Second 

chance 

possible 

for cycle 

scheme 

• By Julia Evans 

THE CAMPAIGN to get more 

people cycling to Jellie Park Sport 

and Recreation Centre may get a 

second chance. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board was 

given a briefing by city council 

western area operations manager 

Martin McGregor at its meeting 

last Monday. 

Mr McGregor said the trial ran 

smoothly but had only a “small-tomoderate 

uptake” so it wouldn’t be 

continuing. 

But the board disputed that. 

It has requested the incentive be 

trialled again, but this time with a 

more significant incentive, such as 

free pool entry for cyclists. 

The board also said a longer trial 

was necessary, as well as a more 

robust promotion so people are 

more aware of it. 

Board chairman David Cartwright 

said: “One month is great, 

but you need to do it for a minimum 

of six.” 

The second trial round will 

hopefully begin in September and 

run for at least six months.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

GOOD TO see the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board has forced 

a rethink of the city council’s 

decision to abandon the cycle to 

Jellie Park scheme (see page 1). 

Last week we reported the 

incentivised scheme had been 

aborted and would not be 

implemented at other recreation 

centres aorund the city. 

Odd at a time when the city 

council is spending squillions on 

cycleways. 

So full marks to the community 

board for putting its foot 

down with the city council. 

The board has requested there 

be a more significant incentive, 

such as free pool entry for 

cyclists. 

The board also said a longer 

trial was necessary, as well as a 

more robust promotion so people 

are become more aware of it. 

The outcome will be known 

fairly soon. – Barry Clarke

Red light sting helps school 


TWENTY TICKETS were 

given out by police during 

a sting at the intersection of 

Cranford and Berwick Sts in 

a bid to stop red light-runners 

near St Albans School. 

While three tickets were issued 

for cell phone usage, out of 

date road user charges and not 

wearing a seatbelt, the other 17 

were for traffic light offences. 

It comes after Rachel Donaldson, 

a mother from St Albans 

School, launched a campaign 

against red lightrunners 

at the 

intersection. 

Mrs Donaldson 

said 

the amount of 

tickets given out 

Rachel 

Donaldson 

highlighted how 

bad the problem 

really was. 

“There was no 

advanced warning, it just proves 

that this is a daily occurrence,” 

she said. 

Mrs Donaldson said she 

hoped if people knew the intersection 

was regularly targeted 

by police, driver behaviour 

might change. 

She has also put signs at the 

DANGER: Police dished out 20 tickets in one hour of 

monitoring this intersection at Cranford and Berwick Sts. 

intersection of Cranford and 

Berwick Sts which said: “Don’t 

be that driver to kill a child”, 

“Slow down”, and “St Albans 

children matter”. 

But Mrs Donaldson said she 

now wants to keep the pressure 

on the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board to make some 

practical changes. 

Board chairwoman Ali Jones 

raised the issue with police 

and they were patrolling the 

intersection the very next 

morning. 

“Board members Emma 

Norrish and Jo Byrne met with 

a concerned mum who brought 

the issue to our attention and 

I contacted the Papanui police 

straight away,” Ms Jones said. 

The board is now looking 

into getting a barrier to protect 

children standing at the 

intersection. 

“We don’t want to lose the 

momentum we’ve got going,” 

Ms Jones said. 

The board will work with 

police to have regular stings at 

the intersection during peak 

hours and a red light camera in 

the area. 

But the issue isn’t only a 

problem in St Albans. 

Ms Jones recently attended 

a meeting at Shirley Primary 

School with city council staff, 

the school’s deputy principals 

and police to address the same 

issue on Shirley Rd. 

The community board is 

continuing to address the traffic 

issues in its ward – with new 

signage expected in Shirley 

within weeks. 

In Brief 

DANGEROUS DRIVING 

Downer and the city council have 

been made aware of dangerous 

driving at the intersection of 

Guild St and Slater St with reports 

of some drivers ignoring the 

road signs that are in place. The 

changes in traffic are in place 

while the Hills Rd culvert is being 

built. Slater St is blocked and 

there will be no right turn into 

Guild St from Slater St in a bid to 

stop the dangerous driving. 

BOWLING CLUB UPGRADE 

The Fendalton Bowling Club has 

received $3000 to go towards 

upgrading gutters and access 

paths. The club, based in Makora 

St, Fendalton, needs the upgrade 

so it can be a contender to host 

national and international 

events. The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

approved the funding at its last 

meeting. 

SWIM CLUB MONEY 

The St Albans Amateur 

Swimming Life-Saving Club 

Inc has been using the Shirley 

Intermediate School Pool for a 

number of years. It has received 

$2500 of funding from the 

Papanui-Innes Community Board 

to continue to pay for the pool’s 

hire. The club is run entirely by 

volunteers and fees are kept to a 

minimum.

PEDAL: The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board member Bridget 

Williams wants to see more bicycles in these stands. 

Scheme could get second chance 

•From page 1 

One month did not 

measure a trend, Mr Cartwright 

said. 

“We don’t want a dot, we 

need a line across several 

months and then we can 

find out trends,” Mr Cartwright 

said. 

The initial trial in 

February meant if you 

cycled to Jellie Park five 

times, you received free 

pool entry and a bottle 

of water. There were 117 

visits by cyclists in the 

month, which was deemed 

a success by Mr Cartwright 

as well as board member 

and chairwoman of the 

Jellie Park Bike Initiative 

Project committee Bridget 

Williams. 

It was intended the 

scheme would be rolled out 

across all city council sport 

and recreation centres, 

such as Pioneer and Graham 

Condon. 

“We need to think about 

how we publicise it like 

notices in the car park and 

where you lock your bike 

up that says thank you for 

cycling, have you heard 

about our new incentive,” 

Mr Cartwright said. 

