A mother’s story of loss,<br />

grief and a cancer blow<br />

A mother who has<br />

experienced tragedy<br />

still manages to find<br />

joy in the small things.<br />

After losing her 13-dayold<br />

baby and being<br />

diagnosed with stage<br />

four ovarian cancer<br />

with a life expectancy<br />

prognosis of five to 15<br />

years, Sarah Luxon uses<br />

her blog to write about<br />

the “messy things” in<br />

life. Emily Moorhouse<br />

reports<br />

FOUR YEARS ago Sarah Luxon,<br />

34, gave birth to what appeared<br />

to be a perfectly healthy baby girl<br />

named Mackenzie.<br />

However, the second week into<br />

Mackenzie’s life, Sarah noticed<br />

she was becoming quite grizzly<br />

but after a check up from the<br />

midwife, was told everything was<br />

okay.<br />

LOSS: (Above left) – Sarah Luxon lost her baby Mackenzie to a heart defect when she was 13-days-old. Since then Sarah<br />

has raised more than $3000 for Kenzie’s Gift, a charity that supports families through grief and loss. (Above) – Sarah and<br />

husband Greg, along with daughters Hazel, 7, Willa, 2, and step-daughter Tayla, 19, travel to Tekapo each year on the<br />

anniversary of Mackenzie’s death to connect as a family during what can be a difficult time.<br />

Gus finds out what it’s<br />

like to be mayor for a day<br />

GUS McPHERSON likes all the<br />

things a 10 year old should – his<br />

dog, football, gaming, water<br />

polo, guitar, surf lifesaving,<br />

swimming and mountain<br />

biking.<br />

But he also has a particular<br />

interest in politics and could<br />

one day see himself sitting at the<br />

head of the city council table as<br />

nayor.<br />

So that’s why Gus became<br />

Mayor Lianne Dalziel’s assistant<br />

for the day, sitting by her side<br />

and overseeing the <strong>June</strong> 9 city<br />

council meeting.<br />

He even goes to the same<br />

school the mayor and councillor<br />

Pauline Cotter went to, St Patrick’s<br />

School.<br />

“But the mayor went a few<br />

years before me,” Gus said.<br />

So after meeting her at Vic’s<br />

Cafe it was decided he would<br />

spend the day helping the<br />

mayor out to see how the city<br />

council works and understand<br />

what councillors do “to make<br />

Christchurch great again.”<br />

Gus’ day in the chamber saw<br />

him being treated like the mayor<br />

and helping run the meeting<br />

through a number of different<br />

items.<br />

“I really liked the community<br />

board reports. Especially how<br />

POLITICAL INTEREST: Gus McPherson was Mayor Lianne Dalziel’s assistant for a day.<br />

[Waitai Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board chair] Kelly<br />

Barber responded and presented<br />

the report to me,” Gus said.<br />

Ms Dalziel said it was great to<br />

have a young person bring some<br />

joy to the city council table for<br />

the day.<br />

“He turned up, dressed up and<br />

looked like a regular part of the<br />

business,” she said.<br />

“He was incredibly diplomatic<br />

and kept the councillors in line<br />

which are important parts of<br />

being a mayor. He’s got a great<br />

political mind.”<br />

She was particularly impressed<br />

with his speech, parts of which<br />

were ad-libbed.<br />

Gus said it was worth<br />

skipping a day of school for<br />

and could definitely see<br />

himself running for mayor . . .<br />

one day.<br />

School to<br />

celebrate<br />

150th<br />

anniversary<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

THIS YEAR Papanui Primary<br />

School will celebrate 150 years<br />

of learning with a celebration<br />

planned that could also act as a<br />

reunion for past pupils.<br />

Principal Paul Kingston said a<br />

celebration was supposed to be<br />

held last year, but due to Covid<br />

this was postponed.<br />

Instead, the pupils’ celebrated<br />

last year by working on different<br />

projects around the school, but<br />

wanted to organise a proper celebration<br />

worthy of 150 years.<br />

The celebration is likely to<br />

take place in November and will<br />

include speeches, afternoon tea<br />

with a cake and a tree planting.<br />

Kingston said there’s a “wee bit<br />

of history” with the school, having<br />

moved to its current site at<br />

40 Winters Rd in 1920 and undergoing<br />

renovations in the 60s<br />

and again after the earthquakes.<br />

“It looks very different, people<br />

are amazed by the physical<br />

changes,” Kingston said.<br />

Kingston has been with the<br />

school for 20 years, serving as<br />

the longest-standing principal<br />

and said the school has operated<br />

through some significant events<br />

such as the earthquakes and<br />

pandemic.<br />

Jayne and I would like to thank you for the work you’ve done to get us where<br />

we are today. Bit of a blur really. Every step in the process has gone into<br />

achieving the result today that exceeded our expectations. The detail and<br />

professionalism has been on point. Staging, photography, the video along<br />

with the marketing campaign all leading to a great property to present to<br />

the market. These aspects all set the scene perfectly for the open homes and<br />

