2 Tuesday January 24 2017 Inside PEGASUS POST FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK News............................3, 5 & 9 MORE DRAMA on the tsunami front. Weeks after the Pegasus Post and The Star highlighted the lack of a plan by Civil Defence to get people to safety in the event of a close off-shore earthquake, there’s more trouble at t’mill. Civil Defence is now talking to South Brighton residents about a plan, but as our page 1 article highlights there’s discord between the different residents’ groups in the area. To be fair that’s not Civil Defence’s fault; some of the groups don’t appear to be on talking terms with each other. So, guys call a meeting to get everyone together, and get on with it. And Civil Defence: Don’t forget about the people north of South Brighton. When one of those giant faults in Pegasus Bay breaks, they’ll need to get away too. – Barry Clarke Enjoying the great outdoors during the school holidays HOLIDAY FUN 10 Your Local Views..........4 Our People......................6, 7 Holiday Fun...................10 City2Surf.................................14 Community Events...15 Focus on Health.............18 Health & Beauty.........19 Real Estate..........................20 GET IN TOUCH General Enquiries Ph 379-7100 Classified Advertising Ph 379-1100 The Christchurch Star Company Ltd.

PEGASUS POST Tuesday January 24 2017 3 News Plan to beat arsonists, vandals • By Andrew King FIRE SERVICE and education bosses are working together to prevent vacant schools from being the target of arsonists. The campaign is aimed at removing things such as rubbish bins, outside furniture and other combustibles from school sites that opportunist arsonists use to set fires. There are 25 schools citywide, that have either been earmarked for disposal, further education purposes or community use as part of the $1.137 billion Christchurch Schools Rebuild Programme. Fire Service’s Bruce Irvine (left) said they are working with the Ministry of Education over a prevention plan. “We have been looking around the schools for things like rubbish bins not being stored away correctly, outside furniture not pushed against buildings, that sort of thing to try limit the amount of opportunity,” he said. Ministry of Education head of education infrastructure service Kim Shannon said all schools are vulnerable over summer TARGETS: Wainoni School (above) and Aranui High now have extra security after both were vandalised recently. because they are generally unoccupied. “It’s an unfortunate fact that all schools are potential targets for arson and vandalism, particularly during the summer months when the buildings aren’t in use,” she said. Aranui High and Wainoni schools now have extra security after both were vandalised recently. 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. Mr Irvine said the unoccupied schools were “pretty high risk” when it came to fires. He said Aranui High School was lucky to not have a fire during the recent attack. Funding can be allocated to schools to repair buildings that have been deliberately set on fire, provided the damage is under $2500. The MoE has a funding programme, backed by private sector insurance, to pay for repairs to school buildings damaged in a fire or natural disaster. Buildings will be covered for loss or damage costing more than $2500 to repair and that meets the criteria. In Brief SHED FIRE A car and shed were severely damaged by fire, in Linwood, on Monday morning. Two crews from the Central Fire Station were called to Woodham Rd at about 2am to battle the blaze described as well involved when they arrived. It was extinguished within 30min. A Fire Service spokesman said it was not deemed suspicious. MEETINGS RESUME Community boards in the east will resume normal meetings next week.
