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

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

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

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

consultation in April based on<br />
a document with a ‘draft zone’<br />
which included the suburbs<br />
of Burwood, Parklands, New<br />
Brighton, South Brighton and<br />
Southshore.<br />
It excludes Richmond, Shirley,<br />
Avonside, Dallington and<br />
Edgeware which are currently<br />
in the zone.<br />
The re-zoning was met with<br />
public outcry from residents<br />
who felt “abandoned” and asked<br />
why suburbs with no historical<br />
connection to the schools<br />
were included, while others<br />
were left out. In the letter, Ms<br />
Jones said some families who<br />
chose to remain in the area at<br />
“considerable hardship”<br />
are no longer assured of<br />
enrolment for their children.<br />
And they are “frustrated<br />
by the lack of consultation,<br />
transparency and commitment<br />
by the MOE.”<br />
“The local communities in<br />
Richmond and Shirley feel<br />
abandoned following their<br />
exclusion from the zones<br />
that will contain the schools<br />
their children have attended<br />
and supported pre and postearthquake.”<br />
“This situation adds to the<br />
stress and upset for families<br />
remaining in an area that was<br />
hard-hit by the earthquakes,”<br />
said the letter.<br />
Residents have gathered<br />
more than 1900 signatures<br />
in an online petition against<br />
the exclusion, as well as<br />
delivering about 3000 leaflets<br />
to surrounding areas, alerting<br />
people to the issue. Signs have<br />
also been put on fences in<br />
the excluded suburbs, saying<br />
‘don’t leave our kids out in the<br />
cold’ and ‘haven’t our kids lost<br />
enough in the quake already?’<br />
The MOE will make the final<br />
decision and deputy secretary<br />
sector enablement and support,<br />
Katrina Casey, said at this stage<br />
no decisions have been made.<br />
“We are in the process of<br />
assessing recommendations<br />
from the two boards, which<br />
includes feedback from the<br />
consultation they undertook<br />
with their communities.”<br />

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

Clips for quake-stressed kids<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
DANCING WITH The Stars<br />
co-host and well-known<br />
comedian Dai Henwood<br />
is about to do his bit for<br />
Canterbury children stressed<br />
by earthquakes, with the help of<br />
the Neighbourhood Trust in St<br />
Albans.<br />
Henwood is recording voiceovers<br />
for six webinars titled<br />
Stress Inside Out which are<br />
based on comparative research<br />
from Canterbury University<br />
associate professor Kathleen<br />
Liberty, with assistance from<br />
Christchurch teachers Liz Mc-<br />
Naughton and Brie Liberty.<br />
It is an animation project<br />
organised by the trust which<br />
focuses on stress and anxiety<br />
in children, as a result of the<br />
earthquakes.<br />
“I am really glad to be<br />
involved in such a positive<br />
project that’s going to be a great<br />
resource for the kids of the<br />
Christchurch earthquakes,”<br />
Henwood said yesterday.<br />
The project will examine biological<br />
issues within children,<br />
brought about by more than<br />
22,000 earthquakes experienced<br />
in Canterbury.<br />
The six 90sec webinars (seminar<br />
conducted over the internet)<br />
Kathleen<br />
Liberty<br />
Ginny<br />
Larsen<br />
will focus on how chronic stress<br />
affects children, the behaviours<br />
as a result and strategies on how<br />
to deal with it.<br />
Wellington scriptwriter Vincent<br />
Konrad and Christchurch<br />
animator Tom Linklater will<br />
use “chatty, everyday language”<br />
and imagery to show how the<br />
RESOURCE: Six webinars voiced by Dai Henwood will<br />
focus on stress and anxiety in children as a result of the<br />
Canterbury earthquakes.<br />
accumulation of stress can lead<br />
to bursting point.<br />
Neighbourhood Trust manager<br />
Ginny Larsen hopes the<br />
webinars will help people understand<br />
that the behaviours are<br />
not the fault of the children or<br />
their parents.<br />
“A lot of parents are taking on<br />
blame . . . a lot of the old strategies<br />
to deal with behaviour don’t work<br />
because the children are not in<br />
control of their actions and in actual<br />
fact it’s a biological response.”<br />
Funding is being provided<br />
from the Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board as well as the<br />
Ministry of Social Development,<br />
city council and the The Tindall<br />
Foundation.<br />
The webinars will be made<br />
available online through Facebook<br />
and in schools around<br />
November.<br />
Father-of-two Henwood’s<br />

