At nine-years-old, the 

Middleton Grange pupil did 

his first 40hr famine because 

his school was doing it and he 

wanted to get involved. 

Now, the 18-year-old 

Halswell resident has been 

named as a World Vision 

Ambassador for his dedication 

to the organisation. 

Izaac was presented with one 

of the most prestigious World 

‘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’ 

– Izaac Wilson 

Vision awards, the Spirit of 

Dulcie award, for his desire and 

motivation to make a change in 

the world.

Police use 

‘covert’ 

operations 

in bid to 

bag window 

smashers 


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 

your views to claire.booker@starmedia.kiwi 

Board chair goes to Norrish 


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 

meeting. 

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. 

In Brief 

FIREARMS COLLECTION 

Prohibited firearms and parts 

can be taken to police-operated

be no extension to this date. 

Prohibited firearms or parts 

must be handed in before this 

date. Anyone prosecuted will 

lose their firearms and face 

a penalty of up to five years 

imprisonment. 

SPEED LIMITS IN PLACE 

The new 30km/h signs are 

in place near the Northlands 

Shopping Centre. The signs were 

installed last week on Sisson 

Dr, Langdons Rd, Restell St and

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.

Malawi visit next year 

•From page 1 

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 


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. 

HUMANITARIAN: 

When Izaac 

Wilson goes to 

Malawi next year, 

he will witness 

first-hand the 

work World 

Vision does, 

such as helping 

communities 

access clean 

water.

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 


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 

‘My amazing students 

provide the biggest 

motivation to do a good 

job. I am lucky to be their 

teacher’ – Duncan Ferguson 

music, which more than 140 

students are involved in. He 

did not expect to win the award 

but was quietly confident in his 

chances. 

“If I didn’t win I would 

naturally have been 

disappointed, but at the same 

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 


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 


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 

left) Connie 

Fitzgerald, Anna 

Champion, 

Louise Kim, 

Freya Champion 

and Georgie 

Baddeley

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.’’

“ 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.

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.”
