Arts faculty plans revealed 

New facility part of $27 million Christchurch Girls’ development 

GEORGIA O’CONNOR- 

HARDING 

INSIDE: 

PLANS: The design for Christchurch Girls’ High School art faculty building. 

Christchurch Girls’ High School 

will build a new arts faculty 

building as part of a $27 million 

development. 

Construction is set to begin 

with the arts faculty expecting to 

be competed by April-May next 

year. 

The new facility will include 

a 275 seated theatre, drama 

studios, a music room, individual 

and small ensemble practice 

rooms, arts, design and photography 

studios and school 

administration. 

As well as the new arts building 

the school will see a significant 

redevelopment of the main 

four-storey block, gymnasium 

and other classroom blocks. 

Principal Pauline Duthie said 

the centre would provide staff 

and students with the state of 

the art facilities they deserved to 

explore and develop their skills 

in art. 

“The arts are a significant part 

of school life. Lack of access to 

suitable on-site venues have limited 

the student’s ability to offer 

public performance,” she said. 

The school has been without a 

purpose built facility for the arts 

after the September 2010 earthquake 

destroyed its old auditorium 

and music rooms. 

The new art faculty will be 

built on the old auditorium site at 

the corner of Matai St East and 

Deans Ave. 

Ms Duthie said the new building 

would help provide a boost 

for the arts in the community 

with a more intimate venue than 

what may be available. 

“We are very much looking 

forward to producing a show 

and holding recitals in the new 

theatre,” she said. 

Last week the Riccarton- 

Wigram Community Board was 

updated by the Ministry of Education 

on the school’s rebuild 

progress. 

Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck said 

the update helped the community 

board with planning community 

facilities, making sure there was 

good pedestrian access and bike 

access. 

Meanwhile community consultation 

on Sockburn School 

relocating to Wigram Skies is set 

to begin in early May. During 

the week of May 23-27 Sockburn 

School will hold a series of 

workshops to get the communities 

opinion on the design, values 

and learning environment. 

“Its an opportunity for people 

to give their ideas on what they 

want the school to look like and 

feel like,” principal Heather 

Walkinshaw said. 

The new school will be renamed 

Wigram Primary School 

and is expected to open in January 

2018.

Survey to store tree data 

GEORGIA 

O’CONNOR-HARDING 

A new database highlighting 

key information on trees at 

Riccarton Bush will be created 

to ensure vital knowledge 

is not forgotten through the 

generations. 

One of the key players behind 

the latest survey is Dr Brian 

Molloy, 85, who will be retiring 

after 43 years at Riccarton 

House and Bush. 

In 1978 Dr Molloy instigated 

a similar survey of the trees and 

a wrote a book called Riccarton 

Bush: Putaringamotu which is 

on display at Riccarton House. 

The new database will now 

be an updated version on all the 

trees in Riccarton House and 

Bush. 

The survey will cover trees 

from the Riccarton Bush indigenous 

forest through to Deans 

Cottage and Riccarton House. 

Dr Molloy is a former scientist 

of the research foundation 

Landcare Research based in 

Lincoln and has been working 

with trees half his life. 

“New Zealand is a marvellous 

country for vegetation, landscapes 

and it is incredible to 

get out there. And when I walk

Children and families took to 

the catwalk last week to raise 

money for Ronald McDonald 

House. 

More than $30,000 was 

raised from the event held at the 

Transitional Cathedral.

by M Factor Events last Saturday 

featured New Zealand 

fashion brands including Andrea 

Moore, Augustine, Annah Stretton

$30,000 raised at fashion show 

from around the north-west area 

as well as from Greymouth, 

Fairlie and Auckland who have

M Factor Events owner Maree 

Harris said it was a fantastic 

night with a positive vibe. 

“Great energy especially with 

all the children involved,” she 

said. 

It was Ms Harris’ seventh 

fashion show she had organised 

for Ronald McDonald House after 

her two twin nieces stayed at 

the house for two months when 

they were born prematurely. 

Well-known rugby players 

Wyatt Crockett, Robbie Fruen, 

Mitchell Drummond and Andy

event to support the not-forprofit

RISK MANAGEMENT 

OFFICER 

Only about 30 per cent of the 

calls we attend now actually 

involve fires. The other 70 per 

cent includes false alarms, car 

crashes, hazardous substance 

incidents and medical 

emergencies where we provide 

manpower with first aid skill 

to back up the experts from St 

John. 

Some of our work does not 

neatly fit into any of the normal 

categories. An elderly caller last 

Thursday had knocked a cushion 

that had fallen down the side 

of her hot water cylinder. She 

wondered if it was a fire risk. It 

probably wasn’t. But St Albans 

Red Watch crew went to her 

house and retrieved the cushion 

which almost certainly saved her 

days and nights of worry. 

