Marie Black<br />
Strong<br />
showing<br />
at polls<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Marie Black has become the first<br />
woman to hold the Hurunui<br />
District Council mayoralty with a<br />
convincing win at the polls.<br />
She won the mayoral contest by<br />
just over 2000 votes from her<br />
nearest rival, Julia McLean, after<br />
preliminary election results were<br />
announced this week.<br />
Mrs Black, who has been<br />
deputy mayor for six years of her<br />
nineyear council tenure, says<br />
she is ‘‘humbled and proud’’ to<br />
have been elected to the top job.<br />
‘‘I am feeling very excited to be<br />
given this great opportunity to<br />
carry on the good work our<br />
council does.<br />
‘‘I have spoken to all the<br />
elected councillors and they are<br />
excited about the opportunity to<br />
work as ateam, work to their<br />
strengths and bring the<br />
community along on the<br />
journey,’’ she says.<br />
‘‘I am delighted the result has<br />
been so resounding from a<br />
community perspective.’’<br />

Tenacity pays off<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Dan Gordon could be seen campaigning<br />
in all weathers, waving at passing<br />
motorists. He ran astring of streetcorner<br />
meetings, and his billboards<br />
festooned the district.<br />
His tenacity and determination have<br />
carried him to aconvincing win in the<br />
Waimakariri mayoral race, in which he<br />
polled 2693 more votes than his nearest<br />
rival, Paul Williams, according to the<br />
preliminary results.<br />
Mr Gordon says he is feeling humbled.<br />
‘‘I would like to thank all those who<br />
voted for me. Ioffer my congratulations<br />
to all who stood. This election has been<br />
well contested with avery high voting<br />
turnout (46.38 percent, excluding special<br />
votes).’’<br />
He was at work bright and early on<br />
Monday, sleeves rolled up and ready for<br />
business.<br />
His priorities include managing the<br />
forecast 25% population increase in the<br />
Waimakariri District over the next 10<br />
years, which he says will add to the<br />
growing problems of traffic congestion,<br />
carparking and the need for good healthcare<br />
solutions, including afterhours<br />
services.<br />
‘‘We need to find workable solutions to<br />
these issues so that our district can<br />
continue to thrive,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘Another priority for me, and Iam<br />
sure one which councillors share, is to<br />
find ways of achieving these, at the same<br />
time holding the cost of rates.’’<br />
Mr Gordon is also keen to create closer<br />
connections between the community and<br />
the council. He intends to hold regular<br />
dropin sessions around the district so<br />
people can share their views on issues.<br />
‘‘I want to be an accessible mayor, and<br />
available to everyone.’’<br />
The election has delivered several<br />
changes around the council table.<br />

