PARKING WARDENS appear<br />
to be fair game in western<br />
suburbs.<br />
Latest statistics show of the 36<br />
verbal and physical assaults on<br />
parking wardens in the city, seven<br />
were in Merivale, Papanui and<br />
Riccarton.<br />
And four of the seven incidents,<br />
including one of two assaults, took<br />
place in Merivale alone.<br />
On April 28, a parking warden<br />
was assaulted by the owner of the<br />
vehicle they were issuing a ticket<br />
on Papanui Rd outside Merivale<br />
Mall just before noon.<br />
The fine, for parking over the<br />
time limit, was $21.<br />
The offender had to have<br />
a restorative justice meeting<br />
with the parking warden and<br />
apologised.<br />
Wardens were also threatened<br />
and verbally abused on Leinster<br />
Rd in May and Winchester St in<br />
August. But at the time they were<br />
walking along the road, not issuing<br />
tickets.<br />

IT’S A tough job being a parking<br />
warden in the western part of<br />
the city as our statistics show on<br />
page 1.<br />
Being a parking warden is a<br />
thankless job – for obvious reasons<br />
– and it takes a certain kind<br />
of character to be one – thick<br />
skin is an advantage.<br />
But it is a job that has to be<br />
done, otherwise no one would<br />
care about restricted parking.<br />
And the result of that would<br />
be a lot of angry motorists who<br />
wouldn’t be able to get a park.<br />
So if you’re getting a ticket,<br />
take it on the chin instead of trying<br />
to land one on someone just<br />
doing their job.<br />

Wastewater work will affect traffic<br />
WESTMORLAND residents<br />
are being warned to expect<br />
traffic delays in the coming<br />
weeks.<br />
City council work is about<br />
to start on the new south-east<br />
Halswell wastewater project in<br />
the area.<br />
Traffic delays will affect<br />
motorists between the Cashmere<br />
Rd and Penruddock Rise<br />
intersection and the south end<br />
of Hendersons Rd.<br />
City council project manager<br />
Kylie Hills said stop-go traffic<br />
control would be put in place at<br />
the Cashmere Rd and Penruddock<br />
Rise intersection, and at<br />
two pipe-trench road crossings<br />
in and near the Hendersons Rd<br />
and Cashmere Rd intersection.<br />
“We’re asking those that<br />
travel through this area to allow<br />
an extra five minutes for their<br />
journeys,” she said.<br />
But Ms Hills assured the city<br />
council would get the work<br />
done as quickly as possible.<br />
“While there will be some<br />
disruption to motorists the<br />
long-term benefits to local residents<br />
in the area will outweigh<br />
the traffic delays in the short<br />
term.”<br />
The Cashmere Rd branch<br />
of the South East Halswell<br />
Wastewater scheme will divert<br />
ROADWORKS: Traffic delays are likely between the Cashmere Rd and Penruddock Rise<br />
intersection and the south end of Hendersons Rd over the coming weeks. <br />
flows from Westmorland to a<br />
new pump station being built<br />
on Sparks Rd.<br />
This will take wastewater<br />
flows away from older<br />
downstream infrastructure<br />
and into other parts of the<br />
network.<br />
It will allow at risk infrastructure<br />
to be renewed without<br />
interruption of residents’<br />
wastewater services as well as<br />
increasing the capacity of the<br />
local network.<br />
The overall scheme involves<br />
constructing a pressure sewer<br />
network which is more than<br />
8km long and up to 450mm in<br />
diameter, along with constructing<br />
a new pump station on<br />
Sparks Rd and carrying out<br />
upgrades to existing pump<br />
stations.<br />
The wastewater pipelines<br />
are being constructed in three<br />
sections – the first section runs<br />
through south-east Halswell<br />
from Kennedys Bush Rd to<br />
the new Sparks Rd pump station.<br />
The second section will run<br />
between the pump station at<br />
the bottom of Penruddock Rise<br />
to the new pump station on<br />
Sparks Rd.<br />
And the third section is<br />
from the new pump station on<br />
Sparks Rd to an existing pump<br />
station on Wigram Rd.<br />