We also saw the Wainoni crew 

travelling to Collingwood St in 

New Brighton the same day to a 

child who had managed to trap 

their leg in a gate. All the efforts 

of the locals were to no avail. A 

tool known as a hooligan bar, 

a kind of short crowbar, was 

utilised by the crew to bend the 

railings enough to release the

There were a couple of 

potentially serious fires in the 

week. Both were of a suspicious 

nature. A camper van at the back 

of a vehicle dealer in St Asaph 

St was set alight and destroyed 

recently and on Wednesday 

night, fireworks were apparently 

utilised to ignite a fire on the 

Port Hills that was visible across 

the city.

Auctions continue to be the preferred way to sell and our gold

One of my auctions had over 60 potential purchasers through 

their three week campaign with around 20 bidders there on the 

day to achieve a price that exceeded our owners’ expectations. 

Any agent can do an auction, but not every agent can create a 

successful auction platform to reach a market premium through 

open and transparent competition in the rooms – this is the key 

to a great auction result. 

We still have several qualified buyers looking for properties, 

so give me a call if you are thinking of selling as we might 

already have the perfect buyer on our books!

Specialist to tackle ethnic offending 

ANDREW KING 

Police have brought in a 

specialist in iwi liaison to work 

towards lowering the number of 

Maori, Pacific Island and ethnic 

offending in Canterbury. 

Inspector Hirone Waretini is 

in charge of the Canterbury arm 

of a national operation called 

Turning of the Tide, an initiative 

set up in 2011 to reduce ethnic 

offending. 

While the operation is not 

new, Inspector Waretini’s 

position of Maori, Pacific and 

ethnic services is. 

Turning of the Tide has five 

core goals – reduce first-time 

offenders, reduce repeat offenders, 

reduce the amount of repeat 

victims, reduce the number of 

people in court and to reduce 

road trauma. 

Maori offenders make up 36 

per cent of the total prison population 

in Canterbury while Pacific 

Islanders make up 4.7 per cent. 

Over the past 10 months an 

average of 10,282 offences are 

committed each month in the 

Canterbury Metro Area with 

an average of 2179 offences 

committed by Maori and of 470 

committed by Pacific Islanders. 

Maori make up seven per 

cent of Canterbury’s population 

NEW ROLE: Inspector Hirone Waretini has taken up the role of Maori, 

Pacific and ethnic services for the Canterbury Metro Area. 

while Pacific Islanders make up 

2.3 per cent. 

“It would appear everything 

we have tried to do to reduce 

that [Maori offending overrepresentation] 

has not worked,” 

Inspector Waretini said. 

Inspector Waretini’s job is to 

think outside of the box to deal 

with the number of Maori offending. 

“An example would be if 

someone is responsible for a car 

crash and didn’t have a licence, 

we can help them get that, or sit 

a defensive driving course. No 

idea is off the table as long as it 

is lawful and agreed to by any 

victims,” he said. 

He has approached Te 

Runanga o Nga Maata Waka, 

Te Puni Kokiri, Office of Ethnic 

Communities, Ngai Tahu and He 

Waka Tapu to build relationships 

and gather any ideas to prevent 

future offending. 

“If you don’t belong or you’re 

not accepted that can lead to 

crime, and that plays out over all 

cultures, not just Maori,” he said. 

“If you are not part of something 

and you feel disconnected 

and you don’t belong and you 

don’t have the ability to create a

better future through strong education 

and work opportunities 

then you become a prime candidate 

to become an offender.” 

The Auckland-born inspector 

is only three months in and said 

there is a real hunger for this 

kind of supportive, understanding 

policing. 

“We know that after the 

February 2011 earthquake 

family harm rose 50 per cent. 

This place is in need of a lot of 

support care and help. But at the 

same time it is a place of great 

innovation and creativity, which 

is why Turning of the Tide is 

perfect for Canterbury,” he said. 

Fire ban 

imposed 

in Selwyn 

again 

Fraser Walker-Pearce 

Unseasonable dry weather has 

forced the return of a total fire 

ban in the Selwyn district. 

Yesterday the district council 

implemented the fire ban, because 

of low rainfall in the area. 

The previous fire ban was 

lifted on April 4 after being 

reduced in January. 

Darfield chief fire officer Alan 

Kittelty said it was the closest to 

winter he could remember a ban 

being implemented. 

No outdoor fires can be lit in 

the district, and the burning of 

crop stubble is also not allowed. 

Gas barbecues with water nearby 

are allowed, but not charcoal 

barbecues. 

All fire permits previously 

issued by the district council are 

also cancelled. 

Mr Kittelty said the fire ban 

was put in place out of “necessity”. 

A fee of $1150 can be charged 

for a fire call out if a fire has 

been lit which breaches fire restrictions. 

