A FEW years ago, Ruby Hunt
would never have had the
confidence to step out on a stage
in front of thousands of people.
But that’s exactly what the
Burwood woman did last week
at the Miss Universe New Zealand
finals, in which she placed
in the top 10.
Miss Hunt said her experience
in the competition was ‘amazing’.
“It was just something that I
thought ‘why not?’ And you’ve
got to try new things and get the
experiences from them.”
She said after she put in her
application, she was overjoyed
to find she had made the top 20,
and was sent to Auckland for
training at the Stiletto Camp.
“It was amazing. They had
make-up classes, a nutritionist
came and talked to us, there was
a choreographer,” she said.

set to
liven up
Brighton
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
ARTWORK COSTING about
$60,000 will be brightening up the
New Brighton foreshore.
Entries are open for artists to
take part in the SCAPE Public Art
Trust’s Re:ACTIVATE 2018: New
Brighton art competition.
Two winning design entries
will be chosen, one to be enlarged
on a half basketball court, while
the other will be on a large mural
space in New Brighton. The total
cost of the installation will be
about $60,000.
The artists will each win $3000
in prize money. It is planned to
have the artwork visible on Google
Earth. Both artworks will be located
on the south side of the New
Brighton Pier. The project is being
funded by Development Christchurch
Ltd and SCAPE.
SCAPE executive director
Deborah McCormick said it was
attracted to the strong urban
art scene developing out in New
Brighton.
“We are looking at areas under
regeneration in the city. It was a
logical place to go to New Brighton,”
she said. •Turn to page 3

I HOPE city council staff read the Pegasus
Post.
Again we have a swag of letters (see
page 4) from readers saying the Guy
Fawkes fireworks display must stay in New
Brighton. As we have said in the last few issues, it’s a no-brainer
to keep it at the pier and any bid to shift it elsewhere will be met
with a potential powder keg of resistance.
Local city councillors David East and Glenn Livingstone have
pledged to fight the good fight if the council bureaucrats in
Hereford St have other ideas.
As one letter writer on page 4 says: I don’t live in New
Brighton and I have only been once. I do think it is a great place
for it.
Too right.

MEMORIAL TREES POLICY
Residents wanting to plant
memorial trees at QE II Park
will need to go to the Coastal-
Burwood Community Board to
have their request considered.
The board received a request to
plant a tree in memory of Ronald
Beardsley, who helped work on
the original QE II Park design
in the 1970s. In June, the board
asked the city council to find
out what the correct process for
planting memorial trees at QE II
Park was.

