GREAT RANGE

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce 

A MASSIVE cash injection from 

the Rata Foundation has given 

the green light for a community 

sports hub to go ahead in 

Parklands. 

The foundation has announced 

a $400,000 building grant to 

allow the sports hub to progress 

next month. 

The hub, which will include 

indoor and outdoor facilities, 

sports courts and bowling 

greens, is set to be built on the 

site of the Parklands Bowling 

Club, and is a joint venture 

between the bowling club and 

the Parklands Rugby Football 

Club, with support from the 

Ministry of Education. 

The grant will cover about a 

quarter of the overall cost, with 

the rest coming through other 

grants and donations, the clubs 

hope. 

The costs are associated with 

the relocation, placement, 

wiring and plumbing of the two 

buildings. It is expected to cost 

about $1.5 million in total. 

Stage one of the process 

will see the relocation of two 

buildings from the former 

Freeville School to the bowling 

club on Chadbury St. They will 

act as a club house and sports 

hall in the facility. 

A joint project committee 

GO AHEAD: An estimated $1.5 million will need to be spent on this Parklands community sports hub. But that figure has been made 

easier with a $400,000 grant from the Rata Foundation. 

has been created to take care of 

the sports hub’s progress, and 

is made up of bowling club and 

rugby club members. 

Sports that could be played at 

the completed facility include 

bowls, petanque, futsal, basketball, 

netball and indoor bowls. 

Parklands Bowling Club vice 

president Wayne Eden said 

now that the funding has been 

granted, the clubs can start to 

put timelines in place. 

“We’ve got a bit of 

funding and stage one is 

looking likely to go ahead 

in February or March. 

We’ve got the consents, 

now we have to get the 

foundations down before 

the first of the buildings 

arrive,” he said. 

The bowling club’s greens were 

badly affected in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. The 

pavilion building was 

damaged beyond repair. 

Joint project committee 

chairman Maurice Lawlor 

(left) said the project 

was unique to the area 

because it was “conceived 

by the community, for the 

community, in response 

to real community needs.” 

Work on the foundations is 

set to begin next month, and the 

two Freeville School buildings 

will be moved on-site before the 

end of next month. 

The clubs are looking for 

financial support to keep the 

project on track.

EDITOR’S 

DESK News...................................... 3-9 

GREAT NEWS for the Parklands 

area on page 1 today. 

The Rata Foundation has 

granted $400,000 to the planned 

new sports hub, almost a third of 

what will be needed to fund the 

project. 

The eastern suburbs are in dire 

need of facilities and a sports hub 

in what was a fast growing area 

has been desperately needed in 

Parklands for many years. 

But not so good news on page 3 

today. 

The vandals have struck at 

both Aranui High and Wainoni 

schools, and security is now in 

place to thwart the usual school 

holiday arsonists. 

So if you’re a teenager in the 

east, grow up and give the schools 

a break. Start kicking a football 

around or train hard in the boxing 

ring instead. You’ll find a potential 

future professional sports career is 

far more rewarding than jail.

School security beefed up 


EASTERN SCHOOLS slated for 

demolition have extra security 

on-site in response to fears of 

arson. 

Specialist fire investigator 

Bruce Irvine said the Ministry 

of Education had concerns over 

the safety of the empty sites, and 

are working with the Fire Service 

and security firms to ensure 

they do not become targets. 

Aranui, Avondale and 

Wainoni primary schools, as 

well as Aranui High, have closed 

down to make way for Haeata 

Community Campus, which is 

set to open on February 3. 

The extra 

security follows 

vandalism attacks 

at both 

Aranui High and 

Wainoni schools. 

Aranui High 

was hit just a week after it closed 

down for good last month. 

A number of windows were 

smashed, buildings tagged and 

construction equipment on-site 

was vandalised and tagged. 

Wainoni was hit by vandals 

this month. It also had a 

number of windows smashed, 

some of which have since been 

boarded over. 

A Ministry of Education 

SECURITY ISSUE?: The four schools that closed to make way for Haeata Community 

Campus have had their security questioned after a vandalism attack on Aranui High and 

Wainoni schools recently. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

spokesman said the likely future 

of both Wainoni and Aranui 

High schools was demolition. 