The fee is given back 

to local volunteer fire forces.

Ann Smith 

Test of time on community 

Hornby Community Patrol secretary Ann Smith recently celebrated 

20 years as a member of the organisation. She spoke to Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding about volunteer work, her passion for travel 

and her interest in playing the bagpipes 

Tell me about your time in 

the Hornby Community 

Patrol? 

I’ve just completed 20 years 

as a patroller in April. My other 

role in the Hornby patrol is 

being secretary. They came 

and gave me a card, some 

flowers and supper. Plus our 

local police officer Senior 

Sergeant Peter Stills wrote 

me a congratulatory letter and 

the police liaison officer Deb 

Smalley sent me a card. So to 

be recognised by the patrol and 

others was really special. 

Back 20 years ago, what did 

you think when you went out 

on your first patrol? 

I just wanted to do my bit for 

the community. I was about the 

second intake into the Hornby 

patrol when I started and that 

was my first thing to be part of 

the community. In 2011 I joined 

the committee as a member and 

then in 2013 I took on the role 

as secretary. For those first few 

years I was juggling study and 

a social life and commitments. 

So I used to patrol just once a 

month. 

What is the weirdest 

situation you have ever come 

across in the patrol? 

One night on patrol we saw a 

man loitering on a long driveway. 

He admitted to us he was 

about steal some petrol so he 

could go and visit his daughter 

in Blenheim. He didn’t have 

money. You feel bad for the 

situation but doing something 

illegal wouldn’t have helped. So 

we reported to the police but I 

remember they didn’t catch 

him. 

Do you find these situations 

happen a lot out in Hornby? 

No not often. We sometimes 

find abandoned cars but that 

has decreased a lot. We report 

graffiti on a regular basis so 

Hornby is quite graffiti-free. It 

is quite tidy so people feel safe 

in their environment. Our main 

role is being the eyes and ears 

for the police but we are also 

aware parkedup 

campervans 

over the 

Christmas 

period are at 

risk. Schools 

and shopping 

centres are like 

our core duties. 

Are a lot of 

young people are 

interested in the 

patrol? 

We currently have six members 

who want to join the police. 

We know we won’t keep them 

for long but because they 

have got a goal they are 

very focused. They 

want to learn and 

they know we have 

a good relationship 

with the police. We 

can support them to 

go and sit in at the 

main police station 

and see what the 

district command centre 

does or what the communication 

centre does. 

Have you ever felt

secretary Ann Smith has been volunteering for 

the organisation for 20 years. 

unsafe while out on patrol? 

Years ago we used to get a lot 

of boy racers before they put 

in the restrictions. I think just a 

bit of commonsense is needed. 

It’s all part of our training – if 

you need to back off just back 

off. Sometimes you get a lot of 

information from locals and it is 

nice to engage with them. 

What’s your opinion on 

Hornby? 

I love the new Hub Hornby 

we are getting as a result of the 

fast population growth. From our 

patrol perspective it is still fairly 

quiet. We don’t have things like 

the bus exchanges. I think the 

relationship we have with the 

community has helped also. 

What did you study? 

I did a diploma in teaching 

people with special needs. I was 

very fortunate that I was able 

to retire early, I’ve been retired 

for four years. My last employer 

was delighted to see I had a bit 

of a teaching background. My 

other love at this time was (going 

back 10 years ago) I was a 

member of the South Canterbury 

Highland Pipe Band 

for eight years. I used 

to commute to Temuka 

between one to three times 

a week.

patrol brings rewards 

What instrument did you 

play in the pipe band? 

The bagpipes. I am still playing 

at the moment for Ellesmere 

Highland Pipe Band because it 

is more social. I have got over 

the years of all the hard practice. 

So I now play to keep the pipe 

skill going and to enjoy it. The 

band has had an influx of young 

members. There are anywhere 

between 15 to 18 pipers. We 

have learners between the ages 

of 12 and 14. 

What made you get into 

playing the bagpipes? 

At the tender age of nine, 

mother said I expressed an interest. 

I have been playing about 

44 years. Mind you people will 

be able to work out my age now. 

I was 13 at my first national 

contest in Dunedin. It was with 

the City of Christchurch Ladies 

Pipe Band. 

And have you travelled a lot 

in your life? 

Travelling is my great passion. 

I’ve travelled every year for the 

last 10-12 years. It started off 

being every second year but now 

we go away every year. I have 

friends in Napa County, San 

Francisco, so that comes up on 

the radar quite often. 

Best and worst place? 

Probably no best and worst. 

PARTNERSHIP: Ann Smith working with the police in the community and keeping in touch on the bagpipes. 

The year we went to Mexico 

City, people said we shouldn’t 

go there but it was lovely. Even 

the Americans said that. We 

enjoyed it – we felt quite safe. 

