Hedge removal leaves
residents confused
• By Emily Moorhouse
A HEDGE removal put down
to ‘miscommunication’ has
left residents feeling robbed of
their ‘functional space’.
New Brighton’s Jennifer
Miller was shocked to see the
hedge at Blighs Garden, where
her grandchildren would play,
had been removed.
She said the space was a
beautiful, sheltered area
where children and residents
could go for a picnic or to
play sport, but now it was so
opened up it had lost those
qualities.
“Places are really important
and the stories they tell. I’m
not opposed to change when
it’s justified,” she said.
“I just don’t understand why
this was done.”
Coastal Ward Community
Board member Jo Zervos said
she was disappointed with the
removal of trees as the board
requested as much hedge
saved as possible.
She said the board was
presented with an original
plan to which they requested
changes such as taking less of
the hedge, which should have
come back to them for final
approval, but didn’t.
“A lot of people are unhappy.
I can see how the community
loved going there.”

Dogs attack more cats
• By Emily Moorhouse
CAT OWNERS are fed up
with their pets being hunted by
neighbourhood dogs without
consequences.
Two weeks ago Pegasus Post
reported on a cat called Roxy
that was attacked and killed by
what her owner David Pringle
described as two stray “staffycross
type” dogs.
After hearing about this attack
two Shirley residents came
forward with their experiences
losing cats and believed the
same dogs were responsible.
Kathryn Rutherford of Bellbrook
Cres lost two cats within
11 days late last year, and
suspected they were killed by
the same two dogs that attacked
Roxy.
On November 13, Rutherford
woke to what sounded like a cat
fight. When she looked out the
window she witnessed her cat
Slinky being attacked by a dog,
with another close by.
She described the attack like
a murder scene and said there
was blood everywhere.
“It was absolutely horrific.
Just knowing what fear she
would have been in,” she said.
“I just held her . . . I didn’t want
to let her go.”
Rutherford said Slinky
looked similar to what Roxy’s
owner described, with her head
half gone.
HORRIFIED: Kathryn Rutherford with her cat Sweety-pie.
Afterwards, Rutherford
brought her other cat Sweetypie
inside, fearing the same
would happen to her, but let
her out after a few days as she
wasn’t coping with being an
inside cat.
A week later, Rutherford’s
fears came true when Sweetypie
was attacked by what she
suspects were the same dogs.
Rutherford thought Sweetypie
had escaped the attack
without major injuries but she
later collapsed on the driveway
and was taken to the vet. She
died 12 hours later after suffering
from internal injuries and a
seizure.
Rutherford contacted the
council after each cat was attacked,
but was given the same
response each time – there
wasn’t enough evidence to identify
the dogs.
“It makes me angry,” she said.
“If it was a person attacking
these people then they would
be arrested and taken off the
streets.”
Two weeks ago, the city
council told Pegasus Post video
footage could be used as part
of an investigation if it met the
evidential requirements of being
able to clearly identify the
offending dog.
One of Orchard’s neighbour’s
had CCTV footage of the
suspected dogs wandering
around their property roughly
20 minutes before the attack
on Sweety-pie, but city council
staff couldn’t confirm it was the
same dogs.
Anntonia Orchard, Rutherford’s
neighbour, has also lost
a cat to what she said were the
same dogs.
She said between herself and
her neighbours they have lost
five cats in the last five years “to
these dogs”.
Orchard contacted the city
council after the death of her
cat and said they were “very
blasé” about the situation.
“It makes me really angry,”
she said. “There doesn’t seem
to be any consequences (for the
dog owners).”
Orchard said people should
be able to have pets without
worrying about them being
killed and feared for her seven
cats.
“I worry about them all
the time. I can’t keep them
indoors,” she said.
“Am I going to find them
ripped to bits?”
Orchard said it wasn’t just
cats that had been attacked, but
chickens, rabbits and sheep too
and she was thinking of starting
up a petition to stop the
attacks.
“What more do we as people
of Shirley have to do to keep
our pets safe?”
Confusion over
two projects
at garden
• From page 1
Coastal Ward community chairman
Kelly Barber said it was a bit
frustrating as the removal was down
to miscommunication about what
was expected from the project.
“The whole board is really disappointed,”
he said. “This is not what
we wanted to happen.”
A city council spokesperson
said there were two projects being
undertaken in the Blighs Garden
area at the same time by different
teams. The first project involved tree
removals and the second project involved
both hedge and tree removal.
“Treetech advised that they had
issued the start work notice, however,
due to a communication error
both teams took this to mean that
applied to their project as the work
had been packaged together. In fact
it only applied to the first project.”
This meant that unfortunately the
neighbouring properties were not
aware work on the hedge was about
to start.
Miller plans to write a letter to the
council requesting to have the hedge
replaced and to ask for justification
on why the removal occurred.
Zervos said the original plan to
remove some of the hedge came
from safety concerns about how
hidden the area was, especially for
kids playing unable to be monitored
by anyone.
“Hopefully the space can get
upgraded to a nicer area,” she said.

