Drink driving: How the numbers<br />

stack up in eastern suburbs<br />

Breath<br />

and blood alcohol<br />

offences by police station<br />

between 20<strong>17</strong> and 2019<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

POLICE CHARGED 658 people<br />

with drink driving offences in<br />

the eastern suburbs between<br />

20<strong>17</strong> and 2019.<br />

An Official Information Act<br />

request by <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> has<br />

revealed out of eight areas in<br />

Christchurch and Banks Peninsula,<br />

the New Brighton Police<br />

Station coverage area sits fourth<br />

on the list of areas where the<br />

most people have been charged<br />

for being over the legal breath<br />

and blood alcohol limits in this<br />

time period.<br />

Christchurch central is first<br />

on this list, with officers there<br />

charging 1993 drivers with such<br />

offences, Papanui is second with<br />

915 and south Christchurch sits<br />

third with 675.<br />

The legal breath alcohol limit<br />

in New Zealand is 250mcg/l.<br />

The highest breath alcohol<br />

readings recorded between 20<strong>17</strong><br />

and 2019 in the New Brighton<br />

area were 1469mcg/l in 20<strong>17</strong> and<br />

1469mcg/l and 1304mcg/l in<br />

2018.<br />

There were 4812 excess breath<br />

and blood alcohol offences in<br />

Christchurch between 20<strong>17</strong> and<br />

2019.<br />

The number of drink driving<br />

offences decreased over this<br />

three year period. There were<br />

<strong>17</strong>42 offences in 20<strong>17</strong>, 1539<br />

CHECKPOINT: Statistics have revealed which areas of Christchurch the most drink<br />

