Conquering the
Pipeline
of Pain
TOUGH: Amy Whitehead crossed the Pipeline of Pain on the Port Hills for the eighth time on Saturday to raise money for Dementia Canterbury.
• By Briar Allen
AMY WHITEHEAD is on an
adventure for dementia, running
the Pipeline of Pain on the
Port Hills to raise awareness
and money for people with the
illness.
Whitehead, 34, ran the 5.2km
loop route, which starts next to
the Bridle Path, for the eighth
time on Saturday to raise funds
for Dementia Canterbury.
She plans to complete the route
at least 78 times by December.
That’s a total of 405.6km over the
whole year.
Whitehead said she is doing
the challenge in memory of her
aunt Joanie Sommerville who
lost her battle with dementia in
January last year.
Said Whitehead: “She was a
super warm, bubbly, and incredibly
lovely person and it was
pretty hard to watch her personality
change.”
Whitehead has raised about
$3500 to date, which will go towards
helping dementia patients
and their families.

for patients and families and I
found it difficult in knowing how
to help my aunt and uncle, but
they provide care, information
and activities that keep them
engaged.”

Red Cross meals need more
wheels to meet demand
• By Briar Allen
THERE IS an urgent need
for Meals on Wheels delivery
drivers in Hornby and Halswell.
The programme, run by Red
Cross New Zealand, involves
volunteers delivering hot lunches
to people who have a disability
or ongoing health problems that
make it difficult for them to
prepare a meal for themselves.
The programme has been
running since the 1950s.
Programme co-ordinator
Janine Shepherd said the
number of deliveries has been
growing.
“There is just more of a need
in these areas, and we urgently
need more drivers to be able to
cope,” she said.
Shepherd said people come
and go within the role due to
other commitments or because
they are getting older.
“It is a constant thing to keep
getting new drivers on board.
We would like to attract some
younger people as well, like
maybe a mother with kids at
school as it is only a few hours in
the morning.”
She said people who wish
to volunteer need to have a
New Zealand driver’s licence,
a reliable car and be willing to
undergo a police check.
“The role is only Monday
to Friday from 10.45am to
1pm at the latest. You don’t
have to do it every day
and our volunteers get a
sense of satisfaction being
able to give back to the
community.”
Team leader Pip Mabin
said the programme is huge
and really important.
Pip
Mabin
“It helps people maintain their
independence and it
helps them to be able
to continue to live in
their own homes and
communities,” she
said.
Mabin said drivers
are delighted to be able
to contribute to people
maintaining their
independence.
“It is an act of

kindness and the drivers enjoy
the small social interactions just
as much as the meal recipients
appreciate it.”

Bid to stop ‘harmful cat feeder’
• By Anastasia Hedge
RESIDENTS IN Papanui,
Bryndwr and Bishopdale are
calling for intervention from
police, SPCA and their local
MP to stop a woman they say is
harming their pets.
The group of cat owners have
tracked the woman they have
called the “local harmful cat
feeder”.
Seven-year-old cat Tabs is
now on steroids after a case
of vomiting left him severely
underweight in December.
He was ordered onto a strict
diet, but owner Sara said it
was proving tough when a cat
feeder had been dishing out
questionable cat food in her
neighbourhood for years.
“I know she’s fed my cat
potato chips because he was
vomiting daily. We had to put
him in the bathroom at night
because it’s easier to clean up.
Just last week, he vomited up
crinkle cuts and we don’t have
crinkle cut chips in the house.”
Videos and photos show a
woman carrying bags of food
and putting it on leaves or junk
mail outside and inside people’s
properties. She has also been
seen grooming cats with a brush
and in one video appearing to
take a cat from underneath a
fence.
Sara said she had asked the
woman to stop feeding her cat,
but she continued to put food
out every day.
FOUL FOOD: Seven-year-old cat Tabs is on steroids after a case of vomiting left him
severely underweight in December. He may have been eating the food scattered
outside and inside people’s properties.
“I usually see her on my street
between 10am and 11am so I put
him out after 2pm and someone
else’s poor cat has eaten up the
food.”
Another resident, Sharmaine,
said her cat, Lucky, ate food the
woman had laid out and on the
same day became very unwell
and had to be put down.
She said she could not prove
the woman’s food caused him to
get sick, but she was not taking
any chances with her other cat
Phoebe.
“She’ll stand outside and
click her fingers, like ‘come on’,
trying to encourage my other
cat outside and I look at her
like ‘don’t even think about it’. I
can’t even say anything, without
being so, not hateful, just very
angry and frustrated.”
Kate, like Sara and Sharmaine,
said she had asked the woman
repeatedly to stop feeding her
cat Archie, who she noticed
had put on significant weight,
despite being fed just once a day.
She said she had laid a
complaint with police after she
confronted the woman, who was
on her property on Saturday.
“I told her to leave and I said
I’m going to keep standing here
until you leave, until you stop
feeding my cat and she came
right up to me and I said ‘don’t
get physical with me love, if you
do that you’re going to jail’.”
Dozens of cat owners have
shared their run-ins with the
woman and stories of their
sick cats on the Facebook page
named Stop the Local Harmful
Cat Feeder.
A petition has gathered more
than 430 signatures calling
for police, SPCA and Ilam MP
Sarah Pallett to act.
Police confirmed they
are assessing reports of
the woman’s behaviour
for criminality. A police
spokesperson said any concerns
about behaviour in the area
should be reported.
SPCA scientific officer Alison
Vaughan was aware of the
situation and the SPCA has been
working with other agencies on
the case.
Bishopdale Medical Centre
had put up a sign addressed
to the cat feeder, asking
them to stop feeding cats on
their property because it was
attracting flies and they were
sick of cleaning it up.
City council staff had
followed up on complaints from
residents, and the woman was
spoken to but her actions were
not deemed an offense under the
Litter Act. –RNZ

