LINDA CHEN has a new
outlook on life after giving birth
to her first child, Sebastian.
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
member and her husband Robin
welcomed the baby boy on April
10 in what she described a
“precious experience.”
“Having a child has
not only been a precious
experience for me, as
a woman, but it has
also changed the
way I see the world.
I now see the world
as a mother – the
agendas and issues
in our ward have
become a lot more
personal now.”
Sebastian is also
the first grandchild
of both sides of the
family, “so he is
getting a lot of love
and attention,” said
Mrs Chen.
The couple first
met while at primary school at
the former Kendal School in
Harewood.

makes
ECan
rethink
bus cuts
• By Julia Evans and Sophie
Cornish
“OVERWHELMING”
opposition has caused
Environment Canterbury to
re-think its proposed cuts to bus
routes in the city.
ECan staff prepared an “alternative
option” to the proposal
in its draft Long Term Plan,
that would axe the six lowest
performing bus routes, affecting
110,000 passenger trips.
The new proposal will save
the 107 Styx Mill to Northlands
while the 108 Casebrook to
Northlands will be absorbed
into an extended version of the
28 Papanui to Lyttelton service.
Papanui Ward city councillor
Mike Davidson urged people to
submit on the plan, saying the
routes were an “essential social
service.”
He said while the new option
is “really good news” for residents
in his ward, “other areas
haven’t been as fortunate, which
is a shame.”

THAT’S A Martin Hunter special on the
front page today.
What I mean is the photo of community
board member Linda Chen and her baby.
It was taken by Hunter, still one of the
best photographers in the country in my
humble view, and it certainly captures the moment! No doubt
it’ll be one for the scrapbook – electronic presumably these days.
And of course congratulations to Linda and her husband
Robin who first met when they were youngsters at primary
school. Small world.
Great news also on the front page today over the planned
axing of bus routes.
Environment Canterbury is having second thoughts about it
now – no doubt because of the public outrage.

Minister urged to fix school zone plan
Jones says
suburbs feel
‘abandoned’
• By Sophie Cornish
A CALL has been made to the
minister of education to ensure
suburbs in the city’s east are not
further tested “to the point of
breaking.”
In a letter from the Papanui-
Innes Community Board to
Education Minister Chris
Hipkins last week, chairwoman
Ali Jones called for him to
reconsider
a proposal
which would
exclude the
suburbs of
Richmond
and Shirley
in the new
enrolment
Ali Jones
zone for
Shirley
Boys and Avonside Girls’ high
schools.
The two schools, which will
relocate to a shared campus
at QE II Park next year, are
required to create a new
enrolment zone.
The board of trustees led
ABANDONED: Richmond residents Laura McIntosh (left) and
Vanessa van Hoof are upset the draft school zone for the

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 Richmond, Shirley,
Avonside, Dallington and
Edgeware which are currently
in the zone.
The re-zoning was met with
public outcry from residents
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 they are “frustrated
by the lack of 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 put on fences in
the excluded suburbs, 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 have 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.”

In Brief
NEW AED FOR SCHOOL
A donation from the Harewood
School PTA has allowed the
purchase of an automated external
defibrillator. Staff, playcentre
members and parents attended
a training session where they
upskilled their CPR knowledge
and learned how to use the unit.
The AED is located in the sick bay
in the school’s office area and will
be available for public use during
school hours. It has also been added
to the AED locations app.
COFFEE SHOP OPEN
A new Black and White Coffee
Cartel shop, owned by former All
Black Reuben Thorne, was opened
in Papanui yesterday. The store,
located at 7 Winston Ave, had a
hiccup before opening, with a large
banner overlooking Papanui Rd
incorrectly stating it would open a
week earlier than it was supposed
to. “Our sign guys did it on Monday
too early! Hang tight Papanui!” said
a post on the store’s Facebook page.
RUTLAND ST PARKING
The Papanui-Innes Community
Board will consider converting the

