‘Loose<br />
dogs’<br />
may be<br />
killing<br />
cats<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
PEOPLE ARE being advised to<br />
keep their cats inside after reports<br />
some have been killed or injured<br />
by dogs.<br />
A resident posted on the<br />
Hornby Neighbourhood Watch<br />
Facebook group last week saying<br />
they spoke to a man who said his<br />
cat was eaten by dogs in Hei Hei,<br />
near Hornby.<br />
Said the post: “Some guy<br />
drove past and was talking to my<br />
partner and some dogs on Tauiwi<br />
Cres has eaten his cat. Can’t<br />
remember if it was one or two<br />
dogs but this has happened in the<br />
last two hours. Just a heads up to<br />
make sure your fur babies come<br />
home tonight.”<br />
The post was responded to by<br />
residents who have had similar<br />
experiences and others who urged<br />
people to lock their cats inside.<br />
Someone commented with a<br />
screenshot of a post from another<br />
member of the Facebook group<br />
which said their neighbour’s cat<br />
was killed by two “loose dogs”<br />
around Parker St and Foremans<br />
Rd, Hornby. • Turn to page 3<br />

Festive season good for retailers<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A SHOPPING boom in Papanui<br />
during the festive season made<br />
it one of the suburbs with the<br />
largest retail spending increase<br />
across the city.<br />
A report by economic development<br />
agency, ChristchurchNZ,<br />
revealed spending in December<br />
shot up four per cent city-wide,<br />
and nine per cent in the city<br />
centre, compared to data from<br />
the same month in 2019.<br />
Along with an 18 per cent increase<br />
in Papanui, Lyttelton and<br />
Spreydon also had the largest<br />
growth in spending.<br />
The growth follows a tough<br />
financial year for the city, with<br />
the absence of international<br />
tourists, a lockdown, and alert<br />
level changes.<br />
Garden City Produce on<br />
Cranford St only opened in November<br />
last year. Owner Daryl<br />
Morris has no regrets setting up<br />
a new business in the midst of a<br />
pandemic.<br />
The family business saw<br />
demand surge in December,<br />
particularly leading up to<br />
Christmas and has been “steady”<br />
ever since. Berries, he said, were<br />
the most popular purchase.<br />
Said Morris: “[Demand] is<br />
improving every week – about<br />
10 per cent a week, even with<br />
no advertising. We didn’t know<br />
BOOM: Garden City Produce owners Daryl and Kate<br />
Morris, and daughter Amelia Morris, who say the family<br />
business has been a success since it opened late last year.<br />

what to expect.<br />
“It was busy because of Christmas,<br />
but January was actually<br />
busier with more people knowing<br />
where we are.”<br />
In spite of the holiday season<br />
ending, Morris was feeling optimistic<br />
for the year ahead.<br />
“I’m an optimist and always<br />
look on the bright side. I<br />
wouldn’t have opened [the business]<br />
otherwise.”<br />
The same can be said at Black<br />
Sheep on Papanui Rd – the<br />
country’s leading retailer of<br />
electric scooters, e-bikes, and<br />
hoverboards.<br />
Owner Luke Ambrose said<br />
there was a “big demand” for<br />
products all year, but December<br />
proved to be different.<br />
He was relieved the business<br />
did not suffer too greatly last<br />
year, however, delays in importing<br />
products overseas were the<br />
main concern currently.<br />
“December was quite busy, last<br />
year was a lot busier than 2019,”<br />
he said.<br />
“People seem to be spending<br />
their money on bikes because<br />
they can’t go anywhere [overseas].<br />
It’s made people realise<br />
they want to get out a bit more.”<br />
The report said, popular items<br />
on the shopping list included<br />
apparel, home and recreational<br />
goods, personal items, groceries,<br />
and alcohol.<br />
However, fuel and automotive<br />
spending decreased by five per<br />
cent – a trend in recent years<br />
following a push for residents to<br />
use alternative transport.<br />
Spending on clothing and<br />
personal items saw the greatest<br />
growth in December, with<br />
domestic visitor spend up 20<br />
per cent compared to the same<br />
period in 2019.<br />
“Across the city, retail spending<br />
was robust in December<br />
2020 as consumers prepared for<br />
Christmas,” the ChristchurchNZ<br />
report said.<br />
“With December being the<br />
first month of the summer and<br />
holiday season, the impact of<br />
closed borders on the visitor<br />
economy has become more apparent<br />
and will continue to do so<br />
as the season progresses.”<br />

