WHEN ELWYN Judson’s 

family asked him what he 

wanted for his 90th birthday, 

he simply replied: “Well . . . a 

parachute jump.”

Going into free fall – at 90 

MILESTONE: Elwyn Judson took the biggest leap of his life for his 90th birthday, when he jumped 9000ft from a plane over 

Ashburton with instructor Dakota Keen. 

The Casebrook resident 

launched out of a plane from 

9000ft in a tandem skydive 

over Ashburton to celebrate the 

milestone on May 25. 

In spite of a broken back and 

hip replacement last year, Mr 

Judson felt no nerves at any 

moment during his experience 

– he even remained calm 

during his 30sec free fall. 

Mr Judson loves sport and 

still gets out regularly to play 

outdoor bowls, but the retired 

carpet layer said the skydive 

was his first time doing 

anything so extreme. 

“It’s something that I’d had 

on my bucket list for some 

time,” said Mr Judson.

by thieves 


THIEVES ARE targeting older 

vehicles in Burnside, Bishopdale 

and Redwood. 

Police have warned residents to 

be vigilant after an increase 

in vehicle thefts and break-ins, 

particularly Nissans, Subarus and 

Mazdas. 

Bishopdale resident Paul Harre’s 

1999 Nissan Primera station 

wagon was written off after an 

attempted theft last Sunday. 

Mr Harre parked the vehicle on 

the road outside his house to clear 

some room while he worked on 

his fence. 

A few mornings later, he 

discovered its windows had been 

smashed, the ignition and steering 

lock had been damaged and the 

locks had been drilled on both 

doors. As the vehicle had more 

than $2500 in damage, it was 

written off. 

“We generally don’t leave our 

car on the road. The fact that 

the one time we did we had this 

outcome, it does make me wonder 

whether it’s more common than 

we think.” 

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Neville Jenkins said a lot of 

vehicle thefts and break-ins took 

place due to a lack of security.

THAT’S ONE plucky sort of a fella on page 

1 today. 

I’m referring to 90-year-old Elwyn Judson 

who took a parachute jump to mark his 90th 

birthday. 

He said he had no nerves and remained calm during the 

tandem skydive. I guess you don’t know how you are going to feel 

when you do something like this, until you actually do it. The 

hard part, I suspect, is waiting in the plane for the signal that it is 

time to jump. 

Better him than me. 

Elwyn says the free fall was his favourite part of the experience. 

“You don’t feel as if you’re moving at all, it feels as if you are 

floating.” 

Well done Elwyn.

War of words over ping pong table 


A CONTENTIOUS $4675 

ping pong table has caused 

more controversy in local body 

politics. 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board member John Stringer 

walked out of the board’s recent 

meeting over the issue. 

He claims it 

was because 

chairwoman 

Ali Jones 

wrongfully cut 

him off when 

John Stringer 

Ali Jones 

he asked if the 

board could 

revisit the 

installation of 

the table at 10 

Shirley Rd. 

It is a claim 

not supported 

by city councillor 

Mike 

Davidson. 

Ms Jones warned Mr Stringer 

he would be removed from the 

meeting when he told her not 

to interrupt him, after which he 

stood up and decided to leave. 

But Cr Davidson said the way 

Ms Jones spoke during the incident 

was “very appropriate.” 

“A board meeting is a formal 

meeting and there is a formal 

procedure.”

“The chair has the job of controlling 

meetings.” 

In April, the community 

board voted 3-2 for the concrete 

table, which will cost $3175 and 

$1500 for installation. It will be 

used for multiple purposes – 

including ping pong. 

The move came after 

Richmond resident Jennifer 

Dalziel raised concerns over 

a lack of seating at the Shirley 

Rd site and requested that the 

board investigate seats, as well 

as a table. 

Mr Stringer voted against 

the decision at the time as he 

believed it was too expensive 

and it meant seating would need 

to go back to the city council for 

investigation. Cr Davidson also

DEBATE: A 

contentious 

$4500 ping 

pong table 

which was 

purchased 

for the Shirley 

Community 

Centre has 

caused 

more heated 

discussion 

within the 

Papanui-Innes 

Community 

Board. 

voted against the purchase of 

the table. 

Mr Stringer said he attempted 

to make a point at the recent 

board meeting after the subject 

of seating came up. 

He said there was a 

discussion about seating being 

added at no cost and also the 

possibility of seating not being 

added at all. 

