Longer wait for pit decision<br />
Residents frustrated after no update given on council action<br />
GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING<br />
It could be more than two months until<br />
the city council makes a decision on what<br />
action will be taken over the controversial<br />
Owaka Pit.<br />
The abatement notice issued on April<br />
14, 2015, said all medium density<br />
fibre had to be removed by April 13,<br />
<strong>2016</strong>.<br />
As of last month only 500.84 tonnes<br />
have been removed out of 9000.<br />
Residents have become frustrated after<br />
expecting to hear an update on the action<br />
the city council would take at the Riccarton-Wigram<br />
Community Board meeting<br />
earlier this month.<br />
But they were left disappointed as there<br />
was no city council staff member to give<br />
an update.<br />
Resident Julie Shivas said it was<br />
unacceptable and<br />
someone from the<br />
city council should have<br />
been at the meeting.<br />
But city council head<br />
of regulatory compliance<br />
Tracey <strong>Western</strong> said the<br />
delay was because they<br />
were commissioning an<br />
environmental assessment<br />
report.<br />
She said the completion of the environment<br />
report will guide their next course<br />
of action which will take about eight<br />
weeks.<br />
The pit on Owaka Rd has been a source<br />
of contention for years and in 2013 the<br />

ONGOING PROBLEM: It could be more than two months until the city council makes a decision on what action they will take now that<br />
the Owaka Holdings Ltd abatement notice has expired.<br />

MDF spontaneously caught alight taking<br />
weeks to contain.<br />
Owaka Holdings’ Alan Edge has defended<br />
the amount of MDF cleared from the<br />
pit after the abatement notice to removed<br />
9000 tonnes expired two weeks ago.<br />
Mr Edge said under the circumstance, it<br />
had done “extremely well” to remove the<br />
amount they have.<br />
He said the 12-month time frame on the<br />
abatement notice served on the company<br />
by the city council was too short.<br />
Mr Edge said it was limited by the<br />
number of trucks allowed entry into Kate<br />
Valley Landfill each day.<br />
“We are still carting it to Kate Valley.<br />
We haven’t stopped and we are not going<br />
to stop,” he said.<br />
But community board chairman Mike<br />
Mora said it was not the board’s problem.<br />
Mr Edge had an abatement notice of<br />
12 months.<br />
He said the MDF never should have<br />
been there in the first place.<br />
“There are some limitations I believe<br />
but he has had years to get rid of that<br />
stuff,” Mr Mora said.<br />

EYESORE: Halswell Domain was hit with another lot of tagging during Anzac weekend.<br />
Halswell Domain hit by taggers<br />
GEORGIA O’CONNOR-<br />
HARDING<br />
The Halswell Domain has had<br />
yet another graffiti attack<br />
– this time over Anzac<br />
weekend.<br />
Tagging is becoming<br />
a regular occurrence<br />
with 28 incidents at the<br />
domain recorded by the<br />
city council in the last<br />
year.<br />
Residents said the public<br />
toilets, part of the Canterbury<br />
Society of Model and<br />
Experimental Engineer’s shed,<br />
as well as a contractor’s shed on<br />
Halswell Rd, was tagged over<br />
the weekend.<br />

park in Halswell has come<br />

to a head with concerns from<br />
residents living nearby that if it<br />
is installed anti-social behaviour<br />
problems will escalate.<br />
But Riccarton-Wigram<br />
Community Board<br />
chairman Mike Mora (left)<br />
said the tagging and the<br />
installation of the skate park<br />
are separate issues.<br />
“It may de-escalate it –<br />
we don’t know,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the city council<br />
will be going around the schools<br />
to talk about the issue of graffiti.<br />
It was recorded by the city<br />
council between April 1, 2015,<br />
and April 28, <strong>2016</strong>, 28 incidents<br />
had occurred at the Halswell<br />
Domain involving graffiti.<br />

spent the last two days at the<br />
Halswell Domain cleaning up<br />
the graffiti and a full inspection<br />
was carried out April 22 and last<br />
Monday.<br />
She said a number of tags had<br />
appeared over the weekend and<br />
have since been removed.<br />
Residents say they have been<br />
plagued with graffiti on vehicles,<br />
fences, footpaths along with<br />
damage to property over the past<br />
few years.<br />
Police are saying while people<br />
get prosecuted for tagging, and<br />
there is an active community<br />
patrol out at the domain which<br />
reports to the police, tagging is a<br />
community issue.<br />
Senior Sergeant Pete Stills<br />
said there needs to be more<br />
education for parents being<br />
8047287AA<br />
$<br />
40<br />
aware about what their children<br />
are up to.<br />
He said it is also about<br />
working with shops in terms of<br />
selling sprays or marker pens to<br />
young people and ensuring they<br />
are for legitimate reasons.<br />
“Halswell Domain is not<br />
really on our radar – it is a safe<br />
place . . . we have got far worse<br />
suburbs.”<br />
Senior Sergeant Stills said<br />
the shrubs and trees around the<br />
public toilets could be removed<br />
to make the area more visible<br />
as well as locking the toilets out<br />
of hours could help reduce the<br />
problems.<br />

PROPOSED MEDIAN STRIP<br />
On behalf of the Kauri Lodge<br />
Rest Home and Retirement<br />
Home, Hamish Bennett<br />
addressed the Riccarton-Wigram<br />
Community Board earlier this<br />
month regarding a proposed<br />
medium strip. Mr Bennett<br />
expressed concern his business<br />
may be affected if a medium strip<br />
design was not altered to enable<br />
right-turn vehicle movements<br />
to occur. The retirement home<br />
is based at 148 to 154 Riccarton<br />

