NEW BRIGHTON businesses
and residents are pleading for the
iconic annual fireworks event to
stay in the suburb.
The New Brighton Guy Fawkes
event has come under scrutiny
from the city council as part of
a city-wide review of all councilrun
events.
City council head of community
support, governance and
partnerships John Filsell said for
a number of years it has received
feedback on traffic
management
congestion.
He said it is a
health and safety
issue due to New
Brighton having
limitations on
its entry and exit
points.
John Filsell
At the time of the event, the
city council is required to only
have north and south exits out
of the area, with a central New
Brighton exit dedicated to a bus
service for 30min following the
event.
“The road works in this area
over the years have also added to
the congestion difficulties. With
a mass egress at the conclusion
of the event contributing to the
disruption,” Mr Filsell said.

should have the expertise to
manage the issues.

His views were backed by Bin
Inn New Brighton owner Nikki
Griffin, who said it should be an
issue that can be resolved.
“How many years have they
had the same issue and not bothered
about it?” she said.
The fireworks display has been
running at the pier since it was
opened in 1997.
Mrs Griffin said if the event
was taken away, it would be another
blow for the east and show
a “lack of commitment from the
city council” to an area “already
neglected.”
New Brighton Museum secretary
Peggy Butterfield said she
would be very disappointed if
the fireworks event was moved
away, but was supportive of it
being held at Matariki.

I SMELL a rat.
And it’s the city council’s murmurings
over Guy Fawkes (page 1).
The odour is the comment from city
council head of community support,
governance and partnerships (now that’s a
long title) John Filsell over traffic management at the event.
He’s talking congestion and mentions there is limitations on
the roads in and out of New Brighton.
New Brighton needs the fireworks display. It’s a great event
and there is a real buzz about it.
If the council continues to chest beat about revitalising
Brighton it won’t touch the event. But I think it will try.
And speaking of roads in and out of Brighton, what will happen
in the event of a tsunami?
That’s real food for thought.

Warning over clock tower danger
No public entry
while repairs
under way
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PEOPLE attempting to break
into the earthquake-damaged
New Brighton clock tower
are putting themselves in a
potentially dangerous situation,
warns the city council.
The clock tower is surrounded
by scaffolding and has fencing
around it, but that has not
stopped some people from
trying to gain entry.
City council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said the
clock tower has been fenced off
because engineers are working
to determine how much damage
it sustained in the earthquakes,
and what needs to be done to
fix it.
“It is not safe for the public to
be in (the clock tower), which
is why we have got it fenced off.
Our concern is that if someone
does try to break in while the
repair work is under way, they
could find themselves in a
potentially dangerous situation,’’
Mr Rutledge said.
It comes as progress is well
PROGRESS: Repairs have started on the New Brighton clock
tower.
under way on the clock tower’s
earthquake and historical
repairs. On Thursday the clock
faces were removed.
Over the past few weeks,
contractors have been loosening
each face and removing
components.
City council community
capital delivery manager Darren
Moses said as the clock faces are
very fragile due to corrosion,
their removal has been carefully
planned. Each part was labelled
so they be can return to their
original location.
It is believed to be the first
time the clock faces have been
restored since the clock tower
was built in the 1930s.
Mr Moses said the scaffolding
will be amended and covered for
weather protection this week.
Shortly afterwards, a
contractor will remove the lead
paint from the entire structure.
Investigations by structural
engineers into the damage the
tower sustained have revealed
corrosion as a result of historic
water damage.
There is also significant
damage to large sections of
concrete in the tower and poor
quality concrete cover in the
internal floor. Both elements will
require replacing.
The clock tower floors
may also need replacing
and the concrete around its
faces is in poor condition, most
likely caused by corroding cast
iron.
The Sumner Scarborough
clock tower is also under repair
and has had attempted break-ins
as well.