visits leading to today’s outstanding auction result. Quiet night tonight but<br />

sure there will be a few celebratory drinks later in the week.<br />

‘It’s made me appreciate what’s actually<br />

• From page 1<br />

A few days later, feeling like<br />

something wasn’t right, Sarah<br />

took Mackenzie to an after hours<br />

medical centre.<br />

Within minutes of arriving,<br />

Mackenzie’s heart stopped beating.<br />

“It was horrible, just watching<br />

my wee baby being resuscitated<br />

and having to call my husband<br />

to tell him that her heart had<br />

stopped and to come in,” Sarah<br />

said.<br />

“She passed away very suddenly<br />

and I had no idea what had<br />

happened until the post-mortem<br />

came back, and it took months.”<br />

Mackenzie died from a heart<br />

defect where a hole in her heart,<br />

known as a patent ductus arteriosus,<br />

hadn’t properly closed over<br />

after being born as well as having<br />

high blood pressure in her lungs.<br />

Sarah said while the hospital<br />

staff did an incredible job at trying<br />

to help Mackenzie, it was too<br />

much for her little body to handle<br />

and she died at 13-days-old.<br />

“She coped with what ended<br />

up being fatal very well right up<br />

until her body went: ‘We can’t do<br />

this anymore’.”<br />

Afterwards, Sarah felt there<br />

was a lack of mental health<br />

support offered with no funded<br />

clinical psychologists or counsellors<br />

to talk to.<br />

She attended a support group<br />

but said she would have benefited<br />

much more from one-on-one<br />

therapy, and feels as though her<br />

seven-year-old daughter, who<br />

was two at the time would have<br />

benefited from this as well.<br />

Every August, for Mackenzie’s<br />

anniversary, Sarah goes to Tekapo<br />

with her husband Greg, their<br />

daughters Hazel, 7, and Willa, 2,<br />

and her step-daughter Tayla, 19,<br />

to connect as a family through<br />

what is a very hard time.<br />

Last year when they were checking<br />

out of their accommodation,<br />

Sarah asked to book for the same<br />

time next year and got talking to<br />

the woman at reception.<br />

She opened up about the reason<br />

behind their yearly visit and<br />

the pain of loosing Mackenzie.<br />

The woman said to Sarah:<br />

“That’s given me goosebumps,”<br />

and told her about Kenzie’s Gift,<br />

a charity that supports families<br />

going through grief or loss.<br />

The charity was doing a winter<br />

swim challenge to raise money<br />

for mental health to go towards<br />

helping families in similar situations<br />

to Sarah’s.<br />

So Sarah decided to commit to<br />

the winter swims, mostly at New<br />

LOVE: Sarah<br />

Luxon is making<br />

the most of<br />

time she has<br />

left with her<br />

family and said<br />

she’s enjoying<br />

the small things<br />

like picking up<br />

the kids from<br />

school.<br />

Brighton Beach to raise money<br />

for what she described as a very<br />

worthwhile cause.<br />

“I’m not a big putting myself<br />

out there person but I did 13 dips<br />

so one for each day of Mackenzie’s<br />

life,” Sarah said.<br />

Sarah, who isn’t a strong<br />

swimmer started off with a goal<br />

of raising $300 and was “very<br />

touched” by people’s generosity<br />

when she raised more than<br />

$3000.<br />

However, during her dips,<br />

Sarah noticed a lump on her<br />

abdomen that she assumed was a<br />

hernia.<br />

But after feeling fatigued and<br />

experiencing bowel issues, she<br />

went for a check up.<br />

After multiple visits to doctors,<br />

a gynaecologic oncologist, orthopaedics,<br />

an ultrasound, an MRI,<br />

a biopsy and months of waiting,<br />

Sarah was diagnosed with stage<br />

four ovarian cancer and given a<br />

five to 15-year prognosis.<br />

During this time, Sarah continued<br />

with her winter dips, in<br />

spite of it being painful on her<br />

abdomen.<br />

Sarah said she felt frustrated<br />

with how long it took to get a diagnosis<br />

and said if it was a lump<br />

on her breast she would have got<br />

it checked straight away.<br />

“As women we get told to check<br />

our breasts, but we don’t hear<br />

that there’s no screening at all<br />

for ovarian cancer. It was not<br />

something that I knew about or<br />

considered,” she said.<br />

“There’s just not enough awareness<br />

about all of those issues and<br />

people feel really awkward talking<br />

about ovaries.”<br />

Faced with a prognosis of up<br />

to 15 years and still grieving the<br />

loss of baby Mackenzie, Sarah<br />

