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 />

COMMUNITY NEWS<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 />

Harbour News, <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong>, Southern View – it’s because we’ve<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 />

links to<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 />

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 />

and pepper to taste.<br />

Remove the steaks from the<br />

fridge and allow to come to room<br />

temperature. Heat your barbecue<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 />
