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 />

We’re planning for our<br />

growing city<br />

Find out what this means<br />

for your property<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 />

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 />
