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.”

Rapaki 

not 

spared 

in ECan’s 

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 

has long had an 

odour problem, 

with many of 

the previous 

complaints having

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.

and Westmorland’s new 

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 

mains pipes, which had a diameter 

of 450mm. 

A new pump

Halswell Ward councillor 

Anne Galloway said the

the area and praised workers for 

delivering the project on time. 

“Having it means pressure is 

taken off ageing infrastructure

Council senior project manager

A new water supply main 

through the Sutherlands Rd corridor

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

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 

waves lapping at Scarborough’s 

steps. 

It’s just after 7am on a Friday 

morning, and there’s an autumn 

chill in the air. 

Eight others have joined her 

this morning, including firsttimer 

Robin Dawson who has 

driven over from Lyttelton. 

The group down Coffee 

Culture takeaways before 

shedding their puffer jackets and 

wading out gingerly, chatting 

amongst themselves. 

There’s no squealing or 

shouting as one by one they 

disappear under the 12 deg 

C water, some freestyling off 

towards the tangerine horizon. 

In 10min they’re all back, 

climbing up the stairs to dry off 

and carry on with their day. 

“It’s bracing,” grins Robin, who 

has a few triathlons under his 

belt. 

And though the weather isn’t 

always so kind, most of the 

group will be back next Friday. 

They’re hard core. 

The Scarborough Dippers 

started last July when Kerry, an 

accountant, decided instead of 

‘Dry July’ she’d do ‘Wet July.’ 

She and a small group of 

friends pledged to swim every 

morning for the entire month.

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 

‘deep lift asphalt’. This is a 

CHRISTCHURCH South 

Toy Library is taking part in a 

national toy library awareness 

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

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. 

The decision now lies in the 

hands of councillors who will approve 

the final LTP in June. 

Bus patronage has not fully recovered 

following the February 22, 

2011, earthquake.

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.”

chief executive Julyan Falloon

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

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).
