ASouthernRight Whale and her calf are 

having awhale of atime off North 

Canterbury beaches. 

The mum and her calf has given many 

alot of joy whilethey have been out 

during lockdowngetting fresh air and 

exercising. 

They have been veryclose to shore 

along Amberley Beach on several 

occasions. 

Barb Demmocks says the family has 

been cruising back and forth along the 

coastline, down as far as PinesBeach 

and even as far north as Kaikoura. 

They have been seen on several days at 

Amberley Beachsincelast Thursday, 

and are givingonlookers out stretching 

theirlegs agreat show, being justmetres 

off the beach. 

Barb says theyseemedtobefeeding 

rightinthe breakers and ‘‘are in no hurry 

to get out into deeperwater’’. 

‘‘Many beach residents spent 

enjoyable lockdown hoursatthe free 

whalewatchingshow,’’she says. 

Facebook posts initiated abit of a 

scramble to viewthe whales, with 

residents outside of the beach settlement 

being told their exercise regimewas 

getting alittlebit far fromhome, and they 

neededtoback up. Postswere removed. 

One post however,that remained said 

it was lovely to see afew families at the 

beach ‘‘enjoying the wonder of nature 

yesterday (Sunday)’’. 

‘‘Theywere all very distanced and very 

respectful. Most importantly children 

were excited seeing awhalemum and 

it’s calf.’’ 

The Department of Conservation 

websitessays the Southern Right Whales 

can come very close to shore. Adults 

average 1415metres and newborn 

calves between4.5 and 6m. 

‘‘Southern RightWhales are mostly 

black in colour and can be identified by 

lackofadorsalfin, aVshapedblowhole 

spray and white growths on theirheads 

called callosities,’’ the website states. 

The pattern of callosities on eachwhale 

is different making it possible to identify 

individuals and to tracktheir 

movements.

Health checks are avital tool 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

ARangiora man grievingfor the loss of his 

wife and onlyson to cancer says health 

checksare avital tool in thefightagainst 

‘‘thisinsidious disease’’. 

Al Grainger’s wife Jackie died of lung 

cancerlast month,only 11 months after the 

couple’s son Scott alsodied from cancer. 

‘‘It was an awful blow,’’ Al says. 

‘‘Cancer is aterrible thing.’’ 

Al was also diagnosedwith cancer in 

2017 but he is now in remission. 

‘‘I was lucky, Isurvived,’’ he says. 

He believes he has his bichon frise dog 

Theo to thank for the earlydiagnosisofhis 

illness. 

‘‘I wasn’t feeling unwell at all, but one 

night Theo wouldn’t stop lickingmyhand,’’ 

he says. 

Al thoughthis little canine companion 

might be unwell so the nextday he took 

him to the vet for an examination. 

The vet gave Theoacleanbill of health 

but advised Al to get amedical checkup. 

Al thoughtthat was odd advicebut he 

made an appointment with his doctor, who 

sent him for an MRI (magnetic resonance 

imaging) scan and soon after thathewas 

told he had cancer. 

After Scott’s death, aged 43, in August 

last year,Jackie’s health beganto 

deteriorate. 

This was initially attributed to grief. 

‘‘But in hindsight, we bothknew it was 

not just grief,’’ Al says. 

EventuallyJackiewas scheduled for an 

MRI scanwhich showed lung cancer had 

developed into secondary bone cancer. 

The diagnosis was adevastating blowfor 

the couple and their daughter, Shelley 

Breitmeyer. 

Jackiewas admitted to Christchurch 

Hospital on January 11 and amonthlater 

she was transferred to Holmwood Rest 

Home and Hospital where she remained 

for six monthsbefore passing on July 18. 

Jackie, who was born in Wales, was a 

volunteer at the Rangiora St John’s 

OpportunityShop for 15 years while Scott 

was manager of Conways PaperPlus 

bookstore for 20 years and also amember 

of the Rangiora Aikido Dojo. 

