Accredited installers 10yr workmanship guarantee 6 yr warranty<br />

THE CALL to ban fireworks for<br />

public sale is getting louder in the<br />

wake of a serious house fire in<br />

Harewood.<br />

Last week, Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />

revealed a firework<br />

was thrown on to<br />

the roof of a house<br />

in Becmead Drive<br />

on <strong>November</strong> 11,<br />

igniting material<br />

and spreading to<br />

the roof space.<br />

The family had<br />

just gone to bed Bruce Irvine<br />

when the smoke<br />

alarm in the kitchen alerted them<br />

to the danger.<br />

The father suffered burns to<br />

his feet before leaving the house.<br />

Police are still investigating the<br />

incident.<br />

Fire investigator Bruce Irvine<br />

said it was lucky no-one was<br />

killed as a result of the ‘idiotic<br />

act’.<br />

had put up against fast food giant Wendy’s.<br />

Her battle will see Wendy’s staff across New<br />

Rose took her case Ministry of Business, Innovation<br />

their lieu day committments.<br />

And she’s won. It will mean Wendy’s staff across the country will<br />

Fast food worker wins lieu day battle<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

A WOMAN has won a threeyear<br />

battle with a fast food<br />

company to ensure employees<br />

across the country get their days<br />

in lieu.<br />

Wendy’s, which has 23 outlets<br />

in New Zealand, including one<br />

in Hereford St and in Hornby,<br />

has breached two sections of the<br />

Holidays Act 2003.<br />

Wendy’s employee Rose<br />

Williams went to the Ministry<br />

of Business, Innovation and<br />

Employment three years ago<br />

with the lieu day issue after she<br />

had been working at the Hornby<br />

restaurant for a year.<br />

Mrs Williams said Wendy’s<br />

staff were not being given a lieu<br />

day after working on a public<br />

holiday. She told Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />

it feels “pretty good” to win the<br />

case.<br />

Unite Union, of which<br />

Mrs Williams is a delegate,<br />

has estimated it would cost<br />

Wendy’s $1.6 million to pay back<br />

employees’ leiu days.<br />

MBIE senior labour inspector<br />

Kim Baldwin found Wendy’s<br />

breached section 56 and 60 of<br />

the Holidays Act.<br />

Section 56 says an alternative<br />

holiday must be provided to<br />

an employee who works on a<br />

RIGHTS: Rose Williams has won a three-year battle against<br />

Wendy’s to give employees days in lieu when they work a<br />

public holiday.<br />

PHOTO: ANDREW KING<br />

public holiday if that day would<br />

otherwise have been a working<br />

day for them.<br />

Section 60 sets out how those<br />

employees should be paid for the<br />

alternative holiday.<br />

Wendy’s has been ordered<br />

to comply with the two<br />

sections, conduct a review of its<br />

restaurants and keep records of<br />

staff contacted, rosters and leave.<br />

It has been ordered to give<br />

all past and present employees<br />

from the Hornby and Dunedin<br />

restaurants their alternative<br />

holidays, or the equivalent<br />

pay since the restaurants were<br />

opened.<br />

Wendy’s has also been ordered<br />

to do the same for all other<br />

restaurants across the country<br />

backdated to July 1, 2012.<br />

Unite Union national secretary<br />

Gerard Hehir said it was “very<br />

happy” with the result.<br />

“We think it has significance<br />

beyond our dispute with<br />

Wendy’s actually,” he said.<br />

Mr Hehir said it’s hard to<br />

establish what would be a<br />

person’s normal working day<br />

in hospitality because of their<br />

variable shift work.<br />

“The problem we have with<br />

Wendy’s is they said no-one was<br />

entitled to one [an alternative<br />

holiday] at all, because hours<br />

changed occasionally,” Mr Hehir<br />

said.<br />

He admired how tenacious<br />

Mrs Williams was throughout<br />

the trial. Mrs Williams left a job<br />

at Countdown to raise her son<br />

Josh after her husband Murray<br />

died in a speedway crash 14<br />

years ago. She said her late<br />

husband was racing a sidecar<br />

at Ruapuna Speedway when he<br />

crashed and died instantly.<br />

She started working at<br />

Hornby Wendy’s four years<br />

ago.<br />

She said public holidays are<br />

the restaurant’s busiest days and<br />

it wasn’t fair to not get a day in<br />

lieu for working them.<br />

She plans to continue<br />

working at Wendy’s and has not<br />

encountered any problems while<br />

standing up for her rights.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Police target<br />

