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 />

health and safety concerns<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 />

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 />

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 />

in our charter.<br />
our school is very keen to continue to foster strong relationships with our local<br />
tertiary institutions such as the university of canterbury, Te ara, Southern institute of<br />
Technology, and lincoln university.<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 />

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 />

impressive grades from the judges earning<br />
88/100 (average of 3 judges), then for his<br />

he earned 94/100<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 />

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 />
council.”<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 />

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-<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 />
