Monuments to
get panels in bid
to deter taggers
• By Caitlin Miles
THE NEW Brighton War
Memorial on Marine Pde
will soon be graffiti-proof.
The city council is
planning to install seethrough
polyglass panels
around the outside of the
memorial to protect it,
and the Woolston Borough
Monument, from
being vandalised in the
future.
City council capital delivery
community manager, Darren
Moses, said because of previous
vandalism, the war memorial
will have the panels put around
it to stop it from being tagged.
“As with the Woolston
Borough Monument, the New
Brighton War Memorial is continually
tagged or engraved with
initials,” Mr Moses said.
New Brighton RSA manager
and secretary Garry House
(above) said the RSA was glad the
city council planned to do something
to protect the memorial.
“It’s very important to us and
to community that it is looked
after and we do support the city
council for the work on it,” Mr
House said.
The panels are clear and protect
the monument. They have a
film over top of them which can
be replaced if they are
defaced. The full panels
can be removed during
ceremonies.
It is expected to cost
$25,000 for the total
cost to design, and to
fabricate and install
polyglass around the
memorial with the installation
of the panels expected
to take place next month.
The Woolston Borough Monument,
on the corner of Richardson
Tce and Ferry Rd will get
similar panels to preserve it at a
cost of $23,000.
There are no further plans to
install similar panels on any other
monuments around the city.

should be encased in
protective glass? Email

DEFACED: Vandalism like this on the Woolston Borough Monument (left) and the New Brighton War Memorial shouldn’t happen
once protective panels are installed around the sides.

AT LAST, a solution to tagging of
the New Brighton War Memorial
on Marine Pde.
We report today (page 1) on a
city council move to protect something
that should be off-limits to
taggers in the first place.
The panels can be peeled off
when they are vandalised and then
simply replaced.
I’m not sure why the city council
hasn’t done this sooner, but credit
where credit is due and good on
them for the move.
They will be in place in about a
month, and a historic monument
in Woolston will also be covered in
the panels.
But at the end of the day it is a
sad indictment on society – particularly
teenagers who are usually
the taggers – when they target
such things as war memorials.
Send the culprits to Burnham
for several weeks to sort them out,

Repairs to pier under way
WORK HAS started on the
12-month plan to repair the
earthquake damaged pier.
The repairs will focus on
damage sustained by the support
columns at seabed-level,
and there will be additional
repairs to cosmetic earthquake
damage on the deck and railings.
“Most of the work will be
going on below
sea-level,” said
city council
general manager
city services David
Adamson
(left).
“Fulton
Hogan will be working inside
caissons, which are segmented
watertight tubes. Over the first
few weeks, the caissons will be
driven firmly into the sea-bed,
built up around each of the
damaged pier columns with a
watertight seal, and then all the
seawater will be pumped out.
“It’s a really interesting process
that you don’t see too often
in Christchurch,” Mr Adamson
says. “I’m told it’s a bit unnerving
when you’re standing under
all that water, but the caissons
create a safe, dry space in which
to work.
“It’s also the fastest option.
Some of the damage has left the
pier’s support columns vulnerable
to rust, and the faster we
fix them, the less chance there
is for them to deteriorate in
the marine environment. This
work is essential if the pier is
to have a long lifespan, so this
is great news for everyone who
likes to make the most of one
of Christchurch’s major attractions.”
The pier performed
as expected during the
earthquakes and remains safe
to use. The impact on visitors
to the pier will be minimised
– with the exception of the
occasional closure to allow
contractor vehicles to come and
go, the pier will remain open to
the public throughout.
Events based around New
Brighton Pier, including the
Treetech Guy Fawkes Fireworks
Spectacular, the Coast to Coast
and the New Zealand Surf Life
Saving Championships, will all
go ahead as planned through
2017.
The repair project has a
budget of $9.7 million, and is
expected to be completed by
February 2018.
The adjacent New Brighton
Library is currently closed for
repairs, and is set to reopen on
February 13.

