Petition grows over bus stop plan
Cafe, seven
shops
will lose
car parks
• By Sophie Cornish
A PROPOSAL to relocate two
bus stops less than 150m down
Innes Rd has angered Mairehau
shop owners, who say it will
mean a loss of parking for up to
eight businesses.
A petition against the changes
started by Flower Bazaar owners
Des Banks and Ian Harvey collected
more than 700 signatures
in seven days.
The city council is proposing
the relocation of several bus stops
in the area to align with Environment
Canterbury’s changes to
the Orbiter and Shirley 44 bus
routes, to accommodate for the
opening of the Christchurch
Northern Corridor. QE II Drive
will become four-laned and a
right turn in and out of Philpotts
Rd will not be possible, meaning
a change to the Orbiter’s route.
The proposal includes moving
two bus stops on each side of
Innes Rd between Mahars Rd
and Philpotts Rd west.
This will mean the bus stop
will be right in front of a line
of shops, removing seven car
parks, leaving four immediate
businesses without carparks and
“probably another four” businesses
OPTION also, said ONEMr
Banks.
FIGHTING BACK: Innes Rd business owners (from left) Ian Harvey, Charmaine Fright, Trang Dinh and Des Banks are upset a
proposal to relocate two bus stops many eliminate their parking.
“People are just so angry about
it . . . . it will eliminate our foot
traffic. You know yourself, if you
grab a coffee and you can’t park
close you keep on driving to the
next place.”
Mairehau Community Pharmacy
manager Andrew Brown
said the shops rely on the parking
and is confused by the proposal,
when the original stops are closeby.
“I could walk to the bus stop
already in less than a minute. It’s
not even a big move, it’s not like
it’s going to enable things happening
that weren’t happening.”
City council acting manager
operations transport Ryan
Rolston said the proposal aims
to place the bus stops closer to
Philpotts Rd and the pedestrian
crossing on Innes Rd. He said
city council was aware the proposed
changes would mean a loss
of parking for businesses.
“No decisions have been made
at this stage. This is a proposal
and staff will be looking closely
at concerns raised in submissions
and what improvements may
address those. This could include
considering other bus stop locations,”
he said.
Restore your oiled CEDAR BLINDS with our re-oiling service.
Mairehau Primary School
principal John Bangma said the
proposal “defies logic.”
“Our main concerns are about
safety of children. If there was a
bus parked where the new stops
will be, it’s going to be very difficult
for our children on patrol
in the mornings to be able to see
past the bus to check if are cars
coming.”

COMMUNITY GROUPS and
others deserve a pat on the back for an
initiative to keep people warm this winter
(see page 5).
The price of electricity and wood is tough
on many. So tough that a Salvation Army survey reveals nearly
half of New Zealanders have gone without heating because of
the cost.
So it’s great to see needy families getting firewood deliveries.
For Rachel Curry it comes as a huge relief. Her last power bill
was $700.
Now that is a staggering bill, brought about because she had
an oil heater on continuously to keep her family warm.
Hot water bottles and blankets may have eased the pain of
that power bill, but at least now she has wood to heat her home.

Campbell in bid to extend booze ban
Bylaw review
chance to
make change
• By Sophie Cornish
ALCOHOL restrictions could
be put in place in Elmwood

McLeans Island if a community
board member gets his way.
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood

night with Crime Watch Papanui
and found that part of its work
involved cleaning up litter in
places where it appeared people
had been drinking, such as
Elmwood Park in Merivale.
“It’s not their job to pick up the
litter but they do it,” he said.
“It wouldn’t affect the onlicences.
The bowling and tennis
clubs have on-licenses for their
clubrooms and that wouldn’t affect
that at all.”
“It just gives the police additional
powers if need be,” he said.
Mr Campbell wants popular
lake spot Roto Kohatu Reserve
included in the alcohol ban area,
as well as McLeans Island.
“It’s one 10th of the one per
cent of idiots who get drunk and
drive fast down that gravel road
. . . it’s also a swimming area and
a water sports and recreation
area. How well does alcohol mix
with swimming?”
Mr Campbell said the type of
ban would depend on talks between
city council staff and the
groups that use the areas.
The community board will
make a submission early next
month on the bylaw, in which
it will put forward its recommendation.
Mr Campbell said
he may also make an individual
submission, asking city council
to consider a night ban in the
Summit Rd area too.

