THE CLOUD of uncertainty
over the future of Denton Park
has cleared, but uncertainty
still lingers over a multi-million
dollar community facility in
Hornby.
Denton Park supporters
are “ecstatic” over the city
council hearing panel
recommendation to not use
the park for a community
facility.
Save Denton Park treasurer
Ross Houliston said he was
pleased that the panel listened
to residents and hoped this was
not the end for the $35.7 million
customer service, library,
recreation and sports facility
proposed for Hornby.

Fears
Yaldhurst
quarry
decision
sets a
precedent
• By Anan Zaki
TEMPLETON RESIDENTS fear
they could be next following the
approval of a quarry expansion in
Yaldhurst last week.
Quarrying company Road
Metals was given permission
by Environment Canterbury to
increase the size of its Yaldhurst
operations, which meant it can
quarry land 100m from houses.
Templeton Residents Association
chairman Garry Kilday labelled
the decision as “ridiculous
and shocking.”
He and other residents have
been campaigning against a
proposed quarry in the area by
Fulton Hogan.
Mr Kilday also expressed shock
over how the Canterbury District
Health Board’s advice over the
quarry was limited to a single
paragraph on a 54-page report.
“It just flies in the face of common
sense.
“They [ECan] completely ignored
the advice from the district
health board. I don’t understand
how they are getting away with
it,” he said.

PEOPLE POWER has prevailed over the
long-running mega centre complex in
Hornby.
But the big question now is, where will
it go?
A city council hearings panel yesterday rejected Denton Park
as the site of the planned $35.7 million complex (see pages 1, 3).
There were more public submissions on the issue than the
Cathedral and the decision went the way of the majority. That’s
democracy at its best.
A mega centre is needed in the booming western suburbs and
Kyle Park looks like being the next location off the rank.
Not so democratic was the Yaldhurst quarry decision (see
page 1).
It doesn’t augur well for Templeton residents who are in the
early stages of what will be a long battle over a quarry.

Mega centre unlikely at Denton park
•From page 1
Mr Houliston hoped a new
facility could be built on Kyle
Park.
“It [Kyle Park] does have issues
with contaminated land, a fair
bit of the eastern end [of the
park] is not contaminated.
“I believe Kyle Park should be
remediated. Asbestos has also
been found on the surface so the
whole piece of ground needs to
be done up,” Mr Houliston said.
Steps should also be taken to
protect Denton Park “forever”,
he said.
The year-long battle took a
personal toll, Mr Houliston said.
“It does physically drain you.
I’ve got a box of papers probably
around four inches deep of
research that’s been done,” he
said.
Save Denton Park chairman
Mark Peters wasn’t present at
the hearing but watched a live
stream of the event.
He said the group was
“completely” in support of
having a similar facility in
Hornby. “Denton Park has never
been the right place to put it,” Mr
Peters said.
He also agreed Kyle Park was
a potential location for a new
facility but also suggested the
Sockburn School site, once the

school completed its planned
move to Wigram Skies.
Greater Hornby Residents
Association chairman Marc Duff
said a future facility was a major
“concern” for the association.
“We’re still desperate to get
that [swimming] pool in Hornby
and now it’s a matter of us
working with the residents and
the council staff and ensure we
get them,” Mr Duff said.
The hearings panel
recommendation not to use
Denton Park was made to the
Haslwell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board, which would
make the final decision.
The proposed facility drew
immense opposition from
residents after the city council
voted in favour of it going on
Denton Park in August last
year.
Hearings panel chairwoman,
city councillor Sara Templeton,
said going through more than
1400 submissions showed that
there was a “strong desire” from
the community to keep the park
for recreation purposes only.
“The main concerns we
have are around the traffic
issues in the area – this area of
Hornby is already at capacity,
and like many submitters,
we’re concerned that any
new development in Denton
Park would only increase the
congestion,” Ms Templeton said.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board chairman
Mike Mora said a date is yet to
be set for a decision on the park’s
future.