drivers were caught between 20<strong>17</strong> and 2019.<br />

offences in 2018 and 1531 in<br />

2019.<br />

Canterbury road policing<br />

manager Inspector Greg Cottam<br />

said these statistics are promising<br />

but any drink driving at all<br />

is too much.<br />

back to the fact that any drink<br />

driving is one too many and the<br />

potential for serious harm for<br />

other road users is unacceptable.<br />

We have a no-tolerance policy<br />

for alcohol and one is one too<br />

many.”<br />

Meanwhile, in July a police<br />

clampdown on drink driving<br />

saw them stop and breath test<br />

14042 Canterbury motorists.<br />

Of these, 68 were over the legal<br />

breath alcohol limit.<br />

They trialled micro-checkpoints<br />

as part of this, which<br />

require as few as one police car<br />

and officer to set up and carry<br />

out.<br />

Vandals hit gym<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

VANDALS have been<br />

targeting the old<br />

Christchurch School of<br />

Gymnastics building in<br />

North New Brighton.<br />

Sergeant Jim Currie said in<br />

the last few weeks police have<br />

received reports of windows<br />

of the building on Travis Rd<br />

being broken and graffiti<br />

being drawn on it. Investigations<br />

are taking place into<br />

this.<br />

Said Currie: “We’ve been<br />

having a few issues around<br />

the old school of gymnastics<br />

at QEII [Park]. There’s been<br />

a bit of vandalism and things<br />

going on there over the last<br />

few days and weekends . . .<br />

broken windows and that<br />

sort of thing.”<br />

The building is no longer<br />

used by the school of gymnastics,<br />

which has opened<br />

a new one nearby on Mark<br />

Treffers Drive.<br />

However, Currie said the<br />

old building is used to store<br />

equipment used in New<br />

Brighton’s Santa parade and<br />

will become Santa’s grotto at<br />

Christmas time.<br />

“We want to make sure<br />

that it [the old building] is<br />

TARGET: The old Christchurch School of Gymnastics<br />

building on Travis Rd has been targeted by vandals<br />

in recent weeks. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

nice and usable for that so<br />

that the community can<br />

benefit from that Santa’s<br />

grotto over Christmas.”<br />

The city council will start<br />

a 12-month trial soon to<br />

map and track graffiti using<br />

technology to help identify<br />

offenders and cut costs to<br />

ratepayers.<br />

The Smart Christchurch<br />

Graffiti Recognition trial will<br />

track graffiti activity using<br />

data from the public and<br />

contractors to help<br />

curb building damage and<br />

identify repeat offenders to<br />

police.<br />

Wait for palm tree<br />

solution continues<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

THE WAIT goes on for a resolution<br />

to be reached for a potentially<br />

precariously placed palm tree.<br />

There have been concerns about the<br />

Palm Tree in the roundabout at the<br />

intersection of Laguna Gardens and<br />

Palm Dr for about six years.<br />

The Palm Tree is situated within a<br />

planter box which has cracks along<br />

the side of it. City council staff believe<br />

this is likely to be caused by the<br />

growth of the roots.<br />

The Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board requested the city council<br />

