‘Antisocial
behaviour’
upsets
Moncks Bay
residents
• By Louis Day
YOUTHS PARTYING into
the early hours of the morning,
littering and even defecating
near a car park in Moncks Bay
is causing tension within the
community.
In a letter to the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board, the Redcliffs Residents
Association said it had received a
number of complaints from residents
living on Main Rd and Cliff
St about some of the “antisocial
behaviour” at the car park which
sits next to the Christchurch
Yacht Club.
The association has said cases
of loud music and noise keeping
residents awake throughout the
night has got noticeably worse
over the past year. It has also received
reports of part of the beach
surrounding the car park being
littered on and even used as a
toilet. Youths have also been seen
entering Cliff St to use the red
zone for toileting purposes.
The association wants the city
council to consider installing a
chain to prevent cars using the car
park at night.
It also wants a temporary
Portaloo to be installed at the car
park. • Turn to page 5

Toy dogs comfort children in hospital
FOR HENNY van Veen,
knitting toy dogs is a labour of
love that has been bringing joy
and calm to children having
ultrasounds at Christchurch
Hospital.
Knitted by the radiographic
assistant, the toys are given
to some of the hospital’s child
patients, aged between four and
10, to help them overcome their
fears.
For some children, an ultrasound
is a traumatic experience
and receiving a cuddly toy at the
end of it makes it a bit better, van
Veen said.
“We only get happy faces
if we give them a dog or one
of the little knitted teddies
from chaplaincy service,” she
said.
Van Veen was inspired to start
knitting about 18 months ago
after seeing the small teddies
around the hospital.
“I have never done it before
in my life and learned how by
watching YouTube.”
She usually knits in the evening
while listening to music or
watching television, “just to keep
my hands busy.”
It takes her four weeks to finish
a dog, as she only knits for
about an hour a day.
“And a lot of dogs are not to
HIKING BOOTS
& SHOES
my liking once finished so I
make another one.”
The patterns come from
library books or the internet,
and van Veen has made “just
about every breed of dog you can
name.”
Breeds she has knitted
include corgi, poodle, german
shepherd, jack russell, miniature
schnauzer, pug and border collie.

In Brief
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
A resident has raised concerns
about pedestrian safety along and
near Worsleys Rd at a Spreydon-
Cashmere Community Board
meeting. They spoke about a lack
of pedestrian links between and
within Westmorland East Valley
Reserve, Cashmere Esplanade
Reserve and the new stormwater
basin in the Cashmere Estate
subdivision, which have become
popular recreation destinations.
The community board has
requested city council staff advice
on the network of footpaths
within popular recreation
destinations, and on options to
improve pedestrian connectivity,
safety and accessibility, including
reducing the speed limit on
Worsleys Rd.

Caring for elderly recognised again
• By Bea Gooding
ROCHELLE Moore’s passion
and dedication for supporting
the elderly has been recognised
for the second year in a row.
The Cashmere resident has
been named village manager
of the year at the recent Bupa
Awards for going the extra mile
for her residents at Bupa Cashmere
View Retirement Village.
The village also won care home
of the year out of the company’s
48 care homes across the country.
The awards recognised homes
and individuals each year who
excelled across all aspects of
their roles and were measured
against criteria such as resident
satisfaction, safety, community
connections and more.
Moore was also last year’s village
manager of the year and said
she was overwhelmed to have
been nominated a second time.
“I was actually overwhelmed,
you don’t see things like this
coming,” she said.
“For me, it feels like the perfect
position; I believe I have the best
job in the world. Even on the
not-so-good days, I can’t imagine
being anywhere else.”
Moore’s role included overseeing
the day-to-day operations at
the village, facilitating residents’
health care needs, organising
PRIDE: Rochelle Moore has been named village manager of the year at the Bupa Awards,
for her efforts at Bupa Cashmere View Care Home and Retirement Village. ​
events and activities, and managing
any refurbishments.
She cherished her tight-knit
relationship with each of her
residents and being able to care
for all 106 of them as they moved
into the next stage of their lives.
The camaraderie between
residents and staff she witnessed
during the height of the Covid-19
pandemic in the country was one
of the many rewarding aspects of
her job.
But the role came with its challenges.
“For me, it’s doing the best I
can every day. We’re a family,”
she said.
“When we pressed pause on
our lives as we navigated our way
through the pandemic, fighting
a battle we knew nothing about,
it was such a pleasure to witness
the kind-heartedness between
[the residents].
“But lately I have struggled
as several residents have moved
into further care and have left
the village. They need that next
level of care, but it’s still a loss to
the village.”
Moore moved to Christchurch
to be closer to her parents 10
years ago after living in Sydney
as a nurse for 27 years.
She joined Bupa in 2011 to
continue her nursing work
before moving into her current
role at the retirement village six
years ago.
Her sister, Lynda Mackay, is
also the village manager at Bupa
Parklands on Papanui Retirement
Village, and she believed
their close relationship with their
grandparents was the inspiration
behind working in aged care.
“I followed her [Mackay] into
nursing. For us, having that close
relationship with our grandparents
was the inspiration behind
working in aged care,” she said.
“Being able to bring my nursing
experience into the village
manager role has also been
invaluable.”
We have dealt with Cameron Bailey for years because he has an
excellent understanding of
the housing market
and his knowledge and expertise is second to none.