We saw the pyramids. It was fascinating. 

I also loved Italy. We 

did a cruise out of Barcelona. 

Take it you like warmer 

places. What is the next on the 

agenda? 

Cuba about this time next year. 

My maiden name is Donald 

and I belong to their clan. We 

have an active Clan-Donald 

membership in the city. In 

1988 we met Clan-Donalds US 

at a place called Grandfather 

Mountain in North Carolina. 

We have maintained friendships 

with some of the people there. 

Next year we will be attending 

their AGM in Savannah. In past 

years our passion for attending 

their AGMs has taken us all over 

America. If you go to Savannah 

you are only a stone’s throw 

from Cuba. 

What else do you like doing 

in your spare time apart from 

travelling? 

My gardens, and I am very 

family-orientated. I am fortunate 

my parents are still alive and 

my aunty. I support them a lot. 

I have another role in the patrol 

– I am the district representative 

officer so my area is from 

Hamner to Twizel. I co-ordinate 

the patrol and keep in contact 

with them and liaise with the 

police. At the moment I am the 

chair on the committee planning 

a national training seminar at the 

Lincoln Events Centre on June 

24-26. At the moment I would 

be doing 35-40 hours voluntary 

work a week. 

How is preparation for the 

seminar going? 

It’s a full-time job. We are 

hoping to get between 260-300 

turn up. The theme of this year’s 

training seminar is partnerships. 

Our workshops are to show the 

different patrols throughout 

New Zealand to show the value 

of forming partnerships. For an 

example I also sit on the graffiti 

committee and the crime 

prevention committee at the city 

council. 

What is your view on graffiti 

in the city? 

Graffiti is ongoing but not 

so much this year thanks to 

the hard work of the committee. 

The results for this year’s 

audit hasn’t come out but last 

year’s audit showed graffiti had 

reduced by 50 per cent and that 

was because the patrols had been 

active. 

I take it you meet a lot of 

people as well? 

I have met some wonderful 

people. A variety of people on 

the committee who work hard. 

I don’t want to name anyone in 

case I miss somebody out. The 

graffiti committee value my 

input and some are volunteers at 

the training seminar. It is pretty 

special. I do have quite an active 

life I have to say.

Mexicali raises 

$2k-plus for 

Child Cancer 

GEORGIA O’CONNOR- 

HARDING 

Mexicali Fresh Wigram’s first 

fundraising venture last week 

raised more than $2000 for the 

Child Cancer Foundation. 

Last week the restaurant had a 

night where all profits made from 

each meal sold went to the Child 

Cancer Foundation. 

“The fact we have managed to 

raise $2005 is great,” franchise 

owner Steve Goodgame said. 

Companies donating stock and 

supplies for the evening 

were Tegel NZ, Bidvest, 

Freshpork NZ and Westmeat 

Christchurch. Christchurch Sign 

Writers Academy Signs, Ngai 

Tahu and Wigram New World 

printed posters and helped 

promote the fundraiser. 

“We had a goal of $2000 and 

we just made it. I am not sure 

how we did it as it was our first 

fundraising event,” Mr Goodgame 

said. 

The restaurant already has another 

fundraising initiative in the 

pipe line, with a similar fundraising 

night for the SPCA planned. 

The restaurant will have an 

ongoing campaign for the Child 

Cancer Foundation for the next 

couple of months. 

Customers can donate at the 

restaurant or purchase a pair of 

$7 sunglasses supplied by the 

company. 

Villa girls serve breakfast to pupils 

Villa Maria College students 

have been putting their school’s 

character “mercy in action” to 

good use by helping Riccarton 

Primary School. 

Each week two rotating Villa 

classes help with Riccarton 

Primary’s Breakfast Club. 

On Friday mornings students 

will go to Riccarton Primary 

and help serve food about 20- 

40 children who don’t receive 

breakfast in the morning. 

Villa’s Catherine Thwaites 

said they set out tables, chairs 

and breakfast spreads like 

honey and marmite. 

The students also help with 

making toast and setting out 

yoghurt. 

“The children then come up to 

us and ask for what they want; 

we highly encourage them to 

use their manners at all times.” 

She said while the children 

are eating students will try

“I even played the piano the

The power 

of community 

Orion is privileged to 

have been associated 

with Community Energy 

Action (CEA) for more 

than twenty years. 

CEA is a charitable 

trust that provides 

insulation and energy 

advice services to 

the most vulnerable 

in our community 

with the overriding 

objective of creating 

warmer, healthier 

and more energy 

efficient homes. 

Results of the Healthy 

Homes Project, a recent 

study undertaken by the 

Canterbury District Health 

Board and CEA, shows a 

direct correlation between 

insulated homes and a 

reduction in hospital bed 

days by up to 30%. 

