THEY’RE OFF:<br />
Students at St<br />
Andrew’s College<br />
made it their mission<br />
to return the annual<br />
cross-country event<br />
to the school grounds<br />
for the first time<br />
in five years. More<br />
than 700 students<br />
competed in the<br />
event which, due to<br />
campus development<br />
after the February 22,<br />
2011 earthquake, was<br />
held off-site. School<br />
head of co-curricular<br />
Denley Jones said<br />
the race returning<br />
was a student-driven<br />
initiative. Ari Graham<br />
won the senior girls<br />
race while Mitchell<br />
Small won the senior<br />
boys.<br />
Drug arrests linked to bike thefts<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
FOUR PEOPLE arrested on<br />
drugs charges could be linked<br />
with bike thefts around Burnside<br />
High School and Canterbury<br />
University.<br />
About 25 high-end bikes have<br />
been stolen from the school<br />
and university over the last two<br />
months.<br />
Senior Sergeant Stephan<br />
McDaniel said a search warrant<br />
was executed in Burnside on<br />
<strong>May</strong> 20 and four people were<br />
arrested.<br />
They have appeared in court<br />
facing a number of cannabis and<br />
synthetic cannabis charges and<br />
were released on bail.<br />
“There were other drugs in the<br />
house and we have sent them<br />
off for analysis,” Senior Sergeant<br />
McDaniel said.<br />
It is alleged these four are<br />
directly linked with the thefts of<br />
bikes from the school and possibly<br />
the university.<br />
No charges have been laid<br />
about stolen equipment yet but<br />
Senior Sergeant McDaniel said<br />
the investigation continues.<br />
“We have seized electronic<br />
equipment from the house to<br />
determine where the bikes are<br />
being sold,” he said.<br />
Burnside High School principal<br />
Phil Holstein said it was a<br />
relief for the school community.<br />
“We have increased our surveillance<br />
around the bike bays to<br />
be better prepared in the future,”<br />
he said.<br />
University liaison officer Senior<br />
Constable Ken Carter said no<br />
bike thefts had been reported to<br />
him in the last fortnight.<br />
The university experienced a<br />
spate of bike thefts.<br />
Engineering student Tim<br />
Green (above left) managed to<br />
chase off three youths attempting<br />
to<br />
cut the lock to his mountain<br />
bike.<br />
He spotted them from the<br />
window where he was studying.<br />
Another student Charles More<br />
was not so lucky – his bike was<br />
stolen from in front of the University<br />
of Canterbury Student<br />
Association during the day.<br />

thefts died down around<br />
the university. Or are thefts<br />
going unreported? Share<br />

CHOCOLATE CHEWED OVER AT COUNCIL<br />
A HEATED discussion was quelled<br />
at a city council meeting last week<br />
when a councillor was told to “eat a<br />
Snickers.”<br />
During last week’s meeting, city<br />
councillor Jamie Gough joked<br />
that fellow councillor Glenn<br />
Livingstone should have a snack<br />
during passionate discussions<br />
over a deputation presented to the<br />
city council.<br />
The popular American chocolate<br />
bar’s motto is: ‘You’re not you when<br />

New community hub plans<br />
CONCEPT DESIGNS for the<br />
St Albans Community Centre<br />
have been released for public<br />
consultation.<br />
The current design concept<br />
has been developed by the<br />
community, alongside the city<br />
council and the St Albans community<br />
centre working party,<br />
using information first gathered<br />
in 2010, when an expansion to<br />
the previous community centre<br />
was being planned.<br />
The public can comment on<br />
the project by visiting the city<br />
council’s website clicking on the<br />
Have Your Say page or by filling<br />
out a submission form at the<br />
transitional St Albans Community<br />
Centre.<br />
There will be two drop-in sessions<br />
at the transitional community<br />
centre for the public to come<br />
and meet the working party and<br />
discuss the project. The sessions<br />
will take place on June 8 11am-<br />
1pm and June 16 6-8pm at 1049<br />
Colombo St.<br />
The Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board will approve the<br />
final design in July. Construction<br />
of the new centre is set to begin<br />
in 2017.<br />
The previous centre was<br />
demolished after sustaining<br />
severe earthquake damage, and<br />
a transitional community centre<br />
was installed in 2012.<br />
This temporary facility was<br />
intended to be operational for<br />
two to five years until construction<br />
of a permanent replacement<br />
could get underway.<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board chairman Mike Davidson<br />
said the board was excited with<br />
the development and progress of<br />
the new centre and was looking<br />
forward to the public’s feedback.<br />
“Throughout the board’s<br />
engagement with residents and<br />
community groups there was a<br />
very clear desire to replace the<br />
old community centre, so the<br />
working party was formed,” Mr<br />
Davidson said.<br />
“Using information from both<br />
pre and post-earthquake, a design<br />
has been created that truly<br />
captures the essence of<br />
FRESH DESIGN:<br />
The concept<br />
design for<br />
the St Albans<br />
Community<br />
Centre was<br />
released on<br />
Friday and the<br />
city council<br />
wants feedback<br />
from the public. <br />
St Albans. This group has<br />
worked with city council staff to<br />
create a concept design, which is<br />
now ready for feedback from the<br />
wider community,” he said.<br />