School’s work with<br />

BURNSIDE PRIMARY School<br />
has been recognised for 25 years<br />
of service in an environmental<br />
programme which targets litter.<br />
The school was presented the<br />
award at Keep Christchurch Beautiful’s<br />
annual award ceremony.<br />
It is one of only two schools to<br />
have participated in the Schools<br />
Environment Programme since<br />
it’s began in 1994.<br />
The programme challenges<br />
schools to keep their grounds and<br />
surrounding area litter-free.<br />

Shirish Paranjape said the school<br />

As a board member, issues in<br />

said Mrs Chen.<br />
“The decisions we make today<br />
will affect people’s families and our<br />
future generation so it is very crucial<br />
that we (board members) do<br />
not make rash decisions. We need<br />
to work closely with city council<br />
staff to forecast the consequences<br />
of our decisions in the long term,<br />
not just for the instant results.”

Humour unleashed in bid<br />
to get dog park funding<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
THE FUNDING required to<br />
extend The Groynes dog park<br />
has been compared to “the<br />
equivalent of finding stale<br />
popcorn behind the back of your<br />
sofa and selling it on Trade Me.”<br />
The comment was made by<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board member and<br />
deputy chairman Aaron Campbell<br />
during Long Term Plan<br />
<strong>2018</strong>-2028 submissions and was<br />
met with laughs from both the<br />
mayor and city councillors.<br />
Titled his “pet project,” Mr<br />
Campbell has taken his bid<br />
to extend the Northwood dog<br />
park, ‘More Park 2 Bark’, one<br />
step further, calling for funding<br />
during an LTP submission he<br />
made himself, separate to the<br />
community board’s.<br />
He launched his crusade to<br />
extend the dog park in January<br />
which would see part of a 31ha<br />
empty lot leftover from the<br />
Western Belfast Bypass added to<br />
the Johns Rd park.<br />
More than 450 people have<br />
signed a petition in support of<br />
the extension.<br />
Ninety-nine per cent of the<br />
infrastructure is already in<br />
place, said Mr Campbell, as suitable<br />
fencing already borders The<br />
Groynes.<br />
<strong>May</strong>or Lianne Dalziel said his<br />
submission was “entertaining<br />
and useful.”<br />
His popcorn comment received<br />
laugh from councillors<br />
who called out: “How much?”<br />
Mr Campbell replied: “About<br />
a gate, seriously. There are some<br />
acquisition costs but I can go<br />
into that another time.”<br />
Public pressure causes<br />
ECan to rethink bus cuts<br />
LAUGHS: Aaron<br />
Campbell<br />
entertained<br />
the mayor and<br />
city councillors<br />
at LTP<br />
submissions<br />
during his<br />
bid to get<br />
funding for an<br />
extension of<br />
The Groynes<br />
dog park. •From page 1<br />
A service from Prestons to QE<br />
II would be made of a combination<br />
of the 135 Burwood Hospital<br />
and 150 The Palms routes. The<br />
new service would not go to New<br />
Brighton.<br />
The 535 Rapaki route would<br />
still be cut. However, the 28 route<br />
would also extend to service Rapaki<br />
three times in the morning<br />
and evening respectively.<br />
Cr Davidson said while it’s<br />
good that ECan have listened, the<br />
entire bus system is broken and<br />
“needs to be fixed.”<br />
“The services have been reduced<br />
in terms of frequency and<br />
operating hours . . . in an ideal<br />
world, ECan wouldn’t be running<br />
the bus network in the city,<br />
the city council should be. That<br />
would be a great step forward,”<br />
he said.<br />
He would also like to see city<br />
CUTS:<br />
Environment<br />
Canterbury<br />
has found an<br />
alternative to<br />
cutting bus<br />
routes across<br />
the city.<br />
council work better to improve<br />
infrastructure around the buses,<br />
as well as a transfer from dieselrun<br />
vehicles to electric.<br />
“We need good bus lanes so<br />
buses don’t have to interact with<br />
cars, they need their own bus lane<br />
to work without having to pop in<br />
and out of the car lanes, getting<br />
stuck in traffic.”<br />
“It makes it more attractive, we<br />
don’t want people jumping into<br />
their cars – we want people to<br />
think it’s convenient,” he said.<br />
There were 781 submissions on<br />
the draft LTP, with the majority<br />
of those on public transport options.<br />
Said ECan councillor David<br />
Caygill: “It became very clear<br />
from the submissions that almost<br />
everybody does not want us to<br />
abandon the services.”<br />
If approved, changes would<br />
come into affect in October.<br />

