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 />

Overall points out of 10:<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 />