drivers outside<br />

St Albans School<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

A SERIES of police operations<br />

have been planned in a bid to<br />

change driver behaviour in St<br />

Albans.<br />

The ongoing problem of<br />

speed, dangerous driving and<br />

inappropriate parking has been<br />

compromising the safety of<br />

pupils at St Albans School around<br />

Westminster, Trafalgar and<br />

Cranford Sts.<br />

However, yesterday police<br />

and the city council started an<br />

“education and enforcement”<br />

programme to address the issues.<br />

The “CHAOS at the school<br />

gate” operation will target any<br />

reckless drivers or vehicles<br />

parked inappropriately outside<br />

the school.<br />

If any parking offences are<br />

discovered, enforcement officers<br />

will record the car registration<br />

and take photos of the offending<br />

vehicle. An infringement notice<br />

would then be posted to the<br />

vehicle’s owner.<br />

An increased police presence<br />

has already helped reduce<br />

incidents, deputy principal Claire<br />

Howison told Nor’West <strong>News</strong>, but<br />

it is a matter of addressing them<br />

over the long-term.<br />

Edgeware pool project update<br />

Chairman of the St Albans<br />

Pavilion and Pool Group<br />

Paul Somerville gives an<br />

update about what is going<br />

on with the Edgeware pool<br />

project<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

Local<br />

<strong>News</strong><br />

Now<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

I am chairman of the St Albans<br />

pool group which represents the<br />

local community, the swim club,<br />

St Albans School and Edgeware<br />

businesses.<br />

We have recently reached some<br />

major milestones which has given<br />

the community a lot of encouragement<br />

and it has brought the<br />

vision of a new community pool<br />

closer to reality.<br />

In March this year we were<br />

granted the resource consent.<br />

This has been a lengthy process<br />

which we started prior to the<br />

earthquakes.<br />

To date this project has cost<br />

the group close to $90,000 raised<br />

solely by the local community.<br />

That doesn’t include pro bono<br />

services provided by various<br />

professionals.<br />

This process pretty well<br />

exhausted the funds raised by the<br />

community over the past eight<br />

years. We are now raising funds<br />

to cover administration costs<br />

and city council resource consent<br />

processing fees. At present we<br />

are covering these payments<br />

by donations from generous<br />

members of the community and<br />

also from quiz nights at Bailies<br />

Bar and Restaurant, which is very<br />

supportive of the project.<br />

It has also been very encouraging<br />

to have city councillors and<br />

community board members,<br />

and our local MP Duncan Webb<br />

at the quiz nights.<br />

Our next step in the process<br />

was to negotiate the sale and purchase<br />

agreement to purchase 42a<br />

Edgeware Rd. With legal advice,<br />

some changes have been agreed<br />

on and the document is now<br />

ready to sign.<br />

However, $6000 will need to be<br />

raised to cover subdivision costs.<br />

A generous grant of $20,000<br />

has been given by the city council<br />

for the costing of the pool’s design<br />

and construction.<br />

We are working with Apollo<br />

Projects on this and will have<br />

estimates by Christmas.<br />

Apollo is looking at pool and<br />

building design options and we<br />

are confident it can give us the<br />

most efficient and cost-effective<br />

operation.<br />

Once we have these estimates<br />

and the title of the land we will be<br />

able start sourcing major funding.<br />

Regarding funding, originally<br />

there was quite a bit of publicity<br />

that Martin Coffey, a local businessman,<br />

was going to fund the<br />

building of the pool. However,<br />

this did not eventuate and Mr<br />

Coffey has since passed away.<br />

DANGEROUS: A Harewood house fire started by a firework<br />

has prompted calls to ban or further restrict the sale and use<br />

of fireworks.<br />

PHOTO: FIRE AND EMERGENCY ​<br />

Calls for fireworks ban<br />

•From page 1<br />

Readers responded to the<br />

article with overwhelming support<br />

for his view that a change is<br />

needed (see page 5).<br />

A number said banning them<br />

was the only way forward, especially<br />

to protect pets which get<br />

very distressed by the constant<br />

noise which continues after<br />

celebration date.<br />

Mr Irvine said it was time for<br />

a public debate.<br />

“We are not about banning<br />

people from an activity they enjoy.<br />

We just want to look at what<br />

changes can be made to give<br />

everybody a fair go,” he said.<br />

Mr Irvine suggested the idea<br />

of only allowing the use of fireworks<br />

during the four-day sale<br />

period leading up to <strong>November</strong> 5.<br />

“If we were to do that, we [the<br />

public] would need to work<br />

out how to regulate it and who<br />

would enforce it,” he said.<br />

It would then need to be decided<br />

if it would become a bylaw<br />

or be discussed at a Government<br />

level.<br />

SPCA spokeswoman Anna<br />

King said it would prefer ​a public<br />

display kept to one night.<br />

“The problem is that people<br />

are prepared during the week of<br />

the celebration, but not for the<br />

months afterwards,” she said.<br />

Tuesday <strong>November</strong> <strong>28</strong> <strong>2017</strong> 5<br />

