Plea to keep fireworks in Brighton<br />

Review of<br />

event’s future<br />

under way<br />

BRIGHT LIGHTS: The New<br />

Brighton fireworks display is<br />

NEW BRIGHTON businesses<br />

and residents are pleading for the<br />

iconic annual fireworks event to<br />

stay in the suburb.<br />

The New Brighton Guy Fawkes<br />

event has come under scrutiny<br />

from the city council as part of<br />

a city-wide review of all councilrun<br />

events.<br />

City council head of community<br />

support, governance and<br />

partnerships John Filsell said for<br />

a number of years it has received<br />

feedback on traffic<br />

management<br />

congestion.<br />

He said it is a<br />

health and safety<br />

issue due to New<br />

Brighton having<br />

limitations on<br />

its entry and exit<br />

points.<br />

John Filsell<br />

At the time of the event, the<br />

city council is required to only<br />

have north and south exits out<br />

of the area, with a central New<br />

Brighton exit dedicated to a bus<br />

service for 30min following the<br />

event.<br />

“The road works in this area<br />

over the years have also added to<br />

the congestion difficulties. With<br />

a mass egress at the conclusion<br />

of the event contributing to the<br />

disruption,” Mr Filsell said.<br />

Brighton owner Blair Hughes<br />

said any event as popular as Guy<br />

Fawkes will have traffic management<br />

issues and the city council<br />

should have the expertise to<br />

manage the issues.<br />

He said New Brighton is not<br />

like Redcliffs or Sumner where<br />

Mon - Fri<br />

8.00am to 5.00pm<br />

there is only one entrance, and<br />

if the correct plan is put in place<br />

there should not be an issue.<br />

His views were backed by Bin<br />

Inn New Brighton owner Nikki<br />

Griffin, who said it should be an<br />

issue that can be resolved.<br />

“How many years have they<br />

had the same issue and not bothered<br />

about it?” she said.<br />

The fireworks display has been<br />

running at the pier since it was<br />

opened in 1997.<br />

Mrs Griffin said if the event<br />

was taken away, it would be another<br />

blow for the east and show<br />

a “lack of commitment from the<br />

city council” to an area “already<br />

neglected.”<br />

New Brighton Museum secretary<br />

Peggy Butterfield said she<br />

would be very disappointed if<br />

the fireworks event was moved<br />

away, but was supportive of it<br />

being held at Matariki.<br />

I SMELL a rat.<br />

And it’s the city council’s murmurings<br />

over Guy Fawkes (page 1).<br />

The odour is the comment from city<br />

council head of community support,<br />

governance and partnerships (now that’s a<br />

long title) John Filsell over traffic management at the event.<br />

He’s talking congestion and mentions there is limitations on<br />

the roads in and out of New Brighton.<br />

New Brighton needs the fireworks display. It’s a great event<br />

and there is a real buzz about it.<br />

If the council continues to chest beat about revitalising<br />

Brighton it won’t touch the event. But I think it will try.<br />

And speaking of roads in and out of Brighton, what will happen<br />

in the event of a tsunami?<br />

That’s real food for thought.<br />

Warning over clock tower danger<br />

No public entry<br />

while repairs<br />

under way<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

PEOPLE attempting to break<br />

into the earthquake-damaged<br />

New Brighton clock tower<br />

are putting themselves in a<br />

potentially dangerous situation,<br />

warns the city council.<br />

The clock tower is surrounded<br />

by scaffolding and has fencing<br />

around it, but that has not<br />

stopped some people from<br />

trying to gain entry.<br />

City council head of parks<br />

Andrew Rutledge said the<br />

clock tower has been fenced off<br />

because engineers are working<br />

to determine how much damage<br />

it sustained in the earthquakes,<br />

and what needs to be done to<br />

fix it.<br />

“It is not safe for the public to<br />

be in (the clock tower), which<br />

is why we have got it fenced off.<br />

Our concern is that if someone<br />

does try to break in while the<br />

repair work is under way, they<br />

could find themselves in a<br />

potentially dangerous situation,’’<br />

Mr Rutledge said.<br />

It comes as progress is well<br />

PROGRESS: Repairs have started on the New Brighton clock<br />

tower.<br />

under way on the clock tower’s<br />

earthquake and historical<br />

repairs. On Thursday the clock<br />

faces were removed.<br />

Over the past few weeks,<br />

contractors have been loosening<br />

each face and removing<br />

components.<br />

City council community<br />

capital delivery manager Darren<br />

Moses said as the clock faces are<br />

very fragile due to corrosion,<br />

their removal has been carefully<br />

planned. Each part was labelled<br />

so they be can return to their<br />

original location.<br />

It is believed to be the first<br />

time the clock faces have been<br />

restored since the clock tower<br />

was built in the 1930s.<br />

Mr Moses said the scaffolding<br />

will be amended and covered for<br />

weather protection this week.<br />

Shortly afterwards, a<br />

contractor will remove the lead<br />

paint from the entire structure.<br />

Investigations by structural<br />

engineers into the damage the<br />

tower sustained have revealed<br />

corrosion as a result of historic<br />

water damage.<br />

There is also significant<br />

damage to large sections of<br />

concrete in the tower and poor<br />

quality concrete cover in the<br />

