Police use
‘covert’
operations
in bid to
bag window
smashers
• By Claire Booker
POLICE HAVE been performing
covert operations and stepping up
their presence in Bishopdale in a
bid to catch people throwing rocks
through windows.
Senior Sergeant Roy Appley said
police have been
patrolling the suburb
and undertaking
“covert and overt
operations” for the
past two weeks
after seven reports
of windows being
smashed with rocks.
Although they are
yet to catch those
Roy Appley
responsible, there have been no
reports of smashed windows since
October 19.
Said Senior Sergeant Appley: “We
haven’t held anybody to account yet,
but one way or another the reduction
has happened, which is what we are
after.”
However, residents can still
expect to see more police around
Bishopdale as they aim to prevent
further crime in the area.

•HAVE YOUR SAY: What do you make of the newly-elected chairs and deputy chairs? Email

Board chair goes to Norrish
• By Claire Booker
EXPERIENCED member
Emma Norrish will take over
as chairwoman of the Papanui-
Innes Community Board after
former-chairwoman Ali Jones
decided not to run for the role.
The third term board member
was deputy
chairwoman
last term to Ms
Jones, and was
unanimously
voted in last
week to lead
the board for
the next three
Emma Norrish
years.
Ms Jones
was not at the meeting last week,
but she had already informed the
board members she did not want
to be considered for the role of
chairwoman, and the board had
discussed that Ms Norrish would
be a good fit for the role.
Said Ms Jones: “I wasn’t prepared
to put my name forward
for the role. My personal earthquake
claim needs to be my top
priority at the moment.”
Ms Norrish said her good local
knowledge and experience as a
deputy chairwoman will serve
her well in the new role.
“Being the deputy for the last
term has equipped me well to
serve in this role,” Ms Norrish
said.
The challenge for deputy chair
was close, with community
board newcomers Simon Britten
and Emma Twaddell both nominated
for the role.
Mr Britten won the vote
3-2, and said he looks forward
to bringing his experience in
working collaboratively and his
experience with chairing other
boards to the role.
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
will be led by experienced fourterm
member David Cartwright.
But Mr Cartwright plans on
stepping down after about a year
in the role to allow a younger
board member to take on the
role.
He hopes the initiative to
change chairs catches on in other
boards across the city.
Bridget Williams may be just
the right fit to step into the role
of chair in a year’s time, and
she was unanimously elected

as deputy chairwoman at the

Said Mr Cartwright: “[The
plan is that] I will remain chair
and allow Bridget to understand
the intricacies and ins and outs
of the details and commitments
of the chair and deputy chair.”
Mr Cartwright hopes to play
a part in getting a tree policy,
which relates to safe removal and
maintenance of the city’s trees
brought into action, which has
been sitting in a draft format for
about 17 years.

Plan revealed to fix worn
out Bishopdale skate park
PLANS TO revamp one of the
largest suburban skate park’s in
the city have been revealed.
Bishopdale Park’s worn out
skate area on Leacroft St will
undergo a makeover to make it
more suitable for beginner and
intermediate skaters.
The total area of the skate park
will increase from 1197sq m to
almost 1300sq m.
The city council is asking for
feedback on a series of proposed
improvements to the park.
Specialist skate park
designer Richard Smith was
commissioned to create a
landscape plan.
The proposed skate park
would feature a pump bump, low
pyramid, roll-overs, and a jersey
barrier, blended into a roll-over
finger, as well as bench seating
and a picnic table. The existing
concrete slabs would be resealed
and the quarter-pipe replaced
with a granite ledge and smaller
half pipe.
Said city council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge: “Bishopdale
Park is close to a number of
schools and is very popular with
local families. Improving the existing
skate area will make it even
more appealing to young people
in the area and provide them
There will be an opportunity to discuss the revamp plans
for the Bishopdale Park skate area with city council staff on
November 24 at the park between 11am and 2pm
PLANS: The proposed upgrade of the Bishopdale Park skate
area includes a new half-pipe and granite ledge, as well as
bench seating and a picnic table.
with some good challenges.”
About 500 information leaflets
have been delivered to nearby
properties and key stakeholders
last week. Suggestions for the
design were collected from last
year’s Bishopdale Skate Jam
event.

