won the chance to meet
Tactix captain Jane Watson
and Mystics captain Sulu
Fitzpatrick.
The friends led the teams
onto the court as part of
the ANZ Future Captains
programme.
Henrietta is already a
budding netballer and had her
very first five-a-side game only
a week prior. She was awestruck
seeing the elite teams caught in
a tiebreaker.

LACK OF volunteers, funding
shortages, behavioural issues
among youth, loneliness and the
emotional toll of Covid-19.
These are the major issues community
groups and residents are
facing in Papanui as identified by
the groups that serve the area.
The concerns were discussed
at the bi-monthly Papanui Interagency
Community Network
meeting last week, where groups
can share any recent successes or
concerns.
Papanui Baptist Freedom Trust
community worker Damian
Ardell said groups were interested
in a co-ordinated approach in
working through common issues
following the meeting.
The trust provides food bank
assistance, practical, social and
emotional support.
Said Ardell: “The main issues
we’re facing in the community
is related to people with mental
illness, loneliness, and struggling
with the socio-economic aspects
of their lives. Alcohol is always an
issue, but the issue of drug [use] in
particular is growing.

Planting project marks Arbor Day
A MAMMOTH planting
project this weekend marks the
start of a plan to reduce the risk
of flooding in Mairehau and
urban Christchurch.
Conservation Volunteers New
Zealand is hosting their first,
big Cranford Basin community
planting day of the winter season
on Saturday in conjunction
with the city council.
The event also marks World
Environment and Arbor Day.
CVNZ’s conservation officer
Donna Lusby said they were
also offering community planting
days during the week for
businesses and organisations
to be part of creating a living
legacy for the city.
“It’s a great chance for organisations
to muck in and work
together to plant a forest, with
benefits for the team as well as
carbon off-setting and giving
back to the environment,” Lusby
said.
Cranford Basin will be transformed
over the next decade
into a multi-purpose space,
primarily providing stormwater
retention services, but also a
space for recreation and biodiversity.
City council parks programmes
and partnerships
manager Kate Russell said the
planting day marks the start of
the mammoth task of planting
CONSERVATION: Thousands of trees will be planted by volunteers at the Cranford Basin
this weekend to mark World Environment and Arbor Day.

40,000 trees in the Cranford
Basin,
”CVNZ has taken on the
challenge of creating the largest
group of kahikatea in Ōtautahi
Christchurch since pre-European
times,” she said.
“The kahikatea is Aotearoa’s
tallest native tree and loves
wetland areas. When mature,
they will be a food source for
kereru, bellbird and maybe one
day, even tui.”
More than 7000 of the native
conifer have already been
planted in the basin to date,
Russell said.
The rest will be planted this
season with three other public
events planned in June, September
and October.
The project is part of the
Matariki Tu Rākau One
Billion Trees programme,
which was launched on April
25, 2018, to mark the 100-year
anniversary of the end of the
World War 1.
The planting event runs from
10am to noon. Gumboots or
sturdy footwear and gloves are
essential.
The Richmond Community
Gardens will be providing soup
for volunteers who take their
own mug.

‘Awesome’
experience
• From page 1
“It was a really exciting game. In
the last eight seconds, the Tactix
scored a winning goal. I was so
excited, I jumped into the air,” she
said.
Henrietta said the whole experience
was “awesome,” especially
standing centre court with Watson
– her favourite player.
“The captains were so tall. I
think she’s a really good defender
and she shows good sportsmanship
which is really important.”
Henrietta cannot wait to catch
up with her own netball team and
tell them how the Tactix scored the
win.
“You’ve got to jump high a lot
and pass the ball to your teammates
so they can score. I like helping
my teammates,” she said.
ANZ head of sponsorship Sue
McGregor said ANZ is committed
to its support of netballers in
Aotearoa from local Christchurch
players, right up to the elite athletes
in the ANZ Premiership and the
Silver Ferns.
“We hope this experience
inspires them to remain passionate
about their training and to try
their very best on the court.”

