Wheelchair

issues 

at Nga 

Puna Wai 

• By Matt Slaughter 

CONCERNS HAVE been raised 

about accessibility issues for 

wheelchair users at Nga Puna 

Wai. 

The city council say it is aware 

of these concerns and will put 

in place measures to improve 

accessibility. 

Spreydon-Cashmere 

Community Board chairwoman 

Karolin Potter said wheelchair 

access at the venue is not good 

enough and the rest of the board 

agrees. 

Ms Potter brought to the board 

a wheelchair user’s concerns about 

having trouble seeing when they 

use the wheelchair seating areas at 

the venue to watch sport. 

For wheelchair users, Ms Potter 

said: “The fence around the field is 

at their eyeline or just below it, so 

you’re either looking through wire 

netting or you’re looking at the 

fence post along the top rail.” 

Ms Potter who used to work for 

the Human Rights Commission 

said this is not good enough. 

“My experience over the years is 

that we fail and fail and fail again 

on the issue of disability access.”

EFFORTS ARE under way to

In Brief 

NO NAME FOR SUBDIVISION 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board has decided 

to hold off from making a 

decision on naming a road in 

Yaldhurst Park subdivision again. 

The unnamed road provides 

access from Yaldhurst Park to 

properties that are west of the 

subdivision, known as Lot 22. 

The board had deferred the 

decision in November last year 

due to concerns by resident Colin 

Stokes. Mr Stokes says naming 

the road would legitimise it but 

he also says it does not have the 

required stormwater provisions. 

The proposed name for the road is 

Jack Clarke Rd. 

FUNDING GRANTED 

Two community organisations 

have received funding from the 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board to help 

with the operation of their 

organisations. The South 

Christchurch Christian 

Community Trust was granted 

$2000 to go towards the costs of 

delivering event Carols@Westlake. 

Carols@Westlake is an event 

that has been running annually 

for 17 years and is attended by 

several thousand people each year. 

Another grant of $2000 was given 

to the Hornby Cricket Club to go 

towards the purchase of a roller.

No new quarry consent for Fulton Hogan 


FULTON HOGAN will 

not have to apply for a new 

resource consent to quarry 

near Templeton – in spite of 

the raft of changes made to its 

application. 

The three-person hearings 

panel, chaired by Rob van 

Voorhuysen, has decided the 

changes made to the company’s 

original 

application do 

not require a 

new resource 

consent. 

Environment 

Canterbury 

and the district 

Simon Moore 

council called 

for public 

submissions on 

whether the application should 

be a new process due to the 

changes, but these were required 

to be authored by legal counsel. 

The councils called for them 

after Fulton Hogan made 

changes to its application, which 

included: 

•Decreasing the total active 

open area of the quarry from 

40ha to a maximum of 26ha. 

•Originally the application 

sought to provide for up to 1500 

heavy vehicle movements per 

day with an average of 1050 

DECISION: The changes made to Fulton Hogan’s application 

to quarry near Templeton will not require it to apply for a new 

resource consent.

movements per day. But Fulton 

Hogan now wishes to amend the 

proposal to a daily limit of 800 

heavy vehicles. 

•Fulton Hogan initially 

intended to develop a new 

dedicated heavy vehicle access 

from Jones Rd and use the 

existing access off the road as 

a dedicated light vehicle access 

to the site. Instead it wants 

to provide a “shared” heavy 

and light vehicle access point, 

meaning there will only be one 

access point. 

Upset residents wanted to 

have a say on the changes. 

But only the submitters who 

chose to speak at the upcoming 

hearing in November will get 

the opportunity to have a second 

say on Fulton Hogan’s amended 

application. 

Quarry opponent Simon 

Moore was not “too worried 

about” the hearings panel’s 

decision to not require a new 

consent from Fulton Hogan. 

“We have got the opportunity 

to be notified and have all the 

submissions which we may not 

get if they redo it,” he said. 

His biggest concern is 

not giving submitters the 

opportunity to amend their 

written submissions to reflect 

the changes Fulton Hogan has 

made. 

On behalf of Fulton Hogan, 

a lawyer has since said the 

company would not be opposed 

to submitters who did not 

want to initially be heard at the 

hearing to now be heard. 

The hearing on the company’s 

proposal to open a 170ha quarry 

between Dawsons, Curraghs, 

Jones and Maddisons Rd will be 

held in November. 

The only submission made on 

treating the resource consent 

as a new process was from legal 

counsel on behalf of Fulton 

Hogan. 

It said: “The proposed change 

in sequencing and staging of 

the application does not change 

the scale or intensity of the 

proposed activity.” 

ECan and the district council’s 

legal counsel had a similar view, 

saying the changes will “actually 

reduce the intensity or impact of 

the anticipated effects.” 

WESTERN NEWS 

Evidence 


FULTON HOGAN has released 

its evidence ahead of a major 

hearing next month over its plans 

to open its quarry in Templeton. 

About 16 reports have been 

received by Environment Canterbury 

in support of the proposed 

quarry at Dawsons, Curraghs, 

Jones and Maddisons Rds. 

Experts have given a wide 

range of evidence on air quality, 

human health, traffic effects, 

noise and water quality and 

water use. 

Evidence has also been received 

from Fulton Hogan national 

environment and sustainability 

manager Donald Chittock and 

general manager Craig Stewart. 

In his evidence, Mr Stewart 

said: “Fulton Hogan has invested 

a significant amount of time and 

resource into selecting and developing 

the proposal for Roydon 

Quarry.” 

He said the quarry will be 

commercially viable and has a 

real opportunity to showcase 

exemplary quarry management 

and rehabilitation. “Fulton 

Hogan is committed to 

continuing engagement with the 

(Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton) 

community board beyond the 

consent process.”

released for hearing 

“We want to ensure . . . 

Roydon is operated as a positive 

contributor to communities.” 

Mr Chittock said as a longterm 

neighbour, Fulton Hogan 

is committed to maintaining a 

good relationship with the 

Templeton community. 

He said the company 

has made a number 

of changes following 

consultation with the 

public. 

They include no 

processing of aggregates 

before 7am or after 8pm 

and there will be a limit 

of 800 truck movements 

a day. 

Heavy vehicles will 

also not travel on Jones 

Rd (west of the access), 

Dawsons Rd north of 

Jones Rd, or on Jones 

Rd east of Dawsons Rd 

between 8pm and 6am. 

Now all submitters 

intending to use expert 

evidence in support of 

their submissions will have to 

provide it by October 14. 

It comes as Fulton Hogan’s 

legal counsel said it would not 

oppose allowing people to speak 

at the hearing who initially 

only opted to provide written 

submissions. 

But ECan said this will be 

determined by the independent 

hearings panel. 

Templeton Residents’ 

Association treasurer Jolene 

Eagar said it is important 

the hearings process is 

made as easy as possible 

for people not used to 

public speaking. 

“These are people who 

care about their town 

and where they are living 

and how this is going 

to affect them. We have 

to make sure it is not 

off-putting to people,” 

she said. 

Meanwhile, details 

on the venues for the 

upcoming hearing have 

been revealed. 

From November 18-22, 

it will be held at the West 

Melton Community 

Centre in the Pearce 

Lounge from 9am-5pm. 

The second week 

from December 2-6, will be at 

the Wigram Base Hotel in The 

Ballroom from 9am-5pm. 

The third week from December 

9-13 will be in the Phar Lap 

Room at Riccarton Park

Concerns over access 

•From page 1 

“Nga Puna Wai is brand new 

and this made me feel more 

angry than I could possibly 

discuss with you about this 

issue. It’s just outrageous,” said 

Ms Potter. 

The board has asked city 

council staff to investigate 

accessibility issues at Nga Puna 

Wai, including introducing space 

for spectators in wheelchairs to 

have an unobstructed view of the 

sports fields. 

