Pupils take out competition with AI robot

said.
“In the senior division, just to

THAT WOULD have been one big
moment so to speak for St Andrew’s
basketballers Mac Stodart and Charlotte
Whittaker and Middleton Grange’s Sofia
Kennedy (see page 13).
The promising youngsters met Steven
Adams, a $36 million a year NBA man, at a training camp in
Palmerston North. That’s the kind of money the big stars of the
NBA earn.
Adams ran the camp for 40 hand-picked teenage players
from around New Zealand. For Stodart, Whittaker and
Kennedy, to have made it speaks volumes for their potential.
To have Adams running it I hope has energised their
aspirations to go as far as they can in the sport.
And if you look at the photo, Stodart isn’t too far behind
Adams in the height stakes.

Community split over Northwood trees
Pensioner
wants them
chopped
• By Ashleigh Monk
SEVERAL TIMES a year,
Northwood pensioner Bob
Davison has to climb a ladder to
clear his gutters of debris from
the giant gum trees across the
road.
Mr Davison, 74, has lived in
his Saracen Ave home since
2006. He wants six gum trees
across the road removed as they
block his afternoon sun and
drop, leaves, bark and nuts.
However, residents are split
over the issue.
“They’re beautiful trees in the
wrong place,” he said.
“My concerns are debris,
shading, and then the safety
aspects because we’ve had
sticks that have been an inch in
diameter hit our window in the
middle of the night with a strong
southerly.”
He said the Northwood
Residents’ Association has been
working with the city council
to alleviate the problem, but it
wasn’t enough.
SHADY ISSUE: Bob Davison wants six gum trees in
Northwood to be cut down because of the debris they drop
onto his property and gutters (inset).
“[The city council] is getting
Treetech to come in and strip
the bark and they are better than
they were, but we’ve still got
shading and the problem with
the gutters.”
“One lady said to me ‘I look at
them every morning’ and I said
‘well, look, if we get them taken
down I’ll get a painting put on
your window’.”
“It’s not in their backyards so
why would they care?”
Another resident, who didn’t
want to be named, was shocked
by the calls to have the trees
removed.
“Those beautiful trees have
been there for a very long time
– long before the Northwood
subdivision was ever designed.”
The resident said cutting the
trees down would be a “drastic”
move.
“I would like to think
commonsense will prevail
and a less drastic resolution
can be found as I believe this is
not a decision to be made
by only a small number of
residents on behalf of all of
Northwood.”
Northwood Residents’
Association chairman Clive
Smith said the community is
“divided” over the issue.
“There’s a lot of people that
think these trees are absolutely
part of the landscape. But they
don’t live in the shadow of them,
and they don’t have to put up
with the things that Bob and his
neighbours put up with.”
He said he felt a middle
ground could be reached.
“We went to the council and
said ‘you have got to do better
for these residents’, and what
we expect is an improvement of
the maintenance programme
around these trees.”

School needs help to keep pool open
• By Ashleigh Monk
FOR ABOUT 40 years, the
Waimairi School pool has been a
“social hub” for the community.
But with maintenance costs of
$10,000 a year, the school needs
a helping hand to keep the pool
running.
Principal Mike Anderson said
the PTA was making efforts to
raise money for the pool.
“Every year we do fundraise,
but this year because the costs
have been increasing, we are
setting up a separate pool effort.
Usually the PTA support it from
their general fundraising,” he
said.
“It’s really important, and we’re
very fortunate to have a school

THERE IS no definitive answer
as to how Merevale became
Merivale – but history buff Tim
Baker thinks he might have the
answer.
A year or two
ago, Mr Baker
was gifted a
photo album
book full of
images from
the suburb,
three of which
Tim Baker
are pictures of
a homestead
labelled ‘Merivale’.
The pictures were taken by
United Kingdom photographer
Nelson King Cherrill between
1876 and 1881.
But the funny thing was that
Merivale was still known as
Merevale up until the 1890s.
“Recently I thought I would
research to see if [the house] still
remains and if Merivale got its
name from this property, as so
many of our suburb names have
done so in Christchurch and
elsewhere,” he said.
“I have Google-searched and
asked about it but have hit a
pool. We are totally committed to
keeping it going.”
The PTA hosted a gathering
on Friday to encourage local
businesses to become sponsors in
exchange for putting up signage
around the pool.
He said by having the pool on
site, the school was able to give
children essential water safety
skills.
“We want all of our kids to
have basic aquatic skills by the
time they leave our school.”
“Our PTA also fund a professional
swimming tutor to work
with the children who need extra
assistance who aren’t picking it
up from the classes that teachers
run . . . and that’s free of charge
to our families. Learning aquatic
brick wall. City library staff have
researched and are baffled too.”
skills is part of our curriculum
and our curriculum should be
free, not something parents have
to stump up extra for.”
And the pool was not only an
asset for the school, but also for
the wider community.
“The pool is used by about 100
families every year out of hours,
so it’s a real social hub. It’s a real
meeting point for the community,”
Mr Anderson said.
The pool was also at the centre
of community barbecues, school
leavers’ parties and sports events.