internal floor. Both elements will<br />

require replacing.<br />

The clock tower floors<br />

may also need replacing<br />

and the concrete around its<br />

faces is in poor condition, most<br />

likely caused by corroding cast<br />

iron.<br />

The Sumner Scarborough<br />

clock tower is also under repair<br />

and has had attempted break-ins<br />

as well.<br />

PEOPLE OPPOSED to recent<br />

changes to the bus routes in the<br />

eastern suburbs will get another<br />

chance to have their say.<br />

The Greater Christchurch Public<br />

Transport Joint Committee<br />

will put out the draft Regional<br />

Public Transport Plan for consultation<br />

later this year.<br />

This will be an opportunity for<br />

communities to have their say<br />

on the future shape of the bus<br />

network, including the long-term<br />

vision, priorities and action plan.<br />

Following adoption of the<br />

RPTP, detailed consultation at a<br />

bus route level will occur early<br />

next year.<br />

It comes as a public meeting<br />

was held in New Brighton to<br />

gauge concern over the new bus<br />

route changes.<br />

About 60 people attended the<br />

meeting last Monday to discuss<br />

the latest changes Environemtn<br />

Canterbury has implemented as<br />

part of its Long Term Plan.<br />

Christchurch East MP Poto<br />

Williams said there is a group of<br />

concerned people who now have<br />

an opportunity to collectively<br />

work on the next part of the<br />

Second chance for bus feedback<br />

process.<br />

Key concerns raised at the<br />

meeting included the ability<br />

for residents reliant on the bus<br />

services to get to doctor<br />

appointments, shopping<br />

centres and work.<br />

It comes after ECan<br />

confirmed it would combine<br />

the 135 Burwood<br />

Hospital and 150 The<br />

Palms bus routes in<br />

June.<br />

The new bus route<br />

will now stop at the<br />

Taiora: QE II Recreation<br />

and Sport Centre and no<br />

Philip<br />

Haythornthwaite<br />

longer travel into New Brighton.<br />

The consistency and quality of<br />

bus stops in the area was raised<br />

by Disabled Persons Assembly<br />

Christchurch and Districts<br />

president Philip Haythornthwaite.<br />

He told <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> if<br />

the bus stops are not up<br />

to scratch they can affect<br />

patronage.<br />

An example was a bus<br />

stop recently installed<br />

on Stanmore Rd outside<br />

Kora Kitchens.<br />

Mr Haythornthwaite<br />

said the footpath is “deeply<br />

angled” and if you were to push<br />

a wheelchair there was potential<br />

for it to fall over.<br />

City council transport operations<br />

manager Ryan Rolston said<br />

staff are working with a contractor<br />

to rectify the grade issue<br />

at Stanmore Rd and should be<br />

resolved in two weeks.<br />

What could be done to improve<br />

ECan’s submission process<br />

and make its website more “userfriendly”<br />

was also discussed.<br />

Senior public transport manager<br />

Stewart Gibbon said ECan<br />

is looking at how the submission<br />

process could be improved.<br />

Butcher parks up in Marshland<br />

A MOBILE butcher has started<br />

parking up on Marshland Rd<br />

each weekend.<br />

Elite Meats owner Corey<br />

Winder has expanded his<br />

business by setting up a<br />

moveable butchery from a small<br />

truck.<br />

Mr Winder, who has been a<br />

butcher since he was 19-yearsold,<br />

said the reaction has been<br />

“amazing.”<br />

“People have just been blown<br />

away by it,” he said.<br />

The idea for the mobile butchery<br />

came from residents’ requests<br />

to have a shop in other places.<br />

“I thought, well, it’s not that<br />

easy to open a butcher shop, so<br />

I’ll see if I can get a mobile one<br />

going,” Mr Winder said.<br />

He is selling the same products<br />

found in the Elite Meats store in<br />

Bush Inn.<br />

“If we haven’t got it on the<br />

truck, then we take orders and<br />

we take the order out of whatever<br />

they want the following week,”<br />

Mr Winder said.<br />

In March, Mr Winder was<br />

named in the all star team at<br />

the World Butchers’ Challenge<br />

in Northern Ireland. His<br />

team, the Pure South Sharp<br />

Blacks, finished second in the<br />

competition.<br />

The mobile butcher will<br />

be open outside Vegeland on<br />

Marshland Rd on weekends<br />

from 9am-5.30pm, and outside<br />

the South Point complex in Faringdon,<br />

Rolleston, on Thursdays<br />

from 2-6.30pm.<br />

“It’s one of those things, we’re<br />

trying to take small steps to get<br />

it right rather than rushing out<br />

to all these different places,” Mr<br />

Winder said.<br />

UNIQUE: Elite Meats owner Corey Winder has opened his own<br />

mobile butcher shop which he parks up on Marshland Rd each<br />

weekend. ​<br />

Archery club’s plan for new<br />

Rawhiti facility hits a snag<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

A “PRESSING need” to build<br />

a year- round weather facility<br />

to support archery at Rawhiti<br />

Domain continues to be put on<br />

hold.<br />

The Christchurch Archery<br />

Club has been battling for more<br />

than three years to have its lease<br />

at Rawhiti Domain renewed by<br />

the city council.<br />

While the lease is not up for<br />

renewal until 2021, the club is<br />

planning a $350,000 extension<br />

to its current facility and “desperately”<br />

needs to secure a lease<br />

for the next 20 years.<br />

A letter was presented to the<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board last week on the issue. The<br />

