Anger<br />
over<br />
school<br />
zone<br />
changes<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
INTERMEDIATE school-aged<br />
children living in Halswell have<br />
been excluded from Hillmorton<br />
High School’s catchment zone.<br />
The school will have a new zone<br />
from January 1 as part of major<br />
changes made in a collaborative<br />
effort by principals and the<br />
Ministry of Education to have<br />
all of the city’s state secondary<br />
schools zoned by 2020.<br />
But families living in Halswell,<br />
who were planning to send<br />
their children to Hillmorton<br />
High’s middle school for year<br />
7 and 8 pupils, have been left<br />
disappointed.<br />
The MoE rejected the school’s<br />
proposal to have one zone for<br />
years 7 to <strong>13</strong> to “reduce the risk of<br />
overcrowding.”<br />
MoE sector enablement and<br />
support secretary Katrina Casey<br />
said primary schools in Halswell<br />
are “well-placed” to accommodate<br />
Halswell’s population of year 7<br />
and 8 pupils.<br />
A two-zone enrolment scheme<br />
has now been adopted – one for<br />
year 9-<strong>13</strong> and one for year 7-8.<br />

Quarry information delay<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
INFORMATION requested<br />
from Fulton Hogan over its<br />
application to open a quarry in<br />
Templeton has been delayed.<br />
Fulton Hogan has confirmed<br />
the additional information<br />
requested by Environment<br />
Canterbury and the Selwyn<br />
District Council on its proposed<br />
Roydon Quarry will be provided<br />
by <strong>August</strong> 16.<br />
The<br />
information is<br />
required in order<br />
for the councils<br />
to complete a<br />
section 42A<br />
report.<br />
The report,<br />
Jolene<br />
Eagar<br />
which will<br />
discuss the<br />
submissions on<br />
the quarry and recommend<br />
whether the resource consent<br />
should be granted or not, will be<br />
made available by September 2.<br />
The two councils had<br />
requested information on the<br />
volume of groundwater which<br />
would be extracted annually<br />
from the quarry, birdstrike<br />
mitigations, an update on draft<br />
conditions to reflect proposed<br />
mitigation and noise mitigation.<br />

The information was due back<br />
on Friday but due to ECan and<br />
the district council asking for<br />
further information on traffic,<br />
noise and landscape on July 25,<br />
Fulton Hogan has more time.<br />
However, Templeton<br />
Residents’ Association<br />
treasurer Jolene Eagar said<br />
it is a “repetitive game being<br />
played where Fulton Hogan is<br />
continuing to have its deadlines<br />
extended.”<br />
“There is always somebody<br />
that has got less time to look at<br />
information. In this case, it will<br />
be the planners for the section<br />
42A report. We can only hope<br />
they will have enough time to<br />
complete a proper report,” she<br />
said.<br />
But an ECan spokeswoman<br />
said unless directed by the<br />
hearings panel commissioners,<br />
all dates and deadlines remain<br />
in place.<br />
Already ECan and the district<br />
council have granted Fulton<br />
Hogan’s request to extend the<br />
deadline for the hearing process<br />
over the application.<br />
The hearing process does<br />
not have to be completed until<br />
January 23. The hearing will<br />
commence on November 18.<br />

McMaster & Heap<br />
Veterinary practice<br />
Dr Steve works his magic again…<br />
“CoCo” is a three year old speyed bunny<br />
- a very loved and adored pet who<br />
recently underwent Bilateral Cataract<br />
Surgery. This surgery was a first for<br />
Steve who did his research prior to the<br />
operation. He has operated many times<br />
on dogs, cats and even a hawk but not<br />
a rabbit.<br />
Coco was having real difficulty finding<br />
her food bowls and manoeuvring<br />
around outside. She had always<br />
loved charging around outside with<br />
the other rabbits. Her cataracts had<br />
developed fast in approximately<br />
two months, the right eye more<br />
mature than the left eye. Cataracts in<br />
rabbits can be congenital, traumatic,<br />
metabolic as in diabetes, inflammatory<br />
secondary to uveitis or infectious, as in<br />
the case of E Cuniculi. Coco was being<br />
treated for E Cuniculi, which is a parasite<br />
ingested and eliminated in the urine.<br />
This parasite causes inflammation in the<br />
lens and a capsular cataract can develop,<br />
leading to uveitis and sometimes<br />
glaucoma. It is painful and the rabbits<br />
will often scratch at the eye.<br />
Coco was referred to Steve and her<br />
primary vet and nurse came over to<br />
monitor Coco’s anaesthetic. Rabbits<br />
on the whole are difficult patients to<br />
monitor under anaesthetic due to<br />
their size and eye surgeries are difficult<br />
anyway because monitoring the<br />

