Food 

budget 

slashed 

for board 

meetings 

• By Anan Zaki 

A COMMUNITY board has cut 

back on its food spend after a 

meeting behind closed doors. 

In a public-excluded meeting 

on November 13, the Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board agreed to halve the food 

budget for its fortnightly board 

meetings. 

Board deputy chairwoman 

Helen Broughton said the board’s 

catering budget will be reduced 

from $174 to $85 per meeting. 

The Star revealed last month 

that community boards across 

the city spent nearly $50,000 on 

ratepayer-funded catering since 

2016/17. 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board was the 

biggest spender, with more than 

spent $10,000 food this term. 

Catering included chicken 

nibbles, sandwiches and 

savouries. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

refused to comment about Tuesday’s 

decision. He has previously 

defended the catering. 

Ms Broughton said the debate 

on food has created “a lot of 

tension.”

THE SECRETIVE Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board has emerged 

from behind closed doors with a major 

announcement: “We’ve halved our food 

intake on the ratepayer.” 

Well, they didn’t quite make that statement, but as we reveal 

on page 1 today, the ratepayer-funded catering budget for its 

meetings has been cut from $174 to $85 a meeting. And the reason 

for that is the publicity over how much community boards were 

spending on food for its meetings. 

The Star part of the Star Media stable, which includes Western 

News, revealed the costs a few weeks ago. Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board was the highest spender. 

They didn’t need to go behind closed doors to discuss it. 

But it has given this rolling story plenty of bite!

WRA didn’t know of chairman’s role 


A RESIDENTS’ group fighting 

to stop the Fulton Hogan quarry 

near Templeton didn’t know its 

chairman was on a community 

advisory group set up by the 

company. 

Weedons Residents’ Association 

chairman John McKim is 

one of seven members of the 

advisory group. 

The group is part of developing 

information for Fulton 

Hogan’s resource consent application 

for its controversial 

quarry between Templeton and 

Weedons. 

A meeting was held between 

Mr McKim and other committee 

members after Western News 

revealed his involvement in the 

group. 

Western News also revealed 

that Ian Walsh, a resident who 

lived 3km from the proposed 

quarry site, was part of the 

group which drew criticism 

from Weedons residents. 

The make-up of the remaining 

five advisory group members has 

been kept secret by Fulton Hogan, 

which still refuses to release 

them on privacy grounds. 

Mr McKim’s role in the 

advisory group initially drew 

criticism from Weedons residents 

who were not aware of his 

CONCERNED: Weedons resident Simon Moore says Fulton 

Hogan should not have said the Weedons Residents’ 

Association is part of the company’s community advisory 

group.

involvement in the group. 

Mr McKim did not respond to 

repeated requests for comment. 

WRA committee member 

Simon Moore was initially 

concerned about Mr McKim 

not disclosing his role in the 

advisory group. 

After the meeting with Mr 

McKim, Mr Moore was satisfied 

with the chairman’s explanation 

that he was part of the advisory 

group as an individual. 

“Prior to [the Western News 

article], I had no idea that he was 

attending these meetings and as 

far as I am concerned if he was 

attending as an individual, that’s 

his business and I couldn’t care 

less, that’s his right,” Mr Moore 

said. 

“It is my firm understanding 

that the WRA totally opposes 

such a quarry, and the attendance 

of the chair at these meetings 

should in no way been seen 

as an endorsement of this foolish 

and reckless proposal. He went 

there as an individual,” he said. 

WRA secretary Gary Doyle 

said Mr McKim told residents 

he did not represent the WRA at 

the advisory group. 

Mr Doyle criticised Fulton 

Hogan for saying the residents’ 

association engaged with the 

advisory group instead of just 

Mr McKim. 

“He went there as an individual 

but that doesn’t mean he is a 

representative,” Mr Doyle said. 

Mr Doyle also said at the last 

WRA meeting that Mr McKim 

and Mr Doyle both announced 

they would step down as chairman 

and secretary early next 

year. 

It was unrelated to the controversy 

from the Fulton Hogan 

advisory group, Mr Doyle said. 