fund camera<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
FUNDING TO keep a security<br />
camera in St Albans will be<br />
provided by a local community<br />
board.<br />
The Manchester<br />
St camera,<br />
brainchild of city<br />
councillor Ali<br />
Jones (right), was<br />
installed on April<br />
4 to deter clients<br />
visiting sex workers<br />
in the residential area.<br />
Now the three-week free trial<br />
is over, the Shirley-Papanui<br />
Community Board has agreed<br />
to fund the camera for another<br />
month.<br />
It will cost $960 plus GST and<br />
will be funded from the board’s<br />
discretionary fund.<br />
Cr Jones said poor weather<br />
contributed to the reduction of<br />
sex worker activity.<br />
“We, as a board, want to see<br />
what the next four weeks hold,”<br />
she said.<br />
“After the next four weeks, I<br />
hope to have completed my inquiries<br />
regarding other possible<br />
funding streams.”<br />
ATF loaned the camera for<br />
three weeks and set it up on the<br />
corner of the Manchester and<br />

Veterinary practice<br />
TINKER – THE SURVIVOR<br />
There is never a dull<br />
moment at McMaster &<br />
Heap vets and funnily<br />
enough the critical<br />
serious cases mostly<br />
show up on weekends,<br />
or 7pm at night. I’d<br />
arrived into work one<br />
Saturday to help out<br />
and Tinker was in our<br />
surgical area, having<br />
just been transferred<br />
from the After<br />
Hours Clinic. He<br />
looked terrible (<br />
his face had taken<br />
the full impact of<br />
a collision with a<br />
car) but he was on<br />
a fentanyl drip and<br />
his pain seemed<br />
well managed.<br />
Miraculously he<br />
had survived and<br />
his success story is<br />
due to not just our<br />
surgical efforts that Saturday but also the<br />
events that took place by many people<br />
prior to us seeing him.<br />
His accident happened Friday night and<br />
some great human being saw him on the<br />
road and immediately delivered him to<br />
the After Hours clinic, which incidentally<br />
saved his life. We are so fortunate to have<br />
an emergency centre open through<br />
the nights and weekends when other<br />
clinics have closed. The team there<br />
swiftly examined and<br />
stabilized Tinker and<br />
started him on pain<br />
medications, antibiotics<br />
and intravenous fluids.<br />
Then his owners were<br />
contacted as Tinker<br />
wore a collar with<br />
nametag attached. This<br />
means of identification<br />
(or a microchip) is so<br />
important because<br />
without an owners<br />
consent we can’t really<br />
treat a critically ill<br />
patient to save its life.<br />
He was monitored and<br />
cared for all night until<br />
he was dropped off to<br />
us Saturday morning.<br />
Even though it was a<br />
weekend with less staff<br />
rostered on, I knew<br />
Tinker couldn’t wait<br />
until Monday for surgical<br />
repair. His lovely, worried<br />
owners wanted for us to do “everything”<br />
we could to ensure Tinker came home.<br />
That’s where our outstanding team need<br />
to be greatly commended, because<br />
regardless if any of them had plans that<br />
night, they all, without me asking, stayed<br />
late to ensure the best possible care<br />
and attention was given to a critically ill<br />
patient.<br />
Tinker was anaesthetized, his skull<br />
was radiographed and I repaired his<br />
mandibular jaw fracture with wire and his<br />
hard pelate injury. He had a massive gnash<br />
under his chin that required suturing and<br />
he had several broken teeth. A feeding<br />
tube was placed in his oesophagus to<br />
enable us and his owners to feed him<br />
post operatively. Cats with fractured jaws<br />
can take weeks to eat on their own. Steve<br />
was called in to assess his eyes as they<br />
were completely closed over and I wasn’t<br />
sure whether he had retinal injuries, lens<br />
or corneal damage.<br />
Luckily Steve felt<br />
there was no ocular<br />
damage, just a lot of<br />
bruising and facial<br />
swelling.<br />
Tinker was managed<br />
intensively over the<br />
coming week, his<br />
days spent with our<br />
hospital nurses and<br />
nights at the After<br />
Hours. He needed<br />
everything done<br />
for him from feeding six<br />
times a day, loads of medications to be<br />
given, his face washed and he needed<br />
grooming as he couldn’t do this for<br />
himself. His owners<br />
visited him daily and<br />
he really loved their<br />
visits. He was the<br />
perfect patient to treat<br />
– he was stoic, obliging<br />
and grateful.<br />
Tinker was a FULL<br />
TEAM effort and I’m so<br />
pleased to report he’s<br />
home now, lounging<br />
on beds, walking<br />
around his section,<br />
able to groom himself<br />
and even eating a<br />
little on his own. Steve<br />
and I couldn’t do the<br />
job we do without the<br />
dedicated, caring staff<br />
we have.<br />
A fantastic outcome<br />
and even though<br />
Tinker looks a little<br />
facially different now,<br />
his owners report they have their “old”<br />
friend back.<br />
Dr Michele McMaster<br />
Don’t leave the<br />
kitchen when cooking<br />
• Mark Thomas<br />
– Fire Risk Management Officer<br />
IT’S BEEN a while since I’ve talked<br />
about cooking fires in kitchens but there<br />
were five of these this week including a<br />
couple that caused quite considerable<br />
damage and inevitably one that resulted<br />
in ambulance treatment for the house<br />
occupant from smoke inhalation.<br />
As always the advice is the same. Don’t<br />
leave the kitchen when you’re cooking on<br />
the stove top.<br />
If you are cooking with fat or oil have<br />
the lid of the pan, an oven tray or a<br />
breadboard always available to slap on<br />
the top if the worst happens and flames<br />
appear.<br />
A quick fix with no ongoing problems<br />
or a kitchen on fire with the weeks of<br />
inconvenience that involves. It should be<br />
a no-brainer really, shouldn’t it?<br />
A number of quite odd fire calls<br />
featured this week. A fish smoker was<br />
found on fire in Barrington Park. A<br />
distraught Mum was attended to in<br />
Addington where she had locked herself<br />
out of the house with two toddlers inside.<br />
A lady rang for help because she had<br />
found a mouse in her laundry. A crew<br />
were called to accident and emergency<br />
the hospital to help a young woman<br />
whose finger was somehow struck fast in a<br />
doorknob.<br />
Finally, we had a call to a car fire at<br />
DAMAGE: Kitchen fires require a lot of<br />
cleaning up.<br />
a service station that turned out to be<br />
a blown engine and two calls to low<br />
hanging smoke that turned out to be mist.<br />
I suspect we’ll have some more of these<br />
now with winter starting to bite. Stay<br />
warm, stay safe!<br />