Stream restoration complete
A PROJECT to restore and
enhance Cashmere Stream has
now been completed after more
than four years.
Armed with spades, local
landowners and the community
helped the Cashmere Stream
Care Group plant more than
2500 native plants in the headwaters
of the stream.
The shade provided by the
plants will help decrease weed
species in the stream and the
habitat will be more suitable for
kōura/freshwater crayfish, which
have been spotted in the catchment.
“There was a lot of work that
went into the preparation of
the site by our group members,
landowners, the city council,
Ravensdown and Environment
Canterbury,” Cashmere Stream
Care Group chairman Ken
Rouse said.
“It’s been a long journey but
it’s great to see the outcome
with well-established trees and
the final round of plants in the
ground.”
The group applied for funding,
weeded in-stream and bank
areas, carried out monitoring
and worked with landowners
throughout the project.

contributed to the deterioration
of the clarity and quality of the
water.
Since 2016, more than $60,000
of Immediate Steps biodiversity
funding has been allocated to the
project, as recommended by the
Christchurch West Melton Water
Zone Committee.
The funding went towards
plants, plant guards and fencing,
and maintenance of the plants
for three years following completion.
More than $500,000 has been
contributed through labour
and resource from the city
council.
“The project shows what can
be achieved when landowners,
community, and councils work
together towards a common
goal,” zone committee chairman
Kevin Brown said.
“Protecting Cashmere Stream
remains a priority for the health
of the waterways throughout
the catchment, including the
Heathcote/Ōpāwaho River
downstream.
“Seeing a project like this run
so well and so collaboratively has
been really inspiring.”
The city council has added
curves to the stream and re-contoured
the banks to make them
favourable for native plants like
kahikatea, kaikōmako, kowhai,
and koromiko.
They also undertook consenting,
project management, earthworks,
erosion and sediment
control, and the major component
of landscaping design and
civil engineering.
“We introduced some meanders
into the stream, as it had
been originally created into a
straight, drain-like waterway,”
said city council principal
waterways ecologist Dr Belinda
Margetts.
“We also introduced some
habitat in the forms of logs and
planted the banks with native
vegetation.
“The long-term benefits of the
works in this stream, and the
waterways in the wider catchment,
is really worth investing
in, to increase biodiversity and
improve water quality.”
Barrier being
considered to
prevent entry
• From page 1
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board chairwoman
Alexandra Davids said work was
currently being done behind
the scenes at the city council to
resolve some of the concerns of
the community.
“This is an issue that has been
going on for a while. We already
have got security guards going
down the road and locking up
different areas of concern,” she
said.
Davids also said the city
council was planning to install
a barrier which would prevent
vehicle entry into the car park at
night.
However, Davids did not think
temporary toilets would be a
good idea for the area.
“We know there is an
issue there but we would not
support putting in Portaloos
because you get high winds in
the area and you also get silly
people that want to push them
over which is not conducive to
anything.
“There are already toilets in
the area at Barnett Park. We will
make sure once the barrier is
put in we will get some signage
installed on it.”

experience, we personalise home and
business loans for Cantabrians.”

