Wheelchair<br />
users have<br />
issues<br />
at Nga<br />
Puna Wai<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
CONCERNS HAVE been raised<br />
about accessibility issues for<br />
wheelchair users at Nga Puna<br />
Wai.<br />
The city council say it is aware<br />
of these concerns and will put<br />
in place measures to improve<br />
accessibility.<br />
Spreydon-Cashmere<br />
Community Board chairwoman<br />
Karolin Potter said wheelchair<br />
access at the venue is not good<br />
enough and the rest of the board<br />
agrees.<br />
Ms Potter brought to the board<br />
a wheelchair user’s concerns about<br />
having trouble seeing when they<br />
use the wheelchair seating areas at<br />
the venue to watch sport.<br />
For wheelchair users, Ms Potter<br />
said: “The fence around the field is<br />
at their eyeline or just below it, so<br />
you’re either looking through wire<br />
netting or you’re looking at the<br />
fence post along the top rail.”<br />
Ms Potter who used to work for<br />
the Human Rights Commission<br />
said this is not good enough.<br />
“My experience over the years is<br />
that we fail and fail and fail again<br />
on the issue of disability access.”<br />

EFFORTS ARE under way to<br />
secure additional funding for<br />
the Hornby mega-facility to<br />
ensure residents get the key<br />
features on their wish list for the<br />

Hornby community leaders<br />
met with city council staff on<br />
Wednesday to discuss ways<br />
of getting additional funding<br />
for the new<br />
Hornby<br />
Library, Service<br />
Centre and<br />

But details<br />
on the outcome<br />

are staying<br />
under wraps for now.<br />
Hornby resident Marc Duff<br />
said the funding is still being<br />
worked on behind the scenes<br />
but details will be revealed<br />
soon.<br />
Previously Hornby resident<br />
Mark Peters, who was also at<br />
the meeting on Wednesday, told<br />

formed between the city<br />

The city council currently has<br />
$35.7 million going towards the<br />
facility. However, a maximum of<br />
$5.8 million could be needed to<br />
secure the facility’s foundations<br />

In Brief<br />
NO NAME FOR SUBDIVISION<br />
The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board has decided<br />
to hold off from making a<br />
decision on naming a road in<br />
Yaldhurst Park subdivision again.<br />
The unnamed road provides<br />
access from Yaldhurst Park to<br />
properties that are west of the<br />
subdivision, known as Lot 22.<br />
The board had deferred the<br />
decision in November last year<br />
due to concerns by resident Colin<br />
Stokes. Mr Stokes says naming<br />
the road would legitimise it but<br />
he also says it does not have the<br />
required stormwater provisions.<br />
The proposed name for the road is<br />
Jack Clarke Rd.<br />
FUNDING GRANTED<br />
Two community organisations<br />
have received funding from the<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board to help<br />
with the operation of their<br />
organisations. The South<br />
Christchurch Christian<br />
Community Trust was granted<br />
$2000 to go towards the costs of<br />
delivering event Carols@Westlake.<br />
Carols@Westlake is an event<br />
that has been running annually<br />
for 17 years and is attended by<br />
several thousand people each year.<br />
Another grant of $2000 was given<br />
to the Hornby Cricket Club to go<br />
towards the purchase of a roller.<br />

No new quarry consent for Fulton Hogan<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
FULTON HOGAN will<br />
not have to apply for a new<br />
resource consent to quarry<br />
near Templeton – in spite of<br />
the raft of changes made to its<br />
application.<br />
The three-person hearings<br />
panel, chaired by Rob van<br />
Voorhuysen, has decided the<br />
changes made to the company’s<br />
original<br />
application do<br />
not require a<br />
new resource<br />
consent.<br />
Environment<br />
Canterbury<br />
and the district<br />
Simon Moore<br />
council called<br />
for public<br />
submissions on<br />
whether the application should<br />
be a new process due to the<br />
changes, but these were required<br />
to be authored by legal counsel.<br />
The councils called for them<br />
after Fulton Hogan made<br />
changes to its application, which<br />
included:<br />
•Decreasing the total active<br />
open area of the quarry from<br />
40ha to a maximum of 26ha.<br />
•Originally the application<br />
sought to provide for up to 1500<br />
heavy vehicle movements per<br />
day with an average of 1050<br />
DECISION: The changes made to Fulton Hogan’s application<br />
to quarry near Templeton will not require it to apply for a new<br />
resource consent.<br />

movements per day. But Fulton<br />
Hogan now wishes to amend the<br />
proposal to a daily limit of 800<br />
heavy vehicles.<br />
•Fulton Hogan initially<br />
intended to develop a new<br />
dedicated heavy vehicle access<br />
from Jones Rd and use the<br />
existing access off the road as<br />
a dedicated light vehicle access<br />
to the site. Instead it wants<br />
to provide a “shared” heavy<br />
and light vehicle access point,<br />
meaning there will only be one<br />
access point.<br />
Upset residents wanted to<br />
have a say on the changes.<br />
But only the submitters who<br />
chose to speak at the upcoming<br />
hearing in November will get<br />
the opportunity to have a second<br />
say on Fulton Hogan’s amended<br />
application.<br />
Quarry opponent Simon<br />
Moore was not “too worried<br />
about” the hearings panel’s<br />
decision to not require a new<br />
consent from Fulton Hogan.<br />
“We have got the opportunity<br />
to be notified and have all the<br />
submissions which we may not<br />
get if they redo it,” he said.<br />
His biggest concern is<br />
not giving submitters the<br />
opportunity to amend their<br />
written submissions to reflect<br />
the changes Fulton Hogan has<br />
made.<br />
On behalf of Fulton Hogan,<br />
a lawyer has since said the<br />
company would not be opposed<br />
to submitters who did not<br />
want to initially be heard at the<br />
hearing to now be heard.<br />
The hearing on the company’s<br />
proposal to open a 170ha quarry<br />
between Dawsons, Curraghs,<br />
Jones and Maddisons Rd will be<br />
held in November.<br />
The only submission made on<br />
treating the resource consent<br />
as a new process was from legal<br />
counsel on behalf of Fulton<br />
Hogan.<br />
It said: “The proposed change<br />
in sequencing and staging of<br />
the application does not change<br />
the scale or intensity of the<br />
proposed activity.”<br />
ECan and the district council’s<br />
legal counsel had a similar view,<br />
saying the changes will “actually<br />
reduce the intensity or impact of<br />
the anticipated effects.”<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
Evidence<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
FULTON HOGAN has released<br />
its evidence ahead of a major<br />
hearing next month over its plans<br />
to open its quarry in Templeton.<br />
About 16 reports have been<br />
received by Environment Canterbury<br />
in support of the proposed<br />
quarry at Dawsons, Curraghs,<br />
Jones and Maddisons Rds.<br />
Experts have given a wide<br />
range of evidence on air quality,<br />
human health, traffic effects,<br />
noise and water quality and<br />
water use.<br />
Evidence has also been received<br />
from Fulton Hogan national<br />
environment and sustainability<br />
manager Donald Chittock and<br />
general manager Craig Stewart.<br />
In his evidence, Mr Stewart<br />
said: “Fulton Hogan has invested<br />
a significant amount of time and<br />
resource into selecting and developing<br />
the proposal for Roydon<br />
Quarry.”<br />
He said the quarry will be<br />
commercially viable and has a<br />
real opportunity to showcase<br />
exemplary quarry management<br />
and rehabilitation. “Fulton<br />
Hogan is committed to<br />
continuing engagement with the<br />
(Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton)<br />
community board beyond the<br />
consent process.”<br />

released for hearing<br />
“We want to ensure . . .<br />
Roydon is operated as a positive<br />
contributor to communities.”<br />
Mr Chittock said as a longterm<br />
neighbour, Fulton Hogan<br />
is committed to maintaining a<br />
good relationship with the<br />
Templeton community.<br />
He said the company<br />
has made a number<br />
of changes following<br />
consultation with the<br />
public.<br />
They include no<br />
processing of aggregates<br />
before 7am or after 8pm<br />
and there will be a limit<br />
of 800 truck movements<br />
a day.<br />
Heavy vehicles will<br />
also not travel on Jones<br />
Rd (west of the access),<br />
Dawsons Rd north of<br />
Jones Rd, or on Jones<br />
Rd east of Dawsons Rd<br />
between 8pm and 6am.<br />
Now all submitters<br />
intending to use expert<br />
evidence in support of<br />
their submissions will have to<br />
provide it by <strong>October</strong> 14.<br />
It comes as Fulton Hogan’s<br />
legal counsel said it would not<br />
oppose allowing people to speak<br />
at the hearing who initially<br />
only opted to provide written<br />
submissions.<br />
But ECan said this will be<br />
determined by the independent<br />
hearings panel.<br />
Templeton Residents’<br />
Association treasurer Jolene<br />
Eagar said it is important<br />
the hearings process is<br />
made as easy as possible<br />
for people not used to<br />
public speaking.<br />
“These are people who<br />
care about their town<br />
and where they are living<br />
and how this is going<br />
to affect them. We have<br />
to make sure it is not<br />
off-putting to people,”<br />
she said.<br />
Meanwhile, details<br />
on the venues for the<br />
upcoming hearing have<br />
been revealed.<br />
From November 18-22,<br />
it will be held at the West<br />
Melton Community<br />
Centre in the Pearce<br />
Lounge from 9am-5pm.<br />
The second week<br />
from December 2-6, will be at<br />
the Wigram Base Hotel in The<br />

