Council earns praise for
coastal hazards process
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
A LONG time critic of a
controversial coastal hazards
report says the city council has
finally got the process right.
South Brighton Residents
Association chairman Hugo
Kristinsson (below) has been vocal
in his opposition to last year’s
report, saying the science behind
conclusions was not sound.
But he says the city council
is on the right track after it,
on Thursday, approved GHD
Consultant’s terms of reference
for an expert panel to review the
report.
The city council came under
fire for the
Tonkin + Taylor
Coastal Hazards
Assessment
Report, released
in July, which
identified 6000
properties that
could be susceptible to erosion.
It also reported that nearly
18,000 homes were at risk of
coastal inundation over the next
50 to 100 years.
Last year the report was
independently reviewed by
Dr Terry Hume of Hume
Consulting Ltd, but the science
of the findings was widely
questioned by the communities
affected.

IN DANGER: The Spit, off Southshore, was discussed in Tonkin + Taylor’s report on coastal
hazards as being one of many at-risk areas.
The city council decided in
December that another review
should be carried out with more
community input.
Mr Kristinsson said he was
pleased to see the shortlist of
experts approved by the city
council, when they accepted
GHD Consultants’ proposed
terms for the report.
The city council also approved
the scope of the review, scientific
and legal questions to be

answered by the expert panel,
and a preliminary timeline for
the panel to have completed the
review.
GHD Consultants national
business group manager Maurice
Hoban said they appointed a
community reference group to
“call the shots” when making the
proposal.
“We’ve been talking to the
affected communities for
some time, asking them who

they’d like to see on the panel
. . . through mid April to mid
May we discussed the terms of
reference and the list of experts,
which was made by them,” he
said.
The shortlist for the expert
panel is made up of five
members, three scientists, a legal
expert and a statistician.
The scientists will have local,
national, or international
expertise.

CHOCOLATE CHEWED OVER AT COUNCIL
A HEATED discussion was quelled
at a city council meeting last week
when a councillor was told to “eat a

During last week’s meeting, city
councillor Jamie Gough joked
that fellow councillor Glenn
Livingstone should have a snack
during passionate discussions
over a deputation presented to the
city council.
The popular American chocolate

Still friends after 66 years
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
FRIENDSHIPS formed in high
school 66 years ago are still
going strong for an Avonside
Girls’ High School group.
Avonside Old Girls, a group of
10 women who all began at the
high school in 1950, at age 14,
celebrated their 66th anniversary
as friends on Friday.
This year, the women met in
Huntsbury for a late lunch, a cup
of tea, and a chin wag about the
“good old times” from 66 years
before.
The group was originally 13
members, but a few have passed
on. The group is now made up of
Joy Masters, Eleanor Gillespie,
Rosalind Fahey, Moyra Forsyth,
Rosemary Harper, Valerie Percy,
Alison Royfee, Norma-Anne
Prior, Pam Howell, Aileen Rice,
and Fay Powell.
Some members have known
each other since 1941. Mrs
Gillespie, Mrs Percy and Mrs
Harper all attended Opawa
Primary School together.
Mrs Gillespie said the group
only meet a few times a year, but
their friendship has remained
strong over time.
“We meet every two or three
months. It’s been 66 years since
that all started, and now we’re
all turning 80,” she said.
The members will or have
turned 80 this year, but Mrs
Gillespie said that doesn’t mean
any of them have lost their
marbles.
“It’s amazing because when
we were at school, we had the
choice of commercial work,
or home life. And we all chose
commercial work. I worked until
I was 65 as a clerk, and some
still do some work. We all still
have our marbles,” she said.
She said from their original
Avonside class of about 20, the
original group of girls from that
class still “catch up and have a
yak” every two or three
months.
“There was only ever
about 21 in the class,
and we have lost three
members along the way,
they’ve passed on. So we
are doing really well,”
she said.
Mrs Gillespie said
if she could give any
advice to young people
going through school
now, it would be to keep
your friends.

