MAYORAL HOPEFUL Darryll
Park has pledged his support
for residents opposing the
controversial Fulton Hogan quarry
planned for Templeton.
But he does not believe he can
stop it from going ahead if he is
elected mayor.
Mr Park said going forward he
will support residents through his
experience against the Yaldhurst
quarries.
He told Western News his involvement
going forward will be supporting
residents through his historical
Yaldhurst experience which has
“delivered advantageous” outcomes
on quarries in the past.
It comes as the Templeton
Residents’ Association are preparing
their verbal submission for the
upcoming hearing next month
on Fulton Hogan’s 170ha quarry
for Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones and
Maddisons Rds.
The consenting conditions
residents would like to see if in
“the worst case” the Fulton Hogan
quarry is approved will be included
in the TRA’s submission.
TRA treasurer Jolene Eagar said it
is about preparing for the best and
worst-case scenario.

Feedback on Templeton sougnt

LARGE developments planned
for Templeton has prompted
a public meeting to gauge
community feedback on the
township’s changing landscape.
Templeton residents will meet
with the city council this month
to seek feedback
on what
they would
like to see on
the site if the
cemetery and
sports park
goes ahead.
Jolene Eagar
The city
council is
planning to
transform two-thirds of 100ha of
land it owns into a cemetery and
zone the rest of it into a sports
park.
But is still yet to go through
a resource consent and public
consultation process.
City council’s head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said it wants to
get feedback from the Templeton
community about what they
would like to see on the site if the
cemetery and sports park went
ahead.
Mr Rutledge said it has considered
how the township’s roading
infrastructure will be impacted
if the developments go ahead,
but want to get early input from
residents.
“As such, we currently have
no firm designs for the site that
allow us to quantify the expected
changes to Templeton, the
roading infrastructure or how
we will address these changes,”
he said.
But he said once the community
has consulted and finalised
its discussions with adjacent
landowners it will be in a position
to design the development
in a manner which minimises
the impact on Templeton.

do you think the proposed
developments for Templeton

Lifetime dedicated to
helping children recognised
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A LIFETIME dedicated to
giving children with disabilities
the best start in life has seen Jan
Murphy recognised as a local
hero.
The Burnside resident has
spent more than 40 years working
at The Champion Centre and
has successfully developed intervention
programs to support
children and their families.
In recognition of her hard
work, Mrs Murphy, 67, has won
a Westfield Local Hero award for
her contribution to the community
along with a $10,000 grant
to continue the work.
The Champion Centre is a notfor-profit
organisation based in
Burwood which provides multidisciplinary
early intervention
services to infants and young
children with disabilities.
This includes children with
Down’s syndrome, autism spectrum
disorder, dyspraxia and
global development delay.
More than 2000 children and
families have been supported
through the intervention programmes.
Mrs Murphy said she felt
Jan Murphy ​
“overwhelmed” and “humbled”
to receive the award.
“For many years now I have
had the honour and privilege of
knowing and working alongside
infants, small children and their
families who find themselves on
an unexpected journey – that of
developmental difference and
disability.
“There are many reasons why
developmental differences exist
but, for me, the constant in it all
is the enormous courage of the
parents and their remarkable
children. In truth, they are the
heroes,” Mrs Murphy said.
She started out as a speechlanguage
therapist for the now
Ministry of Education and was
based in speech therapy clinics
in schools.
But early on in her career, Mrs
Murphy felt very strongly the
injustice children with complex
learning needs could not access
any of the resources they
needed.
In 1978 she joined a small
band of professional women
who believed they could make a
difference to the lives of children
and established The Champion
Centre.
“The Champion Centre is an
amazing place . . . I love that
every day of the week these
families join highly-skilled and
committed professionals and
together they enable their children
to achieve more than ever
thought possible.
Mrs Murphy said her goal
for the future is The Champion
Centre may be sustainable and
accessible for any children and
families who need it.
Staffing issues
force cafe to close
•From page 1
“We have been struggling to
get enough staff for the past six
months. It is very difficult,” she
said.
The cafe has received a large
amount of support online with
many praising the cafe.
Mrs Schaper said she has heard
staffing is an issue not only in
hospitality industries but retail
as well.
Mrs Schaper said the cafe needs
seven full-time staff to operate,
especially with the busy season
coming up.
It has five existing staff at the
moment including herself and
her daughter (some working parttime)
but has three leaving at the
end of the year.
She said the cafe has tried to
train people up on a three-month
trial – but they often leave.
Kawa Cafe is a family-owned
business run by Janice, her
husband Hans and their daughter
Alicia specialising in organic
food.
The cafe was established on
Avoca Valley about 10 years ago
but due to the earthquakes was
closed. The cafe reopened in
Halswell in 2014.
CLOSED: Kawa Cafe on
Quaifes Rd.
While Mrs Schaper said she is
unsure what the next chapter will
be, the organic vegetables grown
by Mr Schaper will continue to be
sold at the Opawa Market.
Mrs Schaper said she is going
to miss the customers and has
received many messages, cards
and people phoning up in
support.
“It is very sweet, we get such
lovely customers. They have been
supporting us all this time.”

