Feedback<br />
sought on<br />
location,<br />
features<br />
of $21m<br />
Linwood<br />
Woolston<br />
Pool<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
COMMUNITY consultation is<br />
about to start on the $21 million<br />
Linwood Woolston Pool.<br />
At its meeting yesterday, the<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board tabled a<br />
document which will go out to the<br />
community in the next four to six<br />
weeks to gather feedback on the<br />
pool’s location and features of the<br />
facility.<br />
In a report, city council staff<br />
said the consultation would “support<br />
a fully informed decision on<br />
the selection of a site and gather<br />
additional feedback on community<br />
requirements/expectations of<br />
the facility.”<br />
Feedback will then be taken<br />
into consideration during the<br />
development of the pool’s concept<br />
plan, which is expected to be<br />
started in July.<br />

FINALLY, WE have some action on the<br />
long-running saga of a pool in Linwood/<br />
Woolston.<br />
Community consultation is about to<br />
begin on the $21 million project. In the<br />
next four to six weeks the public will be able to have their say on<br />
where it should be and what features they would like.<br />
This step has been a very long time coming but there is light,<br />
albeit still distant, at the end of the tunnel.<br />
The area needs a pool and somewhere along Linwood Ave is<br />
probably a good spot.<br />
On the facilities front, great news for Parklands and<br />
Queenspark – stage 1 of the Pukeko Centre has opened.<br />
Lots of hard work has gone in by the community.<br />

Pier scaffolding recovered<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
DIVERS HELPED recover the<br />
scaffolding which broke loose<br />
from the New Brighton Pier<br />
during Cyclone Gita.<br />
The high tide and large waves<br />
on Wednesday caused one of the<br />
scaffolding’s gantries to fall into<br />
the sea.<br />
Divers and a boat, along<br />
with an excavator, winches and<br />
cables, were used last week to<br />
recover the metal framework.<br />
City council contractors were<br />
forced to remove scaffolding<br />
boards and wind down<br />
operations on the pier during<br />
Cyclone Gita as a precaution.<br />
“There is likely to be debris<br />
near the beach that poses a<br />
potential hazard to surfers,” city<br />
council staff said.<br />
Contractors have been<br />
working since the start of<br />
the year to repair columns<br />
which sustained damage in<br />
the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
The $9.7 million pier repairs<br />
are set to be completed next<br />
month.<br />
REPAIRS TO CLOCK<br />
Scaffolding has been erected<br />
to mark the beginning of<br />
repairs to the New Brighton<br />
clock tower. Structural<br />
engineers will start to<br />
complete investigations about<br />
the damage sustained. Some<br />
damage has been caused from<br />
the earthquakes, however<br />
other is historical damage.<br />
City council has ensured that<br />
access ways including the<br />
ramp and some steps have<br />
remained clear to the café and<br />

Parklands sports centre opens pavilion<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
STAGE ONE of a multi-use<br />
sports and recreation facility in<br />
Parklands was officially opened<br />
on Saturday by Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel.<br />
The first stage of the Pukeko<br />
Centre consists of a clubrooms<br />
and pavilion, which is located<br />
on the grounds of the Parklands<br />
Bowling Club.<br />
The pavilion project cost more<br />
than $1 million and includes a<br />
bar, lounge area, separate office,<br />
meeting rooms and a commercial<br />
kitchen.<br />
There is also seating for up to<br />
200 people and a viewing deck<br />
looking out on to the bowling<br />
green.<br />
The centre is a joint venture<br />
between the bowling club and<br />
Parklands Rugby Football Club,<br />
which will also use the facility’s<br />
clubrooms.<br />
The bowling club’s facilities<br />
were damaged beyond repair<br />
in the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011, earthquake<br />
and the rugby club has<br />
been without a clubrooms for<br />
three years.<br />
Two buildings, a school hall<br />
and a ‘modern learning studio’<br />
were relocated to the site from<br />
the former Freeville School.<br />
Centre spokeswoman Jane<br />
Mahoney said it was “a stroke of<br />
genius” to approach the Ministry<br />
of Education to relocate the<br />
buildings, which were earmarked<br />
for demolition.<br />
The ministry then gifted the<br />
buildings to the two clubs.<br />
Mrs Mahoney said parents of<br />
former Freeville School pupils<br />
were “thrilled” the buildings<br />
were not demolished. A big<br />
fundraising effort from the community<br />
led to the development of<br />

