Keown’s 

gets his 

wish – 

Harewood 

intersection 

will be 

upgraded 


OUTSPOKEN CITY councillor 

Aaron Keown has got his wish – 

the contentious Breens, Harewood 

and Gardiners Rds intersection 

will be upgraded. 

Cr Keown said the news last 

week was a “huge weight off his 

shoulders” after campaigning to 

upgrade the intersection for more 

than two years. 

Previously Cr Keown offered 

$100 to anyone who could 

come forward and name 

another intersection in the city 

without lights that has 10 lanes 

converging. 

A report with several options to 

upgrade the intersection will go 

before the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board in 

September. 

In the mayor’s Long Term Plan 

recommendations released last 

week, Lianne Dalziel said city 

council staff would report back to 

the community board with one 

preferred upgrade option. 

However, in a meeting on 

Friday, Cr Keown fought for an 

amendment to the recommendation.

‘Disappointed’ board seeks MOE meeting 

Bid to change 

planned QE II 

school zone 


THE PAPANUI-Innes 

Community Board will invite 

the Ministry of Education to 

meet with it over the proposed 

enrolment zones for Shirley 

Boys and Avonside Girls’ High 

Schools. 

After writing 

to the MOE 

in May, the 

community 

board is 

“disappointed” 

by the 

response, said 

Ali Jones 

chairwoman 

Ali Jones. 

The schools 

will re-locate to a shared campus 

at QE II Park next year. 

The letter from the 

community board to the MOE 

outlined concerns that the 

suburbs of Richmond and 

Shirley were not included in the 

new draft zone. 

MOE deputy secretary sector 

enablement and support Katrina 

Casey replied on behalf of 

Minister of Education Chris 

Hipkins. 

Her letter “acknowledged that 

the post-quake period for people 

in the Christchurch area has 

been stressful, demanding 

and challenging for many 

families.” 

It said there was a consultation 

process, which was open to all 

members of the public affected 

by zone changes. Schools 

were then required to make a 

recommendation for a zone 

change to the MOE. 

Factors Ms Casey said were 

being considered included current 

and future student demographics, 

potential changes to 

residential areas, along with the 

schools’ recommendation. 

The community board will 

write another letter, inviting Ms 

Casey, MOE manager education 

Canterbury Sean Wheeler and 

director of education for Canterbury 

Coralanne Child to meet 

the board. 

“As the local community 

board, as a group that is well 

connected in the community, we 

were not invited to be part of the 

consultation process . . . we still 

want to address some issue that 

that letter raises that we don’t 

think have been satisfactory

answered,” said Ms Jones. 

Other concerns the board will 

address are the consultation 

process and how it was carried 

out during school holidays and 

only in the school environments, 

not beyond with the wider community. 

“We haven’t stopped the conversation 

there,” said Ms Jones. 

Said board member Jo Byrne: 

“There is a lot of people in our 

wards that are absolutely devastated 

by this.” 

“Decisions about the major 

high schools need to be 

managed more publicly and 

transparently.”

SPEED LIMIT CHANGES 

The speed limit on Cranford St and 

Main North Rd may change soon. 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board voted last week to reduce 

the speed limit from 60km/h to 

50km/h on the northern stretch of 

Cranford St and Main North Rd 

through to the Northcote Rd, Main 

North Rd, QE II Drive intersection. 

It comes after concerns about 

conflicting speed limits at the 

intersection. 

CRANFORD ST PLANS 

Cranford St may soon get even 

busier with plans approved to build 

a 24-unit residential complex. 

Newport Seventeen Holdings Ltd 

has been issued a resource consent 

from the city council to begin 

construction on a 2835 sq m site 

between 165-173 Cranford St. 

KENDAL AVE PARKING 

Parked vehicles at the Kendal Ave 

and Arlington St intersection, 

Burnside, are limiting driver visibility, 

forcing them to ‘nose out’ to 

see other cars. Public concern over 

the issue has led the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community 

Board to approve changes last week 

which will see no stopping restrictions 

installed on Kendal Ave, near 

the intersection, to minimise the 

problem.