respond back to the board.<br />

Amputee’s story told<br />
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE<br />
When Trixie Wuts was born<br />
her parents had a very difficult<br />
decision to make whether or not<br />
to amputate both of her legs to the<br />
knee.<br />
On the advice of<br />
medical professionals,<br />
Trixie’s parents Anton<br />
and Margot Wuts decided<br />
amputation was<br />
the best solution.<br />
Their experience<br />
has been documented<br />
in a children’s book<br />
that they wrote, called<br />
Little Jellybean.<br />
It is being distributed<br />
by the Amputee<br />
Society of Canterbury<br />
and Westland to help<br />
families facing a<br />
similar choice.<br />
The society<br />
helped get a $5000 grant for the<br />
publishing and distribution of the<br />
book from the Artificial Limb<br />
Service.<br />
Trixie was diagnosed with distal<br />
arthrogryposis before she was<br />
born, meaning she had crooked or<br />
hooked joints in her feet.<br />
She had many procedures done<br />
when she was born, which attempted<br />
to correct the deformities<br />
in both of her feet, but they were<br />
largely unsuccessful.<br />
The surgery however, was and<br />
Trixie now “leads a full and active<br />
life” with her new feet.<br />
Amputee Society of Canterbury<br />
and Westland president Mark<br />
Bruce said the more families that<br />
can be reached with the book, the<br />
better.<br />
“It’s about raising<br />
awareness for parents<br />
in a situation where<br />
their child is very<br />
unwell. The story<br />
is mainly about the<br />
parents having to make<br />
an incredibly tough<br />
decision to help their<br />
children,” he said.<br />
Mr Bruce said the<br />
book will become an<br />
invaluable source for<br />
those looking for support.<br />
“If you have a young<br />
one with an amputation<br />
or have a young one about to undergo<br />
an amputation then this is a<br />
great resource.<br />
“The future of the federation is<br />
in its youth . . . If we can affect<br />
just one family with the help of<br />
this book, then it’s been a worthwhile<br />
venture,” he said.<br />
The society are making copies<br />
of the book available from<br />
their national and regional coordinators,<br />
who can be contacted<br />
on www.af.org.nz.<br />

SVA calls on helping hands<br />
for tree planting campaign<br />
BY ALEX LIM<br />
About 190 Canterbury<br />
University staff, students and<br />
community members joined<br />
forces to plant 2000 native<br />
trees as part of the nation-wide<br />
campaign.<br />
The Student Volunteer Army<br />
recruited help to plant the trees<br />
at Woodend Beach Holiday<br />
Park as part of the Serve for NZ<br />
campaign it started on the fifth<br />
anniversary of the February<br />
2011 earthquake.<br />
It was started to mobilise<br />
people of all ages to contribute<br />
one hour of community service<br />
and coincided with Anzac Day<br />
this year.<br />
As of April 23, 4261 individuals<br />
have pledged 6249 hours<br />
of community service.<br />
The tree planting is part of<br />
a five-year planting scheme<br />
where future forest giants like<br />
kahikatea, totara and matai<br />
were planted.<br />
Te Kōhaka o Tūhaitara Trust<br />
general manager Greg Byrnes<br />
said native trees like kahikatea<br />
were the fruit baskets of the<br />
forest that reduced soil erosion<br />

and preserved the eco-system.<br />
Matai and kahikatea could<br />
live beyond 600 years while<br />
totara could be around for<br />
2000 years.<br />
“We are planting for the millennium,”<br />
Byrnes said.<br />
Project Crimson Trust donated<br />
the trees,<br />
SVA legacy project coordinator<br />
Shirana Rengasamy<br />
said: “It is pretty awesome<br />
that we can leave behind<br />
something that will continue to<br />
grow and be around for future<br />
generations.”<br />

My Kitchen Rules NZ contestants<br />
take business nationwide<br />
GEORGIA O’CONNOR-<br />
HARDING<br />
A popular couple who made<br />
their mark on the first My<br />
Kitchen Rules NZ is taking<br />
their healthy food business<br />
nationwide.<br />
After setting up their own<br />
commercial kitchen in Avonhead<br />
last year, Jessie Smulders<br />
and Ricki-Mae Paisley started<br />
Healthkicks, delivering healthy<br />
food direct to workplaces in the<br />
city.<br />
It has been so successful, in<br />
June, the couple will take their<br />
business national.<br />
“People all over New<br />
Zealand will be able to<br />
get our food which is<br />
exciting and scary,”<br />
Miss Smulders said.<br />
This means any<br />
food ordered from<br />
Healthkicks will be<br />
sent in overnight<br />
transport around the<br />

INNOVATIVE TRANSPORT<br />
IDEAS SOUGHT<br />
If you think you have a bright<br />
idea on how to improve ease<br />
of travel in the city then check<br />
out the Transport Innovation<br />
Fund. The city council is<br />
allocating a share of $40,000<br />
in funding to people who can<br />
present an innovative, low-cost<br />
transport initiative for the city.<br />
There are plenty of emerging<br />
examples in this space, and the<br />
city council is looking to the<br />
community to introduce some<br />
creative ones to Christchurch.<br />
To help applicants prepare,<br />
the city council is running<br />
three information sessions.<br />
The sessions will be held<br />
tomorrow, 1.30-2.30pm and<br />
Wednesday, <strong>May</strong> 11, 5-6pm<br />

Housing subsidy still needed<br />
A Government heating and<br />
insulation subsidy programme<br />
comes to an end in June. Community<br />
Energy Action Charitable<br />
Trust chief executive Caroline<br />
Shone writes this week’s column<br />
about the importance of the<br />
programme and why it should<br />
continue in some form.<br />
Shelter is one of<br />
the most basic of<br />
human needs and<br />
the Universal<br />
Declaration<br />
of Human<br />
Rights says that<br />
everyone has the<br />
right to housing.<br />
It can be debated that housing<br />
that makes people sick, isn’t housing<br />
at all.<br />
However, houses that are damp,<br />
houses that are cold, with the<br />
people living in them unable to<br />
heat them to an adequate temperature<br />
to keep them healthy, are<br />
a reality for many households in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
The old, the young and the sick<br />
suffer most in those houses.<br />
We all know the result.<br />
Every winter sees many residents<br />
ending up in hospital with<br />
preventable cold-related health issues.<br />
Even healthy people get sick<br />
more often in those cold, damp<br />
houses.<br />
SOAP<br />
BOX<br />
From experience we know that<br />
installing insulation and heating<br />
in people’s homes especially those<br />
with health conditions will reduce<br />
hospitalisations, delivering cost<br />
savings to the health system.<br />
Installing insulation and heating<br />
is a one-off cost but the benefits<br />
last a long time, saving money on<br />
health and saving lives every year.<br />
The Government through the<br />
Energy Efficiency and Conservation<br />
Authority has spent $450<br />
million nationwide on insulation<br />
and heating subsidies over the last<br />
couple of years.<br />
And we know it has made a<br />
difference.<br />
The current subsidy programme<br />
comes to an end in June this year.<br />
It would be fantastic if subsidies<br />
would be available in the future<br />
for those who need insulation.<br />
It’s a great way for Christchurch<br />
people to help those in their community<br />
who need a bit of help to<br />
create a warm, dry, healthy home.<br />

