Birdlife concerns raised
over pathway proposal
• By Matt Slaughter
BIRDLIFE WILL be harmed if a
pathway is built along the western
edge of the Avon-Heathcote Ihutai
Estuary, groups say.
The city council may consider options
for an alternative route.
The Avon-Heathcote Estuary
Ihutai Trust and Redcliffs Residents
Association are opposing the city
council’s proposal to extend its 360
walking and cycle trail along the
estuary edge beside the Bromley
oxidation ponds.
Both groups have raised their
concerns with the Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board.
Estuary trust chairman Kit
Doudney said the estuary is home
to about 100 bird species and has
recently been made part of the East
Asian-Australasian Flyway. This
means migratory birds which use
the estuary, such as the bar-tailed
godwit are protected.
But Mr Doudney said constructing
the proposed pathway will put
godwits and other bird species in
jeopardy.
Said Mr Doudney: “The problem
with the pathway incurring into a
wildlife refuge is that the wildlife
suffers from incursion of humans
and often their companion animals
such as dogs and on occasions, in
this case, horses, on the estuary bed.

oxidation ponds will harm birdlife.

Mystery odour causing a stink
• By Matt Slaughter
A MYSTERIOUS odour
coming from a Cashmere
retirement village was reported
to Environment Canterbury 62
times last year.
The smell is believed to be
coming from the laundry of
Bupa Cashmere View Care

on Rose St.

Lauren Hamilton said ECan
only received four reports of an
odour people said was coming
from the retirement village in
2019.
However, in the same year,
ECan also trialled a web-based
tool to report odours in the area
and there were 58 reports.

“We continue to engage with

This is not the first time residents

odour.
Said Ms Hamilton: “In

objectionable odours beyond the
property boundary.’’
She said there has been no
breach of this notice since.

Veterinary practice
Brain tumour in a cat
This is a remarkable story where an 13
year old Norwegian Forest cat “ Sashenka”
was diagnosed via CT imaging of having
a brain tumour, “Meningioma” and
successfully had surgery two weeks ago
in a specialist hospital in Auckland to
remove the tumour. Never in 30 years
of being a vet have I had a client willing
to proceed to surgery to remove a brain
tumour in their pet, plus she survived and
is thriving. She’s one very lucky cat with
incredibly caring owners who wanted the
best possible outcome for their precious
cat.
Sashenka first presented just before
Christmas being a bit “off” - more
clingy, vocalising more, seeming to
have trouble going up and down stairs,
difficulty navigating obstacles, seeming
disorientated, scratching the wooden
floor boards, pacing, kneading and off
balance sometimes. She was a cat always
up a tree and she stopped doing this.
She wasn’t chasing her treats and started
walking in circles. She was never seen
seizuring though and continued eating.
We examined Sashenka and ran an
extensive array of blood and urine tests,
X-rays and ultrasound examinations. We
saw her 15 times in about three weeks.
All testing was basically normal. We tried
different medications and she stayed in
the hospital on IV fluids but we couldn’t
get a of handle on her diagnosis and
there was no improvement at home. Her
owner saw a different Sashenka than the
cat we saw at the clinic.
We consulted the services of Feline
consultants and specialists but she was
deteriorating quickly, having difficulty
eating and appeared dull and not
responsive to her owners at times. Steroid
injections showed improvement but her
bizarre behaviours did wax and wane
with her worse clinical symptom being
close to comatosed. We decided to CT
Sashenka to find out what was really
going on. We offer MRI (Forte Health)
and CT (Pacific Radiology at Lincoln)
at McMaster & Heap. The patients are
sedated and the images taken from
very fancy expensive computors. It’s
painless for the pet and can give us many
answers that other means of testing
can’t deliver. The radiologist diagnosed
Sashenka with a large intracranial brain
lesion , most probably a meningioma.
Other differentials included a glioma or
astrocytoma.
We consulted an experienced surgical
team in Auckland who were keen to take
over her case. After lengthy discussions
with the owners it was decided to push
forward with brain surgery, so Sashenka
and her devoted owners headed to
Auckland. Brain surgery isn’t a walk in the
park and more tests had to be carried
out on Sashenka. She was getting very
used to needles now and thermometers??
She had an MRI before the surgery and a
CT after the surgery to confirm position
of the titanium screws used to secure
her cranium back in place. She received
a blood transfusion on the day of the
surgery and had an oesophageal feeding
tube placed so that we were able to
supply her nutritionally post surgery, in
case she didn’t feel like eating. Once the
tumour was removed it measured 2.6cm x
3cm x 1.2cm - quite sizeable. She made an
excellent recovery from her anaesthetic
and stayed in the specialist hospital to be
closely monitored for a few days.
She had very specific discharge
instructions including cage confinement
for four weeks (an impossible requirement
for Sashenka), physiotherapy on her
back muscles and legs and medications
including steroids, pain relief and
antibiotics. Catherine has seen her
recently and she appears to be doing
really well - she even escaped her cage
and was seen running up a tree - her
favourite place to be, a birds eye view of
life.
Day 1 after the surgery.
The tumour may grow back and
Catherine is exploring chemotherapy
options but for now Sashenka has her full,
active life back again which is great news
for everybody. She may pave the way in
the future for other patients with brain
tumours. Thank you to Sashenkas mum
and dad for allowing me to write this
article on her.

