vandalism 

THUMBS UP: St Bede’s College student Keane Patrick Harrington got crafty with local 

children during his trip to the Philippines where he helped underprivileged youth. 

Helping out in the Philippines 

• By Julia Evans 

TOUCHING DOWN in the 

Philippines capital, Manila, two 

St Bede’s College students were 

part of a team that went over to 

help poor youth. 

From St Joesph’s Catholic 

Church, the 13-strong team 

included doctors, teachers, an 

engineer, a tradesman, a hairdresser 

and the church priest, 

as well as the two St Bede’s 

teenagers, Keane Patrick Harrington 

and Daniel Kofoed.

VANDALS WITH bolt cutters, 

angle grinders and winches are 

costing ratepayers thousands 

at Lake Roto Kohatu 

reserve. 

Department of 

Conservation rangers 

have had to deal with 

deer fences being cut, 

boulders moved and 

there have even been 

wooden posts pulled out 

of the ground with car 

winches. 

Alcohol-fuelled social 

gatherings seem to 

bring the vandals to the 

Harewood reserve, Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community 

David Cartwright 

Board chairman David Cartwright 

said. 

But the real problem is how 

wilful the damage is and the 

lengths these vandals are going to 

create chaos, he said. 

“They’re actively and 

wilfully being vandals. 

They need to front up to 

some of the costs,” he said. 

Costs that are landing 

back on ratepayers. That 

is causing concern for the 

board, which is currently 

waiting for a report back 

from city council staff 

detailing how much it 

costs to cleanup after the 

vandalism.

FROM 

THE 

REPORTER’S 

DESK 

Tuesday April 25 2017 

Inside 

THE VANDALS at Lake Roto 

Kohatu sound like they need 

something else to keep themselves 

busy. 

They’re certainly going to 

extreme lengths to cause nothing 

but damage (see page 1). They 

might like to seek a quieter hobby 

which doesn’t cost ratepayers. 

Maybe they could check out 

page 7 and head to Bookarama at 

Burnside High School this week? 

The Rotary Club of Bishopdale 

Burnside has certainly put a lot of 

time and effort sorting through 

books donated by the community. 

After the vandals have got a 

good read to keep them busy, they 

can head down and watch northwest 

school rugby teams in the 

UC Championship this weekend. 

On page 9, St Bede’s College is 

hungry to redeem itself after last 

year and Christchurch Boys’ High 

School is looking to defend its 

title.

Northlands settle crossing dispute 


A SIGNALISED pedestrian 

crossing had until recently been 

a source of conflict between the 

city council and the owners of 

Northlands Shopping Centre. 

Investment 

company Kiwi 

Property said it 

was concerned 

with the lack of 

communication 

from the city 

Mike 

Davidson 

council over the 

placement of 

the pedestrian 

crossing, proposed for Main 

North Rd between Halliwell Ave 

and Proctor St. 

Expansions to the mall would 

have been unachievable if the 

city council’s plan got the goahead, 

for which it had been 

granted two resource consents. 

But a compromise has now 

been found after meetings 

between city council staff and 

Kiwi Property. 

The Papanui-Innes 

Community Board approved the 

revised scheme at its meeting on 

Friday. 

City council staff and Kiwi 

Property are now working 

together on a design that moves 

the traffic signals slightly 

and allows for future mall 

expansions and a new entrance. 

“The mall is now in full 

agreement. Additional meetings 

answered their queries,” city 

council staff told the board. 

The signals aim to address 

pedestrian safety, which has 

been compromised by the large 

number of unsafe crosses taken 

between bus stops on Main 

North Rd. 

The plan was initially put 

to the former Shirley-Papanui 

Community Board in 2015 

where questions around slowing 

traffic were also raised. 

The signals would be timed 

with the lights on Langdons Rd 

and Halliwell Ave to keep the 

impact to less than five seconds. 

“Pedestrian safety trumps a 

few seconds delay to motorists,” 

city councillor Mike Davidson 

said. 

But he questioned the jump 

in costing. In 2015, the crossing 

SAFE: A new 

pedestrian 

crossing will 

replace this 

traffic island 

outside 

Northlands 

Shopping 

Centre. 

PHOTO: GEOFF 

SLOAN 

was reported to cost $195,000. 

