Burglars strike pensioner again 

82-year-old’s 

house hit 

three times 

• By Matt Slaughter 

COLIN IS 82 and lives in 

Somerfield. 

He doesn’t ask for much but 

today all he wants is for the 

burglars who keep breaking into 

his house to just leave him alone. 

His home has been broken into 

twice in the past month and three 

times since 2014. 

Colin was on holiday in 

Australia when the two recent 

burglaries happened. 

His TV, his brother’s motor 

scooter and some of his late wife’s 

perfume were stolen. 

In 2014, the burglar took his 

wife’s jewellery. 

“It’s a violation of your space, 

isn’t it? You don’t like people 

rifling through your stuff and it 

doesn’t give you a very good security 

feeling,” said Colin, who does 

not want his surname published. 

“I’m putting in an alarm now. 

Since I’ve lived here [2006], it’s the 

third time I’ve been robbed.” 

The second break-in happened 

early last month, just after he had 

left for Australia. 

A neighbour reported it to the 

police.

Focus on 

well-being 

in city’s south 


A NEW PLAN is being 

developed to look after elderly 

residents in south Christchurch. 

A committee has been 

working on the Age-Friendly 

Spreydon-Cashmere Action 

Plan for more 

than a year. 

Member Helene 

Mautner said the 

plan will go to 

the Spreydon- 

Cashmere 

Community 

Helene

Board for sign-off 

once it is finished. 

“We want to 

make sure that older residents 

are connected and that they 

feel safe and they have healthy 

homes because a lot of them 

are very isolated. We wanted to 

reach out to people and look into 

things that would have a very 

direct and immediate impact on 

people’s lives,” said Dr Maunter. 

If approved, the plan 

will focus on improving

outdoor spaces, buildings, 

transportation, housing, social 

participation, civic participation, 

employment, respect and social 

inclusion, communication, 

information and health services. 

Dr Mautner said the plan will 

be an age-friendly initiative 

aimed at promoting the wellbeing 

of older people throughout 

Spreydon and Cashmere wards. 

She said the area has one 

of the highest populations of 

elderly residents in the city and 

the plan will aim to cater for this 

group. 

“It was because the 

demographics when you look 

at them for the city, we have 

one of the oldest 

populations in 

the city, but it’s 

also I think the 

fact that it’s the 

right thing to do.” 

Dr Mautner 

said the 

World Health 

Organisation 

guidelines for 

Peter 

Tuffley 

ageing cities have influenced the 

plan. 

Committee members have 

addressed the community board 

with the final introductory 

paper for the plan. 

Dr Mautner said discussions 

about the plan will continue 

with the newly-elected 

board. She hopes it will be 

finished and made official as 

soon as possible. 

Committee member Peter 

Tuffley hopes the plan will 

“promote changes that would 

make life easier for the elderly in 

Spreydon-Cashmere.” 

PARK REPAIRS 

Work is under way to upgrade 

Woolston Park. The city 

council is improving the 

drainage network which 

services the park and some 

surrounding properties. 

Contractors will also renew the 

sports field irrigation, cricket 

wicket block and re-level the 

playing surface. Significant 

drainage issues have previoulsy 

affected the ability to use 

park’s playing surface over 

winter. The work is expected to 

be finished by April. 

LEAKING WATER PIPES 

The city council is working 

to repair leaking water pipes 

in Spreydon and Cashmere 

after a spike in the number of 

leaks reported. The Spreydon- 

Cashmere Community Board 

has previously raised the leaks 

as a concern.

Calls for more investment in 

An Addington community 

leader says the area is not 

getting enough attention 

from the city council 

compared to the central 

city. Matt Slaughter took to 

the streets to find out what 

others think 

MANUKA COTTAGE manager 

Cherylan Davies thinks the city 

council should be investing more 

in Addington and paying greater 

attention to what residents want. 