rebuild the planter box the palm tree<br />

sits within. This would cost about<br />

$40,000.<br />

However, the city council decided<br />

to defer the decision to its urban development<br />

and transport committee<br />

to assess what the best way forward<br />

for the tree was.<br />

Said community board chairwoman<br />

Emma Norrish: “I guess it is a bit<br />

frustrating that it did get handed over<br />

to that committee, but if something<br />

happens from it, that would certainly<br />

be a positive. The sooner the better.”<br />

Other options in resolving the<br />

long-standing issue are to repair the<br />

existing planter boxes costing $9000,<br />

replacing the planter wall with a concrete<br />

wall costing $28,000 or removal<br />

TREE TROUBLE: There are<br />

concerns about cracks in the<br />

planter box for the palm tree<br />

situated at the intersection of<br />

Palm Dr and Laguna Gardens.<br />

of the palm and planter box which<br />

would amount to a cost of $38,000.<br />

Another option was to remove<br />

planter box and palm and replant the<br />

tree to ground level. However, council<br />

officials said this option should not be<br />

pursued as it would compromise the<br />

structural integrity of the tree.<br />

Refresh for Art-omat<br />

Poto<br />

Williams<br />

for Christchurch East<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

NOT ONLY has New<br />

Brighton’s Art-omat found a<br />

new home, but the tiny hut<br />

will also soon be getting a<br />

facelift.<br />

The city council’s Enliven<br />

Places Programme awarded<br />

custodianship of the Art-omat<br />

to organisation Life in Vacant<br />

Spaces, who work with landowners<br />

and project partners<br />

to bring life back into empty<br />

spaces across the city.<br />

The Art-omat has now<br />

shifted to 101 Brighton Mall<br />

and was originally opened as<br />

a mini art gallery, where local<br />

artists could display their work<br />

for purchase, making art more<br />

accessible in a creative way.<br />

Said LiVS director Rachael<br />

Shiels: “We’re really excited<br />

to have the opportunity to<br />

activate this space for the local<br />

New Brighton community. It’s<br />

nice to see it being refreshed.”<br />

The Art-omat was one of<br />

five tiny huts installed by the<br />

city council in a bid to liven up<br />

New Brighton’s public spaces<br />

– each a play on the iconic<br />

English seaside beach hut.<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

A SCHEME to provide<br />

computers to community<br />

organisations in need across<br />

the city has proven popular,<br />

with digital needs increasing<br />

due to Covid-19.<br />

The city council’s Computers<br />

to the Community Scheme<br />

offers computers for free to<br />

not-for-profit groups to help<br />

them deliver services more<br />

efficiently.<br />

Excluding the lockdown, between<br />

July 2019 and June this<br />

year, 220 laptops and desktops<br />

were distributed to organisations,<br />

such as St Luke’s Samoan<br />

Church, the Wainoni<br />

Avonside Community Services<br />

Trust and the New Brighton<br />

NEW BEGINNINGS: Rachael Shiels, director of Life in<br />

Vacant Spaces, who have some new ideas up their<br />

sleeves for the New Brighton Art-omat.<br />

Other huts included a mini<br />

marae, a shell chapel and a<br />

unique viewing point of New<br />

Brighton Beach.<br />

Now that the Art-omat was<br />

under the management of<br />

LiVS, Shiels said that its use<br />

was up to the community to<br />

decide, but the organisation<br />

was on hand to provide funding<br />

and extra support to get<br />

projects off the ground.<br />

Their initial idea for the hut<br />

was to use it as another exhibition<br />

space to honour the original<br />

designers, but that could<br />

change depending on what the<br />

community wanted to see.<br />

Among those expressing<br />

interest was the New Brighton<br />

Art Gallery, but the organisation<br />

was seeking more ideas,<br />

Community Gardens.<br />

Charity Kilmarnock<br />

Enterprises employs people<br />

with intellectual disabilities to<br />

provide outsourcing solutions<br />

for businesses, such as packaging<br />

or refurbishing needs and<br />

received four desktops and<br />

laptops.<br />

Said chief executive Michael<br />

Toothill: “We haven’t had the<br />

budget to purchase new ones<br />

ourselves, and we needed to<br />

find an alternative way to save<br />

costs.<br />

“We started to sell ecofriendly<br />

cleaning products and<br />

needed equipment to run the<br />

dispatch side of things. We had<br />

a gap to fill in business because<br />

we refurbished headsets for<br />

Air New Zealand’s international<br />

flights, but that’s gone<br />

on hold.<br />

“Directly for us, it ensures<br />

we can retain jobs and has<br />

been a huge benefit to our<br />

employees.”<br />

In the past few months, the<br />

city council noted an increase<br />

in requests from groups<br />

working with multi-cultural<br />

communities and have allocated<br />

about 50 computers to<br />

organisations with a variety of<br />

cultural backgrounds.<br />

City council head of community<br />

support, governance<br />

and partnerships John Filsell<br />

said the cost associated with<br />

purchasing the technology was<br />

often a barrier.<br />

Said Filsell: “Covid-19 highlighted<br />

the need and use of<br />

such as a potential space for<br />

live performances.<br />

“We’re excited to hear people’s<br />

ideas for this space. Our<br />

intention is to change things<br />

up every four to eight weeks to<br />

keep it fresh,” she said.<br />

“Art is so subjective and you<br />

can’t make everyone happy, so<br />

we’ll keep changing things up<br />

the explore other ideas.”<br />

The new Art-omat is anticipated<br />

to benefit the New<br />

Brighton community by enabling<br />

ongoing use of the hub<br />

and celebrated the local arts.<br />

“Vacant spaces can be a<br />

real eyesore and can attract<br />

vandalism. The changes show<br />

interest and freshness in the<br />

area and that it’s being cared<br />

for, loved and utilised.”<br />

LiVS will manage the site for<br />

one year and may continuing<br />

