ONGOING roadworks are 

continuing to put pressure on 

Richmond businesses, with one 

long -running store deciding it is

End of the road for green grocer 

After more than 20 years of 

supplying fresh produce to the 

eastern suburbs on Stanmore 

Rd, The Green Grocer closed 

it doors for the final time on 

Friday. 

The city council began a full 

reconstruction of North Avon 

Rd in January which has since 

left businesses struggling to 

bring customers into their stores. 

The Green Grocer owner 

Dianne Pratt said she didn’t 

want to go, but because of the 

roadworks the business has 

suffered a “huge decline.” 

“We are around 50 per cent 

down each week and we can’t 

sustain it. It is below break even 

for us,” she said.

Burwood 

Hospital 

bus route 

may stop 

short of 

Brighton 


HOPE IS fading for people who 

catch the bus between New 

Brighton and Burwood Hospital. 

Environment Canterbury has 

prepared an “alternative option” 

in its draft Long Term Plan after 

public opposed its original plan 

to axe six of its lowest performing 

bus routes. 

But a new route combining the 

135 Burwood Hospital and 150 

The Palms bus routes is planned 

to terminate at Taiora: QE II Recreation 

and Sport Centre. 

It means the 135 Burwood Hospital 

route will no longer travel 

into New Brighton. 

Currently the bus service runs 

from Prestons Rd through to Burwood 

Hospital and along Beach 

Rd to Marine Parade. 

The proposed change has been 

met with opposition. New Brighton 

resident Hilary Wilson said 

the planned route change would 

be “terrible” as she always found 

the bus convenient, particularly 

when she had a knee replacement 

at Burwood Hospital.

A WELL deserved accolade for New 

Brighton clubbie James Gaskell. 

He was named coach of the year at the 

recent Canterbury surf lifesaving awards. 

Sports reporter Jacob Page has a chat to 

him on page 10 today. 

Gaskell is the New Brighton club’s surf boat coach and it was 

their success at the nationals that earned him the award. 

New Brighton won the open men’s open short course for the 

second time and the women’s open long course title for the first 

time in club history. 

Gaskell, 40, has been involved with New Brighton for more 

than 25 years and has been an integral part of loosening the 

grip North Island crews have had on surf boat races at the 

nationals.

Bromley’s stinky sites investigated 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

MORE THAN 60 sites in 

Bromley have been investigated 

for potentially causing a stink 

– but none were warranted bad 

enough for action. 

Environment Canterbury and 

the city council have carried out 

an odour investigation project 

in the suburb, which currently 

gets the most 

complaints in 

Christchurch. 

The project’s 

findings are 

being analysed 

and will be used 

Ross Trotter 

to help further 

investigations 

as odour complaints 

continued. 

City council solid waste manager 

Ross Trotter said it 

was created to help provide a 

register of the industrial sites 

in Bromley to assess “potential 

odour risk”. 

Of the 270 sites surveyed, 60 

were noted as being activities 

or industries that could create 

odour. Seventeen of those had 

already been noted as being “at 

risk.” 

“During the survey undertaken, 

three sites’ activities were 

noted for further investigation to 

Environment Canterbury,” Mr 

Trotter said. 

“These activities were reviewed 

by a senior resource management 

officer and no pollution 

event was raised, as he was 

confident there was no further 

concern.” 

Bromley has long had an 

odour problem. 

The city council-owned organics 

processing plant Living Earth 

on Metro Place, which deals 

with the contents of green bins, 

has been the source of most of 

the complaints. 

In 2016, a putrid stench 

wafted over the suburb plaguing 

residents and forcing Bromley 

School to close for two days, 

though the source was never 

determined. 

Christchurch West Melton 

Banks Peninsula zone manager 

Steve Firth said the investigation 

meant they could determine 

the “character” of the different 

odours and how to deal with 

them in the future. 

Since January 1, Bromley has 

had the highest number of odour 

complaints in the city. 

ECan stats show there had

has long had an

with many of

been about 108 reports of odour, 

and 58 odour events. 

An odour event is when complaints 

are received for the same 

location during any 24-hour 

period. 

Fifty-one of the odour events 

were from Metro Place, where 

Living Earth is, three came from 

Senior Place, two from Tanya St, 

and one each from Wickham St 

and Francella Place. 