Since the controversy arose, 

Fulton Hogan South Island general 

manager Craig Stewart said 

at the first meeting the advisory 

group agreed how it functioned. 

“At this meeting, it was agreed 

that the members of the group 

participated as individuals and 

participation does not alter or 

limit their ability to participate 

in the resource consent process,” 

Mr Stewart said.

Veterinary practice 

WHERE WE HAVE BEEN AND 

WHERE WE ARE HEADING……. 

Fun in the sun at 

Canty A&P Show 

SUNSHINE: Two-year-old 

Scarlett Hill from Hoon Hay loved 

the chickens at the Canterbury 

A&P Show on Thursday, 

meanwhile Burnside High School 

student, and Avonhead resident, 

Jood Almutairi was giving minigolf 

a go. 

PHOTOS: JULIA EVANS 

McMaster & Heap Vets officially started 

nearly 20 years ago on 1st April 1999 (April 

Fools Day). Steve and I had wanted our 

own Practice because we wanted to work 

together to create something special and 

because we wanted to be present at all our 

sons sports fixtures and school events and 

not miss out on a single thing they were 

doing. I grew up with parents that showed 

up to everything which I loved so I wanted 

our boys to experience that childhood. 

We had a choice of three Practices to buy, 

and looking back definitely made the right 

choice. Little did we know it was the start of 

something really great. 

The initial Practice was 

an old converted house 

situated in our present 

day carpark. It was then 

named Rozens Vet Clinic. 

It was small but worked 

okay initially until we grew 

and we were constantly 

running out of cages to 

house all our patients. Cats 

were in cages in the vets 

office and dogs tied up in 

the treatment room. Our 

very first day Steve and I 

worked 12 hours straight. 

Our first clients were 

people we still see now 

almost 20 years later, 

with their children and 

grandchildren now clients 

of ours. We had just three nurses initially who 

worked part time hours. We operated on a 

card system and were forever losing cards 

thanks to a dyslexic nurse who didn’t know 

she was dyslexic. Every time it rained our 

entire carpark flooded and we had families of 

ducks taking up residence. Our cattery was 

in the garage. Our sterile surgery was the 

size of a bathroom and we processed xrays 

in the toilet. There was no noise control or 

ventilation – pet hates of Steve’s. Our two 

young sons, Connor (now 21) and Dylan 

(now 18) were often seen playing Thomas 

the Tank engine trains in the waiting room 

entertaining the clients. We were a family 

and we absolutely loved it. Our boys only 

have fond memories of our Practice and our 

early days starting out. 

We worked hard, every weekend in fact, and 

fairly quickly built up a strong loyal following 

of clients. Steve seeing Ophthalmology 

referrals also increased clients through our 

doors. We saw our clients out of hours, in 

weekends and clients without appointments 

could just walk in without much of a wait. We 

loved solving peoples problems and treating 

their pets and we felt privileged to be in the 

position we were – we made a real difference 

and we got huge satisfaction from doing so. 

We both knew this was what we were meant 

to be doing. I remember being a three year 

old and only ever wanting to Practice as a 

vet. I grew up on a small farm in Halswell 

surrounded by all sorts of animals and I 

ended up with my own flock of pet lambs. 

My dads best friend was Dave Marshall 

(Marshall and Pringle Vets) and he was very 

influential at fostering my love and passion 

for animals from a very early age. From age 

five I saw Practice with Dave and never once 

thought about being anything else. 

We realised our clinic was outgrowing us 

fast so as soon as the house next door 

came up for sale we 

purchased it. We moved 

into our current building 

in 2008 and its been a 

wonderful practice to 

work in – spacious, light, 

well ventilated and well 

designed. It has allowed 

us to treat and care for 

patients properly, see a 

lot more patients and 

attract quality staff. We 

have grown a lot since 

those early days with 

seven vets, 13 nursing 

staff and one practice 

manager. 

So this comes to an 

exciting piece of news. 