High-tech help from library<br />
RAVI SANYAL’S creation might<br />
look like a toy monster truck.<br />
But it’s really a hi-tech remote<br />
controlled robot worth thousands<br />
of dollars.<br />
The creation of Halswell<br />
entrepreneur, Mr Sanyal, is used<br />
by home inspection companies<br />
to remotely check house foundations.<br />
And it was developed with 3D<br />
printing expertise found at Te<br />
Hāpua: Halswell Centre.<br />
Earlier this year Mr Sanyal’s<br />
company Techmatics Ltd was<br />
working on developing the<br />
specialised robot when they encountered<br />
frustrating problems<br />
with the supplier they were using<br />
for 3D printing.<br />
While researching other options,<br />
Mr Sanyal found to his<br />
surprise that the library, which<br />
has access to seven network<br />
3D printers, had the skills and<br />
resources he needed.<br />
He was given help and advice<br />
from Danny McNeil, a Christchurch<br />
City Libraries learning specialist<br />
who helped him improve<br />
the design.<br />
Mr Sanyal was impressed with<br />
the print quality and the support<br />
he was given.<br />
“We needed to make a particular<br />
case for it and it had to<br />
be done on CAD but we were<br />
having problems with a local<br />
supplier,” Mr Sanyal said.<br />
ROBOT: (Left to right) – Ravi Sanyal with Techmatics software<br />
developer Nathan Sinclair and city council learning specialist<br />
Danny McNeil.<br />
“Halswell library has been fantastic.<br />
It just really helped us out,<br />
we printed 10 prototype cases for<br />
the camera on their 3D printer.”<br />
Mr McNeil said many people<br />
are unaware how up-to-date the<br />
libraries are with new technology,<br />
particularly with their 3D<br />
printers, which are great prototyping<br />
units and use biodegradable<br />
plastic.<br />
City council head of libraries<br />
and information Carolyn<br />
Robertson said this case demonstrates<br />
what the library service is<br />
capable of.<br />
“Having our library staff work<br />
on these kinds of projects means<br />
they are helping to support the<br />
economic contributions of local<br />
entrepreneurs, making the city a<br />
better place for people, business<br />
and investment.”<br />
Techmatics, which also<br />
develops websites and apps and<br />
recently received funding from<br />
Government agency Callaghan<br />
Innovation, has sold several<br />
different versions of the robot<br />
developed with the library’s help.<br />
Mr Sanyal has plenty of other<br />
hi-tech ideas in the pipeline<br />
and plans to use Te Hāpua:<br />
Halswell Centre library again<br />
to 3D print future design prototypes.<br />
“We want to innovate things<br />
that make life easier for people<br />
– if we can help the community<br />
we’re interested,” he said.<br />
Assaults on parking<br />
wardens high in west<br />
•From page 1<br />
It comes as the number of assaults<br />
and abuse being reported<br />
by the city’s parking wardens<br />
has increased in the past year, in<br />
spite of them being given body<br />
cameras to wear.<br />
But the city council said the<br />
new technology has encouraged<br />
staff to report incidents more,<br />
because the footage provided reliable<br />
evidence.<br />
The 21 parking wardens were<br />
given the body-mounted cameras<br />
in April last year. They can be<br />
activated if staff think their safety<br />
is at risk.<br />
“Our experience has shown<br />
that the body worn cameras have<br />
increased safety for our staff<br />
by lessening the seriousness of<br />