Number of cats<br />
reported missing<br />
• From page 1<br />
The person who posted the<br />
screenshot said she had seen five<br />
posts about cats attacked by what<br />
she believes were the same dogs in<br />
the area.<br />
Another comment said: “I<br />
honestly feel for the owners on<br />
both parts. My partner and I have<br />
decided with all the dogs that<br />
roam around Manurere St [Hei<br />
Hei] that we need to keep our kitten<br />
inside even when she grows up<br />
unless we are at home.”<br />
The person who made the post<br />
said the number of cats going<br />
missing in the area “is just getting<br />
shocking.”<br />

manages dog control issues, did<br />

Cancer Society shuttle service gets boost<br />
THE CANCER Society’s<br />
Canterbury West Coast division<br />
shuttle service received a boost<br />
recently with a combined<br />
donation of almost $13,000 from<br />
23 South Island-based Lions<br />
clubs.<br />
THe free shuttle service<br />
transports patients staying<br />
in the Cancer Society’s<br />
accommodation, Daffodil<br />
House in Merivale and Daffodil<br />
Lodge in Riccarton, to and from<br />
radiation and chemotherapy<br />
appointments at Christchurch<br />
Hospital.<br />
Janice Porter-Hoare,<br />
fundraising and events manager<br />
for the Cancer Society’s CWC<br />
division, said that the Lions<br />
Clubs’ significant donation was<br />
a huge help towards funding the<br />
$65,000 required to operate the<br />
shuttle each year.<br />
“The shuttle currently operates<br />
from 7.30am until 9pm Monday<br />
to Friday, which translates to<br />
approximately 16,000 individual<br />
patient trips. Given that the<br />
patients we are providing our<br />
service for, come from all over<br />
the South Island it is fabulous<br />
to see local Lions Clubs from a<br />
variety of regions supporting<br />
this Christchurch-based service,”<br />
Porter-Hoare said.<br />
Porter-Hoare acknowledged<br />
that this was the fourth<br />
consecutive year that the Lions<br />
Clubs had donated to the shuttle<br />
service.<br />
“The late John Cramond from<br />
Motueka organised the first<br />
donation in 2017 after having<br />
used the shuttle service himself<br />
while having cancer treatment<br />
in Christchurch,” Porter-Hoare<br />
said.<br />
“Sadly John passed away last<br />
year, but his legacy lives on in<br />
this donation, which is extremely<br />
important to us given that we<br />
anticipate the demand for the<br />
shuttle service to grow even<br />
further during <strong>2021</strong>.”<br />
Lions Club representative<br />
Christine Stewart, 1st Vice<br />
District Governor for District<br />
202J, visited Daffodil House to<br />
see the shuttle service in action<br />
and accepted a certificate of<br />
thanks from the Cancer Society<br />
on behalf of the contributing<br />
Lions Clubs.<br />
In addition to providing<br />
accommodation and transport<br />
services, the Cancer Society<br />
provides education and support<br />
services for cancer patients and<br />
their families, as well as coordinating<br />
and funding cancer<br />
research.<br />