realised she felt alone, so started<br />

a blog in hopes of helping others<br />

going through something<br />

similar.<br />

She called it Joy in the Small<br />

Things and posts regularly about<br />

navigating life with her diagnosis<br />

and sharing her experiences.<br />

“I started it up just as a way<br />

to share with people what was<br />

happening with cancer and<br />

the treatment and I found that<br />

writing helped me work through<br />

quite a few things emotionally<br />

and mentally.”<br />

“I felt quite isolated<br />

or separated<br />

because I didn’t<br />

know anybody<br />

else who had been<br />

through a similar<br />

experience with<br />

having a daughter<br />

die at 13 days and<br />

then finding that<br />

there’s not a huge<br />

amount of awareness<br />

on ovarian<br />

cancer as well,”<br />

Sarah said.<br />

Sarah has undergone<br />

surgery<br />

to have all the<br />

visible tumours<br />

removed and began<br />

chemotherapy<br />

on Christmas Eve,<br />

and is now on<br />

hormone blockers to prevent any<br />

further growths.<br />

“Scientists haven’t done studies<br />

on people with this cancer [ovarian]<br />

so they don’t know how best<br />

to treat it so it’s not that there<br />

are drugs out there that aren’t<br />

funded, it’s that they don’t know<br />

what drugs to actually make<br />

available for us,” Sarah said.<br />

“There’s no research so it feels<br />

quite lonely. They can’t even give<br />

me a prognosis better than five to<br />

15 years.”<br />

Sarah said she’s still trying to<br />

get her head around her prognosis<br />

and gets tripped up on a<br />

daily basis by her seven-year-old<br />

asking questions<br />

like will she ever<br />

be a grandma?<br />

“How do you<br />

respond to that?<br />

Yeah, it’s very<br />

hard.”<br />

Sarah has<br />

stopped working<br />

to spend as much<br />

time as she can<br />

with her family<br />

and said she tries<br />

her best to stay in<br />

the moment.<br />

“I can’t bring<br />

myself to miss out<br />

on the potentially<br />

short time left<br />

with the kids. I’m<br />

enjoying taking<br />

the kids to swimming<br />

lessons and<br />

being there at the<br />

school gates for pick-up.”<br />

Sarah said she feels incredibly<br />

lucky for the people she has<br />

around her and after all she’s<br />

been through it’s changed her<br />

perspective on life.<br />

“It’s made me appreciate what’s<br />

actually important, I don’t sweat<br />

the small stuff,” she said.<br />

“I just want to help people, I<br />

just want to make a difference in<br />

someone else’s life.”<br />

Miniature gets makeover<br />

A LOT of attention to detail and<br />

a dash of nostalgia. Those are key<br />

to the work artist Mike Beer –<br />

aka GhostCat – is doing in situ,<br />

restoring the miniature model<br />

of the Port Hills at the Victoria<br />

Park Visitor Centre.<br />

The model was originally<br />

created by Judith Streat and installed<br />

as part of the visitor centre<br />

upgrade in the early 2000s.<br />

“It was really nice to see some<br />

of the most popular places and<br />

trails had worn away on the<br />

model as you could literally see<br />

where people had traced their<br />

pathways,” said city council<br />

parks programmes and partnerships<br />

manager Kate Russell.<br />

“But after more than 20 years,<br />

the model was at the end of its<br />

life and it was time for a refresh.”<br />

The work is being done by<br />

Beer, who has found his niche in<br />

miniatures.<br />

“I usually do more urban work,<br />

miniature objects, buildings and<br />

city stuff, so this was a bit out of<br />

the ordinary for me,” he said.<br />

“It’s not like these jobs come up<br />

very often. I’m stoked to be doing<br />

it. The Port Hills are such an<br />

iconic part of Christchurch.”<br />

Over the five days he’s been<br />

working on it, he’s been focused<br />

on making it look as realistic as<br />

possible.<br />

“The process is all about building<br />

it up in layers. You start with<br />

the landscape, the trees and the<br />

scrub before you add detail,”<br />

Beer said.<br />

“Then we’ve added the tracks,<br />

more details to the outer areas<br />

like the sea of Lyttelton Harbour<br />

and the roads, even some froth in<br />

the ocean where it would hit the<br />

hills.”<br />

As well as restoring the model,<br />

it’s also being updated with more<br />

accurate track locations and<br />

Māori place names.<br />

Said Russell: “This project is<br />

part of a wider refresh of the<br />