The next stages of the project<br />
include turning the school hall<br />
into a multi-use sports hall,<br />
building an outdoor all-weather<br />
sports court, landscaping and car<br />
parking.<br />
Grants from the New Zealand<br />
Community Trust, Rata Foundation<br />
and Southern Trust are<br />
being used to fund the development.<br />
Local businesses and trades<br />
people have also offered their<br />
time and money.<br />
Mrs Mahoney said there had<br />
been “thousands” of volunteer<br />
hours put in already.<br />
The opening was attended by<br />
150 guests, including Christchurch<br />
East MP Poto Williams,<br />
community representatives,<br />
sponsors and members from the<br />
two sport clubs.<br />

Feedback sought<br />
on $21m Linwood<br />
Woolston pool<br />
•From page 1<br />
The city council has allocated<br />
about $21.6 million in its Long<br />
Term Plan for the facility and<br />
outlined its preferred location as<br />
the nursery site at Linwood Park,<br />
near the corner of Linwood Ave<br />
and Smith St.<br />
“This location meets all<br />
our criteria, which makes it a<br />
standout option for the community.<br />
Currently this section of<br />
Linwood Park is an old nursery<br />
that is no longer used and has<br />
good quality land that is already<br />
owned by the city council,” the<br />
report said.<br />
Other benefits of the Linwood<br />
Park site include proximity to<br />
Eastgate Shopping Centre and<br />
the Linwood Library. There is<br />
also a major cycleway next to the<br />
site and room for the facility to<br />
grow.<br />
Further possible locations<br />
identified include Woolston<br />
Park, 180 Smith St, the Linwood<br />
Service Centre, an alternative<br />
location on Linwood Park and<br />
Bromley Park.<br />
Construction of the pool is not<br />
expected to start until the end of<br />
next year and be completed in<br />
2021.<br />
“Once this round of engagement<br />
has closed . . . a recommendation<br />
on where it should<br />
be built will be made to the<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board. At this stage,<br />
we expect that they will decide<br />
on a site mid-<strong>2018</strong>,” the consultation<br />
document said.<br />
There will be a second round of<br />
consultation regarding the facility’s<br />
concept design.<br />
“We expect this will kick off<br />
early in the second half of <strong>2018</strong>.”<br />
The former Woolston Outdoor<br />
Pool, which was next to the old<br />
Woolston School, was removed<br />
in 2006.<br />
The community has been campaigning<br />
for a new one for years.<br />

NATIVE FISH, including eels<br />
and whitebait, are being rescued<br />
from the Linwood Canal to<br />
ensure their survival while a new<br />
cycleway is built.<br />
Work on the second stage of<br />
the Rapanui-Shag Rock Cycleway<br />
along Linwood Ave between Linwood<br />
Park and Dyers Rd started<br />
in early January.<br />
A cofferdam – an enclosure<br />
built in the water to create<br />
a dry work environment for<br />
construction – is being built in<br />
the Linwood Canal to widen the<br />
shoulder of Linwood Ave.<br />
Water will be drained from<br />
the cofferdam leaving resident<br />
fish – likely including eels,<br />
inanga (whitebait) and common<br />
bullies – marooned if they’re not<br />
removed first.<br />
WPS Opus Ecologist Annabelle<br />
Coates, who is carrying<br />
out the rescue mission for the<br />
city council, is unsure how many<br />
fish she will find: “We’re not<br />
expecting huge numbers because<br />
traditionally the Linwood Canal<br />
hasn’t been that diverse, however,<br />
we could be surprised by the<br />
numbers and species as that has<br />
been known to happen at other<br />
locations.”<br />
She is hopeful there could be<br />
some endangered long-finned<br />
eels living in the canal.<br />
Ms Coates will use fyke nets<br />
to catch as many fish in the<br />
cofferdam as possible before collecting<br />
the rest using an electric<br />
fishing machine that attracts<br />
and then stuns the fish. She’ll<br />
remove them from the water in a<br />
net before releasing them in the<br />
main part of the canal. The process<br />
does not harm the fish and<br />
is deliberately being carried out<br />
outside of spawning season.<br />
The ecologist will also be on<br />
hand when water is drained from<br />
the cofferdam in case there are<br />
any fish left behind. “The council<br />
has an obligation to protect<br />
native fish and to maintain fish<br />
passage so this has to be done<br />
and it’s an easy thing to do to<br />
save them,” she says.<br />

