Residents oppose quarry development BY GRACE CABELL Angry residents are taking a stand against a quarry development in Islington. A consent application has been lodged for a 19.5ha quarry on 50 Roberts Rd, Islington, directly beside a number of residential dwellings. The development had been rec-
ommended by the city council to be publicly notified. This has not happened. Last Monday night more than 40 residents gathered for a meeting on the site to discuss ways to put a stop to the proposal. Residents were concerned the development could result in major environmental and health issues, such as dust particles being carried
from the quarry into the residential area. Yaldhurst Rural Residents Association chairman Bob Cross said residents were prepared to block the site if quarrying was to begin. “They’re very annoyed the whole city has left them high and dry,” he said. Fulton Hogan has further proposed to extend the development
onto areas identified for future residential development through the Proposed Replacement District Plan. The eastern parts of the Fulton Hogan land, which sit predominantly outside of the area to be quarried, are marked as a Greenfield Priority Area Residential, under the Land Use Recovery Plan. • Turn to page 2

One of Merivale’s historical homes has won the best residential home award in the prestigious Merivale House Awards 2014. The winning home, named See the Moorings House had been Inside: owned by Harry and Ngaire McLernon for more than 25 years. The Rugby St home was also awarded the judges special award for the most outstanding home. Homeowner, Ngaire McLernon said receiving the award had been a great surprise. On Wednesday, a Japanese tour group will visit the McLernons to look at the gardens. It was the first time the couple have had tour groups visit since the earthquakes. The house was complete with a full orchard, including pears, apples, bluberries and cranberries, and a variety of stone fruits. The McLernons were awarded a painting of the house, which they have hung inside. The awards were established by the Merivale Precinct Society in 2000 but it was the first year the awards had run since 2010 after being put on hold by the earthquakes. Merivale Precinct Society chairman Chris Aynsley said they were back to stay. The judging panel consisted 384 0600

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN of society chairman Chris Aynsley, deputy chairwoman Denise Leighs, board member David Compton-Moen, Harcourts Holmwood Merivale sales consultant Cindy-Lee Sinclair, and director of Dalman Architecture Ltd, John McGrail. Last Monday, about 90 people turned up for the event at Merivale Mall. More than 25 residential and commercial premises were in the running. The three main categories in the awards were for the best residential home, best renovated home, and best commercial premises in the Merivale area.
Judging criteria included street appeal, functionality innovation, use of materials, environmental impact, integrity and budget balance outcome. “We chose it not so much because of the house but because it has the most magnificent gardens, and clearly the owners have dedicated much of their lives to something unequal in the neighbourhood,” Mr Aynsley said. “It’s not about the coolest or most expensive house, it’s about a home, and all that it means to people,” he said. The event was sponsored by Harcourt’s Homewood Merivale.

Residents against quarry developement • From page 1 If the proposal was to go ahead, future residential development would be held back. Fulton Hogan did not return calls to Western News. Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora said there was no way the quarry would not adversely affect residents. “That is an absolutely foolish ridiculous statement for anyone to make,” said Mr Mora. Wigram MP Megan Woods said she would be working closely with the community board to find out why consent was not notified. Mr Mora said it not only would it be a major issue for the nearby residents, but it would also affect the wider western area. “The riverbeds are building up with shingle and getting higher than the surrounding ground – the most sustainable thing to do is to take from the rivers and not from the land,” he said. He said taking from the wrong area could cause the Waimakariri to burst, flooding the west of Christchurch and create “massive issues”. Community board members have lodged multiple submissions to the city council’s PRDP in a bid to stop the proposal. More than 500 trucks would cross the Roberts Rd development area each day, with a consent duration of eight years.

Battle for youth facility intensifies BY GRACE CABELL
Standing tall
council’s DPR in an attempt to counteract the land zoning changes. The group had been searching for an unstructured area for youth to “hangout” in the area since 2007. At a Riccarton-Wigram Community Board meeting in October, Mr Hawke presented ideas for the facility to the community board. Board chairman Mike Mora said the site on Halswell Rd was one worth investigating. He said the board was working closely with the group to pin down a suitable location. Halswell Community Project member, Chrys Horn, said things were looking positive but knew they still had a long road ahead. “We asked the kids where they go if they want to meet each other and they said they go to Riccarton mall. It’s a bit distressing that kids have to leave the town to find somewhere to hang out.” “What does that say about our priorities?” she said. Non-government funding would be sought when a site was in place.
Residents pushing for a youth facility in Halswell want land zoning to remain the same. The Halswell Youth Network is hoping to win the battle for a piece of land on 345 Halswell Rd which may be rezoned under the city council’s Proposed District Plan Review. The current land owner, Graeme Nicholl of Going Properties Limited is seeking for the land to be moved from residential to commercial in order to extend business opportunities. As part of the previous District Plan Review, the properties to the rear of 341-345 Halswell Rd have been rezoned and developed for residential purposes based around Edward Stafford Ave and Steane Pl. Halswell Residents’ Association member David Hawke said the land which backs up against the new Halswell library would be an ideal site for a muchneeded youth facility. The Halswell Youth Network has placed a cross-submission to the city

