Safety
upgrade
for busy
railway
crossing
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PEDESTRIAN GATES will
be placed at the Carmen Rd in
Hornby railway crossing in a
bid to make it safer for school
children.
The safety improvement
has been welcomed by the
community. A New Zealand
Transport Agency spokeswoman
said it will be a “big
boost” for safety.
The work is part
of a $26 million
nationwide project,
commissioned
by NZTA and
KiwiRail, to
deliver safety
improvements
at level crossings across New
Zealand.
Robin
Sutton
Hornby High School principal
Robin Sutton said anything to
make the crossing safer is a good
step.
“I do think railway lines
in general and teenagers are
often not a good combination,”
he said.

Religious groups to have their say
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
RELIGIOUS GROUPS across
the city will be consulted over
the plan to transform land in
Templeton into a large cemetery.
City council staff will meet
with more than 40 groups later
this month to gauge views on
the proposed development,
which would provide for the
city’s burial needs over the next
60 years.
It is planning to turn about
two-thirds of the 100ha site it
owns at 173 Maddisons Rd into
a cemetery, while the rest would
be developed as a sports park.
Estimates show the city has
about 10 years
left before its
cemeteries are at
full capacity.
A city council
spokesman said
the reason for
the consultation
Jolene
Eagar
is to understand
the groups’
burial-related
needs and find out what features
they want in the cemetery
before the design work starts.
The city council aims to
obtain early pre-design feedback
from key stakeholders, with
a draft development plan
expected to go out for formal
consultation by September.
The city council is also
currently negotiating with
adjacent landowners on
purchasing additional land
to enable more space for the
cemetery.
The spokesman said the
feedback on the plan has
generally been positive but
people are keen to get more
details.

cemetery.

Association treasurer Jolene
Eagar hasn’t heard any negative
feedback on the cemetery.
“It is not right next to us, it is a
bit removed. It is not bordering
any of the Templeton residents.”
She said it would be different
if the cemetery was increased
in size to such an extent that it
comes up to residents’ property
boundaries.
The city council is also engaging
with Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri
Rūnanga and Te Taumutu
Rūnanga. It also plans to have
initial discussions with funeral
directors, groups representing
lost babies and infants, green
and natural burial groups and
the RSA.
A meeting was scheduled
to be held yesterday with
Templeton residents over the
plan.
In Brief
FAMILY FUN DAY
The Greater Hornby Residents’
Association will hold its second

breakfast and dinner every day,
plus lunch on the weekends. The
hosts will be paid. The students
will be based at Canterbury
University.

Painter produces
artwork to raise
cash for charity
•From page 1
The results came back clear,
much to Ms Burdett’s relief,
but she continued painting
and compiling artwork for the
calendar.
She developed a passion
for art when she was at high
school in Whakatane, and says
painting is not
hard for her –
she just lets her
feelings flow on
to the canvas.
Ms Burdett’s
feature piece for
the calendar La
Femme portrays femininity and
hope.
“It had to be beautiful and
feminine,” she said.
Family is an important part
of Ms Burdett’s life and the
inspiration behind her art,
which is mostly done using oil
paint.
“Every painting has a story,
people may not get it, but
they just have to use their
imagination,” she said.
‘This is not perfect, I’m
not perfect, but this is
through my eyes’
– Lorelei Burdett
Each painting generally takes
Ms Burdett about two days to
complete, depending on how
“hyped-up” she is about it.
Many of the pieces in the
calendar are colourful and
dedicated to members of her
family, including her late
husband Peter, who died in 2009
from pancreatic
cancer.
After Peter
died, she
dedicated a
calendar to him
and painted
another one for
the CD Kids Hospital Appeal in
2017.
Ms Burdett said her art may
not be perfect, but that is part of
the beauty of it.
“This is not perfect, I’m not
perfect, but this is through my
eyes, and that’s how I like it,” she
said.

