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

CGHS No 1 seed<br />
for volleyball<br />
national champs<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
CHRISTCHURCH Girls’ High’s<br />
senior volleyball side will go into<br />
the secondary schools nationals<br />
as the top seed for Canterbury<br />
after claiming two titles this<br />
month.<br />
CGHS beat St Margaret’s<br />
College to win the Canterbury<br />
championships for the first time<br />
since 2012 on Sunday, just two<br />
weeks after the side took out the<br />
The Mainland shield. The school<br />
had never won both titles in the<br />
same season.<br />
CGHS came back after trailing<br />
St Margaret’s 2-1 on Sunday to<br />
win the final 3-2 (25-20, 21-25,<br />
17-25, 25-20, 15-13).<br />
CGHS’s B team finished eighth<br />
in the division 1 grade, while<br />
the school’s C side were third in<br />
division 2.<br />
Senior A coach Mark Norton<br />
said the results from the<br />
weekend are due to the growth of<br />
volleyball at CGHS.<br />
With about 13,000 high school<br />
girls playing the sport in New<br />
Zealand, he said having three<br />
CGHS teams in Canterbury’s top<br />
13 is a significant achievement.<br />
“We have some momentum<br />
growing in our volleyball<br />
programme, lots of kids are<br />
playing and we are starting to<br />
produce some good results.”<br />
CGHS A are Canterbury’s<br />
top seed after their win at the<br />
weekend and strong results in the<br />
weekly high school competition.<br />
They will also be seeded third<br />
overall in the competition due to<br />
Burnside’s recent success at the<br />
competition in recent years.<br />
But with 88 girls’ teams<br />
expected to compete at nationals,<br />
Norton said it will be difficult to<br />
finish in the top 16.<br />
St Andrew’s College will go<br />
to the national tournament as<br />
Canterbury’s second seed in<br />
the girls’ competition, while St<br />
Margaret’s are third and Burnside<br />
High fourth.<br />
Riccarton High are the top seed<br />
for Canterbury in the boys’ grade,<br />
following their win over Burnside<br />
to take out the Canterbury<br />
championship title on Sunday.<br />
Burnside is the second ranked<br />
boys’ team for the region, with<br />
Shirley Boys’ High in third and<br />
Te Kura Kaupapa Māori O Te<br />
Whānau Tahi fourth.<br />
•The New Zealand<br />
secondary schools national<br />
volleyball championships<br />
start Monday in Palmerston<br />
North.<br />
TOP SEED: CGHS senior A captain Angela Reupena holds up The Mainland shield which they won earlier this month. Below – The team then won the<br />
Canterbury championships for the first time since 2012.<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 />

Diana Isaac Retirement Village Manager<br />
Steve Wakeman has had a long and illustrious<br />
career in the world of hospitality, including a<br />
stint in one of the finest 5-star hotels in the<br />
US, the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco.<br />
Steve’s introduction to Ryman’s hospitality<br />
came after he moved to New Zealand<br />
and, along with his partner, developed a<br />
boutique lodge in Golden Bay.<br />
During their time running the lodge,<br />
residents from Ryman’s Ernest Rutherford<br />
village in Nelson would sometimes visit.<br />
Steve got chatting with them and liked<br />
what he heard.<br />
“I saw how much they loved their village,”<br />
he says.<br />
When they sold the lodge, Steve spent<br />
some time thinking about what he would<br />
like to do next. After his experiences<br />
getting to know the Ernest Rutherford<br />
village residents, he had an inkling that<br />
managing a retirement village would be an<br />
ideal fit for him.<br />
Ryman was his preferred company to<br />
work with because of its great reputation,<br />
so when the village manager role at Ryman’s<br />
Rowena Jackson village in Invercargill<br />
became available, he jumped at the chance.<br />
Steve loved his time there, however<br />
his home and his partner are in North<br />
Canterbury. So, when he was offered<br />
the village manager role at Diana Isaac<br />
village, he was excited to come back north<br />
to Christchurch.<br />
“The beautiful thing about working for<br />
Ryman is each village operates under the<br />
same structure but has its unique look and<br />
feeling and energy,” he says.<br />
Steve has enjoyed getting to know the<br />
unique Diana Isaac community of residents<br />
and team members. The supportive village<br />
team includes Shane Vargas and Anna<br />
Scott, who share the Clinical Manager role.<br />
This gives a great work-life balance to Shane<br />
and Anna who both have young families.<br />
“The residents here, especially the<br />
independent residents, are very energetic,<br />
and I thrive on that. We get along<br />
swimmingly - I’ll go over during happy hour<br />
and have a good chat. The team have been<br />
very welcoming too,” says Steve.<br />
“Our residents pride themselves on being<br />
very friendly, which is really nice. There’s<br />
a real emphasis on that, a real effort to<br />
include everybody.”<br />
In keeping with Ryman’s commitment to<br />
the village’s community, the village centre is<br />
undergoing some exciting upgrades. “The<br />
residents enjoy watching the progress,”<br />
says Steve.<br />
“The whole kitchen’s getting refurbished.<br />
We’re adding a café, which I’m super<br />
excited about. It will be a full sit-down cafe<br />
with indoor-outdoor seating and flow, and<br />
it’ll be well patronised, that’s for sure!”<br />
The assisted living apartment lounge<br />
and dining area also have expansion work<br />
underway. Another bonus for Steve and the<br />
village community is that Diana Isaac village<br />
gets many opportunities to trial new initiatives<br />
that will improve the lives of residents.<br />
One such initiative is Home Care, a suite<br />
of optional care and hospitality services<br />
such as housekeeping, meals, or assistance<br />
with showering and medication, offered in<br />

