Council 

may face 

with legal 

action 

if homes 

flooded 

• By Sophie Cornish 

THE CITY council has been 

threatened with legal action if 

homes in South New Brighton are 

damaged in a flood. 

The South New Brighton 

Residents’ Association has issued 

a formal notice of liability to the 

city council, claiming it has failed 

to install proper flood protection 

north of Bridge St and south of 

Owles Tce. 

The notice means if a flooding 

event does occur, the association 

could take the city council to court 

and may find it liable for damages. 

A city council spokeswoman said 

it does not accept it would be liable 

if the area is flooded. 

“The council will not be making 

any changes to its current process 

as a result of the notice of liability. 

The council considers its recent 

decisions provide a satisfactory 

way forward for addressing current 

flooding issues,” she said. 

But association chairman Hugo 

Kristinsson believes the city council 

could be held liable under the 

Land Drainage Act and Soil, Conservation 

and Rivers Control Act.

from the editor’s desk 

CHRISTMAS MIGHT be right on the 

radar but there’s another big event looming 

too – the City2Surf. 

Yep, it’s only a handful of months away 

(see page 4) so it’s time to start lacing up 

those running shoes and pounding the 

pavement or local park to get in some sort of shape. 

The great thing about the City2Surf – and this hasn’t changed 

over the decades – is that anyone regardless of shape or fitness 

level can take part. 

A face that will appear on the marketing of City2Surf this 

year is Jesel Royokada, a Fijian pastor. 

And remember it’s a family event: It’s free for children 10 and 

under to participate.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

East pushes for 50m QE II pool 

In Brief 


COASTAL-BURWOOD Ward 

city councillor David East is 

pushing for the community to 

“have a conversation” about the 

possibility of a 50m pool at the 

new QE II. 

The call comes after Minister 

for Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Megan Woods 

announced a U-turn on the 

proposed Metro Sports Facility, 

axing the current 

contractors 

Leighs Cockram 

Joint Venture. 

Dr Woods 

announced there 

were ‘considerable 

issues’ with 

the plans for the 

David East 

multi-million dollar complex, 

including a $75 million budget 

blowout, making the proposed 

costs more than $321 million. 

Dr Woods’ spokesman said 

right now she is focusing on 

investigating options for the 

central city. 

“This includes the possibility 

of combining the Metro Sports 

Facility and the Multi-Use Arena 

. . . however, we are meeting with 

the sports codes this week and 

are keen to listen to any ideas 

they have.” 

The facility is planned to 

include a 10-lane 50m swimming 

pool, separate diving pool area, 

five hydroslides, group fitness 

rooms, high performance sports 

centre, a cafe, childcare facility 

and indoor courts with space for 

nine netball courts. 

Cr East questions whether a 

complex that size is needed in 

the city. 

“Perhaps it is timely to 

consider building the 50m pool 

at QE II . . . the proposed site for 

metro sports is worse land than 

QE II and it would seem a quick 

fix to build the 50m pool at QE 

II where it was for many years 

and was well accepted by the 

city,” said Cr East in a post on 

Facebook. 

He claims the cost of adding 

a 50m pool to QE II would be 

‘vastly less’ than a new complex 

and would leave an indoor sports 

complex for the city to cater 

for other sport such as netball, 

which could be built at a lesser

cost. Cr East believes the 

project could easily be started 

within a year as “a large part 

of the infrastructure is already 

there.” 

“When we designed and 

commissioned the build we’ve 

got now, one of the key aspects of 

that design was that if we needed 

to add to it in any fashion, ie 

a 50m pool, it could be done 

relatively easily.” 

Cr East said the idea will have 

community backing. 

GRANT FOR SURF CLUB 

North Beach Surf Life Saving 

Club has received a $2000 grant. 

The club will use the funds to 

purchase CPR training manikins 

to help teach juniors and 

lifeguards CPR. The grant was 

gifted by Grace Gives NZ, which 

awards finalists with grants 

based on public vote. Recently 

the surf club had a specialist 

IRB trailer stolen in a string of 

thefts targeting a Surf Life Saving 

New Zealand compound in New 

Brighton. 

FUNDRAISER RECIPIENTS 

The Rockabilly Show and 

Shine organisers have announced 

the recipients of this year’s 

fundraising efforts. The New

• By Andrew King 

JESEL ROYOKADA embodies 

everything that is the Star Media 

City2Surf. 

Last year he was photographed 

leaping into the air after crossing 

the line capturing the spirit of the 

event. 

Now, the Christchurch Fijian 

Seventh-Day Adventist Church 

pastor has asked his congregation 

of about 80 to get involved in the 

event as a way to connect with 

other cultures. 