Perfect job for an interest in nature<br />
Dean Pendrigh is the<br />
collections curator for<br />
the water garden, azalea<br />
garden and the pinetum in<br />
the Botanic Gardens and<br />
has been working there for<br />
the past 35 years. He talks<br />
to Ella Somers<br />
SKILLED: Dean Pendrigh tends to the plants in the Botanic Gardens. He has always had<br />
an interest in nature.<br />
A PASSION for nature led Dean<br />
Pendrigh to pursue a botanical<br />
career immediately after high<br />
school and he started his<br />
four-year apprenticeship at the<br />
Botanic Gardens in 1986.<br />
His apprenticeship included a<br />
brief scholarship to Melbourne,<br />
on his return he continued working<br />
at the gardens.<br />
Pendrigh said he has “always<br />
had an interest in nature” but it<br />
wasn’t until high school when his<br />
uncle introduced him to orchids<br />
that “really got me interested in<br />
plants and native plants as well.”<br />
He enjoys botanical work<br />
because every season is different<br />
and “something will be far better<br />
one year and not the other,” he<br />
said.<br />
“I like the biogeography and<br />
learning about where plants<br />
come from and how plants react<br />
to other plants and in different<br />
countries.”<br />
As well as maintaining the<br />
collections and keeping careful<br />
plant records, a large part of Pendrigh’s<br />
job includes tasks such as<br />
weeding, pruning, and cutting<br />
hedges.<br />
Watering takes up a lot of time<br />
as well because “a lot of my areas<br />
don’t have any actual automated<br />
irrigation so we do it by hand,”<br />
he said.<br />
Due to the names of plants<br />
changing frequently, updating<br />
and labelling records is a<br />
continual project and can be<br />
BECAUSE YOUR<br />
FEET MATTER<br />
frustrating.<br />
“You get to know the name of<br />
a plant and then a botanist will<br />
change it,” Pendrigh said.<br />
“Sometimes you’ll change a<br />
label and then they’ll change it<br />
back to the original name.”<br />
Pendrigh said that while he<br />
gets a lot of good comments<br />
from people who come through<br />
the garden, “a lot of people<br />
don’t realise how much work is<br />
40 years<br />
combined<br />
experience<br />
involved,” he said.<br />
In comparison to other trades<br />
as well, it’s not recognised as<br />
much as it should be.<br />
“There is a lot of knowledge<br />
that you need to know, and it<br />
takes a long time to build up that<br />
knowledge, especially that plant<br />
knowledge,” he said.<br />
“The names of plants you have<br />
to learn as well, it’s like learning<br />
another language.”<br />
oN sAle Now!<br />
Pendrigh’s passion for<br />
“everything botanical” has<br />
inspired him to travel to<br />
places across the world where<br />
interesting flora lives, including<br />
Africa.<br />
“They’ve got a very diverse<br />
flora,” he said.<br />
“It increased my interest in<br />
plants even more seeing them in<br />
their natural habitat.”<br />
He doesn’t have a favourite<br />
plant but if he had to name his<br />
favourite plant group, it would be<br />
plants from the southern hemisphere,<br />
New Zealand, Australia,<br />
and South Africa in particular.<br />
“There’s some interesting links<br />
between the floras of those countries,”<br />
Pendrigh said.<br />
“And because I’ve seen them in<br />
the wild, you appreciate them a<br />
lot more.”<br />
One of the most interesting<br />
visitors that the Botanic Gardens<br />
has had in Pendrigh’s time was<br />
a visit from the Dalai Lama in<br />
1992.<br />
“He planted a himalayan pine<br />
tree in my area,” Pendrigh said.<br />

