renewed 

calls to 

control 

fireworks 

• By Andrew King 

Accredited installers 10yr workmanship guarantee 6 yr warranty 

THE CALL to ban fireworks for 

public sale is getting louder in the 

wake of a serious house fire in 

Harewood. 

Last week, Nor’West News 

revealed a firework 

was thrown on to 

the roof of a house 

in Becmead Drive 

on November 11, 

igniting material 

and spreading to 

the roof space. 

The family had 

just gone to bed Bruce Irvine 

when the smoke 

alarm in the kitchen alerted them 

to the danger. 

The father suffered burns to 

his feet before leaving the house. 

Police are still investigating the 

incident. 

Fire investigator Bruce Irvine 

said it was lucky no-one was 

killed as a result of the ‘idiotic 

act’.

WHAT A terrific fight Rose Williams (page 3) 

had put up against fast food giant Wendy’s. 

Her battle will see Wendy’s staff across New 

Zealand backpaid for owed days in lieu. 

Rose took her case Ministry of Business, Innovation 

and Employment claiming Wendy’s were not honouring 

their lieu day committments. 

And she’s won. It will mean Wendy’s staff across the country will 

share in about $1.6 million in owed pay. 

Rose is no stranger to adversity – her husband Murray was killed 

in a speedway crash, and she’s had to work hard to keep her 

household going. Great stuff Rose. 

We’ve refreshed our masthead and page 2, and there’s more

Fast food worker wins lieu day battle 

• By Emily O’Connell 

A WOMAN has won a threeyear 

battle with a fast food 

company to ensure employees 

across the country get their days 

in lieu. 

Wendy’s, which has 23 outlets 

in New Zealand, including one 

in Hereford St and in Hornby, 

has breached two sections of the 

Holidays Act 2003. 

Wendy’s employee Rose 

Williams went to the Ministry 

of Business, Innovation and 

Employment three years ago 

with the lieu day issue after she 

had been working at the Hornby 

restaurant for a year. 

Mrs Williams said Wendy’s 

staff were not being given a lieu 

day after working on a public 

holiday. She told Nor’West News 

it feels “pretty good” to win the 

case. 

Unite Union, of which 

Mrs Williams is a delegate, 

has estimated it would cost 

Wendy’s $1.6 million to pay back 

employees’ leiu days. 

MBIE senior labour inspector 

Kim Baldwin found Wendy’s 

breached section 56 and 60 of 

the Holidays Act. 

Section 56 says an alternative 

holiday must be provided to 

an employee who works on a 

RIGHTS: Rose Williams has won a three-year battle against 

Wendy’s to give employees days in lieu when they work a 

public holiday. 

PHOTO: ANDREW KING 

public holiday if that day would 

otherwise have been a working 

day for them. 

Section 60 sets out how those 

employees should be paid for the 

alternative holiday. 

Wendy’s has been ordered 

to comply with the two 

sections, conduct a review of its 

restaurants and keep records of 

staff contacted, rosters and leave. 

It has been ordered to give 

all past and present employees 

from the Hornby and Dunedin 

restaurants their alternative 

holidays, or the equivalent 

pay since the restaurants were 

opened. 

Wendy’s has also been ordered 

to do the same for all other 

restaurants across the country 

backdated to July 1, 2012. 

Unite Union national secretary 

Gerard Hehir said it was “very 

happy” with the result. 

“We think it has significance 

beyond our dispute with 

Wendy’s actually,” he said. 

Mr Hehir said it’s hard to 

establish what would be a 

person’s normal working day 

in hospitality because of their 

variable shift work. 

“The problem we have with 

Wendy’s is they said no-one was 

entitled to one [an alternative 

holiday] at all, because hours 

changed occasionally,” Mr Hehir 

said. 

He admired how tenacious 

Mrs Williams was throughout 

the trial. Mrs Williams left a job 

at Countdown to raise her son 

Josh after her husband Murray 

died in a speedway crash 14 

years ago. She said her late 

husband was racing a sidecar 

at Ruapuna Speedway when he 

crashed and died instantly. 

She started working at 

Hornby Wendy’s four years 

ago. 

She said public holidays are 

the restaurant’s busiest days and 

it wasn’t fair to not get a day in 

lieu for working them. 

She plans to continue 

working at Wendy’s and has not 

encountered any problems while 

standing up for her rights. 