“We come from the islands and 

sometimes we do things in our 

own island groups but it is good 

to get involved with the rest of 

the community,” he said. 

The 31-year-old encouraged 

about 25 of his parishioners to 

get involved in the event last year 

“It was the first time our 

church has got involved with 

something like this,” he said. 

He said they were told 

about the event by Healthy 

Families Christchurch, part 

of a nationwide Government 

initiative aimed at helping New 

Zealanders live healthy, active 

lives. 

“I would like to see all 80 of 

them out there, and their friends 

and families. We can even have 

kids in prams at the event,” he 

said. 

He said they will start to train 

soon for the event, which will be 

held on March 18. 

The event is split into two 

sections – 6km and 14km. 

The Star Media City2Surf with 

Les Mills 14km event starts in 

Centennial Park, Spreydon, at 

9am. 

The Sport Canterbury 6km 

event starts at 10am in Hansen 

Park, Opawa. 

Both finish at the Ferrymead 

playing fields. There will be 

after-event entertainment 

with live music, food and free 

children’s entertainment in the 

finish area. 

Earlybird entries open online 

on December 1 and cost $20. 

They can be purchased from

Standard entry from January 1 

will cost $25 online or tickets can

From school rugby to world stage 


• By Andrew King 

THREE international centres, 

one school: This is the story of 

the 2004 Shirley Boys’ High first 

XV. 

Phil Burleigh (Scotland), 

Ryan Crotty (All Blacks) and 

Kieron Fonotia (Manu Samoa) 

are all plying their trade on the 

international scene. 

However, they were all a part 

of the 2004 Shirley Boys’ High 

first XV. 

They also played through the 

grades at New Brighton. 

But at Shirley Boys’ High, 

they only played seven games 

between them in the midfield – 

all in the 2004 season. 

Burleigh spent most of his 

time in 2004 as the first choice 

halfback, Crotty ran the backline 

at No 10 before finishing the 

last four games of the season 

at second-five. Fonotia split his 

time between right wing and 

fullback. 

They now all don the No 13 

jersey. 

Shirley assistant coach in 2004, 

Mike Skinner, said they were 

all good boys who spent a lot of 

time on the back field “sunning 

themselves”. 

He said Crotty could win 

YOUNG STARS: Phil Burleigh (front row fourth from left), Ryan Crotty (third row far right), Kieron 

Fonotia (third row third from right) and Setaimata Sa (fourth row third from right) were all in the 

Shirley first XV in 2004. 

games when the rest of the side 

wasn’t playing well, Burleigh 

was the glue who didn’t make 

a mistake, and Fonatia was a 

natural sportsman who had a 

massive step. 

“They had a good year, which 

built into a very good year for 

2005 where we almost went all 

the way,” he said. 

Crotty, known back then as 

Goofy, has made the centre 

position his own in the All 

Blacks while Fonotia, Fonzy, 

made his debut against the 

men in black earlier in the year. 

Fonotia has played seven tests for 

Manu Samoa since then. 

Burleigh, known as Burls to 

his Shirley teammates, played his 

first game for Scotland against 

Australia last month in what 

was a record-setting eight-try 

demolition in front of more than 

67,000 at Murrayfield. 

There was genuine excitement 

from Burleigh’s father, Wayne, 

and Crotty’s father, Steve, who 

used to flat together on Marine 

Pde, New Brighton, when there 

was a possibility Burleigh 

could have made his debut 

against Crotty and the All 

Blacks. 

However, Burleigh was not 

selected for the test. 

Setaimata Sa was the No 8 in 

the Shirley team in 2004. 

He has played both union and 

league and was part of the 2008 

World Cup-winning Kiwis 

side. He’s also played five league 

tests for Samoa and one for the 

union side. 

He now plays league for the 

Mackay Cutters in Queensland. 

Fonotia has been playing for 

Welsh side, Ospreys, one of four 

professional union teams in the 

country which compete in the 

Pro14 and the European Rugby 

Champions Cup. 

In 2018, Fonotia will move to 

Scarlets, another Welsh club. 

Burleigh joined Edinburgh 

Rugby on a two-year deal in 

2014 from the Highlanders and 

extended his contract in 2016 for 

another two years. 

His time playing in Scotland 

made him eligible for selection 

in the national side. 

However, he also has Scottish 

heritage with his greatgrandmother 

born in Aberdeen.

Legal action threatened over flooding

“Also, we pay rates, which

How a potentially expensive

sincerely hope that we have a 

responsible local government 

that it doesn’t have to come to 

that.”