The third week from December<br />

Concerns over access<br />
•From page 1<br />
“Nga Puna Wai is brand new<br />
and this made me feel more<br />
angry than I could possibly<br />
discuss with you about this<br />
issue. It’s just outrageous,” said<br />
Ms Potter.<br />
The board has asked city<br />
council staff to investigate<br />
accessibility issues at Nga Puna<br />
Wai, including introducing space<br />
for spectators in wheelchairs to<br />
have an unobstructed view of the<br />
sports fields.<br />
Said city<br />
council manager<br />
of recreation<br />
and sports<br />
facilities David<br />
Bailey: “We<br />
David Bailey<br />
value the<br />
concerns and<br />
have investigated<br />
one complaint about the hockey<br />
wheelchair spectator area not<br />
being accessible. In this instance,<br />
the limited access was due<br />
to temporary fencing<br />
incorrectly closing off the area.<br />
The issue<br />
was rectified on the same day.”<br />
Ms Potter said some of the<br />
wheelchair seating at Nga Puna<br />
Wai is separated from the other<br />
spectator areas with little shelter<br />
from the elements.<br />
Said Mr Bailey: “Within the<br />
UNFAIR: Visibility from wheelchair areas at Nga Puna Nai has<br />
been raised as an issue and the city council says it will take<br />
measures to improve accessibility at the venue.<br />
covered spectator seating for<br />
hockey there are dedicated<br />
spaces at the top of the stand<br />
for people who use wheelchairs.<br />
Fixed seats are below this<br />
viewing platform for other<br />
spectators. The covered seating<br />
provides some protection from<br />
the weather, specifically rain.<br />
The rear and sides of the<br />
stand provide some wind<br />
protection.”<br />
Ms Potter said accessibility<br />
and inclusiveness at the facility<br />
has to be improved.<br />
“The premise is, is that<br />
everything we do should be just<br />
like an open door, it should be<br />
built for everyone.”<br />
Mr Bailey said the city<br />
council’s current plans to<br />
improve accessibility at Nga<br />
Puna Wai will involve installing<br />
“improved signage directing<br />
wheelchair users to the accessible<br />
viewing stands.”<br />

Incredible story of escape told to<br />
•From page 1<br />
Said Dr Lengoc: “I made the<br />
decision to leave because it<br />
would not have been very safe<br />
for me to stay. We did not know<br />
what they (the communists)<br />
would do to us.”<br />
Having witnessed first-hand<br />
the devastation of the war, the<br />
opening of the award-winning<br />
musical Miss Saigon this week<br />
will mark a poignant moment<br />
for the Vietnamese Society of<br />
Christchurch spokesman.<br />
As part of the lead-up to the<br />
opening of the musical produced<br />
by Showbiz Christchurch,<br />
Dr Lengoc, who has lived in<br />
Christchurch for 43 years, was<br />
invited to share his story with<br />
the theatre company.<br />
Days before the end of the war,<br />
Dr Lengoc and his wife were<br />
two of 108 South Vietnamese<br />
“adopted” by his wife’s employer,<br />
American John Riordan, of<br />
Citibank Saigon, who organised<br />
the escape for all of his staff and<br />
their relatives.<br />
“He said whoever wants to go<br />
just put their name down and he<br />
organised the exit. Everyone was<br />
to wait until someone knocked<br />
on the door of your house and<br />
you had to leave within a few<br />
minutes. No warning at all,” Dr<br />
Lengoc said.<br />
The day before he was due to<br />
go through with the escape, Dr<br />
Lengoc married his wife at a<br />
wedding registrar so his name<br />
could be added to the list of<br />
relatives seeking to escape the<br />
country.<br />
The couple along with the<br />
other refugees were taken to<br />
a secret location – a house Mr<br />

Riordan was renting – where<br />
they were told to wait to be<br />
picked up and taken to Tan Son<br />
Nhut International Airport.<br />
While men between the ages<br />
of 18-45 were drafted to join the<br />
frontline of the South Vietnam<br />
army, Dr Lengoc was exempted<br />
due to the excellent grades he<br />
was achieving while studying<br />
a bachelor degree in animal<br />
science.<br />
Initially, the plan was for the<br />
escapees to flee on a Boeing 727<br />
Mr Riordan had hired from<br />
Hong Kong.<br />
But the pilot who was set to<br />
take the refugees was unable<br />
to obtain permission from the<br />
Vietnamese authorities to land<br />
in Saigon. Dr Lengoc could see<br />
the window of opportunity to<br />
escape was narrowing.<br />
“No one knew how many more<br />
days we would have. Once the<br />
communists took over Saigon,<br />
no planes would be allowed to<br />
leave.”<br />
But Mr Riordan quickly set up<br />
another plan, co-ordinating with<br />
the United States Air Force to<br />
take the refugees to the island of<br />
Guam.

Women and children were<br />
given first priority, while the men<br />
were last to leave.<br />
Knowing the evacuation<br />
would have to be stopped when<br />
the communists took over, the<br />
men had a higher risk of being<br />
trapped in Vietnam. Dr Lengoc<br />
recalls the fear he felt when he<br />
was taken to the airport.<br />
“At the time, the soldiers<br />
understood some people were<br />
leaving the country and were<br />
jealous, we didn’t know how<br />
angry they would be if they knew<br />
we were leaving for the airport.”<br />
The bus was stopped at least<br />
twice by Vietnam soldiers and<br />
police.<br />
Not knowing what the soldiers<br />
were thinking, Dr Lengoc<br />
contemplated the prospect of<br />
being shot or harmed.<br />
“We all had our head down<br />
so they couldn’t see through the<br />
window. I looked down and John<br />
(Riordan) was saying something<br />
to the soldiers and policeman<br />
and handed over American<br />
dollars and then we were allowed<br />
to leave.”<br />
They were taken to Guam on a<br />
Lockheed C-130 Hercules.<br />
“As soon as the door of the<br />
plane closed I felt so relieved,” he<br />
said.<br />
The refugees stayed at a<br />
SAFE: Minh Lengoc and his late wife Dung after they arrived<br />
safely in New Zealand in 1975 following the end of the Vietnam<br />
War.<br />
naval base in Guam, which was<br />
converted into camp, for 10<br />
days. Due to the United States<br />
immigration laws, the group<br />
was then taken to another army<br />
camp in California.<br />
Dr Lengoc described feeling<br />
very “un-welcomed” and feared<br />
for his safety.<br />
Fortunately before the fall<br />
of Saigon, he was granted a<br />
scholarship in 1970 to study<br />
a post-graduate diploma and<br />
master’s degree in agriculture<br />
and a master’s degree in animal<br />
science at Massey University<br />
in Palmerston North, which he<br />
finished in 1973. During his time<br />
there, Dr Lengoc became friends<br />
with Jim Mann.<br />
Mr Mann became a medical<br />
technologist at Palmerston<br />
North Hospital before he served<br />
in Vietnam with the New<br />
Zealand medical team for a year.<br />
After a call for help, Mr Mann<br />
arranged through the Ministry<br />
of Foreign Affairs and Trade for<br />
Dr Lengoc and his wife to travel<br />
to New Zealand. The couple<br />
stayed with Mr Mann for two<br />
weeks in Palmerston North,<br />
where Dr Lengoc got a job as a<br />
garment presser.<br />
Nine months later, he found<br />
a job teaching at Lincoln<br />
University where he completed<br />
his post-graduate doctoral<br />
degree.<br />
He then went on to work at<br />
biotechnology company, Life<br />
Technologies, for 25 years before<br />
retiring in 2<strong>01</strong>2.<br />
Dr Lengoc remained good<br />
friends with Mr Mann and<br />
visited him every year until he<br />
passed away last month. In 2009<br />
he suffered another great loss<br />
when Mrs Lengoc passed away<br />
following a five-year battle with<br />
bowel cancer. But before she<br />
died, Mrs Lengoc arranged for<br />
her husband to marry one of<br />
her friends, Thao, so he would<br />
not be alone. The couple were<br />
friends with Thao when while<br />
studying at university. Thao had<br />
a boyfriend at the time, but lost<br />
contact with him following the<br />
war and never married. Before<br />
Mrs Lengoc died, the couple<br />
arranged a trip to Vietnam in<br />
2008 to reunite with Thao.<br />
It was following the trip, Mrs<br />
Lengoc told her husband: “You<br />
go remarry Thao when I pass<br />
away. Don’t remarry anyone else,<br />
Thao is a good person.”<br />
Dr Lengoc initially declined,<br />
as he was preoccupied with<br />
his wife’s failing health. But<br />
following her death, he travelled<br />
back to Vietnam before<br />
organising for Thao to come to<br />
New Zealand.<br />
“She has been with me<br />
since 2<strong>01</strong>0, we are very happy<br />
together,” Dr Lengoc said.<br />
Dr Lengoc is one of 14 siblings.<br />
Following the war, three of his<br />
brothers who served in the South<br />
Vietnam army were sent to reeducation<br />
camps.<br />
Another sister tried to escape<br />
by boat over the South China<br />
Sea but was never seen again.<br />
His other siblings weren’t in the<br />
army and weren’t harmed.<br />
Having lived the conflict of the<br />
war, what Dr Lengoc appreciates<br />
most about Christchurch is the<br />
friendliness and peacefulness<br />
of the people. When he retired<br />
he established the Vietnamese<br />
Society of Christchurch which<br />
has 363 members.<br />
Dr Lengoc and Thao have been<br />
invited to attend the opening of<br />
Miss Saigon this week.<br />
While he has not seen the<br />
show before, he said what<br />
women endured during the war<br />
is often overlooked and this show<br />
will depict this hardship.<br />