We asked readers if they<br />

though fireworks should<br />

be banned after a serious<br />

house fire in Harewood<br />

almost ended in deaths<br />

after a firework was<br />

thrown onto the roof. You<br />

responded<br />

Debbie Pascoe – Good<br />

on you Bruce it is high time<br />

for a ban on the public sale of<br />

fireworks. Can we not involve<br />

multi-agencies across medicine,<br />

veterinary, firefighters as well as<br />

the public. The professionals at<br />

the ‘picking up the pieces’ end<br />

must hate it and sadly it isn’t<br />

confined to <strong>November</strong> 5, many<br />

people hoard them and let them<br />

off randomly. Pet owners cannot<br />

predict when they need to protect<br />

their animals, horses go through<br />

fences and have to be destroyed,<br />

the list goes on. The idiots may<br />

not be the majority of users but<br />

the carnage outweighs the benefits<br />

of the display. When lives are<br />

threatened a line has to be drawn.<br />

Public displays generally are far<br />

safer and that offers the public<br />

the chance to enjoy fireworks of<br />

a much better quality and at least<br />

we know it is only one weekend<br />

that has to be endured.<br />

Cherry Cornelius – Ban<br />

from public sale, I’m fed up<br />

with it every night, the animals<br />

that are terrified and injured.<br />

Public displays only would be<br />

great.<br />

Chris Matthews – They do<br />

need to be banned from public<br />

sale, we have them going off<br />

every night as people stockpile<br />

them. Public displays are fine.<br />

Elaine Beavington – Fireworks<br />

need to be banned. <strong>November</strong><br />

5 is long past its use by<br />

date. People abuse what it stands<br />

for. Some fireworks are like a<br />

loaded gun. Anyway, it<br />

has nothing to do with New<br />

Zealand.<br />

Penelope Bell – They<br />

become a public nuisance in the<br />

hands of irresponsible people.<br />

Ban them and save distress,<br />

injury and money.<br />

Michaela Suttie – I am<br />

all for banning them, have had<br />

distressed dogs since they went<br />

on sale and one night had a very<br />

stressed baby due to someone<br />

letting one off right outside his<br />

window. I wouldn’t mind if<br />

people were sensible but each<br />

year it seems to be getting worse<br />

and the stockpiles people are<br />

saving and letting off months<br />

later gets quite tiresome. I use to<br />

love them but now can’t stand<br />

them.<br />

Lexine Harpur – Ban public<br />

sales, stick to controlled events<br />

only. Too many irresponsible<br />

people letting off fireworks after<br />

public events amongst crowds<br />

of people. Almost struck twice<br />

after this year’s public event in<br />

Christchurch. Too late once the<br />

damage is done.<br />

Jenny Jarvis – Ban sales<br />

to the public, I hate how our<br />

younger dog gets so stressed<br />

night after night, we have had<br />

them going off in our area for the<br />

last two months.<br />

Una Atkins – About<br />

time fireworks were given the<br />

boot.<br />

Kim Brown – Prosecute<br />

people using them after <strong>November</strong><br />

5.<br />

Lisa-Marie Hallam – Ban<br />

public sales, only have displays.<br />

Too many problems each year<br />

with the public.<br />

Abbie Grammer – Every<br />

year the same thing. It seems the<br />

Local<br />

<strong>News</strong><br />

Now<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

majority wants them banned and<br />

used only for controlled public<br />

displays. What do we need to do<br />

HEATON Normal<br />

Intermediate girls have won<br />

the national primary school<br />

cricket shield for the third<br />

year in a row.<br />

Played in a Twenty20 format<br />

Heaton cruised to the title,<br />

winning all five games including<br />

a big 107-run victory over<br />

Carterton’s St Mary’s School<br />

in the opening round.<br />

As well as clocking up<br />