She has been in the head of

about sustainability and growing
natives to sell on to companies that
are contributing to the restoration
of our natural environment in NZ.
That really motivates me.”

FUN TIMES:
The Kereru
V team take
a leap at
Christchurch
Netball
Centre’s
Rainbow
tournament
on Sunday.
Netballers jump for joy
A RECORD number of teams
descended on Hagley Park over
the weekend for Christchurch
Netball Centre’s annual junior
Rainbow tournament.
Seventy-four teams of primary
school-aged children across
Canterbury participated in the
popular event, designed to be
a fun, supportive environment
where children gain skills,
confidence and a love for the
game. This year’s tournament
broke the record for the number
of teams entered.
Said CNC general manager
Tom Houghton: “Our
responsibility is to grow a love
for the game of netball across
Ōtautahi and beyond.”
Numerous coaches, umpires,
whistlers and officials help make
the event possible. It has become
known for its spectacular fancy
dress and great community
atmosphere.
BON APPETIT: Teams from across Canterbury competed
in a series of games while dressed up.
Run to raise
money for
dementia
•From page 1
Whitehead said her
uncle decided to raise funds
for dementia by cycling the
length of New Zealand and she
wanted to do something similar
to help.
“I got the idea to do this
challenge from a podcast I was
listening to in 2021 where a
woman in Auckland picked a 5km
loop track and added an extra
5km each month.
“I thought it was really cool,
although I haven’t really thought
through what it entails.”
Whitehead said her fundraising
journey parallels what dementia
patients go through.
“When I started this in January
it was relatively easy but has
become progressively harder and I
have had to have people help me.
“This is what it is like for
dementia patients, there are small
and subtle changes and as they
go further on their journey it
becomes harder and the patient
and the family needs more
support.”

Moss steps up to
COMMUNITY: Greater Hornby Residents Association chair
Kim Moss said she has always been community-minded.
• By Briar Allen
GREATER HORNBY Residents
Association’s new chair Kim
Moss has stepped into the role
with ease.
Moss, 31, took over from Marc
Duff in June who resigned after
five years as chairman.
She said she has always been
about helping the little person
and giving a voice to the little
things that may not mean a
whole lot to other people but will
to others.
“I remember I met with one
resident who tripped on a tree
root that had come up through
the footpath and she broke her
nose.
“So I got the footpath sorted
out to make it smoother.
“I have volunteered at
community lunches, I have been
in Rotary for about 10 years, I
like to make sure the city council
is keeping footpaths and roads
safe for residents.
“It is about supporting them.”
Moss and her husband
Quentin have a daughter Ali, 5,
and son Jack, 3. She stood as The
People’s Choice candidate for the
city council’s Hornby Ward in
October’s local body elections.
But she lost to Mark Peters, who
won with 3069 votes compared
to Moss’ 2348 votes.
“I ran in the local body
elections and obviously I was