Dig out your historic photos for competition<br />
GIVEN TIME, even the most<br />
ordinary photo can be an<br />
extraordinary window into a<br />
different world.<br />
This photo, picturing the<br />
intersection of High, Hereford<br />
and Colombo Sts, was a<br />
highly commended entry in<br />
Christchurch City Libraries’ 2008<br />
photo hunt. It was submitted<br />
by Tony Bowie and shows his<br />
mother and grandmother on<br />
their way to shop in High St in<br />
the late 1950s.<br />
During the 1950s, the central<br />
city was the prime destination<br />
for shopping in Christchurch,<br />
and women would don hats and<br />
gloves for their trip into town.<br />
The central city enjoyed this<br />
shopping heyday in the first half<br />
of the 20th-century, coinciding<br />
with the peak of reliance on<br />
public transport – first trams,<br />
then buses. Cathedral Square<br />
was the central hub of the<br />
city’s transport network, which<br />
connected the suburbs to the city<br />
centre.<br />
It was customary for people<br />
to go into town to shop, and to<br />
“take tea” in the tea rooms of the<br />
major department stores located<br />
on both sides of Cathedral<br />
Square.<br />

Community centre site blessed<br />
• By Claire Booker<br />
A SITE blessing and sod-turning<br />
ceremony held last week marked<br />
preparations for work on the<br />
new $3.1 million St Albans<br />
Community Centre.<br />
Contractors are due to be onsite<br />
by early November.<br />
But some residents are concerned<br />
about the high-cost for<br />
the centre, and lack of sustainable<br />
energy and water systems.<br />
But St Albans Resident’s Association<br />
board member Lynne<br />
O’Keefe said the association is<br />
helping to ensure these systems<br />
are put in place. She said this is a<br />
plan for the future.<br />
“There obviously has been a<br />
lot put into it [community centre]<br />
now, but we will be working<br />
to get that sorted,” she said.<br />
The single-storey building will<br />
be on the site formerly occupied<br />
by the earthquake-damaged<br />
centre – a block of land that<br />
runs between Colombo St and<br />
Caledonian Rd.<br />
The building will have modern<br />
timber and a glass facade with<br />
400 sq m of floor space, including<br />
a hall with a stage, three<br />
meeting rooms, an office and a<br />
kitchen.<br />
A central gathering space<br />
will open out on to a deck to<br />
the north, delivering light and<br />

A car park adjacent to the<br />
building will provide off-street<br />

while bike racks will be available<br />
on both road frontages.<br />
City council head of community<br />
support, governance and<br />
partnerships John Filsell said<br />
the new centre meets a range of<br />
community needs and will be<br />
available to various groups.<br />
“Shared spaces build a<br />

environment for closer connections.<br />
As a community hub, it<br />
will provide a base for many<br />
groups that cater to all ages and<br />
interests,” he said.<br />
Many local groups are currently<br />
operating out of makeshift<br />
spaces around St Albans.<br />
“With the new centre a step<br />
closer, they can soon be under<br />
one roof and continue to provide<br />
support to the local community,<br />
along with plenty of activities and<br />
opportunities,” Mr Filsell said<br />
Community groups are<br />
already looking forward to utilising<br />
the new hub, with several<br />
indicating they plan to move<br />
from their present premises.<br />
A working party made up<br />
of Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board members and community<br />
representatives from groups including<br />
the St Albans Residents<br />
Association and the local business<br />
association agreed on the<br />
final floor plan.<br />
The building is expected to<br />
open next year.<br />
Easement<br />
approved for<br />
pump station<br />
upgrade<br />
AN EASEMENT has been<br />
granted at Paeroa Reserve.<br />
It is to allow the city council<br />
the rights to convey water and<br />
electricity and to drain water<br />
and sewage as part of works to<br />
upgrade the Tara Pump Station<br />
and to convert above-ground<br />
wellheads at the reserve.<br />
The Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
granted the Paeroa St easements<br />
on Tuesday.<br />
The recommendation was<br />
moved by board chairman<br />
Mike Mora and member Ross<br />
McFarlane.<br />
The easements will have<br />
a minimum width of 3m. A<br />
survey of the reserve will also<br />
be necessary to create the<br />
easements associated with the<br />
pump station upgrade.<br />
The upgrade associated to<br />
the easement are to replace the<br />
existing wellhead with an above<br />
ground wellhead which will be<br />
caged to meet the secure status<br />
requirement.<br />
The easement approved by<br />
the board is in line with the<br />
city council’s strategic priority<br />
for a safe and sustainable water<br />
supply and improved waterways.<br />

CHOO CHOO:<br />
Anna Thomas<br />
will be displaying<br />
one of her model<br />
train carriages<br />
at the Big Model<br />
Train Show at<br />
the Pioneer<br />
Recreation &<br />
Sport Centre. <br />
Model trains to go on show<br />
ANNA THOMAS is a<br />
keen rail modeller, skilfully<br />
creating New Zealand<br />
prototypes.<br />
Ms Thomas said her mother<br />
recalls her throwing a tantrum<br />
in Kmart when she was four<br />
because she couldn’t have a train<br />
set.<br />
“I did get one later. It was an<br />
American Santa-Fe set with a<br />
figure-eight track and a tunnel.<br />
I soon lost interest, probably<br />
because it wasn’t very realistic.’’<br />
The 26-year-old who<br />
works for an online distributor is<br />
keen on all things mechanical.<br />
For two years, she has been<br />
building a Di class diesel-electric<br />
locomotive to haul a train of<br />
ballast wagons.<br />
It will include a 9m wooden<br />
guard’s van carriage with a<br />
ballast spreader underneath.<br />
“I have talked to people<br />
who knew the Di class locos.<br />
That’s been pretty cool really,’ she<br />
said.<br />
The guard’s van will feature<br />
at the Big Model Train Show<br />
at Pioneer Recreation & Sport<br />
Centre on Saturday and Sunday,<br />
9.30am until 5pm.<br />
Ms Thomas’ train modelling<br />
is realistic. She is working with<br />
white metal kits.<br />
She is excited to be involved<br />
this year’s show.<br />
The show will feature model<br />
train clubs and individuals from<br />
throughout the South Island.<br />
Those presenting New Zealand<br />
prototypes are always popular.<br />
Last year a winning layout<br />
represented the Kaikoura<br />
Coast.<br />
The train show is an event for<br />
anyone thinking about getting<br />
involved with the hobby.<br />
•Entry to the Big Model<br />
Train Show is $5 for children,<br />

VILLA MARIA College<br />
students have the opportunity<br />
to put their business knowledge<br />
into practice at the school’s<br />
market day.<br />
Year 10 commerce students,<br />
including Beckenham’s<br />
Katie McHerron, were<br />
challenged to create a<br />
product and food item<br />
to sell to the college<br />
community.<br />
“My favourite<br />
part was presenting<br />
our prototype and<br />
receiving the feedback<br />
so we could improve<br />
our product before<br />
market day. I’m excited to be<br />
selling our coffee cups and cake<br />
mixes at the market and also<br />
helping out our chosen charity,”<br />
said Katie.<br />
“We had to choose products to<br />
sell, identify the unique selling<br />
point, develop a business plan,<br />
make prototypes and work<br />
on our marketing skills,” said<br />
year 10 student Kyra Clarkson,<br />
whose group is called Super<br />
Mugs.<br />
“We decided to sell reusable<br />
coffee cups, filled with a readyto-bake<br />
cake mix and cookie<br />
Katie McHerron<br />
dough.”<br />
Fellow student Keito Yoshida<br />
said: “We focussed on creating<br />
a product that was sustainable<br />
and environmentally-friendly,<br />
and encourages people to reuse<br />
their cups, rather than<br />
using disposable cups.”<br />
Commerce is an<br />
optional subject for<br />
year 10 students at<br />
Villa Maria College<br />
and is a combination of<br />
accounting, economics<br />
and business studies.<br />
It is a popular subject<br />
choice for students who<br />
enjoy the challenge of<br />
the market day event.<br />
Student Ruby Lundy said:<br />
“It was tricky to come up with<br />
a product that was unique<br />
and special so that we could<br />
attract lots of customers, but<br />
we’re really happy with our end<br />
product.”<br />
The students will decide<br />
on a charity to donate a portion<br />
of their profits to after the<br />
market.<br />
Other products at the market<br />
included reusable metal straws,<br />
face masks and lip scrubs, bubble<br />
tea and sweet treats.<br />