centre, which will also include<br />

Māori content such as providing<br />

access to the Ngāi Tahu Atlas<br />

and sharing the story of the<br />

Māori relationship with the<br />

Port Hills.”<br />

THE IMPORTANCE OF<br />

GIVING BLOOD<br />

Recently my wee Macy, two year old Black<br />

Labrador, gave her blood in the hope of<br />

saving a dogs life. Lola donated blood<br />

frequently in her earlier years before she<br />

got kidney cancer and had chemotherapy,<br />

rendering her unsuitable.<br />

Macy used to be needle phobic and it<br />

would take a lot of persuading and many<br />

treats just to get her still enough to take her<br />

own blood for testing. She has watched<br />

me lots pulling blood from other dogs, so<br />

this time around she was brave. Firstly we<br />

needed to blood type her to make sure<br />

she was a match for the patient. The dog<br />

requiring her blood had<br />

already had one past<br />

transfusion, so this time<br />

around we needed a<br />

perfect blood match.<br />

Luckily our external<br />

laboratory move fast to<br />

cross match the blood,<br />

so within the hour we<br />

knew Macy was going<br />

to be a donor. Both<br />

were DEA 1.1 negative.<br />

Macy was then sedated<br />

and prepared for her<br />

transfusion. Blood is<br />

taken via a large bore<br />

COAGULOPATHY can happen with<br />

poisoning like rat bait, shock, cancers,<br />

parasites, liver disease and acute blood loss.<br />

To see whether a patient needs a<br />

transfusion we clinically and physically<br />

evaluate them. There are blood tests<br />

we run to check RBC numbers, platelet<br />

numbers and clotting times. Blood<br />

products are not a benign treatment<br />

and do come with potential risks, and<br />

are also a financial consideration to the<br />

patient’s owner - choosing the best time to<br />

transfuse to provide the maximum benefit<br />

is also essential, especially if finances are<br />

limited for multiple<br />

transfusions.<br />

Then we need to<br />

decide what blood<br />

product to give. A few<br />

types are fresh whole<br />

blood FWB, fresh frozen<br />

plasma FFP, packed red<br />

blood cells PRBCs and<br />

frozen plasma FP. The<br />

patient in question got<br />

FWB from Macy. This is<br />

blood collected from<br />

the donor in whole<br />

form and contains both<br />

Bid for lower water<br />

rates in coastal areas<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

A COMMUNITY board member wants<br />

people living in the coastal suburbs to have<br />

cheaper excess water rates.<br />

Community board member for the Burwood<br />

Ward Linda Stewart is concerned<br />

not enough people are aware of the excess<br />

water rates that will come into effect on<br />

July 1.<br />

“I can see a lot of people are going to be<br />

upset,” she said.<br />

Stewart said the coastal suburbs are<br />

sand-based, so people<br />

tend to use more water to<br />

irrigate their gardens.<br />

“We water more<br />

frequently so I’m feeling a<br />

bit sorry for us over here,<br />

I wanted to see a cheaper<br />

rates struck for the coastal<br />

suburbs, any suburb that is Linda<br />

sand-based,” she said. Stewart<br />

Stewart posted to a local<br />

Facebook group asking if people knew<br />

about the rate and included a link for<br />

residents to check how much water they<br />

use.<br />

“The feedback was they were shocked<br />

and horrified because they’ve discovered<br />

they’re a really high user.”<br />

Head of three waters Helen Beaumont<br />

said councillors are considering whether<br />

implementation of the rate gets delayed,<br />

which will be decided at the annual plan<br />

meeting on Tuesday.<br />

Stewart is urging residents to check their<br />

water use through the water reporter on<br />

the city council’s website and said water<br />

use will only increase over summer.<br />

The rate was passed last year in the city<br />

council’s annual plan, in<br />

spite of the Waitai Coastal-<br />

Burwood Community<br />

Board making a submission<br />

against it.<br />

The targeted rate will<br />

apply to any single household<br />

with a water meter<br />

Helen<br />

Beaumont<br />

Thursday <strong>June</strong> <strong>16</strong> <strong>2022</strong><br />

that uses, on average,<br />

more than 700 litres a day,<br />

roughly equivalent to 100<br />

toilet flushes.<br />

“Property owners in Christchurch and<br />

Banks Peninsula will pay a fixed rate of<br />

$1.35 for every 1000 litres they use over the<br />

average limit,” Beaumont said.<br />

Households will receive an invoice for<br />