“I was just asking a question 

about the procedure and Ms 

Jones cut me off.” 

But Cr Davidson said, “at 

the end of the day, it was Mr 

Stringer’s decision to walk out.” 

Cr Davidson said it was the 

tone of Mr Stringer’s voice towards 

Ms Jones that prompted 

her to warn him about being 

removed, rather than the discussion 

itself. 

“If Ms Jones asks a member 

to stop speaking, it’s actually 

really appropriate for them to 

actually stop speaking and not 

be disrespectful.” 

“It creates a poor environment 

and can sometimes hamper 

really good decision making. 

It’s important for us to be a really 

adhesive team because we 

are trying to do this in the best 

interest of the community,” said 

Cr Davidson. 

Nor’West News contacted Ms 

Jones for comment and said she 

did not want to get involved in 

the “he said, she said.” 

“I’m not letting it distract 

from our work on the board.” 

In December, Nor’West News 

reported that the board was 

embroiled in a code of conduct 

issue. 

The city council and the community 

board refused to release 

details about what board member 

or members were involved. 

But Nor’West News understood 

there was ongoing tension 

between Ms Jones and Mr 

Stringer at the time. 

Head of community support 

John Filsell said the code of 

conduct investigation is not yet 

complete.

CLARIFICATION 

Last week Nor’west News 

reported the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board granted 

$3500 to Christchurch 

Methodist Mission which 

would go towards a new 

mural at Aratupu Preschool. 

The community board has 

actually laid off funding 

the project for now, as 

members want to know more 

information about the mural 

first. Nor’West News apologises 

for the error.

Oversight 

in skate 

park project 


THE PAPANUI-Innes 

Community Board has requested 

better oversight of the St Albans 

skate park extension project. 

The city council has been working 

with 16 students from St Albans 

School to revamp the current 

skate park. 

The community board expressed 

its disappointment to the city 

council over a lack of information 

and oversight of the project to date. 

City councillor Mike Davidson 

said the board lost visibility of the 

project because it was part of a line 

item in the Long Term Plan which 

included a range of projects, rather 

than an individual item. 

“It became invisible to us – 

which is of concern.” 

“As a board, we were finding out 

a lot of information through the 

council’s Newsline articles rather 

than being informed first. At the 

moment we’re just not getting told 

things,” Cr Davidson said. 

“In terms of moving forward, 

it’s about making sure that the 

community board are more 

involved in terms of the whole 

process of what is happening and 

where it is at.” 

•From page 1 

“It was just something that 

cropped up.” 

His son, Andrew Judson, said 

he organised the skydive with 

initial “apprehension.” 

“I said to him that I would 

pay for it but that he had to get 

checked out by the doctor first. 

He went straight in and got his 

clearance,” said Andrew. 

Mr Judson said the feeling 

of free falling was his favourite 

part of the skydive. 

“You don’t feel as if you’re 

moving at all, It feels as if you 

are floating,” said Mr Judson. 

He said when the parachute 

was pulled, it gave him a chance 

to take in the “brilliant” view 

of “all the ocean and the mountains” 

below him. 

About 20 family members 

waited to congratulate Mr 

Judson at the base of Skydiving 

Kiwis as he came down to land. 

“They were all surprised I 

actually did it,” said Mr Judson. 

One of the family members 

was his 94-year-old sister who 

flew down from Auckland 

for the first time since before 

the earthquakes to watch her 

brother take the plunge. 

“It was really great to have her 

down here for it,” said Mr Judson. 

He said he had “never met a 

friendlier bunch of people” than 

the team at Skydiving Kiwis. 

His instructor, Dakota Keen, 

said the entire skydive “flowed 

really nicely.” 

“I was a bit nervous at the 

start because he has had a 

couple of health issues but we 

saw through them and he did 

everything he was asked to do.” 

Mr Judson was the oldest 

person Mr Keen had ever been 

in a tandem with. 

“It was amazing, it was a great 

honour for me,” he said. 

As far as the next item on Mr 

Judson’s bucket list goes, he said 

he is just focussed on reaching 

his next birthday. 

But he does have one ultimate 

goal – which is to do another 

skydive when he gets to his 

100th birthday.

VIGILANT: Police are advising Bishopdale, Burnside and 

Redwood residents to invest in extra security after an 

increase in the theft of older vehicles. 

Car thefts and break-ins

Said Senior Sergeant Jenkins: 

“There’s no way of sugar-coating 

it, we can’t be everywhere all the 

time. There is an increase, but 

a majority of them could have 

been prevented with diligence,” 

he said. 