We have just been 

granted council consent 

to add a large new addition to our existing 

Practice, allowing us to provide more 

veterinary services and have more room to 

work in. Believe it or not we are running out 

of consult rooms, operating theatres and 

dog hospitalisation facilities. The proposed 

building is being tendered now and should 

start work early next year. 

We feel we have a very good reputation for 

providing excellent professional services 

and care to patients in our community. We 

are never complacent and always strive 

to be better and do things differently. We 

always want to welcome people through our 

doors because we truly believe we will help 

them and their pets. We care about all our 

people. We will always be a privately owned 

family business providing the best care and 

treatment possible, excellent communication, 

flexibility and understanding of our clients 

situation and show kindness and respect to 

pets and people. 

We firmly believe if you GIVE lots you receive 

LOTS. 

We will keep you posted on all the new 

exciting developments.

More time to save memorial hall 


YALDHURST residents now 

have until April to come up with 

a business case to save their 

memorial hall. 

The Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board 

backed a plea from residents 

to give them additional time 

to investigate the feasibility 

of restoring the Yaldhurst 

Memorial Hall. The board voted 

on it last Tuesday. 

City council staff 

recommended demolishing the 

64-year-old war 

memorial hall 

on Pound Rd 

at an estimated 

cost of $50,000 to 

$75,000. 

Residents 

have been in 

Mike Mora 

discussion to 

save the hall with 

the city council since last year, 

but believe a business plan to 

restore it is needed before a final 

decision. 

The hall has been closed since 

it was damaged in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

Yaldhurst Memorial Hall 

Committee member Michelle 

Clark was “grateful” for the 

board’s decision to give them 

more time. “It’s wonderful that 

LIMBO: Yaldhurst residents have been given more time to 

look at ways to save their memorial hall. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

the community board has given 

the extension,” Miss Clark said. 

City council staff proposed to 

remove memorial plaques from 

the hall before demolishing the 

building. 

But Miss Clark said the 

memorial is the building, not the 

plaques. 

“The plaques inside, although 

forming part of the memorial, 

the hall itself is actually the 

memorial.” 

The land was gifted by the 

Yaldhurst community to the city 

council for guardianship, Miss 

Clark said. With the additional 

time given to Yaldhurst 

residents, they will look to find 

out the cost of repair. 

“Added to that, we want 

to work out where we can 

raise money if we can’t get 

commitment from council or 

local sources,” Miss Clark said. 

City council staff said 

repairing the hall would cost 

$1.5 million. But residents want 

to see if it could be done for less. 

“We’re pragmatic that the 

council has many financial 

concerns, but in this case, 

we think in the 100-year 

anniversary of Armistice Day to 

pull down a memorial without 

knowing the true cost of repair 

. . . is a rushed decision,” Miss 

Clark said. 

Last year, the community 

board voted to demolish the 

hall, but it reversed its position 

to for more consultation with 

residents. 

Community board chairman 

Mike Mora said board members 

felt additional time was required 

by residents. 

Mr Mora supports the 

restoration of the hall. 

He said the hall was one of 

many council-owned buildings 

that were under-insured by the 

city council at the time of the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

There is no budget to restore 

the hall. 

Board member Debbie 

Mora successfully requested 

that residents get access to the 

building. 

Miss Clark said this would 

allow for engineers to inspect the 

hall for their business case.

Quarry meeting didn’t put mind at ease 

Templeton 

resident 

Jolene Eagar 

has her say on 

the proposed 

quarry after 

visiting a 

Fulton Hogan 

information evening last 

week 

IF EMPLOYERS are responsible 

to support their staff against 

bullying, who is responsible to 

protect a community? 

There is a significant imbalance 

of power when you try to stand 

up against a company like Fulton 

Hogan. 

Many have tried unsuccessfully, 

with no, or very little support, 

from anyone not personally 

affected by resource consent 

applications. 

What an unfair and unequal 

process. 

No wonder Fulton Hogan is 

taking advantage of the opportunity, 

never mind it comes at the 

expense of a community. 