About 60,000 people are

Ms Elliott is one of eight designers

Massacre survivors dig in at planting
MASSACRE SURVIVORS from
Parkland, Florida, have helped
plant 3300 trees in a Marshland
reserve, to recognise New
Zealand Defence Force members
– past and present.
The planting event, Matariki Tu
Rākau held at Ouruhia Reserve,
is part of the One Billion Trees
programme, helping to mark nationwide
commemorations of the
end of World War I 100 years ago.
Members of the Student Volunteer
Army, Citycare staff, Styx
Living Laboratory Trust volunteers
and Ouruhia School pupils
also took part.
It is part of an initiative to plant
350,000 trees to commemorate
soldiers who served overseas.
SVA president Josh Blackmore
said the event was part of the
Christchurch and Parkland
Youth Leadership summit involving
visiting American students.
During the visit from the
students, the two groups were
able to share their experiences of
mobilising after tragedies.
Seventeen totara trees were also
planted in Halswell Quarry Park
last week, to honour the 17 killed
in the third deadliest school
shooting in United States history.
City council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said the planting
in Marshland, which was
dominated by totara, will provide
a buffer between planned sports
fields and the Northern Arterial
Motorway.
“It will contribute to a series of
native forest patches across the
city that aims to support current
and future bush bird populations
and will be a key node on the Ka
Putahi Creek leg of the proposed
Styx Source to Sea Reserve Network,”
he said.
The planting is part of ongoing
work across the Styx River catchment
that aims to support the
city council’s Styx Vision 2000
– 2040, focusing on a spring-fed
river ecosystem and a source to
sea experience, including a living
laboratory.

KIND DONATION: Blackwells City Mazda dealer principal Seth
Ovens with Robyn and Analise Twemlow.
CHRISTCHURCH mum
Robyn Twemlow is out to make
a difference in the lives of
those diagnosed with Tourette
Syndrome - and last week
received $10,000 from the Mazda
Foundation to aid her cause.
Tourette’s is a condition characterised
by tics, repetitive and
involuntary movements.
Five years ago, Ms Twemlow’s
then-nine-year-old daughter
Analise was diagnosed with the
syndrome.
But the pair found there was
little support for them in the
community.
Ms Twemlow founded the
Tourette’s Association of New
Zealand as a way for her family
to connect with other affected
Kiwis.
As well as running a support
system for families and an information
hub for those who have
been recently diagnosed, the
Tourette’s Association also began
running a yearly camp called
Camp Twitch.
It brings together young people
with Tourette’s and their families
for a weekend of fun where their
tics are welcomed.
At Blackwells City Mazda
last week Ms Twemlow was
presented with $10,000 from the
Mazda Foundation to help run
Camp Twitch, enabling more
than 50 young people and their
families to attend the camp.
Ms Twemlow said the funding
would reduce the financial stress
of families living with Tourette’s
and allows young people from
any financial background to attend
the camp.
She said Camp Twitch is an
environment where children can
“tic loud and proud.”
“It’s amazing to see them build
their self-esteem and take ownership
over their disorder. It also
provides opportunity for parents
to share their experiences of
raising a child with Tourette
Syndrome – so it’s an empowering
experience for all involved.”