Working in a collaborative 

partnership with CEA has 

enabled a great deal to 

be achieved where it is 

most needed. 

oriongroup.co.nz


Many benefits from insulating homes 

HEALTHY: A workman installing insulation under the floor of a 

Canterbury home. 

A successful partnership 

between community, health 

and commercial organisations 

has helped save Canterbury 

DHB nearly $1m, by providing 

insulation and/or heating to high 

health needs patients. 

As well as reducing hospital 

costs, it has also assisted in ensuring 

people can remain in their 

own homes. 

In 2011, a Healthy Homes programme 

was created between the 

Canterbury DHB and the three 

Canterbury primary health care 

organisations, Community Energy 

Action, Environment Canterbury 

and the Energy Efficiency 

Conservation Authority. Orion 

and MainPower also contributed 

funding into this programme. 

The programme was developed 

to keep people in their own 

homes and communities rather 

than using hospital services. This 

recognised Canterbury’s compromised 

housing stock following 

the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. 

The Canterbury DHB and partnering 

organisations understood 

the potential benefits for frequent 

users of the health system of living 

in warm and dry homes, including 

improved physical and 

mental health. 

The programme initially focused 

on people who had been in 

the Christchurch Hospital at least 

twice within a year prior to the 

programme starting (defined as 

being the highest-needs patients). 

In July 2013, the programme was 

extended to include general practice 

patients, for example families 

with children under 17 years 

of age identified as being at risk 

and parents with newborn babies. 

The programme ran from 2011 

to late 2014 and the whole programme 

provided over 1500 insulation 

installations and 450 

heating appliances. Partnerships 

amongst the organisations meant 

many Healthy Homes’ clients 

were referred to other organisations 

and services, as additional 

needs were identified. 

A qualitative report was completed 

by Pegasus Health in June 

2015 on the whole programme. 

Canterbury DHB invested 

$1.7m over 2.5 years between 

2011 and 2014, covering 22 per 

cent of the total programme costs. 

Around half of the $1.7m invested 

went towards intervention 

costs for the 900 highest-needs 

patients, as defined above. The 

remaining partnering organisations 

covered the balance of the 

total costs. Of those 900 highest-need 

patients, a significant 

number of them were aged over 

65. There was an approximately 

60 per cent/40 per cent split between 

home owners and tenants. 

After reviewing the health 

data, comparing the year prior 

to the interventions with the year 

following, the findings showed a 

29.2 per cent reduction in hospital 

bed days of those 900 patients. 

This equates to a reduction of 

five bed days per annum, a cost 

saving to the Canterbury DHB of 

nearly $1m. 

“This means the programme 

was extremely successful for the 

community and all involved including 

the Canterbury DHB,” 

says Caroline Shone, chief executive 

of CEA. 

“Whilst the cost for insulation 

and heating is a one-off, the 

benefits last for years. I’m sure 

for the Canterbury DHB the return 

on investment can be spent 

on other health needs. This programme 

was a first for CEA and 

the other organisations involved, 

I am really happy that we have 

helped so many people working 

in partnership with Government, 

private and public sector organisations.” 

Greg Hamilton from the Canterbury 

DHB said he was “delighted 

with the results.” 

David Meates, CEO of Canterbury 

DHB said: “This is just 

brilliant to see the hard evidence 

being brought to life.” 

The above analysis only takes 

into account one of a number of 

benefits (hospitalisation) which 

result from improving a home’s 

insulation. There are other considerable 

benefits to this programme 

including: 

Hospital benefits after the first 

12 months – a single intervention 

has a 40-year life span taking into 

account the life of the insulation; 

benefits to partners, children and 

others living in the same dwelling; 

benefits to future occupants; 

reduction in other primary and 

community services required for 

intensive post-discharge rehabilitation; 

reduction in absenteeism 

from work/school for all home 

occupants due to improved overall 

health; people living in their 

own homes with better wellbeing 

and feeling safer; and empowerment 

through improved physical 

health, mental health and/ 

or an improved general state of 

mind/well-being; establishment 

of other successful working relationships 

with a range of organisations, 

with a focus to assist 

vulnerable families. 

To date, EECA has provided 

approximately $450m worth of 

subsidies for insulation nationwide 

through their programmes, 

including Warm Up New Zealand. 

The Healthy Home Programme 

analysis shows the need to continue 

with programmes such as 

these, particularly when EECA 

and CEA through their own surveys, 

have identified that there 

are still over 30,000 low income 

family homes in Canterbury 

alone, with inadequate or no insulation. 

There have been other relevant 

New Zealand studies and discussions 

over the years around the 

need to improve housing quality 

and the associated health benefits.

Camera trial deters sex worker clients 

ANDREW KING 

A security camera has 

been installed in St 

Albans to deter clients 

visiting sex workers. 

