Bid to get CCTV camera
to make intersection safer
ANDREW KING
A surveillance camera installed to
deter prostitution could be used to
show how dangerous a Harewood
intersection is.
Residents near the Breens, Harewood
and Gardiners Rd intersection
have raised serious safety concerns
to the community board about children
crossing and near misses.
The Breens, Harewood and Gardiners
Rd intersection has put locals
off letting their children
cycle or walk to
school and has drivers
avoiding it.
Fendalton-Waimairi
Community Board
deputy chairman David
Cartwright (left)
said using a camera, like one on
Manchester St, St Albans, would allow
everyone to see the full picture.
The Manchester St camera was
installed on April 4 to deter clients
visiting sex workers in the residential
area.
Residents near the Breens, Harewood
and Gardiners Rd intersection
have raised serious safety concerns
to the community board about children
crossing and near misses.
Board deputy chairman David
Cartwright has asked for a temporary
camera, like the one used on the
corner of Manchester and Purchas
Sts, to monitor the intersection.
“We have heard from CTOC that
for every one reported crash, there
are 19 unreported ones. This will
give us the full picture,” he said.
Breens Intermediate principal
Nikki Clarke said it was a great idea
and was fully behind it.
“We try to encourage scooting,
biking and walking to school but it
is hard with this intersection . . . this
will show the full picture,” she said.
Harewood resident Julianne Grant
was delighted to hear something is
being done.
“It will show just what the community
has been saying. It will
show the near misses and just how
fast people are travelling along that
piece of road,” she said.
The Manchester St camera, a idea
of city councillor Ali Jones, was
installed to deter sex workers operating
in the residential area of the
street.
It has another week to go on its
free two week trial loan from ATF.
Resident Matt Bonis praised the
camera saying less and less clients
are visiting the girls in the area.
“It has really picked up the mood
of the neighbourhood. One of our
neighbours was at the end of his
tether and we were worried about
his mental health over this issue,”
he said.
New Zealand Prostitutes’ Collective
spokeswoman Anna Reed said
the camera trial was a good idea to
solve a long standing problem.
“If they move back over Bealey
Ave that would be better for everyone,”
she said.

Fire alarms could have saved church
ANDREW KING
Fire alarms could have saved a
Bishopdale church from serious
damage.
A deliberately lit fire at the back of
St Margaret’s Presbyterian Church
on Sunday morning has seriously
damaged the building to the point it
may have to be pulled down.

Specialist fire investigator Bruce
Irvine said the lack of early detection
systems has allowed the fire to get to
the point where it could do serious
damage.
“Fire doubles in size every 30 seconds,”
he said.
“Because of that there has been a
significant delay before crews could
attend the fire . . . it is highly unlikely

that the building can be saved and
will probably be pulled down.”
Minister Andrew Nicol said the
building completely complied with
the fire code.
“Everything complied with the
code. Now we have to maintain as
much normal activity as we can onsite,”
he said.
Mr Irvine said it was a common
afTeR
thing for churches and community
centres not to have fire alarms because
under the fire code they are
not required too.
“We have community facilities
that are susceptible because of the
code,” he said.
Police have arrested a man in his
30s in connection with the fire.

Rangi Ruru plans
for the tech age
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students
are being prepared for jobs
that don’t even exist yet with the
launch of a new Creative
Technology Hub on campus.
The hub opened yesterday and
is available to all students to assist
learning in a range of different
subjects, such as coding and
robotics.
Principal Sandra Hastie said the
school absolutely understands the
importance of putting the right
emphasis on STEM subjects, science,
technology, engineering and
maths, particularly for girls.
“The hub will support students
to prepare for a future where most
of the jobs they will be working
in don’t even exist yet,” she said.
“Our students are able to take
their own personal interests in
technology and grow them with
essential skills in areas including
coding, robotics, gaming, app development,
3D printing and technology,
web design and the interactive
digital world.”
The hub is a re-purposed space
with new equipment and the
bringing together of resourcing.
FUTURE-PROOFING: Rangi Ruru students watch a robot make its way
through a maze.
Performers theatre
dreams a step closer
GEORGIA
O’CONNOR-HARDING
Two promising performers are
one step closer to their dreams
after being accepted into the The
Edge Performers School in
Melbourne.
St Albans Jack Duff and Papanui
Jack Shatford of were not
only accepted into the
performing arts schoolthey
won full scholarships
to cover their tuition
fees.
They were two of three
students from Impact
Dance and Stage School
who won the scholarships worth
$8900 Australian.
“I was very surprised. Because
I thought I did a bad audition...I
was shocked,” Mr Shatford said.
The Edge Performers School
specialises in commercial jazz,
musical theatre, acrobatics and
singing.
Impact Stage and Dance
School director Mandy Roberts
said she was very proud of her
students who she had been training
since they were in primary
school.
She described her students as
self-disciplined, hard-working
and “nice boys”.
On top of being involved
in numerous productions this
year, Mr Duff has been attending
Canterbury University while
Mr Shatford has been at Hagley
Community College.
Both performers are hoping
to pursue careers in the musical
theatre industry.
Mr Duff (left) said he has decided
to put his bachelor of
law and arts on hold after
deciding to pursue working
in the musical theatre
industry.
He said he is still considering
his options but is
looking at performing arts
schools in Melbourne.
“I’ve always wanted to live in
Melbourne...it is just such a vibrant
city and has such a strong
cultural scene”
Mr Duff hopes one day to be
involved in a large musical theatre
production overseas.
“It sounds like so much fun.
Just one big adventure...its so
central to musical theatre in Australasia,”
Mr Shatford said.
Both Mr Duff and Mr Shatford
are involved in Showbiz Christchurch’s
upcoming production
of Hairspray at the Isaac Theatre
Royal next month.

