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 />

Meanwhile, Centaurus Ice Skating<br />
Club will receive $2800 to allow<br />
for more ice time for skaters. The<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 />

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 />

BLOOM: Ron Andrew said he was pleased to see others working on their<br />
gardens for the community pride garden awards. PHOTO: STAR MEDIA<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 />

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 />