Imagination gone wild<br />
... Amy Roberts’<br />
ensemble, The<br />
Phoenix,was<br />
recognised at the<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />
Wearable Arts<br />
Awards. PHOTO:SUPPLIED<br />
By RACHEL MACDONALD<br />
Amy Roberts uses art to<br />
expressherself,whetherit’s<br />
colouring or styling clients’<br />
hairatwork or designing<br />
fashion at home.<br />
She needs to be busy, and<br />
her imagination seems<br />
boundless.<br />
Last weekend, the Cust<br />
hairdresser took awayafirst in<br />
the <strong>Canterbury</strong><strong>2019</strong> Wearable<br />
Arts Awards, hosted by Art<br />
Couture New Zealand.<br />
This followsawin in the<br />
adults’ section of the <strong>2019</strong><br />
<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> Wearable<br />
Arts competition late in<br />
August.<br />
Both gowns weredesigned<br />
and handglued or stitched<br />
around adressmaker’s<br />
mannequin in her sitting room.<br />
One is made out of individual<br />
jigsaw bits and the otherof<br />
stylised ‘‘feathers’’, but<br />
weighing enough that it had to<br />
be divided into aseparate<br />
bodice and skirt.<br />
The first gown,currently on<br />
show at the Oxford Museum,is<br />
called The Sky is the Limit.With<br />
abodice, train,fascinator,and<br />
bracelet, it was created<br />
painstakingly from puzzle<br />
pieces separately hotgluedon<br />
to acutaway underskirt. That<br />
dress was all aboutgiving<br />
something ago, tryingtocreate<br />
something beautiful whether<br />
you fail or achieve, saysAmy.<br />
‘‘If you achieve, that’s great.<br />
But if you fail, I’vecome to<br />
understand, you get an even<br />
better steer on what youcould<br />
do better, whatideas might<br />
workbetter next time.’’<br />
Art Couture asked her to<br />
submit the samedress for the<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> show,but Amy had<br />
other ideas.<br />
In this case, the classwas<br />
called Here We Go Again,<br />
where every garment had to<br />
comprise 70 percentrecycled<br />
product. So, with just four<br />
weeks to work with, andalways<br />
up for achallenge, she started<br />
lookingaround for new<br />
materials to repurpose.<br />
The gown started out being<br />
madefrom bicycle innertubes.<br />
Whentheyran out, Amy turned<br />
to car innertubes. Each<br />
‘‘feather’’ was painstakingly<br />
cut by hand, then spraypainted,<br />
beforebeing handstitchedontothe<br />
base<br />
garment.<br />
The crowningmoment came<br />
whenshe found an exploded<br />
❛Ienjoy art as a<br />
personal way to<br />
express myself and<br />
support the people<br />
around me, and some<br />
of those statements<br />
seem to resonate.❜<br />
—Amy Roberts<br />
steel radialtyre on the<br />
roadside, stopped the car and<br />
pickeditup—tothe horror of<br />
her daughter —took it home,<br />
extracted,curled andspraypainted<br />
the metal,and used it<br />
as the sculptural heart of the<br />
ensemble’s headpiece.<br />
The ensemble is called The<br />
Phoenix,building from ablack<br />
train,through red and orange,<br />
then to gold and pink through<br />
the bodice and shoulders.<br />
‘‘The mythhas it thatthe<br />
phoenix risesfrom the ashes,<br />
becomingstronger and wiser<br />
as it gainsnew life,’’Amy says.<br />
‘‘For me, the story —and the<br />
gown —isabout womenwho<br />
have faced,and overcome,<br />
depression.<br />
‘‘So many women aroundme<br />
have faced really hard<br />
journeys, diedalittle bit,but<br />
have come though it. They go<br />
from this dark place, and get<br />
back up on their feet in this<br />
new position of insight and<br />
power that makes themareal<br />
force to be reckonedwith.’’<br />
What doesthe future hold for<br />
Amy’s aspirations? First, she<br />
would liketosee both awardwinning<br />
gowns mounted in the<br />
windowofher hairsalon,<br />
Cedar Heights, in Cust. Second,<br />
she dreamsofdevising an<br />
ensemble that might qualifyfor<br />
the World of WearableArt<br />
AwardsinWellington.<br />
‘‘Thatmeansawhole<br />
audition process.<br />
‘‘Itwould be great to take<br />
some message to awider<br />
audience,’’she says.<br />
‘‘WithWOW, when you get to<br />
that level, you have to come up<br />
with an idea,auditionthe<br />
garment and presentation, and<br />
be accepted into the show. I<br />
enjoy art as apersonalway to<br />
express myselfand support the<br />
peoplearound me, and someof<br />
those statements seem to<br />
resonate.<br />
‘‘I’d love to see wherethat<br />
could go.’’<br />

Golfers show plenty of drive in rebuild<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Having members huddleina<br />
container in the middleofwinter<br />
to socialise after around of golf<br />
has not been idealfor asmall<br />
<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> golf club.<br />
But Scargill GolfClub<br />
members are now enjoyingan<br />
inviting, warm, and bright<br />
clubhouse,which can also double<br />
as ameeting place for the<br />
community.<br />
The clubhouse and community<br />
hall were victimsofthe<br />
November 2016earthquake. Just<br />
acouple of weeks later,aquake<br />
centred in the ScargillGreta<br />
Valley area finished them off.<br />
The club’sold concrete block<br />
building took ahammering.<br />
Waghorn Builders securedpart<br />
of the building,which club<br />
members used for abit, but with<br />
daylight showing between the<br />
blocks it was obvious the 1960s<br />
building had seen better days.<br />
Club presidentNick Fairbairn<br />
set out to secure funding to boost<br />
the club’s insurancepayout of<br />
$130,000. It was ameagre sum<br />
because the club had followed<br />
many othersafter the 2010<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> quakes in lowering<br />
its insurancecover because<br />
premiums had soared.<br />
‘‘That wasn’tgoing to pay for a<br />
new building,’’ Nick explains.<br />
She turned to the New Zealand<br />
Lottery GrantsBoardfor help,<br />
beingsuccessful with two<br />
applications,and agrant of $5000<br />
from the KateValley Landfill<br />
Fund also boosted the coffers.<br />
Meanwhile,acontainerand<br />
the tractor shed wereput to use<br />
as atemporary homefor<br />
members and gear.<br />
‘‘Wesat in the container for a<br />
bit,but there was not much<br />
socialising going on. It wasmidwinter,’’Nick<br />
says.<br />
Waghorn Builders, which had<br />
helped the community for free<br />
whenthe ScargillGreta Valley<br />
quake hit, such as taking down<br />
damagedchimneys, was given<br />
the rebuild task, which started in<br />
May.<br />
The roof was lifted, the<br />
concrete pad retained and the<br />
building pulled down. It was<br />
rebuilt on the samefootprint.<br />
The Glenmark LionsClub paid<br />
for,and built, averanda along<br />
one side.<br />
‘‘Wehave atiny bit of funding<br />
lefttobuild paths.’’<br />
Nicksays none of what has<br />
beenachieved would havebeen<br />
possible without the huge<br />
voluntary inputand help of Stu<br />
Loe andJack Burrows,who were<br />
on the building committeewith<br />
her.<br />
‘‘Itwas such agood club and<br />
community effort to get this done.<br />
Theyall supported me and<br />
helped. It was justamazing<br />
throughout the process. They<br />
would jump in and roll up their<br />
sleeves at working bees, bring<br />
along theirtractors and all sorts<br />
of gear to helpout.<br />
‘‘That is what small rural<br />
communities are all about, and it<br />
is now afacility for the<br />
community too, not just the club,’’<br />
Nicksays.<br />
The community lost its<br />
community hall to the quakes,<br />
and afterarecent public meeting<br />