More police to
respond
to break-ins
• By Matt Slaughter
POLICE WILL increase
patrols across south
Christchurch after a spike
in the number of vehicles
being broken into.
Detective Senior Sergeant
Damon Wells said
vehicle break-ins have
been increasing throughout
this area, particularly
in Halswell but did not say
by how much.
“We don’t have statistics
available at this time but
anecdotally have seen an
increase.”
Detective Senior Sergeant
Wells did not say
how many police officers
will be patrolling the areas
or how many hours they
will devote a week.
“For operational
reasons, we’re not able to
share specific detail on
police resourcing,” he
said.
Halswell Residents’ Association
secretary David
Hawke said he is not
aware of the recent spike
in vehicle break-ins in the
area but it is good police
are responding to this if it
is an issue.
Said Mr Hawke: “I guess
from a general statement,
our expectation is that
they [police] respond to
the level of the problem.”
Mr Hawke hopes increased
patrols will also
lead to police reducing
the number of speeding
vehicles driving through
Halswell, which the
residents’ association has

raised as a concern in the
past.
“I guess the interest
we’ve had more recently
was more police patrols to
enforce speed limits.”
He said police appeared
to be doing a good job
of slowing down drivers
since speed was raised as
a concern by the association.
He believes increased
patrols could help reduce
speeding in the area even
further.
Said Detective Senior
Sergeant Wells: “Police
patrolling in the area
will perform a number of
tasks, including providing
prevention advice and responding
to any offending
that takes place.”
Meanwhile, police
would like to remind
residents of measures they
can take to make their
vehicle less appealing to
thieves.
Police ask residents to
help deter burglars by
not leaving valuables or
documents with personal
information in vehicles,
parking in well-lit areas,
locking vehicles and taking
keys with them.
Boats or vehicles should
be disabled so they can’t
be moved or towed away
and locked in secure
garages. People are also
urged to keep in contact
with neighbours.
Tradies are encouraged
to get their tools engraved
with their driver licence
number and secure them
inside vehicles with chains
and padlocks.

Another board decision delayed
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
HALSWELL-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board chairman
Mike Mora has told his fellow

“We absolutely welcome the

Said Redcliffs Residents
Association secretary Pat
McIntosh: “It would be a very
nice facility for people to be
able to walk around the estuary

nature reserve and it’s incredibly
important for the wildlife at
the estuary that they actually

But board member Mark

He said: “I actually find that a
slight bit offensive, Mr Chair, being
told to grow something and

Mr Mora responded “fair

He later said while it was probably

Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board said the
proposed pathway “is in
breach of local, national and
international protections.
“This area – the oxidation
ponds, Linwood paddocks,
Sandy Point and the adjacent
shoreline – is a crucial refuge for
a large variety of birds, including
endangered migratory birds and
rare New Zealand species. It is
the last bastion of estuary edge
that does not allow easy access by
humans and dogs, and the only
remaining mainly undisturbed
area for waterfowl roosting in the
what I think”.
The comments were after
Mr Peters raised concerns the
entirety of Bronco Drive had not
been consulted on the no stopping
restrictions.
City council traffic engineer
Barry Hayes said generally he
goes about three properties beyond
the extent of the proposal
and he contacted the Halswell
Residents’ Association.
But Mr Peters put forward
an amendment for the decision
estuary,” the motion said.
Said city council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge: An Ecological
Impact Assessment is under way
to report on how the pathway
would impact on the ecological
values of the site (primarily
birdlife and lizards) and what
the overall impacts would be if
a range of potential mitigation
measures were put in place.
“Following further investigations
and cost estimates, the
Council may be asked to consider

