Barbie wins talent show<br />
GEORGIA Reynolds is a big fan<br />
of the Barbie movie, and she took<br />
inspiration from it to come up with<br />
a winning dance number at The<br />
Palms’ talent quest.<br />
The quest saw more than 50<br />
talented youngsters dance, sing,<br />
and act in hopes of winning the<br />
competition.<br />
“It felt good to win,” said<br />
Georgia, who is in year 4 at Te Ara<br />
Koropiko West Spreydon School.<br />
Said her mother, Roseanne<br />
Reeves: “Her dance teacher, Steph<br />
Phillips, took her to the Barbie<br />
movie to inspire the dance they<br />
made together . . . she has been the<br />
biggest support for Georgia.”<br />
Georgia has been working with<br />
her instructor from Legacy Dance<br />
Studios for a year and a half and<br />
was awarded $1000 in vouchers,<br />
alongside first place, to spend at the<br />
shopping centre.<br />

Halswell<br />
needs<br />
your help<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
VOLUNTEERS ARE needed for<br />
a Halswell-specific community<br />
patrol car as crime increases in the<br />
fast-growing area.<br />
The Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
wants funding for a vehicle to take<br />
the pressure off the Hornby community<br />
patrol which also covers<br />
Halswell.<br />
But to get funding, the community<br />
board will need to show there<br />
are enough volunteers to make it<br />
viable.<br />
Said Halswell Ward councillor<br />
and community board member<br />
Andrei Moore: “Our community<br />
board has identified supporting<br />
a new community patrol car, as a<br />
project, is something the community<br />
would be strongly in support<br />
of.<br />
“Right now, I’m putting the<br />
call out for expressions of interest<br />
from willing volunteers for both<br />
patrols and a new committee.”<br />

Armed police raid<br />
Sydenham house<br />
RAID: The Milton St property was searched and a woman was taken into custody<br />
last week.<br />
RESIDENTS OF a street in<br />
Sydenham were told to stay<br />
inside their homes while armed<br />
police raided a house.<br />
A neighbour of the Milton St<br />
property where the raid took<br />
place said Armed Offenders’<br />
Squad members arrived at the<br />
house about 3pm on Thursday<br />
last week.<br />
The neighbour said they were<br />
told to stay in their home until<br />
the raid was over.<br />
A woman from the house was<br />
taken into custody while police<br />
searched for two men.<br />
“Police cuffed a young woman<br />
and have yet to find the two<br />
men,” the neighbour said.<br />
A person was later charged<br />
with a drug-related offence.<br />
“They first searched with a<br />
drone inside the house, then they<br />
went in.<br />
“We were out on the patio<br />
and (I) was asked to go inside. It<br />
was hectic with lots of guns and<br />
stuff.”<br />
Another neighbour of the<br />
Milton St property said: “I saw a<br />
shadow go past before I saw the<br />
full body – a dude in a full armed<br />
offenders’ suit was pointing a finger<br />
at me and asked me to come<br />
to the window. They then asked<br />
me about the neighbours.”<br />
TEAM: The Hornby patrol car currently covers the Halswell/<br />
Hornby area with eyes, ears, and assistance when needed.<br />
Volunteers needed<br />
for Halswell patrol<br />
• From page 1<br />
Community patrols are organised<br />
and operated by their local<br />
communities and volunteers,<br />
who work closely with police and<br />
other agencies to assist in building<br />
safer communities.<br />
Moore said that there is capacity<br />
for another 20 volunteers<br />
and the response to his proposal<br />
will determine whether there is<br />
enough people power to deliver<br />
more patrol hours on the road.<br />
“Our community is on track<br />
to soon be about the size of Gisborne<br />
so the time has probably<br />
come,” said Moore.<br />
“It will require a few willing<br />
volunteers for patrols and establishing<br />
a new committee, but I<br />
believe it’s achievable if the support<br />
is there.”<br />
Expressions of interest can be<br />
sent to Andrei.Moore@ccc.govt.<br />
nz or Hornbycommunitypatrol@<br />
gmail.com. Alternatively, go to<br />