Oaklands Year 5/6 day out at the Canterbury<br />
Basketball Champs<br />
On Monday the 12th August, a team of talented and determined Year 6 girls<br />
competed at the Canterbury Basketball Championships.<br />
After many hours spent practicing with Mr. Forman, the girls were ready to take<br />
on the best of the best. Our highlight was beating West Melton 16-2. The girls<br />
showed great speed, accurate passing, and marked up close of defense.<br />
With narrow losses to St Josephs 8-7 and Marshlands 4-2, we were well<br />
prepared and showed plenty of<br />
heart and enthusiasm.<br />
A big thank you to all the parents<br />
who supported us for the day<br />
and Fiona for helping coach/<br />
manage.<br />
We are very lucky at Oaklands<br />
School to have Mr. Forman, who<br />
put in endless extra hours to<br />
give our students these extra<br />
opportunities. Well done girls!<br />
Hub 3’s St John Visit<br />
What do we do when someone needs our help?<br />
Hub 3 had Paula from St John come to visit us. She was able to teach us about<br />
what we can do when there is an emergency and what we need to know when<br />
calling an ambulance.<br />
We then got to practise bandaging up<br />
a pretend cut on our buddy using this<br />
little saying to help remind us- pack it,<br />
wrap it and raise it. We learnt how to<br />
make a ‘happy snail’ with our bandage.<br />
This helps the packing stay in place<br />
as our bandage is easy to put on and<br />
tight enough to keep it in place. These<br />
are skills that we can take out into the<br />
community and share with others.<br />
Oaklands School Chess Club<br />
This term the Oaklands<br />
School Chess Club<br />
has attended two main<br />
Canterbury Chess<br />
Competitions. The Individual<br />
year level Canterbury’s<br />
and the Social Canterbury<br />
Chess Competition. Both<br />
events were hosted by the<br />
Canterbury Inter School<br />
Chess Trust at Te Hapua,<br />
Halswell. During this term in<br />
week 5 Oaklands School entered the Individual Canterbury Chess Competition.<br />
We had Xiyi Zhang (Year 8), Harrison Stewart (Year 7) Jaxson Stove (Year 6),<br />
Jesslyn Tan (Year 5) and Didi Xue (Year 4) represent us.<br />
Didi Xue in the Year 4 division came 1st.<br />
Harrison Stewart in the Year 7 division came 7th<br />
Jaxson Stove in the Year 6 division came 10th equal.<br />
Jesslyn Tan in the Year 5 division came 15th equal.<br />
Xiyi Zhang in the Year 8 - 10 division came in 16th.<br />
Then in week 7 of this term Oaklands School had two teams entered in to the<br />
Social Canterbury Chess Competition.<br />
Representing the Year 7-8 team was Morgan Leoni (School Chess Captain),<br />
Jennifer Xu, Melissa Randall and Rani Survase.<br />
Representing the Year 1-6 team was Charlie Barnes, Patrick Corcoran, Jesslyn Tan<br />
and Billy Spivey.<br />
We are fortunate to have the wonderful assistance of Richie Christie from the<br />
Canterbury Chess Club. A big thank you from all in the Oaklands School Chess<br />
Club for all the assistance and coaching.<br />
Literacy Quiz success<br />
Congratulations to the two teams from<br />
Oaklands School who both finished<br />
in the top 3 in the recent South West<br />
Literacy Quiz held at Somerfield School<br />
last Thursday.<br />
The Oaklands Book Ninjas finished<br />
second with the Oaklanders team close<br />
behind in third place. Our wonderful<br />
reserve Milayna Gorman stepped in to<br />
support another school who was short<br />
of a player, demonstrating our CARE values magnificently. Congratulations to all<br />
students who took part and big thanks to Miss McFarlane and Mrs Ward who<br />
worked so hard to support the teams.<br />
Year 7/8 Ellesmere Speech<br />
Competition<br />
Matthew Randall (Year 7) and Annabel Keylard (Year<br />
8) represented Oaklands School at the Ellesmere<br />
Speech Competition on Monday 2nd September.<br />
Speech Topics<br />
Matthew - Devices are killing our society.<br />
Annabel - Equality in sports.<br />
As we all know, it is very hard to get up and speak in<br />
front of a large audience. Both Matthew and Annabel<br />
did a fabulous job. Well done to them both!

Hip-hop<br />
dancers to<br />
show moves<br />
in Sydney<br />
• By Claire Booker<br />
A GROUP of Papanui hiphop<br />
dancers are due to fly out<br />
to Sydney tomorrow for an<br />
international competition.<br />
Two dance crews from Zion<br />
Studios will compete at the<br />
World Supremacy Battleground<br />
International Championship this<br />
week.<br />
Head teacher<br />
Bronte Te Mete<br />
said Zion aims to<br />
create a positive<br />
environment for<br />
Bronte<br />
Te Mete<br />
people.<br />
“We use dance as<br />
a tool to build community<br />
and whanau and to build<br />
students up with life skills and<br />
positive mechanisms,” she said.<br />
The studio’s senior students<br />
competed in Hamilton at the<br />
World Supremacy Battleground<br />
qualifier recently and took out<br />
the secondary school-aged and<br />
open sections.<br />
“Both crews have been working<br />
tirelessly to create their own<br />
masterpieces to showcase on the<br />
world stage,” Miss Te Mete said.<br />
The competition runs over<br />
four days, with different<br />
workshops and classes around<br />
hip-hop culture and dance.<br />
Joshua jumps through hoops for court<br />
BALL IS LIFE: Joshua Sinclair has written to the Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton Community Board asking for a basketball<br />
court to be installed at Picton Reserve.<br />
Bid to get community board<br />
support for practice area<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
ONE OF Joshua Sinclair’s<br />
favourite pastimes is playing<br />
basketball.<br />
It’s more than just a game for<br />
the 12-year-old from Riccarton.<br />
Basketball<br />
provides a social<br />
outlet for Joshua<br />
and he can<br />
often be seen<br />
practicing his<br />
moves at Cobham<br />
Intermediate.<br />
But living on<br />
Picton Ave means<br />
Joshua has to walk<br />
nearly 50min to<br />
practice.<br />
So he has<br />
written to the<br />
Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board to<br />
get a basketball court installed<br />
in Picton Reserve.<br />
In a heart-warming letter,<br />
Joshua describes basketball as<br />
having a “magical power” to<br />
bring people together.<br />
He said basketball gets<br />
people together from a range of<br />
backgrounds for some fresh air<br />
and fitness work.<br />
Joshua has only been<br />
interested in basketball for<br />
‘Basketball still<br />
has a magical<br />
power to<br />
bring people<br />
together and<br />
have fun’<br />
– Joshua Sinclair<br />
the past year, but he has a real<br />
passion for sport, playing cricket<br />
and rugby for his school and<br />
clubs.<br />
He is due to start at<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
next year, and Joshua’s goal is<br />
to be selected<br />
to represent<br />
the school in<br />
basketball.<br />
His mother<br />
Debra supported<br />
Joshua’s letter<br />
and is happy<br />
he took the<br />
time to write<br />
to the board<br />
and make a<br />
difference to his<br />
community.<br />
She said the<br />
closest basketball<br />
court at Wharenui School is<br />
cracked and run-down, and it<br />
would be ideal to have a court<br />
nearby.<br />
Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
said it was lovely to see a<br />
handwritten letter from a<br />
young person bringing their<br />
concerns to the community<br />
board.<br />
The letter has been passed<br />
on to city council staff for<br />
consideration.<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> article on<br />
the new Hornby Library,<br />
Service Centre and South<br />
West Pool<br />
Sarah Taylor – Of course<br />
the city council should have<br />
approved this facility and glad<br />
they saw sense and listened to<br />
the residents rather than the<br />
community board members<br />
who voted against it. There’s no<br />
way as a resident in Riccarton<br />
I’ll be putting a tick beside either<br />
Broughton or Chu on my voting<br />
paper.<br />
They’ve just shown me that<br />
they don’t listen to residents<br />
views and instead follow their<br />
own personal agendas and how<br />
can I trust them not to do the<br />
same again? Can’t wait for it to<br />
be built.<br />
Dianne Downward –<br />
Hornby residents have victory<br />
but at what cost? Kyle Park<br />
is an old landfill or rubbish<br />
dump that is contaminated<br />
with toxic materials and gas –<br />
methane is produced as rubbish<br />
decomposes. A conservative<br />
estimate of how much it will<br />
cost to make the land safe to<br />
If you have an opinion<br />
on an issue raised in<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong>, email<br />
georgia.oconnor@<br />
starmedia.kiwi<br />
build on is $5 million to $10<br />
million if all goes well, as they<br />
cannot know the extent of the<br />
problem until they start. If they<br />
find the problem is worse than<br />
expected, it could cause more<br />
delays and eat up a lot more of<br />
the budget just to get the land fit<br />
to build on.<br />
Let’s say that it cost $10<br />
million to remediate the land,<br />
that leaves $27 million to build<br />
the actual facility. What are<br />
the residents willing to cut<br />
from the plan to meet the new<br />
budget?<br />
Are they willing to have<br />
their rates (Hornby residents)<br />
increased to fund the extra cost<br />
of making the land safe to build<br />
on?<br />
Do they expect road repairs<br />
and other facilities across<br />
Christchurch to be put on hold<br />
to pay for the extra cost?<br />
Are those that fought for<br />
Denton Park to remain the way<br />
it is (which also caused delays)<br />
and other Hornby residents,<br />
aware of all these extra costs to<br />
have the facility built on Kyle<br />
Park?<br />
I have no emotional<br />
connection to Denton Park<br />
so it is easy for me to say that<br />
the mega-facility should be<br />
built there, where there is no<br />
contamination and is next door<br />
to Kyle Park.<br />
The rugby fields could<br />
easily be transferred to Kyle<br />
Park.<br />
I want Hornby to have this<br />
facility but I don’t want my<br />
rates to increase to pay for this<br />
decision.<br />
Making yesterday's<br />
best performance into today’s<br />
new baseline is how legends<br />
roll. Never settle. Never stop.<br />
No one in New Zealand is<br />
selling more houses than us!<br />