$76m arterial plan criticised
BY ANDREW KING
The St Albans Residents
Association says $76m
allocated for the Northern
Arterial Extension and the
Cranford St upgrade could be
used for commuter transport
projects.
The city council released its
draft annual plan last week and
is now considering $76m to
fund two projects in the amended
long term plan.
Last year it voted to remove
the $50m funding provision for
the Northern Arterial extension
and Cranford St upgrade projects
from its long term plan.
SARA co-chairwoman Emma
Twadell said the funding would
be better spent on commuter
travel, public transport and a
cycleway out to Waimakiriri
Bridge and beyond rather than
dumping a heap of traffic in
their backyards.
“Research in other cities
proves bigger roads do not
solve congestion,” she said.
“Car pooling lanes, bus
lanes, park and ride facilities
and easier access for buses to
get into the city centre would
be better options than another
motorway.”
Shirley-Papanui Community
Board chairman Mike Davidson
NEW ARTERIAL: The Northern Arterial will end at Innes Rd and traffic will have to make its way
through St Albans to the city centre something residents are not happy with. Inset: Mike Davidson
said while he agreed that more
roads may not be the answer,
congestion from the north had
to be addressed.
“I agree with Emma, we
need to look at other transport
options . . . before we get to the
point of not being able to cope
with roading issues lets look at
things like rail now, it is
future-proofing the city,” he
said.
“The northern arterial will
take place,’’ he said.
“We have to work out how
it can go ahead with the least
amount of negative effect for
the St Albans residents.”
Mr Davidson has asked city
council staff to investigate how
the northern arterial can be
linked into the city centre’s oneway
system.
“If we can get it linked up
with the one-way systems then
cars will not be rat-running
through St Albans,” he said.
HAVE YOUR SAY: Should the
money being allocated for two
roading projects be used for
more public transport and a
cycleway out towards the north?

Les McFadden
Rugby stalwart big part
The Belfast Rugby Club will celebrate 100 years of
playing the code over Queen’s Birthday weekend.
A face that has been behind the scenes for 60-plus
years is Les McFadden. He speaks with Andrew
King about players that have come through the
club, his love for the community and what he thinks
about the new Super Rugby format
Hi Les, tell us how long you
have been involved in the
Belfast Rugby Club for?
I have been involved with
the club since 1953. I started
playing for them in the under
five stone 10 pound grade from
memory. I played right through
the grades but didn’t make the
premier side due to injury. I then
got involved with the committee
when I was 17.
That seems like an early age
to get into the committee.
Yeah, it was but I was sort of
roped into it (laughing). I am a
life member now and still get
involved with all the funding
stuff for the club.
The club is celebrating its
100th on Queen’s Birthday
weekend, should be a big one?
Yeah, it will be a good one.
We have a whole range of things
planned for it. Steve Tew and a
few others will be there. Unfortunately
ex-club member Wayne
Smith won’t be able to make it
due to All Black commitments
but we have three days worth
of celebrations so it should be a
good event.
Your connection to rugby
runs quite deep then, you also
work with the Canterbury
Rugby Football Union?
Yes I do. I am team leader
of the liaison officer group for
the union. I was the assistant
to Alex “Grizz” Wyllie for the
Canterbury A team from 1982 to
1985 and we held onto the Ranfurly
Shield for three years after
we nicked it from Wellington,
around 25 defences I think.
Between 1986 and 1995
I floated between being the
manager and assistant manager
of the Canterbury team. On top
of that I am also the All Black
liaison officer when they are
playing here, I have done that
for more than 20 years.
What is it like to have a connection
to the All Blacks for
more than 20 years?
It’s great. They are such a
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
great set of blokes, so down to
earth. I don’t ever really talk
rugby with them as they probably
do enough of that already.
I do all the bookings for where
they stay, train, relax and put
together an itinerary with all the
things they want to do while
in Christchurch. Unfortunately
after the earthquakes, we are a
bit short of venues for them but
that will come right.
Who has been your
favourite to get to know over
the years?
Daniel Carter and
Richie McCaw used to
wind me up a bit about
Belfast but they are
complete gentlemen.
You can’t say enough
about Richie, the man
is a legend. They are
brilliant around the
kids, but that is what
they are there to
do.

of Belfast centenary
They are role models and all
the aspiring All Blacks look up
to them.
In 63 years around the
Belfast club you must have
seen some changes?
We have the same story that
repeats quite often when it
comes to our players getting
picked off by the high school
squads. We will have players
come through the junior ranks
and show some promise, but
then head off to high school
and start playing for their first
teams. For this reason we have
struggled in the top division
for quite a while. But the one
thing that hasn’t changed is the
atmosphere in the clubrooms on
Saturday. It is always full of kids
and adults and it is buzzing.
Who has been some of the
standout players you have seen
come through Belfast?
Bill Bush is still in the club
and is a life member. He was
a great player for us, the All
Blacks and the New Zealand
Maori team in the 70s. Then of
course there is Wayne Smith
who was an All Black and
turned out to be pretty handy in
the coaching box. They came
up through the club. We have
had some All Blacks that were

out through lack of trying. The
club is only part of what I get
involved with in the community.
I am a Rotary member, on the
Belfast Emergency Response
Plan committee alongside all
the work for the CRFU and the
historical union.
You were awarded a Queen’s
Service Medal and a Local
Hero Medal for your services
to rugby and the community,
how did that feel?
It was alright, if I am being
honest it was a bit embarrassing
as a lot of other people do a lot
of work behind the scenes as
well. There are a lot of people
around that are pillars of the
rugby community that should all
be recognised.
You mentioned you were
married, can you tell me about
your family?
Yes. I married Elaine 52 years
ago and we have three children.
Are they all still in