Readers respond to
the Pegasus Post
article on keeping the
annual New Brighton
Fireworks event at the
pier
Gary Knight – Kids-
Fest since 1992 has been
encompassing events
in Christchurch, Banks
Peninsula, Waimakiriri
and Selwyn. Sparks In The
Park since 1983. Ongoing
New Year Eve celebrations
and fireworks on the pier
since 1997 bears testimony
to the longevity of
these iconic Christchurch
events. It is ludicrous
therefore that at this
stage internal city council
bureaucracy deems these
events to be reviewed
under the umbrella of the
community events’ implementation
plan. There
exists also a lack of rationale
in the survey process
to bolster this review. A
random survey of 500
citywide residents on city
council run events since
2016 to determine any
traffic management issues
will cause many to query
council mandates. As an
iconic and revered event
it would be demeaning
and counter productive
for New Brighton to lose
the fireworks on the pier.
It is a spectacular event
enjoyed by many who will
continue to utilise entry
and exit points in spite
of the road works, thus
dispelling any parochial
views relating to traffic
and safety aspects of this
fireworks extravaganza.
Hamish Ballantyne
– I fully support the firework
display, especially
for the children. If properly
carried out, and controlling
fireworks to the
beach, fire hazard should
not be a problem. Animals
are a problem, and maybe
the noise situation could
be reduced with more emphasis
on the spectacular
effects. When the Anzac
parade is carried out, Marine
Pde from Longsdale
Rd to Hood St is closed
but senior citizens and
special needs people are
allowed access and have
therefore parking near the
show. Emergency lanes
for emergency services
could also be instigated, as
parking has always been a
problem.
Brian Smith – I
believe the fireworks
display should stay at New
Brighton. The travelling
public know what to
expect in terms of getting
too and from the venue.
If they are not happy
with it they won’t go. Not
everyone needs instant
hassle free entertainment.
They don’t pay anything
for it so half an hour or
an hour sitting in a car
getting in and out is not
a great hardship. Or take
a bus. I don’t live in New
Brighton and I have only
been once. I do think it is
a great place for it.
Kenneth France –
Agree fireworks should
stay in New Brighton.
In regard to health and
crowd safety, now would
be a good time for the city
council to form a strategic
getaway plan, which could
then be put into use in
event of a tsunami, as during
the last siren warning
was almost impossible to
leave North Beach due
to the amount of traffic
attempting to exit Marine
Pde.
Aileen Trist – This
wonderful event should
stay on the pier as it is an
amazing spectacular spot.
People over the other side
of town can go up onto
the Port Hills if they don’t
want to travel to the beach
and other community
members can enjoy the
display any place along
the beach front. It is also
a very safe spot keeping a
safe distance away from
the public and allows for
not only a high spot for
the display but the ability
to have displays coming
down off the pier.
Fila McCracken – If
the city council wants to
take public events away,
are they going to replace
them with anything or is
this a money saving tactic
so they can spend up large
elsewhere?
Karen Hibberd – Ban
all fireworks.
Taina Kahutia
Tawhitopou Connell
– Ban it.
A reader responds
to the Pegasus Post
article on ongoing
drainage issues in
Southshore
Aileen Trist – It is
time the city council fixed
this issue properly instead
of using a “Band-Aid” fix.
There has always been a
flooding problem down
there starting before the
earthquakes. Yet, when
the drains were fixed after
the earthquakes they
just replaced “like-forlike.”
Residents have been
complaining for a long
time that the system was
not doing its intended job
yet it has always fallen on
“deaf ears.”

Prisoners grow
veges for Aviva
FOR MORE than six
years, inmates from a
Christchurch Men’s Prison
unit have been providing
weekly deliveries of fresh
vegetables to Aviva, a local
family and sexual violence
support service.
The prison’s vegetable
garden was started in 2012.
And since early 2013, 625
70-litre crates of produce
have been delivered to
Aviva – 63 of them since
January this year. Aviva is
based at Eastgate Shopping
Centre.
“Prison vegetable
gardens are an important
training and therapeutic
activity for prisoners and
the skills they learn are
beneficial for both the
individual gardener and
the community,” says
corrections officer Gerard
Grout.

She said the most
difficult part was trying to
balance the competition
with her social life and
her job at Lexus of
Christchurch.
“It was balancing my
life, my full-time job,
dancing, still seeing family
and friends and then doing
the fundraising as well as
preparing for the competition.”
“Everyone has 24-hours
highlight for many
families.
“We see a lot of people
who struggle to afford
fresh veges – and some
who struggle to afford food
in general. The vegetables
from the prison are an
absolutely vital component
in making many families’
nutrition and budget much
healthier.”
“Even in winter, there
are usually enough
vegetables to make the
run worthwhile,” said Mr
Grout. ”This week the unit
dispatched four crates
of potatoes, silverbeet,
cabbage, cauliflower
etc. During the warmer
seasons, up to six or seven
crates can be delivered.”
About 70 per cent
of the prisoners in the
20-bed unit have prison
jobs, including in the
distribution warehouse or
collecting rubbish across
the prison.
Mr Grout said these men