Said city 

council manager 

of recreation 

and sports 

facilities David 

Bailey: “We 

David Bailey 

value the 

concerns and 

have investigated 

one complaint about the hockey 

wheelchair spectator area not 

being accessible. In this instance, 

the limited access was due 

to temporary fencing 

incorrectly closing off the area. 

The issue 

was rectified on the same day.” 

Ms Potter said some of the 

wheelchair seating at Nga Puna 

Wai is separated from the other 

spectator areas with little shelter 

from the elements. 

Said Mr Bailey: “Within the

covered spectator seating for 

hockey there are dedicated 

spaces at the top of the stand 

for people who use wheelchairs. 

Fixed seats are below this 

viewing platform for other 

spectators. The covered seating 

provides some protection from 

the weather, specifically rain. 

The rear and sides of the 

stand provide some wind 

protection.” 

Ms Potter said accessibility 

and inclusiveness at the facility 

has to be improved. 

“The premise is, is that 

everything we do should be just 

like an open door, it should be 

built for everyone.” 

Mr Bailey said the city 

council’s current plans to 

improve accessibility at Nga 

Puna Wai will involve installing 

“improved signage directing 

wheelchair users to the accessible 

viewing stands.”

Incredible story of escape told to 

•From page 1 

Said Dr Lengoc: “I made the 

decision to leave because it 

would not have been very safe 

for me to stay. We did not know 

what they (the communists) 

would do to us.” 

Having witnessed first-hand 

the devastation of the war, the 

opening of the award-winning 

musical Miss Saigon this week 

will mark a poignant moment 

for the Vietnamese Society of 

Christchurch spokesman. 

As part of the lead-up to the 

opening of the musical produced 

by Showbiz Christchurch, 

Dr Lengoc, who has lived in 

Christchurch for 43 years, was 

invited to share his story with 

the theatre company. 

Days before the end of the war, 

Dr Lengoc and his wife were 

two of 108 South Vietnamese 

“adopted” by his wife’s employer, 

American John Riordan, of 

Citibank Saigon, who organised 

the escape for all of his staff and 

their relatives. 

“He said whoever wants to go 

just put their name down and he 

organised the exit. Everyone was 

to wait until someone knocked 

on the door of your house and 

you had to leave within a few 

minutes. No warning at all,” Dr 

Lengoc said. 

The day before he was due to 

go through with the escape, Dr 

Lengoc married his wife at a 

wedding registrar so his name 

could be added to the list of 

relatives seeking to escape the 

country. 

The couple along with the 

other refugees were taken to 

a secret location – a house Mr

Riordan was renting – where 

they were told to wait to be 

picked up and taken to Tan Son 

Nhut International Airport. 

While men between the ages 

of 18-45 were drafted to join the 

frontline of the South Vietnam 

army, Dr Lengoc was exempted 

due to the excellent grades he 

was achieving while studying 

a bachelor degree in animal 

science. 

Initially, the plan was for the 

escapees to flee on a Boeing 727 

Mr Riordan had hired from 

Hong Kong. 

But the pilot who was set to 

take the refugees was unable 

to obtain permission from the 

Vietnamese authorities to land 

in Saigon. Dr Lengoc could see 

the window of opportunity to 

escape was narrowing. 

“No one knew how many more 

days we would have. Once the 

communists took over Saigon, 

no planes would be allowed to 

leave.” 

But Mr Riordan quickly set up 

another plan, co-ordinating with 

the United States Air Force to 

take the refugees to the island of 

Guam.



mark production of Miss Saigon 

Women and children were 

given first priority, while the men 

were last to leave. 

Knowing the evacuation 

would have to be stopped when 

the communists took over, the 

men had a higher risk of being 

trapped in Vietnam. Dr Lengoc 

recalls the fear he felt when he 

was taken to the airport. 

“At the time, the soldiers 

understood some people were 

leaving the country and were 

jealous, we didn’t know how 

angry they would be if they knew 

we were leaving for the airport.” 

The bus was stopped at least 

twice by Vietnam soldiers and 

police. 

Not knowing what the soldiers 

were thinking, Dr Lengoc 

contemplated the prospect of 

being shot or harmed. 

“We all had our head down 

so they couldn’t see through the 

window. I looked down and John 

(Riordan) was saying something 

to the soldiers and policeman 

and handed over American 

dollars and then we were allowed 

to leave.” 

They were taken to Guam on a 

Lockheed C-130 Hercules. 

“As soon as the door of the 

plane closed I felt so relieved,” he 

said. 

The refugees stayed at a

naval base in Guam, which was 

converted into camp, for 10 

days. Due to the United States 

immigration laws, the group 

was then taken to another army 

camp in California. 

Dr Lengoc described feeling 

very “un-welcomed” and feared 

for his safety. 

Fortunately before the fall 

of Saigon, he was granted a 

scholarship in 1970 to study 

a post-graduate diploma and 

master’s degree in agriculture 

and a master’s degree in animal 

science at Massey University 

in Palmerston North, which he 

finished in 1973. During his time 

there, Dr Lengoc became friends 

with Jim Mann. 

Mr Mann became a medical 

technologist at Palmerston 

North Hospital before he served 

in Vietnam with the New 

Zealand medical team for a year. 

After a call for help, Mr Mann 

arranged through the Ministry 

of Foreign Affairs and Trade for 

Dr Lengoc and his wife to travel 

to New Zealand. The couple 

stayed with Mr Mann for two 

weeks in Palmerston North, 

where Dr Lengoc got a job as a 

garment presser. 

Nine months later, he found 

a job teaching at Lincoln 

University where he completed 

his post-graduate doctoral 

degree. 

He then went on to work at 

biotechnology company, Life 

Technologies, for 25 years before 

retiring in 2012. 

Dr Lengoc remained good 

friends with Mr Mann and 

visited him every year until he 

passed away last month. In 2009 

he suffered another great loss 

when Mrs Lengoc passed away 

following a five-year battle with 

bowel cancer. But before she 

died, Mrs Lengoc arranged for 

her husband to marry one of 

her friends, Thao, so he would 

not be alone. The couple were 

friends with Thao when while 

studying at university. Thao had 

a boyfriend at the time, but lost 

contact with him following the 

war and never married. Before 

Mrs Lengoc died, the couple 

arranged a trip to Vietnam in 

2008 to reunite with Thao. 

It was following the trip, Mrs 

Lengoc told her husband: “You 

go remarry Thao when I pass 

away. Don’t remarry anyone else, 

Thao is a good person.” 

Dr Lengoc initially declined, 

as he was preoccupied with 

his wife’s failing health. But 

following her death, he travelled 

back to Vietnam before 

organising for Thao to come to 

New Zealand. 

“She has been with me 

since 2010, we are very happy 

together,” Dr Lengoc said. 

Dr Lengoc is one of 14 siblings. 

Following the war, three of his 

brothers who served in the South 

Vietnam army were sent to reeducation 

camps. 

Another sister tried to escape 

by boat over the South China 

Sea but was never seen again. 

His other siblings weren’t in the 

army and weren’t harmed. 

Having lived the conflict of the 

war, what Dr Lengoc appreciates 

most about Christchurch is the 

friendliness and peacefulness 

of the people. When he retired 

he established the Vietnamese 

Society of Christchurch which 

has 363 members. 

Dr Lengoc and Thao have been 

invited to attend the opening of 

Miss Saigon this week. 

While he has not seen the 

show before, he said what 

women endured during the war 

is often overlooked and this show 

will depict this hardship.

Dig out your historic photos for competition 

GIVEN TIME, even the most 

ordinary photo can be an 

extraordinary window into a 

different world. 

This photo, picturing the 

intersection of High, Hereford 

and Colombo Sts, was a 

highly commended entry in 

Christchurch City Libraries’ 2008 

photo hunt. It was submitted 

by Tony Bowie and shows his 

mother and grandmother on 

their way to shop in High St in 

the late 1950s. 

During the 1950s, the central 

city was the prime destination 

for shopping in Christchurch, 

and women would don hats and 

gloves for their trip into town. 