any excess water used roughly every<br />

90 days.<br />

SuperGold<br />

needle from her jugular<br />

vein and it takes 10-15<br />

minutes to pull so she<br />

needs to lie perfectly<br />

still, hence the sedation.<br />

She wasn’t readily<br />

giving up her blood<br />

but we managed to<br />

get about 400mls to<br />

transfuse. Immediately<br />

the transfused Whole<br />

Blood is administered<br />

to the dog needing<br />

it, slowly infused<br />

via a pump system.<br />

Often the recipient<br />

immediately feels better and has more<br />

energy.<br />

The main reasons we transfuse a patient<br />

is for ANEMIA (where a patient has a<br />

reduced number of Red Blood cells) and<br />

COAGULOPATHY (clotting dysfunction).<br />

RBCs deliver oxygen to tissues so we can’t<br />

do without these.<br />

ANEMIA can be acute (road traffic<br />

accidents) or chronic (as in cancers, poisons<br />

like rat bait and Immume mediated<br />

disorders). The dog Macy helped out<br />

had Immune Mediated Anemia and<br />

Thrombocytopenia (low platelets).<br />

red blood cells and<br />

plasma elements. It is<br />

easily collected and<br />

requires no processing<br />

before transfusion.<br />

Main purpose - acute<br />

blood loss or active<br />

bleeding, as it replaces<br />

what is directly being<br />

lost. Unless transfused<br />

to the patient within<br />

6-8 hours of collection,<br />

it is a poor source of<br />

clotting factors. Main<br />

indication for use is<br />

anemia.<br />

Blood transfusions don’t happen every day<br />

but when a patient does require blood, it<br />

needs to happen then and there if we are<br />

to save a life. Many of the staff pets have<br />

been blood typed so now we have a pool<br />

of donors to call on if needed. Obviously<br />

they need to be healthy, fully vaccinated,<br />

the right weight to give up 1/2 litre blood<br />

and not receiving chemotherapy or<br />

immunosuppressive drugs.<br />

A great gift to be able to give another dog,<br />

I’m very proud of my Macy.<br />

Pacific attire can be worn at Christ’s College<br />

CHRIST’S College’s adoption<br />

of a Pacific garment is being<br />

described as a step in the right<br />

direction.<br />

Students at the exclusive school<br />

can now wear ie faitaga to school<br />

as part of their uniform instead<br />

of grey trousers.<br />

It is described as a more formal<br />

version of a lava lava. The<br />

garment is called ie faitaga in<br />

Samoan, tupenu in Tongan and<br />

sulu in Fijian.<br />

Principal, Garth Wynne, said<br />

the addition to the official college<br />

uniform could be worn by<br />

Pasifika students in place of their<br />

trousers throughout the year.<br />

Student Jayden Sa, 17, grew up<br />

in a Samoan family. He is a New<br />

Zealander but is proud of his<br />

Samoan culture. For him, the ie<br />

faitaga represents more than just<br />

a uniform.<br />

“Last year when we didn’t<br />

have any, seeing the other<br />

schools wearing the ie faitaga, I<br />

just wanted to be a part of that<br />

because they get to represent<br />

themselves and their culture and<br />

I thought: ‘Why not get involved<br />

and embrace our culture’,” he<br />

said.<br />

When other boys from different<br />

schools wore their ie<br />

faitaga that got Jayden – who is<br />

in Christ’s College first rugby<br />

XV, a teacher, and then the principal<br />

thinking.<br />

Said assistant principal Neil<br />

Porter: “I thought: ‘Why aren’t<br />

we doing that?’,”<br />

So he made it happen. It was<br />

easy to implement because<br />

Christ’s College is not the first<br />

school in the country or even the<br />

city to make them an option.<br />

Porter wishes the decision was<br />

made sooner.<br />

“Some people are further<br />

down the journey than we are.<br />

I think it is a step in the right<br />

direction. In my view, it has been<br />

so well received by the students<br />

and their parents that in some<br />

ways I am kicking myself that we<br />

didn’t do it earlier.”<br />

Jayden and the boys in the first<br />

XV are honoured they are now<br />

able to wear ie faitaga at College.<br />

“I was pretty stoked. I was<br />

pretty happy that he even<br />

thought of us in a way. It’s great,”<br />

Sa said.<br />

Former Principals’ Federation<br />

president Whetu Cormick<br />

wants all schools to do more to<br />

address issues Pasifika students<br />

face.<br />

“One could argue that a uniform<br />

change is merely a surfacecovering<br />

initiative. I mean I applaud<br />

the school but what are the<br />

