Sydenham
Park to
reopen in
time for
Golden
Oldies event
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE REOPENING of Sydenham
Park has been delayed for a fourth
time due to wet weather.
City council neighbourhood and
sports parks operation manager Al
Hardy said the renovations will now
be completed by April 1 in time to
host matches in the Christchurch
Casino Golden Oldies Sports Celebration
2018.
“The grass is in its grow-in phase
and we anticipate that the grounds
could start to be utilised progressively
from early April.”
The work to install four cricket
blocks and three sand carpet playing
fields began in April last year.
Originally it was meant to be finished
by July. That was then delayed
until October due to bad weather.
The city council then pushed that
out until February. The city council
told Southern View it has now been
delayed again until April.
Mr Hardy said the delays had been
directly attributed to wet or extreme
weather conditions during winter.
“In August last year we did plan to
have the project completed in February,
however, the wet weather in
August and early September caused
further delays to the commencement
of the three month grow-in period
for the turf.” •Turn to page 7

SURFING IS a bit like tennis and golf.
There are thousands upon thousands of
people who take part in those activities but
only a tiny fraction of that number make it
to the top.
One of those who has that potential features in today’s paper.
Conor McLennan has a chance to live the surfing dream –
that is making a career out of it.
From Waimairi beach, but now based at an academy at Kiwi
surfing mecca, Raglan, he has just won the national under-18
title.
That will hopefully springboard him into the national team
where events further afield from our shores will beckon.
A bright future ahead I suspect.

Woolston Cut dredging starts
Local
News
Now
In Brief
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Bridget Rutherford
A PROJECT to dredge the
Woolston Cut begins this week.
City Care will do the work,
which is taking place between
the flood control gates at Connal
St and Long St.
The project is expected to be
completed by June.
Several small dams would be
constructed in the waterway to
allow the silt to be removed by a
long reach excavator.
It would then be loaded on
trucks and taken away to be
disposed.
During the work, each section
will be fenced off and there will
be no access to the Heathcote
River and walkways in the work
area.
The cut was built in the 1980s
to prevent flooding in the lower
Heathcote River area, and for
other catchment-wide improvements,
such as the upper Heathcote
detention basins.
Water from the Heathcote
flows into the cut, which can
then be opened during floods
using the tidal barrage.
The city council decided to
dredge the cut so it continued to
provide effective flood remediation.
It is currently about 50 per
cent full of silt and liquefaction.
Originally the project was
PROGRESS: The removal of silt from the Woolston Cut will begin this week.
PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS
meant to start in October, but
asbestos was found in the silt,
which caused it to be delayed.
Because of the contamination,
it was expected to cost slightly
more than the original $2.3 million
budget.
Contamination mitigation
strategies have been developed to
ensure contaminated silt will be
removed and disposed of safely
and at the right facility.
However, the majority of the
silt is not contaminated.
The city council has also
installed rubbish booms in the
Heathcote and Avon rivers,
which gather floating debris.
It is then harvested by City
Care and sent to landfill.
Booms were previously
deployed in this way but were
removed following the earthquakes.
BOY RACER RULES
The hearing panel on proposed
boy racer vehicle restrictions
on Summit Rd is likely to be led
by city councillor David East.
The city council will meet on
Thursday to approve the makeup
of the panel. Deputy Mayor
Andrew Turner, city councillor
Tim Scandrett, and community
board members Melanie Coker,
Ross McFarlane, Darrell Latham
and Christine Wilson have been
put forward as panel members.
The proposal would prohibit
vehicles under 3500kg on Summit
Rd, between Rapaki and Gebbies
Pass Rds, and on Worsleys Rd
from 10pm-5am, Thursday to
Monday, and on public holidays.
DYERS PASS RD MEETING
A joint meeting between the
Spreydon-Cashmere and Banks
Peninsula community boards to
discuss the proposed Dyers Pass
Rd speed limit changes and no
passing lines has been tentatively
set for March 2. The city council
is looking at introducing a flat
speed limit of 60km/h from
the Sign of the Takahe to the
intersection of Governors Bay
and Dyers Pass Rds. During the
meeting, the boards will make
a recommendation to the city
council regarding the proposed
changes.