To say we have made our stance 

against the proposed quarry on 

Dawsons Rd clear from the beginning 

in January, when Fulton 

Hogan made the announcement, 

is an understatement. 

And I fully believe that had 

we not taken this public stance 

against the quarry, Fulton Hogan 

would not have spent all these 

months and money to try and 

mitigate the risks. 

Risks we don’t want mitigated, 

but rather eliminated. And what 

better way to eliminate than not 

have a quarry in the proposed 

location on Dawsons Rd at all. 

Beginning of 2018, my knowledge 

about quarry operations was 

non-existent. Apart from driving 

past that ugly mess in front of 

Christchurch Men’s Prison, I had 

no understanding about what 

goes on inside those fences. 

Boy did my life change. And 

it was not only my life that 

changed, a whole community had 

to try and get their heads around 

the technical aspects and dangers 

of quarries. Imagine us learning 

in a couple of months (while still 

managing work and family life) 

what the Fulton Hogan experts 

spent years studying. 

How do you compete against 

that? There is just no contest. 

I recently had the opportunity 

to meet some of the Fulton Hogan 

management team as well as 

their experts. 

What an eye-opener when one 

of the managers tried to explain 

an online dashboard to me by 

saying: “Data goes up into the 

cloud and then it comes back 

down again.” How patronising. 

NO QUARRY: 

Residents have 

been fighting a 

long battle to 

stop a Fulton 

Hogan quarry 

being built near 

Templeton. 

Do they really think that they 

are intellectually that superior to 

the Templeton residents? 

I asked the noise expert: 

“How much noise does a quarry 

make?” to which he immediately 

answered: “A lot,” just to tell me 

a few minutes later that I will be 

able to walk my dog right next to 

the proposed quarry and I will 

barely hear anything. 

Keeping in mind he was not 

referring to the 1000-plus trucks 

that will be driving up and down 

our roads. Apparently working 

in a 10m deep hole makes all the 

difference. 

I walked away having a better 

understanding of what 

Fulton Hogan is proposing but 

concerned about the conflicting 

information provided by different 

people. It seemed as if there is a 

lack of commitment at this stage 

still around certain decisions and 

they were keeping their options 

open. 

As an ‘affected person’ I was 

expecting a more decisive approach 

seeing that Fulton Hogan 

was there to give us information 

about their proposed plans. 

I understand the RMA process 

and that ongoing consultation and 

conditions will affect the outcome, 

but to expect us to just take their 

word that the best solutions will 

be followed is asking more than 

what I’m willing to give. 

It’s interesting how a meeting 

that, from their perspective, was 

supposed to put my mind at ease 

had the exact opposite effect. 

Suddenly it became all too 

real for me. Now I can picture 

to a certain extent what they are 

proposing and it’s worse than 

anything I imagined.

Putting life back into Ilam Stream 


A GROUP of residents are a 

step closer to bringing the Ilam 

Stream back to life. 

The Network of the Ilam 

Stream, made up of residents 

wanting to revive the stream, are 

lobbying to improve its water 

flow. 

The stream runs above ground 

in the city at Avonhead Park 

and goes through suburban 

Avonhead and Ilam before 

joining the Avon River in Ilam 

gardens. 

The stream is sourced from 

springs and the Waimakariri 

river water race system but it is 

often dry for most of the year, 

residents say. 

Two years ago, the water 

flow has stopped on Colina St, 

Avonhead due to a leak. 

Network of the Ilam Stream 

treasurer Bill Carroll says fixing 

the leak is another step towards 

achieving the residents “dream” 

– to have a constant water flow 

through the Ilam Stream. 

Last week, the city council 

fixed the leak but have no plans 

to work on a permanent water 

flow. 

“We’ve been lobbying to get 

the leak fixed because the water 

doesn’t get to the end of the 

stream in the Ilam Gardens,” Mr 

Carroll said. 

Network of the Ilam Stream 

proposes the city council uses 

one of its bores in Avonhead 

Park to draw water for the 

stream. 

The current springs and water 

race system is not enough to 

have a continuous flow, Mr Carroll 

said. 

