Second<br />
chance<br />
possible<br />
for cycle<br />
scheme<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE CAMPAIGN to get more<br />
people cycling to Jellie Park Sport<br />
and Recreation Centre may get a<br />
second chance.<br />
The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board was<br />
given a briefing by city council<br />
western area operations manager<br />
Martin McGregor at its meeting<br />
last Monday.<br />
Mr McGregor said the trial ran<br />
smoothly but had only a “small-tomoderate<br />
uptake” so it wouldn’t be<br />
continuing.<br />
But the board disputed that.<br />
It has requested the incentive be<br />
trialled again, but this time with a<br />
more significant incentive, such as<br />
free pool entry for cyclists.<br />
The board also said a longer trial<br />
was necessary, as well as a more<br />
robust promotion so people are<br />
more aware of it.<br />
Board chairman David Cartwright<br />
said: “One month is great,<br />
but you need to do it for a minimum<br />
of six.”<br />
The second trial round will<br />
hopefully begin in September and<br />
run for at least six months.<br />

FROM<br />
THE<br />
EDITOR’S<br />
DESK<br />
GOOD TO see the Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board has forced<br />
a rethink of the city council’s<br />
decision to abandon the cycle to<br />
Jellie Park scheme (see page 1).<br />
Last week we reported the<br />
incentivised scheme had been<br />
aborted and would not be<br />
implemented at other recreation<br />
centres aorund the city.<br />
Odd at a time when the city<br />
council is spending squillions on<br />
cycleways.<br />
So full marks to the community<br />
board for putting its foot<br />
down with the city council.<br />
The board has requested there<br />
be a more significant incentive,<br />
such as free pool entry for<br />
cyclists.<br />
The board also said a longer<br />
trial was necessary, as well as a<br />
more robust promotion so people<br />
are become more aware of it.<br />
The outcome will be known<br />
fairly soon. – Barry Clarke<br />

Red light sting helps school<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
TWENTY TICKETS were<br />
given out by police during<br />
a sting at the intersection of<br />
Cranford and Berwick Sts in<br />
a bid to stop red light-runners<br />
near St Albans School.<br />
While three tickets were issued<br />
for cell phone usage, out of<br />
date road user charges and not<br />
wearing a seatbelt, the other 17<br />
were for traffic light offences.<br />
It comes after Rachel Donaldson,<br />
a mother from St Albans<br />
School, launched a campaign<br />
against red lightrunners<br />
at the<br />
intersection.<br />
Mrs Donaldson<br />
said<br />
the amount of<br />
tickets given out<br />
Rachel<br />
Donaldson<br />
highlighted how<br />
bad the problem<br />
really was.<br />
“There was no<br />
advanced warning, it just proves<br />
that this is a daily occurrence,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mrs Donaldson said she<br />
hoped if people knew the intersection<br />
was regularly targeted<br />
by police, driver behaviour<br />
might change.<br />
She has also put signs at the<br />
DANGER: Police dished out 20 tickets in one hour of<br />
monitoring this intersection at Cranford and Berwick Sts. <br />
intersection of Cranford and<br />
Berwick Sts which said: “Don’t<br />
be that driver to kill a child”,<br />
“Slow down”, and “St Albans<br />
children matter”.<br />
But Mrs Donaldson said she<br />
now wants to keep the pressure<br />
on the Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board to make some<br />
practical changes.<br />
Board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />
raised the issue with police<br />
and they were patrolling the<br />
intersection the very next<br />
morning.<br />
“Board members Emma<br />
Norrish and Jo Byrne met with<br />
a concerned mum who brought<br />
the issue to our attention and<br />
I contacted the Papanui police<br />
straight away,” Ms Jones said.<br />
The board is now looking<br />
into getting a barrier to protect<br />
children standing at the<br />
intersection.<br />
“We don’t want to lose the<br />
momentum we’ve got going,”<br />
Ms Jones said.<br />
The board will work with<br />
police to have regular stings at<br />
the intersection during peak<br />
hours and a red light camera in<br />
the area.<br />
But the issue isn’t only a<br />
problem in St Albans.<br />
Ms Jones recently attended<br />
a meeting at Shirley Primary<br />
School with city council staff,<br />
the school’s deputy principals<br />
and police to address the same<br />
issue on Shirley Rd.<br />
The community board is<br />
continuing to address the traffic<br />
issues in its ward – with new<br />
signage expected in Shirley<br />
within weeks.<br />
In Brief<br />
DANGEROUS DRIVING<br />
Downer and the city council have<br />
been made aware of dangerous<br />
driving at the intersection of<br />
Guild St and Slater St with reports<br />
of some drivers ignoring the<br />
road signs that are in place. The<br />
changes in traffic are in place<br />
while the Hills Rd culvert is being<br />
built. Slater St is blocked and<br />
there will be no right turn into<br />
Guild St from Slater St in a bid to<br />
stop the dangerous driving.<br />
BOWLING CLUB UPGRADE<br />
The Fendalton Bowling Club has<br />
received $3000 to go towards<br />
upgrading gutters and access<br />
paths. The club, based in Makora<br />
St, Fendalton, needs the upgrade<br />
so it can be a contender to host<br />
national and international<br />
events. The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
approved the funding at its last<br />
meeting.<br />
SWIM CLUB MONEY<br />
The St Albans Amateur<br />
Swimming Life-Saving Club<br />
Inc has been using the Shirley<br />
Intermediate School Pool for a<br />
number of years. It has received<br />
$2500 of funding from the<br />
Papanui-Innes Community Board<br />
to continue to pay for the pool’s<br />
hire. The club is run entirely by<br />
volunteers and fees are kept to a<br />
minimum.<br />