The Dressmaker & the Hidden Soldier<br />
by Doug Gold<br />
A true story of wartime courage, escape and romance.<br />
The Dressmaker & the Hidden Soldier is based on the extraordinary<br />
true story of Peter Blunden, the New Zealand soldier, and Thalia<br />
Christidou, the young Greek dressmaker, and Tasoula Paschilidou,<br />
the resistance heroine.<br />
What follows is an epic love story set in a country under Hitler’s<br />
oppressive regime. With the Nazis closing in, Peter makes another<br />
courageous escape, Thalia is threatened by betrayal, and Tasoula is<br />
sent to a concentration camp.<br />
Will Tasoula survive? What will become of Peter and Thalia’s<br />
undeclared love?<br />

School holiday showcase<br />
‘something special’<br />
• From page 1<br />
Said The Palms’ spokesperson<br />
Claudine Pausma: “It takes a<br />
profound amount of courage for<br />
a child to perform publicly.<br />
“We feel privileged and<br />
honoured to have so many<br />
children willing to get out of their<br />
comfort zone and perform.<br />
“Seeing parents, caregivers, and<br />
families cheering on their kids,<br />
and giving them an opportunity<br />
to perform that they might not<br />
otherwise get, is something<br />
special.”<br />
55 applicants, aged five to 16<br />
years, took part in three days of<br />
heats and a final show day on<br />
September 30.<br />
Westburn Primary School’s<br />
Aura Mendiratta came in second<br />
place overall at the quest with a<br />
bhangra solo dance.<br />
“I felt very proud and lucky,”<br />
said eight-year-old Aura.<br />
“The performance went well,<br />
and I’d definitely participate in<br />
(the talent quest) next year.”<br />
Aura plans to use her vouchers<br />
on her family and will ‘also buy<br />
some food and clothes for needy<br />
children who do not have that<br />
many opportunities’.<br />
In third place, was Cleo<br />
Fitzgerald of Addington, who<br />
sang ‘Hallelujah’ solo.<br />
“This talent quest was a big<br />
step up for Cleo in terms of<br />
performing in a bigger situation<br />
WINNERS: Aura Mendiratta, Cleo Fitzgerald and Georgia<br />
Reynolds with talent quest host Chris Lynch.<br />
with crowds of people,” said her<br />
mother, Ella Fitzgerald.<br />
“I was amazed at how brave she<br />
was; she took everything in her<br />
stride.”<br />
Cleo, who is nine, attends St<br />
Mark’s School and was recently<br />
awarded the senior girls’ singing<br />
cup and performed in the<br />
school’s production.<br />
Addington Farm<br />
expansion plans<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
ADDINGTON FARM wants to<br />
expand its community garden<br />
operation.<br />
It is asking to use an area in the<br />
south corner of Addington Park.<br />
In early September, Addington<br />
Farm manager William LeHeux,<br />
along with volunteers, provided<br />
a deputation to the Waihoro<br />
Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote<br />
Community Board on Addington<br />
Farm.<br />
The proposal has been<br />
endorsed by Food Together<br />
Aotearoa, the Addington Park<br />
Community Group, Addington<br />
Te Kura Taumatau, Manuka<br />
Cottage Addington Community<br />
House and the Canterbury Community<br />
Gardens Association.<br />
Said community board chairperson<br />
Callum Ward: “We are<br />
very supportive of the idea . . .<br />
we’ve handed the request over to<br />
staff to investigate it in more detail,<br />
including how we’ll consult<br />
with the public before anything<br />
goes ahead.<br />
Thursday <strong>October</strong> <strong>12</strong> <strong>2023</strong><br />
“We’ve had several community<br />
groups approach the board in the<br />
last few months about growing<br />
food in public spaces and we’re<br />
excited about the prospect of<br />
initiatives like this.<br />
“Especially when credible, wellconnected<br />
community groups<br />
like the Addington Farm put<br />
their hand up to take the lead.”<br />
Addington Farm, which was<br />
founded in 2018, operates as a<br />
charitable trust, not-for-profit<br />
organisation that aims to convert<br />
unused backyards into garden<br />
plots.<br />
The food is shared with volunteers<br />
and given to their community<br />
food distribution partner,<br />
Addington Te Kura Taumatua.<br />
The farm also sells produce<br />
through a seasonal communitysupported<br />
agriculture<br />
programme.<br />
