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

thefts died down around

CHOCOLATE CHEWED OVER AT COUNCIL
A HEATED discussion was quelled
at a city council meeting last week
when a councillor was told to “eat a

During last week’s meeting, city

that fellow councillor Glenn
Livingstone should have a snack
during passionate discussions
over a deputation presented to the
city council.

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

worked with city council staff to
create a concept design, which is
now ready for feedback from the
wider community,” he said.

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

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

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

parking permits a

RUNNING FOR COUNCIL
Shirley-Papanui Community
Board chairman Mike Davidson
will run for a seat on the city
council this year. He has decided
to run in the Papanui Ward.
Mr Davidson said he believed
the best way to add value to his
community is by committing
full time as a councillor. Fellow
board member and current
city councillor, Pauline Cotter,
was nominated by the People’s
Choice, a Labour aligned group,
to run for a seat in the Innes
Ward. They join board deupty
chairman Aaron Keown in the
race for a city council seat. Mr
Keown will be running in the
Harewood Ward.
SMOKE ALARMS
INSTALLED
Housing New Zealand homes
in Papanui have been fitted
with new photoelectric smoke
alarms. Since February, 633
homes have had the new alarms
installed. When the smoke
particles entering the chamber
changes, the amount of light
that reaches the sensor also
changes. The alarm sounds
when the smoke density reaches
a preset level.
WORK STARTING
Residents of Claridges Rd and
Grampian St in Casebrook
will have SCIRT teams in their
neighbourhood for about eight
weeks from today for repairs
to the wastewater system. In
Grampian St and in Claridges
Rd, sections of earthquakedamage
wastewater mains
are being replaced which will
require trenching of parts of the
street. A section of Grampian
St will be closed and detours
signalled.
STUDENT AND STAFF ART
SHOW
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School
students and staff will be
exhibiting Thinking in Print in
the Selwyn Art Gallery from
June 3. Some of these works
are part of NCEA visual arts
portfolios, where the assessment
is based on developing and
extending ideas. The focus in
the school’s art department
is on developing independent
thinking. The gallery will be
open daily, except Mondays,
from 10am to 4pm for the
duration of this exhibition.

Choir’s heartfelt tribute
• By Tom Doudney
A TIGHT-KNIT choir
group have recorded a
song for the funeral of
a terminally ill former
member now living in the
Netherlands.
Women in Harmony
recorded East Timorese
hymn Ita Hotu Maromak
Nia Povo We Are God’s
People at the request of
Dorien Pel who is dying
of cancer.
Ms Pel was a long time
member of the choir up
until about six years ago
when she first developed
cancer.
When her house was
damaged in the September
2010 earthquake,
she moved back to her
country of birth, the
Netherlands, for what
was supposed to be six
months. But the stay ended up
becoming permanent.
In spite of surgery, the
cancer had returned and Ms
Pel was already planning her
funeral in the Netherlands when
she returned to Christchurch for
a visit in December and January.
Choir member Judi Smitheram
said choir members had met Ms
Pel at a social gathering and sang
together again.
HARMONY: Choir member Dorien Pel, standing with red scarf, fifth
from left, with the choir in 2007.
“Dorien was wonderful at
always bringing poetry to our
gatherings and she had written
a poem especially for us,” Ms
Smitheram said.
It was during this visit that Ms
Pel asked if they would record
the song, which the choir had
not performed in more than
eight years.
The choir sourced a recording
of the song from Australia’s Radio
National station to help them
go over it and get the pronunciation
right, as the words are in the
Tetum language.
After recording it, they sent it
to Ms Pel.
“We got a lovely note back
from Dorien saying how much
she appreciated it and she was
very moved,” Ms Smitheram
said.
Women in Harmony has
about 20 members from around
Christchurch.
Charity that helps
most vulnerable
falls on tough times
• By Tom Doudney
A LOCAL trust which acts as a
problem solver for vulnerable,
disadvantaged and struggling
people around New Zealand
said it is in urgent need of
funding.
SigJaws Trust helps people in
a variety of ways, from lobbying
for retention of services,
suggesting changes to
legislation, finding work
and housing and promoting
innovations.
However, project manager
Gary Watts (right),
who founded SigJaws
in 2001, said the trust
had been struggling financially
for some time and needed more
funding to carry on.
The trust’s operating expenses
were “conservatively” about
$207,000 a year and while it had
enough to carry on over the next
six months, finding new funding
was a big challenge.
“We have got over 200
clients now that we are
dealing with on a day-to-day basis
and a lot of these people have
slipped through other systems
NOR’WEST NEWS
big-time,” Mr Watts said.
One of its recent projects has
included working with Canterbury
University to develop a
robotic arm which would allow
mobility-impaired drivers to fill
up at petrol stations without leaving
the car.
The trust had received funding
from organisations including the
Ministry of Social Development,
the Rotary Club of
Christchurch and The Lion
Foundation within the last
year.
However, it had been
unsuccessful in seeking
funding from the Red
Cross, the Canterbury Community
Trust and the city council.
“If our funding dries up it’s just
impossible to carry on,” Mr Watts
said.
SigJaws Trust board member
Jamie Hoffman, who has cerebral
palsy said Mr Watts had been
pivotal in helping him find suitable
accommodation after the
earthquakes.
“People just don’t realise how
much good he does out there,”
Mr Hoffman said.