manager Adrian Thein said fish<br />
conservation is a condition of resource<br />

part of minimising the impact<br />
of cycleway work on the local<br />

“Native fish and their spawning<br />

2 down, 4 to go!<br />
We’re working in three key central<br />
city intersections over six weekends,<br />
8pm Fri to 6am Mon, until 26 March.<br />
We’ve finished work in the Montreal/<br />
Tuam intersection. There are four more<br />
weekends of work in two intersections<br />
to go.<br />
These intersections need replacing.<br />
We’re digging them out and rebuilding<br />
them to extend their lifespan.<br />
Road layers need ‘curing’, or drying time.<br />
If you don’t see us on site, don’t worry –<br />
we’ll be back again soon.<br />
The intersections will remain rougher<br />
than usual until April or May, when the<br />
final surface will be applied.<br />

Reporting issues made easier by phone app<br />
Dallington<br />
resident Patrick<br />
Boland writes<br />
about the city<br />
council’s Snap<br />
Send and Solve<br />
phone app and<br />
whether it has<br />
been an effective tool in<br />
getting problems solved<br />
within the community<br />
ONE THING I love about our<br />
local community is how people<br />
aren’t afraid to call it how it is<br />
and to take some action to solve<br />
problems.<br />
In spite of not always feeling<br />
the love in terms of service, it’s in<br />
our nature to give things a go and<br />
get things done.<br />
One of the best tools I have<br />
found lately is the Snap Send<br />
Solve app. It allows you to take<br />
CLICK: Dallington resident Patrick Boland uses the Snap Send<br />
and Solve app to report issues in his community to the city<br />
council and ECan.<br />
pictures with your phone and<br />
report problems (like pollution,<br />
etc) to both the city council and<br />
Environment Canterbury.<br />
You can log something and<br />
straight away it goes into these<br />
organisations’ tracking systems<br />
and usually the results are<br />
good.<br />
It can be used to report issues<br />
with graffiti, rubbish, parks,<br />
roads, waterways and so on.<br />
I love it because I have a phobia<br />
of using telephones and I can<br />
log problems and know they got<br />
to the right place and are being<br />
tracked.<br />
I have found it particularly<br />
useful with getting rid of graffiti<br />
and rubbish dumped in our<br />
corner of the red zone.<br />
Snap Send Solve was also<br />
effective in getting a faded<br />
pedestrian crossing painted so<br />
that motorists could see it and<br />
stop.<br />
This was done within a week of<br />
the request.<br />
Where hasn’t it been so<br />
effective for me?<br />
I reported a problem with<br />
traffic light phasing, where there<br />
are often 12 cars queued during<br />
peak hours and the lights were<br />
letting two to three cars out per<br />
phase.<br />
In spite of backing up my<br />
report with pictures and<br />
timings, I was told there was<br />
no problem and no changes<br />
would be made.<br />
It often depends on who<br />
receives your report.<br />
Also, once I reported a large<br />
amount of sediment dumped into<br />
a waterway and ECan only got<br />
the report two days later.<br />
So maybe sometimes you still<br />
do need to use that telephone.<br />
Readers respond to an<br />
article about trees in South<br />
New Brighton Domain<br />