Meanwhile, in the long term, 

Avondale would likely be used 

by Chisnallwood Intermediate 

and Aranui Primary could be 

used as a community or education 

facility. 

Mr Irvine (left) said the 

ministry and the Fire Service 

are working together in closed 

schools around the city to mitigate 

potential vandalism and 

arson targets. 

Haeata Community Campus 

principal Andy Kai Fong said 

he is confident the threat of 

vandalism or arson will be kept 

at bay leading up to the school 

opening. 

“The reality is that any school 

is at risk [of vandalism]. Any 

building in Christchurch is at 

risk I guess. I’m confident the 

team will have taken all the 

necessary precautions though,” 

he said. 

He said any demolition site 

becomes a target for vandals. 

Former Aranui Primary 

School principal Mike Allen 

said he had no concerns over 

the security of both Haeata and 

Aranui Primary. 

“The school [Aranui Primary] 

is still going to be used this 

year. St James School is moving 

in there temporarily, so it’s being 

maintained and there is a 

caretaker still on-site . . . there’s 

no more [concern] than usual,” 

he said. 

Mr Allen said in his time as 

principal at the school, he had 

seen no major graffiti or vandalism. 

“There was actually less graffiti 

there than at others [schools] 

I’ve been at. There is a lot of 

respect for the school in the 

community . . . I would think 

Haeata would be [treated] the 

same,” he said. 

In Brief 

TROUBLESOME TREE SAGA 

Plane trees in Westhaven are 

still causing residents trouble 

even after the city council took 

action. In October last year, 

residents Russell Hamilton 

and Graham Crow asked the 

Burwood-Pegasus Community 

Board for help with the trees on 

their properties. They said the 

roots were growing up through 

the pavement, causing a trip 

hazard for elderly residents. Four 

months on, the city council has 

resurfaced the pavement for the 

sixth time in 18 years. However, 

Mr Hamilton said the roots 

were already beginning to break 

through the pavement again. 

ROAD REPAIRS 

North Pde in Richmond will 

undergo repairs for the next 

three weeks. The repairs, 

between Averill St and number 

136 North Pde, have been started 

to replace the earthquakedamaged 

road surface. The road 

surface repairs are being carried 

out by the Stronger Christchurch 

Infrastructure Rebuild Team, 

which has also repaired sections 

of the footpath, kerb and road 

channelling along North Pde 

since mid-2015. Traffic will be 

one-way between Averill St 

and 136 North Pde until about 

January 30.

Church rebuild under way 


THE PARISH, which has some 

of the city’s forefathers buried 

in its cemetery, is about to be 

rebuilt. 

The Holy Trinity Avonside 

Church was badly damaged in 

the February 22, 2011, earthquake 

and services were moved 

to a small wooden building 

onsite, formerly used as the 

Sunday school hall. 

After meeting with architects 

last month, the likely $1 million 

rebuild of the parish is now 

under way, with money likely to 

come from insurance, said Holy 

Trinity Avonside vicar Reverend 

Jill Keir. 

“It’s quite exciting times. I feel 

like we’re on the brink of something 

very exciting,” she said. 

At the church’s cemetery, 

Canterbury’s first and second 

superintendents James Edward 

Fitzgerald and William Sefton 

Moorhouse are buried, as well 

as the fourth superintendent 

William Rolleston. 

The rebuild will see the 

church building up and running 

by next year, she said. 

Rev Keir said the rebuild 

BIG WIN: Coupland’s Bakeries 

managing director Lance 

Coupland presents the keys 

of a new Volkswagen Polo to 

Louisa Sinclair, the winner of a 

Coupland’s competition. While 

Mrs Sinclair, 34, described the 

win as an “amazing Christmas 

present”, she will be trading the 

car valued at $25,000 to support 

a trip to her homeland, Northern 

Ireland, next April. Living in 

Dunedin for the past seven 

years, Mrs Sinclair, her husband 

and two daughters will travel to 

Bangor for the first time since 

she moved to New Zealand. Mrs 

Sinclair won the competition 

through Coupland’s Bakeries at 

Andersons Bay, South Dunedin. 

