YOUNG DAD’S CANCER BATTLE<br />
‘I can’t give up, I just want<br />
to see my kids grow up’<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
TIME IS fast running out for<br />
Dan Morbey as the 36-year-old<br />
battles stage four bowel cancer.<br />
The father of two young<br />
children was recently given<br />
a prognosis of three-tosix<br />
months to live by his<br />
specialists. He and his family<br />
are hoping a Givealittle page<br />
will help raise critical funds for<br />
treatment options.<br />
The family – Morbey and<br />
partner Sarah Noble along<br />
with Dylan, 4, and Alyssa, 2 –<br />
found out Morbey had cancer<br />
in September last year, but it<br />
wasn’t until December they<br />
received the full diagnosis.<br />
“Total shock” was the<br />
family’s reaction when they<br />
learned Morbey had been<br />
diagnosed with Metastatic<br />
Cecal Adenocarcinoma with<br />
Peritoneal Disease, stage four<br />
bowel cancer.<br />
“I think we were in shock for<br />
three or four weeks,” Noble said.<br />
At the time of the diagnosis,<br />
his specialist told Morbey<br />
his cancer was incurable,<br />
with no option for surgery,<br />
chemotherapy or radiation<br />
because of how far the cancer<br />
had spread.<br />

Brummie Dan’s fight to beat cancer<br />
• From page 1<br />
However, using the funds<br />
raised, the family is trying to get<br />
as much equipment as they can<br />
to help Morbey’s treatment.<br />
“Overseas they have cancer<br />
treatment centres, and we are<br />
trying to create one in our home,<br />
so we are buying things like<br />
infrared sauna blankets, red<br />
light therapy and ozone therapy,”<br />
Morbey said.<br />
The equipment needed can<br />
cost thousands of dollars. For<br />
example, for an infrared sauna<br />
blanket, which can relieve stress,<br />
help with joint pain, lower<br />
blood pressure and improve<br />
circulation, prices can range<br />
anywhere from a few hundred to<br />
thousands of dollars.<br />
“We have to make radical<br />
changes and can’t just hope,”<br />
Noble said.<br />
So far, they have used about<br />
$20,000 of the $24,000 raised to<br />
cover extra tests and treatments<br />
that are not funded and to pay<br />
for a trip for them to return to<br />
the UK for Morbey to see his<br />
family in May.<br />
Morbey was just about to get<br />
his food truck business off the<br />
ground, which he had been<br />
struggling with for three years<br />
with ongoing Covid restrictions.<br />
He had also set up a food truck<br />
market in Rolleston, which<br />
was tracking well. Both were<br />
expected to take off in summer,<br />
but never had the opportunity.<br />
“My career as a food truck<br />
vendor never really got a<br />
chance,” he said.<br />
Morbey, originally from<br />
Birmingham in the United<br />
Kingdom, met Noble when she<br />
was on her OE and decided to<br />
follow her back to New Zealand<br />
in 2017, moving around the<br />
country and eventually settling<br />
in Rolleston as renters at the end<br />
of 2021.<br />
Noble has also had to give up<br />
her job to become a full-time<br />
carer for Morbey as his condition<br />
worsens, and to look after the<br />
kids.<br />
“Up until six weeks ago I<br />
was able to help out around the<br />
house and do the cleaning and<br />
groceries, but now I’m just too<br />
tired,” Morbey said.<br />
“It can be mentally challenging<br />
for me not to be able to play with<br />
my kids.<br />
“I also have to watch out when<br />
they get sick to make sure they<br />
don’t pass it on, a cold he (Dylan)<br />
brought home put me on my arse<br />
for two weeks.”<br />
While the family is receiving<br />
some support, they feel that the<br />
system has failed with them<br />
having to battle for extra<br />
care.<br />
“When I injured my back, I got<br />
more support from ACC than I<br />
do now I have stage four cancer,”<br />
Morbey said.<br />
“I think it should be easier<br />
for people in my position that<br />
once you’re diagnosed it starts a<br />
process of support.”<br />
Said Noble: “It just adds<br />
stress.”<br />
The couple said they are<br />
incredibly grateful for all<br />
the support from the local<br />
community, such as dropping off<br />
meals or mowing lawns for free.<br />
“Every little bit helps make a<br />
difference,” Noble said.<br />

Christchurch’s housing and business development rules are changing<br />
Ōtautahi Christchurch’s population is growing. Over the next 30 years, it’s predicted we’ll need more than 40,000<br />
new houses to ensure everyone has a place to live, and Christchurch City Council is planning for that now.<br />