No, we have two overseas and
one here in Christchurch. Kim

and lives in Australia, Greg
works for a big fencing company
in Oklahoma, and Dayle is
an administrator for Smiths City

Oklahoma, is he a big
basketball fan?
The biggest. He has season
tickets to all of the home games
and loves the fact that Steven
Adams is over there getting
stuck into some of those soft
Americans (laughing). He has
actually managed to get a bunch
of signed Steven Adams gear for
our 100-year celebration in June.
We will raffle it off to raise some
money for the club.
Have you been over to the
United States?
Yeah, we haven’t been for a
while. But my daughter is over
in mid-June. And my son will be
here mid-June also so that will
be good. He comes every year.
Finally what is your
impression of the new and
improved Super 18 format?
It is messy. I don’t like the
fact that you don’t play
everyone. Some of the new
Zealand teams have more
points than other teams leading
their conferences. It has got to
unwieldy but it is no surprise
the Kiwi squads are at the
top. We have such a fantastic
understanding of the game.

Belfast club set to celebrate
ANDREW KING
Belfast Rugby Club will
celebrate 100 years of rugby
on Queen’s Birthday weekend,
something the club was not
expecting to do until 2047.
Originally it was thought the
club formed in 1947, just after
World War 2 and it celebrated
its 25 years in 1972 and 50
years in 1997.
It wasn’t until club stalwart
and life member Les McFadden
found an application to register
a Belfast team in 1908 that they
realised the club was older than
first thought.
Belfast played their first game
that year against the Richmond
Rugby Club.
It had teams in the Canterbury
Rugby Football Union competition
from 1908 until 1938 and
from 1939 went into recess
during World War 2 as a number
of the players were drafted into
the war.
As the club was not playing
for eight years, its 100th year actively
playing rugby is this year.
Records prior to the 1947
team a few and far between
with a couple of team lists from
1908 found a photo of the 1935
team.
Mr McFadden found a clipping
from the Christchurch Star

colours of green and gold were

accepted”, the club was born.
From 1908-38 the club plied
its trade in Darroch St and used
the Orange Hall as clubrooms.
When the club reformed in
1947 the pavilion on Sheldon
Park, which is now a playcentre,
was used for the club.
Ten years later local farmer
and club patron Edgar Wilson
purchased a building from
the Lyttleton Naval Base and
moved it to 803 Main North Rd
as the new Belfast clubrooms.
A dance attended by over 400
people was held for the opening
on December 13, 1958.
The club finally settled at 8

Grant Jarrold.
Saturday will be a mix of
teams playing rugby throughout
the day with a spit roast meal at
7.30pm for registered attendees
and invited guests.
A live band will play later on
and a raffle will be held.
Mr McFadden said there will
be plenty of gear to be raffled
off including some special items
sent from the United States.
“My son has sent over some
Oklahoma City Thunder gear
signed by Steven Adams, which
is extremely difficult to get but
we have it and we will raffle it,”
he said.
On top of the OKC gear there
is signed All Black, Crusaders
and Canterbury gear to be won
as well.
“I have collected a good deal
of stuff over the years but I have
given it all away,” Mr McFadden
said.

New church unites congregations
ANDREW KING
CHUFFED: Reverend Hugh Perry stands excitedly in front of the recently completed
St Albans Uniting Parish ready to make it a community hub.
PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN
The St Albans Uniting Parish opened
its doors to its congregation for the first
time on Sunday since completely rebuilding
its church.
The church was rebuilt after the February
22, 2011, earthquake damaged the
hall beyond repair.
Now the groups and parishioners are
coming back hungry for a space to worship
and use for community activities.
Reverend Hugh Perry has been with
the parish for eight years and said the
church was built with the future in mind.
“The worship area sits 200 and we
currently have a congregation of around
40, so we have plenty of room to grow
into,” he said.
He said most of the groups they had
before the rebuild had come back to
book space.
The parish is a coming together of two
Methodist congregations and one Presbyterian
group.
St Albans Presbyterian Church on Berwick
St and St Albans Methodist Church
on Rugby St merged onto the Aldred
Methodist Church site on the corner of
Nancy Ave and Knowles St.
It was renamed the St Albans Uniting
Parish to symbolise the coming together
of congregations.
At the start of 2015 the old church was
demolished, in late February the foundations
were laid for the new building and
it was completed on April 18.
“I am pretty chuffed with the whole
thing, it’s a great worship space. We
want to be the local point that everyone
can come together and have a great
space to use,” he said.
Rev Perry said the area was lacking
community space where the residents
can attend groups or meet who is around
them.
“We will have the Menzshed here,
plenty of rooms to hold workshops or
classes in and the community garden
will provide locals with fresh vegetables,”
he said.
Its garden is already a success after recently
winning both the community garden
and best yield award in the Shirley-
Papanui Edible Garden Awards.

