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

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 

Snickers.” 

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 

bar’s motto is: ‘You’re not you when

Still friends after 66 years 


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. 

“Make the most of every 

BEST 

FRIENDS: 

The old 

girls still 

catch up 

every two 

or three 

months at 

age 80.

friend that you have, they’re so

them,” she said. 

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. 

Dr Michele McMaster 

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 


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 

IN TIME: Avondale Primary School and Chisnallwood Intermediate School combined for the 

last time to celebrate NZ Music Month. 

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

PEGASUS POST 

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 

interesting conversations for sure. 

He’s originally from England, but 

he’s been doing that for about 26 

years. He started five years before 

me, to the day. He’s very keen to 

keep doing that. 

Where in the city are you 

based? 

We’re in one of the remaining 

little old cottages in the Avon 

Loop now.

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 


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.

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

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.