incidents and discouraging undesirable<br />
behaviour,” city council<br />
transport operations manager<br />
Aaron Haymes said.<br />
He said previously a number of<br />
incidents went under the radar,<br />
but the cameras now provided<br />
reliable evidence.<br />
“This means it’s more likely<br />
that somebody will be held to<br />
account for their actions, and that<br />
encourages staff to report.”<br />
Mr Haymes said the city<br />
council was always working on<br />
initiatives that reduced the risk of<br />
staff being harmed.<br />
“We want to make sure our<br />
staff make it through their work<br />
day safely and get to go home<br />
at the end of each day to their<br />
families.”<br />
Build your next home<br />
with Artisan Homes<br />
Your local registered Master Builder<br />
Home building is as much about understanding the<br />
landscape and the client as it is the plan and the<br />
materials. From our office in Rolleston, Canterbury our<br />
small company has built a huge range of homes that are<br />
distinctive, stylish, durable and cost-effective.<br />
From clever, compact homes to three bedroom townhouses<br />
to large scale, expansive country style homes, our work<br />
spans all types of house building.<br />
Since 2004 we have carefully built, among other things, a<br />
reputation for constructing high quality houses.<br />
An artisan is someone who is highly skilled in a particular<br />
expertise, a hands-on craftsman – someone who is<br />
passionate about the quality results they produce.<br />
With decades in the business the team at Artisian Homes<br />
have worked in all areas of residential construction. There<br />
are obvious differences between building a two-bedroom<br />
home compared to a six bedroom one. Irrespective, our<br />
overall approach remains the same.<br />
While we have a sound reputation for carefully crafted<br />
home building we also are renowned for getting the right<br />
result no matter what the challenge. Building with difficult<br />
access, looming timelines or tight budgets is just a fact of<br />
life for us. All our tradespeople are qualified and registered<br />
or licensed. Our abilities to design and build a range of<br />
houses have increased over the years, as has our skill and<br />
overall capacity. While we don’t have the franchises of our<br />
larger competitors we do have their networks and buying<br />
power. Which means our clients receive the most costeffective<br />
results possible.<br />
At Artisan Homes, our passion is building homes for<br />
people who appreciate the work that goes into what will,<br />
ultimately, be a home they love to live in.<br />

Church rebuild delayed again after fire<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE REBUILD of the<br />
Bishopdale church gutted by an<br />
arson attack last year has been<br />
delayed by at least a year.<br />
Demolition of the St<br />
Margaret’s Presbyterian Church<br />
on Farrington Ave started earlier<br />
in the month and construction<br />
won’t begin until at least the<br />
middle of next year.<br />
Reverend Andrew Nicol said<br />
the lengthy insurance process<br />
meant the rebuild process hit a<br />
brick wall.<br />
“It’s part of a long insurance<br />
settlement process but it’s settled<br />
now . . . the ball is rolling,” Rev<br />
Nicol said.<br />
He said the church was used<br />
to long insurance processes after<br />
the earthquakes and fire, even if<br />
it was a little frustrating.<br />
“It always takes longer than<br />
you think,” he said.<br />
In January, Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />
reported the rebuild was set to<br />
begin in the middle of the year.<br />
Now Rev Nicol said the<br />
timeline wasn’t clear but the<br />
church was “optimistic” a<br />
rebuild would begin by June<br />
next year.<br />
However, he said the<br />
congregation has a more<br />
positive outlook since it had its<br />
decommissioning service at the<br />
beginning of August.<br />

“We’ve finished that process<br />
of saying goodbye, we can move<br />
onto the next chapter,” Rev Nicol<br />
said.<br />
The church is currently<br />
working with an architect,<br />
which is “really exciting”. The<br />
plans will then be approved by<br />
the congregation.<br />
“It’s now about being<br />
affirmative and complementary<br />
to the renewal of the whole<br />
area,” Rev Nicol said.<br />
He said the church<br />
congregation was upset after<br />
the arson attack but the fire<br />
had emphasised how important<br />
the church is to the wider<br />
community.<br />
“There’s a good heart in<br />
Bishopdale and now we’re just<br />
looking to the future,” he said.<br />
The church suffered almost<br />
$2 million in damage when<br />
Cheyenne Destiny Jade Reed,<br />
a 35-year-old technician, broke<br />
into it and started a fire in May<br />
last year.<br />
Reed was jailed for six years<br />
for the arson and other charges,<br />
including burglary, unlawful<br />
possession of a knife, breach of<br />
bail, receiving a computer and<br />
theft of a car.<br />
The congregation will<br />
continue to meet weekly<br />
at Isleworth School and is<br />
currently fundraising for the<br />
rebuild by selling cheese rolls.<br />
Skate park<br />
on cards for<br />
Papanui<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A NEW skate park is in the<br />
pipeline for Papanui.<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board has asked city council<br />
staff to begin investigations into<br />
finding appropriate sites for a new<br />
skate park in the area.<br />
Staff are also investigating the<br />
possibility of offering free wi-fi at<br />
the park.<br />
To use a skate park, Papanui<br />
residents currently have to go<br />
to either St Albans, Burnside,<br />
Bishopdale or Belfast.<br />
City council staff will report<br />
back to the board on October<br />
13 with appropriate sites and<br />
costings for design, consultation<br />
and construction.<br />
The board will then look to<br />
include this in its submission on<br />
the city council’s Long Term Plan<br />
later in the year.<br />
It comes as the board is also<br />
looking at extensions to the<br />
skate park half pipe at St Albans<br />
Park.<br />