Getting prisoners back on track 

Belfast’s 

Helen Murphy 

writes about 

working in 

the prisoner 

welfare and 

rehabilitation 

sector for 27 

years, which recently led to 

her becoming a member of 

the New Zealand Order of 

Merit 

A FORMER partner’s time 

behind bars was the catalyst 

for a lifetime of service for 

me to help former prisoners 

reintegrate into society. 

I understand the shame a 

prisoner feels and also their 

families as well. 

I have spent the last 10 years 

working for the Prisoners’ Aid 

and Rehabilitation Society in 

Christchurch. 

Prisoners are often subject to 

being degraded and told they 

have no value in society. 

Without help on the outside, 

prisoners often find themselves 

stuck in the system. 

My latest work has involved 

helping those forced to come 

back to New Zealand from 

Australia because of their 

criminal past. 

HELP: Helen Murphy has worked in the prisoner welfare and rehabilitation sector for 27 

years. 

A recent tightening of 

regulations in Australia has 

led to spiralling numbers of 

people being deported, many 

for apparently minor offences, 

and PARS is group which helps 

offenders returning to New 

Zealand. I lead the Christchurch 

branch of the organisation. 

About 22 deportees have 

arrived in Christchurch alone 

since January and about 200 

since 2014, when Australia 

brought in legislation allowing 

New Zealanders jailed for 12 

months or more to be 

deported. 

The grief that these people 

feel on their arrival is huge. 

They’ve often been in Australia 

since they were teenagers, and 

here they are arriving in New 

Zealand. 

It’s a hugely different culture, 

plus the grief of leaving families 

behind makes it very difficult. 

On a personal note, I 

have lived in Belfast for nearly 

43 years in the same house and 

my three children grew up here 

and went to Belfast Primary 

School. 

I was also a member of the 

crew which helped in the 

fight to keep the community 

swimming pool open, and was 

even a lifeguard for one season. 

I have seen many changes 

over the years in Belfast, and 

the little village I first came to 

live in has under gone a huge 

transformation. 

Readers respond to an 

article about the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board granting 

funding to Te Ora Hou 

Otautahi 

Clive Paris – I am writing 

in support of Sam MacDonald’s 

stance opposing funding of Te 

Ora Hou and am surprised that 

the other community board 

members did not support 

him. 

I think the community board 

has missed the point regarding 

the funding of Te Ora Hou. 

The mission of Te Ora Hou is 

not in dispute and its aims are 

meritorious and valuable to the 

community it resides in. 

However, where our 

community board has erred is in 

directing further funding to 

this national based organisation. 

Te Ora Hou has based in 

Whangarei, Gisborne, Hastings, 

Whanganui, Wellington and 

Christchurch.

Since 2015, Te Ora Hou (Otautahi) has 

received funding from the city council of 

$246,108. That is ratepayer money. Now 

the community board has just bumped 

that figure to $266,108. 

Why is this a local community board 

issue now when in the past it has been 

dealt with by city council and why is this 

not an issue dealt with by Government? 

Is this a guilt trip by the community 

board and has it taken the easy way out 

and made the grant? For the deputy 

chairman Aaron Campbell to state 

“there are no other options right now, 

the Government is not in that space,” 

when in fact it is exactly in that space and 

has so stated that mental health issues, 

housing and anti-social behaviour were 

platforms for its election campaign. 

This organisation services all of 

Christchurch and the surrounding areas 

where possible. Was the question asked

No extra pollution monitoring 

on Cranford St, Innes Rd – ECan 


ENVIRONMENT Canterbury 

will not be looking into air 

pollution concerns in the 

Cranford St and Innes Rd area. 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board wrote to ECan 

in May asking whether its air 

quality monitoring station in 

Coles Pl, St Albans, was a reliable 

source of data on air quality in 

the northern end of Cranford St. 

A concerned St Albans 

resident wrote to the board with 

fears the area could become 

heavily polluted when the 

Christchurch Northern Corridor 

opens. It is estimated to create a 

30 per cent increase in traffic for 

Cranford St and the surrounding 

area. 

The community board wants 

the appropriate data logged so 

when the CNC opens, there will 

be data to compare it to. 

