Planting project brings joy<br />
SUPPORT: The red zone planting project is giving members of the community who have intellectual disabilities a<br />
place to learn skills and meet new people.<br />
PHOTOS: NEWSLINE<br />
EVERY TUESDAY morning,<br />
a cheerful bunch of volunteers<br />
can be found working at the<br />
Swanns Rd Pocket Park in the<br />
red zone.<br />
Amongst lots of goodnatured<br />
banter and chatter, the<br />
crew are planting wind-grasses<br />
at the park as part of a collaborative<br />
project between Hōhepa<br />
Canterbury and Avon Ōtākaro<br />
Network.<br />
Hōhepa Canterbury, a<br />
non-profit residential and day<br />
service community for people<br />
with intellectual disabilities,<br />
also runs volunteer sessions in<br />
Richmond Community Garden<br />
and the Fungi Farm.<br />
Crew member Stephen said<br />
the planting work is fun, easy<br />
and he loves it, while his friend<br />
Adam is enjoying meeting new<br />
people.<br />
Hōhepa Canterbury support<br />
co-ordinator Karen Wilson<br />
said the volunteers are learning<br />
skills while enjoying the<br />
feeling of being valued for their<br />
hard work.<br />
Said Wilson: “Our philosophy<br />
is ‘every life fully lived’<br />
and we find projects like this<br />
helps us to break down barriers<br />
and the stigma that people<br />
with disabilities ‘can’t do anything’.”<br />
The planting work fits<br />
well with Hōhepa’s LEAP<br />
philosophy of ‘Learn, Explore,<br />
Activate Potential’.<br />
The crew first started working<br />
on the Richmond community<br />
garden in 2021 and<br />
found it to be a welcoming and<br />
inclusive place.<br />
Avon Ōtākaro Network network<br />
manager Hayley Guglietta<br />
said the collaboration<br />
is a “win-win” for everyone<br />
involved.<br />
“It helps us get the planting<br />
done, and the residents are out<br />
enjoying nature,” she said.<br />
“We really like working with<br />
Hōhepa.”<br />
Once established, the park<br />
will become a living example<br />
of how to encourage native<br />
biodiversity.<br />
Trees and shrubs planted<br />
at the back will attract birds,<br />
while wind-grasses for insects<br />
and plants for lizards are at the<br />
front.<br />
Ongaonga (native stinging<br />
nettle) is being safely planted<br />
further back to attract native<br />
butterflies.<br />
Fruit trees will be grafted<br />
towards the front of the park<br />
for red zone foragers, along<br />
with herbs.<br />
The park will take about two<br />
years to establish, and Guglietta<br />
says the Hōhepa crew will<br />
help with the establishment<br />
and maintenance during that<br />
time.<br />
City council community<br />
partnership ranger<br />
Sarah Mankelow said staff<br />
understand the many benefits<br />
of being outside and caring for<br />
the environment, and love to<br />
share that experience with a<br />
wide range of people.<br />
“Every person has something<br />
of value to contribute,” she<br />
said.<br />
“No person should<br />
experience a barrier to<br />
participating in community<br />
life because of a disability<br />
or limitation.”<br />

First guest arrives for treatment<br />
at brand new cancer centre<br />
THE CANTERBURY Cancer<br />
Centre has welcomed its first<br />
guest for treatment.<br />
Nick Farr travelled from<br />
Tākaka to undertake his cancer<br />
treatment at the recently opened<br />
centre on Langdons Rd.<br />
Canterbury,<br />
West Coast, Otago<br />
and Southland<br />
Cancer Society<br />
chief executive<br />
Nicola Coom<br />
said he previously<br />
Nicola<br />
Coom<br />
stayed at Daffodil<br />
House and Daffodil<br />
Lodge when<br />
he was first diagnosed.<br />
“We have recently welcomed<br />
him back after he received a<br />
second diagnosis requiring treatment<br />
in Christchurch,” Coom<br />
said.<br />
“We are delighted to welcome<br />
Nick as our first guest at the<br />
Canterbury Cancer Centre.<br />
“What makes it even more special<br />
is that Nick officially opened<br />
the centre . . . on behalf of all<br />
families impacted by cancer.<br />
“We understand the challenges<br />
faced by families when a loved<br />
one needs to travel away from<br />
home for cancer treatment, and<br />
we are honoured to be able to offer<br />
guests like Nick a ‘home away<br />
from home’ where they can feel<br />
supported and cared for during<br />
what can be a challenging time<br />
of their life.”<br />
The centre is the largest facility<br />
of its kind in the South Island<br />
and Coom said it signifies a new<br />
chapter in cancer care for the<br />
country. All services are under<br />
one roof and families have access<br />
to new services, such as counselling,<br />
physiotherapy, nutrition,<br />
peer support and more.<br />
The new facility was officially<br />
opened last month. Prime Minister<br />
Chris Hipkins and Minister<br />
of Health Dr Ayesha Verrall attended<br />
the blessing of the centre.<br />
It was built with $6.5 million<br />
in funding from the Government’s<br />
infrastructure reference<br />
group for shovel-ready projects,<br />
which was allocated in 2020.<br />
The centre has 50 rooms for<br />
patients and families from the<br />
South Island. It also has space for<br />