Pupils at Cathedral Grammar School have devoured tubs of ice cream for fundraising. As part of the Ronald McDonald House South Island ‘Cream it for kids’ fundraiser, pupils helped to raise funds for the charity by purchasing a 100ml tub of Tip Top’s vanilla ice cream. The school’s board of senior students, which manages fundraising events, decided to take part in the event for the learning experience and as an opportunity to contribute to the community. Cathedral Grammar School head girl and BOSS committee member, Amber Spurway, said the fundraiser was a great way for the senior pupils to show leadership by taking charge of organising of the event. “We like to work closely with Ronald McDonald House South Island because our students understand what they do for families and we think it’s important to
support them,” said Amber. Head boy and fellow committee member, James Larkan, said “it’s about kids looking out for kids. We want other children to get the same opportunities we do, so we need to look after them when they need it most.” Merrin Primary School, Marshland School, Burnside High School and Hoon Hay School also participated in the fundraiser.

Rob, tell me a bit about yourself, did you grow up in Christchurch? I live in Hornby but I was born in Lower Hutt, I moved to Christchurch in 1994. Originally I was a horse trainer in Hutt Park Raceway. I moved down here to work with various trainers in the South Island and continued to train racehorses until 1999. Essentially I came down here because if you wanted to further your career in harness racing you had to come here. Why did you choose to race horses? I trained racehorses because of my stutter. I used to say it was okay around horses, because horses didn’t care about my stutter [Laughs]. After that I decided to get a real job. In 1996 I worked at Meadow Mushrooms. Then I went overseas, and when I came back I worked at Marley New Zealand Ltd – a plastics company in Hornby. Then I became self-employed as an antique dealer in 2003 and I’m still doing that. When did you first notice your stuttering? I didn’t announce words properly in pre-school but then after that I was fine. When I was about nine a speech therapist came around to the school and she told my grandparents, who raised me, I had a stutter. Once someone told me I was a stutterer I became a stutterer. I kind of knew there was something in my speech but essentially I

was the most extroverted person in the class back then. How did you feel hearing that you were a stutterer? It was probably the worst thing anyone had ever said to me. I honestly think if no one had said anything I would have been fine – but you don’t know. How much did it affect you growing up? I did speech therapy until 16 or 17 and got worse every year. It affected my life because you feel anything relating to a speaking situation you can’t do. I would never have ever gone to university because of my stutter. If you wanted to join athletics clubs and stuff like that you would have to tell them your name and your details. I always got someone to come along and speak for me – sometimes that is so embarrassing you just avoid doing it. What prompted you to change your stuttering?

don’t let fears stop you
I decided to do something about my stutter after something I saw on TV. In 2004 a Close Up show featured the McGuire Programme, which helps people overcome stuttering. But it took me about two years to decide whether to do it. So how did you get more involved in the McGuire Programme? I took my first course in 2008. It’s essentially a four-day course but you can go back and do as many refresher courses as you would like. It pushes you out of your comfort zone and challenges your speech. Last year I became regional director of the McGuire Programme for the whole of New Zealand. It was kind of weird actually, ever since I got involved in 2006 I saw myself as running it. Did the earthquakes affect your stuttering at all? It didn’t make my stutter worse – what happened though is in my job as an antique dealer I had an opportunity to do Earthquake Commission valuations for people. I found it quite interesting that people would ring me unsure and nervous about what to do and that was generally how I used to approach situations as a stutterer – so now I was a person who was trying to calm them down. That was quite an interesting turn around. So you’re involved in Toastmasters as well? Yes. Basically that for me was an opportunity to challenge my new speaking technique in front
of other people. Most do it to improve their public speaking skills, presentation skills and develop more self confidence. October 22 was actually International Stuttering Awareness Day, and just the weekend before that I was awarded the Toastmaster of the Year award. How has overcoming your stuttering changed your life? The thing with stuttering is that it’s like anything people fear. They may want to lose the fear and overcome that fear, but too many people are apprehensive about approaching the fear. In order to overcome a stutter you have to tell people that you stutter – place yourself in situations you might stutter. In a way it’s like putting your finger into a power socket and convincing yourself if you keep doing it long enough it won’t hurt. And that’s why if I avoid a speaking situation, which I used to do all the time, I was actually convincing myself I would fail, so I did. How has
the McGuire Programme helped you? If you follow the instructions, apply what is learnt, and challenge yourself to go back to those situations – that is the only way you can prove to yourself you can do it. It’s a bit like if you were scared of flying, we would have you flying a plane at the end of four days. The course itself is trying to work through that fear slowly, so at every stage people are now wanting to take that next step. Have you picked up any new hobbies since? Well essentially my hobbies now are speaking orientated. In a way the McGuire Programme is a hobby, and Toastmasters is a hobby. Do you have a family? Yes, I have a wife, Louise, who works in various preschools around Christ-