Mrs Davies and other residents 

she has spoken to are concerned 

with “the 

amount of 

money that’s 

being spent 

in the central 

city.” 

She said it is 

“understandable 

to a point” 

Cherylan 

Davies 

– but it is 

coming “at the 

cost of the little 

suburbs.” 

“There’s nothing for youth in 

Addington. There’s no basketball 

court, there’s no skateboard 

park, and because we are in such 

close proximity to the central 

city, council would say, well, 

you could walk to Washington 

Way skate park. There’s not a 

lot of things for youth and for 

children to do and this is just 

parents and kids saying it when 

you’re talking to them,” said Mrs 

Davies. 

On the streets of Addington, 

business owners and residents 

approached by Southern View 

were split on whether the area 

needs more investment. 

Said Lincoln Rd’s Pramukh 

Convenience Store manager 

Bipin Parmar: “Most of the 

proportion of the money goes to 

the central city and not looking

after businesses.” 

Mr Parmar said the area 

needs the city council to invest 

in “something 

to make 

Addington 

more attractive” 

and “make it 

safe for the 

people.”

it also needs some “kids fun 

or something because there’s 

nothing much to do for kids.” 

The Miller Bar & Cafe owner 

Michelle Cattell said the suburb 

has been neglected. 

“I think they [city council] are 

just too busy focusing on the 

central city.” 

She said the city council’s plan 

to build new bus lanes, which 

will operate at peak times on 

Lincoln Rd and reduce the speed 

limit to 30km/h for a 900m 

stretch, will do more harm than 

good. 

“The 30km/h zone and the bus 

lanes – that’s going to ruin the 

dairies. 

“This redevelopment is not 

going to benefit Addington. 

They’re looking at Addington 

but they’re doing it for the wrong 

reasons,” she said. 

Ms Cattell feels there is a 

“double standard” when it comes 

to the regulations imposed on 

Addington bars, compared to 

those in the central city. 

“We went into town and some 

of the people trying to get in 

could hardly walk. 

“It’s like there’s a double 

standard from the outer bars 

compared to the inner-city 

bars.” 

However, Addington 

resident Matt Kamstra is 

pleased the council’s priority is 

the central city and says enough 

attention is being given to 

Addington.

“On the balance of things,

Lincoln Rd Salvation Army

Walker said: “The city’s getting

“We need a vibrant inner city.”

“Post-earthquake,

council operational and capital

“The community board has

this was a result of listening 

to the opinions and concerns

Talent at Lady Wigram 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

LADY WIGRAM Retirement 

Village residents got behind their 

team as part of a in-house talent 

show. 

Lady Wigram’s Got Talent was 

organised by residents John and 

Linda Tucker. 

About 15 people performed 

as part of the evening, which 

included a group of residents 

known as The Wigram Squad, 

who acted out rugby moves 

to the Crusaders theme song 

Conquest of Paradise. 

Mrs Tucker said the 

performance had “hilarious” 

scrums, a try and even a couple 

of “magnificent” kicks which 

sent the ball straight into their 

theatre production manager 

Judith McCleary’s hands in the 

audience. 

“They had been rehearsing for 

weeks. They acted their part very

seriously, which made it even 

funnier and it was all in slow 

motion,” she said. 

Performances included owner 

John Tooby playing the piano 

with his daughter Olivia on the 

saxophone. 

Mr Tooby also played a duet 

with resident John Tucker called 

Duelling Pianos. 

The Wigram Squad won the 

talent quest, while Annette 

Quinn was second with her 

rendition of Memory from 

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats. 

“We also had two unexpected 

star of the show spots where 

we plucked people out of the 

audience to sing a song we had 

chosen for them,” Mrs Tucker 

said. 

The audience were given 

words and silly headgear for the 

songs. “That was a lot of fun, they 

did well,” she said.

Views sought 

on Woolston 

playground plan 

• By Jess Gibson 

A HISTORIC Woolston 

playground is getting a refresh. 