Mr Firth said of the 16 substantiated 

odour events, many 

were not deemed offensive, while 

the source was unable to be 

found at others.

Luckily there are so many 

ways to connect with each other 

in greater New Brighton. 

Wellbeing New Brighton 

started in 2015 and is a grassroots, 

local, parent-led community

which focuses on running projects 

and activities that promote 

well-being and community 

connectedness. 

Over the past few years, parents 

involved in Wellbeing New

without any changes,” 

he said.

This will be a fun, free treasure

Jones joins school zone battle 

• By Sophie Cornish 

A CALL has been made to the 

minister of education to ensure 

suburbs in east Christchurch are 

no longer tested “to the point of 

breaking.” 

In a letter from the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board 

to Minister Chris Hipkins 

last week, 

chairwoman 

Ali Jones called 

for him to 

reconsider the 

proposal which 

would exclude 

the suburbs of 

Ali Jones 

Richmond and 

Shirley in the 

new enrolment 

zone for Shirley Boys and 

Avonside Girls’ High School. 

The two schools, which will 

relocate to a shared campus 

on QE II Park next year, 

are required to create a new 

enrolment zone. 

The board of trustees led 

consultation in April, based on 

a document with a ‘draft zone’, 

which included the suburbs 

of Burwood, Parklands, New 

Brighton, South Brighton and 

Southshore. 

It excludes currently in-zone 

suburbs Richmond, Shirley,

Vanessa van Hoof, Dallington, are fighting to get their suburbs 

included in the new zone for Shirley Boys and Avonside Girls’ 

High Schools.

Avonside, Dallington and 

Edgeware. 

It was met with public 

outcry from people who felt 

“abandoned” and asked why 

suburbs with no historical 

connection to the schools were 

included, while others were left 

out. 

In the letter, Ms Jones 

said some families who 

chose to remain in the area 

at “considerable hardship” 

are no longer assured of 

enrolment for their children 

and are “frustrated by the lack 

consultation, transparency and 

commitment by the MoE.” 

“The local communities in 

Richmond and Shirley feel 

abandoned following their 

exclusion from the zones 

that will contain the schools 

their children have attended 

and supported pre and postearthquake.” 

“This situation adds to the 

stress and upset for families 

remaining in an area that was 

hard hit by the earthquakes,” 

said the letter. 

Residents have gathered 

more than 1900 signatures 

in an online petition against 

the exclusion as well as 

delivering about 3000 leaflets 

to surrounding areas, alerting 

people to the issue. 

Signs have also been placed on 

fences of suburbs which may be 

excluded saying: ‘Don’t leave our 

kids out in the cold’ and ‘Haven’t 

our kids lost enough in the 

quake already?’ 

The MoE will make the final 

decision and deputy secretary 

sector enablement and support 

Katrina Casey said at this stage, 

no decisions had been made. 

“We are in the process of 

assessing recommendations 

from the two boards, which 

includes feedback from the 

consultation they undertook 

with their communities.” 




Clock tower 

repairs to 

start this week 


REPAIRS ON New Brighton’s 

historic clock tower will begin 

this week. 

Paint is set to be removed 

from around the clock face followed 

by the removal of the face 

itself. 

Earthquake and historical damage 

repairs of the tower will follow 

shortly afterwards. 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said the tower’s 

paint has tested positive for lead 

so it is “imperative” to remove it 

safely before work starts on drilling 

into the concrete for the clock 

face removal. 

It is estimated the repairs will 

be completed by September. 

Structural engineers had started 

investigations about the damage 

the tower sustained while scaffolding 

on the tower has been in 

place since February. 

Mr Rutledge said a concrete 

report had been received but the 

project team and structural engineers 

need time to read and digest 

the information. 

The clock tower is a historic 

landmark in New Brighton with 

its foundation stone laid on December 

14, 1934.

NEW RELEASES 

It won’t happen overnight: Creating 

wealth through New Zealand property 

by Heather Morris 

‘It won’t happen overnight…’ takes you through the process of getting started 

in property investment in New Zealand. Mike Pero and David Weusten step you 

through almost everything a successful property investor needs to know to succeed, 

from the basics of budgeting through to tips on selecting property, exercising due 

diligence and managing the buying process itself. They also cover managing debt 

and cash flow as these are critical elements to successful property management. 

