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.