The central city enjoyed this 

shopping heyday in the first half 

of the 20th-century, coinciding 

with the peak of reliance on 

public transport – first trams, 

then buses. Cathedral Square 

was the central hub of the 

city’s transport network, which 

connected the suburbs to the city 

centre. 

It was customary for people 

to go into town to shop, and to 

“take tea” in the tea rooms of the 

major department stores located 

on both sides of Cathedral 

Square. 

Beca Christchurch Heritage 

Festival 2019 starts on October 

7 and this year, as part of the 

festival, Christchurch City 

Libraries is celebrating 10 years 

of the Christchurch photo hunt. 

Over the past decade, the 

photo hunt has collected 

hundreds of great photos like 

this one, and Christchurch City 

Libraries hopes people will dust 

off their collections and unearth 

some more treasures. 

This year’s competition runs 

from October 1 to 31. Your

Community centre site blessed 

• By Claire Booker 

A SITE blessing and sod-turning 

ceremony held last week marked 

preparations for work on the 

new $3.1 million St Albans 

Community Centre. 

Contractors are due to be onsite 

by early November. 

But some residents are concerned 

about the high-cost for 

the centre, and lack of sustainable 

energy and water systems. 

But St Albans Resident’s Association 

board member Lynne 

O’Keefe said the association is 

helping to ensure these systems 

are put in place. She said this is a 

plan for the future. 

“There obviously has been a 

lot put into it [community centre] 

now, but we will be working 

to get that sorted,” she said. 

The single-storey building will 

be on the site formerly occupied 

by the earthquake-damaged 

centre – a block of land that 

runs between Colombo St and 

Caledonian Rd. 

The building will have modern 

timber and a glass facade with 

400 sq m of floor space, including 

a hall with a stage, three 

meeting rooms, an office and a 

kitchen. 

A central gathering space 

will open out on to a deck to 

the north, delivering light and

warmth through large windows 

and glazed doors. 

A car park adjacent to the 

building will provide off-street 

parking from Caledonian Rd 

while bike racks will be available 

on both road frontages. 

City council head of community 

support, governance and 

partnerships John Filsell said 

the new centre meets a range of 

community needs and will be 

available to various groups. 

“Shared spaces build a 

stronger community, and the 

new centre provides an ideal

environment for closer connections. 

As a community hub, it 

will provide a base for many 

groups that cater to all ages and 

interests,” he said. 

Many local groups are currently 

operating out of makeshift 

spaces around St Albans. 

“With the new centre a step 

closer, they can soon be under 

one roof and continue to provide 

support to the local community, 

along with plenty of activities and 

opportunities,” Mr Filsell said 

Community groups are 

already looking forward to utilising 

the new hub, with several 

indicating they plan to move 

from their present premises. 

A working party made up 

of Papanui-Innes Community 

Board members and community 

representatives from groups including 

the St Albans Residents 

Association and the local business 

association agreed on the 

final floor plan. 

The building is expected to 

open next year. 

Easement 

approved for 

pump station 

upgrade 

AN EASEMENT has been 

granted at Paeroa Reserve. 

It is to allow the city council 

the rights to convey water and 

electricity and to drain water 

and sewage as part of works to 

upgrade the Tara Pump Station 

and to convert above-ground 

wellheads at the reserve. 

The Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board 

granted the Paeroa St easements 

on Tuesday. 

The recommendation was 

moved by board chairman 

Mike Mora and member Ross 

McFarlane. 

The easements will have 

a minimum width of 3m. A 

survey of the reserve will also 

be necessary to create the 

easements associated with the 

pump station upgrade. 

The upgrade associated to 

the easement are to replace the 

existing wellhead with an above 

ground wellhead which will be 

caged to meet the secure status 

requirement. 

The easement approved by 

the board is in line with the 

city council’s strategic priority 

for a safe and sustainable water 

supply and improved waterways.

Villa’s budding 

entrepreneurs 

CHOO CHOO: 

Anna Thomas 

will be displaying 

one of her model 

train carriages 

at the Big Model 

Train Show at 

the Pioneer 

Recreation & 

Sport Centre. 

Model trains to go on show 

ANNA THOMAS is a 

keen rail modeller, skilfully 

creating New Zealand 

prototypes. 

Ms Thomas said her mother 

recalls her throwing a tantrum 

in Kmart when she was four 

because she couldn’t have a train 

set. 

“I did get one later. It was an 

American Santa-Fe set with a 

figure-eight track and a tunnel. 

I soon lost interest, probably 

because it wasn’t very realistic.’’ 

The 26-year-old who 

works for an online distributor is 

keen on all things mechanical. 

For two years, she has been 

building a Di class diesel-electric 

locomotive to haul a train of 

ballast wagons. 

It will include a 9m wooden 

guard’s van carriage with a 

ballast spreader underneath. 

“I have talked to people 

who knew the Di class locos. 

That’s been pretty cool really,’ she 

said. 

The guard’s van will feature 

at the Big Model Train Show 

at Pioneer Recreation & Sport 

Centre on Saturday and Sunday, 

9.30am until 5pm. 

Ms Thomas’ train modelling 

is realistic. She is working with 

white metal kits. 

She is excited to be involved 

this year’s show. 

The show will feature model 

train clubs and individuals from 

throughout the South Island. 

Those presenting New Zealand 

prototypes are always popular. 

Last year a winning layout 

represented the Kaikoura 

Coast. 

The train show is an event for 

anyone thinking about getting 

involved with the hobby. 

•Entry to the Big Model 

Train Show is $5 for children, 

$10 for adults and $15 for an 

adult weekend pass. 

VILLA MARIA College 

students have the opportunity 

to put their business knowledge 

into practice at the school’s 

market day. 

Year 10 commerce students, 

including Beckenham’s 

Katie McHerron, were 

challenged to create a 

product and food item 

to sell to the college 

community. 

“My favourite 

part was presenting 

our prototype and 

receiving the feedback 

so we could improve 

our product before 

market day. I’m excited to be 

selling our coffee cups and cake 

mixes at the market and also 

helping out our chosen charity,” 

said Katie. 

“We had to choose products to 

sell, identify the unique selling 

point, develop a business plan, 

make prototypes and work 

on our marketing skills,” said 

year 10 student Kyra Clarkson, 

whose group is called Super 

Mugs. 

“We decided to sell reusable 

coffee cups, filled with a readyto-bake 

cake mix and cookie 

Katie McHerron 

dough.” 

Fellow student Keito Yoshida 

said: “We focussed on creating 

a product that was sustainable 

and environmentally-friendly, 

and encourages people to reuse 

their cups, rather than 

using disposable cups.” 

Commerce is an 

optional subject for 

year 10 students at 

Villa Maria College 

and is a combination of 

accounting, economics 

and business studies. 

It is a popular subject 

choice for students who 

enjoy the challenge of 

the market day event. 

Student Ruby Lundy said: 

“It was tricky to come up with 

a product that was unique 

and special so that we could 

attract lots of customers, but 

we’re really happy with our end 

product.” 

The students will decide 

on a charity to donate a portion 

of their profits to after the 

market. 

Other products at the market 

included reusable metal straws, 

face masks and lip scrubs, bubble 

tea and sweet treats.

Oaklands Year 5/6 day out at the Canterbury 

Basketball Champs 

On Monday the 12th August, a team of talented and determined Year 6 girls 

competed at the Canterbury Basketball Championships. 

After many hours spent practicing with Mr. Forman, the girls were ready to take 

on the best of the best. Our highlight was beating West Melton 16-2. The girls 

showed great speed, accurate passing, and marked up close of defense. 

With narrow losses to St Josephs 8-7 and Marshlands 4-2, we were well 

prepared and showed plenty of 

heart and enthusiasm. 

A big thank you to all the parents 

who supported us for the day 

and Fiona for helping coach/ 

manage. 

We are very lucky at Oaklands 

School to have Mr. Forman, who 

put in endless extra hours to 

give our students these extra 

opportunities. Well done girls! 