She said the bakery is a regular 

stop for milk and thickly sliced 

white bread, while her favourites 

from the bakery are citrus 

truffles. 


BRIGHT FUTURE: Holy Trinity Avonside Reverend Jill Keir 

says the rebuild of the church will be completed by next 

year. 


would be up and running by 

2018. 

She said exciting times were 

ahead for the church and its 40 

weekly parishioners. 

Since the earthquakes the 

church has put on more programmes 

and activities such 

as a free lunch each month, 

exercise programmes and extra 

study groups. 

The church is also looking to 

find a part-time gardener, which 

would be a paid role, to tend to 

its heritage garden which surrounds 

the cemetery. 

Mrs Keir said the garden is 

a place for the community to 

spend time in, not just to visit 

relatives. 

“It really serves the community, 

they spend hours in 

there, they do all sorts of things 

– walk the dog, the kids play 

there. Even though it’s owned 

by the church a lot of people 

visit each week,” she said. 

“Yes we have lots of the city 

forefathers there – the likes 

of Fitzgerald, Moorhouse and 

Mountford. Lots of the very 

early people in the city,” Rev 

Keir said. 

The appointed gardener 

would tend to the heritage 

garden as well as the church’s 

community garden, which 

grows fruit and vegetables for 

local residents. 

“Gardens don’t sit still. We 

need someone who can oversee 

it and work in the garden as well 

as with a small group of volunteers,” 

she said. 

For more information on the 

vacant gardener position, phone 

the church on 389 6948. 

Community 

centre one 

step closer 

to opening 


THE BRIDGE South Brighton 

Trust is one step closer to 

completing its goal of creating a 

self-sufficient community centre 

thanks to a grant from the Rata 

Foundation. 

The trust received a $225,000 

grant from Rata to go towards 

fitting out the centre, on the corner 

of Bridge St and Estuary Rd. 

The trust’s chairwoman Jane 

Harrison said the grant was the 

perfect way to start the new year. 

“We’re absolutely thrilled . . . 

when you get that kind of support, 

a lot of other funders want to get 

on board too,” she said. 

The building received $150,000, 

from SmartLift, to level the 

foundations. 

Phase one of the process was to 

purchase the building, a former 

church, which Ms Harrison said is 

almost complete. 

“That’s almost settled now. It’s 

just the lawyers trying to get the 

last parts sorted . . . there’s just a 

bit of earthquake strengthening to 

go, and the consents, and then we 

can start to fit it out,” she said. 

Following the consents being 

granted, Ms Harrison said the 

funds from Rata would go towards 

“setting up the cafe, the community 

kitchen, courtyard, fitting out the 

hall and performance venue – 

basically turning it from a hall to a 

building.” 

Ms Harrison said the grant not 

only gave confidence to those 

involved with the trust, but also 

to outside contributors and 

funders. 

“It gives a lot of confidence to 

the city council and other funders, 

and to a lot of community groups 

too. We’re thrilled with Rata’s 

help,” she said. 

Ms Harrison said the trust had 

received “lots of offers” from local 

tradesmen to get involved with 

the project and had offered lower 

rates for their services.

Crummer looking forward to reunion 

Annie Crummer found 

fame with hits such as 

Language and See What 

Love Can Do. She spoke 

to Tom Doudney about 

working on new material 

and seeing dyslexia 

as a blessing, ahead 

of her performance 

with Debbie Harwood, 

Margaret Urlich and 

Sharon O’Neill at 

Lincoln’s Selwyn Sounds 

concert in March 

IT HAS been a long time since 

we’ve heard anything new from 

Annie Crummer but the singer 

is hopeful her fans won’t have to 

wait too much longer. 

Crummer hasn’t released a full 

album of original material since 

1996’s Seventh Wave. Since then 

fans have had to make do with 

a best of collection in 2002 and 

three songs released in 2010 as 

singles only. 

While she is reluctant to talk 

about release dates, she has been 

working on songs for an album 

which has a working title of Project 

Annie C. 

“I have got a bunch of songs 

that I am dying to get out of the 

demo situation and get into the 

studio and smash that stuff out, 

I’m the only one stopping me,” 

she said. 