Those who invest in property are often criticised in the media for being greedy, 

self-serving and a blight on the country. Yet without the people looking to create 

wealth for themselves through property investment, and providing the capital to 

house those who can’t or chose not to own their own property, it would be left to 

the government, local bodies or charitable organisations to provide rental housing 

resulting in higher taxes for all New Zealanders. Mike Pero and David Weusten offer 

the essential handbook to equip new property investors and provide reassurance 

to those already in the market. Although it won’t happen overnight with the wisdom 

and experience this book provides you can be assured it will happen! 

Rugby Rebel 

by Christopher Tobin 

Rugby Rebel investigates a sensational accusation made against brilliant All 

Black winger Duncan McGregor that he sold team secrets which cost the Original 

All Blacks their unbeaten record on the famous 1905 tour of Britain, France and 

the United States. What made it worse was that McGregor’s Accusers were some 

of his fellow All Blacks. But has his name been unfairly besmirched? This book 

tells McGregor’s ex¬traordinary and previously untold story. In doing so, it delves 

deeply into an explosive and controversial period in New Zealand rugby history, the 

early 1900s, when ‘shamateurism’ was rife and the sport was split apart by the 

emergence of rugby league. Rugby Rebel shatters myths, offers new insights and 

provides enough information for the reader to decide whether McGregor was hero, 

or as his deractors claimed, villain. 

The Leisure Seeker:

Now a major motion picture starring Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland. 

Ella and John have shared a wonderful life for more than sixty years. Now they’re 

on the run from their doctors and middle-aged children, who just want them to go 

gently into that undignified night of old age. In their trusty camper van, the pair 

embark on a forbidden vacation of rediscovery along Route 66. Though time is 

catching up with them, Ella is determined that together they’ll make it to their final 

destination for one more carefree day together, even if it is their last.

by Lily Collins 

International bestseller - In this groundbreaking debut essay collection,

Instruments and Rules Don’t Apply - is opening a poignant, honest 

conversation about the things young women struggle with: body image, selfconfidence, 

relationships, family, dating and so much more. 

For the first time ever, Lily shares her life and her own deepest secrets, 

proving that every single one of us experiences pain and heartbreak. We all 

understand what it’s like to live in the light and in the dark. For Lily, it’s about 

making it through to the other side, where you love what you see in the mirror 

and where you embrace yourself just as you are. She’s learned that all it takes 

is one person standing up and saying something for everyone else to realise 

they’re not alone. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Lily’s honest voice will 

inspire you to be who you are and say what you feel. It’s time to claim your 

voice! It’s time to live your life unfiltered.

Makeover for ‘eyesore’ 





AN UNTENANTED “eyesore” 

on Stanmore Rd has been given 

a makeover in a bid to help 

improve the commercial sector 

of Richmond.

Mr Purcell said it was “obviously

Stanmore Rd being a main

He said the site was overgrown 

with a lot of bush around the

It comes as Richmond

“These absent landlords are

DISRUPTION: Businesses in North Avon Rd are feeling the 

effects of road works. 

End of the road 

for green grocer 

•From page 1 

While Mrs Pratt and her 

husband Chris will continue 

to sell produce at the Riccarton 

Market on Sundays, she described 

the store their “bread and butter,” 

and were sad to be leaving. 

“We were always a very 

buoyant business and it is just 

like someone has turned the tap 

off,” she said. 

Pegasus Post was told at least 

three businesses are considering 

leaving the area. 

City council’s planning and 

delivery manager Lynette Ellis 

said it is aware the road works 

can impact the community 

which it takes seriously. 

“We are working with the 

contractor in North Avon Rd 

to minimise disruption where 

possible through programming 

of works and ensuring that 

parking within the shopping 

centre remains visible and 

accessible,” she said. 

Richmond Village Book and 

PostCentre business owner Alan 

Spooner said the city council set 

temporary traffic lights across 

the entrance way to his car park 

meaning no one could enter. 

He said the road works 

have had a “drastic affect” on 

businesses with no customers 

coming into his shop, meaning 

no income. 

Mr Spooner said prior to the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake 

Richmond had “good, sound” 

businesses. 