Special votes will<br />
decide mayoralty<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The Kaikoura mayoralty race remains a<br />
cliffhanger. Eightyfive special votes<br />
will decide who gets the top job, with<br />
Craig Mackle holding on by just eight<br />
votes over John Diver.<br />
The final result, once special votes are<br />
confirmed and included, won’t be<br />
announced until today.<br />
The highlight was the 61.37 percent<br />
turnout, with the 1679 votes punching<br />
well above the national average of 44%.<br />
The larger than usual number of<br />
special votes was expected because of<br />
population movement caused by the<br />
November 2016 earthquake.<br />
There were only enough candidates<br />
nominated to fill the seven seats around<br />
the council table. The new council is<br />
Anthony Blunt, Lisa Bond, Vicki<br />
Gulleford, Julie Howden, Derrick<br />
Milton, Neil Pablecheque and Robby<br />
Roche.<br />
Mr Mackle, asitting councillor until<br />
his mayoral tilt, says he is in ‘‘limbo’’,<br />
and is never aman to ‘‘count his<br />
chickens before they hatch’’. He is<br />
delighted at the votes he received. ‘‘I am<br />
pretty humbled by the support.’’<br />
John Diver has previously been on<br />
council, but was not asitting councillor.<br />
Preliminary results are: Craig Mackle<br />
501, John Diver 493, Darlene Morgan<br />
323, Robby Roche 275, Sharon Rayner<br />

Big grant for Kaikoura pool<br />
The Kaikoura community pool project<br />
has received acash injection of nearly<br />
$1 million.<br />
The new outdoor pool facility is a<br />
big step closer thanks to $950,000 from<br />
the Lotteries Commission’s earthquake<br />
fund.<br />
The latest grant brings the total to<br />
$2.2m, with atarget of $3.7m.<br />

Lotteries funding is ahuge step.<br />
‘‘Building anew pool is now very<br />
much going to happen and it’s areal<br />
privilege to be working towards<br />
JUST RELEASED<br />
“ALPS VIEW”<br />
creating something that will improve<br />
the wellbeing of our youth, our elderly<br />
and our entire community.<br />
‘‘If all goes to plan and we manage to<br />
secure the funds we need, we hope<br />
that construction may be able to start<br />
towards the end of 2020 and an<br />
outdoor pool to be open for the 2020/21<br />
summer swimming season.’’<br />
Draft designs for the new pool have<br />

Congratulations in order<br />
Congratulations to our new mayor, Dan<br />
Gordon, and councillors, as well as to<br />
all the candidates who put up their<br />
hands to serve our communities.<br />
We acknowledge the enormous work<br />
that outgoing mayor and mayoress<br />
David and Marilyn Ayers undertook to<br />
bring our district forward and we look<br />
ahead to the continued dedication and<br />
commitment to our district’s needs by<br />
our new representatives.<br />
Iammeeting with the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency for an update after<br />
the public meeting Icalled on behalf of<br />
the Make SH1 Safer Committee in<br />
September to voice our concerns<br />
around accidents and dangerous nearmisses<br />
from Kaiapoi to the Ashley<br />
Bridge.<br />
Ihave personally requested that<br />
these improvements are expedited to<br />
be implemented within the next 12<br />
months; that asafer pedestrian<br />
crossing be provided across SH1 in<br />
Woodend urgently; and that funding is<br />
guaranteed to address the safety<br />
concerns raised at my meeting.<br />
With the agency reallocating some<br />
$313 million back into roading projects<br />
after the Government missed its targets<br />
for its Auckland rail projects, there is<br />
no excuse now for funding for these<br />
In the Electoratewith<br />
MattDoocey<br />
MP forWaimakariri<br />
Authorised by Matt Doocey, Level 1ConwayLane, 188 High Street, Rangiora.<br />
safety improvements to not be<br />
approved.<br />
As the local MP, there is nothing<br />
more satisfying than working alongside<br />
local residents in taking community<br />
action to advocate for the important<br />
things in our community.<br />
Waikuku residents are relieved to<br />
hear that Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
(ECan) is working through the logistics<br />
to retain their bus service following my<br />
public meeting.<br />
Local resident Kristina came into my<br />
office to ask for my help after she heard<br />
ECan was proposing to cancel the<br />
route.<br />
Iimmediately offered to bring ECan<br />
to Waikuku to hear directly from<br />
residents and it’s great to hear they<br />
have come back to our community with<br />
new proposals.<br />
Iamholding apublic meeting on<br />
water and rural issues in the Oxford<br />
Town Hall on Tuesday, <strong>October</strong> 29, at<br />
7pm.<br />
The Government’s proposed water<br />
reforms have farreaching implications<br />
for both rural and urban communities,<br />
and Iinvite everyone to come along to<br />
hear more about the proposals from<br />
National’s agriculture spokesperson<br />
and MP for Bay of Plenty, Todd Muller.<br />