Hub 3’s St John Visit 

What do we do when someone needs our help? 

Hub 3 had Paula from St John come to visit us. She was able to teach us about 

what we can do when there is an emergency and what we need to know when 

calling an ambulance. 

We then got to practise bandaging up 

a pretend cut on our buddy using this 

little saying to help remind us- pack it, 

wrap it and raise it. We learnt how to 

make a ‘happy snail’ with our bandage. 

This helps the packing stay in place 

as our bandage is easy to put on and 

tight enough to keep it in place. These 

are skills that we can take out into the 

community and share with others. 

Oaklands School Chess Club 

This term the Oaklands 

School Chess Club 

has attended two main 

Canterbury Chess 

Competitions. The Individual 

year level Canterbury’s 

and the Social Canterbury 

Chess Competition. Both 

events were hosted by the 

Canterbury Inter School 

Chess Trust at Te Hapua, 

Halswell. During this term in 

week 5 Oaklands School entered the Individual Canterbury Chess Competition. 

We had Xiyi Zhang (Year 8), Harrison Stewart (Year 7) Jaxson Stove (Year 6), 

Jesslyn Tan (Year 5) and Didi Xue (Year 4) represent us. 

Didi Xue in the Year 4 division came 1st. 

Harrison Stewart in the Year 7 division came 7th 

Jaxson Stove in the Year 6 division came 10th equal. 

Jesslyn Tan in the Year 5 division came 15th equal. 

Xiyi Zhang in the Year 8 - 10 division came in 16th. 

Then in week 7 of this term Oaklands School had two teams entered in to the 

Social Canterbury Chess Competition. 

Representing the Year 7-8 team was Morgan Leoni (School Chess Captain), 

Jennifer Xu, Melissa Randall and Rani Survase. 

Representing the Year 1-6 team was Charlie Barnes, Patrick Corcoran, Jesslyn Tan 

and Billy Spivey. 

We are fortunate to have the wonderful assistance of Richie Christie from the 

Canterbury Chess Club. A big thank you from all in the Oaklands School Chess 

Club for all the assistance and coaching. 

Literacy Quiz success 

Congratulations to the two teams from 

Oaklands School who both finished 

in the top 3 in the recent South West 

Literacy Quiz held at Somerfield School 

last Thursday. 

The Oaklands Book Ninjas finished 

second with the Oaklanders team close 

behind in third place. Our wonderful

Hip-hop 

dancers to 

show moves 

in Sydney 


A GROUP of Papanui hiphop 

dancers are due to fly out 

to Sydney tomorrow for an 

international competition. 

Two dance crews from Zion 

Studios will compete at the 

World Supremacy Battleground 

International Championship this 

week. 

Head teacher 

Bronte Te Mete 

said Zion aims to 

create a positive 

environment for 

Bronte 

Te Mete 

people. 

“We use dance as 

a tool to build community 

and whanau and to build 

students up with life skills and 

positive mechanisms,” she said. 

The studio’s senior students 

competed in Hamilton at the 

World Supremacy Battleground 

qualifier recently and took out 

the secondary school-aged and 

open sections. 

“Both crews have been working 

tirelessly to create their own 

masterpieces to showcase on the 

world stage,” Miss Te Mete said. 

The competition runs over 

four days, with different 

workshops and classes around 

hip-hop culture and dance. 

Joshua jumps through hoops for court 

BALL IS LIFE: Joshua Sinclair has written to the Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community Board asking for a basketball 

court to be installed at Picton Reserve. 

Bid to get community board 

support for practice area 


ONE OF Joshua Sinclair’s 

favourite pastimes is playing 

basketball. 

It’s more than just a game for 

the 12-year-old from Riccarton. 

Basketball 

provides a social 

outlet for Joshua 

and he can 

often be seen 

practicing his 

moves at Cobham 

Intermediate. 

But living on 

Picton Ave means 

Joshua has to walk 

nearly 50min to 

practice. 

So he has 

written to the 

Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board to 

get a basketball court installed 

in Picton Reserve. 

In a heart-warming letter, 

Joshua describes basketball as 

having a “magical power” to 

bring people together. 

He said basketball gets 

people together from a range of 

backgrounds for some fresh air 

and fitness work. 

Joshua has only been 

interested in basketball for 

‘Basketball still 

has a magical 

power to 

bring people 

together and 

have fun’ 

– Joshua Sinclair 

the past year, but he has a real 

passion for sport, playing cricket 

and rugby for his school and 

clubs. 

He is due to start at 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

next year, and Joshua’s goal is 

to be selected 

to represent 

the school in 

basketball. 

His mother 

Debra supported 

Joshua’s letter 

and is happy 

he took the 

time to write 

to the board 

and make a 

difference to his 

community. 

She said the 

closest basketball 

court at Wharenui School is 

cracked and run-down, and it 

would be ideal to have a court 

nearby. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

said it was lovely to see a 

handwritten letter from a 

young person bringing their 

concerns to the community 

board. 

The letter has been passed 

on to city council staff for 

consideration. 

Readers respond to the 

Western News article on 

the new Hornby Library, 

Service Centre and South 

West Pool 

Sarah Taylor – Of course 

the city council should have 

approved this facility and glad 

they saw sense and listened to 

the residents rather than the 

community board members 

who voted against it. There’s no 

way as a resident in Riccarton 

I’ll be putting a tick beside either 

Broughton or Chu on my voting 

paper. 

They’ve just shown me that 

they don’t listen to residents 

views and instead follow their 

own personal agendas and how 

can I trust them not to do the 

same again? Can’t wait for it to 

be built. 

Dianne Downward – 

Hornby residents have victory 

but at what cost? Kyle Park 

is an old landfill or rubbish 

dump that is contaminated 

with toxic materials and gas – 

methane is produced as rubbish 

decomposes. A conservative 

estimate of how much it will 

cost to make the land safe to 

If you have an opinion 

on an issue raised in

build on is $5 million to $10 

million if all goes well, as they 

cannot know the extent of the 

problem until they start. If they 

find the problem is worse than 

expected, it could cause more 

delays and eat up a lot more of 

the budget just to get the land fit 

to build on. 

Let’s say that it cost $10 

million to remediate the land, 

that leaves $27 million to build 

the actual facility. What are 

the residents willing to cut 

from the plan to meet the new 

budget? 

Are they willing to have 

their rates (Hornby residents) 

increased to fund the extra cost 

of making the land safe to build 

on? 

Do they expect road repairs 

and other facilities across 

Christchurch to be put on hold 

to pay for the extra cost? 

Are those that fought for 

Denton Park to remain the way 

it is (which also caused delays) 

and other Hornby residents, 

aware of all these extra costs to 

have the facility built on Kyle 

Park? 

I have no emotional 

connection to Denton Park 

so it is easy for me to say that 

the mega-facility should be 

built there, where there is no 

contamination and is next door 

to Kyle Park. 

The rugby fields could 

easily be transferred to Kyle 

Park. 

I want Hornby to have this 

facility but I don’t want my 

rates to increase to pay for this 

decision. 

Making yesterday's 

best performance into today’s 

new baseline is how legends 

roll. Never settle. Never stop. 

No one in New Zealand is 

selling more houses than us!

Goom Landscapes is a highly 

regarded landscape design and 

construction firm established 

more than 35 years ago. 

The nationally recognised 

awards acknowledged the best in 

landscape design, construction, 

horticulture and maintenance. 

Said Goom Landscapes 

director Tim Goom: “We take 

enormous pride as a team in 

completing every project to 

the highest standard, so to gain 

national recognition, not to 

mention armloads of awards, is 

deeply gratifying.” 

The company entered four 

projects in both the design 

and construction categories. It 

received four gold medals for 

construction and three gold and 

a silver medal for design. 

In addition to these medals, 

Goom Landscapes also won

the premier award for best 

construction project of the year 

for its high-country project at 

the Terrace Downs Resort in 

Windwhistle. 