KIDNEY SURGERY
A 6 year old Golden Lab called, you
guessed it, LOLA, came to see us for a
referral ultrasound at the end of last year
because she had been urinating “clots”
of blood. She was clinically bright and
alert at the visit but did have a history of
possibly having access to rat bait 7 days
earlier.
The abdominal ultrasound was
performed by Catherine and she found
a possible bleed into the left kidney but
no sign of tumours anywhere else. A
wide range of blood and urine testing
was performed, including clotting times
in case of rat bait access, and all showed
up very normal, apart from evidence that
she had experienced a recent bleed. So
initially she was discharged on Vitamin
K in case of rat bait and antibiotics. She
seemed bouncy and was of course still
ravenous but a follow up ultrasound was
scheduled for the following week to check
to see if the haemorrhage had resolved in
the left kidney.
She returned happily to see Kirsty the
following week looking great. No further
blood clots were seen in her urine. The
ultrasound of the left kidney appeared in
worse shape – the kidney was increased
in size and still full of fluid – blood?
Specialists were consulted and it was
agreed that a CT scan was needed to rule
in or out cancer.
Kirsty accompanied Lola to her CT
scan. The radiologist noted marked
pathological changes in the left kidney
that resembled a rapidly progressing
primary kidney tumour. No sign of cancer
was seen in the lungs or other parts of
the abdomen. It was decided that she
needed a nephrectomy ( removal of the
left kidney) fairly urgently while she still
essentially well. Her right kidney was
functioning normally ( as seen on CT scan
and via the bloods)and without surgery
her prognosis was probably less than 1
month.
So Kirsty and myself put our hands
up to operate on Lola. A nephrectomy
surgery is not to be taken lightly so we
did our research before attempting the
left kidney removal ( text book reading,
U tube videos, consulting with other
surgeons). We had a blood donor dog,
a German shepherd called Pepper, on
standby in case she lost a lot of blood
or we couldn’t control surgical bleeding.
My Lola frequently gave blood but since
she’s had a renal tumour removed and
undergone chemotherapy, she can no
longer have blood drawn. It is important
for a clinic to have access to a healthy,
young, disease free canine patient in
the case a blood transfusion is needed.
Collecting blood is largely straight forward
although the donor dog often needs to
be sedated as the collection needle is
large bore and goes into the jugular vein.
The patient must lay very still while we
are collecting the blood. Pepper did an
amazing job and her blood was sent to
the After hours clinic with Lola in case she
required it.
The surgery was a complete success,
and even though there were a few tense
moments during the 2 hour operation,
Kirsty and I were thrilled with the final
outcome. Her left kidney and ureter were
carefully removed and the bleeding
controlled. Georgie did a superb job of
anaesthetic monitoring – not straight
forward at all. Lola woke up brilliantly and
has really never looked back. Her owners
were very thrilled and grateful for the
work our entire team carried out from
start to finish. And the best news being,
the mass in the kidney wasn’t “cancer”, the
kidney was diseased, non functioning and
had a large blood clot present.
Lola will need ongoing monitoring to
make sure the surviving kidney maintains
good health. This will be done by regular
blood and urine testing with her primary
vet in Ashburton. Just like with my Lola,
we are out of the woods but still need to
keep our eyes open for any small changes.
My Lola did have kidney cancer confirmed
so she gets 6 monthly CT scans at St
Georges and 3 monthly blood and urine
testing. Periodically she is fed Prescription
kidney diets but for now her surviving
kidney is holding up well. Long may it last
– my Lola is now swimming and relaxing
up in the Bay of Islands with the family.
Take home message – consult your
vet immediately if your dog passes
clots of blood in the urine. This isn’t
normal.

Trump changing politics
Christchurch
local body
politician Sam
MacDonald
talks about
what Donald
Trump is doing to
politics
Has Donald Trump
revived politics?
It seems to be the topic
every media outlet across
the globe is reporting – the
Donald Trump presidency.
While we have seen him
already make controversial
moves like remove the
United States from the
Trans-Pacific Partnership
Agreement and adopt
an archaic, protectionist
approach to trade, the
question still stands. Is a
Trump presidency likely
to improve the awareness
of politics and the importance
of voting?
One of the struggles inherent
with local government
elections is the lack
of awareness or engagement
and the resulting low
voter turnout. In the 2016
elections, only 40 per cent
of Christchurch voters cast
a ballot. For an organisation
tasked with spending
millions of dollars
every year on roads, traffic,
waterways, parks and
collecting rubbish, there
isn’t much of everyday life
that isn’t impacted by the
work overseen by elected
representatives.
Now, while I don’t
propose that our elections
are comparable to the US
elections, the challenge
remains: How do we improve
voter participation
and increase the awareness
of what your city council
and community board do
for you?
I’ve taken a different
approach in the Waimairi
Ward. Firstly, by working
with local residents on key
issues, such as challenges
with urban planning and
development, parking
and traffic issues, and the
under utilisation of our
parks and recreational
areas. Secondly, I’ve been
working to raise awareness
of the importance of
democratic participation.
As a young representative,
PEGASUS POST
passionate about getting
youth involved in not only
our community, but the
democratic process, more
can be done. I challenge
you to talk to someone
under the age of 30 and
discuss the importance
and impact of their vote.
While rubbish collection
and traffic issues may not
be the most appealing
conversations, the point
remains – will the ongoing
controversy surrounding
the Trump presidency, in
the very least, raise awareness
around the importance
and impact of your
democratic right to vote?