In Brief
QE II LAND SALE DECISION
The hearings panel in charge
of deciding whether a portion
of QE II Park should be sold
to the Ministry of Education,
has decided that it should,
with minor adjustments. They
recommended the sale proceed,
so long as some land is retained
to enable the Travis Medical
Centre to use it for customer
car parking, some of the park’s
memorial trees are protected,
a publicly-accessible walking
track is created, and the proceeds
from the land sale go towards the
development and implementation
of a master plan for the entirety
of QE II Park.
RED ZONE MEETING
A meeting was held to discuss
the future of the residential red
zone last week. Organised by
New Brighton Union Parish
co-ordinating minister Mark
Gibson, the meeting was
held to discuss processes that
residents would like to see
Regenerate Christchurch take.
The community want Regenerate,
charged with the development
of the residential red zone, to be
clear and transparent in their
decision-making. Regenerate
chairman Andre Lovatt said
success for him is having the
community involved throughout
the process.

Veterinary practice
TINKER – THE SURVIVOR
There is never a dull
moment at McMaster &
Heap vets and funnily
enough the critical
serious cases mostly
show up on weekends,
or 7pm at night. I’d
arrived into work one
Saturday to help out
and Tinker was in our
surgical area, having
just been transferred
from the After
Hours Clinic. He
looked terrible (
his face had taken
the full impact of
a collision with a
car) but he was on
a fentanyl drip and
his pain seemed
well managed.
Miraculously he
had survived and
his success story is
due to not just our
surgical efforts that Saturday but also the
events that took place by many people
prior to us seeing him.
His accident happened Friday night and
some great human being saw him on the
road and immediately delivered him to
the After Hours clinic, which incidentally
saved his life. We are so fortunate to have
an emergency centre open through
the nights and weekends when other
clinics have closed. The team there
swiftly examined and
stabilized Tinker and
started him on pain
medications, antibiotics
and intravenous fluids.
Then his owners were
contacted as Tinker
wore a collar with
nametag attached. This
means of identification
(or a microchip) is so
important because
without an owners
consent we can’t really
treat a critically ill
patient to save its life.
He was monitored and
cared for all night until
he was dropped off to
us Saturday morning.
Even though it was a
weekend with less staff
rostered on, I knew
Tinker couldn’t wait
until Monday for surgical
repair. His lovely, worried
owners wanted for us to do “everything”
we could to ensure Tinker came home.
That’s where our outstanding team need
to be greatly commended, because
regardless if any of them had plans that
night, they all, without me asking, stayed
late to ensure the best possible care
and attention was given to a critically ill
patient.
Tinker was anaesthetized, his skull
was radiographed and I repaired his
mandibular jaw fracture with wire and his
hard pelate injury. He had a massive gnash
under his chin that required suturing and
he had several broken teeth. A feeding
tube was placed in his oesophagus to
enable us and his owners to feed him
post operatively. Cats with fractured jaws
can take weeks to eat on their own. Steve
was called in to assess his eyes as they
were completely closed over and I wasn’t
sure whether he had retinal injuries, lens
or corneal damage.
Luckily Steve felt
there was no ocular
damage, just a lot of
bruising and facial
swelling.
Tinker was managed
intensively over the
coming week, his
days spent with our
hospital nurses and
nights at the After
Hours. He needed
everything done
for him from feeding six
times a day, loads of medications to be
given, his face washed and he needed
grooming as he couldn’t do this for
himself. His owners
visited him daily and
he really loved their
visits. He was the
perfect patient to treat
– he was stoic, obliging
and grateful.
Tinker was a FULL
TEAM effort and I’m so
pleased to report he’s
home now, lounging
on beds, walking
around his section,
able to groom himself
and even eating a
little on his own. Steve
and I couldn’t do the
job we do without the
dedicated, caring staff
we have.
A fantastic outcome
and even though
Tinker looks a little
facially different now,
his owners report they have their “old”
friend back.