Senior Sergeant Jenkins said 

there is no reason Bishopdale, 

Burnside and Redwood are 

being specifically targeted. 

Mr Harre was surprised by 

the attempted theft as he has 

lived at the address for three 

years and said his property and 

vehicles had never been targeted 

until last week. 

A police spokesperson said 

inquiries into vehicle thefts in 

the area are continuing, and 

anyone with information should 

phone police. 

“We recommend people 

use extra security, such as kill 

switches and steering locks, and 

keep property which may be 

targeted out of sight.”

WITH JUST under a week 

left to make a submission, the 

Harewood, Breens and Gardiners 

Rds intersection has already 

gained more feedback than most 

issues over the past 12 months. 

On Friday, the city council had 

received 808 submissions on two 

options to improve safety at the 

intersection. 

This is the second highest 

number of submissions received 

during public consultation over 

the last year. The highest was for 

the Akaroa Community Health 

Trust targeted rate proposal, 

which gained 815 submissions 

from February 25 to March 27. 

Option one, which is the city 

council’s preferred choice, is 

to make Gardiners and Breens 

Rds left-turn in and left-turn 

out only, by closing the median 

on Harewood Rd. Option two 

is to install traffic lights at the 

intersection. 

Consultation has been open for 

three weeks. The closing date for 

submissions is June 10. 

The intersection proposal 

has also overtaken the 739 

submissions received on the 

review of speed limits in the 

southern central city from 

August 14 to September 4 

It also passed the 647 

submissions received between 

January 25 and April 3 on the 

South Express Major Cycle 

Route. 

City councillor Aaron Keown, 

who has been campaigning for 

traffic lights at the intersection 

for three years, held a public 

meeting to discuss the proposal 

at the Bishopdale Library on 

Thursday. 

About 80 residents attended, 

along with Fendalton-Waimairi-

Sylvester spends his 21st in hospital 


SYLVESTER THE cat enjoyed 

a hearty salmon dish at the 

Canterbury Charity Hospital in 

Bishopdale to celebrate turning 

21 last week. 

The shorthaired tomcat has two 

children’s books published about 

him, which are sold to fundraise 

money for the hospital, which 

does not receive any Government 

funding and relies on donations 

and grants. 

The hospital provides free 

elective day surgery, medical 

outpatient clinics, dentistry and 

counselling for people who can 

not access the public or private 

healthcare systems. 

Sylvester - The Charity Hospital 

Cat, published in 2014, and 

Sylvester and the Intruder, 

published in 2017, were written 

by poet Julie Hutton and feature 

illustrations by Garrick Tremain. 

Sylvester and the Intruder was 

written about a period of time 

when Sylvester would trigger the 

alarms at 2am and have security 

called to the hospital. 

Fundraising co-ordinator 

Rosemary Graham was unsure 

how much money the books 

had raised, but they had been 

popular. 

Ms Graham said Sylvester is 

“very affectionate” and “loves 

attention”. He is ironically a “bit 

grumpy” around children. 

She said Sylvester is in good 

health as he is always well looked 

after by hospital staff. He likes 

to have the heater on and his fur 

is groomed with a special brush 

every morning. 

Sylvester has not lived at the 

hospital since birth – in fact, he 

is older than the hospital itself, 

which was established in 2007. 

Sylvester belonged to the 

neighbours before they sold their 

property to the hospital in 2016. 

Ms Graham said the staff were 

asked if they would like to keep 

him, as he would “visit all the 

time anyway.”

AA calls for 

right-turn 

light at 

congested 

intersection 


THE NEW Zealand 

Automobile Association has 

called for a right-turn traffic 

light arrow at the Greers Rd and 

Memorial Ave intersection. 

The AA made the request in 

a letter sent to the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board. 

Southern regional 

administrator Carla Pereira said 

the idea had been raised with 

the city council in the past “to 

no effect.” 

The AA conveyed its 

disappointment an arrow 

was not included in the 

city council’s review of the 

intersection in March, which 

proposed a shared left-turn 

traffic lane, combined with a 

cycle lane. The proposal, which 

was voted down by the board, 

was meant to ease traffic at the 

intersection, which is heavily 

congested during peak times 

due to its close proximity to 

Burnside High and Christ the 

King schools.