PEDAL: The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board member Bridget<br />
Williams wants to see more bicycles in these stands. <br />
Scheme could get second chance<br />
•From page 1<br />
One month did not<br />
measure a trend, Mr Cartwright<br />
said.<br />
“We don’t want a dot, we<br />
need a line across several<br />
months and then we can<br />
find out trends,” Mr Cartwright<br />
said.<br />
The initial trial in<br />
February meant if you<br />
cycled to Jellie Park five<br />
times, you received free<br />
pool entry and a bottle<br />
of water. There were 117<br />
visits by cyclists in the<br />
month, which was deemed<br />
a success by Mr Cartwright<br />
as well as board member<br />
and chairwoman of the<br />
Jellie Park Bike Initiative<br />
Project committee Bridget<br />
Williams.<br />
It was intended the<br />
scheme would be rolled out<br />
across all city council sport<br />
and recreation centres,<br />
such as Pioneer and Graham<br />
Condon.<br />
“We need to think about<br />
how we publicise it like<br />
notices in the car park and<br />
where you lock your bike<br />
up that says thank you for<br />
cycling, have you heard<br />
about our new incentive,”<br />
Mr Cartwright said.<br />
Ms Williams said it<br />
would just take more time<br />
for the public profile to<br />
build.<br />
“I don’t see any harm in<br />
it continuing, people just<br />
need a wee bit of a carrot<br />
. . . good things take time,”<br />
Ms Williams said. The<br />
second trial will have to be<br />
approved by the city council<br />
before it goes ahead in<br />
September.<br />

Scheme progress eases flood worries<br />
RESIDENTS IN the Flockton<br />
area will sleep easier next time<br />
they hear rain pelting against<br />
their roofs.<br />
Key parts of the Dudley Creek<br />
flood mitigation scheme have<br />
now been completed.<br />
Last week saw the final part of<br />
the 800m bypass installed that<br />
will take stormwater from Petrie<br />
St to the Avon River.<br />
More than 500 properties<br />
now have increased flood<br />
protection to restore Flockton<br />
and surrounding areas to preearthquake<br />
levels of flood risk.<br />
The bypass is one of the<br />
biggest in the country and has<br />
been built by laying about 500<br />
box-shaped concrete pipes<br />
end-to-end.<br />
The pipes weigh between four<br />
and five tonne each and measure<br />
4m x 2m.<br />
Most of the time, the bypass<br />
will be dry. It is only designed<br />
to be used when there is heavy<br />
rain and a risk of Dudley Creek<br />
overflowing.<br />
“Now, if we have a heavy<br />
rainfall, we’ll be able to divert<br />
over 8 cu m of flood water every<br />
second from Dudley Creek to<br />
the Avon River,” said city council<br />
land drainage manager Keith<br />
Davison.<br />
“This, combined with all the<br />
other aspects of the scheme<br />
we’ve been working on over the<br />
last few years, means we can now<br />
reassure hundreds of households<br />
that their flood risk has been<br />
significantly reduced.”<br />
There is still work to be done<br />
on other aspects of the flood<br />
remediation scheme, including<br />
the Hills Rd culvert, Shirley<br />
Stream widening and road<br />
renewal in the area.<br />
“While we are thrilled that<br />
WATER: Floodprone<br />
homes<br />
in the Flockton<br />
Basin, like those<br />
in Harrison St, St<br />
Albans, will benefit<br />
from the Dudley<br />

mitigation scheme.<br />

SLOAN<br />
we’ve met our target deadline to<br />
significantly reduce flood risk,<br />
we are very conscious that until<br />
we’re finished all the works,<br />
there will still be disruption and<br />
inconvenience for people in these<br />
areas,” Mr Davison said.<br />
New dog park<br />
an option for<br />
old gravel pit<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A DOG park or green space could<br />
replace an empty gravel pit in<br />
Harewood.<br />
The 4127 sq m section at 22<br />
Waimakariri Rd is owned by the<br />
city council.<br />
But it no longer serves any practical<br />
purpose.<br />
During a review of all surplus<br />
city council properties, the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board decided the<br />
gravel pit was worth keeping and<br />
developing for public use.<br />
The other option would be to<br />
dispose of it from city council<br />
ownership.<br />
But the board decided the better<br />
option was to retain it and look at<br />
turning it from a gravel pit into a<br />
green space, dog park or similar<br />
public amenity.<br />
It would be an asset to that part<br />
of Harewood, which is particularly<br />
industrial.<br />
City council staff are investigating<br />
the viability of the green space<br />
ideas and will get the board a<br />
report within six months. It will<br />
then make a decision whether to<br />
go ahead and take that to the city<br />
council.<br />

Common sense over car parks prevails<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
article in the Nor’West<br />
<strong>News</strong> regarding the city<br />
council’s decision to cut<br />
an incentive programme<br />
that encourages people<br />
to cycle to Jellie Park<br />
Recreation and Sport<br />
Centre<br />
Fendalton city councillor<br />
Jamie Gough writes<br />
about the common sense<br />
approach used by his<br />
community board<br />
On June 20, Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />
reported on the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community<br />
Board’s decision to quash the<br />
removal of car parks outside the<br />
Holmwood Rd shops.<br />
The headline read – Businesses<br />
influence decision to keep car<br />
parks.<br />
That was fair, however, I’d suggest<br />
the headline could have read<br />
– Reality influences decision to<br />
keep car parks.<br />
The plan and staff recommendation<br />
was well-intentioned –<br />
Installation of a pedestrian island<br />
on Holmwood Rd and minor<br />
works resulting in the removal of<br />
six car parks from in front of the<br />
block of shops.<br />
Like any decision, there are<br />
pros and cons.<br />
In this instance my view, the<br />
MEETING: (Left to right) – The Cook Shop owner Elizabeth Fry with David Cartwright, Jamie<br />
Gough and Gerry Brownlee.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
board’s view, and overwhelmingly<br />
the local community’s<br />
view, was that the cons would far<br />
outweigh any pros.<br />
Gerry Brownlee, as local MP,<br />
David Cartwright, as community<br />
board chairman and I met with<br />
the Holmwood Rd business operators<br />
who were horrified by the<br />
proposal.<br />
No one wants safety compromised,<br />
however, the “safety<br />
enhancement” was suggested to<br />
particularly assist road-crossing<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students.<br />
This was somewhat baffling,<br />
given Rangi Ruru is on Rossall St<br />
– they cross at that street, which<br />
already has a pedestrian island.<br />
Further to this, the lifeblood<br />
of these local businesses is the<br />
convenient on-street parking, so<br />
affecting their viability for a solution<br />
to a non-existent problem<br />
seemed dubious at best.<br />
Parking is already atrocious<br />
here.<br />
I’d suggest if it went ahead<br />
you’d be creating an additional,<br />
yet irrelevant, crossing path to<br />
a block of vacant shops, as they<br />
would probably go out of business.<br />
The local community engaged<br />
with local democracy and the reality<br />
of the situation won the day.<br />
Sometimes major overhauls<br />
occur to ensure common sense<br />
prevails but sometimes it’s deciding<br />
to do nothing that proves to<br />
be the best decision.<br />
Jillian Nuth – Our traffic<br />
is downright dangerous. It’s a<br />
great idea but with my experience<br />
as a pedestrian walking<br />
everywhere, there’s just no way I<br />
would cycle around this city.<br />
Anna Henderson – I didn’t<br />
know about this, would have<br />
done it. Maybe publicise more?<br />
Akio Asakura – Idealist<br />
idiots. People buy cars to be<br />
comfortable in their own space<br />
– music, heater etc. Oh, we<br />
should ride bicycles. No, people<br />
who want to use trains, buses<br />
and bicycles will. However, most<br />
people drive cars.<br />
Sarah Lashbrooke – I<br />
never knew about it either unfortunately.<br />
It sounds great.<br />
Bronwyn Hendry – Maybe<br />
the real question is – can people<br />
who might use the pool afford<br />
cycles? A bit of demographic<br />
research may be indicated here.<br />
Judy Fanning – Who knew?<br />
Sadly, I missed the promo.

