PHOTOGENIC: Model-in-waiting Hank with Dogwatch manager Pam Howard.<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
HANK THE border collie cross<br />
is looking for a new home.<br />
And if he gets one, the twoyear-old<br />
just might feature in<br />
Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust’s<br />
calendar – but not until 2019.<br />
The trust’s 2018 calendars are<br />
now on sale, featuring rescued<br />
dogs which have been rehomed.<br />
Hank, a bright, lovely and<br />
playful animal, according to<br />
trust manager Pam Howard,<br />
has been without a home since<br />
October.<br />
Mrs Howard said many people<br />
had wanted to adopt Hank,<br />
but so far the right match hadn’t<br />
been found.<br />
Hank had been at the city<br />
council pound before arriving at<br />
the trust, and had some “quirks”<br />
she said.<br />
She described Hank as<br />
“resource guarder” – a dog<br />
that growls and snarls at other<br />

animals and people to stay away<br />
from an object it might be<br />
guarding.<br />
“He just needs an owner that<br />
understands when dogs have<br />
quirks you work with them and<br />
you don’t set them up to fail,”<br />
Mrs Howard said.<br />

WHERE A skate park will be<br />
sited between Ferrymead and<br />
Sumner has been narrowed down<br />
to four possibilities.<br />
Residents will be told of the<br />
secret sites before public consultation<br />
is opened in late January.<br />
The issue of where a skate park<br />
is located has been a hot potato<br />
for nearly two decades.<br />
So controversial is it, that<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board members have<br />
been sworn to secrecy over the<br />
possible sites until residents living<br />
near them are told.<br />
Normally outspoken board<br />
member Darrell Latham said:<br />
“Until such time as it has gone<br />
out for consultation we’ve all been<br />
advised that we can’t breach confidentiality.<br />
I’d love to be able to tell<br />
you but I’d get hung, drawn and<br />
quartered. “<br />
Another board member, Tim<br />
Lindley, echoed Dr Latham, confirming<br />
the board had discussed<br />
the list but had been advised not<br />
to talk to media: “I know what it<br />
is, I think it’s good, I think good<br />
things will come of it but we’ll just<br />
have to wait and see.”<br />

I’M A bit of a dog sort of person.<br />
Others might say I’m a dog of a bloke,<br />
and if they do, I’d probably take it as a<br />
compliment.<br />
That’s why I’ve featured the 2018 Dogwatch<br />
calendar in today’s paper.<br />
The calendar is a fundraiser for this great organisation and<br />
the canines which feature in it are ones that they have rescued<br />
and rehomed.<br />
The system works like this: The dogs which end up in council<br />
pounds have seven days to be collected. The pounds then have<br />
the unenviable job of giving them the chop or rehoming them.<br />
This is where Dogwatch comes in. If there’s room, unwanted<br />
dogs are taken in and then the search for a suitable home begins.<br />
Hank, who features on page 1, has been at Dogwatch since<br />
late October. He has a few quirks but otherwise is a lovely dog,<br />
as most border collies are.<br />
Photographer Martin Hunter said he played ball for the pic.<br />
It would be nice for Hank to have a home.<br />
Give Dogwatch a call on 981 4708.<br />
Also, if you’re a bit confused by our masthead today – Bay<br />