Ms Williams said it 

would just take more time 

for the public profile to 

build. 

“I don’t see any harm in 

it continuing, people just 

need a wee bit of a carrot 

. . . good things take time,” 

Ms Williams said. The 

second trial will have to be 

approved by the city council 

before it goes ahead in 

September.

Scheme progress eases flood worries 

RESIDENTS IN the Flockton 

area will sleep easier next time 

they hear rain pelting against 

their roofs. 

Key parts of the Dudley Creek 

flood mitigation scheme have 

now been completed. 

Last week saw the final part of 

the 800m bypass installed that 

will take stormwater from Petrie 

St to the Avon River. 

More than 500 properties 

now have increased flood 

protection to restore Flockton 

and surrounding areas to preearthquake 

levels of flood risk. 

The bypass is one of the 

biggest in the country and has 

been built by laying about 500 

box-shaped concrete pipes 

end-to-end. 

The pipes weigh between four 

and five tonne each and measure 

4m x 2m. 

Most of the time, the bypass 

will be dry. It is only designed 

to be used when there is heavy 

rain and a risk of Dudley Creek 

overflowing. 

“Now, if we have a heavy 

rainfall, we’ll be able to divert 

over 8 cu m of flood water every 

second from Dudley Creek to 

the Avon River,” said city council 

land drainage manager Keith 

Davison. 

“This, combined with all the 

other aspects of the scheme 

we’ve been working on over the 

last few years, means we can now 

reassure hundreds of households 

that their flood risk has been 

significantly reduced.” 

There is still work to be done 

on other aspects of the flood 

remediation scheme, including 

the Hills Rd culvert, Shirley 

Stream widening and road 

renewal in the area. 

“While we are thrilled that

homes 

in the Flockton 

Basin, like those 

in Harrison St, St 

Albans, will benefit 

from the Dudley 

Creek flood 

mitigation scheme. 

PHOTO: GEOFF 

SLOAN 

we’ve met our target deadline to 

significantly reduce flood risk, 

we are very conscious that until 

we’re finished all the works, 

there will still be disruption and 

inconvenience for people in these 

areas,” Mr Davison said. 

New dog park 

an option for 

old gravel pit 


A DOG park or green space could 

replace an empty gravel pit in 

Harewood. 

The 4127 sq m section at 22 

Waimakariri Rd is owned by the 

city council. 

But it no longer serves any practical 

purpose. 

During a review of all surplus 

city council properties, the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board decided the 

gravel pit was worth keeping and 

developing for public use. 

The other option would be to 

dispose of it from city council 

ownership. 

But the board decided the better 

option was to retain it and look at 

turning it from a gravel pit into a 

green space, dog park or similar 

public amenity. 

It would be an asset to that part 

of Harewood, which is particularly 

industrial. 

City council staff are investigating 

the viability of the green space 

ideas and will get the board a 

report within six months. It will 

then make a decision whether to 

go ahead and take that to the city 

council.

Common sense over car parks prevails 


Readers respond to the 

article in the Nor’West 

News regarding the city 

council’s decision to cut 

an incentive programme 

that encourages people 

to cycle to Jellie Park 

Recreation and Sport 

Centre 

Fendalton city councillor 

Jamie Gough writes 

about the common sense 

approach used by his 

community board 

On June 20, Nor’West News 

reported on the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community 

Board’s decision to quash the 

removal of car parks outside the 

Holmwood Rd shops. 

The headline read – Businesses 

influence decision to keep car 

parks. 

That was fair, however, I’d suggest 

the headline could have read 

– Reality influences decision to 

keep car parks. 

The plan and staff recommendation 

was well-intentioned – 

Installation of a pedestrian island 

on Holmwood Rd and minor 

works resulting in the removal of 

six car parks from in front of the 

block of shops. 

Like any decision, there are 

pros and cons. 

In this instance my view, the 

MEETING: (Left to right) – The Cook Shop owner Elizabeth Fry with David Cartwright, Jamie 

Gough and Gerry Brownlee. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

board’s view, and overwhelmingly 

the local community’s 

view, was that the cons would far 

outweigh any pros. 

Gerry Brownlee, as local MP, 

David Cartwright, as community 

board chairman and I met with 

the Holmwood Rd business operators 

who were horrified by the 

proposal. 

No one wants safety compromised, 

however, the “safety 

enhancement” was suggested to 

particularly assist road-crossing 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students. 

This was somewhat baffling, 

given Rangi Ruru is on Rossall St 

– they cross at that street, which 

already has a pedestrian island. 

Further to this, the lifeblood 

of these local businesses is the 

convenient on-street parking, so 

affecting their viability for a solution 

to a non-existent problem 

seemed dubious at best. 

Parking is already atrocious 

here. 

I’d suggest if it went ahead 

you’d be creating an additional, 

yet irrelevant, crossing path to 

a block of vacant shops, as they 

would probably go out of business. 

The local community engaged 

with local democracy and the reality 

of the situation won the day. 

Sometimes major overhauls 

occur to ensure common sense 

prevails but sometimes it’s deciding 

to do nothing that proves to 

be the best decision. 

Jillian Nuth – Our traffic 

is downright dangerous. It’s a 

great idea but with my experience 

as a pedestrian walking 

everywhere, there’s just no way I 

would cycle around this city. 

Anna Henderson – I didn’t 

know about this, would have 

done it. Maybe publicise more? 

Akio Asakura – Idealist 

idiots. People buy cars to be 

comfortable in their own space 

– music, heater etc. Oh, we 

should ride bicycles. No, people 

who want to use trains, buses 

and bicycles will. However, most 

people drive cars. 