have to find out what

But the support from
her friends and family, and
the confidence she gained
from the experience made
it all worth it.
“The whole family was
so proud, she said.
“You know, four years
ago I would have never
put myself out there, so
for me to even step out
on that stage, my family
often spend their weekends
working in the gardens.
Vegetables grown at
the unit include beans,
beetroot, leek, cabbage,
onion, rhubarb, spring
onion, potato, sweetcorn,
radish, cauliflower, brussels
sprouts, tomatoes,
cucumber, pumpkin, broccoli,
carrot, celery, parsnip,
lettuce, garlic, turnip,
silverbeet, spinach, and
peas. Other seasonal products
include strawberries,
lemons and raspberries.
The produce is harvested,
cleaned and packed in the
70-litre plastic bins for
delivery.
The garden also propagates
and grows seedlings
for other vegetable gardens

prison grounds.

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

Captain takes charge at Brighton Lions
Fire rages, homes at risk
After more than 50 years
serving on and off in the
New Zealand Army,
Alastair Rankin has taken
charge at the Lions Club
of New Brighton. Georgia
O’Connor-Harding reports
NEW ROLE: Lions Club of
New Brighton president
Alastair Rankin outside an old
army base next to the former
Addington Jail where he was
stationed from 1973-1975 and
1985-1998. PHOTO: MARTIN
HUNTER
ALASTAIR RANKIN isn’t
afraid of a lot. From deactivating
land mines in Cambodia to
helping monitor borders in the
Middle East, not much fazes the
semi-retired army captain and
Lions president.
Mr Rankin, 68, was elected
to the role last month. He was
a part of the 2/4 Battalion until
February.
So taking on a leadership role
is nothing new for Mr Rankin,
who has also been president of
other Lions clubs. It will be his
second time at the head of the
New Brighton Lions, of which
he was president in the late
1990s.
He has had a long association
with New Brighton, first joining
the Lions club in 1984 before
relocating to Wellington in 2000.
He rejoined the New Brighton
Lions about four years ago.
While living in Wellington, he
became Lions Club of Newlands
president, before he moved to the
Lions Club of Whitby in Porirua.
He said it was not long before
he was elected president in
Whitby.
He has also been zone
chairman for a range of Lions
clubs, including Christchurch
Seaview, Ferrymead, Lyttelton
and Pegasus.
His goal for the New Brighton
club is to raise membership.
“There is no criteria . . . all
you have got to do is want to
do something useful for your
community,” he said.
During his time in the army,
Mr Rankin worked for a year
at the Cambodian Mine Action
Center in 2004, training and retraining
de-miners. He was also
heavily involved in operations in
the minefields.
Land mines are a big problem
in Cambodia and are a legacy
of three decades of warfare,
starting with the Cambodian
Civil War in the late 1960s.
The remaining land mines are
discovered using a metal detector
and burned. Mr Rankin said
while he trusted the de-miners
to have cleared the area, when he
first began working in the job,
there was “a bit of trepidation”.
He said hundreds of land
mines were uncovered every day.
“I was standing a few feet away
from a guy who stood on one
and it blew his foot off,” he said.
But he said driving in
Cambodia was more dangerous
than working on the minefields.
Many of the main roads had
only just been tarsealed when
he was in the county and there
wasn’t a lot in the way of road
rules, he said.
“We never drove at night out
in the country side. It just wasn’t
worth it, cows would just walk
out onto the road,” he said.
Mr Rankin spent about five of
his military years overseas.
He was posted to Singapore
from 1976-1978, working in the
communications centre for New
Zealand Force South East Asia.
“I liked south Asia. The two
countries are very different.
Singapore was very quick to go
ahead and Cambodia was only
just going ahead and that was
because of the war,” he said.
He worked with the New
Zealand training advisory team
for the Multinational Force
and Observers in the Middle
East, which was monitoring the
border between Israel and Egypt
in Sinai.
His job was to help train
the United States, Fijian and
Colombian troops on the border.

