Mora to stay on as
board chairman
• By Bea Gooding
MIKE MORA has done a
U-turn over his plan to step
down as chairman of Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton Community
Board.
Mora, 72, had planned to hand
over the reins after 28 years on
the board, serving more than 20
years as chairman, and deputy
chairman combined.
The plan was for deputy
chairman Andrei Moore to take
Mora’s position this year, with
Mora serving as deputy chairman
for the remainder of the
three-year term.
The current term will be
Mora’s last as he intends to retire
by 2022 to spend more time
with his family after nearly three
decades as an elected member of
the board.
He believed his decades of
experience and extensive knowledge
of the area were driving
forces behind his re-election.
Said Mora: “I feel like I’ve got
the confidence of the board. The
members wanted me to stay on
because there’s still quite a lot of
work to do on the Annual Plan
and the Long Term Plan.

VERDICT: Mike Mora has been re-elected as chairman of the Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community Board in spite of plans to retire this year.
Speeds
through
Yaldhurst
to lower
soon
SPEED LIMITS in Yaldhurst will
soon be reduced in response to
increased traffic in the area.
The changes will take place
from next month on State Highway
73 extending west through
the Yaldhurst township.
The existing speed limits were
80km/h and 100km/h, with
70km/h through the township.
“The speed limits on Yaldhurst
roads have been the subject of
ongoing community calls for
reductions, particularly with the
significant development in the
area which has generated more
pedestrian and cycling activity
alongside traffic,” said Jim Harland,
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport
Agency director regional relationships.
The technical assessment
conducted by Waka Kotahi
supports reductions to 60km/h
through the urban fringe and
Yaldhurst town centre with a
reduction to 80km/h to the west
of the town, while the intervening
rural section east of Yaldhurst is
to remain at 80km/h.

Council wants feedback on services
• By Bea Gooding
IS THE city council meeting
your needs when it comes to its
services and facilities?
That’s what the bosses at the
city council want to know as they
start on their annual residents’
survey.
Each year the city council
surveys residents across the city to
understand how satisfied they are
with services covering its parks,
libraries and service centres.
City council chief executive
Dawn Baxendale said the survey
was one of the tools
used to assess where
they were performing
well, and where
improvements
needed to be made
and prioritised.
“We want to find
out what is working
Dawn
Bexandale
well for residents and what’s not
working well because our focus,
as an organisation, is on meeting
the needs of our residents,” she
said.
“The findings of this year’s survey
programme will feed into the
development of our 2021-31 Long
Term Plan, so I would really
encourage people to share their
views if they are approached by
staff at a council location or if
they receive an email or letter
from us.”
HAVE YOUR SAY: The city council’s Christchurch Residents’ Survey gauges whether its
services and facilities, like Tūranga, are meeting residents’ needs. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
This year’s survey included
specific questions that will help
the city council decide what it
should prioritise in the LTP.
The LTP is the document that
councils are legally required to
produce every three years. It sets
out what the city council will do
over the next 10 years and how it
will pay for it.
“The Covid-19 pandemic
has prompted many people,
businesses and organisations to
rethink their plans and priorities
and to tighten their belts.
We are having to do that too,”
Baxendale said.
“As we start to review our plans
and priorities, we want to gather
your views about the opportunities,
challenges and choices that
Christchurch is facing.”
The city council urged residents
to participate in the survey
if they were approached or contacted
by staff.
The findings of the survey
programme will be made public
next year.

Changes to
bin collection
looked into
THE CITY council is looking
to change aspects of its kerbside
wheelie bin collection in a bid to
reduce contamination.
A report presented to the
Finance and Performance Committee
outlined plans to make the
service more flexible as part of a
review into solid waste management.
The work will give priority to
current kerbside collections. Flexibility
around bin sizes, fees, as
well as a separate glass collection
are also being investigated.
The three-bin kerbside system
has diverted about 65 per cent of
household recyclable and organic
materials from landfill since its
inception in 2009.
“We’ve been hearing from a lot
of people that their green bins
aren’t big enough and we are
known as the garden city, so we’ll
be looking at how we can make
this service better,” said Helen
Beaumont, city council head of
three waters and waste.
“It will also help us reduce the
amount of contamination we’re
getting in recycling bins.”
The first stage of the review will
be completed by February next
year to feed into the 2021-2031
Long Term Plan.