organisations providing cancer<br />
services.<br />
It has opened just in time<br />
for some patients. The Cancer<br />
Society in Christchurch said<br />
last month it was having to<br />
use motels to house Otago and<br />
Southland cancer patients and<br />
their whānau because their<br />
other accommodation was full to<br />
overflowing.<br />
At the time, all 36 rooms at<br />
Daffodil House and Daffodil<br />
Lodge in Christchurch were<br />
full with patients from different<br />
districts.<br />
“For obvious reasons we don’t<br />
like seeing families having to<br />
return, but we are proud that we<br />
are here when they need us and<br />
that we can offer free services,<br />
such as travel and accommodation,<br />
to reduce the financial<br />
burden that comes with cancer,”<br />
said Coom.<br />
“This was a huge community<br />
effort and we are grateful to the<br />
support of the businesses, trusts,<br />
individuals and community<br />
groups throughout the South<br />
Island who have generously<br />
supported our vision for this<br />
building.<br />
“I think it’s a great representation<br />
of what we can achieve<br />
together when we combine our<br />
efforts.<br />
“While this a fabulous building,<br />
the centre is way more than<br />
bricks and mortar, it is a symbol<br />
of hope and it is our hope that it<br />
is utilised as a hub for everyone<br />
involved in cancer to collaborate<br />
and innovate together.<br />
“We have a big challenge in<br />
front of us, the demand for<br />
cancer services is increasing<br />
and we can only respond to this<br />
together.”<br />

Love of literacy prompts writer to<br />
help schools fundraise for books<br />
WIN-WIN: Author Julie Folkers wants to help schools and<br />
clubs raise funds for book buying.<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
DESPITE LIVING with multiple<br />
sclerosis, children’s author and<br />
publisher Julie Folkers aims to<br />
help young people develop their<br />
reading and writing.<br />
The Wigram-based writer<br />
wants to supply notebooks to<br />
schools, charities and other<br />
organisations for $10, which they<br />
can then on-sell for $15. Schools<br />
and clubs could use the funds<br />
raised for book buying.<br />
“Your school or club can earn<br />
$5 from each notebook ordered.<br />
That’s easier than standing in<br />
the cold cooking sausages,” said<br />
Folkers.<br />
The intention is for students to<br />
use the notebooks to write their<br />
own books.<br />
Folkers, the owner of Ooky<br />
Spooky Publications, said she has<br />
produced “about 400 notebooks<br />
this year” to sell.<br />
She will also be offering her<br />
children’s books for a discounted<br />
price of $<strong>12</strong> each, which can be<br />
on-sold for $18.<br />
Folkers was chair of the New<br />
Zealand Society of Authors in<br />
20<strong>12</strong>, and signed with a UK<br />
publisher to sell illustrated<br />
versions of her own stories<br />
in 2017.<br />
Folkers first fantasy novel for<br />
children.<br />
Her first fantasy novel for<br />
children is called Abby and the<br />
Hopplescotch Realm, which is<br />
book one in a series about the<br />
adventures of a group of children<br />
and other characters in different<br />
realms.<br />
Folkers’ other series include<br />
the read-along Fairytale series,<br />
the Dreamland series, and the<br />
Mr Arthur series.<br />
“(My) books are fun, laughter,<br />
mischief and mayhem with a<br />
mystery involved with so much<br />
happening they hold the reader<br />
in the book,” Folkers said.<br />
“They are also great for kids<br />
who are learning English as their<br />
second language with a parent<br />
who needs to develop their English<br />
as well.”<br />
Folker was in her 30s and had<br />
just had her first child when she<br />
was diagnosed with multiple<br />
sclerosis.<br />
“It was a mystery losing my<br />
eyesight in a single day and<br />
regaining it later on. I’ve been<br />
blind three times all together<br />
and it made me rethink what I<br />
was going to do with myself,” she<br />
said.<br />
“I always said I would love to<br />
write kids’ books . . . I re-trained,<br />
got my diploma and decided to<br />
follow my dream.<br />
“My plan now that I’m back<br />
into doing school visits again,<br />
which were restricted due<br />
to Covid-19, is to help these<br />
organisations buy books so the<br />
kids can continue to develop<br />
vital skills.”<br />