club’s past president and facilities<br />

convener Bill Skews said it<br />

has been trying to get the lease<br />

secured for the past three years.<br />

Mr Skews said it has been<br />

based at the domain for more<br />

than 25 years and has been a<br />

good tenant.<br />

But city council head of parks<br />

Andrew Rutledge said initial information<br />

provided by the club<br />

was “incomplete” and it required<br />

further information to approve<br />

the new lease.<br />

CONCERN: The Christchurch Archery Club has been battling<br />

for more than three years to have its lease at Rawhiti Domain<br />

renewed by the city council. ​<br />

As a result, the lease has been<br />

placed on hold.<br />

The club’s land is located next<br />

to the Athletics Canterbury clubrooms<br />

and track. It is planning<br />

to extend its current building by<br />

580 sq m to allow for shooting<br />

distances of 18-25m.<br />

The club has been fundraising<br />

for the project for about 10 years<br />

and currently has $135,000 saved<br />

to go towards the building.<br />

Mr Skews said the extension<br />

will be a training centre for its<br />

youth and senior archers.<br />

The club has about 90 members<br />

and another 60 who do<br />

courses throughout the year.<br />

The extension is expected to<br />

be co -funded by organisations<br />

including the Lotteries Commission<br />

and the community board,<br />

as well as fundraising and fees<br />

from the use of the facility.<br />

Mr Skews said the club won’t<br />

be doing further fundraising<br />

until it knows it has the lease.<br />

The club has hosted major<br />

events like the Stoke Mandeville<br />

Games, International Fire Fighters<br />

Games and ANZ national<br />

championships.<br />

CHRISTCHURCH mum<br />

Robyn Twemlow is out to make<br />

a difference in the lives of<br />

those diagnosed with Tourette<br />

Syndrome - and last week<br />

received $10,000 from the<br />

Mazda Foundation to aid her<br />

cause.<br />

Tourette’s is a condition characterised<br />

by tics, repetitive and<br />

involuntary movements.<br />

Five years ago, Ms Twemlow’s<br />

then nine-year-old daughter<br />

Analise was diagnosed with<br />

the syndrome. Ms Twemlow<br />

of New Zealand. As well<br />

Free firewood warms Shirley families<br />

Community<br />

helps mum<br />

through winter<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

BEING THE sole bread-winner<br />

in a household with three<br />

children hasn’t been an easy road<br />

for Shirley mother Rachel Curry.<br />

The oil heater she uses<br />

to warm her home burns<br />

through a “staggering” amount<br />

of electricity, and recently<br />

contributed to a $700 power bill<br />

for one month. “I had the oil<br />

heater on 24/7 for a month and<br />

had no firewood and had to keep<br />

the family warm,” Miss Curry<br />

said. The previous month was<br />

between $400 and $500.<br />

But paying the bills has been<br />

made a little easier for the<br />

commercial cleaner. Her family<br />

is one of 18 in the Shirley area to<br />

receive free firewood.<br />

The firewood deliveries were<br />

part of a large community effort<br />

to help families struggling to<br />

keep their homes warm.<br />

As well as having the stress<br />

of heating her home taken<br />

away, Fire and Emergency New<br />

Zealand has undertaken a safety<br />

check of Miss Curry’s home and<br />

installed fire alarms.<br />

Said Miss Curry: “I am just<br />

grateful there are these community<br />

groups that do go out of<br />

their way and support each other<br />

. . . we have had some cold days<br />

with cold morning frosts so it<br />

has been really helpful for us,”<br />

she said.<br />

It comes as a Salvation Army<br />

survey showed almost half of its<br />

respondents said they had gone<br />

without heating because of the<br />

cost over the past year.<br />

More than 50 people and various<br />

organisations were involved<br />

in the firewood initiative, including<br />

the Department of Corrections,<br />

Te Puna Oraka, the Shirley<br />

Community Trust, city council<br />

and Fire and Emergency New<br />

Zealand.<br />

Mairehau’s Neighbourhood<br />

Trust, the Delta Community<br />

HAPPY HOME: Malachy Curry, 6, helps his mum Rachel light a fire with their free firewood. ​<br />

Support Trust, Shirley Rugby<br />

Football Club, Shirley Intermediate<br />

School, C3 Church, Housing<br />

New Zealand, the Helen Anderson<br />

Trust, New Brighton Volunteer<br />

Fire Brigade, New Zealand<br />

Army and St Johns Church<br />

also contributed to helping the<br />

families.<br />

The wood was sourced by the<br />

Department of Corrections,<br />

which had old pallets to get rid<br />

of.<br />

Community activator Steve<br />

Jones-Poole, who orchestrated<br />

the firewood project, said it was a<br />

community project.<br />

He said some of the people<br />

who received firewood also<br />

helped deliver firewood to<br />

others. The community organisations<br />

selected families to<br />

donate the firewood to based on<br />

information from social service<br />

providers in the area.<br />

Mr Jones-Poole said he had<br />

heard of some families heating<br />

their homes using an oven, while<br />

others were using small heaters<br />

which could cost up to $600 a<br />

month to operate.<br />

“Of course, the bigger picture<br />

around it is you have got the<br />

heating for the homes which is<br />

good for them but the bigger<br />

thing was the people coming<br />

together,” he said.<br />

Mr Jones-Poole met with<br />

families and Te Puna Oraka<br />

yesterday to work on a long-term<br />

solution to help families in need<br />

to collect firewood over the year.<br />

CHARITY: More than<br />

50 people and several<br />

organisations helped<br />

deliver firewood to families<br />

in Shirley.<br />

Earthquake claims<br />

still not settled?<br />

Our newspapers are full of stories<br />

recounting the problems many home<br />

owners are having in settling their<br />

earthquake claims. EQC’s repairs<br />

failing, and insurance companies not<br />

meeting their<br />

obligations,<br />

are common<br />

problems being<br />

experienced.<br />

Aurum Building<br />

Brokers manager,<br />

Chris Seque,<br />

advises that to<br />

be in a position<br />

to challenge EQC and/or your insurer,<br />

you need “best” evidence.<br />

Homeowners need to prove their loss:<br />

1. The property has suffered<br />

earthquake damage<br />

2. The property is covered by<br />

an insurance contract for the<br />

damage.<br />

3. The damage needs to be<br />

appropriately assessed.<br />

4. A reinstatement<br />

solution needs to<br />

be prepared that<br />

describes the standard<br />

of repair required in<br />

terms of the insuarnce<br />

policy and the EQC<br />

act.<br />

5. The cost of<br />

reinstatement needs to be<br />

quantified.<br />

Chris advises that Aurum Building<br />

Brokers has been helping Christchurch<br />

home owners for the past six years<br />

in preparing the evidence portfolios<br />

needed for advocates and lawyers<br />

to negotiate their claims with insurers.<br />

Aurum’s professional network can<br />

introduce homeowners to the people<br />

who can provide evidence written in<br />

a format to challenge the assessments<br />

provided by EQC’s or the insurer’s<br />

appointed experts.<br />

Plan to revitalise quake hit eastern suburbs<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Coastal­<br />