However, that has since jumped 

to more than $450,000. 

“That initial cost only included 

civil costs, it didn’t include the 

traffic signals,” city council staff 

said. 

The plan will be taken to the 

city council for further approval 

in May but construction won’t 

begin until after the busiest 

shopping time of the year – 

Christmas. 

In Brief 

CYCLEWAY UPDATE 

The end is in sight for work on 

the Papanui Parallel cycleway 

along St Albans and Rutland Sts. 

Work has entered its final stage 

on St Albans St which should be 

reopened to two-way traffic by the 

end of the month. Once St Albans 

St is reopened, Rutland St will go 

back to one-way traffic at the start 

of May for up to four weeks. 

SWIM CLUB SUCCESS 

A successful summer for St 

Albans Swim Club has come to a 

close at the Shirley Intermediate 

School pool. The club had 50 

pupils for 10 weeks of lessons 

with four swim teachers. Some 

children opted for twice weekly 

lessons and there were individual 

lessons for children with learning 

difficulties. 

MASTER MUSICIANS 

Former Burnside High School 

student Han Sol Jeong has been 

awarded a scholarship to Juilliard 

School. Currently studying piano 

at Yong Siew Toh Conservatory 

of Music, Jeong will attend a 

summer masterclass at the school 

in New York city. Meanwhile, 

another former Burnside student 

Hamish Smith has been selected 

as the only bassist in the World 

Youth Jazz Orchestra. Smith will 

embark on tour of 12 European 

cities in July.

FLAME FILES 

Flooding could have 

been a lot worse 

• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk 

Management Officer 

THE MOTHER of all storms was 

predicted to hit the country during 

Easter. 

What actually occurred was a 

bit of a fizzer. 

Here in Christchurch there 

were a few people who would 

argue that what they experienced 

was hardly a fizzer but thankfully 

these incidents were relatively 

rare. 

Mainly on Good Friday our 

troops responded to six flooding 

events, one power line down and 

a couple of instances 

where rain water and electrical 

systems were found to be 

incompatible. 

What the bad weather and the 

crisp mornings since did result 

in was the first use of the year of 

heating devices. 

This in turn caused a couple 

of callouts, a log fire smoking 

the house out in Quinns Rd, an 

oil fired home heating system 

refusing to close down and 

a bathroom heater on fire in 

Sumner. 

Those with fireplaces should 

have had the flu or chimney 

swept by now. 

If not please do it, might save

River at full capacity and

red faces or worse in the near 

future. Those who are using heat 

pumps perhaps for the first time 

need to know 21 deg C is accepted 

as the highest comfortable 

setting. 

Anything above that you’ll 

probably get an expensive 

shock when the power bill arrives. 

Hornby Hub got evacuated a 

couple of times this week, the 

first from a reported car fire in 

the rooftop car park that turned 

out to be steam and then an oven 

overheating in the supermarket 

on Easter Monday. 

A real nuisance to management, 

retailers and the public. 

PAPANUI’S PAST 

Land instrumental to social change 

Papanui Heritage Group 

chairman Murray Williams 

looks back at the history 

of a significant piece of 

land 

THE HISTORY of a block of 

land bounded by Harewood 

Rd, Sails St, Hoani St (formerly 

Union St) and Chapel St 

(formerly Myrniong St) has 

much to tell us about the social 

change in Papanui over a period 

of 150 years. 

This area, originally part of 

Rural Section 203, had been purchased 

by John T Matson who 

came to Papanui in 1866. 

He named the property 

Myrniong as a reference to land 

previously owned in Victoria by 

the Matson family. 

After Mr Matson’s death in 

1895, his executor tried but 

failed to sell the property, which 

was described as a “small but 

comfortable” home of eight 

rooms on a site which featured 

“beautiful gardens, an orchard 

and paddocks.” 

A year later the agent highlighted 

the value of the land as 

a potential building site, nearly 

five acres of “high ground with 

four frontages to choose from.” 

By 1914 this block of land, 

now featuring “an almost new 

house of 14 rooms,” was sold to 

the Methodist Church for £2750 

– the new owner intended to 

develop the house and grounds 

as an orphanage. 