The judges said the project 

was a very worthy winner of this 

top award as it demonstrated 

“outstanding workmanship using 

various materials and finishes, 

bringing to life the vision and 

design.” 

They also said the water feature 

was considered to be elegant 

design.

Little honoured for dedication to rowing 

SPORT 

BURNSIDE HIGH School 

rowing coach Jim Little’s 

six-decade involvement with 

rowing has been rewarded 

with life membership of the 

Canterbury Rowing Association. 

The 75-year-old is passionate 

about sculling and is currently 

coaching Burnside under-17 

single-sculler Theo Giannakogiorgos 

to the Maadi Cup where 

he finished fourth earlier this 

year. 

Little commenced rowing in 

the 1950s with Shirley Boys’ 

High School as a 16-year-old. 

He has been a member of the 

Union Rowing Club ever since 

where he is a life member and 

club patron. 

He has trained as a member 

of the 1964 NZ Tokyo Olympic 

crew. 

Unfortunately, he was one of 

two reserves on race day with the 

eight finishing in 11th. 

He competed for Canterbury 

in the inter-provincial eights. 

He had been rowing double 

and singles and was third in 

the premier (then senior class) 

singles at the 1963 national 

championships. 

Little rowed in a coxless pair 

for three years with Ron Satherley 

and after several attempts in 

both the coxless pair and later 

a coxed pair, the combination 

finished second each time in the 

premier event to Wybo Veldman 

and the late Warren Cole. 

In his last season, marred by 

an appendix operation, he and 

Tim Armstrong finished third 

in the premier double sculls with 

no real training behind them. 

After a 10-year break Little 

turned to coaching focusing and 

developing a youth eight within 

the URC Club. 

He took another brief break 

after this stint then returned 

in October 1985 looking after 

Shirley Boys’ High rowing and 

again with URC. 

Little was involved with several 

age-group New Zealand crews. 

He has given generously of his

time over the years to holding 

sculling schools for all Canterbury 

Rowing Association club 

members. 

He has coached at Christchurch 

Boys’ High School in recent 

years, this being acknowledged 

at the school’s recent prize-giving 

for the Maadi Cup victories 

with Little having developed 

many of the crew in their formative 

rowing years. 

Little has coached URC athletes 

to NZ representative level 

and has been heavily involved in 

the coaching of a large masters 

contingent affiliated to URC. 

Little was part of the inaugural 

safety team at Lake Ruataniwha 

for many years while his wife, 

Merryl was a permanent fixture 

in the coxswains weigh-in shed.

GIRLS & BOYS BASKETBALL 2019 

Basketball New Zealand Nationals 

Palmerston North October 2019 

Hornby High School is proud to be sending 

two Hornby High School basketball 

teams (both boys and girls) to represent 

our community, families and school at 

the Basketball New Zealand National 

Championships held in Palmerston North. 

The national tournament will provide an 

opportunity for these players to develop 

their own play and compete at the highest 

available for their age group. This will allow 

them to develop their basketball skills and 

learn how to adapt to the variety of playing 

styles that they will experience from different 

teams throughout New Zealand. 

This is the first time Hornby High School 

basketball teams have qualified for a national

tournament. Both teams qualified at the 

South Island Secondary Premierships held 

in Greymouth, the Hornby High School Boys’ 

team finishing 4th place, and the Hornby High 

School girls’ team finishing in 5th place. This 

is the next step in a basketball programme 

which started 11 years ago and has grown to 

include both boys and girls teams in each age 

group. 

Both teams are very fortunate to be in the 

capable hands of experienced coaches, 

the Boys’ Team with James Harris, and the 

Girls Team with Sam Hawkins. Both bring 

a wealth of knowledge to their teams and 

are able to encourage players and set high 

expectations that encourage them to play at

their best. Both coaches are supported by 

assistant coaches. The boys team assistant 

coach is Vinnie Wallace, a Hornby 24-7 youth 

worker with Hope Youth, a great role model 

and mentor in the school. He is involved in 

multiple sports at Hornby High School and 

has taken up the assistant coach role for the 

Boys basketball team. Annabelle Simpson 

works with the Girls team, with whom she 

helps deliver a strong balance within the team 

helping build team work and confidence. 

The team managers are Emma Geldard 

(Boys’ Manager) and Sarah Handley (Girls’ 

manager). They help ensure the wellbeing 

of the players while they are away, assisting 

them to manage any niggles and injuries.

2019 LocAL ELEctionS - meet your candidates 

Mark Peters Standing for Council and Community Board - Hornby Ward 

Paid Advertising Feature 

Hi, I’m Mark Peters, and I am standing for 

Council and Community Board for the Hornby 

Ward. 

Hornby needs a clear strong voice to 

represent our community well at Council to 

ensure our communities are heard and that we 

get what we need. 

I’m proud to live in Hornby with my family. 

I’m a Land Surveyor by trade and want to use 

my skills to give back to the Community that 

offers my family so much. 

When Denton Park needed saving a couple 

of years ago, I stepped up and pulled together 

the Hornby sports clubs and a determined 

group of locals, successfully forcing the 

Council to move on, saving Denton Park. 

After the Denton Park campaign, we decided 

not to waste the unity that came from that 

campaign and formed the Greater Hornby 

Residents Association that superbly represents 

Hornby issues to Council. 

When the Community Board shocked us 

with a vote not to proceed with the new Kyle 

Park facility, I pulled together the petition to 

take on the Hikoi to Council, winning their 

support to proceed and work with us to find 

extra funding. 

I will represent Hornby clearly and strongly 

on Council continuing to listen to you and 

ensuring you are heard. We must ensure rates 

are affordable, that our spending priorities 

are right and that we focus on the basics first 

before the nice to haves. 

Our Council has no place for Party Politics. 

I’m a true independent, Vote Mark Peters for 

Council & Community Board. 

Authorised by Mark Peters, 6 Glenora Place, Hornby, Christchurch. 

Megan Hands Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna 

As an environmental consultant I have 

an intimate understanding of the progress 

made and the work to be done to improve our 

water quality in Canterbury. As a new mum, 

I want our region to be the best place for 

young families like my own to live, work and 

explore. I have a Bachelor of Environmental 

Management and Planning, and qualifications 

in Nutrient Management and Agricultural 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions. I currently Cochair 

the Selwyn Te Waihora Zone Committee 

and am a member of the Institute of Directors. 

Environment Canterbury needs collaborative 

decision makers who use evidence, science 

and responsible spending to sustain our 

region’s economic growth and protect our 

environment. I fundamentally believe that 

economic growth and environmental protection 

can and must go together and that we should 

all be able to enjoy our great outdoors. With 

me as your Councillor you have a commitment 

to; 

1. Ensuring a healthy environment, safe 

drinking water and clean air while supporting 

our regional economy. 

2. Ensuring Biodiversity is protected, 

maintained and enhanced. 

3. Affordable and accessible public 

transport that aids the goal of a Carbon Zero 

Christchurch. I am open minded about who is 

best placed to manage this. 

4. Ensuring your ratepayer money is 

invested prudently. 

I am a genuinely independent candidate 

meaning you will get a Councillor committed 

to what is best for our grassroots Canterbury 

community and environment with a focus on 

ECan’s core business. I need your vote and 

would be honoured to be your ECan councillor 

for Christchurch West. 

Authorised by Megan Hands, 229 Hacketts Road, Darfield, Christchurch. 

Anne Galloway Standing for Councillor - Halswell Ward 

Kia ora koutou, 

Engagement. Empowerment. Equity. 

Three words that describe what I have achieved 

as the Ward Councillor representing Halswell. 

Over the last almost three years I have... 

• Fought for Halswell to have the facilities, 

amenity and levels of service reflective of the 

rates revenue generated from this Ward and 

equitable access to these. 

• Engaged regularly with key Halswell residents 

in order to stay informed about current local 

issues. 