‘‘Yearend accounts showanet<br />

Millwardsays.<br />
‘‘Thiswas primarily dueto$37.7<br />

lower thanexpected,at $27.9 million<br />

Asteady stream of people filed into the<br />
Waimakariri District Council service<br />
centre last Saturday morning to vote in<br />
the local body elections.<br />
They were greeted by Waimakariri<br />
District Council chief executive Jim<br />
Palmer and council governance<br />
manager Sarah Nichols.<br />
Although voting could be done by<br />
post, electoral boxes were provided in<br />
council service centres nationwide for<br />
those who had left it too late to vote via<br />
the postal system. About 500 people a<br />
day had used the electoral box in the<br />
council service centre’s foyer in<br />
Rangiora to vote, Mr Palmer said on<br />
Saturday.<br />
‘‘It has been the best turnout for<br />
several elections. We are bucking the<br />
trend (for poor voter turnout), which is<br />
great.’’<br />
He thought that one reason for the<br />
increase in turnout was because voters<br />
had to choose anew mayor in<br />
Waimakariri.<br />
‘‘David (Ayers) will be ahard act to<br />
follow. He has been an awesome mayor<br />
and done so much for the community.<br />
‘‘It is nice that he is able to go out on<br />
his own terms.’’<br />

They need to have abit of achat to<br />
them or come into the police station<br />
and have achat,’’ he says.<br />

St Patrick’s Kaiapoi Rarotonga Cultural Trip<br />
Nine Kaiapoi children are about<br />
to embark on atrip of alifetime to<br />
Rarotonga.<br />
St Patrick’s Kaiapoi Catholic Primary<br />
School is taking nine Year 7and 8pupils<br />
and two adults to the Cook Islands in<br />
term four to learn about the local culture<br />
and do some community service.<br />
“This is our second trip and what we’ve<br />
identified is the opportunity to do an<br />
overseas trip like no other,” says teacher<br />
Pax O’Dowd, who will accompany the<br />
pupils to Rarotonga.<br />
“It’s like school camp, where the<br />
students will have some fun, but it’s<br />
Raro style and it’s an opportunity to<br />
give back to the local community and<br />
to learn what we share in common<br />
as Pacific communities as well as our<br />
differences.”<br />
Pax will be joined on the trip by parent<br />
and Board of Trustees member Angela<br />
Lamont.<br />
Although the Cook Islands is officially<br />
apart of New Zealand and uses New<br />
Zealand dollars, life is very different on<br />
the islands and local schools do not<br />
have the same resources.<br />
As well as fundraising for the trip, Pax<br />
says the school has been fundraising<br />
to support Nukutere College, aYear<br />
7to11school in Rarotonga, which St<br />
Patrick’s has built arelationship with.<br />
“Our first trip last year was an<br />
opportunity to see the lay of the land.<br />
We quickly realised the school doesn’t<br />
have alot, and in the last few years<br />
they had afire burn down some of their<br />
classrooms. To date, nothing has been<br />
rebuilt due to alack of funding.”<br />
The St Patrick’s contingent plans to<br />
take some resources for the school and<br />
is seeking support from the local <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> community.<br />
Anumber of local sports organisations<br />
have agreed to donate sports<br />
equipment and local businesses have<br />
given some stationery.<br />
Pax says the group is also liaising with<br />
community groups in Rarotonga to do<br />
some volunteering, planting and clean<br />
up work.<br />
The group will be staying at the<br />
Rakahanga hostel, which is named after<br />
one of the islands, and is like amarae,<br />
Pax says.<br />
“It’s very basic, but community<br />
focused and everybody pitches in with<br />
cooking and cleaning.<br />
“They are wonderful hosts and are<br />
quite proud of their country and are<br />
really happy, humble people.”<br />
The pupils said they were looking<br />
forward to visiting Rarotonga and<br />
meeting their new penpals at Nukutere<br />
College, who they have been<br />
corresponding with in the lead up to the<br />
trip.<br />
Pupil Mason Robson says his penpal<br />
‘likes taro’, apopular vegetable in the<br />
Pacific Islands.<br />
His classmate Caleb Spence says he<br />
has been to Rarotonga before and is<br />
looking forward to returning.<br />
“I’m excited to see the beach. It’s pretty<br />
hot at 30 degrees most of the time and it<br />
rains alot.”<br />
Their classmates are looking forward to<br />
learning about Cook Islands culture and<br />
meeting their penpals.<br />
They have been busy fundraising and<br />
collecting stationery supplies and books<br />
to take to Nukutere College and packing<br />
their bags.<br />
The Cook Islands is acollection of<br />
15 tropical islands totalling 240 square<br />
kilometres and has apopulation similar<br />
to Rangiora.<br />
Far more Cook Island nationals live<br />
in New Zealand, with the 2013 census<br />
identifying more than 60,000 as<br />
resident in this country, about the same<br />
population as the Waimakariri district.<br />
The culture and language are similar<br />
to Maori and the indigenous people are<br />
known as Cook Island Maori.<br />
Nukutere is also believed to be the<br />
name of one of the waka on which Maori<br />
tipuna (ancestors) travelled to Aotearoa<br />
New Zealand.<br />