Clips for quake-stressed kids
• By Sophie Cornish
DANCING WITH The Stars
co-host and well-known
comedian Dai Henwood
is about to do his bit for
Canterbury children stressed
by earthquakes, with the help of
the Neighbourhood Trust in St
Albans.
Henwood is recording voiceovers
for six webinars titled
Stress Inside Out which are
based on comparative research
from Canterbury University
associate professor Kathleen
Liberty, with assistance from
Christchurch teachers Liz Mc-
Naughton and Brie Liberty.
It is an animation project
organised by the trust which
focuses on stress and anxiety
in children, as a result of the
earthquakes.
“I am really glad to be
involved in such a positive
project that’s going to be a great
resource for the kids of the
Christchurch earthquakes,”
Henwood said yesterday.
The project will examine biological
issues within children,
brought about by more than
22,000 earthquakes experienced
in Canterbury.
The six 90sec webinars (seminar
conducted over the internet)
Kathleen
Liberty
Ginny
Larsen
will focus on how chronic stress
affects children, the behaviours
as a result and strategies on how
to deal with it.
Wellington scriptwriter Vincent
Konrad and Christchurch
animator Tom Linklater will
use “chatty, everyday language”
and imagery to show how the

accumulation of stress can lead
to bursting point.
Neighbourhood Trust manager
Ginny Larsen hopes the
webinars will help people understand
that the behaviours are
not the fault of the children or
their parents.
“A lot of parents are taking on
blame . . . a lot of the old strategies
to deal with behaviour don’t work
because the children are not in
control of their actions and in actual
fact it’s a biological response.”
Funding is being provided
from the Papanui-Innes Community
Board as well as the
Ministry of Social Development,
city council and the The Tindall
Foundation.
The webinars will be made
available online through Facebook
and in schools around
November.
Father-of-two Henwood’s
mother, Judge Carolyn Henwood,
created the Henwood Trust,
which focuses on helping at-risk
youth and young offenders.
Henwood is a team captain on
TV show 7Days and is host of
game show Family Feud.

Humour unleashed in bid
to get dog park funding
• By Sophie Cornish
THE FUNDING required to
extend The Groynes dog park
has been compared to “the
equivalent of finding stale
popcorn behind the back of your
sofa and selling it on Trade Me.”
The comment was made by
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board member and
deputy chairman Aaron Campbell
during Long Term Plan
2018-2028 submissions and was
met with laughs from both the
mayor and city councillors.
Titled his “pet project,” Mr
Campbell has taken his bid
to extend the Northwood dog
park, ‘More Park 2 Bark’, one
step further, calling for funding
during an LTP submission he
made himself, separate to the
community board’s.
He launched his crusade to
extend the dog park in January
which would see part of a 31ha
empty lot leftover from the
Western Belfast Bypass added to
the Johns Rd park.
More than 450 people have
signed a petition in support of
the extension.
Ninety-nine per cent of the
infrastructure is already in
place, said Mr Campbell, as suitable
fencing already borders The
Groynes.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said his
submission was “entertaining
and useful.”
His popcorn comment received
laugh from councillors
who called out: “How much?”
Mr Campbell replied: “About
a gate, seriously. There are some
acquisition costs but I can go
into that another time.”

dog park. •From page 1
A service from Prestons to QE
II would be made of a combination
of the 135 Burwood Hospital
and 150 The Palms routes. The
new service would not go to New
Brighton.
The 535 Rapaki route would
still be cut. However, the 28 route
would also extend to service Rapaki
three times in the morning
and evening respectively.
Cr Davidson said while it’s
good that ECan have listened, the
entire bus system is broken and
“needs to be fixed.”
“The services have been reduced
in terms of frequency and
operating hours . . . in an ideal
world, ECan wouldn’t be running
the bus network in the city,
the city council should be. That
would be a great step forward,”
he said.
He would also like to see city

council work better to improve
infrastructure around the buses,
as well as a transfer from dieselrun
vehicles to electric.
“We need good bus lanes so
buses don’t have to interact with
cars, they need their own bus lane
to work without having to pop in
and out of the car lanes, getting
stuck in traffic.”
“It makes it more attractive, we
don’t want people jumping into
their cars – we want people to
think it’s convenient,” he said.
There were 781 submissions on
the draft LTP, with the majority
of those on public transport options.
Said ECan councillor David
Caygill: “It became very clear
from the submissions that almost
everybody does not want us to
abandon the services.”
If approved, changes would
come into affect in October.

treasurer
Jason
Middlemiss
talks about the
club’s proud
tradition of
producing world-class
players and the changes
taking place at its home