Police investigate<br />
Templeton<br />
home invasion<br />
POLICE ARE investigating a home<br />
invasion where an intruder allegedly<br />
broke in armed with a pistol.<br />
The man demanded money and<br />
other items from the occupants of<br />
a Templeton home at about 7pm on<br />
Sunday, police said.<br />
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant<br />
Joel Syme said he was carrying a<br />
pistol.<br />
The occupants were unharmed<br />
but have been shaken by the<br />
incident, he said.<br />
“We would like to reassure the<br />
public that we are working very<br />
hard to identify and locate the man<br />
involved in this incident. However,<br />
we do believe this was an isolated<br />
incident and there is no risk to the<br />
public,” he said.<br />
A scene examination is currently<br />
under way and police are following<br />
a number of leads.<br />
A stolen vehicle was located<br />
nearby, and initial police inquiries<br />
show it may be connected to the<br />
incident.<br />
Police want to hear from anyone<br />
who saw a white 1994 Ford Festiva<br />
hatchback in the Hornby or<br />
Templeton area between 6pm and<br />
7.30pm on Sunday.<br />

Tall sunflowers on kids’ wish lists<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
CHILDREN WILL learn<br />
valuable gardening skills and<br />
knowledge during the Daltons<br />
Sunflowers in Kindergartens<br />
Project.<br />
Seventeen Christchurch<br />
kindergartens will compete to<br />
grow the tallest sunflower or<br />
widest sunflower head.<br />
Each kindergarten was sent<br />
a Daltons starter pack with<br />
everything the children need<br />
to grow their own sunflowers,<br />
which have the potential to<br />
grow up to 4m.<br />
The tallest sunflower ever<br />
grown in the project’s history<br />
was 3.12m.<br />
The children will learn how<br />
to sow and care for seedlings as<br />
well as daily care of their plant.<br />
Daltons general manager,<br />
Colin Parker, is thrilled with<br />
the return of the project this<br />
year.<br />
“The competition aspect adds<br />
a little extra fun to the project<br />
for the children, but we are<br />
more focused on creating opportunities<br />
to spark a lifelong<br />
love of gardening.”<br />
The competition runs until<br />
December 6, and winners will<br />
be announced on December 8.<br />

Recognition for Con Brio choir<br />
Villa Maria College<br />
cultural captain<br />
Lucy Sutcliffe writes<br />
about Con Brio choir’s<br />
experience at the Big<br />
Sing Finale in August<br />
On August 23, the 46 girls<br />
in Con Brio travelled to Auckland<br />

Sing National Finale joining<br />
24 other choirs from across<br />
the country.<br />
For the competition we<br />
performed five songs – three<br />
were performed at the regional<br />
competition, then two new<br />
songs that we learnt in eight<br />
weeks – Kuimba and Joyful<br />
Joyful.<br />
In the evening when we<br />

