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

your views to claire.booker@starmedia.kiwi<br />

Board chair goes to Norrish<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

EXPERIENCED member<br />

Emma Norrish will take over<br />

as chairwoman of the Papanui-<br />

Innes Community Board after<br />

former-chairwoman Ali Jones<br />

decided not to run for the role.<br />

The third term board member<br />

was deputy<br />

chairwoman<br />

last term to Ms<br />

Jones, and was<br />

unanimously<br />

voted in last<br />

week to lead<br />

the board for<br />

the next three<br />

Emma Norrish<br />

years.<br />

Ms Jones<br />

was not at the meeting last week,<br />

but she had already informed the<br />

board members she did not want<br />

to be considered for the role of<br />

chairwoman, and the board had<br />

discussed that Ms Norrish would<br />

be a good fit for the role.<br />

Said Ms Jones: “I wasn’t prepared<br />

to put my name forward<br />

for the role. My personal earthquake<br />

claim needs to be my top<br />

priority at the moment.”<br />

Ms Norrish said her good local<br />

knowledge and experience as a<br />

deputy chairwoman will serve<br />

her well in the new role.<br />

“Being the deputy for the last<br />

term has equipped me well to<br />

serve in this role,” Ms Norrish<br />

said.<br />

The challenge for deputy chair<br />

was close, with community<br />

board newcomers Simon Britten<br />

and Emma Twaddell both nominated<br />

for the role.<br />

Mr Britten won the vote<br />

3-2, and said he looks forward<br />

to bringing his experience in<br />

working collaboratively and his<br />

experience with chairing other<br />

boards to the role.<br />

The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board<br />

will be led by experienced fourterm<br />

member David Cartwright.<br />

But Mr Cartwright plans on<br />

stepping down after about a year<br />

in the role to allow a younger<br />

board member to take on the<br />

role.<br />

He hopes the initiative to<br />

change chairs catches on in other<br />

boards across the city.<br />

Bridget Williams may be just<br />

the right fit to step into the role<br />

of chair in a year’s time, and<br />

she was unanimously elected<br />

last week.<br />

as deputy chairwoman at the<br />

meeting.<br />

Said Mr Cartwright: “[The<br />

plan is that] I will remain chair<br />

and allow Bridget to understand<br />

the intricacies and ins and outs<br />

of the details and commitments<br />

of the chair and deputy chair.”<br />

Mr Cartwright hopes to play<br />

a part in getting a tree policy,<br />

which relates to safe removal and<br />

maintenance of the city’s trees<br />

brought into action, which has<br />

been sitting in a draft format for<br />

about 17 years.<br />

Plan revealed to fix worn<br />

out Bishopdale skate park<br />

PLANS TO revamp one of the<br />

largest suburban skate park’s in<br />

the city have been revealed.<br />

Bishopdale Park’s worn out<br />

skate area on Leacroft St will<br />

undergo a makeover to make it<br />

more suitable for beginner and<br />

intermediate skaters.<br />

The total area of the skate park<br />

will increase from 1197sq m to<br />

almost 1300sq m.<br />

The city council is asking for<br />

feedback on a series of proposed<br />

improvements to the park.<br />

Specialist skate park<br />

designer Richard Smith was<br />

commissioned to create a<br />

landscape plan.<br />

The proposed skate park<br />

would feature a pump bump, low<br />

pyramid, roll-overs, and a jersey<br />

barrier, blended into a roll-over<br />

finger, as well as bench seating<br />

and a picnic table. The existing<br />

concrete slabs would be resealed<br />

and the quarter-pipe replaced<br />

with a granite ledge and smaller<br />

half pipe.<br />

Said city council head of parks<br />

Andrew Rutledge: “Bishopdale<br />

Park is close to a number of<br />

schools and is very popular with<br />

local families. Improving the existing<br />

skate area will make it even<br />

more appealing to young people<br />

in the area and provide them<br />

There will be an opportunity to discuss the revamp plans<br />

for the Bishopdale Park skate area with city council staff on<br />

<strong>November</strong> 24 at the park between 11am and 2pm<br />

PLANS: The proposed upgrade of the Bishopdale Park skate<br />

