Plea to keep fireworks in Brighton
Review of
event’s future
under way
BRIGHT LIGHTS: The New
Brighton fireworks display is
under review as a result of
health and safety concerns

NEW BRIGHTON businesses
and residents are pleading for the
iconic annual fireworks event to
stay in the suburb.
The New Brighton Guy Fawkes
event has come under scrutiny
from the city council as part of
a city-wide review of all councilrun
events.
City council head of community
support, governance and
partnerships John Filsell said for
a number of years it has received
feedback on traffic
management
congestion.
He said it is a
health and safety
issue due to New
Brighton having
limitations on
its entry and exit
points.
John Filsell
At the time of the event, the
city council is required to only
have north and south exits out
of the area, with a central New
Brighton exit dedicated to a bus
service for 30min following the
event.
“The road works in this area
over the years have also added to
the congestion difficulties. With
a mass egress at the conclusion
of the event contributing to the
disruption,” Mr Filsell said.
But the city council confirmed
the Guy Fawkes event will go
ahead and, if there were to be
any changes, they would not be
implemented this year.
The Sparks, New Year’s Eve
and KidsFest events run by
the city council are also under
review as part of the Community
Events Implementation Plan
process.
About 500 residents will
be surveyed city-wide on city
council events. It wants feedback
about which events people had
attended over the past two years,
the locations of the events,
parking and the city council’s
event calender. Paper Plus New
Brighton owner Blair Hughes
said any event as popular as Guy
Fawkes will have traffic management
issues and the city council
should have the expertise to
manage the issues.
He said New Brighton is not
like Redcliffs or Sumner where
there is only one entrance, and
if the correct plan is put in place
there should not be an issue.
His views were backed by Bin
Inn New Brighton owner Nikki
Griffin, who said it should be an
issue that can be resolved.
“How many years have they
had the same issue and not bothered
about it?” she said.
The fireworks display has been
running at the pier since it was
opened in 1997.
Mrs Griffin said if the event
was taken away, it would be another
blow for the east and show
a “lack of commitment from the
city council” to an area “already
neglected.”
New Brighton Museum secretary
Peggy Butterfield said she
would be very disappointed if
the fireworks event was moved
away, but was supportive of it
being held at Matariki.

the city council continue
to hold its annual fireworks

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

Potholes bug board member
• By Anan Zaki
A COMMUNITY board
member says ratepayers in
Halswell are being let down by
slow city council services.
Halswell Ward community
board member Ross McFarlane
raised the issue at the last
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board meeting after
the city council failed to repair a
number of potholes he reported.
He said rural Halswell was
more prone to potholes than
other parts of the city.
“We’ve got so much traffic
coming via non-mainstream
roads because of roadworks on
the Southern Motorway,” Mr
McFarlane said.
Mr McFarlane said he reported
nine potholes but only one was
repaired.
Most of the potholes he
reported were on Marshs Rd,
Halswell.
“These are only like 5m across,
with no centre lines, they are
really rural roads which are
copping an absolute pounding.
“I would hate to think that
people could swerve to avoid a
pothole,” Mr McFarlane said.
Potholes are a road hazard the
city council should address as
soon as they appear, he said.
When asked about Mr
McFarlane’s concerns, the city
council city streets maintenance
manager Mark Pinner said fixing
potholes was weather dependent.
“Work to repair such areas can
be limited and delayed until we
can ensure we can work and
complete what we start in dry
conditions.”
Roading contractors needed
to make sure the road surfacing
remained waterproof, Mr Pinner
said.
Contractors had also been
asked to speed up works, he said.
“Council’s contractors have
increased their resources to

reflect the expectation council

he said. Areas such as the rural
south-west where potholes are
more common will be targeted
for more frequent repairs over
the next year, Mr Pinner said.