He also received the Greatest
Individual Impact Award, for
almost single-handedly raising
$14,000 for World Vision.
“These awards highlight my
passion to help as well as the huge
amount of work that the school
has encouraged us to do over the
years to support World Vision,”
he said.
Said Izaac on raising the
$14,000: “I started to email celebrities
across the globe ranging
from Graham Norton, Ellen De-
Generes, multiple different actors
and celebrities overseas and also
many famous New Zealanders.”
Izaac did not get many responses
but heard back from
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern,
Nico Porteus, some All Blacks
and other New Zealand artists.
From there, he had the idea to
host an art auction, which raised
$12,000, he then door-knocked
NOR’WEST NEWS
and approached family members,
which raised another $2000.
Next year, Izaac will travel to
Malawi with four other World
Vision Ambassadors and see
where the funds from the 40hr
famine will go.
“This is a long way from home,
making it an exciting adventure
for myself and the other four
ambassadors going on the trip. I
feel excited but ready for the challenge,”
he said.
Once he returns from Malawi,
he will visit schools across the
country to assist with fundraising
for World Vision, and he said
one of his key goals is to increase
participation in the famine across
Christchurch.
“I feel so privileged and blessed
to be able to help World Vision
with its global work and to be
able to help it make a change is
something that will stick with me
forever,” he said.

Wilson goes to
Malawi next year,
he will witness
first-hand the
work World
Vision does,
such as helping
communities

As local MP, there’s nothing more
satisfying than working alongside
local residents in advocating
for the important things in our
community. At my over 60s’
coffee morning in Belfast recently,
Colleen and Frank raised
concerns about young children
crossing the railway line from
Thompsons Road to get to Belfast
School. I organised a meeting
for them with the New Zealand
Transport Agency (NZTA). Colleen
and Frank were thrilled to hear
that NZTA will build a crossing
over the railway line with warning
bells and an automatic gate, to be
completed by the middle of next
year. This will also help the elderly
with mobility scooters to cross
safely to get to the Northwood
Supa Centre.
I joined our Canterbury MPs in
celebrating our Indian community
at the Diwali Festival. The Festival
of Lights is a great way for us
to share in Indian culture and
acknowledge the contribution of
our migrants.
With over 23 schools in the
electorate, it’s a busy time with
a number of school prizegivings
being held. Last week I
joined Kaiapoi High School in
acknowledging their seniors at the
end of year prizegiving. I enjoy
these opportunities to engage
with our young people.
Last week saw the last of my
over 60s’ coffee mornings for
this year and a huge thank you
to all who attended. It has been
enormously valuable to me to
hear your views.
I wish everyone a great
Canterbury Show Day. It’s a
highlight on Canterbury’s calendar
and many of us have great
memories as children enjoying
the rides, candyfloss and animals.
Please do stop and say hello if
you’re attending.

Entertainer honoured with local hero award
• By Matt Slaughter
KATHLEEN HOOD has spent 40
years putting smiles on the faces of
Christchurch’s elderly.
The 86-year-old entertains
residents at Elmswood Retirement
Village, Bryndwr, and Middlepark
Rest Home, Upper Riccarton, and
has previously done so at The Princess
Margaret Hospital.
This volunteering work has
earned her a Kiwibank New Zealand
Local Hero of the Year Award,
which she and other Christchurch
local heroes will receive at a ceremony
on December 3.
Mrs Hood tells jokes, reads poetry
and runs a quiz each time she
visits retirement homes.
She said this brings joy to their
residents and the quizzes include
historic questions, which bring back
memories and often start nostalgic
conversations between them.
“It’s really good because the questions
I ask are relevant to their age
and their experiences in life. They
do really enjoy it.”
Mrs Hood said her favourite thing
about what she does and the reason
she has been doing it for so many
years is it brings happiness to people
who sometimes need it most.
“The best thing for me is giving
to these older people. Some of
them have had very lonely lives
and when they come into the rest
home they’re a wee bit nervous.
She said when she entertains
residents “there’s a lot of laughter, I
can even tell a few risque jokes and
they enjoy all that.”
Mrs Hood said not even health
issues were able to stop her volunteering
for long.
“I did have two challenges with
cancer but I have had surgery and
I’m really fine now, everything’s all
good.’’
She said she was back in front
of retirement home audiences “as
soon as I could get back behind the
wheel.”
Mrs Hood is proud to receive a
local hero award this year.
“I never ever expected it and
when it came everybody around
me, my family and my friends
were all saying well deserved. It’s
very humbling and it will be to be
among people who have done marvellous
things in the community on
the night of the awards.”
But Mrs Hood said winning
awards is not why she volunteers
her time.
“If you ask any volunteer, it’s not
for accolades or recognition, you
don’t do it for that, it’s just for the
love of doing it, I suppose.”
She hopes her efforts will inspire
her children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren to volunteer in
their communities.