• Addressed concerns raised by residents and 

facilitated action in response to these 

• Established a Student Council - primary aged 

children from local schools are learning about 

democratic processes and how to engage with 

them successfully . With the support of CCC 

Staff they have achieved positive outcomes for 

their community (The Student Council has won 

a national award for the Community Board).I 

have prioritised building strong, collaborative, 

respectful relationships with Council colleagues 

and CCC Staff. Valuing the work that fellow 

Councillors and Staff do and appreciating the 

results they achieve despite the challenges 

they face has ensured action and results for the 

people of Halswell. 

If I have the privilege to represent you for the 

next three years I will continue to... 

• Remove chlorine from our drinking water 

• Improve and protect our waterways and 

biodiversity 

• Strengthen civics education and encourage 

active citizenship 

• Advocate speed limits in suburban streets 

especially around schools 

• Provide resource for minor safety initiatives(eg 

pedestrian islands) identified by the community 

• Strengthen the Neighbourhood Support 

network to enhance community sense of safety 

• Address traffic congestion advocating for free 

buses for those under 18yrs 

• Continue to battle for the lowest possible rates 

Ngā mihi nui, Ki a Koutou, Anne 

Authorised by J McLellan, 6 Braddon Street, Addington, Christchurch. 

Sam MacDonald Standing for Councillor - Waimairi Ward 

Does our community get value for money 

from the $27 million in rates we pay each 

year? Our roads, parks and water supply need 

improving, and we cannot afford more rate 

rises. 

As the Chairman of our local Community 

Board, I enjoy working on everyday issues and 

local projects. But the big problems we face 

– continuous rate rises, ballooning debt and 

deferred maintenance – are what I hear most 

about, and those problems can only be solved 

from the Council table. 

I am the only Council candidate running in the 

Waimairi Ward who lives and pays rates in our 

Ward, I understand our local issues. 

My Community Board experience here in 

the Waimairi Ward and work as a Chartered 

Accountant has given me both the local 

knowledge and professional skills to get better 

value for your ratepayer funds. I am asking for 

your vote to be your Councillor. As always, feel 

free to contact me at any time – 

sam@sammacdonald.co.nz or 027 333 9215. 

It’s time to put an Accountant at the Council 

table, vote Sam MacDonald. 

Authorised by Sam MacDonald, 237B Maidstone Road. Avonhead. Christchurch 

Shirish Paranjape Standing for Community Board - Waimairi Ward 

Dear Waimairi resident, 

Would you vote for someone residing in 

Auckland to be the Mayor of Christchurch? Of 

course not! The same applies for electing your 

Waimairi Community Board member. 

I am a LOCAL - I live and pay rates in 

Waimairi ward, and have done for over 17 

years. I am seeking re-election as your 

Community Board member for Waimairi Ward. 

Having completed my first term, I can say I 

have certainly enjoyed the role and was able 

to make a positive contribution. In particular, 

I immensely cherish the people-interaction 

aspect which this role entails, as well as being 

able to put rate-payers’ money to good use – 

for community groups as well as individuals; 

and for small and big projects which make 

our neighbourhood a better place to live for 

everyone. 

Over the past weeks, I have walked the 

streets of Waimairi ward and met many of you. 

If I could not meet you, you would have found 

my election flyer near your front door or in your 

letter-box. 

My sincere promise is that I will be your voice, 

your eyes and ears; for any and every matter, 

whether Council-related or other. I will work with 

the same passion, integrity, transparency and 

enthusiasm that I have demonstrated in the 

past years, and to continue to make a positive 

difference in the lives of people around me. 

PLEASE VOTE FOR ME as your Waimairi 

Community Board member. 

Thanks in advance, 

Shirish

Ross McFarlane Standing for Community Board - Halswell Ward 


Our COmmunity - my PriOrity 

As a member of the Halswell Residents 

Association for 18years and the Halswell 

River Rating District Liaison Committee I 

again seek your support and vote to continue 

as your Halswell ward Community Board 

Representative. 

Growth is our major issue and if 

uncoordinated will diminish the level of 

amenity our ward enjoys and it is this amenity 

that makes it the attractive and accessible 

environment we proudly call home. With the 

population now approaching 28500 and a 

diverse mix of culture now calling Halswell 

home, protection of this is a focus area for me. 

Aidanfield, Awatea, Halswell, Hoon Hay, 

Kennedy’s Bush, Knights Stream, Longhurst, 

Oaklands, Westlake, Westmorland, Wigram 

and rural sectors along with another 10+ new 

subdivisions being developed will increase our 

population beyond the 32000 estimated for 

2023. We are the largest Ward & Community 

Board in New Zealand. 

My strengths are knowledge of this growth, 

planning, transport and rating policies for 

urban and rural areas. Having made many 

past submissions to ECAN & Council I intend 

to ensure the community is informed and 

involved in processes affecting our immediate 

environment, and advocate for the best 

outcomes for residents of the Halswell Ward. 

Sporting facilities, recreational fields, 

parks, natural springs, rivers, the port hills, 

quarry, bike trails, summit road and the new 

stormwater wetlands are precious to us all and 

allow us to recreate in these areas be it active 

or passive. 

Please contact me anytime about anything 

027 942 0027 or 322 5201. Thank you. 

Our community is my priority. 

Authorised by Ross McFarlane, 52 Quaifes Road, Christchurch. 

Aaron Campbell Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna 

As an independent candidate for ECan in 

Christchurch West- Ōpuna, I’m standing up 

for the future of water and our quality of life in 

Canterbury. 

Cantabrians have been clear – we don’t want 

our precious, pure water given away or polluted 

with nitrates. 

As an independent, I’ve been clear from the 

start about what motivates me and what my 

goals are: 

· I’m a co-founding member of Aotearoa 

Water Action, formed to challenge ECan 

granting consents in Belfast for water bottling. 

· Nitrates in groundwater are a looming 

disaster for Christchurch and toxic levels are 

being recorded in rural Canterbury. ECan 

has enabled irrigation, dairy intensification on 

unsuitable soils. 

· Last year, I spoke out against the lobbying 

of government by Water NZ seeking mandatory/ 

permanent chlorination and a new water 

regulator. The CCC quit Water NZ three weeks 

later. 

· ECan has overseen falling bus patronage 

and funding cuts, despite population growth. We 

need an accessible, affordable, zero-emission 

network. Everyone benefits when more people 

use public transport. 

I grew up on a sheep farm so I’m far from 

anti-farming. It is the responsibility of ECan to 

push for substantive change to the RMA, to 

protect our water and soils, the rural economy 

and restore biodiversity. 

As a company director, community board 

member and business mentor I have a solid 

background in governance and financial 

management. 

I’ve spoken out against water bottling, 

chlorination, nuisance quarry dust and I have 

supported measures reducing congestion, 

improving accessibility (disability) and promoting 

public transport. 

Authorised by A. Campbell, 3 Kilsythe Place, Christchurch. 

Lianne Dalziel Christchurch Mayor - Standing for re-election 

Re-elect Lianne Dalziel Mayor 

“I love Christchurch and am confident about our 

future. With my experience and inclusive style 

of leadership, we can tackle any challenges that 

lie ahead, while seizing every opportunity that 

comes our way.” 

It is vital we keep the momentum going. 

My immediate priorities are: 

Water: Investment in our infrastructure will 

deliver pure water safely to your home. I 

will fight Government-imposed mandatory 

chlorination. 

Rates: I will bring rates rises down while 

ensuring continued infrastructure investment, 

and balancing council debt and inflation. 

Central City: A vibrant city centre is essential. 

Having secured $300m for Christchurch, the 

stadium will be a multi-use facility. I will continue 

to back the developers leading the way. 

Sustainability: I am committed to reducing our 

city’s carbon footprint, and helping communities 

prepare for the impacts of climate change. 

Eastern Alliance: An alliance of contractors will 

deliver a fully integrated programme of works 

across the east, fixing the roads, footpaths and 

pipes and building stopbanks. 