VEHICLE TAGGING
Police say they are still
investigating the car tagging
incidents in Hornby earlier this
month. A number of cars were
spray painted with rude phrases
such as “pedo van free candy?” and
“drugs?” Male genitalia was also
spray painted on cars. A police
spokeswoman said there have
been no arrests or updates in the
incidents.
STREET NAMES
Two of the proposed Halswell
subdivision street names have
been changed due to potential for
confusion. Ned Paterson St was
proposed for the Halswell Downs
subdivision but the Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton Community
Board opted against the name as
there is a John Paterson Dr nearby,
which may cause confusion.
Beamsgate Rd was chosen
instead. In the Stoneridge Downs
subdivision, Kepler Ridge Ln was
chosen instead of Quarry Rim Ln
as there is a track named Quarry
Rim Walk in the area.

THE SUMNER Ferrymead
Foundation will celebrate
its 25th anniversary next
month and look back on
the financial contributions
it has made to many groups
and individuals within our
community.
Since its launch in 1993,
many have benefited,
including donations for
education, music, youth,
arts and entertainment,
the environment, health
and welfare, and sport and
recreation.
Funds are derived from
returns on invested funds
which are held in perpetuity

an application, the trustees
make donations within the
“catchment area”.
Donations have been
made towards rebuilding
the Mt Pleasant Community
Centre, the Heathcote

pools, the Sumner Lifeboat
Institution, the Sumner
Theatre Group and Sumner
Bridge Club, the hockey,
yacht and cricket clubs, and
numerous students.

Teen caught in burglary inquiry
• By Anan Zaki
POLICE HAVE made a
breakthrough in their hunt
for a group of teenagers
who are suspected of
burglaries.
A 14-year-old has been
apprehended in relation
to one of the burglaries in
Hornby.
Police say eight others
aged between 13 and 15 are
suspected of what is known
as “door-stepping.”
Door-stepping is the
act of stealing items left
outside homes.
Senior Constable Bruce
Ward said police were able
to match a recovered pair
of running shoes with the
14-year-old after publicity.
The owner of the shoes
came forward after recognising
it from the news
article and it meant police
could confirm they were
stolen, he said.
An earlier article in also
prompted more calls about
door step burglaries in
Hornby and Wigram, the
latest being 10 days ago.
“We had three other
people who phoned in to
report that they have lost
items but haven’t done
anything about it,” Senior
Constable Ward said.
Police believe the latest
calls meant the teenagers
are still active.
Police are yet to decide if
the boy will be charged or
not and the outcome depended
on a Youth Justice
family group conference in
four weeks time.
Constable Ward said.
Police are still seeking
the owners of a $300 pair
of Nike Air Jordan shoes,
an Avanti bicycle and
Razor scooter, which were
stolen in the door-stepping
thefts.
The remaining eight are
still at large and the police
will only be able to apprehend
them when more
stolen items are reported
and owners come forward,
Senior Constable Ward
said.
•If the recovered
items belong to you or
if valuables were stolen
from outside your
property, phone Senior
Constable Bruce Ward
at the Hornby Police
Station on 363 7435.

Clock tower danger warning
PEOPLE attempting to
break into the earthquakedamaged
Scarborough clock
tower are putting themselves
in a potentially dangerous
situation, the city council is
warning.
The heritage clock tower
is currently surrounded by
scaffolding and has fencing
around it, but that has not
stopped some people from
trying to gain entry.
“The reason why the
clock tower is fenced off is
because we’ve had engineers
working to determine how
much damage it sustained
in the earthquakes and what
needs to be done to fix it,’’
said city council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge.
“The assessment shows while
the clock tower is structurally
sound, it requires extensive
repairs. Some of the surface
masonry is loose and could
fall off if we got another strong
quake.
“It is not safe for the public
to be in the clock tower which
is why we have got it fenced off.
Our concern is that if someone
does try to break in while
the repair work is under way,
they could find themselves
in a potentially dangerous
situation,’’ Mr Rutledge
said.
The repairs to the clock
tower are likely to take
several more months to
complete and will involve
removing all the clock faces
so they can be restored by
specialists.
The scaffolding on the
Scarborough tower was
installed in March and is
costing $280 a week.
It is believed to be the first
time the clock faces have been
restored since being built in
the 1930s.
People have also tried to
gain entry to New Brighton’s
damaged clock tower.
DANGEROUS: People
trying to gain entry to clock
towers at Scarborough and