One size and one shape definitely
does not fit all. One weekend recently,
I had the pleasure of joining a tour of
architectural homes which championed
the principles of energy awareness and
conservation, amongst other things.
Style over size was evident amongst all
the individual and specific architectural
signatures, as was the variation of
spatial configurations, and this has
caused me to reflect on the increasing
popularity of smaller properties and
the acceptance of different ways of
doing things.
Firstly, size. Not small, as in ‘let’s fit your entire
life into a caravan’, but small as in compact,
thoughtful and clever, is enjoying an increase in
popularity throughout our region. The restraint
required to ‘live smaller’ would be too much for
me and it’s no secret that I have a maximalist
rather than a minimalist approach, but I can
definitely appreciate why this trend is gaining
momentum nationally and internationally.
Millennials wanting a chance to get onto the
property ladder are considering alternatives
to the types of properties their parents might
have started with, and size features strongly in
this equation, whilst retirees are wanting to turn
things on their head and look to a similar lifestyle
and property, but smaller, having been there and
done that.
One of the reasons for considering a smaller
dwelling is obvious: energy efficiency. A smaller
house should be easier to heat, and this flows
The BIG trend
of going SMALL
directly on to a reduced cost. A smaller ecological
footprint, helping both your pocket and our
planet. Solar-powered options feature, as do
passive heating methods based around a house’s
orientation and construction. Excess materials,
color choices and furniture are all pared back, and
clever storage options become all-important.
The other notable element in choosing to live
like this is that your community and your city
surroundings take on a whole new meaning, and
with ‘intimate’ (my word for ‘tiny’!) garden spaces,
you can see the merit in this. The park next-door
acts as your garden and the city, your backyard –
and potentially a scooter replaces your car.
For me, it seems like the easiest time to make a
decision to commit to this lifestyle would be when
you first start out and don’t have much or later
when you have so much that you think, ‘I now want
less’. That middle period with kids, cars, bikes and
all the other stuff that comes with life would make
it too hard for some, but as the tour I’ve referred to
has taught me, not everyone feels this way. Therein
lies the beauty of the times we live in and the
choices we have.
One size certainly doesn’t fit all – nor is it expected
too – and it just so happens that there are
architects, builders, developers and designers
thinking the same way. It makes for an engaging
and interesting era.

St Andrew’s music teacher honoured
• By Claire Booker
DUNCAN FERGUSON has
been teaching at St Andrew’s
College for 10 years and last
week he was named New
Zealand’s Music Teacher of the
Year.
The head of music was in
Wellington last week with a
group of students on a field trip,
and he said it was very special to
have the students with him as he
accepted the Tui award.
Mr Ferguson plans to display
it on his desk at school, and said
he was very humbled to win the
award.
Said Mr Ferguson: “To even
be nominated was special.
While winning an award is no
motivation for what I do, it is
gratifying to see that the long
hours and hard work I put in has
been recognised at a national
level.
“My amazing students provide
the biggest motivation to do a
good job. I am lucky to be their
teacher,” he said.
Mr Ferguson was the only
South Island finalist, with the
others being Jane Egan, of
Gisborne, and Auckland’s Sue
Banham.
At St Andrew’s, Mr Ferguson
manages 30 co-curricular
groups across all genres of

motivation to do a good

but was quietly confident in his
chances.

naturally have been

time still super proud that I was
a finalist,” he said.
Mr Ferguson said the award
will not change the way he
works or how his students and
colleagues view him.
“The main reason why I won
the award is that I am constantly
questioning my practice and
figuring out new ways of better
serving my students from year
to year. That will continue to
happen.
“The work I do on a national
level training teachers and
providing them with resources
will [also] continue as I want
to see all young musicians and
composers in New Zealand
empowered by the music
education system,” Mr Ferguson
said.