Sarah Lashbrooke – I 

never knew about it either unfortunately. 

It sounds great. 

Bronwyn Hendry – Maybe 

the real question is – can people 

who might use the pool afford 

cycles? A bit of demographic 

research may be indicated here. 

Judy Fanning – Who knew? 

Sadly, I missed the promo.



FLAME FILES 

Rescuing animals 

all part of the job 

• By Mark Thomas – specialist fire 

investigator 

I’M NOT sure what got into the 

pets of Halswell last week but 

over just two days our crews 

were called to three animal 

rescues in the suburb. 

First a dog chased a rabbit 

underneath a childcare centre – 

and stayed there. 

It was retrieved. Second, a 

horse was stuck down a bank at 

Kennedy’s Bush. With local help 

and a vet on-site it was winched 

up. 

Finally, an old fashioned catup-a-tree 

event in Arkwright Pl 

shows no record of just what was 

done in the radio message log. 

It might still be there. But I 

doubt it. 

To complete this animal report 

a mama duck from Bromley, 

who is a bit out of season with 

her troop of ducklings, fell into 

a drain only to be rescued by the 

good lads of the Woolston Fire 

Station. 

A bit early in the year you’d 

think. I hope they all survive. 

There were fires of course. 

BICYCLE: Chairwoman of the Jellie Park Bike Initiative Project 

Bridget Williams tried to increase cycling to the centre. 

PHOTO: ANDREW KING 

Tegan Osborne – The amount 

of times myself or my partner 

has nearly been hit because 

drivers aren’t looking where 

they’re pulling out with those 

cycle lanes down St Asaph St 

is crazy. It’s just too dangerous 

because drivers and pedestrians 

aren’t looking for cyclists. I feel 

safer on a road without cycle 

lanes. But people just need to 

watch where they’re going the 

lanes are a good thing because 

it makes things somewhat easy, 

it’s just the idiots who need 

glasses. 

Gavin Simon – Its winter. 

Not a good time to cycle unless 

you are especially dedicated. 

Wait for summer for the cycle 

usage numbers to increase. 

Kylie Mills – I cycle, but it’s 

cold I understand why it’s not 

used a lot yet. 

Readers respond to the 

news a new date has been 

set for the Trafford St, Harewood 

liquor store hearing 

Wendy Somerville – Keep 

up the fight people – it is just so 

unnecessary to have yet another 

corner bottle shop. It would be 

less than 1km along the road 

to a supermarket and a major 

franchised bottle shop, so why 

another one so close. It just 

makes it easier for under age kids 

to access alcohol and lowers the 

tone of the wee group of shops. 

The District Licencing Authority 

needs to listen to what people 

want – which is no. 

Heather Wilkins – New 

Zealand has enough of a problem 

with alcohol and, certainly, we 

do not need any more of these 

stores. Why isn’t the public listened 

to when these applications 

are made, as we are the ones who 

live by them. 

Marina Garthwaite – Too 

many liquor outlets already. No 

need for any more. Alcohol is 

causing so many problems in our 

community already. 

A very elderly lady wielding a 

walking stick actively prevented 

neighbours evacuating her from 

her home in Sockburn after a 

kitchen fire on June 24. 

Consequently, she was treated 

for smoke inhalation at the 

scene. 

Someone in Redwood used a 

toaster as a cigarette lighter by 

lying it on its side on June 23. 

Not too surprisingly the 

toaster caught fire. 

There’s a thousand ways your 

house can catch fire. 

But there are many hundreds 

of thousands of houses. 

Most will never burn. 

A bit of common sense makes 

it much less likely. 

Just how common that common 

sense is, I sometimes 

wonder.

PRISTINE: St Andrew’s has been at the Rangi Ruru site for 30 years. 

School takes ownership 

of historic church 

AN ICONIC wooden chapel is now owned 

by Rangi Ruru Girls’ School. 

Before being purchased by the school, 

St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church was 

owned by the St Andrew’s Presbyterian 

Church Parish and Church Property 

Trust. 

St Andrew’s is a Category 1 heritage 

building and was moved to the school site 

in 1986 thanks to a generous donation 

from a parent. 

It reopened in 1987 after being cut into 

sections and moved from the intersection 

of Tuam St and Oxford Tce. 

The church recently celebrated 30 years 

at the Rangi Ruru site. 

HISTORY: 

The church 

being 

assembled in 

March 1987.

PUPILS FROM Cotswold

College band in quest to 

make rock contest final 


RUN77 – a band made up of 

five aspiring musical talents 

from Christ’s College – has 

won the regional final of the 

Smokefree Rockquest. 

The band consists of two 

brothers – George and Angus 

Murray, as well as Angus 

Mossman, Henry Phelps and 

Robbie Rolleston. 

“We went mental,” said 

guitarist and lead singer, year 

12 student Angus Mossman. 

According to Angus, in spite 

of some “questionable dance 

moves and fist pumps”, their 

many hours rehearsing paid 

off. 

The band practised 

tirelessly in the lead up to the 

regional final. They would 

be at school from 7am every 

day to rehearse, focusing on 

musicianship as well as stage 

presence. 

The national finals are on 

September 2. 

But the national finalists 

won’t be announced until the 

end of July when the judges 

will select eight bands from the 

30 regional winners across the 

country. 

Rock band tutor Nolan 

Hungerford said doing well 

in a band doesn’t happen 

TALENT: Run77’s performance at the Aurora Centre, 

Burnside, won them the regional section of the competition. 

PHOTO: SMOKEFREE ROCKQUEST 

by accident. “Before the boys 

video their original songs on 

Thursday, they will have put 

in 30 or 40 hours work,” Mr 

Hungerford said. 