doing so beyond that, depending<br />

on this year’s success.<br />

In addition to the Art-omat,<br />

they managed the East x East<br />

project in the Red Zone – a<br />

space filled with temporary<br />

art, clubs and events to utilise<br />

the area while plans for future<br />

plans and development for the<br />

space are completed.<br />

Addressing increasing digital needs<br />

oN sAle Now!<br />

technology to feel connected,<br />

to keep in touch with friends<br />

and family both overseas and<br />

within New Zealand to get<br />

information, continuing education<br />

and support the ability<br />

to continue to work.<br />

“Some groups have<br />

made the computers available<br />

to those who do not have<br />

them, or used them to<br />

provide information and<br />

support to their communities<br />

by building up an electronic<br />

network.’’<br />

Meeting demand was not<br />

a major issue but at times<br />

the city council experienced<br />

a higher demand which<br />

meant some groups had to<br />

wait longer to receive their<br />

computers.<br />

To the people of<br />

Christchurch East<br />

Thank you for being part<br />

of the great team that<br />

eliminated COVID-19. It’s<br />

going to take another team<br />

effort to rebuild the economy,<br />

but we’ve made a start:<br />

• Wage subsidy to support<br />

workers and businesses.<br />

• Free trades training for new<br />

jobs – for people of all ages.<br />

• Creating jobs by building<br />

8000 new public homes.<br />

• Interest-free loans for<br />

businesses<br />

• Record increase in health<br />

funding<br />

• Doubled Winter Energy<br />

Payment for <strong>2020</strong><br />

• Permanently increased<br />

benefits.<br />

Throughout the crisis,<br />

Jacinda urged us to be kind<br />

to one another. Let’s build<br />

kindness into all parts of life<br />

to build a better, fairer<br />

New Zealand.<br />

Foodbank adapts to<br />

meet pandemic demands<br />

Myriad groups help<br />

keep our community<br />

moving. Reporter<br />

Bea Gooding<br />

speaks to Foodbank<br />

Canterbury cofounders<br />

John and<br />

Janice Milligan about<br />

how the charity<br />

has adapted to<br />

support vulnerable<br />

Cantabrians<br />

Could you tell me a bit<br />

about what Foodbank<br />

Canterbury does?<br />

Foodbank Canterbury<br />

is a secular, independent<br />

non-faith based, nonpolitically<br />

aligned, nonactivist<br />

controlled food<br />

rescue organisation with a<br />

singular mission in mind –<br />

to fight hunger, feed hope<br />

and reduce food waste.<br />

Under “normal”<br />

times, FBC rescues two<br />

tonnes of food per day<br />

which resources over<br />

5800 meals daily for the<br />

vulnerable and at-risk in<br />

the Canterbury, South<br />

Canterbury and West<br />

Coast regions.<br />

We are a 100 per cent<br />

not-for-profit organisation<br />

dealing with over 135<br />

agencies throughout<br />

Christchurch alone –<br />

everyone from The City<br />

Mission, St Vinnies, the<br />

maraes and other iwi<br />

organisations, Pasifika<br />

groups, Women’s Refuges,<br />

Community Centres and<br />

food pantries, school<br />

districts etc.<br />

What kind of impact<br />

does your charity have<br />

on the environment and<br />

vulnerable Cantabrians?<br />

Collecting and<br />

distributing nearly 1.8<br />

million meals worth of<br />

food each year through<br />

a network of partner<br />

programs gives us a stark<br />

understanding of the<br />

everyday realities of food<br />

insecurity.<br />

On a per-volume basis,<br />

FBC is the largest food<br />

relief organisation in the<br />

South Island, operating<br />

on a scale that makes it<br />

crucial to the work of the<br />

front-line charities who are<br />

feeding vulnerable New<br />

Zealanders.<br />

FBC provides more<br />

than 70 per cent of the<br />

food rescued for food<br />

relief organisations South<br />

Island-wide.<br />

Our volunteers are vital<br />

to our success and have<br />

contributed some 65,000<br />

hours of their time in the<br />

last twelve months. To<br />

us, that’s worth over $1.6<br />

million.<br />

Foodbank represents<br />

a ‘triple-win’ for<br />

SURGE: Co-founder and general manager Janice<br />

Milligan, of Foodbank Canterbury, where demand<br />

has increased 106 per cent since the beginning<br />

of this year.<br />

our communities –<br />

reducing food wastage<br />

and protecting the<br />

environment; providing<br />

food relief to hungry and<br />

vulnerable people; and<br />

strengthening our society<br />

through collaboration<br />

with local charities and<br />

volunteerism.<br />

What issues are the<br />

charity currently facing<br />

in the wake of Covid-19?<br />

In the current<br />

Covid-19 situation,<br />

we are processing and<br />

redistributing just on 100<br />

tonnes of food product<br />

monthly – resourcing<br />

around 9,000 meals per<br />

day. That is an increase<br />

of 106 per cent since the<br />

beginning of <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

We are under no<br />

illusions about the<br />

challenge we are<br />

embracing. The current<br />

pandemic situation has<br />

made us at FBC realise this<br />

even more. Feeding the<br />

hungry is<br />

paramount. We are<br />

feeding people who have<br />

never put their hand up in<br />

need before, and the scary<br />

thing is that we do not<br />

know where we are going.<br />

There is no template.<br />

In spite of our suppliers<br />

– the supermarkets,<br />

manufacturers,<br />

distributors, growers<br />

and farmers being very<br />

supportive, FBC is still<br />

having to raise funding to<br />

buy-in staple food<br />

products to supplement<br />

what we distribute.<br />

We are also concerned<br />

that our rural areas are not<br />

being served and we plan<br />

to resolve this as soon as<br />

funding is available.<br />

We have seen over the<br />

past months, an explosion<br />

of altruism and cooperation.<br />

Now we need to<br />

move forward in not just<br />

a spirit of collaboration,<br />

but in a realistic act of<br />

collaboration to simply<br />

achieve.<br />

At FBC our byline is<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN ​<br />

