Budding netballers meet their idols<br />
KEEN NETBALLERS from<br />
Somerfield, Amelie and Georgia<br />
Martin got up close and personal<br />
with team captains before an<br />
ANZ Premiership match last<br />
weekend.<br />
The Te Kura Wairepo School<br />
pupils won the opportunity to<br />
meet the team captains and<br />
lead the teams out onto centre<br />
court at the start of the match<br />
between the Northern Stars and<br />
the <strong>Southern</strong> Steel, during Super<br />
Sunday at Horncastle Arena.<br />
The event saw six teams<br />
in the competition travel to<br />
Christchurch to play on Sunday<br />
afternoon.<br />
Amelie, 10, has been playing<br />
netball for four years and hopes<br />
to play professionally when she’s<br />
older.<br />

LIQUORLAND IS appealing a<br />
District Licensing Committee<br />
decision that rejected its<br />
application to set up a new store<br />
in Phillipstown.<br />
Last month the committee<br />
declined the proposal to operate<br />
a bottle store on the corner of<br />
Ferry and Aldwins Rds because<br />
the area is “vulnerable” and already<br />
badly affected by alcoholrelated<br />
harm.<br />
The decision came after <strong>12</strong>1<br />
objections by health officials,<br />
residents, police and nearby<br />
Linwood College.<br />
The community rallied to<br />
stop the proposal because it<br />
was 50m from Thirsty Liquor,<br />
and close to several others, with<br />
my photo taken with them. My<br />
favourite player is Maria Folau<br />

Liquorland has asked the<br />
Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing<br />
Authority grant it leave<br />
to appeal, saying the original<br />
decision was “flawed and wrong<br />
at law.”<br />
It said the Liquorland was<br />
denied a fair hearing because the<br />

committee had pre-determined<br />
its position, and it failed<br />
to regard Liquorland’s<br />
evidence.<br />
Steve Crotty and Michael<br />
Scott, who also own Liquorland<br />

to open the Phillipstown store.<br />
They said it would also service<br />

Hill suburbs<br />
could get<br />
electric buses<br />
THE COUNTRY’S first fully<br />
electric bus service will be<br />
plugged into Christchurch early<br />
next year.<br />
And if the roll-out is successful,<br />
they could make their way to the<br />
city’s hill suburbs.<br />
Red Bus has purchased three<br />
electric buses as part of its commitment<br />
to gradually introducing<br />
new innovative technology across<br />
the public transport service.<br />
The new buses, which will be<br />
delivered by next March, will<br />
be used on the direct service<br />
route 29 between the CBD and<br />
Christchurch Airport which<br />
carries more than 200,000<br />
passengers annually.<br />
Red Bus chief executive Paul<br />
McNoe said it is interested in the<br />
potential for wider use of electric<br />
buses and will be testing the new<br />
buses on other routes – including<br />
hill suburbs – once they have settled<br />
into service.<br />
“Based on current use of a similar<br />
electric bus design in Sydney,<br />
Canberra, London and China<br />
we’ll be able to use them all day<br />
without needing a re-charge.”<br />
He said the buses will also<br />
have environmental and health<br />
benefits.<br />