Give the kids a chance<br />
Kennedys Bush<br />
resident Chrys Horn<br />
writes that it makes<br />
“no sense” to assume<br />
graffiti and property<br />
damage at Halswell<br />
Domain will increase<br />
if a proposed skate<br />
park goes ahead.<br />
I was surprised at the<br />
narrow scope of last week’s<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> article Skate<br />
park debate fires up, which<br />
talked to four blokes who are<br />
dead against having a skate<br />
park in the domain and seem<br />
to have it in for kids on wheels<br />
– unless those wheels are on a<br />
miniature train, of course.<br />
My reading of the article was<br />
that their concern was not so<br />
much about a skate park but<br />
about the tagging that has been<br />
happening around Halswell,<br />
and the domain in particular.<br />
There are a couple of<br />
observations I’d like to make<br />
on this.<br />
It makes no sense to accuse<br />
kids who do not yet use the<br />
domain of things that are going<br />
on there already. Perhaps<br />
it’s the kids who play rugby<br />
league, soccer, netball, touch<br />
or softball or who ride miniature<br />
trains who are doing that<br />
tagging, since they are already<br />
WARM STEAM<br />
VAPORIZER<br />
using the park. I personally<br />
don’t believe<br />
this, but it makes more<br />
sense to suppose this<br />
than to accuse skateboarders<br />
rollerbladers,<br />
scooterers or stunt<br />
cyclists who are not<br />
even there yet.<br />
For sure, tagging is<br />
an issue and people<br />
really don’t like it but let’s deal<br />
with the tagging as the separate<br />
issue that it is. Why blame it on<br />
a bunch of kids who couldn’t<br />
possibly have done it?<br />
I’m sad that we prefer the<br />
idea of dismissing local kids<br />
with an interest in wheel sports<br />
over working together on the<br />
problem of tagging.<br />
My question is how can we<br />
work together to sort out the<br />
one or two taggers around<br />
the place who are causing the<br />
trouble? I’m sure we’re equal<br />
to this challenge and that as a<br />
community we could come up<br />
with some great ideas on how<br />

to catch a tagger or perhaps<br />
channel their interests into<br />
something more constructive.<br />
As for noise, all of the<br />
potential sites that are being<br />
consulted on are well away<br />
from private homes so that<br />
noise is not an issue. Oddly,<br />
where I live, the biggest noise<br />
is not go-karters or longboarders<br />
speeding past my gate or<br />
people talking and shouting<br />
in the park next door, but cars<br />
driving past my gate. I’m<br />
guessing that the most noise<br />
for most people living in<br />
around parks is actually cars<br />
driving past at 50-60km/h.<br />
We are a community that<br />
has around 4000 children and<br />
young people and we need to<br />
provide them with spaces and<br />
opportunities to develop their<br />
social and physical skills. We<br />
provide playgrounds and sports<br />
grounds so why not a skate<br />
park and could we do it please<br />
without making these young<br />
people feel that they don’t<br />
have a place in our community<br />
and that they are a lesser, more<br />
dangerous species?<br />
Most of the young people I<br />
know are amazing and many<br />
contribute a great deal to this<br />
community. I want to live in a<br />
community that supports them<br />
and offers them opportunities.<br />

WESTERN NEWS Tuesday <strong>May</strong> 3 <strong>2016</strong> 7<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> article on<br />
residents’ fears that anti-social<br />
issues might escalate if a skate<br />
park is installed in Halswell<br />
Domain:<br />
Darryl Clarke: You did a<br />
piece in the paper on residents<br />
not wanting the skate park in<br />
Halswell Domain. Well we<br />
agree as on Tuesday night<br />
all our cars on the road or<br />
driveways on William Brittan<br />
Ave got tagged including mine.<br />
The walkway next to my house<br />
on the path was spray-painted<br />
with some very rude words.<br />
TRANSFORMATION: The concept design for the $9 million upgrade<br />
at Halswell Residential College. The construction is expected to be<br />
completed by January next year.<br />
PHOTO: MINISTRY OF EDUCATION<br />
Kate Cleverly: As a local<br />
resident and mother-of-two I<br />
am very disappointed to read<br />
the one-sided article around the<br />
proposed skate and recreation<br />
facility for Halswell.<br />
I have worked for many<br />
years with children and young<br />
people in our community and<br />
have never found them to be<br />
anything less than respectful.<br />
The issues raised over the<br />
placement of the proposed skate<br />
park are biased, judgemental<br />
and quite insulting.<br />
To suggest that skateboarders<br />
are all young boys who are<br />
a spray-can wielding social<br />
nuisance is quite frankly<br />
ridiculous.<br />
The skateboarders I know –<br />
who range in age from three to<br />
23 and are most definitely both<br />
girls and boys – are far from<br />
synonymous with anti-social<br />
behaviour. They are kind, caring<br />
and respectful young people<br />
who just want to do something<br />
other than play traditional<br />
sports or swing on the swings.<br />
Rather than detracting from<br />
the domain a carefully planned<br />
skate and recreation facility<br />
will enhance Halswell, and<br />
provide an activity for children<br />
like mine who are too old (or<br />
just don’t enjoy) to play on<br />
the playgrounds or ride on the<br />
trains.<br />
The domain could become a<br />
thriving hub of activity which<br />
really does have something for<br />
everyone.<br />
I would strongly suggest that<br />
those opposed to the facility<br />
for reasons such as anti-social<br />
behaviour, tagging and noise<br />
actually visit a functioning<br />
skate park like the one in<br />
Prebbleton and, rather than<br />
dismiss all young people as<br />
delinquent, actually talk to them<br />
and ask them for their view and<br />
how they might overcome such<br />
concerns.<br />
I have and I can assure you<br />
the last thing they want is that<br />
kind of behaviour and they<br />
have some great suggestions for<br />
making sure it doesn’t happen.<br />
$9m upgrade for special<br />
education college<br />
Halswell Residential College<br />
will be undergoing a $9 million<br />
upgrade with construction<br />
expected to be completed by<br />
January.<br />
Four new family-style villas<br />
will be built to accommodate up<br />
to 32 students.<br />
The plan is to replace<br />
the institutional-style<br />
accommodation blocks and help<br />
enhance the school’s education<br />
programme.<br />
The new redevelopment is designed<br />
to have a multi-purpose<br />
learning environment allowing<br />
students and staff to be together<br />
in a welcoming and multi-functional<br />
space.<br />
It will include earthquake<br />
strengthening of the main school<br />
buildings and an upgrade of the<br />
carer’s accommodation.<br />
Halswell Residential College<br />
provides round-the-clock special<br />
education for children and young<br />
people with complex needs.<br />
The plan behind the redevelopment<br />
is to strengthen<br />
the school’s ability to deliver<br />
education for students who need<br />
significant curriculum adoption<br />
due to an underlying intellectual<br />
impairment.<br />