Concerns have been raised on
the Bishopdale Community Group
Facebook page after two thefts were
reported last weekend.
A woman had her handbag stolen
from her home on Mooray Ave and
$1000 was spent on her credit card
at Bishopdale Village Mall.
“This highlights people need to
be constantly thinking about their
personal safety. If we make it harder
[for potential thieves], these events
may be less likely to happen,” Senior
Sergeant Appley said.
A 16-year-old male also had his
bike stolen by a group of four men
thought to be in their late teens or
early 20s. The men cut the young
cyclist off in a silver sedan, then
rugby tackled him off the bike
before physically assaulting him and
taking the bike. He was not seriously
injured and was able to walk
home to phone police.
Senior Sergeant Appley was not
aware of any increase in crime in
the north-west, but said police will
continue to closely monitor the area.

IN CONCERT: Polly Lee and Chloe Jiang performing with the
Christchurch Symphony Orchestra at the town hall.
Girls show ‘poise and
grace’ on stage with CSO
TWO YOUNG musicians got
the chance to play with the
Christchurch Symphony
Orchestra at the town
hall last week.
Rangi Ruru Girls’
School year 7 music
scholar Polly Lee and
Cathedral Grammar
year 8 student and 2020
music scholar Chloe
Jiang were soloists at the
CSO’s Last Night of the
Proms concert.
The pair played the
piano duet solo in three
movements from Saint-
Saëns’ Carnival of the
Animals – Aquarium,
Fossils, and The Swan.
Rangi Ruru director
of music Janet
Kingsbury said it was a
wonderful concert, and
the girls performed with “poise
and grace.”
“Polly and Chloe are very
accomplished pianists and
violinists,” said Mrs
Kingsbury:
“The fact that these
young women are playing
alongside much older
musicians is a clear
indication of the high
calibre of some of our
current and future music
students.
Chloe Jiang
“All credit to them, their
talent and their incredible
focus and drive.”
Last Night of the
Proms was Polly’s third
performance as a soloist
with the CSO. She has
previously been a violin
soloist.
Polly and Chloe are
Polly Lee taught by Christchurch
pianists and teachers
Melanie Lina and Michael
Endres.
Big future for young filmmakers
• By Claire Booker
FREYA CHAMPION had acted
in one short film before her
fellow Christchurch Girls’ High
School classmates recruited her
for their media studies project.
But last week her talents were
recognised at the Ara School
Shorts Screen Festival, where she
was named best actress.
The film Lured was made by
CGHS students Louise Kim and
Georgie Baddeley, who created it
in their media studies class.
Freya played the leading role of
Liz, a young woman investigating
the sudden disappearance of
her best friend.
Louise, who lives in
Halswell, wrote the
script for the film
after researching
pseudo-religion
and finding
out about
multiple
historic
cult-related
murders.
Lured
was one of
19 films
showcased
at the
competition
final at The
Palms. The
short films
were screened
at Reading Cinemas.
Said Louise: “It was one of the
most exciting moments of my
life to have our film screened in
an actual cinema and having an
audience to watch it.”
Freya was surprised to take out
best actress, and said it was a real
honour.
Her passion for acting has
flourished over the past few
years as she has been involved
in theatre sports and small
productions.
“As I have only starred in one
other film, I wasn’t quite sure
what would tick the boxes for
the judges, so I was
NOR’WEST NEWS
pleasantly surprised to receive
the award,” she said. The 18-yearold
also has a passion for politics
and earlier this year attended the
Youth Parliament as the Youth
MP for Christchurch Central
Labour MP Duncan Webb.
Freya said the highlight of
being involved in the film was
working with her two best
friends.
“Georgie and Louise had a
great vision for the film, and
because of our friendship, we
were able to easily communicate
ideas and this allowed us to film
in a good environment,” she said.
Next year, Freya, Georgie and
Louise will go their separate
ways to study, but will
continue to develop their
skills and passion in
film.
CREATIVE: CGHS
friends (from

Fitzgerald, Anna
Champion,
Louise Kim,

release of the
short film, Lured,
for which Freya
won a ‘best
actress’ award.