Riccarton Community Board chair Mike Mora, Wigram MP
Megan Woods and Kim Moss at Denton Park.
unsuccessful.
“But if it was meant to be it
would’ve been. It was no skin
taken off of my nose, people got
to know me better and I made
more connections. I also learnt a
lot through the process.”
Moss is currently a union
organiser for the Public Services
Association trade union. She has
worked for the PSA for nearly
eight years.
“During the day I am a union
organiser and I love it, I like
making sure voices are heard,”
she said.
Moss said when she was
studying for her Bachelor of
Science at Canterbury University
she worked for another union,
the New Zealand Educational
Institute, and found she enjoyed
the role.
She said she learnt about
the Greater Hornby Residents
Association when she was
campaigning to be a city
councillor and decided to join,
especially as she still wanted to
be involved with the community
even if she was not an elected
city council member.

represent Hornby residents
“They talked about how they
needed someone to take the
lead on fundraising for the
hydrotherapy pool and I said I
was happy to do it for them.”
Moss had been a member of
the association for less than
year when her predecessor Marc
Duff resigned from the role after
having been chair for the past
five years.
“I knew I had the skills for the
role and I thought: ‘Why not?’
“And it is a great way to
address what is needed for the
community.
“The association is a really
great team and they have made
things easier.”
Moss said the hydrotherapy
pool is one of its biggest projects
and there is a lot going on behind
the scenes.
The hydrotherapy pool is to
be a part of the new Matatiki
Hornby Centre which is set to
open in early 2024.
Both the association and
Hornby Rotary, along with the
city council, have been leading
the way to fundraise for it.
Currently about $710,000 has
been raised to go towards the
pool with the aim being $1.4
million.
A new fundraiser, buy a
bubble, allows people to buy a
decorative bubble that will go
on the wall of the building with
their name on it.
“The buy a bubble fundraiser
allows people to get recognition
for helping make a difference
within their community. We
couldn’t do what we do without
the help of locals.”
She said the association has a
few events coming up, including
a disco, quiz night, a can drive,
and a pool party.
Along with its monthly
meetings, the planned Splash
for Cash event will also help
fundraise for the hydrotherapy
pool.
She said one of the key things
she wants to do is future-proof
the association and make sure
it stays alive by getting in fresh
blood to bring in new ideas.
“I have been told we do more
FAMILY: Kim Moss with her
husband Quentin Moss and
their two children Jack and
Ali.
than most residents’ associations
do.
“It shows we are paving the
way of where associations should
be.
“Succession planning is key
– you see other clubs who are
dwindling but have not planned
to be able to get fresh blood in.”
Moss said a huge issue at the
moment is crime and safety. The
association aims to make people
feel safer in their community
by bringing them together and
ensuring everyone knows which
doors they can knock on if they
need help.
“People talk about how
you used to know your local
constable, you used to know
your neighbours, not just the
ones next to you, but everyone
on your street.
“We want to bring everyone
together again.
“We are asking ourselves what
we can do to bring everyone
together.”
Earlier this year, Hornby
residents were told they were not
going to get anymore police as
there was a greater need for them
in other parts of the city. It came
after the association presented
police with a petition signed by
about 1000 people asking for the
station to be manned 24/7.
Moss said the police decision
was “extremely disappointing”
and residents felt like they had
not been heard.
“The police presented us with
data that showed x, y, and z so
the strong message we are trying
to get out there is to report
everything because with the
police using statistics and data,
we need to give them the data
and show them,” she said.
Moss said going forward
the association will continue
to see what it can do for the
community.
“We are always asking
ourselves what we can do.
“We want to make sure
people know which community
groups they can go to, get more
residents volunteering with the
community patrol and what
else the city council can do,
like installing better lighting in
parks.”