wider challenges for Māori and<br />

Pacific students, and we know<br />

what they are. High levels of<br />

under-achievement and, I would<br />

argue, that they have come about<br />

because the system has perpetuated<br />

the inequities, racism, and<br />

low expectations,” Cormick, who<br />

is now an educational consultant,<br />

said.<br />

Tautai o le Moana Trust,<br />

which is a branch of the New<br />

Zealand Pasifika Principals Association,<br />

believes equity goes<br />

beyond reading, writing, and<br />

maths.<br />

“It’s about understanding the<br />

person that you are working<br />

with, the strength behind them,<br />

their languages and their heritage<br />

that make them who they<br />

are,” trust director Helen Varney<br />

said.<br />

Jayden Sa’s new found pride is<br />

a testament to that.<br />

“It motivates me just like<br />

thinking of family and where<br />

I come from and what got me<br />

here,” he said.<br />

Sa hopes other schools yet to<br />

make ie faitaga an option have a<br />

light-bulb moment and make the<br />

change.<br />

Ford fans put their ponies on show<br />

• By John Cosgrove<br />

BETTING ON the odds of it not<br />

raining in spite of the forecast,<br />

Ross Stubley of Avondale,<br />

chanced the weather by taking<br />

his Ford Capri soft top out for a<br />

run to a Ford event at Leithfield<br />

on Sunday.<br />

Stubley said like many, his<br />

passion for Fords began at an<br />

early age.<br />

“I started off with Ford cars,<br />

buying EB Falcons and Fairlanes,<br />

and yeah, I’ve got a few now, I<br />

just like the smoothness of them<br />

and the way they look,” Stubley<br />

said.<br />

Nearly 200 Fords of all ages<br />

and descriptions turned out<br />

to show off their lines, curves,<br />

engines and pedigrees.<br />

Even though they were<br />

built in Australia, England,<br />

Germany and of course Detroit,<br />

who could not fail to see the<br />

passion in the eyes and voices of<br />

the hundreds of owners and enthusiasts<br />

who turned up for the<br />

Ford day at the Waimak Classic<br />

Cars museum.<br />

There were Falcons old and<br />

new, Fairlanes, Mustangs from<br />

both centuries, Capris, Thunderbirds,<br />

Cortinas, Escorts, Zephyrs<br />

and more.<br />

Chris Ash, 70, of Parklands,<br />

turned up with his 2021 5-litre<br />

Mach Mustang and said he<br />

had grown up with early Ford<br />

coupes.<br />

“As a young fella I grew up<br />

with all the earlier 39 Ford<br />

coupes. I saw the earlier Mach<br />

1 models back in the 70s and I<br />

thought: ‘Gee look at that.’<br />

“I thought I would never own<br />

one until I got to a stage when I<br />

can now afford one and thought<br />

I might get an old one, but I<br />

bought this 21 model Mustang<br />

because Fords don’t break<br />

down,” Ash said.<br />

Greg Herrett of Linwood said<br />

he has always just liked them.<br />

“Over time, just the way<br />

they’ve been performed, and enhanced,<br />

and you can’t go wrong,”<br />

he said.<br />

Standing beside his immaculate<br />

66 Mustang coupe, Rick<br />

Paulsen, said he had been a Ford<br />

fan all his life, owning many<br />

over the years, from Escorts to<br />

Mustangs.<br />

“I’ve been a blue oval man<br />

through and through for all my<br />

life. My dad had Falcons, and the<br />

reason I own a 66 coupe like this<br />

one was because my uncle had one<br />

when I was six years old, and I said<br />

one day, I’m going to own one and<br />

now I do,” Paulsen said.<br />

Waimak Classic Cars spokesperson<br />

Sally Lane said it was<br />

an honour for them to host the<br />

event.<br />

“We were holding the<br />

Ford event for all the Ford<br />

lovers, drivers, dreamers and<br />

owners.<br />

“There was a very good vibe<br />

there and we had the Mustang<br />

club here as well as the hot rod<br />

club turn up and compete for a<br />

wide variety of prizes for best in<br />

show,” she said.<br />

Many Ford fans said they had<br />

been born into Ford families.<br />

Bruce McCormick of<br />

Harewood, said he had followed<br />

in his father’s footsteps and had a<br />

lifelong passion for early Fords.<br />

“My father had 46, 48 sedans,<br />

and I have a 37 Ford V8 sedan<br />

and a 37 club ute, I just love<br />

them,” he said.<br />

Let’s use water<br />

like we oughta<br />

Charges are in the pipeline for households in Christchurch<br />

and Banks Peninsula that regularly use large amounts of water.<br />

Most households are using less than 700 litres of water a day and won’t be charged. Thanks for using water like you oughta!<br />