‘I want to get these things sorted’
• From page 1
“We just need to concentrate
on doing the job and getting
the best outcomes for our
community. I just want to get
these things sorted before I
retire at the end of this term.”
The community board
members voted to re-elect
Mora as its chairman for the
remainder of the term after no
other names were put forward.
Out of all the board members,
councillor Catherine Chu was
the only member who voted
against the decision.
Mora decided to continue for
another two years because there
was still unfinished business
to attend to in the wider
community.
By staying in the position, it
kept the momentum going on
any “outstanding issues” that
needed to be resolved before
passing the torch on to someone
new.
These included the Hornby
Centre’s construction, the
Halswell Junction Rd extension,
supporting “landlocked”
residents at Yaldhurst Village,
tidying up the Sockburn Service
Centre and park, and sorting
out pedestrian and cycleway
links between major centres in
Hornby.
He also wanted to put a
succession plan in place for the
area’s future in the next 10 to
20 years, setting goals now to
enable work towards them in
the next term and beyond.
In addition to Mora’s reelection,
former city councillor
Helen Broughton has been
elected as the board’s new
deputy chairwoman, taking
over from Moore.
In spite of previous tensions
between the pair, such as
Broughton’s concerns that
Mora’s priorities did not focus
on Riccarton, Mora believed
this would not get in the way of
future decisions.
“We work together even
though we don’t always see
eye-to-eye. We had a chat after
the meeting and we want to
put the past behind us and
move forward in a positive
direction for the community we
represent.”
Plans to take on another term
ISSUE: Mike
Mora wants
to see the
Sockburn
Service
Centre
tidied up
before he
retires.
after the current one ended was
not likely for Mora.
“If people want me to stay
for another term, I’m not
considering that at this point
in time – unless something
happens later on,” he said.
“I just want to concentrate
on more time for family and
other interests. At the end of
this term I would’ve spent 30
years in local government, that’s
quite a big chunk of a person’s
life.”
Increased traffic
reason for change
• From page 1
“The feedback we received provided
good support for speed reductions
in the area and did not identify any
particular further issues that we were
not aware of,” says Mr Harland.
“Some people did, however, call
for lower speeds and to extend the
lower speed zones further west of
Yaldhurst, which we may consider in
the future.
“The increase in traffic and subsequent
crashes, along with the commercial
development and the many driveways
off the highway, means 60 and 80
kilometres per hour limits are safe and
appropriate speeds for this area.”
The city council consulted on the
speed limits for sections of Ryans,
Pound, Hasketts and School Rds.
The speed limits for these roads
are being reduced from 70km/h or
80km/h to 60km/h.
Sections of Ryans, Hasketts and
School Rds have already been implemented.
The remaining changes on Ryans
and Pound Rds will be co-ordinated
with changes to SH73.
“Improving the safety of the
road network is a critical issue for
the council. These changes will
reduce speeds at approaches to
high-risk intersections and maintain
consistency of speed limits across the
joint road network,” city council head
of transport Richard Osborne said.