Chef stars in new food book<br />
FOOD FIRST: Roots Restaurant owner and chef Giulio Sturla.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
ROOTS Restaurant, chef Jonny<br />
Schwass, Otakaro Orchard,<br />
and the urban farm, Cultivate<br />
Christchurch, all feature in a<br />
new book about food.<br />
Kai and culture: Food stories<br />
from Aotearoa takes a closer<br />
look at New Zealand’s emerging<br />
food identity. It explores current<br />
trends around growing, making<br />
and eating food through essays,<br />
profiles and recipes.<br />
Chef and co-owner of Lyttelton’s<br />
multi-award-winning Roots<br />
Restaurant, Giulio Sturla, features<br />
in the book. Writer Aaron<br />
McLean tells the story of the<br />
chef’s journey to New Zealand<br />
from Chile, setting up Roots<br />
with his wife Christy five years<br />
ago, and subsequently shaking<br />
up the New Zealand food scene.<br />
Although the food served at<br />
Roots bears little resemblance to<br />
what most of us cook on an average<br />
evening, Mr Sturla said that<br />
was exactly how he liked it.<br />
He wants to create an appetite<br />
and a market for foods that<br />
aren’t readily accessible to most<br />
Kiwis – like scampi, paua, crayfish,<br />
truffles and certain types of<br />
vegetables.<br />
His argument goes like this:<br />
Because producers don’t think<br />
there is a market here, consumers<br />
end up paying export prices.<br />
“There are so many foods<br />
available in New Zealand but<br />
not for everyday people. They’re<br />
there, but they’re costly for<br />
households and many people<br />
may not even know how to get<br />
hold of them. There isn’t a 24/7<br />
farmers’ market or fish market<br />
here (for example).”<br />
He would also like Christchurch<br />
restaurants to develop more<br />
of a focus on their food.<br />
“I’d like to see smaller restaurants<br />
with an ingredient-focused<br />
kitchen – these big kitchens<br />
aren’t sustainable. Christchurch<br />
doesn’t have enough people. The<br />
only way to make them (financially<br />
viable) is through alcohol<br />
sales. Why do you have to create<br />
a big bar and hide the kitchen?<br />
I’d like to see more balance between<br />
alcohol and food. So many<br />
new places focus on the fit out,<br />
rather than making an interesting<br />
menu.”<br />
Roots was one of only eight<br />
restaurants nationally to gain<br />
the maximum three “hats” at<br />
this year’s Cuisine Good Food<br />
awards – and the only one outside<br />
Auckland.<br />
But Mr Sturla is adamant<br />
his restaurant wouldn’t work<br />
anywhere else but Lyttelton, and<br />
he plans to keep on doing exactly<br />
what he has been.<br />
Editor Emma Johnson has<br />
assembled a wide range of<br />
contributors for the book, including<br />
Dr Siouxsie Wiles, Alex<br />
Davies, Fleur Sullivan, Rebekah<br />
Graham, David White, Dr Tracy<br />
Berno, Rachel Tauelelei and<br />
Monique Fiso.<br />
Ms Johnson said she loved<br />
food and had always wanted to<br />
produce a book about it.<br />
“All the new initiatives that<br />
were springing up around the<br />
city post-earthquake, from<br />
urban farms through to markets<br />
through to restaurants like Gatherings<br />
and Roots using our local,<br />
edible resources, it just seemed<br />
to indicate people were wanting<br />
to know more about where their<br />
food was coming from.”<br />

Redcliffs<br />
fountain<br />
feature of<br />
restoration<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE DRINKING fountain in<br />
front of Barnett Park, Redcliffs,<br />
has been restored with help from<br />
some of the residents involved<br />
in its installation more than 40<br />
years ago.<br />
The fountain fell over after the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake,<br />
and has been out of action since.<br />
Now the Rotary Club of Linwood-Woolston<br />
has paid to fix<br />
the fountain, which was repaired<br />
by Willcox Plumbing last week.<br />
Redcliffs resident Neralie<br />
Brittenden approached the club<br />
three years ago after the city<br />
council told her the repairs were<br />
well down its list of priorities.<br />
She discovered one of the club’s<br />
members had a strong connection<br />
with the fountain.<br />
The club’s chairman at the<br />
time of its installation and now<br />
secretary, architect Gerald Austin,<br />
designed the original seating<br />
area where the fountain had been<br />
placed in the early 1970s.<br />
The original fountain was<br />
installed by Jack Willcox, of<br />
Willcox Plumbing, who was also<br />
a club member. He was helped<br />
out by his son Barry.<br />
Jack died earlier this year,<br />
and this time, it was Barry who<br />
helped repair the fountain.<br />
The Rotary club also put in<br />
new seating several months ago.<br />
Mr Austin said the club has<br />
had a long association with Barnett<br />
Park.<br />
“In the good old days, we used<br />
to have a fair, which was a great<br />
occasion. We planted trees down<br />
the bottom of the park, which<br />
are now grown, so we do have a<br />
connection.”<br />