Readers respond to the 

New Brighton fireworks 

display article 

Pamela Neil – No more 

fireworks until the whole 

thing can be done in a more 

professional way. Take a lesson 

from Sydney and Brisbane. 

Tamsin Carter – Guy Fawkes 

fireworks display should be held 

on Guy Fawkes Day. It’s the backyard 

fireworks that should go. Although 

the traffic is bad getting 

in and out of New Brighton, the 

view for the show on the pier is 

great . . . you can also watch from 

up on the hills. 

Tanya Didham – Would 

prefer to see New Brighton 

fireworks in winter, maybe to 

celebrate mid-winter/Matariki! 

Guy Fawkes is just a weird thing 

to celebrate anyway, and it’s a bit 

silly having to wait so long for it 

to get dark. 

Ruben Witteman – No. 

The pier is cool, you can sit 

on the beach miles away and 

see them clearly. Better than 

everyone crammed into Hagley 

Park. 

Nic Davies – Yes, move it into 

the park, New Brighton is too 

hard to get in and out of. 

Karen Beaumont – Why 

not have two, on both side of 

town at the same time. Split the 

problems. 

Madeleine Hurricks – Matariki 

time please . . . less fire risk, 

more dark hours and so Kiwi. 

Aubrey Walker – Majority 

rules, keep Guy Fawkes in New 

Brighton. 

Maryanne Hay – Don’t 

change it, it is set on November 

5 for a reason people need to get 

over themselves. It’s once a year, 

your kids ain’t going to die from 

staying up late one night in the 

year and don’t change it from 

New Brighton, we get forgotten 

here and I would hate for them to 

take this away from us locals too. 

Jo Zuydendorp – If it ain’t 

broke, don’t fix it. 

Hamish Middleton – Weekend 

before daylight saving. 

Could do somewhere like Riccarton 

or Addington Racecourse 

where there is heaps of parking, 

heaps of seating and lots of access. 

Could have music/bands 

with existing set up. 

Sylvia Oliver – How about it 

just stops. Try New Year instead. 

Peter Warren – Leave it at 

New Brighton . . . we don’t need 

to set fire to any other part of the 

city . . . safer over water. It would 

be an advantage to hold it before 

daylight saving . . . winter hours 

would be good but weather/temperatures 

less predictable. And 

get rid of firework sales. 

Anne Marchant – Yes, fireworks 

should be at mid-winter. 

Earlier, darker, more fun. It’s the 

right time of year. Who cares 

about this guy, Fawkes? It would 

be nice to borrow the name Matariki, 

if local Maori agree. But 

let’s have the winter fireworks 

anyway. Traffic problems can be 

solved – treat it as a rehearsal for 

emergency evacuation, and direct 

some traffic over the Bridge 

St bridge. 

Philip Humphreys – It’s 

the one time of the year New 

Brighton gets to put itself on 

show why take that’s away from 

the east side. 

Tania Watkins – European 

history is as much a part of New 

Zealand history now as Maori 

history. Or the history of any 

other culture living here. When 

are we going to celebrate being a 

multi-cultural community? 

Readers respond to the 

merger plan for the Rawhiti 

and Avondale golf clubs 

which has gone off course 

Jo Zervos – These golf 

courses should not have been included 

in Regenerate’s planning 

options at all, they are not part of 

the red zone. 

Rachel Turner – Maybe that 

was the idea – for the council to 

portray that they are “listening 

to the people”, when it was never 

going to happen in the first place. 

Tanya Didham – Was a 

completely weird last minute addition. 

I certainly hope it is dead 

in the water. 

Pamela Neil – There are 

more important issues in the city 

than worrying about where to 

relocate a golf course. 

Richard Rowe – We all 

hope the Government will act on 

what the majority tell them they 

want or don’t want. Especially 

when they ask for it. Does anyone 

believe Regenerate Christchurch 

will do that? 

Karen Whila - Good it was a 

silly idea for the red zone. 

Stephen Graham – Rawhiti 

should be left as it is, a park/reserve/golf 

course (and, of course, 

cricket, culture at its highest).

Pond to be 

drained to 

control midges 

WATER IS being drained from 

one of the oxidation ponds in 

Bromley as part of an ongoing 

programme to reduce midge 

numbers in the area. 

The city council has traditionally 

relied on chemical dosing 

alone to keep their numbers 

down. The fish-free shallow, warm 

waters of the oxidation ponds are 

the perfect breeding ground for 

midges. 

“A critical step in the life cycle 

of the midge is spent as larvae in 

the sediment at the bottom of the 

ponds,’’ said city council water 

and wastwater operations manager 

Adam Twose. 