head end of the patient is impossible.<br />
Expertise and experience with rabbit<br />
anaesthetics is essential when your<br />
surgery may last one to two hours. Often<br />
they require you to ventilate for them,<br />
they must be kept warm, hydrated and<br />
constant recordings of blood pressure<br />
need to be recorded.<br />
Straight away Coco was placed on<br />
intravenous fluids, had blood taken<br />
(no kidney or liver compromise was<br />
seen) and was allowed to snack<br />
on veggies and hay before her GA.<br />
Prior to her anaesthetic she was<br />
supplemented with oxygen to<br />
increase oxygen concentration in<br />
the blood. Once anaesthetised she was<br />
hooked up to a blood pressure monitor<br />
and pulsoximeter (measuring her oxygen<br />
saturation in the blood) and positioned<br />
for cataract surgery.<br />
The surgery went really well with Steve<br />
removing the crystalline lenses in both<br />
eyes. A Cataract is a lens opacity and is<br />
due to the loss of architecture of the lens<br />
or capsule fibres. To us the lens appears<br />
cloudy (the lens is in the middle of the<br />
eye). The cataract is then sucked out with<br />
a phacoemulsification machine. This<br />
machine vibrates, cuts and vacuums the<br />
cataract out. If all goes well, the visual<br />
axis is clear and vision is restored.<br />
So far so good. Steve has frequently<br />
checked her eyes and Coco can<br />
visually see well out both her eyes, her<br />
intraocular pressures are good, she is<br />
comfortable and happier now her ocular<br />
world has opened up again.<br />
I think its brilliant Coco’s owner gave her<br />
a chance at restored sight. The other<br />
option would have been removing the<br />
eyes, as the uveitis and glaucoma could<br />
have been too painful for her to live with.<br />
For any questions on cataract<br />
surgeries please contact Steve<br />
directly at McMaster & Heap Vet<br />
Practice. He has just invested in a<br />
new phacoemulsification machine so<br />
hopefully will get to test drive it soon.<br />

Zone changes impact Hillmorton High<br />
•From page 1<br />
Year 7 to 8 pupils living in<br />
Oaklands, Halswell and Knights<br />
Stream will instead have to enrol<br />
at Hillmorton High in year 9.<br />
Up to 40 out-of-zone spaces<br />
may be available for year 7 and 8<br />
pupils.<br />
Parent Karen White, who was<br />
planning to send her daughter<br />
to Hillmorton High next year,<br />
said she is not happy with the<br />
decision.<br />
“I think that<br />
parents should<br />
have the right<br />
to choose where<br />
their children go<br />
to school because<br />
every child is<br />
an individual<br />
Ann<br />
Brokenshire<br />
and will learn<br />
differently,” she<br />
said.<br />
Mrs White started up a<br />
petition last week calling for<br />
one-zone enrolment zone for<br />
year 7-<strong>13</strong> and for more robust<br />
consultation with families and<br />
the community before the new<br />
zone is implemented.<br />
She has also called on other<br />
parents affected by the decision<br />
to email MoE Canterbury<br />
education director Coralanne<br />
Child to provide as much<br />
feedback as possible.<br />
Her views are backed by<br />
BIG CHANGE: Intermediate school-aged children have<br />
been excluded from Hillmorton High School’s planned new<br />
catchment zone.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
another parent, Sandra Hargrove,<br />
who was in the process of<br />
applying for an out-of-zone space<br />
for her son.<br />
She said the general feeling<br />
in the community is one of<br />
disappointment, right through to<br />
anger, and her son was looking<br />
forward to attending Hillmorton<br />
High.<br />
Principal Ann Brokenshire<br />
said the school is “somewhat<br />
disappointed” because it is<br />
running a middle school for year<br />
7 to 10 pupils, but it understood<br />
the MoE’s perspective.<br />
“We don’t necessarily agree but<br />
we understand it and we have<br />
accepted it,” she said.<br />
Up until now the school, which<br />
became years 7 to <strong>13</strong> in 2014<br />
following the closure of Manning<br />
Intermediate, has not had a zone.<br />
Ms Brokenshire said secondary<br />
school principals have done<br />
a huge amount of work after<br />
the earthquakes to ensure<br />
all students have access to a<br />
reasonably close secondary state<br />
school.<br />
Mairehau, Papanui, Riccarton<br />
and Burnside high schools, as<br />
well as Linwood College and<br />
Haeata Community Campus,<br />
will also have changed or new<br />
enrolment zones by January 1,<br />
2020. Burnside High’s amended<br />
zone now covers the area around<br />
the airport.<br />
Parent Nicki Payton said she<br />
is lucky to have got her son into<br />
year 7 at Hillmorton High last<br />
year.<br />
She said her son has only been<br />
at the school for two months, but<br />
there has been an “astounding<br />
progression” in his well-being,<br />
confidence and learning.<br />
Hillmorton High’s roll is<br />
currently at 90 per cent capacity,<br />
with nearly 900 students, but the<br />
redevelopment of the school is<br />
master-planned to cater for 2000<br />
students.<br />
As part of its redevelopment,<br />
construction of a 22-teaching<br />
space two-storey building is<br />
expected to begin early next<br />
month.<br />
The project is estimated to take<br />
12 months to complete and cost<br />
$10 million to build.<br />