Wairakei School pupils have
learned how to make a camp
fire, cooked potatoes and were
welcomed on to Ngati Moki
Marae for their school camp.
The first day was full of new
experiences including being
part of a powhiri, sharing
their mihi, before heading to
the beach to make bonfires to
cook potatoes.
They also explored Southbridge
which included walking
around a community
garden complete with pigs and
chickens.
After all the activity the
pupils got back to camp for
a spaghetti bolognese dinner
with apple crumble and ice
cream for dessert.
LEARNING TO COOK: Wairakei School pupils learnt how to build a
camp fire and then cooked potatoes on it.
END RESULT: After cooking
potatoes on their fires the pupils
put some butter on them and
tucked in.
Good deed from Rangi girls

A tale of two lives
ANDREW KING
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and
Christ’s College students have
come together to put on the production
Our House which opens
tomorrow.
It’s a musical that explores the
themes of love, family values,
growing up, responsibility and
dealing with losing the people
that shape us.
Our House follows lead character
Joe, played by Christ’s
Henry Rolleston, and the two different
paths his life could head
down after his 16th birthday.
One path means a criminal record
and social exclusion, while
the other will lose him the girl
he loves, Sarah, played by Rangi
Ruru’s Cassie Henderson.
It spans seven years, during the
two alternative lives, Joe deals
with the consequences.
All of these choices and decisions
are watched over by Joe’s
deceased father who pulls the
two stories, the two very different
lives, together.
Christ’s College’s director of
drama and co-director David
Chambers said the producers
from both schools are delighted
by the high calibre of the actors
and the production team.
“It is a multi-talented cast
headed by the two leading characters
who have the triple threat
quality of being able to act, sing
and dance,” he said.
“Cassie Henderson, wellknown
from TV’s X-Factor,

plays Sarah, the lead female role
and the lead male role is taken by
Henry Rolleston who played the
title role in the Christ’s College
2015 production of Dr Faustus.”
Rangi Ruru’s dance teacher
and co-director Hannah Clarkson
said it’s a modern musical full of
anarchy, madness and mayhem.
“It’s one of those productions
when the final package is more
than the sum of the individual elements,”
she said.
With a cast of over 60, Our
House presents the top actors
from Rangi Ruru including Ella
Minehan Fitzgerald and Electra
Scott playing Sarah’s best mates,
and Kathryn Ford as Joe’s mother.

Volunteers wanted for
dementia sufferers
Alzheimers Canterbury is
looking for recruits to join
its volunteering service by
becoming a companion,
activities assistant, or driver for
people with dementia.
A companion visits an Alzheimers
Canterbury client on
a weekly or fortnightly basis.
They may go for a walk, watch
a movie or have a cup of tea
and a chat.
Alzheimers Canterbury
volunteer co-ordinator
Monique Schoneveld said they
are trying to help dementia
sufferers have “fun and
meaningful” lives.
“We want clients in our
community to live well with
dementia, to have fun and
meaningful lives. Volunteers
can play a huge role in this often
being the highlight of their
day,” she said.
Activity assistants help with
a community activities programme
run through Alzheimers
Canterbury, and give clients
opportunities to enjoy the
things they used to in a normalised,
safe and supported
setting.
Activities include swimming,
community gardening, art appreciation,
baking for Ronald
McDonald House, and others.
Another way to make a client’s
day is as a personal driver.
Many clients have lost their
driver’s license so transport can
be an everyday hurdle.
To make sure a volunteer
is compatible with a client,
there is a matching service run
through Alzheimers Canterbury,
which ensures a match.

how to become a volunteer,
companion, activities
assistant, or driver for a
client, email monique@

Crew’s success draws young dancers

recent success at the World

The Papanui hip-hop dance

Now aspiring dancers are

Manager Carissa Crow said
the roll normally sits around

“We currently have 220

And it is not just the kids

“We have quite a few adult
enrolments on the back of our
adult crew going overseas and
doing so well,” she said.
The trouble with a number
of people wanting to get
involved is finding enough