the Lincoln University graduate<br />
said.<br />
“I was so humbled that the<br />
team at Goom seemed to be<br />
as excited about my individual<br />
award as they were the numerous<br />
awards they received on the<br />
night.”<br />
Mr Trower will now progresses<br />
to the young horticulturist of the<br />
year awards, in which finalists<br />
across six industries battle it out<br />

horticulture and maintenance.<br />
Said Goom Landscapes<br />
director Tim Goom: “We take<br />
enormous pride as a team in<br />
completing every project to<br />
the highest standard, so to gain<br />
national recognition, not to<br />
mention armloads of awards, is<br />
deeply gratifying.”<br />
The company entered four<br />
projects in both the design<br />
and construction categories. It<br />
received four gold medals for<br />
construction and three gold and<br />
a silver medal for design.<br />

Little honoured for dedication to rowing<br />
SPORT<br />
BURNSIDE HIGH School<br />
rowing coach Jim Little’s<br />
six-decade involvement with<br />
rowing has been rewarded<br />
with life membership of the<br />
Canterbury Rowing Association.<br />
The 75-year-old is passionate<br />
about sculling and is currently<br />
coaching Burnside under-17<br />
single-sculler Theo Giannakogiorgos<br />
to the Maadi Cup where<br />
he finished fourth earlier this<br />
year.<br />
Little commenced rowing in<br />
the 1950s with Shirley Boys’<br />
High School as a 16-year-old.<br />
He has been a member of the<br />
Union Rowing Club ever since<br />
where he is a life member and<br />
club patron.<br />
He has trained as a member<br />
of the 1964 NZ Tokyo Olympic<br />
crew.<br />
Unfortunately, he was one of<br />
two reserves on race day with the<br />
eight finishing in 11th.<br />
He competed for Canterbury<br />
in the inter-provincial eights.<br />
He had been rowing double<br />
and singles and was third in<br />
the premier (then senior class)<br />
singles at the 1963 national<br />
championships.<br />
Little rowed in a coxless pair<br />
for three years with Ron Satherley<br />
and after several attempts in<br />
both the coxless pair and later<br />
a coxed pair, the combination<br />
finished second each time in the<br />
premier event to Wybo Veldman<br />
and the late Warren Cole.<br />
In his last season, marred by<br />
an appendix operation, he and<br />
Tim Armstrong finished third<br />
in the premier double sculls with<br />
no real training behind them.<br />
After a 10-year break Little<br />
turned to coaching focusing and<br />
developing a youth eight within<br />
the URC Club.<br />
He took another brief break<br />
after this stint then returned<br />
in <strong>October</strong> 1985 looking after<br />
Shirley Boys’ High rowing and<br />
again with URC.<br />
Little was involved with several<br />
age-group New Zealand crews.<br />
He has given generously of his<br />

member and URC<br />
patron Jim Little. <br />
time over the years to holding<br />
sculling schools for all Canterbury<br />
Rowing Association club<br />
members.<br />
He has coached at Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School in recent<br />
years, this being acknowledged<br />
at the school’s recent prize-giving<br />
for the Maadi Cup victories<br />
with Little having developed<br />
many of the crew in their formative<br />
rowing years.<br />
Little has coached URC athletes<br />
to NZ representative level<br />
and has been heavily involved in<br />
the coaching of a large masters<br />
contingent affiliated to URC.<br />
Little was part of the inaugural<br />
safety team at Lake Ruataniwha<br />
for many years while his wife,<br />
Merryl was a permanent fixture<br />
in the coxswains weigh-in shed.<br />

Basketball New Zealand Nationals<br />
Palmerston North <strong>October</strong> 2<strong>01</strong>9<br />
Hornby High School is proud to be sending<br />
two Hornby High School basketball<br />
teams (both boys and girls) to represent<br />
our community, families and school at<br />
the Basketball New Zealand National<br />
Championships held in Palmerston North.<br />
The national tournament will provide an<br />
opportunity for these players to develop<br />
their own play and compete at the highest<br />
available for their age group. This will allow<br />
them to develop their basketball skills and<br />
learn how to adapt to the variety of playing<br />
styles that they will experience from different<br />
teams throughout New Zealand.<br />
This is the first time Hornby High School<br />
basketball teams have qualified for a national<br />

tournament. Both teams qualified at the<br />
South Island Secondary Premierships held<br />
in Greymouth, the Hornby High School Boys’<br />
team finishing 4th place, and the Hornby High<br />
School girls’ team finishing in 5th place. This<br />
is the next step in a basketball programme<br />
which started 11 years ago and has grown to<br />
include both boys and girls teams in each age<br />
group.<br />
Both teams are very fortunate to be in the<br />
capable hands of experienced coaches,<br />
the Boys’ Team with James Harris, and the<br />
Girls Team with Sam Hawkins. Both bring<br />
a wealth of knowledge to their teams and<br />
are able to encourage players and set high<br />
expectations that encourage them to play at<br />

their best. Both coaches are supported by<br />
assistant coaches. The boys team assistant<br />
coach is Vinnie Wallace, a Hornby 24-7 youth<br />
worker with Hope Youth, a great role model<br />
and mentor in the school. He is involved in<br />
multiple sports at Hornby High School and<br />
has taken up the assistant coach role for the<br />
Boys basketball team. Annabelle Simpson<br />
works with the Girls team, with whom she<br />
helps deliver a strong balance within the team<br />
helping build team work and confidence.<br />
The team managers are Emma Geldard<br />
(Boys’ Manager) and Sarah Handley (Girls’<br />
manager). They help ensure the wellbeing<br />
of the players while they are away, assisting<br />
them to manage any niggles and injuries.<br />

Mark Peters Standing for Council and Community Board - Hornby Ward<br />
Paid Advertising Feature<br />
Hi, I’m Mark Peters, and I am standing for<br />
Council and Community Board for the Hornby<br />
Ward.<br />
Hornby needs a clear strong voice to<br />
represent our community well at Council to<br />
ensure our communities are heard and that we<br />
get what we need.<br />
I’m proud to live in Hornby with my family.<br />
I’m a Land Surveyor by trade and want to use<br />
my skills to give back to the Community that<br />
offers my family so much.<br />
When Denton Park needed saving a couple<br />
of years ago, I stepped up and pulled together<br />
the Hornby sports clubs and a determined<br />
group of locals, successfully forcing the<br />
Council to move on, saving Denton Park.<br />
After the Denton Park campaign, we decided<br />
not to waste the unity that came from that<br />
campaign and formed the Greater Hornby<br />
Residents Association that superbly represents<br />
Hornby issues to Council.<br />
When the Community Board shocked us<br />
with a vote not to proceed with the new Kyle<br />
Park facility, I pulled together the petition to<br />
take on the Hikoi to Council, winning their<br />
support to proceed and work with us to find<br />
extra funding.<br />
I will represent Hornby clearly and strongly<br />
on Council continuing to listen to you and<br />
ensuring you are heard. We must ensure rates<br />
are affordable, that our spending priorities<br />
are right and that we focus on the basics first<br />
before the nice to haves.<br />
Our Council has no place for Party Politics.<br />
I’m a true independent, Vote Mark Peters for<br />
Council & Community Board.<br />