area includes a new half-pipe and granite ledge, as well as<br />

bench seating and a picnic table.<br />

with some good challenges.”<br />

About 500 information leaflets<br />

have been delivered to nearby<br />

properties and key stakeholders<br />

last week. Suggestions for the<br />

design were collected from last<br />

year’s Bishopdale Skate Jam<br />

event.<br />

•Feedback on the plans<br />

can be made before<br />

Malawi visit next year<br />

•From page 1<br />

He also received the Greatest<br />

Individual Impact Award, for<br />

almost single-handedly raising<br />

$14,000 for World Vision.<br />

“These awards highlight my<br />

passion to help as well as the huge<br />

amount of work that the school<br />

has encouraged us to do over the<br />

years to support World Vision,”<br />

he said.<br />

Said Izaac on raising the<br />

$14,000: “I started to email celebrities<br />

across the globe ranging<br />

from Graham Norton, Ellen De-<br />

Generes, multiple different actors<br />

and celebrities overseas and also<br />

many famous New Zealanders.”<br />

Izaac did not get many responses<br />

but heard back from<br />

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern,<br />

Nico Porteus, some All Blacks<br />

and other New Zealand artists.<br />

From there, he had the idea to<br />

host an art auction, which raised<br />

$<strong>12</strong>,000, he then door-knocked<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

and approached family members,<br />

which raised another $2000.<br />

Next year, Izaac will travel to<br />

Malawi with four other World<br />

Vision Ambassadors and see<br />

where the funds from the 40hr<br />

famine will go.<br />

“This is a long way from home,<br />

making it an exciting adventure<br />

for myself and the other four<br />

ambassadors going on the trip. I<br />

feel excited but ready for the challenge,”<br />

he said.<br />

Once he returns from Malawi,<br />

he will visit schools across the<br />

country to assist with fundraising<br />

for World Vision, and he said<br />

one of his key goals is to increase<br />

participation in the famine across<br />

Christchurch.<br />

“I feel so privileged and blessed<br />

to be able to help World Vision<br />

with its global work and to be<br />

able to help it make a change is<br />

something that will stick with me<br />

forever,” he said.<br />

Wilson goes to<br />

As local MP, there’s nothing more<br />

satisfying than working alongside<br />

local residents in advocating<br />

for the important things in our<br />

community. At my over 60s’<br />

coffee morning in Belfast recently,<br />

Colleen and Frank raised<br />

concerns about young children<br />

crossing the railway line from<br />

Thompsons Road to get to Belfast<br />

School. I organised a meeting<br />

for them with the New Zealand<br />

Transport Agency (NZTA). Colleen<br />

and Frank were thrilled to hear<br />

that NZTA will build a crossing<br />

over the railway line with warning<br />

bells and an automatic gate, to be<br />

completed by the middle of next<br />

year. This will also help the elderly<br />

with mobility scooters to cross<br />

safely to get to the Northwood<br />

Supa Centre.<br />

I joined our Canterbury MPs in<br />

celebrating our Indian community<br />

at the Diwali Festival. The Festival<br />

of Lights is a great way for us<br />

to share in Indian culture and<br />

acknowledge the contribution of<br />

our migrants.<br />

With over 23 schools in the<br />

electorate, it’s a busy time with<br />

a number of school prizegivings<br />

being held. Last week I<br />

joined Kaiapoi High School in<br />

acknowledging their seniors at the<br />

end of year prizegiving. I enjoy<br />

these opportunities to engage<br />

with our young people.<br />

Last week saw the last of my<br />

over 60s’ coffee mornings for<br />

this year and a huge thank you<br />

to all who attended. It has been<br />

enormously valuable to me to<br />

hear your views.<br />

I wish everyone a great<br />

Canterbury Show Day. It’s a<br />

highlight on Canterbury’s calendar<br />

and many of us have great<br />

memories as children enjoying<br />

the rides, candyfloss and animals.<br />

Please do stop and say hello if<br />

Entertainer honoured with local hero award<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