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | MAY 2016
EQC’s approach to
its repair obligations
Land settlements update
Keith Land, EQC Head of Canterbury Land Settlement
EQC is now working on the remaining eleven percent of
green zone properties and red zone properties (not owned
by the Crown), which still need their land claims resolved.
“From a total of 73,000 such properties which had land claims,
there are now around 8,000 where the land claims still need to
be settled by EQC,” says EQC Head of Canterbury Land
Settlement, Keith Land.
This year EQC is aiming to complete these remaining land
damage settlements, with the majority of work focusing on
claims for Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV) and
Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV) land damage.
As of early May, 60 percent of potential Increased Flooding
Vulnerability (IFV) customers (9,600) have had their IFV claims
resolved. This also includes any outstanding visible land
damage settlements these customers may have.
Together with resolving remaining IFV claims, the priority now
is on settlements for the around 4,400 ILV customers. Some
properties have both ILV and IFV land damage.
“We’re on track to start making the first payments to ILV
customers from late June,” says Mr Land.
Settlements for ILV land damage will be made by cash payment,
in line with how IFV and other types of land damage from the
2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes have been settled to date.
ILV settlements will be based on one of two approaches: repair
cost, or reduction in market value of the property due to ILV land
damage – also called Diminution of Value (DOV). Information on
ILV, and details of these settlement approaches, including
answers to a number of questions, can be found on the EQC
website at www.eqc.govt.nz/ILV
ILV land damage settlements on the basis of DOV
EQC expects that most ILV properties will be settled solely on the
basis of DOV. This is because, where the house has remained in
place after the earthquakes (as many have), there will not
generally be repair methods available to repair ILV damage on the
property. The first payments made in late June will be to those
customers with ILV land damage whose settlements are based on
DOV. “The ILV DOV approach and settlement amounts will be
similar to how we’ve been handling IFV claims,” says Mr Land.
Claim
deadline
looming
Christchurch residents whose
homes suffered damage
in the 29 February 2016
earthquake still have time
to lodge a claim with EQC.
The deadline for lodging
a claim is 30 May 2016.
This deadline does not stop
you from lodging a new claim
with EQC if your dwelling
incurs new damage as part
of recent or future quakes.
EQC encourages anyone
whose home suffered
damage in this event to make
a claim even if the damage
appears minor.
“We’ve been working closely with customer advocates groups to
make sure the settlement communications our customers receive
is clear and helps them understand our decision.”
ILV land damage settlements
on the basis of repair cost
Work is underway to determine the settlements for ILV
customers whose payments can be based on repair cost.
“We are planning to start contacting customers in early June
who, based on the information we have to date, have the
opportunity to complete a ground repair on their property to
address the ILV land damage,” says Mr Land. Before the repair
cost settlements can be made, EQC will be working closely with
these customers to understand their plans for rebuilding on the
site and whether the plans include any ground repair.
“We will have a dedicated team case managing these customers
to ensure EQC has a good understanding of their situation and
they are kept up-to-date with their claim’s status,” says Mr Land.
Land assessments and settlements in general
“We have identified different types of land damage – visible land
damage, IFV and ILV. For each type of land damage, we use a
range of assessment processes that allow the appropriate
settlement for each customer and are consistent with the
legislation in place.
“Each property is different and is assessed on a case-by-case
basis, so one customer’s settlement is not indicative of
another’s,” says Mr Land.
For more information on the approach to land claims and their
settlement, visit www.eqc.govt.nz/land.
“We also have an open and robust review process in place for
those customers who want us to review our decisions on
whether their insured land has damage and/or the settlement
amount paid,” says Mr Land.
Check out www.eqc.govt.nz/landreview for more information
on land settlement review.
Land settlements for red zone properties
EQC is assessing all residential land claims across Canterbury
in a consistent way – whether they are green zone properties or
red zone properties.
The Government’s decisions related to the red zone are separate
from EQC’s decisions related to the assessment and settlement
of land damage claims.
As agreed with CERA and now Land Information New Zealand
(LINZ), EQC’s priority continues to be to resolve land damage
claims for properties in the green zone and those in the red
zone, whose owners did not accept a Crown offer.
“However, we continue to work with LINZ, which has taken over
management of the around 7,000 Crown owned red zone
properties. We expect to agree a settlement approach with LINZ
in the second half of 2016, applying the same policies EQC has
used to settle green zone claims,” says Mr Land.
EQC has so far received just
over 10,500 building, contents
and land claims since the first
quake on Valentine’s Day.
People can lodge claims
with EQC online at www.eqc.
govt.nz/claims via email on
info@eqc.govt.nz or by calling
0800 DAMAGE (0800 326 243).
The EQC call centre is open
7am to 9pm Monday to Friday
and 8am to 6pm on Saturdays.
There has been some discussion about how the Earthquake
Commission meets its obligations under the Earthquake Commission
Act (EQC Act) following the release of the Joint Statement agreed
with a group of Canterbury homeowners, the EQC Action Group.
Information on what the joint statement means for customers
and how customers can request a review of their claim can be found
at www.eqc.govt.nz
EQC acknowledges that every homeowner affected by earthquake damage
faces a set of circumstances specific to their property and that a different repair
strategy is likely to be applied in each case. That said, EQC uses some general
principles when making its decisions. EQC insures an earthquake-damaged
house for its replacement value up to a certain cap, usually $115,000 including
GST, according to the EQC Act. Given there has been some confusion about
what “replacement value” means, it’s worth having a close look at the
definition in the EQC Act, which includes three main elements:
1. the costs which would be reasonably incurred
2. in reinstating the building to a condition substantially the same as but not
better or more extensive than its condition when new
3. modified as necessary to comply with any applicable laws.
Some of the commentary following the Joint Statement focused on the
concept of “when new”, which refers to when the house was new. While
“when new” is one element, EQC needs to take into account each of the
three main elements, when meeting its obligations under the Act. For
instance, the concept of when new needs to be seen in light of complying
with any applicable laws.
How ‘replacement value’ may apply in practice
Example 1
Following an earthquake, a brick chimney falls through the corrugated iron
roof of a 1900s-era villa.
The falling chimney smashes through the ceiling, shattering a ceramic light
fitting that was already badly deteriorated prior to the earthquake.
To repair the roof, the corrugated iron in the area where the chimney fell
would be replaced with new corrugated iron. If corrugated iron of the same
type as the damaged iron is not available because it is no longer
manufactured, the new corrugated iron would be a modern product, which
matches as closely as possible the profile of the damaged corrugated iron.
In some situations, the new corrugated iron may be coloured steel or
the corrugated iron may need to be repainted to match the colour of the
existing roof.
EQC may also need to reinstate or replace non-damaged parts of the roof
that need to be removed in order to repair the earthquake damage, such as
the iron ridging on the roof peak.
The repair work to the roof would be carried out to ensure the work meets
applicable laws such as the performance standards in the Building Code.
The light fitting would be replaced. If the existing wiring couldn’t be safely
reconnected to the light fitting then an Electrical Safety Inspection would be
required. The wiring would need replacing to a point where the electrician
determines it can safely be reconnected, and to meet any legal requirements
for that work.
Example 2
An earthquake damages the so-called ‘rubble foundations’ a home is built
on. If the foundation can be repaired so that the foundation is in a condition
substantially the same as when it was new and the repair work complies with
applicable laws, the foundation repair will meet the “replacement value”
standard. In other cases, to meet the standard of applicable laws, part or
all of the foundation may need to be replaced. EQC considers each repair
strategy based on the facts specific to each home. Individual foundation
repairs are dependent on the nature of the foundation, the type of
earthquake damage suffered and the make-up of the concrete.
Customers can request a review
If any customer believes EQC has missed earthquake damage to their home,
disagrees with the repair strategy EQC has proposed, or believes their
settlement amount is not correct, they can use EQC’s standard processes to
request a review of their individual claim on 0800 DAMAGE (0800 326 243)
or email info@eqc.govt.nz