The city council initiative 

comes after years of 

residents complaining 

about prostitutes working 

in the area. 

The city council 

installed the temporary 

camera on the corner of 

Manchester and Purchas 

Sts last week to deter 

clients seeking prostitute 

services. It is hoped that 

the prostitutes will head 

back into the city centre. 

The camera has been 

loaned to the city council 

from security camera 

company ATF for a twoweek 

free trial. Normally 

they are $40 per day to 

rent. 

At the end of the trial 

the city council will liaise 

with police and the residents 

to see if it will keep 

the camera operational. 

It has some of the most 

sophisticated technology 

in the world with facial 

recognition, number plate 

reading capabilities and 

advanced night vision. 

St Albans resident Matt 

Bonis has been living in 

the area since 2009 and 

said 48 hours after the 

camera was installed, he 

slept with his windows 

open for the first time in 

years. 

“There have been a lot 

less clients around since 

it went up so the girls are 

just moving on . . . it is 

great not having a price 

list screamed across the 

street,” he said. 

In the past he said 

they had found needles, 

neighbours had items stolen 

and sometimes they 

would find people having 

sex in their properties. 

“I have been threatened 

by pimps, prostitutes and 

their clients . . . we just 

want our kids to sleep in 

a safe, quiet neighbourhood,” 

Mr Bonis said. 

City councillor Ali 

Jones (above) said the 

issue is not with prostitution 

itself, it is the noise, 

damage and rubbish that 

is left behind in a residential 

area. 

“If we can get them to 

move back into the city 

centre it will make both 

parties happier,” she said. 

Cr Jones said she had 

been working closely 

with the New Zealand 

Prostitutes Collective to 

relocate the girls. 

Acting Sergeant Nic 

Adcock said while the 

camera is mainly a city 

council initiative, police 

will be looking carefully 

at any footage they are 

provided and act if any 

criminal activity takes 

place.

this could be used in the

Sabotage claim in 

bid to save villa 

TOM DOUDNEY 

An excavation company has had a digger 

allegedly sabotaged and a tyre slashed 

amid community opposition to the 

planned demolition of an 152-year-old 

Addington villa. 

The Enfield Villa in Burke St is set to 

be replaced by a block of flats in spite of 

opposition to save it. 

Digout Services which is carrying 

out the demolition made a complaint to 

the police after its $150,000 digger had 

sticks, dirt and rubbish stuffed into its 

air intake. Operations project manager 

Nathan Paerata said repairing the damage 

this had caused would be expensive. 

The villa was the home of Henry and 

Martha Bull who sailed from Enfield in 

England to New Zealand in 1862. 

However, because of modifications 

made to it, Heritage New Zealand has 

declined to give it a heritage listing. 

In 2012, the building was sold to a Russian 

owner who also wished to demolish 

the house but after an outcry from local 

residents he sold it to the current owners 

last year. 

Mr Paerata said one of his workers had 

had a car tyre slashed and he had no doubt 

that this and the digger “sabotage” were 

linked to opposition to demolish the villa. 

However, police said there was not 

enough evidence to pursue the matter. 

Mr Paerata said the company was being 

targeted unfairly. 

“It has been a bad experience, that 

whole property,” he said. 

“We’re not in the business of pulling 

down 150-year-old houses, we’re not the 

ones that decided not to put it on the heritage 

list.” 

He wouldn’t say when the demolition 

would take place but it wouldn’t be delayed 

by the sabotage of the digger. 

Heritage New Zealand adviser Dave 

Margetts said he understood the villa had 

been heavily modified. 

However, Addington historian Mike 

Burdon said the alterations were 

minimal and as one of Addington’s 

original historic houses it should be 

preserved. 

“That place could be restored and there 

would still be plenty of room there to 

build the flats,” he said. 

“If the house was restored they could 

also open it up to the public and make 

money off it too and that would be a big 

thing for Addington.”

16yo gets a shot at 

prestigious golf champs 

Dominic Brettkelly, 

16, will tee off on one 

of United States’ most 

prestigious golf courses 

in July. 

The Christchurch 

Boys’ High School 

student has been 

accepted to play in the 

IMG Junior World Golf 

Championships in San 

Diego. 

He will play in the 

15-17 boys’ section of 

the competition which 

involves 1200 participants 

from 56 countries 

competing on Torrey 

Pines South Course, 

which hosted the US 

Open in 2008. 

Brettkelly’s grandfather 

gave him his first 

golf club when he was 

18-months-old and he 

joined the Hororata Golf 

Club when he was six 

and started training at 12. 

This is the first time 

Brettkelly will compete in 

the championships and he 

is excited to stand on the same 

course some of the greats have. 

“Mum told me as soon as I 

woke up and it just made my 

day. It’s going to be a surreal

helping him train every 

day to get ready for the 

tournament. 