Doggone good calendars<br />
•From page 1<br />
Hank is one of 12 dogs the<br />
trust is currently trying to<br />
rehome.<br />
In a bid to continue rehoming<br />
abandoned dogs, the trust has<br />
teamed up with Community<br />
Energy Action to create the 2018<br />
calendar.<br />
The calendar’s message focuses<br />
on raising awareness about the<br />
rescuing and rehoming of abandoned<br />
dogs and aims to educate<br />
people about energy efficiency.<br />
“It is a combined effort that<br />
has gone down very well. Some<br />
dogs just do not cope with cold<br />
weather,” Mrs Howard said.<br />
The trust has been producing<br />
calendars since about 2011.<br />
Funds raised go towards the<br />
operation of the rescue centre.<br />
“We have always had huge<br />
support from the community but<br />
this year we were sponsored by<br />
CEA. They have done a fantastic<br />
job,” Mrs Howard said.<br />
Dogwatch is a charitable trust<br />
which rescues and rehomes dogs<br />
and puppies that have ended up<br />
in the Christchurch, Selwyn and<br />
Waimakariri pounds.<br />
After a seven-day holding<br />
period, the council becomes the<br />
legal owner and either rehomes<br />
the dog or puts it down.<br />
If no one claims the dog, Dogwatch<br />
is contacted and if it has<br />
kennel space, the dog is taken<br />
into its care.<br />
•Calendars are available for<br />
purchase online at www.<br />

Trust ‘couldn’t believe’ Christmas generosity<br />
FESTIVE: June Wilson (left), trust co-ordinator Betty Chapman<br />
and trust patron Margaret Austin enjoying the Christmas party.<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
CHICKEN, HAM, eggs, salad,<br />
crackers and make-up samples<br />
were among the items donated<br />
to a community trust’s annual<br />
Christmas party on Wednesday.<br />
Wainoni Avonside Community<br />
Services Trust co-ordinator Betty<br />
Chapman said she “couldn’t believe<br />
how generous people were.”<br />
The party was attended by 70<br />
people from 12 different groups<br />
run by the trust throughout the<br />
year.<br />
Mrs Chapman said she has<br />
never received so much support.<br />
“People have come out of the<br />
woodwork, and you should see<br />
this bench – it’s full of food,” she<br />
said.<br />
Mrs Chapman said the party,<br />
which took two weeks to plan,<br />
was about spreading joy.<br />
“Companionship and being<br />
happy . . . it sounds simple but it’s<br />
true, that’s what’s important.”<br />

Secrecy over skate park sites<br />
Tim Lindley<br />
•From page 1<br />
The need for a skate facility in<br />
the Sumner/Redcliffs area was<br />
first recognised by the city council<br />
as far back as 2000.<br />
In November 2009, a concept<br />
plan for a bike and skate<br />
area in Barnett Park,<br />
Redcliffs met with strong<br />
opposition from some of<br />
the community.<br />
The Hagley-Ferrymead<br />
Community Board<br />
visited 15 potential sites<br />
within the park, before<br />
asking for further community<br />
consultation on the plan.<br />
The September 2010 and February<br />
2011 earthquakes halted the<br />
project due to no further funding<br />
being available.<br />
In October, 2014, clothing<br />
giant Levi’s approached the city<br />
council, offering to put $180,000<br />
towards constructing a skate park<br />
in Christchurch.<br />
Sumner was confirmed as a<br />
good place, but 10 months later,<br />
the company had retracted its offer,<br />
saying it was taking too long<br />
to gain resource consent.<br />
In February this year a temporary<br />
skate ramp at 36 Wakefield<br />
Ave was shut down when it failed<br />
to comply with the city plan’s<br />
noise standards.<br />
But last week resource<br />
consent was granted for<br />
the ramp to be installed at<br />
<strong>26</strong> Nayland St.<br />
Sumner Skate and Green<br />
spokeswoman Kimberley<br />
Mossman said a group of<br />
volunteers would get it up<br />
and running by February.<br />
As a condition of the consent, it<br />
must be locked outside the hours<br />
of 7am to 9pm.<br />
Consultation on the shortlist of<br />
sites for a permanent skate park<br />
will be from January 29 to February<br />
<strong>26</strong>.<br />
A Community workshop is<br />
planned for February 12.<br />
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board will<br />
make a decision on a permanent<br />
skate park site in April/May.<br />
Pipeline construction to begin soon<br />
CONSTRUCTION OF two<br />
submarine pipelines to carry<br />
wastewater from Governors<br />
Bay and Diamond Harbour to<br />
Lyttelton will begin in February.<br />
The 5km and 1.8km pipelines<br />
are part of a $53 million scheme<br />
that will end the discharge of<br />
treated wastewater into Lyttelton<br />
Harbour by 2021.<br />
Currently, wastewater from<br />
Lyttelton, Governors Bay and<br />
Diamond Harbour is treated<br />
before being discharged through<br />
outfall pipelines into the harbour.<br />
Under the new scheme<br />
untreated wastewater from<br />
Governors Bay and Diamond<br />
Harbour will be carried through<br />
the submarine pipelines to a new<br />
pump station on Simeon Quay<br />
in Lyttelton.<br />
It will then be piped through<br />
the Lyttelton Tunnel to the<br />
Ferrymead pump station and<br />
onto the Bromley wastewater<br />
treatment plant, where it will<br />
be treated. From there it will be<br />
discharged out to sea through<br />
the Christchurch Ocean Outfall.<br />
City council service general<br />
manager David Adamson said<br />
the pipelines will be buried<br />
about 1m deep into the seabed,<br />
which is sufficiently deep to<br />
prevent anchors catching or the<br />
pipes being damaged in storms,<br />
tsunamis or earthquakes.<br />
“Construction of the marine<br />
pipelines will involve pre-fabrication<br />
of pipe strings onshore<br />
before they are joined together<br />
and bottom-pulled out to the<br />
required location. A backhoe<br />
dredger will then be employed<br />
MOVING ON:<br />
Wastewater<br />
discharges<br />
into Lyttelton<br />
Harbour will<br />
be a thing of<br />
the past by<br />
2021.<br />
to excavate the trench, lower<br />
the pipeline and backfill it,’’ Mr<br />
Adamson said.<br />
Contractors McConnell<br />
Dowell have built several marine<br />
outfall pipes, including the<br />
Christchurch Ocean Outfall<br />
eight years ago.<br />
On-site work being done by<br />
NZTA installing the wastewater<br />
line through the Lyttelton Tunnel<br />
was recently delayed with<br />
problems manufacturing the<br />
overseas-made pipe.<br />
But this will not affect the<br />
construction of the harbour<br />
pipelines, which are expected to<br />
be completed by early 2019.<br />