The boys are currently 

juggling practice with internal 

assessments and two are 

also in the school production – 

Singin’ in the Rain. 

“If you want good results, 

you have to put in the proper 

work,” Mr Hungerford 

said. 

“Being in a band is learning 

about everything from how to 

plug in your guitar, how to hold 

an audience, how to do a gig, 

as well as all the ins and outs of 

the music world.”

Burnside High takes 

on Disney classic 


FOUR MONTHS of preparation 

will come to fruition when 

Burnside High School performs 

its musical production of the 

Disney classic, Beauty and the 

Beast. 

Performances start next 

month but if you drive past the 

school now you might notice 

a container sitting outside the 

Aurora Centre. 

Inside is the secret to the production 

– the original set used in 

the 2006 Showbiz production of 

Beauty and the Beast. 

With a cast of more than 70 

students, head of Arts Faculty 

Gavin Hurley and arts consultant 

Ravil Atlas were mulling over 

which musical to produce this 

year. 

Their thoughts went to the 

talent available and what kind 

of production they could afford 

to do. 

But they’d heard a rumour the 

sets were sitting somewhere in a 

container on a farm in Darfield. 

“We knew we had the perfect 

cast available for Beauty and the 

Beast but we also understood 

that it was a Disney show and 

needed the requisite wow-factor 

of a production,” said Mr Atlas. 

Mr Hurley went to see if the 

rumours were true and after a 

SCHOOLS 

visit to Darfield, the sets were 

indeed discovered sitting in a 

container. 

Arrangements were made to 

get the sets back to the school 

and the costumes were located 

in the North Island, so the show 

was booked and practice began. 

Both the sets and costumes 

were made by Showbiz in 

conjunction with Peter Jackson’s 

WETA Workshop. 

“I saw the National Academy 

of Singing and Dramatic Art use 

them to great effect a few years 

ago in Ashburton and I knew if 

we could get the sets and cos- 

REHEARSAL:

who plays 

Beast. 

tumes we could 

put on a great show,” Mr Atlas 

said. 

The student orchestra will be 

led by Chris Petch, head of the 

music department, with the 

direction falling to Mr Atlas, a 

former Broadway performer, now 

conductor and stage director. 

Beauty and the Beast will be 

held on July 20, 21, 22, 27, and 28 

starting at 7pm. 

Matinees are available on July 

23 and 29 starting 2pm. 

Tickets can be purchased 

through the school reception or 

by phoning 358 8383. 

THUMBS UP: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School’s national chamber 

music semi-finalists. 

Musicians score well 

A TRIO of chamber music 

groups from Rangi Ruru Girls’ 

School have done well in the 

prestigious NZCT National 

Chamber Music Competition. 

Buda and the Pests made up 

of students, Isabella Gregory, 

Jessie Anderson, Valerie Xiang 

and Holly Evans won the South 

Island regional final of the contest 

last Saturday at The Piano in 

Armagh St. 

They, along with other finalists 

The French Connection made 

up of students Sarah Lawrence, 

Rachel McSweeney and Victoria 

Park and Amadeus Emily Davey, 

Lucy Costelloe, Victoria Park, 

Rebecca Harris and Anna Bruce 

have all been selected for the 

national semi-finals. 

Only five groups from 

Christchurch will head to Wellington 

in August for the semifinal 

and finals with three of 

those coming from Rangi Ruru. 

The girls will go up against another 

nine groups from around 

New Zealand that have been 

selected. 

Six will turn to 12 and will 

progress through to the final. 

In addition, Resolutions has 

won a place as one of 24 choirs 

(one of four from Christchurch) 

in the NZCF Big Sing National 

Finale, to be held in Auckland 

from August 24 to 26. 

Director of music at Rangi 

Ruru, Janet Kingsbury, said 

the school continues to punch 

well above its weight in music 

competitions and events around 

the country. 

“With a huge representation 

of 13 girls in the New Zealand 

Secondary Schools’ Symphony 

orchestra, representation in the 

NZSO National Youth Orchestra 

and New Zealand Secondary 

Student’s Choir, internships and 

masterclasses with recognised 

and talented musicians, our music 

scholars continue to proudly 

showcase the quite phenomenal 

skills at Rangi,” she said. 

Wouldn’t you 

rather be in demand 

around the world?

Hello 

Flexible booking hours give families 

greater choice 

For busy working parents with young children, a local childcare centre that offers 

flexibility can make all the difference when they are juggling work schedules and 

caring for their family. That’s where the privately run First Learners centres come 

to the fore. 

Owned and operated by Linda Broekman, 

who trained as a kindergarten teacher and has 

decades of experience across the early learning 

environment, the three First Learners centres 

in Shirley, Mairehau and Rangiora cater for all 

families’ needs. 

“We are very flexible with our booking 

hours,” says Linda. “We don’t have set 

sessions, so parents and caregivers can leave 

their children in our care on any day or days 

and for any length of time that suits them.” 

The centres cater for children from birth 

to six years and are staffed by qualified and 

experienced teachers, with a low child to staff 

ratio. 

“Our philosophy focuses on the needs of 

each individual child, and we cater for their 

differing developmental needs with separate 

sections according to age groups,” Linda 

explains. 

First Learners offers a free play environment 

as well as some structured time according 

to age, ensuring that the children are kept 

engaged, stimulated and challenged while 

at the same time having fun and developing 

their social skills, creativity and confidence. 

The play areas are spacious and well 

equipped, with the children free to access 

both indoor and outdoor areas. By allowing 

them to make choices about where they want 

to be and what activities they want to get 

involved in, the staff encourage the children 

to explore and be curious and creative. 

The centres offer the government subsidised 

20 free hours, and these are “absolutely free, 

with no extra charges”, Linda says. 