Community<br />
plays big role<br />
in reducing<br />
crime<br />
The community has played<br />
a key role in the reduction<br />
of crime rate in the last five<br />
years, police say.<br />
The number of burglaries in<br />
Riccarton west has decreased<br />
by 58 per cent between 2011<br />
and 2015.<br />
When the Riccarton Neighbourhood<br />
Policing Team<br />
began operating in the area in<br />
October 2011, the community<br />
identified burglary as one of<br />
their key issues.<br />
In 2008 was the worst year<br />
recorded with 130 burglaries.<br />
Since 2011, the<br />
Neighbourhood Policing<br />
team has put in a number of<br />
initiatives to reduce crime rate<br />
in the area.<br />
This has included the establishment<br />
of a community garden,<br />
an annual community fun<br />
day, a weekly community boot<br />
camp, a fortnightly community<br />
café and a weekly sports<br />
afternoon for local children.<br />
Street clean-up days have<br />
been held, along with studentrun<br />
information days and UV<br />
property-marking sessions.<br />
Landlords in the area have<br />
also assisted with distributing<br />
information, and community<br />
welcome packs are provided<br />
to new residents.<br />
Mona Vale in line for award<br />
Mona Vale Lodge is one of<br />
35 finalists in the this year’s<br />
Canterbury Heritage Awards.<br />
The building sustained<br />
damage in the February 2011<br />
earthquake predominantly from<br />
the collapse of the two masonry<br />
chimneys.<br />
Repairs to the building were<br />
finished two weeks ago at a cost<br />
of $589,000.<br />
A panel of five judges whittled<br />
the list down from 80 entries<br />
into six categories – domestic<br />
and saved, public realm and<br />
saved, outstanding contribution<br />
to heritage, seismic, heritage<br />
tourism and future heritage.<br />
Entries were<br />
received from a<br />
wide variety of<br />
projects, from<br />
walking tours<br />
and domestic<br />
dwellings to<br />
furniture restorations<br />
and public monuments.<br />
Category winners and the<br />
supreme overall winner will be<br />
announced during a ceremony<br />
held at the Christchurch Arts<br />
Centre on June 9.<br />
Christchurch Heritage Awards<br />
Charitable Trust chairwoman Dr<br />
Anna Crighton said the judges<br />
were incredibly impressed with<br />
the standard of entries.<br />
“Now that almost half of<br />
our built heritage has been<br />
demolished, appreciation<br />
of what remains is evident.<br />
The jurors agreed, without<br />
exception, that every entry was<br />
worthy in contributing to the<br />
character and streetscapes of our<br />
city and province,” she said.<br />
Dr Crighton was joined on<br />
the judging panel by four other<br />
notable heritage experts –<br />
Heritage Management Services<br />
director Jenny <strong>May</strong>, Canterbury<br />
University and Canterbury<br />
Branch of the New Zealand<br />

Foundation Focuses<br />
on Fostering<br />
youth potential<br />
Established 21 years ago by Graeme<br />
Dingle and Jo-Anne Wilkinson to motivate<br />
and encourage young people to reach<br />
their potential, the Foundation for<br />
Youth Development has been renamed<br />
the Graeme Dingle Foundation.<br />
The new name, which took effect<br />
in March, recognises the positive<br />
contribution Graeme has made to<br />
the lives of hundreds of young New<br />
Zealanders over the last 45 years.<br />
As the Graeme Dingle Foundation<br />
regional manager Noeline Allan<br />
explains, the organisation works with<br />
young people to foster their potential<br />
and talent, particularly those who have<br />
low self-esteem and low self-efficacy.<br />
Each year, groups of young people are<br />
selected to take part in a 14-month<br />
programme called Project K, which<br />
includes a challenging three-week<br />
wilderness activities event.<br />
“For this, the young people are taken<br />
into the mountains where they are<br />
tested,” Ms Allan says. “They learn selfmanagement<br />
through having to cook<br />
for themselves, wash their own clothes<br />
and carry their packs.”<br />
This year, the Graeme Dingle Foundation<br />
has again selected a group of students<br />
from Hornby High School to take part in<br />
the programme, which starts this month<br />
with the wilderness activities.<br />
“When they walk back into school at<br />
the end of their three-week adventure<br />
they are applauded for their efforts by<br />
students and staff. It’s called ‘Clap Day’,”<br />
Ms Allan says.<br />
The group is then required to become<br />
involved in the community, finding<br />
out about the various community<br />
organisations and what they do. Drawing<br />
on this information and experience, they<br />
select a charity to fundraise for. Last<br />
year, Gap Filler was the chosen charity.<br />
The young people are also teamed up<br />
with adult mentors, who work with them<br />
for 12 months providing encouragement<br />
and teaching them to set and achieve<br />
goals.<br />
“These relationships often go beyond<br />
the 12 months,” Ms Allan says.<br />
She says the difference in the participants<br />
after they complete the programme is<br />
remarkable.<br />
“They take the step up to become leaders<br />
in the school and the community.”<br />
The Graeme Dingle Foundation<br />
welcomes sponsorship from local<br />
businesses keen to transform young<br />
lives forever. For more information, visit<br />