Tom aims skyward in job switch<br />
Waikari’s Tom Sidey has<br />
gone from maintaining<br />
aircraft to flying them, after<br />
serving nine years in the<br />
Royal New Zealand Air Force<br />
(RNZAF) as an aircraft<br />
technician.<br />
Pilot Officer Sidey was one<br />
of nine air force pilot<br />
trainees from No. 14<br />
Squadron putting their skills<br />
to the test in Otago recently,<br />
conducting flights out of<br />
Dunedin International<br />
Airport.<br />
The pilot trainees were<br />
joined by 10 instructors and<br />
more than 25 supporting<br />
personnel for this year’s<br />
Exercise Wise Owl, atwoweek<br />
pilottraining exercise<br />
focusing on formation flying<br />
in the T6C Texan II aircraft.<br />
After graduating from<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School and joining the air<br />
force in 2009, Pilot Officer<br />
Sidey trained as an aircraft<br />
technician.<br />
In that role he was<br />
deployed to more than 30<br />
countries, including amonth<br />
in Antarctica with the United<br />
States Air National Guard.<br />
However, he always had a<br />
desire to fly and at the start of<br />
2018 started his wings course.<br />
While pilot trainees are<br />
usually stationed at Ohakea<br />
airbase, flying out of a<br />
different airfield during<br />
Exercise Wise Owl provided<br />
them with aunique<br />
challenge.<br />
During the exercise they<br />
flew over Dunedin,<br />
Balclutha, Alexandra,<br />
Timaru, Oamaru, Te Anau,<br />
Manapouri, the Catlins, and<br />
Invercargill.<br />
‘‘When you factor in flying<br />
at up to 300 knots between<br />
250 and 30,000 feet in close<br />
formation with another<br />
aircraft, navigating an<br />
unfamiliar environment<br />
offers awhole new dimension<br />
to our training,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘Having the opportunity to<br />
fly over other parts of the<br />
country and see the awesome<br />
scenery has also been<br />
extremely rewarding.’’<br />
While the wings course<br />
takes up most of his time, he<br />
still finds time to run<br />
ultramarathons and<br />
participate in target<br />
shooting, hunting, fishing and<br />
water sports.<br />
Trainees aim to graduate<br />
by the end of the year, and<br />
will go on to fly either A109<br />
helicopters or the King Air<br />
350 aircraft.<br />
As he nears the end of his<br />
training, he says he has no<br />
regrets about making the<br />
switch.<br />
‘‘Flying as part of the<br />
RNZAF has already been one<br />
of the highlights of my<br />
military career.<br />
‘‘Getting paid to train in<br />
what you are passionate<br />
about and having the<br />
opportunity to contribute to<br />
society in some epic roles<br />
makes all the hard work<br />
worth it.<br />
‘‘And you also make alot of<br />
really awesome mates.’’<br />

scream for the cameras<br />
during the ‘‘foaming’’,<br />
‘‘gunging’’ and other antics.<br />
School principal Jason<br />
Miles said it was lovely to<br />
have What Now on site.<br />
‘‘They brought the whole<br />
set for the show with them. It<br />
is amazing. The children<br />
have been very excited about<br />
it. Every child likes the idea<br />
that they might be on<br />
television.’’<br />
It was abig day for<br />
Clarkville singer Ellie Shaw,<br />
aged 10, who won the event’s<br />
sKids Singing Sensations<br />
national competition. She<br />
went up against three other<br />
finalists from around New<br />
Zealand.<br />

Fun evening in Rangiora sold out<br />
An evening of fun and dancing for<br />
people with disabilities, their carers<br />
and friends has been sold out.<br />

makes auditions an exciting part of<br />
the production process, Gavin says.<br />
‘‘I’m primarily looking for the ability<br />
to ‘match pitch’, or ‘can you sing back<br />
to me the note Ising to you’?<br />
‘‘Then I’m looking for areasonably<br />
strong head voice. Think Aled Jones<br />
singing We’re Walking In The Air<br />
rather than Pink, although she is<br />
amazing,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘Apart from that, I’m looking at<br />
intangibles. Engagement, enjoyment,<br />
focus, character.’’<br />
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor<br />
Dreamcoat is amusical, with lyrics by<br />
Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd<br />
Webber. It is based on the biblical<br />
story of Joseph, found in the Book of<br />
Genesis.<br />
and Marion Outlaws for dancing.<br />
Paula said 322 would attend the<br />
event, with 50 volunteers helping out.<br />
‘‘These events are made possible<br />
because the community gets involved to<br />
help,’’ she said.’’We are grateful for<br />
that. It is avery caring, wraparound<br />
community.’’<br />