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

High Court
date set
in bid
to stop
Belfast water
consents
A PRELIMINARY hearing in
the High Court on October
2 is set to address a water
action group’s bid to stop two
companies taking water from
sites in Belfast then selling it
overseas.
Aotearoa Water Action is
contesting Environment Canterbury’s
decision to grant resource
consents to bottling companies
Cloud Ocean Water and Rapaki
Natural Resources.
AWA opposes an argument
from the bottling companies
that they did not need new consents
to take the water, which
could see up to 24 million litres
a day removed.
The consents are based on
historical permits for the Silver
Fern Farms works and the Kaputone
Wool Scour.
Said AWA spokesman Peter
Richardson: “The companies
say they are entitled to rely on
the previous plant owners’ use
consents, but those consents
were for entirely different purposes
– wool scouring and meat
processing. We don’t think that’s
right.”
“ECan correctly required
these companies to apply for
new consents, although in our
view it then processed the consents
unlawfully,” he said.
If AWA is successful, there
will be a further hearing at a later
date on whether the consents
were granted legally by ECan.
The Bottle Off! campaign has
been created to support the legal
action and an online PledgeMe
campaign has raised more than
$40,000.
A petition with about 115,000
signatures calling for the end
of foreign companies selling
bottled Christchurch water was
handed to ECan in April.

CHANGE: Burnside High School student E Wen Wong wants young people to
take action to reduce plastic pollution.
Youths fight against
plastic waste
Burnside
High
School
student E
Wen Wong
writes
about
young
people and plastic
pollution
IN MID-JULY, I returned
home from my third New
Zealand Model United
Nations conference.
Over four days in Wellington,
the heart of New
Zealand’s political sphere,
I was surrounded by a
rich atmosphere of young
people dedicated to fostering
positive change in their
communities.
Much like many UN
youth events, NZMUN
2018 was met with a host of
change-makers, leaders and
aspiring diplomats who,
just like me, recognise the
important role of young
people in local, national
and global decision-making.
However, as an environmental
advocate, I also
recognise that Christchurch’s
youth lack a range of
NEW Brighton businesses
and residents are pleading
for its iconic fireworks
event to stay in the suburb.
The annual Guy Fawkes
event has come under
scrutiny from the city
council as part of a citywide
review of all councilrun
events.
City council head of
community support,
governance and
partnerships John Filsell
said for a number of years
it has received feedback on
equally accessible platforms
to express their environmental
views, especially
around the growing issue of
plastic pollution.
After identifying a space
for growth in this area, in
2016 I founded P.S. Our
Beaches, an organisation
dedicated to raising awareness
of the plastic pollution
issue. This organisation has
grown since and now has
exciting plans for a conference
called EnviroPAST
(Plastic And Sustainability
Talks) set for next year.
From this project, I want
youth not only to be aware
of the plastic pollution
issue, but motivated to
make real change. I hope
that, through EnviroPAST,
we can provide not just
a conference that comes
and goes, but a space for
all youth to network with
those passionate about the
same issues as them.
As a young person, I
believe we are inheriting an
earth that is increasingly
damaged and, as such,
we are in a better place to
understand and proceed
with decisions on how we
can preserve the land and
traffic management and
congestion. He said it is a
health and safety issue due
to New Brighton having
limitations on its entry and
exit points.
“The roadworks in
this area over the years
have also added to the
congestion difficulties.
With a mass egress at
the conclusion of the
event contributing to the
disruption,” Mr Filsell said.
But the city council
confirmed the Guy Fawkes
seas in a sustainable light.
The Zero Carbon Bill,
plastic-free movement,
ECan youth engagement
schemes and the Burnside
High School environment
group’s amazing tree
planting work are all
examples of beacons
of change for our local
communities.
However, these are
schemes all youth – not just
those perceived as leaders
or future politicians –
should be part of. I believe
young people have a calling
to break the stereotypes of a
teenage culture and actively
engage in issues like
plastic pollution, be it by
partaking in conversations,
staying in campaign
loops or minimising
their individual plastic
footprints.
To do this, the
facilitation of accessible
events, platforms and
conversations with a range
of Christchurch youth
is key. I believe that it is
initiatives like these, led
by youth, for youth, that
give our city the best
hope of achieving a truly
sustainable future.
Fireworks event under review
event will go ahead as
previous years and, if there
are any changes, they will
not be implemented this
year. The city council’s
Sparks, New Year’s Eve
and KidsFest events are
also under review as part
of the Community Events
Implementation Plan
process.
About 500 residents will
be surveyed city-wide on
the events. The fireworks
have been running at the
pier since 1997.