the city council’s Riccarton<br />
Ward in October’s local body<br />
elections.<br />
Last month, <strong>Western</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong> reported Ms Mora was<br />
considering putting her name<br />
forward to stand against<br />
Catherine Chu, Peter Laloli,<br />
Anthony Rimell and John<br />
Connelly.<br />
It came after long-serving<br />
city councillor Vicki Buck<br />
announced she would retire<br />
from the role earlier this year.<br />
But Ms Mora, who has served<br />
on the Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community board for<br />
the past six years, has confirmed<br />
she will be seeking re-election<br />
for the Halswell Ward as a<br />
community board member.<br />
“I had considered very<br />
seriously to stand for council.<br />
However, after some valuable<br />
discussion with others I now do<br />
not wish to run in the council<br />
race this term as this may split<br />
votes and it is really important<br />
to get the right people around<br />
the council table,” she said.<br />

McCahon painting reunites old girls<br />
• By Sophie Cornish and Claire<br />
Booker<br />
IT WAS 1969 and six young<br />
women who had just finished at<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High wanted<br />
to have a good time at a ball.<br />
They founded the Young Old<br />
Girls’ Association and hosted<br />
their own debutante ball. But<br />
they didn’t expect to make a<br />
profit, let alone enough to buy a<br />
Colin McCahon painting, which<br />
has now become a valuable<br />
collector’s item.<br />
The painting was presented to<br />
the school in 1970 by association<br />
member Jan Hardie at an<br />
assembly.<br />
“When they went along to<br />
the assembly the girls actually<br />
laughed, because they probably<br />
didn’t regard it as a proper<br />
painting in those days . . . we<br />
wanted to present something<br />
that was a bit of a challenge,” said<br />
Annette Hamblett, who was also<br />
a member of the association.<br />
Throughout the 1950s and<br />
early 60s, many school-leavers<br />
went to their formal old girls’<br />
association debutante ball, but<br />
the Young Old Girls’ Association<br />
had no interest in making a<br />
‘debut’.<br />
And they didn’t want to go to a<br />
ball with no alcohol, and ‘stuffy’<br />
old girls, so they took matters<br />
into their own hands. With their<br />
own title, the group organised a<br />
venue, popular dance band The<br />
Chapta, food, drink and then<br />
advertised the vent everywhere.<br />
“When I think about it now,<br />
we were quite bold, we booked<br />
one of the biggest venues, the<br />
horticultural hall, which used to<br />
be on the corner of Oxford Tce<br />
and Gloucester St,” Ms Hamblett<br />
said.<br />
Against all odds, they made a<br />
profit and one of the association<br />
members, Susan Battye,<br />
suggested they hold another<br />
event and use the other half of<br />
the profits to gift a painting to<br />
the school.<br />
Ms Battye wrote to one of<br />
New Zealand’s most well-known<br />
painters, Colin McCahon.<br />
To their surprise, they received<br />
a very encouraging reply, saying<br />
McCahon would tell his dealer to<br />
give them a good deal.<br />
ART: CGHS principal Christine O’Neill and deputy<br />
head girl Helen O’Connor with the Colin McCahon<br />
painting. (Below) – Young Old Girls’ Association<br />
members Susan Battye, Robyn Scott, Jan Hardie,<br />
Annette Hamblett, Judi McCallum and Cheryl<br />
Roblilliard with the McCahon painting they<br />
donated to CGHS 50 years ago.<br />
“And he did. By October 1970,<br />
we had acquired our McCahon:<br />
North Otago landscape, number<br />
19, painted with synthetic<br />
polymer on hardboard,” Ms<br />
Hamblett said.<br />
The group met at their old<br />
school recently to celebrate their<br />
success, and reminisce about<br />
their younger days.<br />
The group members said they<br />
were pleased to see each other<br />
again after 50 years, and enjoyed<br />
seeing the painting in all its<br />
glory.<br />
“It will always be a point of<br />
discussion. It’s not just a placid<br />
thing on the wall. It’s going<br />
to provoke discussion about<br />
what is art, and how can it<br />
represent the environment that<br />
we live in in New Zealand,” Ms<br />
Battye said.<br />
The CGHS art department<br />
now teaches students about<br />
McCahon and his paintings.<br />