Social enterprise calls
Sections from $191,000
for speed limit review in Wigram Skies
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
Michael
Toothill
“OUR TEAM literally take their
lives in their own hands each
time they cross the road.”
That is how Kilmarnock Enterprises
chief executive officer
Michael Toothill describes the
day-to-day difficulties members
of the organisation, who have a
number of disabilities,
face
when walking
across Lodestar
Ave.
That is why
the social enterprise,
based
on Lodestar
Ave, is advocating
for the
speed limit to be lowered on the
road as part of a proposed speed
limit of roads in Wigram Skies.
The enterprise provides employment,
training and support
for people with disabilities.
The city council is considering
lowering the speed limits
of roads in the Wigram Skies
subdivision from 50km/h to
40km/h – including Lodestar.
Mr Toothill, along with members,
as well as general manager
Robbi Shearer made a presentation

pushing for the changes to be

Crossing the road is all the
more challenging for his team
who have a range of disabilities.
Mr Toothill described some of
the challenges members of the
enterprise faced is spatial and
situation awareness and the ability
to make quick decisions.
Bridget Platt said she often
feels anxious when she has
caught the bus to the enterprise
on a sunny morning when visibility
is more difficult and the
traffic is busy.

vid Graham who said crossing
Lodestar Ave is “dangerous at
the best of times.”
“Even though you look both
ways the cars sneak up on you
and speed is a factor around
other things.”
Rachel Meads told the board
getting across Lodestar Ave in
the morning was “absolutely
impossible.”
“It scares the living wits out
of me.”
The enterprise is also calling
for warning flashing signals and
lines to be painted on Lodestar
Ave to narrow the road and slow

traffic down.
As of March this year on average
2707 vehicles are travelling
on the road daily – an increase
from September 2018 of 2414
daily.
For the past four years, noisy
trucks on Lodestar Ave have
been a long-standing issue for
residents living at Lady Wigram
Retirement Village.
At the board meeting, the
community board received a
memorandum from city council
staff on plans to undertake a
pre-assessment of a speed limit
review for the Wigram Skies
area.
City council staff will be
discussing the proposed speed
limit review with organisations
including police, Wigram
Primary School and businesses
before reporting to the board
this month.
Mr Shearer said Lodestar Ave
coming up for a speed limit
review was helpful and a good
start.
$1500 raised for
breast milk bank
A QUIZ fundraiser has raised
more than $1500 for the Rotary
community breast milk bank.
The bank, based at St George’s
hospital in Merivale, is the only
centre in New Zealand to supply
pasteurised donor breast milk to
babies in need outside the neonatal
unit.
More than 150 babies have
been supported with the “liquid
gold” since the bank’s opening
last year.
The service is run entirely
by volunteers, with mothers
donating their excess breast
milk.
The milk bank runs entirely on
community support, therefore
fundraising is required to meet
the annual operating costs of
$30,000.
The Rotary Club of New
Horizons held the quiz night at
the Elmwood Trading Co and
more than 100 participants went
along to support the cause.
Anna Bush, president of
Rotary Christchurch New
Horizons was grateful with the
amount raised for the cause.
“This is thanks to the
generosity of those who
participated in the quiz,” she
said.

History of Halswell on show at quarry
HALSWELL’S history
dating back to 1850 will be
showcased this month.
More than 1000 photos
of the area were compiled
together by former Halswell
Quarry Park ranger, John
Moore.
A retired farmer, Mr Moore
has lived in the Halswell area
since 1978.
Mr Moore helped transform
the Halswell Quarry into the
park that it is today throughout
the 1990s and early 2000s.
The majority of his collection
was passed down
from late photographer Lyal
Browne and late historian
Doug Ridder.
Mr Ridder lived in Halswell
for 81 years, until he passed
away in 2002, aged 85.
A lot of the history work focused
on the Halswell Quarry,
which opened in the 1860s
and closed in 1990.
The photographs will be
displayed at the Halswell
Quarry Information Centre
October 19 and 20.