church, and a six-year-old daughter Bronté who goes to Sockburn School. What would you say to people who may have been in your position? In public speaking, as long as you make yourself a person who gets up there you will be fine. You can say whatever you want as long as you tell yourself you are in control. The one piece of advice apart from that you should try the programme, is that while you have a stutter, everybody else has their affliction as well. You are no better and no worse than anybody else and you shouldn’t let a stutter hold you back from anything you would like to do.

Support for volunteer group BY GRACE CABELL
A volunteer group catering to more than 1000 people each month is finally getting the support it needs. The Northgate Community Services Trust is a volunteer organisation which provides food, mental support and low-cost health care to the unemployed, the disabled, single parents and others who are unable to maintain a reasonable standard of living in the wider Papanui community. The group has been running since 2003 and community support has seen the group recently received four new stoves. Community development coordinator, Karen Watson, said a fully functioning kitchen was vital for the support group, which held cooking classes four days a week to provide basic cooking skills to those in need. She said the kitchen was used for a large variety of events. “We’ve had four rumpty old stoves which have all been handme-downs,” she said. At the Shirley-Papanui Community Board meeting on Wednesday, the community board funded the group with one of four stoves as part of the group’s Upgrade Stoves project. Board chairman Mike Davison said they were happy to fund such a good cause. Two of the other new stoves had been funded by Pub Charity, and one from the Northcity Church.

New collection creates elegance in natural fabrics
Renowned for its contemporary women’s fashion made from
all natural materials, JNBY New Zealand has introduced its most composed collection yet for Spring/Summer 2014-15.
J
NBY celebrates the elegance of women with its design-driven aesthetics and strong philosophy capturing the idea of beauty, comfort and style through the brand statement, “Just naturally be yourself ”. The new collection is in store now, and is showing minimalist, geometric lines, a myriad of textiles and a sportswear flair. A hint of romance comes via draped silk, and lightweight wool adds a modern elegance. Inspiration for design has come from vintage architecture, retro shapes, images and structures.
True
The sophistication of cool whites and creams are the key colour story for the season, highlighted with a jolt of cobalt blue. Hints of steel blue and washed rose beige add a different dimension, while bright yellow and orange notes accent the warm glow of summer.

A youngest ever national champion was crowned last week and it was only his first season in the sport. The National Offroad Racing Championship finals were held at West Melton over Labour Weekend with spills, thrills and a new champion found. Owen Chang, a 27-year-old mechanic who grew up in Aranui is now the youngest off-road racing national champion even though this was the first year he had ever raced. Chang said he was leading his class going into the weekend and was confident of winning that title but he never thought he would walk away as the national champion. “It was unreal and hard to believe really. There were so many fast, big cars and people that have been doing it for so long and I was only in my first season,” he said. Chang won three races in his car class as well as another podium. That third place finish came after he nearly rolled his GT Radial Ford Falcon at one point in a race. That put him at the back of that race after he was being pushed around by another car and hit a tyre. He said after that incident he “seen the red mist” and tried far

He said there were “a lot of accidents” and the organisers absolutely did the right thing by cutting the race early. Owen’s father Bryan Chang said he was one very proud dad and