Yacht club to celebrate 100 years<br />
PLEASANT POINT Yacht Club celebrates<br />
its centennial this weekend.<br />
The club, now based in South New<br />
Brighton Park, began in 1921 on the shores<br />
of the estuary just behind where the South<br />
New Brighton School is today. The area was<br />
then known as Pleasant Point Domain.<br />
In 1929 the club moved across to the<br />
western shore to an area of mud flats at the<br />
mouth of the Avon River that would become<br />
known as Rat Island.<br />
Over the years, the club built up and<br />
improved the land together with the club<br />
facilities and held summer sailing and<br />
racing programmes, teaching hundreds of<br />
children and adults how to sail. That was<br />
until the first of the Canterbury earthquakes<br />
on September 4, 2010 damaged the<br />
buildings and land beyond repair.<br />
In the 10 years since, it found a new site<br />
and has built a new yacht club (opened in<br />
September 2019) in South New Brighton<br />
Park – just a stone’s throw from where it all<br />
began in 1921.<br />
The centennial celebrations will provide<br />
a great opportunity to relive the highs and<br />
lows of the club’s 100 years, especially the<br />
last 10 years of the rebuild.<br />
The celebrations kick off with a noggin<br />
‘n natter on Friday night, on Saturday, the<br />
Sullivan Cup, which is the club’s main open<br />
event, will be sailed, coupled with another<br />
major trophy, the Arch Lamb trophy for the<br />
Sunburst class.<br />
The races will feature multi-hulls, trailer<br />
yachts and senior and junior racing dingy<br />
classes and are open to other yacht club<br />
members.<br />
Saturday’s sailing will be followed by a<br />
celebration dinner.<br />
On Sunday, the club will run its Classic<br />
Yacht Race, first sailed at the club’s 75th<br />
celebrations. This will be coupled with a<br />
display of classic boats of all types owned<br />
by members of the Classic Boat Group of<br />
Canterbury. There will be plenty for the<br />
public to see on Saturday and Sunday.<br />
For more information, phone Ian Douglas<br />
on 027 4719 208.<br />

Camera cradles to help track coastline change<br />
THE PUBLIC will be able to<br />
help track how New Brighton’s<br />
coastline is changing over<br />
time.<br />
Camera cradles have been<br />
installed at New Brighton Pier<br />
to encourage people to take<br />
part in the CoastSnap community<br />
science project.<br />
CoastSnap relies on the<br />
public taking photos at the<br />
same locations at different<br />
times and sending them to<br />
the city council. This will help<br />
determine how coastlines are<br />
changing over time due to<br />
human activity and natural<br />
processes such as storms,<br />
rising sea levels and day-to-day<br />
changes in the beach structure.<br />
Camera cradles have also<br />
been set up at Taylors Mistake<br />
to track how its coastline is<br />
changing.<br />
Said city council head<br />
of planning and strategic<br />
transport David Griffiths: “We<br />
have set up camera cradles at<br />
Taylors Mistake and on the<br />
New Brighton Pier in the hope<br />
that visitors to those locations<br />
will take part in the project<br />
by taking a photo and sharing<br />
it on the CoastSnap app, via<br />
Twitter or Instagram, or by<br />
emailing coastsnapchch@ccc.<br />
govt.nz<br />
“Using a specialised<br />
technique known as<br />
photogrammetry, CoastSnap<br />
turns your photos into<br />
valuable coastal data that is<br />
used by coastal scientists to<br />
understand and forecast how<br />
coastlines might change in the<br />
coming decades.<br />
“The beach and dunes at<br />
New Brighton and Taylors<br />
Mistake are dynamic, natural<br />
systems that are constantly<br />
changing. CoastSnap will<br />
help us to better understand<br />
how the beaches respond to<br />
changes in wave conditions,<br />
weather and extreme storm<br />
events.<br />
“Every photo that is taken will<br />
add to a community database<br />
that will be used by scientists<br />
and planners to map shoreline<br />
changes. That information<br />
will help us to improve how<br />
we manage treasured coastal<br />
environments, so please get<br />
snapping.<br />
“There’s a sign at each<br />
camera cradle site explaining<br />
what you need to do so it is an<br />
easy project for people to get<br />
involved in.’’<br />
The CoastSnap app can be<br />
downloaded from the app<br />
store or Google Play.<br />
CoastSnap is a joint project<br />
involving the city council,<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
and the Canterbury University.<br />
USEFUL: The public can now use camera cradles installed<br />
on New Brighton Pier, like the one at Taylors Mistake<br />
(right), to help city council track coastline changes.<br />