Burwood<br />

Community<br />

Board member<br />

Linda Stewart<br />

writes about<br />

the post-quake<br />

issues being<br />

faced by<br />

Burwood, Dallington and<br />

Avondale residents and the<br />

action needed to help them<br />

IN DISCUSSION with<br />

Coastal-Burwood community<br />

development adviser Natalie<br />

Dally, I discussed my concerns<br />

that little has been done for the<br />

three suburbs that were seriously<br />

affected by the earthquakes.<br />

Their losses were:<br />

•Burwood – A large number<br />

of the newer residential development<br />

adjacent to the Avon River<br />

along New Brighton Rd. Connecting<br />

roads, issues relating to<br />

the demolition of the red-zoned<br />

area of their suburb and a decrease<br />

in public transport have<br />

caused further challenges for<br />

their community.<br />

•Dallington – The Catholic<br />

school, church and medical<br />

centre. Fifty -five per cent of their<br />

residential homes. As with above,<br />

massive disruption related to<br />

demolition.<br />

•Avondale – The hotel that<br />

doubled as a meeting facility,<br />

their strip shops and Avondale<br />

Primary School. And Chisnalwood<br />

Intermediate has a question<br />

mark over its future – not<br />

known at this point.<br />

All three suburbs have lived<br />

through the residential red zoning,<br />

which has to this day continued<br />

ongoing earthquake-related<br />

after effects.<br />

The lack of capital infrastructure<br />

building/rebuilding has<br />

been on hold while the future of<br />

the red-zoned area is decided.<br />

Almost eight years of waiting<br />

is a long time to cope with<br />

continual loss. No replacement<br />

of their social and retail infrastructure<br />

and a public transport<br />

reduction.<br />

Ongoing road rebuilding<br />

projects, although unsettling,<br />

have been very welcomed on<br />

completion.<br />

Depleted local groups that<br />

support community progress<br />

initiatives.<br />

These accumulated effects have<br />

left those suburbs bleak, with<br />

little in social infrastructure to<br />

boost community well-being.<br />

I am acutely aware that issues<br />

around loneliness and isolation<br />

and mental health are being<br />

felt in these areas along with<br />

decreased property values. These<br />

suburbs are not thriving by any<br />

means.<br />

RED-ZONED: Linda Stewart is on a mission to help revitalise<br />

Burwood, Dallington and Avondale which are still experiencing<br />

the after effects of the quakes.<br />

•Actions:<br />

With this information, our<br />

community development adviser<br />

enabled a research survey which<br />

covered both the Burwood and<br />

Coastal wards. The most significant<br />

concern from community<br />

groups was the lack of meeting<br />

facilities to bring the community<br />

together.<br />

A further discussion with our<br />

adviser evolved and a project<br />

developed to bring the three<br />

suburbs together to work more<br />

closely on:<br />

1) Events that bring the three<br />

suburbs together.<br />

2) Back-up support submissions<br />

to support the Coastal-<br />

Burwood Community Board’s<br />

submission to the Long Term<br />

Plan <strong>2018</strong> -<strong>2018</strong> for an area-wide<br />

community facility to be located<br />

at the Burwood Primary School<br />

Hall site.<br />

3) Community groups participating<br />

are the residents associations<br />

for each suburb, Burwood<br />

All Saints and Burwood Christian<br />

Centre, and other groups<br />

like the Burwood Tennis Club<br />

and Dallington Scouts have<br />

expressed interest in joining in<br />

with the suburb events.<br />

Our community development<br />

adviser applied to the community<br />

resilience partnership<br />

fund (members being representatives<br />

of Selwyn, Waimakariri<br />

and Christchurch councillors)<br />

and was successful in securing<br />

$60,000 for events and a feasibility<br />

study to further these communities’<br />

needs for a meeting<br />

facility. The three suburbs now<br />

have a fund to provide an event<br />

for each of their suburbs.<br />

All three can also work<br />

together for a main event that<br />

replaces the Burwood Fair. They<br />

have elected to have a “river”<br />

event based at Kerrs Reach (now<br />

in planning stage).<br />

At this point, Dallington representatives<br />

will be meeting with<br />

their other local groups.<br />

Dallington Community Trust<br />

has a ‘Movie in the Park’ event<br />

already well progressed and it’s<br />

hoped that their neighbouring<br />

groups would see the potential<br />

to participate and make this a<br />

major, fun event that brings their<br />

community together.<br />

Although city councillors<br />

didn’t grant a fund for the areawide<br />

community facility as part<br />

of the Long Term Plan, they have<br />

asked staff to undertake a facility<br />

feasibility study to assess their<br />

capital investment for Burwood<br />

west and I believe other areas.<br />

I appreciate the skills and<br />

knowledge our community development<br />

adviser has brought<br />

to this initiative immensely.<br />

Mairehau<br />

high School<br />

Encouraging ExcEllEncE in our community<br />

-<br />

The<br />

Principal’s<br />

Desk<br />

Towards the future<br />

Mairehau high School is in a strong position<br />

to offer students opportunities which will<br />

enable them to become worthwhile citizens<br />

of the world, people who will contribute to their communities.<br />

Harry romana, Principal<br />

Teachers within our school are leading and developing key initiatives which will provide<br />

students with the skills, capabilities and fluency to enable them to be successful life-long<br />

learners in a digital world. in our school, we use our head, heart and hands which enable<br />

us to describe the critical thinking student who is numerate and literate. a student who<br />

can take responsibility for their learning and manage themselves. The students who<br />

pass through our school gates, learn in our classrooms, and access technology through<br />

our wireless internet provision will be well set in the future to enter tertiary courses or<br />

employment opportunities.<br />

Mairehau high School is transforming and rebuilding the school to accommodate roll<br />

growth. The Board are working with the Ministry of education to get our school building<br />

project underway. We are keen to ensure secondary school co-educational school<br />

provision in christchurch east. it is fair to say that we have been very patient about<br />

entering the building implementation phase. currently, leakages in our administration,<br />

gymnasium and library have all been addressed, and new carpet and vinyl were laid in<br />

the recent Term 2 break.<br />

Te Ara Tuhura<br />

all christchurch east Secondary Schools are passionate about improving achievement<br />