Two artists, two styles, one show<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Two <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> artists with<br />
different styles of work are<br />
collaborating for an exhibition in<br />
Oxford.<br />
The exhibition, Collective Works,by<br />
Paul Smith and Rachel Harré, will open<br />
in the Arts in Oxford Gallery this<br />
Saturday and run until Sunday,<br />
November 24.<br />
Paul is an abstract artist who was born<br />
and grew up in England but now calls<br />
Kaiapoi home.<br />
Rachel, who was born in Christchurch<br />
but now lives at Woodend Beach, is also<br />
apainter, focusing mainly on<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> landscapes. However,<br />
sculpting in clay has also become afocus<br />
and it is her figurines which will feature<br />
in this exhibition.<br />
Although Paul and Rachel will be<br />
exhibiting different art forms, they<br />
believe their work will sit well together<br />
in the Arts in Oxford Gallery.<br />
‘‘I believe it will be good together<br />
because it is so different,’’ Rachel says.<br />
Both artists demonstrate alove of<br />
vibrant colours in their work. Paul and<br />
Rachel hope the exhibition will attract<br />
not only people who already know their<br />
work, but newcomers.<br />
Paul’s painting style ‘‘starts off quite<br />
loose without any subject in mind and<br />
the end result is asurprise’’.<br />
Rachel’s figurines convey aclearer,<br />
more personal message.<br />
However, both artists know from<br />
experience that each person looking at<br />
their work may interpret it differently<br />
from how they view it.<br />
Arts in Oxford, at 72 Main Street,<br />
Oxford, is open Tuesday to Sunday from<br />
10am to 4pm, except public holidays. It<br />
is run as anotforprofit charitable trust<br />
and is staffed by volunteers.<br />
Works on show ... Woodend Beach artist<br />
Rachel Harré with Protection,one of her<br />

is holding with Kaiapoi abstract artist Paul<br />

which will feature in the exhibition, which<br />

Shinryukan and technical director for<br />
NewZealand Aikikai, at the Rangiora<br />
Aikido Dojo headquarters in Rangiora.<br />
Shayne Garbes and Scott McMurtrie<br />
both began practising Aikidotoget fit and<br />
gain confidence.<br />
‘‘I find it good for fitness and it has also<br />
beenanassetand good skill to have now<br />
Iamapolice officer, being aless<br />
aggressive style, but Iam now confident in<br />
dealing with an aggressiveperson,’’ Scott<br />
says.<br />
Shayne found learning Aikido suitedhis<br />
temperament, helped him gain fitness,<br />
confidence and find comradeship.<br />
The Aikido adult grading systemis<br />
divided into six Kyu (beginner) grades<br />
and nine Dan (black belt) grades.<br />
Rangiora dojo headChris Clarke saysif<br />
astudenttrains regularly and makes good<br />
progressthey can attain Shodan levelin<br />
about fouryears.<br />

‘‘Also, we should acknowledge the input<br />
of training partners,teachers,and the<br />
support of families andfriends, as<br />
together they make this success possible.’’<br />
However, although there is ageneral<br />
perception that obtaining ablack belt<br />
makes the student amaster in amartial<br />
art, the meaning of Shodan is literally<br />
‘‘beginner degree’’.<br />
Chris says gainingShodanis like<br />
finishing an apprenticeship where you<br />
have completed the basic training, and<br />
are acknowledged as capable of<br />
performing the work.<br />
‘‘You are not yet amaster but you have<br />
the foundation on which to build<br />
experience and become one.<br />
‘‘There is definitely adevelopmental<br />
progression beyond Shodan, and it is<br />
important that students don’t see it as an<br />
end pointintheir training, but the start of<br />
anew and more advanced undertaking.’’