Crossing to get safety gates
•From page 1
Mr Sutton said while the
crossing is a safety issue for
everyone, teenagers don’t
understand a train can’t
stop as quickly as a
vehicle and they often
listen to music while
walking to the school.
This makes the crossing
even more dangerous
for them.
Hornby resident Mark
Peters expressed the
same view. He said the
improvements are a “huge step
forward” as young people often
Mark
Peters
have their headphones in when
using the crossing.
He said having a barrier in
place to make young people
aware of the crossing
is a good idea.
“You get a fair bit
of pedestrian traffic
through the crossing.
When trains go
through there they
do tend to be doing a
fair rate of knots,” Mr
Peters said.
Hornby Primary
School principal Gary Roberts
and resident Marc Duff also
endorsed the initiative.
“Anything that is an
improvement for the children
has got to be good for the
community,” Mr Duff
said.
Mr Roberts said the
pedestrian gates are a
“marvellous move” as
Carmen Rd and the
railway crossing are very
busy. But he wasn’t sure
whether children from
Hornby Primary will be
affected by the changes
as he does not know how many
pupils use the crossing.

Pool to stay open longer
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
TEMPLETON RESIDENTS
calling for their swimming pool
to be open for longer over the
summer season will have their
wish granted.
But they will have to fork out
$80 for a membership if they
want to use the pool.
The city council has established
a new system where memberships
to use the swimming
pool can be purchased for $80
per household.
An exception to the rule is
casual users will be allowed to
use the facility as long as they are
with a member.
This year the swimming pool
will be open for 19 weeks - a
large increase compared to previous
years where it was only open
for 11 weeks over the summer.
The pool will now be open
from November 16 to March 29
- allowing the pool to be utilised
by Templeton School in the first
term.
City council’s head of recreation,
sports and events Nigel Cox
said while the pools hours will
be increased, there will be no additional
costs.
It costs $36,000 per year to run
the pool.
The changes come after the city
council received feedback calling
for longer swimming pool hours
in Templeton.
The Norman Kirk Memorial
Pool in Lyttelton, Sumner Community
Pool, Belfast Pool and
Port Levy have a similar system
with memberships ranging from
$60-$150.
Templeton Residents’ Association
treasurer Jolene Eagar said it
has not been discussed with the
community and she is not sure
where people will stand on the
issue.
Earlier this year the TRA was
approached by the city council
to ask if they were interested
in helping manage the pool to
increase hours - but Mrs Eagar
said it has not heard from the
city council since then.
Due to the new system, the
pool will solely be run by the city
council.
Mrs Eagar said she would have
preferred the city council to ask
people how they felt about the
membership system rather than
going ahead with it.
“We don’t want to see disappointed
kids walking away from
the pool because they don’t have
a card or they are not with someone
with a card,” she said.
But resident Mel Himin,
who has a 4-year-old child and
6 month-old baby, said if the
membership system is a way the
pool can be kept open for longer
LONGER HOURS: The
Templeton swimming pool
will be open for longer this
summer.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
then it is a good option.
Comments on the Templeton
(N.Z) Community & Residents
page was generally supportive
of the initiative with many
residents pleased the pool will be
open for longer.
But concerns were raised over
the lack of lifeguards at the pool.
Lifeguards will only be at the
pool from 7am-9am daily to run
30 minute safety inductions for
all key holders, sell memberships
and carry out necessary cleaning
and maintenance.
Keys for Templeton Pool
can be purchased for $80 from
November 16 until February 7
from the pool site at Kirk Rd,
between 7am and 9am.
Gang members
in alleged
home invasion
over cellphone
• By Sophie Cornish
THE SALE OF a second-hand
cellphone resulted in a home
invasion involving a gun and
baseball bat.
Police allege two patched
Bandidos gang members
bashed down the door of a house
on Curletts Rd, Sockburn, and
assaulted a man.
Two brothers, Rawiri Takuira
Kiri, 26, of Waltham, and Lee
Teomaori Kiri, 30, of Aranui,
have been charged over the
alleged incident, which is
understood to be a dispute over a
cellphone which was sold but did
not work properly.
They appeared in the district
court on Monday, facing joint
charges of possessing a firearm
and armed robbery with a
baseball bat.
Police allege they stole $15
from the male victim, who was
assaulted during the incident.
More charges are likely.
They were remanded in custody
until December, when they are
next due to appear in court.
It is understood the male
victim’s parents and two children
were at home at the time of the
attack.