And when children are enrolled at any of 

the First Leaners centres, the first four weeks 

are offered free, with certain conditions. 

Details of these can be found on their website, 

www.firstlearners.co.nz. 

Linda and her staff have an open door 

policy, so parents and caregivers are welcome 

to call in at any time to inspect the centres and 

chat about their child’s needs. 

The centres are open Monday to Friday 

from 7am to 6pm (Rangiora 7.15am- 

6pm). For more information visit www. 

firstlearners.co.nz or call Linda on 

(03) 313 1242.

National pride at stake 

for student runner 

SPORTS 

St Bede’s get 

• By Andrew King 

THE PRIDE of running for her 

country will help combat the 

butterflies in her stomach when 

Harriet Bush lines up for her first 

international cross-country race 

in August. 

The St Margaret’s student has 

been selected for the 12-strong 

New Zealand secondary schools 

cross-country team who will 

compete in Hobart from August 

12-14. 

“The sheer excitement of 

representing my country in a 

sport that I am truly passionate 

about fills me with such joy and 

pride,” she said. 

She said the bigger field she will 

be competing in will be daunting 

but exciting. 

“Obviously, I cannot wait 

to get out there and race. The 

international experience I will 

gain from racing the Australians 

will really help me in the future,” 

she said. 

“Also travelling as a team 

creates life-long memories and 

friendships that I will treasure 

forever.” 

She said without the help of her 

coach, she wouldn’t be where she 

is today. 

“I am so thankful for my coach 

Maria Hassan who has helped get 

me into the position I am,” she 

said. 

School director of sport 

Helen Belcher said they are 

“extremely proud” of her success 

and her selection is well deserved. 

“Harriet is currently our school 

cross-country captain and cohead 

of sport,” she said 

“She is a stunning ambassador 

for the school.”

vital win ahead 

of challenging 

UC rounds 


ST BEDE’S College secured just 

their third win of the season 

on Saturday when they beat 

Mid-Canterbury Combined 

38-17 in round 10 of the UC 

Championship. 

They ran in six tries, giving 

them a much-needed win before 

they turn their attention towards 

two competition powerhouses in 

rounds 11 and 12. 

On Saturday, they will head 

south to take on a rampaging 

Timaru Boys’ High who are 

now top of the table after a 90-0 

smashing of cross-town rivals 

Roncalli Combined. 

Then they will have to back up 

against Christchurch Boys’ High 

who, after having a bye in round 

10, have dropped to second position. 

St Bede’s coach Gerry Davidson 

said both games will test the 

skills of his team. 

“Timaru has been going well. 

We have had some excellent 

games over the past 16 years 

with them. They will be tough,” 

he said. 

In between the games will be 

the school holiday break before 

round 12 on July 22. 

“Then we have CBHS who 

are a traditional rival and very 

tough to beat,” Davidson said. 

In other games, St Andrew’s 

moved into fifth position on 

the table after a 40-12 win over 

Waimea Combined. 

They will want to keep up 

their winning ways when they 

take on Burnside on Saturday. 

Burnside will want to get off 

the donut and grab their first 

win of the competition. 

Finally, CBHS will take on 

Rangiora who are feeling good 

after beating St Thomas’ 19-15 

on Saturday.

Burnside in new territory 


BURNSIDE HIGH will defend 

the Connetics Shield tomorrow 

night after winning it for the 

first time last week. 

Cold conditions could not 

dampen the spirits of the team 

dubbed the ‘beasts’ as they celebrated 

their 3-1 win over Lincoln 

High at the Christchurch 

Football Centre, where all league 

games are played this year. 

Coach David Williams said 

the game was played in great 

spirit. “The boys were very 

happy to end up with their 

hands on the shield at the fulltime 

whistle,” he said. 

It is the third time the shield, 

considered the Ranfurly Shield 

of high school football, has 

changed hands this season. 

In an ironic twist, Middleton, 

which held it at the start of the 

season, will have a chance to get 

BURNSIDE HIGH’S Tsubasa 

Nisbet and St Margaret’s 

Charlotte Whittaker have been 

selected in the New Zealand 

under-18 women’s basketball 

squad. 

They have both been included 

in the 12-strong team to compete 

at the under-17 FIBA Oceania 

Championships in Guam from 

Sunday to July 15.

to wear the national colours ever

it back when they play Burnside 

at 5.45pm. 

With the win over Lincoln 

High, Burnside moved into 

fourth position on the table, giving 

them a good shot at qualifying 

for nationals. 

In the other games, St Bede’s 

College found their groove 

beating Christ’s College 6-0. St 

Bede’s now turn their attention 

since she started playing. 

“This will be a great chance 

to see how we compare with the 

other countries in Oceania, especially 

Australia. I am thankful 

for the opportunity and for my 

parents constant support over 

the years,” she said. 

Burnside and Canterbury 

Wildcats coach Lori Ives 

McDaniel said Nisbet’s hard 

work has really paid off. 

“She will be a great addition to 

to Lincoln, who will be hurting 

after the loss to Burnside. That 

game will be played at 7.30pm. 

Top of the table St Andrew’s, 

who have qualified for the national 

tournament in Napier in 

September, will play Rangiora at 

5.45pm. 

Papanui High will look to 

back up their 1-0 victory over 

Rangiora High when they play 

the New Zealand under-18 team, 

not just for her on-court court 

skills, but also for her maturity 

and leadership skills,” she said.

Cashmere High at 4pm tomorrow. 

Cashmere suffered a loss to

after suffering a 3-0 loss to Riccarton

VISIT OUR NEW LOCATION LOCATION 

A HUGE portion of the 

players selected in the 

Crusaders under-18 development 

squad have been picked from 

north-west schools. 