Don’t leave the
kitchen when cooking
• Mark Thomas
– Fire Risk Management Officer
IT’S BEEN a while since I’ve talked
about cooking fires in kitchens but there
were five of these this week including a
couple that caused quite considerable
damage and inevitably one that resulted
in ambulance treatment for the house
occupant from smoke inhalation.
As always the advice is the same. Don’t
leave the kitchen when you’re cooking on
the stove top.
If you are cooking with fat or oil have
the lid of the pan, an oven tray or a
breadboard always available to slap on
the top if the worst happens and flames
appear.
A quick fix with no ongoing problems
or a kitchen on fire with the weeks of
inconvenience that involves. It should be
a no-brainer really, shouldn’t it?
A number of quite odd fire calls
featured this week. A fish smoker was
found on fire in Barrington Park. A
distraught Mum was attended to in
Addington where she had locked herself
out of the house with two toddlers inside.
A lady rang for help because she had
found a mouse in her laundry. A crew
were called to accident and emergency
the hospital to help a young woman
whose finger was somehow struck fast in a
doorknob.
Finally, we had a call to a car fire at

In harmony for last time
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
TWO EASTERN schools
celebrated a last musical hurrah
before one will close its doors
forever.
It was a bittersweet ending
to May, New Zealand’s Music
Month, for Chisnallwood Intermediate
School and Avondale
Primary School, as it was the
last time they would ever sing
together.
Chisnallwood and Avondale
joined forces on Friday to sing,
as they have done for the past
five years. But this time was
different.
Avondale is closing at the end
of the year to make way for the
new super school being built on
the site of Aranui High School,
Haeata Community Campus.
The two schools celebrated
their last chance to collaborate,
by singing the annual Hook,
Line and Singalong competition’s
winning song, We are
Aotearoa.
The competition was set up by
the New Zealand Music Commission
for schools to submit
original songs for judging. The
winning tune was recorded by
its Auckland-based creators in a
professional studio.
Chisnallwood’s head of music
Judith Bell said the two eastern

schools have sang each year’s
competition-winning song for
the past five years.
“We have had a tradition for
the last few years of combining
Chisnallwood with Avondale to
celebrate New Zealand Music
Month by singing the winning
song together. Almost 1000
voices singing along with ukuleles,”
she said.
Mrs Bell said Chisnallwood
had decided this year they
would turn the singing into a
school house competition, with
each house’s rendition being
judged.
“When we hosted the New
Zealand Ukulele Trust’s development
squad, one of the girls
in that squad learned that week
that she’d won. So she performed
We are Aotearoa to the
school. Then we took the group
to Avondale and they sang it
there too,” she said.
She said this year was particularly
special to the two schools,
as it would be the last time they
could perform together.
“This year’s event is especially
significant because it is the
last year we can do this with
Avondale Primary as they
close at the end of the year,” she
said.
In Brief
DRIVER HURT IN CRASH
A teenage driver was taken to
hospital with moderate injuries
after a car crash in Avonside last
week. The crash happened on
Avonside Dr on Wednesday. St
John was alerted at 11.20am.
MODEL CLUB OPENED
A club in New Brighton recently
celebrated its first public event,
and plan to expand further
into Rawhiti Domain. The New
Brighton Radio Controlled Car
Club was set up by Phillip Cossar
earlier in the year, but was only
opened to the public earlier this
month. The first event took place
on Sunday. The club was set up
with funding and help from the
Rawhiti Community Sports Inc
and the city council who have
given the group some land at
Rawhiti Domain. Mr Cossar said
he hopes the radio controlled
car club could be the first step in
creating a hobby park that could
include a lake for radio controlled
boats, and somewhere to
fly radio controlled planes.
NEW PLANS
Residents can now finally have
a look at the first design of the
Eastern Recreation and Sports
Centre. Concept designs were
released on Friday by the city
council, and are available at