▌FLAME ▌ FILES
Fireworks are beautiful as well as dangerous BY MARK THOMAS - FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER
This is being written the day after Guy Fawkes. Until this time there have been nine incidents in the city definitely attributed to misuse of fireworks. On the night itself there were also a couple of skips and a wheelie bin set on fire, quite possibly by idiots who wanted to keep on amusing themselves after the fireworks ran out. I know the vast majority of users were and are responsible in the way and place they set fireworks off. I know Guy Fawkes is an occasion that many of us would be unwilling to deny our kids the fun times we had. But this is really looking at the past with rosetinted spectacles, because November 5 invariably had reports of huge fire losses and eyes blinded. It’s inevitable that a full ban of private sales will happen in our lifetime. Most firefighters will rejoice.
Booster seat
Did you know the law says that you must use a car seat for your child?
W The spectacle can still be there. The city council apparently put on another fabulous display at New Brighton this year. The pier on November 5 will continue growing as an iconic Canterbury event, and that’s great! It’s been colder this week, but last Sunday there was a nor’wester. It was hot, dry and very windy, which is not
recommended weather for burn-offs. However, two were lit, separately on the peninsula that day. These resulted in multiple fire pumps and tankers required to control the rapidly spreading fires. The message is pretty obvious. Canterbury nor’westers and fire are not compatible. Not ever!
hen children travel in vehicles, car seats are the best way to protect them. Keeping your child in their car seat with its harness system as long as possible is best. Once they grow out of the car seat, they need to move to a booster seat. • Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. • Never use the booster seat with only a lap belt. • Place the booster seat in the back – it’s safer. • Avoid the front seat unless all other seating positions are being used. If you have to use the front seat, make sure it is as far back as possible. They must use a booster seat until they are around 148 centimetres tall. Ask for advice from Plunket Car Seat Service, 5 Twigger Street, Christchurch. Phone 379 9266, or email cantycarseats@plunket.org.nz.

By Jack May
he people who write advertising slogans are clever with words. They can make a simple frozen chicken hugely appealing. A clever wordsmith named Ed McCabe was paid a substantial fee to write these ten words, “It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken”. This slogan for Perdue Chickens helped sell 15 million frozen chickens through American supermarkets in one year. Yes, the chickens were top quality meat. But the Perdue export department got it wrong. They translated the slogan into Spanish as “It takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate”. Hispanic and Mexican cooks were not amused.
languages are valuable people in exporting, document translating and book publishing. “We show all our writing students how to get their articles, stories, poems or instruction books published,” says Brian Morris, principal at New Zealand Institute of Business Studies. “They also get thoroughly proofread before being released.” If interested in writing or proofreading work at home, phone 0800 801 994 and ask for the free report #805 “When You Have A Passion For Story Telling”. Whether your topic is food, electronics, cars, cooking, gardening, sport or business, there is satisfaction in getting your book written and published.

Get weaving with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa
T
e Wānanga o Aotearoa will be offering a range of weaving classes in 2015, an introductory 18week course, the Certificate in Māori Visual Arts and a 36-week Diploma in Māori Art - Toi Paematua. Emma Mclean is a current student of the Diploma. Two years ago Emma’s friend invited her to an exhibition run by Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Raranga (weaving) students. Emma loved what she saw so much she decided to ‘give it a go’. Emma said the most rewarding part of the course for her was stepping out of her ‘comfort zone’ and gaining ‘confidence’ presenting her work. “The tutors are awesome; they are always available to help, they give great feedback and bring so much knowledge and experience.”
Alan Spicer, another member of the Diploma class, says the course has been great for his selfesteem. “As a male, I have been encouraged and included. I enjoy the marae stays and I love the support offered by the tutors. It has been a great honour to study among a great group of weavers!”

New opportunities

for learning
he belief at Hagley College is that everyone should have the opportunity to learn and that these opportunities should be available throughout life. This is what the college’s After 3 programme creates: new opportunities for learning. These programmes are at a secondary learning level but with a difference. ‘‘Personalised learning is at the centre of how we work at Hagley,’’ says deputy principal Mike Fowler. ‘‘We know that students have many different reasons for engaging in study. Teachers in each After 3 course assist students to identify their personal goals to enhance the relevance of the learning to their particular needs. ‘‘Our After 3 courses build the skills and understandings needed to transition successfully into Senior College NCEA
programmes at Hagley, vocational pathways, or in some cases tertiary level programmes. Our After 3 teachers support students to identify and move in the direction they have identified as important.’’ After 3 gives adult and senior students the opportunity to study a wide range of Hagley’s courses away from their daytime commitments. Most courses run from early evening during the week and, in some cases,
in the weekend. ‘‘We offer over 50 courses in the faculties of art and media, community studies, English, English language learning, food and hospitality, health studies, languages, mathematics, performing arts and practical design (textiles and technology courses),’’ Fowlers says. ‘‘More than 750 students each year make the decision to study in After 3. We look forward to you making your own success story at Hagley in 2015.’’