A fairer way to manage our city’s water supply<br />

We don’t charge ratepayers for water itself. We charge for delivering it -<br />

through our network of pipes, pumps and other infrastructure.<br />

When the district’s water use doubles over summer, the cost of<br />

delivering water goes up significantly too. That increase in demand isn’t<br />

spread evenly, with most of the increase due to a small proportion of<br />

households.<br />

When demand on our water supply network is at its peak we’re at risk of<br />

not being able to supply enough water to properties, which could have<br />

serious impacts on public health, and our ability to fight fires.<br />

If everyone uses water like we oughta, we won’t need to spend as much<br />

money expanding our water supply network, and it will also improve<br />

the sustainability of our city’s water supply, which helps us achieve our<br />

climate change goals.<br />

Seek the leak and reduce your use<br />

You can use our Water Reporter online tool to find out how much water<br />

your household uses – visit ccc.govt.nz/WaterReporter<br />

If your household is using a lot of water there might be a leak on<br />

your property. You have time to find the leak and get it fixed.<br />

Our website tells you about how to read your water meter, check for<br />

leaks and reduce your water use*.<br />

*Some properties’ water use is not recorded on the Water Reporter.<br />

This includes: properties with a shared water<br />

meter, properties that haven’t had their<br />

water meter read due to inaccessibility<br />

of the meter and properties without<br />

a water meter.<br />

fundraising target<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

IT WAS smiles all round from volunteers<br />

at the New Brighton Museum, knowing<br />

it can finally purchase the building on<br />

Hardy St.<br />

The museum was granted $105,000<br />

from Lottery Environment and Heritage,<br />

which gives it enough to buy the building<br />

with some leftover.<br />

Museum secretary Peggy Butterfield<br />

said volunteers were “over the moon” to<br />

hear of the lovely news.<br />

“We were holding our breath because we<br />

needed to find out by the end of <strong>June</strong>. It’s<br />

good news for the community for once,<br />

instead of bad news,” Butterfield said.<br />

The leftover money will go towards upgrades<br />

to both the inside and outside<br />

of the 110-year-old building, with the<br />

roof needing repairs and the walls a<br />

revamp.<br />

Butterfield said the museum has already<br />

had engineers come through and plans<br />

are in place for upgrades, which the<br />

volunteers will be fundraising for to cover<br />

costs.<br />

She said the idea of buying the museum<br />

was first mentioned two years ago, so it<br />

was great to finally have that “sense of<br />

security”.<br />

“It takes away the worry of having to<br />

worry about applying for grants to pay the<br />

rent all the time because that was getting<br />

quite hard,” she said.<br />

Museum president Tim Baker had a new<br />

sign made as a ‘thank you’ for the grants<br />

and donations received.<br />

The lottery grant was applied for<br />

in February through a professional<br />

fundraiser and Butterfield said the money<br />

should come through any day now.<br />

She said the museum received more<br />

than 200 likes when she shared the news<br />

on its Facebook page.<br />

“We don’t get a lot of visitors but<br />

obviously we’ve got a big following, people<br />

support us because they want to see us<br />

keep the museum, they don’t want to see it<br />

go,” she said.<br />

“It’s a big relief and I think the<br />

community are right behind us.”<br />

Keep cosy with<br />

RD Petroleum<br />

this winter<br />

Food writer Nadia Lim’s latest book YUM! is all about<br />

helping parents show their children that food is fun, good<br />

for them and part of family time. She is joined by cook<br />

Annabel Inglis and paediatric dietitians Jenny Douglas and<br />

Lisa Daniels to ensure the recipes pack in the goodness,<br />

but are still appealing to children and their parents.<br />

Carrot & Feijoa Mini Muffins<br />

Makes 24<br />

Subtly sweetened with just carrot and<br />

fruit, these muffins are perfect for baby-led<br />

weaning. They also make a great portable<br />

snack for toddlers when you are out and<br />

about. If it’s not feijoa season, you can use<br />

one small (227g-235g) can of crushed pineapple<br />

in natural juice (drain well first).<br />

Ingredients<br />

1¼ cups plain flour<br />

3 tsp baking powder<br />

½ tsp ground cinnamon or mixed spice<br />

¾ cup finely grated carrot<br />

1 free-range egg, lightly whisked (or 1<br />

flax egg)<br />

1 tsp vanilla essence or extract<br />

¼ cup natural unsweetened yoghurt<br />

¾ cup mashed ripe banana<br />

75g butter, melted<br />

¼ cup finely diced feijoa flesh<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat oven to 200degC. Grease a 24-hole<br />