St Martins student’s academic success
SAVANAH STEWART never
expected much of herself.
But now, she is an inspiring
example of how study can
change your life.
Despite leaving school with
just NCEA level 2, the 29-yearold
Māori student from St
Martins is now on the cusp
of achieving a degree in an
academically demanding subject.
Not only will Miss Stewart
soon graduate from Ara Institute
of Canterbury with a Bachelor of
Medical Imaging, she’s received
a number of academic awards
during her studies and won six
scholarships this year alone,
including a Pegasus Health
scholarship for Māori.
She never expected much of
herself.
“When I was at school, noone
ever told me about the true
extent of my options, or how
important study was,” she said.
“University was never discussed
as an option for me, and I
certainly never saw myself doing
a degree.”
Miss Stewart said she didn’t
study for exams at high school
and “didn’t really care if I passed
or not.”
Five years ago, while living in
ACADEMIC: Savanah Stewart is about to graduate from Ara with
a Bachelor of Medical Imaging.
Australia and working in hospitality,
Miss Stewart stumbled
across what would become her
new career.
“I was looking on Seek [website]
and saw all these well-paid
jobs for sonographers and
radiographers. I didn’t know
what they were so I checked
them out on Google. I thought
they sounded cool; practical,
academic - a good mixture of
things,” she said.
Excited by the idea of a whole
new career path, Miss Stewart
returned to New Zealand to do
a six-month pre-health course at
Ara to gain the academic skills
she needed to apply for the Bachelor
of Medical Imaging.
“That was a really good
course,” she said. “It set me up
really well.”
Despite the stiff competition
for places on the degree, Miss
Stewart’s determination and
preparation impressed the selectors
at Ara and her application
was accepted.
She’s repaid their belief in her
by working hard and excelling
in her studies, winning awards
for clinical practice, professional
practice and top academic
results.
Miss Stewart hopes her experience
might encourage others to
consider tertiary education.
She’s recently been working on
her Te Reo skills and is becoming
more involved in her marae
at Rāpaki.
Her goal is use her growing
tribal connections to encourage
young Māori to think about their
career opportunities more ambitiously
than she did as a teenager.
At Ara, Savanah has found the
best training available.
Ara’s Medical Imaging
programme was the first in the
world to use virtual reality training
developed in Christchurch.
In addition, the programme
recently relocated to the brand
new Manawa health research
and education facility in the
Te papa Hauora/Christchurch
Health Precinct where students
will train alongside health professionals
and researchers.

YOUTH GRANTS
The Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community Board
granted $2500 from its youth
development fund to several
groups last week. A $500
grant was given to St Thomas
of Canterbury College for
two students travelling to
Japan as part of an under-15
rugby tour. The board also
granted $500 each to three
athletes who are travelling
to the under-23 and junior
rowing championships in the
Czech Republic and Poland
respectively. Another grant
of $500 was allocated to a
Templeton teen who will
travel to Malaysia for the

caused traffic delays last week.
The pipe burst on Wednesday

10k for Camp Twitch
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 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.

The communities of Banks
Peninsula are completely
reliant on rain
water, which is
absorbed into
the ground and
comes to the
surface at the
springs.
Canterbury
Fiona Nicol
University
lecturer Sam
Hampton presented his research
on the hydrogeology of the peninsula
in Lyttelton.
Dr Hampton worked with a
team of students from Frontiers
Abroad Aotearoa and other
university scientists, mapping
the geology and hydrology of
the peninsula.
Environment Canterbury
had previously mapped only
42 springs in the area, but
the local community always
thought there were a lot more
than that.
ECan chief scientist Tim
Davie said Dr Hampton’s
research had substantially
improved their understanding
of water sources on Banks
Peninsula.
His findings gave a “better
idea of how to protect water
quality in the source area of
the spring water so that we can
maintain really good water
quality for Banks Peninsula.”
As well as coming up with
an accurate map of springs,
the researchers also found that
springs located in forested areas
had higher flow rates than those
in grassy areas, and suggested
ways to improve and protect
spring water sources.
The springs are fed by rain
water and Dr Hampton said
where there was more forest
cover, there seemed to be more
precipitation and therefore more
recharge.
“What we’re potentially seeing
here is [that] deforestation has
had a massive influence in terms
of the flow rate and output of
the springs.”
Given the findings, Dr
Hampton said springs could be
a secure, good-quality source of