Both mother and son had outgoing, 

cheerful personalities and were popular 

members of the Waimakariri community. 

Their passing has been ‘‘a double 

disaster’’ for their family and widecircle 

of friends. 

However, Al has been‘‘heartened and 

greatly humbled by the number of local 

Lost to cancer ... Scott Grainger and his mum Jackie, remembered as cheerful outgoing 

personalities.

folkwho have approachedmeinthe street 

and called at our familyhome to offer their 

condolences’’. 

He hopesthat Jackie and Scott’s passing 

will‘‘induce folk to consider the reality 

thatwemust not take eachday for granted. 

Lifeissuch agift and the love of our 

families beingthe mostprecious gift of 

all’’.Alis also hoping people will donate 

what theycan to the Cancer Society North 

Canterbury’s Daffodil Day online 

collection tomorrow (Friday) and 

Saturday to enable research for acancer 

cure to continue.All money donated to the

By DAVID HILL 

Oxford's window on the universe is set to 

get even bigger. 

OxfordArea School Observatory 

volunteerJames Moffat is restoring an 

old 24inchtelescope he has acquired 

from the Canterbury Astronomical 

Society's West Melton observatory and 

hopes to have it up and runningnext 

year. 

It willadd to the 12inch telescope 

which was purchased late last year and a 

10inch telescope. 

“Whenyou go from a10inch to a 

12inchtelescope the light reach 

improves by 200 times. The 24inchmight 

be older, but it'smuch bigger, so it's just 

amatterofgetting it operational to the 

pointwherewecan use computer 

software,” James says. 

“I'veused it (the 24inch telescope) 

before and the views of the deep sky are 

incredibleand looking at the planets is 

stunning. 

“I wouldsuggest it will be one of the 

biggest operational telescopes in an 

educationalsetting anywhere in New 

Zealand.” 

ViewsofJupiterand Saturn will be 

more detailed and visitors to the 

observatory will be able to view the 

planets Uranus and Neptunethrough the 

24inch telescope. 

To complete the project, $1100 needs to 

be raisedtorecoat the big telescope's 

mirror and $3000 to import akit with 

motorised pointing software from the 

United States. 

If the observatory was lookingtobuy a 

fullykittedout 24inchtelescope brand 

new, it would need to spend $150,000 to 

$200,000, which would be impossible for 

asmall group, James says. 

With planning underway for the 

Oxford Area School rebuild, James says 

the groupiswaiting to see the layoutas

local astronomers abigger view of the universe.

the 24inchtelescope can be stored away 

and wheeled on open nights. 

“You couldn't put in our dome as it 

would takeupthe whole room and 

becauseit's so big, we need to thinkabout 

health and safety,” Jamessays. 

He says lockdown has allowed North

catch up on some stargazing after a 

disappointing winter season, which has 

seen everyplanned Friday eveningopen

“There's no notable comets like last 

year, but there'sstillplenty to look at

elevation in the early evening.”

Covid scuttles farewell 

NEWS 


5 

By DAVID HILL 

Murray Overton's last week at 

Kaiapoi Borough School was 

alittle quieter than planned. 

Last week's Covid19 

lockdown saw farewell events 

postponed as Mr Overton 

prepared for anew adventure 

after an eventful eight years 

as principal at Kaiapoi 

Borough School. 

He was due to start his new 

role on Monday as national 

director of foreign aid 

organisation Christian World 

Service, based in 

Christchurch. 

“It's been abusy eight years 

with lots of exciting things 

happening. It feels like a 

great time for someone else to 

come in with their ideas and 

energy.” 

With the lockdown cutting 

his time in Kaiapoi short, Mr 

Overton spent his last three 

days sorting through his 

emails and making notes for 

his successor. 

When Mr Overton took over 

as principal for the start of 

the 2014 school year, the 

school was about embark on 

its earthquake rebuild. 

It was finally completed 

with the opening of the new 

technology block earlier this 

year. 