Your Local Views
Long Term Plan issues raised in submissions
Riccarton
Ward
councillor
Vicki Buck
shares her
thoughts
on the Long
Term Plan
submissions
FOR THE last three weeks, we’ve
been reading and listening to a
lot of submissions on the Long
Term Plan, which is basically
the plan for how the city council
spends your money.
We’ve suggested where we
might spend it and a lot of people
have raised a lot of issues.
A big one has been the stadium
– which has brought in submissions
both ways. Many people
have asked to bring forward the
major cycleway routes ahead of

among submissions on the Long Term Plan.
where they have been pushed
back to in the draft Long Term
Plan.
There has been a lot of emphasis
on repairing streets and making
sure flooding and stormwater
is prioritised. People want their
neighbourhood looking and feeling
repaired.
Quite a lot of people have
talked on housing and the importance
of people in the community
having houses and how
basic a right that is. Many have
asked that the city council build
more social houses so the number
is back to at least as many as
there were pre-quake.
Others have told us of the pressure
that rates create, especially
for those on limited incomes.
And we’ve had differing views
too on the idea of a fuel tax to
reduce the need for rates.
There’s been an incredible
diversity of views. So asking for
your views doesn’t necessarily
provide easy answers to the key
issues because a diverse community
has diverse views and we’ve
heard those.
The Government’s go-ahead
for the capital acceleration fund
in the Budget provides some
opportunities to do some things
that may have been impossible
earlier and focuses on the stadium,
or multi-use arena, and
the red zone, as well as gaps in
the horizontal infrastructure.
It’s been a huge privilege being
able to listen to people and read
their thoughts and feelings. It’s
one of the privileges of being on
the city council, and your submissions
really do matter.

Chef swaps five-star dining for charity
• By Anan Zaki
BEFORE MOVING to Halswell,
chef Stefan Freuding was living
big, cooking at various five-star
kitchens in Europe and the
Middle East.
Originally from Germany, Mr
Freuding moved to New Zealand
for work six years ago, initially
in Wellington, before settling
in Christchurch three
years ago.
But now the days of fine
dining are behind him. He
has instead opted to work
as a head chef at Can Do
Catering, a charitable business
owned by the Laura
Fergusson Trust, which
employs people with physical
disabilities.
Mr Freuding said leaving
behind cooking in hotels and
restaurants was easy.
Supervising his new team
made up of physically challenged
people, was more rewarding, he
said.
“It’s probably the best job I’ve
Kathryn
Jones
had so far in my life. They’re just
so friendly, they help each other,
people will come to you and try
to do whatever they can,” Mr
Freuding said.
His team of eight works hard
and makes “top-quality” food,
he said.
“They are great, but obviously
some people forget instructions
5min later, but they
try very hard,” Mr Freuding
said.
The food they make
depends on what clients
order and his team could
produce almost anything,
he said.
Mr Freuding said some
people ask why he took up
full-time charity work. “I made
more money before, but money
is not that important,” he said.
“Most of my friends who are
chefs, ask why I do it, when you
actually tell them what you do
they understand it,” he said.
Laura Fergusson Trust chief
executive Kathryn Jones said the
trust was delighted to have Mr
Freuding on-board and planned
to expand the catering business
to provide permanent employment
to the disabled. “Our
ultimate goal is to provide great
food but also to provide more
employment for people with
physical disabilities,” she said.
“We have to produce a really
good product but our whole
mission is around providing
more employment for people
who ordinarily wouldn’t have
employment,” she said.
Can Do Catering currently
employ 10 staff all together,
eight of whom have physical
disabilities, Mrs Jones said. With
Mr Freuding joining the team,
she believed the business would
continue to grow.
“It’s already great, but it’s going
to get even better. And then we’re
going to be probably one of the
largest employers of people with
significant physical disabilities
in the South Island,” Mrs Jones
said.

