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

this term.

Young runner’s 60km challenge 

• From page 1 

Harri was only 3 when he first 

wanted to join his dad when he went 

for a run. 

“I said no, it was probably not for 

him,” said Mr Brown. 

“He was exceptionally upset when I 

said no, so we took it slowly and when 

he got tired I continued to run with 

him on my shoulders.” 

From then on it seemed like they 

could never put away his running 

shoes. 

Harri’s heart defect meant that 

at birth he had severe left ventricle 

dysfunction – ejecting between seven 

to 12 per cent of its volume each 

heartbeat. 

Mr Brown said a normal baby’s 

heart ejects 55 per cent. 

“He was given a 50 per cent chance 

to live when he was born and he had 

open-heart surgery 27 hours after 

birth. 

“After surgery at Starship Hospital, 

he now has a normally functioning 

ventricle.” 

Mrs Brown was appreciative of the 

“fantastic” support they received from 

Heart Kids Canterbury and meeting 

other families going through a similar 

journey. 

“It’s important to meet people going 

through the same thing, it makes a 

big difference,” she said.

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

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

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

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.

COVID 19 RULES APPLY

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 

ADVERTISEMENT 

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 

pioneering a new way of living for a new retirement generation. 

*Some conditions apply 

Located in Papanui, close to Northlands mall 

and cafes, Ngaio Marsh Village is named in 

honour of a pioneering New Zealander 

who set the standard for others to follow.

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 


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 


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.” 


DETERMINATION: A temporary pump track has been installed 

at the Shirley Community Reserve following a petition to build 

one in the area. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

The relocatable modular 

track also keeps options open for 

any future use of the reserve space. 

Along with the track, a 

multi-purpose concrete table 

and seating were to be installed 

nearby. 

Fahey eager to make 

most of US opportunity 

• By Jacob Page 

FORMER BURNSIDE High 

School volleyballer Tasmyn 

Fahey refused to play the sport at 

first – but now it has opened up 

international career opportunities 

she intends to capitalise on. 

The 21-year-old is hoping to 

return to the North Carolina 

Agricultural and Technical University 

for her senior season in 

August. 

But for now, she’s continuing 

her psychology degree from her 

family home in Burnside with 

one eye on a future in improving 

the foster care system in 

either the United States or New 

Zealand. 

It’s a far cry from the 15-yearold 

who had to be persuaded to 

even try the sport by her high 

school coach Sam Ryburn. 

“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.” 

Fahey plays in the middle spot 

and she hasn’t moved since. 

She played her first two years at 

Casper Junior College, Wyoming 

before going to division one’s 


FINAL YEAR: Tasmyn Fahey 

hopes to get her senior 

volleyball season at North 

Carolina if she can. 

North Carolina for her final two 

years of eligibility. 

“Casper was great for me 

because it helped me adjust to 

life in a college and America in 

general,” she said. 

“I feel like being in America is 

my life at this point. 

“At North Carolina, we have 

great team chemistry and we all 

want to do our best. 

Fahey said she has a passion for 

social justice. 

“I want to work with trauma 

victims and look into improving 

the foster care system for kids.” 

She admits she really wants 

to get back to the US and hopes 

to stay there once she graduates 

early next year.

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. 

Warmer Kiwi 

Homes grants 

The Government is offering Warmer 

Kiwi Homes grants to make Kiwi homes 

warmer and healthier and recently the 

grant has increased to 90% of the cost of 

the supply and installation of a heat pump 

(capped at $3000 including GST). 

Enviro Master Ltd are proud to be a 

selected supplier of heat pumps to the 

Warmer Kiwi Homes programme. 

You may be eligible if you own your own 

home and have a Community Services 

Card, Super Gold Combo Card or live in 

a lower income area and your home was 

built prior to 2008. Heat pumps are for the 

main living area only and there must be 


no other operational fixed heating source 

available. 

Enviro Master Ltd are your air 

conditioning and heat pump specialists 

and have been servicing the Christchurch 

area for over 18 years now. We supply,
