lose bid

to stop

discharge

from

factory

• By Bea Gooding

SCHOOLS IN Hornby have lost

a bid to stop a poultry processing

plant from continuing to discharge

contaminants into the air.

Tegel Foods Ltd’s

resource consent

application to

replace its existing

consents for discharges

from the

plant was approved

by Environment Robin Sutton

Canterbury at a

hearing.

The company has consent for the

next 20 years to discharge the contaminants,

including combustion

products from the operation of six

boilers, a poultry smokehouse and

odour from poultry processing.

In a submission to Environment

Canterbury, Hornby High School

principal Robin Sutton described

the negative impact the “freezing

works” odour had on students at the

school, and at other schools in close

proximity, such as Hornby Primary

School. • Turn to page 7

Vivid dreams catalyst for 75-year-old’s book

• By Devon Bolger

SEVENTY-FIVE-year-old John

Ferris was able to achieve a goal

he never thought possible with

the help of a community group

for the elderly.

It was about three years ago

when the Ilam resident had an

extremely vivid dream which

kick-started the idea for his

book, Laura.

It is about an escaped criminal

and a saviour’s journey around

the South Island to find justice

for her.

“Sometimes I have incredible

dreams, if I eat strong cheese

I will. I had this dream about

Laura, a runaway from prison

and decided one night that I

would type it up,’’ Ferris said.

“I’m not very good at typing or

writing but for some reason or

another I kept writing.”

After a long journey, Ferris’

book has now been published.

“You’ve got no idea what a

lift it gave me to have a tangible

copy, I’d never done anything

like that, nobody in my family

had ever written anything like

that,” he said.

Ferris said he needed a push

to get the book published, which

is exactly what he got from the

Selwyn SeniorNet.

The group is dedicated to helping

people over 50 learn to use

technology.

“I’d started going to the group

and one day a member there, Tui

Heighway, was looking through

my computer and she said: ‘Oh

what’s this, John’s story?’

“I said: ‘Oh it’s a book I wrote,’

and she asked if she could read it.

John Clark to get the book

printed.

The SeniorNet group also

Pink Ribbon walk in memory of

FUN: With 5km and 10km routes, the walks

are accessible to everyone, no matter their

age or fitness level.

BEVAN SANDISON is doing the

Pink Ribbon Walk next month in

memory of his mother Raewynne who

lost her battle with breast cancer in

April 2018.

“I’m doing this walk, along with

my kids, Katie, 12, and Emma, 9, to

remember my mum/their nana,” he

said.

“She was an amazingly strong

woman, who inspirationally fought

the good fight for us, for a few years

after being diagnosed, giving us some

extra time to grow new memories

with her.”

Sandison said his mother was

diagnosed after finding a lump in

2013. As it was caught early she was

able to get radiation treatment. The

treatment was considered a success

and the prognosis was great. She was

able to continue working as a secondary

school teacher through until she

retired a year or so later.

“However, very shortly afterwards,

and with big plans ahead for her retirement

with dad, her world and ours,

got turned upside down when one

Sunday morning, whilst lifting a bag

of groceries out of the car boot, a bone

in her upper arm suddenly broke clean

through,” said Sandison.

“X-rays and scans then confirmed

the worst, that her treatment hadn’t

been as successful as had thought, but

rather, had metastasised into stage 4

cancer, having spread to her bones.

“Being given the new prognosis

that stage 4 has no cure, was literally

devastating news, and I will always

vividly remember sitting there with

mum at the hospital receiving the

“The following couple of years were

riddled with hospital visits, radiation

treatment to shrink tumours that

kept appearing on the spine and other

places, and various drug treatments.

Having damaged a nerve in her arm

when her arm broke, affecting

her hand meaning she was no longer

able to drive, the resultant trips to the

oncologist became a regular part of

live for the family as we all chipped in

to help with transport and to attend

and support mum.

“Through it all, including some

very tough times, the care and

treatment mum received was simply

amazing, and the new oral chemo

pill she was on, did a wonderful job

of extending her time, and allowing

us to enjoy some valuable time with

her, and for her to see her grandkids

get a couple of years older, before she

finally had to leave us.”