“Every building has been 

rebuilt or refurbished, and 

we've got ascooter track, a 

new playground and a 

revamped swimming pool, it's 

an awesome environment for 

the students,” Mr Overton 

says. 

Murray Overton 

“It's very satisfying to see 

where it's at and the teachers 

and the students are at the 

heart of everything.” 

The school roll has been 

gradually rebuilding in the 

last couple of years, after 

falling due to the 

earthquakes, and will end 

this year with 400 pupils. 

Another feature of Mr 

Overton's time at Kaiapoi is 

the strengthened 

relationships with other local 

schools. 

“The way that we've been 

able to build on links with the 

community and other schools, 

particularly in Kaiapoi – 

Trish (McKendry, St 

Patrick's), Jason (Miles, 

Kaiapoi North) and Bruce 

(Kearney, Kaiapoi High 

School) are fantastic 

colleagues –it's been great. 

“We are very grateful for 

the work Bruce and his staff 

do. 

‘‘Ninety percent of our 

students now go to Kaiapoi 

High School, so it's avery 

important connection for us.” 

Deputy principal Christine 

Heenan will step up as acting 

principal for the remainder 

of the school year, while the 

Board of Trustees undergoes 

arecruitment process. 

Mr Overton is confident his 

team will manage without 

him, after they stepped up 

when he had heart surgery in 

term one. 

He was looking forward to 

his new role, which will allow 

him to make adifference in 

the lives of others. 

“It's agreat opportunity to 

do something that's alittle bit 

different and to follow the 

passion to help people who 

don't have the same access to 

resources that we have. 

“But it will be sad to leave 

Kaiapoi Borough School and 

the wider Kaiapoi 

community.” 

Mr Overton and his wife 

Jacqui previously spent eight 

years working overseas in 

Bangladesh and Ethiopia, 

which has given him ataste of 

what life is like in less 

developed countries. 

He hopes to return to 

Kaiapoi soon to say aproper 

goodbye in person.

Around the electorate with 

STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA 

Climate change report 

Earlier this month the International 

Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 

delivered the first part of their 6th 

Assessment report. 

Climate science is complex. 

One peer reviewed article may predict 

one thing to happen, asecond peer 

reviewed article may land in aslightly 

different place. 

The IPCC was established by the 

governments of the world way back in 

1988 to look across all of the literature on 

climate change and provide abalanced 

and expert view to the governments of 

the world. 

By and large the IPCC has done an 

incredible job over the last 33 years and 

six assessment reports. 

The IPCC enables politicians like me 

to put the scientific debates on climate 

change to one side and have asingle 

source of truth on questions like, how 

much will temperatures rise over the 

next 30 years? 

And, how have events like floods and 

droughts changed already as aresult of 

climate change? 

The IPCC allows politicians to focus 

on the policy response rather than the 

scientific debate. 

One of the scientific debates that has 

raged in New Zealand and elsewhere 

over the last decade is the question of 

methane. 

When we emit greenhouse gases, many 

people may not realise that we actually 

put significantly different gases with 

significantly different properties up into 

the atmosphere. 

An emission of carbon dioxide for 

example will have arelatively small 

warming impact but it persists in the 

atmosphere almost indefinitely.

Aportion is absorbed by the ocean, but 

the remainder will circulate in the 

atmosphere for thousands of years. 

Methane on the other hand has a 

bigger warming impact but is unstable. 

Methane reacts with other chemicals in 

the atmosphere and breakdown. On 

average, methane will circulate in the 

atmosphere for around 12 years. 

Yet we lump these two gases together 

as if they were the same. 

When someone says New Zealand beef 

or dairy has ahigher carbon footprint 

than say imported soy protein, they are 

comparing amethane emission to a 

carbon dioxide one. 

If someone claims agriculture is 

almost half of New Zealand’s emissions 

they again compare ashortlived 

methane emission to alonglived carbon 

dioxide emission. 