“Emptying the pond and 

exposing the sediment to the 

sun, dries the sediment out 

and removes the moisture the 

larvae need to survive, effectively 

sterilising the pond of midges,’’ 

said Mr Twose. 

The technique is being trialled 

in one pond initially. 

“We will be monitoring the 

situation closely as there is a possibility 

that odours and dust could 

be generated as the pond bottom 

dries out. However, if the trial 

is as successful as we hope and 

doesn’t have too many unexpected 

side effects, we could sunbake the 

other ponds in the future.’’ 

Principal retires on high note 


SOUTH NEW Brighton School’s 

principal will retire after 10 years 

at the helm. 

John Bockett will finish up at 

the end of the year. 

He will be replaced by Sue 

Walls, who is principal at Ramarama 

School, near the Bombay 

Hills south of Auckland. 

The father of three begun at 

the school in 2007 and was principal 

during the earthquakes and 

school merger process. 

Board of trustees chairman 

John Pearson said Mr Bockett 

‘shepherded’ the school through 

these times. 

“(He) leaves our school with a 

strong curriculum, a stable staff 

and many fond memories for 

students, staff and families.” 

Mr Pearson said for some staff 

and students, he is the only principal 

they have worked with. 

“Parting will be tough . . . 

John has also started us on the 

path of rebuilding, both the 

physical school and restoring the 

confidence of the community. 

Our new principal is tasked with 

continuing that rebuilding and 

leading the school to the next 

stage of development,” said Mr 

Pearson. 

Mr Bockett’s retirement plans 

include rest and relaxation,

haka year 3 and 4 children from South New Brighton School. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

spending time with grandchildren 

and travels in his caravan 

and overseas. 

He said the biggest low in his 

10 years was following the earthquake, 

hearing that the school 

may be considered for a merger, 

or that it may no longer exist. 

An equally high point, however, 

was when this didn’t happen, 

and the school managed to 

change the view of the Minster of 

Education. 

“We stayed our own identity 

. . . that was a pretty massive day 

when we heard that,” he said. 

Mr Bockett is also proud 

of achieving his goal of being 

one of the first schools on east 

Christchurch to reopen after the 

PEGASUS POST 

earthquake. 

“I am very sad about leaving, 

I will certainly miss the place. It 

will be very strange waking up 

in the morning and not having 

to get ready for work,” said Mr 

Bockett. 

“The kids keep me young too, 

I will have to look to my grandkids 

to help with that now.”

Shops bursting with 

festive gift ideas 

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making 

up the Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you 

haven’t already done so. 

Finding those special gifts and stocking 

fillers as well as the Christmas treats for 

the table is so easy at our city’s malls and 

shopping centres, where the shops are 

bursting with festive merchandise. 

Every woman likes to receive bodypampering 

gifts, and there is a huge 

selection of these priced to suit all budgets 

at the many pharmacies and gift shops 

around the city. Perfume is another 

favourite and again there is a wide 

selection to choose from, ranging from 

exciting new releases to the well-known 

fragrances that have stood the test of time. 

Lingerie, jewellery, fashion accessories, 

homewares and decor items – there’s no

Christmas 

Creative wrapping 

adds intrigue to gifts 

The first tip to make the job easier and 

the wrapping look more professional is to 

do the task on a flat surface – a table or a 

hard floor. 

Recycling has become an important 

aspect of modern-day life, and that’s easy 

to do with gift-wrapping. For example, 

those brown paper bags you have put 

aside are ideal, especially for odd-shaped 

gifts. To give them a Christmassy look, 

you could glue on those left-over pieces 

of wrapping paper from last year that are 

too small to use, and add a candy cane or 

chocolate with the gift tag. 

Another quirky idea is to wrap your gifts 

in fabric. You could cut up a garment you 

no longer wear, or look out those left over 

pieces from curtains or clothing you have 

made. Tie them up with fabric ribbon to 

complete the look. 

in Pegasus Post 

Most of the malls offer a free gift-wrapping service, which 

is a great help at this busy time, but for those who prefer 

to wrap their own here are a few ideas to make gifts look 

unique and exciting. 

Using newspaper or cardboard boxes as 

wrapping is another recycling idea, and 

you could add a festive look by tying 

them with Christmas ribbon. 

For long-shaped gifts, why not wrap them 

to look like a Christmas cracker. Place a 

tube of cardboard around the item, then 

put it inside a sheet of wrapping paper, 

secure it with tape then scrunch up the 

ends like a cracker and tie them off with 

coloured ribbon. 

Kitchen foil is another wrapping option. 

Being silver and shiny it already has a 

festive look, which you could enhance 

with bright-coloured ribbon. 