Photo hunt keeps the past alive
THE ARTS Centre as we know it
has been part of Christchurch’s
landscape for generations –
but this glimpse of one of its
buildings standing alone on a
dusty unpaved road is unfamiliar
to many of us.
From 1877 until the mid-1950s,
the Arts Centre was buzzing
with students, as Canterbury
College (now Canterbury
University) and Christchurch
Girls’ and Boys’ High Schools
used the buildings as a campus at
various times.
The buildings were transferred
to the Arts Centre Trust Board
when Canterbury University
completed its move to Ilam in the
1970s.
Designed by prominent
architect Benjamin Mountfort,
this Gothic Revival tower served
as the Observatory and Biology
building, with a telescope gifted
by James Townsend located in
the Observatory right at the top
when this photo was taken.
The historic Townsend
Telescope, a six-inch refractor
made by Thomas Cooke and
Sons of York, England, in 1864,
was recovered from the rubble of
the Arts Centre tower after the
February 22, 2011, earthquake.
The Arts Centre and
Canterbury University plan to
restore the building and the
telescope.
HISTORY: This photo of the Observatory, Canterbury College,
circa 1895, was entered in the 2013 Christchurch City Libraries’
Photo Hunt.
The Beca Christchurch
Heritage Festival 2019 starts
on Monday and this year, as
part of the festival, Christchurch
City Libraries will celebrate 10
years of the Christchurch Photo
Hunt.
Over the past decade, the photo
hunt has collected hundreds of
great photos like this one, and
Christchurch City Libraries
hopes people will dust off their
collections and unearth some
more treasures.
The photo hunt competition
runs from now until October 31.
Your photo hunt photos will be

Clean audit result
for council
THE CITY council has received
a clean result from Audit New
Zealand.
City councillors adopted the
2019 annual report outlining
the city council’s financial
performance at their meeting on
September 26.
They acknowledged a
range of achievements across
Christchurch during the year.
These included big projects such
as Ngā Puna Wai, Tūranga and
the town hall as well as smaller
projects.
Deputy chair of the city council
audit and risk management committee
Raf Manji said the second
clean audit in as many years was
a significant achievement.
The report shows the city council
invested $408 million on city
services and facilities.
This funded work to replace
worn out or damaged underground
services, such as sewers
and water supply pipes, improvements
to roads, new cycleways,
bus priority lanes and new community
facilities.
The city council’s asset base
has also grown. It now has $13.3
billion in assets, up from $13.1
billion in the previous year.
Capital expenditure for the
year was $408 million. This is
lower than the planned amount
of $480 million and down on the
$501 million last year.

Climate issue leads to award
• By Claire Booker
EMMA TAYLOR’S generation
is full of leaders striking for
climate action, and she used this
passion to create a science fair
entry.
The 17-year-old St Margaret’s
College pupil placed third-best at
the NIWA Canterbury-Westland
Schools Science Fair.
More than 200 students from
26 schools entered the event held
at Canterbury University.
Emma’s entry focused on the
impact of ocean acidification
and the entry explored how
pH and temperature affect
the concentration of calcium
carbonate that green-lipped
mussel shells leach.
“I wanted to do a project
that would have a real-world
application. Climate change
and ocean acidification affect
us all, especially here in New
Zealand with our primary
industries and the communities
they support. New Zealand’s
territory is largely ocean with it
playing an important part in our
culture and heritage. We have
a responsibility to care for it,”
Emma said.
This year was Emma’s first
time entering the science section
of the fair, but she entered the
technology section in 2017.
Her entry took months of

Canterbury-Westland Schools Science Fair for her entry on

acidification affects us all.’

work totalling about 30 hours to
complete the entry.
Emma said climate change is a
huge issue for young people.
“Around the world, young people
have been at the forefront of
the voices that call for measures
to avert climate change. Our
generation is becoming more and
more environmentally concerned
and proactive,” she said.
Emma chose to focus her
science fair entry on greenlipped
mussels because the
seafood industry is an important
primary industry for New
Zealand.
She said because greenlipped
mussels live close to the
shoreline, they are particularly
vulnerable to our changing temperature.