FLAME FILES<br />
Rescuing animals<br />
all part of the job<br />
• By Mark Thomas – specialist fire<br />
investigator<br />
I’M NOT sure what got into the<br />
pets of Halswell last week but<br />
over just two days our crews<br />
were called to three animal<br />
rescues in the suburb.<br />
First a dog chased a rabbit<br />
underneath a childcare centre –<br />
and stayed there.<br />
It was retrieved. Second, a<br />
horse was stuck down a bank at<br />
Kennedy’s Bush. With local help<br />
and a vet on-site it was winched<br />
up.<br />
Finally, an old fashioned catup-a-tree<br />
event in Arkwright Pl<br />
shows no record of just what was<br />
done in the radio message log.<br />
It might still be there. But I<br />
doubt it.<br />
To complete this animal report<br />
a mama duck from Bromley,<br />
who is a bit out of season with<br />
her troop of ducklings, fell into<br />
a drain only to be rescued by the<br />
good lads of the Woolston Fire<br />
Station.<br />
A bit early in the year you’d<br />
think. I hope they all survive.<br />
There were fires of course.<br />
BICYCLE: Chairwoman of the Jellie Park Bike Initiative Project<br />
Bridget Williams tried to increase cycling to the centre.<br />
PHOTO: ANDREW KING <br />
Tegan Osborne – The amount<br />
of times myself or my partner<br />
has nearly been hit because<br />
drivers aren’t looking where<br />
they’re pulling out with those<br />
cycle lanes down St Asaph St<br />
is crazy. It’s just too dangerous<br />
because drivers and pedestrians<br />
aren’t looking for cyclists. I feel<br />
safer on a road without cycle<br />
lanes. But people just need to<br />
watch where they’re going the<br />
lanes are a good thing because<br />
it makes things somewhat easy,<br />
it’s just the idiots who need<br />
glasses.<br />
Gavin Simon – Its winter.<br />
Not a good time to cycle unless<br />
you are especially dedicated.<br />
Wait for summer for the cycle<br />
usage numbers to increase.<br />
Kylie Mills – I cycle, but it’s<br />
cold I understand why it’s not<br />
used a lot yet.<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
news a new date has been<br />
set for the Trafford St, Harewood<br />
liquor store hearing<br />
Wendy Somerville – Keep<br />
up the fight people – it is just so<br />
unnecessary to have yet another<br />
corner bottle shop. It would be<br />
less than 1km along the road<br />
to a supermarket and a major<br />
franchised bottle shop, so why<br />
another one so close. It just<br />
makes it easier for under age kids<br />
to access alcohol and lowers the<br />
tone of the wee group of shops.<br />
The District Licencing Authority<br />
needs to listen to what people<br />
want – which is no.<br />
Heather Wilkins – New<br />
Zealand has enough of a problem<br />
with alcohol and, certainly, we<br />
do not need any more of these<br />
stores. Why isn’t the public listened<br />
to when these applications<br />
are made, as we are the ones who<br />
live by them.<br />
Marina Garthwaite – Too<br />
many liquor outlets already. No<br />
need for any more. Alcohol is<br />
causing so many problems in our<br />
community already.<br />
A very elderly lady wielding a<br />
walking stick actively prevented<br />
neighbours evacuating her from<br />
her home in Sockburn after a<br />
kitchen fire on June 24.<br />
Consequently, she was treated<br />
for smoke inhalation at the<br />
scene.<br />
Someone in Redwood used a<br />
toaster as a cigarette lighter by<br />
lying it on its side on June 23.<br />
Not too surprisingly the<br />
toaster caught fire.<br />
There’s a thousand ways your<br />
house can catch fire.<br />
But there are many hundreds<br />
of thousands of houses.<br />
Most will never burn.<br />
A bit of common sense makes<br />
it much less likely.<br />
Just how common that common<br />
sense is, I sometimes<br />
wonder.<br />

PRISTINE: St Andrew’s has been at the Rangi Ruru site for 30 years.<br />
School takes ownership<br />
of historic church<br />
AN ICONIC wooden chapel is now owned<br />
by Rangi Ruru Girls’ School.<br />
Before being purchased by the school,<br />
St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church was<br />
owned by the St Andrew’s Presbyterian<br />
Church Parish and Church Property<br />
Trust.<br />
St Andrew’s is a Category 1 heritage<br />
building and was moved to the school site<br />
in 1986 thanks to a generous donation<br />
from a parent.<br />
It reopened in 1987 after being cut into<br />
sections and moved from the intersection<br />
of Tuam St and Oxford Tce.<br />