QUICK, CLEAR and succinct.
These were just a few tips
Sockburn’s Eloise Smith, a
Canterbury University doctoral
student, needed to keep in
mind at the Asia-Pacific 3MT
Competition in Brisbane.
The ‘three minute thesis’,
or 3MT, was an annual
competition in which postgraduate
students explained
their thesis in 3min with just
one presentation slide.
A university-level thesis can
be up to 80,000 words. There
were 56 finalists from Australia,
New Zealand, Oceania and
Asia in the competition.
A Canterbury University
spokeswoman said it was proud
of how Miss Smith represented
her research and the university.
In late July, she won the
College of Science round of the
UC 3MT competition.
In her presentation Weak
or What?, Miss Smith covered
her research into swallowing
disorders.
Swallowing disorders have
the ability to impact a person’s
ability to eat and drink safely
and can occur as a result of
a stroke, brain injury and
cerebral palsy.
Miss Smith’s research looks
to identify new ways to assess
swallowing disorders with a
focus on measuring muscle
activity.
Catchpole signs off after
60 years with Hornby
• By Jacob Page
JOHN CATCHPOLE took a lastminute
ticket to the Canterbury
Rugby Awards night last week
and ended up being named
volunteer of the year.
“My son offered me a ticket
because he said his wife couldn’t
go and I thought it would be a
good night then all of a sudden I
hear my name being called.”
The outgoing Hornby Rugby
Club president said it was quite a
surprise.
“It was an amazing feeling,
totally overwhelming.”
Mr Catchpole, who was born
and raised in Hornby, first joined
the club in 1959 as an under-5
player.
A talented first-five eighth, he
moved through the ranks at the
club and made his senior debut
the year Hornby was promoted
to the top-flight of Christchurch
rugby in 1975.
He played senior rugby until
1983 before a fourth grade A side
which went unbeaten for five
seasons and a total of 83 games.
He was still playing into his
40s but joined the committee as
club captain in 1998 and became
president in 2005, a position he
held until the end of this winter.

“The timing was right, it’s been

from work at the end of the year
so it just felt right.
“Hornby has always been home
for me, we moved out of the area
five years ago and went to Prebbleton
but I still work in Hornby.
“My favourite saying is that
we give people a chance to get
involved and participate.
“The club has been a big part

friends, people I see regularly for
a drink on a Friday night.”
Mr Catchpole, who was made

sidelines.
“The great thing is that I’ll be
able to go and watch any games

Plan to stop number plate
theft fails to gain traction
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A BOLD plan to stop vehicle
licence plate thefts may have
come unstuck.
The Hornby Community
Patrol is set to ask businesses to
fit number plates with anti-theft
screws to their fleet vehicles.
It aims to stop people stealing
licence plates, fitting them to
other vehicles, and carrying out
crimes to avoid being identified.
Car sales yards in Hornby
will also be asked to take part.
The anti-theft screws cost $5 to
install.
But car dealers and other
businesses contacted by Western
News were not enthusiastic
about the idea. Avon City Ford
chief executive John Luxton
said it has never had issues with
number plate thefts.

“In the 18 years I have been

Grant Campbell said he would
consider the initiative but
did not believe it would stop

removing the bolts.

Scrum of talent at Lady Wigram

Mrs Tucker said the

Judith McCleary’s hands in the
audience.
“They had been rehearsing for

Performances included owner

saxophone.