Bus lanes get green light<br />
PEAK HOUR bus lanes will be<br />
installed along Lincoln Rd and<br />
Moorhouse Ave in a bid to make<br />
journey times shorter and more<br />
reliable for public transport<br />
users.<br />
The city council agreed on<br />
Thursday to introduce bus<br />
priority measures on the two<br />
busy roads.<br />
Buses are scheduled to travel<br />
along Lincoln Rd every 15min.<br />
In May, the Halswell Residents’<br />
Association threw its support<br />
behind the plan as part of its<br />
submission to the draft Annual<br />
Plan <strong>2019</strong>-2020 to help reduce<br />
the problem.<br />
Secretary David Hawke said<br />
it was pleased the decision had<br />
gone through.<br />
“One of the things we were<br />
really keen council included was<br />
there is absolutely no provision<br />
for turning it into having regular<br />
cars use that bus lane,” he said.<br />
“We want it as waterproof as<br />
possible it is a public transport<br />
only project.”<br />
City council approved special<br />
vehicle lanes for the project,<br />
which can only be used for public<br />
transport.<br />
The association has previously<br />
raised concerns that peak time<br />
traffic has caused buses on<br />
Halswell and Lincoln Rds to run<br />
behind schedule.<br />
City council head of transport<br />
DELAY: The Halswell Residents’<br />
Association said the Orange Line is<br />
often running behind schedule at<br />
peak traffic times.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
Richard Osborne said by<br />
introducing peak hour bus<br />
lanes, it expects to improve the<br />
reliability of bus journey times<br />
and reduce average bus trip times<br />
by about 6,5min in the evening<br />
peak and 4.5miin in the morning<br />
peak.<br />
“That should make going by<br />
bus a more attractive option<br />
for people. The south-west of<br />
Christchurch is growing fast,<br />
with 35,000 people expected to<br />
move into that area over the<br />
next 30 years,” Mr Osborne<br />
said.<br />
“That’s going to result in<br />
more cars on the road and<br />
congestion problems unless<br />
we make travelling by public<br />
transport faster and more<br />
reliable,” he said.<br />
Under the $4 million<br />
plan approved by the city<br />
council on Thursday, bus<br />
lanes will be installed on<br />
both sides of Lincoln Rd,<br />
between Moorhouse Ave and<br />
Whiteleigh Ave.<br />
The bus lanes will operate<br />
weekdays between 7am and<br />
9am, for the city-bound<br />
journey, and between 4pm<br />
and 6pm for the Halswellbound<br />
journey.<br />
A bus lane will also be<br />
installed on the south-side<br />
of Moorhouse Ave, between<br />
Selwyn St and Lincoln Rd.<br />
This bus lane will only<br />
operate between 4pm and 6pm.<br />
The speed limit on Lincoln Rd,<br />
between Moorhouse Ave and<br />
Whiteleigh St will be reduced to<br />
30km/h and a new traffic lightcontrolled<br />
pedestrian crossing<br />
installed by Addington Village.<br />
It is anticipated that work on<br />
the bus priority measures will<br />
begin in early 2020.<br />
The work is expected to take<br />
about six months to complete.<br />