Phillip Mitchell<br />
‘Filthy’ work with pipes and plumbing<br />
AT WORK: Phillip Mitchell has been a plumbing tutor at the Ara Institute<br />
of Canterbury for many years. At 73, he is still going strong working three<br />
days a week. <br />
Phillip Mitchell has had his hand in the city’s pipes<br />
for half a century. He talks with Matthew Salmons<br />
about his life as a plumber, being a tutor and<br />
winning the Graeme Victor Smith Outstanding<br />
Contribution to the Industry Award<br />
Well Phillip, you’re clearly<br />
the plumbing master around<br />
here, but why did you decide<br />
to get into the trade in the<br />
first place?<br />
My father went with me to a<br />
vocational guidance counsellor<br />
in the square. The guy that was<br />
interviewing me said ‘I know<br />
a bloke by the name of Athol<br />
Jamieson.’ He knew him on a<br />
fairly friendly basis so I went<br />
and saw him. He had a fairly<br />
large company and said ‘there’s<br />
a job there if you want it.’ I’d<br />
seen plumbers, we’d not long<br />
had the sewerage put on in the<br />
house and a flush toilet put in,<br />
which you guys would take for<br />
granted now. I was fascinated.<br />
So I thought ‘it’s not a bad idea’,<br />
and that’s what it was.<br />
So when did you start your<br />
apprenticeship?<br />
In the days when I did my apprenticeship,<br />
you signed up for<br />
what they called a 12,000 hour<br />
apprenticeship which equates to<br />
six years. In that era, when you<br />
got to your fifth year you could<br />
sit your license and if you passed<br />
your exam you didn’t have to do<br />
your sixth year, so there was a<br />
lot of incentive there. In those<br />
days it was about five pounds a<br />
week which probably equates to,<br />
I don’t know, $200 these days. A<br />
tradesman now could get about<br />
$30 an hour, about $1200 a week,<br />
and an apprentice, well they<br />
probably get more than $200, so<br />
a lot of incentive there to pass. I<br />
spent most of my apprenticeship<br />
under a guy named Bill Walsh,<br />
an Irish plumber, and also with<br />
his brother John. They were<br />
ship’s plumbers, they were fastidious.<br />
If something happened it<br />
was either right or it was wrong.<br />
And after you finished your<br />
apprenticeship did you stay<br />
with the same company?<br />
No, after I finished I left<br />
plumbing for a wee while and I<br />
did quantity surveying. It was a<br />
very good experience and I was<br />
fortunate that I had the trades<br />
experience to do it. It was very<br />
enjoyable.<br />
Did you work on any big<br />
projects?<br />
I did, it was Wilkins and<br />
Davies I was working for at the<br />
time. The buildings at Canterbury<br />
University were being built<br />
then, and we worked on them.<br />
That was straight out of my<br />
apprenticeship, so when I left<br />
that I went to learn about drain<br />
laying. I’ve always enjoyed drain<br />
laying. When you’re doing it, you<br />
feel like you’ve achieved more<br />
than you would working in a<br />
bathroom. I did that for the best<br />
part of a year, then I put the sewerage<br />
into John Walsh’s house.<br />
That was the practical part of<br />
my exam. I started working for a<br />
drain laying firm then, but they<br />
went out of business, so at about<br />
23 I started working for myself.<br />
You knew nothing then, but that<br />
was beside the point because<br />
you thought you did and you had<br />
to get experience the hard way.<br />
So I was working for myself for<br />
a while and I was doing some<br />
tutoring at night. When you’re<br />
tutoring and still in the trades,<br />
to the students, you’re still a<br />
plumber.<br />
Working full time and tutoring<br />
at nights, it must’ve taken a<br />
toll on your social life?<br />
I was young, I was only about<br />
ORGANIC HORTICULTURE COURSES<br />
Instruction in organic horticulture is<br />
now well established at the Lincolnbased<br />
Organic Training College. The<br />
next year-long course, which begins<br />
on 1st August, will be the ninth<br />
intake for the college. Students need<br />
no prior qualifications or experience<br />
to commence Year One and can<br />
study full or part-time. Those who<br />
have some horticultural background<br />
can go straight into Year Two.<br />
An added appeal of the course is that<br />
all fees are under $500, and full time<br />
students are eligible to apply for a<br />
loan or allowance through Studylink.<br />
Course Director Bill Martin says it<br />
works well to start the course year in<br />
the spring. “The organic horticulture<br />
course is all about growing so we<br />
want to start the course in spring<br />
when it is the right time to begin<br />
planting.”<br />
Year One students get plenty of<br />
hands on training in subjects such as<br />
sowing and planting organic crops,<br />
soil management and composting.<br />
The Year Two students have the<br />
option of using land and facilities<br />
on the Biological Husbandry Unit<br />
(BHU) Farm to grow and sell their<br />
own certified produce – a semicommercial<br />
venture that gives<br />
students a real taste of organic<br />
horticulture as a business. The<br />
students grow vegetables under the<br />
guidance of a mentor and sell them<br />
at a weekly stall at Lincoln University<br />
“The Year Two programme gives the<br />
students experience in a commercial<br />
environment without any risk. It’s<br />
the icing on the cake for a lot of the<br />
students here,” says Bill Martin.<br />
As well as the year-long organic<br />
horticulture courses a distance<br />
(correspondence) programme in<br />
organics is also available.<br />
The Organic Training College is<br />
located at the Biological Husbandry<br />
Unit at Lincoln University. There<br />
are 10 hectares of certified organic<br />
land as well as greenhouses, tunnel<br />
houses and research areas.<br />