Ruth Gardner
Retired but still involved in community
Ruth Gardner worked
as Volunteering
Canterbury’s
manager for more
than 20 years
until she retired
last month. Fraser
Walker-Pearce
talks to her about
voluntary work after
the earthquakes,
running the show
at wedding
ceremonies, and
living with the
town crier
How long have you been
involved with Volunteering
Canterbury for?
I’ve been involved
with Volunteering Canterbury
for 21 years.
And what have you
achieved in that time?
They weren’t just my achievements,
I was leading a great team
that led a whole group of volunteers
and encouraged volunteering
throughout Canterbury.
How many volunteers did
you get into the community in
your time? Do you know the
number?
Thousands in my time, I
probably couldn’t tell you the
exact number. After the earthquake
there was a lot of informal
volunteering, and it took time to
become more formal again. By
the end of my time there, we were
having a couple hundred volunteers
a month applying.
So who is next in line for your
job?
The organisation has decided
now to have two managers, one
that does marketing outreach,
and she’s been there for four
years, and there’s a new man that
will be coming in too.
What was some of the work
you got involved with because
of the earthquake?
RECOGNITION: Mayor Lianne Dalziel spoke at Ruth Gardner’s retirement function to recognise
her work for Volunteering Canterbury over 21 years.
Well we had a lot to do with
clearing liquefaction off the
streets with the help of volunteers,
the Student Volunteer
Army and the Farmy Army. We
made sure those people that
needed help got it.
How many people are involved
in Volunteering Canterbury?
There are only two paid workers
full time, but there is another
group of about 10 who help out
voluntarily. They do store work,
accounting, PR work, stores or
expos, website, trust board, all
kinds of things, whenever we
needed something we knew
where to find those people.
Wow, sounds like you’ve had
some busy days?
It was always busy, always
varied, and there was always
something different every day. It
keeps you on your toes.
Did you still feel like that at
the end of your 21 years?
Yes, absolutely, I still feel like
that, I had just had enough of full
time work, so now I’m able to do
other things which is great.
Oh that’s good then. What do
you do in your spare time now?
I still actually do a bit of voluntary
work, I chair the residents
committee in the Avon Loop,
and that’s with a lovely bunch of
people too. At the moment we’re
working hard to rebuild a local
community centre. There’s seven
on that committee, and others
help around the place. I’ve been
involved for quite a long time.
But since the earthquake the need
has become different for a lot
of communities. We also have a
community cottage that we maintain
and rent out.
With Volunteering Canterbury
did your role change after
the earthquake to more of an
emergency recovery mode?
Yes it did, in fact we had to put
some of our policies to the side
after earthquake. Because there
were urgent things that had to
happen right away, and a lot of
informal volunteering took place.
It was also a bit difficult in terms
of health and safety with people
going around those dangerous
chimneys.
Are you from Christchurch?
I’ve been here for 30 years
and I was also brought up here,
so I’ve spent more than half
my life here, but I was born in
Auckland. I went to St Albans
Primary School, and then
back to Auckland when I was
about 10, and lived there for 20
something years, but now I love
Christchurch and I wouldn’t
leave.
Oh that’s good to hear! What
high school did you go to?
Epsom Grammar in Auckland.
I don’t have a degree but I did
feminist studies at Canterbury
University and a bit of study at
the polytechnic. And I’m actually
a celebrant too, with the certificate
and everything.
Wow, you’re qualified all over
the show.
Well, when you’re in the voluntary
sector you never know what
will come in handy, and what
different skills are useful.
And now that you’ve retired
from Volunteering Canterbury,
do you plan to do a bit more
with your celebrant’s certificate?
Oh yes, absolutely. Now that
I’m retired I’m hoping to do more
celebrants work.
Do you know how many weddings
you’ve done?
Oh, I really don’t know. I’d say
about 100 weddings, but a lot
fewer since the earthquakes. But
I’m hoping now to have more
time to do more weddings. I’m
also a keen blogger, I write about
anything that’s going on around
here, and anything to do with the
central city. I’ve been doing that
for 10 years, and I have more than
1000 followers, which has taken a
long time. But that’s on realruth.
wordpress.com if you wanted to
have a look.
Very good, I definitely will.
What are some other hobbies?
I enjoy my garden and I write
poetry. I write mainly rhyming
poetry, I joined a group of
women poets, and I like to walk
and relax with friends.
And are you married with
kids?
Yes, I’m married and two adult
daughters who both live in England.
Both near London, one is a
lawyer and one is an IT manager.
They’ve done very well, yes.
And does your husband work
still?
Yes, he does – he’s actually the
town crier. It makes for some

