Businesses plan<br />
mass trespass<br />
of shoplifters,<br />
troublemakers<br />
•From page 1<br />
Twelve New Brighton businesses<br />
have so far shown interest, including<br />
Paper Plus, Bin Inn, Just Incredible,<br />
123 Mart and New Brighton Lotto.<br />
Blair Hughes, of Paper Plus, said at<br />
this stage they were making business<br />
owners<br />
aware of the people who fitted into<br />
the shoplifting and anti-social categories.<br />
Sergeant Jim Currie, of New<br />
Brighton Police, is optimistic about<br />
the programme.<br />
“I think if the businesses all stick<br />
together, it will be really effective to<br />
keep things in place,” he said.<br />
To be a part of the programme,<br />
business owners are first required<br />
to join the business and landowners<br />
association.<br />
Offenders can only be formally<br />
trespassed if a notice is handed to<br />
them in person. This will require<br />
business owners to catch and identify<br />
wrong-doers before being able to<br />
trespass them.<br />
Names of those tres passed are sent<br />
to the police, who then have power to<br />
arrest them if they enter any premises<br />
signed onto the programme.<br />

Supporting women to succeed<br />
Sheila<br />
Hailstone,<br />
founder<br />
of the<br />
Christchurch<br />
Women’s<br />
Toastmasters<br />
Club, which meets weekly<br />
at St Paul’s Anglican<br />
Church in Papanui, writes<br />
about the importance of<br />
inspiring confidence in<br />
women<br />
When Annette King finally<br />
bowed out of the Labour Party<br />
after 33 years, she said it was<br />
not good enough that women<br />
only make up 31 per cent of the<br />
MPs and that all political parties<br />
need to commit to making<br />
Parliament truly a House of<br />
Representatives.<br />
It is not only in this area of<br />
leadership women are underrepresented.<br />
Women make up over 60 per<br />
cent of university graduates<br />
with a post graduate or honours<br />
degree. However, they can only<br />
be found in 20 per cent of senior<br />
management positions and only<br />
17 per cent of private sector<br />
boards.<br />
It’s not that women of any<br />
age lack the skills or obvious<br />
intelligence to put themselves<br />
forward for leadership positions<br />
but they may need support and<br />

confidence to take up the challenge.<br />
Christchurch Women’s Toastmasters,<br />
which meets weekly<br />
in Harewood Rd, has a phrase<br />
‘supporting women to succeed’.<br />
In this club, women can gain<br />
both the speaking skills and<br />
leadership skills to take on any<br />
challenge.<br />
The group has attracted<br />
women from many walks of life<br />
and has a truly international feel<br />
as women of many different cultures<br />
find their speaking voice.<br />
The women in this club have<br />
used their skills to train business<br />
people in public speaking<br />
Barrington pharmacy<br />
Next to CouplaNds, 256 BarriNgtoN st<br />
and the funds gained have been<br />
used to help pay the training<br />
fees for those members on a<br />
tight budget.<br />
Members have credited the<br />
club with helping them gain<br />
work, confidence, management<br />
positions and there is<br />
even one elderly member who<br />
PEGASUS POST<br />
believed it helped them recover<br />
from a stroke. For women, it is<br />
important to not allow the noise<br />
of other’s opinions to drown out<br />
their own voice. Women should<br />
follow their hearts, and if they<br />
want to gain confidence to do<br />
so they can and should be supported<br />
by other women.<br />
The Christchurch Women’s<br />
Toastmasters is a great place to<br />
start.<br />
Then maybe in my lifetime we<br />
will see women take up 50 per<br />
cent of the seats in Parliament<br />
and 50 per cent of the places on<br />
private sector and Governmental<br />
boards.<br />