over the no stopping restrictions
to be delayed until further
consultation had been held with
all residents of Bronco Drive and
Stallion Ave.
Already, the board had voted
to delay making a decision on
a safety upgrade to the Ilam/
Middleton/Riccarton Rd intersection.
“I don’t want to be obstructive
but I want to ensure we have got
the consultation absolutely correct
and right.
Because the details of the pathway
haven’t been decided, the
construction costs are not yet
known,” he said.
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member Tim
Lindley, who is a member of the
estuary trust, didn’t speak for
the whole board but believes the
pathway should not go-ahead
close to the estuary. Instead, he
said there are grass areas further
away, which would be more
suitable.
He said he hopes the board will
discuss the community’s concerns
about the proposal this year and
decide on the next step.
The fact we had seen the surprise
on Colligan St, I want to make
sure we don’t sneak up on people
through consultation and we get
it right,” Mr Peters said.
Concerns were raised by
residents on Colligan St when
the board made a decision to
cut parking on their street to
make way for the weekly rubbish
collection truck without their
knowledge.
The vote on the amendment
drew a tie with board members
Helen Broughton, Ms Mora, Mr
Peters and city councillor Catherine
Chu voting for.
Mr Mora, board member
Gamal Fouda, city councillor
Jimmy Chen voted against while
board member Andrei Moore
abstained.
A second vote was called after
further questions with all board
members voting the same except
for Mr Moore – who voted against
the decision being delayed.
Transports operations manager
Steffan Thomas said the new
report will recommend the same
proposal as previously reported
on but will include any new
submissions following additional
consultation.
Previously staff consulted
30 properties in total – an
additional 10 properties will
receive further consultation.

Idle locomotive has family fuming
• By Louis Day
HAVING A locomotive’s engine
running next to your house at
the crack of dawn would be a
nightmare for most people.
For Saman Farahani, it is a
harsh reality he and his family
face up to three times a week.
His home on Lowe St in
Addington sits right next to the
railway.
Mr Farahani said over the
past three months a train would
occasionally stop between 6am
and 6.30am and the locomotive’s
engine would be idling outside
the house.
He said the combination of the
noise and the shaking from the
engine would wake up himself,
his wife Sara and three-monthold
daughter.
He also said the smell of
fumes fills up his house to the
point where he cannot stop
coughing.
“First thing when I wake up, I
cough because the house is full
of the smell of gas,” he said.
Mr Farahani said he was
concerned for the health of his
daughter.
He said moving was not
an option for him, with his
tenancy contract at the
property not running out
until October.
“The driver will stop outside

the house and the whole house
will start shaking and it will be so
loud you won’t be able to sleep.
“I’m just asking for a bit of
respect.”
Mr Farahani said he had
pleaded with the driver on
numerous occasions park the
locomotive further along the
railway line where there are no
houses, but was ignored.
KiwiRail acting South Island
general manager of operations
Mark Heissenbuttel said it
apologised for the disturbance
and was investigating how to
solve the issue as quickly as
possible.
“KiwiRail endeavours to be
a good neighbour to those who
live alongside the rail corridor,”
he said.
“Occasionally residents raise
issues like this with us and wherever
possible we try to adjust
our operations to remove the
nuisance.”
Community
boards to get
public input
• By Louis Day
THE PUBLIC will have a say
on the priorities of community
boards for the first time.
The city council is publicly
consulting on the three-year plans
of community boards which set
out their priorities for local communities.
City council head of support,
governance and partnerships John
Filsell said the idea behind the
initiative was to get community
feedback in order to inform board
priorities.
These plans will guide the
boards’ decisions on local activities,
projects and facilities and advocacy
on behalf of communities.
Each plan will identify three
priorities per ward area, so the
Burwood-Coastal Community
Board for example which comprises
of two wards will have six
priorities. Burwood-Coastal is the
only board to have its plan out for
consultation at this stage. It has
proposed prioritising service delivery
at QEII Recreation and Sport
Centre, planning for an additional
community facility in Burwood,
the transformation of the red zone
and improving roading.
Mr Filsell said all boards would
have their plans out for public
consultation until early March.