AWARDS: Senior Con Brio members Sophie Townshend,<br />
Lucy Sutcliffe and Blythe Ward with choir director Naomi<br />
Hnat with their awards. <br />
Most of us went to the<br />
Auckland waterfront and<br />
ended up singing songs there<br />
which attracted quite a crowd.<br />
But the standard of all the<br />
other choirs was incredibly<br />
high and it was great to watch<br />
them all and learn from their<br />
performances.<br />
At the ceremony Con Brio<br />
was awarded a silver and the<br />
Youth Ambassadors Trophy.<br />
This trophy is given to the<br />
choir that, in the opinion of<br />
FASh I onS<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
the organisers, demonstrates<br />
outstanding engagement with<br />
all elements of The Big Sing<br />
National Finale and shows the<br />
qualities and spirit requisite of<br />
ambassadors for youth.<br />
It was a real honour.<br />
The trip was not only a great<br />
time to perform as a choir, but<br />
was also a great time to bond<br />
with each other.<br />
The trip made me incredibly<br />
proud of all of all the girls, the<br />
way everyone behaved and<br />
performed made me so proud<br />
to be a part of Con Brio.<br />

Rangi claim second<br />
basketball title in row<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
RANGI RURU Girls’ School have<br />
won back-to-back Whelan Trophy<br />
division one titles, beating rivals<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High 51-37<br />
last week.<br />
Played at Cowles Stadium,<br />
it was a repeat of last year’s<br />
Canterbury secondary school<br />
basketball final and, once<br />
again, Rangi Ruru came out on<br />
top.<br />
The final score was very<br />
different to the 74-62 final last<br />
year, when they wrested the<br />
trophy off CGHS.<br />
Rangi Ruru Alice Sproat was<br />
named MVP with nine points<br />
and 15 rebounds. She was backed<br />
up by Junior Tall Fern Esra<br />
McGoldrick’s 20-points and 17<br />
rebounds.<br />
Rangi Ruru director of sport<br />
Jo Fogarty said there was a huge<br />
crowd there supporting the girls.<br />
“What an incredible<br />
atmosphere. That can really make<br />
all the difference to the game<br />
and I have no doubt that support<br />
played a part in Rangi’s decisive<br />
win this year,” she said.<br />
In the Whelan Trophy division<br />
two final St Margaret’s beat<br />
Avonside Girls’ High 65-56 to<br />
claim the title.<br />

St Thomas’ pride shines through in loss<br />
SPORTS<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
A LATE comeback couldn’t<br />
get St Thomas’ over the line in<br />
the Connetics first XI football<br />
competition final as they were<br />
beaten 5-4 on penalties by St<br />
Andrew’s College.<br />
The final was played at English<br />
Park in front of a number of<br />
supporters who brought their<br />
school pride and drums to try to<br />
get their team over the line.<br />
The title was decided by a<br />
penalty shootout after the match<br />
was tied 3-3 at full time.<br />
St Thomas’ coach Richard<br />
Washington said while it was<br />
disappointing to lose, the team<br />
is young and they will learn a lot<br />
from the season.<br />
“It has been a great season<br />
and exceeded expectations . . . I<br />
know we have a very special team<br />
and plenty of depth at school so<br />
the future for St Thomas’ looks<br />
bright,” he said.<br />
“Some say you have to lose a<br />
championship final to win one.<br />
Fingers crossed that rings true.”<br />
Washington said St Andrew’s<br />
were tough competitors this year.<br />
“Credit to St Andrew’s who<br />
took their chances and (their)<br />
penalties were top shelf. You have<br />
HAVING A CRACK: St Thomas’ Aasish Rai has a shot on goal while two defenders look to shut him down. (Right) St Thomas’ fans<br />
turned up in numbers to support their team which was noticed by the opposition.<br />
to respect a side that is stacked<br />
full of top quality players,” he<br />
said.<br />
He praised St Thomas’<br />
supporters who followed the<br />
team to the final.<br />
“I think our college spirit shone<br />
and the support was incredible,<br />
we lost the game but sport won<br />
on the day. Our supporters<br />
came on and supported their St<br />
Thomas’ brothers in a time of<br />
need,” he said.<br />
“The boys chanting and<br />
drumming was pretty special<br />
and school pride and culture<br />
is alive across all our codes at<br />
St Thomas’. We support every<br />
team when they are at the big<br />
occasions.”<br />
St Thomas’ are now looking to<br />
redeem themselves at nationals,<br />
which started yesterday in<br />
Napier.<br />
“We hope all the Christchurch<br />
schools do well at nationals,<br />
because it makes our competition<br />
harder and that’s what we want to<br />
develop quality players from the<br />
region,” he said.<br />