Empowering pageant
gives bullied Hornby
woman back her confidence
• By Anan Zaki
WHEN 22-YEAR-OLD India Rewha
from Hornby became pregnant in
her last year of high school, she was
bullied and shamed for it.
The harassment shattered
the former school
prefect’s confidence and
she did not want to leave

“I don’t want other young mums to

After she interviewed to be part of

Rewha thought she would
not make the finals in October,
saying it felt amazing
to take part.
She is now preparing to
take part in the pageant
– but the competitions in
Miss Five Crowns’ are a bit
different from most.
“For example, most pageants
would have a swim

Mr Irving said.
But banning the show
was not the answer, he said.

“The job itself is quite a

“The print also had a matte

Water tower back
to original colour
• By Anan Zaki
ADDINGTON’S HISTORIC
water tower is sporting its
original colour scheme for the
first time in decades.
The 21.9m structure at Tower
Junction was damaged in the
earthquakes but has recently
been repaired, strengthened and
given a fresh coat of paint.
“In recent times the tower has
been painted either grey or black
but we knew that when it was
originally built in 1883 it was
painted in Victorian colours,’’
says city council Heritage Programme
manager Richie Moyle.
“Working out what those
Victorian colours were was not
an easy task as we only had black
and white photos of the tower,
but we finally got the information
that we needed to allow us
to replicate the original colour
scheme,” Mr Moyle said.
He said he was thrilled to restore
the landmark to its former
glory and had already received
positive feedback from the
community regarding the new
colour.
“How the tower looks now is
pretty much how it would have
looked when it was first built to
supply water for Addington’s
railway workshops,’’ Mr Moyle
said.
The Addington water tower
was designed by Peter Ellis, the
then chief draughtsman for the
Railways Department, and was
built using prison labour.
The octagonal-shaped tower
sits on a slight lean as it was built
on a base of quicksand and clay
– it sunk 22cm during construction.
The city council said it carried
the highest possible Historic
Places rating because it was the
first reinforced concrete water
tower built in the world.

Precedent fears over
expansion of quarry
•From page 1
Anti-quarry campaigner
Simon Moore said he was
scared that a precedent
had been set.
“They [CDHB] are the
people who know how
people are affected by this
because they can see them.
“It scares the hell out of
me that it’s inevitable that
it’s going to happen out
here because of the rubber
stamping that’s going on
by ECan particularly,” Mr
Moore said.
He said his stance did
not mean he was against
quarrying. “Obviously
we need quarries if we’re
going to have roads.
But we don’t need them in
people’s backyards,” Mr
Moore said.
He said he felt sorry for
Yaldhurst residents who
would be impacted by the
decision.