Over the next two decades 

more accommodation was 

added but by the early 1930s 

it became obvious that the orphanage 

complex was no longer 

fit for the purpose. 

The church purchased a larger 

site on the other side of Harewood 

Rd where a modern building 

was completed in 1934. 

A major part of the vacated 

block was acquired by the government 

and developed as a 

state housing settlement, some 

of which was available for occupation 

in the late 1930s. 

A later Ministry of Works diagram 

indicates the generous section 

sizes, the footprint of each 

house and the area allocated for 

a reserve as well as private land. 

By the mid-1980s much of the

original area had been acquired 

by the Golden Health Group 

and developed as a retirement 

village, a process which was 

completed only recently when 

the last of the houses was purchased, 

thus enabling the company 

to own the whole block. 

Land that had once been part 

of the extensive property portfolio 

of a local grandee in the 19th 

century has played an important 

part in fulfilling the changing 

social needs of Papanui as its 

use changed successively from a 

church owned and administered 

orphanage to a site for Government 

housing to its current 

corporate ownership providing 

integrated rest home facilities.

VOLUNTEERS HAVE been 

sifting through a mountain of 

donated books for next week’s

Organiser Lindsay Crossen 

said there are so many books, it 

takes at least 30 volunteers to go 

through them all.

Keane, 17, and Daniel, 15, said 

the trip opened their eyes to how 

privileged life in New Zealand 

can be. 

But the real highlight were the 

children they spent time with, 

including boys as young as eightyears-old 

in prison. 

“There was a group in a tiny, 

hot cell that all had chickenpox. 

That was particularly heart breaking,” 

Daniel said. 

After a week in Manila, they 

ventured to the tiny fishing village 

of Santa Cruz, Tacloban, 

which was devastated by Typhoon 

Haiyan in 2013. 

The team helped build a water 

treatment plant and shelter, and 

visited schools where they helped 

run a sports tournament.

However, Mr Cartwright fears 

it will be an “incomprehensible” 

sum. 

“It’s thousands and it could be

Mr Cartwright said the next step 

would be looking at preventative

North-west schools start championship bid 

This weekend will see 

the start of the UC 

Championship with a 

number of north-west 

schools getting their 

campaigns under way. 

Andrew King takes a look at 

the opening round 

St Bede’s College 

After finishing outside the top 

eight in the 2016 season, St Bede’s 

first XV are looking to redeem 

themselves. 

Coach Gerry Davidson said 

while the team is young, there is 

plenty of enthusiasm for the upcoming 

season, which they will 

open with a game against Lincoln 

High. 

“We struggled a bit last year, 

but we have more depth this year 

so that will give us a better shot,” 

he said. 

He said the team is pretty 

much picked for the opener with 

only a couple more spots left. He 

said the majority of the team are 

aged under 17. 

“Last year there were six or 

seven teams that could beat each 

other on the day – it was very 

even, which is good for the competition,” 

Davidson said.

Combined. 

Fresh from a training camp in 

Hamilton at the weekend, and 

having beaten Southland Boys’ 

High School 30-17 last week, the 

team is looking good. 

CBHS rugby co-ordinator and 

assistant coach Rob Smith said 

key players in the CBHS setup 

will be hooker Adam Reid, halfback 

Louie Chapman, fullback 

Ryan Barnes, winger Latham 

Kelly-Foleni and second-five Alex 

Harford. 

Harford was last year’s top 

scorer for CBHS with one try, 47 

conversions and seven penalties. 

He returns to the side as captain. 

Last year’s team topped the 

table in tries scored, with 94, and 

in conversions, with 58. 

Smith said the team will be 

finalised this week before the 

opening game. 

Burnside High School 

Burnside will look to emulate 

their form from last season which 

saw them finish eighth, ahead of 

northern rivals St Bede’s. 

They will open their account 

against St Thomas, which finished 

11th last year. 

The team will have a new 

coach after Murray Henderson 

departed at the end of last season. 

A new coach will be appointed 

during the season, a Burnside 

rugby spokesman said. 

Winning eight from 15 will be 

a tough ask without barnstorming 

centre Mikaele Ravalawa, 

who was snapped up by the 

Canberra Raiders last year. 

Ravalawa scored 14 tries and 

kicked three conversions in the 

2016 season. 

