“Medal-wise, we have won

Community 

raises 

$15,000 

for family 

of sick child 


A SOUTH New Brighton boy who 

was left unable to blink, swallow, 

move or talk as a result of a brain 

tumour has had around $15,000 

fundraised for him in an art auction 

on Friday night. 

Connor Duncan-Caley, 8, was 

diagnosed with the tumour last 

June and the ‘Jedi’s New Hope’ art 

auction was organised by the community 

to fundraise for him and his 

family. 

His father, Mark, recently lost his 

job when the company went into 

liquidation, and the earthquakedamaged 

house they brought ‘as is, 

where is’ is now subject to insurance 

issues. 

More than 160 guests attended 

the event where 78 donated pieces 

of artwork were auctioned off on 

Friday at Fiksate Gallery in New 

Brighton Mall. 

Ten pieces went to live auction 

and the rest were sold through silent 

auction. 

Auction organiser Maureen Taane 

said they are “super stoked” and 

“delighted” with how the event 

went. 

“We couldn’t have wish for a 

better night, it was a wonderful, 

love-filled beautiful community 

event,” she said. Mr Duncan-Caley 

said his family were blown away by 

the auction.

THERE’S BEEN a huge amount of interest 

over the plight of the Duncan-Caley 

family from South Brighton since we ran 

our article earlier this month. 

They’ve been dealt a number of very 

poor hands – an ill child, dad made redundant 

and ongoing earthquake repair issues on their house. 

But the community has rallied as all good communities do 

and an art auction on Friday night raised $15,000 for them (see 

page 1). 

By all accounts it was a great night, and the organisers and 

those who donated art should be feeling pretty good about 

themselves. 

Top marks too to Shirley Boys’ High School rowing crews

Jones to avoid by-election if she quits

Old Skellerup site now metal graveyard 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

THE WOOLSTON site where the 

Skellerup factory operated for a 

century is being used by a scrap 

metal company. 

National Steel is operating 

out of the Garlands Rd site with 

crushed cars piled up on the site. 

Rubber goods maker Skellerup 

moved out in 2016 to a new $60 

million premises in Wigram. 

It had operated at the Woolston 

site for a century. But its buildings 

were damaged in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake, and the decision 

was made to move to a new 

factory in Wigram. 

The Woolston site was sold 

‘as is where is’. Auckland-based 

National Steel buys scrap metal, 

processes and sorts it, before 

selling it on. 

Linwood Ward city councillor 

Yani Johanson said it stared 

operating a couple of weeks 

ago. 

He said there had been some 

concern within the community 

about the potential noise the site 

would generate. 

But he said it was an industrial 

area, so there would likely be few 

restrictions. 

NEW USE: Crushed cars have been stacked up on the former Skellerup factory site (left) in Woolston, which is now being used 

by a scrap metal company.

Readers respond to an 

article about the need for 

a 50m pool at the new QE II 

facility 

Graham Pownceby – I 

heard that one of the original 

pools was quite salvageable, so 

why didn’t we retain that as an 

outdoor pool for all these years? 

Becky Wilson – The floor of 

the 25m one they’re building can 

be lifted to alter water depth . . . 

surely that money would be better 

spent on a 50m pool? 

Dan Vann – Pretty sure the 

current plan has a very expensive 

adjustable floor. Spend that 

money on increasing it to 50m 

seems a no-brainer. 

Mia Griffiths – No-brainer, 

50m needed now, new facility 

should have been replaced with 

what we had. 

Paul Hewett – The old QE II 

was overcrowded most weekends, 

what’s it going to be like with this 

new shrunk version? 

Vanessa Gibson – Do it, we 

need a 50m pool. 

Linda O’Brien – Good

50m would have been a 

given.

Travis Rd work to prepare for QE II facilities 


TRANSPORT upgrades, 

including a cycle lane, on Travis 

Rd are being undertaken to 

accommodate the new QE II 

Sport and Recreation Centre and 

the Shirley Boys and Avonside 

Girls’ High School campus. 

The Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board approved plans 

last week, which aim to support 

the new developments, while 

attempting to minimise road 

congestion. 

An off-road shared path and 

cycle lane will be installed on 

Travis Rd as well as two pedestrian 

islands. Another pedestrian 

island will be put in on Bower 

Ave. 