The current method of calculating 

carbon footprints, the ‘GWP’, has 

received alarge amount of criticism 

over the last decade. 

The basic issue is alack of recognition 

that the atmosphere has the potential to 

absorb acertain level of methane each 

year. 

Our ultimate goal is to stop global 

warming. 

When it comes to shortlived methane, 

we can do this by stabilising emissions, if 

we emit the same amount every year, 

then because methane is shortlived, the 

atmospheric level will, over time, 

stabilise. 

Carbon dioxide however persists for 

thousands of years, as aresult, in order 

to stabilise atmospheric concentrations, 

and stop global warming, we need to 

reduce carbon dioxide emissions to ‘net 

zero’.

We discussed the amount of time

Government’s three waters reform

The Three Waters Reform is one of 

the biggest decisions that we, as a 

community, willhave to make. 

We needtoensure we have enough 

time to engage meaningfully and 

genuinely with the process and 

betterunderstand the full 

implications of the proposals. 

The letterasks that the Three

regulatorTaumata Arowai is 

properly established, there is clarity 

about theproposed Economic 

Regulator, and the standardsand

understood. This is so we clearly 

know the rules of the game. 

We are still working to gather 

more details and question the 

information that has been provided 

to us and have untilthe end of 

September to do that. Central 

governmentwill be confirming the 

timeframe for the reform process 

including the next steps after that 

time. 

At this stagewehave been told that

Waimakariri economy shows no lingering effects 

The Waimakariri economyis‘‘going 

gangbusters’’ following the 2020 Covid19 

lockdownand its lingeringeffects. 

The Infometrics Quarterly Economic 

Monitor for the Waimakariri districtto 

June 2021 was released last week, as the 

nation was launched into its secondAlert 

Level 4lockdown. 

The report, commissioned by the 

Waimakariri District Council, shows that 

the Waimakariri GDP was 8percent 

higher in the June 2021 quarter than in the 

June 2019 quarter. 

In addition, GDP was up 5.4% for the 

year to June,ahead of the nationalgrowth 

rate of 4.2%. 

‘‘In short, it’s going gangbusters,’’says 

Miles Dalton,Business Support Manager 

at Enterprise NorthCanterbury(ENC), 

despite the uncertain times at the 

moment. 

‘‘The obvious highlights are strong GDP, 

strong employment figures, the housing 

marketrunning hot, fast population 

growth and good consumer spending. On 

the flip side the numberofnonresidential 

buildingconsentsisvery low compared to 

the last 10 years but, that said, they have 

been consistently high since the 

earthquakes. 

‘‘This is the first time they have been 

back at preearthquake levels so Ithink it’s 

worth watching this statistic for abit 

longer beforedrawing any drastic 

conclusions’’ 

Average house values in Waimakariri 

are up 23.4% over the year to June 2021 but 

are still more affordablethan 

Christchurch City. The reportsuggests the 

relatively affordable housinghas likely 

aided population growth which sits at 2.8% 

for the year, compared to just 1.2% for 

Christchurch. The growth has in turn 

contributed to the residential building 

statistics which are comparable to the 

postearthquake buildingboom of 

20122014. While consumerspending is up 

acrossthe country, Waimakariri’s 

increase of 11.1% on last year is notable 

higherthan the national statistic of +7.7%. 

Otherhighlights include the 

consistently low unemployment rate 

(3.1%)driven by astrong labour market, 

increased house sales (+31.4%) and 

tourism expenditure up 13.5% on the same 

periodfor 2020.

Covid stalls event 


The brakes have gone on Amberley’s 

car show ‘Rock ‘n' Wheels. 

Lock down has forced the show at 

the Amberley Domain to be postponed 

until October 17. 

It had planned to run the 

extravaganza as aFather’s Day treat 

on September 5, but Rock ‘n’ Wheels 

Charitable Trust spokesperson 

Katrina Platt says the Trust has 

decided to push the show out until 

midOctober to avoid the uncertainty 

around the Covid19 levels. 