Overnight trip to Rapaki Marae<br />

We had a very successful first overnight trip<br />

to rapaki marae prior to Ngā Manu Kōrero.<br />

Students took part in a pōwhiri, learnt about<br />

the legends behind the carvings inside the<br />

marae, went on a hikoi (walk) around the area<br />

where they learnt about the local history of<br />

certain parts of the area and learnt how to<br />

make their own putiputi (flower) through<br />

raranga harakeke (flax weaving).<br />

our Manu Kōrero speakers were able to practice<br />

their speeches and our kapahaka group were<br />

able to learn our new school haka. By the end of<br />

the trip i had a few students saying “we should<br />

have stayed the whole week!” so they must<br />

have had a great time. But i must say it is nice to<br />

be back in the comforts of home again.<br />

it was fantastic opportunity for our students to<br />

experience and one we hope to duplicate in the<br />

future.<br />

Achievement, Responsibility, Empathy)<br />

improved facilities starting soon<br />

- We have a strong environment team who are<br />

constantly working to keep the school looking<br />

aesthetically pleasing to all<br />

- extensive new technology resource<br />

Flexible Learning Time<br />

one of the tasks for some of our FlT (Year 9<br />

and Year 10) students was to select and explore<br />

a country of their choice. each member of<br />

a group had to learn about that country’s<br />

different aspects of culture.<br />

as a group they had to create a PowerPoint<br />

presentation and a booklet to be shared with<br />

other different cultural groups. also, they<br />

performed games and did practical activities<br />

to present a specific aspect of their culture.<br />

This included teaching others in class to learn<br />

karate, play original Filipino games and even<br />

to make original italian pizzas in the school<br />

cooking room.<br />

Geography trip to Hanmer Springs<br />

Term 2 saw the Year 11 geography class<br />

head off to a camp at hanmer Springs. The<br />

main purpose of the camp was to conduct<br />

geographic research into the impacts of<br />

tourism on hanmer Springs.<br />

To do this, students were tasked with planning<br />

their itinerary for the camp and to decide where<br />

to visit and which key tourist attractions to<br />

experience.<br />

The group arrived to a blanketing of snow,<br />

much to their delight. The trip to the thermal<br />

pools surrounded by snow, was definitely a<br />

highlight for all. The following day, students<br />

made the most of the good weather exploring<br />

hanmer Springs and conducting tourist<br />

and local interviews, traffic counts and<br />

environmental surveys – of which they used<br />

Village cruisers as their mode of transport.<br />

everyone had a fantastic time and the students<br />

came back to school fully charged for their next<br />

assignment.<br />

Shoddy repairs<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

Advertising<br />

FeAture<br />

When I say “shoddy repairs” to<br />

people in the North Island or the West<br />

Island where I come from, they have<br />

absolutely no idea what I’m talking<br />

about. They have no understanding<br />

what shoddy repairs really means.<br />

That’s because anywhere else in the<br />

world where a natural disaster has<br />

occurred the Insurance company will<br />

either do the repairs themselves and<br />

stand behind those repairs or pay<br />

cash out to you to take the risk and<br />

do the repairs yourself.<br />

Not in Christchurch, Christchurch is another reality,<br />

we have EQC. After I left EQC and before I started<br />

my business whenever I told anyone about my idea to<br />

challenge EQC reports I lost count of the people that<br />

told me,” You’re crazy”. I was told, “Your business<br />

will never work here, don’t you know, we are the only<br />

country in the world that has EQC, they will look after<br />

us and we will never need to challenge their reports”.<br />

After 7 years the truth is out there, and you must<br />

challenge the EQC assessments and repairs carried out to<br />

your homes.<br />

“Who’s to blame”<br />

The previous government want you to believe it was the<br />

fault of the builders trying to cut corners. Of course, the<br />

builders involved are not blameless, but, they are not<br />

solely responsible. To many people this was just a series<br />

of unfortunate events and gross incompetence. I do<br />

not believe that, I believe this was a well-orchestrated<br />

takeover of the entire process by the Government and<br />

those beholden to it or benefiting from it. We all know<br />

that all governments lie, some more than others. But<br />

what happened here was a well thought-out, wellorchestrated<br />

hoodwinking of an entire city and nation.<br />

The tools the then government used included EQC,<br />

The Red Zone, The Residential Advisory Service (RAS),<br />

The Christchurch Home Repair Program (CHRP),<br />

the media, the legal system, MBIE and professional<br />

experts. The result is billions of dollars being denied to<br />

homeowners with damaged homes and a damaged<br />

Christchurch housing stock that will take generations to<br />

recover.<br />

Perhaps the most insidious program of all was the<br />

Christchurch Home Repair Program (CHRP), with about<br />

90,000 homes repaired under this program. I’m not going<br />

to say all the repairs carried out were failures. What I will<br />

say is that a significant amount of the more difficult repairs<br />

had work done<br />

on them that<br />

did not meet<br />

building standards let alone the much<br />

higher standard of the insurance<br />

policies. Significant damage has<br />

been ignored and when challenged<br />

explained away as pre-existing. After<br />

seven years of re-assessing EQC<br />

work we’ve seen it all. From a jandal<br />

being used to pack a pile to a pile<br />

being cut through so there was no<br />

need to get a plumber to move a<br />

pipe and EQC refusing to lift carpets<br />

to see if the slabs were cracked.<br />

THERE IS<br />

NO TIME<br />

TO DELAY,<br />

YOU NEED<br />

TO TAKE<br />

ACTION<br />

NOW<br />

CHRP, but many, many more are<br />

completely unaware of the damage<br />

caused and damage ignored under<br />

CHRP. We know EQC give estimates<br />

of as low as 600 and as high as<br />

3,000 homes that have suffered<br />

shoddy repairs. I believe the actual<br />

number is much higher, in the tens<br />

of thousands, but only time will<br />

tell. The fact is, no one knows the<br />

actual number because there are no<br />

records that could be relied upon.<br />

Proper assessments were never done by EQC.<br />

What we do know from fighting for so many homeowners<br />

with shoddy repairs, is that many of the repairs have<br />

covered up the actual damage. Foundation damage<br />

hidden behind epoxy glue, plaster and paint, piles packed<br />

on poor ground and doors and windows shaved to fit.<br />

What you must do<br />

To get justice you have to fight for your rights,<br />

however getting justice is very expensive. You will<br />

need to have very deep pockets and some or all of<br />

the following: Builders, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors,<br />