Readers respond to an
article about Northwood
residents continuing their
battle to upgrade the
intersection of Main North
Rd, Northwood Blvd and
Radcliffe Rd, which they
believe is dangerous
Caleb Ward – The council
asked a few years ago for the public
to make informal submissions
via the comments section on The
Press website on intersections
needing improving. Many people
suggested a right turn arrow for
cars turning out of Radcliffe Rd.
So what did they do? Put in a left
turning arrow.
Brian Tones – Teach drivers
to be more considerate.
Megan Malone – I use this
intersection nearly every day. It
works as long as people know
the road rules. It’s not just this
intersection, the problem is
nationwide. There needs to be a
campaign to promote the rule
about turning.
Nicola Joy Fidler – We were
driving past there one day and
there was a man lying on the
road. Don’t know whether he was
hit or fell over. Hope he was okay.
Jill van der Plas – It’s a terrible
intersection. It needs right
turning arrows that actually turn
green so that people know they
are going to be able to turn right
eventually and therefore don’t
have to take risks.
CHANGES COMING: Residents want safety improvements at
the intersection of Harewood, Breens and Gardiners Rds.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Sarah Elizabeth – If you
know this intersection then it’s
not an issue if you follow the
rules. I go there every week and
have no issue. I wait till I know.
Rushing isn’t worth it.
Mark Odgers – It’s pretty
simple, just put in right turning
arrows from Radcliffe to Main
North Rd. Put signs on both
sides telling them to turn into the
inside lane. The pedestrian crossing
needs to be moved as that is
causing massive build-ups making
people impatient and forcing
them to make stupid decisions
and run red lights.
Barry Clarke – If they had
green right turning arrows it
would be a lot safer. The clowns
who say no to the green arrows

Redwood butcher goes mobile
A MOBILE butcher from
Redwood has taken off in
Rolleston.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder has expanded his business
by setting up a moveable
butchery from a small truck.
Mr Winder, who has been a
butcher since he was 19-yearsold,
said the reaction has been
“amazing.”
“People have just been blown
away by it,” he said.
The idea for the mobile butchery
came from residents’ requests
to have a shop in other places,
such as Rolleston and West
Melton.
“I thought, well, it’s not that
easy to open a butcher shop, so
I’ll see if I can get a mobile one
going,” Mr Winder said.
He is selling the same products
found in the Elite Meats store in
Bush Inn.
“If we haven’t got it on the
truck, then we take orders and
we take the order out of whatever
they want the following week,”
Mr Winder said.
In March, Mr Winder was
named in the all star team at the
Gerry
Brownlee
World Butchers’ Challenge in
Northern Ireland. His team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, finished
second in the competition.
The mobile butcher will be
open outside the South Point
complex in Faringdon, Rolleston,
on Thursdays, from 2-6.30pm,
and 9am-5.30pm outside
Vegeland on Marshland Rd on
weekends.
“It’s one of those things, we’re
trying to take small steps to get
it right rather than rushing out
to all these different places,” Mr
Winder said.
this is extra scary) as people take
unnecessary risks to cross or turn
without checking to see where
other traffic may be turning too.
Constantly there
are piles of debris
from crashes at the
corners and fences
of homes busted.
Maybe no one has
died there yet but
are we willing to
wait? The person
that dies may be
one of the many
Breens, Harewood or Cotswold
pupils who have to get across that
busy intersection.
What I haven’t read much
about in all this is the fact that
Harewood Rd has become so
much busier since there is no
longer a right turn off Russley Rd
on to Wairakei Rd, so more people
need to use Harewood Rd.
So, to answer the question, yes,
I think NZTA should help fund
lights at this intersection and
the council should stop mucking
around saying there are other options.
No, there aren’t, and
the fact they are putting unnecessary
lights in at places
such as outside the Papanui
Club on Sawyers Arms Rd
and the Sawyers Arms Rd
entrance to Northlands
Mall shows they have no
idea what they are doing,
nor have they consulted
with the people that actually
drive those roads.