ECan said a limited amount 

of data was obtained by the 

city council and New Zealand 

Transport Agency in 2010 for the 

CNC and Cranford St upgrade 

resource consent. 

“ECan will not be providing 

any temporary air quality monitoring 

of the Cranford St area 

in the foreseeable future,” said 

programme manager strategic 

DIRTY AIR: ECan will not look into concerns over future air 

pollution from the Christchurch Northern Corridor. 

programmes Sam Elder. 

Mr Elder said comparative 

data is not necessary to identify 

if standards are being exceeded. 

As a result of the latest letter, 

community board chairwoman 

Ali Jones said her position on the 

matter has changed. 

“Having baseline readings 

won’t achieve anything when 

it comes to challenging any 

exceedances. If there are exceedances 

along that stretch (of road) 

then they have to be remedied, 

that’s just end of story,” she said. 

The board plans to write back 

to ECan, requesting the baseline 

data recorded in 2010, so it can 

have it on file. 

ECan said the Coles Pl air 

quality monitoring station is 

designed to measure concentrations 

of air pollutants and is not 

designed to monitor a specific 

street, although emissions on a 

nearby street may be picked up. 

Keown gets his wish 

•From page 1 

Cr Keown wants several 

options included in the report, 

and one has to include traffic 

lights. His amendment was 

approved and supported by city 

councillor Jamie Gough. 

The contentious intersection 

sees 10 lanes converging and was 

a popular topic in LTP hearings. 

LTP submissions on the issue 

came from the community board, 

local school principals, pupils and 

parents. Funding will come from 

the LTP budget, which is set to be 

confirmed today. 

If the option selected by the 

community board costs more 

than is budgeted for in the LTP, 

a further report will come back 

to city council by the end of 

October. The funding could 

be moved around from other 

Edgeware Pool gets boost 

•From page 1 

St Albans Pool and Pavilion 

Group chairman Paul Somerville 

was surprised to hear about the 

funding, saying support from 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board helped to promote the 

development. 

“We weren’t expecting the city 

council to put money in, but the 

community board got behind 

it and put it in their plan, they 

budgets. 

During the LTP hearings, Ms 

Dalziel said installing traffic 

lights may not be the answer 

to make the intersection safer. 

She said often lights can bring 

an undesired outcome, making 

the intersection busier and, as a 

result, potentially more unsafe. 

Cr Keown believes the public 

wants traffic lights. 

“Staff could come back with 

something marvellous and 

brilliant that the public have 

never even thought of. But 

I haven’t seen anything like 

that yet. I haven’t heard any 

suggestions that I think the 

public would like.” 

He believes now is the time 

to motivate the community to 

engage with the board about what 

they want for the intersection. 

supported us by putting in their 

own submission. It was brilliant 

of them,” he said. 

Mr Somerville said the group 

will continue to raise money. If 

it raises a sufficient amount, it 

hoped the city council might consider 

advancing the money.

Home & Leisure Show this weekend 

Food and drink 

tasting plus 

fantastic prizes 

THE STAR Media Home & 

Leisure Show promises to be the 

best yet. 

Celebrating its 20th year of 

supporting local businesses, 

the event has an extra special 

flavour this time around with a 

unique tasting corner. 

Event manager Vanessa Fleming 

is super-enthused about the 

new addition, which reflects the 

importance of leisure in people’s 

lives these days. 

“There will be a wide range 

of food and drink products to 

sample, which people can then 

go home and recreate in their 

own kitchens,” she says. 

And with the latest in kitchen 

innovations and products on 

display, it’s a chance to get creative 

in all aspects of life. 

Said Star Media chief executive 

Steve McCaughan: “I am 

very excited about the new elements 

we have introduced with

Arterial 

design 

delayed 


THE PAPANUI-Innes 

Community Board has delayed 

its decision on the final design for 

the Northern Arterial extension. 

At a meeting last week, the 

board decided to table the decision 

and will meet with city 

council staff to go over issues it 

has with the designs. 

Board chairwoman Ali Jones 

said the board needed more time 

to make a decision as it still had 

several questions. 

“It felt like we were potentially 

going to go around in circles and 

it was better to lay it out on the 

table.” 