Geotech Engineers, Lawyers and a lot of your own<br />

personal time. Or you can pass all of that on to us to<br />

fund and manage.<br />

If you can afford it<br />

• you must get your repairs checked, by independent<br />

experts.<br />

• If there is unaddressed damage, get a lawyer. Find<br />

one that doesn’t work for Insurance companies.<br />

If you can’t afford it<br />

• Call us, we are New Zealand’s largest earthquake<br />

litigation funder.<br />

• We pay for an independent expert to assess the repairs<br />

and damage.<br />

• If there is no damage and the repairs have been carried<br />

out correctly, you pay nothing, and our contract is<br />

terminated.<br />

• However, if damage is found or the repairs are substandard,<br />

we fund everything it takes to prove your<br />

claim until settlement.<br />

• We operate a “No win, No fee” system of funding.<br />

• At settlement we take back the costs outlaid and a<br />

percentage of the settlement.<br />

Coastal keeper headed<br />

to France for World Cup<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

COASTAL SPIRIT goalkeeper<br />

Una Foyle has had the last laugh<br />

over the boys who wouldn’t pass<br />

the ball to her.<br />

The former Rangi Ruru Girls’<br />

School student was a shock<br />

call-up for the New Zealand<br />

under-20 football World Cup in<br />

France next month. The team<br />

flew out last week.<br />

She joins fellow Coastal Spirit<br />

teammates, defender Rebecca<br />

Lake and utility Talia Herman-<br />

Watt. Watt is the non-travelling<br />

reserve.<br />

Foyle has made the most of<br />

her ability between the goal<br />

posts after making the move to<br />

the position five years ago. “The<br />

boys I was playing with just<br />

stopped passing the ball to me<br />

so my coach put me back in goal<br />

and I guess it’s worked out,” she<br />

said.<br />

Foyle missed the cut for the<br />

first New Zealand under-20<br />

wider training squad at the start<br />

of the year and thought her<br />

chance had vanished. However,<br />

she was called into the training<br />

squad for the final camp a<br />

fortnight ago and won the right<br />

to pack her bags for France.<br />

“It was a massive shock and<br />

surprise to be named after<br />

missing out initially in the wider<br />

The Blind Care Company has been<br />

cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds<br />

for over 60 years. Those six decades<br />

have seen changes in both fashion and<br />

technology. Styles have ranged from<br />

festooned fabric swags to straightforward<br />

and still popular holland roller blinds,<br />

from vertical to horizontal slat systems,<br />

and in every colour or pattern popular<br />

since the 1960s.<br />

Whatever your style, the Blind Care<br />

squad,” she said.<br />

“I just kept sending (the coach)<br />

videos of what I was doing down<br />

here and how I was going and I<br />

guess it worked.”<br />

Lake, 19, has been a regular in<br />

the national age-group set-up.<br />

“This is a reward for all of the<br />

SPORTS<br />

early morning sessions and the<br />

late nights,” she said.<br />

“I’ve played against most of<br />

the girls I’m now teammates<br />

with, so at least there will be<br />

familiarity there,” the former<br />

Marian College student said.<br />

Both Foyle and Lake split their<br />

time between Coastal Spirit’s top<br />

women’s side and the 17th grade<br />

boys team.<br />

Under new Coastal Spirit<br />

football development manager<br />

Gary Bennett, the club is<br />

making a big push so girls and<br />

women’s football can prosper<br />

next season.<br />

“I have a real passion for girls<br />

and women’s football and have<br />

been heavily involved in it for a<br />

number of years, particularly in<br />

the United States and Canada,”<br />

he said.<br />

“We would love to see girls of<br />

all ages and ability at Coastal,<br />

from mini-football, juniors,<br />

youth through to senior women.<br />

We are particularly looking<br />

to strengthen our numbers to<br />

support our successful women’s<br />

premier league team for next<br />

season,” he said.<br />

dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue<br />

can be removed so that your blinds<br />

smell fresh and are restored to their<br />

original glory. The company can repair<br />

blinds also, having a huge range of parts<br />

in stock. And if you want something<br />

completely new, a great range of blinds is<br />

available for purchase.<br />

The company prides itself on efficient<br />

service, providing a fast turn-around,<br />

with most work taking one or two<br />

days, and a same day cleaning option is<br />

available. It makes it as easy as possible<br />

for clients. The Cashel Street location<br />

couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup<br />

and drop-off service is available. 150<br />

blinds per day can be cleaned at this site.<br />

A cut-down and size alteration service<br />

is available in order that the blinds you<br />

bought are a perfect fit.<br />

They are experts in their field with a<br />

huge amount of experience to draw on.<br />

In fact, all their staff has been on board<br />

for at least 8 years, and many up to 20<br />

years. Whatever the job involves, they<br />

will work hard to make sure it gets done,<br />

including one job of 800 blinds which<br />

they completed in 4 days.<br />

BURWOOD BOXER Daniel<br />

Meehan has taken another<br />

step towards the New Zealand<br />

Golden Gloves in Christchurch<br />

with an impressive win at an<br />

Anzac boxing tournament in<br />

Auckland on Sunday.<br />

The 15-yearold<br />

from<br />

Christchurch<br />

Boys’ High<br />

School won his<br />

bout against<br />

Hamilton’s<br />

Navahn<br />

Guilmore by<br />

unanimous<br />

decision, which<br />

included a<br />

standing eight<br />

count in the<br />

second round.<br />

The current<br />

under-57kg<br />

cadet grade New<br />

Zealand and<br />

Australian national champion<br />

improved his record to 16-1.<br />

He is following in the<br />

footsteps of his father Danny,<br />

who had more than 120 fights<br />

when he was based in the<br />

Manawatu district.<br />

Daniel has been training<br />

for the past five years under<br />

Wainoni-based Smiling Tigers<br />

Boxing Club coach Mark Fuller.<br />

“I started with dad five years<br />

ago just hitting the pads in<br />

the garage,” he said. “Initially,<br />

I wasn’t very good but after a<br />

while I really grew to love it.”<br />

He was a gold medallist in the<br />

under-57kg cadet grade at the<br />

New Zealand and Australian<br />

nationals and will be looking to<br />

defend both titles this year.<br />

Daniel’s only loss came two<br />

years ago and,<br />

since then, he has<br />

learnt the value<br />

of nutrition and<br />

fitness and the<br />

impact it can<br />

have over three<br />

2min boxing<br />

rounds. Fuller<br />

said Daniel<br />

has plenty of<br />

potential and<br />

the biggest issue<br />

is finding him<br />

bouts. Daniel<br />

said he likes to<br />

stay busy inside<br />

Daniel Meehan<br />

the ring and<br />

likes to use his<br />

overhand right. He said his dad<br />

is supportive of his sport and<br />

strikes the right balance with his<br />

involvement.<br />

“He’s always there for a word<br />

of encouragement or advice, but<br />

he lets me be my own boxer,” he<br />

said.<br />

Daniel said after being in the<br />

Canterbury set-up for the past<br />

few years, he is keen to gain<br />

more chances to represent New<br />

Zealand.<br />

circle location.<br />

Superb sea views provide the backdrop to<br />

ease.<br />

Sliding stacking doors on each level promote<br />

fantastic indoor/outdoor access to the extensive<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />

has b en a proached in a bid to<br />

fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />

Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />

Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />

counci lor David East wants<br />

WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />

park’s private owners into<br />

repairing the potholes which are<br />

a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />

WorkSafe chief inspector<br />

a se sment southern Da ren<br />

Handforth said it may be able to<br />

take action under the Health and<br />

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />

person conducting a busine s or<br />

undertaking.”<br />

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />

is aware of the concerns raised by<br />

Cr East abou the car park.<br />

“WorkSafe has completed<br />

an a se sment visi to the site<br />

and is engaging with the owner<br />

to advise them that it is their<br />

responsibility to manage their<br />

risks a propriately.”<br />

Different parts of the car park<br />

are owned by various people<br />

and the Coastal-Burw od<br />

Community Board recently<br />

wrote to them about its concerns<br />

around health and safety.<br />

Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />

in the past has b en ge ting in<br />

touch with the landlords and<br />

owners and ge ting them to<br />

agr e to anything. “The board<br />

a preciates that multi-ownership<br />

of the parking space may present<br />

a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />

to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />

said the le ter.<br />

One reply has b en received so<br />

far from an owner who is wi ling<br />

to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />

the owners would have to agr e<br />

to undertake work.<br />

Cr East said there had b en<br />

a “number of incidences” in<br />

the car park of people injuring<br />

themselves whic had gone<br />

unreported.<br />

“I’ve always though that it<br />

has b en quite amazing that we<br />

haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />

or senior citizens perhaps<br />

tri ping in those potholes and<br />

doing themselve some damage.”<br />

He is confiden the new<br />

a proach wi l bring results.<br />

“I think the WorkSafe<br />

involvement may prove to be the<br />

lever that we are l oking for.”<br />

New bid to fix potholes<br />

Action looms<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />

Community Board has taken the<br />

rare step of starting a petition<br />

to figh the city council over<br />

funding.<br />

Signatures are being co lected<br />

in a bid to get funding for a community<br />

facility in Shirley.<br />

It comes after the city council<br />

removed funding for the centre<br />

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />

was the site of the former community<br />

centre, which was badly<br />

damaged in the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake.<br />

The removal o funding<br />

prompted community board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />

to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />

in the ditch” project.<br />

Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />

is to represen the community,<br />

and by gathering signatures from<br />

residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />

role.<br />

“One of the roles of a community<br />

board is to represent and act<br />

as advocate for the interests of its<br />

community and this is what we<br />

are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />

plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

Cave Rock<br />

Apartments’<br />

owners<br />

expect EQC<br />

sign-off<br />

this week<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />

Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />

Body corporate chairman Mike<br />

White said the group had gone<br />

into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />

on February 20, and signed off<br />

on a deal with IAG on February<br />

2 – coincidentally seven years<br />

to the day after the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />

are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />

agr ement.<br />

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />

the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />

problem with them doing that.”<br />

The apartment suffere damage<br />

in the February and June, 20 1,<br />

earthquakes and were demolished in<br />

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />

difference betw en indemnity value,<br />

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />

corporate.<br />

The mediation agr ement<br />

prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />

the settlement amount, but he said it<br />

involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />

more money than they’d wanted to<br />

earlier.”<br />

A W OLSTON butcher proved<br />

to be a cut above the rest in an<br />

international competition.<br />

New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />

came second a the World<br />

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />

Ireland.<br />

It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />

had competed in the cha lenge<br />

and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />

how the team performed.<br />

“We produced some top quality<br />

products and came away<br />

with a g od result so we’re very<br />

ha py,” he said.<br />

The preparation for this year’s<br />

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />

intense as the team members<br />

met in Auckland every two<br />

months for lengthy w ekend<br />

practices.<br />

Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />

butcher for 14 years, said the<br />

competition brought back his<br />

pa sion for the job.<br />

“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />

m eting new people, s eing new<br />

ideas, it just brings that flair<br />

back for you,” he said.<br />

Mr Gart hopes t own a<br />

butcher shop of his own someday<br />

but says for now he wi l focus<br />

on ge ting mor experience<br />

and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />

“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />

going back to try and win the<br />

title,” he said.<br />

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />

traders acro s the districts could<br />

be l oming.<br />