still enjoyable after more than 50 years<br />
27 when I finished that and when<br />
you’re young you could burn the<br />
candle at both ends a bit.<br />
Where did you do your tutoring?<br />
In town, it was called Christchurch<br />
Technical College then<br />
- it has had about three name<br />
changes since then. It was only<br />
one night a week at that stage.<br />
That was about 1969, then me<br />
and another guy started commercial<br />
drain laying. We had a lot of<br />
fun, we did all of the drainage<br />
at QE II which was a monstrous<br />
job, but we just got stuck in and<br />
got on with it. We were young<br />
and wishful, ‘of course we can<br />
bloody well do it.’<br />
Far out, was it only you two<br />
doing the job?<br />
No, we had 10 staff on. We updated<br />
the Kaiapoi sewerage plant<br />
as well. It was physical, hard<br />
work but enjoyable. You were<br />
outside all the time. Sometimes<br />
you wore yourself out, but that’s<br />
just life. We formed a partnership<br />
called Mitchell and Rodgers. You<br />
used to be filthy everyday, but<br />
that’s part of your life and you<br />
hope that you can look back on<br />
your life and have enjoyed it.<br />
How did it feel to receive that<br />
award?<br />
I thought why me? I’d started<br />
in 2005 with just me, with another<br />
tutor joining in 2006 and<br />
another in 2007. We now have<br />
eight, virtually a new tutor every<br />
year. We do work for the Schools<br />
Organisation and Ara managed<br />
apprenticeships in plumbing and<br />
gas fitting. We’ve grown and<br />
grown, I have to ask myself, is<br />
this real?<br />
It’s been an absolutely fantastic<br />
journey building this thing, I<br />
have had some really great support,<br />
and I didn’t do it alone by<br />
any stretch of the imagination.<br />
I’m putting back what I got out<br />
of the industry. The biggest thing<br />
for me is the recognition of offsite<br />
job training.<br />
Having been in the industry<br />
so long, what sort of changes<br />
have you seen?<br />
Basically, when I started there<br />
was a horrendous amount of<br />
lead; it was the material of the<br />
time for waste pipes, sewer pipes<br />
and roof flashings. I only know<br />
of two plumbers who got lead<br />
poisoning. After that, it graduated<br />
to Copper. Copper’s priced<br />
itself out of the market now,<br />
but it’s a marvellous material to<br />
work with. We used to have to<br />
fabricate everything, but now it’s<br />
plastic and made fit for purpose.<br />
The skill sets have changed due<br />
to the change of materials.<br />
And your family has been<br />
supportive for all this time,<br />
tutoring and working?<br />
I could never have done it<br />
without the support of my wife,<br />
Beth, she’s always worked in the<br />
background.<br />
Where did you meet your<br />
wife?<br />
Through one of my cousins,<br />
she was a friend of hers, they<br />
bought us together, many years<br />
ago now but that’s alright. We<br />
went to the pictures, the usual<br />
courting thing, it was different<br />
then than it is today, 6 o’clock<br />
closing, it was the 6 o’clock<br />
swill. We went to dances and the<br />
pictures, things like that, nothing<br />
out of the ordinary.<br />
Where did you grow up?<br />
In Marshland Rd, bottom end,<br />
so I’m not very far from home.<br />
There wasn’t many houses. We<br />
were in one of the houses at the<br />
bottom end. It was still basically<br />
farmlands, was still in the country<br />
then. Shirley Lodge it was<br />
called then, I don’t know what<br />
it’s called now, we were midway<br />
between that and Shirley Rd, but<br />
we still lived in the country.<br />
And where did you go to<br />
school?<br />
Shirley Primary of course,<br />
my great-grandparents on one<br />
side took up land on the side of<br />
Marshland Rd, so it was pretty<br />
family orientated from there.<br />
Every kid’s good at school, I was<br />
just an average kid at school.<br />
I didn’t excel at anything. My<br />
mother would’ve thought I was<br />
outstanding.<br />
Has your passion for plumbing<br />
been passed on to your<br />
kids?<br />
No, I’ve got two daughters and<br />
one grandson who is 32. I used to<br />
take him on work experience, he<br />
enjoyed it, and he could’ve done<br />
it blind, but he said there was<br />
too much to learn. But for the<br />
students, I’ve chosen my path,<br />
I have to sell them the industry.<br />
I have to tell them the pluses<br />
and the fun they’ll have on the<br />
RECOGNITION:<br />
Phillip Mitchell<br />
received the<br />
Graeme Victor<br />
Smith Outstanding<br />
Contribution<br />
to the Industry<br />
Award last<br />
month, at the<br />
New Zealand<br />
Plumbing Awards.<br />
journey. You go to work for fun,<br />
if you don’t enjoy your work, get<br />
another job! I’ve got to be passionate<br />
about the industry.<br />
Not looking at retirement?<br />
Well, I’m only working three<br />
days a week, I treat it as a hobby<br />
now, not a job. I’m going to be 74<br />
in a fortnight, so I guess I’ll have<br />
to sooner or later, but I’m still<br />
enjoying it. You’ve got to look<br />
at it and say ‘well, I better pull<br />
back’. It’s such a privilege to see<br />
it working so well. Me getting the<br />
award was a positive for Ara Institute<br />
of Canterbury, showing<br />
that tutors and support staff are<br />
readily available to keep things<br />
moving forward.

Haircuts for Haircuts<br />
Celebrating 30 years of great service<br />
Haircuts for Haircuts are<br />
celebrating – this year, they<br />
turn 30. That’s 30 years of<br />
reasonably-priced great<br />
haircutting and 30 years of awesome,<br />
friendly customer service.<br />
It is rare for a small business to be so<br />
successful for so long - Michelle has been<br />
the driving force behind the two cutting<br />
bars for the three decades. She believes<br />
they have done so well because they go<br />
above and beyond for their customers.<br />
“We are already affordable, but we<br />
offer discounts for pensioners, university<br />
students and children on top of that,”<br />
she explains. “We are here for the whole<br />
family and we offer a welcoming, friendly<br />
atmosphere to make the experience<br />
enjoyable.”<br />
It’s easy and convenient, too. Because<br />
they are located in the Bush Inn Centre<br />
and South City Mall, getting a haircut can<br />
be combined with shopping and running<br />
errands. They are open mall hours, 7 days<br />
a week and there’s no need to be tied to an<br />
appointment. Just head on in, take your<br />
place and sit and relax while you wait.<br />
There are usually 4 to 5 stylists working at<br />
any time, so you’re never waiting for long.<br />
But it’s much more than that – all their staff<br />
are fully-qualified, professional stylists and<br />
they focus on nothing but hair cutting.<br />
That means they have expertise and will<br />
take the time to find out what you want and<br />
give you the best advice. They can deliver<br />
trend-of-the-moment cuts or whatever a<br />
client requests. They pride themselves on<br />
the positive experience they offer so that<br />
clients leave them looking good and feeling<br />
great. The salons are up to the minute, but<br />
Michelle has given them a taste of the past,<br />
too, installing traditional barber’s chairs<br />
in recognition of her 30 years’ anniversary<br />
so the customers get to combine the<br />
traditional with the ultra-modern.<br />
Michelle knows that it’s customer loyalty<br />
that has kept her in business for so long,<br />
and repays customers with a loyalty scheme<br />
where every 8th cut is free. She also offers<br />
styling products so you can recreate your<br />
salon look at home but her real aim is to<br />
cater for the community by providing<br />
fabulous haircuts for the whole family in<br />
a friendly atmosphere and all at affordable<br />
prices.<br />
Call in to the Bush Inn salon on<br />
the corner of Riccarton and Waimari<br />
Road (telephone 3487008) or the South<br />