KATHLEEN HOOD has spent 40<br />

years putting smiles on the faces of<br />

Christchurch’s elderly.<br />

The 86-year-old entertains<br />

residents at Elmswood Retirement<br />

Village, Bryndwr, and Middlepark<br />

Rest Home, Upper Riccarton, and<br />

has previously done so at The Princess<br />

Margaret Hospital.<br />

This volunteering work has<br />

earned her a Kiwibank New Zealand<br />

Local Hero of the Year Award,<br />

which she and other Christchurch<br />

local heroes will receive at a ceremony<br />

on December 3.<br />

Mrs Hood tells jokes, reads poetry<br />

and runs a quiz each time she<br />

visits retirement homes.<br />

She said this brings joy to their<br />

residents and the quizzes include<br />

historic questions, which bring back<br />

memories and often start nostalgic<br />

conversations between them.<br />

“It’s really good because the questions<br />

I ask are relevant to their age<br />

and their experiences in life. They<br />

do really enjoy it.”<br />

Mrs Hood said her favourite thing<br />

about what she does and the reason<br />

she has been doing it for so many<br />

years is it brings happiness to people<br />

who sometimes need it most.<br />

“The best thing for me is giving<br />

to these older people. Some of<br />

them have had very lonely lives<br />

and when they come into the rest<br />

home they’re a wee bit nervous.<br />

She said when she entertains<br />

residents “there’s a lot of laughter, I<br />

can even tell a few risque jokes and<br />

they enjoy all that.”<br />

Mrs Hood said not even health<br />

issues were able to stop her volunteering<br />

for long.<br />

“I did have two challenges with<br />

cancer but I have had surgery and<br />

I’m really fine now, everything’s all<br />

good.’’<br />

She said she was back in front<br />

of retirement home audiences “as<br />

soon as I could get back behind the<br />

wheel.”<br />

Mrs Hood is proud to receive a<br />

local hero award this year.<br />

“I never ever expected it and<br />

when it came everybody around<br />

me, my family and my friends<br />

were all saying well deserved. It’s<br />

very humbling and it will be to be<br />

among people who have done marvellous<br />

things in the community on<br />

the night of the awards.”<br />

But Mrs Hood said winning<br />

awards is not why she volunteers<br />

her time.<br />

“If you ask any volunteer, it’s not<br />

for accolades or recognition, you<br />

don’t do it for that, it’s just for the<br />

love of doing it, I suppose.”<br />

She hopes her efforts will inspire<br />

her children, grandchildren and<br />

great-grandchildren to volunteer in<br />

their communities.<br />

home, lies a park-like setting where children can<br />

roam, run, play cricket and kick a ball is a very rare<br />

treat these days.<br />

This renovated home is complete with modern<br />

which cleverly blend as a visual extension of the<br />

kitchen. Sun-drenched living spaces, with ranch<br />

Gold Real Estate Group Limited<br />

Licensed Agent REAA 2008<br />

One size and one shape definitely<br />

does not fit all. One weekend recently,<br />

I had the pleasure of joining a tour of<br />