RICCARTON KNIGHTS prop
Delane Luke’s return to rugby
league has seen him selected for
the New Zealand Universities
tour of Fiji this week.
The team will play against two
Fiji Universities teams and an
Australian Universities team –
and the prop is eager to prove
himself.
“I only got back into rugby
league this year, and if you’d
told me at the start that I’d
get the chance to represent
my country at the end of it, I
wouldn’t have believed you,” the
22-year-old said.
“I’m very honoured to have
this chance.”
Luke is completing a Bachelor
of Arts, majoring in te reo
Maori and indigenous studies at
Canterbury University.
He played junior league for
Halswell before a European
rugby trip with the St Thomas’
under-16s enticed him to switch
codes.
He tried his hand in the
midfield and at loose-forward
before being converted into a
prop.
However, with several friends
playing league at Riccarton, he
decided this year was the right
time to get back into it.
“I started off in the Bs and

played two games there but
played premier for the rest of the
season and loved it.
“I was nervous initially
but not having to push in the
scrums or worry about lineouts
was good and meant I could just
focus on carrying the ball and
my defence.”
The New Zealand Universities
coaching staff watched one
of Luke’s club games without
telling him they would be there,
and he found out after the game
he had made the team.
“It’s an exciting opportunity
and I can’t wait to make the
most of it.”
Daniel hits the books after
bringing home third NZ title
• By Jacob Page
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High
boxer Daniel Meehan is happy
to juggle his boxing dream with
studying for his NCEA level one
exams.
Fresh from winning his third
consecutive national amateur
boxing title, the 16-year-old
was hitting the books last week
rather than the punching bag.
Daniel, who trains at Papanui’s
Smiling Tigers Boxing Gym,
won the junior under-60kg New
Zealand title at the tournament
in Hastings and was also named
most scientific junior boxer.
“It felt good to win another
national title,” he said.
“I didn’t know much about my
two opponents, so I just tried to
control what I could control.
“I just wanted to control the
ring (with foot movement) and
use my jab to keep scoring. Be as
scientific as possible.”
He is following in the footsteps
of his father, Danny, who had
more than 120 fights when he
was based in Manawatu.
Daniel has been training for
the past six years under Smiling
Tigers coach Mark Fuller.
He initially started hitting
pads with his dad in the garage
and progressed from there.
He has big goals. “I’d like to
compete at the Commonwealth
Games in 2022,” he said.
HARD-HITTING:
Daniel Meehan
has added a third
New Zealand title
to his growing list

ASSOCIATION
“I’ll be 19 by then so that’s
what I’ve set my sights on.”
Daniel trains five times a week
and will not ease up even with
exams looming.
Fuller, who was also one of
the Canterbury coaches at the
tournament, said Daniel has a
bright future. “He has a great
work ethic, and, yes, he has
the genes that help him but he
is extremely dedicated,” Fuller
said.
“He’s a smart boxer in there
and knows what he is about. I
don’t think the Commonwealth
Games is too big of a goal for
him if he keeps on this path.”

EXPANSION: The opening of Briscoes Homewares at Bush Inn leads the way for even more
exciting improvements at the shopping centre.
IMPROVEMENTS: The three-year expansion of the Bush Inn
Shopping Centre is nearing completion.
riscoes opens at Bush Inn
SUBSTANTIAL developments
happening at Bush Inn Shopping
Centre gathered pace last week
with the opening of Briscoes
Homewares on Thursday.
“Three years’ work has resulted
in a stunning new building,”
said Andy Bell property and
development manager for owner
Ganson Group Ltd.
“We are delighted to welcome
Briscoes to Bush Inn and it
demonstrates what we are doing
here, investing and creating a
whole new shopping environment
at the centre is working”
In addition to Briscoes, The
Provedore – a new grocery and
provisions complex will open at
Bush Inn in about December this
year.
This comprises a selection of
speciality food retailers in all
areas of grocery and provisions
including a metro style supermarket,
fine wines and spirits outlet,
European butcher and deli, seafood
outlet, bulk food outlet with
around 18 retailers in total.
“Make no mistake this is not
boutique or high-end,” said Mr
Bell.
“We have taken the initiative in
replacing our supermarket with a
hard working, highly competitive
grocery shopping offering – you
will be able to get everything that
the supermarket provides and a
whole lot more – better quality
and better priced, every day of the
week”
The Provedore is presented in
an open plan style with plenty of
natural light, cobbled walkways
between outlets, and is intended
to provide a unique alternative to
supermarket shopping.
“The Provedore is well leased
but now that retailers can see it,
they are really getting what we are
trying to achieve,” says assistant
manager Rees Hunt.
“We still have some opportunities
and anyone interested should
contact me fairly quickly.”