Epic 100km run to raise money for
teenager Enzo ends with a cuppa
• By Kristie Boland
ANTHONY MARTIN’S
100km run
in Diamond
Harbour took
him more than
23 hours to
complete, at
the end of it all
he wanted was
a cup of Irish
Anthony
Martin
tea.
On Canterbury
Anniversary
Day, Anthony Martin ran 100km
with a 3600m elevation to raise
money for a Redcliffs teenager
who suffered a spinal injury in
early 2020.
Enzo Halliburton, now 18,
was involved in a tragic swimming
accident in Moncks Bay in
January, 2020. While swimming
with friends, Enzo dived into the
water and did not resurface. He
had seriously injured his spine
and his friends had to perform
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
and call for an ambulance.
Enzo suffered a C5-C7 spinal
injury and is now a tetraplegic.
Martin has a work colleague
whose son was with Enzo that
day. After hearing Enzo’s story,
Martin decided he wanted to do
ENDURANCE: Anthony Martin during his 100km run in Diamond Harbour.
something to help raise money
to go towards a specialised bike
for Enzo.
This was the first ultramarathon
distance Martin had
ran. During training, Martin
had what he described as a
“drawback” when he ruptured
his hamstring in two places, tore
the cartilage in his hip and had
to get his Achilles tendon reattached.
On the day of the run,
Martin joined in on part of the
Krayzie K’s ultra trail running
event. The temperature that day
was 27 deg C.
“Being an Irish lad, I’m not
built for heat,” said Martin.
The 100km run took him 23hr
38min. Thinking about Enzo
Enzo Halliburton
and what he had gone through is
what got Martin through those
last hours.
“Even in the worst pain that
I was in, it’s still a drop in the
ocean of the reality of being
tetraplegic,” he said.
When he finally crossed the
finish line at 8.25am on Saturday
morning, there was one thing on
Martin’s mind: “All I wanted was
a cup of tea, there was no tea [at
the finish line] so I drove to my
mates and he had some Irish tea
bags, it was perfect.”

Three new Avon River
bridge sites blessed
THE DALLINGTON Landing
and three new bridge sites in the
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor
were blessed last week.
The blessings were led by a
mana whenua representative,
signalling an important
milestone as the regeneration
area continued evolving into an
urban park asset for the city.
City council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said work
on all four sites was on track to
being completed in the coming
months.
“It’s exciting to see these different
areas developing and to
see the vision of the Regeneration
Plan begin to come to life,”
he said.
“Work on the Dallington
Landing is nearing completion
and we’re hopeful that we’ll
be able to pull some of the
fences down before the
Christmas break, so people can
enjoy the parts area over the
holidays.”
Rutledge said the landing
won’t be completed by Christmas,
with final landscaping
to be finished early in the new
year, but wanted people to connect
with and explore the Avon
River over the summer break.
Construction of the three
pedestrian bridges is also progressing
well, with all three due

to be completed by mid-2022.
The Avondale bridge was in
place and the Medway St bridge
span has been lifted into position.
Abutment piling on the Snell
Pl bridge is also under way,
Rutledge said.
The Medway St and Snell Pl
bridges reinstate a pedestrian
and cycle connection across
the Avon River, which has been
missing since the earthquakes,
while the Avondale bridge will
provide a connection to the
future Eastern Reach wetland
restoration area.
The Dallington Landing and
three pedestrian bridges have
been funded by a $13.7 million
grant from the Christchurch
Earthquake Appeal Trust.
IN PLACE: The Medway St bridge has been reinstalled.

Second of three
bridges in place
THE RETURN of foot and cycle
access across the Ōtākaro Avon
River at Medway St is another
step closer after the new Medway
St Bridge span was successfully
lifted into place by crane on
Monday.
The original Medway St
bridge became a local symbol
of the 2011 earthquakes after it
was twisted and warped by the
shakes.
City council’s head of parks,
Andrew Rutledge said: “The
Medway St bridge is probably
the most iconic of the three
new bridges, as it reinstates an
important community connection
that’s been missing since the
earthquakes,” he said.
“Now that the Medway St
bridge is in place, contractors
will install pre-cast decking
panels, timber boardwalks and
asphalt approach ramps, and
landscape the area.”
Rutledge said once completed
the bridges will play an integral
role in the future City to Sea
Pathway that will follow
the river from Barbadoes St to
New Brighton.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Christmas is a great time for passing down recipes that are tried and true becoming
traditional family favourites. The owner of this recipe says her mum used to make
the pudding on Christmas Eve and would take the bowl and wooden spoon around
everyone in the house to stir the mixture and make a wish.
Make a Wish Christmas Pudding
You will need:
• 1 ½ tbsp butter
• 1 ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 ½ cups of boiling water
• 1 ½ cups flour
• 1 ½ cups mixed fruit or sultanas
• ¾ cup sugar
Method:
1. In a glass or stainless steel bowl,
melt the butter (over hot water)
and dissolve the baking soda.
2. Add the boiling water and
sugar.
3. When cool, add flour and
mixed fruit.
4. Stir all the ingredients together
and make a Christmas wish.
5. Cover bowl with a tea towel and
allow to stand overnight.
The next day:
• Place mixture into a greased
bowl or ice-cream container,
cover with tinfoil and place in a
pot of water, just deep enough
so the bowl doesn’t float.
• Boil pudding for four hours and
check regularly to make sure
the water has boiled dry. Top
up carefully with extra water if
required.
• Serve with heaps of Chantilly
cream!
Chantilly
Cream
You will need:
• 1 x bottle of cream
• ½ tsp vanilla essence
• 1 tbsp icing sugar to
sweeten
Method:
Put cream, vanilla essence
and icing sugar in a bowl and
whisk until light and fluffy with
softly formed peaks. Cover and
refrigerate until ready to serve.