TheValue<br />
of a Mentor<br />

Recently, I was struck so much by<br />
the constant use of the word ‘mentor’<br />
that I thought I’d do a gentle dive<br />
into the whole topic to answer some<br />
questions about something I hold as<br />
a very precious and valued act.<br />
Questions like: What does being a mentor<br />
involve? What can all parties expect from the<br />
relationship? Where can you find a mentor?<br />
These are all part of this large philosophical<br />
discussion, so let’s enter it together.<br />
A mentor is defined as someone who shares<br />
their knowledge, skill and experience to grow<br />
another person.<br />
Although it can be a commercial relationship,<br />
it doesn’t have to be.<br />
I’ve been a mentor to a significant number<br />
of people and it’s been one of the most<br />
incredible opportunities I’ve had in life. I can<br />
share that some of the relationships were short<br />
and precise, while others have lasted years,<br />
and they have helped me become a better<br />
person just as much as I hope they’ve helped<br />
the people I’ve mentored.<br />
At its core, mentoring is a relationship<br />
anchored deeply in trust and it can cover<br />
anything the party being mentored requires.<br />
The relationship is intended to uplift,<br />
encourage, inspire and guide, with the<br />
desire for growth in many areas being at its<br />
foundation. It can also challenge and caution<br />
when that’s needed.<br />
Not only is trust required, respect is also<br />
essential given it’s hard to listen to someone<br />
who says one thing whilst doing another or<br />
who doesn’t have more than a scraping of<br />
knowledge in the field that the mentee wants<br />
assistance in.<br />
I’ve had, and still have, world-class mentors.<br />
Thank you, Burt, Paul, Sarah, John and Cam.<br />
They have always uplifted me. I’ve learnt<br />
remarkable things about my profession, the<br />
world and myself, and I’ve also been pulled<br />
into line when the moment required it!<br />
I pay them enormous gratitude and respect,<br />
and it’s important that the values you all have<br />
are congruent and aligned.<br />
There are said to be three types of mentoring.<br />
Firstly, one on one. For many, this is the<br />
favoured kind of space for imparting and<br />
gaining knowledge. It also safeguards<br />
confidentiality, which all mentoring requires,<br />
and there’s something special about being<br />
one on one with someone given the busy lives<br />
most of us lead. As an aside, this would always<br />
be my preference because it means I can focus<br />
more intently on the person and the job at<br />
hand.<br />
Other mentoring can be conducted at a<br />
distance, invariably online, and here the<br />
mentor needs to ensure that they test and<br />
troubleshoot all devices.<br />
There’s nothing worse than being deep in<br />
conversation and then to have a technical<br />
issue. It reduces time and confidence, and<br />
given I’m useless at technical rescues I tend<br />
to avoid this method. There’s also a reduction<br />
in some of the clues you get when you are<br />
in a personal one on one and potentially<br />
the emotional connection that comes with<br />
mentoring.<br />
Thirdly, there are group sessions, which can<br />
work for those who learn best in a collective<br />
and collaborative way, though it can be noisy<br />
and you have to be weary of big talkers versus<br />
those that never talk. It can be tricky. A mentor<br />
in this space needs to have the skills to bring<br />
the best out in everyone whilst having great<br />
processes for following up.<br />
So, what haven’t we covered? How about<br />
where to find a mentor?<br />
It could be a matter of going online to<br />
search and there’s an extensive number of<br />
companies and individuals available all at<br />
varying price points. There’s word of mouth<br />
or recommendations, and there’s also the<br />
shoulder-tapping of friends or people you<br />
admire and trust.<br />
I’ve tended to work with people as a mentee<br />
from that perspective and I’ve never been let<br />
down.<br />
So, there you have it. Is it something you want<br />
to embrace or consider? If so, I know you’ll find<br />
it, as I have, life changing.<br />