PEOPLE OPPOSED to recent
changes to the bus routes in the
eastern suburbs will get another
chance to have their say.
The Greater Christchurch Public
Transport Joint Committee
will put out the draft Regional
Public Transport Plan for consultation
later this year.
This will be an opportunity for
communities to have their say
on the future shape of the bus
network, including the long-term
vision, priorities and action plan.
Following adoption of the
RPTP, detailed consultation at a
bus route level will occur early
next year.
It comes as a public meeting
was held in New Brighton to
gauge concern over the new bus
route changes.
About 60 people attended the
meeting last Monday to discuss
the latest changes Environemtn
Canterbury has implemented as
part of its Long Term Plan.
Christchurch East MP Poto
Williams said there is a group of
concerned people who now have
an opportunity to collectively
work on the next part of the
Second chance for bus feedback
process.
Key concerns raised at the
meeting included the ability
for residents reliant on the bus
services to get to doctor
appointments, shopping
centres and work.
It comes after ECan
confirmed it would combine
the 135 Burwood
Hospital and 150 The
Palms bus routes in
June.
The new bus route
will now stop at the
Taiora: QE II Recreation
and Sport Centre and no
Philip
Haythornthwaite
longer travel into New Brighton.
The consistency and quality of
bus stops in the area was raised
by Disabled Persons Assembly
Christchurch and Districts
president Philip Haythornthwaite.
He told Pegasus Post if
the bus stops are not up
to scratch they can affect
patronage.
An example was a bus
stop recently installed
on Stanmore Rd outside
Kora Kitchens.
Mr Haythornthwaite
said the footpath is “deeply
angled” and if you were to push
a wheelchair there was potential
for it to fall over.
City council transport operations
manager Ryan Rolston said
staff are working with a contractor
to rectify the grade issue
at Stanmore Rd and should be
resolved in two weeks.
What could be done to improve
ECan’s submission process
and make its website more “userfriendly”
was also discussed.
Senior public transport manager
Stewart Gibbon said ECan
is looking at how the submission
process could be improved.
Butcher parks up in Marshland
A MOBILE butcher has started
parking up on Marshland Rd
each weekend.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder has expanded his
business by setting up a
moveable butchery from a small
truck.
Mr Winder, who has been a
butcher since he was 19-yearsold,
said the reaction has been
“amazing.”
“People have just been blown
away by it,” he said.
The idea for the mobile butchery
came from residents’ requests
to have a shop in other places.
“I thought, well, it’s not that
easy to open a butcher shop, so
I’ll see if I can get a mobile one
going,” Mr Winder said.
He is selling the same products
found in the Elite Meats store in
Bush Inn.
“If we haven’t got it on the
truck, then we take orders and
we take the order out of whatever
they want the following week,”
Mr Winder said.
In March, Mr Winder was
named in the all star team at
the World Butchers’ Challenge
in Northern Ireland. His
team, the Pure South Sharp
Blacks, finished second in the
competition.
The mobile butcher will
be open outside Vegeland on
Marshland Rd on weekends
from 9am-5.30pm, and outside
the South Point complex in Faringdon,
Rolleston, on Thursdays
from 2-6.30pm.
“It’s one of those things, we’re
trying to take small steps to get
it right rather than rushing out
to all these different places,” Mr
Winder said.
UNIQUE: Elite Meats owner Corey Winder has opened his own
mobile butcher shop which he parks up on Marshland Rd each
weekend.

Archery club’s plan for new
Rawhiti facility hits a snag
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A “PRESSING need” to build
a year- round weather facility
to support archery at Rawhiti
Domain continues to be put on
hold.
The Christchurch Archery
Club has been battling for more
than three years to have its lease
at Rawhiti Domain renewed by
the city council.
While the lease is not up for
renewal until 2021, the club is
planning a $350,000 extension
to its current facility and “desperately”
needs to secure a lease
for the next 20 years.
A letter was presented to the
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board last week on the issue. The
club’s past president and facilities
convener Bill Skews said it
has been trying to get the lease
secured for the past three years.
Mr Skews said it has been
based at the domain for more
than 25 years and has been a
good tenant.
But city council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said initial information
provided by the club
was “incomplete” and it required
further information to approve
the new lease.
CONCERN: The Christchurch Archery Club has been battling
for more than three years to have its lease at Rawhiti Domain
renewed by the city council.
As a result, the lease has been
placed on hold.
The club’s land is located next
to the Athletics Canterbury clubrooms
and track. It is planning
to extend its current building by
580 sq m to allow for shooting
distances of 18-25m.
The club has been fundraising
for the project for about 10 years
and currently has $135,000 saved
to go towards the building.
Mr Skews said the extension
will be a training centre for its
youth and senior archers.
The club has about 90 members
and another 60 who do
courses throughout the year.
The extension is expected to
be co -funded by organisations
including the Lotteries Commission
and the community board,
as well as fundraising and fees
from the use of the facility.
Mr Skews said the club won’t
be doing further fundraising
until it knows it has the lease.
The club has hosted major
events like the Stoke Mandeville
Games, International Fire Fighters
Games and ANZ national
championships.