National finals<br />
for rock band<br />
•From page 1<br />
The band, known for its<br />
unique stage presence and<br />
genre fusion, is made up of lead<br />
guitarist Jono Manning, Yannik<br />
Turner (vocals), David Archer<br />
(bass) and Abel Carson (drums).<br />
Jono and Yannik said they are<br />
excited to be part of the finals<br />
and to perform with other up<br />
and coming musicians.<br />
Abel, David and Yannik<br />
formed the band last year before<br />
finding the “missing ingredient”<br />
when they heard Jono playing<br />
Foxy Lady.<br />
From there the “rest is history”,<br />
Yannik and Jono said.<br />
Their first performance<br />
together as a band was T.N.T by<br />
AC/DC at a rock night at the<br />
school last year.<br />
“The audience loved it and<br />
we felt that we clicked on stage<br />
and we knew it was the start of<br />
something good,” Yannik and<br />
Jono said.<br />
From there, the band played<br />
at Heritage Hanmer Springs in<br />
December and haven’t stopped<br />
playing and practicing since.<br />
They are now writing their<br />
own songs and adding other<br />
instruments, including different<br />
forms of percussion and<br />
harmonica.<br />
The quirky name for the<br />
band was formed when Abel<br />
was looking up extinct animals<br />
and came across the Caribbean<br />
monk seal before putting the<br />
word “sneaky” in front of it.<br />
Native to the Caribbean,<br />
over hunting of the seals for oil<br />
and over-fishing of their food<br />
sources are the established reasons<br />
for their extinction.<br />
By the time the caribbean<br />
monk seal was placed on the<br />
endangered species list in 1967,<br />
they were likely to already be<br />
extinct.<br />
At stake are winner’s prize<br />
packages which include $22,000<br />

Rabbit cull<br />
results still<br />
weeks away<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
HOW EFFECTIVE a cull of<br />
rabbits in the red zone has been<br />
will be known in several weeks.<br />
Land Information New Zealand,<br />
which manages the land, said all of<br />
the carrots contaminated with the<br />
calicivirus K5 have been consumed<br />
since the drop late last month.<br />
LINZ manager land and property<br />
Matt Bradley said biosecurity<br />
experts will survey the rabbit<br />
numbers in late September or early<br />
October to determine if further<br />
control is required. The population<br />
will be compared to a survey<br />
carried out last year. The number<br />
of rabbits found dead so far has<br />
been relatively low, because they<br />
often return to their burrows, Mr<br />
Bradley said.<br />
A contractor is regularly<br />
inspecting the area to remove<br />
any dead rabbits. “We have also<br />
instructed our maintenance<br />
contractors to report if they find<br />
dead rabbits so we can have them<br />
removed,” Mr Bradley said.<br />
No further releases of the virus<br />
have been scheduled yet. As part of<br />
the management of the red zone,<br />
LINZ is legally required under the<br />
Canterbury Regional Pest Control<br />
Strategy to reduce rabbit and pest<br />
numbers when they get too high.<br />
Growing kids gardening knowledge<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
IN A digital age, it is becoming<br />
less common for children to<br />
learn the art of growing their<br />
own food.<br />
But not on Colin Renouf’s<br />
watch.<br />
The long-serving Riccarton<br />
Primary School caretaker has<br />
been inspiring children to<br />
learn where their food comes<br />
from, grow vegetables and gain<br />
cooking skills for the past four<br />
years.<br />
He has now been recognised<br />
for his efforts at the Keep<br />
Christchurch Beautiful awards.<br />
In the nine years since Mr<br />
Renouf began taking care of the<br />
school’s vegetable gardens, an<br />
orchard, compost systems and<br />
hens have been set up.<br />
Mr Renouf said learning<br />
how to grow, harvest, prepare<br />
and share seasonal food is<br />
important.<br />
That is why he has been<br />
heavily involved in the school’s<br />
Garden to Table programme.<br />
The nationwide curriculumintegrated<br />
programme helps<br />
thousands of primary schoolaged<br />
children across the country<br />
discover a love for fresh food.<br />
Mr Renouf said it was a “lovely<br />
surprise” to be nominated and<br />
to receive the award. He said<br />
he enjoys presenting the school<br />
as a positive, tidy environment,<br />
along with the day-to-day<br />
interactions he has with staff<br />
and pupils.<br />
One of the most important<br />
tips he passes on to children is<br />
the importance of keeping soil<br />
healthy with good compost.<br />
“Healthy soil produces healthy<br />
plants, you have got to look after<br />
your soil,” Mr Renouf said.<br />
Mr Renouf works at the school<br />
about 30 hours a week. When<br />
he is not tending the grounds,<br />
the qualified spiritual director is<br />
a minister supervisor, advising<br />
pastors.<br />
Alongside Mr Renouf, Geoff<br />
Stenhouse, who volunteers at<br />
the school three days a week,<br />
was also presented with a Keep<br />