“But being right on the edge of 

the red zone we immediately lost 

at least half of our population,” 

he said. 

He is calling for residents to 

“walk through the door and 

spend money.” 

“They have got to support 

us or they just won’t have local 

businesses,” Mr Spooner said. 

Hibbards Butchery owner 

Steven Joseph said business is 

down by 15 per cent, but is just 

going to have to “battle through 

the tough times.” 

“When I used to work in 

Australia they did road works, 

they at least gave us free 

advertising in the paper . . . that 

would help out quite a lot,” he 

said.

COMING HOME: The QE II Masters will return to the Taiora: QE 

II Recreation and Sport Centre when it opens. 

Swim group to 

return to QE II 


A SWIMMING group holding 

on for “grim death” to survive 

since the earthquakes is 

anticipating its move into the 

new Taiora: QE II Recreation and 

Sport Centre. 

The QE II Masters will return 

to its former swimming pool 

after getting down to as low as 

four members over the past seven 

years. 

The group will celebrate its first 

swim in the pool on Tuesday, 

June 12, following the opening 

over Queen’s Birthday weekend. 

Formed in 1983, the group 

was a “powerhouse” for master’s 

swimming and received great 

support from local surf clubs, 

member Sam Hannifin said. 

When QE II closed after the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake, 

the group had about 50 members. 

The group trained in three 

different sites – moving first to 

the Pioneer Recreation and Sport 

Centre, then Jellie Park Recreation 

and Sports Centre before 

moving to Christ College’s pool. 

By the time it moved to the 

STUDY @ SIT 

CHRISTCHURCH 

Graham Condon Centre in 2012, 

the group had whittled down to 

about five members. 

But Mr Hannifin said the 

group never lost hope it would 

return to QE II. 

Numbers have since grown 

during the group’s time at 

Graham Condon, and when it returns 

to QE II there will be about 

25 members. 

Over the years, the group has 

attracted “great coaches” including 

former QE II swimming 

teacher Rosemary Bishop, who is 

known to many parents as their 

children’s coach, Mr Hannifin 

said. 

Other well-known public figures 

to coach the group includes 

Canterbury District Health 

Board member Jo Kane. 

The current coach is Sammy 

Winward, who up until last 

season swam for national teams, 

specialising in open water events. 

The group is welcoming people 

to come along and try a class 

with no obligation on June 12 at 

8pm. 

Training will be held on Tuesdays 

and Thursdays, 8-9pm.

ONE OF the first lifeguards at 

the old QE II pool is returning to 

its replacement to run a club for 

swimmers aged over 50. 

Willie Pitama, 67, started 

work at QE II pool on February 

9, 1974, a week after the 

Commonwealth Games were 

held at the complex. 

Forty-two years ago he 

founded The QE II 50 Plus and 

Early Bird Club and now he is 

re-establishing it at the $38.6 

million Taiora: QE II Recreation 

and Sport Centre when it opens 

this week. 

The club will meet on 

Monday, Wednesday and Friday 

mornings from 6.30am to 

9.30am, and the first get-together 

will be on June 6. 

“It’s like coming back after I’ve 

been away on a holiday. It just 

feels the same,” Mr Pitama said. 

Mr Pitama developed the idea 

as a young lifeguard after seeing 

a need for a social group for 

older swimmers. 

At its peak, the club had 

300 members, but since the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake, 

the numbers had dwindled to a 

core group of 30 who still meet 

for lunch once a month and hold 

annual Christmas parties. 

Club co-ordinator Shirley 

Forbes, who is 81 and still goes 

to the gym and aqua jogs, said 

it’s a great time for new members 

to join. 

She and her husband Bruce 

became regular members of the 

club after they retired.

Gaskell named top surf coach 

• By Jacob Page 

JAMES GASKELL’S integral 

part in New Brighton’s national 

surf boat racing success has seen 

him earn coach of the year at the 

annual Canterbury awards. 

The three New Brighton crews 

Gaskell helped to coach 

came away with two national 

titles and a silver 

medal, which saw him 

honoured at the Canterbury 

surf lifesaving 

awards of excellence. 

New Brighton won 

the open men’s open 

short course for the 

second time and the 

women’s open long 

course title for the first time in the 

club’s history. 