St Mark’s, Heathcote Valley
School, Banks Avenue School,
St Albans Catholic School, West
Rolleston, West Eyreton, West
Melton, Burnside Primary and
Diamond Harbour School are
taking part in the festival, creating
display gardens that reflect
their values and surroundings.
It will be held in the Botanic
Gardens from March 20-22.
The gardens have been growing
since late last year, but extra work
was needed over the holidays.
Said St Mark’s teacher Liz
Coster: “The importance of caring
for our community through
sustainable practices will be
reflected in the St Mark’s garden
entry at the Grow Ōtautahi Garden
Show.”
Grow Ō Tautahi festival director
Sandi MacRae said school kids
will be on-site during the festival
to talk to visitors about their gardens
and what they represent.
“When we were planning the
Festival, we were clear it had

Garden Festival.
to reflect local people and local
ideas. It has been fantastic to get
so many local primary schools
involved to show off their gardening
skills in creations that
reflect their values.
“We’re working closely with
the schools to support their displays,
but these are all their own
creations and it’s their hard work
that has gone in to producing the
exhibits,” she said.
The school garden creations
will include an edible salad bowl,
a celebration of native plants, a
focus on wellness, a reflection
on life in the red zone and many
more ideas.
Programme warns of
dangers of speeding
THE CRASH Bash road safety
programme being performed
across Canterbury schools over
the next few weeks will aim to
make teenagers aware of the
dangers of speeding.
The performance is targeted at
year 11-13 students and will tour
about 30 schools during term
one including Cashmere High
School, Hillmorton HighSchool
and Rudolf Steiner School.
Crash Bash is an interactive
stage performance that tours
secondary schools, spreading the
message to young people about
the importance of making safe
choices when driving.
This year’s performance,
What’s the Rush? is going to
focus on intersection safety and
the risks of speed.
Said city council transport
operations manager Steffan
Thomas: “Speed determines
both the likelihood of a crash
occurring and the severity of
the outcome. Regardless of what
causes a crash, whether people
walk away or are carried away
will depend on the speed their
vehicles are travelling.
DANGER: Interactive performance Crash Bash will aim to
discourage teenagers from speeding. PHOTO: GETTY
“We want young people to
be aware of the risks that come
with driving too fast and to
understand that the choices
they make when they get
behind the wheel of a car have
consequences – potentially
life-changing consequences,’’
Mr Thomas said.
Mr Thomas said drivers on
a restricted licence are seven
times more likely to be involved
in a crash resulting in a fatal
or serious injury than other
drivers.
SOUTHERN VIEW
“Data also shows that young
restricted drivers are more at risk
of having a serious crash in the
first six to 12 months of driving
solo on their restricted licence
that an at any other time in their
lives,” he said.
Crash Bash is led by the city
council, with funding support
from the New Zealand Transport
Agency.
The performance is developed
by the Court Theatre in
collaboration with Canterbury
Police.

Currently studying:

I've been running a bespoke software development company in
Christchurch since the end of 2018. One of my biggest struggles has always
been to find reliable and talented developers to help me with projects when
things get busy. I originally reached out to the team at Vision College to do
some mentoring. I mentioned my struggles and they put me in contact with
one of their students, Declan.
Declan has been such a help, his ability to be productive right away and the
ease in which he picked up new concepts was impressive. It really is a
testament to the fact that vision college isn't just teaching specific
technologies and theory, but rather empowering their students to become
lifelong learners. In the software development industry, you never stop
learning. There is always something new and better,
and Declan has really proven himself more than capable of keeping up. I
look forward to a long term relationship with Vision College and am already
talking to another student
there to help more.

BUSY: Woolston Boxing coach Holly Sullivan will run the New
Zealand Golden Gloves in June for the first time in six years.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Woolston to hold
NZ Golden Gloves
• By Jacob Page
SPORT
THE WOOLSTON Boxing
Club will host the New Zealand
Golden Gloves event on June 27.
The national tournament is
seen as one of the pinnacle events
on the amateur boxing calendar
each year.
Woolston Boxing Club coach
and tournament organiser Holly
Sullivan said she wanted to host
the event after seeing how successful
it was in Rotorua last year.
“We hosted it back in 2014 and I
thought it was time we did it again.
“Rotorua had 40 bouts but
that’s with it being easier for the
North Island boxers to travel to
it so if I got 75 per cent of that I
would be really happy.
She said ideally each weight class
would have two South Island boxers
and two North Island boxers
who would compete for the right to
be called New Zealand No 1.
It will be a busy year for the
sport in the area with the club
hosting the South Island novice
championships in the lead-up to
the big event on March 21 and 22.
Sullivan said it would be her
10th time running the South
Island novice tournament which
was Woolston’s traditional annual
event.
“It is certainly going to be a
busy time but it is exciting.”
Both events will be held at the
Woolston Club.
Record-breaking effort
for cancer fundraiser
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’
High School’s rowing team
has set a new world record and
raised more than $22,000 for
Leukaemia and Blood Cancer
New Zealand in the process.
Ed Lopas, a member of the
school’s rowing team, was
diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma
– a form of blood cancer
– last year. It was only fitting that
the 16-year-old had the honour
of finishing the last stint of the
successful world record attempt
last Tuesday. The team of 61 rowers
set a new world record for the
longest continual team erg (rowing
machine) by a group aged
under-19. Their time of 145hr
10min smashed the previous
record of 96hr.
“It was pretty special having
everyone cheer me on to the finish,”
said Lopas.
The team travelled a total
distance of 1937km. On a map,
their travels took them from
school, north to Blenheim, west
to Greymouth, south to Queenstown,
east to Dunedin and up
SH1 back to school.
The school’s rowing manager
Ricardo De Sousa said he’s been
blown away by the team’s commitment
to the record-breaking
achievement.
“The boys have been absolutely
incredible. We thought it would
be a bit of a headache trying to get