How to get a great tattoo
A great tattoo makes life better.
Whether you’re getting tattooed to
celebrate one of life’s milestones, to share
an experience with your best mate or to
simply wear a beautiful work of art that’s
yours forever, you want a tattoo you can
wear with pride.
You want a tattoo that makes you happy.
With such an important decision, you
need to trust your skin to the right artist.
But how do you know?
Start with the studio. You want
an environment that makes you feel
comfortable. Inside the bright orange
building on Greers Road, Jolly Octopus
Tattoos is a warm and comfortable place,
with lots of natural light and
warm wood. They’re a kind and
friendly bunch who are happy to
see you.
The best way to get a feel for
a studio environment is to drop
by and have a look. See what you
think. Another way is to check out
online reviews – see what other
people have to say about their
experiences.
Next, think about style. You want
your body art to look a certain
way: traditional style or realism,
Ta Moko, black and grey, Mandala,
watercolour, anime – the only limits are
your imagination.
The Jolly Octopus has eight great artists
to choose from. That way, no matter what
style of tattoo you’re after, they can make
sure you’ll work with an artist who will
knock it out of the park.
Finally, the last important step to getting
a great tattoo is trust.
You’ve found a studio that feels
welcoming and comfortable. You’ve got an
artist who does beautiful work in the style
you want. Now, and sometimes this can be
the hardest part, you’ve got to trust your
artist.
Communication is key. The artists at
The Jolly Octopus want you to get the best
tattoo of your life. Be honest and open
with them – you’re in good hands. To
make sure you get just what you’re after,
your artist will even sit down with you for
a free consult so you can plan your perfect
tattoo together.
A great tattoo is both a great piece of art
and a great memory. The Jolly Octopus
will give you both.

Tasty Bites
Moving veges to centre stage
No longer the side dishes, the back-up dancers or the understudies, vegetables
have earned their place front and centre on the plate as this pizza shows
Broccoli margherita pizzas
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 x quantity broccoli dough (see
following basic recipe)
⅔ cup (50g) finely grated
parmesan
300g cherry tomatoes, torn in
half and squeezed to remove the
seeds
¼ cup (4g) oregano leaves
Extra virgin olive oil, for
drizzling
2 x 125g fresh mozzarella balls,
torn
Basil leaves, to serve
Finely grated parmesan, plus
extra to serve (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 200 deg C.
Line 2cm x 30cm round oven
trays with non-stick baking
paper.
Divide the dough in half and
press on to each tray to make
2cm x 28cm round pizza bases.
Bake for 20min or until firm and
slightly golden.
Sprinkle the bases with
parmesan and top with the
tomatoes and oregano.
Drizzle with a little oil.
Return the pizzas to the oven
and bake for a further 20min or
until golden.
Top warm pizzas with the
mozzarella and sprinkle with
basil and extra parmesan to
serve.
Cook’s notes: You can add
your favourite toppings to this
pizza.
Just avoid anything that might
make the broccoli base turn soft
(such as tomato puree).
It’s best to stick to fresh
tomatoes with the seeds and
some of the juice squeezed out.
Try sprinkling over preroasted
pumpkin, eggplant
(aubergine) or zucchini
(courgette).
To have these pizza bases on
standby for busy days, bake
them for the first 20min, then
cool, wrap and freeze for later
use.
Broccoli dough
Ingredients
600g broccoli florets (about two
heads), roughly chopped (see
cooks notes)
¾ cup (90g) almond meal
(ground almonds)
½ cup (25g) finely grated
Parmesan
3 eggs
Sea salt and cracked black
pepper
Directions
In small batches, place
the broccoli in a food
processor and process until
finely chopped. Transfer to a
large bowl.
Add the almond meal,
parmesan, eggs, salt and pepper
to the broccoli and mix well to
combine.
Makes one quantity.
Cook’s notes: It’s best if you
don’t add too much of the
broccoli stem to this dough.
A floret with roughly 6-8cm of
stem is great.
Adding extra can make the
dough watery.
You can swap half, or all, of
the broccoli for cauliflower if
you prefer.
Again, just don’t use too much
of the stem.