Urban forest for Linwood likely
• By Caitlin Miles
AN URBAN forest may be
developed in Linwood Lower
Fields as part of flooding
protection plans.
The land will be developed
into a new water storage basin,
it’s planned to store flood water
in heavy rainfall and release it
slowly back into Bells Creek to
reduce the flood risk to houses in
Linwood. The area surrounding
the ponds is proposed to be made
into an urban forest and park
area. The landscaping plan has
gone out for public consultation.
The city council is in discussions
with the Ministry of Education
over purchasing 2.75ha
of the 3.2ha Linwood College
Lower Fields on Ferry Rd from
the Ministry of Education.
The college used to use the site
for sports purposes but since
the 2011 earthquakes it has only
used a portion of the grounds
for its satellite unit, the Kimihia
Parents’ College.
The city council wants to use
the land as part of a series of
works, between Antigua St in
the central city and Hargood
St in Woolston, designed to
improve flood protection and
water quality in the Bells Creek
catchment.
PROTECTION: The plans include native trees surrounding the ponds and a path through the forest. ​
The plan includes planting
2500 native trees and having concrete
footpaths and boardwalks
to go around the two ponds.
City councillor Yani Johanson
said having the community’s
feedback on the project is important.
“We’re looking at having an
urban forest in Linwood . . . it’s
going to start making Linwood
great again,” Cr Johanson said.
The Linwood Lower Fields
project is part of the wider Land
Drainage Recovery Programme
which seeks to restore the flooding
risk in the city to ‘pre-earthquake
levels’. The Bells Creek
catchment has experienced
a greater flood risk since the
earthquakes due to subsidence
of the ground.
The consultation period will
close on February 15.
The plans will go to the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board in March.
Library closed
for two weeks
• By Caitlin Miles
NEW BRIGHTON residents will
have to find somewhere else to
find books because there will be
library service for two weeks.
The temporary New Brighton
Library in New Brighton Mall
closed its doors for good yesterday
but locals won’t have a library
service until the normal library,
on Marine Pde opens on February
13.
The New Brighton Library
sustained moderate damage in
the February 22, 2011, earthquake
and was closed for repairs. While
that was taking place the city
council set up the temporary
replacement. It has been operating
for five-and-a-half months.
City council community libraries
operations manager Kate
Ogden said there will be no service
because the library will need
to be set up again before it can be
opened.
“We need to move everything
that has been in the temporary
facility and in storage back into
the library on Marine Pde,” Ms
Ogden said.
Ms Ogden said if any books
were on hold at New Brighton
library they are now at surrounding
libraries in Linwood, Shirley,
Parklands and Aranui.

Fuel tax mooted to fix roads
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE IDEA to implement a fuel
tax in a bid to fund the repair
of the region’s earthquake
damaged roads, including those
in the eastern suburbs, has been
floated.
City councillor Aaron Keown
asked Mayor Lianne Dalziel
last week if she would consider
asking the Government if Canterbury
could have a regional
fuel tax.
It comes after Auckland Mayor
Phil Goff asked for a 10c per litre
fuel tax for Auckland to plug the
$4 million funding gap it has for
a list of transport projects over
the next decade.
However, Ms Dalziel said
she would be interested to see
what happened with Auckland’s
request before making any decisions
on asking the Government
to look at Canterbury.
Cr Keown said the tax could
pay for the repairs of Canterbury’s
earthquake damaged
roads, so it did not strain the city
council’s budget.
He said once the roads were
repaired, they could re-look
at whether the tax was still
needed.
“You’d pay a bit extra for your

fuel to have really smooth roads
that work.”
Former city council infrastructure,
transport and environment
committee chairman Phil
Clearwater said he mooted the
idea twice last year in informal
discussions with councillors.
“I think a regional fuel tax
does have the potential to bring
additional income for our council.”
He did not know what amount
of tax would work at this stage,
Cr Clearwater said.
“I agree with the mayor, I think
we will need to wait and see how
Auckland gets this across the line
first then we would be likely to
pursue it if they do.”
Initially, Mr Key said no to Mr
Goff’s request for a fuel tax last
year in Auckland because it created
anomalies.

Winters Rd closure will effect school
• By Andrew King
A SECTION of Winters Rd
will be permanently shut to
vehicles to make way for the
Christchurch Northern Corridor
bringing positive and negative
effects for a primary school.
The project will be a four-lane
highway running from Chaneys
Cnr to Cranford St. It aims to
ease congestion in the north of
the city and is expected to be
completed by
2020.
From February
7, the road
in Mairehau,
between property
numbers 137 and
143, will be
closed.
Papanui Primary School is on
the corner of Fraser and Cranford
Sts.
Principal Paul Kingston
(above) said there are positive
and negative effects to the closure.
He said there will be more
vehicles using the Fraser and
Cranford Sts intersection outside
the school and it limits access
options for staff, parents and
pupils.
“But on the upside, there will
be reduced ‘through’ traffic