Pupils honour their local heroes in
Josh Mackay, Crusaders

• By Bea Gooding
AN EXHIBITION by primary
school pupils has celebrated what
it takes to be a local hero while
putting their multimedia skills to
the test.
The Casebrook Intermediate
School hall was transformed into
an art gallery last week when
hundreds of framed black and
white photos of community
heroes were on display.
The heroes were chosen by
pupils and they held a variety of
roles in society, from firefighters,
nurses and police to sports players,
journalists and even family
members.
“The event was held as a wrapup
celebration for our relationships
inquiry unit,” said teacher
Samantha Kirk.
Each frame had a QR code and
once scanned with a cellphone,
“digital artefacts” created by
the pupils would pop up on the
screen.
The artefacts showed what that
hero did and had background
information about their lives
through podcasts, videos, websites
and slideshows.
The pupils gathered the information
for the project by interviewing
the heroes they chose.
They asked them questions
about early childhood, family,
FRAMED: Nick Leith, deputy principal at Casebrook Intermediate School, scans the QR
code on the photo of councillor for Papanui Ward Mike Davidson. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
education, and their careers.
“We started with a ‘hook’ by
hosting community heroes panels
in paired classrooms.
“Staff organised firefighters,
sports players, policemen and
more to be interviewed
by students about their life,”
said Kirk. “This way the students
were taught how to interview
and what makes a community
hero.”
Six years ago I spent several days at Birdlings Flat,
an area I had not visited for over twenty years.
It was a visit that would influence my painting
in many ways. It added to my lexicon of places
beside the sea that I often draw upon when
working.
Visually I was inspired by the shape of the hills
and the conversations between sea, sky and land.
I appreciated the austere elemental geology of
the place. Not to get too esoteric about it, but I
felt comfortable being uncomfortable there.
Since then I have visited various parts of Banks
Peninsula on a regular basis and each time I have
come away with something new to explore via
painting.
Unlike earlier paintings these works are not
seeking to capture or convey these landscapes.
They are certainly shaped by it, but essentially
are by-products of time spent walking, biking, or
simply sitting and looking at local places.

Similar concerns aired

“Organisations themselves
are under a lot of increased
pressure and are really struggling
to continue to sustainably
operate.
“Volunteers are extremely tired
and worn out, and resourcing is
a real strain.”
Some of the groups that
attended included the Belfast
Community Network, Kāinga
Ora, Christchurch Methodist
Mission, and the Rotary Club of
Papanui.
Many shared similar concerns
– struggles to find volunteers
to replace older helpers, lack of
funding, and the mental health
or financial distress brought
about by Covid-19.
Youth not engaging with
school, loneliness among older
people, housing shortages and
incidents not being reported
to police due to perceptions it
will not be dealt with, were also
mentioned.
Papanui Youth Development
Trust manager Hamish Flynn
said some of the biggest issues
among youth are mental illness,
in-home violence and drug use,
and isolation.
Said Flynn: “Anxiety and
mental health are off the
chart, particularly with 12 to
16-year-olds with self-esteem.
Driven by social media, this is
a significant issue that mirrors
other western nations, with
awful evidence and figures
related to self-harm.
“This is the demographic that
is flooding counselling services
and really has us concerned.”
In response, the trust
developed a social media
education module highlighting
the dangers associated with
being online and was delivered
to 300 young women last
year.
Youth joining gangs or having
a connection to them has also
grown, he said.
“For some whānau, the
lockdown was the worst possible
outcome and we have seen a
significant increase in some of
the reporting.”
Northgate Community
Services Trust helps families,
older adults and youth in need
through health, education, and
practical support.
In the past year, it has seen
more people struggle to find jobs
or put food on the table.
“A lot of people are on the
benefit and are struggling
with finding work,” said trust
manager André Esterhuizen.
The trust established a free
community meal and vegetable
box service as a result.
And it has taken off since then
– the community meals average
about 50 people each time and
more than 70 families have
signed up to the vegetable box
distribution list.
The boxes not only help
families through a rough patch,
but it enables them to make
a personal connection with
someone else while collecting the
package.
“A lot of people coming in are
lonely, so it became more than
trying to provide meals
to people, it turned out to
be a space to connect,” said
Esterhuizen.
“A lot of people won’t put their
foot out the door, but are willing
to go in and pick up a box.”
The trust was developing
a community cafe providing
affordable food and a safe space
to chat with others.
But getting the project off the
ground proved a challenge. Like
many other groups, securing the
funding needed for the cafe was
hard to come by.
It will also be a place to gain
confidence and work experience
in roles such as the kitchen hand
or a barista for anyone struggling
to gain employment.
Are you ready to grow?