A 55-man team was named on 

Wednesday with 21 of them coming 

from Christchurch Boys’ High, 

St Andrew’s and St Bede’s colleges. 

Eight players were also selected 

in the wider training squad, with 

six of them from north-west 

schools, including one from Burnside 

High. 

St Andrew’s will host the players 

in a training camp from Sunday to 

Wednesday before a squad of 25 is 

selected to travel to Wellington to 

play the under-18 Hurricanes. The 

match will be a curtain-raiser for 

the Hurricanes v Crusaders on July 

15. CBHS have 15 players in the 

squad, as well as another two in the 

wider training side, including last 

minute hero Alex Harford. 

Harford has come off the bench 

in the last two UC Championship 

games for CBHS and kicked the 

winning points late in the game.

• By Sarla Donovan 

A FORMER Papanui High 

School student has landed a 

lucrative three-year swimming 

scholarship in the United 

States. 

After finishing school last 

year, Cassie Wright decided to 

take a gap year to focus on her 

swimming. 

Now she’s off to the 

University of Sioux Falls in 

South Dakota, where she’ll 

have the opportunity to train 

and compete with some of 

the best swimmers in the 

world. 

The 19-year-old backstroke 

specialist found out in mid- 

April and had a week to 

accept. 

After being so focused on 

gaining a scholarship, when it 

came to the crunch, it turned 

out to be a tougher decision 

than she thought. 

“The idea of not seeing my 

family for nine months at a 

time made it hard but I knew 

I’d regret it if I didn’t go.” 

She’ll be starting in semester 

two, on January 2, and is 

hoping her family can come 

over with her to see where 

she’ll be living for the next 

three years. 

“It would be a lot easier if 

they went to see exactly where 

I am. It looks cool; they have 

a big waterfall in the middle 

of town. It’s a bit bigger than 

Christchurch but they get all 

seasons (like us).” 

Swim training will ramp 

up from the normal 14 

hours she does each week 

with the QE II Swim School, 

which has trained out of the 

Christ’s College pool since the 

earthquakes. 

“I’m looking forward to 

training at higher levels. The 

SPORTS 

United States have so many 

great swimmers, people like 

Michael Phelps. It’s just insane 

how much faster they are. It’ll 

give me the opportunity to 

train and compete at a much 

higher level because they 

take swimming much more 

seriously; it’s huge over there.” 

The scholarship will pay for 

tuition, accommodation and 

food, but there’s other costs

will head off to

like travel and insurance, 

which her parents will need to 

help out with. 

Her mother Janette Wright, 

an administrator with the 

QE II Swim School, said she 

was in the process of working 

everything out at the 

moment, including the 

logistics of travelling over 

with her daughter to settle her 

in.

Home, Sea & Between 

JoSH BaSHford 

The imagery in Josh Bashford’s new body of work was inspired by last summer’s 

early morning and late evening fishing adventures. Adventures such as heading 

40km offshore to fish for Groper off Banks Peninsula, or ducking down to 

Birdlings Flat for a relaxing evening surf casting on the beach, fishing the Rakaia 

River or Hurunui river mouth early morning for the elusive Chinook salmon. 

These places are of great significance for Josh Bashford. They provide him with 

not only a harvest of fresh kai for friends and family, but also the visual material 

for his art making. 

This visual material is sometimes captured on 

a GoPro camera, but more often it’s caught by 

simply being physically present in these very 

special places. It’s the way a bird may move 

through the air, a sudden glimpse of a fish 

breaching, or the excitement of hundreds of birds 

and kahawai chasing after small bait fish along 

the beach. All this strong imagery settles itself 

in Josh’s mind and has allowed him to produce 

this new body of limited edition woodcut prints 

on canvas. 

Josh’s latest exhibition named ‘Home, Sea & 

Between’ takes place at Little River Gallery from 

July 8th until August 2nd.

Supporting your bowel and digestive 

function helps prevent disease 

It is most important to keep the 

whole digestive and elimination 

systems of the body working efficiently. 

Otherwise toxins that have not been 

eliminated set the stage for disease. 

Many diseases have been linked with 

micro-organisms (virus) or a bacterial 

component. Generally these microorganisms 

or bacteria can only survive 

due to the fact that the environment 

they are in is suitable for their survival. 

Non eliminated toxins are probably 

one of the main causative factors for 

their survival. We know that when the 

digestive system and bowel function 

are poor we have many more health 

problems. These include arthritis, digestive 

problems like reflux and stomach pain, 

bladder infections, chronic skin conditions 

such as eczema, psoriasis and rashes, poor 

eyesight, pain and inflammation, tumors 

and a weakened immune system just to 

name a few. 

Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a 

highly effective blend of natural herbs to 

support the whole digestive system and it 

is especially effective at cleansing the lower 

bowel and intestinal tract. It is commonly 

used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea, 

digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds 

and influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout, 

skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, 

urinary infections, liver dysfunction, 

Candida, weakened immune function and 

for people who want to keep their health as 

good as possible. 

The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the 

production of digestive fluids and bile 

for efficient digestion. This alone may 

help prevent many diseases as a properly 

working digestive system will itself 

neutralise many disease causing organisms 

before they have a chance to cause any 

problems. LBS II also stimulates peristaltic 

action of the colon effectively cleansing 

the colon of any accumulated build-ups of 

waste material. It also relaxes abdominal 

cramping and spasms, enhances liver 

function, purifies the blood, neutralizes 

acidic conditions, helps destroy intestinal 

parasites and worms, and fights infection. 

Keeping your digestive system and 

bowels functioning efficiently is definitely 

an important step in obtaining and 

maintaining good long term health.

Osteoporosis is a serious condition 

...but research shows it can be reversed! 