Megan Hands Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna<br />
As an environmental consultant I have<br />
an intimate understanding of the progress<br />
made and the work to be done to improve our<br />
water quality in Canterbury. As a new mum,<br />
I want our region to be the best place for<br />
young families like my own to live, work and<br />
explore. I have a Bachelor of Environmental<br />
Management and Planning, and qualifications<br />
in Nutrient Management and Agricultural<br />
Greenhouse Gas Emissions. I currently Cochair<br />
the Selwyn Te Waihora Zone Committee<br />
and am a member of the Institute of Directors.<br />
Environment Canterbury needs collaborative<br />
decision makers who use evidence, science<br />
and responsible spending to sustain our<br />
region’s economic growth and protect our<br />
environment. I fundamentally believe that<br />
economic growth and environmental protection<br />
can and must go together and that we should<br />
all be able to enjoy our great outdoors. With<br />
me as your Councillor you have a commitment<br />
to;<br />
1. Ensuring a healthy environment, safe<br />
drinking water and clean air while supporting<br />
our regional economy.<br />
2. Ensuring Biodiversity is protected,<br />
maintained and enhanced.<br />
3. Affordable and accessible public<br />
transport that aids the goal of a Carbon Zero<br />
Christchurch. I am open minded about who is<br />
best placed to manage this.<br />
4. Ensuring your ratepayer money is<br />
invested prudently.<br />
I am a genuinely independent candidate<br />
meaning you will get a Councillor committed<br />
to what is best for our grassroots Canterbury<br />
community and environment with a focus on<br />
ECan’s core business. I need your vote and<br />
would be honoured to be your ECan councillor<br />
for Christchurch West.<br />

Anne Galloway Standing for Councillor - Halswell Ward<br />
Kia ora koutou,<br />
Engagement. Empowerment. Equity.<br />
Three words that describe what I have achieved<br />
as the Ward Councillor representing Halswell.<br />
Over the last almost three years I have...<br />
• Fought for Halswell to have the facilities,<br />
amenity and levels of service reflective of the<br />
rates revenue generated from this Ward and<br />
equitable access to these.<br />
• Engaged regularly with key Halswell residents<br />
in order to stay informed about current local<br />
issues.<br />
• Addressed concerns raised by residents and<br />
facilitated action in response to these<br />
• Established a Student Council - primary aged<br />
children from local schools are learning about<br />
democratic processes and how to engage with<br />
them successfully . With the support of CCC<br />
Staff they have achieved positive outcomes for<br />
their community (The Student Council has won<br />
a national award for the Community Board).I<br />
have prioritised building strong, collaborative,<br />
respectful relationships with Council colleagues<br />
and CCC Staff. Valuing the work that fellow<br />
Councillors and Staff do and appreciating the<br />
results they achieve despite the challenges<br />
they face has ensured action and results for the<br />
people of Halswell.<br />
If I have the privilege to represent you for the<br />
next three years I will continue to...<br />
• Remove chlorine from our drinking water<br />
• Improve and protect our waterways and<br />
biodiversity<br />
• Strengthen civics education and encourage<br />
active citizenship<br />
• Advocate speed limits in suburban streets<br />
especially around schools<br />
• Provide resource for minor safety initiatives(eg<br />
pedestrian islands) identified by the community<br />
• Strengthen the Neighbourhood Support<br />
network to enhance community sense of safety<br />
• Address traffic congestion advocating for free<br />
buses for those under 18yrs<br />
• Continue to battle for the lowest possible rates<br />

Sam MacDonald Standing for Councillor - Waimairi Ward<br />
Does our community get value for money<br />
from the $27 million in rates we pay each<br />
year? Our roads, parks and water supply need<br />
improving, and we cannot afford more rate<br />
rises.<br />
As the Chairman of our local Community<br />
Board, I enjoy working on everyday issues and<br />
local projects. But the big problems we face<br />
– continuous rate rises, ballooning debt and<br />
deferred maintenance – are what I hear most<br />
about, and those problems can only be solved<br />
from the Council table.<br />
I am the only Council candidate running in the<br />
Waimairi Ward who lives and pays rates in our<br />
Ward, I understand our local issues.<br />
My Community Board experience here in<br />
the Waimairi Ward and work as a Chartered<br />
Accountant has given me both the local<br />
knowledge and professional skills to get better<br />
value for your ratepayer funds. I am asking for<br />
your vote to be your Councillor. As always, feel<br />
free to contact me at any time –<br />
sam@sammacdonald.co.nz or 027 333 9215.<br />
It’s time to put an Accountant at the Council<br />
table, vote Sam MacDonald.<br />

Shirish Paranjape Standing for Community Board - Waimairi Ward<br />
Dear Waimairi resident,<br />
Would you vote for someone residing in<br />
Auckland to be the Mayor of Christchurch? Of<br />
course not! The same applies for electing your<br />
Waimairi Community Board member.<br />
I am a LOCAL - I live and pay rates in<br />
Waimairi ward, and have done for over 17<br />
years. I am seeking re-election as your<br />
Community Board member for Waimairi Ward.<br />
Having completed my first term, I can say I<br />
have certainly enjoyed the role and was able<br />
to make a positive contribution. In particular,<br />
I immensely cherish the people-interaction<br />
aspect which this role entails, as well as being<br />
able to put rate-payers’ money to good use –<br />
for community groups as well as individuals;<br />
and for small and big projects which make<br />
our neighbourhood a better place to live for<br />
everyone.<br />
Over the past weeks, I have walked the<br />
streets of Waimairi ward and met many of you.<br />
If I could not meet you, you would have found<br />
my election flyer near your front door or in your<br />
letter-box.<br />
My sincere promise is that I will be your voice,<br />
your eyes and ears; for any and every matter,<br />
whether Council-related or other. I will work with<br />
the same passion, integrity, transparency and<br />
enthusiasm that I have demonstrated in the<br />
past years, and to continue to make a positive<br />
difference in the lives of people around me.<br />
PLEASE VOTE FOR ME as your Waimairi<br />
Community Board member.<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

Paid Advertising Feature<br />
Our COmmunity - my PriOrity<br />
As a member of the Halswell Residents<br />
Association for 18years and the Halswell<br />
River Rating District Liaison Committee I<br />
again seek your support and vote to continue<br />
as your Halswell ward Community Board<br />
Representative.<br />
Growth is our major issue and if<br />
uncoordinated will diminish the level of<br />
amenity our ward enjoys and it is this amenity<br />
that makes it the attractive and accessible<br />
environment we proudly call home. With the<br />
population now approaching 28500 and a<br />
diverse mix of culture now calling Halswell<br />
home, protection of this is a focus area for me.<br />
Aidanfield, Awatea, Halswell, Hoon Hay,<br />
Kennedy’s Bush, Knights Stream, Longhurst,<br />
Oaklands, Westlake, Westmorland, Wigram<br />
and rural sectors along with another 10+ new<br />
subdivisions being developed will increase our<br />
population beyond the 32000 estimated for<br />
2023. We are the largest Ward & Community<br />
Board in New Zealand.<br />
My strengths are knowledge of this growth,<br />
planning, transport and rating policies for<br />
urban and rural areas. Having made many<br />
past submissions to ECAN & Council I intend<br />
to ensure the community is informed and<br />
involved in processes affecting our immediate<br />
environment, and advocate for the best<br />
outcomes for residents of the Halswell Ward.<br />
Sporting facilities, recreational fields,<br />
parks, natural springs, rivers, the port hills,<br />
quarry, bike trails, summit road and the new<br />
stormwater wetlands are precious to us all and<br />
allow us to recreate in these areas be it active<br />
or passive.<br />
Please contact me anytime about anything<br />
027 942 0027 or 322 52<strong>01</strong>. Thank you.<br />
Our community is my priority.<br />

Aaron Campbell Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch West Ōpuna<br />
As an independent candidate for ECan in<br />
Christchurch West- Ōpuna, I’m standing up<br />
for the future of water and our quality of life in<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Cantabrians have been clear – we don’t want<br />
our precious, pure water given away or polluted<br />
with nitrates.<br />
As an independent, I’ve been clear from the<br />
start about what motivates me and what my<br />
goals are:<br />
· I’m a co-founding member of Aotearoa<br />
Water Action, formed to challenge ECan<br />
granting consents in Belfast for water bottling.<br />
· Nitrates in groundwater are a looming<br />
disaster for Christchurch and toxic levels are<br />
being recorded in rural Canterbury. ECan<br />
has enabled irrigation, dairy intensification on<br />
unsuitable soils.<br />
· Last year, I spoke out against the lobbying<br />
of government by Water NZ seeking mandatory/<br />
permanent chlorination and a new water<br />
regulator. The CCC quit Water NZ three weeks<br />
later.<br />
· ECan has overseen falling bus patronage<br />
and funding cuts, despite population growth. We<br />
need an accessible, affordable, zero-emission<br />
network. Everyone benefits when more people<br />
use public transport.<br />
I grew up on a sheep farm so I’m far from<br />
anti-farming. It is the responsibility of ECan to<br />
push for substantive change to the RMA, to<br />
protect our water and soils, the rural economy<br />
and restore biodiversity.<br />
As a company director, community board<br />
member and business mentor I have a solid<br />
background in governance and financial<br />
management.<br />
I’ve spoken out against water bottling,<br />
chlorination, nuisance quarry dust and I have<br />
supported measures reducing congestion,<br />
improving accessibility (disability) and promoting<br />
public transport.<br />