Make a container, such as a jar, tin or 

tray one part of the gift. Complete it with 

chocolates, nuts or biscuits and wrap the 

gift in clear cellophane tied with brightcoloured 

ribbon.

SENIOR LIVING 

1 in 2 people 

deficient in B12 

Emerging research has shown as 

many as 50% of older adults & as many 

as 25% of younger adults are deficient 

in vitamin B12. Scientists at Rush 

University Medical Center found those 

most deficient in vitamin B12 to have the 

smallest brain mass & the lowest scores 

on tests measuring short-term memory, 

concentration & brain performance. 

Another study showed that older people 

with higher levels of B12 in their blood 

have bigger, healthier brains & score 

higher on cognitive tests than those with 

lower levels. Yet another recent landmark 

study showed that B12 supplementation 

slows the accelerated rate of brain 

shrinkage & declining cognitive function. 

B12 is essential for energy production, cell 

health, regulation of mood & sleep cycles, 

nerve health & repair, & prevention of 

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular 

risk factor that is known to cause damage 

& plaque in the blood vessels. It 

can also increase 

the chances of a 

stroke. Harvard 

researchers found 

a 34% decrease risk 

of vision loss in a 

study of participants 

aged 40+ who supplemented with B12. 

Another study linked a higher risk of 

hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who 

were low in B12. 

The reason so many people lack B12 

appears to be our body’s ability to absorb 

it declining with age as the digestive 

system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux 

medication & other drugs further reduce 

B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in 

the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual 

tablets that are dissolved in the mouth & 

thru bypassing the digestive tract have 

been shown to effectively raise B12 levels 

in the body. 

Further detailed information is 

available from the Natural Health 

Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural 

Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are

IS YOUR BRAIN SHRINKING? 

BRAIN FOG, FORGETFUL, FEELING OLD, LOW ENERGY, MOOD SWINGS, 

DIFFICULTY SLEEPING, PINS & NEEDLES, NUMBNESS IN LEGS 

Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12. 

Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain 

shrinkage & support memory & brain function. B12 is also known to protect against 

homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that can also damage the hearing, 

eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy, cell health & nerve function.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

New hope for patients 

suffering from MS, 

strokes or spinal injuries 

For those seeking relief from pain caused by injury, and other physical and mental 

health issues, Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao offers a method of treatment 

that brings fast, and often immediate results. 

PEGASUS POST 

Special offer for DeceMBer - if you 

have suffered a stroke, spinal injury or 

have MS, then this article is for you. 

A graduate of Beijing Medical College, Dr Lan 

established an acupuncture clinic in Christchurch 

in 1993. As she continued her research and medical 

practice, she discovered a reflexology network on 

the human body, an exciting new discovery that 

became the foundation of her new treatment – 

acupuncture without needles. 

Instead of needles, Dr Lan uses a blunt instrument 

to stimulate the reflexology points on the face 

or other parts of the body. When the point is 

stimulated by pressure, a message is sent to the 

repair centre to promote healing. As Dr Lan 

explains, the treatment increases energy, which 

boosts the body’s healing system. 

The body will heal injuries naturally, she says, but 

that is a slow process. In addition, many people will 

start to use their injured part, for example a knee 

or an ankle, before it is properly healed, therefore 

prolonging the injury and even causing chronic 

pain. 

With her powerful treatment, results are produced 

very quickly – even instantly. 

She likens it to the differences between the 

power of a car – natural healing, of an aeroplane 

– other types of natural healing, and of a rocket – 

reflexology network. 

It brings fast results because it is a very precise 

treatment, Dr Lan says. She uses it to treat people 

of all ages with many different types of pain in all 

parts of the body, including arthritic pain, MS, 

and pain from injury, and there are no side-effects. 

Depression and anxiety, often the result of ongoing 

low energy, can also be overcome with Dr Lan’s 

treatment. 

Dr Lan’s treatment can give amazing, instant 

improvement for muscle weakness and numbness 

caused by nerve damage such as MS, stroke 

and spinal injury. Search You Tube for Dr Lan 

reflexology to see lots of instant results videos. 

Dr Lan has published a book, Dr Lan’s Reflexology 

Network, which introduces the treatment and 

explains how it works. Her website, www. 

drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes treatment 

videos, where people who have had the treatment 

speak about the fast relief it has brought them. 

Dr Lan is offering 10 patients of stroke, 10 

patients of MS and 10 patients of spinal injury 

half price for their rehabb. Phone 323 4168, 

mobile 027 231 8388.

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe 

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the 

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that 

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, 

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or 

on to the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place 

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators 

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance 

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid 

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. 

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high 

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that 

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability 

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course 

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a 

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight 

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, 

hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in 

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children