Your Local Views 

For the love of trees 

City councillor Aaron 

Keown writes about 

the need to consider 

the well-being of 

residents who wish to 

have trees removed 

from council-owned 

land 

The Baby on the Move display will include many top-brand products. 

Leading suppliers of baby products and carseats, Baby on the Move of 

Wairakei Road in Burnside, and Gasson Street in Sydenham, will again 

be taking part in the annual Baby Expo being held at Pioneer Stadium this 

coming weekend. 

Occupying one of the largest floor areas at the expo, Baby on the Move will be 

displaying many of its top-brand products. They will include infant capsules, 

car seats, buggies, baby baths and more. As always, there will be great deals 

available on products for purchase, including Britax, Diono and Evenflo 

carseats, and the Thule and Baby Jogger buggy ranges. 

LIKE MOST Kiwi kids I 

grew up loving trees. 

Climbing trees, building 

tree huts, they were great 

for hide and seek and some 

even had fruit. 

We also grew up 

knowing that trees had 

a very important part to 

play in the balance of the 

ecosystem. 

Then during autumn, 

you could build massive 

stacks of leaves to hide in 

or if you were really lucky 

an adult would come along 

and let you help them rake 

leaves into piles for a burnoff. 

Then I grew up and the 

reality of being an adult 

kicked in. Suddenly trees 

needed looking after, 

someone had to clean up 

the leaves, acorns and 

other debris that constantly 

drops from trees. Once 

elected I soon learnt that 

not everyone loves trees 

everywhere and I would 

have to agree. 

There is a place for trees 

in the Garden City, in fact, 

we need to plant a lot more, 

but they have to be the 

right tree in the right place. 

Unfortunately, the city 

council currently has a 

policy where it will not cut 

down any healthy tree no 

matter how negative the 

impacts may be on those 

who live around the tree. 

All this does is give us a 

growing number of people 

who dislike or hate trees. 

This is so alien to me, as I 

thought as a child everyone 

loved trees. Every problem 

has a solution and my 

solution is a simple one. 

We must always 

consider the well-being of 

residents as one of the key 

factors when we decide 

whether a tree should be 

removed or not. 

Then if we are to cut 

down or remove a tree we 

should just plant 10 more 

where they are needed and 

wanted. Yes, we need more 

trees but they have to be 

the right tree in the right 

environment and we must 

always look after the well 

being of our residents. 

Happy Arbor Day 

everyone. 

Baby on the Move will also be showcasing their hire range, specifically aimed 

at families expecting a newborn in coming months. 

The stores’ trained and qualified child restraint technicians will be at the 

expo to talk to new parents and grandparents about the safety features and 

benefits of the various carseats, plus there will be seminars on both Saturday 

and Sunday where people can learn how carseats are to be correctly used for 

safety and comfort. 

Whether hiring or purchasing a carseat from Baby on the Move, installation is 

always free of charge. 

Baby on the Move was established in New Zealand more than 20 years 

ago and there are two branches in Christchurch: 

Baby On The Move Christchurch North is located at 515 Wairakei Rd, close 

to Roydvale Avenue, phone 960 9752, and is open Monday to Friday, 9.30am-

OPTIONS: Feedback is being sought on two options to improve the Harewood, 

Breens and Gardiners Rds intersection. 

Merav Benaia 

responds to the 

article about options 

for the contentious 

Harewood, Breens 

and Gardiners Rds 

intersection which 

are currently out for 

consultation 

I HAVE read a number 

of articles in the paper 

regarding the consultation 

on the upgrade of the 

Harewood/Gardiners/ 

Breens intersection. 

As a resident of 

Papanui, I attended the 

consultation sessions, 

and I am surprised to 

learn that option two is 

touted as the preferred 

option and the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board has 

come out in support of it 

and is requesting to defer 

the planned cycle route 

along Harewood Rd. The 

sensible, economical and 

long-term thinking should 

have given the planning 

for this cycle route going 

from Papanui/Main North 

intersection towards the 

airport a higher priority. 

Option one in the 

consultation paper will 

enable the city council to 

address and improve the 

safety at the Harewood/ 

Gardiners/Breens 

intersection immediately. 

The funding is available 

from the cycle route budget 

and will likely be eligible 

for a funding subsidy from 

central Government. This 

way, money can be retained 

for the Greers/Harewood 

intersection, which is far 

more dangerous, causing 

injuries and deaths, as 

crash data shows, and 

is higher on the priority 

list. Option two, which 

proposes having traffic 

lights, will not have the 

required funding available 

in the near future, nor 

do we know if this will 

be available in the next 

decade. This funding is 

not in the Long term Plan 

and the intersection is 

No 62 on the priority list. 