Choir’s heartfelt tribute
• By Tom Doudney
A TIGHT-KNIT choir
group have recorded a
song for the funeral of
a terminally ill former
member now living in
the Netherlands.
Women in Harmony
recorded East
Timorese hymn Ita
Hotu Maromak Nia
Povo We Are God’s
People at the request
of Dorien Pel who is
dying of cancer.
Ms Pel was a long
time member of the
choir up until about
six years ago when she
first developed
cancer.
When her house
was damaged in the
September 2010
earthquake, she
moved back to her
country of birth, the Netherlands,
for what was supposed to
be six months.
But the stay ended up becoming
permanent.
In spite of surgery, the cancer
had returned and Ms Pel
was already planning her funeral
in the Netherlands when she
returned to Christchurch for a
visit in December and January.
Choir member Judi Smitheram
said choir members had met Ms
HARMONY: Choir member Dorien Pel, standing with red scarf, fifth from
left, with the choir in 2007.
Pel at a social gathering and sang
together again.
“Dorien was wonderful at
always bringing poetry to our
gatherings and she had written
a poem especially for us,” Ms
Smitheram said.
It was during this visit that
Ms Pel asked if they would
record the song, which the choir
had not performed in more than
eight years.
The choir sourced a recording
of the song from Australia’s
Radio National station to help
them go over it and get the
pronunciation right, as the words
are in the Tetum language.
After recording it, they sent it
to Ms Pel.
“We got a lovely note back
from Dorien saying how much
she appreciated it and she was
very moved,” Ms Smitheram
said.
Women in Harmony has
about 20 members from around
Christchurch.
Tradesmen off
to national skills
competition
• By Matt Salmons
TWO TRADIES will put
their skills to the test when
they represent Canterbury
in the national WorldSkills
competition later this year.
Marshland welder Liam
Robertson, of the Lyttelton Engineering
company, and Spreydon
plumber Jesse Pitts, of On
Tap Plumbing, won their places
after completing two challenges
tailored to their trades.
The pair, both 19, will travel
to Hamilton for the national
competition from September 29
to October 2. Both are alumni
of the Ara Institute of Canterbury.
Here they will be competing
for a place in New Zealand’s
WorldSkills team, the Tool
Blacks. The national team is set
to compete in the international
WorldSkills competition in Abu
Dhabi in 2017.
Mr Robertson was tested on
his welding abilities and Mr Pitt
on making piping using different
materials. They were judged
on speed, planning accuracy,
ability to use materials and tools
and the quality of their finished
products.
Ara plumbing tutor and
judge of the plumbing competition
Blair Maguire said all the
competitors were reasonably
even, and the final decision
might come down to one point.
The international WorldSkills
competition is run every two
years. It pits young men and
women from all over the world
against each other in a competition
of skill based on their
profession, be that plumbing,
carpentry, baking or any of the
more than 40 categories.
Ara tutor and regional
competition facilitator for
plumbing, Ritchie Gorrie, said
WorldSkills was the “Olympics
of trades”.
Mr Gorrie has been to three
international WorldSkills events
and was impressed by the skilllevels
on show and the interest
in the competition internationally.
He said there were about
200,000 spectators in Leipzig,
Germany in 2013, where bricklaying
drew the biggest crowds.
Charity that helps most vulnerable falls on tough times
• By Tom Doudney
A LOCAL trust which acts as a
problem solver for vulnerable,
disadvantaged and struggling
people around New Zealand
said it is in urgent need of
funding.
SigJaws Trust helps people in
a variety of ways, from lobbying
for retention of services, suggesting
changes to legislation,
finding work and housing and
promoting innovations.
However, project manager
Gary Watts (right), who founded
SigJaws in 2001, said the
trust had been struggling
financially for some time
and needed more funding
to carry on.
The trust’s operating
expenses were “conservatively”
about $207,000
a year and while it had
enough to carry on over the next
six months, finding new funding
was a big challenge.
“We have got over 200 clients
now that we are dealing with on
a day to day basis and a
lot of these people have
slipped through other systems
big time,” Mr Watts
said.
“We always struggle
to get resources. I don’t
think people even realise
what we do half the time
but we do some amazing things.”
One of its recent projects has
included working with Canterbury
University to develop a
robotic arm which would allow
mobility-impaired drivers to
fill up at petrol stations without
leaving the car.
The trust had received funding
from organisations including the
Ministry of Social Development,
the Rotary Club of Christchurch
and The Lion Foundation within
the last year.
However, it had been unsuccessful
in seeking funding from
the Red Cross, the Canterbury
Community Trust and the city
council.
“If our funding dries up it’s
just impossible to carry on,” Mr
Watts said.
SigJaws Trust board member
Jamie Hoffman, who has cerebral
palsy said Mr Watts had been
pivotal in helping him find suitable
accommodation after the
earthquakes.
“People just don’t realise how
much good he does out there,”
Mr Hoffman said.