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

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

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

NOR’WEST NEWS Tuesday May 31 2016 9
I was so shocked to read as
much.
“And the issue is not with
prostitution itself, it is the noise,
damage and rubbish that is left
behind in a residential area” (Ali
Jones). Again are you saying
this is fine for city dwellers
but not suburbanites? Gosh,
the discrimination is mind
blowing…
I don’t like the activity
happening on our street. Like
Matt Bonis (of St Albans) said,
we have found needles, our
neighbours have had things
stolen and our neighbours have
been woken up in the middle of
the night to find people having
sex on their property. That’s not
okay. But hang on, if it’s not okay
for you, it’s not okay for us.
I don’t know how to tackle this
problem – it’s not easy. I don’t
have the answers but I believe sex
workers need to be supported.
Ideally they would operate
indoors somewhere.
Just moving them onto another
area doesn’t help – it just makes
it worse for us as the numbers
in the centre will increase. We
should tackle the issue together,
as a city and not just have the
rich areas trying to offload it into
less well off areas.
“If we can get them to move
back into the city centre it will
make both parties happier.”
Both parties? The only ones
who will be happier are the St
Albans residents. Not the sex
workers and not the areas you
conveniently “relocate” them
to. It’s very much a win-loose
scenario. Let’s look for a better
outcome.
City councillor Ali Jones
responds:
Thanks for taking the time to
write. I totally agree with you
regarding “something needs to be
done urgently – to help them and
not just shove them around.”
Pauline Cotter, police, myself,
city council staff, the prostitutes
collective and several social
support agencies have been
trying to find a resolution for
almost three years, with work
also having gone on before Cr
Cotter and I were elected in
October 2013.
I am advised that the problem
is the poor prostitute reform act
legislation that was put in place
by Tim Barnett.
In spite of assertions by
the Labour and National
Governments, local councils
cannot put a bylaw in place
because the legislation does not
provide us with a strong enough
foundation from which to draft
a bylaw.
We need to be confident
that it can be enforced and be
successfully defended in court.
The cameras are achieving
what no one has been able to,
to date and that is one, deter
activity that has made people’s
lives a misery for years, and two,
capture breaches of the summary
offences act that would otherwise
be missed to support any legal
action that could be taken.
I agree that we do not want
to shift the problem into your
backyard Mae and I would
encourage you to contact your
Christchurch Central MP
Nicky Wagner to implore her to
champion a change in the PRA
legislation, something I know
she has tried already but in my
opinion needs to be strongly
promoted again.
Then the city council as a
local authority may have the
foundation upon which to draft
enabling us to enforce controls
on where street prostitution can
take place.
If you have any ideas in the
meantime, I’d love to hear them
so please feel free to get in touch.
We asked readers if they
thought Bishopdale should
have a direct bus line into
the city centre. A reader
responds:
Una Atkins, Bishopdale –
Living in Bishopdale, yes, buses
go via Bishopdale but there is
nothing direct into the city.
Being a low-socio economic area,
a lot of people rely on the buses
and it is quite frustrating having
to walk either to Wairakei Rd or
Harewood Rd.
Not a lot of people have that
pleasure if in ill health.
The petition taken by the
Bishopdale Community Centre
was proof of this.
However, I agree with Ms
Smith that ECan had made up
its mind before the petition was
started.
I know that residents of
Bishopdale area rely on taxi’s.
This is an expense in its own
right and therefore a lot of the
elderly are housebound.
If a bus zig-zagged itself
around the “outer” roads such as
Breens Rd, Kilburn Stand wound
round various other roads, as
before, a lot more people would
get out and about and enjoy the
city.
Good Luck to Ms Smith, I wish
her well, but from the past, I
doubt whether ECan will change
it’s mind.
All city residents of
Christchurch should have access
to decent routes into the city so
they can go and explore the city
or visit health establishments
which are out of reach unless in
an expensive taxi.
Even if a bus left every hour
from the Bishopdale Shopping
Centre, that would improve
things.
Do it ECan!