Permit parking trial In Brief<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
CONTRACTOR parking<br />
permits will be trialled in<br />
Merivale.<br />
The city council decided on<br />
Thursday it would run a oneyear<br />
trial on a section of Holmwood<br />
Rd of resident-based<br />
parking permits for contractors<br />
where there is no off-street parking.<br />
The permits were the idea<br />
of Merivale resident Dr Stuart<br />
Gowland. He lobbied the Fendalton-Waimairi<br />
Community<br />
Board, and said some contractors<br />
have vehicles too big to fit<br />
on some properties and need to<br />
park on the road.<br />
City councillor Jamie Gough<br />
said the trial was a fantastic<br />
result.<br />
“The reason we have asked for<br />
this is because the current system<br />
was completely inadequate,”<br />
he said.<br />
“The current system does not<br />
allow for weather dependant<br />
work or projects that run for<br />
longer than the predicted time<br />
frame.”<br />
The way contractor permits<br />
will work is still being finalised<br />
by city council staff. However,<br />
Cr Gough said it will be a very<br />
straightforward process.<br />
TRIAL APPROVED: The city council decided on Thursday it<br />
would run a one-year trial on a section of Holmwood Rd of<br />
resident-based parking permits for contractors where there is<br />
no off-street parking.<br />
The contractor would verify<br />
themselves with the city council<br />
and be issued a permit for its<br />
vehicles.<br />
The permit would display<br />
the registration number of the<br />
vehicle to indicate to authorities<br />
that the vehicle is exempt from<br />
time restricted parking.<br />
Dr Gowland is thrilled the<br />
trial is going ahead.<br />
“It would have been crazy to<br />
try roll it out across the city,” he<br />
said.<br />
“This way we can test the waters<br />
and see if it is good enough<br />
to make it policy.”<br />
He said there is a similar<br />
system operated by the Devon<br />
County Council in the United<br />
Kingdom, where he got the idea<br />
from.<br />
The city council will retain<br />
its current permission-based<br />
system for the rest of the city.<br />

RUNNING FOR COUNCIL<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board chairman Mike Davidson<br />
will run for a seat on the city<br />
council this year. He has decided<br />
to run in the Papanui Ward.<br />
Mr Davidson said he believed<br />
the best way to add value to his<br />
community is by committing<br />
full time as a councillor. Fellow<br />
board member and current<br />
city councillor, Pauline Cotter,<br />
was nominated by the People’s<br />
Choice, a Labour aligned group,<br />
to run for a seat in the Innes<br />
Ward. They join board deupty<br />

Choir’s heartfelt tribute<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
A TIGHT-KNIT choir<br />
group have recorded a<br />
song for the funeral of<br />
a terminally ill former<br />
member now living in the<br />
Netherlands.<br />
Women in Harmony<br />
recorded East Timorese<br />
hymn Ita Hotu Maromak<br />
Nia Povo We Are God’s<br />
People at the request of<br />
Dorien Pel who is dying<br />
of cancer.<br />
Ms Pel was a long time<br />
member of the choir up<br />
until about six years ago<br />
when she first developed<br />
cancer.<br />
When her house was<br />
damaged in the September<br />
2010 earthquake,<br />
she moved back to her<br />
country of birth, the<br />
Netherlands, for what<br />
was supposed to be six<br />
months. But the stay ended up<br />
becoming permanent.<br />
In spite of surgery, the<br />
cancer had returned and Ms<br />
Pel was already planning her<br />
funeral in the Netherlands when<br />
she returned to Christchurch for<br />
a visit in December and January.<br />
Choir member Judi Smitheram<br />
said choir members had met Ms<br />
Pel at a social gathering and sang<br />
together again.<br />
HARMONY: Choir member Dorien Pel, standing with red scarf, fifth<br />