Wendy’s head office could not 

respond to Nor’West News before 

deadline yesterday.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Police target 

drivers outside 

St Albans School 

• By Julia Evans 

A SERIES of police operations 

have been planned in a bid to 

change driver behaviour in St 

Albans. 

The ongoing problem of 

speed, dangerous driving and 

inappropriate parking has been 

compromising the safety of 

pupils at St Albans School around 

Westminster, Trafalgar and 

Cranford Sts. 

However, yesterday police 

and the city council started an 

“education and enforcement” 

programme to address the issues. 

The “CHAOS at the school 

gate” operation will target any 

reckless drivers or vehicles 

parked inappropriately outside 

the school. 

If any parking offences are 

discovered, enforcement officers 

will record the car registration 

and take photos of the offending 

vehicle. An infringement notice 

would then be posted to the 

vehicle’s owner. 

An increased police presence 

has already helped reduce 

incidents, deputy principal Claire 

Howison told Nor’West News, but 

it is a matter of addressing them 

over the long-term.

Edgeware pool project update 

Chairman of the St Albans 

Pavilion and Pool Group 

Paul Somerville gives an 

update about what is going 

on with the Edgeware pool 

project 


Local 


Now 


I am chairman of the St Albans 

pool group which represents the 

local community, the swim club, 

St Albans School and Edgeware 

businesses. 

We have recently reached some 

major milestones which has given 

the community a lot of encouragement 

and it has brought the 

vision of a new community pool 

closer to reality. 

In March this year we were 

granted the resource consent. 

This has been a lengthy process 

which we started prior to the 

earthquakes. 

To date this project has cost 

the group close to $90,000 raised 

solely by the local community. 

That doesn’t include pro bono 

services provided by various 

professionals. 

This process pretty well 

exhausted the funds raised by the 

community over the past eight 

years. We are now raising funds 

to cover administration costs 

and city council resource consent 

processing fees. At present we 

are covering these payments 

by donations from generous 

members of the community and 

also from quiz nights at Bailies 

Bar and Restaurant, which is very 

supportive of the project. 

It has also been very encouraging 

to have city councillors and 

community board members, 

and our local MP Duncan Webb 

at the quiz nights. 

Our next step in the process 

was to negotiate the sale and purchase 

agreement to purchase 42a 

Edgeware Rd. With legal advice, 

some changes have been agreed 

on and the document is now 

ready to sign. 

However, $6000 will need to be 

raised to cover subdivision costs. 

A generous grant of $20,000 

has been given by the city council 

for the costing of the pool’s design 

and construction. 

We are working with Apollo 

Projects on this and will have 

estimates by Christmas. 

Apollo is looking at pool and 

building design options and we 

are confident it can give us the 

most efficient and cost-effective 

operation. 

Once we have these estimates 

and the title of the land we will be 

able start sourcing major funding. 

Regarding funding, originally 

there was quite a bit of publicity 

that Martin Coffey, a local businessman, 

was going to fund the 

building of the pool. However, 

this did not eventuate and Mr 

Coffey has since passed away. 

DANGEROUS: A Harewood house fire started by a firework 

has prompted calls to ban or further restrict the sale and use 

of fireworks. 

PHOTO: FIRE AND EMERGENCY 

Calls for fireworks ban 

•From page 1 

Readers responded to the 

article with overwhelming support 

for his view that a change is 

needed (see page 5). 

A number said banning them 

was the only way forward, especially 

to protect pets which get 

very distressed by the constant 

noise which continues after 

celebration date. 

Mr Irvine said it was time for 

a public debate. 

“We are not about banning 

people from an activity they enjoy. 

We just want to look at what 

changes can be made to give 

everybody a fair go,” he said. 

Mr Irvine suggested the idea 

of only allowing the use of fireworks 

during the four-day sale 

period leading up to November 5. 

“If we were to do that, we [the 

public] would need to work 

out how to regulate it and who 

would enforce it,” he said. 

It would then need to be decided 

if it would become a bylaw 

or be discussed at a Government 

level. 

SPCA spokeswoman Anna 

King said it would prefer a public 

display kept to one night. 

