Big response to dog blanket drive
The Star, January 23, 2025
Animal shelter dogs have been
wrapped up in warm blankets
after the community answered
the call for bedding donations.
A post on the city council’s
Facebook page, asking for
spare blankets for its shelter
in Bromley, The Star, January saw hundreds 23, 2025 of
residents from across the city
donate items.
City council animal services
manager Lionel Bridger said the
shelter was overwhelmed with
the response.
“We had hundreds of
messages, The Star, calls January and 23, people 2025
coming into the shelter within
the first hour of the post going
up,” Bridger said.
The shelter relies on bedding
donations and had been running
low due to the current influx of
dogs.
“We The know Star, January dogs 23, are 2025 more
than just pets, and with the
generosity our community has
shown, it’s clear our residents
know that too.”
People responded to the
Facebook post from as far
away as New Plymouth and
Ashburton.
“We had donations from
organisations, including the
SPCA and Christchurch City
Mission op shop, who brought
in excess items of their own,”
Bridger said.
The City Mission donated
bags of linen, blankets, towels
and bedding that it was unable
to sell. “We’d like to say a big
thank you to everyone who
donated. The team at the shelter
– and our dogs – are blown
away by the generosity of our
community,” Bridger said.
“We are now well-stocked
with blankets for our dogs and
don’t need anything more at this
stage.”
The City Mission op shop
is still looking for blankets,
towels and bedding in excellent
condition to give to people in
need.

From helping godwits to saving
​BY GEOFF SLOAN
Tanya Jenkins loves a challenge.
The environmental advocate
is stepping down from her parttime
role at the Avon-Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai Trust after more
than 25 years.
"I've loved working for the
estuary trust but it's just time
for someone with new ideas,
and better IT skills than me to
take over."
In 2002, she helped set up
the trust to advocate for the
estuary's ecology. She was its
environmental educator.
"I've always worked part-time
so that I can volunteer the rest
of my time and do what I want
to do."
The 65-year-old said the
change will give her more time
to pursue other challenges and
volunteering projects.
Jenkins' great passion is the
estuary.
"It's the most amazing place
for me. The fact that we have
a wetland of international
significance in the middle of a
city makes it unique."
The Woolston resident
organises a range of events and
campaigns aimed at protecting
the estuary and raising
awareness of its value.
The estuary is an important
nesting site for 142 species
of birds, including some
endangered species, she said.
It serves as an internationally
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
significant stopover point for
migratory birds and is a habitat
for native species, including
godwits and oystercatchers.
Jenkins and other volunteers
have set up eight wetland
restoration projects around the
estuary.
"We're there every Sunday
afternoon weeding and doing
whatever we can."
Jenkins was 19 when she
arrived in New Zealand in 1980
from the Netherlands.
"I came for a holiday but I
just never returned. I thought
this is paradise with mountains,
oceans and wetlands, and
all these beautiful creatures.
Why would you not want to be
here?"
She said her family was
gutted when she made the
difficult phone call to tell them
she wasn't coming back.
"My mother started crying
and hung up on me."
She said they have made up
since then. She went on to have
her own family.
She said she immediately
joined environmental groups
which were enhancing
wetlands.
"I used to pick up litter in
the streets and people would
ask me what I was doing. They
thought I was looking for
cigarette butts but I said no,
whatever goes down the drains
ends up in the wetlands and
estuary."
She said her conservation
work was a way to give back to
New Zealand.
It was when her two children
went to primary school that
she realised they were not
being taught environmental
conservation.
"I thought if no one is
teaching them how to protect
the environment then we're
going to ruin it pretty quickly."
That spurred her into action.
"I did a lot of research
and, in 1992, I set up the first
environmental education
consultancy business in New
Zealand."
She voluntarily introduced
environmental lessons in
schools.
"It's now in the curriculum.
Education in schools has made
a humongous difference."
Jenkins founded Seaweek in
1992, an annual celebration
in March of marine life and
waterways.
"It started in Australia.
Someone there heard about me
and rang up asking if I could
introduce it to New Zealand. I
said sure. They said well that
makes you from today the
national co-ordinator."
The week-long event in March
features beach and waterway
clean-ups and educational
activities.
Don’t wait for an official warning.