“Dorien was wonderful at<br />
always bringing poetry to our<br />
gatherings and she had written<br />
a poem especially for us,” Ms<br />
Smitheram said.<br />
It was during this visit that Ms<br />
Pel asked if they would record<br />
the song, which the choir had<br />
not performed in more than<br />
eight years.<br />
The choir sourced a recording<br />
of the song from Australia’s Radio<br />
National station to help them<br />
go over it and get the pronunciation<br />
right, as the words are in the<br />
Tetum language.<br />
After recording it, they sent it<br />
to Ms Pel.<br />
“We got a lovely note back<br />
from Dorien saying how much<br />
she appreciated it and she was<br />
very moved,” Ms Smitheram<br />
said.<br />
Women in Harmony has<br />
about 20 members from around<br />

Charity that helps<br />
most vulnerable<br />
falls on tough times<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
A LOCAL trust which acts as a<br />
problem solver for vulnerable,<br />
disadvantaged and struggling<br />
people around New Zealand<br />
said it is in urgent need of<br />
funding.<br />
SigJaws Trust helps people in<br />
a variety of ways, from lobbying<br />
for retention of services,<br />
suggesting changes to<br />
legislation, finding work<br />
and housing and promoting<br />
innovations.<br />
However, project manager<br />
Gary Watts (right),<br />
who founded SigJaws<br />
in 2001, said the trust<br />
had been struggling financially<br />
for some time and needed more<br />
funding to carry on.<br />
The trust’s operating expenses<br />
were “conservatively” about<br />
$207,000 a year and while it had<br />
enough to carry on over the next<br />
six months, finding new funding<br />
was a big challenge.<br />
“We have got over 200<br />
clients now that we are<br />
dealing with on a day-to-day basis<br />
and a lot of these people have<br />
slipped through other systems<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
big-time,” Mr Watts said.<br />
One of its recent projects has<br />
included working with Canterbury<br />
University to develop a<br />
robotic arm which would allow<br />
mobility-impaired drivers to fill<br />
up at petrol stations without leaving<br />
the car.<br />
The trust had received funding<br />
from organisations including the<br />
Ministry of Social Development,<br />
the Rotary Club of<br />
Christchurch and The Lion<br />
Foundation within the last<br />
year.<br />
However, it had been<br />
unsuccessful in seeking<br />
funding from the Red<br />
Cross, the Canterbury Community<br />
Trust and the city council.<br />
“If our funding dries up it’s just<br />
impossible to carry on,” Mr Watts<br />
said.<br />
SigJaws Trust board member<br />
Jamie Hoffman, who has cerebral<br />
palsy said Mr Watts had been<br />
pivotal in helping him find suitable<br />
accommodation after the<br />
earthquakes.<br />
“People just don’t realise how<br />
much good he does out there,”<br />
Mr Hoffman said.<br />

Protect our streams<br />
This week’s Soapbox<br />
is from Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi Community<br />
Board member Faimeh<br />
Burke about the state of<br />
streams in her ward and<br />
what she believes are<br />
the factors behind the<br />
decline in water levels<br />
Once flowing through the north-west<br />
suburbs of Christchurch and being a<br />
treasure for young and old, streams<br />
including the Waimairi and Wai-iti have<br />
dried up since March last year.<br />
The crystal clear water has given way to<br />
stormwater mixed with rubbish and contaminates.<br />
The fact that the aesthetics of these<br />
streams has been damaged is not the only<br />
issue for residents. The effects on fish, bird<br />
habitats, recreational values, serious mosquito<br />
problems and unpleasant smells are<br />
also causing great concern for them.<br />
There are various reasons which have all<br />
possibly contributed to the disruption of<br />
the springs that fed the streams in our city.<br />
A significant increase of irrigation<br />
consents issued by ECan in inland Canterbury,<br />
ECan’s failure to efficiently protect<br />
our streams, rivers and lakes from the<br />
negative effects of stock damage as well as<br />
environmentally unfriendly developments<br />
are among the factors which might have<br />
contributed to the deteriorating situation.<br />
Although we can’t prevent the earthquakes<br />
and the damage that they might<br />
create and don’t have any direct influence<br />
in the amount of the rainfall, we<br />
should try our best to prevent further<br />
man-made damages and remedy the existing<br />
ones. Forests, grasslands and wetlands<br />
act like sponges that slow down and absorb<br />
water when it rains.<br />
However, in cities, where these areas are<br />
often replaced with impermeable surfaces<br />
such as roads, footpaths and car parks,<br />
water is no longer absorbed by the action<br />
of the plants and instead flows directly into<br />
streams via the stormwater system.<br />
After listening to residents, the Fendalton-Waimairi<br />
Community Board has asked<br />
the city council to give a high priority to<br />
investigate remedies for the regeneration of<br />
the Wai-iti stream, as part of its integrated<br />
water strategy which includes the health of<br />
spring-fed rivers and streams.<br />
It is also time that ECan seriously reconsiders<br />
the consequences of its increased<br />
irrigation consents and its lenient way of<br />
protecting our streams.<br />
We can’t afford to do nothing, after all, it<br />
is quality of our life which is at stake.<br />