He said if the residents’ wishes 

for the Ilam Stream come true, it 

would be more valued by locals. 

“[We hope] there will be public 

places where people can walk 

along it and enjoy it,” Mr Carroll 

said. 

City council manager land 

drainage Keith Davison said the 

council does not have plans to 

“augment” the supply of water in 

the Ilam Stream. 

Said Mr Davison: “You may 

remember that only a couple 

of years back many rivers and 

streams around Canterbury 

dried up.” 

“Discussions were held with 

Environment Canterbury and

Royds. 

agreement was reached then that 

we would not be augmenting 

supply,” Mr Davison said. 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board chairman 

Sam MacDonald backed 

the residents wish for a continuous 

water flow. 

“There’s no point having it [the 

stream] there if there is no water 

flow. The staff aren’t that keen on 

it but that’s not their decision,” 

he said. 

But a solution wont happen 

overnight, Mr MacDonald said.

Now 

Subdivision 

speed limit 

reduced to 

40km/h 



THE SPEED limit in Halswell’s 

Knights Stream subdivision will 

be reduced to 40km/h. 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board voted 

on the new speed limit last week 

after a city council staff recommendation. 

A city council report 

said residents in the subdivision 

had raised concerns about the 

existing limit of 50 km/h. 

The reduced speed limit will be 

in force by the end of January. 

The city council received 88 

submissions about the speed 

limit changes. 

Sixty-five per cent supported 

a 40 km/h speed limit, two per 

cent partially or conditionally 

supported it, and 33 per cent opposed 

the change. 

The city council report said 

residents were concerned about 

cars parked on both sides of 

streets, making them narrow. 

The Halswell Residents’ Association 

supported the change, 

but asked for consistency across 

the suburb. It said residents were 

frustrated by the variety of speed 

limits around Halswell and called 

for more enforcement.

Another First, 3D 

Digital Dentures 

WESTERN NEWS 

from Duchenne 

Not ones to follow the pack, Duchenne 

Denture Specialists have always been a 

company of firsts: 

- First to bring to you Duchenne’s Digital 

3D Denture system 

- First to introduce suction dentures to New 

Zealand 

- The only state-of-the-art laboratory of its 

kind in New Zealand 

- First to bring the injection moulding 

technique to NZ. A process that gives 

greater strength and a superior fit to their 

denture products. 

John Batchelor, founder and owner of 

Duchenne, has long been at the forefront 

of this industry, and has been working with 

international software companies such as 

3Shape to develop cutting-edge technology 

since 2012. 

Now, once again, Duchenne are excited 

to be bringing the latest advances in 3D 

Denture Technology to the South Island. 

Over the past three years there have been 

major breakthroughs in printing and 

milling dental technology, which allow 

us to 3D print a preliminary denture that 

patients can literally take home and try. 

Patients are more involved in the process 

and can see their dentures on screen 

before they are made. This technology also 

produces a final denture that is superior to 

anything that has come before. 

They are currently the only company in 

the South Island to use this process – a 

significant step ahead as it offers superior 

fit and strength. A denture produced on 

the PM7, when used in conjunction with 

Dr Abe’s Suction Effective Mandibular 

technique, produces the most comfortable 

and high performance denture currently 

available. 

John Batchelor is one of only 35 trainers 

world-wide in this technique, and the only 

one in New Zealand. He and his team at 

Duchenne Denture Services are proud to be 

able to offer you this leading technology.

Toy library celebrates 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

FOR 30 years the Waimairi 

Toy Library has been a 

mainstay for everything 

from board games to 

bicycles. 

The library, based in 

Burnside, marked the 

milestone with a family 

fun day last week. 

Library co-chairwoman 

Vicki Lynch said making 

sure all children had access 

to good quality toys was 

essential. 

“Having the toy library 

means every child has 

access to quality toys, 

regardless of whether their 

parents can afford to buy 

toys, and regardless of their 

background,” she said. 

She said hiring toys 

rather than buying them 

was a great way to preserve 

the environment. 