“I’ve got a lot more to say musically, 

I will just have to get over 

myself and get on with it.” 

Crummer said that while she 

was known more as a singer than 

a songwriter, she had become 

more confident dabbling in song 

writing. 

“Melodies come really good to 

me but the way I write lyrics is 

quite odd because I am fully dyslexic 

so the way I explain things, 

I don’t think it’s the same as a 

non-dyslexic song writer.” 

Crummer only discovered she 

was dyslexic well into her adult 

years but the revelation came as a 

big relief. 

“When I look back I think: ‘Oh, 

I have been blessed with dyslexia, 

that’s all.’ I just learn things differently,” 

she said. 

“I forgave myself for feeling 

so dumb all these years because 

I left school really early and 

now when I look back at all the 

subjects I took it had nothing to 

do with anything technical, it all 

had to do with creative stuff.” 

Those subjects included 

classes on art, Maori culture and, 

perhaps surprisingly, typing – 

because she could just copy the 

patterns without thinking about 

the words. 

That ability to recognise patterns 

helped her land a leading 

role in the Australian version of 

Ben Elton’s hit musical-theatre 

production We Will Rock You, 

based on the songs of British rock 

band Queen, in 2003. To get the 

part of Killer Queen, Crummer 

had to audition in front of Queen 

guitarist Brian May and drummer 

Roger Taylor. 

“I had to learn the English phonetically 

and that is actually how 

I learn music too, I listen to where 

heart is needed and where anger is 

needed and all the emotions, I just

emulate those inflections without 

really knowing what I am talking 

about, but I have just fooled everyone,” 

she said. 

“I can’t believe I got that role, if 

only they knew how I did it. But 

it did catch up on me a couple of 

times on stage where I’d fumble

and Crummer will perform together at Selwyn Sounds, along 

with Sharon O’Neill (not pictured). 

over a word because I didn’t fully 

understand it and I had to dig my 

way out of it, live.” 

She said that while the way 

dyslexic people figured things out 

might be different, the outcome 

could be incredible. 

Crummer, who lives in 

Auckland, said she loved that 

performing enabled her to travel. 

She always looked forward to 

playing with Harwood, Urlich 

and O’Neill, sometimes joined 

by Shona Laing, with the singers 

typically doing about three or 

four shows together a year. 

She was looking forward to 

reuniting with them for Selwyn 

Sounds. 

“I’m a huge fan of theirs and we 

have the utmost respect for each 

other so it’s a joy all round, a real 

buzz.” 

The concert will also feature 

Kiwi rock heavyweights Mi-Sex, 

Dragon, The Jordan Luck Band 

and Jason Kerrison. 

When she was not performing 

with Harwood and co or 

going solo, she often joined her 

father’s band, Will Crummer 

and the Rarotongans, playing 

songs which mostly sung in Cook 

Island Maori. Crummer took a 

more low key role in the band, 

playing the pahu and putting in 

some occasional backing vocals. 

She didn’t mind stepping back 

from the spotlight and credited 

her father with setting her on the 

path to stardom. 

“He gave me the gift of music,” 

she said. 

“I do count my blessings, that’s 

a daily ritual for me, the fact that 

I can do music and have never 

had a job.” 

•Selwyn Sounds will be held 

on March 4, from 11.30am- 

8.30pm. Tickets can be 

purchased via Ticketek and 

buyers will be able to prepurchase

Shirley BHS backs 

new young coach 

SPORTS 

PEGASUS POST 

• By Gordon Findlater 

ANDY GIBSON has been named 

the new head coach of Shirley 

Boys’ High School’s first XV. 

The 29-year-old will fill the 

void left by former Canterbury 

half-back Allan Lindsay who 

has taken on the head coaching 

role at Pirates in Dunedin after 

coaching Shirley BHS for the past 

three seasons. 

Lindsay lives in Dunedin but 

has been travelling to Shirley 

BHS three times a week for training 

and match days. 

Gibson has previously played 

for Christchurch Boys’ High 

School, High School Old Boys 

and Christchurch. 