Villa students take in the old world
SCHOOLS
LEARNING HOLIDAY:
Students from Villa Maria
College and Shirley Boys’
High School visiting the
Colesseum in Rome.
STUDENTS FROM Villa Maria
College have just come back from
a European adventure over the
holidays.
The year 12 and 13 students
travelled to Greece and Italy with
students from Shirley Boys’ High
School as part of their classics
tour.
The tour began in Athens,
Greece, and went to classical
sites including the buildings on
the Acropolis, the Temple of
Hephaestus, and the old Greek
Agora.
“The traditional Greek dancing
night was very entertaining,
as was witnessing the students
haggling in the Plaka market
area. From Athens we went south
to the Peloponnese, and visited
the towns of Corinth, Nafplio,
Sparta, Mystras and Olympia,”
Villa Maria teacher in charge of
classical studies, Simone Bailey,
said.
From Greece, the group travelled
to Italy, basing themselves
in Sorrento.
The students, along with
the parents and teachers accompanying
the group, visited
the preserved city of Pompeii, a
UNESCO world heritage site, to
experience how the Romans lived
during the first century.
In Rome, the group visited
many different classical sites,
including the Colosseum, Roman
Forum, Ara Pacis Augustae, Trajan’s
Column, and the Pantheon.
“A visit to the Vatican museums,
the Sistine Chapel and
St Peter’s Basilica was an aweinspiring
time for students,” said
Miss Bailey.
A “highlight” of the trip was
being part of the papal general
audience in St Peter’s Square, she
said.
“As a Catholic school, it was
an amazing opportunity for
students to see and listen to
the pope, and to see him on his
famous pope-mobile. He spoke
of peace and unity in the world,
and blessed us and our families,”
Miss Bailey said.
The occasion would be treasured
by the students for a long
time, she said.
Call to improve cycle safety on Memorial Avenue
• By Sophie Cornish
A CALL has been made to
improve cycle safety on Memorial
Ave including extending cycle
lanes and changes to parking
management.
In a city council Long Term
Plan 2018-2028 submission last
week, the Commodore Hotel
expressed its interest in supporting
an increase in cyclists using
Memorial Ave, however, it said
cyclists often have to compete
with parked cars for space in the
corridor.
“This pushes cyclists out into
the traffic lane encroaching into
motorist’s space and creates an
unsafe environment for all,”
said the submission, presented
by general manager Michael
Patterson.
Currently on-street parking on
Memorial Ave is not subject to
time restrictions or parking fees.
The hotel is requesting parking
restrictions be applied to reduce
all-day parking near the airport
and that ideas around parking
clearways during peak hours and
shared paths be considered.
“The hotel has an interest in
safer cycle access for it’s employees,
tourist opportunities with
e-bikes, families that regularly
cycle along this route and as a
organisation with a strong desire
to see more people safely cycling
on a comprehensive cycle network
in Christchurch,” said the
submission.
The draft LTP currently
proposes a $206m investment
in the Major Cycleways Routes,
however, none of these routes
provide a direct link between the
Christchurch International Airport
and the central city, along
Memorial Ave.
Mr Patterson said along with
key attractors at each end of the
route (the airport and central
city), there are many institutions
that would benefit from improved
cycle provisions including Burnside
Park, Burnside High School,
Christ The King Catholic School,
Burnside Primary School, as well
as thousands of residents.
It acknowledged there are
sections where parking removal
would conflict with other community
facilities, such as sports
facilities at Burnside Park.
In this location, a shared path
facility on the footpath could be
considered.
Christchurch Airport
development and compliance
manager Felicity Blackmore
supports the submission and said
currently cycling to the airport
now is only safe if you are an
“expert cyclist.”
“You have to be willing to take
your life into your hands, most
days, as a person who does this
every day. The only way to get
there is by driving your car essentially,”
she said.
SPACE NEEDED: A motorist driving on Memorial Ave crosses
the centre-line to give the cyclist enough room.

Surfers pay tribute to Rangi in paddle out
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A PADDLE out to honour a well -
-known surfer who passed away
after a short battle with cancer
was held on Saturday.
Families, friends and fellow
surfers gathered at the north
ramp near the New Brighton
Pier to remember Rangimaria
(Rangi) Adrian Te Otimi King,
42, who died from liver cancer
on May 4.
Described as an “outstanding
surfer” and a “New Brighton
legend”, King was a professional
surfer whose career took off in
the late 1980s. He was a member
of the New Zealand scholastics
team and his career highlights
included beating former professional
surfer Martin Potter.
King was competing at the
Konica all stars skin contest
at Sandon Point, Wollongong,
when he beat Potter in the early
1990s.
King narrowly came second to
Australian surfer Mark Occhilupo
in the Konica contest.
He began surfing at age 11
after volunteers, including his
father Wally, helped start a
surfing programme as part of
St Ambrose Anglican Church’s
drop-in centre.
Faith Family Fellowship
REMEMBERED: Well-known surfer Rangimaria King was honoured with a paddle out by families, friends and fellow surfers on
Saturday.
PHOTOS: www.surferswall.com
Aranui soon found out the group
was interested in surfing and donated
their old surfboards from
the 1940s.
It wasn’t long before King
“caught the bug”. He took just
three weeks to pick up surfing
while the rest of the group took
about 18 months.
His sister Nga Anderson said
he would borrow other people’s
surfboards and they would laugh
at him until they saw him surf.
“That was when they had different
respect for him,” she said.
EXIT Surf Shop owner Tristan
Bennett said no one had heard
of him before he competed in a
Canterbury scholastic surfing
competition when he was 13 and
“blew everyone away”.
“I have got people who would
come into the surf shop and
say ‘I have just been down at
Brighton; there is a kid out there
destroying it’,” he said.
Photographer Warren Hawke,
who travelled with King for
photoshoots over a period of two
to three years, said he had an
uncanny natural surfing ability.
He said at the beginning of his
career, King started to win contests
on surfboards which were
not even up to high performance
level at the time.
He was quickly picked up as a
professional and sponsored by
the Exit Surf Shop, surf clothing
and board company O’Neill,
and POTTZ Surfboards, among
others.
King’s pro career lasted
more than 10 years into his early
20s.
After he stopped surfing
professionally, he continued to
teach surfing in New Brighton.