The up-and-coming under-19 

women’s crew earned a silver 

medal in the girls short course. 

The 40-year-old has been part 

of the club for more than 25 years, 

and says the accomplishments 

are a nod to the improvement of 

South Island crews. 

“It’s very much a North Island 

dominated sport so to have the 

three South Island clubs achieving 

James Gaskell 

well at nationals is a big thing,” he 

said. 

“To send three boats to nationals 

and get all of them on the 

podium was a great achievement 

and proof that we can foot it with 

the best in the country,” he said. 

Gaskell said winning the 

award was recognition not 

just for him, but for the 

whole club. 

“I’m honoured to win it 

but it’s a real sign that the 

club is going really well. 

Gaskell started swimming 

at the club at the age 

of 14 but transitioned to 

surf boats at 20. 

While he still competes, 

he said he enjoys coaching 

for the opportunity to give back. 

“It’s a chance to stay involved 

with a really good club and ensure 

that it continues to grow,” he said. 

“It’s time I gave my body a break 

from being battered during races, 

too.” 

He said the club showed they 

could match it in the open grades 

while building up young crews, 

ensuring there was always a succession 

plan.

ON THE 

WATER: Scott 

Martlew’s 

silver medal 

in the paracanoe 

World 

Cup KL2 

200m will 

hopefully be a 

step towards 

gold at the 

2020 Tokyo 

Paralympics. 

Parklands para-athlete 

paddles to silver at 

World Cup in Hungary 


Scott Martlew 

SCOTT MARTLEW has had 

to call on all of his multiple 

sporting talents to fulfil his 

sporting aspirations. 

The talented 25-year-old 

from Parklands has 

just returned from the 

para-canoe World Cup 

in Hungary, where he 

earned a silver in the 

KL2 200m. 

It is just reward for 

an former Shirley Boys’ 

High School student 

who initially missed 

out on Rio Paralympic 

qualification by 100th of 

a second. However, the 

suspension of Russian athletes 

gave him a last minute paralympic 

reprieve and he finished 

eighth in the A final of the KL3 

200m. 

Martlew had a full leg amputation 

in 2010 following a muscle 

tear after a knock to the leg during 

a SBHS rugby curtain-raiser 

for a Crusaders match. 

The injury became infected 

with a flesh-eating bacteria. 

Martlew is a former national 

champion surf lifesaver 

and dragon boat racer. 

These skills, along with 

help from his mates, 

helped him adapt to his 

new sport. 

“I was always big into 

water sports, even before 

my injury, and while I 

went through some dark 

times, it was my mates 

who really encouraged 

me to get back out there.” 

Martlew said being reclassified 

into the KL2 200m 

event made a medal a realistic 

outcome. 

“It was pretty surreal to stand 

on that podium after a long road 

with plenty of ups and downs,” 

he said. Martlew also finished 

fourth in the VL3 200m at the 

World Cup. 

He aims to win gold in both 

events at the Tokyo Paralympics 

in 2020. But his next focus is the 

world championships in Portugal 

in August. “There will be some 

long training days on the Avon 

River and Kerrs Reach,” he said. 

“It often feels like I leave home 

in the dark and I return in the 

dark after a long winter training.” 

Martlew has been a largely selffunded 

athlete throughout his 

career and he wanted to thank 

family and friends who had 

supported him throughout his 

career so far. He would also like 

to thank the New Zealand Rugby 

Foundation, Canterbury Orthopaedic 

Services, Cyril Smith 

Legacy Fund, Canoe Racing New 

Zealand and Parafed Canterbury. 

SBHS cap off week with 

bonus point victory 


SHIRLEY BOYS’ High got a 

much-needed bonus point win 

away from home on Saturday 

when they beat Timaru Boys’ 

High School 33-26 in the UC 

Championship. 

It capped off a good week for 

the first XV, which also beat 

Marlborough Boys’ College 

24-17 at home in their annual 

school sports exchange fixture 

last Tuesday to kick-start their 

campaign after two narrow 

defeats. 

Christ’s College warmed-up 

for their top-of-the-table clash 

against Christchurch Boys’ High 

on Thursday with a convincing 

29-5 win over Lincoln High at 

Hagley Park North. 