Clean lint filters in
your clothes dryer
BY MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK
MANAGEMENT OFFICER
Last Saturday a fire reported in a clothes
dryer in a commercial building in St
Asaph St was dealt with by the two city
crews attending using breathing apparatus
and fire extinguishers.
It’s another timely reminder that colder
conditions and the need for drying washing
inside must hit us soon considering
we’re just a couple of weeks short of officially
being in winter.
Home tumble dryers are found everywhere
and will be utilised more and more
as winter bites. They are generally fairly
safe but we do occasionally get called out
when they ignite.
The best prevention for this happening
is to clean the lint filter every time before
turning the machine on and to make
sure someone is home while it’s operating.
Then if all does go wrong the result
should be no worse than that in St Asaph
St. It does tend to ruin your day when
contacted at work to be told your house
has burned down.
Two good examples last weekend of
firefighters going the extra mile included
the retrieval of a model plane from a
tree at QE II and the assistance given
to an elderly lady in South New
Brighton.
DISASTER: Tumble dryers can ignite if they
aren’t maintained.
This woman had slipped and crashed
through a glass door at her home. She
was kept in hospital overnight and then
released, only to come home to the still
broken door.
Wainoni’s crew spent an hour and a
half contacting insurance and repair
people.
They stayed available for further calls
but saved some real anguish by taking
charge. That’s good work.
BRYNDWR
The name Bryndwr has Welsh origins
and was given to the area by European
settler Charles Jeffreys, who owned 100
acres of farmland in 1880. The name
translates ‘on the brink of the water’.
The area was named for the small creeks
forming the headwaters of the Waimairi
Stream and close proximity to Lake
Bryndwr.
NOR’WEST NEWS
BRyndWR IS generally identified as being the area
around Aorangi and Wairakei Roads. It is one of two
suburbs in the norwest of Christchurch (Burnside
is the other) which experienced rapid growth when
Christchurch expanded out from the city centre in the
1950s and 1960s. This expansion was accelerated due
to World War Two ex-servicemen returning to build
homes and settle with their families.
Lake Bryndwr was the name given
to the three shingle pits fed by an
underground spring located in close
proximity to Roydvale Avenue and
Wairakei Rd. It was quarried by the Ashby
Brothers which provided much of the
stone and gravel for drives and paths. The
main pit, known as Lake Bryndwr, was
extremely deep - between 4.5 - 6 metres

in depth. On the outskirts of the main
pit was a race track (1.5 miles in length)
where midget cars were raced. The lake was
utilised for water skiing and recreational
fishing (brown and rainbow trout). A
sawmill was located closer to Wairakei
Road. The dragline, used to pull the
shingle out of the pits, was moved to the
Waimakariri Bridge about 1962.
Most of the land in Bryndwr and
Burnside was farmed for the first hundred
years in small blocks to sheep, cattle,
market gardening and orchards. In 1878
the Greer homestead was built (now 302
Greers Road) and was a visible landmark
for miles.
A church of note in Bryndwr is the St
Johns Methodist Church at 49 Bryndwr
Road. The church was consecrated in
1927. A memorial lychgate was built at the
Methodist Church dedicated to the pioneer
methodists of the St Albans circuit.
Waimairi School was one of the Bryndwr
area’s earliest school. Originally, from
1914 it was a side school of Papanui
but came into existence in its own right
in 1920. Waimairi School had a large
number of children from two orphanages
in the area – one Presbyterian, the other
Methodist.