Rugby league more
than just a game
New
Zealand
Rugby
League
general
manager
for the
southern
zone Steve
Martin talks about the
popularity of league in
the eastern suburbs.
The extremely successful
visit to Christchurch by
the Penrith Panthers NRL
side and the New Zealand
Warriors, shows what an
appetite Cantabrians have for
rugby league.
To sell out AMI Stadium,
the former home of rugby
league in Canterbury and the
scene of many past historic
encounters, was a superb feat.
The community was well
served by the high level of
engagement undertaken by
the two teams in the time that
they were in the city. A huge
number of young people were
able to interact with the stars
of the game.
The programme, delivered
to schools across the city,
was very well received and
continued the theme of rugby
league being ‘more than just
a game’.
Sport can be a catalyst for
many positive outcomes for
communities and individuals
alike. Rugby league has
shown that it is a game that
cares about its people and
their health and well being.
The environment for
delivery of opportunities to
play the game has improved
immensely with a variety
of measures that have been
undertaken.
Rugby league has fought
to shrug off the negative tag
which it has often been given.
And with events such as the
Panthers and Warriors game,
the prospect of a new home
for rugby league was created.
With the potential for
a team from Canterbury
being involved in an NRL
competition, and the chance
for there to be a Rugby
League World Cup fixture
in Christchurch next year,
the future has never looked
brighter.
The challenge facing the
sport is the same as that of
all sports, finding volunteers
prepared to take on the many
key roles that are needed to
run the game at club level
and to coach and manage
teams.
With participation numbers
continuing to rise and interest
high, Canterbury Rugby
League is positioning itself
to provide the best possible
support to those wanting to
be involved in the game.
Rugby league is truly ‘more
than just a game’.
Readers respond to a recent
article on proposed godwit
sculptures being installed into an
area of ‘no-man’s land.’
Bon Suter – I love the idea of the
sculpture on no-man’s land. Seems
very fitting to me.
S Coleshill – What is it with
some residents of New Brighton and
Southshore in regards to the godwit
plan?
Five years have passed, surely our
priority is the rebuild of our shopping
area. Has everyone turned a blind eye
to what is becoming a ghost town?
A mini revolution is needed, but
instead of heads rolling, councillors
and mayoral seats. We need fresh
blood who has the verve and the
tenacity to bring this area back to life.
Who knows, 2022 could well be
when this phoenix rises. But I doubt it.
Readers respond to an article on
smaller buses being installed to
the 135 route from July onwards.
Brian Sandle – Years ago I was
told that peak hours required large
buses and it would be a waste of
investment to have them sitting idle
while smaller buses were used for
lower volume times.
We should promote bus use and
the coastal areas should be setting an
example as they are under a global
warming threat more.
The city council is in charge of
stopping positions and I have asked
them to do a crime prevention
through environmental design study
on where the stops are placed.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel wants to take
PEGASUS POST
over the routes, too. Who would use
buses more if stops were placed in the
busy, lit area between Countdown
and the New Brighton Club?
Norah Southorn – It was very
pleasing to read of the introduction of
the Red Bus service being introduced
on four routes in the eastern suburbs.
However, it would be even more
pleasing, if this service could be
expanded to the Dallington and
North Linwood areas as well.
The people of North Linwood
and Avonside areas have no bus
service other than the Orbiter, and
Dallington has a rather limited
service, the number 44.
I travel the full length of this
service regularly and find it a rather
epic journey on an extremely long
and tortuous route, the buses old and
rattling.
If the route could be altered to
continue over the Dallington bridge
down into North Linwood and
Avonside, and the Shirley loop cut
out or incorporated into another
service, it would attract more users.
If this was done using the small
new buses, I think the patronage
would greatly increase.
As it is, travelling on the number
44 bus is quite an unpleasant
experience and I can understand
people not wanting to use it.

