Eastern eagle soars as referee 

Nella tackles 

new role 

on the 

league field 

• By Will Evans 

NELLA NGAHURU’S tenure 

as a player in the Canterbury 

Rugby League women’s 

premiership spans more than 16 

years – but she’s simultaneously 

in the formative stages of 

blazing a trail in the refereeing 

ranks. 

First pulling on the boots for 

Addington Magpies, Ngahuru 

represented Canterbury from 

2007-09, moved to Wellington 

and played for that province, 

then had a stint in her 

hometown of Rotorua, where 

she coached junior rugby league 

for two years. 

Ngahuru returned to 

Christchurch, turned out for 

Eastern Eagles in 2020, was a 

try-scorer in Woolston Rams’ 

grand final loss to Sydenham 

Swans and earned Canterbury 

selection again in 2021, and 

rejoined the Eagles last year. 

But her rugby league journey 

took another turn ahead of the 

2023 season. She picked up the 

whistle for the first time and 

has quickly become a valued 

member of the CRL refereeing 

contingent, who are backed by 

NZ MEP Fabrications. 

“I met (referee and CRL 

competitions and operations 

manager) Jordan Chand. He 

was trying to find refs and the 

way he talked about it really 

motivated me,” Ngahuru said. 

“I went to training and Jordan 

kept pushing me, to keep 

coming, and I don’t think that 

without all that encouragement 

and support I’d still be there. 

“Jordan, Kev (Ah-Ken), Jack 

(Feavers), Liam (O’Brien) – now 

I know all the guys and they all 

support me and look after me, 

so that’s why I love what I do 

right now.” 

Ngahuru has wholeheartedly 

thrown herself into refereeing, 

becoming a permanent fixture 

on Monday and Wednesday 

nights’ youth competitions, and 

controlling the 18s girls series 

between Linwood and Hornby 

earlier in the season. 

Although being a current 

player precludes her from 

refereeing women’s premiership 

games for now, she has served 

as a touch judge in that 

competition and accelerated her 

officiating education by running 

the lines in the Massetti Cup.

Council 

staff to 

maintain 

city’s 

parks 

IN-HOUSE teams of city council 

staff will be created to maintain 

Christchurch parks. 

City councillors have decided 

that from July 1 next year all 

parks maintenance activity, 

excluding tree maintenance 

and sexton services (burials in 

cemeteries) will be carried out by 

council employed staff rather than 

contractors. 

The current contract for 

maintenance services performed 

by Recreational Services Ltd – 

including mowing, sports fields, 

gardening, rubbish collection 

across councils 1000, plus 

community parks – was due to 

expire in June 2024. 

A number of options were 

considered including keeping 

the current mixed model service 

(using both contractors and 

in-house), a modified in-house 

delivery of services and full inhouse 

delivery of services. 

The decision was approved by 

the city council’s finance and 

performance committee. The 

committee approved the full inhouse 

delivery of services. 

“Parks, gardens and reserves 

are so important to everyone 

in Christchurch and Banks 

Peninsula.

VIBRANT: Artwork by Geri Parawa (left), Daphne Rolston 

(above) and Sharon White (below) will be on display at the 

Sumner Art Society’s annual exhibition this weekend. 

New venue for annual art exhibition 

THE SUMNER Art Society is 

holding its annual exhibition this 

weekend. 

Previously held at the Redcliffs 

Bowling Club, it will be at the Mt 

Pleasant Yacht Club this year for 

the first time. 

The clubrooms are where art 

society members meet each 

Wednesday morning to work on 

their art, enjoy companionship 

and share creative ideas. 

Established in 1959, the art 

society has about 45 members. 

Well-known members who 

will be exhibiting include Adrienne 

Pavelka, who works with 

watercolours; Maxine Burney, 

who has a studio at The Arts 

Centre and paints with acrylics; 

and award-winning artist Geri 

Parawa, whose medium is ink, 

which she uses to create fluid, 

vibrant artworks. 

One of her Parawa’s works will 

be raffled at the exhibition (the 

other prize is a hamper). 

Others who have been busy 

preparing for the exhibition 

are Sharon Soderberg-White, 

who uses acrylic fluid pouring 

to produce hand-embellished 

works, and Suzanne Roberts, 

who creates collages, often of 

veteran cars. Gaye McElroy 

works with oils on canvas, painting 

figurative mannequins, while 

Barry Mattingley paints detailed, 

semi-impressionist landscapes 

in acrylics. Pencils and pastels 

are the favoured mediums Rose 

Croft, who creates portraits using 

pastels. 

Exhibition organiser Kilmeny 

Keyse paints in oils on canvas 

and her subjects include 

landscapes, while Rae Manson 

prefers acrylics and her subjects 

often have a musical theme or 

are abstracts. 

• The free exhibition is 

open from 10am to 5pm 

on Saturday and Sunday. 