Osteoporosis is not taken as a serious 

condition by most people! Most people 

don’t realise they have osteoporosis until 

a fracture happens, as there are usually 

no signs or symptoms. Fractures can 

commonly be debilitating with chronic 

pain and can lead to early mortality. 

Fractures kill more women than all 

gynaecological cancers put together and 

one in six women taken to hospital with 

a hip fracture, will not come out alive and 

men fare even worse. Around one in three 

women and one in twelve men are affected 

with osteoporosis. 

The most common osteoporotic fractures 

are of the wrist, spine, shoulder and hip. 

Vertebral collapse is a compression fracture 

and causes back pain often with shooting 

pains due to compression of the nerves. 

Multiple vertebral fractures lead to a 

stooped posture, loss of height and chronic 

pain with reduced mobility. Hip fractures, 

in particular, usually require prompt 

surgery, as there is a serious risk associated 

with it of deep vein thrombosis and 

pulmonary embolism leading to increased 

mortality. 

Osteoporosis literally means “bones with 

holes”. It occurs when bones lose minerals 

such as calcium more quickly than the 

body can replace them. Although calcium 

is essential for bone health other minerals 

like magnesium, zinc and trace minerals 

like silica, boron, manganese, copper are 

essential also. Vitamin’s D3 and K2 have 

been shown to be essential in a bone 

support program. 

A less well known mineral strontium, 

that is naturally found in your bones 

has been researched and found in 

four landmark studies to actually 

reverse bone loss when sufficient other 

nutrients are present. One study of 1,649 

postmenopausal women with osteoporosis 

who had had at least one fracture were 

divided into two groups. Both groups 

took vitamin D and calcium supplements. 

One group were also given 680mg/day 

of strontium. After the three year study 

the strontium group showed an unheard 

of average bone growth of 8.1%. This 

study shows that osteoporosis can not 

only be halted but may even be reversed 

and without the side effects of common 

osteoporosis drugs. 

Further information on how to 

support your bone density and overall 

health is available from the natural 

health specialists at Marshall’s Health 

& Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, 

New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are 

Always Happy to Help! 

BREAKTHROUGH AGAINST OSTEOPOROSIS 

Osteoporosis, the weakening of the bone is a serious health threat 

that often leads to severe pain, fractures & early mortality. Research 

has found the bones can be re-mineralised & strengthened when 

the required nutrients are present. Minerals calcium, magnesium & 

vitamins D3 & K2 are essential but are not enough in many cases. 

A missing link appears to be the mineral strontium. 

Research shows strontium to positively affect bone density. 

- Supports strong healthy bones, teeth & nails 

- Is a naturally occurring mineral often lacking in the 

modern diet 

- Found in healthy bones & teeth but lacking in people 

with osteoporosis

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the right heat 

pump for your home 

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, 

most homes include at least one heat pump, 

if not a whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more 

convenient than a log burner as you just need 

to press a button. But how do you decide 

what is best? Choosing the right sized heat 

pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort 

levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore 

important to get professional advice from heat 

pump experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it 

is important to select the correct size for your 

requirements that will handle the job but not 

be unnecessarily overpowered. 

Secondly, the location of your heat pump 

is also extremely important. The cheapest 

installation is a back to back where the outdoor 

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor 

unit however this is not necessarily always 

the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands 

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of 

systems and price, so it depends on your 

application as to which will be most suitable. 

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, 

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are 

all reliable brands backed up by good technical 

after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but 

also validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the 

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi 

capabilities. 

Heating is a major investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the right advice. 

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply, 

installation and servicing of all major brands 

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers 

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as 

to which system will suit your application 

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no 

obligation quote and will come to your home

The facts about 

home ventilation 

Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure 

Under the New Zealand Building Code, 

all buildings, including residential, need to 

be suitably ventilated, either with opening 

windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 

states: “The objective of this provision is 

to safeguard people from illness or loss of 

amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are 

many benefits to forced, or mechanical, 

ventilation over opening windows, including 

warmth, security, reduction of outside noises 

and reduction of condensation. 

Traditional domestic ventilation systems 

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from 

outside via the roof space and force the stale air 

out through gaps around windows and doors. 

The incoming air from these 

systems has to be heated or 

cooled to keep the house warm 

in winter or cool in summer. 

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is 

a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It 

extracts air from the house and 

at the same time brings in fresh 

air. These two streams of air 

pass through a heat exchanger, 

which warms incoming air in 

winter and cools in summer if 

air conditioning is being used. 

This means that up to 80% of 

the energy which would be 

wasted using a traditional positive pressure 

system is recovered, resulting in significant 

energy savings and therefore lower heating or 

cooling costs. 

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation 

systems have been considerably more 

expensive than traditional positive pressure 

systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique 

manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 

balanced pressure system can be installed for 

a similar price as a traditional positive pressure 

system.

Trees and Power Lines 

The responsibilities of tree owners and Orion under the 

Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003 

Orion New Zealand owns and operates the electricity distribution network in central 

Canterbury between the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers and from the Canterbury coast 

to Arthur’s Pass. Trees touching power lines account for 10-20% of all unplanned power 

outages on our network. If you see a tree touching a power line, or any other hazardous 

tree condition, please contact us immediately on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898. 

This advertisement provides a general notice of the Electricity (Hazards from Trees) 

Regulations 2003 and the dangers of trees near power lines. More detail on these issues 

can be found on our website www.oriongroup.co.nz or by phoning us on 03 363 9898. 

The Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003 

The regulations set out the responsibilities of electricity line companies and tree owners. 