INSIDE LOOK: The Halswell United A.F.C club’s changing rooms have undergone an<br />
upgrade with new joinery installed for its members.<br />
Halswell United upgrades<br />
changing facility<br />
The Halswell United A.F.C<br />
club changing rooms have<br />
gone from an old rundown<br />
building into a flash<br />
new facility.<br />
The rooms have been<br />
updated with brand new<br />
joinery installed for the<br />
large number of football<br />
players out in Halswell.<br />
The changing rooms<br />
based at Halswell Domain<br />
your<br />
LOCAL<br />
Sports<br />
were built in 1964 and<br />
up until the upgrade they<br />
were in “a pretty sorry<br />
state,” said general manager<br />
Sam Bunn said.<br />
The changes took about<br />
two months to be upgraded<br />
with donations from Asia<br />
Pacific Football Academy<br />
Andy and Jane Smith who<br />
supplied the joinery at a<br />
reduced rate.<br />
President James Maguire<br />
said he was very proud of<br />
the new changing room<br />
facilities<br />
He said the generous<br />
input of a small band of<br />
volunteers led by longstanding<br />
player and member<br />
Gordan Murdoch made<br />
the new changing rooms<br />
possible.<br />
“This upgrade represents<br />
the start of our<br />
ongoing work to refresh<br />
and update our facilities<br />
as we look forward to the<br />
next 50 years of Halswell<br />
Football,” he said.<br />
Mainland Football<br />
competition manager<br />
Colin Grant said he<br />
was proud of what the<br />
Halswell community had<br />
done with the changing<br />
facilities.<br />
“Especially of the volunteers<br />
that have put all their<br />
time and effort to make the<br />
club better than it already<br />
is.”<br />

Do your children lack selfconfidence,<br />
or perhaps have<br />
so much energy that they need<br />
an outlet for it? Development<br />
through drama is the ideal approach to<br />
teach confidence and channel youthful<br />
energy while building self-esteem.<br />
The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has<br />
been in New Zealand for 32 years. This<br />
highly regarded worldwide programme<br />
helps students aged 5 to 17 fulfil their<br />
potential by acting confidently and speaking<br />
clearly. This unique, self-development<br />
programme helps achieve invaluable life<br />
skills. The confident, articulate child makes<br />
friends easily, accepts challenges and new<br />
directions. Confident children become<br />
well-rounded adults.<br />
Our fully qualified teachers are trained<br />
in the Helen O’Grady Drama system,<br />
they ensure each child is encouraged<br />
and valued in a warm, positive learning<br />
environment. Lessons stimulate and<br />
motivate students without the exam or<br />
peer group pressure. Weekly class activities<br />
include speech training, creative movement<br />
and improvisation. Our Youth Theatre<br />
programme encourages the development<br />
of leadership and organisational skills.<br />
Three terms of the year cover the selfdevelopment<br />
programme and in the fourth<br />
term all students prepare a performance<br />
for parents and friends. We also offer<br />
Trinity College London examinations as<br />
an option for those who wish to pursue an<br />
international qualification.<br />
Our safe structured learning environment<br />
values student individuality and<br />
encourages team<br />
building. Most<br />

Device to Prevent Snoring<br />
Why put up with broken sleep,<br />
when help is at hand with<br />
Snorex, an appliance that<br />
prevents snoring, sleep<br />
apnoea, and dry and raw throats.<br />
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth for<br />
comfort, and a follow up service is provided.<br />
Denise Lim has been involved with Snores<br />
for 19 years and has had a 98% success rate<br />
with people using the appliance. Snoring can<br />
be a health hazard, causing sleep apnoea,<br />
where the person actually stops breathing for<br />
short periods.<br />
It can cause short-term memory loss,<br />
tiredness and contribute to high blood<br />
pressure.<br />
The Snorex device does not feel restrictive,<br />
is non-invasive and carries a money-back<br />
guarantee.<br />
Many people are referred by ear, nose<br />
and throat specialists, however, anyone can<br />
phone for an appointment.<br />
For an information pack or to discuss<br />
the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim<br />
on 383 0994 or check out the website<br />

A Mother of All Gifts<br />
Take the worry out of Mother’s Day!<br />
Wondering what to buy Mum<br />
when a box of chocolates or<br />
hand-cream won’t do another<br />
year round?<br />
A clever Lower Hutt woman has given me<br />
a new idea. When many of our mothers are<br />
feeling the ache of ageing limbs, or suffer<br />
with chronic pain or circulatory problems,<br />
Jenny Watson’s Aircycle is a perfect self-help<br />
answer. It’s totally transportable, folding to<br />
fit your pocket, simple in concept, easy to use<br />
and acclaimed by a growing number of users<br />
in its efficacy, and it can be easily posted in an<br />
envelope if Mum lives a distance away.<br />
For painful hands, feet or legs this small<br />
therapeutic device is used when sitting, most<br />
effective when used in several short spells a<br />
day - no need for long tough workouts. Jenny<br />
says, “Many delighted people report that it<br />
helps relieve arthritic pain and other problems<br />
such as cramp and ankle swelling. We know<br />
that regular use while sitting watching TV<br />
can begin the progress of stronger legs, better<br />
balance, comfortable walking and freedom<br />
from discomfort. It’s an easy way to manage<br />
a range of health conditions – it offers<br />
relief. Any of us can use the Aircycle almost<br />
anywhere.<br />
Jenny showed me some of the many<br />
grateful letters she’d received. Often Aircycle<br />
users have spent heavily on medications<br />
and therapy before discovering this simple<br />
effective, drug-free device. Jenny says, “<strong>News</strong><br />
is fast spreading by word of mouth, but we<br />
still have a way to go.”<br />
Well, I say, time others knew about it. Well<br />
done Jenny! Mum – you’re going to like this!<br />