architectural homes which championed<br />

the principles of energy awareness and<br />

conservation, amongst other things.<br />

Style over size was evident amongst all<br />

the individual and specific architectural<br />

signatures, as was the variation of<br />

spatial configurations, and this has<br />

caused me to reflect on the increasing<br />

popularity of smaller properties and<br />

the acceptance of different ways of<br />

doing things.<br />

Firstly, size. Not small, as in ‘let’s fit your entire<br />

life into a caravan’, but small as in compact,<br />

thoughtful and clever, is enjoying an increase in<br />

popularity throughout our region. The restraint<br />

required to ‘live smaller’ would be too much for<br />

me and it’s no secret that I have a maximalist<br />

rather than a minimalist approach, but I can<br />

definitely appreciate why this trend is gaining<br />

momentum nationally and internationally.<br />

Millennials wanting a chance to get onto the<br />

property ladder are considering alternatives<br />

to the types of properties their parents might<br />

have started with, and size features strongly in<br />

this equation, whilst retirees are wanting to turn<br />

things on their head and look to a similar lifestyle<br />

and property, but smaller, having been there and<br />

done that.<br />

One of the reasons for considering a smaller<br />

dwelling is obvious: energy efficiency. A smaller<br />

house should be easier to heat, and this flows<br />

The BIG trend<br />

of going SMALL<br />

directly on to a reduced cost. A smaller ecological<br />

footprint, helping both your pocket and our<br />

planet. Solar-powered options feature, as do<br />

passive heating methods based around a house’s<br />

orientation and construction. Excess materials,<br />

color choices and furniture are all pared back, and<br />

clever storage options become all-important.<br />

The other notable element in choosing to live<br />

like this is that your community and your city<br />

surroundings take on a whole new meaning, and<br />

with ‘intimate’ (my word for ‘tiny’!) garden spaces,<br />

you can see the merit in this. The park next-door<br />

acts as your garden and the city, your backyard –<br />

and potentially a scooter replaces your car.<br />

For me, it seems like the easiest time to make a<br />

decision to commit to this lifestyle would be when<br />

you first start out and don’t have much or later<br />

when you have so much that you think, ‘I now want<br />

less’. That middle period with kids, cars, bikes and<br />

all the other stuff that comes with life would make<br />

it too hard for some, but as the tour I’ve referred to<br />

has taught me, not everyone feels this way. Therein<br />

lies the beauty of the times we live in and the<br />

choices we have.<br />

One size certainly doesn’t fit all – nor is it expected<br />

too – and it just so happens that there are<br />

architects, builders, developers and designers<br />

thinking the same way. It makes for an engaging<br />

and interesting era.<br />

St Andrew’s music teacher honoured<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