Supporting this option is 

very much tunnel vision 

trying to solve a single 

problem and in light of the 

climate crisis declaration 

that was adopted recently, 

supporting this option 

might be popular but very 

much lacking in vision.

Murray Williams of 

the Papanui Heritage 

Group highlights 

the history of the 

Firestone Factory in 

the third of a short 

series of articles 

OVER THE last two 

months, we have briefly 

reviewed the history of the 

Firestone plant in Papanui. 

In this article, we learn 

something about what it 

was like to work on the factory 

floor. Trevor Newton’s 

late father, Jock, worked for 

Firestone from 1949 until 

1973. 

Jock, who had previously 

worked for a family 

firewood business, was attracted 

by the good wages 

and the job security, in 

contrast to the stress and 

variable income associated 

with the family venture. 

The Firestone factory 

was a labour intensive 

business. The process of 

tyre-making was broken 

down into a number of 

specialist tasks and Trevor’s 

father was trained as 

a bead maker, responsible 

for the production of the 

key component which was 

designed to hold the tyre 

on the rim of the wheel. 

Once the process was mastered, 

boredom was the 

biggest problem as the task 

was endlessly repetitive. 

When Trevor was 12, his 

father took him into the 

factory to show him where 

he worked. Trevor was 

struck with the contrast 

between the peaceful 

grassy open spaces outside 

the building and the reality 

of conditions inside the 

factory. He remembers the 

noise of the machinery and 

the pervading presence 

of soot and he found the 

whole atmosphere frightening. 

The soot was actually 

lampblack and later the 

union was concerned that 

exposure to this carbonbased 

material could be 

carcinogenic. 

However, the company 

was also known for its 

willingness to look after 

its workforce. Two large 

cafeterias provided good 

quality food and at Christmas 

time a party for the 

workers and their families 

was held. 

Various handouts were 

also dispensed – items 

such as glass ashtrays 

encircled with miniature 

rubber tyres were popular 

as were the large annual 

calendars with the eyecatching 

Firestone masthead 

which also featured 

New Zealand scenic views. 

Long-standing employees 

were also eligible for an 

issue of company stock, 

and when his father died in 

1975, Trevor inherited 400 

shares. 

Trevor still travels along 

the cycleway beside the 

railway line and although 

the physical evidence of 

the factory no longer exists 

he can still imagine the 

smell of rubber in the air 

and recalls the advertising 

jingle he remembers from 

his childhood. ‘The name 

is known as Firestone, 

where the rubber meets the 

road.’

MEANING: 

Arquead 

Marsden 

Walker 

Williams’ 

poster is 

on display 

at the 

Papanui 

Library. 


THE PAPANUI Library 

windows are covered in artwork 

telling the personal stories of 12 

young people in the community. 

Te Ora Hou Otautahi hosted 

its sixth annual Polyphony 

event during the recent ‘youth 

week’, which gave young people 

an opportunity to express 

themselves through the theme 

“we are more than you see.” 

Young people from Papanui 

High School, Te Kaupapa 

Whakaora and Te Ora Hou 

Otautahi clubs used photography 

to illustrate issues which have 

impacted them. 

About 80 residents, parents, 

SCHOOLS 

Young people share their 

lives through library posters 

students and Papanui-Innes 

Community Board members 

packed into the library on May 

24 to view the artwork and listen 

to seven of the young artists 

describe the meaning behind 

their creations. 

Papanui High student Arquead 

Marsden Walker Williams, 

shared the story behind his photo 

collage, which represented being 

judged based on appearance. 

Six photos showed the 15-yearold 

doing different things that 

define him, such as expressing 

his faith by holding a bible, 

showing his heritage by holding a 

taiaha (spear) and conveying his 

education by wearing his school 

uniform. 

Goodall drops into Rangi 

ONE OF the country’s leading 

environmentally sustainable 

schools, Rangi Ruru, hosted 

world-renowned conservationist 

Dame Jane Goodall last week. 

Dr Goodall was in 

Christchurch as part of 

the worldwide Roots and 

Shoots programme, of which 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

is a member. Canterbury 

University’s Community 

Engagement Hub was also 

instrumental in setting up her 

visit to Rangi Ruru. 

Dr Goodall discussed her 

programme and the work 

the school has undertaken to 

become a leading sustainable 

school. 