Reclaim your
identity
When it comes to dentures, Christchurch people
have access to world-leading techniques and oral
aesthetics right on their doorstep.
At his Montreal street studio Lovebite,
internationally renowned dental
technician Richard Greenlees creates
beautiful bespoke dentures with small
nuances in the fabrication, colour and
shape, and even slight imperfections to
create a uniquely individual smile.
There is no need for dentures to look
false. Richard takes a great deal of
satisfaction in making bespoke dentures
that look 100 per cent real and natural,
personally guiding his patients through
the transformation process to craft a
smile that reflects their individuality and
personality, and recreates their natural
pre-denture smile.
Not only do Lovebite teeth look
real, the whole structure and shape of
the patient’s face is transformed with
Richard’s top-of-the-line dentures,
something he calls his signature ‘denture
lift’.
“With appropriate facial support, the
facial tissues are brought back into the
correct position, the lips are reformed,
and beauty is restored,” he says.
it is the interior architecture of a
Lovebite denture that helps to create a
more youthful appearance by recovering
the face and skeletal shape that can be
lost after years of wearing dentures.
As the smile is transformed, so are the
patient’s confidence, and the way they
feel about themselves.
Richard’s vast experience includes
15 years of running his own clinic in
the prestigious harley st, London,
where he treated people from all walks
of life, from barrow boys to the rich
and famous, politicians, actors and
musicians.
his techniques are recognised as
world-leading among his international
peers, and he is regularly asked to
lecture and run courses worldwide.
Miles Cone (DMD, Ms, FACP, CDt),
a prosthodontist from Oregon, UsA,
said in November 2015: “Richard
Greenlees’ craftsmanship is as stunning
as it is unique. There is liberation in
the calculated imperfection, indeed an
asperity that reflects a purely human
element.”
in addition to dentures, Richard also
carries out crown and bridge, veneer
and implant work, in conjunction
with like-minded dental surgeons who
complement his creative and aesthetic
work.
“teeth are as different as fingerprints
and vary greatly depending on a person’s
age, sex and race. Dentures from
Lovebite reflect this, and are as unique
and individual as the people they are
made for,” says Richard.
There is nothing more satisfying for
Richard than to see his patients leave
the Lovebite studio with their selfconfidence
and identity restored, as well
as their smile.
Confidence and beauty is restored with a new
denture by Lovebite.
As the smile is transformed, so are the
patient’s confidence, and the way they
feel about themselves.

State of the art schools
for Christchurch’s east
FAMILY HOME: Judy Pethig’s family moved to Papanui into a property at 56 North Rd, an
attractive arts and craft house that still exists.
Street name recognises
family’s ties with area
MURRAY WILLIAMS,
PAPANUI HERITAGE
GROUP
Judy Pethig (née Tulloch) was
born in Wellington in 1939.
In 1946 her father, a radio
engineer, was transferred
to Christchurch to take
responsibility for the technical
aspects of the state radio
network in the South Island.
The family moved to
Papanui into a property at
56 North Rd, an attractive
arts and craft house that still
exists.
However, appearances were
misleading, Judy remembers
that the house was, at that
stage in poor repair and had
not really been properly
finished in spite of being
supposedly completed in the
early 1920s.
However, she recalls the
wood panelling and the
beautiful staircase as well
as the lead light windows,
the latter evoking mixed
feelings as it was her job to
clean them, a task she found
difficult and time consuming.
Judy attended Papanui
Primary School in Winters Rd
and then transferred to the
Adventist Central School in
Grants Rd.
Although the school was
small, Judy found a very
supportive atmosphere
and it was decided that she
would remain there for her
secondary education as it
offered the commercial course
she wanted.
In 1952, Judy’s father
purchased land adjoining
the family home at 56 North
Rd which he developed as
a market garden producing
fruit and vegetables.
One of his customers was St
George’s Hospital.
Judy helped out and recalls
bundling asparagus which
was secured with two rubber
bands.
She also grew gladioli and
sold them from the front gate
of the property.
In 1954, Judy’s father sold
enough of his land to develop
six residential sections.
The family name is
commemorated in the name
of this street, Tulloch Pl,
which runs off Halliwell Ave.
The family later purchased
a ladies’ clothing business at
2A North Rd and renamed it
Vanity Fair, Judy worked in
the shop which was managed
by her mother.
In 1963, Judy married Ian
Pethig, and the reception was
held across the road from the
family home in the RSA Hall
on the corner of Langdons Rd.
This site is now occupied by
the Westpac Bank.
Judy subsequently lived
In Windwhistle and Picton
for 46 years as her husband
worked as an automotive
mechanic in these towns.
Eventually the attraction
of friends and relatives
prompted her return to live in
the Papanui area.
•Judy Pethig’s formative years
were spent in Papanui and she
has vivid memories of living,
learning and working in the
area.
A performing arts centre, sports
facilities, gymnasium, a cutting-edge
library and technology suites are just
some of the facilities that will be built
into the new Avonside girls’ and
Shirley Boys’ High Schools.
The two schools will be open
alongside each other on a new campus
in time for the beginning of the 2019
school year. The ministry of education
is spending at least $80-million on the
campus.
Qe2 park has been named as the
preferred site for the campus, where
it could be built alongside the eastern
Sport and recreation Centre that will
have numerous swimming pools and
water facilities.
This will be the first time in new
Zealand’s history that two single sex
schools have co-located. Avonside
girls’ principal Sue Hume says the new
campus will offer the best of both the
single-sex and co-educational worlds.
“Students will spend most of their day
in a single-sex environment but there
will be times when they can interact
with students from the other school.
for example, we’ll have a shared library,
a combined café and an extensive
bus network that students from both
schools willl use. This enables our
students valuable social development,”
says Sue Hume.
“This will a place the community can
be proud of with facilities that everyone
will be able to use. We are looking
forward to seeing the proposal become
reality.”