“We’ll have to wait and see
how driver behaviour changes
to see if any safety issues arise
and work with the appropriate
authorities and our community
to mitigate these.”
He said the project will benefit

the wider community.
A tunnel will be constructed
to allow pedestrians and cyclists
to pass under the motorway
and is expected to be completed
within six months.
The Northern Corridor project
includes the construction of a
new road between QE II Dr and
Cranford St, and the four-laning
of Cranford St to Innes Rd.
The new motorway will bring
an estimated 20,000 extra vehicles
per day into St Albans once
finished.
The city council is putting together
a team to come up with a
downstream effects management
plan to identify the traffic issues
on surrounding residential
streets.
The team would then come up
with strategies to mitigate those
effects, which would go out for
public consultation.
Traffic congestion would
become “increasingly severe” in
Main North Rd, Cranford St and
Marshland Rd if the new road
was not built, the city council
said.

Offenders dig second chance
AT THE end of its first year,
19 people on community
sentences with the Department
of Corrections have become
the first to graduate from a
new agricultural skills training
programme.
They leave with qualifications
– and the chance to change their
lives. The ongoing project is a
partnership between Lincoln
University, Port Levy’s Koukourarata
Marae and Community
Corrections.
It is intended to deliver practical
horticultural skills with a
focus on tikanga (Maori way of
doing things).
Corrections Canterbury lead
service manager Katey Gibling
said the intention was for offenders
to reconnect with the land
while gaining skills for employment
and a taste for achievement
and further training.
“Many of those we work with
are drifting, their lives have
become chaotic and without
purpose. Through this partnership,
and projects like this, we
help them to reconnect with their
culture and find a way forward,”
she said.
“Lincoln provide the qualification
and having them involved
has helped the offenders see
that this is a real qualification
and they are very capable of
doing something they had never
thought possible for them.”
The 19 graduates were presented
with certificates recognising
proficiency in chainsaw operation,
quad-bike driving, tractor
driving and the use of farming
implements.
For Brent, the first graduate of
the course, the programme has
been truly life changing.
“This programme was critical
to me getting the confidence to
have a go and get back in charge
of my life,” he said.
Last year, Brent was studying
horticulture, then when things
‘got stressful,’ he started to drink
heavily and found himself on a
community work sentence with a
drink driving conviction.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Lincoln University’s biological husbandry unit manager Bill Martin (left),
Brent, and Corrections senior community work supervisors Tom Piahana and Reuben Gent. ​
“When I committed my offences,
I wasn’t thinking ahead. I
was dealing with alcohol and anxiety
issues. I was losing my friends,
failing my studies. I was in a dark
place and ended up on a community
work sentence,” he said.
“This programme was the first
big mental shift for me. I started
to plan forward again.
“I did the chainsaw course
thinking that it could make me
more employable and I thought
the quad bike training could also
lead to something. It gave me the
confidence to try again. I had
gained these skills and thought, ‘I
can do this’.”
Brent said that in addition to
starting to learn again, it was
the mentoring support of the
community work supervisor who
helped him see opportunity.
The project’s community
work supervisor Reuben Gent
said the partnership offered
new opportunities for people on
community work sentences to
access skills and qualifications
for employment. The tikanga
element helped offenders
reconnect with Maori principals
and culture.
“In addition to practical skills
and work aptitudes, the offenders
on the programme are gaining
confidence and the personal
skills and motivation to move on
with their lives,” Mr Gent said.
“Working alongside each other
provides time and opportunity
to talk about what is going on in
people’s lives. Projects like this
work at many levels,” Mr Gent
said.
Koukourarata Marae representative
Manaia Cunningham
said he was very proud of the way
the project was progressing and
the difference it was making in
the lives of the people working
on it.
“As a marae, we are thrilled to
support our community service
whanau and we are here to support
each other,” Mr Cunningham
said.
“This education programme
has a Maori education framework
that ensures everyone’s
whakapapa is respected.”
For some of those in the project,
they will find the confidence
and passion to continue their
studies in a related field, for example,
horticulture or forestry at
Lincoln University.
Bill Martin, manager of the
biological husbandry unit, is the
university’s delivery partner in
the partnership.
“This programme delivers
skills that growers want,” Mr
Martin said.
“The people graduating from
this programme have certificates
of proficiency in useful skills.”
The programme offers a way
to engage in the community and
partner in the Koukourarata
gardens. While the initial programme
was about rebuilding
and shaping lives, the partnership
has taken a new turn with
the BHU engaging in a two-year
research project to develop commercial
seed lines of organic
taewa, or Maori potatoes, and
ensure their availability into the
future.
STUCK IN: People on
community sentences with
Corrections have been
learning new agricultural
skills, such as proficiency with
a chainsaw.
“Through this project, we will
enable Koukourarata to develop
commercial scale production of
organic taewa,” Mr Martin said.
The tikanga element of the
programme also sat well with the
university’s whenua strategy and
recognition of the importance of
engaging with Maori and Pasifika
and the land.
“Between the three partners we
bring commitment, tikanga, the
labour, the science and the will to
make a difference to the future of
this food source which is culturally
significant to New Zealand,
and especially to iwi,” Mr Martin
said.
“We are helping people reconnect
with the earth, traditional
planting and horticultural methods.
It’s not just seeds we are
growing. It’s ideas and futures.”
As for Brent, he felt very
positive about his future. He
had returned to Lincoln to study
landscape architecture and had
completed and passed his first
two papers.
“I stuffed up so much for so
long. I needed this, but I didn’t
know I needed it. It seems
strange to say, but it has been a
really important experience for
me,” he said.
“My sentence gave me purpose.
I came home feeling engaged and
positive again. Since I have been
on sentence, my whole life has
turned around and Corrections
has been a big part of this.”