Close friend Sam Johnston,
who started out surfing with
King, said he was unique in
and out of the water, a talented
guitarist and good at any sport
he played.
Another friend Haydo Brain
said King was one of the most
influential surfers for him
growing up, and one of New
Zealand’s best, fastest and most
progressive board riders during
and after his pro carreer.
Hundreds turned out for
King’s funeral at Clareville Cemetery,

From one Coastal to another for Dabner
• By Jacob Page
COASTAL SPIRIT midfielder
Lauren Dabner may be chasing
her football dream halfway
round the world, but her heart
belongs in Christchurch.
The former Riccarton High
School student is enjoying her
off-season by playing for the
Coastal premier women’s team,
safe in the knowledge she still
has more to prove in the United
States.
The 22-year-old is set to play
for Coastal Carolina University
from July after leaving Texas
Tech.
The exercise science major said
her first year of a scholarship in
Texas was tough on many levels
but the struggles were worth it.
“I certainly had thoughts about
not continuing but I’m so glad
that I got through that first year
because it’s been so worth it,” she
said.
“It’s a combination of a lot
of things – you’re a long way
from home, in unfamiliar
surroundings playing in a new
league.”
The former under-17 New
Zealand representative has also
been part of a World Cup bid.
Living abroad and playing
women’s football in a global
stronghold has had its
challenges.
“The game is more physical
(in the US); the standard is very
high,” she said.
Coastal Carolina University
is in NCAA division one and
Dabner is motivated to put her
stamp on things.
“They’re a young team who
have finished runner-up in their
conference the past two seasons
so to get the that top finish
would be great.”
Dabner said she was always
excited to come home and play
for Coastal Spirit.

MIDFIELD ACE: Lauren
Dabner hopes to win her

college team this year.

“I’ve been with them for seven
seasons and they’ve been very
supportive with me chasing
this dream and allowing me to
come home and play when I’m
available.”
Dabner has put her New
Zealand international career
on hold until her studies and
scholarship are complete.
“If you want to be part of
that set up you have to be in
Auckland and right now I’m
committed to my studies and
helping my team reach their
goals.
“I’m still young enough that I
can come back, too, when things
change.”
Right now, Dabner wants to
help her two Coastal teams earn
victories.

