Planting project brings joy 

SUPPORT: The red zone planting project is giving members of the community who have intellectual disabilities a 

place to learn skills and meet new people. 

PHOTOS: NEWSLINE 

EVERY TUESDAY morning, 

a cheerful bunch of volunteers 

can be found working at the 

Swanns Rd Pocket Park in the 

red zone. 

Amongst lots of goodnatured 

banter and chatter, the 

crew are planting wind-grasses 

at the park as part of a collaborative 

project between Hōhepa 

Canterbury and Avon Ōtākaro 

Network. 

Hōhepa Canterbury, a 

non-profit residential and day 

service community for people 

with intellectual disabilities, 

also runs volunteer sessions in 

Richmond Community Garden 

and the Fungi Farm. 

Crew member Stephen said 

the planting work is fun, easy 

and he loves it, while his friend 

Adam is enjoying meeting new 

people. 

Hōhepa Canterbury support 

co-ordinator Karen Wilson 

said the volunteers are learning 

skills while enjoying the 

feeling of being valued for their 

hard work. 

Said Wilson: “Our philosophy 

is ‘every life fully lived’ 

and we find projects like this 

helps us to break down barriers 

and the stigma that people 

with disabilities ‘can’t do anything’.” 

The planting work fits 

well with Hōhepa’s LEAP 

philosophy of ‘Learn, Explore, 

Activate Potential’. 

The crew first started working 

on the Richmond community 

garden in 2021 and 

found it to be a welcoming and 

inclusive place. 

Avon Ōtākaro Network network 

manager Hayley Guglietta 

said the collaboration 

is a “win-win” for everyone 

involved. 

“It helps us get the planting 

done, and the residents are out 

enjoying nature,” she said. 

“We really like working with 

Hōhepa.” 

Once established, the park 

will become a living example 

of how to encourage native 

biodiversity. 

Trees and shrubs planted 

at the back will attract birds, 

while wind-grasses for insects 

and plants for lizards are at the 

front. 

Ongaonga (native stinging 

nettle) is being safely planted 

further back to attract native 

butterflies. 

Fruit trees will be grafted 

towards the front of the park 

for red zone foragers, along 

with herbs. 

The park will take about two 

years to establish, and Guglietta 

says the Hōhepa crew will 

help with the establishment 

and maintenance during that 

time. 

City council community 

partnership ranger 

Sarah Mankelow said staff 

understand the many benefits 

of being outside and caring for 

the environment, and love to 

share that experience with a 

wide range of people. 

“Every person has something 

of value to contribute,” she 

said. 

“No person should 

experience a barrier to 

participating in community 

life because of a disability 

or limitation.”

Talent showcase ‘something special’ 

GEORGIA Reynolds is a big fan 

of the Barbie movie, and she took 

inspiration from it to come up 

with a winning dance number at 

The Palms’ talent quest. 

The quest saw more than 50 

talented youngsters dance, sing, 

and act in hopes of winning the 

competition. 

“It felt good to win,” said 

Georgia, who is in year 4 at Te 

Ara Koropiko West Spreydon 

School. 

Said her mother, Roseanne 

Reeves: “Her dance teacher, 

Steph Phillips, took her to the 

Barbie movie to inspire the 

dance they made together . . . she 

has been the biggest support for 

Georgia.” 

Georgia has been working 

with her instructor from Legacy 

Dance Studios for a year and a 

half and was awarded $1000 in 

vouchers, alongside first place, to 

spend at the shopping centre. 

Said The Palms’ spokesperson 

Claudine Pausma: “It takes a 

profound amount of courage for 

a child to perform publicly. 

“We feel privileged and 

honoured to have so many 

children willing to get out of 

their comfort zone and perform. 

“Seeing parents, caregivers, 

and families cheering on their 

kids, and giving them an 

opportunity to perform that 

they might not otherwise get, is 

something special.” 

55 applicants, aged five to 16 

years, took part in three days of 

heats and a final show day on 

September 30. 

Westburn Primary School’s 

Aura Mendiratta came in second 

place overall at the quest with a 

bhangra solo dance. 

“I felt very proud and lucky,” 

said eight-year-old Aura. 

“The performance went well, 

and I’d definitely participate in 

(the talent quest) next year.” 

Aura plans to use her vouchers 

on her family and will ‘also buy 

some food and clothes for needy 

children who do not have that 

many opportunities’. 

In third place, was Cleo 

Fitzgerald of Addington, who 

sang Hallelujah solo. 

“This talent quest was a big 

step up for Cleo in terms of 

performing in a bigger situation 

with crowds of people,” said her 

mother, Ella Fitzgerald. 

“I was amazed at how brave 

she was; she took everything in 

her stride.” 

Cleo, who is nine, attends St 

Mark’s School and was recently 

awarded the senior girls’ singing 

cup and performed in the 

school’s production. 

