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.”

SUPERVISE: Corrections officer Gerard Grout in the vegetable garden at Christchurch Men’s Prison. END OF LINE, SCRATCHED & DENTED & EX DISPLAY PRODUCTS 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.” could see how far I’ve come in terms of my own confidence and my own self.” Wellington’s Estelle Curd was named Miss Universe New Zealand, which was held at Auckland’s Sky City.