“The problem is that people 

are prepared during the week of 

the celebration, but not for the 

months afterwards,” she said.

fireworks only be used

period leading up to

We asked readers if they 

though fireworks should 

be banned after a serious 

house fire in Harewood 

almost ended in deaths 

after a firework was 

thrown onto the roof. You 

responded 

Debbie Pascoe – Good 

on you Bruce it is high time 

for a ban on the public sale of 

fireworks. Can we not involve 

multi-agencies across medicine, 

veterinary, firefighters as well as 

the public. The professionals at 

the ‘picking up the pieces’ end 

must hate it and sadly it isn’t 

confined to November 5, many 

people hoard them and let them 

off randomly. Pet owners cannot 

predict when they need to protect 

their animals, horses go through 

fences and have to be destroyed, 

the list goes on. The idiots may 

not be the majority of users but 

the carnage outweighs the benefits 

of the display. When lives are 

threatened a line has to be drawn. 

Public displays generally are far 

safer and that offers the public 

the chance to enjoy fireworks of 

a much better quality and at least 

we know it is only one weekend 

that has to be endured. 

Cherry Cornelius – Ban 

from public sale, I’m fed up 

with it every night, the animals 

that are terrified and injured. 

Public displays only would be 

great. 

Chris Matthews – They do 

need to be banned from public 

sale, we have them going off 

every night as people stockpile 

them. Public displays are fine. 

Elaine Beavington – Fireworks 

need to be banned. November 

5 is long past its use by 

date. People abuse what it stands 

for. Some fireworks are like a 

loaded gun. Anyway, it 

has nothing to do with New 

Zealand. 

Penelope Bell – They 

become a public nuisance in the 

hands of irresponsible people. 

Ban them and save distress, 

injury and money. 

Michaela Suttie – I am 

all for banning them, have had 

distressed dogs since they went 

on sale and one night had a very 

stressed baby due to someone 

letting one off right outside his 

window. I wouldn’t mind if 

people were sensible but each 

year it seems to be getting worse 

and the stockpiles people are 

saving and letting off months 

later gets quite tiresome. I use to 

love them but now can’t stand 

them. 

Lexine Harpur – Ban public 

sales, stick to controlled events 

only. Too many irresponsible 

people letting off fireworks after 

public events amongst crowds 

of people. Almost struck twice 

after this year’s public event in 

Christchurch. Too late once the 

damage is done. 

Jenny Jarvis – Ban sales 

to the public, I hate how our 

younger dog gets so stressed 

night after night, we have had 

them going off in our area for the 

last two months. 

Una Atkins – About 

time fireworks were given the 

boot. 

Kim Brown – Prosecute 

people using them after November 

5. 

Lisa-Marie Hallam – Ban 

public sales, only have displays. 

Too many problems each year 

with the public. 

Abbie Grammer – Every 

year the same thing. It seems the 

Local 


Now 


majority wants them banned and 

used only for controlled public 

displays. What do we need to do 

to change this? How do we get 

the ball rolling? 

Tania Sisson – Stupid people 

doing stupid acts. 

Krysie Harding-Browne 

– A friend of mine has had fireworks 

shot at her house purposefully 

(angry neighbour), stick to 

public events. 

Diane Rangi – I agree with 

everyone. Ban them. Organised 

displays only. 

Mike Adamson – Tougher 

punishment for firework crimes 

committed. No point ruining it 

for everyone. 

Bev Dobson – Ban the 

things. 

Wal Thomas – Could have 

been my house. Time to ban 

public fireworks sales. 

Tony Waterman – And yet 

they’re still legal to buy. 

Niki Harper – Organised 

events only. 

Joy Averis – How could anyone 

be so stupid. 

Nichola Tyson – Ban public 

sales.

year in a row. 

Played in a Twenty20 format 

Heaton cruised to the title, 

winning all five games including 

a big 107-run victory over 

Carterton’s St Mary’s School 

in the opening round. 

As well as clocking up 

plenty of runs with the bat, 

they also proved to be lethal 

with the ball, bowling out 

Dunedin’s Balmacewen Intermediate 

for 31. 

They also beat Morrinsville 

SPORTS 

Intermediate by 95 runs, 

Papatoetoe’s Holy Cross by 27 

runs and Wellington’s Raroa 

Normal Intermediate by 72 

runs. 

It could have been their fifth 

title in a row if Hamilton’s 

Berkley Normal Middle 

School hadn’t won in 2014. 

The games were held at 

the New Zealand Cricket 

High-Performance Centre 

in Lincoln from Thursday to 

Saturday.

Now 


IN THE 

GROOVE: 

Ted McNabb 

and Heather 

Marshall 

tear up the 

dance floor 

at the tennis 

ball in the 

Duvauchelle 

Hall, in June, 

1958. One 

of the many 

functions 

and events 

recorded by 

Donald McKay 

during his 

career. 