The city council is seeking feedback 

on a proposal for the Radley 

Park playground until November 

6. It was built at the park on 

Woolston Cres in the mid-1980s. 

The area used to be part of 

Troutdale Farm, where Andrew 

Mensal Johnson bred the first 

brown trout in New Zealand. 

The farm was a popular picnic 

area until it closed in the early 

1930s and a number of the original 

trees remain at the park. 

There is a plaque beside the 

Heathcote River commemorating 

Mr Johnson. The city council is 

proposing to put in new swings, a 

slide, carousel, see-saw and fishrocker. 

Once the consultation period 

has closed, the project team will 

analyse the feedback and prepare 

a report and recommendation for 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board. 

A decision from the board is 

expected in April and, if the plan 

is approved, construction is likely 

to start in May or June.

Cancer scare got Lorelei painting 

• By Claire Booker 

WHEN LORELEI Burdett 

was waiting for the results 

of a biopsy after a routine 

mammogram, the possibility 

of having breast cancer sent her 

into emotional turmoil. 

So she channelled her feelings 

into creating art for a calendar 

to raise money for the Breast 

Cancer Foundation NZ. 

“When I was waiting for my 

results, I thought I can’t be sick, 

I’m about to have a grandchild,” 

Ms Burdett said. “So I decided I 

would just paint and help people 

get to know how I was feeling.” 

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 onto 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. 

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. 

‘This is not perfect, I’m 

not perfect, but this is 

through my eyes’ 

– Lorelei Burdett 

After Peter died, she dedicated 

a calendar to him and painted

Ms Burdett said her art may 

not be perfect, but that is part of 

its beauty. 

“This is not perfect, I’m not 

perfect, but this is through my 

eyes, and that’s how I like it,” she 

said.

Historic homestead gets award 

THE RESTORATION of 

Risingholme Homestead in 

Opawa and the new Woolston 

Community Library have been 

recognised at the Christchurch 

Civic Trust awards. 

Two other major city council 

projects – Tūranga the and the 

Nurses’ Memorial Chapel have 

also been recognised. 

Along with praising the work 

on Risingholme, the trust has 

acknowledged the quality of the 

chapel repairs and the design 

and reinstatement of the community 

library. 

City council capital delivery 

community manager Darren 

Moses said the public recognition 

of several of the city’s 

rebuild and restoration projects 

reinforces their importance to 

Christchurch. 

“These awards further recognise 

the council’s commitment 

to a city that weaves the old with 

the new, restoring special places 

and delivering innovative new 

spaces,” he said. 

“The 155-year-old Risingholme 

Homestead reopened in 

June after suffering damage in 

an arson attack in 2016, just as 

the Council was preparing for 

earthquake-related repairs. 

“The council-led repair and 

restoration project has saved 

Risingholme, fully returning the 

historic homestead to its former 

glory and strengthening the 

building.” 

The Nurses’ Memorial Chapel 

is the only chapel in the world 

to honour nurses killed during 

20th century wars reopened last 

year after complex restoration 

work while the 1871 library was 

lost during the 2010-11 earthquakes. 

The “design and functionality” 

of Tūranga, along with the city 

council’s role in the reinstatement 

of a major facility in the 

city, have been recognised, while

“It was wonderful to see the realisation

•From page 1 

A man has been charged in 

connection with the break-in and 

is before the courts. 

The motor scooter has been 

recovered, but none of the other 

stolen items have been found. 

Police said south Christchurch 

is an area targeted by burglars, but 

there has been no recent spike in 

break-ins in the Somerfield area. 

Colin said the builder who 

repaired his window, which was 

damaged when the burglar broke 

in, said there has been other burglaries 

in the area. 

“He’s done about three (repair 

jobs) down around Cashmere Rd, 

just that particular building firm. 

It was the same type of break-in 

and entry and everything.” 

