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 />

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 />