SUCCESS: Burnside High School won the top spot at Canterbury’s Showquest competition with a piece about the
negative effects of fast fashion.
Burnside takes Showquest
BURNSIDE HIGH School is
Showquest’s newest regional
champion after a strong message
of fast fashion’s detrimental
impact on the environment
struck a chord with the judges.
The town hall was a buzz of
activity last week when teams
from Canterbury schools
competed for a spot at New
Zealand’s biggest performing
arts competition for schools.
Burnside team student captain
Simone Blackie said they
picked their theme because it
was relevant to everyone in the
audience.
“In our piece, we contrasted
our world versus the world of the
workers who are manufacturing
our clothing,” she said
“We did not expect to win. We
didn’t even think we were going
to place. It feels amazing. It feels
unreal.”
Regional competitions are
under way until July 6. Teams
are judged on their overall
production, performance,
movement and theme.
Rockquest Promotions general
manager Matt Ealand said the
regional Showquest competition
had again shown how talented
young people were.
“We are extremely grateful
to be back with live events
this year and yet again we are
amazed by the high quality of
performances,” he said.
“The leadership and teamwork
required ... are immense and
these school teams have done an
incredible job.”
THE WEATHER forecast for two
weeks’ time has confirmed that
it’s going to be cloudy – with a
chance of golf balls.
St Patrick’s School in Bryndwr
is taking a fresh approach to its
fundraising efforts by making it
rain golf balls at the Riccarton
Park Golf Complex on June 11.
Dubbed “Helicopter Hole in
Won”, the plan is for the school
to sell hundreds of uniquely
numbered golf balls. These will
be loaded into a helicopter and
dropped onto the golf course.
Whoever’s ball is the first to
achieve a hole in one, or the closest
to one, will win $1000 cash.
Jo McKenzie, the school’s
Parents and Friends Association
chairwoman, said the novelty and
simplicity factor appealed.
Having hosted golf tournaments
in the past, the school was
no stranger to the sport, but it
was time for a change.
“We were looking for something
fresh that would bring the
school and wider community
together,” said McKenzie.
“We’ve hosted golf tournaments
and charity balls before but it was
time for a change.
“The response from the school
and the community so far has
been fantastic.”
The community has until tomorrow
to buy a golf ball and be
in to win $1000.
Buyers’ names and contact
details will be recorded next to a
number that corresponds with a
particular ball.
Proceeds from the fundraiser
will support the school’s ambassador
programme and junior
gymnastics programme. These
encourage leadership opportunities
and help with technology
equipment for pupils.
Spectators can tuck into a barbecue
lunch from 12.30pm. The
helicopter arrives at 2.15pm.