Meanwhile, police are warning 

residents to be wary of people 

knocking on their front door, 

distracting them with a reason 

to leave their homes and then 

entering the house to steal items. 

The warning comes after two 

incidents in Opawa and St Martins. 

When the residents returned 

they found items stolen and the 

offender gone. Police said it is too 

early to say if the incidents are 

connected.

Journeys of the Heart 

19 October – 19 November 2019 

19 October - 19 November 2019 

Two years since Clare’s last Little River gallery show, 

and much has changed in her life; she has moved south 

to Blueskin Bay and fashioned a new existence after the 

death of her life partner and fellow artist, Max Podstolski. 

Last September Clare travelled to Spain to walk part of 

the Camino, raising money for Leukaemia and Blood 

Cancer New Zealand, as a way of giving something to 

help others coping with a terminally ill loved one and a 

way of self-healing. 

It was an Main outward Rd, and Little inward River journey | 03 325 for Clare. 1944This time 

and distance away 

art@littlerivergallery.com 

allowed her to explore whether she 

could find a sense of joy again in her work and her life, 

and she was able to choose to keep on painting. The 

resilience of the human spirit to endure parting and grief, 

for Clare, came from the power and beauty of the natural 

environment around her. 

These works explore Clare’s journey back into painting 

and finding a sense of renewal and a path forward that is 

not merely surviving but thriving. 

The Last Plum Gone Sing Me the Path Forward 

“Uplift my singing heart, 

as once it was torn asunder. 

The wound, now papered over, is not forgotten, 

but pulsing with a tenderness for a further chance of life. 

With every beat it grows a little stronger, a little lighter. 

The cycle of returning to old places, empty now without you, 

gives me a knowing that each movement forward, 

when facing the storm of solitude, 

is a healing. 

The call of the light reveals an illuminating path. 

Not merely to survive but truly thrive. 

Now dance me into a fresh dawn 

of hope and possibilities on 

these Journeys of the Heart. 

I’m over the moon to be alive.”

Where have all the cats gone 


CAT-LOVING Somerfield 

residents are concerned about 

the number of furry friends 

going missing. 

Cat owner Philip Sheehan said 

several of his neighbours posted 

on the Somerfield Residents 

Association Facebook page to 

say their cats had gone missing 

recently. 

He says he 

has seen about 

20 missing cat 

reports on the 

page over the 

last six months. 

Mr Sheehan 

said one resident 

Philip 

Sheehan 

had found some 

cats in a bag on 

the banks of the 

Heathcote River, 

and luckily they were still alive. 

Said Mr Sheehan: “A story like 

that worries people with cats 

and animals as well.” 

Mr Sheehan admits it is 

normal for cats to go missing, 

but the number in Somerfield 

recently has some wondering if 

it is more than a coincidence. 

“Cats go missing, but when 

there seems to be three or four 

in a two-week period, and 

people say now my cat’s missing 

and now my cat’s gone, it’s a 

bit odd and it seems to come 

in waves of maybe every six 

months or something.” 

WORRYING: Somerfield resident Philip Sheehan is concerned 

with the number of cats going missing in the area and doesn’t 

want his cat George to be next. 

Mr Sheehan is one of the 

lucky ones – his cat George (also 

known as Fluffy Cat) has never 

gone missing. But he is still 

worried about the well-being of 

cats in the neighbourhood and 

the owners they leave behind. 

“They’re part of the family, 

aren’t they. I would hate that if I 

knew my cat had died in pain or 

was scared, that would make me 

incredibly angry.” 

Said SPCA communications 

manager Jessie Gilchrist: “SPCA 

doesn’t keep a national register 

of all lost animals as such. 

However, we work closely with 

www.lostpet.co.nz, which is run 

by the New Zealand Companion 

Animal Council.”

Webley eyes Rams, 

college scholarship 

• By Jacob Page 

CASHMERE HIGH School 

basketballer Tom Webley is 

eager to push his claims at the 

Canterbury Rams while looking 

for college scholarship offers for 

next year. 

