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 />

WHAT A terrific fight Rose Williams (page 3)<br />
had put up against fast food giant Wendy’s.<br />
Her battle will see Wendy’s staff across New<br />
Zealand backpaid for owed days in lieu.<br />
Rose took her case Ministry of Business, Innovation<br />
and Employment claiming Wendy’s were not honouring<br />
their lieu day committments.<br />
And she’s won. It will mean Wendy’s staff across the country will<br />
share in about $1.6 million in owed pay.<br />
Rose is no stranger to adversity – her husband Murray was killed<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 />
Wendy’s head office could not<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 />
to change this? How do we get<br />
the ball rolling?<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 />

Donald McKay<br />

career.<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 />

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

600g of lamb<br />

1 large avocado, halved, stoned<br />

2 tablespoons olive oil<br />
1kg lamb leg chops<br />
Directions<br />

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

1800 sq m of land with a landscaped garden<br />
which will delight a gardener.<br />

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