Art is available for purchase

New model 

to care for 

parks 

• From page 1 

“Parks, gardens and reserves 

are so important to everyone 

in Christchurch and Banks 

Peninsula. They’re part of our 

identity. By making this shift, our 

parks will be getting top quality, 

tailored maintenance,” committee 

chair Cr Sam MacDonald said. 

“The council was facing an 

increase in operational costs 

which would have had an impact 

on rates so to get this moved inhouse 

where we can be flexible, 

have locally dedicated people 

maintaining local parks and 

avoid spending more ratepayer 

money is a real win. Keeping costs 

under control and staying within 

existing operational budgets was a 

big factor in the decision.” 

Said city council head of 

parks Andrew Rutledge: “The 

new in-house model will be an 

extension of the way the Botanic 

Gardens, Ngā Puna Wai, Hagley 

Park, regional parks, our garden 

and heritage sites and parks 

on the Akaroa Harbour side of 

Banks Peninsula are currently 

maintained. 

“The number of council staff in 

each team will be determined by 

the size and scale of the assets in 

each ward and we’ll be working 

through this over the next nine 

months to make sure we’re ready 

to hit the ground running 

in 2024.” 

Air Force, police beckon 

for Blue Light awardees 

TWO CATHOLIC Cathedral 

College students are considering 

careers in either the Air Force 

or police after collecting two of 

the top awards at Blue Light’s life 

skills programme. 

Mjade Tusa, 16, from Woolston 

won the peers’ choice award. 

“It means a lot to me to be 

trusted and respected by my 

peers. These were people that I 

had grown to trust and respect,” 

he said. 

Freddy Carter, 

15, (left) from the 

central city won the 

overall excellence 

award. 

“I was very 

humbled by the 

decision the staff 

made and it was a 

great honour to be selected for 

this award,” he said. 

Both of them faced challenges 

such as a high wire course, 

mountain biking, along with 

leaderless tasks, drills, teamwork 

challenges, a bomb disarming 

challenge and physical activities 

through the programme that was 

held at Burnham Military Camp. 

Mjade said once they knew 

each other they could meet their 

challenges and obstacles. 

“This enabled us all to pitch in 

together and show our chemistry. 

We did this towards the end (of 

the camp) and it was an example 

of how well we had gelled 

together”. 

Freddy said the toughest 

challenge for him was working 

with new people and getting 

through the challenges. 

“The bomb challenge was the 

hardest for us as we did not have 

group synergy yet. This was 

tricky, but the challenge enabled 

us to learn how to improve and 

work as a team.” 

Both of them agreed that 

people should take part in the 

programme as it gives them 

another perspective on career

choices as well as a chance to 

make new friends. 

Blue Light South Island coordinator 

Nicola Paterson who 

was at the camp said Freddy won 

the award due to his maturity. 

“Freddy was awarded the 

overall excellence award through 

demonstrating the qualities of 

maturity, respect, intuition and 

through building individual and 

group mana. 

“Mjade was awarded the peers’ 

choice award through his efforts 

to foster a team environment, 

encouragement and respectful 

communication with fellow team 

members.” 

Learning 

curve 

• From page 1 

“I’ve learnt a lot, I didn’t realise 

how different being a player to 

being a ref is. I’ve learnt more 

about rugby league now than I 

ever have. 

“I’ve got a lot better – when 

I first started I was all over the 

place, a bit confused. But because 

of the knowledge I’ve got now, I’m 

more on point.” 

While it’s early days in 

Ngahuru’s refereeing career, she 

harbours some lofty goals – but 

hanging up the playing boots is 

not on the cards anytime soon. 

“My goal is to one day ref a New 

Zealand game,” she said. 

“My daughter has just made 

New Zealand (age-group) this 

year, so it inspires me to keep 

doing what I’m doing, for her. 

“I love rugby league so much 

and I think I’ve got a few more 

years in me to be backing down 

from playing.” 

CRL director of football Jamie 

Lester praised Ngahuru’s attitude 

and commitment to building her 

refereeing skill set. 

“It’s awesome to see, Nella is 

leading the way in the female 

refereeing stakes in Canterbury. 

“It was great having a female 

referee role model for the 18s girls 

games and there was some really 

good feedback from the coaches 

about her progression over the 

three games,” he said.

Coastal Side 

Celeste Donovan 

‘Creating 

predator free 

backyards’ 

Coastal Ward city councillor Celeste Donovan writes about 

the bid to make the east side predator free 

THE PREDATOR Free movement 

is gaining momentum in the eastern 

suburbs. 

It is driven by the recognition a Predator 

Free Aotearoa must be firmly rooted 

in and driven by local communities. 

Many of them have taken on the challenge 

of creating predator free backyards. 