St Andrew’s College 

St Andrew’s will start their 

campaign with a bye before

heading to Timaru to play 

Roncalli College. 

Last season was a mixture for 

St Andrew’s, with seven wins and 

seven losses, putting them 10th 

on the table. 

Head coach Rod MacIntosh 

said while the final team is yet to 

be selected, there is a good mix 

of returning players with some 

youth. 

“We have the philosophy of 

including as many players as possible 

to future proof and create a 

solid second XV,” he said. 

“We want to play hard attacking 

rugby and enjoy every minute 

of it.” 

Midfielder-turned-hooker 

Shilo Klien has been named as 

captain, with MacIntosh saying 

he is one to watch. 

Fullback Llew Johnson was unlucky 

last season due to a broken 

jaw, MacIntosh said. However, he 

is ready to go this season.

Our People 


Richard Rendle 

Retired – but no time for idle hands 

Bishopdale MeNZ Shed 

co-ordinator Richard 

Rendle retired from 

teaching when he was 

50 but by no means has 

he been idle since then. 

He speaks to Julia Evans 

about what keeps him 

busy 

Richard, I hear you’ve got a 

background in teaching? 

Yes, I was a teacher for almost 

30 years. I taught at Christchurch 

Boys’ High School for seven 

of those and at Kaiapoi High 

School for 21 years. I’m a chemistry 

teacher. I began in 1969 

after finishing my degree – I love 

chemistry and loved teaching it 

to the kids. I quit teaching when 

I was 50, when all the NCEA 

stuff come in. I’ve been in early 

retirement since I was 50 but 

you don’t get as much money, 

you know. I’ve been involved in 

writing school textbooks and 

I asked the editor if there was 

any chance on some freelance 

editing and he said yes, I guess 

so, so that’s why I quit teaching. 

But I ended up doing computerdrawn 

artwork for textbooks. 

What is it about the sciences 

that you love so much? 

I think it probably is just how 

my brain works. I’m fascinated 

by stuff – but on a very simple 

level. The sort of stuff you teach 

MUSIC: A man of many 

talents, Richard Rendle also 

plays guitar. 

WORKING WITH WOOD: Richard Rendle and the rest of the Bishopdale MeNZ Shed are 

working on kit-set penguin boxes that will be made up by children at the International Antarctic 

Centre. 

PHOTO: SIMON COOPER 

to secondary school kids. I’ve 

written articles about salt and 

some of the elements recently. 

Sounds to me that you haven’t 

really retired at all. 

One of the things that I did 

after the artwork, we started 

producing exams for schools 

to use as internal practice ones. 

In about 1998 when the new 

prescription came out for year 

13 students, they were screaming 

out for a practice exam and 

someone said to me could we do 

it. I got together a team of exschool 

teachers and there were a 

few women on maternity leave. 

That’s been going since 1998 and 

we now do a year 12, 13 and the 

chemistry scholarship exam. 

Tell me about your family? 

I’ve got a son who’s a lead scientist 

with the Ferrier Research 

Institute at Victoria University. 

A daughter who is in marketing 

at the Nelson Marlborough 

Institute of Technology and the 

youngest who is a stay-at-home 

mum but she’s worked in environmental 

science. My wife has 

an accounting degree but they 

didn’t go that way. 

There must be a love for science 

in your blood. 

I don’t know. I didn’t push 

them. In fact I’ve probably done 

more with kids since they’ve 

grown up and left. I got really 

interested in the science of toys 

and went in with toys to teach 

kids the science behind them. 

What other hobbies do you 

have to keep you busy? 

I’m a gardener, I read and I’m 

a guitarist, I had a rock band for 

a while – we did about six gigs a 

year. We did it for the enjoyment 

and played covers of the great 

rock songs from the 60s and 70s. 

So when did you get into the 

MeNZ Shed – how did it come 

about? 

I’ve always had a workshop 

and I really enjoy working there. 

I’ve been doing a lot of maintenance 

stuff at church. It’s been a 

dream of mine to have some sort 

of workshop for the community. 

I was thinking about young people 

with flats and houses without 

space for a workshop. I was 

down at Mitre 10 in Bishopdale 

and there was a pamphlet for the 

MeNZ Shed and I said yip, this is 

exactly what I want. 