As a result, 26 parking spaces 

will be lost on the north side of 

Travis Rd and 10 spaces on Bower 

Ave at the entrance to Dick Tayler 

Drive. 

Consultation letters were sent 

to residents who may be affected 

by the changes and others were 

informed by a leaflet drop. 

The design has been devised 

to maximise access to modes of 

transport such as walking and 

cycling. 

The city council’s transport 

education team is planning to 

work with the schools to encourage 

‘sustainable transport habits’ 

which it hopes will minimise the 

effects of overspill parking in the 

surrounding area near the new 

school campus. 

The city council will contribute 

$240,000 to the project for the 

shared path and work on the 

Travis Rd section in front of QE 

II Park. 

The Ministry of Education will 

fund the section along Travis 

Rd in front of the new school 

campus. 

Work is due to start next 

month.

Said Mr Duncan-Caley: “I 

really don’t have a word for it 

– (I’m) really emotional to see 

how the community has come 

together.” 

“A lot of those people don’t 

know us and they’ve opened up 

their hearts,” he said. 

Mr Duncan-Caley said Connor 

was also in shock about the 

auction. 

“He’s completely lit up with all 

the support.” 

SMILE: Connor could not attend the auction but created a video to thank his supporters which was shown at 

the event on Friday night in which 78 pieces of art were sold off.

Connor is currently living in 

Auckland at The Wilson Centre, 

a rehabilitation facility. 

The money raised from the 

auction will fund the family’s life 

going forward. 

While Connor could not 

attend the auction, Mr Duncan- 

Caley did, along with his younger 

sisters Murphy and Madden. 

Both sets of grandparents, 

uncles, aunties and cousins also 

attended the auction. 

Connor was able to send a 

message through video, which 

was played at the event. Ms 

Taane described it as “very moving.” 

The auction was called ‘Jedi’s

obsession with Star Wars.

Casino team takes out 

rescue chopper challenge 

TEAMS FROM businesses 

across the city assembled with 

one mission – to raise money for 

the Westpac rescue helicopters. 

They were challenged to a 

gruelling day of push-ups, an 

obstacle course and a first aid test 

during the Air Rescue Summer 

Crew Challenge. 

The Christchurch Casino team 

took out the title for the second 

year in a row – raising more than 

$12,000 for the charity. 

“The teams left nothing on the 

field this year, it was extremely 

competitive,” Rick Knight, crew 

chief said. 

“It was amazing to see the 

Casino take the cup for the second 

year running; they worked 

together as a team and fought to 

the end.” 

The day started with a goal 

of raising $70,000, which was 

cracked with $70,721.91 raised 

by the 22 competing teams. That 

will fund 14 lifesaving air rescue 

trips. 

WINNER: The 

Christchurch 

Casino team 

raised more 

than $12,000 

for Westpac Air 

Rescue. 

“It really does make a 

difference. It has been a very 

busy time for the crew, 

especially at weekends where 

they can attend back-to-back 

missions,” Air Rescue chief 

executive Christine Prince 

said. 

Christchurch Casino raised 

$12,815, Mortlock McCormack 

Law came in second raising 

$10,479.60, and in third was 

the Commodore Hotel with 

$7070.80. 

AFTER SEVERAL delays, an 

outdoor fitness gym is being 

installed at Burwood Park. 

The project will take about four 

weeks to complete and is located 

next to the children’s playground 

on Cresswell Ave. 

The equipment was sponsored 

by the Dallington Cottage 

Community Trust with support 

from the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board. 

Types of equipment will 

include a cross-trainer, a 

cycle and shoulder wheel, and 

traditional fitness items such as 

parallel and chin-up bars. 

The project will cost about 

$44,000. 

It has been a long time coming,

She hopes the trail will connect

RECYCLING: 

Freida Coll, 

Mayan 

Walker, Millie 

Will and Opal 

Matthews 

are learning 

how different 

types of 

waste can be 

recycled. 

North Beach children 

recycle toothbrushes 

CHILDREN AT North Beach 

Playcentre are learning about 

how toothbrushes can be 

recycled and transformed into 

playground material. 

The children collect yoghurt 

containers, toothbrushes, dental 

floss containers and toothpaste 

tubes as part of TerraCycle’s oral 

care recycling programme, The 

Collective suckies recycling programme 

and the Fonterra pouch 

recycling programme. 