“Talent will only get 

you so far. It’s really 

down to hard work and 

being focused on the end 

goal,” Yee said. 

For Brettkelly that 

involves getting into 

a US college on a golf 

scholarship, and with college 

scouts attending the 

championships he hopes 

to impress them. 

“I want to get a 

scholarship to play golf at 

college in 2018, so there’s 

a bit of pressure to stand 

out at the tournament,” 

he said. 

The competition 

doesn’t come cheap, the 

Hororata Golf Club is 

helping to get Brettkelly 

to the US by hosting a 

golf tournament in June. 

“It’s very generous 

of the golf club and the 

community, especially 

my granddad and my 

parents, I wouldn’t be here 

if it wasn’t for all the hard 

work they put in,” he said. 

Brettkelly will head to the 

US on July 1 to get his bearings 

before the competition starts on 

July 10.

Plunket is the 4 th fastest growing Plunket region in new Zealand

Trying out the trombone at Try an Instrument Day 

UC Christchurch Youth Orchestra in rehearsal 

CHRISTCHURCH SCHOOL OF MUSIC 

2015 was a really busy year for the 

Christchurch school of Music with lots of 

exciting things happening. In september 

the school celebrated its Diamond Jubilee 

– 60 years of providing excellent music 

tuition and ensemble opportunities to 

thousands of Cantabrians. 

Other highlights of 2015 were working 

with G&a Creative to develop a new 

website, logo and brand for the school and 

the signing of a sponsorship arrangement 

with the University of Canterbury for our 

flagship orchestra, now known as the UC 

Christchurch Youth Orchestra. 

Most exciting of all, in December, the 

school moved back home onto the site of 

the old Music Centre. with the support 

of the Catholic Diocese, the school is 

housed in four portable buildings on 

the site adjacent to Catholic Cathedral 

College where all the instrumental and 

voice teaching takes place on a saturday 

morning and after school. The buildings 

will officially open on Friday 13 May 

with a celebration to say thank-you to 

all the organisations that have supported 

us to get to this stage. Many hours of 

work have gone into fitting out the new 

buildings with furniture, shelving, storage 

and teaching materials to ensure it is a 

friendly, welcoming and efficient place 

for the school to operate from. Particular 

thanks to Creative New Zealand and Rata 

Foundation who have provided financial 

support for the fit out 

so along with its new branding, a new 

user-friendly website and a great new 

place to call home the CsM is in good 

heart and enjoying a fantastic year of 

music making in 2016. 

From pre-schoolers to septuagenarians, 

the CsM caters for a wide range of ages 

and musical styles offering opportunities 

for group or individual tuition in all 

instruments and an ensemble to suit 

everyone. with orchestras, choirs, jazz 

and rock bands, world music ensembles,

Trying out the tuba at Try an Instrument Day 

held regularly. 

CsM also provides a comprehensive 

music education to participating primary 

schools via its Outreach programmes. 

with programmes offered in band, 

strings, recorder and ukulele in a wide 

range of Christchurch schools this is an 

area of the school, which has grown fast 

over the last few years. 

another area that has grown rapidly 

over the last few years is the Late starters 

programme thanks to the great work of 

well-known Cantabrian and CsM alumni 

Mark walton. adults approaching 

retirement with more time on their 

hands have really enjoyed learning an 

instrument they never had the chance 

to play in their early years and join an 

ensemble with other like-minded adults. 

short courses are offered in subjects 

such as theory and aural perception and 

the school strives to meet the needs of 

our students and families in every way we 

can. 

The Christchurch school of Music was 

established in 1955 by Robert Perks, MBE, 

to provide an education in instrumental 

music for primary schools. since then the 

school has extended it activities to include 

students of all ages and has also added 

vocal lessons and choral opportunities. 

as well as our opening there are some 

important events coming up. 

On 21 May, the UC Christchurch Youth 

Orchestra will present its first concert 

of the year under the baton of new 

conductor, Helen Renaud at the Charles 

Luney auditorium at st Margaret’s 

College starting at 7.30pm. The concert is 

titled “Metamorphosis” and will feature 

works by sparke, Vaughan williams, 

Hindemith, Brahms and Rossini. Tickets 

are available through Eventfinda and 

there will also be door sales. 

The CsM also has two Kidsfest events 

in the July holidays. The Composer is 

Dead by Lemony snicket is a really good 

fun, engaging concert that will teach the 

children all about the instruments of the 

orchestra and is being held on Tuesday 

12 July at 11.30am and 1.00pm in the 

Charles Luney auditorium Tickets will 

be available through Dash ticketing from 

the beginning of June. 