water on a smaller community
scale, but future water management
would need to be done on
a bay-by-bay basis.
Banks Peninsula Water Management
Zone Joint Committee
community representative Fiona
Nicol said peninsula communities
had managed spring water
well for the last 100 years and
the council could learn from
that.
“We can work with the council,”
she said, “but it has to be
community led.”
Lucky escape
after crash
down bank
in Rapaki
THE OCCUPANTS of a
small four-wheel drive were
lucky to walk away without
injuries after their vehicle slid
on ice and rolled 5m down a
bank near Rapaki.
The accident happened on
Governors Bay Rd between
Lyttelton and Governors Bay.
Police, ambulance and
the Lyttelton fire brigade
attended.
Lyttelton Volunteer Fire
Brigade chief fire officer Mark
Buckley said when the car
rolled over the bank, it landed
on its side on large “springy”
bushes, which saved it from
travelling any further down
the hill.
Mr Buckley said while the
two female occupants did not
sustain any injuries, they were
transported to Christchurch
Hospital to be checked.
He said they were lucky
the car had not rolled further
down the hill.
The vehicle sustained some
damage, but “not a heck of a
lot in comparison to what you
thought it might have,” said
Mr Buckley.
Top butcher goes mobile
ELITE MEATS owner Corey
Winder has made his Bush Inn
butchery mobile.
Mr Winder has extended his
business by setting up a moveable
butchery from a small truck
that parks up in Marshland Rd
and Farrington, Rolleston.
Mr Winder, who has been a
butcher since he was 19-yearsold,
said the reaction has been
“amazing.”
“People have just been blown
away by it,” he said.
The idea for the mobile butchery
came from residents’ requests
to have a shop in other places.
“I thought, well, it’s not that
easy to open a butcher shop, so
I’ll see if I can get a mobile one
going,” Mr Winder said.
“If we haven’t got it on the
truck, then we take orders and
we take the order out of whatever
they want the following week,”
Mr Winder said.
In March, Mr Winder was
named in the all star team at
the World Butchers’ Challenge
in Northern Ireland. His
team, the Pure South Sharp
Blacks, finished second in the
competition.
The mobile butcher will
be open outside Vegeland on
Marshland Rd on weekends
from 9am-5.30pm, and outside
the South Point complex in Faringdon,
Rolleston, on Thursdays
from 2-6.30pm.
“It’s one of those things, we’re
trying to take small steps to get
it right rather than rushing out
to all these different places,” Mr
Winder said.
UNIQUE: Elite Meats owner Corey Winder has opened his own
mobile butcher shop. ​

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.

StAC striker nets 29
• By Jacob Page
ST ANDREW’S striker
Declan Hickford’s right
boot is showing no signs of
failing him.
The 17-year-old, who
lives in Westmorland, has
scored 29 goals in eight
games for St Andrew’s
College in the Connetics
First XI secondary school
competition. That includes
seven last week in a 9-2
win over Lincoln High
School last Wednesday 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.
Hickford, who has been
a regular in Canterbury
age-group teams is also in
his first season with the
Selwyn United Mainland
Premier League team.
He said he is loving the
challenge of matching up
against the men.

“The physicality is clearly
something that takes
time to adjust too but also
matching that with the
speed of play,” he said.
“Sometimes the secondary
school games can be
played at a friendly-type
pace and that’s certainly
not the case with the MPL
SOUTHERN VIEW
teams.”
Hickford said his next
individual focus would
be on trying to earn a US
scholarship.
“To get a quality education
while testing my skills
against a high standard of
play would be something
I’d like to do,” he said,