Council committees for new term
• By Bridget Rutherford
A NEW committee has been
formed to support the city’s
focus on innovation and
sustainability.
Along with it, the city council
created 14 other committees,
sub-committees, working groups
and a taskforce last month.
The innovation and sustainable
development committee will
be chaired by Vicki Buck, with
Tim Scandrett as her deputy.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the
new city council organisation,
a merger between Canterbury
Development Corporation,
Christchurch & Canterbury
Tourism and some of the council’s
events, would report to this
committee.
She said it would also drive
strategic directions adopted by
the city council, such as the Resilient
Greater Christchurch Plan.
“The committee will also take
on a leadership role in the area
of sustainability and climate
change issues.”
A development forum, chaired
by Jamie Gough, with Sara
Templeton as deputy, would be a
sub-committee.
Raf Manji will chair his second
term of the finance and performance
committee, supported by
Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner.
Ms Dalziel said the committee
was refocused on the city council’s
finances and performance,
rather than its strategies as it had
been previously.
She said the insurance subcommittee,
which was in place
last term, was now under the
finance and performance committee.
This committee will be supported
by a sub-committee – the
strategic capability committee,
which Ms Dalziel and Cr Turner
would chair.
The new social and community
development committee
will be led by Phil Clearwater.
Cr Clearwater chaired the
infrastructure, transport and environment
committee last term.
Pauline Cotter would become
chairwoman of that committee
this term, with Mike Davidson
as deputy.
This term’s regulatory performance
committee will be
chaired by David East, with Cr
Gough as his deputy. Cr East
held that role last term.
The audit and risk
management committee
will remain the same, with
independent chairwoman
Sue Sheldon, and Cr Manji
her deputy. Ms Sheldon is a
chartered accountant, and
current director of Real Journeys
Ltd and Contact Energy.
The others include a housing

Yulia recording new album in mother’s memory
• By Bridget Rutherford
WHEN YULIA Townsend’s
mother passed away last year,
the musician never thought she
would sing again.
She said it broke her into a
million pieces.
But now, the multi-platinum,
best-selling artist is about to record
her new album in front of a
live audience in Ferrymead.
It will be her first major work
in New Zealand for 10 years
because she took a break to have
her two children.
The album will be recorded in
front of a live audience in two
sessions at Ferrymead’s Orange
Studios on February 3 and 4.
A hundred tickets will be
available for the two sessions.
“The exclusivity of this event
is comparable to an experience
of Bluff oysters – available to a
select few, first in, first served,”
she said.
The new album, which follows
Into the West and Montage,
will feature five of Townsend’s
original songs. as well as covers
of Lionel Richie and Leonard
Cohen.
Peter Rattray, who recorded
Yulia’s first self-produced album
while she was at school, will
master this one.
She said it would be different
to her previous music, but

thought her fans would like it.
“They are going to come out
and think years down the track,
I may not remember what she
sang, or what she said, but I will
always remember how she made
me feel.”
Townsend said the concerts
would be in part dedicated to
her mother, Galina, who died of
cancer in July.
The five songs in the new
album were among about 12 she
wrote in November 2015.
She said it took about two
weeks to write all of them,
which were triggered when she
returned to Christchurch and
reunited with family.
Townsend was born in Russia
and emigrated to Christchurch
with her mother in 2002.
At 18-years-old, she landed a
deal with Sony before becoming
the first female vocalist in the
country to have two back-toback
No 1 hit albums.