Dream job of keeping abreast of bugs
BRIAN PATRICK loves bugs.
The Woolston entomologist
and ecologist won’t leave home
without a jar in his pocket just in
case he spots a rare specimen.
Creepy crawlies aren’t
everyone’s favourite thing,
but Mr Patrick, who works for
Wildlands Consultants, is in
the middle of his dream job,
collecting insects at the Botanic
Gardens.
Mr Patrick has been tasked
by the city council’s parks conservation
team with a summer
survey of the small fauna living
in the central city park, including
butterflies, moths, cicadas,
grasshoppers, weta, crickets,
praying mantis, cockroaches,
stick insects, beetles, dragonflies,
bees and flies.
He believes the survey is a trailblazer
and shows that a botanic
gardens is full of exciting wildlife.
“This is a New Zealand first.
Nobody has ever been brave
enough to do this before. I’ve
already found plenty of unusual
species. The native brooms have
been yielding a lot of surprises,
especially interesting caterpillars.”
The work, which he is carrying
out during the day and at night,
is mainly funded by Friends
of the Christchurch Botanic
Gardens.
Visitors to the gardens have
been fascinated to see him bashing
bushes, walking around with
a net, and crawling on his hands
and knees on the ground.
At night, usually between
10pm and midnight, he uses a
160 watt UV light and a white
sheet to trap moths and butterflies
and other nocturnal insects.
After he finishes his survey
in late summer he will present
the gardens with a pinned and
named collection of dried insects
in entomological boxes.
He will explain the significance
of his findings including noting
which are new, threatened or
endangered species.
Botanic Gardens curator John
Clemens said the survey results
will provide valuable information

Gardens keep

on plants the insects are associating
with which will help guide
future decisions.
“By improving our plant collection
we can also look after the
insect life. We’re intrigued to see
what Brian will come up with
about the ecology of the gardens,”
he said.
Mr Patrick is an expert on the
order lepidoptera, a large group
of insects that includes moths
and butterflies.
He started collecting bugs as a
10-year-old living in Invercargill
and still has records of his first
trip on January 1, 1970, when he
began a database.
Since then he has carried out
about 3770 bug hunting trips.
Why does he love insects so
much?
“I think I’m driven by patterns.
I like the striking patterns on
their wings, the distribution
patterns, and patterns in the way
they interact with the plants they
feed on. I’m a mathematically
trained person so that makes it
really rewarding when you come
to predictions based on your
observations.”
We’ve been trusted to look after hundreds
of properties all over Christchurch.
You can trust us to look after your’s too.

Denton group thankful for support
• By Emily O’Connell
A COUNTRY rugby club is
getting behind its Hornby
‘friends’ in a bid to stop the city
council’s plan to build a $35.7
million mega centre in Denton
Park.
Darfield rugby club president
Scott McIlroy said it will do
whatever is needed to help the
Hornby Rugby Football Club.
“If they’re trying to close
Denton Park, we’ll definitely be
in behind them to try and keep
it going,” he said.
The proposed facility has been
highly controversial with sports
clubs fearful of losing their
home grounds.
Mr McIlroy said he’s not sure
what they can do to assist yet.
“No, I don’t know what options
are available but I’m sure
we’ll look at anything that helps
them tick along,” he said.
Hornby club chairwoman Lyn
Hucklebridge is grateful for the
support and she hopes more
clubs follow suit.
Mrs Hucklebridge said the
Save Denton Park group will
discuss what Darfield could do
and get back to them.
“What we need is for everyone
to be outspoken about the whole
process,” she said.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Taggers hit
Halswell
• By Emily O’Connell
HALSWELL residents are
concerned with the amount of
graffiti which has appeared in
their suburb.
City council graffiti clean-up
volunteer and Halswell Residents’
Association treasurer Matt
Shallcrass said State Highway 75
in Halswell is a popular spot for
vandalism.
“I think it’s just people passing
through the area,” he said.
Mr Shallcrass has reported
eight graffiti incidents in Halswell
already this month.
Which is a large increase compared
to his one report in December
and two in November.
He uses the city council’s Snap,
Send, Solve application to record
the vandalism.
The application works by identifying
the location the photo is
taken using the phone’s Global
Positioning System data.
It sends an email to the city
council from your email address,
including the incident type, notes,
address of incident, photo and
contact details.
The report is then allocated to
the city council.
Mr Shallcrass doesn’t believe
school holidays have anything to
do with the rise in graffiti.