Ollie helps design health hub
FORMER Christchurch Boys’
High School student Ollie
Latimer has battled mental
illness and helped design
plans for a youth health hub in
Christchurch.
Latimer’s mum succumbed
to breast cancer when he was
just four-years-old and his dad
took his own life in 2017.
Youth Hub Trust chairwoman
Dame Sue Bagshaw
helped him through this.
Now, the health hub proposed
for Salisbury St, which
will help others like Latimer
if approved, has received resource
consent.
Said Latimer, now 26: “I was
really struggling with depression
when I first reached out
for help.
“Sue was really there for me
from the start, helping me deal
with troubling issues both at
school and home. I had lost
my mum to breast cancer
when I was just four. The welcoming,
non-judgmental atmosphere
at 298 Youth Health
Centre really helped me.”
Once stronger, Latimer left
Christchurch to spend the
next five years in Auckland,
studying for a degree in spatial
design.
But in 2017, he returned to
APPROVED: Resource consent has been granted for a
youth health and well-being hub on Salisbury St.
Inset: Ollie Latimer.
Christchurch after his dad’s
death.
“I was really struggling to
cope with renewed grief and
turned once again to Sue for
counselling.
“That was super important
for me and I was able to pick
up again where we left off from
high school. Sue is incredible.
I spent many hours with her
through it all. What she does
to support youth is amazing.
She is there for so many young
people, she’s just so selfless
and caring,” said Latimer.
Bagshaw knew Latimer
needed some direction in his
life and sensed an opportunity
to involve him and his skills
with her ambitious one-stopshop
youth hub plans, then in
their infancy.
She asked him to a meeting
where he was introduced to
the Field Studio team, who
were soon engaged to design
the hub. Bagshaw and Field
Studio’s director thought Latimer’s
skills would be a good
fit for the project and Latimer
was invited in to the firm’s office
to join the project team.
Once built, the Youth Hub
– Te Hurihanga Ō Rangatahi
– will be a communal place
of growth, support and wellbeing
for 10 to 25-year-olds.
It will provide support services
including access to catchup
education, healthcare,
mental health counselling,
vocational training, recreation
and employment.
The centre will provide
space for about 12 different
youth organisations including
298 Youth Health Centre,
YouthLine, Qtopia and the
Christchurch City Mission.
Resource consent approval
comes just weeks after another
positive win for the ambitious
project – a $10 million
dollar kick-start from the
Government’s $3 billion dollar
Covid-19 Response and
Recovery Fund, set aside for
shovel-ready projects.
“That generous investment
is around half of what we
ultimately need to make the
youth hub a reality,” said
Bagshaw.
Neighbours have been
consulted, with the design
adjusted to address concerns.
Although resource consent
has been granted, affected
parties have until the end of
November to lodge an appeal.

Event to recycle your
electronic waste
EACH YEAR, New
Zealanders create an
average of 19kg of e-waste
per person, which is an
alarming statistic. To raise
awareness, Kilmarnock
Enterprises has teamed
up with the Rotary
Club of Christchurch
Sunrise and Warehouse
Stationery to organise an
electronic recycling day for
Christchurch locals.
As well as putting the
spotlight on New Zealand’s
e-waste problem, the event
that will be be held on November
21, will also raise
awareness of the important
role Kilmarnock plays in
the community.
For over 60 years, the
Christchurch-based charity
has been in the business of
changing lives. Since 1958,
their mission has been to
provide employment opportunities
for individuals
with disabilities.
At Kilmarnock, people
gain experience in a large
variety of work, including
food packing, assembly,
refurbishing and electronic
recycling. By providing an
inclusive and enriching
paid work environment,
their team are encouraged
to unlock their full potential.
In 2017, Kilmarnock
even established a training
academy, to give individuals
with disabilities another
chance to excel in education
and gain NZQA credits.
In addition to breaking
down social barriers,
Kilmarnock is passionate
about making a positive
environmental impact.
After playing a key role in
the Government’s TV Take
Back Programme, they
decided to launch their
own electronic recycling
scheme. The local charity
now processes a range of
electronic items, and provides
both public drop-off
and corporate partnerships
for a small fee.
They dismantle a variety
of e-waste so it can be demanufactured
to recover
the maximum amount of
recyclable materials. This
also ensures hazardous
substances don’t make their
way into landfill.
Recycling these metals
plays an important role
when it comes to conserving
Aotearoa’s natural
resources.
It’s important that we
all actively try to find
ways to reduce our carbon
footprint. That’s how we can
all make a difference.