New Nissan Z pays homage to its history<br />
A NEW and long overdue<br />
version one of Japan’s most iconic<br />
sport coupes, the Nissan Z, is<br />
keeping the torch burning for<br />
these models, at time when many<br />
car makers are hitting the delete<br />
button on them.<br />
This is a Nissan with a<br />
colourful history, dated back<br />
54 years to 1969, when the<br />
great granddad of today’s Z,<br />
the Datsun 240Z, made its<br />
world debut. The new seventhgeneration<br />
Z dropped its<br />
numerical prefix and in the<br />
process a little bit of the car’s<br />
heritage.<br />
The new Z adopts a traditional<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
rear-wheel drive sports car<br />
design, with a long bonnet, lower<br />
rear end stance and a silhouette<br />
that pays homage to the firstgeneration<br />
Z.<br />
All models run a high-energy<br />
3.0-litre V6 twin turbo engine<br />
with the choice of a close-ratio<br />
6-speed manual gearbox<br />
complete or a 9-speed automatic<br />
with paddle shifters. Both wear<br />
the same $84,990 price tag. The<br />
test vehicle was an auto, which<br />
most buyers are expected to opt<br />
for.<br />
The motor features variable<br />
valve timing, force-fed by<br />
small-diameter turbochargers,<br />
regulated for maximum<br />
spooling speed<br />
to balance power<br />
output and throttleresponse<br />
time. These<br />
enhancements improve<br />
the vehicle’s power to<br />
weight ratio by over<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
<strong>12</strong> per cent and deliver sharper<br />
acceleration compared to its<br />
impressive predecessor, the 370Z,<br />
and it was no slouch. Peak power<br />
and torque rise in the new engine<br />
to 298kW and 475Nm – the<br />
latter being 31 per cent higher<br />
than its predecessor. With its<br />
strong, almost turbine-like power<br />
delivery there are few other sixcylinder<br />
coupes that provide the<br />
exhilarating acceleration of this<br />
one for its asking price. It even<br />
knocks the performance spots<br />
off a number of more expensive<br />
rivals.<br />
The new 9-speed automatic<br />
offers direct and rapid gear<br />
changes that are executed with<br />
pinpoint precision. It gave the test<br />
a car an extra lively feel thanks to<br />
its wide gear ratios and standard<br />
launch control system.<br />
Designed to fit the driver<br />
and passenger like a glove, the<br />
snug cabin seamlessly blends<br />
modern technology with vintage<br />
Z touches. The centre stack uses<br />
a three-zone approach, placing<br />
three analogue pod gauges on the<br />
instrument panel (boost, turbo<br />
speed, volt) and all within the<br />
driver’s gaze.<br />
Comfy black woven cloth seats,<br />
with an 8-way manual driver’s<br />
seat, are a great place to enjoy<br />
all this iconic sport car has to<br />
offer. A full range of convenience<br />
technology includes Nissan<br />
Intelligent Key with Push Button<br />
Start, Intelligent Cruise Control,<br />
auto-dimming rearview mirror,<br />
Rearview Monitor, two <strong>12</strong>-volt<br />
power points, and two USB<br />
points (Type-A and Type-C).<br />
There’s a modest 8.0-inch touch<br />
screen, a lot smaller than you<br />
would expect in a car costing this<br />
much.<br />
There’s been a worthwhile rejig<br />
of the suspension. The front and<br />
rear dampers have switched to a<br />
new mono tube shock absorber<br />
design with a larger diameter<br />
than the outgoing 370Z. The<br />
upshot is an estimated 20 per<br />
cent reduction in dampening<br />
force to help minimise impact<br />
shock over uneven surfaces,<br />
and unleash better handling<br />
stability. The front doublewishbone<br />
aluminum suspension<br />
features uprated geometry<br />
with mathematical wizardry<br />
improving the vehicle’s straightline<br />
stability. A two-point front<br />

The rear independent multi-link<br />
aluminum suspension has also<br />
been reconfigured with new<br />
settings.<br />
The low speed ride in finest<br />
Z traditions is almost as still as<br />
a British upper lip in low speed<br />
town driving, particularly over<br />
the worst badly worn road<br />
surfaces. The road holding<br />
is simply superb. Whether it<br />
a long sweeping corner or a<br />
tight and unforgiving one, the<br />
test car navigated them with<br />
consummate ease. Its low-slung<br />
stance and the huge footprint of<br />
the meaty tyres have the excellent<br />
grip required to take charge on<br />
bumpy undulating surfaces, with<br />
plenty of adhesion in reserve if<br />
needed.<br />