“fighting hunger – feeding<br />

Hope.”<br />

It is this hope that impels<br />

us to act.<br />

How has the charity<br />

adapted to these changes<br />

caused by the pandemic?<br />

In order to fill the gaps<br />

in demand left by the more<br />

tradition food pantries<br />

serving individuals, FBC<br />

is introducing the Hunger<br />

Action Team programme<br />

in NZ.<br />

By introducing HATs<br />

Foodbank Aotearoa New<br />

Zealand/Canterbury, it<br />

changes what it means to<br />

be a food bank. This is an<br />

innovation driven by the<br />

current environment.<br />

HATs are groups<br />

of individuals and<br />

organisations working<br />

in collaboration to solve<br />

hunger in a designated<br />

community. They are<br />

coalitions that bring<br />

people from across a<br />

community together to<br />

develop local solutions to<br />

hunger, supplying 10 day,<br />

two-week family packages<br />

of nutritious food to<br />

vulnerable whanau.<br />

Starting in Christchurch<br />

with initial collaboration<br />

with FBC, He Waka<br />

Tapu and Rotary<br />

International, HATs will<br />

be working in towns and<br />

neighbourhoods across the<br />

region – leveraging local<br />

resources and relationships<br />

to raise awareness about<br />

hunger, connect services to<br />

make it easier for people to<br />

get help, and launch new<br />

initiatives that strengthen<br />

each community’s capacity<br />

to meet local needs.<br />

This comprehensive<br />

solution to hunger requires<br />

seeking out new avenues of<br />

collaboration to create the<br />

greatest possible impact.<br />

Currently, our social<br />

media brings in around 15<br />

contacts per day up from<br />

maybe 8 per month pre-<br />

Covid-19. He Waka Tapu<br />

is experiencing an even<br />

greater level.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Natural support<br />