which could fall at anytime,<br />
according to Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community Board<br />
deputy chairman Tim Sintes<br />
Maria Mann – Those trees<br />
have been unsafe for weeks. My<br />
dad, my son and myself walk in<br />
the domain. They should have<br />
been removed a while ago.<br />
Andrew Gold – Lock everyone<br />
inside, it’s too unsafe outside.<br />
Just leave it alone.<br />
Tess Lenihan – Not happening.<br />
Too much money has<br />
been spent already. They’ve<br />
increased rates for that church<br />
and are pondering fuel tax for<br />
road repairs. I’d hate to see where<br />
they get money from for general<br />
maintenance.<br />
Peter Cooper – That’s just<br />
the top roots . . . how far down do<br />
they actually go?<br />
Andrew McDrury – Yes,<br />
well that one is clearly toast.<br />
It’s hard to imagine why you<br />
wouldn’t assess the rest.<br />
HANGING ON: Tim Sintes (inset) says damaged trees in the<br />
South New Brighton Domain are a health and safety concern.<br />
Jo Garrick – Simple answer,<br />
yes. The question should not have<br />
even been asked, safety first.<br />
Mark McLaren – They will<br />
have to put the rates up to be able<br />
to get to this.<br />
John Le Riche – Sadly, yes,<br />
they should go, it’s an accident<br />
waiting too happen.<br />
Vanessa Penney – It’s not<br />
rocket science, if they are dangerous<br />
they go.<br />
Keep QE II in the East<br />
spokeswoman Jo Zervos<br />
responds to Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community Board<br />
member Linda Stewart’s<br />
soapbox about the need<br />
for a 50m pool at the new<br />
recreation and sport centre<br />
The Keep QE II in the East<br />
group are supportive of Linda<br />
Stewart’s proposal for extra pool<br />
space at the new QE II facility.<br />
There is so much excitement in<br />
our community for the impending<br />
opening of the new facility in<br />
June. However, we are concerned<br />
not everyone in our community<br />
will get a fair opportunity to<br />
use it. There are so many clubs,<br />
groups and individuals wanting<br />
to use the new facility, along with<br />
the thousands of school children<br />
from the area.<br />
Lane swimmers, aqua-joggers,<br />
swim clubs, water polo players<br />
and leisure swimmers will have<br />
to fit in around city council-run<br />
programmes and classes.<br />
We have always opposed the<br />
QE II replacement complex being<br />
built in the city. QE II has always<br />
been the perfect site, with links<br />
to other recreational sites (river,<br />
beaches, forest, red zone, wetlands)<br />
and it is the perfect area to<br />
host triathlons, which would use<br />
a 50m pool.<br />
The original QE II facility was<br />
built with a huge amount of local<br />
community input. The insurance<br />
money from QE II should have<br />
been fully reinvested in a replacement<br />
facility in the east.<br />
Christchurch is in dire need<br />
of a 50m competition pool, and<br />
with the proposed metro centre<br />
in doubt, surely an alternative site<br />
should be considered.<br />
By the time Christchurch gets<br />
a replacement competition pool,<br />
a full decade of swimmers have<br />
missed out.<br />
We propose that one of the<br />
quickest and economical options<br />
for the city is to add on to the<br />
new QE II facility.<br />