different ways of doing things.
Doesn’t mean it is wrong. It is
just different and you can learn
from it,” he said.
Mr Rankin said he learnt the
most from working with the
101st Air Assault Division, a
division of the US Army trained
for air assault operations.
“They were brilliant . . . they
were particularly good at aircraft
recognition. When you are on
the border and the jet flies over
you, it flies over very quickly
and you have only got a split
second to say what kind it is,” he
said.
He comes from a military
family and joined the army when
he was 16- years- old, seeking
adventure, “excitement” and to
get away from Blenheim where
he grew up. Mr Rankin said
joining the army “wasn’t a shock
to the system” as compulsory
military training was practised
for males up until 1972.
He retired three times – the
first was after 21 years of service
and he wanted to provide
“stability” for his children.
Now that he has semi-retired,
he is involved in part-time
project work writing reports on
issues in the army such as driver
fatigue.
Having spent time overseas,
Mr Rankin said he now has
a “fairly relaxed attitude” to
life.
“It is a lovely place in New
Zealand . . . it is lovely to be able
to go into the bush, sit down
and know there are no snakes or
scorpions,” he said.

Wow, you’ve made it
look like new again!
a comment brett Muir hears frequently in his ‘Groutpro’ business, as he takes
care of grout related problems confronting many householders.
“After years of constant use, unsealed grout will become discoloured” Brett says.
That’s because grout (even new grouts) are porous and absorb dirt, grime and spills.
The deep clean results that come with professional tile and grout cleaning, prepare for the
essential next step. “Application of a colourseal coating on the grout will make a transforming
difference in appearance” Brett says. With almost 100 colour options, coloured grout sealer is
non porous and waterproof making cleaning so much easier.
replacing cracked tiles, resiliconing shower edges, removing calcium buildup on
shower tiles, regrouting cracked grout and all tile related issues are part of the
Groutpro service.
before
for an uplift of your tiled area:
Shower, bathroom, kitchen, pool
surround, deck etc. Brett will give you a
quote and honest, professional advice on
your tiles and grout.

REMARKABLE CONCERT EXPERIENCE
THE NZSO AND THE PHOENIX FOUNDATION!
TO CELEBRATE their 20th year e
Phoenix Foundation have joined forces
with the NZSO for a remarkable concert
experience.
e Phoenix Foundation is one of the
most iconic New Zealand bands of the 21st
century. Formed in Wellington in the late-
90s, they have been lauded here and
overseas and feted by rock royalty, from
Neil Finn and Jarvis Cocker to Iggy Pop.
e band has also contributed to several
movie soundtracks, including film-maker
Taika Waititi’s celebrated box office smash
Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
If you are not yet familiar with their
music, you are in for a treat; if you are, you
are likely to encounter their most
challenging and assured set of songs yet.
From the soaring soundscape of opener
“Mountain” and the frantic, joyful surge of
the David Fridmann (e Flaming Lips,
Tame Impala)-mixed “Bob Lennon, John
Dylan”, through to the trippy, delicate
“Prawn” and “Myth”, and the self-styled
manifesto of sorts that is the title track,
this is the sound of a band at the top of
their game, making music that is every bit
as enjoyable as it is detailed and wellcraed.
And with a substantial back catalogue of
much-loved songs from their five previous
albums – “Horsepower”, “Pegasus”, “Happy
Ending”, “Buffalo” and “Fandango” – to
draw from, they are a band who have
earned their place in the hearts and minds
of their audience, and who are equal parts
charm, hard work and inspiration, and
who fully deserve your attention, just as
you fully deserve the wonderful music they
make.
Drawing from their much loved
catalogue, e Phoenix Foundation and
Orchestra will perform unique
arrangements of audience favourites and
deep album cuts.
It will also be a rare opportunity to hear
their soundtrack work performed live.
e NZSO and e Phoenix Foundation
perform in Christchurch at the Isaac
eatre Royal on ursday 30 August 2018.
7pm start. Tickets on sale now at Ticketek.