Once collected, the playcentre 

sends the yoghurt pouches and 

oral care waste items to Terra- 

Cycle. They are then shredded, 

cleaned and melted down into 

raw materials to create garden 

beds, park benches and playgrounds. 

A parent behind the activity, 

SCHOOLS 

Julie Donaldson, said the children 

were inspired to recycle to 

reduce waste reaching the ocean 

and harming marine life. 

“One of the children said that 

seeing plastic bags in the ocean 

made them think dolphins will 

eat them and die. This is what 

inspired the kids to pick up 

rubbish, and reduce, reuse and 

recycle what we have,” said Ms 

Donaldson. 

She said the recycling process 

is relatively easy. 

“Our set up is pretty simple 

– kids, parents and visitors can 

drop their waste in the boxes we 

have in the centre. We also 

have posters and collection 

containers on our fence to 

remind the community that 

we’re recycling.” 

Waitakiri, Linwood Ave pupils 

show the future of gardening 


PUPILS FROM Waitakiri 

Primary and Linwood Ave 

School both gained silver awards 

in the fourth annual Oderings 

School Gardens Show. 

The show took place at 

the Woolston Club and was 

organised by the Canterbury 

Horticultural Society. 

Pupils were required to design 

a garden that adhered to the 

theme ‘into the future’. 

“The standard of the 11 

garden exhibits from the 

participating schools was 

extremely high and the judges 

were amazed at their quality,” 

said Canterbury Horticultural 

Society communications officer 

Emma Velde. 

The team from Waitakiri 

created a Futuristic Garden, 

inspired by the school’s 

involvement with the Travis 

Wetland and cleaning up of the 

area. 

Pupils from Linwood Ave 

created an Alienopoly garden, 

which considered a future in 

which aliens take over the earth. 

Waitakiri caretaker and 

project helper Ian Woodward 

said about 30 pupils and four 

teachers were involved in 

the garden, which took three 

months to put together. 

“It was collaborative effort, 

but very kid-focussed,” he said. 

“It’s a lot of work but it’s a 

really good activity, especially to 

pull that many pupils together 

and get them working on one 

thing,” said Mr Woodward. 

Waitakiri received a bronze 

award last year and is planning

Mr Woodward wished more

to do.”

Drag racer following in family’s footsteps 

• By Andrew King 

WINNING national 

championships at more than 

250km/h is in the Henley- 

Minchington blood. 

At Auckland’s Meremere 

Dragway, another trophy was 

added to the family mantelpiece 

when Stuart Henley-Minchington, 

28, won the New Zealand 

nationals modified drag racing 

title with a blistering time of 

8.25sec at 259km/h. 

It also meant he was crowned 

national series champion in the 

modified section for the third 

consecutive year. 

Stuart is following in the 

footsteps of his uncles, Bill and 

Clinton, who together won 

four consecutive national titles 

between 2013-2017 in the funny 

car category. They finished the 

season this year in third. 

His father Owen still races, 

and his sister Hayley, and the rest 

of his family, pitches in to keep 

the team going. 

“It is a little bit surreal,” Stuart 

said about winning the national 

crown. 

“It is been my lifelong dream to 

drive these cars. Now I’m doing 

it and being successful, it is a 

dream come true.” 

Stuart said his love for the 

sport started early, but really 

accelerated when he got in a 

scaled-down dragster when he 

was nine-years-old. 

SMOKING: Stuart Henley-Minchington lights up the wheels at 

Meremere Dragway on his way to a national title. 

“Then we built one in 1998 and 

away I went,” he said. 

“From there I have just been 

moving up classes. Once you figure 

one out, then it is time move 

on to something faster.” 

Waiting for the lights to flash 

green takes all the concentration 

he can muster and he looks to set 

SPORTS 

the best time possible with every 

pass. 

“It is the most insane 

adrenalin rush you possibly 

could have. It becomes an addiction,” 

he said. 

Motorsport is hard on the 

pocket and he said without the 

constant support from his entire 

family and some sponsors, the 

dream would not be possible. 

“We definitely couldn’t do it 

without our sponsors, Trident 

Homes and AutoTrans, and Car 

Aid, who have been helping out 

with the engine, they are awesome,” 

he said. 

Stuart has one race left in the 

local series at Mike Pero Motorsport 

Park on April 8 and he 

said he would like to break the 

record in the A-modified altered 

category which currently stands 

at 8.35sec.