•From page 1
Mr Hardy said after wet
weather the ground could
quickly become waterlogged,
even after two days of rain.
“This means the heavy machinery
required for trenching
drainage and levelling the fields
cannot be used until the ground
has dried out over a period of
time, sometimes weeks.”
Sydenham Park will be one
of many to host Christchurch
Casino Golden Oldies Sports
Celebration 2018 in early April.
Mr Hardy said three cricket
blocks will be available to host
matches.
He said there was a narrow
window between winter and
summer to do renovation
works.
“Christchurch turns its sports
fields around, making them
available for summer sport
quicker than any other major
metropolitan city. This year we
have had to increase the amount
of renovation activity as a result
of the very wet winter,” Mr
Hardy said.
“Sydenham Park, when completed,
will provide yearlong capacity
to the local community.”

Run by the city council, the

kite-makers and enthusiasts who
battled the 31 deg C heat.

also known as ‘The Kite Lady’,
who lives in Christchurch but
travels around New Zealand
running kite-making workshops
for children with her business

Ms Adam liaised with some of
the guest kite flyers who attended
the popular Kite Day event.
One of the guests at the
event was Perrin Melchior, of
Auckland, who uses the recycled
skins of damaged kite surfing
kites to make intricate 3D and

Ms Adam says flying a kite is
the best way to raise the spirits
and is also a great social
activity.
“Whenever I fly a kite, people
come and talk to me. It makes
people smile and they’ll come
over and tell me stories about

Private hair colouring services at
Elite Hair Cuts
Have you ever thought about
colouring your hair? No specific reason
needed, but many people have all kinds
of reason for colouring their hair.
Greying, change, experimentation,
fashion, illness, fun. No excuse is
actually needed to colour your hair in
the private colouring room at Elite Hair
Cuts located on Barrington Street.
Owner, Louise has been a stylist for
decades and is an expert at cutting
curly hair, short styles, youth cuts,
women’s styles and senior cuts.
“I love what I do. It is so
wonderful to have a person
walk into the salon and
walk out several minutes
later feeling great about
themselves.” Louise
adds.
“I have had repeat
customers for years
and I value their
loyalty. I enjoy people and
appreciate when a new
customer enters the salon. My goal is
to make my customers experience so
positive and rewarding that they want
to return time and time again. Even
recommending Elite Hair Cuts to their
family and friends.”
Over the past several months, a few
clients made a request which Louise
honoured when they wished for a
completely private hair colouring room.
“I wanted them to have a space where
they could relax. A place that felt
like home. A room they could
sit back and enjoy a cup of
tea or coffee. Put their feet
up and read a book or just
relax in, while they
waited on their hair
colour to complete.
In most salons, the
client is out in public
for an extensive
period of time. At
Elite Hair Cuts you
will enjoy a private
room so you will feel comfortable and
at ease. My clients have appreciated and
enjoyed their private colouring room
experience.”

Conor lives the surfing dream SPORTS
• By Sophie Cornish
CONOR MCLENNAN is living
every young surfers dream –
hitting the school books in the
morning and riding waves in the
afternoon.
The Raglan Surf Academy student
recently won the under-18
title at the national surfing championships
in Gisborne.
Originating from Waimairi
Beach, Conor, 17, represented his
home club, North Wai Boardriders,
in the competition.
He moved to Raglan in 2016
to start at the academy. The programme
is part of Raglan Area
School and was set up in 1998.
It allows students to complete
NCEA while learning about
surfing both in and out of the
classroom.
“We write reports about surfing,
the safety of surfing and trying
to get out to surf breaks, then
every lunchtime we will finish up
and go surfing. It’s a great life, I
love it,” said Conor. The national
final came down to a tight finish,
TWISTS AND TURNS: Conor Mclennan competing at the Health 2000 national surfing
championships where he won the under-18 title. PHOTO: CORY/NZ SURFING MAGAZINE
which Conor said made time go
by “very, very slowly.”
“It was the best feeling ever, I
don’t think words can describe
how stoked I was to win that, I’ve
been working so hard for it for
the last year and it all paid off. It’s
a really good way for me to start
the year,” he said.
His parents watched on from
the beach. “It was a very cool feeling
to win in front of my mum
and dad . . . to win in front of
them was probably the greatest
feeling of it all,” he said.
The former Christchurch
Boys’ High School student won
another national title in 2014 at
the national scholastic secondary
schools championship.
He was also the under-17 Billabong
grom series champion last
year. Conor is already looking
ahead to the future, hoping to
secure himself a spot in the
New Zealand under-18 junior
worlds team, which he narrowing
missed out on last year, making a
reserve spot.
“This year I’m going all out for
it,” he said.
After finishing year 13,
Conor wants to work towards
gaining sponsorship and competing
in some qualifying series
events.
Wimbledon to the West Coast
• By Gordon Findlater
THREE YEARS ago Englishman
Harry Weeds was representing
his county on the lush grass
courts of Wimbledon. At the
weekend, he won the West Coast
Open while sleeping in his car at
a campground.
“I spent the first night in my
car but had to have the door
open all night because it was
stinking hot. I splashed out on
Saturday night and stayed in a
cabin,” said Weeds.
Now a Woolston resident and
Cashmere Tennis Club member,
he dominated the cultured astroturf
at the Grey United Tennis
Club going unbeaten over two
days of competition.
The 23-year-old decided to
enter the tournament due to the
holiday break in the Canterbury
premier inter-club competition
and to also explore the sights of
Greymouth.
Weeds went through the tournament
relatively untested until
his final match against Vaughan
Kingi. Weeds found himself
down a break in both sets of the
match but rallied to win 7-6, 6-4.
He also teamed up with Kingi
to win the doubles title. Weeds
was awarded $200 for winning
the singles title and $75 for the
doubles.
“It was a successful trip. That
covered all of my petrol, food
and accommodation,” said
Weeds. He celebrated his win by
visiting the Monteith’s Brewing
Co and spending some of his
prize money on beer tasting and
fries.
“The Golden Lager was my
favourite. It was a very refreshing
drop after a gruelling two days

