Harri runs
with heart
Abel Tasman ‘track’ now in his sights
• By Bea Gooding
SIX-YEAR-OLD Harri Brown doesn’t let
anything break his stride, even if it means
living with a congenital heart defect.
Harri was diagnosed with critical
aortic stenosis shortly after birth. But his
keen interest in running grew immensely,
exceeding all expectations on how much
his little heart could take.
He has now set himself a new
challenge: Running a distance equivalent
to the length of the Abel Tasman track,
covering 60km over a six-week period.
The Big Strides for Brave Hearts is an
initiative by Heart Kids New Zealand
which challenges people to walk, run,
bike or scooter a chosen distance while
raising money for heart families in Canterbury.
Parents Rod and Melanie Brown said
Harri jumped at the chance to take part.
“He loves to help people and he has a
lot of empathy. He knows this is giving
back to other heart kids,” said Mr Brown.
“So far nothing affects his running,
he always seems to be full of energy. It’s
pretty surreal, we never thought he could
go running like that.”
In May, Harri started to run about 5km
a day at various locations in Christchurch,
including at Hagley Park for the fundraiser
– approved by his cardiologist.
Prior to the challenge, Mr Brown was
baffled to learn that his then 5-year-old
could run the 5km Hagley Park course in
23min 27sec.
Harri chose the Abel Tasman distance
because he had physically run part of the
track before.
During a walk with his family last
Christmas, he wanted to run the rest of the
way back to the car park which ended up
covering almost 9km. • Turn to page 2

FORMER All Black Brian
Molloy might be closing in on
90, but he has a cupboard full
of new writing projects, based
around his career in the world of
plants.
The Ngaio Marsh Retirement
Village in Papanui resident has
worn many hats in his life, but
conserving the New Zealand
high country remains a top
priority
During the Covid-19
lockdown, he kept himself busy
continuing to write about his
main field of expertise, even
publishing a new scientific paper
in the last year.
Brian was a director and high
country field representative at
the QEII National Trust, and he
said there was still a great deal
of work to do in terms of the
conservation of New Zealand’s
high country.
“The QEII Trust was set up to
help farmers protect values that
they thought were wonderful
and which people like me, with
expertise, could tell them that
‘yes, that is an amazing thing.’”
The trust works in partnership
with New Zealand landholders
to protect and help manage
natural and cultural features on
their properties.
Because of his involvement

continues to do what he can to help conserve New Zealand
high country. (Inset) Brian toured Australia with the All Blacks in

with the trust, he has also met
with Prince William and Queen
Elizabeth II, and in 2018 he was
seated between Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle at another
Royal engagement in New
Zealand.
He previously worked for the
Department of Agriculture,
the Department of Scientific
and Industrial Research and
Landcare Research and has a
43-year relationship with the
Riccarton Bush Trust.
Brian has had plants named
after him, including the Cook

Strait kowhai (Sophora molloyi)
and the hidden spider orchid,
(Molloybas cryptanthus).
But the rare Marlborough
Rock Daisy was a clear favourite,
he said.
“What makes this daisy
unique is that unlike other New
Zealand rock daisies, its stems
and buds are red.”
He was also an accomplished
sportsman, having toured
Australia with the All Blacks in
1957.
However, he said his
favourite team he was a part
of was the New Zealand
Universities team which faced
the Springboks in 1956, beating
them 22-15.

‘The Anatomy of
Melancholy
Part III: Lost & Found’
Simon van der Sluijs is an artist of Dutch descent and traditional painting
and drawing training. His themes are deeply personal, unconventional, dark,
humorous and disturbing. Three years ago Simon van der Sluijs began his trilogy
exhibition series ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’.
Part I – Identity 2018, Part II – Dissectum 2019 and finally Part III – Lost & Found
June 2020.
Large charcoal drawings challenge with their strong emotional content yet have
a stillness which stops the viewer in their tracks. ‘Journal of Loss’ - 40 small
monochromatic watercolours is a project in itself and acts as a diary of Simon’s
thought process.
Drawings and watercolours show the emotional side of ‘losing and finding’; the
loss of innocence or youth, the loss of those we love and the process of coping.
Mixed media dogs varying in size from the very large to the very small. We are
not sure if they are lost or found. Each dog has its own narrative, but together
they remind us of unconditional love, and that they too can understand loss.
Simon is a multi-disciplinary artist. His work is often metaphorical and he
continues to look inward and reach into his past to find an existential language
we can all find ourselves in.