Architects honoured for designs
FIVE BUILDINGS in
the north-west have been
honoured in this years
Canterbury Architecture
Awards held on Thursday.
The awards, announced
at an event at Hagley Oval
Pavilion, are part of the peerreviewed
awards programme
conducted by the New Zealand
Institute of Architects.
The design by Dalman
Architecture of Acland House
on Papanui Rd, a Christchurch
Girls’ High School boarding
hostel, was one of two winners
in the Heritage category.
Athfield Architects picked
up two awards for its design
of Rugby Park’s new offices
and high performance facility
in the commercial architecture
category and for St Margaret’s

days of judging.
“Five years on from the
’quakes, these awards provide
us with a way to survey the
profession, to see how we are
responding to the challenges,”
Mr Chippindale said.
Impressed with the overall
quality of work, Chippindale
also said now is the time for
greater aspiration to be applied
to the form of the developing
city.

Ruth Gardner
Community volunteer’s work
Ruth Gardner worked
as Volunteering
Canterbury’s
manager for more
than 20 years
until she retired
last month. Fraser
Walker-Pearce
talks to her about
voluntary work after
the earthquakes,
running the
show at wedding
ceremonies, and
living with the town

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

recognised but not finished
Oh that’s good then. What do
you do in your spare time now?
I still actually do a bit of voluntary
work, I chair the residents
committee in the Avon Loop,
and that’s with a lovely bunch of
people too. At the moment we’re
working hard to rebuild a local
community centre. There’s seven
on that committee, and others
help around the place. I’ve been
involved for quite a long time. But
since the earthquake the need has
become different for a lot of communities.
We also have a community
cottage that we maintain and
rent out.
With Volunteering Canterbury
did your role change after
the earthquake to more of an
emergency recovery mode?
Yes it did, in fact we had to put
some of our policies to the side
after earthquake. Because there
were urgent things that had to
happen right away, and a lot of
informal volunteering took place.
It was also a bit difficult in terms
of health and safety with people
going around those dangerous
chimneys.
Are you from Christchurch?
I’ve been here for 30 years
and I was also brought up here,
so I’ve spent more than half
my life here, but I was born in
Auckland. I went to St Albans
Primary School, and then
back to Auckland when I was
about 10, and lived there for 20
something years, but now I love
Christchurch and I wouldn’t
leave.
Oh that’s good to hear! What
high school did you go to?
Epsom Grammar in Auckland.
I don’t have a degree but I did
feminist studies at Canterbury
University and a bit of study at
the polytechnic. And I’m actually
a celebrant too, with the certificate
and everything.
Wow, you’re qualified all over
the show.
Well, when you’re in the voluntary
sector you never know what
will come in handy, and what
different skills are useful.
And now that you’ve retired
from Volunteering Canterbury,

do you plan to do a bit more

Oh yes, absolutely. Now that
I’m retired I’m hoping to do more
celebrants work.
Do you know how many weddings
you’ve done?
Oh, I really don’t know. I’d say
about 100 weddings, but a lot
fewer since the earthquakes. But
I’m hoping now to have more
time to do more weddings. I’m
also a keen blogger, I write about
anything that’s going on around

for 10 years, and I have more than
1000 followers, which has taken a
long time. But that’s on realruth.

Very good, I definitely will.
What are some other hobbies?

And are you married with kids?
Yes, I’m married and two adult

Both near London, one is a

They’ve done very well, yes.
And does your husband work
still?
Yes, he does – he’s actually the

interesting conversations for sure.
He’s originally from England, but
he’s been doing that for about 26
years. He started five years before
me, to the day. He’s very keen to
keep doing that.

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

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

Broken-hearted to leave
21 Highpeak Place, Halswell
Auction: June 9, 2016 (unless sold prior)
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 2 living rooms |1 dining room | 2-car garage | 3 off-street parks | Listing #: BE192595
But it is time to make a change and
leave this spacious happy home
of many years. You won’t want to
miss out on this opportunity in the
boutique subdivision of Broken Run. The
cul-de-sac location is desirably tranquil, and
this immaculately presented home will be a
delight to view.
Step into the entrance way and then onto
the large well-appointed kitchen with quality
Smeg appliances and large oven. The dining
and family room are very spacious and have
vaulted ceilings. The separate formal lounge
with a cosy gas fire and family room have
bifold doors that open onto the manicured
garden, a wonderful prospect for summer
entertaining. The master bedroom also opens
as well to the garden - perhaps time for a
coffee and croissant in the morning before the
day begins? The ensuite is unusually large, a
rare find in modern homes, and the family
bathroom certainly does not lack in size as
well. Two further double bedrooms and a
large single will safely house the family and
guests.
The home is double glazed, fully insulated,
has two heat pumps, a gas fire and under floor
heating in the tiled kitchen and bathrooms.
A larger than normal double garage with
trailer door to the backyard completes the
deal in this very spacious home.
Don’t delay; this lovely home must be sold
on or before auction day to let my vendors
move on to the next stage of their life.
Open Home dates: Saturdays and Sundays
2.30pm to 3pm until auction, or to arrange a
private viewing of this property call Debbie
Pettigrew now on 337 1316 or 027 777 0411
or Malcolm Parker on 027 220 7843 from