He has also quickly established 

a strong coaching CV. His 

experience includes working 

with Christchurch BHS, St 

Andrew’s College, Christchurch 

Metro age group teams and 

Linwood’s division 1 side. 

Gibson also spent two years 

with the Canterbury ITM Cup 

team as an intern and last year 

gained international experience 

at the University of Melbourne. 

Shirley BHS rugby 

administrator John Fox said: 

“From our point of view he 

really impressed. He’s got a good 

coaching history, especially for 

NEW COACH: Andy Gibson will begin a two-year coaching 

stint with the Shirley BHS first XV this year. Gibson is seen here 

being handed the Linwood coach of the year award by Tane 

Norton in 2015. 

someone so young, he’s got into it 

really quickly. He’s coached some 

of our boys in metro teams and 

we got really good feedback from 

there.” 

Shirley BHS have been a top 

team in the UC Championship 

after making back to back grandfinal 

appearances. The secondary 

school were unsuccessful in both 

of their grand-final outings, 

going down 13-32 to St Bede’s 

College in 2015 and 20-21 to 

Christchurch BHS in 2016. 

However, Gibson faces a tough 

task if he is to return Shirley 

BHS to the UC Championship’s 

biggest stage in 2017. 

The majority of last year’s 

squad have left the school, 

including star players Cruz 

Topai-Aveai, Logan Bell and Josh 

Archer. 

“Glenn Beardsley is back for 

his third year and we have about 

10 others who will be coming 

into their second year in the setup, 

but a lot of them have only 

played a game or two last season. 

There are some very good players 

coming back. We might not have 

someone the size of Cruz coming 

back, but I think we have some 

very talented loose forwards that 

can step up,” said Fox. 

Gibson will get his first chance 

to work with the team early 

in the year ahead of the UC 

Championship which begins in 

late April. 

TWO FROM TWO: The North Beach surf boat team have 

continued their perfect start to the national surf boat 

series. The crew won the second round of the series at the 

Whangamata Surf Boat Spectacular earlier this month to 

take a healthy lead in the competition. Last month, they 

won the opening round of the series, winning the Titahi Bay 

Classic. Attention will now be turned to the New Zealand 

Representative Challenge in Waimarama, Hawke’s Bay, this 

weekend. Canterbury teams, including North Beach, will 

compete for national honours with teams and individuals in 

the pool, surf boat, surf canoe, ski, board, swim, beach and 

iron person events competing for points.

Pine bark may support 

brain function 

Recent news from Auckland University 

of Technology has people excited about a 

pine bark extract called Enzogenol. AUT 

reported that patients suffering memory 

loss and other brain problems after a 

traumatic brain injury recovered better 

when taking Enzogenol compared to a 

control group. 

Enzogenol is not a new product, though. 

In fact, it was developed at Canterbury 

University and has been in our health 

food shops for over 10 years. According to 

ENZO Nutraceuticals, the company that 

produces the product, a number of research 

studies have shown how Enzogenol can 

help improve brain function and support 

healthy blood circulation. 

The amazing thing is, it is made from 

the bark of New Zealand Pinus Radiata 

with an extraction method that uses only 

purified water. Apparently, the pine bark 

is full of healthy plant compounds that 

are naturally part of our diet when we eat 

fruits and vegetables. Yet, the pine bark is 

loaded with these natural antioxidant and 

anti-inflammatory compounds and makes 

a great starting material for this health 

product. Keen on a chewing a bit of pine 

bark?

All the benefits of 

double glazing 

Amazing Glazing has been going from 

strength to strength since it’s inception in 

2004. Max Dorfliger who established the 

business that offers specially run mouldings 

of Peninsula macrocarpa to secure a second 

pane of 4mm glass onto existing wooden 

frames, has recently brought Gunter Dehne 

into the business. Gunter, a Cabinetmaker 

by trade and a technology teacher for many 

years, was keen to be back on the tools and 

excited to be adding such value to people’s 

lives. Existing timber joinery is preserved 

while a home is effectively double ‐glazed. 

All the benefits of double ‐glazing like 

insulation, reduced heating cost and 

noise reduction are obtained, without the 

prohibitive cost of complete replacement. 