GRATITUDE: New World Wigram owner James Backhouse, is presented
with a thank you card by Oaklands School pupils Amelia White, Alex
Montague-Ebbs, Emilia Montague-Ebbs, Megan Siave, Declan Siave and
Noah Blake.
Oaklands School gets
behind local businesses
• By Kim Thomas
OAKLANDS SCHOOL
is promoting businesses
owned by its families or
Halswell locals as a way
of supporting them in
difficult economic times.
The Halswell-based
school is also giving
thank you cards made by
students to businesses that
have previously supported
fundraising activities.
Oaklands parent teacher
association president
Cameron Montague-Ebbs
said it wanted to thank
and support those who had
given generously to school
fundraising activities in
the past, or businesses
that were owned by school
families.
The PTA, with the
backing of school leaders,
developed the Oaklands
Te Kura o Ōwaka Business
Directory and promoted it
on the school’s newsletter,
website and on the PTA’s
Facebook page.
It hoped when people
needed a product or service
they would consider
giving their custom to
businesses on the list, she
said.
“Covid-19 has had a big
impact on many aspects of
life and we wanted to do
what we could to support
our community,” she said.
“Local business have
been very supportive of
our fundraising activities
in the past but we understand
in this environment
if they are not able to be as
generous as they previously
have.
“Instead of asking, we
wanted to say thank you
and let them know we are
grateful for what they have
already done for our school
community.”
WESTERN NEWS
The school has had to
alter or cancel a number
of fundraising activities
this year to keep pupils
safe, such as regular discos,
sausage sizzles and a quiz
night, Montague-Ebbs said.
The school was still planning
to hold its end-of-year
community celebration,
the school gala, on December
11 from 5.30pm.
“The focus of our gala
this year is a celebration
of each other, and we are
inviting families to come
and enjoy rides, games
and great food with their
families and friends.”
Oaklands School
principal Margaret Trotter
said the local community
was always important to
the school and fostering
that connection was
increasingly important
following the Covid-19
pandemic.

Family history for Coast to Coast hopefuls
The St Andrew’s
College trio for next
year’s Coast to Coast
multisport event has
plenty of experience
to call on before they
tackle the two-day
race from Kumara
Beach to New
Brighton
MEMBERS OF St Andrew’s
College’s mixed team for next
year’s Coast to Coast don’t have
to look too far for advice on
how to tackle the multisport
endurance event for the first
time, as they follow in familiar
footsteps.
Kayaker Georgia Sparks can
get paddling tips for tackling the
Waimakariri from her father
Geoff, a seven-time competitor
and brother Henry, who
represented St Andrew’s in last
year’s 243km slog from Kumara
Beach to New Brighton Pier.
“I’ve done lots of adventures
with my family, but not
kayaking specifically,” Sparks
said.
“I’ve done rafting down the
rivers and some kayaking as
a family, but not on my own
as such, so this will be a good
experience.
“Dad’s done the event a fair
OPPORTUNITIES: Nate Pringle emulates his father and uncle when he tackles the cycling leg of next year’s Coast to Coast
in the schools’ division for St Andrew’s College. Georgia Sparks has the previous Coast to Coast experience of
family members to call on when she makes her debut in the multisport endurance event next year for St Andrew’s College.
few times though, so it’ll be good
to learn from him.”
Nate Pringle also has family
history to fall back on as he
contemplates the cycling leg of
the two-day event on February
12-13, with his father Carl and
uncle Aaron winning the twoperson
team event in 1999.
“I’m really looking forward
to it, we’ve always gone down
and watched so it’ll be cool to be
competing,” he said.
Ben Ferrier is the odd man out
as the first member of his family
to tackle the iconic exercise,
though the runner is wellacquainted
with the terrain.
“We used to live in Westport,
so we’d go past the entrance to
the run course, look up Goat
Pass, and drive past Klondyke
corner,” he said.
Ferrier also has the perfect
place to train with his family
now living at Castle Hill.
“I’ll hopefully get a fair bit
of training around Goat Pass
and Craigieburn. I really enjoy
running, you get to see some
pretty amazing places while
you’re running. You push
yourself and see what you can
achieve. It’s all down to you.”
While the St Andrew’s trio
are training hard individually,
their collective opportunity to
win the school’s division has
been boosted by the team
receiving Kathmandu Academy
prize.
They receive coaching and
mentoring from experienced
multisporter Sam Clark, while
Sparks benefits from a grade 2
whitewater kayaking course and
the use of a kayak for training
and the race.
Pringle has the use of a road
bike on loan and the team camp
for free at the Kumara race
course.