boys on the egg at silly hours of
the morning. It’s not the most fun
thing to be on and the boys tend to
shy away from it, but they wanted
to do it for Ed,” said De Sousa.
Senior rowers did shifts of
90min with some of the movies
doing shifts between 30-45min.
The team began the world record
big on February 5 and had
surpassed the previous world
record by the following Sunday
afternoon.
Ed was diagnosed with
Hodgkin’s lymphoma in July last
year.
After five months of successful
chemotherapy, Ed was cleared to
start physical activity again and
hopes to row at the Maadi Cup
regatta on Lake Ruataniwha near
Twizel next month.
He’s not one to gossip but....
No one is recognised as knowing more about Hollywood than
celebrity journalist David Hartnell MNZM.
He’s spent a lifetime reporting on Hollywood’s scandals of
the rich and famous and counts a handful of celebrities as
lifelong friends.
Tuesday 25 February, 10am, is your chance to meet David and get the inside
scoop on some of the outrageous gossip he can’t print in his columns.
This time his lips will not be sealed!

No more beeting around the bush
• By Ian Knott
Beetroot deserves so
much more than being
dumped from a can onto
a green salad. Packed
with essential nutrients,
this vibrant vegetable is a
great source of fibre, folate,
manganese, potassium,
iron, and vitamin C
Beetroot and halloumi
sliders with chilli jam
Serves 4
Ingredients
400g tin chickpeas, rinsed and
drained
1 tsp ground cumin
1-2 hot green chillis, finely
chopped
250g raw beetroot, peeled and
grated (wear gloves to avoid
staining your hands)
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
50g fresh wholemeal
breadcrumbs
1 egg
olive oil
Halloumi 1 slice per slider
Handful of rocket
8 or 12 small buns (brioche if you
can get them), split and cut side
toasted
Chilli jam to serve
Directions
Put the chickpeas in a bowl
and mash them roughly, add
the cumin and chilli and mash
again. Add the beetroot, parsley,
breadcrumbs, egg and plenty of
seasoning. Mix well and form into
8 or 12 small patties.
Heat about 1cm of oil in a
frying pan and fry the patties on
each side until they are crisp and
brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
Fry the halloumi briefly until it
starts to brown a little. Put a few
rocket leaves on the base of each
bun, add a patty and a slice of
halloumi followed by a spoon
of chilli jam then put the lid on.
A cocktail stick will hold the lot
together. Serve 2 or 3 per person.
Roast beetroot soup with
caramelised onion and blue
cheese toast
Serves 6
Ingredients
1kg beetroots, topped, tailed,
scrubbed clean and cut into large
pieces
1 red onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic
½ a small bunch of thyme, plus a
few leaves
500ml vegetable stock
100ml crème fraîche
½ lemon, juiced
For the toast
3 slices sourdough, cut in half
4 Tbsp caramelised onion
chutney
150g blue cheese
handful of walnuts, roughly
chopped
Directions
Heat the oven to 200 deg C
(180 deg C fan forced). Put the
beetroots, red onion and garlic
into a roasting tin, pour in 150ml
of water, season well and scatter
over the thyme. Cover with a
double layer of foil and put into
the oven for 1hr 15min or until
the beetroots are very tender to
the point of a knife.
Remove the foil, peel the
beetroots and discard the skin,
then chop into small pieces. Put
into a pan with the onion, garlic
and vegetable stock, bring to the
boil then use a hand blender to
whizz until completely smooth,
or ladle into a blender and whizz.
Season, then stir in the crème
fraîche and lemon juice, and
whizz again. Keep warm.
Heat the grill to high. Put the
bread pieces onto a baking tray
and toast on either side. Spread
each piece with the chutney and
then add a piece of blue cheese,
some thyme leaves and walnuts.
Grill until melted.
Spoon the soup into bowls and
top with the toast.