The decision involves the 

Northern Arterial extension, the 

northern part of the Cranford 

St upgrade (the section between 

McFaddens Rd north to the 

Northern Arterial junction), the 

Cranford-Innes intersection and 

surrounding streets. 

The board will meet with city 

council staff behind closed doors 

to discuss questions it has. 

“It won’t be a public forum 

. . . we are still trying to sort out 

some of the information and it’s 

not fair to put information that 

hasn’t been confirmed out into the 

public arena. 

David Hall 

IMPROVING social 

connections within the 

community has led two 

volunteers to be recognised for 

their efforts. 

Bishopdale Community 

Trust’s David Hall and Age 

Concern’s Douglas Shepherd 

were two of 27 people and five 

groups to receive awards at Volunteer 

Canterbury’s volunteer 

recognition awards last week. 

Award recipients were nominated 

by community not-forprofit 

organisations. 

In his nomination, 

it said Mr Hall is one 

of the longest serving 

members of the 

Bishopdale Community 

Trust. 

“His knowledge of 

the trust, its activities 

and its history is of huge 

value in ensuring that Sundbye 

Community House effectively 

delivers its services to the local 

community,” said the nomination. 

Mr Hall set up the 

trust’s computer systems 

and uses his specialist IT 

skills to maintain them, 

including undertaking 

staff training. 

Mr Shepherd’s contribution 

to Age Concern in 

Papanui since 2009 has 

been “invaluable” said his nomination. 

He is a volunteer driver for the 

senior citizen group, which ensures 

regular attendance 

at social outings for those 

who otherwise couldn’t 

get there. 

“Doug is reliable and 

dedicated, often assisting 

at short notice, and 

always with a sense of 

humour. He also assists 

with delivery of the 

organisation’s magazine 

and at home, with his wife 

Margaret, hosts some of the Age 

Concern seniors for afternoon

Isleworth pupils up 

SCHOOLS 

close with longfin eels 


EVERY TIME we put the brakes 

on or are cleaning our cars 

in the driveway, we could be 

putting pollutants into streams 

which may affect the wildlife. 

That’s what year 5 and 6 

Isleworth School pupils are 

learning through a project 

called ‘Te Tuna Tāone – Urban 

Eel’. 

Run by the Working Waters 

Trust and Enviroschools Canterbury, 

the pupils learnt about 

longfin eels. 

Trust project manager Sophie 

Allen said the project focuses 

on helping improve the quality 

of stormwater and the stream 

habitats where urban eels live. 

Ms Allen said the north-west 

area of the city would have had 

a lot of clean springs for the species 

in the past. 

“Now sadly, it is listed as ‘at 

risk-declining’ by the Department 

of Conservation species 

classification system, and our 

urban eels have pollutants coming 

into the streams such as 

pesticides, zinc from unpainted 

galvanised roofs, and detergents 

from washing your car on your 

drive.” 

Ms Allen said many people 

don’t realise the water draining 

from roofs and roads is going 

UP CLOSE LOOK: Isleworth School pupils got to see longfin 

eels at Styx Mill Conservation Reserve.

into streams. 

The pupils visited the Styx 

Mill Conservation Reserve last 

week where Ms Allen said they 

“squealed in delight” seeing the 

eels up close. 

“The important next step will 

be for the pupils to choose actions 

they wish to undertake to 

help these local longfin eels.” 

Some ideas for actions from 

the pupils include planting 

native plans along streams, 

creating artwork around gutters 

to tell people they drain into 

streams, and becoming local 

stormwater pollution detectives. 

Their actions could also 

include creating special housing 

for eels called ‘tuna townhouses’, 

similar to those in the Avon 

River. 

GLOBAL: A Selwyn House team placed third in an international 

problem solving competition with their initiative to get people 

using cycleways. 

Problem-solvers US win 


SELWYN HOUSE pupils 

have taken their Let’s Bike 

Christchurch initiative to the 

United States to finish third in 

an international problem-solving 

competition. 

A team of nine pupils travelled 

to La Crosse, Wisconsin to 

compete in the future problemsolving 

international conference. 