PUTTING ON THE RITZ AT DIANA ISAAC RETIREMENT VILLAGE<br />
Village Manager, Steve Wakeman<br />
the comfort of a resident’s own townhouse<br />
or independent apartment.<br />
“It’s a great choice for people that aren’t<br />
ready to move into a serviced apartment<br />
or into resthome care. But they might need<br />
a little bit of help, it might even be a shortterm<br />
thing where they had surgery and<br />
need help for a few weeks. With Home Care<br />
we can do that right in their apartment or<br />
townhouse in the village, where they feel<br />
most comfortable.”<br />
Assistance with housekeeping has been<br />
a popular choice, and some residents are<br />
also getting care services which help them<br />
to stay independent for longer and make<br />
the most of life at the village.<br />
“It’s a great, fun, vibrant village to live in,”<br />
says Steve.<br />
It can be seen in the beautiful gardens, in<br />
the activities and social opportunities for<br />
residents, and in team members supporting<br />
residents and each other.<br />
“When people come here, we are<br />
welcoming, and we take the time to get to<br />
know them,” says Steve.<br />
“At Ryman we ask, ‘What is the measure<br />
of a full life? How can we help residents to<br />
enjoy a full life?’ That’s really important.”<br />
DIANA ISAAC VILLAGE<br />
There’s something for everyone with independent living in a<br />
townhouse or apartment, assisted-living in a serviced apartment,<br />
and resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.<br />

RAY WHITE PAPANUI<br />
Ray White Papanui welcomes<br />
two new experienced agents.<br />
Featured properties<br />
At Ray White Papanui, we are excited to welcome two experienced Licensee<br />
Salespeople to our growing team. Bron Poole and Phil Mac have joined our office<br />
this month, both with previous real estate experience under the Ray White brand.<br />
Bron’s experience is<br />
underpinned by her<br />
previous real estate<br />
career in Central Otago<br />
and prior to that a<br />
corporate career in human<br />
resources in Malaysia and management<br />
in the private education section in Tokyo,<br />
Japan. Bron has also owned a yoga<br />
studio and holistic healing centre and<br />
she enjoys connecting with her clients at<br />
an authentic level and really tailoring her<br />
service to their specific needs.<br />
Bron is passionate about Real estate<br />
as it gives her an opportunity to work<br />
within the community helping clients to<br />
reach their home selling and purchasing<br />
goals.<br />
Hear what Bron’s previous clients have<br />
to say about her<br />
Bron sold my Mothers<br />
unit. She was great to<br />
deal with, very pleasant,<br />
positive and happy<br />
to go the extra mile<br />
when required. I would<br />
definitely recommend<br />
Bron to sell your place.<br />
Bron is amazing! Very<br />
easy to deal with. I<br />
have recently purchased<br />
the house and Bron<br />
kept me fully informed<br />
throughout the whole<br />
process and has been<br />
very helpful. She is<br />
always available for<br />
questions and advice. I<br />
would highly recommend<br />
using her as a real estate<br />
agent.<br />
Phil believes the three<br />
most important things in<br />
life are your health, your<br />
family, and your largest<br />
asset which is usually,<br />
one’s property. Phil Mac is<br />
very passionate about helping people. He<br />
has helped countless number of people<br />
with improving their health and was<br />
very successful in that department. He<br />
is also very involved with his family and<br />
continues to strive, providing them with the<br />
best in life. His current goal is to help his<br />
community and people with their largest<br />
asset (property) and get them the best<br />
result so they can move forward with their<br />
lives.<br />
His success comes from focusing on his<br />
client’s needs, dedicating 100% of himself,<br />
and utilising his skills, knowledge and<br />
marketing methods to make a fantastic<br />
sale. With the Superior Marketing of Ray<br />
White, plus his dedicated work ethic, Phil<br />
Mac gets you RESULTS!<br />
Hear what Phil’s previous clients have to<br />
say about him<br />
Phil goes the extra mile<br />
when selling your property.<br />
Amazing service. I will be<br />
recommending him and also<br />
using him in future sales.<br />
Phil is an excellent<br />
communicator and is<br />
very thorough in his<br />
procedures. He performed<br />
extremely well considering<br />
the changes in the<br />
marketing environment, ie.<br />
Government policy, banks<br />
etc. It was a challenging sell<br />
and we are very pleased.<br />