Do it once, do it right.

Peter Ballantyne Standing for Canterbury District Health Board 

Peter has considerable experience in the 

health sector having served as Deputy Chair of 

the Canterbury District Health Board and Chair 

of the West Coast District Health Board. 

Peter believes the health board has worked 

tirelessly to meet the needs of Cantabrians, 

but has been constrained by lack of funding 

.Peter considers that he is well placed to 

advocate strongly for equitable funding for our 

health needs in Canterbury. This, combined 

with efficiencies in service, will enable more 

funds to be available to meet the increased 

demands of health issues such as mental 

health, cancer and elective surgery in order to 

ensure that our communities get well, stay well 

and live well closer to home. Addressing the 

increasing needs of our ageing population is 

a continuing demand on our health services. 

There is also need to remove the capital 

charge, and progress the rate of our facility 

rebuilds to ensure our people receive timely 

and appropriate treatment in modern hospital 

facilities. He is very conscious of the safety and 

wellbeing of our health workforce which has 

been operating under tremendous pressure 

since the earthquakes while continuing to 

maintain high standards of service. 

Peter was previously a partner in the 

international consulting firm Deloitte. He 

currently serves on the CDHB Quality, Finance, 

Audit, and Risk Committee and on the 

University of Canterbury Council. 

A life long Cantabrian, Peter is a greatgrandson 

of John Ballantyne, founder of 

Ballantynes Department Store. Peter’s wife 

Claire worked as a registered nurse with 

the CDHB and his daughter is a Consultant 

Geriatrician. With two sons, an engineer and a 

film director, Peter’s leisure time is spent with 

family, grandchildren and sailing. 

If you wish to contact Peter you can email him 

at prballantyne@yahoo.com 

Authorised by Peter Ballantyne, 37 Waiwetu Street, Christchurch. 

John Minto Standing for Christchurch Mayor 

I am standing as a KOA (Keep our Assets 

Canterbury) candidate for mayor because we 

want a future for Christchurch which makes 

sense. 

The city faces three big challenges: a 

climate emergency, a water supply threatened 

by contaminants and many people struggling 

on poverty incomes without dignity or selfrespect. 

Our policies are to reduce greenhouse 

gas emissions with free and frequent public 

transport; provide a local zone for Canterbury 

businesses and co-operatives in the city 

centre; rebuild the 400 council rental homes 

destroyed in the earthquakes; future-proof 

our water supply and develop a plan for 

swimmable rivers; rate increases kept to the 

rate of inflation and a minimum of the living 

wage for all council work. 

As well as significantly reducing our 

greenhouse gas emissions, fare-free public 

transport will create a more cohesive, less 

divided city as people mix and mingle on 

modern, low-emission buses with free wifi. 

It will also save families approximately four 

weeks pay per year in transport costs which 

will be spent in the local economy giving a 

boost to local businesses and co-operatives. 

This policy will not increase rates because 

it will be paid for from existing government 

budgets by rebalancing transport funding away 

from new roads in favour of public transport. 

These policies will improve our lives while 

saving the council money. More details are at

I have been an elected member since 2013.

I am a proactive, results-focussed candidate 

with the enthusiasm and energy needed to

Chrys Horn Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna 

We must protect and regenerate our precious 

water resources and our natural heritage, and 

find ways to lessen climate change and deal 

with climate disruption. 

We must improve public transport and 

increase its use around the city. 

We need the CCC and ECan to work together 

much more constructively than has recently 

been the case. 

I’m a team player who has worked for many 

years on environmental issues with a wide 

range of communities. We’ve solved problems 

and reached common goals by working together 

to make things happen. I’d like to see ECan 

working well with communities and with other 

councils to progress action on the issues above. 

I have a BSc in Botany, A masters in Parks 

and Recreation Management and a PhD in 

social science. For seven years I worked at 

Manaaki Whenua/ Landcare Research as a 

social researcher where I worked with science 

teams looking at a range of environmental 

issues. My work focused on helping 

communities to work together to understand 

the science, understand their problems and to 

develop solutions that were good for them and 

good for the local environment. I wanted to work 

more directly on these issues that I kept seeing, 

so I left, set up my own business and began 

working in my own community. 

Since the earthquakes, I been working in 

community development in the South West of 

Christchurch in response to the need that I saw 

there.

Craig Pauling Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna 

Tēnā koutou, 

I want to be part of a new Environment 

Canterbury that secures better outcomes for 

our land and water, and all that call our region 

home. 

It is achievable if those at the council table 

work together, from both rural and urban 

communities, to face the challenges we have 

and explore land use opportunities that can 

regenerate our soil, enhance our water quality, 

and help restore our native birds, plants and 

fish. 

Born and raised in here in Ōtautahi, I care 

deeply about our whenua and as a father 

I am driven to protect and enhance our 

unique natural and cultural heritage for future 

generations to enjoy. Having Ngāi Tahu, 

Ngāti Mutunga, English, Scottish and Welsh 

heritage, I understand the importance of

Aaron Keown Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Harewood Ward 

I am Aaron Keown, your councillor for the 

Harewood ward, and I represent you on the 

CDHB. I am proud to say I’m the chair of the 

CCC Disabilities Working Group. I am married 

with three children and we live here in the ward. 

I also own a small business that employs a 

handful of people and helps with growing the 

Event & Tourism industry in Christchurch. 

I have met many of you in my time as an 

elected member as I’m always contactable and 

I do my best to get good outcomes for our ward 

and the hard working rate payers that live here. 

My voting record shows I’ve been true to my 

word on a number of issues (traffic lights, rates, 

chlorine) and will speak up when something 

isn’t right. I’m outcome focused and constantly 

look for the best value for your money. 

The next three years requires a council 

that is going to be focused on the big issues. 

Firstly we have to keep rates down and I have 

not supported the recent huge increases. We 

have to fix our roads and get them back to pre 

quake quality within the next three years, not 

the planned 30 years. Finally we have to make 

sure the Christchurch economy is in a strong 

position to deliver a lifestyle we can aspire to for 

all residents. 

I have always tried to be available to the 

residents of Harewood so if you ever have 

issues please contact me by emailing: 

aaron.keown@ccc.govt.nz or calling me on 

021 822 766. 

To keep up with issues and events in our 

ward please join me on Facebook - 

Aaron Keown Councillor for Harewood.

Darryll Park Standing for Christchurch Mayor 

Hello there, I am Darryll Park, a proud 

Cantabrian, and extremely passionate about this, 

our city of Christchurch. 

I have lived and worked in and around 

Christchurch all of my life. 

In the past I was the CEO of Christchurch 

& Canterbury Marketing Ltd, and I helped 

to reposition Tourism under the government 

Tourism 2010 Strategy, as well as past board 

member of Civil Aviation Authority & Aviation 

Security Services, two government agencies and 

was employed as Air NZ South Island Manager 

until 1998. 

Nowadays I am the co-owner of Oxford 

Management Services, a property development 

and management company supporting 

hospitality, Chair of Mondo Travel Group, and a 

Director of the Canterbury Rugby Union and the 

Crusaders. 

What I’m standing for 

I am standing as a Mayoralty candidate for 

Christchurch in the upcoming elections. I am 

campaigning to ‘Move Christchurch Forward’, 

with a focus on common sense, a back to basics 

approach and better ways to move us forward. 

Why am I doing this? 

Quite simply, I want to restore public trust in 

Christchurch’s local leadership and with your 

help, do what’s needed to be done to make 

Christchurch, New Zealand’s most liveable city. 

This will mean being accountable and 

transparent to you, the voter, ratepayer, resident 

and business community. Our key areas of 

focus are rates, water, infrastructure, tourism, 

sustainability, institutions and events, crime and 

communities. I will be revealing our policies over 

the coming weeks. 

There is much to be done, and if elected, I will 

stand aside from my current business interests 

and governance roles to ensure my focus on this 

city is absolute. 