Nissan X-Trail a luxurious ground-breaker
NISSAN’S 4 TH generation X-Trail
is a ground-breaker. It’s the first
sold here with hybrid technology
and the first SUV produced
under the joint Nissan, Renault
and Mitsubishi Automotive
Alliance.
This latest X-Trail is touted as
Nissan’s most technologically
advanced SUV and is unique in
the world of hybrids, offering an
EV-like drive experience without
ever needing a plug or fast charger.
Unlike conventional hybrids,
Nissan’s e-POWER technology
delivers a constant EV-like drive,
thanks to the driven wheels being
powered only by the electric
motors.
Both the exterior and interior
of the new X-Trail are smart,
modern and versatile.
The flagship $66,990 model
Ti-L e-POWER with e-4ORCE,
supplied for this road test, is the
Motoring with Bob Nettleton
real luxury SUV deal – and it
needs to be with that hefty price
tag.
It includes a panoramic sunroof,
tri-zone climate controlled
air conditioning, heated steering
wheel, 10-speaker sound system,
and hands-free opening of the
rear tailgate.
Its high-output 2.1kWh battery
is teamed with a turbo-petrol
engine, power generator, inverter
and twin electric motors, with
a combined system output of
157kW. Charging the electric
motors is the sole mission of a
1.5-litre turbo-charged threecylinder
petrol engine, and the
wheels are exclusively driven by
the electric motor. Pure electric
motor drive means there is none
of the power lag of an internal
combustion engine or traditional
hybrid.
Thanks to the addition of a
Incorporating
best motorbuys
www.drivesouth.co.nz
rear motor, the powerful dual
e-motor system offers nippy acceleration,
with a zero-100km/h
time of just 7.0 seconds. The
e-4ORCE twin-motor all-wheeldrive
system delivers reassuring
traction in damp, muddy and
icy conditions. It’s smoother and
livelier to drive that most hybrids
– and about as close as you will
get to full EV driving in a vehicle
that isn’t EV, but does a great job
of impersonating one.
A new-generation CVT (Constant
Variable Transmission)
delivers better fuel economy
thanks to improved ratio coverage.
Several upgrades ensure a
big step up from the lethargic
and indifferent CVT used in the
previous model.
For a mid-sized SUV this one
is roomier than most with and
load space to burn, with a generous
sized boot.
Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility
suite of active safety tech has
greater capability. Standard
functions include Predictive
Forward Collision Warning,
Intelligent Cruise Control with
Traffic Sign Recognition, Lane
Departure Warning and Rear
Auto Emergency Braking with
pedestrian and cyclist detection
technology. An Acoustic Vehicle
Alerting System on e-POWER
models lets other road users
know an electrified vehicle is
approaching, when the X-Trail
is operating in near-silent EV
Mode.
The advanced multi-link rear
suspension excels when under
siege from sudden direction
changes, or different road cambers.
The suspension and steering
establishes greater interactions
between driver, vehicle and
road, which make this vehicle a
more enjoyable drive than any
other X-Trail.
This isn’t a serious off-road
vehicle. If you wanting that then
you’ll need to look elsewhere.
However, it’s perfect for
powering its way up ski field
access roads or reasonably well
formed gravel tracks, but its
average ground clearance make
excursion over more demanding
terrain risky.

GIVE YOUR EARS A TREAT!
Come and meet the highest rated hearing care provider in Christchurch
In today’s 24/7 instant access, throwaway society, it is good to
know that there are still places where you can get good old
fashioned service with a big smile. And, when it comes to your
ears and hearing it pays to know you are in hands which have
been trusted by thousands of people in the local area.
Hear Again at the Hub in Hornby are the professional team
who make delighting their clients the very top of their agenda.
From a simple removal of earwax to the highly specialized
fitting of the very latest hearing instruments, the 100% NZ
owned team are never satisfied until you are. Their long list of
5 star Google reviews speak for themselves.
NZAS Audiometrist Neil Hardisty is frequently praised for his
patience and expertise. Ear Nurses, Ken and Sam provide a

RECHARGEABLE, CONNECTABLE & NATURAL
By processing the sound lightningfast, these incredible little
devices align your natural hearing with amplified sounds as
close as possible, allowing you to hear as nature intended.
Throw away fiddly batteries with the very latest rechargeable
devices: simply drop your hearing aids into an easy to use
charging station every night for the simplest hearing possible.
With wireless connection to cellphones you can stream sound
directly to your hearing aids, enjoy handsfree phone calls and
your favourite music or audiobooks with ultimate discretion.
Call for your FREE DEMONSTRATION
HEAR AGAIN are proud to bring a world first to New Zealand.
A leading Danish hearing aid manufacturer has recently
launched a range of hearing aids that provide the most natural
listening experience ever. Even a great hearing aid has always
sounded like a hearing aid until now.
The revolutionary new devices change the game to deliver the
most pure, natural sound ever. Typically, sound processed in
a hearing aid reaches your eardrum later than sound heard
directly; when these two ‘out of sync’ signals mix, you get an
artificial sound. This has been a problem for many years!