“The good thing about 

hiring toys is that it’s better 

for the environment 

because you’re not buying 

junky stuff and then 

throwing it out. It’s saving 

a lot of toys from landfill.” 

Toy librarian Annabel 

Sim said it was a “fantastic 

asset” to the community. 

“We say it’s like Christmas 

every two weeks. 

Quite a lot of parents actually 

come to the library 

without their kids to get 

out toys, then they’ll go 

home and the next day the 

kids wake up and go: ‘Oh 

my gosh, look at these new 

toys’.” 

Ms Sim said the most 

popular toys were often not 

what people thought. 

“Last year our most 

popular toy, believe it or 

not, was a recycling truck. 

It was only in the library 

about two or three weeks 

of the year,” she said. 

She said her favourite 

part of working at the toy 

library was getting to “test” 

the new toys that came in. 

“I love being able to play 

with all the toys before 

anyone else gets them. All 

the toys get delivered to my 

place, so my kids get to be 

toy testers.”

Bid to conserve water over summer 

THE CITY council has warned 

too much water use this summer 

could slow down its well-head 

upgrade work and lead to water 

shortages and a reduced capacity 

to fight fires. 

As the temperature climbs, 

the city council is encouraging 

residents to start doing their 

bit to conserve water and help 

reduce demand on the district’s 

water supply network. 

Water Supply Improvement 

Programme manager Helen 

Beaumont said the issue wasn’t 

the amount of water available or 

the size of the supply network, 

but rather the network’s ability to 

deliver water when usage spiked. 

“When demand for water 

is high, we can only supply so 

much through the network. The 

pumps, pipes and reservoirs can 

only deliver a certain amount 

of water at any one time, and if 

people use too much while we 

have wells off-line for upgrades, 

there could be a pressure loss 

in the system, shortages, or not 

enough to fight fires. 

“Ninety-five per cent of the 

time, we only need to use about 

half of the wells and pump 

stations available in the network. 

It’s only a problem at times 

during summer, when demand 

for water is at its highest.” 

SAVE: The city council is encouraging hand-held watering only for lawns and gardens on 

alternate days between 9pm and 7am in a bid to save water. (Right) – The new water dial found 

at ccc.govt.nz/wateruse shows Christchurch’s residential water use for the previous day. 

Ms Beaumont said the district’s 

water use was already higher 

than this time last year so it 

was important people got the 

message now. 

“We need people to come on 

board with the campaign to 

conserve our water. We don’t 

Super deals 

want to impose restrictions, we 

want to give people a chance to 

change their thinking and make 

some small changes now to their 

water usage. 

As part of its conservation 

campaign, the city council has 

created an online water dial – 

available at ccc.govt.nz/wateruse 

– which shows the city’s daily 

water usage against the target for 

summer. 

The city council is encouraging 

hand-held watering only for 

lawns and gardens on alternate 

days between 9pm and 7am, 

reducing laundry loads, and 

keeping personal showers to 

5min. 

Ms Beaumont said water usage 

this summer would have a big 

impact on the city council’s 

ability to upgrade its well-heads 

and end chlorination sooner. 

“We can only work on well 

heads when they’re not in use. So 

the less water used this summer, 

the faster we can upgrade the 

well heads and the sooner we 

can end water chlorination in 

Christchurch.”

Butcher up for ‘Olympic’ challenge 

A BURNSIDE man has once 

again been selected to represent 

New Zealand in an event known 

as the Olympics of Butchery. 

Jeremy Garth, who is the 

butchery manager at New World 

Ferry Road, was this week named 

among the seven butchers who 

will make up the New Zealand 

team at the 2020 World Butchers’ 

Challenge. 

It’s the second time he has made 

the cut for the team known as 

the ‘Sharp Blacks’, having taken 

part in this year’s WBC in Belfast, 

Northern Ireland, where the 

Sharp Blacks placed second. 

“I’m still celebrating being 

selected again,” Mr Garth says. 

“Apart from the captain [Corey 

Winder, also of Christchurch] I’m 

the only one who got back in.” 