seals for environment advocate
"It was all voluntary work but
quickly got bigger than Ben-Hur,
so I had to pass it on to another
national co-ordinator."
She said a key event was the
annual Mother of All Clean Ups,
held in April.
Jenkins helped organise
more than 1000 volunteers who
collected 600 bags of rubbish
from Christchurch's waterways
earlier this year over a single
weekend.
Among the several tonnes
of rubbish collected were
discarded TVs, microwaves, and
cushions.
She said it was disappointing
to see so little improvement in
the waterways after a decade of
running the event.
"We were always hoping
when we started that we may
make ourselves obsolete. That
was a bit too optimistic. There
will always be people who
litter, and we still have a lot to
educate."
In 1996, Jenkins founded
Marine Watch New Zealand
after watching a news item on
television.
"I saw an item about farmers
risking fines to shoot seals in
Kaikoura for dog tucker."
That angered her, and she
quickly mobilised a group of
volunteers from Christchurch
and Kaikoura to patrol the
coastline and protect the seals.
"We got the Department of
Conservation involved, and
Tanya Jenkins teaching Burwood School pupils about the estuary in 2000. Right – Jenkins with Te Raekura Redcliffs School pupils in June.
Marine Watch grew to include
injured wildlife and whale
strandings."
The organisation was taken
over by DOC and Project Jonah.
"I like to get an idea in
motion, so that other people
can take over and I can do
another project."
Jenkins also founded the
Farewell to the Godwits event,
which attracts hundreds of
people to the estuary every
March.
"It's another way of educating
the public in a fun way about
the importance of the estuary."
For more than 25 years she
has watched the birds take off
on their non-stop marathon
flight to their breeding grounds
in Alaska.
"It is the longest bird
migration in the world. That
makes them so special.”
Jenkins said funding is
getting harder and harder for
environmental groups and she
wants to help them.
"We're loosing momentum,
and that's really scary."
They need to look at other
ways of getting volunteers and
funding, she said. This includes
plans to become more involved
in Rotary International.
"They've just signed up with
the United Nations. One of their
core functions is to improve
the water quality of waterways
around the world. I thought
we want a slice of that funding
here in New Zealand.
"I'm not finished yet."

HOW TO STAND
OUT IN A FLOODED
MARKET
Spring’s rush is here—and with
it, a crowded market. Every
week, more “just listed” signs
pop up, and buyers are scrolling
through dozens of options. In
this environment, standing out
isn’t optional—it’s essential.
That’s why our approach starts
with focus. We identify the
most likely buyer for your home
and tailor the marketing to
speak directly to them. A young
family? Downsizers? First-home
buyers? We make sure your
property connects with the
right people.
We also invest in strong
marketing. Trade Me’s own
numbers show listings with
video get 40% more views
than those without. More
eyeballs mean more
competition—and competition
drives stronger offers.
And for every owner-occupied
listing, we provide a free
consultation with a
professional home styling
specialist. Their expert advice
on presentation helps ensure
your property doesn’t just look
good—it looks irresistible.
October might be crowded,
but the homes that stand out
still rise to the top. Get the
strategy right, and you won’t
just sell—you’ll sell strong.