College band in quest to<br />
make rock contest final<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
RUN77 – a band made up of<br />
five aspiring musical talents<br />
from Christ’s College – has<br />
won the regional final of the<br />
Smokefree Rockquest.<br />
The band consists of two<br />
brothers – George and Angus<br />
Murray, as well as Angus<br />
Mossman, Henry Phelps and<br />
Robbie Rolleston.<br />
“We went mental,” said<br />
guitarist and lead singer, year<br />
12 student Angus Mossman.<br />
According to Angus, in spite<br />
of some “questionable dance<br />
moves and fist pumps”, their<br />
many hours rehearsing paid<br />
off.<br />
The band practised<br />
tirelessly in the lead up to the<br />
regional final. They would<br />
be at school from 7am every<br />
day to rehearse, focusing on<br />
musicianship as well as stage<br />
presence.<br />
The national finals are on<br />
September 2.<br />
But the national finalists<br />
won’t be announced until the<br />
end of <strong>July</strong> when the judges<br />
will select eight bands from the<br />
30 regional winners across the<br />
country.<br />
Rock band tutor Nolan<br />
Hungerford said doing well<br />

by accident. “Before the boys<br />
video their original songs on<br />
Thursday, they will have put<br />
in 30 or 40 hours work,” Mr<br />
Hungerford said.<br />
The boys are currently<br />
juggling practice with internal<br />
assessments and two are<br />
also in the school production –<br />
Singin’ in the Rain.<br />
“If you want good results,<br />
you have to put in the proper<br />
work,” Mr Hungerford<br />
said.<br />
“Being in a band is learning<br />
about everything from how to<br />
plug in your guitar, how to hold<br />
an audience, how to do a gig,<br />
as well as all the ins and outs of<br />
the music world.”<br />

Burnside High takes<br />
on Disney classic<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
FOUR MONTHS of preparation<br />
will come to fruition when<br />
Burnside High School performs<br />
its musical production of the<br />
Disney classic, Beauty and the<br />
Beast.<br />
Performances start next<br />
month but if you drive past the<br />
school now you might notice<br />
a container sitting outside the<br />
Aurora Centre.<br />
Inside is the secret to the production<br />
– the original set used in<br />
the 2006 Showbiz production of<br />
Beauty and the Beast.<br />
With a cast of more than 70<br />
students, head of Arts Faculty<br />
Gavin Hurley and arts consultant<br />
Ravil Atlas were mulling over<br />
which musical to produce this<br />
year.<br />
Their thoughts went to the<br />
talent available and what kind<br />
of production they could afford<br />
to do.<br />
But they’d heard a rumour the<br />
sets were sitting somewhere in a<br />
container on a farm in Darfield.<br />
“We knew we had the perfect<br />
cast available for Beauty and the<br />
Beast but we also understood<br />
that it was a Disney show and<br />
needed the requisite wow-factor<br />
of a production,” said Mr Atlas.<br />
Mr Hurley went to see if the<br />
rumours were true and after a<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
visit to Darfield, the sets were<br />
indeed discovered sitting in a<br />
container.<br />
Arrangements were made to<br />
get the sets back to the school<br />
and the costumes were located<br />
in the North Island, so the show<br />
was booked and practice began.<br />
Both the sets and costumes<br />
were made by Showbiz in<br />
conjunction with Peter Jackson’s<br />
WETA Workshop.<br />
“I saw the National Academy<br />
of Singing and Dramatic Art use<br />
them to great effect a few years<br />
ago in Ashburton and I knew if<br />
we could get the sets and cos-<br />
REHEARSAL:<br />

Gilmore who<br />
plays Belle<br />
and Sam Burt<br />
who plays<br />
Beast. <br />
tumes we could<br />
put on a great show,” Mr Atlas<br />
said.<br />
The student orchestra will be<br />
led by Chris Petch, head of the<br />
music department, with the<br />
direction falling to Mr Atlas, a<br />
former Broadway performer, now<br />
conductor and stage director.<br />
Beauty and the Beast will be<br />
held on <strong>July</strong> 20, 21, 22, 27, and 28<br />
starting at 7pm.<br />
Matinees are available on <strong>July</strong><br />
23 and 29 starting 2pm.<br />
Tickets can be purchased<br />
through the school reception or<br />
by phoning 358 8383.<br />
THUMBS UP: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School’s national chamber<br />
music semi-finalists.<br />
Musicians score well<br />
A TRIO of chamber music<br />
groups from Rangi Ruru Girls’<br />
School have done well in the<br />
prestigious NZCT National<br />
Chamber Music Competition.<br />
Buda and the Pests made up<br />
of students, Isabella Gregory,<br />
Jessie Anderson, Valerie Xiang<br />
and Holly Evans won the South<br />
Island regional final of the contest<br />
last Saturday at The Piano in<br />
Armagh St.<br />
They, along with other finalists<br />
The French Connection made<br />
up of students Sarah Lawrence,<br />
Rachel McSweeney and Victoria<br />
Park and Amadeus Emily Davey,<br />
Lucy Costelloe, Victoria Park,<br />
Rebecca Harris and Anna Bruce<br />
have all been selected for the<br />
national semi-finals.<br />
Only five groups from<br />
Christchurch will head to Wellington<br />
in August for the semifinal<br />
and finals with three of<br />
those coming from Rangi Ruru.<br />
The girls will go up against another<br />
nine groups from around<br />

Finale, to be held in Auckland<br />
from August 24 to 26.<br />
Director of music at Rangi<br />
Ruru, Janet Kingsbury, said<br />
the school continues to punch<br />
well above its weight in music<br />
competitions and events around<br />
the country.<br />
“With a huge representation<br />
of 13 girls in the New Zealand<br />

Hello<br />
Flexible booking hours give families<br />
greater choice<br />
For busy working parents with young children, a local childcare centre that offers<br />
flexibility can make all the difference when they are juggling work schedules and<br />
caring for their family. That’s where the privately run First Learners centres come<br />
to the fore.<br />
Owned and operated by Linda Broekman,<br />
who trained as a kindergarten teacher and has<br />
decades of experience across the early learning<br />
environment, the three First Learners centres<br />
in Shirley, Mairehau and Rangiora cater for all<br />
families’ needs.<br />
“We are very flexible with our booking<br />
hours,” says Linda. “We don’t have set<br />
sessions, so parents and caregivers can leave<br />
their children in our care on any day or days<br />
and for any length of time that suits them.”<br />
The centres cater for children from birth<br />
to six years and are staffed by qualified and<br />
experienced teachers, with a low child to staff<br />
ratio.<br />
“Our philosophy focuses on the needs of<br />
each individual child, and we cater for their<br />
differing developmental needs with separate<br />
sections according to age groups,” Linda<br />
explains.<br />
First Learners offers a free play environment<br />
as well as some structured time according<br />
to age, ensuring that the children are kept<br />
engaged, stimulated and challenged while<br />
at the same time having fun and developing<br />
their social skills, creativity and confidence.<br />
The play areas are spacious and well<br />
equipped, with the children free to access<br />
both indoor and outdoor areas. By allowing<br />
them to make choices about where they want<br />
to be and what activities they want to get<br />
involved in, the staff encourage the children<br />
to explore and be curious and creative.<br />
The centres offer the government subsidised<br />
20 free hours, and these are “absolutely free,<br />
with no extra charges”, Linda says.<br />
And when children are enrolled at any of<br />
the First Leaners centres, the first four weeks<br />
are offered free, with certain conditions.<br />
Details of these can be found on their website,<br />
www.firstlearners.co.nz.<br />
Linda and her staff have an open door<br />
policy, so parents and caregivers are welcome<br />
to call in at any time to inspect the centres and<br />
chat about their child’s needs.<br />
The centres are open Monday to Friday<br />
from 7am to 6pm (Rangiora 7.15am-<br />
6pm). For more information visit www.<br />