Free firewood warms Shirley families
Community
helps mum
through winter
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
BEING THE sole bread-winner
in a household with three
children hasn’t been an easy road
for Shirley mother Rachel Curry.
The oil heater she uses
to warm her home burns
through a “staggering” amount
of electricity, and recently
contributed to a $700 power bill
for one month. “I had the oil
heater on 24/7 for a month and
had no firewood and had to keep
the family warm,” Miss Curry
said. The previous month was
between $400 and $500.
But paying the bills has been
made a little easier for the
commercial cleaner. Her family
is one of 18 in the Shirley area to
receive free firewood.
The firewood deliveries were
part of a large community effort
to help families struggling to
keep their homes warm.
As well as having the stress
of heating her home taken
away, Fire and Emergency New
Zealand has undertaken a safety
check of Miss Curry’s home and
installed fire alarms.
Said Miss Curry: “I am just
grateful there are these community
groups that do go out of
their way and support each other
. . . we have had some cold days
with cold morning frosts so it
has been really helpful for us,”
she said.
It comes as a Salvation Army
survey showed almost half of its
respondents said they had gone
without heating because of the
cost over the past year.
More than 50 people and various
organisations were involved
in the firewood initiative, including
the Department of Corrections,
Te Puna Oraka, the Shirley
Community Trust, city council
and Fire and Emergency New
Zealand.
Mairehau’s Neighbourhood
Trust, the Delta Community
HAPPY HOME: Malachy Curry, 6, helps his mum Rachel light a fire with their free firewood.
Support Trust, Shirley Rugby
Football Club, Shirley Intermediate
School, C3 Church, Housing
New Zealand, the Helen Anderson
Trust, New Brighton Volunteer
Fire Brigade, New Zealand
Army and St Johns Church
also contributed to helping the
families.
The wood was sourced by the
Department of Corrections,
which had old pallets to get rid
of.
Community activator Steve
Jones-Poole, who orchestrated
the firewood project, said it was a
community project.
He said some of the people
who received firewood also
helped deliver firewood to
others. The community organisations
selected families to
donate the firewood to based on
information from social service
providers in the area.
Mr Jones-Poole said he had
heard of some families heating
their homes using an oven, while
others were using small heaters
which could cost up to $600 a
month to operate.
“Of course, the bigger picture
around it is you have got the
heating for the homes which is
good for them but the bigger
thing was the people coming
together,” he said.
Mr Jones-Poole met with
families and Te Puna Oraka
yesterday to work on a long-term
solution to help families in need
to collect firewood over the year.
CHARITY: More than
50 people and several
organisations helped
deliver firewood to families
in Shirley.

Earthquake claims
still not settled?
Our newspapers are full of stories
recounting the problems many home
owners are having in settling their
earthquake claims. EQC’s repairs
failing, and insurance companies not
meeting their
obligations,
are common
problems being
experienced.
Aurum Building
Brokers manager,
Chris Seque,
advises that to
be in a position
to challenge EQC and/or your insurer,
you need “best” evidence.
Homeowners need to prove their loss:
1. The property has suffered
earthquake damage
2. The property is covered by
an insurance contract for the
damage.
3. The damage needs to be
appropriately assessed.
4. A reinstatement
solution needs to
be prepared that
describes the standard
of repair required in
terms of the insuarnce
policy and the EQC
act.
5. The cost of
reinstatement needs to be
quantified.
Chris advises that Aurum Building
Brokers has been helping Christchurch
home owners for the past six years
in preparing the evidence portfolios
needed for advocates and lawyers
to negotiate their claims with insurers.
Aurum’s professional network can
introduce homeowners to the people
who can provide evidence written in
a format to challenge the assessments
provided by EQC’s or the insurer’s
appointed experts.