IF YOU drive along Heaton St
in the evenings, you will notice
two things – it’s clogged with
traffic and it’s home to one of
the most beautiful reserves in
Christchurch – Elmwood Park.
In the summer, it’s home to Old
Boys Collegians Cricket Club.
To anyone who knows or loves
cricket, it’s the club of the Hadlee
family, which are as close as you
get to cricketing royalty in New
Zealand.
Other household cricketing
names we are extremely proud to
have had grace our park include
Shane Bond, Brendon McCullum,
our most recent Black Cap,
Todd Astle, and current White
Ferns Katie Martin and Erin
Birmingham.
Aside from the immense pride,
we feel in being associated with
these amazing names, most
people may not know the current
Hadlee Pavilion at Hagley Park
is situated smack bang on our
old club site, which we gave up
willingly to ensure the beautiful
vision that Canterbury Cricket
had for Hagley Oval could be
realised. Some may disagree, but
we think it adds immensely to

the legacy of Hagley Park.
It’s commonly said if you’re
standing still, you’re moving
backwards.
OBC is one of the largest clubs
in the country and arguably the
largest in the South Island, with
more than 500 junior members
and 100 seniors over any given
summer.
Our committee feels a responsibility
to provide the best experience
we can as a community hub,
where children can learn how
to work together for a shared
goal, enjoy success, deal with
failure and, if their stars align,
perhaps be the next McCullum
or Bond.
In the effort to move forward,
we have some ambitious and
exciting projects under way.
We are more than half way into
our $100,000 fundraising effort
to build new, safer, enclosed nets,
and we are in the planning stages
of creating a new pavilion on the
site that espouses the spirit and
history of cricket and of the park.
For a group of volunteers, this
is no small undertaking, but
along with a commitment and
expertise we have the confidence
that we can get it done.
Over the next year or two,
when you’re stuck in traffic down
Heaton St or passing through
on a Saturday, you will slowly
but surely see the hard work and
pride we have in the club coming
to fruition.

going door-to-door selling stuff
is rude and intrusive. If people
want to buy what they are selling
they are perfectly capable of
figuring it out themselves. Same

see their hawker’s licence and
watch them clear the gate as they
leave quickly. Hawkers require a
licence and most don’t bother to
get one.

the morning, and the cyclists
will still use the road and the
footpath anyway.
Anna Henderson – I would
love to see cycle lanes down
Memorial. Would need to be well
thought out and well designed,
though.
Bruce Marshall – $3 a litre
for gas might make this a brilliant
idea.
Ruth Neil – I park outside
Burnside High School most
days for school pick-up and it’s
hard to get a park. Would be
nice if the big trucks that speed
down Memorial Ave do the
school speed limit when it’s in
place; would never let my son
cycle in the area, even if this
got put in place. Very scary out
there.
Graeme Palmer – How
about better funded bus
routes that are public-friendly
instead.
Sarah Spencer Smith –
Tram from city to airport would
be an excellent idea. Then extend
it out to Sumner.
Stephanie Hagerty –
Trevor Taylor – Not needed
. . . I don’t think many people
cycle to the airport.
James David
Foote – Memorial Ave is long
overdue for cycle lanes.
Sonya O’Connor – No more
cycle lanes.
Allan Taunt – I’ve biked
down there on a dark wet night.
The door zone and close passes
(at a relatively high speed) make
it quite dangerous compared to
other places.
Scotty Ogilvie – It amazes
me that cyclists have managed to
survive until 2018 without cycle
lanes.
Cedric Trounson – There
is very little room to safely
accommodate parked cars,
two lanes, large centre plot and
a 60km/h speed limit. Other
options would be to remove the
lawn section on the footpath,
either move cars onto it or make
it a cycle lane.
Allan Taunt – The fact is
people do have momentary
lapses in judgement from
time to time. Generally they
don’t set out to endanger
others, that is however small
consequence to the victim.
There is also no denying driver
distraction is a big problem these
days.
Maria Sheriff – Wish they’d
put cycle lanes where it’s really
dangerous to cycle, like Lower
Styx Rd, where in parts there
is no road on the outside of the
white line for cyclists to even use.
See cyclists come close to being
wiped out almost on a daily
down that stretch.
Susan Keys – I don’t
know why cycle lanes can’t
be incorporated alongside
footpaths. Safer for all.