Katrina says interest is high in the 

event that was scuttled at the last 

minute last year because of aforecast 

wind storm. 

That followed acouple of false starts 

because of Covid19 and level 2 

restrictions. 

But the Trust, buoyed by the support 

of vehicle enthusiasts, is keen to have 

another crack at celebrating the 10th 

anniversary of Rock’n’Wheels. 

‘‘People just want somewhere to go 

and enjoy being with other car and 

motorbike enthusiasts,’’ Katrina says. 

Six community groups have swung 

in behind the Trust to lend ahand 

with all proceeds going back to them. 

There are no outside food vendors, 

Katrina says. 

The Amberley School is offering 

parking on the neighbouring school 

for visitors for agold coin donation.

The event will include live music, food 

and drink, entertainment and more. 

Public parking will be in the Amberley 

School grounds this year for asmall 

donation. 

Car registration is $10 for adriver 

and one passenger. Extra people are 

$5 per person. Public entry is $5;

Sheep numbers decrease, beef cattle up 

New Zealand's sheepflock is 

continuing to shrink,while beef cattle 

numbers have enjoyed resurgence in 

the last12months. 

The total numberofsheep in New 

Zealanddecreasedby0.8 percent to 

an estimated 25.83 million, while beef 

cattle numbers rose 2.5% to 3.98 

million,according to Beef+Lamb 

New Zealand's (BLNZ) annualstock 

number survey. 

The decline in sheep numbers was 

across both breeding ewes, down 0.5 

percent to 16.48million, and hoggets, 

which decreased0.6 percent to 8.61 

million. 

The increase in beef cattle numbers 

was drivenlargely by morerisingtwoyearoldcattle,particularly 

in the 

North Island. 

The decline in hoggetnumbers was 

mostnoticeable in Northland 

WaikatoBay of Plenty(down6.7 

percent)and Southland (down 7.9 

percent), where strongmutton prices 

encouraged greater levelsoftrading. 

Conditions duringwinter and spring 

lastyear were difficult in some 

regions, particularly the SouthIsland, 

leadingtodestocking of sheep prior 

to Christmas due to lack of feed, BLNZ 

says. 

Drought and dry conditions along 

eastern partsofthe country earlier 

thisyear led to tight feedconditions 

for many farmers. 

Canterbury's flood event in late May 

significantlyimpacted anumber of 

farmswith losses of feed on hand and 

ashortage of grazing options, BLNZ 

says.The cleanup willlast for many 

months for some farmers. 

It cameatthe end of adifficult 

drought and was followed by acold 

snap and snow. 

On abright note,the lambcrop is 

expected to be 1.6% higher nationally. 

BLNZ economic service chief 

economistAndrew Burtt says the 

modest increaseinthe lamb cropis 

basedonewe bodycondition and 

pregnancyscanning results at the time 

of surveying farmers, and depends on 

favourable weatherconditions in 

spring. 

“Strong mutton prices have 

encouragedfarmers to sellewes and 

hoggets this seasonand in someareas 

climatic conditions have forced 

farmers’ hands. 

“The outlook for beefpricesisless 

certain and although overall beef 

cattle numbers were up at June30, 

BLNZ is forecasting aslightdecrease 

in calves from sheep and beef farms 

this spring.” 

The most recent analysis means that 

since2000the total number of sheep in 

New Zealand has declined by nearly 

40%, from 42.3 million to 25.8 million. 

Beef cattle numbershave decreased 

by 5%, from 4.2 million to 4million 

over the same period.

Old Sunday school given new lease of life 

By DAVID HILL 

Alabour of love hasled to an architectural 

design award. 

Achance viewing led to Caleb and 

NataliePaterson buying the old St 

Columba Church at Hawarden two and a 

half years ago, triggeringarestoration 

project which is ongoing. 