Big sports gear give to school
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
A four week campaign asking
people to donate their old sports
equipment has ended with bins
full of gear being given to Shirley
Intermediate School.
The Westpac branch at The
Palms Shopping Centre last
month set up a container in
store, asking customers to bring
in their used sporting gear for a
good cause.
It was a drive from the iSport
Foundation, led by former All
Blacks Ali Williams, Richie
McCaw and Dan Carter, aiming
to get more sports gear into
Canterbury schools.
Westpac, The Palms, branch
manager Mark Jenkins said
the bank got on board with the
iSport Foundation’s drive.
“Westpac, about a month ago,
decided to ask customers for
any old sports gear they weren’t
using anymore and bring it into
the branch. We had a great big
poster of Richie McCaw asking
them to bring stuff in. I think
that got most people’s attention,”
he said.
Mr Jenkins said the first week
of collection was quiet, but soon
a bin had “overflowed”, so others
were brought in.
After about a month, the
“six or seven bin” haul was gifted
to Shirley Intermediate, just
across the road from The Palms,
and was gratefully accepted.
NEW GEAR: Shirley Intermediate’s Ben Cox and Lucy
Cook-Darke from room 2 show off some of the new equipment
with Westpac, The Palms, branch manager Mark Jenkins.
Shirley Intermediate principal
Geoff Siave said the generosity
of the bank was “just fantastic”.
“There was cricket gear, football
gear, hockey gear, football
and rugby boots, tennis racquets,
hockey sticks, swimming gear,
bike helmets, a scooter or two,
and balls of all shapes and sizes.
It’s just fantastic for us,” he said.
Mr Siave said sports teacher
Kyle Anglesey already had plans
for the new equipment.
“The sports teacher said he
will use some of it for his classes.
But he also said he will be giving
some equipment to specific kids
who need it. So he’s told kids to
come in and see him for equipment,
for things like boots for
their sports if they don’t have
any,” he said.
SCHOOLS
CROSS COUNTRY: Blue, gold, red, and green could all be
seen dashing through Shirley Boys’ High School last week
during their annual cross country event. On Monday afternoon,
runners dressed in their house colours, ran along the back
of the Shirley Village to the Averill St gate, before taking the
western North Parade footpath to the library gate. They went
along the football and rugby field boundary to the finish.

Club day celebration
By Gordon Findlater
SHIRLEY BOYS’ High celebrated
their annual club day in style.
On Saturday, all of the Shirley’s
school teams took to the field at
their home ground.
The first IV took the limelight
staying unbeaten in the UC
Championship, defeating Burnside
19-5.
The home side had the best of
the early going. Shirley first-five
Jackson Taylor continued his
fine form with the boot knocking
over two penalties to stay
amongst the top points scorers in
the competition.
Nathan Koolen grabbed the
first try twenty-six minutes
into the game, finishing a wellworked
move in the corner
before Jackson calmly converted
the toughest of his four successful
kicks, taking his points tally
past 40 for the season.
Ill-discipline snuck its way
into the second half of the game
with both team dropping down
to 14 men towards the end of the
game. Burnside centre
Mike Ravalawa had been sinbinned
for repeated dangerous
play, he would return with less
than a minute of the game to
play. However, he crossed the
line to get a late consolation try
for his side.
The next test for Shirley has
them travel south to tackle Timaru
Boys’ High who will be fresh
after a bye.
PEGASUS POST
READY TO PLAY: Shirley prepare for battle against Burnside,
last year’s finalists remain unbeaten in this year’s UC Championship.
HOMETOWN HEROES: Year 5 and 6 pupils from Queenspark School attended a Crusaders training
last week and got to meet some of their heroes. Crusaders first five-eighth Richie Mo’unga
(pictured) sat down and had a picture with Noah Barrett and Manaia Wharepapa (right) after their
training session at Rugby Park. The Crusaders will take on the Chiefs in July after the international
rugby window passes.