The team was third in the middle 

division of the community 

problem-solving section. They 

were required to find an issue in 

the community and work find a 

solution. 

Stemming from a class project, 

the group of year 7 and 8 pupils 

wanted to promote the city’s cycleways 

by creating bike cut-outs, 

which are then decorated and 

hidden in places along the cycle 

routes. 

For the competition, the team 

had to create a written report, 

video and take part in an interview. 

Previously the team took the 

idea to the city council’s infrastructure, 

transport and environment 

committee. 

Those who find the bike cutouts 

while cycling can upload a 

photo of themselves holding it 

to social media with the hashtag 

#letsbikechch for a chance to win 

prizes. 

The pupils drew inspiration for 

their project from the Pokemon 

Go app and a public art project in 

2014 where 99 giraffe sculptures 

were placed around the city.

Christchurch Intermediate 

Schools 

Specialists in Year 7 and Year 8 Education 

OPEN NIGHTS 2018 

Intermediate schools target the needs of 

early adolescent Year 7 & 8 students - 

11-13 year olds. These two-year, co-educational 

schools are in many ways ideal environments 

for students to begin their adventures into 

adolescence. 

Early adolescence is a unique and special time 

of immense physical, intellectual, emotional 

and social development. These changes 

create specific needs and challenges that are 

significantly different from the needs of younger 

children or older adolescents. 

An intermediate school can support your Year 7 & 

8 child in ways that include but are not limited to: 

• The staff are all focussed on the needs of 

early adolescents and teach in these schools 

because they establish strong relationships 

and particularly enjoy working with Year 7 & 8 

students. They are highly qualified, experienced 

and skilled teachers of early adolescent 

students, who ensure pastoral, social and 

emotional needs are well supported. 

• The resources are all designed and acquired 

to meet the needs of this age group - age 

Intermediates are exciting places for students to 

begin their adventure into adolescence. In addition 

to providing a rich, age and stage, middle-yearsspecific 

curriculum in a stimulating, challenging and 

rewarding environment, intermediates cater for many 

interest groups and clubs. 

It is not surprising that New Zealand and overseas 

research concludes that the quality of teaching is 

one of the most significant factors influencing how 

well students learn at school. Given that quality 

teaching occurs in most New Zealand schools 

regardless of their type, it’s only natural to consider 

other factors that might make a difference for early 

adolescents. 

The young people at intermediates are changing 

rapidly – physically, emotionally and socially. 

Intermediates focus solely on this age group and 

are well positioned to meet their needs. A mix 

of specialist and home room teachers helps to 

provide the choices, challenge, love for practical 

activities and academic rigour in the students’ 

learning. Resourcing, both human and physical, that 

is developed deliberately to meet early adolescent 

student needs, helps to build self esteem, assist 

students to develop and find strengths and links 

learning with career aspirations. Teachers who are 

focussed solely on the middle years are able to work 

collaboratively to provide level-appropriate engaging 

appropriate experiences, opportunities and 

challenges are planned for and provided. 

• Leadership development focuses on 

opportunities for students to develop the 

important skills associated with leading their peers 

- people their own age. 

• Secure and supportive yet challenging 

environments are provided to support students 

to develop their independence. 

• Students thrive on the opportunity to step up. 

• Specialist teaching opportunities enable 

students to receive age appropriate and 

challenging learning in technology, science, 

performing arts and visual arts. 

• Significant home group environments support 

strong literacy and numeracy programmes 

differentiated in creative ways to meet students’ 

individual needs - all students are extended 

and the focus is on accelerating progress. 

The intermediate schools in Christchurch work 

closely together to collectively provide a wide 

range of extracurricular opportunities for students 

in sporting, cultural and academic contexts. 

programmes that connect learning to students’ lives 

and interests and provide challenge for all students 

to achieve to the best of their ability. 

Current intermediate school students list these 

points: 

1. “There are more children of my own age here 

because our school takes all the year sixes from a 

few different schools and they come to one school. 

