Blooming lovely –<br />

and neat and tidy<br />

BEAUTIFUL: Ron Andrew had his garden recognised in the community pride awards.<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

CASHMERE IS among the top<br />

suburbs in the community pride<br />

garden awards.<br />

The awards, designed to spot<br />

neat and tidy gardens around<br />

the city, left judges impressed<br />

with what they saw, with<br />

Cashmere being a particularly<br />

stand-out area.<br />

Christchurch Beautifying<br />

Association president Ron<br />

Andrew, of Cashmere, was one<br />

of the judges. Andrew had his<br />

– although he had<br />

nothing to do with the judging<br />

in his own area.<br />

Plan to<br />

stop<br />

thieves<br />

in their<br />

tracks<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

AN URGENT meeting between<br />

police and the Spreydon-<br />

Cashmere Community Board has<br />

resulted in a decision to increase<br />

signage and public awareness<br />

around leaving valuables in cars.<br />

The meeting came from concerned<br />

residents reporting an<br />

increase in car break-ins over the<br />

summer at the Rapaki Track, Mt<br />

Vernon Park and Victoria Park<br />

car parks.<br />

Senior Sergeant Roy Appley,<br />

who spoke at the meeting, said<br />

while police don’t keep stats<br />

on car break-ins for particular<br />

areas, there had been a significant<br />

increase across the city since<br />

December.<br />

He said this time of year offences<br />

like burglary and theft<br />

increased and police were actively<br />

doing their best to prevent them.<br />

“We have limited resources<br />

that we can actually increase our<br />

proactive patrols in that area at<br />

the present time,” Appley said.<br />

“But nevertheless we endeavour<br />

to do whatever we can when we<br />

know that there’s a concern in<br />

particular areas.”<br />

Outcomes discussed included<br />

putting up more signage in<br />

areas where car break-ins were<br />

common to warn people.<br />

<strong>View</strong> board meetings online<br />

• By Fiona Ellis<br />

Karolin<br />

Potter<br />

COMMUNITY board meetings<br />

are now viewable on YouTube<br />

as the city council reverses<br />

its earlier refusal to record<br />

meetings.<br />

Community board meetings<br />

will be held via Zoom in red<br />

alert level, with live stream recordings<br />

posted to the site.<br />

Spreydon-<br />

Cashmere<br />

Community<br />

Board chairwoman<br />

Karolin<br />

Potter said the<br />

board likes the<br />

idea of meetings<br />

being more<br />

accessible to the<br />

public.<br />

“We hope<br />

the technology that puts council<br />

meetings online will become<br />

available at board level too,” she<br />

said.<br />

“We also look forward to<br />

proper mic systems being<br />

made available to all boards so<br />

that our meetings for example<br />

can be heard by everyone in the<br />

room.”<br />

City council head of community<br />

support and partnerships<br />

John Filsell said the council was<br />

in the process of setting up a<br />

YouTube channel for each community<br />

board.<br />

“It is our intention to live<br />

stream all community board<br />

GOING DIGITAL: Community board meetings will soon be available to view on YouTube,<br />