Beverley loves the kind atmosphere of village life
Beverley says living at
Ngaio Marsh Retirement
Village offers a superb lifestyle
and she has loved making
friends with fellow residents
who form such a positive and
interesting group of people.
She says it has been great
that during the COVID-19 alert
levels the village community
has continued to thrive. She
initiated walks with a couple
of residents during what was
a lovely extended summerearly
autumn period. “People
got out of their houses,
walked sat and talked, it’s
been a lovely atmosphere.”
Ryman Healthcare’s
COVID-19 response began in
late January with restricted
visits to villages for people
who had travelled to affected
areas overseas.
Ryman’s aim has been to
keep the virus out, protect
those residents in care who
were most vulnerable to the
virus, and create safe havens
for residents.
Everyone gets on well,
and staff are on hand to help
newcomers’ join in the fun,
Beverley says. During her
five years at the Papanui
village she has watched
the community grow from
strength to strength. Everyone
is welcomed, and she well
remembers her own first
venture to social drinks.
“The first time I went
down to Happy Hour, you’re
feeling nervous… then I went
to one of the rooms and there
was a massive poster there,
and it said on the poster:
‘always be kind’.
“And I would say, I’ve seen
that kindness so much at Ngaio
Marsh. I believe that they are
always kind. It’s a lovely, lovely
place to live.”
Residents have enjoyed
keeping on the move with
hallway exercise classes and
activities like hallway bingo,
as well as getting out for some
fresh air. When it comes to
the village swimming pool,
Beverley says she loves being
able to swim, joking she is
‘Esther Williams’.
Beverley was brought up in
her family home in Sockburn,
“six miles from the square”,
when it was more of a rural
area with farms devoted to
horse racing at the nearby
Riccarton Racecourse.
She later worked helping in
the field of biochemistry at
Christchurch Hospital.
She loves the fact that
Ngaio Marsh has some nearby
fields and that she lives in a
townhouse that has an aspect
onto Grants Road. Her home
has some large pieces of
artwork on the walls, and she
has plenty of room to display
photos of her family.
As COVID-19 emerged
and the country went into
lockdown, staff helped rollout
Zoom to more than 3,800
devices, so that residents and
their loved ones could talk.
Beverley thought the
pandemic has drawn the
village closer “We’ve learnt
a lot about the villagers and
our village, which has been
really good.”
Beverley moved into
the village from nearby
Beverley enjoys life in her townhouse at Ryman Healthcare’s Ngaio Marsh village.
Bishopdale following the
death of her husband. She has
sons living in Christchurch,
Wellington and another
that has worked on oil rigs
around the world. She initially
visited Ngaio Marsh with her
sister-in-law.
“We came here one day to
a presentation on diabetes,
I put my name down on the
waiting list, and when we
were driving out we passed
my townhouse and I said to
my sister-in-law; ‘that’s the
townhouse I’m having.’ Six
weeks later Marie (the sales
advisor) rang and said the
townhouse is for sale, are
you interested?
“I said I’m not interested,
I’m having it!”
Staff at the village
have always been kindhearted,
and never more
so than during the period of
COVID-19, she says. “I’m
going to cry because
we have been treated
exceptionally. We’ve had our

goodie bags, we’ve had
Happy Hour bags, we’ve had
grocery orders,” she says
During COVID-19 alert
levels, residents have
remained upbeat and
commented on how well
they’ve been cared for.
Sales Advisor Marie
Kyle-Stevenson says now
is a great time to come
into the village to take a look
at the available townhouses.
Ryman’s Peace of Mind guarantees provide a little certainty
in your retirement. Our affordable base weekly fee is fixed for life*,
the deferred management fee is capped at 20 percent, one of the
lowest around, and villages provide independent and assisted living,
plus a range of care options. It’s just some of the ways we’re

Call to return overdue books
MORE THAN 120,000 books
are back on Christchurch City
Libraries shelves in the first week
after reopening.
However, a significant number
of the loans prior to the lockdown
period remained outstanding.
The city council head of libraries
and information Carolyn
Robertson said customers would
not face any fines over postlockdown
overdue books if they
are back by June 15.
“We are asking people to check
around their homes for any
books or other library items that
may have been forgotten while
our libraries have been closed to
the public,” said Ms Robertson.
“Thousands of items have
already been returned in our first
week, and we are thrilled with
the response to our reopening.
“We have extended the loan
period for all of those outstanding
items due from March 22 to
June 15. However, there will be
fines for any late returns from
June 16.”
During the lockdown period,
more than 223,000 items were
on loan from Christchurch City
Libraries.
In the first week following the
reopening to the public, customers
returned 54 per cent of the
outstanding items and 446 new

members joined the library.
“We usually see a rush of borrowers
just before the Queen’s
Birthday holiday as readers check
out books for the long weekend,”
Ms Robertson said.
“We thought it was timely to
remind people to return items as
they picked up their new books.”
After an initial flurry of activity,
there are now more items
being issued than returned.
In the first week back, South
proved the busiest library with
14,093 items issued, followed by
Fendalton (9055) and Tūranga
(8022). In tandem, they recorded
the most returns.
In total, 2382 people joined the
library between March 24 and
May 18, more than double the
normal number.
During April, library members
borrowed 74,686 eBooks and
eAudiobooks, compared with
40,746 in the corresponding
period last year.
Arbor Day
returns
this week
• By Bea Gooding
VOLUNTEERS ARE invited to
the Papanui Bush to help plant
native vegetation this week.
Arbor Day is held every year
on June 5 to draw attention to the
importance of trees and was usually
celebrated with a planting day
at parks around the city.
The focus of the day usually
encouraged people to plant native
trees, but maintenance work of
the area was also included.
Papanui-Innes Community
Board chairwoman Emma Norrish
said this was the third year
the planting day had run and it
typically had good numbers.
She was expecting a smaller
turn out this year to comply with
alert level 2 public gathering
restrictions.
People were encouraged to
bring their own gardening gloves,
spades and morning tea.
Due to contact tracing,
registrations were essential prior
to the event and can be completed