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
Shirley Boys High School
Connecting with students
SHirley BoyS’ High School encourages students to strive for personal
excellence. guided by the commonly known expression BTB (Better than
Before), Shirley boys develop attitudes and skills for lifelong learning and
personal growth in a positive, supportive environment. The culture and ethos
of the ‘Shirley man’ focuses on connections with students’ roots, so they are
socially and emotionally competent, resilient and optimistic about the future.
learning, both inside and outside the classroom, is specifically tailored to
suit boys needs ensuring higher engagement, resulting in greater success and
higher achievement levels. Through enrichment and acceleration classes across
all curriculum levels and subjects, Shirley Boys’ High performance Centre
offers multiple learning pathways – nCeA, igSCe and extension courses
through the University of Canterbury.
programmes focus on inquiry
learning, high thinking skills and
global perspectives.
Academic scholarships are awarded
annually to the top performing student
at each year level and an entrance
Scholarship is awarded on the basis of
an examination for year 8 students.
in January 2019, the new Shirley
Boys’ will open alongside Avonside
girls’ on the former Qeii park site.
This will be the first time two single
sex schools have co-located in new Zealand and both schools are looking
forward to the move. “There will be one campus, but there will be two separate
schools each retaining its own culture, curriculum and uniform”
says John laurenson.
Riccarton High School Peerswick Scholarship
every yeAr riccarton High School awards
two peerswick Scholarships to year 8 students
who show strengths in the academic, sporting,
cultural and service fields.
The term ‘peerswick’ is an Upper riccarton
name which has been associated with the
school since 1959 when the school magazine
was named peerswick. in the latter part of
the 19 th century, a local horse stud was called
peerswick after a famous racehorse at the
stud called The peer and the area was called
peerswick for many years.
The 2012 winners were Dean Holdaway
and rachel Wu. now in year 13, the two have
made their mark in the school just as have all
the Scholarship winners.
Winning the $1,000 peerswick Scholarship
was an achievement they were proud of as
well as providing a useful investment for
the future.
At school they gained entrance to the top
class, felt confident that they could achieve
and seeing their names on the honours board
in the hall has been a constant reminder of
their potential.
Dean came to riccarton from Halswell
School, while rachel came from Westburn
School.
Both students have a fine pedigree in music.
They are members of the new Zealand
Secondary Schools Symphony orchestra
where they play the clarinet. They have both
gained grade 8 in clarinet.
rachel was a member of the chamber group
‘papricca’ which won the people’s Choice in
the national Chamber music competition,
a fine achievement. She also sings in the
auditioned choir, ‘Stella Cantare’. Dean
plays in the Concert Band and the Jazz Band
and last year had the lead role in the school
production of ‘Bugsy malone’.
Both rachel and Dean have achieved
excellence in nCeA in both year 11 and
year 12. rachel gained 2 nd place in the Brain
Bee competition as a year 11 and has gained
distinction in several maths and science
competitions.
Dean is planning to study electrical
engineering at Canterbury, while rachel will
study medicine at otago.
As year 13s they are very involved
in student activities, organising events,
mentoring year 9s at the beginning of the year
and being role models through the school.
They feel well prepared for this task as they
have been encouraged to be leaders and show
responsibility right from
year 9.
‘The peerswick Scholarship was not only
wonderful to win, it also gave us a great
start as we began our time at riccarton. We
have had great years here and this year is no
different,’ said Dean.

Not all first aid certificates
are created equal
While first aid courses must
achieve prescribed new
Zealand Qualification
Authority (nZQA) standards
to be certified, not all training providers deliver
the same course. Providers offering shortened
courses or courses not meeting nZQA training
requirements are now in the spotlight.
nZQA and the Department of Labour have
published a factsheet to outline requirements
for first aid training based on currently
registered nZQA unit standards. Below are a
summary of what we think you should know.
Course differences
training providers can market their courses
under a wide range of names. employers
should be cautious in thinking that a one-day
workplace first aid course will meet their needs
in industries such as construction, engineering,
forestry and industrial. More advanced
learning is important to meet the proper
workplace assessments and meet health and
safety obligations.
If there are risks of falling, or medium to high
injury, then take careful look in the shortened
courses as these subjects may not be covered.
It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure
that employees attend courses appropriate to
their industry risks.
Unit standard-based first aid training
The minimum duration of first aid training
and assessment will be for training based on:
• unit standards 6400, 6401
(or 26552) and 6402 (or 26551),
a minimum of 12 hours’ training and assessment
• unit standards 6401 (or 26551) and 6402 (or
26552), a minimum of eight hours’ training
and assessment
• For refresher training where the learner’s
certificate is no older than two years and three
months from date of issue, a minimum of six
hours’ training and assessment
First aid training must cover the outcomes
of the nZQA first aid unit standards being
assessed and any additional modules identified
by the employer through the workplace risk
assessment process as outlined in Department
of Labour guidelines. Only first aid training
providers accredited by nZQA can award the
credits and issue a first aid certificate.
nZQA conduct regular external evaluative
reviews on all training providers. new Zealand
red Cross is proud to hold a double highly
Confident accreditation in both educational
Performance and Capability in self-Assessment.
This means that nZ red Cross is a Category
One training provider.
First aid refresher training
refresher training is required every
two years to maintain the certificates.
The requirement allows for a
three-month period of grace, so the cut off
period is two years and three months, which
should allow sufficient time to enrol onto a
suitable course.
If a certificate is not renewed for more
than three calendar months from the second
anniversary date of issue, it will be necessary for
the certificate holder to complete full first aid
training to maintain currency.
For the purposes of workplace first aid
emergency management, employers will need
to ensure that their first aid personnel maintain
competency at all times.

aim is to offer personalised service
to make it easy for their customers,
who may be unsure what to do if their
vehicle gets damaged.
“We take pride in our work and
ensure that our customers are happy
with the results.
We also offer a pick-up and delivery