Basketball’s best to play in all-star game
• By Jacob Page
THE BEST secondary school
basketball players in Canterbury
will get their chance to impress
in respective boys and girls
all-star games before the New
Zealand Breakers game at
Horncastle Arena next month.
The Breakers will host the
South East Melbourne Phoenix
on December 20.
Christ’s College’s Josh Book
and Mason Whittaker, St Bede’s
Walter Brown, Papanui’s Izzy
Orr and St Andrew’s Mac
Stodart will all take part in the
games.
The girls game will tip off at
2.10pm and the boys game will
tip off at 3.50pm followed by the
Breakers and Phoenix at 7.30pm.
The high school games come
after the Thomson and Whelan
Trophy season as well as strong
national campaigns where
Cashmere High School finished
fourth in the boys competition
and Christchurch Girls’ High
School finished eighth in the
girls’ grade.
Organiser, Joe Hammond said
the plan was to split the squads
into two even teams to produce
two even encounters.
He said squads were picked
by the top six high school boys
coaches and former Canterbury
Wildcats coach Lori McDaniel.
“It’s been a couple of years
since the game was held, but I
SPORT
think it’s a great way to recognise
the effort and achievements of
the players throughout the season,”
Mr Hammond said.
There are also plans to
livestream the two games.
“The Breakers have said the
team will try to watch the concluding
stages of the games so
hopefully it will give the kids a
big buzz.’’

Summerset at Wigram serviced apartment resident, Alma with daughter Maree
Serviced apartments,
the best of both worlds
Discover how Summerset living allows
Alma to stay active and thrive

“ Since Mum’s been here,
she’s just blossomed”
From growing up in a big family in Christchurch to being happily married for 63 years, Alma’s had
plenty of company throughout her whole life.
So, when the option to move to a Summerset serviced apartment came up, Alma and daughter
Maree were naturally a little nervous it might be a bit on the quiet side for her. But, since the move,
they’ve discovered it’s been anything but quiet.
“I don’t think you’d ever need to feel lonely here. It’s just like a big family and there’s always
something going on,” remarks Alma.
When she first arrived at her serviced apartment, Alma had her husband by her side. Sadly, he
passed away shortly after due to on-going health issues. “I thought it might take her a little while to
deal with the loss of dad and… the new surroundings, but it was quite amazing really how quickly
she settled, and I think that was down to the staff,” recalls daughter Maree.
Alma with Maree as a toddler
While the move was a big decision, the whole family feel that Alma has “blossomed” since and
has become more herself again.
“ She’s involved herself in things that she hadn’t done for years, Choir. Exercising.
She’s just taken it with both hands, made friends and it’s all been just amazing.”
Maree and Alma both admit that the stigma of retirement living put them off for longer than it
needed to. “I think mum was just so delighted when she came here and realised how welcoming
and how well-run [the place was] and what care was here for her. I think it was an eye-opener, really.”
Having Alma living at home with her would have been a dream for Maree, but with the reality of
working all day, she worried her mum would be very bored. But Alma hasn’t had time for boredom
at all since moving to Summerset. “There’s so much to keep you occupied. Music. Happy Hour, little
outings. It’s a lovely place to be.”
Alma also fills her time with a cheeky bit of cleaning, even though she doesn’t need to lift a finger.
“I don’t think she leaves a lot for the staff to clean, but that’s mum,” laughs Maree.
“It’s a relief for us to know that she’s taken care of. Dad would be so pleased to see she’s in a
place like this. It’s just been a godsend.”