FREE digital media course, with NCEA built in
For those looking for a role that combines
artistic and digital talents, then this outstanding,
FREE, entry level course has just been announced
by local Training Provider Trainme, for those
wishing to pursue animation, graphic design,
photography or digital media as a career.
The course covers introduction to multi-media
techniques such as video production, drawing,
animation and photography. Students will create
their own design concepts and collaborate with
other students on creative projects.
This course is FREE to students aged 16 to 19
and they only have to have NCEA 1 to join.
Students without NCEA 1 can be admitted, if they
show artistic or digital aptitude.
“Many feel that school is not working for them
or they left without qualifications,” says Gary
Taylor, Campus Manager with tertiary educator
Trainme. “While not necessarily academically
minded, they do have artistic talents and are very
much into digital technology.”
“This FREE six-month Trainme course, combines
these in a very hands-on, practical way, giving
them an intro into various digital media. This way,
they can decide which direction to pursue as their
career focus.”
“As an NZQA approved programme, NCEA
credits are built in, so if they apply themselves, they
can graduate with a New Zealand Certificate in Arts
and Design Level 2, as well as gaining credits
towards NCEA level 1 or 2.” Says Taylor.
“NCEA results will depend on how many credit
they bring to the course to start with, but as it’s a fun
subject, it won’t feel like school at all.”
Successful Graduates from this programme could
pathway into higher study in media arts, which could
include graphic design, video production,
photography or one of the many emerging digitalbased
careers. Places are limited, so students are
encouraged to apply as soon as they can.

tell you there are many problems
there without lights. I have seen
many near misses there, it is
only a question of time. If we
can waste millions of
dollars on a roof for a
rugby stadium, why
can’t we have a set of
lights on that intersection?
It is downright
dangerous, but
as usual it seems that
we have to wait until
something happens
there. As usual the
head is in the sand.
Yimei Lu – I am a resident
living in the Bishopdale area
and I used to travel through
that intersection every morning.
I found it is really difficult to
turn right from Gardiners Rd to
Harewood Rd. I could sometime
be stuck there for 5–7min and I
could see there was a huge queue
behind me. I also have a fiveyear-old
boy at Cotswold School
at the moment. In a few years
he will need to walk to Breens
Intermediate everyday. I will be
extremely concerned about his
safety as he needs to get across
the busy Harewood Rd at the
busiest times. I don’t understand
why installing lights will make
the intersection more unsafe. I
believe the traffic lights can at
least make sure people who need
to cross the road do so safely.
If council and NZTA take into
account the kids nearby from
Breens Intermediate, this should
definitely be done. I will be voting
to have lights installed at this
intersection.

Papanui High old boy earns
basketball scholarship in US
• By Jacob Page
FORMER PAPANUI High
School basketballer Carl Isitt
has had to be patient to earn
his United States scholarship
opportunity.
The 20-year-old, who lives in
Casebrook, has not been able
to play a competitive game this
year so he can remain eligible for
a scholarship.
His patience has paid off after
he signed on to play college basketball
for the Central Methodist
College in Fayette, Missouri.
Isitt is the son of former Rams
player Paul Isitt who was a hardworker
on the court during the
1990s.
“With dad being so involved,
we always had basketball being
around us and, while I played
cricket and rugby, basketball was
always a top priority,” he said.
Isitt said this year had been
challenging to maintain form
and fitness while staying focused
on his core goal of landing a
scholarship. “To remain eligible
I haven’t been able to play a competitive
game at all in 2018 and,
while I’ve been able to train with