Earlier this monththe newly restored 

Sunday school hall, known as St Columba 

Hall, won acommended awardatthe 

Architectural Designers New Zealand 

Awardsfor Barry Connor,ofChristchurch. 

“It's been abit of ajourney, but 

everything takestime,” admits Caleb,a 

Hanmer Springsbased builder. 

“Wehad justfinishedabig renovation 

on atiny batch at Woodend Beachand we 

were just driving past on the way to 

Hanmer Springs andsaw it was for sale 

andIthought it was quiteexciting. We 

talked to the agent that day and ended up 

buying it.” 

Beforestarting work, the couple had to 

“jump through afew hoops” changing 

consents, as the property had an old, 

outside toilet, so aseptictank neededtobe 

installed and water andpowerhad to be 

connected. 

Butthe idyllic3000 square metre 

property, set in trees, including three 

protected oak trees, and an established 

hedge, was worth the effort, Calebsays. 

Thecouple lived withNatalie's parents, 

Cust sheep farmers Colin and Liz Smith, 

fortwo years, so lastyear'slockdown could 

nothave come at abetter time, he says. 

They moved into the old church 

building,bringing aportaloo and erecteda 

temporary shower and got to work on 

restoring the hall. At acost of $150,000 and 

“thousands of hours of freelabour”, the 

hall has been restored to becomethe 

couple'shome, Caleb says. 

“It's all pretty comfortablenow, withall 

themod cons and it's fullyinsulated.” 

With the hall complete, severalprojects 

were lined up for thisyear,including 

building adeck off the hall,agarageand 

aswimming poolwith fencing. 

The swimmingpoolwill provide the fire 

fighting water,requiredinthe consent. 

With this year's lockdownhappening so 

quickly, building materials are fast 

running out,Caleb says. 

Attention willturn to the church 

restoration next year, with plans to take 

the roofoff to allow insulationtobe 

installedunder the roofing iron, so the 

original ceiling can be kept in fullview. 

Plastering will be applied to the outside 

walls and the windows replaced by 

doubleglazing. 

‘‘Our end visionistohaveabed and 

breakfastinthe main church building. It's 

quite abig building with abeautiful 

ceiling and it's in really good condition.’’ 

The eight metre ceiling means there is 

the potentialtoadd asecond storey and 

Barry Connorcan't waittodesign it, Caleb 

says.

Your Feedback onThree Waters Reform 

Ratepayers will recently have received information 

from the Council asking for their feedback on the 

Government's Three Waters Reform. 

The Government is proposing that three water 

(drinking water, waste water and storm water) 

services move from the 67 councils who currently 

manage these, into four large entities. 

If the reform goes ahead, WaimakaririDistrict would 

become part of an entity that covers most ofthe 

South Island. The Government has given councils 

until the end of September to provide feedback. 

Mayor Dan Gordon says the fundamental 

question is: ‘Will the reform proposal benefit the 

Waimakariri Community?’ 

“The Council’s position remains that, based on the 

limited information presented sofar, we do not 

join the Government’s reform programme at this 

point. We are not convinced that there are benefits 

for the Waimakariri community but importantly we 

need to hear from the community before reaching 

aformal decision.” 

This information contained details of anumber of 

community drop-in sessions to be held across the 

District.Unfortunately,due to currentcircumstances, 

these sessions have been cancelled. 

Instead we will have anonline event on 

Tuesday 31 August 6.30 –7.30pm –keep an 

eye out on our website and Facebook page for 

more details. 

The Council is encouraging residents to head 

online (waimakariri.govt.nz/letstalk) to learn more 

about the pros-and-cons of reform and share their 

feedback before 5September. 

“We have laid out what the Government are trying 

to achieve, what the concerns of the Council are, 

and key statistics that paint aclear picture of how 

water services in Waimakariri are performing. 

“We’re asking residents to read through this info, 

think about what is important to them, and share 

their views.”