Head of sustainability, year 

13 student Rosetta Brown, 

discussed the school’s ongoing 

initiatives and other global 

environmental issues. 

“We were so excited to host 

Dr Goodall,” said Rosetta. 

“She is legendary in the world 

of conservation and animal 

welfare, as well as shining a light 

on environmental issues.” 

Said director of sustainability 

Kate Rivers: “The best place 

to embed a change in how 

we approach sustainability is 

close to home which is why 

environmental awareness and 

programmes are so intertwined 

in everyday life at Rangi.” 

Fitting in well with the Roots 

and Shoots Programme, the 

school has locked in ambitious 

sustainability policies,

embedding new habits and 

initiatives to reduce effects on 

the planet. 

The establishment of 

a biodigester at the school is the 

current project being driven by 

students on the Sustainability 

Council and Energy Action 

Group. 

They plan to start fundraising 

for the project shortly. The 

biodigester will convert green 

waste to biogas and allow Rangi 

Ruru to eliminate the need for 

non-renewable energy. 

“This will further reduce 

our carbon footprint while 


making significant savings to 

reinvest into innovative, new 

sustainability projects. We 

hope this initiative will become 

a model for other New Zealand 

schools and institutions in the 

future,” said Rosetta. 

Rangi Ruru has already 

reduced waste to landfill by 58 

per cent in the past three years, 

through education, source 

separation, creating healthy 

habits, increasing collections of 

reusable goods to redistribute, 

and by working closely with the 

community, social enterprise and 

business.

In your 

neighbourhood 

Play, learn, grow 

The Enchanted Garden Early 

Childhood Centre on Greers Road 

in Bryndwr is a very special place 

where babies and children are given the 

chance to develop and learn in a cosy, 

home-like environment. It takes its 

name from the large garden tucked 

away at the back of the centre which 

is filled with fruit trees and is a safe 

place for children to play and find 

out about the natural world. 

Parents know that when they 

leave their children at The 

Enchanted Garden, they are 

in safe hands. The small team 

are all fully-qualified teachers 

and the teacher-to-child ratios 

are extremely generous. In the 

nursery there is a teacher for 

every three children and in the preschool, 

that increases to one teacher 

per seven children. That means all 

children receive heaps of attention so 

that the teachers can make sure they 

are comfortable, cared for and happy as 

well as encouraging them to develop. 

The team works closely with parents 

at all stages and parents are always 

welcome to drop in and be involved 

in their child’s learning or just 

spend some time enjoying the 

family-atmosphere. 

Debbie Taylor is the owner and 

manager of The Enchanted Garden, and 

as a teacher as well, she understands 

how important it is to combine learning 

and meeting Te Whāriki, the national 

curriculum for young children, 

alongside free play and fun. There is 

a focus on welcoming children from 

a diverse range of backgrounds and 

celebrating this through food, song and 

stories so that children grow up to be 

part of a richer community. She and her 

team have made it as easy as possible 

for parents and carers to combine busy 

lives with the needs of young children. 

The centre opens at 7.30am and does not 

close until 5.30pm and they offer both 

half and full-day options to fit in with 

work and other commitments. Their 

rates are already competitive but they 

also offer up to 20 hours’ free per week 

for children aged two-and-a-half to five 

years old. 

You can find them at 255 Greers 

Road (just follow the sound of 

laughter and singing), check them 

out at theenchantedgarden.co.nz or

RISINGHOLM COMMUNITY CENTRE 

Cherished homestead 

restored and ready to re-open 

A cherished community resource in 

Opawa, closed since the February 2011 

earthquake, is set to re-open this week, 

fully restored. 

Risingholme, the historic homestead in 

Cholmondeley Avenue, was badly damaged 

in the earthquake, and then received 

further devastating damage in a fire on 

Queen’s Birthday weekend, 2016. 

The restoration work, which started 

in January 2018, is now complete, and 

tomorrow Christchurch Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel will officially reopen the homestead, 

handing it back to the community, which 

has been waiting eagerly to use and enjoy 

it again. 

Registered with the Historic Places Trust 

as a Category 2 historic place and now in 

its 75th year, this gracious building set in 

beautiful park surroundings was purchased 

and gifted to the city council in 1943 by 

John McKenzie, founder of the McKenzies 

retail stores, for the “health, amusement 

and instruction of the public”. 