leave for the US next month and
have his first game against Park

ST ANDREW’S College striker
Declan Hickford’s right boot is
showing no signs of failing him.
The 17-year-old has scored
29 goals in eight games in the
Connetics first XI secondary
school competition, including
seven last week in a 9-2 win over
Lincoln High School that lifted
his team to third.
He has scored 90 goals for
the first XI since debuting four
years ago. The tally is believed
to be a school record and, with
four games to go in the competition,
plus a national secondary
schools campaign still to come,
Hickford is likely to hit triple
figures at some point.
“There are times when I think
to myself that the great run I’ve
had must come to an end at
some point, but that’s my job –
to score goals,” he said.

CHBS boxer extends
winning record to 16-1
• By Jacob Page
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High
School boxer Daniel Meehan
has taken another step towards
the New Zealand Golden
Gloves in Christchurch with
an impressive win at an Anzac
boxing tournament in Auckland
on Sunday.
The 15-yearold
from
Burwwod won
his bout against
Hamilton’s
Navahn Guilmore
by unanimous
decision, which
included a
standing eight
count in the
second round.
The current
under-57kg
cadet grade
New Zealand
and Australian
national
champion improved his record
to 16-1.
He is following in the
footsteps of his father Danny,
who had more than 120 fights
when he was based in the
Manawatu district.
Daniel has been training
for the past five years under
Wainoni-based Smiling Tigers
Boxing Club coach Mark Fuller.
“I started with dad five years
ago just hitting the pads in
the garage,” he said. “Initially,
I wasn’t very good but after a
while I really grew to love it.”
He was a gold medallist in the
under-57kg cadet grade at the
New Zealand and Australian
nationals and will be looking to
defend both titles this year.
Daniel’s only loss came two
years ago and,
since then, he has
learnt the value
of nutrition and
fitness and the
impact it can
have over three
2min boxing
rounds. Fuller
said Daniel has
plenty of potential
and the biggest
issue is finding
him bouts. Daniel
said he likes to
stay busy inside
Daniel Meehan the ring and
likes to use his
overhand right. He said his dad
is supportive of his sport and
strikes the right balance with his
involvement.
“He’s always there for a word
of encouragement or advice, but
he lets me be my own boxer,” he
said. Daniel said after being in
the Canterbury set-up for the
past few years, he is keen to gain
more chances to represent New
Zealand.
Archery club’s plan for new
Rawhiti facility hits a snag
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A “PRESSING need” to build
a year- round weather facility
to support archery at Rawhiti
Domain continues to be put on
hold.
The Christchurch Archery
Club has been battling for more
than three years to have its lease
at Rawhiti Domain renewed by
the city council.
While the lease is not up for
renewal until 2021, the club is
planning a $350,000 extension
to its current facility and “desperately”
needs to secure a lease
for the next 20 years.
A letter was presented to the
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board last week on the issue. The
club’s past president and facilities
convener Bill Skews said it
has been trying to get the lease
secured for the past three years.
Mr Skews said it has been
based at the domain for more
than 25 years and has been a
good tenant.
But city council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said initial information
provided by the club
was “incomplete” and it required
further information to approve
the new lease.
As a result, the lease has been
placed on hold.

to the Athletics Canterbury clubrooms
and track. It is planning
to extend its current building by
580 sq m to allow for shooting
distances of 18-25m.
The club has been fundraising
for the project for about 10 years
and currently has $135,000 saved
to go towards the building.
Mr Skews said the extension
will be a training centre for its
youth and senior archers.
The club has about 90 members
and another 60 who do
courses throughout the year.
The extension is expected to
be co -funded by organisations
including the Lotteries
Commission and the
community board, as well as
fundraising and fees from the
use of the facility.
Mr Skews said the club won’t
be doing further fundraising
until it knows it has the lease.
The club has hosted major
events like the Stoke Mandeville
Games, International Fire
Fighters Games and ANZ
national championships.