with the city council setting up a channel for each board.<br />

PHOTO: GETTY<br />

meetings to YouTube in the<br />

current red traffic light setting,”<br />

Filsell said.<br />

Not all the rooms used to host<br />

community board meetings had<br />

the technology to stream a good<br />

quality video, he said.<br />

However, it was not only members<br />

of the public who would be<br />

relegated to online attendance.<br />

Board members would not be<br />

meeting physically in red alert<br />

level.<br />

“With members of meetings<br />

attending via a device, we believe<br />

the obstacle of a poor quality<br />

stream will be overcome.”<br />

It was possible community<br />

board meetings would continue<br />

to be live-streamed in lower alert<br />

levels in spite of the technical<br />

issues with some meeting rooms.<br />

“Staff will be investigating<br />

options to enable this in the<br />

future when community boards<br />

physically meet in the same<br />

space.”<br />

In Brief<br />

VILLAGE PLAN SESSION<br />

A drop-in session about the<br />

Linwood Village Streetscape Plan<br />

is being held today at the Linwood<br />

Arts and Eastside Gallery from<br />

5-7pm. The project team will<br />

be there to discuss the plans for<br />

the village with the public. The<br />

plan focuses on safety with wider<br />

footpaths, dedicated cycle lanes<br />

and better lighting, plus improved<br />

landscaping. To have your say go<br />

FUNDING FOR CLUBS<br />

The Sydenham Junior Cricket<br />

Club has been granted $2500<br />

from the Spreydon-Cashmere<br />

Community Board. The money<br />

comes from the 2021/22<br />

Discretionary Response Fund and<br />

will go towards the Participation<br />

for Targeted Groups project.<br />

Meanwhile, Centaurus Ice Skating<br />

Club will receive $2800 to allow<br />

for more ice time for skaters. The<br />

money was approved by New<br />

A life-long love of repertory theatre<br />

Brenda Hayes has<br />

been involved with<br />

theatre in Canterbury<br />

for more than 50 years<br />

and recently received<br />

a Queen’s Service<br />

Medal in the New<br />

Year Honours List. She<br />

talks to reporter Emily<br />

Moorhouse about life<br />

behind the curtain<br />

COMMITTED: Brenda<br />

Hayes has been involved in<br />

theatre in Canterbury for<br />

more than 50 years.<br />

PHOTO: STAR MEDIA<br />

BRENDA’S INTEREST in<br />

theatre sparked while performing<br />

in a Sacred Heart College school<br />

play at the Canterbury Repertory<br />

Theatre when she was 16.<br />

She played the role of a mother<br />

in the 1950s musical Salad Hands<br />

– although even then Brenda<br />

said she was more drawn to the<br />

backstage and production side of<br />

things.<br />

“I just fell in love with theatre<br />

then, really. It was just magic,”<br />

she said. “I used to stand in the<br />

wings at night-time and just<br />

watch it, and I thought this is the<br />

place for me.”<br />

Now, at 69, Brenda has been<br />

a volunteer for the repertory<br />

theatre for almost 50 years, stage<br />

directing and managing, creating<br />

props and working on sound,<br />

lighting and graphic design.<br />

She was first involved in<br />

children’s theatre and did some<br />

acting – just small parts – before<br />

leaving to travel.<br />

When she returned, Brenda<br />

joined the Canterbury Repertory<br />

Theatre in 1972 and started off<br />

making props. She had found<br />

her niche working backstage,<br />

and even remembers creating a<br />

decapitated body to be used as a<br />

prop for one of the plays.<br />

Every play involved researching<br />

the period in time and making<br />

sure the production set matched,<br />

a factor Brenda particularly<br />

enjoyed.<br />

“I’m one of those people that<br />

likes to read up as much as I can<br />

about something and get the<br />

look and feel of a play right,” she<br />

said. “Theatre can use all your<br />

different talents like, I love art,<br />

I love graphics, I like research<br />

[and] I like history.”<br />

After years of stage managing,<br />

Brenda tried her hand at set<br />

design, often working in shifts<br />

to accommodate her full-time<br />