‘Ambitious’ upgrade planned at Elmwood Park<br />
Old Boys<br />
Collegians<br />
Cricket Club<br />
treasurer<br />
Jason<br />
Middlemiss<br />
talks about the<br />
club’s proud<br />
tradition of<br />
producing world-class<br />
players and the changes<br />
taking place at its home<br />
ground<br />
IF YOU drive along Heaton St<br />
in the evenings, you will notice<br />
two things – it’s clogged with<br />
traffic and it’s home to one of<br />
the most beautiful reserves in<br />
Christchurch – Elmwood Park.<br />
In the summer, it’s home to Old<br />
Boys Collegians Cricket Club.<br />
To anyone who knows or loves<br />
cricket, it’s the club of the Hadlee<br />
family, which are as close as you<br />
get to cricketing royalty in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Other household cricketing<br />
names we are extremely proud to<br />
have had grace our park include<br />
Shane Bond, Brendon McCullum,<br />
our most recent Black Cap,<br />
Todd Astle, and current White<br />
Ferns Katie Martin and Erin<br />
Birmingham.<br />
Aside from the immense pride,<br />
we feel in being associated with<br />
these amazing names, most<br />
people may not know the current<br />
Hadlee Pavilion at Hagley Park<br />
is situated smack bang on our<br />
old club site, which we gave up<br />
willingly to ensure the beautiful<br />
vision that Canterbury Cricket<br />
had for Hagley Oval could be<br />
realised. Some may disagree, but<br />
we think it adds immensely to<br />
DEVELOPMENTS: Old Boys Collegians Cricket Club treasurer Jason Middlemiss is looking<br />
forward to the completion of a new pavilion and practice nets at Elmwood Park.<br />
the legacy of Hagley Park.<br />
It’s commonly said if you’re<br />
standing still, you’re moving<br />
backwards.<br />
OBC is one of the largest clubs<br />
in the country and arguably the<br />
largest in the South Island, with<br />
more than 500 junior members<br />
and 100 seniors over any given<br />
summer.<br />
Our committee feels a responsibility<br />
to provide the best experience<br />
we can as a community hub,<br />
where children can learn how<br />
to work together for a shared<br />
goal, enjoy success, deal with<br />
failure and, if their stars align,<br />
perhaps be the next McCullum<br />
or Bond.<br />
In the effort to move forward,<br />
we have some ambitious and<br />
exciting projects under way.<br />
We are more than half way into<br />
our $100,000 fundraising effort<br />
to build new, safer, enclosed nets,<br />
and we are in the planning stages<br />
of creating a new pavilion on the<br />
site that espouses the spirit and<br />
history of cricket and of the park.<br />
For a group of volunteers, this<br />
is no small undertaking, but<br />
along with a commitment and<br />
expertise we have the confidence<br />
that we can get it done.<br />
Over the next year or two,<br />
when you’re stuck in traffic down<br />
Heaton St or passing through<br />
on a Saturday, you will slowly<br />
but surely see the hard work and<br />
pride we have in the club coming<br />
to fruition.<br />