Unravelling the mystery of Merivale’s name
MAKING A SPLASH: The Waimairi School PTA needs help
raising the money to keep the school pool running.
He said he didn’t think the
homestead would still be standing,
but he hoped someone might
be able to shed light on it.
MYSTERY: This photograph
of a homestead labelled
Merivale was taken between
1876 and 1881 – years before
the suburb’s name Merevale
was changed to Merivale.
“I don’t think it’s still there,
otherwise we’d know about it
. . . my theory is that it burnt
down in a fire.”
Historical research showed
there were a few theories as to
how Merivale got its name, but
none had been proven.
One theory was that a woman
named Charlotte Jackson bought
100 acres (40ha) in the area and
named it ‘Merevale’ after her
brother-in-law, Thomas Jackson,
who was the vicar of Merevale, a
town in England.
But Mr Baker thought perhaps
the name had come as the result
of a typo.
“Maybe the photographer
made a mistake with the ‘i’ and
that’s just how it stayed.”

CONGRATULATIONS: Frank Frizelle (right) after receiving his honorary
fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Dublin professor Paul
Burke researched and presented a citation on Prof Frizelle, something all award
recipients received.
St Albans surgeon receives
international recognition
• By Sophie Cornish
A ST ALBANS-based
bowel cancer surgeon and
researcher has received
international recognition
from one of the world’s
largest surgical colleges in
Ireland.
Last month, Frank
Frizelle was awarded one
of the highest honours,
an honourary fellowship
from the Royal College of
Surgeons in Ireland.
It recognises his global
leadership in surgery and
comes on the back of
ground-breaking research
from Prof Frizelle and
his Otago University and
Canterbury District Health
Board research teams, who
recently identified a toxic
bug they believe may cause
bowel cancer.
The team found a toxic
form of a bacteria called
enterotoxic bacteroides
fragilis in the gut of almost
80 per cent of people with
a pre-cancerous lesion – a
precursor to the disease,
which is one of the leading
causes of cancer death in
New Zealand, said Prof
Frizelle.
It could lead to a lifesaving
vaccine or early detection
test for the disease.
Prof Frizelle said he was
“delighted and privileged”
to be recognised with the
award which came “out of
the blue.”
“It’s quite a big deal. The
Irish college doesn’t offer
this to many people so it’s
quite special,” he said.
It was especially exciting
for his mother, Nanci,
who has Irish heritage. She
was too frail to travel but
was able to watch her son
receive the award through a
live-stream video.
Prof Frizelle said bowel
cancer has gone under
the rader for a long time
because people are often
embarrassed to talk about it.
His team were also the
first to show differences in
the gut microbiome linked
to different types of bowel
cancer.
The discovery could
mean in future clinicians
can give patients the
treatments, surgery or
medications shown to work
best for particular types of
cancer.
Prof Frizelle is a surgeon
at Christchurch Colorectal
in St Albans, editor in
chief of The New Zealand
Medical Journal and head
of university department
of surgery at Otago University.

FAILED: Residents’ bid to have heavy vehicles banned from the Glandovey and
Idris Rds intersection in Fendalton has been put on the back-burner.
Board puts brakes on
heavy truck ban for now
• By Ashleigh Monk
THE DOOR is still open
for Fendalton residents’ bid
to ban heavy vehicles from
the Glandovey and Idris
Rds intersection – but the
issue has been put
to bed for now.
The Fendalton-
Waimairi-
Harewood
Community Board
has taken the issue
off its agenda.
Chairman Sam
MacDonald said
it would consider
looking at the issue
again in the future, but the
reports indicated a ban was
not “necessary”.
The board received
reports on the intersection
at a meeting last week and
decided to drop the issue
from its agenda.
• By Ashleigh Monk
WHEN Brenda and
David Anderson built
their Fendalton home two
years ago in preparation
for retirement, they were
“delighted” with their park
views.
But their delight was
short-lived.
For the past six months,
the couple have been battling
the city council over
a 4.5m tall suction tank,
which is to be installed
in Jeffreys Park, over the
fence from their Waiwetu
St property.
“It was dreadful,” Mrs
Anderson said.
Sam
MacDonald
“Those reports said that,
by and large, those heavy
vehicle restrictions aren’t
exactly necessary in that
patch relative to the rest of
the city,” he said.
“I’m certainly not closing
the door on it . . .
but my view at the
moment is that, given
we have had those
reports, it has gone
through the process.”
But Idris and
Straven Residents’
Association
spokesman James
Wilding said he
wasn’t happy with the
outcome of the meeting.
“We do not think
that Christchurch
residential suburbs
should have these very
big trucks, particularly
40-50 tonne B-trains,
with all the noise,
“We’ve lived by the park
for 48 years. Our daughter
lives nearby, and that’s why
we bought this place . . .
our daughter and grandchildren
will be just across
the bridge.”
Mrs Anderson said the
couple had planned on taking
legal action, but they
didn’t have any fight left in
them.
“We couldn’t bear it any
more. We had a lawyer
representing us, but it got
too much . . . we just can’t
keep going at our age, and
probably they know that.”
“Unfortunately, we just
have to let it go and move
on.”
fumes, vibration and
risk, traversing them
unnecessarily when there
are commercially-lined
roads and purpose-built
major arterial roads and
highways available.”
He said there should be a
“balance” in the decisions
made on roading issues
across the city.
“We do not want
these roads to have the
CBD treatment, but it
is difficult to reconcile
what has happened in
the CBD, in the interests
of the environment,
health, safety, heritage
and amenity, with
various council decisions
discounting those factors
in various suburbs,” he
said.
“A more balanced
approach to each might be
good.”
Fendalton couple give up
fight to keep park views
Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community
Board chairman Sam
MacDonald said the city
council would work with
residents to alleviate
concerns about the tank,
which will be constructed
next to the original pump
station.
“On the whole, it was a
good outcome.”
“We listened to the
concerns raised through
the deputations, and one of
the recommendations was
that the staff would work
with residents just to make
sure the planting plan and
everything around it is
satisfactory.”