A reader responds to a<br />
recent article about St<br />
Albans residents unhappy<br />
about the $76m Northern<br />
Arterial and Cranford St four<br />
laning projects:<br />
Ian McKenzie, St Albans<br />
– I support the call from the St<br />
Albans Residents Association<br />
for more public transport and<br />
cycling options and not spending $76m<br />
on delivering more traffic<br />
more efficiently into upper Cranford St<br />
to the detriment of St Albans and the<br />
city.<br />
I made a verbal submission last<br />
year making the same protest to the<br />
Canterbury Regional Council, the city<br />
council, New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
and the city council Northern Arterial<br />
Corridor Project RMA applications and<br />
hearing.<br />
We need more people in the city, we<br />
don’t need more cars.<br />
I suggest that the Northern Arterial<br />
and Cranford St road upgrade options<br />
ignore history and international<br />
developments in transport planning for<br />
cities.<br />
There has been a strong public lobby,<br />
post-earthquakes, for improved public<br />
transport, for a pedestrian and cyclistfriendly<br />
city.<br />
The concept of delivering a greater<br />
number of cars to mid-Cranford St and<br />
then having the drivers sort themselves<br />
out from there to their various city<br />
destinations is, in my view, counter to<br />
the concepts expressed by residents and<br />
captured in the vision of ‘An Accessible<br />
City’.<br />

A reader responds to a recent<br />
article about a camera being used<br />
to deter clients visiting sex workers<br />
in a suburban setting:<br />
Mae Kiely, city centre – “If we can get<br />
them to move back into the city centre it<br />
will make both parties happier”, quote<br />
from city councillor Ali Jones.<br />
The article was advocating to get<br />
sex workers to relocate back into the<br />
city centre and out of the suburbs and<br />
therefore away from the people and<br />
children living in those suburbs.<br />
What about the people and children<br />
living in the city centre? Don’t we<br />
matter? Just get the sex workers out of<br />
your area.<br />
Too bad if you happen to live in the<br />
city centre, is that the approach?<br />
We live around the corner from the<br />
Margaret Mahy playground where<br />
hundreds of children come to play –<br />
and it’s my understanding that the<br />
council wants families to come back<br />
into the centre. I live on Peterborough<br />
St with my two children and we have<br />
neighbours with children. Are you really<br />
saying that it’s okay for sex workers to<br />
be around city centre children but not<br />
suburban children?<br />