already.<br />
Readers respond to an<br />
article about door-to-door<br />
salespeople, and where to<br />
get a ‘do not knock’ sticker<br />
Lee F Whitehead – Tell<br />
them to p*** off and close the<br />
door.<br />
Corina Wilson – I need one<br />
of these stickers in my life, saves<br />
time trying to get rid of them . . .<br />
every house should get delivered<br />
one with their weekly The Star<br />
paper.<br />
Tiffany Burke – Templeton<br />
is just as bad. Had a very rude<br />
pushy man from Contact<br />
Energy come round. Was so<br />
rude it made the Templeton<br />
residents page and everyone that<br />
commented did not have a good<br />
word to say about him. I think<br />
going door-to-door selling stuff<br />
is rude and intrusive. If people<br />
want to buy what they are selling<br />
they are perfectly capable of<br />
figuring it out themselves. Same<br />
with these religious people that<br />
come round and try to ‘show<br />
you the path to god’. If someone<br />
wanted to do that, they could go<br />
to church themselves, not have it<br />
preached on their door step.<br />
Amanda Holden – I had<br />
a really rude girl knock on the<br />
door the other night, when I told<br />
her I wouldn’t donate she wanted<br />
to know why. She quickly got<br />
acquainted with the front door.<br />
John Dunphy – Be friendly,<br />
ask the ‘hawker’ what their name<br />
is. Then ask them if you can<br />
see their hawker’s licence and<br />
watch them clear the gate as they<br />
leave quickly. Hawkers require a<br />
licence and most don’t bother to<br />
get one.<br />
Readers respond to<br />
an article about a bid to<br />
get cycle lanes and<br />
restricted parking on<br />
Memorial Ave<br />
Dale Clutterbuck – The city<br />
council needs to start spending<br />
rates more wisely. Spend on<br />
essentials and stop finding new<br />
ways to waste our money. Can’t<br />
wait to vote again.<br />
Nicholas Smeaton –<br />
Having seen the results of other<br />
cycle lanes, this is an incredibly<br />
stupid idea.<br />
Diane Adams – Where<br />
are motorist meant to park?<br />
Cycleways are taking over.<br />
Byron Clark – There will<br />
be a tonne of angry comments<br />
but the reality is we’re moving<br />
toward the end of the age of the<br />
private motor vehicle, and our<br />
cities should be ready for that<br />
change.<br />
Stephen Graham –<br />
Excellent. Make the road safer<br />
for all users.<br />
Daniel Thompson – Great.<br />
So now I will have to strap my<br />
(6.5m) ladder and my van load<br />
of tools to a bike. And then<br />
when I’m not working, I’ll have<br />
to tow my disabled boy in his<br />
wheelchair with my bike. These<br />
cycle lanes are only any good<br />
for people who use them for<br />
recreation and office workers<br />
who don’t have to go too far and<br />
don’t have a tight schedule in<br />