Merrin School bakes

for animal welfare

MERRIN SCHOOL senior

pupils put their creative baking

hats on in support of SPCA

Cupcake Day.

They raised more than $500

selling creative cupcakes, with all

the funds going to the thousands

of animals that the charity helps

every year.

They are now calling for Kiwi

home bakers to roll up their

sleeves and get behind the annual

SPCA Cupcake Day fundraiser

next month.

Over the years, the event has

raised close to $3.2 million helping

the tens of thousands of animals

that come through SPCA’s

doors each year in need of care,

shelter and veterinary treatment.

Cupcake Day is the last major

fundraising event of the year and

the animal welfare charity is encouraging

keen baking enthusiasts

to get stuck into the kitchen,

whip up a batch of cupcakes and

sell them at workplaces, schools,

and to family and friends.

Last year saw 1092 home bakers

get involved, and 641 businesses.

SPCA chief executive Andrea

Midgen says recent events had

taken a big bite out of the charity,

but here was something tangible

that supporters could do to help.

She adds that because levels are

going down, the charity is moving

full steam ahead with their

sweetest fundraiser of the year.

“Baking a dozen cupcakes and

fundraising is a small act of kindness

that has a big impact and we

are so grateful to all the animal

lovers who bake so passionately

for a wonderful cause,” she said.

Funds raised from SPCA

Cupcake Day will be used across

the country to aid in rescuing,

rehabilitating and rehoming

animals in need.

•Kiwis are encouraged

to bake a difference for

animals in need and sign

up for SPCA Cupcake Day

on November 2. Sign up

Positive music album proving popular

• By Bea Gooding

MICHAL BUSH has always had

a passion for connecting with

children through the world of

music.

The mother of three has now

become a hit on YouTube, with

her song Kindness is Free, stacking

up more

than 40,000

views.

The positive

song, which

came out in

2019, helped

Michal Bush

her and other

parents talk to

their children about the March

15 mosque attacks and the importance

of kindness.

To help families take a break

from the “overwhelming”

anxieties of the world during

Covid-19, Bush created Can You

Make Music? – a new, 15-track

children’s music album with an

overarching theme of well-being.

Bush said the album was

recorded during the lockdown

and took three to four months

to complete, with the help of a

funding grant from Creative

New Zealand.

“Music is an incredible tool for

heavy issues. I think the world

is so overwhelming, and as a

parent and teacher, it’s a heavy

responsibility to take the anxiety

out of the world to protect your

kids,” she said.

“So this is using music in a

positive way to help children focus

on the goodness in the world,

and as parents, it helps you to

take a deep breath, have fun, and

see that life is beautiful.”

Bush has always loved music

and has been songwriting since

she was a child. She started

focusing on children’s music for

the last eight years following the

birth of her daughter.

Ever since, she has performed

in numerous early childhood

centres, pre-schools, trusts and

online to develop children’s interest

in singing and rhythm with

her Music with Michal Club.

“It’s [music] so much a part

of who I am, how I process the

world, how I get my thoughts out

and how I connect with other

people,” she said.

“I’m so drawn to children’s

music because I love the wonder

and awe of it, it’s the best job

ever. Children are such a wonderful

audience, they come with

so much joy.”

Her songs have been used as a

resource by teachers and parents

across the country. Her children

were a “big” part of the process

having heard the album through

its different stages of completion

and also sang in a few songs.

Said Bush: “Thanks to the

grant from Creative NZ, I was

able to hire my friends who are

amazing producers to help produce

the album, which we made

from our own homes. It was a

very cool process.

“The album brings joy and

connection between parent

and child, which celebrates

the childlike point of view of

the world, sparks creativity in

children and helps parents feel

like kids again.”

•The Can You Make

Music? album was

released last month and

Addressing tree removal challenges

From the board

David Cartwright, chair

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board

CHRISTCHURCH, in the past,

has often been referred to as the

Garden City, this being a nod to

our beautiful gardens, trees and

shrubs that are the pride and

joy and method of relaxation for

many of our city residents.

I am very proud of this identity,

it sets us apart from other

New Zealand towns and cities. I

enjoy my weekends in the garden

and I can recall many fond childhood

memories with my parents

in their garden as I grew up.