The insulation of Amazing Glazing is 

better than many standard double glazing 

solutions due to the increased air space 

between the panes. 

The dryer conditions during the summer 

months make this the best time to install 

Amazing Glazing. 

Frames can be oiled for a natural wood 

finish, or painted in the colour of your 

choice, to blend in with the existing look.

Life is better with clearer thinking, sharper mind, healthier brain and body. 

Enzogenol, is a potent natural antioxidant & anti-inflammatory, produced 

from an extract of the New Zealand pine bark. In one study researchers 

concluded it can reduce the average age of the brain by 12 years in as 

little as 5 weeks. Studies show it can improve response time as well as 

long & short term memory, concentration & brain performance. Enzogenol 

also helps protect the body from the aging process, including supporting 

the cardiovascular, nervous system & improving recovery after illness. 

ENZO:PROFESSIONAL contains 240mg of Enzogenol + 30mg Vitamin C.

The importance of 

good blood 

pressure! 

Aspire 

Canterbury 

Blood Pressure is an indicator of 

cardiovascular as well as overall health. 

Healthy blood flow is vital for a healthy 

body as the blood plasma transports 

nutrients, hormones, metabolic waste, 

oxygen and CO2 throughout the body. An 

area in the brain keeps check on blood flow 

to ensure health of all cells and the organs 

they make up. If blood flow is reduced the 

brain will try to normalise blood flow by 

adjusting the heart strength, frequency 

(Pulse Rate) as well as the width of blood 

vessels all via the nervous system. Over 

a period of time the blood pressure may 

keep increasing due to the deterioration 

of blood flow. A higher B/P is not ideal 

and is considered a major risk factor for 

strokes, aneurysm, organ failure and heart 

failure. Even moderate elevation of B/P is 

considered a major reason for shorter life 

expectancy. If we can maintain our B/P in 

the normal range our overall health will be 

improved. Systolic B/P (The upper figure) 

is when the heart contracts and pushes 

blood around the body. Ideally at rest this 

should be between 100 to 120. The diastolic 

B/P (The lower figure) is the pressure in the 

arteries between beats and ideally at rest 

this should be between 60 to 70. 

It has been found in around 90% of 

cases high blood pressure is caused by 

an increase in the resistance to blood 

flow in the blood vessels. It is believed 

inflammation and stiffness of the blood 

vessels are major reasons for this increased 

resistance. Checking our blood pressure on 

a regular basis allows us to adjust our diet 

and lifestyle and see the benefits in our B/P 

readings. 

Blood Pressure monitors and further 

information on how to improve your 

overall health and B/P naturally is

PEGASUS POST 

Your Local Views 

We said: 

A section of New Brighton Rd, 

which underwent repairs for more 

than a year in an attempt to stop 

flooding, has flooded again. How 

long will it take to fix this issue? 

You said: 

William Hutson – It’s tidal . . . it will 

always flood unless you block off stormwater. 

We spent nearly three months after the 

quakes trying to clean up all the silt from 

those pipes . . . it was back the next morning 

every time. 

Jo Zervos – It’s a bloody joke. That 

section of road was closed for well over 

a year. The problem is the tide going 

up the stormwater pipes. However, the 

new guttering copes with it in places but 

unfortunately the new guttering doesn’t 

continue all the way. Surely they can come 

up with some better solutions. Moving the 

road in and making it higher won’t rectify 

the stormwater pipe problem. There are 

still many sections of New Brighton Rd 

that need repairing. They should do it once 

and do it right. 

Greening the Red Zone (Facebook 

page) – How long will it take to fix this 

issue? As long as it takes to return the red 

zone to nature, and shift roads that now lie 

under the water table to outside the new 

stop banks (which almost certainly won’t 

be where they are now). That’s how long. 

Luke Burnell - Dyers Rd has been 

worked on all of last year making it wider 

so are you still in dream land Karen . . . 

and the pic is of New Brighton Rd they 

patched it a bit, but it’s not risen, so where 

do you think the water table is? Because 

most of the road now sits under it. 

Karen Farrell - And what’s the city 

council doing? Not much, just like Dyers 

Rd. Shame on them.

bad.