plenty of runs with the bat,<br />

they also proved to be lethal<br />

with the ball, bowling out<br />

Dunedin’s Balmacewen Intermediate<br />

for 31.<br />

They also beat Morrinsville<br />

SPORTS<br />

Intermediate by 95 runs,<br />

Papatoetoe’s Holy Cross by 27<br />

runs and Wellington’s Raroa<br />

Normal Intermediate by 72<br />

runs.<br />

It could have been their fifth<br />

title in a row if Hamilton’s<br />

Berkley Normal Middle<br />

School hadn’t won in 2014.<br />

The games were held at<br />

the New Zealand Cricket<br />

High-Performance Centre<br />

in Lincoln from Thursday to<br />

Saturday.<br />

Donald McKay<br />

career.<br />

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

Peninsula life captured by photographer<br />

•From page 1<br />

They include pictures of social<br />

and community events, weddings,<br />

farming activities and scenic views<br />

of Banks Peninsula.<br />

Mr McKay, 83, grew up on a farm<br />

in Le Bons Bay.<br />

An only child, he left the farm for<br />

three years to attend Christchurch<br />

Boys’ High School as a boarder,<br />

from 1947-49, where he joined the<br />

camera club.<br />

“We had some really really<br />

good instructors, including Len<br />

Casbolt and Frank McGregor. Also<br />

I used to spend a lot of time at my<br />

uncle Stan MacKay’s as he was the<br />

Christchurch Star Sun photographer<br />

and his son Ross was a skilled horse<br />

racing photographer. I used to<br />

admire their beautiful cameras and<br />

enlargers . . . I’m not sure what I<br />

liked more, the photography or the<br />

equipment.”<br />

Mr McKay sold his push bike and<br />

his best pair of shoes to buy a second<br />

hand camera from H.E. Perry<br />

in Colombo St.<br />

“I used that camera for two or<br />

three years, photographing various<br />

events, weddings, and children.”<br />

He shot his first wedding at 16,<br />

“local people.”<br />

Returning to Le Bons Bay in<br />

1949, Mr McKay’s passion for photography<br />

was a frequent distraction<br />

from farm work. He photographed<br />

aspects of farm life was well as local<br />

weddings, 21sts and other social<br />

events.<br />

In 1961, he was offered a job as<br />

medical photographer at Burwood<br />

Hospital, but continued to travel<br />

back to the peninsula in the weekends<br />

to photograph various events.<br />

The collection includes some<br />

interesting documentary records of<br />

peninsula life, Mr Smith said.<br />

“As a historical record the collection<br />

is extremely rich.”<br />

“He would photograph activities<br />

like docking at his farm in Le Bons<br />

Bay. There’s a whole series of images<br />

of sheep getting their tails chopped<br />

off; guys holding knives splattered<br />

with blood. It’s an interesting record<br />

of a lost way of life.”<br />

Fortunately Mr McKay still had<br />

his job books which record the<br />

content of the pictures. Local researcher<br />

Jan Shuttleworth had also<br />

already identified many subjects<br />

in the photographs by working<br />

through negatives digitised by Mr<br />

McKay.<br />

Nevertheless, cataloguing hundreds<br />

of negatives into the Akaroa<br />

Museum collection would be a<br />

“long process,” Mr Smith said.<br />

The museum plans to mount an<br />

exhibition towards the end of next<br />

year.<br />

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

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

2 tablespoons olive oil<br />

1kg lamb leg chops<br />

Directions<br />

and bustle of the city to this tranquillity<br />

will be your treat - so much so you may not<br />

wish to leave at all!<br />

lifestyle block. The house is set on just over<br />

1800 sq m of land with a landscaped garden<br />

which will delight a gardener.<br />

With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and<br />

a large living room there is the opportunity<br />

keep your vehicles safe and secure. There<br />

is ample off-street parking as well for your<br />