Customers pleased with honest,
reliable vehicle servicing
Having your vehicle regularly serviced is
key to getting the best out of it in terms of
fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear
on expensive parts.
Kevin, who owns and operates Parker
Automotive in Birmingham Drive,
provides full vehicle servicing to keep your
vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs,
batteries and tyres.
He also carries out all mechanical repairs,
including cam belt replacement, suspension
work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only
repairing what’s necessary, and without
charging the earth.
He has owned the business since 2007,
and over that time has established a loyal
customer base – people that rely on him
to give them sound advice and provide
professional care and servicing for their
vehicles.
Customers come from across the city,
Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell
and Middleton areas, and the business has
received many positive Google reviews
from customers. Below are some examples:
I have been going to Parker Automotive
for the last eight years and I cannot fault the
service. The mechanical work has been top
notch! If you want top service and value for
money I recommend Parker Automotive. –
Daniel Jay
I’ve had all sorts of work done here from
basic servicing and warrants through to
major work like clutches, replacement
coilovers and bushings. Kevin is a very
honest guy who gets the job done in a very
timely manor and he has outstanding
communication. The overall service I’ve
received is excellent. – Lachlan Poole
I know it’s not always about price but
sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs,
you just want a perceived good deal and work
carried out by someone who seems to care.
Kevin came recommended by a friend, and
what a great recommendation. His work was
clean, efficient, fast and came in under what
I thought it was going to cost. So we took my
partner’s car there two days later and that
too was completed faster than we expected
and at an almost unbelievable cost.
Give Parker Automotive a shot next
time you need something done. Kevin
is a nice fella too, win win. – Mark
Lewis
Earlier this year, Parker Automotive
moved from premises on the Lincoln
and Torrens roads corner to a new site
at 23B Birmingham Drive, Middleton.
Opening hours are Monday to
Friday 7.30am-4pm, Saturday 8am-
12pm. So give Kevin a call on 982
4268, or pop in and he will be happy
to help with all your vehicle servicing
needs.

REAL ESTATE
Seascape delight
28B Ripon Street, Lyttelton
Enquiries over $645,000
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living room
open-plan kitchen/dining | 1 car garage
plus 1 carport - Listing no. 10099
Elegant and stylish. Built for maximum
sun with panoramic views over Lyttelton
Harbour and surrounding hills across to
Quail Island.
Stroll up the driveway, past single garage
and carport up a few steps across a deck
onto the first level. Here you find three
double bedrooms. The master with access
to decent size bathroom having the luxury
of shower, bath and double his-and-hers
sinks, plus a separate toilet. The laundry
is also located on this floor. Continue up
the central stairway onto the second level
landing. Turn left to the living, right to
kitchen or diagonal to access the rear of the
property.
The private landscaped courtyard provides
all day living, ideal for that morning cuppa
to evening BBQs. Take time to breath in the
fragrant Jasmine that adorns the trellis.
The light-filled open-plan kitchen/dining
area is the heart of the home. Here stunning
picture-perfect sea views from the fulllength
dining room window combine with
high ceilings making for that feeling of
spaciousness.
Flow continues through to the living area
where a balcony off this room provides
additional living or entertaining space.
Stairs continue through the centre of the
house to a cleverly designed mezzanine
floor. Again, be spoilt with superb views
from the dining room windows. Having its
own shower and toilet makes this a super
fourth double bedroom, but if you want
space, light, and a “special spot” in which
to work from home, then this is just the
space. This is one of those properties where
careful planning, quality and convenience
for modern day living will have you want
to live here.
Lyttelton has become a sought-after
dynamic Port community with much to
offer from the Saturday market, cafes,
restaurants, to great entertainment. A town
that can boast having a number of famous
artists. Come join this bubbling township.
