Pupils show true grit
ST ANNE’S Catholic School
produced an unconventional
cross-country event, using
an obstacle course which
involved ducking, diving and
getting muddy.
The Grit Challenge was
the idea of a parent who
works for a scaffolding
company and involved a
technical run including two
crossings, jumping a fence,
tunnels, poles, large barrels
and several mud-based
obstacles.
The pupils climbed up a
four-level scaffolding feature
and jumped off into matting.
Principal Dallas Wichman
said the challenge was put together
to promote the school’s
attitude of grit.
“To persist when things get
difficult and give things a go
which we know is a big determiner
of success in life.”
“The event was amazing
and brings so many
families rather than the
traditional ‘running around
the park’-style cross-country
which we know is dead
boring.”
He said the pupils loved the
course.
“They loved getting really
high on the scaffolding obstacle
and dropping off onto our
high jump mat.”

bus cuts
rethink
• By Julia Evans
PUBLIC OUTCRY has caused a
rethink over plans to cut bus routes
around the city.
But the 535 Eastgate to Lyttelton
and Rapaki still remains on the
chopping block.
Environment Canterbury staff
prepared an “alternative option” to
the proposal in its draft Long Term
Plan that would axe the six lowest
performing bus routes following
“overwhelming” public opposition,
a spokeswoman said.
Those routes included the 535
and the 145 Westmorland to
Eastgate.
The solution is a modification
of the six routes proposed to be
disestablished – with frequency
changes, the combining of two
routes, extension and re-routing of
others.
But as part of the proposal,
there would not be a service
travelling down Linwood Ave,
through Ferrymead and Mt
Pleasant.

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
SMELLY: Bromley

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.

OPAWA LIBRARY DESIGN
The Ōpāwa Library rebuild
working group has meet to develop
the design brief for the library’s
construction. The working group
is set to agree on the city council’s
final design brief, which will be
included in the request design and
build contracts. The earthquakedamaged
building at 151 Opawa
Rd has been closed since 2011. The
library is operating out of interim
premises in the nearby Opawa
Children’s Library building.
WALTHAM PARK SAFETY
City council staff have found
safety concerns at Waltham Park
need to be identified by a crime
prevention through environmental
design report, after a request
from the Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board. The
report would suggest actions to
resolve the issues. To make a full
assessment of the concerns, a day
and night-time site visit would be
necessary.

wastewater scheme has been
completed.
Estimated to serve 14,000 residents,
the $12 million South East
Halswell Wastewater Scheme is
made up of 8km of new sewer

of 450mm.
A new pump

Halswell Ward councillor
Anne Galloway said the
scheme was “totally positive” for
the area and praised workers for
delivering the project on time.
“Having it means pressure is
taken off ageing infrastructure
in other parts of the ward and
means we have infrastructure
that protects the environment
and up to the job,” she said.

Kylie Hills said the scheme
had the capacity to service more
than 5000 new houses in the
area.
A new water supply main
through the Sutherlands Rd corridor
and Quarry View was also
part of the project.
The work came with a number
of challenges, he said.
“We had to deal with trenching
through swampy ground
during one of the wettest winters
on record, several significant
road closures, challenging
ground conditions and pressure
to finish work in the Nga
Puna Wai section to be ready for
the construction of the sports
hub.”
Existing pump stations in the
area were also upgraded as part
of the project.
The scheme has the capacity to
carry more than 11 million litres
of wastewater per day.

Scarborough Dippers not afraid of the cold
• By Sarla Donovan
THE STARS are still visible
above Pegasus Bay when Kerry
Newton dips her toes into the

Robin Dawson who has
driven over from Lyttelton.