He and the other six Sharp 

Blacks will now start preparing 

for the next WBC, to be held 

in Sacramento, California, in 

September 2020. 

“Over the next two years 

we’ll meet regularly for training 

weekends, then return to each 

of our home butcheries to apply 

those techniques to what we do 

for our customers.” 

Mr Garth has been assigned 

a new team role too, switching 

from breaking down the raw 

carcasses to turning them into 

retail cuts. 

For shoppers of New World 

Ferry Road that will mean soon 

being able to buy cuts of meat that 

are indisputably ‘world class’. 

“Being able to talk to customers 

about the wide range of cuts they 

can get is one of the best parts of 

my job. Now I’m essentially going 

to be in training for 2020 every 

day, our shoppers can expect to 

see some good stuff.” 

Steve Anderson, chief executive 

of Foodstuffs South Island, says 

having a butcher of Mr Garth’s 

calibre on the Foodstuffs team 

shows the supermarket operator is 

“getting the right people.” 

“Because our stores are 

locally-owned and operated 

their butchery teams are more 

responsive to local shoppers’ 

tastes, and also more attractive 

to the best local talent – proof of 

which can be seen here,” says Mr

Indeed, Garth’s rise to the 

top of the butchery world is an 

inspiration to young schoolleavers. 

“My first job was as a 

cleaner in a butcher shop. Now 

I’m managing a very large city 

butchery serving hundreds of 

shoppers a day, and representing 

my country at what I do best. If 

I could tell my 16-year-old self 

one thing it would be to find 

something you like and can get 

better at every day, and stick at it.”

Flower festival cancer fundraiser 


FIVE SCHOOLS will go headto-head 

on Saturday to compete 

in the inaugural Festival of 

Flowers. 

The event – held at Riccarton 

High School – is organised by 

the Wigram Lions Club. It is 

aimed to raise funds for children 

with cancer and promote gardening 

for children. 

The schools taking part in 

the festival are Gilberthorpes, 

Hornby, Russley, Westburn and 

Wigram. 

Wigram Lions Club first vice 

president Rae Treloar said the 

children can enter in 12 categories, 

split into age groups. 

The categories include sand 

saucer arrangements, making 

Lego flowers and vegetables, 

drawing and photography. 

There is also a category where 

children have to make a vegetable 

animal. 

“[They could be] a fish done 

with a carrot [and] a poodle with 

a cauliflower,” Mr Treloar said. 

Each category will have prizes 

on offer, he said. 

Mr Treloar, a keen gardener 

himself, is looking forward to 

seeing the displays. 

“In this day in age, having 

fresh vegetables is therapeutic. 

Spending time in the garden, 

FESTIVITIES: Wigram Lions first vice president Rae Treloar hopes the festival of flowers will 

encourage children to take up gardening. 

picking your own vegetables [it 

is therapeutic],” he said. 

“It’s the same with flowers, if 

you appreciate them you can have 

a nice garden and Christchurch is 

the garden city, so it’s helping with 

our legacy really,” Mr Treloar. 

People attending the festival 

have to pay a gold coin donation. 

Proceeds will to cancer charity 

Camp Quality. 

“It’s an organisation set up to 

put on a respite camp for children 

with cancer,” he said. 

“Every January, at Living 

Springs in Governors Bay, there’s 

a camp for about 50 children,” 

Mr Treloar said. 

He hoped to raise $1500 to 

$2000 for the camp. 

The festival will also feature 

plant stalls and a sausage sizzle. 

•Festival of Flowers will 

be held at Riccarton High 

School on Saturday from 

10am to 3pm. Entry is via 

gold coin donation.

Native plants 

will provide 

shade for eels 

TWO SCHOOLS have joined 

forces to care for a shared local 

treasure – giant longfin eels in the 

Wairarapa Stream. 

Pupils from Cobham Intermediate 

and Burnside Primary 

School joined together last week 

to plant native plants along the 

stream as part of the Te Tuna 

Tāone – Urban Eel project. 