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

SCHOOLS<br />
‘Eugenius’ scores<br />
scholarship at<br />
top US university<br />
RANGI RURU Girls’ School<br />
student Eugene In has been<br />
accepted into the Stanford<br />
University medicine summer<br />
internship in the United<br />
States.<br />
The 17-year-old,<br />
nicknamed ‘Eugenius’,<br />
has been interested in<br />
Stanford University’s<br />
medicine faculty in<br />
California for many<br />
years. “Ever since I used<br />
to watch Grey’s Anatomy<br />
I guess,” she<br />
said.<br />
She will<br />
fly to the US<br />
in July.<br />
“Last year<br />
I was lucky<br />
enough to<br />
be in the<br />
United<br />
States for<br />
the International<br />
Future<br />
Problem<br />
Solving<br />
competition<br />
and got<br />
to see the Stanford campus for<br />
myself. It was inspirational. It’s<br />
not only a very prestigious university,<br />
but it’s well-known for its<br />
holistic approach to innovation<br />
and it prides itself on embracing<br />
diversity. I really like that.”<br />
FUNDRAISER:<br />
Rangi Ruru<br />
students<br />
helped<br />
raise more<br />
than $500<br />
for Eugene<br />
In (above)<br />
to study at<br />
Stanford<br />
University.<br />
Forty-six per cent of students<br />
who attend Stanford are from<br />
outside the US.<br />
Eugene’s classmates have<br />
helped her fundraise for the<br />
internship which comes with a<br />
hefty price tag.<br />
Rangi Ruru community<br />
council head Isabella<br />
Carter pitched the idea<br />
to the council after<br />
hearing about Eugene’s<br />
opportunity on Facebook.<br />
The idea was<br />
to sell gelato<br />
left over after<br />
the students<br />
annual ‘love<br />
week’ in<br />
February.<br />
As the<br />
cost of the<br />
gelato was<br />
already<br />
covered,<br />
any<br />
money<br />
made could<br />
go straight to<br />
Eugene.<br />
“We hashtagged<br />
it<br />
#HelpASisterOut<br />
as<br />
our theme at school this year is<br />
#sisterhood. It was amazing; we<br />
sold out in one lunchtime and<br />
raised $530.”<br />
Eugene is continuing to fundraise<br />
and will attend Stanford<br />
from July 9-20.<br />
A PLAY about twin boys<br />
separated at birth has been<br />
performed by St Andrew’s<br />
College students.<br />
More than 1300 people saw<br />
the school’s senior production<br />
of Blood Brothers, which had a<br />
cast of 33 as well as 10 crew and<br />
10 band members.<br />
Rector Christine Leighton<br />
said the show was met with<br />
“spontaneous standing ovations<br />
HAND-IN-HAND: Hana Pearce and Harry Wilkinson played<br />
Linda and Eddie.<br />
FINALE: The cast of Blood<br />
Brothers (left) included Leo<br />
Noordanus and Jenna Wells<br />
who played Mr and Mrs Lyons.<br />
‘Standing ovations’ for St Andrew’s play<br />
WITH THE help of the<br />
governor-general, Christchurch<br />
Girls’ High School officially<br />
opened its new performing arts<br />
centre on Friday.<br />
Dame Patsy Reddy unveiled<br />
the plaque for the centre with<br />
head girl Stephanie Lester and<br />
principal Pauline Duthie.<br />
The school’s previous auditorium<br />
was built in 1986, when<br />
the school moved to its current<br />
Maitai St location from Cranmer<br />
Square. It was damaged beyond<br />
repair in the earthquakes.<br />
The new centre has an auditorium,<br />
drama studios, solo and<br />
ensemble music practice rooms,<br />
a photography studio and classrooms.<br />
It will be used as a classroom<br />
by art, drama and music students.<br />
Mrs Duthie said opening the<br />
centre demonstrated the positive<br />
progress that has been made<br />
since the earthquakes.<br />
at the end, which left no doubt<br />
of the audience appreciation.”<br />
“The powerful story stirred<br />
much emotion,” she said.<br />
“It is with amazement and<br />
incredulity that parents, friends,<br />
and staff have witnessed the<br />
maturity and depth of emotion<br />
and understanding that these<br />
young actors have brought to<br />
their characters on stage.”<br />
Director Laurence Wiseman<br />
said bringing Blood Brothers to<br />
life involved more than 80 individual<br />
stories coming together<br />
to tell one.<br />
“An amazing feat in and of<br />
itself. Cast, crew, production<br />
team, band members, worked<br />
collaboratively towards a common<br />
goal.”<br />