issues being
faced by
Burwood, Dallington and
Avondale residents and the
action needed to help them
IN DISCUSSION with
Coastal-Burwood community
development adviser Natalie
Dally, I discussed my concerns
that little has been done for the
three suburbs that were seriously
affected by the earthquakes.
Their losses were:
•Burwood – A large number
of the newer residential development
adjacent to the Avon River
along New Brighton Rd. Connecting
roads, issues relating to
the demolition of the red-zoned
area of their suburb and a decrease
in public transport have
caused further challenges for
their community.
•Dallington – The Catholic
school, church and medical
centre. Fifty -five per cent of their
residential homes. As with above,
massive disruption related to
demolition.
•Avondale – The hotel that
doubled as a meeting facility,
their strip shops and Avondale
Primary School. And Chisnalwood
Intermediate has a question
mark over its future – not
known at this point.
All three suburbs have lived
through the residential red zoning,
which has to this day continued
ongoing earthquake-related
after effects.
The lack of capital infrastructure
building/rebuilding has
been on hold while the future of
the red-zoned area is decided.
Almost eight years of waiting
is a long time to cope with
continual loss. No replacement
of their social and retail infrastructure
and a public transport
reduction.
Ongoing road rebuilding
projects, although unsettling,
have been very welcomed on
completion.
Depleted local groups that
support community progress
initiatives.
These accumulated effects have
left those suburbs bleak, with
little in social infrastructure to
boost community well-being.
I am acutely aware that issues
around loneliness and isolation
and mental health are being
felt in these areas along with
decreased property values. These
suburbs are not thriving by any
means.
RED-ZONED: Linda Stewart is on a mission to help revitalise
Burwood, Dallington and Avondale which are still experiencing
the after effects of the quakes.
•Actions:
With this information, our
community development adviser
enabled a research survey which
covered both the Burwood and
Coastal wards. The most significant
concern from community
groups was the lack of meeting
facilities to bring the community
together.
A further discussion with our
adviser evolved and a project
developed to bring the three
suburbs together to work more
closely on:
1) Events that bring the three
suburbs together.
2) Back-up support submissions
to support the Coastal-
Burwood Community Board’s
submission to the Long Term
Plan 2018 -2018 for an area-wide
community facility to be located
at the Burwood Primary School
Hall site.
3) Community groups participating
are the residents associations
for each suburb, Burwood
All Saints and Burwood Christian
Centre, and other groups
like the Burwood Tennis Club
and Dallington Scouts have
expressed interest in joining in
with the suburb events.
Our community development
adviser applied to the community
resilience partnership
fund (members being representatives
of Selwyn, Waimakariri
and Christchurch councillors)
and was successful in securing
$60,000 for events and a feasibility
study to further these communities’
needs for a meeting
facility. The three suburbs now
have a fund to provide an event
for each of their suburbs.
All three can also work
together for a main event that
replaces the Burwood Fair. They
have elected to have a “river”
event based at Kerrs Reach (now
in planning stage).
At this point, Dallington representatives
will be meeting with
their other local groups.
Dallington Community Trust
has a ‘Movie in the Park’ event
already well progressed and it’s
hoped that their neighbouring
groups would see the potential
to participate and make this a
major, fun event that brings their
community together.
Although city councillors
didn’t grant a fund for the areawide
community facility as part
of the Long Term Plan, they have
asked staff to undertake a facility
feasibility study to assess their
capital investment for Burwood
west and I believe other areas.
I appreciate the skills and
knowledge our community development
adviser has brought
to this initiative immensely.