MP works remotely for constituents 

By DAVID HILL 

Like everyone else, lockdown for a 

member of Parliament means a 

rethinkofhow to operate. 

As soon as lockdownwas 

announced,WaimakaririMPMatt 

Doocey and his staff moved to 

working remotely from home so 

they could continue to support 

localresidents. 

“I’vereceived anumber of 

emails and callsfor help,”Mr 

Doocey says. 

“As localMP, my staff and Iare 

able to escalate concerns right to 

the highest level and we are 

working hard to connectpeople to 

the help they need. 

“Among the biggest issuesIhave 

respond to has been from our 

residents who hadtheir 

vaccinations cancelledover 

lockdown.’’ 

As the Opposition'schief whip, 

Mr Doocey is also responsible for 

organising his fellow National MPs 

to keep them on track.Akey part of 

this role in lockdown is holding 

caucus meetings via Zoom so that 

the caucus can meet, discuss the 

issues of the day and agreepolicy 

positions as the issuesarise over 

lockdown.” 

Mr Doocey'sother roleisas 

Opposition spokesperson on 

mental health and suicide 

prevention, arolewhich he says is 

just as important under aCovid19 

lockdown in “holding the 

governmenttoaccount”. 

Smallbusinesses do not havethe 

same access to Employee 

Assistance Programmes, suchas 

mental health support. Mr Doocey 

wouldlike to see funding made 

available to supportsmall 

businesses where mentalhealth 

issues have been identified. 

“Thisweek Iamcalling on the 

government to urgentlyfund 

mental health supportfor small 

businesses owners. We know many 

of our small business owners and 

employees are doing it tough as a 

result of havingtoclose in the 

lockdown.” 

Oxford Gallery reschedules exhibition 


The opening of the Oxford 

Gallery toi oWaimakariri’s 

INSIDEART Creativity Knows 

No Boundsexhibitionhas been 

rescheduled. 

The new exhibitionwas 

scheduled to open last 

Saturday (August 21),but was 

postponed because of the 

Covid19 level4lockdown 

restrictions. 

It is now hoped to openthe 

exhibition this Saturday 

(August 28). 

INSIDEART Creativity Knows 

No Bounds is an exhibition of 

work by prisoners in 

Christchurch Men’s Prison, 

Christchurch Women'sPrison 

and RollestonPrison. 

The exhibition is the first 

time that artists from 

Canterbury prisons have 

shared apublic gallery space 

and all proceeds fromthe sale 

of their artwork will be donated 

to the CanterburyWest Coast 

Air RescueTrust. 

“Through this exhibitionwe 

hope to givethe community a 

glimpse at the incredible 

creativityinside local prisons 

and give the artists some 

support and encouragement to 

buildontheir art,’’ OxfordArts 

Trustchairwoman Areta 

Wilkinsonsays. 

‘‘Friends and whanau have 

the opportunitytoconnect with 

theirlovedones by viewing 

theirart on display in the 

community.'' 

The artwork represents an 

opportunity for the 

participating artists to be 

heard, to be seen and 

contribute to the community. 

‘‘Artisapowerful

wheremen and women learnto 

express themselves and 

communicate through wide 

ranging opportunitiesinmusic,

Aretasays. 

Corrections’ education tutor 

Elaine Drumm agrees. 

“Art evokesemotioninboth 

the artist and the audience,and 

it strengthens the connection 

between mind and body,”she 

says. 

“It gives boththe artist and 

the audienceanescapefrom

prison environment,art 

enables people to remove 

themselves from the confines of 

the prison, express their 

emotions through art and 

reconnectwith what’s 

happening in the worldoutside 

the wire.’’ 

The prisoners were inspired 

by the chance to showcasetheir 

artwork in agallery and 

decided to thankthe 

community for the opportunity 

by donating the proceeds of 

their exhibition to charity. 

The CanterburyWest Coast 

Air Rescue Trustwas chosen by 

the Christchurch Men’s Prison