Our growth challenge<br />
We need to provide for the growth of housing and<br />
business in the best locations in Christchurch, to<br />
help address issues like climate change and housing<br />
shortage. This means more houses where there’s good<br />
access to shops, services, work, school, public transport<br />
networks and infrastructure.<br />
Where there’s good reason, we also need to ensure<br />
development remains restricted or limited to protect<br />
and maintain areas of value.<br />
These changes won’t happen overnight. Over time the<br />
look and feel of the city will change, and we want to plan<br />
for that and keep what people value.<br />
A new direction in urban planning<br />
The planning rules have changed for New Zealand’s main urban areas. We need to<br />
follow the new national direction to allow greater housing and business development<br />
within Christchurch’s existing urban footprint.<br />
There are new national standards for multi-unit housing developments called the<br />
Medium-Density Residential Standards (MDRS). These aim to make it easier for denser<br />
housing developments to happen. Once they come into effect, up to three dwellings<br />
of up to three storeys can be developed on a property in Christchurch without needing<br />
to apply for a resource consent, as long as all other rules have been met.<br />
Not all parts of Christchurch are suitable for the MDRS, so we’re proposing special<br />
rules, called Qualifying Matters, apply to recognise heritage and cultural features, to<br />
protect major utility, infrastructure, and people in areas vulnerable to natural hazards,<br />
among other things.<br />
What we’re proposing<br />
We’re proposing important changes to the city’s planning rulebook, the District Plan, via two plan changes – the Housing and Business Choice<br />
Plan Change (Plan Change 14), and the Heritage Plan Change (Plan Change 13). Both plan changes were formally notified on 17 <strong>March</strong> 20<strong>23</strong>.<br />
Replacing some existing residential zones in<br />
the city with two new ones – a Medium-Density<br />
Residential Zone and a High-Density Residential<br />
Zone. The Medium-Density zone is the baseline for<br />
increasing housing in our city. The High-Density<br />
zone would allow apartment buildings and multistorey<br />
flats in the central city.<br />
Increased height limits for residential and<br />
commercial buildings in and around the<br />
central city, suburban centres and along public<br />
transport routes, as well as enabling residential<br />
development in some industrial areas around the<br />
central city and larger suburban centres.<br />
Special rules (Qualifying Matters) to limit greater<br />
development of housing and business under<br />
the MDRS, in order to better reflect our city’s<br />
environment and climate. One proposes changing<br />
recession planes to increase sunlight access from<br />
what would be possible under the MDRS. This<br />
applies citywide and means the MDRS won’t come<br />
into effect for Christchurch until 2024, when Plan<br />
Change 14 is decided on.<br />
Heritage that should be protected, with a number<br />
of new buildings, items and interiors added to<br />
the Schedule of Significant Historic Heritage.<br />
Have your say on our growing city<br />
You can make a submission on the Housing and Business Choice Plan Change (Plan Change 14) and Heritage Plan<br />
Change (Plan Change 13) until 3 May 20<strong>23</strong>. Detailed information about the plan changes and everything you<br />
need to make your submission is available at ccc.govt.nz/growingcity

CHAMPIONS: Riccarton High School’s senior A boys’ volleyball side head into<br />
next weeks nationals as the top-seeded team after they won the Canterbury<br />
secondary schools championship over the weekend, and The Mainland shield<br />
two weeks ago. <br />
Riccarton High makes it a clean sweep<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
RICCARTON High School’s<br />
senior boys’ volleyball side will<br />
go into the secondary school<br />
national championships as<br />
Canterbury’s top seed off the<br />
back of a dominant season.<br />
Riccarton’s senior A team<br />
won the division 1 grade at the<br />
Canterbury championships last<br />
weekend – the fourth regional<br />
tournament win for a Riccarton<br />
team this season.<br />
Coach Chris Nielson said no<br />
Canterbury school has ever won<br />
both the senior Canterbury and<br />
Mainland championships along<br />
with the junior editions of both<br />
these tournaments in the same<br />
season.<br />
“What makes this special is<br />