thrill pre-schoolers<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
CHILDREN ACROSS Canterbury<br />
received a Christmas surprise in the mail<br />
– a personalised letter from the big man<br />
in the red suit.<br />
The letters from Santa Claus travelled all<br />
the way from the North Pole to children<br />
in Canterbury.<br />
The Cat’s Pyjamas Preschool and<br />
Nursery in West Melton was one of<br />
thousands of pre-schools and primary<br />
schools in New Zealand to receive the<br />
letters.<br />
Children from the pre-school’s<br />
inventors, adventure and navigator<br />
classrooms had their letters handed out at<br />
its Christmas concert.<br />
With a bit of help from New Zealand<br />
<strong>Post</strong>, Santa sent about 73,000 letters to<br />
children from 1102 schools and early<br />
childhood education centres across the<br />
country.<br />
The Cat’s Pyjamas Preschool and<br />
Nursery owner Tracy Summerfield said<br />
the children were “blown away” and<br />
appreciated the nice gesture from New<br />
FROM LAW at Oxford University to<br />
long-standing deputy head at<br />
The Cathedral Grammar School,<br />
Penny Tattershaw (right) will<br />
now take on the role of principal<br />
at St Michael’s Church School.<br />
Ms Tattershaw, who was most<br />
recently Cathedral Grammar<br />
deputy head, will bring a varied<br />
background to her new position<br />
at the central city school.<br />
She trained at Exeter University<br />
School of Education after finishing a<br />
law degree at the iconic Oxford University<br />
in the United Kingdom.<br />
Zealand <strong>Post</strong>. She said being given the<br />
opportunity to write letters to Santa was<br />
great for the children’s literacy skills.<br />
Hatchimals, dolls, toy tractors, trucks,<br />
racing cars and rugby-themed toys<br />
were popular requests made to Santa by<br />
children at the pre-school.<br />
LOL Surprise Dolls, Baby Alive<br />
Dolls, Nerf guns and TV character toys<br />
from the films Frozen and PAW Patrol<br />
were common requests from children<br />
nationwide.<br />
But as Santa reminded them in his<br />
letter: “Christmas is more than just about<br />
presents. Its about celebrating with your<br />
friends and family.”<br />
New Zealand <strong>Post</strong> has been helping<br />
letters get to and from Santa for the past<br />
19 years.<br />
A New Zealand <strong>Post</strong> spokeswoman<br />
said it wanted to bring joy to people at<br />
Christmas and help keep the magic of<br />
Santa alive.<br />
“Receiving a letter from Santa is a<br />
magical moment for a child and being<br />
a postal business we can play a role in<br />
facilitating that moment,” she said.<br />
Cathedral Grammar deputy<br />
takes reins at St Michael’s<br />
She then began her 25-year teaching<br />
career in the independent schools’<br />
sectors across the UK and New<br />
Zealand.<br />
“It is a privilege to be entrusted<br />
by parents with the task of providing<br />
their child with the essential<br />
foundation for their education, their<br />
foundation for life,” Ms Tattershaw<br />
said.<br />
She is also a keen sportswoman,<br />
having played hockey and water<br />
polo up to international level in her youth.<br />
She is now kept busy as senior coach with<br />
the Harewood Hockey Club.<br />