Dreams realised
in spite of disability
NOT EVEN a disability could
get in Charlotte Holt’s way when
it comes to fulfilling her dreams.
The 18-year-old Villa Maria
College student has earned a
$10,000 scholarship towards fees
to study law and arts at Canterbury
University.
Charlotte was diagnosed with
mild to moderate hypotonic cerebral
palsy at six-months-old. A
lack of tone in the muscles makes
everyday movements difficult
and exhausting.
She said her strong sense of
social justice and empathy for
others was attributed to her time
at the Champion Centre as a
young child.
“Perhaps from my time at the
Champion Centre and my love
of public speaking, I gravitated
towards studying social justice
and law at university,” she said.
“It’s an opportunity to give
back.”
Based in Burwood, the
Champion Centre is a non-profit
organisation providing early
intervention for babies and children
born prematurely, or with
disabilities.
Because Charlotte was continuously
surrounded by children
who also had a disability, she was
not treated any differently.
Her mother Jane said she was a
very relaxed, but “floppy” baby.
“We never put a label on Charlotte’s
condition,” she said.
Holt initially attended Milestones
Centre for three months
before she started at the Champion
Centre at nine-months-old,
mainly with her mother.
They would go in once a week
and then eventually fortnightly
until she was nearly two at the
end of 2004.
“While at the Champion
Centre, Charlotte became very
able with her fine motor skills.
As well as sessions at the centre,
we took her swimming a lot,”
Jane said.
“The staff that work there are
SUCCESS: Charlotte Holt has earned a $10,000 scholarship
that will go towards fees to study law and arts at
Canterbury University.
incredible, very dedicated and
amazing. Early intervention is so
important, it’s your lifeline.”
Charlotte’s nanas often came to
the sessions as well.
“My mother often found it
quite emotional when she visited
the centre, seeing what all these
amazing children were achieving,”
said Charlotte’s father
Chris.
“Charlotte definitely developed
her personality and talent from
the Champion Centre, she received
a lot of attention. She has
become very independent.”
Growing up, Charlotte danced,
sang and played sport.
She then joined her two older
sisters at Villa Maria, where
she became an esteemed public
speaker and achieved her grade 7
trinity speech and drama exam.
Last year, Charlotte applied for
a tertiary scholarship through
her father’s work at the Lyttelton
Port Company that was available
for children of employees to apply
for.
Through a selection process,
she was awarded the scholarship
which will be used towards
university fees over the next two
years.
CONCEPT: Work has started to build the Cancer Society’s
new 52-room complex for cancer patients arriving in
Christchurch to receive hospital treatment. ​
Work starts on
new building to
accommodate
cancer patients
CANCER PATIENTS arriving
in Christchurch to receive
hospital treatment will no longer
have to worry about having a
place to stay.
A sod-turning ceremony last
week celebrated work starting
on the Cancer Society’s new 52-
room patient accommodation at
74 Langdons Rd, Papanui.
The $20 million complex
will serve as a home away from
home for people around the
South Island, including the
Chatham Islands, who need
treatment at Christchurch
Hospital.
It is expected to be completed
by early 2023.
Matapopore Charitable Trust
chairwoman Dame Aroha
Reriti-Crofts performed the
blessing on behalf of the mana
whenua Ngāi Tūāhuriri.
The dawn ceremony was
also attended by Minister for
Building and Construction Poto
Williams, representatives from
Ōtākaro Ltd, Cancer Society
staff and volunteers, and the
companies involved in the
building project to date.
Elizabeth Chesterman, chief
executive of the Cancer Society’s
Canterbury-West Coast Division
described the ceremony as
“a very special and memorable
time, after 10 long years of coping,
making do, fundraising and
planning,” since the 2010 and
2011 earthquakes.
She acknowledged the
Crown’s contribution of $6.5
million in funding towards
the complex from the New Zealand
Government Shovel Ready
Project Initiative Fund
as pivotal in enabling the project
to proceed.
“This is an exciting day for us,
preparing for the turia (journey)
ahead, and we are looking forward
to seeing work progress on
our site over the months ahead,”
she said.
Williams stated that she had
lost her own mother to cancer
and was very grateful for the
support offered by the Cancer
Society.
The building will also house
the organisation’s Christchurch
centre to support local people
with cancer and their whānau.

During colder months it is tempting to

good airflow is important all year round.
Condensation collecting on internal

Consider extractor fans, especially in the

Bathroom steam can be prevented from

Preventative home
maintenance tips
Check your water tanks, pipes
and outside taps
Consider turning off outside taps to avoid
freezing and bursting. Covering water
tanks and pipes is a cost-effective way of
preventing this and reduces heat loss.
Consider your outdoor safety
and security
With the evenings being darker earlier,
frosts on outdoor steps, decks and pathways
are a slipping hazard.
Ensure you have adequate outdoor
lighting, a clutter free and smooth pathway
to your rubbish bins, woodpile, external
garage or sleepout.
Clean up spills immediately. Consider
moisture-absorbent mats and handrails.
Cut back your trees
With the leaves already fallen, now is a
good time to assess your trees and trim
back any dead branches and branches
overhanging your windows, spouting and
roof. Check your roof for leaks, loose nails,
and that it has a sound coating. Also look
for moss and algae.
Clear your gutters, drains and
downpipes
An accumulation of autumn leaves can
quickly block gutters, which can lead to
roof leaks, overflow and flooding. Consider
protecting your gutters from birds, hail and
leaves.
Stagnant water may freeze resulting in
gutters and downpipes coming loose or
collapsing.
Blocked drains are a potential health
hazard, create an unpleasant odour and
attracts bugs and small pests.
Store your seasonal equipment
with care
Before you put your lawnmower and
weedeater away for the season, run low or
drain the petrol. Petrol goes off and come
spring your old petrol can adversely affect
the performance of your equipment and
block up your filters.
Cover outdoor furniture and secure
items, such as trampolines, which may get
blown around in strong winds.
Consider options to extend your outdoor
living all year round.
Upgrade your home
with wall tiles
Winter is here and what better time to
accomplish some DIY home improvements
which will add value to your home.
A new easy to install waterproof wall tile
has recently arrived in New Zealand. The
Styletile brand by Dumawall is lightweight
and offers seamless joins which any
homeowner can install themselves without
the added expense of a tiler.
The decorative tile selection comes in
a range of contemporary colours that
suit a variety of interior spaces including
bathrooms and shower walls, kitchen, and
food preparation areas as well as laundry
and washdown sections. Highlight your
feature walls and large areas as these tiles
can add a whole new look and feel to your
home.
This do-it-yourself-tile is quick and
provides the look of ceramic tiles with
an interlocking tongue and groove
system which can be easily cut on site
with a handsaw, circular skillsaw or
jigsaw. Styletile is easy and doesn’t need
complicated grout lines or tools or the costs
associated with ceramic tiles.
Dumafix is a high-quality, quick
hardening adhesive suitable for fixing and
installing on any surface, whether porous
or non-porous.