Thank you for your interest, and if you want to 

help move Christchurch forward, I look forward 

to your vote.

Tasty Bites 

Sweet vegan classics from Asia 

Try a vegan take on 

some Asian classics 

Indonesian crumpets 

Makes 20 

Ingredients 

250ml (1 cup) soy or coconut 

milk 

7g sachet dried active yeast 

1 tsp coconut sugar 

300g (2 cups) plain flour 

2 tsp bicarbonate of soda 

1 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp vanilla powder 

Olive oil or vegan butter, for 

greasing 

Suggested toppings: 

Coconut yoghurt, vegan butter, 

pure maple syrup, fresh berries, 

shredded basil leaves, dried 

edible flowers, hemp seeds, icing 

sugar. 

Directions 

Gently warm the soy or 

coconut milk and 250ml (one 

cup) of water in a saucepan 

over low heat until just warmed 

through (don’t warm the liquid 

too much or you will kill your 

yeast). Pour the liquid into a 

bowl and add the dried yeast 

and sugar. Set aside in a warm 

place for 15min or until the 

surface starts to foam. Sift the 

flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt 

and vanilla into a large bowl. 

Add the yeast mixture and stir to 

combine. Place a clean damp tea 

towel over the mixing bowl and 

set aside for 35-40min or until 

the mixture is risen and bubbly. 

Heat the oven to 100 deg C 

fan-forced. Lightly grease a large 

frying pan and set over mediumhigh 

heat, then lightly grease a 

few egg rings and place them in 

the pan. 

Stir the mixture again – it 

should look like thick, bubbly 

pancake batter. Add 60-125ml 

(¼ cup-½ cup) more water to 

reach the desired consistency if 

necessary. 

Spoon two to three 

tablespoons of the mixture into 

each egg ring. Cook for 2min 

or until the tops are completely 

covered in bubbles and the 

batter is dry. Remove the egg 

rings, transfer the crumpets 

to a heatproof plate and keep 

warm in the oven. Repeat with 

the remaining mixture to make 

about 20 crumpets. 

Serve the warm crumpets with 

your favourite toppings. 

Any leftover crumpets will 

keep in an airtight container in 

the fridge for two to three days 

or in the freezer for up to two 

weeks. 

Chana masala 

Serves 2 

Ingredients 

2 Tbsp avocado oil 

1 onion, diced 

400g can whole tomatoes 

400g can chickpeas, drained and 

rinsed (see tip) 

2 tsp coconut sugar 

2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon 

juice, plus lemon wedges to serve 

Sea salt 

Chopped coriander leaves, to 

serve 

Steamed basmati rice or garlic 

Naan to serve 

Masala curry paste 

2-3 long red chillies, roughly 

chopped 

3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped 

2 tsp ground cumin 

2-3cm piece of ginger, roughly 

chopped 

1 tsp ground turmeric 

1/2 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp black peppercorns 

1 tsp garam masala 

1 tsp ground coriander 

1 tsp brown mustard seeds 

Directions 

Using a large mortar and 

pestle, pound the masala curry 

paste ingredients for about 

10min or until you have a 

smooth paste (alternatively, 

you can use a small food 

processor.) 

Heat a saucepan over medium 

heat, add the oil and curry paste 

and saute for 30sec. 

Add the onion and saute for 

2min, then stir through the 

tomatoes and chickpeas. 

Reduce the heat to low and 

simmer for 30min or until 

reduced to a thick curry. 

Remove the pan from the heat, 

stir through the sugar and lemon 

juice, then taste and add a little 

salt, if necessary. 

Sprinkle the chana masala 

with coriander and serve with 

steamed basmati rice or garlic 

naan on the side and lemon 

wedges for squeezing over. 

Tip: Keep your chickpea liquid 

(aquafaba) to make sriracha 

mayo or caesar dressing.

Hydrate to elevate 

We all know drinking water is important, but the 

majority of us simply don’t drink enough even though 

we know it makes us feel great when we do. We look 

at the benefits and motivate you to drink more with a 

few tips on how to make it just a little more palatable. 

With over a quarter of Kiwis 

consuming less than two glasses of 

water a day and only 5% drinking 

more than the recommended eight, the 

message obviously hasn’t hit home on 

the importance of hydrating our body. 

A recent survey conducted by 

SodaStream found that Cantabrians 

are particularly guilty when it comes to 

their water intake. 

With 82% drinking less than six 

glasses of water a day, but with over 85% 

admitting they feel healthier when they 

drink more water, something needs to 

be done to bridge the gap in terms of 

what we know to be true and what we’re 

actually doing about it. 

This same survey revealed that 

although 41% of us limit how many soft 

drinks we consume due to our concerns 

over sugar content, the same number 

of people said tea or coffee is this their 

number one drink of choice. 

Some people even believe that the 

water consumed in their cup of Joe 

constitutes part of their water intake. 

This is a fallacy. 

As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as 

does alcohol too, it means we need to 

drink even more water to compensate. 

Not so surprisingly the reason we 

don’t drink nearly enough water is that 

we simply forget. Now with apps you 

can download direct to your smart 

phone, there are no more excuses. 

Further studies proved that people 

who had a SodaStream machine in their 

homes were more likely to drink more 

water. 

In fact, the study showed that people 

drank 30% more water. 

For those of us who aren’t used to 

drinking water like it’s going 

out of fashion, there are plenty of ways 

to increase the fun factor while still 

being healthy. 

After 

Before 

By simply turning tap water into sparkling water with a 

SodaStream machine and adding a splash of fresh lemon juice 

or naturally squeezed fruit juice, is bound to have a positive 

impact on our health and wellbeing.

Cleansed and cured? 

Many common health problems can 

all be easily solved with one simple 

approach according to a leading New 

Zealand Medical Herbalist Brett Elliott. 

He found in his clinical practice that 

most of his clients have similar common 

health complaints and that it all could be 

traced back to digestive disorders. Did 

you know up to 50% of the population 

suffer from common health conditions 

like; chronic constipation, acid reflux, 

bloating, gas, ulcers, irritable bowel 

syndrome, crohn’s disease, coeliac 

disease, haemorrhoids, gallstones, 

cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, 

abdominal weight gain, skin complaints 

and many more and can all come back to 

a poor digestive system. 

He wanted to find a simple solution 

everyone could use to support their 

bodies natural healing without the side 

effects of pharmaceutical medications 

that often only ease or cover the 

symptoms without healing as well as 

often having many side effects. Brett 

knew everything in the body depends on 

the digestive system working properly 

and so went about developing “The 

Ultimate Herbal Detox Body Cleanse 

Program” a simple to use two week 

program. It not only supports the whole 

digestive system but also helps cleanse 

the entire body of toxins and parasites. 

The program contains four different 

all herb formulas all in capsule form 

that need to be taken twice daily. These 

capsules can be blended into a smoothie 

if you prefer. Colon-aid is designed to 

support a healthy bowel movement, 

increases the secretion of gastric 

juices and bile and promote appetite 

and digestion. Digez-aid soothes and 

stimulates healthy 

digestion and 

absorption of 

vital nutrients. 

Sym-lax is a 

bulking fibre to 

cleanse and heal 

the intestines 

and bowels. It 

also makes you 

feel less hungry. 

Liva-food is the 

final nutrient 

rich formula to 

support a healthy 

liver function. 

It supports 

detoxing the 

body of toxins 

and heavy 

metals. 

The program supports the bodies’ 

organs to do their job. The formulas are 

New Zealand made and contain a total 

of 24 high potency herbs making it quite 

possibly the most comprehensive “do 

it yourself ” herbal detox body cleanse 

program in the world. Brett has refined 

the formula over 20 years and has now 

sold over 100, 000 kits world-wide. He 

regularly receives incredible feedback 

from users with many re-doing the 

program once or twice yearly. 

With toxic overload and many 

diseases sky-rockerting now is the 

time to make a positive change by 

cleansing, nourishing and helping build 

your body to a better health.