for healthy joints<br />

Joint issues will affect most of us at some<br />

time. They can show up in any joint such<br />

as in your neck, back, shoulders, elbows,<br />

wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles and feet.<br />

Cartilage is the protective surfaces<br />

between moving bones that allows them<br />

to move freely. It is constantly worn away<br />

and needs to be rebuilt on a constant<br />

basis. This repair process slows down for<br />

most of us as we age. The result is not<br />

enough cartilage in some joints causing<br />

the joint function to be less smooth. This<br />

is the most common form of arthritis,<br />

called osteoarthritis, and it leads to<br />

inflammation, pain, stiffness and reduced<br />

mobility of the joint.<br />

Joint pain can also be a factor in falls.<br />

Generally joints with the most use or stress<br />

show problems first.<br />

Many people seek pain relief from<br />

their doctor. The usual prescription is<br />

non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,<br />

or NSAIDs, which offer pain relief but<br />

do nothing to stop the progression of the<br />

arthritis.<br />

According to the British Journal<br />

of General Practice, NSAIDs are not<br />

recommended for long term use and are<br />

responsible for 30% of hospital admissions,<br />

mainly due to internal bleeding, heart<br />

attack, stroke and renal damage. Research<br />

shows all NSAIDs double the risk of<br />

hospitalization due to heart failure.<br />

Supporting the body with the right<br />

- WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP! -<br />

supplementary nutrients has been found<br />

to be highly beneficial in supporting joint<br />

health for many people.<br />

A local Christchurch company, Kiwi<br />

Natural Health or KNH, has produced an<br />

advanced, high-potency formula called<br />

“Joint Care Plus” to support healthy joint<br />

function.<br />

Inflammation of joints can cause<br />

pain and slows the healing process.<br />

Joint Care Plus contains turmeric,<br />

ginger and black pepper to help reduce<br />

inflammation and pain, and enhance<br />

digestion and absorption of its nutrients.<br />

The formula also contains nutrients that<br />

have been researched to support joint<br />

health, including boron, selenium, zinc,<br />

manganese, proline and MSM, as well<br />

as the highly researched glucosamine<br />

sulfate potassium chloride complex, and<br />

chondroitin sulfate.<br />

This comprehensive formula is in<br />

an easy to swallow capsule. Due to the<br />

amount of nutrients in the formula it<br />

is recommended to take two or three<br />

capsules once daily to achieve a necessary<br />

amount of each nutrient. In severe cases a<br />

loading dose of three capsules twice daily<br />

may be used.<br />

KNH JOINT CARE PLUS and further<br />

information is available from the natural<br />

health advisers, medical herbalists<br />

and naturopath at Marshall’s Health &<br />

Natural Therapy.<br />

ADVANCED NATURAL<br />

NUTRITION<br />

FOR HEALTHY<br />

JOINTS<br />

Are your joints painful, stiff, noisy, swollen or<br />

inflamed? This is often caused by a lack of<br />

cartilage, the soft spongy material in all joints<br />

between the moving bones. Sufficient cartilage<br />

allows the joints to move freely. KNH JOINT<br />

CARE PLUS contains a comprehensive formula<br />

of nutrients known to support the body maintain<br />

& replace cartilage & connective tissue as well<br />

as reduce inflammation & pain. The high potency<br />

formula is in easy to swallow capsules with<br />

advanced absorption technology for faster results.<br />

KNH JOINT CARE PLUS SUPPORTS:<br />

- Cartilage, ligaments & connective tissue regeneration<br />

- Inflammation & swelling relief<br />

- Pain relief<br />

- Joint flexibility<br />

- Healthy joint function<br />

News<br />

East’s well-being<br />

a focus for board<br />

COMMUNITY wellbeing<br />

is top of mind on a<br />

plan that will also focus<br />

on improving roads and<br />

footpaths, and protecting<br />

and maintaining<br />

biodiversity and recreation.<br />

The Linwood-Central-<br />

Heathcote Community<br />

Board’s priorities plan for<br />

<strong>2020</strong>-22 outlines a raft of<br />

ideas to tidy and improve<br />

the inner city east suburbs.<br />

Communities in the<br />

south-east have been<br />

without a swimming pool<br />

since the Woolston Pool<br />

closed in 2009, but this<br />

will change when Te Pou<br />

Toetoe is finished.<br />

It sits alongside Linwood<br />

Park, and the board wants<br />

both developed as a coherent<br />

whole, especially when it<br />

comes to parking. It wants<br />

an integrated plan for the<br />

park, and better connection<br />

with Linwood College.<br />

The board says it<br />

will advocate for the<br />

continuation of a<br />

Phillipstown Community<br />

Hub, and for Lancaster<br />

Park to be developed<br />

alongside the community.<br />

Broken and damaged<br />

footpaths were affecting<br />

people with mobility<br />

issues, the elderly, and<br />

people using wheelchairs<br />

and pushchairs. The<br />

board would push to get<br />

things fixed in response to<br />

community concern, and<br />

for discretionary funding<br />

to make it happen.<br />

It is also keen to “green<br />

the concrete jungle”<br />

by identifying suitable<br />

locations for street-planting<br />

on berms and traffic<br />

islands, and to activate the<br />

Greening the East Working<br />

Party to develop a spatial<br />

plan for the area.<br />

Funds would be sought<br />

to make this a pilot project,<br />

to develop the plan, and to<br />

provide for work and land<br />

purchases.<br />

Light industrial<br />

growth made Bromley<br />

a busier place, and the<br />

board wants the local<br />

traffic management plan<br />

reviewed ahead of a plan<br />

to deal with current issues.<br />

It is keen for speeds to<br />

drop and for heavy traffic<br />

to be diverted on to nonresidential<br />

roads.<br />

It notes some years<br />

have passed since the<br />

initial development of the<br />

suburban centres Master<br />

Plans for Linwood Village,<br />

Sumner Village, Ferry Rd<br />

and Main Rd. These may<br />

need to be updated.<br />

The board wants the<br />

amenity and ecology of<br />

the Heathcote River to<br />

improve. It has significant<br />

pollution issues, and<br />

the raft of projects<br />

seeking to improve its<br />

amenity sometimes seem<br />

uncoordinated.<br />

Climate change will<br />

force changes on the area<br />

as, over time, it deals with<br />

sea level rise and coastal<br />

inundation.<br />

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust,<br />

a non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s<br />

most important coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird<br />

found in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the understanding of the<br />