Local plumbers offering 

free checks on clay pipes 

While it is now almost eight years since the 

Christchurch earthquakes, damage to underground 

pipes is still becoming apparent, says 

the team at Laser Plumbing Christchurch 

East, who are based in Ferrymead. 

As they point out, homeowners can 

be completely unaware that they have 

earthquake damage to their clay pipes. 

Properties built before the 1970s are 

most likely to have clay pipes, and 

cracks in the pipes allow tree roots to 

enter and block drains. The damage can 

take some time to become apparent 

but when it does, it is usually fairly 

major, and costly to repair. 

Specialists in drain-laying and plumbing, 

Laser Plumbing are currently offering a 

free check on pipes. This involves a quick look with a 

camera, and if any damage is found they will discuss 

this with the owner. Laser Plumbing are experts in 

dealing with EQC and know how 

to make the process easy. The next 

step is to provide 

a drainage survey 

report to EQC, who 

in most cases, will 

cover the cost of this 

as well as replacing 

the damaged pipes. 

There are some 

conditions, which 

Laser Plumbing will 

discuss with the 

homeowner. 

“We have done hundreds of surveys 

and have been installing a lot of 

replacement PVC pipes over recent 

years,” says Carol McCann, who owns the 

company with her husband Chris Dick. 

“We want to make it easy for people by 

offering the check at no cost, and we 

urge people to get their pipes checked 

sooner rather than later as we do not 

know how long EQC will cover repairs for 

home-owners. Having them replaced will 

avoid serious problems in the future. It’s 

all done with minimum fuss.” 

Located in Tussock Lane, Ferrymead, 

Laser Plumbing services customers right 

across the city. They are very proud of 

their team of qualified tradesmen, who 

carry out plumbing and drainage work 

with care and efficiency. They are the sort 

of guys that you would be happy to have 

working in and around your home, Carol says. 

To make an appointment for your free pipe check,

Confidence 

returns with a 

Lovebite smile 

Dawn, from Pukekohe in Auckland, 

couldn’t be more pleased with her new 

Lovebite dentures, made by internationally 

renowned clinical dental technician, 

Richard Greenlees, which have restored 

the look of her natural smile, and given 

her considerable confidence. 

“When we started the process, Richard 

asked me to bring in some photographs 

of my natural teeth, and put a lot of time 

into recreating the exact look. My new 

dentures are so much better than the old 

sets I’ve had over the last 17 years. I’m 

very happy.” 

Dawn, who is previously from 

Christchurch, flew down from Auckland 

weekly over five weeks for consultations 

with Richard, and found him to be a ‘good 

guy’ to deal with. 

“He is very accommodating and easy 

going. It was also great to deal directly

so natural, real, and a 

little bit aged, not like the 

sparkly white dentures 

everyone else has. 

with the person making my dentures. 

This was a much better process than with 

previous dentures, where I had to pretty 

much go with what I was given whether 

I liked them or not. Richard was very 

patient and is fussy with his work. He 

made my teeth look so natural, real, and 

a little bit aged, not like the sparkly white 

dentures everyone else has.” 

Dawn says the return of her confidence 

is one of the biggest pluses of her new 

Lovebite dentures. 

“Losing your teeth is not a nice thing 

to go through, and can make you feel 

like you’ve lost your personality. My new 

dentures have recreated my natural look 

and brought my confidence right back

A moveable feast that is 

much more than chocolate 

Easter is both the most sombre and 

joyful time in the Christian calendar, 

calling believers to remember 

the crucifixion of Christ and His 

resurrection. Its date changes each 

year, making it a ‘moveable feast.’ The 

Easter story lies at the heart of the 

Christian faith and its importance is 

celebrated with special celebrations. 

But just what does it all mean? 

The week leading up to Easter 

Sunday is Holy Week which starts with 

Palm Sunday, commemorating Jesus’ 

arrival into Jerusalem. It is marked in 

many churches by giving palm fronds, 

or a local equivalent like flax, which 

represents the way He was welcomed 

and revered. 

Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday, 

remembers the Last Supper where the 

first Holy Communion was established 

and is a fundamental feature of many 

Christian services 2,000 years later. 

The day also recognises Jesus’ betrayal, 

arrest and trial and is marked in 

Christian churches by services of footwashing 

and the stripping of alters. 