for Burnside

TWO BURNSIDE Primary
School teachers have been
recognised for designing an
innovative oral language
programme to help new entrant
pupils struggling with language
skills.
Trudi Browne and Nic
Rickard were one of five
winners of The Education Hub’s
inaugural Bright Spots Awards.
The awards recognise innovative
education initiatives
to address challenges facing
New Zealand schools. After
realising that up to 70 per cent
of children starting at their
school lacked the necessary
language skills to be confident
learners, the pair teamed up
with speech language therapist
Sharne Quickenden to develop
a bespoke oracy framework.
It comprises specific tools to
support pupils to build oral language
skills and an accompanying
professional development
programme for teachers.
The Education Hub chairwoman
Maury Leyland said the
importance of oral language
skills as a foundation for early
literacy is well established in
educational research.
The winners receive funding
and a two-year professional development
programme funded
by NEXT Foundation.
Samoan experience for Christ’s students
• By Sophie Cornish
A GROUP of Christ’s College

during a working trip which they
funded themselves.
Twelve year 13 students
worked during the school holidays
to raise $1200 to travel to
Satitoa village, located on the
eastern end of the main island of
Upolu.
Assistant principal Neil Porter
said parents were not allowed to
pay for the eight-day trip which
saw the students volunteering at
a pre-school.
“We also undertake fundraising
to cover our internal costs
and the costs of paint and materials
as well as equipment for the

The biennial trip has been running

The backstory of
T he A natomy of M elancholy • P art i: I dentity
by
Simon van der Sluijs
*Melancholy: a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause.
**Identity: the fact of being who or what a person or thing is.
I have always been fascinated by trying to visualise human nature, who are we, what
drives us, what moves us, and my personal experiences were more than enough to
explore. A trilogy to allow myself to create a deeper narrative to be more universal
and existential rather than being just about me. I chose ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’
because I feel that it best represents my work and the person I am. Part 1 is about
identity because to me it is the source of melancholy and so that is where the trilogy
needs to start. It shows drawings, paintings and small objects.
Generally the work on show deals with the desire to belong, to be allowed to be, through
confirmation of our fellow beings, and of getting damaged in the process.
There are two separate sections within the exhibition: ‘Little Sorrows’ and ‘Intimacies’
Little Sorrows
Our pets contribute to our identity. Inevitably having a pet also means that the day will
come we have to farewell it ‘Little Sorrows’ is what can happen when we can’t let go
and try to either recreate the friend we were so fond of or make an effort in taxidermy
to preserve through small paintings of mice, hamsters and goldfish and faux taxidermy
objects, mainly in ‘museum boxes’ and under bell jars.
Intimacies (Explicit content)
Sexual identity is the way we think of ourselves in relationship to whom we are
romantically or sexually attracted to. Growing up in a Catholic environment sexuality was
definitely not a topic of discussion or acknowledged as an important part of being. This is
the reason I have made these paintings so small, they fit in a locket and can therefore be
‘locked away’ only to be enjoyed in a private atmosphere.
Part 1 Identity August 2018, Part 2 Dissectum April 2019 and Part 3 Lost and Found
November 2019. All shown at Little River Gallery.