Stepping stone in Quarryman’s Trail
THE FIRST stage of a cycle
route that will eventually
connect Halswell and the central
city is nearing completion with
the last few intersections and
crossings opening soon.
Construction work started
on the Quarryman Trail cycleway
last October. The first
4.6km stage of the route, from
Moorhouse Ave to Victors Rd,
is expected to be finished by
the end of June. In the next few
weeks, traffic signals will be
turned on at two new intersections
and two new controlled
crossings for cyclists and pedestrians.
A pedestrian and cyclist crossing
from Rydal St to Sparks Rd
near Hoon Hay School became
operational last week. Signals at
the Lyttelton St and Sparks Rd
intersection will be open from
May 28 and traffic lights will go
on at Sparks Rd and Hoon Hay
Rd from June 5.
Another pedestrian and cyclist
crossing has been built at the
intersection of Barrington St
and Strauss St and this will open
in June, once the new shared
path connecting Roker St and
Barrington St is finished.
The contractors, Isaac Construction
Ltd, have completed
the intersection upgrades using

Toy Library is taking part in a

week.
Toy Library Awareness week
runs until Sunday.
There are nearly 200 local toy
libraries across New Zealand
supporting families and children
by providing access to a wide
range of toys, games, and
puzzles for hire.
For many families, hiring
toys gives their children access
to items that are not easily
affordable to buy, and allows
children to come to a library
and explore all the different toys
relatively new technique where
the asphalt is a thicker layer
than usual and allowed faster
construction. It is also stronger
and more long-lasting, reducing
future maintenance, the city
council said.
Contractor Fulton Hogan
has worked on the section of
the Quarryman’s Trail between
Moorhouse Ave and Roker
St which is already open, and
includes two new and three
upgraded intersections.
The final stage of the cycleway,
from Victors Rd to Te Hapua in
on offer. Christchurch South
Toy Library recently relocated
from Spreydon School to a new,
temporary home at Addington
Raceway.
Open two mornings a week –
Friday and Saturday – there is
a large area with many toys for
members to peruse.
Members say they like the
new space and the way the toys
are displayed. Children can
explore the toys and try them
out in a safe and welcoming
environment.
It is proven that play is an
essential component of child
development and many schools
Halswell, will be constructed at
a later date subject to funding
availability.
The city council’s planning
and delivery transport manager
Lynette Ellis, says the new intersections
will benefit motorists
as well as improving safety for
pedestrians and cyclists.
“They will help ease congestion,
particularly at peak times
at the busy intersections of
Lyttelton St and Sparks Rd and
at Hoon Hay Rd and Sparks Rd
which were previously roundabouts
and now have signals. The
are incorporating play as a
tool to support learning in the
classroom.
The library has dress up
and role playing toys such as
doctor’s kits, play kitchens and
cash registers, all of which are
considered good for the brain.
Studies say that the act of
staying in character strengthens
kids’ discipline and impulsecontrol,
and promotes the social
skills they’ll need as adults.
Hiring from a toy library is
also a great way to care for the
environment.
It is estimated that more than

Long term, the cycle route will

Outcry forces
ECan bus
route rethink
•From page 1
The Rapaki section of the route
will be serviced three times in the
morning and three times in the
evening by an extended version of
the 28 Lyttelton bus.
During a deliberation meeting
on Wednesday, councillor Cynthia
Roberts said she wanted staff to
re-look at dropping the 535.
“I really would like staff to have
a look again at the opportunity
for the 535 that went through Ferrymead.
. .There is quite a substantial
group of people who are
interested in this route,” she said.
Councillors have asked for staff
to further consider the best solution
for the 535.
The 145 route from Westmorland
to Barrington Mall will be retained
and extended into the CBD.
The service will have a half-hourly
frequency during peak times and
less frequent services off-peak.
The section of the 145 between St
Martins and Eastgate will still be
discontinued.
However, ECan public transport
senior manager Stewart Gibbon
said a school service is being considered
for Cashmere High school
students who use the 145.
ECan announced in February it
was considering cutting the routes
to plug a $4 million funding shortfall.
The news prompted outrage.
The plan would be funded by
a 2.5 per cent increase in fares
annually for the next three years,
starting in July.”
There were 781 submissions on
the draft LTP, with the majority of
those on public transport options.
Mr Gibbon said if approved, the
changes would come into effect in
October.