The purpose of the regulations is to protect the safety of the public and help to ensure a 

secure supply of electricity. The regulations: 

• define safe separation distances between trees and power lines 

• specifies who is responsible for ensuring clearances are maintained 

• places potential liability on the tree owner if any damage or accident occurs due to 

trees touching power lines. (Note that the word “trees” includes all types of vegetation, 

including shrubs, hedges and climbing vines.) 

What are the dangers? 

Trees near power lines need to be trimmed or removed for the following reasons: 

• children like to climb trees and when trees are close to power lines there is a risk of 

serious injury or death 

• in severe weather conditions, vegetation can become electrically “live” and may 

electrocute anyone or anything that touches it 

• while a tree may not touch a power line in fine weather, branches can bend or break in 

wind or snow storms, causing serious damage and possibly prolonged power outages 

• in dry conditions, electrical sparking caused by branches or windblown debris on lines 

may cause fires. 

Minimum distances required between trees and power lines 

The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees and power lines, defined in 

the regulations, are outlined in the diagram to the right. A common sense approach, by tree 

owners trimming trees early, will generally prevent trees touching power lines. 

To maintain a safe distance from power lines some trees require cutting or trimming 

more frequently than other trees, but if it is determined that cutting or trimming cannot 

satisfactorily meet the requirement then removing the tree is recommended. Other 

situations may require trees to be felled because they are at a distance that is considered 

to be a hazard due to falling during storms or being diseased. 

Orion’s tree management programme 

Orion’s tree management programme is largely governed by the Electricity (Hazards from 

Trees) Regulations 2003. Our programme involves education, monitoring and the cut/trim 

or removal of trees that threaten to come into contact with power lines. Through this 

programme we work with tree owners to minimise the risk of their trees touching power lines. 

We currently undertake periodic cutting or trimming of vegetation within the notice zone. 

The intent of this cutting or trimming is to support safety and reduce the risk of power 

outages. This periodic cutting or trimming by us does not remove the tree owner’s 

responsibilities and in the case of fast growing species may not be sufficient to ensure 

that trees remain outside of the growth limit zone. You will be notified prior to any periodic 

trimming being carried out and the work will be completed by arborists carrying Orion 

identification. 

If Orion becomes aware of a tree which is within the ‘Notice zone’ (see Tree “A” in the diagram 

below) then we are required to issue the tree owner with a Hazard Warning notice. For trees 

within the ‘Growth limit zone’ (see Tree “B” in the diagram below) we are required to issue the 

tree owner with a Cut or Trim notice. 

What is a hazard warning notice? 

If a tree is within the “Notice zone” (see Tree “A” in the diagram), we are required to issue a 

hazard warning notice to the tree owner. 

Tree “A” 

Notice

Tree “B” 

Power line Notice zone Growth limit zone 

66kV (high voltage) 5.0 metres 4.0 metres 



400V/230V (low voltage) 1.5 metres 0.5 metres 

Note: 

V = Volts; kV = kilo Volts ie 1,000 Volts 

1) These distances are from the power line, not the power pole 

2) These distances are a minimum and apply in all conditions including high wind or snow 

3) In most instances the power lines that go to a house or building are low voltage power 

lines. Power lines that go down a street may be low or high voltage. 

Trimming trees near power lines 

Trimming trees near power lines can be extremely hazardous and the dangers should not 

be underestimated. Contact with a power line can cause: 

• injury or death to yourself, family or passers by 

• injury or death to livestock 

• damage to property and other trees 

• damage to electrical appliances 

• damage to power supply facilities 

• damage to third parties. 

We recognise that the public is not always experienced in tree trimming, so we are happy 

to advise you on this. We can arrange for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your 

cost. If, however, you prefer to arrange your own tree trimming, we recommend you hire 

professionals with the necessary expertise and safety procedures to competently carry out 

this work. 

If you or someone working for you intends to work within 4 metres of power lines, a close 

approach consent is required from Orion before you start. As a tree owner you may be liable 

for any damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees. 

A hazard warning notice alerts the tree owner that the tree has encroached the notice zone 

and that if it encroaches the “Growth limit zone” (see Tree “B” in the diagram) a cut or trim 

notice may be immediately given to the tree owner (see above). 

The growth limit zone is the area around a power line which trees must not encroach even 

in windy or snow conditions. The notice zone is a distance one metre beyond the growth 

limit zone. 

What is a cut or trim notice? 

If we become aware that a tree has encroached on the “Growth limit zone”, we will give 

notice in writing to the tree owner that the tree must be cut or timed to maintain the 

distances prescribed in the regulations, and the timeframes for action. 

If no action is taken Orion may then trim the tree and seek to recover costs. 

Who pays for the cut or trim? 

Orion is responsible for the first cut of trees near power lines, where the first cut is on a 

property basis, not owner basis. We have already met this obligation by completing a first cut 

of vegetation on all our lines. 

The tree owner will need to organise and pay for any subsequent and future cuts or trims. 

We are happy to provide tree owners with a list of approved arborists who can carry out this 

work, and also advise the best solution given the circumstances. 

What fines can be imposed? 

A tree owner commits an offence where a cut or trim notice is given, and without reasonable 

excuse, the tree owner fails to have the tree cut or trimmed and/or fails to advise us of the 

time and location of the cut or trim. 

A person who commits such an offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine not 

exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, that person is also liable for a further fine of 

not more than $500 for every day or part day during which the offence continues. 

Contact us if in any doubt about your tree 

We aim to work with tree owners to ensure safety is maintained and power outages are 

minimised. We will actively work with tree owners to see trees are trimmed or cut before 

regulatory powers are applied. However, as we wish to ensure the safety and security of the 

public, we will use the regulations where necessary. 

Please contact us or an approved Orion tree trimming contractor to help with your trees, 

or to discuss your options.
