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.

artwork 

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.

Artwork to brighten New Brighton 

•From page 1 

The designs will be selected 

for application onto the ground 

surface in December. 

Park Life will implement the 

winning design for the basketball 

court. It is a company which 

specialises in activating spaces 

with clever designs. It offers 

unique custom designs for parks, 

sports areas, schools, tertiary institutions, 

basketball 

courts 

and multi-use 

games areas. 

The organisation 

has 

designed basketball 

courts 

Deborah 

McCormick 

in Valonia 

Park, Marlborough 

Park and 

Potters Park in Auckland. 

Ms McCormick said the winning 

artist will have the option 

of painting the mural themselves 

if they have experience in art 

mural application. 

But she said if not, a team 

of expert mural applicators 

will be put together to bring 

the artwork to life. While the 

competition has been running 

since 2012, it is the first time the 

winning artwork will be created 

outside of the central city. 

The winner of the first 

BRIGHTENED UP: The winner of the first Re:ACTIVATE competition was Rachael Dewhirst’s 

mural Kaleidoscopic Nights. Her artwork was put on the Canterbury Development Corporation 

Building. 

Re:ACTIVATE competition, 

Resene Art in The Streets, was 

Rachael Dewhirst with her mural 

Kaleidoscopic Nights, 2012. 

The competition is inspired by 

Project Backboard, a non-profit 

organisation in the United States 

that refurbishes neighbourhood 

basketball courts by covering 

them in art. 

Anyone living in the city and 

over the age of 18 can enter the 

competition and all entrants 

are encouraged to attend the 

4th Re:ACTIVATE Public Art

Entries close on August 30.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

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. 

RAWHITI DOMAIN PLAN 

A tree risk assessment and maintenance 

programme at Rawhiti 

Domain is expected to get under 

way this month. The Guardians 

of Rawhiti plan to transform the 

woodland area, located off Keyes 

Rd, into a “natural play space”. 

LONSDALE ST PARKING 

City council staff have 

investigated concerns over car 

parking issues in Lonsdale St, 

New Brighton. Concerns have 

been raised that parents are 

parking their vehicles on berms 

and across driveways when 

dropping off and picking up 

children from New Brighton 

Catholic School. There has been 

one recent formal complaint 

about the parking issue.

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. 

Aviva marketing and 

communications manager 

Julie McCloy said the 

vegetables are a weekly 

Ruby a top 10 finalist in 

Miss Universe NZ contest 

•From page 1 

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 

in the day and you just 

have to find out what 

works for you.” 

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 

at the prison and for the 

prison grounds. 

“Our garden workers are 

very proud of their garden, 

the produce they grow, and 

that their labours make a 

difference for families in 

need through Aviva.”

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.

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. 

“The other nations have

Suez Canal, in March 1987. 

different ways of thinking and 

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.