Horn in 2015. On Sunday,
Weeds won the West Coast
Open in Greymouth.
of battle on the West Coast,” said
Weeds.
In June, he moved to Christchurch
from Norwich, England, for
what he describes as a working
adventure.
Weeds has played on a number
of courts at Wimbledon during
his time in England. In 2014, he
represented his county, Norfolk,
in a match against the All England
Lawn Tennis and Croquet
Club.
Retaining his West Coast titles
in 2019 has already been added
to his to-do list while in New
Zealand. “I’ll definitely be back.
Greymouth has given itself a special
place in my heart.”

Young golfer to learn from Ko
Shoot-off goes
to Brettkelly
FORMER Christchurch Boys’ High
golfer Dominic Brettkelly won the
Canterbury stroke play in a sudden
death shoot-off.
He, along with Rangiora’s Kazuma
Kobori, were tied on 212 after
three rounds forcing a shoot-off
which Brettkelly won on the second
hole at the Waitikiri Golf Club on
Sunday​. He also won the best under-19
score title.
Burnside High’s Juliana Hung
won the senior women’s title shooting
75, 69 and 68 for a combined 212
six shots ahead of Jeonghyun Lee.
A Canterbury Golf spokeswoman
said the full field of 96 players had
great conditions over the weekend
but also playing a course which was
in excellent condition.
“The field was strengthened with
over 30 entries from outside the
region, predominately due to the enhanced
initiative formed with Otago
and Southland Golf this year,” she
said.
Brettkelly was also the winner of
the inaugural Ron Clement Memorial
Trophy which was presented by
Ron’s wife Rae and daughter Tracy.
“Clements was heavily involved in
the development of junior golf and
so it is fitting that this year we now
have the Ron Clements Memorial
Trophy which is awarded for the
best under-19 boys score,” she said.
OPPORTUNITY: Amelia Garvey will learn from former
world No 1 Lydia Ko in the United States.
IT IS the dream start to the year for
Christchurch golfer Amelia Garvey
with an opportunity to learn from
former world No 1 Lydia Ko in the
United States.
Garvey will travel with Auckland’s
Rose Zheng to Scottsdale in
Phoenix, Arizona and spend time
with Ko, training and playing ​at
one of the most exclusive golfing
establishments in the world after
being offered the scholarship by
New Zealand Golf and Ko.
The former Burnside High student
is ranked No 1 in Canterbury
and ninth in the New Zealand
amateur rankings.
The pair will be with Ko from
Thursday to Saturday learning
about the game they both want to
pursue as a career.
For Garvey, last year was a
success. Her highlights included
winning the New Zealand amateur
stroke play championship and being
the only New Zealand amateur
to make the half-way cut in the
LPGA Tour New Zealand Women’s
Open.
Those performances helped her
secure a golf scholarship to the
University of Southern California
which she will start after her time
with Ko.
Ko, who signed to play with PXG
clubs last year, said the motivation
behind the scholarship is so she can
give back to the game by inspiring
the next generation of females to
strive for the top to see what it
takes to get there and help grow the
Lydia Ko Rose Zheng
number of New Zealanders competing
with her on the LPGA Tour.
Ko is excited at the opportunity
to host Garvey and Zheng and
proud to be able to provide support
back to females in golf to show
recognition of the support she
received along her journey.
“I received support from so many
people as I grew up and I’m proud
to be able to give something back,”
Ko said.
“I am really pleased to be able to
work with New Zealand Golf and
use the scholarship with the intention
to help the next wave of young
golfers rise and compete on the
LPGA Tour.”
Through the Lydia Ko Scholarship,
both New Zealand Golf and
Ko hope to attract more interest
from the emerging talent within
the women’s game.
Last year the recipients of the
scholarship were Alanna Campbell
and Momoka Kobori, of Rangiora,
who have both taken up scholarships
to Iowa State University and
Pepperdine University respectively.