the Riccarton boys’ volleyball<br />
currently hold all of the trophies<br />
for school volleyball in the South<br />
Island,” Neilson said.<br />
“In the history of these<br />
tournaments (from what is<br />
engraved on the trophies) no<br />
other school in Canterbury has<br />
achieved this. This is a very<br />
significant achievement for us.”<br />
At the senior Canterbury<br />
championships over the<br />
weekend, Riccarton dropped<br />
just two sets. The side came up<br />
against Burnside in the final, and<br />
won in three sets (25-14, 25-<strong>23</strong>,<br />
25-17). Shirley Boys’ finished<br />
third.<br />
Riccarton will travel to next<br />
week’s national tournament in<br />
Palmerston North as the top<br />
seed from Canterbury.<br />
“For us to perform at this level<br />
requires a big commitment in<br />
time,” Neilson said.<br />
The long serving Riccarton<br />
teacher said the combination of<br />
former coach Roger Bleyendaal,<br />
alongside former and current<br />
students Joe Baxter, Isaac Weir<br />
and Spencer Lindsay, has helped<br />
Riccarton volleyball to where it<br />
is now.<br />
“The players buy into the<br />
culture of our volleyball<br />
teams as this underpins our<br />
achievements,” he said.<br />
“This has become part of our<br />
training and has been crucial in<br />
our success. Personal traits of<br />
grit, tenacity and perseverance<br />
are the qualities we aim to<br />
develop in our young players.”<br />
Christchurch Girls’ have<br />
followed up their win at the<br />
Mainland championships<br />
two weeks ago by taking out<br />
the senior girls’ Canterbury<br />
championship for the first time<br />
since 2012.<br />
Like Riccarton, they completed<br />
the double title win and will be<br />
top seed – for the girls’ grade – at<br />
the nationals.<br />
The New Zealand secondary<br />
schools national volleyball<br />
championships start on Monday<br />
in Palmerston North.<br />

Les Mills City2Surf<br />
Thousands of runners and walkers flooded the streets for the city’s most iconic fun run – the<br />
Les Mills City2Surf. The event went back to the future on Sunday, returning to its original<br />
pre-quake course. The 12km run started in the central city and the 6km at Avon Park. The<br />
course winded through the east to Rawhiti Domain where prizes and certificates were<br />
presented. Star Media regional manager Steve McCaughan congratulated everyone who<br />
took part in the fun run. “The 20<strong>23</strong> Les Mills City2Surf was a resounding success and the<br />
weather was fantastic.” McCaughan also thanked the sponsors – Les Mills, Sport Canterbury,<br />

Mix it up with tasty vegetarian dinners<br />
Nutritional therapist<br />
Amelia Freer’s new<br />
book The Organised<br />
Cook not only has<br />
recipes but also plenty<br />
of advice and practical<br />
tips to turn people<br />
from frazzled and<br />
frustrated into calm<br />
and organised in the<br />
kitchen<br />
One-pot green dahl<br />
This is a one-pot wonder that<br />
we often make for Sunday night<br />
dinner at our house. Nourishing<br />
and wholesome, it really sets<br />
us up for the week ahead. I’ve<br />
added extra greens here with<br />
some Swiss chard, but you could<br />
easily swap this for spinach,<br />
beet leaves or even a couple of<br />
handfuls of peas, if that’s what<br />
you have to hand. Gluten free,<br />
dairy free, vegan/vegetarian.<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 shallot or ½ medium white<br />
onion, sliced<br />
1 Tbsp coconut oil or mild olive<br />
oil<br />
1 large piece of fresh root ginger<br />
(about 3cm), peeled and grated<br />
2 cloves garlic, grated<br />
1 green chilli, deseeded and<br />
chopped<br />
1 tsp mustard seeds<br />
1 tsp ground coriander<br />
1 tsp ground cumin<br />
1 tsp ground turmeric<br />
300g dried black/brown lentils<br />
1 × 400ml tin of coconut milk<br />
200g Swiss chard, washed and<br />
roughly chopped<br />
Natural or dairy-free yoghurt,<br />
to serve (optional)<br />
Fresh coriander, chopped<br />
Directions<br />
In a shallow saucepan, fry the<br />
shallot or onion in the coconut<br />
or olive oil over a medium heat<br />
for 5 minutes, until it starts to<br />
soften and caramelise, stirring<br />
occasionally.<br />
Add the ginger, garlic and<br />
chilli and all of the spices, and<br />
fry for another 5 minutes, stirring<br />
often.<br />
Mix in the lentils, coconut<br />
milk and 650ml water.<br />
Bring to the boil, reduce the<br />
heat and simmer for about 40–50<br />
minutes, stirring occasionally,<br />
until the lentils are soft and the<br />