values and uniqueness of the area.<br />

Hungry oystercatcher<br />

eats night and day<br />

DECLINING: The black oystercatcher eats day and<br />

night and can be seen on the mudflats looking<br />

for cockles, crabs and marine worms.<br />

THE BLACK oystercatcher<br />

or toreapango with its<br />

bright orange bill, red<br />

eye and orange eye ring<br />

is the “cousin’ of the pied<br />

oystercatcher, which are<br />

black and white. They<br />

are only found in New<br />

Zealand, adding to the<br />

importance of a healthy<br />

estuary to ensure their<br />

survival.<br />

Like its cousin, this everhungry<br />

bird, eats day and<br />

night and can be seen on<br />

the mudflats busily ‘jogging<br />

to and fro’ looking for<br />

cockles, crabs and marine<br />

worms.<br />

Having adapted<br />

somewhat to our urban<br />

environment it also feeds<br />

on earthworms and grubs<br />

in the Linwood Paddocks<br />

and the McCormacks Bay<br />

sport field.<br />

They like their nest<br />

simple; making a small<br />

indent in dirt, dunes or<br />

on the beach among a few<br />

sticks or a little vegetation.<br />

This method makes eggs<br />

and chicks extremely easy<br />

victims from human activities<br />

such as walkers, fourwheel-drive<br />

vehicles and<br />

motor-cycles. They will try<br />

to defend their nest fiercely<br />

though, so if you see a pair<br />

of black oystercatchers<br />

running around erratically<br />

or even flying up in the air<br />

just above you making a<br />

lot of noise, then know that<br />

they are protecting eggs<br />

or chicks – so please, walk<br />

away and stay well clear of<br />

them.<br />

Last year just over 130<br />

of these birds have been<br />

counted in and around our<br />

estuary which, like with<br />

PHOTO: BRIAN BETTS ​<br />

many other bird species in<br />

and around our estuary, is<br />

a vast number of the entire<br />

world population.<br />

Sadly, numbers are declining,<br />

so how can we help<br />

these birds thrive? Keep<br />

dogs on the lead when<br />

walking near the estuary as<br />

to not disturb them while<br />

feeding or resting.<br />

Do not gather shellfish<br />

from the mudflats as we<br />

need to ensure large numbers<br />

of cockles are present<br />

for the birds.<br />

Gathering also disturbs<br />

the birds from feeding.

CALLS HAVE been made to<br />

stop rates increases in response<br />

to the Covid-19 crisis.<br />

City councillors James Gough,<br />

Sam MacDonald, Catherine<br />

Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown<br />

and James Daniels have sent a<br />

letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />

asking her to lead a conversation<br />

as to how a zero per cent rates<br />

increase could be achieved this<br />

year.<br />

The city council is proposing<br />

an average rates increase of 4.65<br />

per cent across all ratepayers in<br />

this year’s Draft Annual Plan<br />

which is currently under public<br />

consultation until April 5 and<br />

will be finalised before July 1.<br />

The 2018-2028 Long Term<br />

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent<br />

rates increase over 10 years.<br />

Said Cr MacDonald: “In<br />

the current environment it’s<br />

clear business as usual is not<br />

appropriate and the council<br />

needs to look at how we enable<br />

this 12-month rates increase<br />

the economic confidence of our<br />

city.”<br />

“Calm heads must and will from decisions we make.<br />

prevail,” she said.<br />

“The Annual Plan is not<br />

the Canterbury Employers’<br />

Chamber of Commerce<br />

and other key players so we are<br />

best prepared for the economic<br />

challenges that lie ahead.”<br />