I was so shocked to read as<br />
much.<br />
“And the issue is not with<br />
prostitution itself, it is the noise,<br />
damage and rubbish that is left<br />
behind in a residential area” (Ali<br />
Jones). Again are you saying<br />
this is fine for city dwellers<br />
but not suburbanites? Gosh,<br />
the discrimination is mind<br />
blowing…<br />
I don’t like the activity<br />
happening on our street. Like<br />
Matt Bonis (of St Albans) said,<br />
we have found needles, our<br />
neighbours have had things<br />
stolen and our neighbours have<br />
been woken up in the middle of<br />
the night to find people having<br />
sex on their property. That’s not<br />
okay. But hang on, if it’s not okay<br />
for you, it’s not okay for us.<br />
I don’t know how to tackle this<br />
problem – it’s not easy. I don’t<br />
have the answers but I believe sex<br />
workers need to be supported.<br />
Ideally they would operate<br />
indoors somewhere.<br />
Just moving them onto another<br />
area doesn’t help – it just makes<br />
it worse for us as the numbers<br />
in the centre will increase. We<br />
should tackle the issue together,<br />
as a city and not just have the<br />
rich areas trying to offload it into<br />
less well off areas.<br />
“If we can get them to move<br />
back into the city centre it will<br />
make both parties happier.”<br />
Both parties? The only ones<br />
who will be happier are the St<br />
Albans residents. Not the sex<br />
workers and not the areas you<br />
conveniently “relocate” them<br />
to. It’s very much a win-loose<br />
scenario. Let’s look for a better<br />
outcome.<br />
City councillor Ali Jones<br />
responds:<br />
Thanks for taking the time to<br />
write. I totally agree with you<br />
regarding “something needs to be<br />
done urgently – to help them and<br />
not just shove them around.”<br />
Pauline Cotter, police, myself,<br />
city council staff, the prostitutes<br />
collective and several social<br />
support agencies have been<br />
trying to find a resolution for<br />
almost three years, with work<br />
also having gone on before Cr<br />
Cotter and I were elected in<br />
October 2013.<br />
I am advised that the problem<br />
is the poor prostitute reform act<br />
legislation that was put in place<br />
by Tim Barnett.<br />
In spite of assertions by<br />
the Labour and National<br />
Governments, local councils<br />
cannot put a bylaw in place<br />
because the legislation does not<br />
provide us with a strong enough<br />
foundation from which to draft<br />
a bylaw.<br />
We need to be confident<br />
that it can be enforced and be<br />
successfully defended in court.<br />
The cameras are achieving<br />
what no one has been able to,<br />
to date and that is one, deter<br />
activity that has made people’s<br />
lives a misery for years, and two,<br />
capture breaches of the summary<br />
offences act that would otherwise<br />
be missed to support any legal<br />
action that could be taken.<br />
I agree that we do not want<br />
to shift the problem into your<br />
backyard Mae and I would<br />
encourage you to contact your<br />
Christchurch Central MP<br />
Nicky Wagner to implore her to<br />
champion a change in the PRA<br />
legislation, something I know<br />
she has tried already but in my<br />
opinion needs to be strongly<br />
promoted again.<br />
Then the city council as a<br />
local authority may have the<br />
foundation upon which to draft<br />
enabling us to enforce controls<br />
on where street prostitution can<br />
take place.<br />
If you have any ideas in the<br />
meantime, I’d love to hear them<br />
so please feel free to get in touch.<br />
We asked readers if they<br />
thought Bishopdale should<br />
have a direct bus line into<br />
the city centre. A reader<br />
responds:<br />
Una Atkins, Bishopdale –<br />
Living in Bishopdale, yes, buses<br />
go via Bishopdale but there is<br />
nothing direct into the city.<br />
Being a low-socio economic area,<br />
a lot of people rely on the buses<br />
and it is quite frustrating having<br />
to walk either to Wairakei Rd or<br />
Harewood Rd.<br />
Not a lot of people have that<br />
pleasure if in ill health.<br />
The petition taken by the<br />
Bishopdale Community Centre<br />
was proof of this.<br />
However, I agree with Ms<br />
Smith that ECan had made up<br />
its mind before the petition was<br />
started.<br />
I know that residents of<br />
Bishopdale area rely on taxi’s.<br />
This is an expense in its own<br />
right and therefore a lot of the<br />
elderly are housebound.<br />
If a bus zig-zagged itself<br />
around the “outer” roads such as<br />
Breens Rd, Kilburn Stand wound<br />
round various other roads, as<br />
before, a lot more people would<br />
get out and about and enjoy the<br />
city.<br />
Good Luck to Ms Smith, I wish<br />
her well, but from the past, I<br />
doubt whether ECan will change<br />
it’s mind.<br />
All city residents of<br />
Christchurch should have access<br />
to decent routes into the city so<br />
they can go and explore the city<br />
or visit health establishments<br />
which are out of reach unless in<br />
an expensive taxi.<br />
Even if a bus left every hour<br />
from the Bishopdale Shopping<br />
Centre, that would improve<br />
things.<br />
Do it ECan!

Ruth Gardner<br />
Community volunteer’s work<br />
Ruth Gardner worked<br />
as Volunteering<br />
Canterbury’s<br />
manager for more<br />
than 20 years<br />
until she retired<br />
last month. Fraser<br />
Walker-Pearce<br />
talks to her about<br />
voluntary work after<br />
the earthquakes,<br />
running the<br />
show at wedding<br />
ceremonies, and<br />
living with the town<br />
crier<br />
How long have you been<br />
involved with Volunteering<br />
Canterbury for?<br />
I’ve been involved with<br />
Volunteering Canterbury for<br />
21 years.<br />
And what have you<br />
achieved in that time?<br />
They weren’t just my achievements,<br />
I was leading a great team<br />
that led a whole group of volunteers<br />
and encouraged volunteering<br />
throughout Canterbury.<br />
Sure. How many volunteers<br />
did you get into the community<br />
RECOGNITION: <strong>May</strong>or Lianne Dalziel spoke at Ruth Gardner’s retirement function to recognise her<br />
work for Volunteering Canterbury over 21 years.<br />
in your time? Do you know the<br />
number?<br />
Thousands in my time, I<br />
probably couldn’t tell you the<br />
exact number. After the earthquake<br />
there was a lot of informal<br />
volunteering, and it took time to<br />
become more formal again. By<br />
the end of my time there, we were<br />
having a couple hundred volunteers<br />
a month applying.<br />
Okay, so who is next in line<br />
for your job?<br />
The organisation has decided<br />
now to have two managers, one<br />
that does marketing outreach,<br />
and she’s been there for four<br />
years, and there’s a new man that<br />
will be coming in too.<br />
What was some of the work<br />
you got involved with because of<br />
the earthquake?<br />
Well we had a lot to do with<br />
clearing liquefaction off the<br />
streets with the help of volunteers,<br />
the Student Volunteer<br />
Army and the Farmy Army. We<br />
made sure those people that<br />
needed help got it.<br />
How many people are involved<br />
in Volunteering Canterbury?<br />
There are only two paid workers<br />
full time, but there is another<br />
group of about 10 who help out<br />
voluntarily. They do store work,<br />
accounting, PR work, stores or<br />
expos, website, trust board, all<br />
kinds of things, whenever we<br />
needed something we knew<br />
where to find those people.<br />
Wow, sounds like you’ve had<br />
some busy days?<br />
It was always busy, always varied,<br />
and there was always something<br />
different every day. It keeps<br />
you on your toes.<br />
Did you still feel like that at<br />
the end of your 21 years?<br />
Yes, absolutely, I still feel like<br />
that, I had just had enough of full<br />
time work, so now I’m able to do<br />
other things which is great.<br />