Overnight trip to Rapaki Marae
We had a very successful first overnight trip
to rapaki marae prior to Ngā Manu Kōrero.
Students took part in a pōwhiri, learnt about
the legends behind the carvings inside the
marae, went on a hikoi (walk) around the area
where they learnt about the local history of
certain parts of the area and learnt how to
make their own putiputi (flower) through
raranga harakeke (flax weaving).
our Manu Kōrero speakers were able to practice
their speeches and our kapahaka group were
able to learn our new school haka. By the end of
the trip i had a few students saying “we should
have stayed the whole week!” so they must
have had a great time. But i must say it is nice to
be back in the comforts of home again.
it was fantastic opportunity for our students to
experience and one we hope to duplicate in the
future.

Flexible Learning Time
one of the tasks for some of our FlT (Year 9
and Year 10) students was to select and explore
a country of their choice. each member of
a group had to learn about that country’s
different aspects of culture.
as a group they had to create a PowerPoint
presentation and a booklet to be shared with
other different cultural groups. also, they
performed games and did practical activities
to present a specific aspect of their culture.
This included teaching others in class to learn
karate, play original Filipino games and even
to make original italian pizzas in the school
cooking room.

Nga Manu Korero
Words can’t express how proud i was to be a
part of Mairehau high School after the amazing
efforts both our kapahaka students and
kaikōrero (speakers) demonstrated on stage at
Ngā Manu Kōrero (canterbury and West coast
Māori Speech competition) which saw over
1000 students in attendance.
Phoenix Neilson (Year 12) was our first speaker
on stage as he took part in the Senior english
impromptu section and gained some very
impressive grades from the judges earning
88/100 (average of 3 judges), then for his
prepared speech
he earned 94/100
average.
Zion Wirihana
(Year10) was our
next speaker
on stage
representing us
for the Junior
Māori section
earning 89/100
Zion Wirihana average.
Matalasi Tulia
(Year 10) was
our final speaker
representing us for
the Junior english
section earning
92/100 average.
it was Phoenix’s
second time
taking part in
the competition
and Zion’s and
Matalasi Tulia
Matalasi’s first time
so we congratulate them on their tremendous
efforts and impressive results from the judges.
our kapahaka group were the best supporters
we could have asked for - they helped each of
our speakers practise during the breaks, and
gave an intensely passionate haka performance
on stage after each speaker had delivered
their speech. it was incredibly long day for all
involved and we are so proud of you all.
Ms Napa
Manukura students attend first hui at Ara
our Manukura (Senior Māori leadership)
students attended their first hui in May at ara
(Te Puna Wanaka/cPiT).
They were welcomed with a mihi whakatau
(welcome speech), followed by morning tea,
then students got to listen to two motivational
speakers including a previous lecturer of
indigenous Studies and current lecturer of
Sports Science and also the ceo of Mainfreight
about their recipes for success.
after breaking for lunch students got straight
into their pathway planning, where they
identified key goals they would like to achieve,
created a step-by-step pathway as to how
they were going to overcome barriers and use
enablers to reach each of their identified goals.

Geography trip to Hanmer Springs
Term 2 saw the Year 11 geography class
head off to a camp at hanmer Springs. The
main purpose of the camp was to conduct
geographic research into the impacts of
tourism on hanmer Springs.
To do this, students were tasked with planning
their itinerary for the camp and to decide where
to visit and which key tourist attractions to
experience.
The group arrived to a blanketing of snow,
much to their delight. The trip to the thermal
pools surrounded by snow, was definitely a
highlight for all. The following day, students
made the most of the good weather exploring
hanmer Springs and conducting tourist
and local interviews, traffic counts and
environmental surveys – of which they used
Village cruisers as their mode of transport.
everyone had a fantastic time and the students
came back to school fully charged for their next
assignment.