Livingstone joins in Trump protest
• By Bridget Rutherford
BURWOOD-Coastal
Community Board city
councillor Glenn Livingstone
got a glimpse of Donald Trump
being sworn in as the 45th
President of the United States.
He and his wife, Anthea, are
in the US after originally buying
the plane tickets in the hope of
seeing Hillary Clinton being
sworn in as president.
However, on Saturday (US
time), it was President Trump
they saw.
“I got a little glimpse of
Trump,” he said.
Cr Livingstone said the following
day, the pair took part in the
Women’s March on Washington
– a global movement to support
women’s rights and broader
equality.
They carried the New Zealand
flag, he said.
“It was quite an experience.
The march was like no other we
had ever participated in, both
in terms of the sheer number of
people and the strength of feeling
within it.”
Meanwhile, in Christchurch,
hundreds of people marched
from Victoria Square to Cathedral
Square on Saturday as part
of the global march.
“We carried the New Zealand
flag in solidarity with those
marching in Christchurch and
other cities,” Cr Livingstone said.
Not only women took part;
there were people of all ages, he

said.
“Those taking part were from
mainstream America, they were
not ‘serial protesters’ as some
commentators would like to
think.”
The couple left Christchurch
on January 15 and visited Dallas
to see Dealey Plaza, where John
F Kennedy was assassinated in
1963, before heading to New
York and Washington DC.
Cr Livingstone will miss today’s
council meeting as a result
of the trip.
Boxing gym hopes to buy premises off council
• Ashleigh Monk
ARANUI’S A-TOWN Boxing Gym
wants to buy the building it’s based
in off the city
council.
A-Town’s Jamie Roberts said the
club cannot progress until it takes
charge of its own destiny – hence
the bid to buy the Hampshire St
premises.
The gym was badly damaged by
an arsonist two and a half years
ago, wiping out half of the building.
The damage remains unrepaired
even though boxers still train there.
Mr Roberts has helped many atrisk
youths to get off the streets and
into the ring.
He said the city council
should sell the premises, a small
two-roomed building, for a token
price – $1.
“It was decided that they (city
council) weren’t going to repair
it, but that they would give us the
opportunity to buy it and repair it.
Buy it for something like a dollar,
something cheap.
“With the council, I guess they
have massive stuff to fix in the
city and that takes higher priority,
which we understand. With the
latest quake, we sort of got nudged
down the line a bit, which is expected.”
Mr Roberts said what is left of the
fire-damaged gym was not enough
to accommodate the 15 to 20 members
who used it each day.
He will try to raise the money to
repair it himself. However, he does
not know how much the repairs
will cost.
“We are going to use our contacts
and goodwill through funding and
people who want to help. We’re
pretty confident that we can
make it work and be better than
ever.”
“We just want to get it up and
going to the full potential.”
City council staff were
unavailable to answer questions
from Pegasus Post about the
idea.
Aranui-based Senior Sergeant
Lyle Pryor said getting the gym
repaired would mean a lot to the
community.
“Quite simply, for this community
it’s huge. This is one of the
few places where anyone from all
walks of life can come in and get
involved,” he said.
“They can take kids from all
walks of life, troubled kids, good
kids, what have you, and give them
direction and focus.”
REPAIRS NEEDED: The A-Town Boxing Gym wants to
buy its current premises on Hampshire St in Aranui.

Classic English tale with a twist
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
MEET THE new face of one of
medieval’s most timeless English
tales.
Sophia Benter-Lynch will put
a feminine twist on the legend of
Robin Hood, playing the heroic
outlaw herself.
Having just left Cashmere
High School, it will be the first
major role of the aspiring performer’s
career.
The Riccarton House grounds
will transform into Sherwood
Forest as the tale of Robin Hood
and her adventures is brought to
the city.
The new adaption was created
by director Daniel Pengelly
for the city council’s Anthony
Harper Summer Theatre production.
While the classic characters
such as the infamous Sheriff
of Nottingham
and Robin
Hood’s love interest
Lady Marian
will still appear
in the show, audiences
can expect
to see several
makeovers.
Benter-Lynch, 18, said most of
the story remains the same but
all characters’ genders have been
switched so roles such as Marian
PLAYING THE OUTLAW: Sophia Benter-Lynch is playing the new face of English legend
Robin Hood. ​
is played by a man.
Nick Cheesebrough (left), 19,
who will play Marian describes
his reinvented character as a buff
jockey sort of guy with a few
insecurities.
He said the show was inspired
by 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince
of Thieves starring Alan Rickman
and Kevin Costner.
Other significant characters
are Carrie Green as the Sheriff of
Nottingham and Millie Hanford
as Friar Tuck.
Benter-Lynch said it is an
empowering play for familiesespecially
those who take their
daughters to the show.
“Even though Robin Hood is
a young woman she is still great
at leading this army. People actually
follow her and it is a great
message to the youth of today,”
she said.
Benter-Lynch’s interest in
acting was first ignited when
she became obsessed with the
film The Sound of Music at eightyears-old.
“I was like they are on stage
they having so much fun singing
and dancing and it is just like
isn’t this just a dream job to be
able to have fun for the rest of
your life,” she said.
Since then she has worked
with The Court Youth Company,
performed in high school productions
and competed in the
Stage Challenge.
Robin Hood will run from
February 1 to 19.