water absorbed. Add the Swiss<br />
chard and cook for 5 minutes,<br />
until wilted.<br />
Season to taste with salt<br />
and pepper. Serve warm with<br />
a little yoghurt (or dairy-free<br />
alternative) swirled through,<br />
if you fancy, and coriander<br />
sprinkled on top.<br />
Best black bean burger<br />
This is definitely the best bean<br />
burger I have made and I’ve<br />
made a lot. The recipe was<br />
inspired by a wonderful bean<br />
burger on Sally’s Baking<br />
Addiction blog, but I’ve reduced<br />
the number of ingredients.<br />
Vegetarian, gluten free.<br />
Makes 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 × 400g tins of black beans,<br />
drained and rinsed<br />
1 Tbsp olive oil, plus extra for<br />
drizzling<br />
½ red pepper, deseeded and<br />
roughly chopped<br />
1 shallot or small onion,<br />
roughly chopped<br />
220g mushrooms, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
2 cloves garlic, crushed<br />
1½ tsp ground cumin<br />
½ tsp sweet smoked paprika<br />
½ tsp dried mixed herbs<br />
65g breadcrumbs (use glutenfree,<br />
if necessary)<br />
80g feta, crumbled<br />
1 large free-range egg<br />
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 150degC<br />
fan/170degC.<br />
Spread the drained beans on<br />
a baking tray and bake for 15<br />
minutes until slightly dried out.<br />
(This is important.) Add the oil<br />
to a medium-large saucepan<br />
over a medium-high heat. Add<br />
the pepper, shallot or onion,<br />
mushrooms, garlic, cumin,<br />
paprika and mixed herbs and<br />
saute for around 8 minutes until<br />
soft. Remove from the heat and<br />
set aside to cool a little.<br />
Place the sauteed vegetables<br />
and all the remaining<br />
ingredients, including a good<br />
pinch of salt and grind of pepper,<br />
in a large food processor and<br />
pulse until combined, leaving<br />
some larger chunks.<br />
Using wet hands (as it helps<br />
prevent the mixture sticking),<br />
shape the mixture into 6 patties<br />
(each roughly 8–10cm). Line<br />
a baking tray with parchment<br />
paper and place the patties on<br />
top. Put the tray in the fridge<br />
for a couple of hours, to help the<br />
patties stick together.<br />
Preheat the grill to a medium<br />
heat or the oven to 190degC fan<br />
210degC.<br />
If grilling, drizzle a little<br />
olive oil over the patties and<br />
place them under the grill for 8<br />
minutes. Turn them over, then<br />
grill for 4 minutes on the other<br />
side, checking every few minutes<br />
as every grill is different. They<br />
should look a little golden.<br />
If baking, drizzle a little olive<br />
oil over the patties, then bake in<br />
the oven for 10 minutes.<br />
Flip them over and bake for a<br />
further 10 minutes.<br />

St thomaS of canterbury college<br />
rowing SquadS 20<strong>23</strong><br />
Rowing has been offered at<br />
St Thomas of Canterbury College<br />
since 1999 for boys Years 9-13,<br />
and since 2016 for the Year 7 and<br />
8 development squad which allow<br />
the younger boys at the college a<br />
chance to give it a go.<br />
The rowing season is well<br />
underway for the squad, which<br />
consists of 31 young men plus<br />
passionate coaches who are busy<br />
training and competing at regattas<br />
up and down the country.<br />
The Selwyn River remains the<br />
training base. Our rowers are<br />
committed, hard-working young<br />
men who spend the bulk of their<br />
week training, outside of school<br />
hours, with our seniors training at<br />
least 8 times a week!<br />
Historically, rowing has been, and<br />
in some countries still is, a sport<br />
for the elite. Our school, and our<br />
Rowing Committee prides<br />
itself in minimising inequities<br />
that would prevent our boys<br />
from rowing and tries to make<br />
it as accessible as possible,<br />
due to the proven benefits<br />
this sport has for young men.<br />
Rowing increases academic<br />
achievement, improves<br />
mental and physical health,<br />
encourages a strong work<br />
ethic both individually and<br />
in a team, and builds lifelong<br />
friendships.<br />
The 2022/<strong>23</strong> season is<br />
coming to an end with<br />
the most recent regattas<br />
being the Canterbury<br />
Junior Regatta at Lake<br />
Hood and the Meridian South<br />
Island Secondary School Champs<br />
at Lake Ruataniwha (Twizel). A<br />
smaller squad will then represent<br />
the school at Lake Karapiro<br />
(Cambridge) for the NZ Secondary<br />
School Championships (Maadi<br />
Cup), the largest school sporting<br />
event in the Southern Hemisphere.<br />