And because we’ve got bigger numbers of pupils 

we can have more sports teams and … there’s 

something for everyone” Y8 child 

2. “Our school has different specialist teachers for 

subjects like music art, P.E. and technology, so we 

get used to that – which is good preparation for 

secondary school” Y7 girl 

3. “At intermediate school everything is for our two 

years (age group).” Y8 girl 

4. “I like that we don’t have to look out for little 

children. That was neat at our old (primary) school 

but it’s nice to just have our own age here. Y7 boy 

5. “It’s good that we don’t have big secondary kids 

here. We can worry about them when we’re older… 

and then we’ll be big too. Y8 boy

Currie steps closer 

ATHLETIC: St Andrews College goalkeeper Blair Currie hopes 

she can push her claims for a spot in the New Zealand under-17 

World Cup team, 

PHOTO: ST ANDREW’S COLLEGE 

to football goals 

• By Jacob Page 

ST ANDREW’S football 

captain Blair Currie knows 

making the New Zealand 

under-17 football talent ID 

squad gets her one step closer to 

her 2018 goals. 

The 17-year-old goalkeeper is 

eager to force her way in to the 

national squad for the under-17 

World Cup in Uruguay in 

November. 

Then she wants to pursue 

a football scholarship in the 

United States or Europe. 

“It’s such a thrill to be named 

in this squad,” she said. 

“It’s something I’ve been 

working towards for a very long 

time. 

“This gets me a step closer 

to the World Cup and one day 

playing for the Football Ferns. 

Currie is one of four 

Canterbury players named in 

the squad with Macey Fraser, 

Jayda Stewart and Marisa van 

der Meer also getting their 

chance. 

Currie, who transferred to 

Cashmere Technical from 

Waimakariri United at the start 

of the season, said she initially 

played the outfield as a six-yearold 

after spending a season 

trying rugby. 

“I used to watch my dad play 

masters on the weekend so 

thought I’d give it a try.” 

It wasn’t until she was 13 

when she gave goalkeeping her 

full focus. 

“I’d always ask the coaches if 

I could give it a go and I really 

loved it when the goalkeeper 

was away,” she said. “Eventually 

I just did it all the time.” 

Currie is also part of the 

Mainland Pride wider training 

squad. An opportunity to train 

with the best senior players in 

the region was something she 

thrived on. 

“There’s always plenty to 

work on but I have training 

most days after school so it 

gives me a chance to really 

improve.” 

The under-17 squad will have 

more training sessions together 

before the World Cup squad is 

announced before November. 

Wilson earns bronze at Oceania champs 


THE DISCOVERY of his dad’s 

old table tennis bat in the depths 

of the family garage when he 

was seven led Alex Wilson to his 

passion for the sport. 

The 17-year-old St Andrew’s 

College student made the most 

of his New Zealand 

under-18 table tennis 

call-up with two 

bronze medals in two 

events in Rarotonga. 

Wilson finished 

third in doubles at the 

Oceania Championships 

and then backed 

that up with another 

medal in the Cook 

Islands Open. 

“It’s a team that I’ve 

trialled for in the past and 

always been part of the wider 

squad but to be part of the team 

itself was a fun experience. 

“I felt like I was progressing 

well over time and my overall 

game was getting better and 

I thought this year, with some 

of the older players moving on, 

that I could make the team.” 

Alex Wilson 

During the January to 

September competition season, 

Wilson trains five days a 

week at the Canterbury Table 

Tennis Association’s facility on 

Blenheim Rd. 

He also plays for the Lincoln 

University club once a week. 

Wilson said after playing 

against his dad initially 

to see if he liked the 

sport, he soon realised 

he was hooked. 

“Dad helped me try 

it out and I’ve been 

playing ever since,” 

he said. “I’ve always 

enjoyed how global the 

sport is - to me, there 

aren’t many countries 

in the world where you 

can go too and play.” 

Wilson said his 

university studies next year 

were likely to affect the amount 

of time he could devote to the 

sport, but he was keen to keep 

playing. 

“This is my last year in the 

junior ranks so from next year 

I’ll be playing in the open grade 

against men.”

PROMINENT Cantabrians 

have given a mixed response to 

the possible futuristic look of 

Cathedral Square. 

Plans for what the Square 

could look like were released 

by Regenerate Christchurch 

yesterday after seven years of 

debate and controversy over the 

slow progress of the rebuild. 