National pride at stake<br />
for student runner<br />
SPORTS<br />
St Bede’s get<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
THE PRIDE of running for her<br />
country will help combat the<br />
butterflies in her stomach when<br />
Harriet Bush lines up for her first<br />
international cross-country race<br />
in August.<br />
The St Margaret’s student has<br />
been selected for the 12-strong<br />
New Zealand secondary schools<br />
cross-country team who will<br />
compete in Hobart from August<br />
12-14.<br />
“The sheer excitement of<br />
representing my country in a<br />
sport that I am truly passionate<br />
about fills me with such joy and<br />
pride,” she said.<br />
She said the bigger field she will<br />
be competing in will be daunting<br />
but exciting.<br />
“Obviously, I cannot wait<br />
to get out there and race. The<br />
international experience I will<br />
gain from racing the Australians<br />
will really help me in the future,”<br />
she said.<br />
“Also travelling as a team<br />
creates life-long memories and<br />
friendships that I will treasure<br />
forever.”<br />
She said without the help of her<br />
coach, she wouldn’t be where she<br />
is today.<br />
“I am so thankful for my coach<br />
Maria Hassan who has helped get<br />
me into the position I am,” she<br />
said.<br />
School director of sport<br />
Helen Belcher said they are<br />
“extremely proud” of her success<br />
and her selection is well deserved.<br />
“Harriet is currently our school<br />
cross-country captain and cohead<br />
of sport,” she said<br />
“She is a stunning ambassador<br />
for the school.”<br />

vital win ahead<br />
of challenging<br />
UC rounds<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
ST BEDE’S College secured just<br />
their third win of the season<br />
on Saturday when they beat<br />
Mid-Canterbury Combined<br />
38-17 in round 10 of the UC<br />
Championship.<br />
They ran in six tries, giving<br />
them a much-needed win before<br />
they turn their attention towards<br />
two competition powerhouses in<br />
rounds 11 and 12.<br />
On Saturday, they will head<br />
south to take on a rampaging<br />
Timaru Boys’ High who are<br />
now top of the table after a 90-0<br />
smashing of cross-town rivals<br />
Roncalli Combined.<br />
Then they will have to back up<br />
against Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
who, after having a bye in round<br />
10, have dropped to second position.<br />
St Bede’s coach Gerry Davidson<br />
said both games will test the<br />
skills of his team.<br />
“Timaru has been going well.<br />
We have had some excellent<br />
games over the past 16 years<br />
with them. They will be tough,”<br />
he said.<br />
In between the games will be<br />
the school holiday break before<br />
round 12 on <strong>July</strong> 22.<br />
“Then we have CBHS who<br />
are a traditional rival and very<br />
tough to beat,” Davidson said.<br />
In other games, St Andrew’s<br />
moved into fifth position on<br />
the table after a 40-12 win over<br />
Waimea Combined.<br />
They will want to keep up<br />
their winning ways when they<br />
take on Burnside on Saturday.<br />
Burnside will want to get off<br />
the donut and grab their first<br />
win of the competition.<br />
Finally, CBHS will take on<br />
Rangiora who are feeling good<br />
after beating St Thomas’ 19-15<br />
on Saturday.<br />

Burnside in new territory<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
BURNSIDE HIGH will defend<br />
the Connetics Shield tomorrow<br />
night after winning it for the<br />
first time last week.<br />
Cold conditions could not<br />
dampen the spirits of the team<br />
dubbed the ‘beasts’ as they celebrated<br />
their 3-1 win over Lincoln<br />
High at the Christchurch<br />
Football Centre, where all league<br />
games are played this year.<br />
Coach David Williams said<br />
the game was played in great<br />
spirit. “The boys were very<br />
happy to end up with their<br />
hands on the shield at the fulltime<br />
whistle,” he said.<br />
It is the third time the shield,<br />
considered the Ranfurly Shield<br />

changed hands this season.<br />

which held it at the start of the<br />

With the win over Lincoln<br />
High, Burnside moved into<br />
fourth position on the table, giving<br />
them a good shot at qualifying<br />
for nationals.<br />
In the other games, St Bede’s<br />
College found their groove<br />
beating Christ’s College 6-0. St<br />
Bede’s now turn their attention<br />
since she started playing.<br />
“This will be a great chance<br />
to see how we compare with the<br />
other countries in Oceania, especially<br />
Australia. I am thankful<br />
for the opportunity and for my<br />
parents constant support over<br />
the years,” she said.<br />
Burnside and Canterbury<br />
Wildcats coach Lori Ives<br />
McDaniel said Nisbet’s hard<br />
work has really paid off.<br />
“She will be a great addition to<br />
to Lincoln, who will be hurting<br />
after the loss to Burnside. That<br />
game will be played at 7.30pm.<br />
Top of the table St Andrew’s,<br />