That is followed by Good Friday, 

the date on which Jesus Christ was 

executed by crucifixion and the 

markings on the hot cross buns we all 

enjoy are representative of that. As well 

as being a public holiday, it is a solemn 

acknowledgement of the horrific death 

that ultimately led to the establishment 

of the Christian faith. Catholics and 

Anglicans alike commemorate the 

events of Good Friday in the Stations 

of the Cross, the church bells are not 

rung and alters remain bare. 

Holy Week concludes with 

Easter Sunday, the most significant 

celebration in the Christian calendar 

and a time to rejoice. It celebrates 

Christ’s resurrection and the triumph 

of good over evil. Christians across 

Christchurch will be attending church 

services and it is the day when arguably 

everyone’s favourite part of Easter – 

chocolate eggs – are given. 

So, when you are enjoying your 

Easter Eggs this year, take some time 

to reflect on the true meaning behind 

Holy Week.

regatta 

•From page 1 

The team qualified for 

the national final in their 

heat. 

“The final was a classic 

North Island v South 

Island showdown,” said 

Wilson-Pyne. 

“We (the under-15 

eight) pushed Hamilton 

Boys, who have been the 

perennial champions of 

that for over the decade. It 

is really a testimony to the 

work of the coaching staff 

and the kids,” said Wilson- 

Pyne. 

“Although our boys fell 

slightly short of winning it, 

they put in a hell of a fight 

and that’s what we are all 

about.” 

The team was made 

up of Lucas MacDonald, 

Cameron Maughan, 

Brodie Barsby, Jack Hearn, 

Cameron McConchie, 

Adam Chapman, Elliot 

Stanley, Matthew Sudlow 

and cox Joel Coleman. 

The under-16 quad 

which won bronze featured 

Scott Shackleton, Cameron 

Maughan, Jack Hearn 

(boat), Matthew Smith and 

cox Joel Coleman. 

Two of the boys 

Cameron and Jack were 

part of the crew who 

narrowly escaped injury 

in January this year, when 

a 30m tree fell on it’s boat 

during training on the 

Avon River. 

The team raced with 

a replacement boat after 

theirs was written-off 

following the incident. 

Wilson-Pyne said the 

boys were thrilled with 

their performance. 

“We have a philosophy 

that when a boat goes 

out there it represents 

everyone in the squad. All 

of the team are thrilled 

that the boys have gotten 

these medals. 

“They have all played 

their part through-out the 

season to get those boats 

where they were at,” he 

said. 

Rowing captain Alex 

Cartwright was also 

selected to trial for a spot 

in a Rowing New Zealand 

South Island development 

team.

A EXCITING showcase of local artworks, 

free workshops, and live music makes up a 

fabulous new event taking place this Easter 

weekend - e Wakaroa Pigeon Bay Art 

Trail. 

While the main exhibition and associated 

events take place at the Pigeon Bay Hall (in 

Banks Peninsula, a little over an hours drive 

from Christchurch), additional artworks 

form an Art Trail with interesting pieces 

installed and featured en route from the 

Summit Road/Pigeon Bay Road bus shelter, 

to Knox Church yard, the Pigeon Bay 

Boating Club, and Wakaroa Point. 

Based on stories shared by the Bay 

Community and utilising materials from the 

Bay wherever possible, these site-specific 

and audience responsive art works seek to 

celebrate the life and stories of the Bay. 

“e trail was inspired by my mum’s 

stories of growing up in Pigeon Bay. She 

always spoke of her childhood as a time of 

formation, of connection and belonging,” 

explained artist and event orgniser, Keren 

Oertly. “I was interested to explore these 

ideas of identity in relation to place. e 

community in the Bay was incredibly 

supportive and generous throughout this 

process – none of this would be possible 

without them.” 

Providing the soundscape are two highly 

respected Canterbury based acts, e Swan 

Sisters (Amiria Grenell & Amy Grace 

delivering their delicate blend of folk, 

country, dreamy pop) and Americana/Blues 

outfit, e Great Depression Blues Band. 

Also included on the programme is a 

presentation, ‘100 Years of Pigeon Bay with 

June Hay’. is special address takes place at 

3pm on Easter Sunday at the Knox Church. 

e Wakaroa Pigeon Bay Art Trail | 

Saturday 31st March to Sunday 1st April |