Shoddy repairs
PEGASUS POST
Advertising
FeAture
When I say “shoddy repairs” to
people in the North Island or the West
Island where I come from, they have
absolutely no idea what I’m talking
about. They have no understanding
what shoddy repairs really means.
That’s because anywhere else in the
world where a natural disaster has
occurred the Insurance company will
either do the repairs themselves and
stand behind those repairs or pay
cash out to you to take the risk and
do the repairs yourself.
Not in Christchurch, Christchurch is another reality,
we have EQC. After I left EQC and before I started
my business whenever I told anyone about my idea to
challenge EQC reports I lost count of the people that
told me,” You’re crazy”. I was told, “Your business
will never work here, don’t you know, we are the only
country in the world that has EQC, they will look after
us and we will never need to challenge their reports”.
After 7 years the truth is out there, and you must
challenge the EQC assessments and repairs carried out to
your homes.
“Who’s to blame”
The previous government want you to believe it was the
fault of the builders trying to cut corners. Of course, the
builders involved are not blameless, but, they are not
solely responsible. To many people this was just a series
of unfortunate events and gross incompetence. I do
not believe that, I believe this was a well-orchestrated
takeover of the entire process by the Government and
those beholden to it or benefiting from it. We all know
that all governments lie, some more than others. But
what happened here was a well thought-out, wellorchestrated
hoodwinking of an entire city and nation.
The tools the then government used included EQC,
The Red Zone, The Residential Advisory Service (RAS),
The Christchurch Home Repair Program (CHRP),
the media, the legal system, MBIE and professional
experts. The result is billions of dollars being denied to
homeowners with damaged homes and a damaged
Christchurch housing stock that will take generations to
recover.
Perhaps the most insidious program of all was the
Christchurch Home Repair Program (CHRP), with about
90,000 homes repaired under this program. I’m not going
to say all the repairs carried out were failures. What I will
say is that a significant amount of the more difficult repairs
had work done
on them that
did not meet
building standards let alone the much
higher standard of the insurance
policies. Significant damage has
been ignored and when challenged
explained away as pre-existing. After
seven years of re-assessing EQC
work we’ve seen it all. From a jandal
being used to pack a pile to a pile
being cut through so there was no
need to get a plumber to move a
pipe and EQC refusing to lift carpets
to see if the slabs were cracked.
THERE IS
NO TIME
TO DELAY,
YOU NEED
TO TAKE
ACTION
NOW
CHRP, but many, many more are
completely unaware of the damage
caused and damage ignored under
CHRP. We know EQC give estimates
of as low as 600 and as high as
3,000 homes that have suffered
shoddy repairs. I believe the actual
number is much higher, in the tens
of thousands, but only time will
tell. The fact is, no one knows the
actual number because there are no
records that could be relied upon.
Proper assessments were never done by EQC.
What we do know from fighting for so many homeowners
with shoddy repairs, is that many of the repairs have
covered up the actual damage. Foundation damage
hidden behind epoxy glue, plaster and paint, piles packed
on poor ground and doors and windows shaved to fit.
What you must do
To get justice you have to fight for your rights,
however getting justice is very expensive. You will
need to have very deep pockets and some or all of
the following: Builders, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors,
Geotech Engineers, Lawyers and a lot of your own
personal time. Or you can pass all of that on to us to
fund and manage.
If you can afford it
• you must get your repairs checked, by independent
experts.
• If there is unaddressed damage, get a lawyer. Find
one that doesn’t work for Insurance companies.
If you can’t afford it
• Call us, we are New Zealand’s largest earthquake
litigation funder.
• We pay for an independent expert to assess the repairs
and damage.
• If there is no damage and the repairs have been carried
out correctly, you pay nothing, and our contract is
terminated.
• However, if damage is found or the repairs are substandard,
we fund everything it takes to prove your
claim until settlement.
• We operate a “No win, No fee” system of funding.
• At settlement we take back the costs outlaid and a
percentage of the settlement.

Coastal keeper headed
to France for World Cup

Una Foyle has had the last laugh
over the boys who wouldn’t pass
the ball to her.
The former Rangi Ruru Girls’
School student was a shock

France next month. The team
flew out last week.
She joins fellow Coastal Spirit

Foyle has made the most of
her ability between the goal
posts after making the move to
the position five years ago. “The
boys I was playing with just
stopped passing the ball to me
so my coach put me back in goal
and I guess it’s worked out,” she
said.
Foyle missed the cut for the
first New Zealand under-20
wider training squad at the start
of the year and thought her
chance had vanished. However,
she was called into the training