MORE THAN 350 young<br />
athletes swam and ran for medals<br />
in the southern region junior<br />
Reader Shirley Forbes<br />
responds to Linda<br />
Stewart’s soapbox about<br />
the need for a 50m pool at<br />
the new QE II facility<br />
As co-ordinator of the QE II<br />
early birds and over 50s club<br />
with Willie Pitama and Nellie<br />
Evans, our group sincerely<br />
wishes to support<br />
Linda Stewart to<br />
get a 50m pool<br />
added to the city<br />
council’s 10-year<br />
plan.<br />
Our group has<br />
been operating<br />
social events<br />
for more than<br />
30 years and<br />
still meets at<br />
least once a<br />
month since<br />
the earthquakes<br />
to keep our<br />
members in touch.<br />
They are spread all over the<br />
city and country now.<br />
So many competitive<br />
swimmers, water polo players,<br />
surf lifesavers, in fact all water<br />
sports have suffered so much<br />
and need reassurance that a<br />
replacement 50m pool is in the<br />
Linda Stewart<br />
surf lifesaving championships on<br />
<strong>February</strong> 17 and 18.<br />
Athletes from eight clubs across<br />
Otago and Canterbury competed<br />
in the annual event which was<br />
pipeline to keep their aspirations<br />
alive and heading towards their<br />
goals.<br />
My son Grant broke the<br />
Christchurch secondary schools<br />
record when he qualified for<br />
the Commonwealth Games in<br />
Brisbane in 1982.<br />
Isn’t it ridiculous that no one<br />
gets the chance to break that<br />
record for more<br />
than 36 years,<br />
simply because we<br />
have no competition<br />
pool for our young<br />
athletes to swim in?<br />
The athletic<br />
track also has<br />
taken so long that<br />
a lot of families<br />
have to go to the<br />
added expense of<br />
relocating their<br />
athletes or families.<br />
We all hope<br />
the Christchurch<br />
community will get behind this<br />
recommendation as it is vital for<br />
our different sports to continue<br />
at a high level in Canterbury.<br />
Now would be the best time<br />
to build before building prices<br />
escalate higher and higher.<br />
Luckily, we have plenty of<br />
land at QE II for this important<br />
project.<br />
held at New Brighton beach.<br />
The events included sprints,<br />
beach flags, board races, board<br />
rescues, relays and swimming<br />
races.<br />
The athletes ranged in ages<br />
from seven to 14.<br />
North Beach Surf Life<br />
Saving Club secretary Emma<br />
Derrick said the day was a<br />
success for the North Beach<br />
athletes, especially considering<br />
many of them are new to the<br />
sport this season.<br />
“It was a really enjoyable day, a<br />
lot of the children got to gain<br />
new experience and<br />
competition.”<br />
Mrs Derrick said a large<br />
amount of the club’s athletes<br />
made the finals and took home<br />
medals.<br />

New lease of life for<br />
Avebury House<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
AVEBURY HOUSE Community<br />
Trust will receive $11,500 to go<br />
towards its three-year plan to<br />
re-establish the role the historic<br />
building plays in the community.<br />
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board approved<br />
the grant last week which will<br />
come out of its strengthening<br />
communities fund.<br />
Located in Richmond, the<br />
trust’s aim is to renew itself as a<br />
community development organisation<br />
and social enterprise.<br />
The house is now part of the<br />
residential red zone. The trust offers<br />
free or low cost activities for<br />
people to socialise at the house.<br />
The funding will cover wages<br />
for a new employee, an upgrade<br />
to the kitchen, an ICT upgrade<br />
and other expenses.<br />
The new employee will have<br />
a community development role<br />
and will be tasked with finding<br />
out what local people need.<br />
The trust will also carry out<br />
surveys using social media and<br />
phone campaigns in an attempt<br />
to get a further understanding<br />
of how it can benefit the community.<br />
By establishing itself as a social<br />
enterprise, the house can be used<br />
as a venue for weddings, meetings<br />
and small conferences.<br />
Upgrading the kitchen will also<br />
allow it to be hired out for activities<br />
such as cooking classes.<br />

Whitebait initiative gets pupils to take care of waterways<br />
A MINISTRY of Business<br />
Innovation and Employment<br />
grant will allow pupils from<br />
South New Brighton, Waitākiri<br />
and Rawhiti schools to learn<br />
about the life cycle of whitebait<br />
(inanga) in red zone waterways.<br />
Investigate: Īnanga is a new<br />
educational initiative designed to<br />
meet New Zealand curriculum<br />
LEARNING: EOS Ecology<br />

standards. It will be delivered in<br />
collaboration with teachers and<br />
scientists in class and in the field.<br />
Haeata Community Campus<br />
students will also take part in the<br />
initiative.<br />
Said Anzac Drive Reservebased<br />
Mahinga Kai Exemplar<br />
project manager Kathryn Bates:<br />
“Recent post-quake studies have<br />
found parts of the edge of Kate<br />
Sheppard Lake are very productive<br />
inanga spawning areas,<br />
which provides an opportunity<br />
for young pupils to learn about<br />
a significant aspect of the world<br />
around them.<br />
“Not only do they get to<br />
understand the life cycle of an<br />
important native species, they<br />
also learn about the kind of<br />
habitat that they live in and why<br />
it is important we look after our<br />
rivers and wetlands,” she said.<br />
The initiative is a collaboration<br />
between Avon-Otakaro Network,<br />
Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu,<br />
EOS Ecology Ltd and Whitebait<br />
Connection.<br />
Regenerate Christchurch chief<br />
executive Ivan Iafeta is supportive.<br />
“This programme aligns<br />
closely with the vision for the<br />
Ōtakaro Avon River Corridor as<br />
‘a place of learning and discovery<br />
where traditional knowledge,<br />
science and technology meet<br />
and the objective’s to create a<br />
restored habitat and establish a<br />
world-leading, living laboratory.”<br />