Lianne Dalziel Christchurch Mayor - Standing for re-election<br />
Re-elect Lianne Dalziel Mayor<br />
“I love Christchurch and am confident about our<br />
future. With my experience and inclusive style<br />
of leadership, we can tackle any challenges that<br />
lie ahead, while seizing every opportunity that<br />
comes our way.”<br />
It is vital we keep the momentum going.<br />
My immediate priorities are:<br />
Water: Investment in our infrastructure will<br />
deliver pure water safely to your home. I<br />
will fight Government-imposed mandatory<br />
chlorination.<br />
Rates: I will bring rates rises down while<br />
ensuring continued infrastructure investment,<br />
and balancing council debt and inflation.<br />
Central City: A vibrant city centre is essential.<br />
Having secured $300m for Christchurch, the<br />
stadium will be a multi-use facility. I will continue<br />
to back the developers leading the way.<br />
Sustainability: I am committed to reducing our<br />
city’s carbon footprint, and helping communities<br />
prepare for the impacts of climate change.<br />
Eastern Alliance: An alliance of contractors will<br />
deliver a fully integrated programme of works<br />
across the east, fixing the roads, footpaths and<br />
pipes and building stopbanks.<br />
Do it once, do it right.<br />

Peter Ballantyne Standing for Canterbury District Health Board<br />
Peter has considerable experience in the<br />
health sector having served as Deputy Chair of<br />
the Canterbury District Health Board and Chair<br />
of the West Coast District Health Board.<br />
Peter believes the health board has worked<br />
tirelessly to meet the needs of Cantabrians,<br />
but has been constrained by lack of funding<br />
.Peter considers that he is well placed to<br />
advocate strongly for equitable funding for our<br />
health needs in Canterbury. This, combined<br />
with efficiencies in service, will enable more<br />
funds to be available to meet the increased<br />
demands of health issues such as mental<br />
health, cancer and elective surgery in order to<br />
ensure that our communities get well, stay well<br />
and live well closer to home. Addressing the<br />
increasing needs of our ageing population is<br />
a continuing demand on our health services.<br />
There is also need to remove the capital<br />
charge, and progress the rate of our facility<br />
rebuilds to ensure our people receive timely<br />
and appropriate treatment in modern hospital<br />
facilities. He is very conscious of the safety and<br />
wellbeing of our health workforce which has<br />
been operating under tremendous pressure<br />
since the earthquakes while continuing to<br />
maintain high standards of service.<br />
Peter was previously a partner in the<br />
international consulting firm Deloitte. He<br />
currently serves on the CDHB Quality, Finance,<br />
Audit, and Risk Committee and on the<br />
University of Canterbury Council.<br />
A life long Cantabrian, Peter is a greatgrandson<br />
of John Ballantyne, founder of<br />
Ballantynes Department Store. Peter’s wife<br />
Claire worked as a registered nurse with<br />
the CDHB and his daughter is a Consultant<br />
Geriatrician. With two sons, an engineer and a<br />
film director, Peter’s leisure time is spent with<br />
family, grandchildren and sailing.<br />

John Minto Standing for Christchurch Mayor<br />
I am standing as a KOA (Keep our Assets<br />
Canterbury) candidate for mayor because we<br />
want a future for Christchurch which makes<br />
sense.<br />
The city faces three big challenges: a<br />
climate emergency, a water supply threatened<br />
by contaminants and many people struggling<br />
on poverty incomes without dignity or selfrespect.<br />
Our policies are to reduce greenhouse<br />
gas emissions with free and frequent public<br />
transport; provide a local zone for Canterbury<br />
businesses and co-operatives in the city<br />
centre; rebuild the 400 council rental homes<br />
destroyed in the earthquakes; future-proof<br />
our water supply and develop a plan for<br />
swimmable rivers; rate increases kept to the<br />
rate of inflation and a minimum of the living<br />
wage for all council work.<br />
As well as significantly reducing our<br />
greenhouse gas emissions, fare-free public<br />
transport will create a more cohesive, less<br />
divided city as people mix and mingle on<br />
modern, low-emission buses with free wifi.<br />
It will also save families approximately four<br />
weeks pay per year in transport costs which<br />
will be spent in the local economy giving a<br />
boost to local businesses and co-operatives.<br />
This policy will not increase rates because<br />
it will be paid for from existing government<br />
budgets by rebalancing transport funding away<br />
from new roads in favour of public transport.<br />
These policies will improve our lives while<br />
saving the council money. More details are at<br />

We must protect and regenerate our precious<br />
water resources and our natural heritage, and<br />
find ways to lessen climate change and deal<br />
with climate disruption.<br />
We must improve public transport and<br />
increase its use around the city.<br />
We need the CCC and ECan to work together<br />
much more constructively than has recently<br />
been the case.<br />
I’m a team player who has worked for many<br />
years on environmental issues with a wide<br />
range of communities. We’ve solved problems<br />
and reached common goals by working together<br />
to make things happen. I’d like to see ECan<br />
working well with communities and with other<br />
councils to progress action on the issues above.<br />
I have a BSc in Botany, A masters in Parks<br />
and Recreation Management and a PhD in<br />
social science. For seven years I worked at<br />
Manaaki Whenua/ Landcare Research as a<br />
social researcher where I worked with science<br />
teams looking at a range of environmental<br />
issues. My work focused on helping<br />
communities to work together to understand<br />
the science, understand their problems and to<br />
develop solutions that were good for them and<br />
good for the local environment. I wanted to work<br />
more directly on these issues that I kept seeing,<br />
so I left, set up my own business and began<br />
working in my own community.<br />
Since the earthquakes, I been working in<br />

Tēnā koutou,<br />
I want to be part of a new Environment<br />
Canterbury that secures better outcomes for<br />
our land and water, and all that call our region<br />
home.<br />
It is achievable if those at the council table<br />
work together, from both rural and urban<br />
communities, to face the challenges we have<br />
and explore land use opportunities that can<br />
regenerate our soil, enhance our water quality,<br />
and help restore our native birds, plants and<br />
fish.<br />
Born and raised in here in Ōtautahi, I care<br />
deeply about our whenua and as a father<br />
I am driven to protect and enhance our<br />
unique natural and cultural heritage for future<br />
generations to enjoy. Having Ngāi Tahu,<br />
Ngāti Mutunga, English, Scottish and Welsh<br />
heritage, I understand the importance of<br />
balancing perspectives.<br />
For the past 20 years, I have been working<br />
in the environmental space with iwi, central<br />
and local government, as well as private<br />
companies to make sure we are making<br />
the best decisions for our people, land and<br />
waterways.<br />
I have a degree in Environmental<br />

have to fix our roads and get them back to pre<br />
quake quality within the next three years, not<br />
the planned 30 years. Finally we have to make<br />
sure the Christchurch economy is in a strong<br />
position to deliver a lifestyle we can aspire to for<br />
all residents.<br />
I have always tried to be available to the<br />
residents of Harewood so if you ever have<br />

Aaron Keown Councillor for Harewood.<br />
Authorised by P. Gatonyi, 228 Milton Street, Christchurch.<br />
Darryll Park Standing for Christchurch Mayor<br />
Hello there, I am Darryll Park, a proud<br />
Cantabrian, and extremely passionate about this,<br />
our city of Christchurch.<br />
I have lived and worked in and around<br />
Christchurch all of my life.<br />
In the past I was the CEO of Christchurch<br />
& Canterbury Marketing Ltd, and I helped<br />
to reposition Tourism under the government<br />
Tourism 2<strong>01</strong>0 Strategy, as well as past board<br />
member of Civil Aviation Authority & Aviation<br />
Security Services, two government agencies and<br />
was employed as Air NZ South Island Manager<br />
until 1998.<br />
Nowadays I am the co-owner of Oxford<br />
Management Services, a property development<br />
and management company supporting<br />
hospitality, Chair of Mondo Travel Group, and a<br />
Director of the Canterbury Rugby Union and the<br />
Crusaders.<br />
What I’m standing for<br />
I am standing as a Mayoralty candidate for<br />
Christchurch in the upcoming elections. I am<br />
campaigning to ‘Move Christchurch Forward’,<br />
with a focus on common sense, a back to basics<br />
approach and better ways to move us forward.<br />
Why am I doing this?<br />
Quite simply, I want to restore public trust in<br />
Christchurch’s local leadership and with your<br />
help, do what’s needed to be done to make<br />
Christchurch, New Zealand’s most liveable city.<br />
This will mean being accountable and<br />
transparent to you, the voter, ratepayer, resident<br />
and business community. Our key areas of<br />
focus are rates, water, infrastructure, tourism,<br />
sustainability, institutions and events, crime and<br />
communities. I will be revealing our policies over<br />
the coming weeks.<br />
There is much to be done, and if elected, I will<br />
stand aside from my current business interests<br />
and governance roles to ensure my focus on this<br />
city is absolute.<br />
Thank you for your interest, and if you want to<br />
help move Christchurch forward, I look forward<br />
to your vote.<br />
Authorised by Darryll Park, Christchurch Mayoral candidate, 400 Pound Road, Yaldhurst, Christchurch 7676.