Southern Scorpions team named
• By Jacob Page
SOUTHERN SCORPIONS
rugby league 17s coach Archie
Jacobs believes he has the squad
which can contend for a national
title in October.
The Canterbury 15s and
17s trial squads have been announced
with players from
Halswell, Hornby, Riccarton,
Celebration, Aranui, Papanui
and Linwood joining players
from the West Coast, Nelson and
Aoraki regions.
Both teams were picked from
the Southern Zone tournament
held on the West Coast earlier
this month.
Jacobs said his 17s side was
primed to go deep into the competition
after a rebuilding year in
2017 where they finished fourth.
“We took away nine 16-yearolds
last year so I’m hoping that
experience will show through
and help the new guys this year,”
he said.
“We certainly will have plenty
of speed - our attack won’t be an
issue at all,” Jacobs said.
“Top four will be an absolute
minimum and then after that
we’ll take it a game at a time.”
Both 15s and 17s will have
a final trial on August 12 at
Wainoni Park with Jacobs aiming
to have a game against the
Canterbury 19s as well.
The 17s squad will be trimmed
to 21 players.
“This is my sixth time going to

nationals and I think this is the
best bunch of players we’ve had,”
he said.
The 15s finished sixth last year,
ending their tournament with
a 18-10 defeat to the Central
Vipers.
Coach Walter Wilson said the
aim was to crack the top four
this year but he was keen to get
his team more games together
between now and October.
“Geographically we are very
spread out so getting regular
time together is a challenge,” he
said.
“Ideally we’d like to play some
school rugby teams under rugby
league rules to help us prepare
and if there was a school out
there who was keen, that’d be
great,” Wilson said.
The competition will run from
October 1 to 5.

CHBS boxer extends
winning record to 16-1
• By Jacob Page
Tuesday July 31 2018
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.
The club’s land is located next

to the Athletics Canterbury clubrooms
and track. It is planning
to extend its current building by
580 sq m to allow for shooting
distances of 18-25m.
The club has been fundraising
for the project for about 10 years
and currently has $135,000 saved
to go towards the building.
Mr Skews said the extension
will be a training centre for its
youth and senior archers.
The club has about 90 members
and another 60 who do
courses throughout the year.
SOUTHERN VIEW
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.
Second chance for bus feedback
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PEOPLE OPPOSED to recent
changes to the bus routes in the
eastern suburbs will get another
chance to have their say.
The Greater Christchurch Public
Transport Joint Committee
will put out the draft Regional
Public Transport Plan for consultation
later this year.
This will be an opportunity for
communities to have their say
on the future shape of the bus
network, including the long-term
vision, priorities and action plan.
Following adoption of the
RPTP, detailed consultation at a
bus route level will occur early
next year.
It comes as a public meeting
was held in New Brighton to
gauge concern over the new bus
route changes.
About 60 people attended the
meeting last Monday to discuss
the latest changes Environemtn
Canterbury has implemented as
part of its Long Term Plan.
Christchurch East MP Poto
Williams said there is a group of
concerned people who now have
an opportunity to collectively
work on the next part of the
process.
Key concerns raised at the
meeting included the ability
for residents reliant on the bus
services to get to doctor
appointments, shopping
centres and work.
It comes after ECan
confirmed it would combine
the 135 Burwood
Hospital and 150 The
Palms bus routes in
June.
The new bus route
will now stop at the
Taiora: QE II Recreation
and Sport Centre and no
Philip
Haythornthwaite
longer travel into New Brighton.
The consistency and quality of
bus stops in the area was raised
by Disabled Persons Assembly
Christchurch and Districts
president Philip Haythornthwaite.
He told Pegasus Post if
the bus stops are not up
to scratch they can affect
patronage.
An example was a bus
stop recently installed
on Stanmore Rd outside
Kora Kitchens.
Mr Haythornthwaite
said the footpath is “deeply
angled” and if you were to push
a wheelchair there was potential
for it to fall over.
City council transport operations
manager Ryan Rolston said
staff are working with a contractor
to rectify the grade issue
at Stanmore Rd and should be
resolved in two weeks.
What could be done to improve
ECan’s submission process
and make its website more “userfriendly”
was also discussed.
Senior public transport manager
Stewart Gibbon said ECan
is looking at how the submission
process could be improved.

Shoddy repairs
SOUTHERN VIEW
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.”

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

Cave Rock
Apartments’
owners
expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – 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.”

A W OLSTON butcher proved
to be a cut above the rest in an
international competition.
New World Fe ry Rd butcher
Jeremy Garth and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently
came second a the World
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern
Ireland.
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.

Winder was part of the Pure

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 light 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

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

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