If you have always wanted to play an 

instrument but you’re not sure which 

one or you want to give your children a 

chance to have a go on all the instruments 

to help them decide, come along to our 

popular and free Try an Instrument Day 

on Tuesday 19 July from 11am-1pm in

Tips to improve your running 

Running should be as easy as 

putting one foot in front of the other 

right? Anyone can run, but having good 

technique can make it feel so much 

easier. 

good running technique will make 

your runs feel less tiring, reduce 

your risk of injury, and ultimately 

be more enjoyable. Muscle People 

Physiotherapists specialise in assessing 

and improving running technique 

whether you are a competitive runner or 

just running for fun. 

start getting better now with these basic 

tips: 

POSTURE 

• Keep your head straight 

look straight ahead of you, about 30-40 

metres out in front and avoid looking 

down at your feet. looking down will 

create tension in your neck and shoulders. 

• shoulders back and down 

Your shoulders should be back and down 

not up by your ears. Keep them relaxed 

and avoid tensing them. don’t hunch 

over as this restricts breathing. 

• Keep your elbows at 90 degrees 

Your elbows should be bent at a 90 degree 

angle. Try to swing your arms forward 

and back, not across your body. This arm 

movement helps to propel you forward. 

Your hands should be relaxed, but don’t 

let them flop. Tight hands can cause 

tension all the way up to the back and 

shoulders. 

• solid core 

Focus on keeping your core (trunk) firm, 

though not rigid, and straight and your 

hips and shoulders level and relaxed. 

Keeping this position in your hips can 

help prevent low back and hip pain. 

FOOT STRIKE AND LEG POSITION 

• don’t strike the ground too heavily 

good running is light and quiet. You 

should land in the middle of your foot 

with a slightly bent knee. Whatever your 

weight, your feet should not slap loudly 

as they hit the ground. light steps are 

more efficient and cause less stress to the 

body and landing on the middle of your 

foot is the safest way to land for most 

recreational runners. 

That’s the basics but there’s always more 

we can do to help. Try these: 

RUNFIT – The technical edge 

Muscle People Physiotherapy & 

the YMCA gym have a running 

group in hagley Park – RunFit, led 

by a Physiotherapist and Canterbury 

competitive runner, and a Personal 

Trainer from the YMCA gym. RunFit 

focuses on running technique which 

is vital to improving speed, reducing 

injuries and making running more 

enjoyable for both regular runners 

and the beginner. RunFit is ideal for 

regular runners who are looking to 

challenge themselves, as well as the 

beginning runner who wants to start 

with good technique and the guidance of 

professionals. 

diane and Celia have recently 

completed a RunFit programme had this 

to say: 

diane, from st Martins “i’ve had 

three calf injuries in the last 18 months 

and i wanted to make sure my running 

technique wasn’t contributing to that. 

over the course of the RunFit programme 

i improved my technique, got faster and 

i’m injury free. My training plan is on 

track for my first marathon in June.” 

Celia, works in sydenham, “RunFit is 

the perfect combination of running drills, 

core strength and running and i enjoyed 

the variety. The core strength training 

has helped with my tennis and posture 

and i’ve learnt a lot about running form 

to help with training in my solo sessions. 

The physiotherapist and personal 

trainer are fantastic and work really well 

together, their on-hand knowledge is 

invaluable. The small group environment 

is very encouraging and works for all 

abilities. i highly recommend RunFit - in 

fact i’ve just signed up for more!”

A solid choice for smart buyers 

2/57 Withells Rd, Avonhead 

Auction: May 19, 2016 

3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 1 dining room | 1 living room | 2 car-garage | Listing #: PI42934 

Invest your hard-earned money with 

confidence: this townhouse ticks all the 

boxes for great real estate. Start with the 

security of permanent materials – clad in 

timeless brick with aluminium joinery, this is a 

home that will retain its classic good looks with 

the minimum of maintenance. 

Add in good proportions that will suit many 

– three light, bright bedrooms (master with en 

suite bathroom) and a separate lounge adjacent 

to the open-plan kitchen and dining area will 

appeal to families, couples or investors. An 

aspect that ensures the home soaks up sunlight 

throughout the day and an easy flow from 

indoor living spaces to the sunny and secure 

garden will keep entertainers, children and pets 

equally happy. The convenience of a double 

internal-access garage plus additional off-street 

parking adds further practical appeal. 

A very sought-after location underpins the 

value of this investment: handy to schools and 

shops, family-friendly and standing on solid 

TC1 land. Presented in immaculate condition, 

this is a home you can move straight into or 

rent out from day one, but astute buyers will 

realise there is plenty of potential here for those 

wanting to enhance the property and further 

capitalise on their investment. 

The vendors have already purchased their 

next property so 2/57 Withells Road is very 

definitely for sale on or before auction day. 

Open Homes: Saturday and Sunday, 2pm 

to 2.30pm.

viewing, contact Cameron Bailey of Harcourts