Have you always had a strong 

connection with the community 

or was it just the shed that 

about? 

I was on the school committee 

at Kendal School in the early 

80s and I’ve been involved with 

Canterbury Science teachers – 

But the MeNZ Shed is different 

because it’s completely voluntary. 

Guys come and go and it’s a 

fantastic thing for guys who have 

retired. It’s a win-win situation, 

because we do a lot of community 

work. 

What kind of community 

work? 

We’ve built a lot of planter boxes 

for the council social housing. 

The council provides the timber 

and we build them. We do repairs 

and making stuff for pre-schools, 

kindergartens and Plunkets. Individuals 

come in and say can you 

make this for us and we’ll have 

a look at it. Or just repairing bits 

of furniture that are broken and 

they give us a donation. One of 

the things we don’t want to do is 

we don’t want to take work away 

from tradesmen. 

Do you find it’s a win for the 

community but also win for 

you guys coming together and 

having a bit of fun? 

Oh definitely, we’ve got a 

few, who have worked 40 hours 

a week for 40-plus years and 

someone just gives them a box 

of chocolates and shows them 

the door. For the first two weeks 

it’s fantastic but now what do I 

do? We’ve had people who have 

come and said they’ve retired 

and basically they’re depressed 

and say this is the best thing that 

could have happened. 

What are you working on at 

the moment? 

We make coffins, which started 

through a lady who belongs to 

the coffin club. Her original vision 

was to make coffins for stillborn 

babies. So to pay for that, 

she makes the full-size ones, 

which are sort of pre-ordered. 

Recently, we were approached 

by the Antarctic Centre asking 

us to make kit-sets for penguin 

boxes. The idea is that kids at the 

centre will assemble them and 

they’ll eventually go out on the 

peninsula with DOC rangers. 

We’re also making iPad stands 

for people with low vision. 

You’ve got plenty to keep you 

busy then. 

Well yes, but if I didn’t, I’d 

get bored. I’m a practical guy, I 

don’t sit and philosophise about 

much.

• By Ross Kiddie 

THIRTEEN YEARS ago I 

guided an acquaintance into 

a new car, it was a Subaru 

Impreza and it was a car which 

was priced at $25,000 with 

four-wheel-drive and 2-litre 

engine. 

My friend still has that car 

and it has now travelled faultfree 

over 200,000km, scheduled 

maintenance has been the only 

service cost. I remember writing 

at the time how much of a 

bargain that car was, and if finances 

at the time had allowed, 

I may well have purchased an 

Impreza as well. 

Well, nothing has changed, I 

still can’t afford a new car and 

now Subaru has another new 

Impreza available at a budget 

price. For just $5000 more than 

the new price in 2004, the newgeneration 

model represents 

amazing value, and it is stacked 

with value features, items 

which you wouldn’t ordinarily 

expect in a budget car. 

The new generation model 

gets Eye-sight driver assist 

technology, a camera-based 

system which is linked to adaptive 

cruise control, lane departure 

warning, pre-collision assist 

and pedestrian avoidance. 

Other features for comfort and 

convenience include automatic 

stop-start as a fuel saving measure, 

keyless entry and ignition, 

Apple Car Play and Android 

Auto capability, along with the 

usual features modern cars 

include as a matter of course. 

The new Impreza still has 

the traditional 2-litre, flat-four 

(boxer) engine. It has been 

developed to a point where 

it is state-of-the-art in terms 

of power outputs, emission 

control and fuel efficiency. In 

terms of figures, the quad-camshaft 

unit is rated at 115kW 

and 196Nm, while a 6.6-litre 

per 100km/h (42mpg) combined 

cycle fuel usage average 

is claimed by Subaru. 

Drive is channelled to all 

four wheels through a continuously 

variable automatic 

transmission. Not only does 

the four-wheel-drive system 

alleviate the fear of grip loss 

on loose surfaces, there is a lot 

of natural grip supplied on the 

seal, the Impreza has handling 

ability which is unrealistic for 

this class of car. 

In the first instance, grip 

is supplied by 205/50 x 17in 

Turanza tyres, and even though 

they aren’t Bridgestone’s sport 

specification rubber, the tyres 

have prodigious grip. If you 

add in a flat and controlled 

body balance and drive channelled 

constantly through to all 

wheels, the handling balance is 

biased towards sporty. 