Lincoln Decision Day helps
students choose future
2018 has come around quickly. Maybe
school is fast becoming a memory, or perhaps
you are looking for a new direction. If you
are new to tertiary study, 2018 might even be
fees free, giving you the perfect start to your
academic study.
On 25 January Lincoln University is holding
its Decision Day event on campus, from 9am
to 4pm. Experts will be available to answer
your questions about what to study, help you
enrol and discuss your options so that the
decision about where to study becomes easier.
Lincoln is gearing up for a big year, adding
new majors to its popular Commerce degrees
as well as new programmes, to make sure it is
offering choice to students.
Students are now able to include a
transferable environmental management
major into a commerce degree, ensuring
they are ready to meet the environmental
challenges they will face in the future.

REAL ESTATE
Contemporary living with an Art Deco twist
38 Bryndwr Road, Fendalton
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | Listing Number: PI49743
Combining the undeniable style of the
Art Deco era with contemporary luxuries,
this substantial property has undergone an
extensive renovation to create an unforgettable
- yet very practical - family home. Enjoying
a north-facing aspect in a highly desirable
location amongst other high-calibre properties,
it is zoned for Fendalton School, Cobham
Intermediate, Boys’ High and Girls’ High. A
choice of supermarkets and cafés within two
minutes’ drive and easy access to both CBD
and airport also ensure incredible convenience.
Inside, a chic new kitchen flows to two
adjoining living spaces, both beautifully sunny
and opening to the landscaped (and very
private) garden for effortless entertaining. A
spacious terrace upstairs further extends the
options for outdoor living. Four bedrooms plus
office share two contemporary bathrooms,
while a separate garden studio would be ideal
for working from home. The separate double
garage boasts the practicality of a high stud.
The owners have lavished their attention
on transforming this remarkable home,
including aluminium double-glazing to ensure
year-round comfort, but a new project now
beckons. This is your opportunity to secure
an architecturally exciting home without
sacrificing contemporary comfort. Contact us
today to view this stunning property.

MICHAEL Jackson fans will be moonwalking their way to
theatres next month as the Michael Jackson HIStory Show
makes it's return to New Zealand.
Aer an approximate 5000+ performances in the past nine
years across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong,
Dubai, Indonesia, South Africa, Canada and the US, word of
this show has spread amongst the MJ community, with the
show being inundated with pleas to come back to the NZ
stage. It was this persistent devotion of admirers that allowed
producer John Van Grinsven to hear the requests loud and
clear, ultimately leading to the Michael Jackson HIStory
Show's return.
e world-class production showcases all of Michael
Jackson's greatest hits live on stage, complemented by the
famous dance moves that fans all know, love and aspire to do.
Star of the show, Dantanio, will be accompanied by a lively
six-piece band, four groovy backup dancers and a
phenomenal lighting team.
e show features 40 different customised costumes,
twenty of which are for the MJ character alone. Over 100
hours have been dedicated to the lighting design, which
makes use of 160+ moving lights and over 2000 lighting cues
arranged to punctuate and enhance the musical elements of
the show.
Playing the role of Michael is Dantanio, a South African
theatre performer and solo recording artist who has been
studying and impersonating Jackson since the age of nine!
e Michael Jackson HIStory Show takes place at the Isaac
eatre Royal on Monday 19th February 2018.
Tickets are on sale now at Ticketek or visit
www.mjhistoryshow.com for ticketing and further