There is great recognition of the need 

to co-exist with wildlife and even bring 

some back into existing neighbourhoods 

by returning, where possible, the original 

fauna. One of the unsung revolutions is 

happening in backyards – and this includes 

our pristine coastal area. A movement 

made up of an increasing numbers 

of local groups with a common aim in 

mind is to make their area predator free 

by 2050. 

The five baddies on the elimination 

list are rats, stoats, ferrets, weasels, and 

possums. Other groups, such as Pest 

Free Banks Peninsula, also focus on the 

elimination of wide range of pests which 

threaten native biodiversity, including 

goats, deer, hedgehog, rabbits, hares, and 

rooting pigs. 

As coastal councillor I have taken an 

interest in this because the restoration 

of our biodiversity is about comes with 

many benefits for our community. We 

can look forward to hearing our native 

insects, bats, reptiles, and birds as they 

return back to the forests, farmland, 

towns, cities and coasts. Protecting our 

environmental taonga is also good for 

our local economy. An estimated 68,000 

native birds are killed in New Zealand by 

introduced pests every night, which costs 

our economy and primary sector more 

than $3.3 billion per year. 

What has surprised me is the number 

of volunteers already operating along our 

coastline. For instance, the Styx Living 

Laboratory Trust, a local river care group 

that are focused on developing a ‘living 

laboratory’ in Pūharakekenui (Styx) 

River catchment and hosts a monthly 

Predator Trap Library. In the coastal 

area, there has been a flurry of activity 

with predator control groups now 

operating in Waimairi, New Brighton, 

Spencerville and Southshore – spanning 

the entire area. 

A key factor in the success of these 

groups is close collaboration with CCC 

rangers, with local councils increasingly 

taking the lead on predator free goals. 

There is also a strong recognition that 

restoring our natural environment will 

have huge benefits for future generations, 

as we face a warming climate. 

The key for me though is every resident 

can contribute by making their space 

MISSION: Justin Fletcher (left) and

Free NZ trap. 

free of predators and that does not just 

mean installing traps but also learning to 

keep domestic cats and dogs away from 

vulnerable animals like birds, seals, and 

penguins. 

There is education available with trapbuilding 

days at schools and community 

venues. The CCC rangers and volunteers 

hosted a “Tinker Club” session on trap 

building workshop at New Brighton 

library, an event popular with families 

able to participate in hands-on learning 

experience for children. 

Hayley Guglietta, chair of Richmond 

Community Gardens situated on the 

edge of the Ōtākaro (Avon) River and 

red zone, is excited to see native wetlands 

restored along the Ōtākaro green spine 

in the coming decades. She says trapping 

is an essential part of this process. “It’s 

about creating a barrier between the precious 

wetlands and the city,” she says. 

Luke, the coordinator for Predator Free 

New Brighton, is also enthusiastic about 

the benefits of volunteering to improve 

the biodiversity of his community. “Being 

outside in natural surroundings keeps 

me fit, and healthy. I also get a buzz from 

sharing my passion for the environment, 

and hearing native birdlife return to our 

shores and estuary. There’s nothing quite 

like knowing you are part of the future 

vision for the city.”

HOME & HEATING 

Ground moisture barrier 

under low sub-floor 

Now with the colder and wetter weather on 

its way, home owners are focusing on ways 

to make their homes comfortable, warm 

and healthy for their families throughout 

winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects 

many of our older properties which suffer 

from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier. 

In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many 

people have relocated to homes that suffer 

from rising damp which can be associated 

with health problems. Independent tests have 

shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise 

from the ground and enter a house every day, 

leading to mildew, mould, condensation and 

musty smells. Moulds can produce various 

allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and 

very young are especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The team 

understands the problems caused by rising 

damp and are there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump a lightweight, 

flowable foam concrete under your timber 

floored home. 

While insulation is important, it has been 

recognised that it is dampness that is the real 

villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes 

Standards introduced by the government 

effective from the 1st July 2019 now has 

a requirement to install ground moisture 

barriers, a key element in the armory to fight 

moisture in the home. 

Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a 

report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under 

Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed 

the effects of placing Foam Concrete over 

damp soil and had this to say: Condensation 

on the underside of a timber floor can occur 

where the floor is suspended over damp 

ground and the inside air temperature falls 

close to the crawl space air temperature. 

Much energy is required to vaporize moisture 

that penetrates the structure. By avoiding 

underfloor condensation, foam concrete can 

reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%. 

• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most 

cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier 

under the suspended wooden floor of your 

home, even when there is no crawl space. 

• BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961 

• Members of the Insulation Association of 

New Zealand. 

• We offer a free measure and quote in the 

Canterbury region with no obligations. 

• Assessments can be made in all other 

regions by arrangement. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd 

now for your free, no obligation quote and 

complimentary appraisal of your underfloor 

ground moisture barrier needs.

Keep cosy with 

RD Petroleum 

this winter 

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can 

become eligible for value-added benefits. 

For all enquiries please phone 

0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at