15-year milestone for book and stationery store
Popular New Brighton book and stationery store,
Paper Plus New Brighton, is celebrating 15 years of
ownership with Blair Hughes at the helm.
Now the longest-standing owner of the business,
he took over in October 2010, just a few weeks after
the September 4th earthquake, which fortunately
didn’t impact the store.
With the February 22nd, 2011, quake, however,
“New Brighton changed drastically in an instant,”
Blair says, with many buildings and infrastructure
severely damaged on the east side of town. While
the Paper Plus store didn’t suffer damage, business
was interrupted for several weeks due to lack of
services.
Books for all ages line the shelves at Paper Plus
New Brighton
Taking on Paper Plus was quite the change of
direction for Blair, who manages the busy retail
store – he was previously a milkman, with his
business partner being his former boss. The
opportunity to purchase Paper Plus New Brighton
came up through their business connections and
they decided to go for it, a move which has proved
a great success.
By any measure, Paper Plus New Brighton is a
well-stocked store.
As Blair explains: “We have a massive range of
books, a comprehensive stationery range, our art
supplies are fantastic, and there’s also a great
range of gifts.”
The store draws local residents of all ages
throughout the year, with busier periods at certain
times.
“January and February, for example, are
especially busy with customers coming in for the
kids’ back-to-school supplies,” says Blair.
“Our extensive range of back-to-school items and
our pricing is among the best you’ll find.”
In addition to selling books and stationery, Paper
Plus New Brighton is a Post Shop and Kiwi Bank
agency, and this sector of the business is constantly
busy.
“These services bring customers from right
across the eastern suburbs,” says Blair.
“We are one of the only outlets for Kiwi Bank and
Post Shop on the east side of the city, so that brings
a lot of people into the store. We are also Travelex
and Western Union agents.”
Paper Plus New Brighton’s nine staff members are
all locals, with some having been there for all of
the 15 years, and all of them for at least five years,
though Blair wonders how they have put up with
him for that long.

Over the last 15 years, the store has undergone
two redevelopments, with the retail area extended
to accommodate an expanded range of products.
The building itself is owned by the Chan family,
who have invested a lot into the New Brighton area,
Blair says.
“They redid the car park outside our shop and
have made sure the building is well maintained.
We really couldn’t still be here without them.”
Blair has seen a lot of changes in New Brighton
over the last 15 years, and believes it is now
entering a new, more positive phase.
He says Martini Investments, owned by the
Harris Family, is spearheading a significant
redevelopment programme, which will include
retail, leisure and hospitality outlets and a village
green, while the city council will be upgrading
some of the New Brighton Mall and will be repairing
the New Brighton Bridge.

Student leads battle to bring back birdsong
​BY GEOFF SLOAN
A determined Canterbury
University student is leading a
volunteer effort to rid parts of
the city’s north-west of rats and
other predators – all to bring
back the birdsong.
Jade Humphrey grew up in
Wainuiomata surrounded by
bush and lots of birds. But when
she moved to Christchurch in
2016 to begin her PhD in geology,
she realised something was
missing.
“I noticed in Riccarton there
weren’t many birds around, but
I did see lots of rats,” Humphrey
said.
That observation spurred
her into action. Predator Free
Riccarton took flight in 2022,
after she sought advice from
local conservation groups.
“I did some research, I applied
for funding and got it off the
ground.”
The 27-year-old completed
her PhD earlier this year and
is now pursuing a postdoctoral
fellowship in earthquake science.
Despite her busy schedule, she
continues to volunteer running
Predator Free Riccarton – though
she admits it is getting harder to
find the time.
“We’re predominantly a
backyard trapping group. We
give out traps to people who are
interested in catching rats, mice
and hedgehogs.”
Predator Free Riccarton has
expanded from Riccarton to
now include the area stretching
from Hagley Park to Russley Rd,
and from Blenheim Rd up to
Jade Humphrey oversees 482 predator traps in the north-west of Christchurch.
Bryndwr. The group manages 482
traps, which includes trapping
lines in Riccarton Bush and
Canterbury University.
“At the university, we’ve got
about 150 traps that students
check every week. That includes
possum traps as well.”
She said while rats were the
main problem in Riccarton,
possums were becoming a big
issue.
“They’re coming out of Hagley
Park. We’ve caught around 40
possums over the past year
in the university trapping
program alone.”
She has even seen them turn
up in surprising places.
“They’re definitely around
the city. I’ve seen a few – I
actually saw one at Northlands
Mall when I was there a couple
months ago.”
Humphrey said in response,
they were trying to increase the
number of traps, all of which
are kill traps.
“We follow animal ethics
and guidelines, and train our
trappers to set the traps in the
best way so the animals don’t
suffer.”
She said a new initiative
was the use of carcasses by
university students for their
studies.
Humphrey said she was
looking for a volunteer to help
co-ordinate and expand their
school trapping project.
“We’ve got nine schools
currently trapping in the area
as well, and that’s all done by
students.”
She said with 25-30 primary
and high schools in the area,
there was room for expansion.
“I really want to increase the
biodiversity in our local area
and give people skills to make
a difference – and help them
connect with nature as well.”
She said Predator Free
Riccarton staff and trap
volunteers have grown to now
number in the hundreds.
However she’s putting out a
call for help from anyone with
a few hours to spare each week
to help run and co-ordinate the
programme.
“I kind-of run this mostly
on my own. We have a lot of
support from the different
groups but most of the heavy