job as a medical radiation<br />

technologist.<br />

“It’s a nice balance to a job, I<br />

think,” she said. “You’ve got your<br />

work which makes the money<br />

but then theatre kind of balances<br />

you off.”<br />

SALAD DAYS: Where<br />

it all started – Brenda’s<br />

introduction to theatre<br />

was playing the role of<br />

a mother in a school<br />

performance when she<br />

was 16.<br />

sparked by childhood performance<br />

show The Pain and the Passion, and<br />

with her sister Geraldine Clarke who<br />

works in the wardrobe department.<br />

former home on Kilmore St, pictured<br />

here in 1985, was demolished after<br />

the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011 earthquake.<br />

PHOTO: CANTERBURY MUSEUM<br />

Two years into her new role,<br />

the theatre was destroyed in the<br />

<strong>February</strong> 22, 2011 earthquake,<br />

forcing the company to move<br />

around temporary buildings<br />

until they found a permanent<br />

place.<br />

All the while, Brenda worked<br />

on numerous plays, helping<br />

out with lighting and sound<br />

production, and developing new<br />

skills.<br />

“I think every time there’s a<br />

challenge and you need someone<br />

to do something sometimes<br />

you’ll end up doing it yourself,”<br />

she said.<br />

A stand-out moment for<br />

Brenda was working on a play<br />

in a large tent, brought to<br />

Christchurch by an entrepreneur<br />

after the earthquakes. One<br />

night it was raining heavily and<br />

Brenda was in the back row<br />

controlling the sound, while<br />

water ran down the back of her<br />

neck.<br />

While theatre brought its<br />

challenges, it also brought<br />

Brenda friendships and even a<br />

life partner.<br />

She recalled working on the<br />

set of Mary Poppins at the Isaac<br />

Theatre Royal when the director<br />

asked for suggestions on what<br />

prop should sit on a mantelpiece<br />

in a Victorian living room.<br />

At the same time, Brenda and<br />

a man named Joseph, who was<br />

the lighting designer, suggested a<br />

stuffed mongoose.<br />

“I just looked at him and<br />

thought, well he’s got a strange<br />

mind like I have,” Brenda said.<br />

“The rest is history. We were<br />

married seven months later.”<br />

Brenda has also boosted<br />

the company’s social media<br />

presence. A few years ago, she<br />

broke her foot and suddenly had<br />

a lot of time on her hands, so a<br />

friend brought around boxes of<br />

old theatre photos dating back to<br />

the 1930s. It took Brenda about<br />

six years to sort through them<br />

all, but she enjoyed the<br />

process.<br />

“I thought over lockdown I<br />

could post some of the pictures<br />

and people became really<br />

interested, so I ended up posting<br />

every day for about three<br />

months,” she said.<br />

This year, Brenda received<br />

a Queen’s Service Medal in<br />

the New Year Honours list,<br />

something she said “felt rather<br />

good” although admitted mixed<br />

feelings due to Covid-19 making<br />

it a sad and uncertain time for<br />

theatre.<br />

To celebrate her award,<br />

Brenda’s family got together with<br />

a cake and raised their glasses,<br />

while Joseph gave a speech.<br />

As for the future, Brenda said<br />

she won’t be leaving the theatre<br />

anytime soon.<br />

For her, it is a way of looking<br />

back at different stages of life,<br />

measured by what plays she was<br />

working on at the time.<br />

“I can look back at when we<br />

did Wind in the Willows and I sat<br />

on the river bank in the gardens<br />

for a month . . . [Now] I can walk<br />

through parts of the garden<br />

and I can just think of magic<br />

moments in plays and people<br />

and difficult props I found,” she<br />

said. “Otherwise one day just<br />

goes onto the next and suddenly<br />

you’re a day older.”<br />

Although Brenda has retired<br />

from her full-time work, she<br />

can’t see herself leaving the<br />

theatre anytime soon.<br />

“I think I’m committed,” she<br />

said. “I’ll stop learning the<br />

day I die.”

Thursday <strong>February</strong> <strong>17</strong> <strong>2022</strong><br />