some Asian classics<br />
Indonesian crumpets<br />
Makes 20<br />
Ingredients<br />
250ml (1 cup) soy or coconut<br />
milk<br />
7g sachet dried active yeast<br />
1 tsp coconut sugar<br />
300g (2 cups) plain flour<br />
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda<br />
1 tsp sea salt<br />
1 tsp vanilla powder<br />
Olive oil or vegan butter, for<br />
greasing<br />
Suggested toppings:<br />
Coconut yoghurt, vegan butter,<br />
pure maple syrup, fresh berries,<br />
shredded basil leaves, dried<br />
edible flowers, hemp seeds, icing<br />
sugar.<br />
Directions<br />
Gently warm the soy or<br />
coconut milk and 250ml (one<br />
cup) of water in a saucepan<br />
over low heat until just warmed<br />
through (don’t warm the liquid<br />
too much or you will kill your<br />
yeast). Pour the liquid into a<br />
bowl and add the dried yeast<br />
and sugar. Set aside in a warm<br />
place for 15min or until the<br />
surface starts to foam. Sift the<br />
flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt<br />
and vanilla into a large bowl.<br />
Add the yeast mixture and stir to<br />
combine. Place a clean damp tea<br />
towel over the mixing bowl and<br />
set aside for 35-40min or until<br />
the mixture is risen and bubbly.<br />
Heat the oven to 100 deg C<br />
fan-forced. Lightly grease a large<br />
frying pan and set over mediumhigh<br />
heat, then lightly grease a<br />
few egg rings and place them in<br />
the pan.<br />
Stir the mixture again – it<br />
should look like thick, bubbly<br />
pancake batter. Add 60-125ml<br />
(¼ cup-½ cup) more water to<br />
reach the desired consistency if<br />
necessary.<br />
Spoon two to three<br />
tablespoons of the mixture into<br />
each egg ring. Cook for 2min<br />
or until the tops are completely<br />
covered in bubbles and the<br />
batter is dry. Remove the egg<br />
rings, transfer the crumpets<br />
to a heatproof plate and keep<br />
warm in the oven. Repeat with<br />
the remaining mixture to make<br />
about 20 crumpets.<br />
Serve the warm crumpets with<br />
your favourite toppings.<br />
Any leftover crumpets will<br />
keep in an airtight container in<br />
the fridge for two to three days<br />
or in the freezer for up to two<br />
weeks.<br />
Chana masala<br />
Serves 2<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 Tbsp avocado oil<br />
1 onion, diced<br />
400g can whole tomatoes<br />
400g can chickpeas, drained and<br />
rinsed (see tip)<br />
2 tsp coconut sugar<br />
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon<br />
juice, plus lemon wedges to serve<br />
Sea salt<br />
Chopped coriander leaves, to<br />
serve<br />
Steamed basmati rice or garlic<br />
Naan to serve<br />
Masala curry paste<br />
2-3 long red chillies, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped<br />
2 tsp ground cumin<br />
2-3cm piece of ginger, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
1 tsp ground turmeric<br />
1/2 tsp sea salt<br />
1 tsp black peppercorns<br />
1 tsp garam masala<br />
1 tsp ground coriander<br />
1 tsp brown mustard seeds<br />
Directions<br />
Using a large mortar and<br />
pestle, pound the masala curry<br />
paste ingredients for about<br />
10min or until you have a<br />
smooth paste (alternatively,<br />
you can use a small food<br />
processor.)<br />
Heat a saucepan over medium<br />
heat, add the oil and curry paste<br />
and saute for 30sec.<br />
Add the onion and saute for<br />
2min, then stir through the<br />
tomatoes and chickpeas.<br />
Reduce the heat to low and<br />
simmer for 30min or until<br />
reduced to a thick curry.<br />
Remove the pan from the heat,<br />
stir through the sugar and lemon<br />
juice, then taste and add a little<br />
salt, if necessary.<br />
Sprinkle the chana masala<br />
with coriander and serve with<br />
steamed basmati rice or garlic<br />
naan on the side and lemon<br />
wedges for squeezing over.<br />
Tip: Keep your chickpea liquid<br />
(aquafaba) to make sriracha<br />
mayo or caesar dressing.<br />

Hydrate to elevate<br />
We all know drinking water is important, but the<br />
majority of us simply don’t drink enough even though<br />
we know it makes us feel great when we do. We look<br />
at the benefits and motivate you to drink more with a<br />
few tips on how to make it just a little more palatable.<br />
With over a quarter of Kiwis<br />
consuming less than two glasses of<br />
water a day and only 5% drinking<br />
more than the recommended eight, the<br />
message obviously hasn’t hit home on<br />
the importance of hydrating our body.<br />
A recent survey conducted by<br />
SodaStream found that Cantabrians<br />
are particularly guilty when it comes to<br />
their water intake.<br />
With 82% drinking less than six<br />
glasses of water a day, but with over 85%<br />
admitting they feel healthier when they<br />
drink more water, something needs to<br />
be done to bridge the gap in terms of<br />
what we know to be true and what we’re<br />
actually doing about it.<br />
This same survey revealed that<br />
although 41% of us limit how many soft<br />
drinks we consume due to our concerns<br />
over sugar content, the same number<br />
of people said tea or coffee is this their<br />
number one drink of choice.<br />
Some people even believe that the<br />
water consumed in their cup of Joe<br />
constitutes part of their water intake.<br />
This is a fallacy.<br />
As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as<br />
does alcohol too, it means we need to<br />
drink even more water to compensate.<br />
Not so surprisingly the reason we<br />
don’t drink nearly enough water is that<br />
we simply forget. Now with apps you<br />
can download direct to your smart<br />
phone, there are no more excuses.<br />
Further studies proved that people<br />
who had a SodaStream machine in their<br />
homes were more likely to drink more<br />
water.<br />
In fact, the study showed that people<br />
drank 30% more water.<br />
For those of us who aren’t used to<br />
drinking water like it’s going<br />
out of fashion, there are plenty of ways<br />
to increase the fun factor while still<br />
being healthy.<br />
After<br />
Before<br />
By simply turning tap water into sparkling water with a<br />
SodaStream machine and adding a splash of fresh lemon juice<br />
or naturally squeezed fruit juice, is bound to have a positive<br />
impact on our health and wellbeing.<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />
Cleansed and cured?<br />
Many common health problems can<br />
all be easily solved with one simple<br />
approach according to a leading New<br />
Zealand Medical Herbalist Brett Elliott.<br />
He found in his clinical practice that<br />
most of his clients have similar common<br />
health complaints and that it all could be<br />
traced back to digestive disorders. Did<br />
you know up to 50% of the population<br />
suffer from common health conditions<br />
like; chronic constipation, acid reflux,<br />
bloating, gas, ulcers, irritable bowel<br />
syndrome, crohn’s disease, coeliac<br />
disease, haemorrhoids, gallstones,<br />
cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure,<br />
abdominal weight gain, skin complaints<br />
and many more and can all come back to<br />
a poor digestive system.<br />
He wanted to find a simple solution<br />
everyone could use to support their<br />
bodies natural healing without the side<br />
effects of pharmaceutical medications<br />
that often only ease or cover the<br />
symptoms without healing as well as<br />
often having many side effects. Brett<br />
knew everything in the body depends on<br />
the digestive system working properly<br />
and so went about developing “The<br />
Ultimate Herbal Detox Body Cleanse<br />
Program” a simple to use two week<br />
program. It not only supports the whole<br />
digestive system but also helps cleanse<br />
the entire body of toxins and parasites.<br />
The program contains four different<br />
all herb formulas all in capsule form<br />
that need to be taken twice daily. These<br />
capsules can be blended into a smoothie<br />
if you prefer. Colon-aid is designed to<br />
support a healthy bowel movement,<br />
increases the secretion of gastric<br />
juices and bile and promote appetite<br />
and digestion. Digez-aid soothes and<br />
stimulates healthy<br />
digestion and<br />
absorption of<br />
vital nutrients.<br />
Sym-lax is a<br />
bulking fibre to<br />
cleanse and heal<br />
the intestines<br />
and bowels. It<br />
also makes you<br />
feel less hungry.<br />
Liva-food is the<br />
final nutrient<br />
rich formula to<br />
support a healthy<br />
liver function.<br />
It supports<br />
detoxing the<br />
body of toxins<br />
and heavy<br />
metals.<br />
The program supports the bodies’<br />
organs to do their job. The formulas are<br />
New Zealand made and contain a total<br />
of 24 high potency herbs making it quite<br />
possibly the most comprehensive “do<br />
it yourself ” herbal detox body cleanse<br />
program in the world. Brett has refined<br />
the formula over 20 years and has now<br />
sold over 100, 000 kits world-wide. He<br />
regularly receives incredible feedback<br />
from users with many re-doing the<br />
program once or twice yearly.<br />
With toxic overload and many<br />
diseases sky-rockerting now is the<br />
time to make a positive change by<br />
cleansing, nourishing and helping build<br />
your body to a better health.<br />