Shoddy repairs
NOR’WEST NEWS
Advertising
FeAture
When I say “shoddy repairs” to
people in the North Island or the West
Island where I come from, they have
absolutely no idea what I’m talking
about. They have no understanding
what shoddy repairs really means.
That’s because anywhere else in the
world where a natural disaster has
occurred the Insurance company will
either do the repairs themselves and
stand behind those repairs or pay
cash out to you to take the risk and
do the repairs yourself.
Not in Christchurch, Christchurch is another reality,
we have EQC. After I left EQC and before I started
my business whenever I told anyone about my idea to
challenge EQC reports I lost count of the people that
told me,” You’re crazy”. I was told, “Your business
will never work here, don’t you know, we are the only
country in the world that has EQC, they will look after
us and we will never need to challenge their reports”.
After 7 years the truth is out there, and you must
challenge the EQC assessments and repairs carried out to
your homes.
“Who’s to blame”
The previous government want you to believe it was the
fault of the builders trying to cut corners. Of course, the
builders involved are not blameless, but, they are not
solely responsible. To many people this was just a series
of unfortunate events and gross incompetence. I do
not believe that, I believe this was a well-orchestrated
takeover of the entire process by the Government and
those beholden to it or benefiting from it. We all know
that all governments lie, some more than others. But
what happened here was a well thought-out, wellorchestrated
hoodwinking of an entire city and nation.
The tools the then government used included EQC,
The Red Zone, The Residential Advisory Service (RAS),
The Christchurch Home Repair Program (CHRP),
the media, the legal system, MBIE and professional
experts. The result is billions of dollars being denied to
homeowners with damaged homes and a damaged
Christchurch housing stock that will take generations to
recover.
Perhaps the most insidious program of all was the
Christchurch Home Repair Program (CHRP), with about
90,000 homes repaired under this program. I’m not going
to say all the repairs carried out were failures. What I will
say is that a significant amount of the more difficult repairs
had work done
on them that
did not meet
building standards let alone the much
higher standard of the insurance
policies. Significant damage has
been ignored and when challenged
explained away as pre-existing. After
seven years of re-assessing EQC
work we’ve seen it all. From a jandal
being used to pack a pile to a pile
being cut through so there was no
need to get a plumber to move a
pipe and EQC refusing to lift carpets
to see if the slabs were cracked.
THERE IS
NO TIME
TO DELAY,
YOU NEED
TO TAKE
ACTION
NOW
CHRP, but many, many more are
completely unaware of the damage
caused and damage ignored under
CHRP. We know EQC give estimates
of as low as 600 and as high as
3,000 homes that have suffered
shoddy repairs. I believe the actual
number is much higher, in the tens
of thousands, but only time will
tell. The fact is, no one knows the
actual number because there are no
records that could be relied upon.
Proper assessments were never done by EQC.
What we do know from fighting for so many homeowners
with shoddy repairs, is that many of the repairs have
covered up the actual damage. Foundation damage
hidden behind epoxy glue, plaster and paint, piles packed
on poor ground and doors and windows shaved to fit.
What you must do
To get justice you have to fight for your rights,
however getting justice is very expensive. You will
need to have very deep pockets and some or all of
the following: Builders, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors,
Geotech Engineers, Lawyers and a lot of your own
personal time. Or you can pass all of that on to us to
fund and manage.
If you can afford it
• you must get your repairs checked, by independent
experts.
• If there is unaddressed damage, get a lawyer. Find
one that doesn’t work for Insurance companies.
If you can’t afford it
• Call us, we are New Zealand’s largest earthquake
litigation funder.
• We pay for an independent expert to assess the repairs
and damage.
• If there is no damage and the repairs have been carried
out correctly, you pay nothing, and our contract is
terminated.
• However, if damage is found or the repairs are substandard,
we fund everything it takes to prove your
claim until settlement.
• We operate a “No win, No fee” system of funding.
• At settlement we take back the costs outlaid and a
percentage of the settlement.

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

Signatures are being co lected

It comes after the city council

was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,

The removal o funding

Ms Jone said the board’s role

“One of the roles of a community

Cave Rock

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

It was the firs time Mr Garth
had competed in the cha lenge
and he was “rea ly proud” of
how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality
products and came away
with a g od result so we’re very
ha py,” he said.
The preparation for this year’s
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was
intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two
months for lengthy w ekend
practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Gart hopes t own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the
title,” he said.

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

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

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

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-

has b en given the gr en ligh to

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

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