That resulted in the ongoing development 

of educational and leisure classes, covering 

a wide diversity of topics and interests, 

which over the years have drawn people of 

all ages and backgrounds. 

Director of Risingholme Community 

Centre, the not-for-profit organisation that 

runs the Adult and Community Education 

classes, Wendel Karati, says people attend 

classes for many reasons, perhaps following 

trauma, wanting to learn a new skill, gain 

employment or to enjoy the company of 

like-minded people as they learn. 

“Coming to a class can help restore selfconfidence 

and bring new hope for people,” 

she says. 

During the closure of Risingholme 

Homestead and Hall the Risingholme 

Community Centre has continued to 

operate from 99 Hawford Road, directly 

behind Risingholme Park. Classes have 

also been held at Riccarton High School, 

Hornby High School and Girls’ High, as 

well as at other community facilities around 

the city. 

The full programme of classes is listed on 

the Risingholme website and enrolments 

can be completed on the website or by 

calling into the Risingholme Community 

Centre office, 22 Cholmondeley Avenue, 

Opawa. 

The hall at Risingholme has also 

been repaired and is again available for 

community groups to hire. 

OPEN DAY 

Saturday 8th June 

10am - 2pm 

This Saturday, Risingholme is 

holding an open day for people to 

come and see the newly restored 

homestead and find out about the 

classes. 

“There has been huge community 

interest in the restoration, and this 

will be an opportunity for people to 

come and celebrate the reopening of 

Risingholme,” Wendel says. 

The open day will run from 10am- 

2pm. Refreshments will be available 

for purchase, including soup in a 

special commemorative cup that has 

been created in Risingholme’s pottery 

studio.

Research supports 

eye health 

Are you Magnesium 

deficient? 

Nutritional researchers have 

discovered a range of nutrients 

that are essential for eye 

health. Some of the most 

essential nutrients that 

have been shown to 

protect and even improve 

eye function are: 

Selenium, is a trace mineral 

that is low in N.Z. soils and therefore in 

many of our foods. Researchers believe 

selenium may help prevent cataracts, 

macular degeneration (the leading cause 

of impaired vision in older people) and 

may also improve dry eyes and general eye 

health. 

Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage 

of the population are low in. Zinc has been 

shown to help protect the eyes from the 

damaging effects of light as well as slow 

vision loss due to macular degeneration. 

Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene 

(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have 

potent antioxidant ability and help protect 

the eyes from damage 

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing 

nutrients that have been shown in 

landmark research to not only provide 

potent eye protection but may even help 

reverse some of the signs of age-related 

macular degeneration (AMD). 

Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent 

antioxidants may help protect the lens 

and retina from damage and reduce the 

risk of cataracts. They also may 

help improve blood supply 

to the eye, strengthen the 

small capillaries of 

the eye and may help 

improve night vision, 

may alleviate many eye 

ailments including eye fatigue 

that may be caused by reading, driving and 

computers. 

Eyebright may help normalise eye 

pressure and reduce eye allergies. 

Taurine is an amino acid that is essential 

for correct eye function. It may also have a 

detoxifying affect on the eye. 

Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue, 

bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision. 

Yumberry is the latest in eye protection. 

It provides many nutrients, is rich in 

oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) that 

are potent antioxidants that may protect 

eyesight. 

These nutrients taken in a therapeutic 

amount help provide comprehensive eye 

protection, may slow and possibly even 

help reverse eye damage that could lead 

to loss of vision. All these nutrients are 

available in an economical one a day easy 

to swallow capsule. 

Further information is available in 

store at Marshall’s Health & Natural 

Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always 

happy to help! 

Minerals are the building blocks of 

good health. Some minerals are only 

needed in trace amounts where others 

like magnesium are need in much larger 

amounts and on a regular basis to prevent 

deficiency and maintain optimum health. 

A large number of us do not obtain 

sufficient magnesium from our diet 

and may notice some of the common 

signs of deficiency. Some of the more 

common symptoms that may be caused by 

insufficient magnesium are: leg and muscle 

cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle 

fatigue and weakness, tremors of hands, 

blurred vision, restlessness, poor sleep, 

raised and/or unstable blood pressure, 

poor circulation, irregular heartbeat, 

shortness of breath, swallowing problems, 

dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation, 

irritability, seizures, poor concentration 

and many more. 

Although many young people now 

show signs of magnesium deficiency 

symptoms generally worsen as we age 

due to our digestive system being less 

efficient. Taking a magnesium supplement 

of sufficient strength may be a sensible 

option to top up our vital magnesium 

levels. Not all magnesium supplements 

however are well absorbed by everyone. 