Million Metres planting<br />
day at Jellie Park<br />
• By Claire Booker<br />
SCORES OF volunteers braved<br />
the cold last weekend to lend a<br />
hand to a community project at<br />
Jellie Park.<br />
Volunteers spent their<br />
morning planting native plants<br />
along Wairarapa stream behind<br />
the Jellie park pools complex.<br />
They were responding to the<br />
call by ‘Million Metres’ for a<br />
planting day, and the plants<br />
came from the city council’s<br />
nurseries.<br />
Project lead at Million Metres,<br />
Georgina Hart is an ex-Cobham<br />
Intermediate and Burnside High<br />
School student and was at the<br />
planting day to help out, and<br />
explain the importance of the<br />
stream restoration project.<br />
Million Metres is a dedicated<br />
programme for connecting local<br />
waterway restoration projects<br />
with large-scale funding and<br />
resources.<br />
Its goal is to raise funds to<br />
plant one million metres of<br />
waterways with native plants<br />
and trees.<br />
Wairarapa stream has<br />
undergone significant<br />
degradation over many years,<br />
so the million metres project<br />
aims to progressively restore the<br />
stream to its former condition.<br />
This will mean water quality<br />
will be improved, and the<br />
birdlife which is dependent on<br />
the stream will reap the benefits<br />
of this work.<br />
It is hoped that this planting<br />
day is the beginning of a new<br />
of life for the stream so it can<br />
support a rich diversity of life,<br />
have an abundant food source,<br />
and be a place of rest and<br />
recreation for the community.<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
members attended the planting<br />
day, and board member<br />
Shirish Paranjape said it was<br />
‘wonderful’ to see people of all<br />
ages go along to give a helping<br />
hand.<br />
“The most pleasing sight was to<br />
see very young children helping<br />
with full enthusiasm and<br />
energy,” he said.<br />
Local schools including<br />
Cobham Intermediate, Burnside<br />
Primary School, St Patrick’s<br />
School and CCEL English<br />
Language school attended<br />
the project alongside other<br />
community organisations.<br />
Libraries celebrate 160<br />
years with exhibition<br />
of rare memorabilia<br />
WHEN Christchurch residents<br />
borrowed their first books from<br />
a library, it was from a single<br />
room on High St in 1859.<br />
Now, the 160th birthday of<br />
Christchurch City Libraries<br />
is being celebrated with<br />
the exhibition<br />
Illuminate:<br />
Unearthing<br />
Treasures from our<br />
Collection, which<br />
opened on Saturday<br />
in the Southbase<br />
Gallery at Tūranga.<br />
It will run until<br />
October 27.<br />
The exhibition<br />
features rare<br />
books, including<br />
An Account of a<br />
Voyage Around<br />
the World, by James<br />
Cook, published<br />
in 1773; original New Zealand<br />
artworks, historic maps, vintage<br />
posters from the 1970s and<br />
1980s, including some printed<br />
by record label Flying Nun and<br />
a typescript of catalogue of the<br />
Universe by Margaret Mahy.<br />
Library branches around<br />
the city will also mark the<br />
anniversary with displays<br />
of historic photographs and<br />
Carolyn Robertson<br />
memorabilia.<br />
City council head of libraries<br />
Carolyn Robertson said the<br />
importance of libraries has<br />
grown hugely over the past 160<br />
years.<br />
“It’s amazing to think that<br />
libraries have been<br />
serving local people<br />
for so long. In those<br />
early days books<br />
were all people<br />
could borrow, but<br />
today’s libraries are<br />
a source of so much<br />
information across<br />
many different<br />
platforms, as well as<br />
being home to a huge<br />
range of programmes<br />
and events.”<br />
“Regardless<br />
of changes in<br />
technology,<br />
libraries have always been a<br />
place to inspire knowledge,<br />
foster creativity, challenge<br />
our curiosity and meet other<br />
people,” she said.<br />
“This anniversary is a great<br />
opportunity to celebrate that<br />
role. Illuminate is all about<br />
showing how libraries can<br />
open our eyes, and bring new<br />
information to light.”<br />