GREAT food<br />
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />
Your fresh food people<br />
SALMON WITH<br />
MUSHROOMS, BACON AND<br />
OYSTER SAUCE<br />
Ingredients<br />
ROASTED SPICED PUMPKIN<br />
WITH CANDIED CARROTS<br />
AND YOGHURT DRESSING<br />
Ingredients<br />
500g boneless salmon fillets, up<br />
to 600g<br />
4 slices smokey bacon<br />
250g meadow mushrooms<br />
2 cloves crushed garlic<br />
2 Tbsp oyster sauce<br />
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped<br />
1 nutmeg, freshly grated<br />
1 to serve spinach, or a fresh<br />
spinach salad<br />
Directions<br />
Heat the grill to high.<br />
Lay the salmon on a shallow<br />
baking tray, season with<br />
freshly ground black pepper<br />
and top with two of the bacon<br />
slices.<br />
Place under the grill and grill<br />
for about 8min.<br />
The salmon should be slightly<br />
under cooked in the middle<br />
– remember it does keep on<br />
cooking a little after being<br />
removed from the heat source.<br />
Meanwhile, dice the remaining<br />
bacon slices and place in a frying<br />
pan over a high heat and pan-fry<br />
until crisp.<br />
Add the mushrooms and panfry<br />
until golden.<br />
Reduce the heat to medium,<br />
add the garlic and pan-fry for a<br />
further 30sec.<br />
In a small bowl, combine the<br />
oyster sauce with ¼ cup of hot<br />
water.<br />
Pour into the frying pan and<br />
blend well, stir through the<br />
parsley.<br />
Remove the salmon from the<br />
grill, remove the bacon and place<br />
on a warmed serving platter.<br />
Pour over the mushroom sauce<br />
and grate over a little nutmeg.<br />
Serve with wilted spinach or a<br />
fresh spinach salad.<br />

greens<br />
½ cup pumpkin seeds, roasted<br />
Dressing<br />
½ cup plain unsweetened<br />
yoghurt<br />
¼ cup chopped fresh herbs<br />
1 Tbsp lemon juice<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat an oven to 180 deg C.<br />
Line a roasting tin with baking<br />
paper.<br />
In a small bowl combine<br />
cumin, coriander, turmeric and<br />
chilli flakes. Place pumpkin on<br />
baking paper and sprinkle over<br />
the spices and oil. Massage into<br />
the pumpkin. Bake for 30min<br />
until cooked.<br />
Melt butter in a flying pan.<br />
Add carrots and cook for 5min<br />
until soft. Add zest and sugar<br />
and continue to cook for 5min<br />
until sticky. Add vinegar, salt and<br />
pepper.<br />
Mix yoghurt, herbs, juice and<br />
salt and pepper in a small bowl.<br />

Children reflect on quake with river of flowers<br />
A ‘RIVER of flowers’ was<br />
created by Queenspark School<br />
pupils and families to mark<br />
the seventh anniversary of the<br />
Canterbury earthquakes.<br />
Pupils wrote reflective<br />
messages along with laying of<br />
flowers.<br />
“It is an opportunity to come<br />
together as a school community<br />
and reflect how far we have<br />
come since the earthquakes,”<br />
said Queenspark School spokeswoman<br />
Rebecca Taylor.<br />
“It creates a place to remember<br />
the 185 people who lost their<br />
lives and also thinking about the<br />
first responders, the emergency<br />
services and the people of Canterbury<br />
who helped others in<br />
need,” she said.<br />
FLOWERS: Elouise, 6, with<br />
her contribution to the ‘river<br />
of flowers’.<br />