The 18-year-old will look at life 

after secondary secondary school 

and that will include being a 

wider squad member with the 

Canterbury NBL franchise while 

also taking his time looking for 

opportunities in America. 

He was a major contributor to 

Cashmere earning fourth at the 

event at Palmerston North - their 

best ever finish, a fortnight ago as 

he ended his four-year stint with 

the school’s senior team. 

The centre averaged more 

than 30 points a game and was a 

major force in the paint. 

He also scored 51 points in the 

quarter-final against Tauranga 

Boys’ College where he added 17 

rebounds and seven assists which 

helped him make the tournament 

team. 

Webley said he was hopeful 

of training with the Rams and 

pursuing an American college 

scholarship for the middle of 

next year. 

He said it was satisfying to end 

his high school playing days on 

a high. 

“We all knew what we wanted 

to achieve and for me especially, I 

really wanted to prove that there 

is talent here in the South Island. 

“Things went really well for me 

and the guys kept getting me the 

ball and I got in there and was 

happy to show my physicality. 

“Once we stopped having more 

turnovers, we clicked and I don’t 

think we wanted it to end.” 

Cashmere coach Paul Conner 

said the team always felt they were 

good enough to make the final 

four at the nationals and had nothing 

but praise for his big centre. 

“Tom is an amazing talent,” he 

said. 

“He’s the kind of guy I’ve never 

had to talk to to get him in the zone. 

“Every game he plays, he gives 

it everything he has and guys like 

that are so important. 

The team loses nine year 13 

players this year and Conner 

said while there are some very 

talented players coming through 

there will be a “rebuild element 

to the senior team next year. 

“It’s like a drug in the sense

North which saw him named in the tournament team.

that one tournament ends and 

you’re immediately thinking 

about next year and the younger 

guys that are coming through. 

“I may look to step into 

another role for a year and 

mentor younger coaches but 

that’s if I can find the right 

person to coach the team.” 

WINNER: Woolston boxer Hamuera Tainui won his second 

national title at Hastings.

Woolston boxers 

earn medals at 

nationals 

• By Jacob Page 

WOOLSTON BOXING Club 

coach Holly Sullivan is on 

the hunt for international 

opportunities for her twotime 

New Zealand champion, 

Hamuera Tainui. 

The 14-year-old won back-toback 

national titles at Hastings in 

the junior under-63kg class. 

“He’s a bit of a golden boy, he 

fought very well and deserved it,” 

Sullivan said. 

“He’s still young for a junior so 

it would be great to get him some 

more opportunities, particularly 

internationally. 

“That’s what I’m doing now, 

just see what opportunities may 

be out there just so he gets used 

to travelling and competing in a 

new environment.” 

Sullivan said while trips to 

Australia for junior camps 

were always beneficial, she said 

competitions further away like 

Ireland were in her sights. 

“It’s important to try to keep 

these guys in the sport and show 

others coming through what is 

possible. 

Hamuera’s gold medal was a 

highlight, but the Woolston team 

also managed three silver medals 

and a bronze. 

Trevor Swainson was second in 

the under-81kg elite class but received 

the best runner-up award 

at the tournament. 

“I thought Trev fought really 

well, he had three fights and 

earned that silver medal,” Sullivan 

said. 

Byron Antal also won silver in 

the junior 80kg plus category, 

“I think nerves got the better of 

Byron but he has the skills he just 

needs more fights,” she said. 

Ryley Sutherland was runnerup 

in the under-50kg cadet class. 

“He fought well but didn’t land 

the big, flashy blows probably he 

needed to win the fight,” Sullivan 

said. 

Tegan Burdett-Clark earned a 

bronze medal in the under-57kg 

elite class. 

Sullivan said it was a good 

return for the club at a pinnacle 

event of the year, but the hard 

work continues into the new year.

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.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

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.