Food and coffee with a difference<br />
• By Claire Booker<br />
AT CAN Do cafe, it isn’t just<br />
the coffee and treats that fill the<br />
customers with warmth.<br />
It’s the staff behind the counter<br />
who serve every customer with<br />
a smile because they love what<br />
they do. Can Do cafe employees<br />
are people who suffer from brain<br />
injuries and other physical disabilities.<br />
Hayden Dixon (above),<br />
22, works Tuesdays and Wednesdays<br />
and loves the coffee run to<br />
the nearby medical centre.<br />
Said Mr Dixon: “I like doing<br />
the coffee run because it gets me<br />
outdoors.”<br />
The cafe provides its staff<br />
with ordinary life opportunities<br />
through meaningful paid<br />
employment, which allows them<br />
to set and achieve personal goals.<br />
The cafe opened at Art<br />
Metro in Papanui in March,<br />
and operations manager Vicky<br />
Harris said it is getting busier<br />
every day, but is still quiet.<br />
“We’re positive. We get really<br />
good feedback on the food and<br />
what we do,” she said.<br />
The cafe opened after the huge<br />
success of Can Do Catering,<br />
which was started in 2015 by<br />
staff at the Laura Fergusson<br />
Trust Canterbury.<br />
The trust was set up to cater for<br />
young people with brain injuries<br />
and it will celebrate its 40th<br />
anniversary this year.<br />
The staff have formal contracts<br />
and are interviewed for their<br />
jobs at the cafe, and they learn<br />
about food hygiene, and health<br />
and safety during the induction<br />
process.<br />
The opportunities the<br />
cafe and catering businesses<br />
provide for the staff gives them<br />
independence and a sense of<br />
purpose.<br />
“We’ve got one woman and we<br />

call her our bliss ball queen – she<br />
now goes into the kitchen and<br />
makes it [bliss balls]. She’s got<br />
the recipe and she makes it all,”<br />
Ms Harris said.<br />
She said her job is incredibly<br />
rewarding, and she is passionate<br />
about what she does.<br />
“Seeing how being involved in<br />
a team with people that haven’t<br />
worked before, and seeing the<br />