Papanui High will look to<br />
back up their 1-0 victory over<br />

A FORMER Papanui High<br />
School student has landed a<br />
lucrative three-year swimming<br />
scholarship in the United<br />
States.<br />
After finishing school last<br />
year, Cassie Wright decided to<br />
take a gap year to focus on her<br />
swimming.<br />
Now she’s off to the<br />
University of Sioux Falls in<br />
South Dakota, where she’ll<br />
have the opportunity to train<br />
and compete with some of<br />
the best swimmers in the<br />
world.<br />
The 19-year-old backstroke<br />
specialist found out in mid-<br />
April and had a week to<br />
accept.<br />
After being so focused on<br />
gaining a scholarship, when it<br />
came to the crunch, it turned<br />
out to be a tougher decision<br />
than she thought.<br />
“The idea of not seeing my<br />
family for nine months at a<br />
time made it hard but I knew<br />
I’d regret it if I didn’t go.”<br />
She’ll be starting in semester<br />
two, on January 2, and is<br />
hoping her family can come<br />
over with her to see where<br />
she’ll be living for the next<br />
three years.<br />
“It would be a lot easier if<br />
they went to see exactly where<br />
I am. It looks cool; they have<br />
a big waterfall in the middle<br />
of town. It’s a bit bigger than<br />
Christchurch but they get all<br />
seasons (like us).”<br />
Swim training will ramp<br />
up from the normal 14<br />
hours she does each week<br />
with the QE II Swim School,<br />
which has trained out of the<br />
Christ’s College pool since the<br />
earthquakes.<br />
“I’m looking forward to<br />
training at higher levels. The<br />
SPORTS<br />
United States have so many<br />
great swimmers, people like<br />
Michael Phelps. It’s just insane<br />
how much faster they are. It’ll<br />
give me the opportunity to<br />
train and compete at a much<br />
higher level because they<br />
take swimming much more<br />
seriously; it’s huge over there.”<br />
The scholarship will pay for<br />
tuition, accommodation and<br />
food, but there’s other costs<br />
OPPORTUNITY:<br />
Cassie Wright<br />
will head off to<br />
a United States<br />
university on<br />
a three-year<br />
scholarship.<br />
like travel and insurance,<br />
which her parents will need to<br />
help out with.<br />
Her mother Janette Wright,<br />
an administrator with the<br />
QE II Swim School, said she<br />
was in the process of working<br />
everything out at the<br />
moment, including the<br />
logistics of travelling over<br />

Home, Sea & Between<br />
JoSH BaSHford<br />
The imagery in Josh Bashford’s new body of work was inspired by last summer’s<br />
early morning and late evening fishing adventures. Adventures such as heading<br />
40km offshore to fish for Groper off Banks Peninsula, or ducking down to<br />
Birdlings Flat for a relaxing evening surf casting on the beach, fishing the Rakaia<br />
River or Hurunui river mouth early morning for the elusive Chinook salmon.<br />
These places are of great significance for Josh Bashford. They provide him with<br />
not only a harvest of fresh kai for friends and family, but also the visual material<br />
for his art making.<br />
This visual material is sometimes captured on<br />
a GoPro camera, but more often it’s caught by<br />
simply being physically present in these very<br />
special places. It’s the way a bird may move<br />
through the air, a sudden glimpse of a fish<br />
breaching, or the excitement of hundreds of birds<br />
and kahawai chasing after small bait fish along<br />
the beach. All this strong imagery settles itself<br />
in Josh’s mind and has allowed him to produce<br />
this new body of limited edition woodcut prints<br />
on canvas.<br />
Josh’s latest exhibition named ‘Home, Sea &<br />
Between’ takes place at Little River Gallery from<br />
<strong>July</strong> 8th until August 2nd.

3 sprigs Tarragon<br />
1 Onion<br />
3 Apples<br />
2 cups Apple cider<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.<br />
Wipe the chicken completely dry<br />

Season the chicken with salt<br />

tarragon.<br />
Melt the butter in the oil in a<br />
large cast-iron casserole dish on<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />
Supporting your bowel and digestive<br />
function helps prevent disease<br />
It is most important to keep the<br />
whole digestive and elimination<br />
systems of the body working efficiently.<br />
Otherwise toxins that have not been<br />
eliminated set the stage for disease.<br />
Many diseases have been linked with<br />
micro-organisms (virus) or a bacterial<br />
component. Generally these microorganisms<br />
or bacteria can only survive<br />
due to the fact that the environment<br />
they are in is suitable for their survival.<br />
Non eliminated toxins are probably<br />
one of the main causative factors for<br />
their survival. We know that when the<br />
digestive system and bowel function<br />
are poor we have many more health<br />
problems. These include arthritis, digestive<br />
problems like reflux and stomach pain,<br />
bladder infections, chronic skin conditions<br />
such as eczema, psoriasis and rashes, poor<br />
eyesight, pain and inflammation, tumors<br />
and a weakened immune system just to<br />
name a few.<br />
Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a<br />
highly effective blend of natural herbs to<br />
support the whole digestive system and it<br />
is especially effective at cleansing the lower<br />
bowel and intestinal tract. It is commonly<br />
used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,<br />
digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds<br />
and influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout,<br />
skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis,<br />
urinary infections, liver dysfunction,<br />
Candida, weakened immune function and<br />
for people who want to keep their health as<br />
good as possible.<br />
The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the<br />
production of digestive fluids and bile<br />
for efficient digestion. This alone may<br />
help prevent many diseases as a properly<br />
working digestive system will itself<br />
neutralise many disease causing organisms<br />
before they have a chance to cause any<br />
problems. LBS II also stimulates peristaltic<br />
action of the colon effectively cleansing<br />
the colon of any accumulated build-ups of<br />
waste material. It also relaxes abdominal<br />
cramping and spasms, enhances liver<br />
function, purifies the blood, neutralizes<br />
acidic conditions, helps destroy intestinal<br />
parasites and worms, and fights infection.<br />
Keeping your digestive system and<br />
bowels functioning efficiently is definitely<br />
an important step in obtaining and<br />
maintaining good long term health.<br />