mini muffin tin.<br />

Sift flour, baking powder and cinnamon/<br />

mixed spice into a large bowl. Loosely toss<br />

through grated carrot using your hands.<br />

In another bowl, whisk egg, vanilla,<br />

yoghurt, banana and butter until well<br />

combined. Stir through feijoa.<br />

Make a well in the dry ingredients and<br />

add the wet ingredients. Stir until just<br />

combined – do not overmix (to ensure a<br />

lighter muffin).<br />

Spoon batter into the muffin tin holes,<br />

dividing equally – you can fill them to<br />

the brim. Bake for 15-20 minutes until<br />

light golden and muffins spring back<br />

when lightly pressed in the centre. Leave<br />

in the tin for 5 minutes before removing<br />

and transferring to a wire rack to cool<br />

completely.<br />

Note: The muffins will keep in an airtight<br />

container in the fridge for up to two days,<br />

or in the freezer for up to two months.<br />

Green Pikelets<br />

Makes 14<br />

These green pikelets are perfect as an<br />

introduction to baby-led weaning with<br />

their soft and mushy texture. Exposing<br />

baby to bitter tastes, such as broccoli and<br />

spinach, without the inclusion of sweeter<br />

vegetables, encourages baby to become<br />

accustomed to more savoury tastes.<br />

Ingredients<br />

½ large head broccoli<br />

1 large handful spinach (tough stalk<br />

removed) or baby spinach<br />

3 free-range eggs<br />

½ cup fortified baby rice cereal<br />

olive oil, for frying<br />

Directions<br />

PHOTO: MATT QUEREE<br />

AND ISABELLA HARREX<br />

Cut broccoli into florets and discard the<br />

stalk. Place in a food processor and blitz<br />

until very finely chopped. You need 1 cup<br />

for this recipe; measure to check you have<br />

the correct amount and return to the food<br />

processor. Add spinach, eggs and baby rice<br />

and process until smooth.<br />

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large cast-iron or<br />

non-stick fry pan on a medium heat.<br />

Cook pikelets in two batches. Add<br />

tablespoons of mixture to the pan and<br />

cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, before<br />

using a fish slice to carefully flip over and<br />

cook on the other side, until set and lightly<br />

browned. Add a little more oil between<br />

batches as needed. Serve warm or cold.<br />

Tip: These will keep for 1-2 days in a<br />

sealed container in the fridge. Alternatively,<br />

you can freeze by storing in a sealed<br />

container or ziplock bag, separating<br />

pikelets between layers of baking paper to<br />

prevent them sticking together.<br />

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />

for farm and rural residents around the<br />

Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />

residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />

customer service for which RDP is known for<br />

in rural communities, through their home<br />

heating diesel.<br />

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />

service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />

and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />

Customer demand has continued to increase<br />

year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />

with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />

equipment.<br />

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />

means they have the latest communication<br />

and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />

the operations team always know where they<br />

are and how far away they are from their next<br />

delivery stop.<br />

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />

equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />

through which the diesel is pumped from<br />

the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />

without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />

you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />

become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Get the balance<br />

right this winter<br />

Enviro Master has been helping Cantabrians<br />

get the balance right when it comes to<br />

choosing the perfect heat pump or air<br />

conditioning system for their home or office<br />

since 2002.<br />

Their team of expert sales people, qualified<br />

electricians, heating and refrigeration<br />

engineers, help to supply and install<br />

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,<br />

and because they have no affiliation with any<br />

one brand, you can be assured their advice<br />

on the benefits and differences between each<br />

product is unbiased.<br />

They will recommend the most energyefficient<br />

and cost-effective system for your<br />

individual situation, and will have you<br />

regulating the heat in your home or office in<br />

no time.<br />

Nowadays, customers are often wanting<br />

whole home solutions to be able to maintain<br />

even temperatures throughout the home<br />

both in Winter and Summer. This can be<br />

achieved by using ducted systems or multi<br />

systems and Enviro Master are experts in<br />

designing, installing and commissioning<br />

these systems.<br />

Help is currently available with a<br />

government subsidy covering 80 per cent of<br />

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.<br />

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi<br />

Homes initiative and is available to Home<br />

owner/occupiers with a Community<br />

Services Card, a SuperGold combo card or<br />

who live in a low-income area as determined<br />

by deciles 8-10 on the New Zealand<br />

Deprivation Index.<br />

The applicant’s home must also have been<br />

built before 2008, have insulation up to code<br />

(insulation subsidies also available) and have<br />

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an<br />

existing operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />

With new regulations now in place for<br />

Landlords to provide heating in rentals,<br />

it’s time to ensure you are meeting the new<br />

standards.<br />

Inadequate heating and ventilation can<br />

lead to mould growth and dampness in your<br />

property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />

and an unhealthy living environment.<br />

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />

output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />

area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />

experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />

software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />

requirements.<br />

To ensure you choose the right system<br />

for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />

Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />

individual situation, offer advice and<br />

answer any questions you may have. This<br />

consultation is at no cost to the customer<br />

and is always provided before a heat pump is<br />

installed.<br />

Anyone wondering about their eligibility<br />

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to<br />

get in touch for details and help with the<br />

application process. To find out more, call<br />

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit<br />

their website www.enviromaster.co.nz<br />

What makes a Great Heat<br />

Transfer System?<br />

There are a number of<br />

Heat Transfer systems on<br />

the market. Smooth-Air<br />

ventilation specialists<br />

offer a range of HTU<br />

Heat Transfer Units<br />

with carefully selected<br />

components to optimise<br />

the system:<br />

They use insulated duct<br />

to transfer the heated air<br />

with as little heat loss as<br />

possible. The fan moves<br />

sufficient air for the<br />

distance and number of<br />

rooms, without being noisy. The diffusers<br />

send the heat to the floor, not to skim the<br />

across the ceilings. All components are<br />

good quality - designed to operate for years<br />

without problems.<br />

Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range<br />

of options: One to four rooms, with or<br />

without thermostat and with a choice<br />

of grilles and diffusers. HTUs improve<br />

energy efficiency in your house, as you are<br />

using excess heat. They have low power<br />

consumption - only 80watts for the three<br />

room system. Circulating air through the<br />

house also reduces the risk of damp.<br />

You can also choose the HTU version<br />

with downjet diffusers, which throw the<br />

warm air downwards to the floor. These<br />

downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to<br />

regulate which room receives the most<br />

warm air.<br />

An average size living room requires 2-4<br />

kw of heating, yet appliances such as log<br />

burners generate heat in the region of 10<br />

-20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -<strong>16</strong>kw of<br />

heat which sits at high level in the heated<br />

room, usually above door level.<br />

Heat transfer units work best where very<br />

hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the<br />

ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate<br />

warm air around the room with no<br />

layering, are not suitable as a heat source<br />

by themselves. However, if you have both<br />

log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer<br />

systems with thermostat can work very<br />

well: The heat pump stops operating once<br />

the heat from the fire has heated the room,<br />

and the heat transfer kicks in above this<br />

point, once there is a layer of hot air at the<br />

ceiling.<br />