placed second.
Park backs Templeton residents
•From page 1
“We want the application
declined but should the commissioners
decide to approve
the application we want to make
sure we have the proper conditions
in place that will ensure the
community and environment
is protected,” Mrs
Eagar said.
“He (Darryll Park)
was quite keen to
help us with some
advice around that
from his previous
experience with the
conditions,” she said.
Mrs Eagar said
Mr Park has told the
residents he does not
want the quarry to
go ahead in Templeton
because he
understands as a Yaldhurst resident
what it is like to live near a
quarry.
Mr Park said he is committed
to supporting the community
and wants to share his previous
experience of being involved
with quarry hearings as a Yaldhurst
resident.
In the past, Mr Park, who is
currently a Yaldhurst resident,
gave evidence as a witness and
in support of his neighbour
John Payne at the Roberts Road
Waterloo Business Park quarry
hearing, due to his lifestyle block
being two properties removed
from the site.
He also instigated former
Selwyn MP Amy Adams and
Greater Christchurch Regeneration
Minister Megan Woods to
attend an on-site Roberts Rd
meeting which ensued a meeting
with the city council’s mayor’s
office.
Mr Park is selling
up to move from his
Yaldhurst lifestyle
block into the CBD.
Mrs Eagar said it is
important residents
get support from Mr
Park if incumbent
mayor Lianne Dalziel
is not re-elected.
Mr Park also clarified
with the residents
Darryll Park ​ his friendship with
Road Metals managing
director Murray Francis’ late
father Stan which dates back 40
years.
He said he knows Fulton
Hogan general manager Craig
Stewart in his relationship as his
lifestyle block in Yaldhurst is two
properties removed from the
Fulton Hogan quarry on Pound
Rd.
“I have been involved in
hearings against these quarries
and acquaintances play no
part in my role in challenging
them in getting the best result
for me and the community I’m
supporting,” he said.

Young karter sharpening his racing skills
TWELVE-YEAR-OLD ST
Joseph’s School pupil Louis
Sharp is a winner and recordsetter
at every level of his fouryear
motorsport career with
multiple championships to his
name.
Now the talented karter
faces his biggest challenge to
date – making his European
racing debut at the ROK Cup
superfinal event in Italy this
weekend.
Racing at the South Garda
track near Lonato, east of Milan,
Louis is one of 134 entrants
aged nine to 13 from around the
world competing in the Vortex
Mini category for the World
ROK Cup title.
The young karter qualified
for the superfinal by winning
New Zealand’s Vortex Mini
national sprint championship.
He then qualified a second time
by winning the New Zealand
ROK cup championship, an
accumulation of points across
four major New Zealand
events, becoming the first Kiwi
competitor to secure both
superfinal qualifying entries.
Hawke’s Bay karter Tom
Bewley was runner-up to Louis
in the ROK Cup, and therefore
earned the second Superfinal
entry in the Vortex Mini ROK
category.
This is Louis’ first European
competition and the young
champion says he’s very excited
and a little bit nervous. He’s

put in plenty of groundwork,
watching races at the South
Garda track on YouTube and
racing hard to defend his
McLaren Racing Mainland
Series title at KartSport
Canterbury just prior to
departing for Italy.
“I’ve been watching previous
year’s finals and think I’ve
worked out where to pass on this
circuit,” he said.
Louis’ main goal is to reach
the A final with the top 30
competitors – the finals take
place on October 12.
He knows it’s a big goal as
many of his competitors have
raced at the circuit and at
an event with this intensity
previously. He is mindful that
he is racing for the first time at
this highly-regarded circuit in
a kart run by a team he’s only
just met and it’s a World Cup
event. But Louis knows this is an
opportunity to learn; he wants to
SPORT
‘I can’t wait; it will be so
much fun’
– Louis Sharp
make the most of the experience
as he is young enough to
compete at this event next year if
he qualifies again.
“The track looks to be very fast
and I will need to qualify well
to have a chance of making the
A final. I’m in a good team with
the Parolin AV Racing team who
have won it in previous years.
I can’t wait; it will be so much
fun,” said Louis.
Ultimately, he would like to
go all the way to formula 1 or
IndyCars.