‘Eugenius’ scores
scholarship at
top US university
RANGI RURU Girls’ School
student Eugene In has been
accepted into the Stanford
University medicine summer
internship in the United
States.
The 17-year-old,
nicknamed ‘Eugenius’,
has been interested in
Stanford University’s
medicine faculty in
California for many
years. “Ever since I used
to watch Grey’s Anatomy
I guess,” she
said.
She will
fly to the US
in July.
“Last year
I was lucky
enough to
be in the
United
States for

competition
and got
to see the Stanford campus for
myself. It was inspirational. It’s
not only a very prestigious university,
but it’s well-known for its
holistic approach to innovation
and it prides itself on embracing
diversity. I really like that.”
FUNDRAISER:
Rangi Ruru
students
helped
raise more
than $500
for Eugene
In (above)
to study at
Stanford
University.
Forty-six per cent of students
who attend Stanford are from
outside the US.
Eugene’s classmates have
helped her fundraise for the
internship which comes with a
hefty price tag.
Rangi Ruru community
council head Isabella
Carter pitched the idea
to the council after
hearing about Eugene’s
opportunity on Facebook.
The idea was
to sell gelato
left over after
the students
annual ‘love
week’ in
February.
As the
cost of the
gelato was
already
covered,
any
money
made could
go straight to
Eugene.
“We hashtagged
it
#HelpASisterOut
as
our theme at school this year is
#sisterhood. It was amazing; we
sold out in one lunchtime and
raised $530.”
Eugene is continuing to fundraise
and will attend Stanford
from July 9-20.
A PLAY about twin boys
separated at birth has been
performed by St Andrew’s
College students.
More than 1300 people saw
the school’s senior production
of Blood Brothers, which had a
cast of 33 as well as 10 crew and
10 band members.
Rector Christine Leighton
said the show was met with

WITH THE help of the
governor-general, Christchurch
Girls’ High School officially
opened its new performing arts
centre on Friday.
Dame Patsy Reddy unveiled
the plaque for the centre with
head girl Stephanie Lester and
principal Pauline Duthie.
The school’s previous auditorium
was built in 1986, when
the school moved to its current
Maitai St location from Cranmer
Square. It was damaged beyond
repair in the earthquakes.
The new centre has an auditorium,
drama studios, solo and
ensemble music practice rooms,
a photography studio and classrooms.
It will be used as a classroom
by art, drama and music students.
Mrs Duthie said opening the
centre demonstrated the positive
progress that has been made
since the earthquakes.
at the end, which left no doubt
of the audience appreciation.”
“The powerful story stirred
much emotion,” she said.
“It is with amazement and
incredulity that parents, friends,
and staff have witnessed the
maturity and depth of emotion
and understanding that these
young actors have brought to
their characters on stage.”
Director Laurence Wiseman
said bringing Blood Brothers to
life involved more than 80 individual
stories coming together
to tell one.
“An amazing feat in and of
itself. Cast, crew, production
team, band members, worked
collaboratively towards a common
goal.”

Martlew paddles to silver in World Cup
• By Jacob Page
SCOTT MARTLEW has had
to call on all of his multiple
sporting talents to fulfil his
sporting aspirations.
The talented 25-year-old,
former Shirley Boys’ High School
student has just returned from
the para-canoe World Cup in
Hungary, where he earned a
Scott Martlew
Scholastic titles for
three St Bede’s surfers
ST BEDE’S College struck triple
success at the Canterbury surf
scholastic championships at New
Brighton last week.
St Bede’s student Riley Gibson
claimed the under-18 boys title in
small onshore conditions, with
waves reaching a maximum of
50cm in spite of organisers delaying
the start of the event in hope
of bigger waves.
The event was a trail for the national
scholastic championships
at Gisborne in October.
A training squad will be announced
after Queen’s Birthday
weekend.
Gibson’s fellow schoolmate,
Neko Tohiariki, won the under-16
boys event with two great
waves in the opening minutes,
while Caspar McCormick’s fancy
foot work won him the long
silver in the KL2 200m.
It is just reward for the Parklands
resident 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.
boarding with some nice cross
steps and nose-rides.
Rangiora’s Tegen Bishop won
the girls mixed-age final with
some powerful turns.
Papanui High School’s Jai
Oakley shot out to an early lead
in under-14 boys with two great
waves in the first few minutes to
win comfortably.

“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

towards gold at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.
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
self-funded 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

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

Directed by Michael Adams (‘Turn of the
Screw’), this intense piece about art, sex, politics
and truth is full of unexpected twists and
surprises.

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).