Making dreams a reality
A
li Phillips has always known what her dream job would be. Through Aoraki Polytechnic she has been able to take the first steps along the path to making this a reality. Studying at Aoraki’s Christchurch campus, Ali is currently completing her second year of hairdressing, a Certificate in Professional Hairdressing, Level Three. “I have always wanted to be a hairdresser since I was little - it has been my passion for many years,” says Ali. “I had grown up doing hair, cutting my Barbie doll’s hair and generally fascinated with hairdressing.” With no experience in the industry, and having to balance study with the needs of her family as well, 26-year-old Ali found the perfect fit at Aoraki. “I’d been looking for a hairdressing course for some time and Aoraki seemed to suit my needs.” The Level Three full-time course runs over 34 weeks. It is designed to provide students with all the skills needed to work in a commercial salon environment, including working with clients to advance their cutting, consultation, colouring and styling techniques.
“This year and last year have both been very challenging and equally rewarding,” says Ali. “I have enjoyed every minute of it and love working with the people that have come through the course so far.” For Ali the most rewarding part of her study has been an increase in her confidence levels and learning how to interact with the general public on a professional level. Aoraki Polytechnic’s tutors are involved and respected in the industry, and provide invaluable links for students to the industry itself. Ali is creating a portfolio of her work, which will play an important role when seeking an apprenticeship next year to complete her Year Three qualification. Students are encouraged to aim high, with Ali intending to follow her apprenticeship with a full time hairdressing position. “My long term ambition is to open my own salon,” says Ali. Qualifications in hairdressing are available at Aoraki Polytechnic’s Timaru, Dunedin and Christchurch campuses. Visit www.aoraki.ac.nz or call 0800 426 725 for more information on getting your career underway.

ARTISTIC ENERGY By Larissa Mcmillan
W
hen a friend recommended Jonathan Milne’s book ‘Go! The Art of Change’ to Anne Bannock, she looked into studying at The Learning Connexion the school of art and creativity, based in Wellington which Jonathan founded and directs. She realised that its study-fromhome part-time option suited her down to a tee. “My life-long ambition was to go to an art school and to be part of the creative energy that goes with it.” “Enter a new world of understanding modern art and new ideas,” Anne said. Situated in picturesque Ngatimoti, artist Anne Bannock has made a studio retreat that caters to her creativity and to the public. “My studio is a converted cow shed which serves as my studio and gallery, and is open to the public in the summer.” The Advanced Diploma programme has been the best programme of study for Anne to follow, allowing her to discover new techniques and skills to add to her extensive creative repertoire. “Everyone I have met has been helpful, especially the tutors. I have met some students when I attended a block class and now I follow their progress via the magic of the workroom, TLC’s online student forum.” If you’d like to enquire about studying at The Learning Connexion School of Art and Creativity, call us on 0800 278 769, or email us at admissions@tlc.ac.nz.

L
earning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe workplace, but also an integral part of our engagement with the wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or on to the sports field? Not all workplaces are the same and the injury risk for each place can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance service. It is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. Take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high-risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability to perform effective CPR. These skills can be achieved on a course of eight hours’ duration and would generally fit into low to medium risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight-hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not cover
The majority of injuries occur outside of the workplace; in fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most common place for injuries to happen. New Zealand children are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in Australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home. Fatalities from leisure and sport are not far behind those in the workplace. The wider 12-hour course teaches the additional unit standard 6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk environments. This course covers many of the skills required to deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result in head neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes such as motor vehicle accidents. In times of emergency, such as the Canterbury earthquakes, many people were called upon to do first aid in a situation well beyond their comfort zone. This is the community resilience that we as good citizens should be trained for. Lives were saved as ordinary people pushed themselves into a role that they never expected. It is not difficult, and courses are not complicated. But one day, you will be called upon to help someone in need. Will you know what to do? If you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where it is located.

Named after the classic song by Th' Dudes, the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra's album BE MINE TONIGHT pays homage to great songwriters and performers from the past 100 years of NZ music, from Princess Te Rangi Pai's 1907 lullaby Hine e Hine (the “Goodnight Kiwi song”) to Lorde's 2013 mega-hit Team. Wake Up is of course Aaradhna's hit single, and Today Is Gonna Be Mine comes from Dunedin legend David Kilgour. In addition to the outstanding set of recordings, the band's stage show is famous for madcap hilarity and spontaneous audience participation. Behind the hijinks is a finely-tuned musical group who have truly cemented their place on New Zealand's entertainment scene. The band will tour BE MINE TONIGHT around New Zealand this November and will be joined by regular guest-star Amanda Billing (Shortland Street's recently departed Sarah Potts), whose impressive vocal skills feature all over the album.