Music therapy course to
improve well-being in children
A PROGRAMME aimed at
using music as a resource for
wellbeing in primary schools
has recently launched at a
Woolston school.
More than 130 pupils from
Te Waka Unua Primary School
participated in rhythm4wellbeing
- a five-day introductory
course to learn important life
skills using instruments and the
“power of rhythm.”
The course is adapted from
the Rhythm2recovery programme,
who offer training
in this space for counsellors,
educators, youth workers, human
resource professionals and
more.
Rhythm4wellbeing supports
the New Zealand school curriculum
by providing musical
activities for social and emotional
learning.
Said registered music therapist
Liz Bolwell, who led the
course: “The students enjoyed
connecting with other group
members, exploring themes
such as friendships and courage,
and using their drums to learn
more about themselves in a fun
and motivating way.”
Rhythmic music positively

Council’s outdoor
pools set to open
OUTDOOR POOLS will open
on November 14, welcoming
thousands of water lovers over
the summer.
All five of the city council’s
summer facilities – Norman
Kirk Memorial in Lyttelton,
Templeton, Te Hāpua Halswell,
Waltham and Jellie Park in Burnside
– are primed for the seasonal
rush, with plans for pool parties
and fun activities.
Young children will also be
able to make a splash, with the
city council’s paddling pools
opening on the same day.
City council head of recreation,
sport and events Nigel Cox said
many Kiwis have a “lifelong connection
with their local pool.”
“For many, there is a real thrill
in taking their first dip of the season
– even if there is a bit of early
chill in the air,” he said.
“However, nothing really beats
an open-air pool on a hot day in
Christchurch.
“We encourage everyone to
check the hours, look out for our
popular party days and sign up for
the membership systems in place
for those who visit the Templeton
and Norman Kirk Memorial
pools.”
Cox said that Templeton will
operate on a membership basis
– with an $80 season pass – and
members can take their friends
and family as long as they leave a
payment in the honesty box.
“It will be brilliant to have all
the outdoor pools open for, hopefully,
a long, warm summer,” Cox
said.
The pool party season gets
under way at Jellie Park on November
28, from noon.
The party season will officially
wrap up with a “Dive-In Movie”
day at Jellie Park on March 6.
All outdoor pools will close on
March 28.
•Any individuals or groups
interested in helping with
the day-to-day running of
the pool, for things such
as water testing and light
cleaning, should email

Orana’s support organisation calls it a day
THE ORGANISATION that
was responsible for establishing
Orana Wildlife Park is winding
down after 50 years.
The South Island Zoological
Society was formed in 1970 with
a vision to create a major wildlife
park in the city.
Its project captured the imagination
of Cantabrians, and within
weeks, the society had grown
from eight founding members to
more than 100 people.
It took a further six years
though of planning, fundraising
and hard work before Orana
Wildlife Park opened.
“The society set out to develop
an open range, drive-through,
zoo,’’ SIZS vice-president David
Laughlin said.
“Starting with almost unusable
land – a dry, stony riverbed
– volunteers cleared the site,
initially with just hand tools.
It was back-breaking work. As
fundraising results increased,
second-hand equipment was
purchased resulting in significant
progress.
“After 50 years of operation,
the society has achieved its objectives
and made the decision to
wind down.”
On September 10, 1976,
Orana’s first animals arrived
from Australia. The ‘Noah’s Ark’
consisted of 18 lions (including
six cubs), two tiger cubs, two
donkeys, two camels, two water
buffalo and two Shetland ponies.
The dream of the SISZ became
a reality at 10am on September
25, 1976, when Orana Park, now
Orana Wildlife Park, opened.
“By 2pm, a queue of cars
stretched 7km along McLeans
Island. The last vehicles came
through the park in the dark,”
Left: The first car to enter the drivethrough
lion reserve at Orana Park

drive-through operated until 1995.

said McLaughlin.
Orana’s main trump card was
the drive-through lion reserve,
the first and only one of its type
in New Zealand. It operated
until 1995.
Today, Orana operates the
unique Lion Encounter – the
only one of its type in the Southern
Hemisphere.
The experience is a “historical
nod” to the drive-through days
and the vision of SIZS.
Once the park opened, Orana
Wildlife Trust was formed to run
and manage the zoo.
SISZ took on the role as a supporting
organisation and contributed
to capital projects over
the years with a mix of financial
and volunteer labour support.
SIZS also contributed to
Orana’s newest exhibit, a New
Zealand frog research facility for
maud island/hamilton’s frog – a
significant conservation project
with the aim of reliably breeding
them in captivity, something that
has not been achieved globally.