Luckily GO- HEALTHY’S marine sourced 

magnesium offers excellent absorption due 

to its natural co-factors that include many 

trace nutrients that are low in the diet but 

essential for good health.

Are You MAgnesiuM Deficient? 

Minerals are the building blocks of good health. Some minerals are only 

needed in trace amounts where others like magnesium are need in much 

larger amounts & on a regular basis to prevent deficiency & maintain 

optimum health. A large number of us do not obtain sufficient magnesium 

from our diet & may notice some of the common signs of deficiency. 

Some of the more common symptoms that may be caused by insufficient 

magnesium are: leg & muscle cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle 

fatigue & weakness, tremors of hands, blurred vision, restlessness, poor 

sleep, raised &/or unstable blood pressure, poor circulation, irregular 

heartbeat, shortness of breath, swallowing problems, dizziness, headaches, 

anxiety, agitation, irritability, seizures, poor concentration & many more. 

Although many young people now show signs of magnesium deficiency 

symptoms generally worsen as we age due to our digestive system being 

less efficient. Taking a magnesium supplement of sufficient strength 

may be a sensible option to top up our vital magnesium levels. Not all 

magnesium supplements however are well absorbed by everyone. Luckily 

a new marine sourced magnesium has been found that offers good levels 

of absorbable magnesium as well as many trace nutrients that are low in 

the diet but essential for good health.

HOME & HEATING 

Get rid of 

dampness in 

your house 

Now with the colder and wetter weather 

on its way, home owners are focusing on 

ways to make their homes comfortable, 

warm and healthy for their families 

throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue 

that affects many of our older properties 

which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. 

In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many 

people have relocated to homes that suffer 

from rising damp which can be associated 

with health problems. Independent tests 

have shown that up to 40 litres of water 

can rise from the ground and enter a 

house every day, leading to mildew, mould, 

condensation and musty smells. Moulds 

can produce various allergic reactions 

and the frail, elderly and very young are 

especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The 

team understands the problems caused 

by rising damp and are there to help. 

They will come to your damp home 

and pump a lightweight, flowable foam 

concrete under your timber floored home. 

Specially adapted for our New Zealand 

conditions and applications it provides a 

layer of protection against rising moisture. 

An unexpected benefit that the team at 

Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed 

recently, is that many owners of properties 

which had underfloor foam concrete 

installed, reported that it also provided 

protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete 

Ltd now for your free, no obligation 

quote and complimentary appraisal of 

your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone 

03 376 4608 or 0508FOAMCO for more 

information. 

What makes a great 

Heat Transfer System? 

There are a number of Heat Transfer 

systems on the market. Smooth-Air 

ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU 

Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected 

components to optimise the system: 

They use insulated duct to transfer the 

heated air with as little heat loss as possible. 

The fan moves sufficient air for the distance 

and number of rooms, without being noisy. 

The diffusers send the heat to the floor, 

not to skim the across the ceilings. All 

components are good quality - designed to 

operate for years without problems. 

Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of 

options: One to four rooms, with or without 

thermostat and with a choice of grilles and 

diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency 

in your house, as you are using excess 

heat. They have low power consumption 

- only 80watts for the three room system. 

Circulating air through the house also 

reduces the risk of damp. 

You can also choose the HTU version 

with downjet diffusers, which throw the 

warm air downwards to the floor. These 

downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to 

regulate which room receives the most 

warm air. 

An average size living room requires 2-4 

kw of heating, yet appliances such as log 

burners generate heat in the region of 10 

-20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of 

heat which sits at high level in the heated 

room, usually above door level. 

Heat transfer units work best where very 

hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the 

ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate 

warm air around the room with no 

layering, are not suitable as a heat source 

by themselves. However, if you have both 

log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer 

systems with thermostat can work very 

well: The heat pump stops operating once 

the heat from the fire has heated the room, 

and the heat transfer kicks in above this 

point, once there is a layer of hot air at the 

ceiling.

(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help 

you with your Heat Transfer, as well as 

any other ventilation requirements.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

A report said there are two

Pupils learn about role of war horses

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’s submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes

Mr Mora said the community

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second at the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

Winder was part of the Pure 

South Sharp Blacks team.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile 

traders acro s the districts could 

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the 

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za 

cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to 

o pose the pla ned qua ry near 

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