Reading to Dogs
Every Tuesday, 3.30-4.30pm
Reading aloud is critical when
children are learning. However,
many children have difficulties
reading and become self conscious
when reading in front of
their peers. Libraries and schools
around the world have found
that by sitting down and reading
to a friendly dog, a child’s fear of
being judged or laughed at ‘over
mistakes’ disappears. Bookings
are essential, phone 03 941 7923

Tips for untreated
hearing loss
Hearing is a sense that many of us
take for granted. Throughout our lives, we
subject our ears to loud sounds–music,
power tools, lawn mowers, air travel–
without using ear protection. regrettably,
this can cause hearing loss. also, the
natural aging process generally results
in hearing loss. even certain illnesses
and medications can adversely affect our
hearing. Unfortunately, hearing loss that
occurs from such causes is permanent.
The good news is, even if you already
have a little hearing loss, it’s never too
late to preserve your hearing for the
years ahead. The first thing you can do is
protect your ears in noisy environments.
also, avoid using cotton swabs to clean
your ears. and, make it a priority to get
a baseline hearing screening to see if
hearing loss has already occurred.
if hearing loss is found during your
hearing evaluation, it could be due to
excess ear wax or infection. This type of
hearing loss is reversible. if hearing loss
stems from chronic exposure to loud
noise, aging, or certain illnesses and
medications, hearing aids are the best way
to preserve your good hearing.
The great news about today’s hearing
aids is how small and easy to wear they
are. Modern digital hearing aids use
super-tiny microprocessor technology–
making them virtually invisible when
worn. Hearing aids can help almost all
degrees of hearing loss–from a little to a
lot. and, by stimulating your brain with
sound that might not otherwise reach it,
hearing aids help keep your brain active,
which lowers your risk for cognitive
diseases, such as dementia.
if you suspect you may have hearing
loss, don’t ignore it. neglecting a hearing
loss can have a snowball effect–making it
grow bigger, faster than necessary.
Here are 10 ways you can limit hearing
damage and preserve good hearing:
1. Understand the sound levels of the
noises in your environment.
2. Learn about proper ear protection.
There are many kinds on the market
today, ranging from custom ear molds to
foam plugs and more.
3. Put physical distance between you
and loud noise when it is present. if
possible, stand at an angle from the noise,
not directly in front of it.
4. Take breaks when you are exposed
to noise.
5. When listening to music through
headphones or earbuds, keep the volume
low-to-medium.
6. Know the signs of hearing loss, and
measure yourself against them.
7. schedule a baseline hearing
evaluation. Hearing loss is on the rise
among Baby Boomers and young people.
it’s never too early to get your hearing
checked, but don’t wait past age 50.
8. Have your hearing evaluated by a
professional licensed by your state.
9. if you have hearing loss caused by a
reversible condition, take steps to
correct it.
10. if any permanent hearing loss is
diagnosed, choose hearing aids to slow it
down, and preserve good hearing.
it’s never too early to get your
hearing checked, but don’t wait
past age 50.

Broken-hearted to leave
21 Highpeak Place, Halswell
Auction: June 9, 2016 (unless sold prior)
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 2 living rooms |1 dining room | 2-car garage | 3 off-street parks | Listing #: BE192595
But it is time to make a change and
leave this spacious happy home
of many years. You won’t want to
miss out on this opportunity in the
boutique subdivision of Broken Run. The
cul-de-sac location is desirably tranquil, and
this immaculately presented home will be a
delight to view.
Step into the entrance way and then onto
the large well-appointed kitchen with quality
Smeg appliances and large oven. The dining
and family room are very spacious and have
vaulted ceilings. The separate formal lounge
with a cosy gas fire and family room have
bifold doors that open onto the manicured
garden, a wonderful prospect for summer
entertaining. The master bedroom also opens
as well to the garden - perhaps time for a
coffee and croissant in the morning before the
day begins? The ensuite is unusually large, a
rare find in modern homes, and the family
bathroom certainly does not lack in size as
well. Two further double bedrooms and a
large single will safely house the family and
guests.
The home is double glazed, fully insulated,
has two heat pumps, a gas fire and under floor
heating in the tiled kitchen and bathrooms.
A larger than normal double garage with
trailer door to the backyard completes the
deal in this very spacious home.
Don’t delay; this lovely home must be sold
on or before auction day to let my vendors
move on to the next stage of their life.