We are thrilled to announce that we will be able<br />

to add “MRI” to our list of patient services from<br />

the middle of this year. McMaster & Heap have<br />

teamed up with Gareth and Pacific Radiology<br />

to bring this cutting edge technology to our<br />

patients and make it more easily available to<br />

other NZL veterinarians and their patients.<br />

We have always offered MRI through Pacific<br />

Radiology at Forte Health for a number of years<br />

now. The process has involved getting a slot for<br />

a pet patient at the end of the night (only some<br />

nights per week) when the radiographers have<br />

finished with their human clients. The owner<br />

meets me at Forte Health and we sedate the<br />

patient, perform the MRI, the whole process<br />

taking about 90 minutes. Once we have the<br />

MRI up and running, owners can drop their pets<br />

off at the clinic for the day until the procedure<br />

is performed and the animal is awake. Any<br />

veterinarians can bring their patients as well and<br />

utilise this service.<br />

Bringing this leading edge diagnostic<br />

technology into a clinic setting means that MRI<br />

is more accessible to pet patients 5 days a week.<br />

Basically any animal that can fit into the scanner<br />

(less than 180cm in circumference), can undergo<br />

an MRI as long as sedated, as they need to be<br />

very still. Monitoring equipment allows us to<br />

make sure they are okay once inside the scanner.<br />

As well as using this piece of equipment for cats<br />

and dogs, large animals, wildlife, exotic animals<br />

and zoo animals may take advantage of MRI at<br />

McMaster & Heap. It also may have benefits in<br />

research.<br />

MRI is very safe for the animal and is the best<br />

imaging modality available to investigate an<br />

animals brain, spine and joints. MRI can be<br />

crucial in surgical planning (Spinal surgery,<br />

Brain surgery). We anticipate urgent cases<br />

McMaster & Heap<br />

Veterinary practice<br />

MRI is coming to<br />

McMaster & Heap Vets<br />

can undergo MRI within 24 hours (as long as<br />

stable for sedation) therefore alleviating patient<br />

suffering and allowing faster, tailored treatment<br />

plans. We use specialist radiographers to<br />

interpret the hundreds of MRI images taken and<br />

send us a report on their findings.<br />

Being the first private practice in the country<br />

offering MRI services is very exciting for us. Steve<br />

and I have strived over the past 30 years to give<br />

companion animals the very best veterinary<br />

healthcare has to offer - in deliverance of care,<br />

cutting edge diagnostics and carefully thought<br />

out, managed treatment plans. Not to mention<br />

the skill set and decades of experience amassed<br />

in the veterinary team, and not forgetting the<br />

tremendous support and care given by our<br />

dedicated nursing team. Your pet is our #1<br />

priority.<br />

‘We’ve seen an upgrade<br />

in the quality of gardens’<br />

• From page 1<br />

Andrew said he was very<br />

pleased with the gardens<br />

around the city this year,<br />

guessing the pandemic had<br />

encouraged more people to<br />

get out in their gardens.<br />

“It was pretty<br />

competitive this year by<br />

gee,” he said.<br />

“People probably have a<br />

bit of spare time because<br />

of Covid. We’ve seen an<br />

upgrade in the quality of<br />

gardens and the interest.”<br />

Andrew said it was<br />

“quite a job” to select<br />

top gardens because<br />

certificates were limited.<br />

“There’s a fair group of<br />

people who are keen on<br />

maintaining the standard<br />

of the garden city and we<br />

see that come through,” he<br />

said.<br />

He also said while this<br />

year’s gardens were an<br />

improvement on last year’s,<br />

there were a few gardens<br />

that looked like they hadn’t<br />

been watered enough.<br />

“In some areas there<br />

was very poor quality<br />

berms and that was very<br />

disappointing,” Andrew<br />

said.<br />

Judging took place from<br />

January 15 to <strong>February</strong><br />

6, with judges inspecting<br />

gardens around the city<br />

everyday.<br />

“You get very tired and<br />

there’s a lot of pressure<br />

on you to get it done in<br />

time, so that’s hard work<br />

but enjoyable if you’re<br />

interested in gardens,”<br />

Andrew said. “Seeing all<br />

the beautiful gardens and<br />

talking to some of the<br />

people that come out to<br />

you and have a chat.”<br />

Pink cards were put in<br />

the mailboxes of houses<br />

that had standout gardens<br />

with instructions on how<br />

to accept the certificate,<br />

sent to winners by their<br />

local ward.<br />

The results of best streets<br />

and top gardens overall<br />

will be announced next<br />

month, Andrew said.<br />

While not everyone<br />

can win, the gardens<br />

have exceeded judges’<br />

expectations.<br />

“We were very happy<br />