Anthony Wilding village offers john so much
John walks out of his
serviced apartment door
into a wonderful plant-filled
atrium, which is a part of
Anthony Wilding Retirement
Village he particularly enjoys.
There is a vibrant feel
within the atrium, which also
houses a large pond and
water feature. Here in this
Halswell village the residents
and staff go about their daily
business, there are things to
do and people to meet.
John really enjoys the
social aspect of serviced
apartment living, and the
choice of an apartment suits
him. He is in the heart of the
village, gets a cooked midday
meal each day, plus he
has freedom to go and do
what he wants.
John visits his wife Joan
most days who, having
suffered a stroke in 2010, lives
in specialist care in Cashmere.
The couple originally
relocated to Christchurch
from Motueka in 2011, following
the Canterbury earthquakes
and Joan’s health issues.
While they were living
together at Anthony Wilding,
they enjoyed being together in
a townhouse, but when Joan
needed specialist care John
felt the time was right to move
into an apartment where he
could more easily mix and
mingle with fellow residents
and staff.
“Everyone knows each
other. The staff here are
excellent – you wouldn’t get
a better lot of people...
you just can’t fault them.
If you’ve got a complaint or
a question, you get excellent
follow up,” he says.
John is originally from
Timaru and spent his
childhood on the farm where
his parents worked. He too fell
into the management of farms,
prompting an eventual move
to Mahana and the Nelson
region where he farmed sheep
and later in crops. He helped
grow and tend to tobacco
vines, before moving into
kiwifruit and apples after the
tobacco industry underwent a
shakeup from the early 1980s.
He and Joan brought
up three children, with their
daughter Paige now living
in Christchurch, their son
Michael, living in Birregurra,
outside of Geelong in Victoria,
and their other son Tim
working as a travel agent in
Richmond, near Nelson.
When they first moved
into Anthony Wilding in 2011
they immediately joined in
the social events such as
the weekly Happy Hour. As a
couple they settled into the
village well. “You make friends
with everybody, and then you
get to talk to everybody.”
That was before Joan
required more specialised
health care and moved to
Cashmere. Staff still regularly
ask after Joan. “The staff
have been just so kind.”
John loves to keep in
contact with family, and his
apartment walls are adorned
with photos of his family and
grandchildren. He is up to
date with how each of his
grandchildren are progressing
through university.
He also likes that he can
take his car out of the village
each day for a visit Joan, to
keep in touch with the wider
community and do some
shopping. “We get our midday
meal (included in the fee)
in the dining room, but we
get our own breakfast and
tea,” he says.
“We can go down and get
morning tea in the dining room
at 10 am or afternoon tea if we
want to. Plus, there’s always
activities going on.”
John enjoys the easy life at Ryman Healthcare’s Anthony Wilding Village.
Sales Advisor Susie
Alayne says now is a great
time for prospective residents
to come into Anthony Wilding
to take a look at the quality
facilities on offer in the village.
“It’s been fantastic the amount
of interest that’s been around.”
The village has a bowling
green, a pool and a spa,
library, gym, hair and beauty
salon, bar and shop. Both for
independent and serviced
apartment residents, we
offer a fixed weekly fee
for the entire time you
occupy your townhouse or
apartment – guaranteed.*

Preparing young for life’s adversities
Myriad groups help
keep our community
moving. Reporter Bea
Gooding speaks to
Life Education Trust
Canterbury community
engagement manager
Andy Gray about why
the trust has been an
iconic fixture in schools
for the past 30 years
and why he’s involved
Could you tell me a bit
about what the Life Education
Trust does, and how it came
to be what it is today in
Canterbury?
The Life Education Trust
started over 30 years ago, which
started in Canterbury. There’s
now 32 regional trusts across
the country, and one national
branch. The vision is to inspire
tamariki and rangatahi to make
positive choices and to give them
the power to do that. The trust
addresses challenges including
obesity, substance use, mental
health and well-being and
bullying.
We operate in three mobile
classrooms in Canterbury,
they’re like big container shells
that have been turned into
REWARDING: Life Education Trust Canterbury community engagement manager Andy
Gray is passionate about inspiring children to make the right decisions in life.