Osteoporosis is a serious condition<br />
...but research shows it can be reversed!<br />
Osteoporosis is not taken as a serious<br />
condition by most people! Most people<br />
don’t realise they have osteoporosis until<br />
a fracture happens, as there are usually<br />
no signs or symptoms. Fractures can<br />
commonly be debilitating with chronic<br />
pain and can lead to early mortality.<br />
Fractures kill more women than all<br />
gynaecological cancers put together and<br />
one in six women taken to hospital with<br />
a hip fracture, will not come out alive and<br />
men fare even worse. Around one in three<br />
women and one in twelve men are affected<br />
with osteoporosis.<br />
The most common osteoporotic fractures<br />
are of the wrist, spine, shoulder and hip.<br />
Vertebral collapse is a compression fracture<br />
and causes back pain often with shooting<br />
pains due to compression of the nerves.<br />
Multiple vertebral fractures lead to a<br />
stooped posture, loss of height and chronic<br />
pain with reduced mobility. Hip fractures,<br />
in particular, usually require prompt<br />
surgery, as there is a serious risk associated<br />
with it of deep vein thrombosis and<br />
pulmonary embolism leading to increased<br />
mortality.<br />
Osteoporosis literally means “bones with<br />
holes”. It occurs when bones lose minerals<br />
such as calcium more quickly than the<br />
body can replace them. Although calcium<br />
is essential for bone health other minerals<br />
like magnesium, zinc and trace minerals<br />
like silica, boron, manganese, copper are<br />
essential also. Vitamin’s D3 and K2 have<br />
been shown to be essential in a bone<br />
support program.<br />
A less well known mineral strontium,<br />
that is naturally found in your bones<br />
has been researched and found in<br />
four landmark studies to actually<br />
reverse bone loss when sufficient other<br />
nutrients are present. One study of 1,649<br />
postmenopausal women with osteoporosis<br />
who had had at least one fracture were<br />
divided into two groups. Both groups<br />
took vitamin D and calcium supplements.<br />
One group were also given 680mg/day<br />
of strontium. After the three year study<br />
the strontium group showed an unheard<br />
of average bone growth of 8.1%. This<br />
study shows that osteoporosis can not<br />
only be halted but may even be reversed<br />
and without the side effects of common<br />
osteoporosis drugs.<br />
Further information on how to<br />
support your bone density and overall<br />
health is available from the natural<br />
health specialists at Marshall’s Health<br />
& Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road,<br />

BREAKTHROUGH AGAINST OSTEOPOROSIS<br />
Osteoporosis, the weakening of the bone is a serious health threat<br />
that often leads to severe pain, fractures & early mortality. Research<br />
has found the bones can be re-mineralised & strengthened when<br />
the required nutrients are present. Minerals calcium, magnesium &<br />
vitamins D3 & K2 are essential but are not enough in many cases.<br />
A missing link appears to be the mineral strontium.<br />
Research shows strontium to positively affect bone density.<br />
- Supports strong healthy bones, teeth & nails<br />
- Is a naturally occurring mineral often lacking in the<br />
modern diet<br />
- Found in healthy bones & teeth but lacking in people<br />
with osteoporosis<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Choosing the right heat<br />
pump for your home<br />
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,<br />
most homes include at least one heat pump,<br />
if not a whole heating solution. They can<br />
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more<br />
convenient than a log burner as you just need<br />
to press a button. But how do you decide<br />
what is best? Choosing the right sized heat<br />
pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort<br />
levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore<br />
important to get professional advice from heat<br />
pump experts.<br />
The range varies from wall mounted high<br />
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />
central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />
very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />
to a constant temperature throughout.<br />
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />
is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />
taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />
building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />
available with different heating outputs so it<br />
is important to select the correct size for your<br />
requirements that will handle the job but not<br />
be unnecessarily overpowered.<br />
Secondly, the location of your heat pump<br />
is also extremely important. The cheapest<br />
installation is a back to back where the outdoor<br />
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor<br />
unit however this is not necessarily always<br />
the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />
unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />
in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />
outside their bedroom window.<br />
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />
have come and gone over the years but there<br />
are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />
reputable and reliable products. All brands<br />
vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of<br />
systems and price, so it depends on your<br />
application as to which will be most suitable.<br />
Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />
Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are<br />
all reliable brands backed up by good technical<br />
after sales service.<br />
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />
accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />
correct installation of your heat pump, but<br />
also validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />
Other things to consider when choosing a<br />
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the<br />
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi<br />
capabilities.<br />
Heating is a major investment in your home<br />
and it is vital to get the right advice.<br />
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />
installation and servicing of all major brands<br />
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as<br />
to which system will suit your application<br />
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no<br />
obligation quote and will come to your home<br />
to see what is required. Visit our website at<br />
www.enviromaster.co.nz.<br />
The facts about<br />
home ventilation<br />
Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure<br />
Under the New Zealand Building Code,<br />
all buildings, including residential, need to<br />
be suitably ventilated, either with opening<br />
windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1<br />
states: “The objective of this provision is<br />
to safeguard people from illness or loss of<br />
amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are<br />
many benefits to forced, or mechanical,<br />
ventilation over opening windows, including<br />
warmth, security, reduction of outside noises<br />
and reduction of condensation.<br />
Traditional domestic ventilation systems<br />
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from<br />
outside via the roof space and force the stale air<br />
out through gaps around windows and doors.<br />
The incoming air from these<br />
systems has to be heated or<br />
cooled to keep the house warm<br />
in winter or cool in summer.<br />
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is<br />
a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It<br />
extracts air from the house and<br />
at the same time brings in fresh<br />
air. These two streams of air<br />
pass through a heat exchanger,<br />
which warms incoming air in<br />
winter and cools in summer if<br />
air conditioning is being used.<br />
This means that up to 80% of<br />
the energy which would be<br />
wasted using a traditional positive pressure<br />
system is recovered, resulting in significant<br />
energy savings and therefore lower heating or<br />
cooling costs.<br />
Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation<br />
systems have been considerably more<br />
expensive than traditional positive pressure<br />
systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique<br />
manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390<br />
balanced pressure system can be installed for<br />
a similar price as a traditional positive pressure<br />
system.<br />