home project? Have you been thinking

Less waste,
more purpose
It is fascinating exploring Musgroves’
sheds where there is a huge variety of
recycled and new building products. This
iconic Canterbury company has been
recycling building materials for the last
50 years and they’re really good at it. Not
only do they have an incredible range of
products that are amazingly well organised,
but they have also built themselves a
reputation for providing exceptional
service. The reviews from their many
customers (whether they be homeowners,
business owners or tradies) repeatedly refer
to the care and commitment of Musgroves’
long-serving team members who have gone
above and beyond to assist them with their
many and varied project needs.
General manager, Sue Brown, confirms
that Musgroves has thousands of repeat
customers who come from all round
the South Island (and beyond) to find
treasures for their projects. Whether it
be to look for T&G flooring for their new
build, or for a french door for their home
renovation, or for a sliding door for their
sleep out, or for doors and windows for
their child’s playhouse, or for timber beams
for a business fitout or for some roofing
materials to fix a leak, these are just a few
of the reasons why people come to visit
Musgroves.
There is no question that upcycling and
recycling is alive and well at Musgroves
in Wigram and once you’ve talked to any
member of the Musgroves team you soon
get a sense that sustainability is not just a
fad here, but rather it is in their
DNA and until you’ve paid them a
visit you can’t fully appreciate the
huge range of building materials
that Musgroves can supply you
with.

Prepare your
home for winter
Did you know that healthy trees can add
up to 20% to the value of your property?
You may not think about it
that often – but the trees on
your property are a lifetime
investment.
Carefully selected trees on your property
provide more than beauty - they increase
the value of your home. Several recent
surveys have shown that mature trees in
a well-landscaped garden can increase
the value of a house by 7 per cent to
19 per cent.
Experts indicate that a well-maintained
garden with mature trees can add
thousands to a home’s value and speed up
a house sale too.
In addition to adding significant value
at the point of sale, trees also serve very
practical and functional (as well as
aesthetic) purposes for homeowners. They
frame beautiful, relaxing, and pleasant
landscapes and help keep a house cooler
and protected from destructive winds and
weather.
Many tree care companies simply chop,
cut, and call the job done. However, after
speaking with THE TREE PEOPLE, it
quickly became apparent that they are
different. Simply put, they know your
home is your haven and will always ensure
it is treated that way.
Started by Ra and Megan Hammer in
2004, THE TREE PEOPLE knew early on
that their ethos and approach was going to
be different. They never simply chop and
cut, and instead pride themselves on the
fact that they go against the grain of how
many other arborists operate. They can
help with any tree and pride themselves on
being able to do so. They can remove large
dangerous trees safely, look after the trees
that you care about, transplant established
trees with care and offer expert advice on
all ‘things’ trees.
Speaking with passion about what he
does, chief tree hugger Ra Hammer shares,
“We had some very clear goals when we
started the business that we still ‘live by’
today. It was important to us to preserve
and maintain trees sustainably, to provide
an environment that helps our customers
to enjoy harmonious relationships with
their trees, to offer excellent affordable tree
care and to always adhere to best practice.
I am proud to say that, 16 years later, we
still live and breathe these goals”.
To remove those dangerous trees,
hard to reach over hanging branches
and to add value to your property, call
Ra, Megan and the team at THE TREE
PEOPLE today.