DUNCAN FERGUSON has<br />

been teaching at St Andrew’s<br />

College for 10 years and last<br />

week he was named New<br />

Zealand’s Music Teacher of the<br />

Year.<br />

The head of music was in<br />

Wellington last week with a<br />

group of students on a field trip,<br />

and he said it was very special to<br />

have the students with him as he<br />

accepted the Tui award.<br />

Mr Ferguson plans to display<br />

it on his desk at school, and said<br />

he was very humbled to win the<br />

award.<br />

Said Mr Ferguson: “To even<br />

be nominated was special.<br />

While winning an award is no<br />

motivation for what I do, it is<br />

gratifying to see that the long<br />

hours and hard work I put in has<br />

been recognised at a national<br />

level.<br />

“My amazing students provide<br />

the biggest motivation to do a<br />

good job. I am lucky to be their<br />

teacher,” he said.<br />

Mr Ferguson was the only<br />

South Island finalist, with the<br />

others being Jane Egan, of<br />

Gisborne, and Auckland’s Sue<br />

Banham.<br />

At St Andrew’s, Mr Ferguson<br />

manages 30 co-curricular<br />

groups across all genres of<br />

‘My amazing students<br />

provide the biggest<br />

motivation to do a good<br />

job. I am lucky to be their<br />

teacher’ – Duncan Ferguson<br />

music, which more than 140<br />

students are involved in. He<br />

did not expect to win the award<br />

but was quietly confident in his<br />

chances.<br />

“If I didn’t win I would<br />

naturally have been<br />

disappointed, but at the same<br />

time still super proud that I was<br />

a finalist,” he said.<br />

Mr Ferguson said the award<br />

will not change the way he<br />

works or how his students and<br />

colleagues view him.<br />

“The main reason why I won<br />

the award is that I am constantly<br />

questioning my practice and<br />

figuring out new ways of better<br />

serving my students from year<br />

to year. That will continue to<br />

happen.<br />

“The work I do on a national<br />

level training teachers and<br />

providing them with resources<br />

will [also] continue as I want<br />

to see all young musicians and<br />

composers in New Zealand<br />

empowered by the music<br />

education system,” Mr Ferguson<br />

said.<br />

Concerns have been raised on<br />

the Bishopdale Community Group<br />

Facebook page after two thefts were<br />

reported last weekend.<br />

A woman had her handbag stolen<br />

from her home on Mooray Ave and<br />

$1000 was spent on her credit card<br />

at Bishopdale Village Mall.<br />

“This highlights people need to<br />

be constantly thinking about their<br />

personal safety. If we make it harder<br />

[for potential thieves], these events<br />

may be less likely to happen,” Senior<br />

Sergeant Appley said.<br />

A 16-year-old male also had his<br />

bike stolen by a group of four men<br />

thought to be in their late teens or<br />

early 20s. The men cut the young<br />

cyclist off in a silver sedan, then<br />

rugby tackled him off the bike<br />

before physically assaulting him and<br />

taking the bike. He was not seriously<br />

injured and was able to walk<br />

home to phone police.<br />

Senior Sergeant Appley was not<br />

aware of any increase in crime in<br />

the north-west, but said police will<br />

continue to closely monitor the area.<br />

IN CONCERT: Polly Lee and Chloe Jiang performing with the<br />

Girls show ‘poise and<br />

TWO YOUNG musicians got<br />

Big future for young filmmakers<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

FREYA CHAMPION had acted<br />

in one short film before her<br />

fellow Christchurch Girls’ High<br />

School classmates recruited her<br />

for their media studies project.<br />

But last week her talents were<br />

recognised at the Ara School<br />

Shorts Screen Festival, where she<br />

was named best actress.<br />

The film Lured was made by<br />

CGHS students Louise Kim and<br />

Georgie Baddeley, who created it<br />

in their media studies class.<br />

Freya played the leading role of<br />

Liz, a young woman investigating<br />

the sudden disappearance of<br />

her best friend.<br />

Louise, who lives in<br />

Halswell, wrote the<br />

script for the film<br />

after researching<br />

pseudo-religion<br />

and finding<br />

out about<br />

multiple<br />

historic<br />

cult-related<br />

murders.<br />

Lured<br />

was one of<br />

19 films<br />

showcased<br />

at the<br />

competition<br />

final at The<br />

Palms. The<br />

short films<br />

were screened<br />

at Reading Cinemas.<br />

Said Louise: “It was one of the<br />

most exciting moments of my<br />

life to have our film screened in<br />

an actual cinema and having an<br />

audience to watch it.”<br />

Freya was surprised to take out<br />

best actress, and said it was a real<br />

honour.<br />

Her passion for acting has<br />

flourished over the past few<br />

years as she has been involved<br />

in theatre sports and small<br />

productions.<br />

“As I have only starred in one<br />

other film, I wasn’t quite sure<br />

what would tick the boxes for<br />

the judges, so I was<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

pleasantly surprised to receive<br />

the award,” she said. The 18-yearold<br />

also has a passion for politics<br />

and earlier this year attended the<br />

Youth Parliament as the Youth<br />

MP for Christchurch Central<br />

Labour MP Duncan Webb. ​<br />

Freya said the highlight of<br />

being involved in the film was<br />

working with her two best<br />

friends.<br />

“Georgie and Louise had a<br />

great vision for the film, and<br />

because of our friendship, we<br />

were able to easily communicate<br />

ideas and this allowed us to film<br />

in a good environment,” she said.<br />

Next year, Freya, Georgie and<br />

Louise will go their separate<br />

ways to study, but will<br />

continue to develop their<br />

skills and passion in<br />

film.<br />

Basketball’s best to play in all-star game<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