Encouraging men to get healthy
• By Anan Zaki
THE LENS will be focused on
Christchurch men next month,
as Men’s Health Month kicks
off.
Sport Canterbury have teamed
up with generous local activity
providers to create a month of
free activities for over-60s to
celebrate the month.
“Men’s Health Month is a
chance for men across New
Zealand to start talking more
about their health,” Sport
Canterbury chief executive
Julyan Falloon said.
“What we’re trying to do is
raise that awareness and translate
that awareness into behaviour
change,” he said.
Sport Canterbury’s Community
Groups Strength and Balance
project leader Rebecca Logan said
men have usually been shy to join
group activities.
“Often guys think group
exercises are for women, but
these classes have benefits for
everyone.”
Miss Logan encouraged men
to make the most of the month of
activities.
“Come and give it a go
and if you enjoy it, buddy up
with another participant to
become a regular class attendee.
Group exercise offers many
benefits to men, including
improving your strength and
balance, which will enable you
live stronger for longer and keep
your independence.”
ACTIVE: Sport Canterbury

and Community Groups
Strength and Balance project
leader Rebecca Logan are
encouraging men to think
about health.

National schools team call-up for Zoe
SPORTS
• By Jacob Page
ZOE MCMEEKEN is making the
right impression in her Halswell
14 premier boys football team,
with both national selectors and
the Mainland Pride taking notice.
Zoe has been named in the
under-15 secondary schools team
to travel to Sydney from July 8-14.
The team will play three games
against New South Wales age
group teams.
She is also part of the Mainland
Pride wider-training squad.
The 14-year-old winger has
been outflanking the boys for the
past three years and said playing
against them had only positive
effects on her game.
“I really enjoy it because they’re
a lot more physical when they go
in to challenge you and I think it
forces me to match it and protect
the ball more,” she said.
The Lincoln High School student
first started playing at age five
in a Rolleston ‘first kicks’ event.
A talented runner and crosscountry
athlete, it wasn’t until year
9 when football became her focus.
“I did enjoy running and crosscountry
and it’s helped me in my
position in football, but I enjoyed
the team aspect of football more
than being an individual in running,”
she said.
Zoe said she has aspirations to
become a Football Fern in the
future but she wanted to make the
most of every opportunity given
to her,
She said training alongside
players she looks up to and who
are twice her age has been a great
experience.
“I’m realistic that I don’t expect
to make the Pride squad this year
since I’m so young but I know the
trainings are making me a better
player,” she said.
As for the boys, they know what
to expect “I’ve been playing for
Halswell long enough that I think
they are used to me by now,” she
said.
IMPACT: Zoe McMeeken (right) looks to have a bright future in the sport after making the New
Zealand under-15 football team and the Mainland Pride wider-training squad.
Cashmere Club to host
Addington gym boxer’s
Golden Gloves’ challenge
POWER PUNCH: Sophie Mullally, with assistant coach Matt
Neale, is eager to make her presence felt at the South Island
Golden Gloves on Saturday.
• By Jacob Page
A SHOULDER injury three
years ago got Addington boxer
Sophie Mullally fixated on the
sport
Sophie has been training with
former national coach Phil Shatford
at Addington’s Riverside
Boxing Gym, and on Saturday
she is set to compete at the South
Island Golden Gloves at the
Cashmere Club.
Sophie said she has always
enjoyed physical sports so boxing
was a natural fit.
“I had a shoulder injury from a
game of rugby and (my dad) said
I should come to the gym and do
some boxing to try to rehab it,”
the former rugby flanker said.
“The shoulder got better the
more I trained with Phil and
then one day he asked if I wanted
to have an actual fight and I
thought I’d give it a go,” she said.
Sophie now has a six win, one
loss record in the under-54kg
class and has given up rugby.
“Boxing is my focus now and
I play a bit of touch rugby for
speed and fitness,” she said.
She said accepting you are
going to be hit in the face from
time-to-time was all part of the
sport.
“When it first happens, you
want to punch them back but, of
course, there’s the technique and
strategy you need to think about
during a round.”
The Templeton resident said
one of the biggest challenges was
finding girls in her weight-class
and age.
“I’m hopeful of a bout at South
Islands, even if I have to box
someone older or in a different
weight class – it’s all experience,”
she said.
Sophie’s aim is to win a national
title at the New Zealand
Golden Gloves event on October
3 at the Hornby Working Men’s
Club.

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.

Linwood Medical Centre, visit

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

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).