ON THE ROAD: Two organists will soon tour Canterbury aged
care facilities in self-contained trucks, providing contactless
concerts.
Musicians on the road for seniors
• By Bea Gooding
TWO ORGANISTS will soon
play at Canterbury rest homes
providing free concerts for
residents and staff alike.
The From Us with Aroha
concert tour will start in early
June, where passionate musicians
Mark Patterson and Dr
Kemp English will be serenading
residents at retirement villages
and palliative care homes nationwide.
While Patterson tours facilities
across the South Island, English
will make his way around the
North Island – both in selfcontained
trucks with enough
sound equipment to power a
small festival.
“We’ll be on the road for a
month, visiting about 180 rest
homes,” said Patterson.
“We wanted to bring something
that can give them a smile
during this frustrating time.’’
A givealittle page has
been set up to get the wheels
rolling, with an aim of raising
$200,000 towards tour-related
costs such as equipment and
truck hire.
By partnering with Age
Concern Canterbury, any excess
money raised over their goal will
go towards the charity.
As the rest of New Zealand
enjoyed freedom post-lockdown,
many in aged care facilities were
still under strict protocols.
Just because restrictions had
eased around the country, people
“shouldn’t care any less” about
older New Zealanders and the
staff who looked after them,
especially for those who chose
to stay at facilities over the lockdown.
Said Patterson: “Our elder
family are one of the most
important people in our community,
they deserve love and
respect – we wouldn’t be here
without them.”

Petition gets pump
track installed
A TEMPORARY pump track
has been installed in Shirley
following a 12-year-old’s petition
to provide one for the area.
Shannon Smith presented the
petition to the Papanui-Innes
Community Board in 2018,
asking to install a track at the
Shirley Community Reserve.
The 48m relocatable track features
bumps and bends suitable
for primary and intermediateage
riders, skateboarders, scooter
riders and roller skaters.
His determination resulted in
the track’s opening, therefore
Shannon and his family were the
first to wheel into action.
Community board chairwoman
Emma Norrish said the new
pump track provided an active
outdoor option for youngsters
and helped revitalise the reserve.
“Shannon spoke to our board,
outlining the importance of a
pump track to the local area,” she
said.
“He pointed out that young
people needed a place to skate,
scoot and bike, and that the nearest
skate park was ‘ages away’.
“We are thrilled that it has all
come together and that we now
have a special place for younger
family members – and that
Shannon is the first to line up.
“Local support had helped
power the project, with consultation
on the pump track attracting
a very positive response.”

“He kept asking and asking
and I kept saying no, I didn’t
want to play but eventually he got
me in the gym with the team and
chucked me in the deep end.
“We had a good team, which
helped because I started late. I’d
never seen volleyball played so I
wasn’t sure about it.”

HOME & HEATING
Zone Control for your
ducted heat pump
Ducted heat pumps are a highly
efficient way to heat (or cool) your
home. The air from the heat pump
is ducted to several rooms or zones
in your house. Using a zone control
system makes your ducted heat pump
even more efficient, by specifying the
amount of heat required in each area,
so not wasting energy to overheat or
overcool any room.
The AirTouch4 zone control system
from Smooth-Air takes ducted heat
pump air zoning to a whole new level
of comfort and energy efficiency.
AirTouch4 - The Ultimate Zone
Control
Have total control of your comfort
zone: AirTouch4 lets everyone enjoy a
different level of conditioned air in the
room they are in.
Save money on the power bill, without
compromising on comfort, by only
running the heating or cooling where
you need it with Smart Zoning. Plus with
runtime tracking, energy and airflow
management technology, you can enjoy
greater efficiency and savings from your
family’s ducted heat pump.
The AirTouch4 can also connect to
Google Home and 60 Amazon % Alexa.
Not every home is designed equal. Not
every room is either. Temperatures can
often fluctuate from one room to the next
because of sunlight, room activity or other
factors.
With AirTouch4’s Individual
Temperature Control Technology (ITC),
the AirTouch monitors temperatures
and smartly adjusts airflow as needed
around your home with the aid of multiple
wireless temperature sensors instead of a
single sensor in one location. When some
rooms get too hot or cold, the AirTouch
will adjust airflow to maintain your desired
temperature, without wasting conditioned
air on rooms already comfortable.
Contact Smooth-Air on 0800
SMOOTH or sales@smooth-air.co.nz
for more information on the AirTouch4
zone control.
