2 Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday March 7 2017 Inside FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK PEGASUS POST News.......................................3-5 SOMEBODY WILL know who was behind the horse attack in Burwood, and now the owner is offering a $1000 reward to put them in front of the courts. Rewards don’t often work I’m afraid – over the years many that have been offered to help solve murders have gone unclaimed. But word would have got around about who was responsible for terrorising Gus and his equine mate which led to the standardbred’s appalling death in a Lake Terrace Rd paddock a few weeks ago. I’d put money on it that the culprits, or one of the culprits, would have bragged about it soon after the incident and, dare I say it, posted something on a social media site.

PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday March 7 2017 3 News Drawing swords – with success • By Gabrielle Stuart A LINWOOD man has become the first person in New Zealand qualified in Nito-ryu Kendo – Japanese double-sword fighting. Eynon Phillips said it was his nerdy side that first attracted him to the sport as a university student 22 years ago. “I had always been interested in swords, as a pretty geeky guy, and was really interested in Japanese things, so it combined all that,” he said. He began to teach himself Nito-ryu, fighting with two swords, about three years ago, when he wanted a new challenge. Last weekend he travelled to Auckland to fight for his fourthdan Kendo ranking, where he was the first New Zealander to ever pass the test, fighting with two swords. Reaching first-dan is the rough equivalent of a black belt in other martial arts, so fourthdan level takes years to reach. Phillips said the test had involved two short fights, which only took about one minute. But, although the test was short, he said it was both physically and mentally exhausting, as he had just two minutes to show his skill against an unknown opponent. “You find out a lot about yourself, and also about how to read other people,” he said. He said there were only about 10 people in Christchurch practising the sport when he started, but the club now had about 50 members. Phillips works as a city council transport planner, and said the sport was a great way to work out any frustration after spending his day working at a desk. The fighting is done with full traditional armour and blunt SKILLED: Eynon Phillips passed the first stage of a Nito-ryu Kendo double-sword fighting test in Auckland last weekend. weapons, but he said there were other dangers in the sport. They included the difficulties in carrying his practice swords to training, which had resulted in some awkward situations, he said. “I used to get a few looks from bus drivers who thought I was carrying a rifle,” he said. In Brief TENNIS LIGHTS APPROVED The Shirley Tennis Club is likely to have 20 tennis lights approved for four of its courts. The club, located in Richmond Park, wanted lighting to be able to continue coaching younger players during winter and facilitate competitions. The club requested to have the lights running Monday to Friday, 5pm-9.30pm. The lights will be turned off earlier if the courts are not in use. The Linwood-Central- Heathcote Community Board has supported the tennis clubs request, recommending the city council’s head of parks approve the installation. YOUNG SWIMMER’S GRANT Shirley Boys’ High School year 12 student Flynn McDonald has received a $300 grant to participate in the New Zealand national age group swimming championships in Wellington at the end of the month. It is the premier event each year for competitive swimmers looking to compete at a national level and, in the long term, potentially be selected to represent New Zealand. He also plays water polo for the school as well as golf, rugby and cricket. The grant was approved by the Fendalton-Waimairi- Harewood Community Board youth development fund.