sporting talents to fulfil his<br />
sporting aspirations.<br />
The talented 25-year-old,<br />
former Shirley Boys’ High School<br />
student has just returned from<br />
the para-canoe World Cup in<br />
Hungary, where he earned a<br />
Scott Martlew<br />
Scholastic titles for<br />
three St Bede’s surfers<br />
ST BEDE’S College struck triple<br />
success at the Canterbury surf<br />
scholastic championships at New<br />
Brighton last week.<br />
St Bede’s student Riley Gibson<br />
claimed the under-18 boys title in<br />
small onshore conditions, with<br />
waves reaching a maximum of<br />
50cm in spite of organisers delaying<br />
the start of the event in hope<br />
of bigger waves.<br />
The event was a trail for the national<br />
scholastic championships<br />
at Gisborne in October.<br />
A training squad will be announced<br />
after Queen’s Birthday<br />
weekend.<br />
Gibson’s fellow schoolmate,<br />
Neko Tohiariki, won the under-16<br />
boys event with two great<br />
waves in the opening minutes,<br />
while Caspar McCormick’s fancy<br />
foot work won him the long<br />
silver in the KL2 200m.<br />
It is just reward for the Parklands<br />
resident who initially<br />
missed out on Rio Paralympic<br />
qualification by 100th of a second.<br />
However, the suspension of<br />
Russian athletes gave him a last<br />
minute paralympic reprieve and<br />
he finished eighth in the A final<br />
of the KL3 200m.<br />
Martlew had a full leg amputation<br />
in 2010 following a muscle<br />
tear after a knock to the leg during<br />
a SBHS rugby curtain-raiser<br />
for a Crusaders match.<br />
The injury became infected<br />
with a flesh-eating bacteria.<br />
Martlew is a former national<br />
champion surf lifesaver and<br />
dragon boat racer. These skills,<br />
along with help from his mates,<br />
helped him adapt to his new<br />
sport.<br />
“I was always big into water<br />
sports, even before my injury,<br />
and while I went through some<br />
dark times, it was my mates who<br />
really encouraged me to get back<br />
out there,”<br />
Martlew said being reclassified<br />
into the KL2 200m<br />
event made a medal a realistic<br />
outcome.<br />
boarding with some nice cross<br />
steps and nose-rides.<br />
Rangiora’s Tegen Bishop won<br />
the girls mixed-age final with<br />
some powerful turns.<br />
Papanui High School’s Jai<br />
Oakley shot out to an early lead<br />
in under-14 boys with two great<br />
waves in the first few minutes to<br />
win comfortably.<br />
CHAMPION: Neko Tohiariki<br />
was one of three St Bede’s<br />
students to win titles at<br />
the Canterbury scholastic<br />
surf championships in New<br />
Brighton.<br />

SPORTS<br />
“It was pretty surreal to stand<br />
on that podium after a long road<br />
with plenty of ups and downs,”<br />
he said.<br />
Martlew also finished fourth<br />
in the VL3 200m at the World<br />
Cup.<br />
He aims to win gold in both<br />
events at the Tokyo Paralympics<br />
in 2020. But his next focus is the<br />
ON THE WATER: Scott Martlew’s silver medal in the<br />
para-canoe World Cup KL2 200m will hopefully be a step<br />
towards gold at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.<br />
world championships in Portugal<br />
in August.<br />
“There will be some long training<br />
days on the Avon River and<br />
Kerrs Reach,” he said.<br />
“It often feels like I leave home<br />
in the dark and I return in the<br />
dark after a long winter training.”<br />
Martlew has been a largely<br />
self-funded athlete throughout<br />
his career and he wanted to<br />
thank family and friends who<br />
had supported him throughout<br />
his career so far.<br />
He would also like to thank<br />
the New Zealand Rugby<br />
Foundation, Canterbury<br />
Orthopaedic Services, Cyril<br />
Smith Legacy Fund, Canoe<br />
Racing New Zealand and<br />

e story line follows a cat-andmouse<br />
game between the great artist<br />
and a captivating female cultural attaché<br />
from Berlin.<br />
“Which of these three paintings are<br />
genuine, Señor?”…<br />
When Miss Fischer (played by<br />
Nataliya Oryshchuk) reveals that the<br />
genuine Picasso pieces are destined not<br />
for an exhibition but a burning of<br />
degenerate art, the artist (played by<br />
David Allen) begins a desperate<br />
negotiation with his Nazi opponent,<br />
who turns out to be his secret admirer.<br />
‘A Picasso’ takes place at the<br />
Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o<br />
Waiwhetū in the Philip Carter Family<br />
Auditorium on Friday June 8 at 7.30pm<br />
and Saturday June 9 at 2.30pm and<br />
7pm. Tickets $27 (concessions $22).<br />