Still, she said the effort is
making a difference.
“We can’t eradicate pests
entirely, but with the traps
we can lower their numbers
enough to keep birds in our
area safe.”
Bird numbers and diversity
are already increasing. For
Humphrey, that’s the reward.
“I want future generations
to have that same experience
I had growing up, being
connected to nature.”

Brilliant brassica bliss
Kale, cabbage and cauliflowers
— sauteed, shredded or baked.
However you like your greens,
a touch of frost makes all the
difference, writes Nigel Slater
This is a good time generally
for greens eaters. Tight, sweet
cauliflowers are around, and
offer a gentle alternative to the
more strident members of the
brassica family.
Cabbages are looking
tempting, too. Heavy to carry
home from the shops, their
many layers will provide plenty
of opportunities to eat well
throughout the coming week.
​
KALE WITH CHORIZO
AND ALMONDS
Serves 2 as a main, 4 as a side dish
INGREDIENTS
250g curly kale
250g cooking chorizo
groundnut or sunflower oil
50g skinned whole almonds
a clove of garlic, peeled and
crushed
METHOD
• Wash the kale thoroughly –
the leaves can hold grit in their
curls. Put several of the leaves
on top of one another and
shred them coarsely, discarding
the really thick ends of the
stalks as you go.
• Cut the chorizo into thick
slices. Warm a frying pan
over a moderate heat, add the
slices of chorizo and fry till the
pieces are golden. Lift them out
with a draining spoon on to a
dish lined with kitchen paper.
Discard the oil that has come
out of the chorizo and wipe the
frying pan clean.
• Add the almonds and cook
for 2 or 3 minutes till pale gold
then lift out and add to the
chorizo.
• Warm the oil in the pan,
add the crushed garlic and
shredded greens and cook for a
couple of minutes, turning the
greens over as they cook, till
glossy and starting to darken in
colour.
• Return the chorizo and
almonds to the pan, add a little
salt and continue cooking till
all is sizzling, then tip on to hot
plates.
​
CAULIFLOWER GRATIN WITH
OAT AND SUNFLOWER SEED CRUST
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
For the vegetables:
3 medium-sized onions
a clove of garlic
2 bushy sprigs of rosemary
2 Tbsp olive oil
800g cauliflower or romanesco
a handful of sprout tops or
cabbage leaves
200ml cream
100ml vegetable stock
80g deep-flavoured hard cheese
For the topping:
60g rolled oats
100g fresh white breadcrumbs
40g sunflower seeds
Set the oven at 180 deg C.
METHOD
• Peel the onions, halve and
slice them thickly
• Peel the garlic and slice it
thinly
• Pull the rosemary needles
off their stems and chop them.
• Warm the oil in a large, deep
pan, add the onions, garlic and
rosemary and let them cook
over a moderate heat for a good
15-20 minutes until the onions
are pale gold and soft. They will
need an occasional stir.
• Bring a pan of water to the
boil and lightly salt it.
• Break the cauliflower into
large florets, then slice each one
in two or three so you have lots
of flat pieces.
• Widely shred the greens.
Add the cauliflower to the
water and cook for 6-7 minutes,
or until the cauliflower is
almost tender to the point
of a skewer. Add the greens,
give them a minute then lift
everything out and drain in a
colander.
• Lightly butter a baking
dish. Tip in the lightly drained
cauliflower and greens. Season
the cream and vegetable stock
with salt and black pepper and
pour over. Grate the cheese and
scatter over, reserving a small
handful.
• To make the topping, mix
the oats, breadcrumbs and
sunflower seeds and pile on
to the vegetables. Add the
reserved cheese. Bake in the
preheated oven for 45 minutes
or so till the crust is golden
brown.