That comes without the 

springs and dampers being 

overly firmed, ride quality is 

still paramount to the Subaru 

way of manufacture. 

Power is directed freely 

through the transmission. In 

this form the Impreza doesn’t 

get the turbocharging system of 

its WRX stablemates, but it is 

an honest, punchy engine. 

In my introduction I mentioned 

the high level of specification. 

Another useful feature 

are the steering wheel-mounted 

paddles which the driver 

can use to initiate ratio changes 

within the CVT system. There’s 

also a sequential system at the 

main gearshift lever itself, but 

as a driver you can be lured 

into a sporty sensation if you 

utilise the paddles. 

However, first and foremost, 

the Impreza caters for the family 

unit. While sedans are fast 

losing popularity, I’m still a bit 

of a fan and I’m quite smitten 

with Subaru product; together 

I’d be sold on the Impreza in 

this form. 

On-board comfort is high 

and space for three rear occupants 

isn’t compromised by 

compact exterior dimensions. 

Subaru’s line-up isn’t extensive, 

but the company is far 

more than a global niche market 

player. All of the models 

offered here are functional and 

practical, each designed for a 

different role. The Impreza is 

there to tempt as an entry level 

car into the brand. 

Just like my friend, those who 

do choose to buy Subaru will 

be rewarded with reliability, 

functionality and a high level 

of safety, much of the latter attributed 

to the stability and grip 

four-wheel-drive offers. 

You’d had better be quick, 

though, from what I’ve heard 

through industry sources the 

Impreza in this form is only 

available in limited numbers 

and is selling fast.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Introducing 

Sukin’s Ultra 

Hydrating 

Body Oil 

Soft, supple, incredibly hydrated skin – in winter? 

It’s totally achievable with our gorgeous Sukin 

Ultra Hydrating Body Oil. 

Lotions just don’t measure up in the 

chillier weather if skin is overly dry and 

needing some extra TLC. Delivering 

intensive daily hydration, our luxurious 

Ultra Hydrating Body Oil contains 

Sunflower, Jojoba, Rosehip, Marula Seed, 

Avocado and Soybean Oils. It glides on 

easily, is quickly absorbed and doesn’t 

leave an oily residue. This natural oil 

blend promotes a radiant appearance 

and can improve the texture of the skin. 

Added Calendula Flower Extract assists 

to soothe and revitalise dehydrated skin. 

This multi-use body oil, formerly 

called Wellbeing Body Oil, is ideal for 

those who prefer oils to creams or who 

need extra hydration and softens skin 

from top to toe. It’s great for massage or 

as a bath oil, post-shaving or waxing and 

as a hand or foot treatment to soothe the 

skin. It can be added into your favourite 

Body Lotion or Cream for an extra 

hydrating boost, but we love adding a 

few drops to the bath, perfect for some 

winter pampering. 

Like all Sukin products, the 

range is free of sulphates, animal 

derivatives, parabens, propylene 

glycol, harsh detergents, mineral oils, 

triethanolamine, synthetic fragrances 

and parabens.

She only started singing a few years 

ago and despite being in her early 

teens, already has a number of awards 

to her credit including NZ Junior 

Entertainer of the Year. She is a multiinstrumentalist 

(5 string banjo, guitar, 

mandolin, and double bass), has 

organised and performed fund-raising 

concerts for Starship Hospital, has 

recently released her first single 

‘Where Were You?’, and appeared at 

numerous festivals and events across 

the country. 

A stellar lineup of artists are rocking 

up to support Molly G at her show 

next week - Allan Barron (MC); 

Academy of Country Music graduate 

Jayden Shingleton; Lanae & Bruce Hill 

(Ashburton duo); with backing by the 

well respected Sha-low band. 

Also making a special appearance will be Joining Forces, 

a Country/Pop fusion duo comprising Molly G and 

Cameron Walsh (Sha-low). 

Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy a stunning line-up of 

great artists while assisting an upcoming Kiwi Counry 

Music star. 

Molly G and friends appear at the HWMC Westview 

Lounge on Friday 28th April, 7pm start. Admission just