unanimous
decision, which
included a
standing eight

second round.
The current
under-57kg
cadet grade New
Zealand and
Australian national champion
improved his record to 16-1.
He is following in the
footsteps of his father Danny,
who had more than 120 fights
when he was based in the
Manawatu district.
Daniel has been training
for the past five years under
Wainoni-based Smiling Tigers
Boxing Club coach Mark Fuller.
“I started with dad five years
ago just hitting the pads in
the garage,” he said. “Initially,
I wasn’t very good but after a
while I really grew to love it.”
He was a gold medallist in the
under-57kg cadet grade at the
New Zealand and Australian
nationals and will be looking to
defend both titles this year.
Daniel’s only loss came two
years ago and,
since then, he has
learnt the value
of nutrition and
fitness and the
impact it can
have over three

rounds. Fuller
said Daniel
has plenty of
potential and
the biggest issue
is finding him
bouts. Daniel
said he likes to

likes to use his

is supportive of his sport and
strikes the right balance with his

“He’s always there for a word

said.
Daniel said after being in the

Reading to dogs
Tuesday, 3.30 – 4.30pm
Designed to provide a relaxed,
non-threatening atmosphere
which encourages children to
practise their reading skills
and develop a love of reading.
The programme uses dogs who
are the beloved pets of the city
council’s animal management
team. These furry friends have
all been trained and tested for
health, safety and temperament.
The dogs can increase a child’s
relaxation while reading, listen
attentively, do not laugh, judge
or criticise, allow children to
proceed at their own pace and
can be less intimidating than a
child’s peers. Library staff and
a dog handler will be present
at all times to help facilitate the
sessions. Sessions are 15min long.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sment southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves whic had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselve some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes
Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stan down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfi ling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and a nual
plans are a l about lo bying the

Cave Rock

expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidentally seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffere damage
in the February and June, 20 1,
earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the settlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to
earlier.”

It was the firs time Mr Garth

how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality

The preparation for this year’s

intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two

practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and

back for you,” he said.
Mr Gart hopes t own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience

“In two years’ time, we’ l be

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking t operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en
September-May along with a Thai
f od truck.

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils
have taken a step back in time,
s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher
has proven himself to be a cut
above his Au sie rivals at an
international competition.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.
Mr Winder has b en a butcher
since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-
Ri carton Community Board
has b en given the gr en ligh to
o pose the pla ned qua ry near
Templeton.
Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the
board on Thursday it had the okay
from the city council to make a
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies
for a resource consen to create a
qua ry.
Board chairman Mike Mora
told Western News the submi sion
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s
plan.
“You can just about guarant e
it . because we [the community
board] don’t believe qua ries
should be so close to residential
areas,” he said.
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the
board’ submi sion.
“I’d like to think so because the
city council has had their eyes
open as we l ove recent years over
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.
Mr Mora said the community
board wi l be “representing and
advocating” for the Templeton
community.

IT COULD be some time before
charges are laid in relation to the
fatal hit-and-run in Dallington.
Detective Senior Sergeant Greg
Cottam said yesterday the vehicle
involved in the crash last week
was still being examined.
He said there was still a lot of
work to do to gather all the information
and finish police inquiries
before any charges would be laid.
“They can take some time,” he
said.
“We’ve got six months to lay
charges in relation to traffic offending
– it certainly won’t take
that long.”
Steffan Pearce-
Loe (right), 30, was
hit by a vehicle
near the Gayhurst
Rd bridge while
walking his dogs at
about 2.30am last
Thursday.
He died in hospital
from his injuries on Friday.
His funeral was held on Tuesday.
Police found the vehicle
involved, which had damage
consistent with the crash, on Saturday.
A detective saw it parked
up a driveway.
The vehicle’s owner, who was
driving, has been interviewed by
police.
Detective Senior Sergeant Cottam
remained tight-lipped about
the driver. •Turn to page 6

Huia Sinclair-Parker, 10, was at
Willowbank Wildlife Reserve
for Kidfest’s ‘Junior Keeper
for the Day’ programme
yesterday when Neo
swooped in.
Having Neo, the kea, on her
shoulder was exciting, “but
scary at the same time.”
“It jumped on me from behind
and gave me a surprise. They
have sharp claws that dug
into my shoulders.”
Children aged from 10-13 are
working with Willowbank
keepers during the holidays.