NEW BRIGHTON is on the<br />
hunt for front rowers to join their<br />
ranks and help push for another<br />
title this year.<br />
After beating Sumner 19-16<br />
in the division one plate final in<br />
July, the team wants to keep its<br />
winning ways.<br />
Division one coach Scott<br />
Pawson said their No 1 prop<br />
Carisbrook To’omalatai’s visa has<br />
expired so he has headed back to<br />
Samoa and Connor Pokoati has<br />
gone to Europe to work. Hooker<br />
Feleti Katitu’u has signed with<br />
the Western Force in the new Indo-Pacific<br />
Rugby Championship<br />
which billionaire mining magnate<br />
Andrew Forrest is trying to<br />
set up after the Perth-based club<br />

Julia Harrison have been selected in two New Zealand archery teams to compete overseas.<br />
society’s president.<br />
It is the first time Tucker has<br />
qualified for the World Cup. She<br />
made the cut at a tournament in<br />
Rotorua earlier this month.<br />
WANTED: Former New<br />
Brighton captain Mitch Alcock<br />
with the Hawkins Trophy<br />
after their victory in 2013. The<br />
division one side is trying to<br />
recruit front rowers to have a<br />
crack at the title this year.<br />
“It is pretty awesome. Always<br />
wanted to do it, I’m really quite<br />
stoked about it,” she said.<br />
She has also qualified for the<br />
Oceania championships in New<br />
Caledonia from July 9-13.<br />
North Canterbury’s Rebecca<br />
Jones and Ellesmere’s Ryley<br />
Griffiths have also been named<br />
in the transtasman team.<br />
was dropped from Super Rugby.<br />
“Oli Jager is also in the Crusaders<br />
environment as well, so we have<br />
a couple left but we need more as<br />
it is quite a specialised position,”<br />
Pawson said.<br />
Rugby development officer<br />
Roddy Butt said it is quite easy to<br />
find loose forwards and backs but<br />
the front row is a bit of a struggle.<br />
“We have a couple at the moment<br />
but we want to boost our<br />
stocks across all the grades . . .<br />
they [props] seem to be the hardest<br />
to find,” he said.<br />
New Brighton is not looking<br />
for the next Joe Moody, although<br />

“Someone that can hold up a<br />
corner will do,” he said. The club<br />
has put the call out in a Facebook<br />
post: “Championship titles and<br />
good props go hand-in-hand and<br />
we are after both.”<br />
They have a few hookers in the<br />
grades, but more would be handy,<br />
Butt said.<br />
New Brighton is also entering<br />
under-16 and under-19 teams.<br />
The latter will join a new competition<br />
started by the Canterbury<br />
Rugby Football Union to give<br />
school leavers an extra option<br />
rather than just colts rugby.<br />

6 car garaging… will be a car enthusiasts dream!<br />
9 Elmwood Drive, Prebbleton<br />
Auction: Wednesday, 21st March <strong>2018</strong>, 2pm<br />
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 lounges | 2 Dining rooms | 6 Garages | Land area 1204m2 | Listing ID: HR4834<br />
Situated amongst some of Prebbleton’s<br />
finest properties, 9 Elmwood Drive, has<br />
come to the market for the very first<br />
time. This sprawling home is as unique<br />
as it is special with 4 double bedrooms, 2<br />
bathrooms, media room, office, formal<br />
dining, formal living and massive garaging<br />
on a 1204m2 section. Whilst decorative and<br />
opulent in its design, the owners wanted<br />
to create an authentic home where their<br />
family could simply relax, enjoy and soak<br />
in the peace and tranquillity of the land<br />
and location. If you have ever considered<br />
a property with large garaging you’ll know<br />
that very rarely does such an opportunity<br />
like this present itself. Whether you<br />
are a motor enthusiast, a tradesman,<br />
hobbyist, work from home, or just have<br />
the requirement for expansive garaging,<br />
this address is a must to inspect! Once this<br />
property has been sold, there are no others<br />
to replace it. With instructions to sell on or<br />
before auction day, what are you prepared<br />
to pay?<br />
Auction date: Wednesday 21st March,<br />
2pm at Russley Golf Club, 428 Memorial<br />