Scholarship gives student a career boost
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
OLIVER DAVIDSON was going
to study to become a surveyor at
Otago University.
But after achieving three major
feats in the performing arts
realm, the former St Bede’s College
student has decided to take
a risk.
Davidson will study a
Bachelor of Performing Arts at
Otago University after winning a
$16,000 scholarship.
But, not only has he had his
tertiary fees covered, he was
recently accepted to attend an intensive
singing school in Napier
earlier this month, and has been
chosen to represent the country
at the world championships of
performing arts in Los Angeles
in June.
About 300 people auditioned
for a place in Napier’s IFAC
Handa NZ Singing School and
Davidson was one of 73 chosen
to attend.
But, while the 11-day course
focuses on helping students to
accelerate their skills in singing,
Davidson said what he enjoyed
most was being around likeminded
people.
He said his junior years at St
Bede’s were a struggle with some
of his fellow classmates finding
dancing a “weird thing.”
But he said as everyone grew
up they began to see dancing as
“cool” instead.
“I think towards the end of
my high schooling, it was quite
good. There wasn’t many people
like me, it made me stand out so
I wasn’t just part of the norm,”
he said.
Having started in dance at the
Patricia Paul School of Dance
and Southern Ballet Theatre, his
involvement in the arts began to
go up a gear when he performed
in all three productions produced
by Showbiz Christchurch
last year.
Now, encouraged by his No 1
supporter, his mum, Davidson
will have a crack at a career in
arts.
“Some people were like you
are so stupid going down to
Dunedin to do surveying, why
are you wasting your talent?” he
said.
He is now hoping for the best
outcome for his career from his
upcoming competition at the
world championships.
The competition, known as
the official ‘talent Olympics’ is
renowned for giving scholarships
to schools, such as the New York
Film Academy and the New York
Conservatory for Dramatic Arts.
But for now, Davidson is most
excited about having the chance
to “start over again” in Dunedin.

The Spice with a Profound Healing Ability!
TURMERIC
Researchers cannot believe how effective turmeric &
its active ingredient curcumin is proving in supporting
the natural healing of the body, with some calling it a
natural cure-all. It has been found beneficial in well
over 600 diseases. Research has shown a common
factor with disease is inflammation & this is where
curcumin is amazing. It naturally reduces inflammation
present while also stopping inflammation from starting
in the first place. This allows the body a much better
chance of healing itself. Studies have shown curcumin
to be more beneficial than common prescription drugs
for pain, swelling & inflammation.
Curcumin however is normally poorly absorbed in the
body but a patented extra called MERIVA (available as
GO-TURMERIC) has overcome
this with their molecular
delivery system. Meriva is
significantly better absorbed
giving it the potential to
support the healing of
numerous ailments.

Curcumins have been shown to support:

• Cardiovascular health, reduces risk factors like CRP (C-Reactive Protein), increases good HDL
cholesterol while reducing oxidised LDL cholesterol, lowers triglycerides (considered a major
risk factor for heart disease) by as much as 65%, supports healthy blood flow
• The body’s natural healing process & without side effects
• Cancer (According to Dr. Bharat Aggarwal, lead researcher at MD Anderson, the #1 cancer
center in America, they have not found a single cancer that curcumin has not been beneficial
• Alzheimer’s & dementia (several small studies have shown dramatic benefits even in
advanced stages)
• Depression (Two recent trials have shown curcumin highly beneficial)
• Diabetes (One study by the “American Diabetes Association” found curcumin to be 100%
effective in preventing type 2 diabetes. Other studies have shown it to protect against
diabetes-related complications.)