It includes three covered 

pavilions, which would have 

a “lattice-style” translucent 

roof, which could host markets 

and other events. 

FUTURISTIC: Plans released yesterday show what Cathedral Square could look like. 

The long-term vision, which is 

estimated to cost between $60- 

$80 million, aims to bring people 

back into the area, through a 

series of interconnected public 

spaces. 

The vision for the Square also 

includes Cathedral Gardens 

with trees and water features,

and meeting spaces, and Library

areas.

City councillor Deon Swiggs

“We’ve got to look at what is

A CON man who tells his 

intended victims he will harm 

their families if they don’t pay up 

may face a bigger problem than 

the law – gangs. 

Police have received 19 complaints 

from Christchurch people 

targeted by the sinister scam. It 

involves phone 

calls and texts to 

victims who are 

told the caller is 

from the Mongrel 

Mob, Highway 61 

or Black Power. 

Pay up or your 

family members, Greg 

including elderly Newbold 

parents, will be 

attacked, the caller says. 

But it appears the con man is 

not connected to the gangs, just 

using their names to put fear into 

the intended victims. 

Canterbury University criminologist 

Greg Newbold said yesterday 

the gangs would be “filthy”. 

“All I can say is he’s got a death 

wish,” he said. 

“They will be absolutely p***ed 

off. Anybody who impersonates 

a gang member is committing a 

serious crime against the gang.” 

Prof Newbold said the perpetrator 

could get a “hiding” for that 

alone.

A CONVICTED killer is back 

behind bars after a spectacular

John Oliver Jamieson’s Subaru 

Forester crashed through the 

Rolleston dog park fence on 

Saturday. 

A spear-like fence post

Miraculously Jamieson and the 

woman were unhurt. 

He had earlier been recorded 

driving at 180km/h on State 

Highway 1. 

A cut-down rifle was later 

found by police in the vehicle. 

Startled dog walkers said 

Jamieson ran a short distance 

from the vehicle before stopping 

to see if the woman in the vehicle 

was okay. 

Police arrived soon after and 

he was apprehended.

Big chance for teen touch referee 

SPORTS 


CHRIST’S COLLEGE’S Will 

Hutchinson will officiate at the 

touch rugby youth World Cup in 

Malaysia in August. 

The 18-year-old will be joined 

by fellow Cantabrian Cameron 

Wootton in the nine-strong Kiwi 

squad. 

Hutchinson started refereeing 

as a 12-year-old when a friend of 

his mum’s asked if anyone knew 

of someone who could referee 

social touch rugby games. 

He is now ranked No 13 in the 

country. 

“I love the sport and the friendship 

that comes from it. This is a 

chance to push myself to make 

the open World Cup,” he said. 

“The sport has allowed me to 

travel internationally, largely for 

free, and those opportunities are 

one of the great things about the 

sport.” 

He said he was looking forward 

to experiencing the international 

flavour of play and it has been a

strong motivator for him to work 

hard on his preparation and fitness 

over the winter months. 

Wootton, 18, started refereeing 

four years ago and has since 

earned his level four badge, the 

highest on offer for an official. 

The Lincoln High student has 

controlled games at the junior, 

secondary school and open 

national level, as well as the Australian 

juniors. 

Wootton said this would be a 

major step-up. 

“It’s going to be a lot of fun to 

be out there with a whole lot of 

new countries, new styles and being 

able to see where I stack up,” 

he said. 

Another positive of the 

appointment is that some of 

Wootton’s mum’s family lives in 

Malaysia, which means a family 

reunion is in the works. 

He said as he has risen through 

the ranks, he has a new found 

appreciation for how fast the 

game is. 

“It makes you appreciate the 

level of skill on display and 

makes me work hard at my fitness 

to keep up,” he said. 

Wootton said he would like to 

gain an appointment at the open 

World Cup next year and he saw 

this trip as an opportunity to 

prove he was up to that level. 

The duo both agreed the sport 

could do with more young referees, 

especially as they enter the 

open ranks for the first time in 

the coming months,

The team now sits fith on

SECONDARY SCHOOL SELECTION 

State of the art campus opens next year 

Construction of the new campus for 

Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High 

Schools is progressing rapidly with 

opening on track for 2019. 