However, the public has li tle<br />

interest in having input into the<br />

i sue.<br />

Only eight submi sions were<br />

received for a potential bylaw<br />

aimed at regulating commercial<br />

activities in public places.<br />

The district council wi l be<br />

holding a hearing for the Public<br />

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />

Activities and Events in<br />

Public Places.<br />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

held on Thursday.<br />

The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />

number of mobile traders<br />

are s eking t operate in Selwyn,<br />

especia ly during the summer<br />

months.<br />

In the past year, the district<br />

council has received five inquiries<br />

about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />

on private or public land.<br />

A report said there are two<br />

str et operators in Darfield, a<br />

coff e cart is parked beside the<br />

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za<br />

cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en<br />

Pupils learn about role of war horses<br />

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils<br />

have taken a step back in time,<br />

s eing first hand what men and<br />

horses l oked like during war.<br />

The New Zealand Mounted<br />

Rifles Charitable Trust president<br />

Mark A pleton and member<br />

Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />

horses to the sch ol on Monday,<br />

in a bid to educate pupils on the<br />

sacrifice their ancestors made in<br />

World War 1 and World War 2.<br />

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson<br />

a rived a the sch ol dre sed<br />

in World War 1 uniforms while<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />

to the trust.<br />

The presentation is a prelude<br />

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />

Management Commi t e’s<br />

upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />

As a tribute to those who<br />

served, members of the trust wi l<br />

ride horseback to the service.<br />

Mr A pleton said it was<br />

important children were<br />

educated on what soldiers<br />

wen through during World<br />

War 1 and World War 2.<br />

But he said the presentation<br />

didn’t go into t o much detail<br />

and was more of a “show and<br />

te l” to make them aware of what<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />

Children were shown the type<br />

of kits horses were required to<br />

wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />

has proven himself to be a cut<br />

above his Au sie rivals at an<br />

international competition.<br />

Elite Meats owner Corey<br />

Winder was named in the a l<br />

star team a the World Butchers’<br />

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />

Mr Winder and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />

includes W olston butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />

in the competition.<br />

He said the cha lenge started<br />

as a “transtasman test match”<br />

seven years ago.<br />

The preparation for this<br />

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />

was intense as the team<br />

members met in Auckland<br />

every two months for lengthy<br />

w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />

said coming second against 1<br />

other countries was a “fantastic”<br />

result.<br />

“To get second behind Ireland<br />

was a huge achievement and to<br />

be ahead of Australia is an<br />

even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />

said.<br />

But Mr Winder admires the<br />

Australian team.<br />

“Those guys over there<br />

[Australia] are on top of their<br />

game, they do a g od job,” he<br />

said.<br />

“And it just showcases that<br />

New Zealand has got some<br />

of the best butchers in the<br />

world,” he said.<br />

Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />

since the age of 19.<br />

Ri carton Community Board<br />

has b en given the gr en ligh to<br />

Templeton.<br />

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />

board on Thursday it had the okay<br />

from the city council to make a<br />

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />

for a resource consen to create a<br />

qua ry.<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

told Western News the submi sion<br />

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />

plan.<br />

“You can just about guarant e<br />

it . because we [the community<br />

board] don’t believe qua ries<br />

should be so close to residential<br />

areas,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />

the city council would endorse the<br />

board’ submi sion.<br />

“I’d like to think so because the<br />

city council has had their eyes<br />

open as we l ove recent years over<br />

the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said the community<br />

board wi l be “representing and<br />

advocating” for the Templeton<br />

community.<br />

IT COULD be some time before<br />

charges are laid in relation to the<br />

fatal hit-and-run in Dallington.<br />

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg<br />

Cottam said yesterday the vehicle<br />

involved in the crash last week<br />

was still being examined.<br />

He said there was still a lot of<br />

work to do to gather all the information<br />

and finish police inquiries<br />

before any charges would be laid.<br />

“They can take some time,” he<br />

said.<br />

“We’ve got six months to lay<br />

charges in relation to traffic offending<br />

– it certainly won’t take<br />

that long.”<br />

Steffan Pearce-<br />

Loe (right), 30, was<br />

hit by a vehicle<br />

near the Gayhurst<br />

Rd bridge while<br />

walking his dogs at<br />

about 2.30am last<br />

Thursday.<br />

He died in hospital<br />

from his injuries on Friday.<br />

His funeral was held on Tuesday.<br />

Police found the vehicle<br />

involved, which had damage<br />

consistent with the crash, on Saturday.<br />

A detective saw it parked<br />

up a driveway.<br />

The vehicle’s owner, who was<br />

driving, has been interviewed by<br />

police.<br />

Detective Senior Sergeant Cottam<br />

remained tight-lipped about<br />

the driver. •Turn to page 6<br />

entertaining, these compositions dazzled<br />

18th century nobility with their easy<br />

charms. Zero’s unique timbres and<br />

brilliant virtuosity is no less beguiling<br />

today.”<br />