Trees and Power Lines<br />
The responsibilities of tree owners and Orion under the<br />
Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003<br />
Orion New Zealand owns and operates the electricity distribution network in central<br />
Canterbury between the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers and from the Canterbury coast<br />
to Arthur’s Pass. Trees touching power lines account for 10-20% of all unplanned power<br />
outages on our network. If you see a tree touching a power line, or any other hazardous<br />
tree condition, please contact us immediately on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.<br />
This advertisement provides a general notice of the Electricity (Hazards from Trees)<br />
Regulations 2003 and the dangers of trees near power lines. More detail on these issues<br />
can be found on our website www.oriongroup.co.nz or by phoning us on 03 363 9898.<br />
The Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003<br />
The regulations set out the responsibilities of electricity line companies and tree owners.<br />
The purpose of the regulations is to protect the safety of the public and help to ensure a<br />
secure supply of electricity. The regulations:<br />
• define safe separation distances between trees and power lines<br />
• specifies who is responsible for ensuring clearances are maintained<br />
• places potential liability on the tree owner if any damage or accident occurs due to<br />
trees touching power lines. (Note that the word “trees” includes all types of vegetation,<br />
including shrubs, hedges and climbing vines.)<br />
What are the dangers?<br />
Trees near power lines need to be trimmed or removed for the following reasons:<br />
• children like to climb trees and when trees are close to power lines there is a risk of<br />
serious injury or death<br />
• in severe weather conditions, vegetation can become electrically “live” and may<br />
electrocute anyone or anything that touches it<br />
• while a tree may not touch a power line in fine weather, branches can bend or break in<br />
wind or snow storms, causing serious damage and possibly prolonged power outages<br />
• in dry conditions, electrical sparking caused by branches or windblown debris on lines<br />
may cause fires.<br />
Minimum distances required between trees and power lines<br />
The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees and power lines, defined in<br />
the regulations, are outlined in the diagram to the right. A common sense approach, by tree<br />
owners trimming trees early, will generally prevent trees touching power lines.<br />
To maintain a safe distance from power lines some trees require cutting or trimming<br />
more frequently than other trees, but if it is determined that cutting or trimming cannot<br />
satisfactorily meet the requirement then removing the tree is recommended. Other<br />
situations may require trees to be felled because they are at a distance that is considered<br />
to be a hazard due to falling during storms or being diseased.<br />
Orion’s tree management programme<br />
Orion’s tree management programme is largely governed by the Electricity (Hazards from<br />
Trees) Regulations 2003. Our programme involves education, monitoring and the cut/trim<br />
or removal of trees that threaten to come into contact with power lines. Through this<br />
programme we work with tree owners to minimise the risk of their trees touching power lines.<br />
We currently undertake periodic cutting or trimming of vegetation within the notice zone.<br />
The intent of this cutting or trimming is to support safety and reduce the risk of power<br />
outages. This periodic cutting or trimming by us does not remove the tree owner’s<br />
responsibilities and in the case of fast growing species may not be sufficient to ensure<br />
that trees remain outside of the growth limit zone. You will be notified prior to any periodic<br />
trimming being carried out and the work will be completed by arborists carrying Orion<br />
identification.<br />
If Orion becomes aware of a tree which is within the ‘Notice zone’ (see Tree “A” in the diagram<br />
below) then we are required to issue the tree owner with a Hazard Warning notice. For trees<br />
within the ‘Growth limit zone’ (see Tree “B” in the diagram below) we are required to issue the<br />
tree owner with a Cut or Trim notice.<br />
What is a hazard warning notice?<br />
If a tree is within the “Notice zone” (see Tree “A” in the diagram), we are required to issue a<br />
hazard warning notice to the tree owner.<br />

11kV (high voltage) 2.6 metres 1.6 metres<br />
400V/230V (low voltage) 1.5 metres 0.5 metres<br />
Note:<br />
V = Volts; kV = kilo Volts ie 1,000 Volts<br />
1) These distances are from the power line, not the power pole<br />
2) These distances are a minimum and apply in all conditions including high wind or snow<br />
3) In most instances the power lines that go to a house or building are low voltage power<br />
lines. Power lines that go down a street may be low or high voltage.<br />
Trimming trees near power lines<br />
Trimming trees near power lines can be extremely hazardous and the dangers should not<br />
be underestimated. Contact with a power line can cause:<br />
• injury or death to yourself, family or passers by<br />
• injury or death to livestock<br />
• damage to property and other trees<br />
• damage to electrical appliances<br />
• damage to power supply facilities<br />
• damage to third parties.<br />
We recognise that the public is not always experienced in tree trimming, so we are happy<br />
to advise you on this. We can arrange for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your<br />
cost. If, however, you prefer to arrange your own tree trimming, we recommend you hire<br />
professionals with the necessary expertise and safety procedures to competently carry out<br />
this work.<br />
If you or someone working for you intends to work within 4 metres of power lines, a close<br />
approach consent is required from Orion before you start. As a tree owner you may be liable<br />
for any damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.<br />
A hazard warning notice alerts the tree owner that the tree has encroached the notice zone<br />
and that if it encroaches the “Growth limit zone” (see Tree “B” in the diagram) a cut or trim<br />
notice may be immediately given to the tree owner (see above).<br />
The growth limit zone is the area around a power line which trees must not encroach even<br />
in windy or snow conditions. The notice zone is a distance one metre beyond the growth<br />
limit zone.<br />
What is a cut or trim notice?<br />
If we become aware that a tree has encroached on the “Growth limit zone”, we will give<br />
notice in writing to the tree owner that the tree must be cut or timed to maintain the<br />
distances prescribed in the regulations, and the timeframes for action.<br />
If no action is taken Orion may then trim the tree and seek to recover costs.<br />
Who pays for the cut or trim?<br />
Orion is responsible for the first cut of trees near power lines, where the first cut is on a<br />
property basis, not owner basis. We have already met this obligation by completing a first cut<br />
of vegetation on all our lines.<br />
The tree owner will need to organise and pay for any subsequent and future cuts or trims.<br />
We are happy to provide tree owners with a list of approved arborists who can carry out this<br />
work, and also advise the best solution given the circumstances.<br />
What fines can be imposed?<br />
A tree owner commits an offence where a cut or trim notice is given, and without reasonable<br />
excuse, the tree owner fails to have the tree cut or trimmed and/or fails to advise us of the<br />
time and location of the cut or trim.<br />
A person who commits such an offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine not<br />
exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, that person is also liable for a further fine of<br />
not more than $500 for every day or part day during which the offence continues.<br />
Contact us if in any doubt about your tree<br />
We aim to work with tree owners to ensure safety is maintained and power outages are<br />
minimised. We will actively work with tree owners to see trees are trimmed or cut before<br />
regulatory powers are applied. However, as we wish to ensure the safety and security of the<br />
public, we will use the regulations where necessary.<br />
Please contact us or an approved Orion tree trimming contractor to help with your trees,<br />
or to discuss your options.<br />