classrooms and are moved
around different schools –
whether it was as far as Omihi in
North Canterbury, right down
to Rakaia. Whether schools have
35 students or 500 students, we
end up making our way there no
matter where they are.
What issues is the trust
currently facing in the wake of
Covid-19?
Quite a few in all fairness –
when Covid-19 hit during the
first lockdown, even though we
were still continuing to support
the teachers and tamariki during
lockdown, we didn’t get any
school fees come in, and the
funders that we usually used
were all closed down.
It’s been tough, but we
managed to get through it
and we’re in a better position
now. We reached out to a lot
of people that have done quite
well throughout Covid-19, like
supermarkets, and to the Rata
Foundation and Lottery Grants
Board who have helped us out.
With Covid-19 it’s a doubleedged
sword. It’s great that
we’re busier now and we’re
looking to expand to a fourth
classroom because of it. But the
double-edged side of that sword
is obviously with increased
demand it means that more
people are affected, there are
higher anxiety levels.
We’ve learned a lot about
mental health from the
earthquakes in the past 10 years
and also the mosque attacks
where kids have been affected.
Things like a lack of employment
that comes from it just filters
through to the kids, so we expect
to see increased demand over the
next few months.
The trust has been iconic in
Canterbury schools for the past
30 years. What do you attribute
towards its success?
Obviously, the most
memorable thing about Life
Education is Harold the Giraffe.
But the reason why I think we’re
so iconic is because we tend to
react to the issues currently at
hand.

‘It’s the kids’ reactions which I find the most rewarding’
•From page 11
We don’t get any government
or Ministry of Education funding,
so we aren’t led by their
agenda, and it’s why we’re the
number one health education
provider. We don’t want to be led
by what they want, which is why
we work with teachers to adapt
[the lesson]. I think that’s what
makes us so successful.
Why did you decide to join
the trust?
I’ve got a wee eight-year-old
boy and things are a little bit different
now than back in my day;
kids have got different challenges
now, so I just wanted to make
sure I was getting in touch with
what was going on. Kids seem to
be a lot more involved and more
aware of what’s happening around
them because of social media and
access to the internet. That was
my excuse to get involved and
understand what’s happening in
my own child’s head.
What are the rewarding parts
of your job?
The kids – when Harold comes
on board, the kids wander in and
when they see him, they all get
pretty excited to hear what he
has to say. It’s the kids’ reactions
which I find the most rewarding.
Like most jobs, it’s not always
fun and games. What can be
challenging about your role?
I think seeing the statistics
that are pretty grim, like when I
hear about the teen suicide rates
or how many kids are stressed.
About 35 per cent of kids are
stressed at least once a week.
It’s like, bloody hell, these kids
are eight or nine-years-old, they
shouldn’t be stressed, they should
be watching Pokémon on TV or
something.
Tell me a bit about where life
began for you – where did you
grow up? How about family?
I was born in Salford, UK.
When I was about 13-years-old
my folks decided to ship us all
over, with my brothers and sister,
and start life afresh over here. I
ended up going to school down
the road at Christchurch Boys’
High School, and eventually at
the University of Canterbury.
After travelling overseas for a
while, I came back and became
the director at Specsavers (Papanui)
after opening up a franchise
here. After selling that I was
lucky that I had a bit more free to
pick and choose the jobs I wanted
to do, and that’s when the Life
Education Trust job came up.
ICON: The Life Education Trust has been visiting Canterbury
schools for more than 30 years.
My two brothers live in Sunshine
Coast and Gold Coast in
Australia. My sister is here in
Christchurch so she’s not very
far from me, and my parents
are retired now and live in the
Hurunui District.
Do you remember much from
life back in England?
I remember quite a lot of it. It’s
quite a rough spot where we were,
a lot of cars were being nicked
every night and there were a lot
of fights, you could just watch it
from your window - that’s what it
was all to me.
One of my favourite parts
about my home town is the
football, everyone enjoyed a bit
of soccer. You could play it in
the streets, you’d just jump over
the back fence after school and
go play with your friends in the
streets.
Aside from your work, what
do you like to do in your spare
time?
I enjoy any sport, especially
soccer being English and all.
I’ve always the idea of making
something myself so I make short
films on the side.
I make any type of short film,
it’s just a matter of writing a
script and trying to gain funding
to do it.
I’ve always loved movies, the
idea for me growing up was to
become either a football player, a
fireman or a moviemaker.

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.