WINNERS: Georgia Reynolds performed 

a Barbie-inspired dance to place first, 

Aura Mendiratta took second with her 

bhangra solo dance and Cleo Fitzgerald 

sang her way to third place with 

Hallelujah. The three are pictured below

The Dressmaker & the Hidden Soldier 

by Doug Gold 

A true story of wartime courage, escape and romance. 

The Dressmaker & the Hidden Soldier is based on the extraordinary 

true story of Peter Blunden, the New Zealand soldier, and Thalia 

Christidou, the young Greek dressmaker, and Tasoula Paschilidou, 

the resistance heroine. 

What follows is an epic love story set in a country under Hitler’s 

oppressive regime. With the Nazis closing in, Peter makes another 

courageous escape, Thalia is threatened by betrayal, and Tasoula is 

sent to a concentration camp. 

Will Tasoula survive? What will become of Peter and Thalia’s 

undeclared love?

First guest arrives for treatment 

at brand new cancer centre 

THE CANTERBURY Cancer 

Centre has welcomed its first 

guest for treatment. 

Nick Farr travelled from 

Tākaka to undertake his cancer 

treatment at the recently opened 

centre on Langdons Rd. 

Canterbury, 

West Coast, Otago 

and Southland 

Cancer Society 

chief executive 

Nicola Coom 

said he previously 

Nicola 

Coom 

stayed at Daffodil 

House and Daffodil 

Lodge when 

he was first diagnosed. 

“We have recently welcomed 

him back after he received a 

second diagnosis requiring treatment 

in Christchurch,” Coom 

said. 

“We are delighted to welcome 

Nick as our first guest at the 

Canterbury Cancer Centre. 

“What makes it even more special 

is that Nick officially opened 

the centre . . . on behalf of all 

families impacted by cancer. 

“We understand the challenges 

faced by families when a loved 

one needs to travel away from 

home for cancer treatment, and 

we are honoured to be able to offer 

guests like Nick a ‘home away 

from home’ where they can feel 

supported and cared for during 

what can be a challenging time 

of their life.” 

The centre is the largest facility 

of its kind in the South Island 

and Coom said it signifies a new 

chapter in cancer care for the 

country. All services are under 

one roof and families have access 

to new services, such as counselling, 

physiotherapy, nutrition, 

peer support and more. 

The new facility was officially 

opened last month. Prime Minister 

Chris Hipkins and Minister 

of Health Dr Ayesha Verrall attended 

the blessing of the centre. 

It was built with $6.5 million 

in funding from the Government’s 

infrastructure reference 

group for shovel-ready projects, 

which was allocated in 2020. 

The centre has 50 rooms for 

patients and families from the 

South Island. It also has space for 

FIRST GUEST: Nick Farr

Canterbury Cancer Centre.

CANCER CENTRE 

organisations providing cancer 

services. 

It has opened just in time 

for some patients. The Cancer 

Society in Christchurch said 

last month it was having to 

use motels to house Otago and 

Southland cancer patients and 

their whānau because their 

other accommodation was full to 

overflowing. 

At the time, all 36 rooms at 

Daffodil House and Daffodil 

Lodge in Christchurch were 

full with patients from different 

districts. 

“For obvious reasons we don’t 

like seeing families having to 

return, but we are proud that we 

are here when they need us and 

that we can offer free services, 

such as travel and accommodation, 

to reduce the financial 

burden that comes with cancer,” 

said Coom. 

“This was a huge community 

effort and we are grateful to the 

support of the businesses, trusts, 

individuals and community 

groups throughout the South 

Island who have generously 

supported our vision for this 

building. 

“I think it’s a great representation 

of what we can achieve 

together when we combine our 

efforts. 

“While this a fabulous building, 

the centre is way more than 

bricks and mortar, it is a symbol 

of hope and it is our hope that it 

is utilised as a hub for everyone 

involved in cancer to collaborate 

and innovate together. 

“We have a big challenge in 

front of us, the demand for 

cancer services is increasing 

and we can only respond to this 

together.”

Nestled atop Clifton Hill, Gethsemane Heights emerges 

as Clifton’s newest and most enchanting subdivision, 

boasting panoramic vistas of the estuary, bays, and the 

majestic Southern Alps – a view that evolves with the 

passing moments. 

Spanning an expansive 863m² of gently sloping freehold 

terrain, this canvas is yours to transform into the HOME 

of your dreams. Position your abode thoughtfully to 

embrace the views and bask in the sun’s warm embrace. 

3 Loader Lane stands as the quintessential platform to 

manifest your vision. 

The rhythms of everyday life flow effortlessly here; 

Sumner village and beach lie just beneath the hill, a 

mere 15-minute journey to the CBD, and a short drive to 

the bustling Ferrymead shops. The lifestyle offered here 

is unparalleled, and what better way to savor it than 

within the haven you and your family will call your own. 

Yet, circumstances have shifted for our owners. Their 

focus now turns towards a renovation on their existing 

property, rendering this section a surplus to their needs. 

Offers are invited for consideration.