recognised but not finished<br />
Oh that’s good then. What do<br />
you do in your spare time now?<br />
I still actually do a bit of voluntary<br />
work, I chair the residents<br />
committee in the Avon Loop,<br />
and that’s with a lovely bunch of<br />
people too. At the moment we’re<br />
working hard to rebuild a local<br />
community centre. There’s seven<br />
on that committee, and others<br />
help around the place. I’ve been<br />
involved for quite a long time. But<br />
since the earthquake the need has<br />
become different for a lot of communities.<br />
We also have a community<br />
cottage that we maintain and<br />
rent out.<br />
With Volunteering Canterbury<br />
did your role change after<br />
the earthquake to more of an<br />
emergency recovery mode?<br />
Yes it did, in fact we had to put<br />
some of our policies to the side<br />
after earthquake. Because there<br />
were urgent things that had to<br />
happen right away, and a lot of<br />
informal volunteering took place.<br />
It was also a bit difficult in terms<br />
of health and safety with people<br />
going around those dangerous<br />
chimneys.<br />
Are you from Christchurch?<br />
I’ve been here for 30 years<br />
and I was also brought up here,<br />
so I’ve spent more than half<br />
my life here, but I was born in<br />
Auckland. I went to St Albans<br />
Primary School, and then<br />
back to Auckland when I was<br />
about 10, and lived there for 20<br />
something years, but now I love<br />
Christchurch and I wouldn’t<br />
leave.<br />
Oh that’s good to hear! What<br />
high school did you go to?<br />
Epsom Grammar in Auckland.<br />
I don’t have a degree but I did<br />
feminist studies at Canterbury<br />
University and a bit of study at<br />
the polytechnic. And I’m actually<br />
a celebrant too, with the certificate<br />
and everything.<br />
Wow, you’re qualified all over<br />
the show.<br />
Well, when you’re in the voluntary<br />
sector you never know what<br />
will come in handy, and what<br />
different skills are useful.<br />
And now that you’ve retired<br />
from Volunteering Canterbury,<br />
FAMILY<br />
TIME: Ruth<br />
Gardner<br />
and<br />
husband,<br />
the town<br />
crier,<br />
Stephen<br />
Symons,<br />
with their<br />
two adult<br />
daughters.<br />
Her<br />
daughters<br />
now both<br />
live in<br />
London,<br />
and work<br />
as a lawyer<br />
and an IT<br />
manager.<br />
do you plan to do a bit more<br />
with your celebrant’s certificate?<br />
Oh yes, absolutely. Now that<br />
I’m retired I’m hoping to do more<br />
celebrants work.<br />
Do you know how many weddings<br />
you’ve done?<br />
Oh, I really don’t know. I’d say<br />
about 100 weddings, but a lot<br />
fewer since the earthquakes. But<br />
I’m hoping now to have more<br />
time to do more weddings. I’m<br />
also a keen blogger, I write about<br />
anything that’s going on around<br />
here, and anything to do with the<br />
central city. I’ve been doing that<br />
for 10 years, and I have more than<br />
1000 followers, which has taken a<br />
long time. But that’s on realruth.<br />
wordpress.com if you wanted to<br />
have a look.<br />
Very good, I definitely will.<br />
What are some other hobbies?<br />
I enjoy my garden and I write<br />
poetry. I write mainly rhyming<br />
poetry, I joined a group of women<br />
poets, and I like to walk and relax<br />
with friends.<br />
And are you married with kids?<br />
Yes, I’m married and two adult<br />
daughters who both live in England.<br />
Both near London, one is a<br />
lawyer and one is an IT manager.<br />
They’ve done very well, yes.<br />
And does your husband work<br />
still?<br />
Yes, he does – he’s actually the<br />
town crier. It makes for some<br />
interesting conversations for sure.<br />
He’s originally from England, but<br />
he’s been doing that for about 26<br />
years. He started five years before<br />
me, to the day. He’s very keen to<br />
keep doing that.<br />
Where in the city are you<br />
based?<br />
We’re in one of the remaining<br />
little old cottages in the Avon<br />
Loop now.<br />