Care, compassion and skill<br />
define Nurse Maude<br />
Nurse Maude has been caring for the people of Canterbury since 1896.<br />
Much of this nursing care<br />
and support has been in the<br />
community so people can stay<br />
in their own homes and retain<br />
as much independence as possible.<br />
Every year millions of kilometres are<br />
clocked up as nurses and home support<br />
workers cross the Canterbury region<br />
providing personal, domestic, nursing and<br />
specialist palliative care.<br />
“All the nursing and homecare services<br />
we provide, whether it be in the community<br />
or in the Nurse Maude Hospital or Nurse<br />
Maude Hospice are founded on the core<br />
principles of partnership, respect and<br />
nursing excellence,” says Jim Magee, chief<br />
executive of Nurse Maude.<br />
“Our unique strength lies in the ability<br />
of our people to blend that with the values<br />
which motivated Sybilla Maude in 1896;<br />
that the needs of the patients and clients are<br />
met with quality nursing care and support<br />
provided by skilled and compassionate staff.”<br />
“The broad spectrum of care provided by<br />
Nurse Maude encompasses the two most<br />
vulnerable groups in our society, the very<br />
young and the elderly.”<br />
Nurse Maude has always been a<br />
collaborative organisation, providing care<br />
in partnership with general practitioners,<br />
practice nurses, district health boards, ACC<br />
and the Ministry of Health among others.<br />
“It is through improved communication<br />

Keep comfortable with<br />
EnviroMaster<br />
Are you struggling with the heat<br />
of Summer or wanting to get<br />
organised for Winter? With the<br />
ever changing weather patterns,<br />
heat pumps have the flexibility of being able<br />
to heat and cool which is an advantage no<br />
other appliance can offer. This represents<br />
great value for your investment as you can<br />
use it all year round. The team at Enviro<br />
Master Ltd can help keep you cool this<br />
Summer either at home or work. Enviro<br />
Master supplies, installs and services all<br />
the leading brands including Panasonic,<br />
Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means<br />
our team can show you which system and<br />
brand will best suit your needs.<br />
We currently have savings up to $600<br />
off the recommended retail price on<br />
selected models.<br />
Would you like to maximise the number<br />
of days you can use your swimming pool?<br />
Heating your pool can do this and one of<br />
the most cost effective ways is with a water<br />
heat pump. Enviro Master Ltd can supply,<br />
install and service you swimming pool heat<br />
pump providing you with a comfortable,<br />
extended swimming season.<br />
Servicing your heat pump is extremely<br />
important to ensure that it is working<br />
as effectively and efficiently as possible<br />
resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump,<br />
lower power bills and greater comfort. But<br />
beware, not all cleaning companies are<br />
equal. We are constantly hearing of people<br />
being charged huge amounts for servicing<br />
and all they are getting is a heat pump<br />
clean. We at Enviro Master, are qualified<br />
engineers and therefore are able to fully<br />
test and diagnose any problems you may<br />
or may not be aware of with your heat<br />
pump. Also, as we are associated with all<br />
major brands, we are able to repair these<br />
under warranty if they are still within the<br />
warranty period.<br />
It is important to remember, when<br />
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s<br />
warranty does not cover the installation<br />
and consumers could be responsible for<br />
any repair or damage caused to the system<br />
due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s<br />
five-star installation guarantee ensures<br />
correct installation, and a demonstration<br />
so customers have an understanding on<br />
how it will best meet their needs.<br />

environment in which to live and work. In case<br />
of poor or insufficient air intake from outside,<br />
the oxygen content decreases, humidity and<br />
dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation<br />
is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air,<br />
smells, humidity and harmful substances are<br />
not removed.<br />
Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes<br />
stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel<br />
drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high<br />
content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful<br />
and can cause various diseases. Even bad smells<br />
can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous<br />
system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for<br />
cross ventilation, however as winter approaches,<br />
we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat<br />
and as a result, air quality can decline.<br />
It is therefore very important to ensure good<br />
air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />
What a view to wake up to<br />
18 Glendevere Terrace, Redcliffs<br />
Auction: <strong>May</strong> 12, <strong>2016</strong><br />
4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3-car garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing #: FM4869<br />
Designed to maximise the glorious<br />
views, you will be captivated as<br />
you gaze over the estuary and<br />
Southshore to take in the sweep<br />
of Pegasus Bay to the Kaikouras beyond.<br />
This is not for the casual observer as the<br />
home conceals its appealing and spacious<br />
interior from the street, and it’s only once<br />
you have soaked up the stunning views will<br />
you be able to enjoy the expansive family<br />
living, including a bright, modern kitchen<br />
and defined dining area, then explore further<br />
into the home.<br />
To suit families who want extra space,<br />
there is a large formal lounge/media room<br />
on the first floor, which would also suit those<br />
who wished to have an office to work from<br />
home as it features easy separate access from<br />
the street while on the lower level the home<br />
offers a master bedroom complete with en<br />
suite, three further good-sized bedrooms<br />
and main bathroom. There is also the benefit<br />
of a shower room on the ground floor, which<br />
is ideal when you get back from a quick surf<br />
or trip to Sumner beach that is just a short<br />
drive away.<br />
For your outdoor entertaining, the west<br />
-facing timber deck is perfect for summer<br />
BBQs, or relaxing with a glass of wine at<br />
the end of the day. The internal access,<br />
triple garage for all the boy’s toys completes<br />
the package.<br />
Having just completed a major renovation<br />
to a very high standard, the home will meet<br />
the demands of the most discerning buyers<br />
and, while I am surprised the decision has<br />
been made to sell such a wonderful home, I<br />
have been given clear instructions to sell the<br />
property on auction day, unless sold prior.<br />
Open Home dates: Wednesdays and<br />
Sundays, 2pm to 2.40pm. See you at<br />
the Open Days. For more information<br />
or to arrange a private viewing, contact<br />