THE BEST secondary school<br />

basketball players in Canterbury<br />

will get their chance to impress<br />

in respective boys and girls<br />

all-star games before the New<br />

Zealand Breakers game at<br />

Horncastle Arena next month.<br />

The Breakers will host the<br />

South East Melbourne Phoenix<br />

on December 20.<br />

Christ’s College’s Josh Book<br />

and Mason Whittaker, St Bede’s<br />

Walter Brown, Papanui’s Izzy<br />

Orr and St Andrew’s Mac<br />

Stodart will all take part in the<br />

games.<br />

The girls game will tip off at<br />

2.10pm and the boys game will<br />

tip off at 3.50pm followed by the<br />

Breakers and Phoenix at 7.30pm.<br />

The high school games come<br />

after the Thomson and Whelan<br />

Trophy season as well as strong<br />

national campaigns where<br />

Cashmere High School finished<br />

fourth in the boys competition<br />

and Christchurch Girls’ High<br />

School finished eighth in the<br />

girls’ grade.<br />

Organiser, Joe Hammond said<br />

the plan was to split the squads<br />

into two even teams to produce<br />

two even encounters.<br />

He said squads were picked<br />

by the top six high school boys<br />

coaches and former Canterbury<br />

Wildcats coach Lori McDaniel.<br />

“It’s been a couple of years<br />

since the game was held, but I<br />

SPORT<br />

think it’s a great way to recognise<br />

the effort and achievements of<br />

the players throughout the season,”<br />

Mr Hammond said.<br />

There are also plans to<br />

livestream the two games.<br />

“The Breakers have said the<br />

team will try to watch the concluding<br />

stages of the games so<br />

hopefully it will give the kids a<br />

big buzz.’’<br />

“ Since Mum’s been here,<br />

she’s just blossomed”<br />

From growing up in a big family in Christchurch to being happily married for 63 years, Alma’s had<br />

plenty of company throughout her whole life.<br />

So, when the option to move to a Summerset serviced apartment came up, Alma and daughter<br />

Maree were naturally a little nervous it might be a bit on the quiet side for her. But, since the move,<br />

they’ve discovered it’s been anything but quiet.<br />

“I don’t think you’d ever need to feel lonely here. It’s just like a big family and there’s always<br />

something going on,” remarks Alma.<br />

When she first arrived at her serviced apartment, Alma had her husband by her side. Sadly, he<br />

passed away shortly after due to on-going health issues. “I thought it might take her a little while to<br />

deal with the loss of dad and… the new surroundings, but it was quite amazing really how quickly<br />

she settled, and I think that was down to the staff,” recalls daughter Maree.<br />

Alma with Maree as a toddler<br />

While the move was a big decision, the whole family feel that Alma has “blossomed” since and<br />

has become more herself again.<br />

“ She’s involved herself in things that she hadn’t done for years, Choir. Exercising.<br />

She’s just taken it with both hands, made friends and it’s all been just amazing.”<br />

Maree and Alma both admit that the stigma of retirement living put them off for longer than it<br />

needed to. “I think mum was just so delighted when she came here and realised how welcoming<br />

and how well-run [the place was] and what care was here for her. I think it was an eye-opener, really.”<br />

Having Alma living at home with her would have been a dream for Maree, but with the reality of<br />

working all day, she worried her mum would be very bored. But Alma hasn’t had time for boredom<br />

at all since moving to Summerset. “There’s so much to keep you occupied. Music. Happy Hour, little<br />

outings. It’s a lovely place to be.”<br />

Alma also fills her time with a cheeky bit of cleaning, even though she doesn’t need to lift a finger.<br />

“I don’t think she leaves a lot for the staff to clean, but that’s mum,” laughs Maree.<br />

“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<br />

place like this. It’s just been a godsend.”<br />