Boys’ High too good for Lincoln<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High<br />
will go into this week’s annual<br />
game against Christ’s College in<br />
fine form.<br />
The all boys’ school were too<br />
much for Lincoln High School<br />
at the weekend, dismissing the<br />
visitors 86-0 in a one-sided<br />
affair.<br />
After a slow start, including<br />
a loss to Marlborough Boys<br />
and draw with Nelson, Christchurch<br />
Boys appear to now be<br />
hitting their straps as they look<br />
to make it 16 consecutive wins<br />
over Christ’s.<br />
This year’s annual fixture has<br />
been the most hyped in recent<br />
years with Christ’s College<br />
looking a different side from the<br />
one that lost 80-0 in last year’s<br />
fixture.<br />
Under the coaching guidance<br />
of former All Black captain<br />
Reuben Thorne and former<br />
Crusader Cameron McIntyre,<br />
Christ’s find themselves in an<br />
unfamiliar position at the top of<br />
the UC Championship.<br />
A 36-0 win over Roncalli<br />
at the weekend is the latest<br />
evidence to suggest <strong>2016</strong> is the<br />
school’s best chance in recent<br />
years of ending the drought<br />
which goes back to 2000.<br />
St Andrew’s have retained<br />
the Moascar Cup, with a 10-10<br />
draw on Saturday meaning the<br />
trophy will stay in Christchurch.<br />
A late try from Sam Gilbert<br />
was just enough for last year’s<br />
semi-finalists who are unbeaten<br />
through five games in this year’s<br />
championship.<br />
St Andrew’s face another<br />
tough test this weekend when<br />
they host defending champions<br />
St Bede’s.<br />
The 2015 champions had a<br />
victory in the latest round, a<br />
28-8 win against Rangiora High<br />
moves them into the top half of<br />
the championship.<br />

Professional team<br />
key to dental centre growth<br />
THe peOple on the team are an<br />
integral part of the growth at St Albans<br />
Dental Centre, with all of the dentists<br />
dedicated to providing professional,<br />
high-quality dental care to their patients.<br />
Recent staff changes and additions<br />
have seen that professionalism<br />
underlined as the practice expands to<br />
service the community. Dr Sarah Norton<br />
has joined the team to replace Dr Ben<br />
eggleston, who has relocated to Nelson.<br />
Sarah graduated from the University of<br />
Otago in 2010. She then worked for three<br />
years for a large group practice on the<br />
Gold Coast. Sarah spent three months<br />
travelling with her husband before<br />
settling in Christchurch.<br />
Sarah is passionate about providing<br />
excellent-quality dental care in a friendly<br />
and gentle manner and the other dentists<br />
say they feel privileged to have her on<br />
board.<br />
Dr Andrew paul has been locuming<br />
while Dr Kristine Bettle is on maternity<br />
leave and has now become a permanent<br />
member of the team.<br />
Andrew completed his studies at the<br />
University of Otago in 2009 and worked<br />
as a house surgeon in Christchurch<br />
Hospital before moving to Australia<br />
for four years where he worked in<br />
both hospital and private-practice<br />
environments. Hospital work inspired<br />
Andrew with a special interest in oral<br />
surgery and emergency dentistry while<br />
his work in private practice ensures his<br />
high level of quality general dentistry.<br />
Andrew has a very open approach to<br />
problem solving and is seen as an asset to<br />
the team.<br />
New hygienist, Victoria Ryan, has<br />
replaced Katy Monk who has relocated<br />
to Auckland. Victoria graduated from<br />
University of Otago in 2014 with a<br />
Bachelor of Oral Health. Before joining<br />
our team, Victoria worked as a dental<br />
therapist in Dunedin.<br />
For any concerns, questions or to make<br />
an appointment at St Albans Dental<br />
Centre please call (03) 355 9380 and they<br />
will be happy to help with any dental<br />
health enquiry.<br />

Broken-hearted to leave<br />
21 Highpeak Place, Halswell<br />
Auction: June 9, <strong>2016</strong> (unless sold prior)<br />
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 2 living rooms |1 dining room | 2-car garage | 3 off-street parks | Listing #: BE192595<br />
But it is time to make a change and<br />
leave this spacious happy home<br />
of many years. You won’t want to<br />
miss out on this opportunity in the<br />
boutique subdivision of Broken Run. The<br />
cul-de-sac location is desirably tranquil, and<br />
this immaculately presented home will be a<br />
delight to view.<br />
Step into the entrance way and then onto<br />
the large well-appointed kitchen with quality<br />
Smeg appliances and large oven. The dining<br />
and family room are very spacious and have<br />
vaulted ceilings. The separate formal lounge<br />
with a cosy gas fire and family room have<br />
bifold doors that open onto the manicured<br />
garden, a wonderful prospect for summer<br />
entertaining. The master bedroom also opens<br />
as well to the garden - perhaps time for a<br />
coffee and croissant in the morning before the<br />
day begins? The ensuite is unusually large, a<br />
rare find in modern homes, and the family<br />
bathroom certainly does not lack in size as<br />
well. Two further double bedrooms and a<br />
large single will safely house the family and<br />
guests.<br />
The home is double glazed, fully insulated,<br />
has two heat pumps, a gas fire and under floor<br />
heating in the tiled kitchen and bathrooms.<br />
A larger than normal double garage with<br />
trailer door to the backyard completes the<br />
deal in this very spacious home.<br />
Don’t delay; this lovely home must be sold<br />
on or before auction day to let my vendors<br />
move on to the next stage of their life.<br />
Open Home dates: Saturdays and Sundays<br />
2.30pm to 3pm until auction, or to arrange a<br />
private viewing of this property call Debbie<br />
Pettigrew now on 337 1<strong>31</strong>6 or 027 777 0411<br />
