raises
$15,000
for family
of sick child
• By Sophie Cornish
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.

from the editor’s desk
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
(page 1 and 12) at the Maadi Cup. A triumph over adversity.

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

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.

Travis Rd work to prepare for QE II facilities
• By Sophie Cornish
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.

“A lot of those people don’t

Connor was able to send a

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.

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

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

Waitakiri, Linwood Ave pupils
show the future of gardening
• By Sophie Cornish
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.

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

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.

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.

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 |