We are blessed with great

parks across the city, a worldclass

Botanic Gardens and places

like Mona Vale with its gardens

broadening the Avon River.

Mature trees across the city add

considerable value to this picture,

and recently the city council has

been consulting on its tree policy.

For a period of 15-plus years,

this policy has needed clarity

and updating. Thanks to our new

chief executive Dawn Baxendale

this has occurred with a draft

proposal now out for comment.

It is an important document as

it affects everyone. Trees bring

significant pleasure to many people;

children love climbing them

and they bring cover in the heat

of summer.

To our native birds, they

provide food and shelter. From

a climate change perspective,

trees add a huge value providing

shade and a cooling effect plus

help filter out carbon from the

atmosphere.

As a community board, we are

regularly faced with tree removal

challenges, with compliant of

damage to footpaths and stormwater

pipes. In some cases, this

may require a resource consent

or a medical certificate from a

resident to remove a tree. Having

a policy that directs a board, that

makes it clear to residents what

is permitted (or not), is easy to

interrupt and is consistent across

the city will make resolving these

issues easier.

In addition, the policy takes a

proactive approach to replanting/

replacement programmes and

maintenance issues combined

with addressing tree species will

help long-term. I will update

readers in time on the process

here.

Readers might have also

seen recent articles about the

Bishopdale Mall “master” plan

and plans for a development in

this area – the community board

wants to see a positive outcome

for all the stakeholders here both

short and long-term. No set ideas

are set in stone and should you

have an interest in this area/

project please get in touch.

MAINTENANCE: Christchurch has the world-class

Botanic Gardens and a proactive approach to

replanting and replacement of trees.

Positive music album proving popular

• By Bea Gooding

MICHAL BUSH has always had

a passion for connecting with

children through the world of

music.

The mother of three has now

become a hit on YouTube, with

her song Kindness is Free, stacking

up more

than 40,000

views.

2019, helped

her and other

parents talk to

their children about the March

15 mosque attacks and the importance

of kindness.

To help families take a break

from the “overwhelming”

anxieties of the world during

Covid-19, Bush created Can You

Make Music? – a new, 15-track

children’s music album with an

overarching theme of well-being.

Bush said the album was

recorded during the lockdown

and took three to four months

to complete, with the help of a

funding grant from Creative

New Zealand.

“Music is an incredible tool for

heavy issues. I think the world

is so overwhelming, and as a

parent and teacher, it’s a heavy

responsibility to take the anxiety

out of the world to protect your

kids,” she said.

“So this is using music in a

positive way to help children focus

on the goodness in the world,

and as parents, it helps you to

take a deep breath, have fun, and

see that life is beautiful.”

Bush has always loved music

and has been songwriting since

she was a child. She started

focusing on children’s music for

the last eight years following the

birth of her daughter.

Ever since, she has performed

in numerous early childhood

centres, pre-schools, trusts and

online to develop children’s interest

in singing and rhythm with

her Music with Michal Club.

“It’s [music] so much a part

of who I am, how I process the

world, how I get my thoughts out

and how I connect with other

people,” she said.

“I’m so drawn to children’s

music because I love the wonder

and awe of it, it’s the best job

ever. Children are such a wonderful

audience, they come with

so much joy.”

Her songs have been used as a

resource by teachers and parents

across the country. Her children

were a “big” part of the process

having heard the album through

its different stages of completion

and also sang in a few songs.

Said Bush: “Thanks to the

grant from Creative NZ, I was

able to hire my friends who are

amazing producers to help produce

the album, which we made

from our own homes. It was a

very cool process.

“The album brings joy and

connection between parent

and child, which celebrates

the childlike point of view of

the world, sparks creativity in

children and helps parents feel

like kids again.”

CALLS HAVE been made to

stop rates increases in response

to the Covid-19 crisis.

City councillors James Gough,

Sam MacDonald, Catherine

Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown

and James Daniels have sent a

letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel

asking her to lead a conversation

as to how a zero per cent rates

increase could be achieved this

year.

The city council is proposing

an average rates increase of 4.65

per cent across all ratepayers in

this year’s Draft Annual Plan

which is currently under public

consultation until April 5 and

will be finalised before July 1.

The 2018-2028 Long Term

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent

rates increase over 10 years.