Introducing Miss March<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
SPCA’s 2020 dog calendar will be<br />
special for Linda Newman.<br />
Aphotograph of her dog, Bella,<br />
a4yearold German shepherdborder<br />
collie cross, is one of<br />
more than 1200 pets chosen to<br />
feature in the three SPCA<br />
calendars.<br />
Linda, who lives in<br />
Christchurch but was formerly<br />
from Cheviot, said she ‘‘fell in<br />
love with Bella, who became an<br />
SPCA dog after she was ‘‘owner<br />
surrendered’’ at 12 months of<br />
age.<br />
Every year the SPCA holds a<br />
competition to find images for its<br />
calendars and raise funds for the<br />
organisation by asking animal<br />
owners to submit favourite<br />
photos of their pets.<br />
Every pet entered in the<br />
competition is guaranteed a<br />
place in the calendar, with 12<br />
chosen as ‘‘pets of the month’’<br />
and acat, dog, and small, or farm<br />
animal, as the cover stars.<br />
Bella is likely to be the March<br />
dog.<br />
The entry fee was $25 per<br />
photo, and every entry received a<br />
free calendar, with all proceeds<br />
going to helping the injured,<br />
abused, and abandoned animals<br />
of New Zealand.<br />
The three calendars will<br />
feature cats, dogs and other<br />
animals.<br />
‘‘The calendars are filled with<br />
incredible photos of pets across<br />
New Zealand, says the SPCA’s<br />
senior communications<br />
organiser, Sarah Hitchings.<br />
‘‘We are so happy with how the<br />
calendars look. It made us so<br />
happy seeing how loved and<br />
happy so many animals in New<br />
Zealand are.’’<br />
The calendars cost $25 each<br />
and can be ordered at: spca.nz/<br />
2020calendars, with all proceeds<br />
going to the SPCA.<br />

Trust to be<br />
out in force<br />
for spring<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
The Community Wellbeing <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Trust will be out and about in<br />
the community over the next month.<br />
With spring in the air, trust manager<br />
Deirdre Ryan says <strong>October</strong> is agood<br />
chance for people to get out and enjoy<br />
their community.<br />
She says the trust has already been out<br />
at both the Kaiapoi River Wellbeing<br />
Walk and the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Business<br />
Expo, and will be present at the<br />
Soroptomist Fair on <strong>October</strong> 22, and the<br />
Rangiora and Amberley A&P shows.<br />
‘‘We are out and about, so people<br />
can come and meet us and find out about<br />
us.<br />
‘‘What we have been wanting to do is<br />
build relationships with the community<br />
and we want to contribute to athriving<br />
community, and people thrive when their<br />
wellbeing is strong.’’<br />
In recent years the trust has marked<br />
Community Wellbeing Week in <strong>October</strong><br />
to raise the profile of the trust, wellbeing<br />
in the community, and some muchneeded<br />
funds.<br />
With anew marketing and<br />
communications person, Louise Leitch,<br />
having joined the team, Deirdre says the<br />
trust is reviewing how it can promote its<br />
presence in the community.<br />
‘‘We are thinking strategically about<br />
how we are raising our profile in our<br />
local community,’’ Louise says.<br />
‘‘Is calling it something like<br />
‘Community Wellbeing Month’, which is a<br />
collection of activities in the community,<br />
the best approach, rather than<br />
connecting it with an international or<br />
national event?<br />
‘‘And does amonth of activities mean<br />
something to the community?’’<br />
The trust is also hosting its annual<br />
meeting on <strong>October</strong> 23 from 4.30pm in the<br />
Rangiora Town Hall function centre and<br />
afundraising concert with former<br />
international cricketer and coach John<br />
Wright and the Sou’Westers on November<br />
1.<br />
‘‘We are uniquely <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>, so<br />
come along to our AGM and find out more<br />
about your trust,’’ Deirdre says.<br />
The trust celebrated its 30th<br />
anniversary last year and continues to<br />
offer arange of services, including the<br />
community pantry in Kaiapoi, family<br />
counselling, youth drug and alcohol<br />
counsellors, social workers, restorative<br />
justice and the Karanga Mai Early<br />
Learning Centre, which offers support<br />
for young parents.<br />
Thanks to community support, the trust<br />
is able to offer its services at no cost to<br />
recipients.

‘‘Itwas veryexciting.Itwas quite<br />
unexpected as thecompetitionwas tough.<br />
It is awonderful awardand an amazing<br />
achievement,’’ she says.<br />
Thejudges were impressed with<br />
Sharlene’s ability to articulatethe Skool<br />
Loop product andits focus on providing<br />
employment in rural towns.<br />
TheSkool Loop appwas launched six<br />
years agoand startedout from Sharlene’s<br />
ownfrustrations with communications<br />

‘‘That’s whatmademethinkofit—my<br />

Sharlene saysher second goalwas to<br />
provideflexible employmentfor parents<br />
so theycouldjuggle family life.<br />
‘‘Almost all of my staff are parents<br />