Pithie, CBHS claim national road titles
SPORT
• By Jacob Page
LAURENCE PITHIE showed his class in
leading the way for the Christchurch Boys’
High School road cycling team at the
nationals at Feilding last week.
Pithie won two gold medals at the
junior track world championships in Germany
last month and appeared to have no
trouble switching back to the road.
He helped CBHS retain the Sir Bernard
Fergusson Trophy in winning the under-20
team time trial and then he won
individual gold in the under-20 points
race and road race respectively.
Christchurch Boys’ clocked 23min
38.97sec for the 16km loop, holding off
the efforts of the Cambridge Boys’ High
School combination by just 0.031sec – the
blink of an eye. Palmerston North Boys’
High School were third at 16sec behind.
Long time mentor Gary McNaughton
said he was thrilled with the performance.
“These boys have been with me since
year nine and I have seen them grow into
fine young men. For them to go back to
back is an amazing feeling, with four riders
at the end finishing the job,” he said.
“The friendship and camaraderie
amongst themselves, their coaches and
with me means I consider them family.”
The success continued for Christchurch
Boys’ High School.
It proved a triple treat for the double
junior track world champion Pithie who
has quickly picked up his form on the

road since his brilliant efforts on the track
in Germany last month.
Pithie edged under-19 national representative
Xander White (Cambridge
High) and fellow Madison world champion
Kiaan Watts (Hamilton Boys) in a
sprint finish in the road race.
There was more solid team work from
his Christchurch Boys’ High teammates

to dominate the sprints with 12 points
ahead of Watts and Jensen Foster (Saint
Kentigern).
It was made doubly challenging as rain
fell with the high winds for the boy’s race,
which was reduced from 12 to seven laps.
“It was treacherous conditions so I went
hard as I knew I could put some pressure
on from the start,” he said.
“The Christchurch Boys’ High boys got
around me towards the end and helped
me bring it home.
“We started off the weekend taking
home the gold in the team time trial
which set-up the boys well and we were
all in good spirits. And we had a couple
of boys away in the break today – Griffin
Spencer and Guy Yarrell – and it all
played out well to bring it into a sprint on
the final lap and I took it from there.”
Nearly 600 riders from 84 schools
took part in the 52nd annual schools
championship, staged over three days.

Tasty Bites
Cooking with what is in season
Lemons and fennel are in
season and they make a
perfect partnership. This
subtle combination works
beautifully on its own
as a light dinner or will
accompany seafood, pork
and lamb
Lemon and fennel risotto
Ingredients
1500ml vegetable stock, hot
2 lemons
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
2 shallots
1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed
3 bulbs fennel, sliced thinly and
tops reserved
400g risotto rice, such as arborio
or carnaroli
200ml dry white wine
100g parmesan cheese, finely
grated
1 cup fennel fronds
½ purple olives, stones removed
50ml olive oil
sea salt and cracked pepper
Directions
Bring the stock to the boil. In a
medium-sized saucepan, heat the
oil and butter, add fennel seeds
and shallots and cook gently
for 3min. Add the sliced fennel
bulbs and cover with a lid and
cook for about 15min until the
fennel has softened and become
sweet and fragrant.
Add the zest of one lemon and
juice from half.
Add the rice and stir well so
the rice gets coated. Cook until
the rice becomes lightly toasted.
Add wine and stir well until it
has been absorbed into the rice.
Ladle the hot stock in one ladle
at a time. Stir well between each
addition so the rice sucks up the
stock and becomes creamy.
Continue until the rice is
tender and creamy and the sauce
around the rice is thick and silky.
If too thick, loosen with a little
more stock, or if too runny cook
out for a little longer. You may or
may not need all the stock.
Adjust the seasoning and
finish by adding half the grated
parmesan and stir to combine.
To make the fennel and olive
dressing, chop the fennel fronds
and add to the olives and zest of
one lemon.
Stir together, add the olive
oil and enough lemon juice to
balance the dressing.
To serve the risotto, spoon
on to your plate, sprinkle over
a little more grated parmesan.
Spoon over a little fennel and
olive dressing.
Save your ripe bananas
to make this sweet after
dinner treat
Banana loaf
Ingredients
140g butter, softened, plus extra
for the tin
140g caster sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
140g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 ripe bananas, mashed
50g icing sugar
Handful dried banana chips, for
decoration
Directions
Heat oven to 180 deg C.
Butter a 900g loaf tin and line
the base and sides with baking
parchment.
Cream 140g softened butter
and 140g caster sugar until light
and fluffy, then slowly add two
beaten large eggs with a little of
the 140g flour.
Fold in the remaining flour,
one tsp baking powder and two
mashed bananas.
Pour into the tin and bake
for about 30min until a skewer
comes out clean.
Cool in the tin for
10min, then remove to a wire
rack.
Mix 50g icing sugar with twothree
tsp water to make a runny
icing.
Drizzle the icing across the top
of the cake and decorate with a
handful of banana chips.