The project, run by Working 

Waters Trust in collaboration 

with Enviroschools Canterbury, 

aims to engage students of the 

aquatic life in our urban streams, 

and to recognise the impacts that 

humans have on it. 

Part of Te Tuna Tāone involves 

students planning and participating 

in their own action. 

Burnside Primary School chose 

a planting along the waterway to 

provide eel habitat and shade, and 

invited their neighbours, Cobham 

Intermediate, to also get involved. 

Burnside teacher Bianca Woyak 

said the planting was particularly 

poignant as it was a sign of the 

future, with the two schools slated 

to share a campus when rebuilding 

occurs. 

The native trees were funded 

with the support of the Environment 

Canterbury Immediate 

Steps fund.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Grape seeds shown 

to have remarkable 

health benefits! 

According to researchers grape seeds may 

hold the potential to treat and prevent many 

devastating disorders. The seeds have been 

found to contain many powerful antioxidant 

that have been shown to support the natural 

healing process and even slow the aging 

process. 

Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has been shown 

to reduce inflammation, pain, increase 

cell energy, protect protein structures and 

increase collagen production. The powerful 

antioxidants can tone and strengthen the 

blood vessels, improve blood flow, making it 

valuable for circulatory disorders of all kinds, 

including varicose veins, haemorrhoids, 

hardening of the arteries and impaired 

blood flow to the brain. It is excellent for 

most skin conditions with many noticing 

the skin becomes smoother. 

GSE offers a natural alternative for many 

people with hypertension. (High Blood 

Pressure) Higher B/P puts more stress 

on organs and can lead to atherosclerosis 

(hardening of the arteries) and increased 

risk of heart disease and strokes. 

Recent studies on people with elevated 

B/P found GSE to significantly lower B/P but 

with no effect on people with normal B/P. 

Animal studies have shown GSE to improve 

heart function, reduce damage caused by 

heart attacks and prevent arterial plaque. 

A growing number of studies show that 

GSE has powerful anticancer properties, can 

help balance blood sugar, improve arthritis 

and protect brain cells. It may prove vital 

in the treatment of brain disorders like 

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. 

Numerous studies on GSE show it can 

help support our good health and prevent 

many degenerative diseases.

Collagen 

The Body’s Youth Protein 

Collagen is the primary 

protein in the body. It is a 

major component of skin, 

hair, nails, muscles, tendons, 

ligaments, joint cartilage, 

bones, gums, teeth, eyes, and 

blood vessels. 

In fact collagen is 

the primary structural 

component for all tissue in the 

body, providing the strength 

and resilience associated with 

youth, beauty and wellness. 

The body’s natural collagen 

production decreases with age resulting in 

many signs of aging, such as flaccid skin, 

wrinkles, ligament and tendon injuries and 

aching joints. Collagen supplementation 

is one of the most fundamental things a 

person can do to prevent premature aging 

and promote youthful vitality. 

NEOCELL are the industry leaders in 

research on collagen supplementation. 

Through advanced research they have 

perfected a way to hydrolyse collagen and 

effectively reduce its molecular weight this 

improving the absorption of collagen into 

the blood stream by over 90%. 

A clinical study on NEOCELL 

COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to 

increase an average of 21% and up to 50%, 

with 92% of test subjects experiencing 

firmer, softer skin. Most people taking 

NEOCELL COLLAGEN reported seeing 

visible improvements within two weeks. 

Collagen supplementation provides the 

nutrients necessary to support the body’s 

collagen supply. It can help reduce fine lines 

and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity, 

support building of strong bones and teeth, 

strengthen the nails and hair, and is vital for 

muscle growth, It also assists weight loss by 

helping burn fat for energy, promotes wound 

healing by supporting the regeneration of 

healthy tissue as well as help support overall 

health. 

NEOCELL COLLAGEN and further 

information is available from the Natural 

Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health & 

Natural Therapy, 101Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always 

happy to help!

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A hearing i scheduled to be

The bylaw comes as an increasing

In the past year, the district

about se ting up a mobile busine s

Pupils learn about role of war horses

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and