CRICKET<br />
The <strong>Canterbury</strong> Country premiergrade<br />
cricket competition finallygot started on<br />
Saturday after all matcheswere<br />
abandonedbecause of poor weatherthe<br />
previous weekend.<br />
However, not all teams got to play.<br />
Darfield’s game againstOxford/<br />
Rangiora was abandoned without aball<br />
being bowled because of persistent drizzle.<br />
Fortunately, the otherthree matches did<br />
get started, but in some cases withreduced<br />
overs as earlymorning rain againhad an<br />
effect.<br />
Newly promoted Lincolnwas host to the<br />
powerful Cheviotside and started<br />
promisingly with an openingpartnership<br />
of 51.<br />
Hugh Patersonwas the main contributor<br />
to the inningswith 33, ablyassistedby<br />
captain Adam Coleman with28.<br />
Wickets fell regularly after the opening<br />
partnership beforeLincoln was dismissed<br />
for abelowpar 111 in the final over of the<br />
innings.<br />
Charley Sidey andScott Burnettcaused<br />
all sorts of problems for the batsmen,<br />
taking4/18 and3/18 respectively.<br />
In reply, Cheviot was in early trouble at<br />
28 for 3before afourthwicket partnership<br />
of 87 by Will Hamiltonand Chris Burnett<br />
took the side to victory in the 19th over.<br />
Hamilton led the way with abreezy43<br />
notout in 39 balls.<br />
Easy Southbrook win<br />
Seftonbatted first againstSouthbrookat<br />
SouthbrookPark. Sefton’s batsmen<br />
struggled throughout the innings against<br />
the accurate Southbrookattack.Sefton<br />
limpedto76all out off 30 overs,with only<br />
Chris Warner (20) and Fraser Sheat (11)<br />
reaching double figures.<br />
Luan Blom,with 3/9 off 7overs,was the<br />
pick of the Southbrook bowlers.<br />
Southbrookstalwart Darren Boyletook<br />
2/12 and in the processcapturedhis 500th<br />
wicketinpremiergrade cricket.<br />
Chasing the meagretotal, Shanan<br />
Stewart again showed why he is the best<br />
batsman in the competition, racing to 51 off<br />
49 balls before being stumpedwith the<br />
scorestied.Southbrook lostjust two<br />
wickets in reaching the total in 13.4 overs.<br />
In form with ball ... Cheviot’s Scott<br />
Burnett, who took 3/18, caused all sorts of<br />
problems for the Lincoln batsmen.<br />
Too strong<br />

Southbridge,with ateam fullof<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Country representatives,<br />
played Weedons at MainPower Oval,<br />

Schoolprepares to<br />
mark40thjubilee<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Rangiora New Life School’s 40th jubilee<br />
is being described as an opportunity for<br />
people to connect.<br />
Principal Stephen Walters says the<br />
school’s Labour Weekend celebrations<br />
will provide achance to reflect on the<br />
school’s growth from 16 pupils in 1979 to<br />
aYear 0to13school of 470 pupils today.<br />
‘‘The school was started by the<br />
Gateway New Life Church as aprivate<br />
Christian primary school because the<br />
founders wanted to educate their own<br />
children.<br />
‘‘Those 16 pioneers weathered a<br />
winter at Leigh Camp (at Loburn), before<br />
the founders purchased the current site.<br />
It was aswampy, overgrown paddock.’’<br />
He says the school was built first,<br />
before the church, and has been added<br />
to over the years.<br />
The school later became astateintegrated<br />
Christian school and was<br />
extended to Year 13 in 1994.<br />
‘‘We provide aChristian education for<br />
families that want it. It’s very important<br />
that as aparent you have the choice<br />
between agood quality state school in<br />
your local area, an integrated school,<br />
and private schools,’’ Mr Walters says.<br />
‘‘I’ve always been agreat believer in<br />
working with the community. We are<br />
part of the area schools network in<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> and also with primary<br />
schools that are associated with them,<br />
and we have relationships with all the<br />
schools in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> as well.’’<br />
He says the school runs six buses each<br />
day, picking up pupils from as far afield<br />
as Oxford and Amberley. It has strong<br />
relationships with local churches,<br />
across avariety of denominations.<br />
The 40th jubilee celebrations will<br />
begin with the annual Founders’ Day<br />
Assembly at 2pm on Friday, <strong>October</strong> 25,<br />
where one of the original founding<br />
trustees will be attending.<br />
‘‘We do this every year to honour those<br />
who have sacrificed alot to get this<br />
school to where we are today.’’<br />
There will be achurch service the next<br />
day at 9.30am, followed by an<br />
opportunity for visitors to have alook<br />
around the school, ‘‘to reminisce and to<br />
reconnect’’.<br />
‘‘It’s lovely to be part of that and to be<br />
having people from all different stages<br />
of the school to come and connect.’’<br />
Registration is still open, but people<br />
are urged to get in quickly via the<br />
Rangiora New Life School page on<br />
Facebook or online at rnls.school.nz/<br />

Chanel’s Riviera, by Anne de Courcy<br />
Far from worrying aboutthe onset of<br />
war, in the spring of 1938the burning<br />
questiononthe French Riviera was<br />
whether one should curtsey to the<br />
Duchess of Windsor. It was agolden,<br />
glamorous life, far removed from<br />
politics or conflict. Chanel’s Riviera<br />
explores the world of the Cote d’Azur<br />
eliteinthe 1930s and 1940s. Enriched<br />
with original research, it is asocial<br />
history that brings the experiences of<br />
both rich andpoor,protected and<br />
persecuted, to life.<br />