Your Local Views
Look when you cook
• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk
Management Officer
LAST WEEKEND’S wild
weather caused a few issues
around town with our fire
trucks attending a number of
trees and lines down.
Scariest for the occupants was
a house in Marine Pde where a
power pole ended up hanging
over the building. Evacuation of
the home was the only option
until the power authorities
could stabilise things.
THe old pot on stove scenario
was evident again this week
with one of the incidents being
at a school.
I’m not going to say where
because I don’t want to
embarrass the staff but it’s so
easy to see someone putting the
pot on and then rushing off to
do some of the thousands of
jobs needed to do and simply
forgetting.
One third of all structure
fires start in the kitchen. The
saying: ‘Keep looking when
you’re cooking’ never dates.
One of the most frightening
events for a young mother
is accidentally locking your
children in the car. We are
quite often called to assist in
breaking-in and mum’s distress
is commonly picked up by the
child who becomes equally
unhappy.
Not so on the Rapaki Track
on Wednesday, where the
trapped baby was still smiling
when Woolston’s crew finally
broke into the car. Mum smiled
then too!
A late night cigarette outside
saved a late model car from
major damage in Avonhead
in the early hours of Thursday
when a smoker noticed, well,
smoke!
Smouldering electrics would
probably have eventually
destroyed the car.
Not often something good
comes from ciggies!
Zonta garage sale
to boost charities
A GROUP of women have spent
six months collecting items for a
garage sale – with the proceeds
to go to charity.
Zonta Club of Christchurch
South will hold its annual summer
garage sale on February 11
with children’s toys, preserves,
furniture, ornaments and linen
among some of the items for sale
which will be held bordering the
village green on Dyers Pass Rd,
Cashmere.
Club president Sue Clark said
the women have been busy collecting
and making items to sell.
“It is a lot of work but well
worth it,” Ms Clark said.
Members family and friends
have helped by donating items
as well.
“It’s a white elephant sale really,
with a huge array of goods,
all in good order and all donated
to us by friends and families.
This sale is an annual event . . .
and it provides us with a great
start to the year.”
Funds raised are all distributed
to the club’s chosen charities.
“We have a number of very
worthwhile charities which
we support and it is incredibly
satisfying to be able to make
substantial donations to these
groups. Next up on our activities
PEGASUS POST
list will be a visit to the Broadfield
Garden on February 19, and
tickets to this are still available to
the public.”
The Zonta Club of Christchurch
South is part of the national
Zonta network which in the last
four years has donated thousands
of dollars to the Sophie
Elliot Foundation, principally
for the publication and distribution
of the book Loves Me Not.
A copy of this book is given to
every student who participates
in a course jointly delivered by
the Foundation and the New
Zealand Police, and on offer
to all New Zealand secondary
schools.
Mrs Clark says Zonta aligns
itself well with the Sophie Elliot
Foundation because Zonta’s
prime aim is to improve the
status of women worldwide.
The Zonta Club of Christchurch
South is well known for
its annual Zonta Sports Awards
which attract competition from
top athletes and sportspeople
in the secondary schools in the
region.

HEALTH & BEAUTY
Offering a
full range
of dental
services
Merivale Dental Group staff, left to right, David
Rowley, Megan Smith, Jenny Kim, Petria Waitzer.
A fortnight. One month. Two
months. How much time and
patience does one need to have
a porcelain crown or a ceramic
dental restoration nowadays?
At Merivale Dental Group, they
acknowledge people have hectic
lifestyles juggling work and family
life leaving little time for multiple
dental appointments.
CEREC same-day dental crowns
and implants are the most modern
technology available in dental
restoration. They are one of a few
practices in Christchurch being
able to manufacture and place
ceramic restorations by taking a 3D
digital scan of your teeth. The tooth
is then designed on clever software
and sculpted by a milling unit which
allows them to produce beautiful,
strong porcelain restorations in
the one appointment. This means
no temporary restoration and no
second visit for their patients.
Merivale Dental Group has
the latest and state-of-the-art
Omnicam CEREC unit. Dentists
David Rowley and Jenny Kim
believe that the advances of digital
dentistry are the way of the future
and pride themselves in producing
strong long lasting restorations.
Behind all beautiful, swift dental
restorations should be firm healthy
gums covering the pearly whites.
When it comes to focussing on
having fantastic oral health, it is very
easy for us to forget gum health.
Megan Smith and Petria Waitzer
are the friendly and experienced
dental hygienists at Merivale Dental
Group. They are both passionate
about prevention and treatment
of gum disease and provide gentle
but thorough removal of plaque,
stains, and tartar build-ups. Since
prevention is better than cure, they
are dedicated to helping you perfect
your homecare technique and aid
in sorting out any problems before
they get worse.
Merivale Dental Group offers
a full range of dental services
and they would love to help you
out with all your dental needs. If
you would like more information
on their friendly practice, please
check out their website at www.
merivaledental.co.nz or call them

NOTE: The owners have just had a subdivision report completed by a Registered
Survey Company, a Geotechnical Report completed by Registered Consulting
Engineers and a subdivision application has been submitted to council. This is
currently in the approval process and applies for two separate titles to be issued for
the property. Title 1 - House on 1023m 2 and Title 2 - Separate section of 1000m 2 .
On a 2023m 2 section which occupies a prime position right in the heart of the bay. Enjoy
the space and the stunning harbour / hill views. Last on the market in 1948, this was home
to one of our much loved local identities. The comfortable family home offers three double
bedrooms and open plan living opening to wrap-around verandah. You will be super cosy
in winter with the Kent Duo wood-burner and heat-pump, plus a still operational “chippy”
in the kitchen. There is easy, sealed access to a detached double garage plus a single
carport and woodshed. This is a golden opportunity to own a good chunk of the bay right
at its centre. Spread out and keep the whole half acre (2023m 2 )for yourself, develop into
a beautiful garden or just keep as real country space for the kids to romp. For a gardener
it is a blank canvas, an additional way to enhance the future value of this property.