TOMATO AND BASIL SALAD<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 tsp salt<br />
1 telegraph cucumber<br />
1 tsp sugar<br />
1 tsp fresh dill (chopped)<br />
1 tsp fresh mint (chopped)<br />
16 mussels<br />
3 tomatoes<br />
1 basil<br />
1 olive oil<br />
Directions<br />
Thinly slice the cucumber.<br />
Place on a plate and scatter with<br />
the salt, sugar, dill and mint.<br />
Leave to cure for two hours then<br />
pat dry before serving with the<br />
salad. Scrub the mussels, remove<br />
any beards then steam until just<br />
open. Chop into quarters. Slice<br />
the tomatoes then arrange with<br />
the cucumber and mussels on a<br />
platter. Scatter with basil leaves<br />

BARBECUE RUMP STEAK<br />
WITH SMOKY RED<br />
CAPSICUM SAUCE<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 roasted red capsicums, peeled,<br />
seeded and chopped<br />
½ red onion, chopped<br />
¼ cup chopped parsley<br />
4 cloves garlic, chopped<br />
¼ cup red wine vinegar<br />
¼ cup red wine<br />
1 Tbsp honey<br />
1 Tbsp dijon mustard<br />
1 Tbsp smoked paprika<br />
1 red chilli, finely diced<br />
½ cup olive oil<br />
4 pieces of rump steak<br />
1 serving oil, for grilling<br />
Directions<br />
To roast the capsicum, place it<br />
straight on to the flames in the<br />
barbecue and rotate until all of<br />
the outside is blackened. Place in<br />
a plastic bag and tie a knot in the<br />
top to make the capsicum sweat<br />
so the skin is easier to remove.<br />
Mix together all of the sauce<br />
ingredients and season with salt<br />
and pepper to taste.<br />
Remove the steaks from the<br />
fridge and allow to come to room<br />
temperature. Heat your barbecue<br />
to a medium to high heat.<br />
Pat the steaks dry and season<br />
well with salt and pepper.<br />
Cook on the barbecue turning<br />
only once during the cooking<br />
process. Cook for 4min on each<br />
side for medium rare. Remember<br />
to rest your meat, then serve it<br />
with a generous amount of the<br />
capsicum sauce.<br />

Charities get proceeds from<br />
Eastgate present wrapping<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE PRESENT wrapping<br />
booth at Eastgate Shopping<br />
Centre offered something a bit<br />
different for busy Christmas<br />
shoppers this year.<br />
It was run by charities, which<br />
supplied volunteers to wrap<br />
presents for a gold coin donation<br />
– all of which went to help the<br />
cause.<br />
Last week the SPCA was running<br />
the booth, but centre manager<br />
Monique Burke said there<br />
had been various other groups<br />
involved at different times.<br />
“We have had Plunket, Aviva<br />
Family Violence Services, the<br />
Canterbury Charity Hospital<br />
and the City to Sumner Community<br />
Watch patrol. We like<br />
to help charities as much as we<br />
can; this was a way to provide<br />
a service to customers and the<br />
money goes to a good cause.”<br />
The centre provided the<br />
wrapping paper, tape and<br />
scissors, while the actual<br />
wrapping itself was done by<br />
charity volunteers.<br />
Most of the charities involved<br />
had worked with the shopping<br />
centre throughout the year,<br />
said Miss Burke. The booth has<br />
GIFTING: Volunteers from the Canterbury SPCA offered<br />
Christmas present wrapping at Eastgate Shopping Centre.<br />
become a tradition at the centre,<br />
and is the only one of its type<br />
to offer present wrapping as a<br />
charity fundraiser.<br />
While Miss Burke couldn’t say<br />
how much money each charity<br />
raised, it was an opportunity<br />
they appreciated, she said.<br />
New beachside playground<br />
makes a splash in Brighton<br />
Hundreds turned out for the opening of the New Brighton<br />
seaside playground on Wednesday. The playground is the first<br />
of several initiatives aimed at revitalising the suburb.<br />
Multi-million dollar beachside hot pools are scheduled to open<br />
late next year and changes to the commercial area are in the<br />
pipeline.<br />