given the circumstances,”<br />

he said. “There’s a lot of<br />

stress on people and a lot<br />

of worry for them because<br />

of the environment that’s<br />

currently under way and<br />

we were pleased to see<br />

so many taking on the<br />

gardening and producing<br />

great results.”<br />

Open 7 days<br />

McMaster & Heap<br />

Hide valuables from opportunists<br />

• From page 1<br />

Outcomes discussed<br />

include putting up more<br />

signage in areas where car<br />

break-ins are common to<br />

warn people.<br />

Community patrol<br />

groups will also be putting<br />

leaflets on cars, reminding<br />

drivers to be vigilant and<br />

park in more public and<br />

busier spots.<br />

Appley said the main<br />

driver of car break-ins was<br />

due to offenders being able<br />

to see property of value sitting<br />

in unattended cars.<br />

“If there’s one thing we<br />

could do [it would be] to<br />

get people to remove or<br />

cover up valuable items<br />

from their car so they<br />

weren’t easily seen,” he<br />

said. “If they don’t see it<br />

then they don’t take it.”<br />

Community board member<br />

Tim Scandrett agreed,<br />

saying hiding valuables<br />

under the seat or in the<br />

boot was an option.<br />

“These people that do<br />

this type of thing are<br />

opportunists and if<br />

it’s going to be hard<br />

then they won’t do it,”<br />

Scandrett said.<br />

“It’s an awful<br />

thing to happen to<br />

someone,” he said.<br />

“It’s just a shame it’s<br />

one of those things<br />

that we’ve got to be more<br />

vigilant about.”<br />

Scandrett praised the<br />

Christchurch South Community<br />

Patrol group and<br />

said it will be upping its<br />

presence with more patrol<br />

groups out.<br />

“These guys are volunteers,”<br />

he said. “It’s<br />

outstanding what they’re<br />

doing.”<br />

The board will also be<br />

Tim<br />

Scandrett<br />

working closely with city<br />

council rangers and will be<br />

having regular catch-ups<br />

with police about the issue.<br />

Appley said<br />

although some<br />

“natural relief” can<br />

be expected as car<br />

break-ins start to<br />

decline from now<br />

through to the end<br />

of winter, police<br />

will continue to<br />

take this crime seriously.<br />

He said in the last two<br />

years they have dedicated<br />

a squad to dealing with<br />

dishonesty offences.<br />

“You should be able to<br />

have your property in a<br />

vehicle and not expect it<br />

to get disturbed if your<br />

car’s locked,” he said. “But<br />

unfortunately for some<br />

people that’s not enough of<br />

a deterrent.”

Potters’ exhibition to showcase 50 years<br />

draws enthusiastic crowd on weekend<br />

• By Fiona Ellis<br />

WHEN NGAIRIE Van<br />

Grondelle joined the Halswell<br />

Pottery Group as a foundation<br />

member, she never imagined the<br />

the group would still be running<br />

more than 50 years later.<br />

Last weekend the group held<br />

its 50th-anniversary exhibition<br />

at its Candys Rd clubrooms,<br />

delayed a year due to the<br />

Covid-19 pandemic.<br />

The exhibition was “absolutely<br />

stunning”, Ngairie said.<br />

“It was a reasonably sized<br />

exhibition together with an exhibition<br />

of retrospective pots.”<br />

Over the years many talented<br />

pottery makers had trained in<br />

Halswell, and some of these<br />

works were on display in the<br />

retrospective exhibition, she said.<br />

In addition to members’ work,<br />

pottery demonstrations took<br />

place in a marquee in front of<br />

the clubrooms, and visitors were<br />

also able to see the group’s range<br />

of kilns.<br />

This included a wood kiln,<br />

which required stoking every<br />

three minutes, two large combustion<br />

kilns, an anagama kiln<br />

and a salt kiln.<br />

ANNIVERSARY: Katrina Wilke shows one of her bowls<br />

for sale at the Halswell Pottery Group’s 50th-anniversary<br />

exhibition, beside several unique works by sculptor Jane<br />

Whales. Also on display were works by some of the group’s<br />

earliest members, Ngairie Van Grondelle (above left), Gaye<br />

Morton and Averil Cave.<br />

PHOTOS: STAR MEDIA<br />

The level of public interest in<br />

spite of the “atrocious” weather<br />

stood out for Ngairie as a highlight.<br />

“People just came out, it was<br />

amazing, all day from 10am until<br />

we closed, there were people in<br />

large groups viewing the pots.”<br />

Visitors were also interested in<br />

learning pottery with the group,<br />

to the point where the waitlist<br />

sometimes had to be closed, she<br />

said.<br />

“We get people coming back,<br />

and coming back, and coming<br />

back.”<br />

With the high level of enthusiasm<br />

for pottery, Ngaire was optimistic<br />

about the group’s future.<br />

“I firmly believe that with the<br />

right people it will be there in<br />

[another] 50 years.”<br />