Photo finish for racing’s ‘lucky charm’
SPORTS
• By Jacob Page
AFTER 60 years of covering
horse racing in Canterbury,
photographer Colin Berry has
retired – sort of.
The 81-year-old, who lives in
Hornby, has been a regular sight
at Canterbury race meetings,
especially Riccarton Park gallops
and Addington trots, since the
late 1950s.
He has been photographing
winning horses, delighted
trainers, drivers and jockeys, and
ecstatic race owners for most of
his adult life – and says he will
miss it.
“A few years ago I had a double
hip replacement and I feel like
I’ve been slowing down since,”
he said.
“It’s always been great to photograph
happy people.
“A lot of owners or trainers
would come up to me early in the
night and say to me ‘I’m looking
forward to seeing you after
my race’ as if I was their lucky
charm.”
Born and bred in Christchurch,
Mr Berry began his career
during a three-month period of
compulsory military training
near the Ohakea Air Force Base
in Palmerston North.
He became a photographer’s
assistant at Addington Raceway
in 1956 doing photo finishes, and
the rest as they say is history.
​As well as racing shots, he also
did horse breeding photography.
I won’t miss the cold of the
winter night meetings but I’ve
just loved the camaraderie that
you have from working in the
industry,” Mr Berry said.
“There was a lot of mixed emotions
on the night but my son
Ajay has taken over for me and
he’s just fantastic.
“I’ll just be the messenger boy
now, delving the odd photo and
doing odd jobs in the office.”
Mr Berry said he remembers
covering the Addington Raceway
grandstand fire in 1961 as one
of New Zealand’s best standard
bred horses, Cardigan Bay, led a
race from start to finish,
He said Christian Cullen remained
one of his favourite horses,
not only for his dominance
on the track, but also because of
his physical make up.
“He’d be one of the best I’ve
seen, he was just so well put
together physically and a joy to
photograph,” Mr Berry said. “It’s
very hard to compare horses
from different eras, though.”
Mr Berry said technology advancement
has made the biggest
difference in race photography
over time.
“Back in the day, to try to get

a photo of a horse with all four
of its feet off the ground while
warming up was a real skill,” he
said.
“I’d listen from the beat and
the pace of the hooves . . . now
you can snaps 14 photos off in
1sec.
“That happiness of nailing the
perfect shot when you only had
one shot at it back in the day is
replaced by frustration if you
don’t get it these days with the
quality cameras.”
Knights wear pink on the league field to stop bullying
• By Jacob Page
THE RICCARTON Knights
rugby league club continues to
lead the way when it comes to
anti-bullying.
The club has had a fortnight
of their teams sporting pink apparel
in a message of solidarity
against bullying.
All teams have worn pink over
the past two weekends, with
Pink Shirt Day last Friday.
Riccarton was the first rugby
league club in the country to
tackle the issue head-on two
years ago, and now even the
Warriors will wear pink.
Club volunteer Renee Barclay
said the club is thrilled with the
response it has received.
“As a club we believe the antibullying
message is really important
for our entire community,
but especially within sport where
the line can be crossed from banter
to unacceptable abuse,” she
said. “We would like people to
think twice before they speak –
words can have a powerful effect.
We’re sure children, coaches,
players and referees appreciate
encouragement rather than putdowns,
and it would be great to
see our rugby league community
breaking stigmas by lifting up
and supporting our wider community.
“We would love to see rugby
league in Canterbury making
a positive impact and see more
people keen to join our code.”
The club ran a pink disco on
Saturday and has sold candy
floss on the sidelines.
SUPPORT: The Riccarton
Knights 14s team show their
support for PInk Shirt Day
by wearing pink socks and
wristbands.
“Our club is taking a close look
at our own backyard, identifying
our strengths and weaknesses,
and where we can improve and
take care of our own Knights’
whanau,” Ms Barclay explains.
“We want to see both mentally
and physically fit and healthy
members at our club,” she said.
“This is our second year supporting
Pink Shirt Day and we
are already looking ahead to
next year. We are hopeful that
other clubs identify this as an
important message, too, and link
arms with us and join the antibullying
movement.”

section of material. Country, Celtic,
classic Rock, Pop, Rock n Roll, with
a few one hit wonders thrown in for
good measure. Catch them this
Saturday. 7pm start.
And on Friday night there’s Super
Rugby action live with Crusaders v
Hurricanes from 7.35pm.
The Club Bistro has a tasty new
winter menu. With Mains priced
from as little as $14 through to $24,
the selection is affordable and
excellent value. The Bistro is open
Thursday, Friday and Saturday from
5pm to 8pm.
There’s also plenty of easy access,