Christ’s dominated the first 

half in wet conditions to lead 

22-0 at the break and effectively 

end the contest. 

Rangiora High caused the 

upset of the round when they 

toppled top four contenders 

Nelson College 16-15. 

St Thomas’ scored a try in the 

final play of their game to edge 

St Andrew’s College 24-22 and 

leave STAC with just one win 

after four rounds. 

St Bede’s proved they were 

genuine semi-final contenders 

after they went to Blenheim and 

ground out a 29-22 victory over 

Marlborough Boys’ College. 

St Bede’s now sit third while 

MBC are in fourth. 

CBHS had the weekend 

off after they racked up 102 

unanswered points against 

Mid-Canterbury Combined on 

Wednesday. 

Waimea Combined had no 

trouble dispatching Aoraki 

Combined 23-7 to ensure they 

were firmly entrenched in the 

middle of the table. 

SBHS will welcome Rangiora 

HIgh School on Saturday. St 

Thomas’ host TBHS, St Andrew’s 

will look to find form 

against Aoraki Combined, St 

Bede’s travel to Nelson to face 

Waimea Combined, Lincoln 

welcome Mid-Canterbury Combined, 

while Marlborough Boys’

Linwood Medical 

Centre offering 

new Sick Kids Clinic 

With winter around the corner, cold 

and flu season is now upon us. As a result, 

general practices tend to be busier and 

it can often be more difficult to get an 

appointment. 

Linwood Medical Centre is trying to 

change that. 

Beginning 5 June, the medical centre 

will be providing a Sick Kids Clinic to 

streamline visits for children with acute 

health needs. At the end of each morning 

and afternoon, appointments will be 

available for children under 14. These 

appointments will be with a nurse who 

will be able to provide letters for schools 

and advice to parents to help get their 

child well. 

General Practitioners (GPs) will be 

available to see the child if the nurse 

has additional concerns or believes a 

prescription is needed. 

Parents will need to call the medical 

centre to schedule an appointment for 

their child. Enrolled patients will have 

priority and the visits will be free as 

always to children under 13. If a nonenrolled 

child needs to be seen, the cost 

will be just $20. 

The clinics will streamline appointments 

for sick kids and provide the best service 

possible for as many children as need to 

be seen. 

Linwood Medical Centre is located 

upstairs in Eastgate Shopping Centre next 

to The Loft and the Linwood Library. The 

Centre provides extended hours general 

practice, with it’s own social worker, and 

specialised nurse services like B4 School 

Checks, diabetes education, and smear 

clinics. Linwood Dispensary, Physio 

South and Bubs4u Midwifery Care Nurse 

Maude district nursing, and CDHB Older 

Persons health are also located inside the 

Centre. 

Next door, The Loft 

www.theloftchristchurch.org.nz provides 

numerous social services.

FAST PACED 

PSYCHOLOGICAL 

THRILLER - ‘A PICASSO’ 

FOLLOWING on from past productions ‘Turn of 

the Screw’ and ‘e Woman in Black’, locally 

based independent theatre group, NO Productions 

eatre Collective presents its latest offering, A 

Picasso. 

Photo credit: euns Verwoerd 

Written by Jeffrey Hatcher, A Picasso is a fastpaced 

psychological thriller set in an interrogation 

room in Nazi-occuppied Paris. 

Directed by Michael Adams (‘Turn of the 

Screw’), this intense piece about art, sex, politics 

and truth is full of unexpected twists and 

surprises.

Jo Fuller 027 458 8590 

jo.fuller@starmedia.kiwi 

e story line follows a cat-andmouse 

game between the great artist 

and a captivating female cultural attaché 

from Berlin. 

“Which of these three paintings are 

genuine, Señor?”… 

When Miss Fischer (played by 

Nataliya Oryshchuk) reveals that the 

genuine Picasso pieces are destined not 

for an exhibition but a burning of 

degenerate art, the artist (played by 

David Allen) begins a desperate 

negotiation with his Nazi opponent, 

who turns out to be his secret admirer. 

‘A Picasso’ takes place at the 

Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o 

Waiwhetū in the Philip Carter Family 

Auditorium on Friday June 8 at 7.30pm 

and Saturday June 9 at 2.30pm and 

7pm. Tickets $27 (concessions $22).