WELCOME: The cruise ship Himalaya visited Akaroa on December 

23, 1960. Serving kai from a hangi are (from left) Naomi Bunker, Olive 

Robinson, Marie Tini, unidentified and Polly-Ann Robinson. A Maori concert 

party was also held for the passengers in The Gaiety. 

Peninsula life captured by photographer 

•From page 1 

They include pictures of social 

and community events, weddings, 

farming activities and scenic views 

of Banks Peninsula. 

Mr McKay, 83, grew up on a farm 

in Le Bons Bay. 

An only child, he left the farm for 

three years to attend Christchurch 

Boys’ High School as a boarder, 

from 1947-49, where he joined the 

camera club. 

“We had some really really 

good instructors, including Len 

Casbolt and Frank McGregor. Also 

I used to spend a lot of time at my 

uncle Stan MacKay’s as he was the 

Christchurch Star Sun photographer 

and his son Ross was a skilled horse 

racing photographer. I used to 

admire their beautiful cameras and 

enlargers . . . I’m not sure what I 

liked more, the photography or the 

equipment.” 

Mr McKay sold his push bike and 

his best pair of shoes to buy a second 

hand camera from H.E. Perry 

in Colombo St. 

“I used that camera for two or 

three years, photographing various 

events, weddings, and children.” 

He shot his first wedding at 16, 

“local people.” 

Returning to Le Bons Bay in 

1949, Mr McKay’s passion for photography 

was a frequent distraction 

from farm work. He photographed 

aspects of farm life was well as local 

weddings, 21sts and other social 

events. 

In 1961, he was offered a job as 

medical photographer at Burwood 

Hospital, but continued to travel 

back to the peninsula in the weekends 

to photograph various events. 

The collection includes some 

interesting documentary records of 

peninsula life, Mr Smith said. 

“As a historical record the collection 

is extremely rich.” 

“He would photograph activities 

like docking at his farm in Le Bons 

Bay. There’s a whole series of images 

of sheep getting their tails chopped 

off; guys holding knives splattered 

with blood. It’s an interesting record 

of a lost way of life.” 

Fortunately Mr McKay still had 

his job books which record the 

content of the pictures. Local researcher 

Jan Shuttleworth had also 

already identified many subjects 

in the photographs by working 

through negatives digitised by Mr 

McKay. 

Nevertheless, cataloguing hundreds 

of negatives into the Akaroa 

Museum collection would be a 

“long process,” Mr Smith said. 

The museum plans to mount an 

exhibition towards the end of next 

year. 

TEAM: William Gebbie with his dogs Don and Dick. They were heading winners at the Akaroa 

dog trials in 1950. In the background is Mr Gebbie’s Studebaker. PHOTOS: DONALD MCKAY

REAL ESTATE 

Paradise found ... 

48 Early Valley Road, Tai Tapu 

Price: $995,000 

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 3 car-garage | 3 off-street parks | Property ID: BE192870 

... this special property is only fifteen 

minutes from the city in the blue-chip area 

of Lansdowne Valley, just off the Old Tai 

Tapu Road, in an idyllic location on Early 

Valley Road. Coming home from the noise 

and bustle of the city to this tranquillity 

will be your treat - so much so you may not 

wish to leave at all! 

Offering all the benefits of the rural 

lifestyle overlooking fields and grazing 

animals but without the hard work of a 

lifestyle block. The house is set on just over 

1800 sq m of land with a landscaped garden 

which will delight a gardener. 

With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 

a large living room there is the opportunity 

for an extended family to coexist here with 

a quite separate wing or perhaps for those 

that like to have friends to stay you will find 

the layout of the home is perfect for this. 

The added benefit of three car garaging will 

keep your vehicles safe and secure. There 

is ample off-street parking as well for your 

visitors. 

Surrounded by the Port Hills with all 

the amenities these provide for those who 

like an active lifestyle and offering those 

who prefer perhaps to wine and dine an 

abundance of choice of winery and cafes. 

Don’t hesitate - view now, it is rare 

indeed to find this combination of rural life 

without the burden of a lifestyle block. 

Open Home Saturday 2nd December 

12:30pm - 1:00pm. 

See you at the open home or to arrange 

a private viewing of this property call 

Debbie Pettigrew on 027 777 0411 or