The new campus will feature a Performing 

Arts Centre with a 750-seat theatre and a 

100-seat theatre, a hockey turf, four sports 

fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café, 

and a large library and learning centre. 

Both Avonside Girls’ High School 

Principal Sue Hume and Shirley Boys’ 

Headmaster John Laurenson are excited 

by the progress. 

“You can finally see that all we have been 

talking about and dreaming about is taking 

shape. We will be onsite with our students, 

staff and community making the most of 

all of the fantastic new facilities before we 

know it,” says Sue Hume. 

John Laurenson says the progress is 

impressive. 

“We went through the site recently and 

it was actually a little emotional to stand 

in what will be our new school for the first 

time - it signals the end of all the hard times 

the earthquakes brought. Already you can 

see this will be a very well-resourced and 

impressive campus.” 

The campus is due to open in Term 

Two of 2019. It will be the first time in 

New Zealand’s modern history that two 

well established and successful single sex 

schools are being rebuilt side by side. Both 

schools will retain their single sex identity, 

providing learning tailored to boys and 

girls and continuing to develop their 

unique values. 

John Laurenson says the move has 

enabled the schools to offer students more. 

“Because we’re building together, we’ve 

been able to build bigger and better 

facilities.” 

Sue Hume says being side by side will also 

enable better educational opportunities. 

“We’ll collaborate on teaching 

some senior subjects, so we can offer 

students wider choice and there’s also 

the opportunity to work together on 

co-curricular opportunities – such as 

productions, and sports competitions. 

This move will increase the opportunities 

we can offer our students – both in and out 

of the classroom.”

The firs time I woke up with a cold nose in my brand 

new home, I wa shocked. How could this be? The 

cool, calm, co lected one and I had planned for our 

home to be we l insulated against Canterbury’s 

cold winters. Turns out, not we l enough. We’d 

even assured a we l-meaning friend we had ample 

insulation (yes, Duncan, you were right). I’ve worked out where we 

fe l short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected 

Christchurch architec the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little 

Port Hi l site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley. 

Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bough them and 

employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living a the time, to 

prepare the construction drawings and specifications. Compared to 

Australia, the R values for insulation would have looked high. Our 

talented young builder, Sam McCarthy, would never have queried 

the levels because they were standard practice around town. So it 

wasn’t until we were living in the house and I consulted Council’s 

eco design advisor Julie Vi lard about how we could warm it up that 

we discovered, while we unwittingly thought we had exceeded New 

Zealand standard, we had merely met Code. And that ain’t going to 

cut it in our climate. 

Fortunately Julie had plenty of ideas on how we could improve 

the situation and we have easy access to our underfloor to top-up 

the insulation. Julie Vi lard, an architect from France, is on a mission 

to transform building best practice here and you can read abou the 

groundbreaking ideas she’s applied to her own brand new build on 

page 20. 

I’ve shared the highs and lows of building with the other home 

builders and renovators I interviewed and, like Diane (page 36), would 

relish doing it again. I was struck by how a l the home owner said 

what they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to 

“rea ly listen” to their wants and needs. I was also impressed by how 

much Christchurch people love a good garage! We’ve got some ideas 

for some top of their class cars to complement yours on page 81 and 

how to quickly establish a lawn on page 72. 

We review a l the lates trends in everyone’s favourite room – 

the kitchen (page 48), and share an easy yet impressive recipe for 

entertaining friends in your fabulous new home on page 77. 

I hope Peter Beaven would be pleased with how the cool, calm, 

collected one and I realised his dream. Go chase yours people!

Speaking to the NZ Institute of Architects about ‘bespoke 

architecture’ being a ‘minority pursuit’ not long before his death 

Peter said “I am going to try to prove that it’s possible to build 

modestly and cheaply with a little house for ourselves. It’s going to 

be sustainable and it’s going to be beautiful and it’s going to be just 

cheap – no more than an ordinary spec house. I’ l prove that it can 

be done, and it might be the las thing I prove.”