Tasty Bites<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
Simple ways to cut back on the calories<br />
Making a simple swap from<br />
pastry to a tortilla wrap<br />
instantly brings down the<br />
calories. Filled with fresh<br />
ingredients, these samosa<br />
and simple chicken curry<br />
recipes are a great way to<br />
eat well and lose weight<br />
Samosas<br />
Makes 6<br />
Prep time 10min<br />
Cooking time 15min<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 medium potatoes, peeled and<br />
diced into 1cm pieces<br />
75g frozen peas<br />
Low-calorie cooking spray<br />
½ onion, diced<br />
1 garlic clove, crushed<br />
1 tsp grated root ginger<br />
Generous pinch of chilli powder<br />
½ tsp ground coriander<br />
¼ tsp ground cumin<br />
¼ tsp ground turmeric<br />
½ tsp garam masala<br />
30g spinach<br />
Juice of ½ lemon<br />
Sea salt<br />
3 low-calorie tortilla wraps, cut<br />
in half<br />
1 egg, beaten<br />
Fresh coriander, to serve<br />
Directions<br />
Cook the diced potatoes in a<br />
pan of boiling salted water for<br />
5min, then drain. Cook the peas<br />
in boiling salted water and drain.<br />
Heat the oven to 200 deg C<br />
(fan 180 deg C) and line a baking<br />
tray with some greaseproof<br />
paper or baking paper.<br />
Spray a pan with some lowcalorie<br />
cooking spray and place<br />
over a medium heat. Add the<br />
onion, garlic and ginger and<br />
cook for 3-4min until softened<br />
but not browned, then add the<br />
spices and cook for another<br />
minute. Stir in the cooked potato<br />
and mash it slightly with a fork<br />
or the back of a spoon before<br />
adding the uncooked spinach,<br />
lemon juice and peas. Add a<br />
pinch of salt and stir.<br />
Brush the edges of the halved<br />
wraps with the beaten egg. Fold<br />
each half into a cone shape and<br />
seal the edge, leaving the top<br />
open to add the filling.<br />
Divide the filling equally<br />
between the wraps, being careful<br />
not to overfill them (if you do,<br />
you will not be able to seal them<br />
properly).<br />
Brush the open end of the<br />
wraps with some more beaten<br />
egg, leave for 30-40sec, until it<br />
becomes tacky, then press the<br />
edges together firmly. ]<br />
You can use a fork to do this,<br />
but be careful not to rip the<br />
wrap. Arrange the samosas on<br />
the tray.<br />
Brush each samosa with plenty<br />
of beaten egg, make sure the<br />
edges are sealed, then place in<br />
the oven for 10min, or until they<br />
are golden brown.<br />
Remove from the oven and<br />
serve warm. You can also<br />
allow to cool, wrap in baking<br />
parchment and freeze for<br />
another day.<br />
Super simple chicken curry<br />
Serves 4<br />
Prep time 5min<br />
Cooking time 30min<br />
Ingredients<br />
Low-calorie cooking spray<br />
1 large onion, sliced<br />
450g chicken breast (skin and<br />
visible fat removed), diced<br />
3 garlic cloves, crushed<br />
400ml water<br />
3 Tbsp curry powder<br />
1 Tbsp ground turmeric<br />
1 Tbsp tomato puree<br />
Sea salt and freshly ground black<br />
pepper<br />
To serve (optional)<br />
Samosas (see previous recipe)<br />
Cooked rice<br />
Ingredients<br />
Spray a large frying pan with<br />
low-calorie cooking spray and<br />
place over a medium heat.<br />
Add the onion and cook for<br />
2min until softened slightly,<br />
then add the diced chicken to<br />
the pan and cook for 5min until<br />
browned.<br />
Add the garlic to the pan and<br />
cook for 1min, then add all the<br />
other ingredients. The water<br />
should just about cover the<br />
chicken – you may need a little<br />
more or less depending on the<br />
size of your pan.<br />
Leave to simmer gently for<br />
20min.<br />
Turn the heat up and boil the<br />
curry for another 5min, stirring<br />
frequently to ensure it doesn’t<br />
catch on the bottom of the pan,<br />
this will reduce and thicken the<br />
sauce slightly.<br />
Serve the curry with your<br />
choice of accompaniment.<br />
Tip: This curry recipe works<br />
well with lean diced lamb (all<br />
visible fat removed) too.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />
Specialists advise a vehicle<br />
check before winter sets in<br />
Winter weather can present a range of tricky driving conditions<br />
for motorists – from wet, slippery roads and heavy frosts to fog<br />
and driving rain. That’s why it is important to make sure your<br />
vehicle is in tip-top shape and ready to deal with these hazards<br />
before winter really sets in.<br />
The team at Roses Auto Electrical in Cranford Street recommends<br />
checking that your lights and windscreen wipers are in working<br />
order, and to ensure your vehicle will start on cold mornings they<br />
offer free battery and alternator and starter tests, and free battery<br />
fitting.<br />
Their well-equipped workshop includes specialised diagnostic<br />
equipment designed to find any faults with vehicles’ electronics, air<br />
bags or ABS braking system, which the qualified and experienced<br />
auto electrical specialists will repair quickly and efficiently.<br />
Roses Auto Electrical provides full electrical services for all<br />
makes and models of European, Japanese and light commercial<br />
vehicles. Any time a warning light flashes up on the dashboard,<br />
they advise calling into their workshop to have it checked out.<br />
Roses Auto Electrical has been in business for more than 20 years,<br />
and the workshop team are constantly updating their knowledge<br />
with industry training, as well as having the latest state-of-the-art<br />
equipment in the workshop.<br />
The customer comes first for the friendly, professional team at<br />
Roses Auto Electrical, and motorists having their vehicle serviced<br />
there can have confidence in its performance and safety, especially<br />
with the cold weather approaching when driving is often more<br />
hazardous.<br />

Papanui. Phone 352 5090 to book in for service or repairs,<br />

At Summerset we put you at the heart of everything<br />

apartments – you’ll find a place to make your own. Our homes are built<br />
for warmth, and there are no worries about maintenance or upkeep as<br />
we do it all for you. Pets are also welcome, and you can even go away<br />
on holiday knowing your home will be safe and secure. We’ll also make<br />
sure you’re aware of all costs, giving you the certainty that there won’t<br />
be any unexpected surprises.<br />
When it comes to activities and events, there’s always something<br />
happening to keep our Summerset community involved and<br />
entertained, and you can choose to do as much or as little as you like.<br />
If you need some extra care or support, our continuum of care means<br />
we’ll be there for you as your needs change, giving you the peace of<br />
mind to continue living life to its fullest.<br />