NATASHA SENIOR is just
14-years-old and already making
her mark in the fashion scene.
The Burnside High School
student designed and made a
garment that has been selected
to feature on the New Zealand
Fashion Week runway.
Her design will be part of the
Walk the Line event on Sunday,
which is run by youths hoping to
get into the fashion industry.
Natasha said her design was
inspired by New Zealand culture
and the Pacific Ocean.
“I wanted something really
close to home, promoting New
Zealand culture, rather than
designing something ‘in’ that’s
internationally sold because
everyone wears it. I wanted
something that would make an
impact on the market.”
“To be based on the Pacific,
I used swimwear material for
the pants, a material called
neoprene. It kind of looks like
the ocean.”
It won’t be the first time
Natasha has made waves in
fashion – she’s taken part in the
Brother Design Stars competition
“a few times” and won it in
her second year of competing.
Natasha discovered her love
for fashion when she was just
five-years-old.
“My mum inspired me to
start taking my ideas from my
notebook to real life. We had a
sewing machine so I could just
make stuff.”

Where’s the money?
Fendalton-
Waimairi-
Harewood
Community
Board deputy
chairman
Aaron
Campbell writes about the
money being spent on the
state of local roads
COSTLY BUMP: Aaron
Campbell asks where will the
money come from to fix the
city’s potholed roads.
THE CITY council has been
trying to make a silk purse from a
sow’s ear and central government
holds the purse strings. In the
end, this costs Christchurch
ratepayers.
Recently issues raised by
residents all over the north-west
highlight the dissatisfaction
many have with the state of our
roads, traffic volumes and their
negative effects on local amenity.
More could be done, but where is
the money going to come from?
Over two thirds of heavy vehicle
journeys are made on local
roads, averaging 12km per trip.
This generates half the revenue
(tax) going to the National Land
Transport Fund, yet less than half
the money spent comes back to
our local roads – reducing work
programmes and levels of service.
So what were the priorities?
Economic growth and productivity,
safer journeys and seven
roads of national significance,
including Christchurch’s motorways.
The Government wanted
reduced travel times in key corridors
and increased freight vehicle
productivity across the network.
The city council’s 2015 response
to the Government Policy
Statement on land transport said
44 per cent of our roads had minor
to severe earthquake damage
and that the SCIRT repair programme
will result in significant
ongoing costs. It also stated that
funding for maintenance hadn’t
increased with inflation.
The NZ Automobile Association
expected that a funding
shortfall would emerge over
time as there wasn’t an equity of
distribution. Guess what? They
were right.
We can only wait to see if the
2018 GPS makes material change
as it aims to address infrastructure
deficits across regions and
cities, while increasing economic
growth, improving safety and
taking a broader view on public
transport, modal change and
emission reduction.
Finally, I ask what happened
to the $63.4 million loan in the
2015 GPS for the reinstatement
of earthquake damaged roads in
Christchurch?

expect it to turn

Nic Davies – Get over it,
it’s not all about you, think of

on the road, maybe move to the
country for peace and quiet.
Amber Underwood – I
live in this area, and it’s not really

more about the safety of
the kids walking to and

St Andrew’s finds the right beat
• By Ashleigh Monk
ST ANDREW’S College Pipe
Band has returned from the
world pipe band championships
with smiles on their faces.
The group took out second
place in the juvenile category of
the competition, which was held
in Glasgow, Scotland.
Scottish co-education school
Dollar Academy, from Dollar,
near Stirling, came first.
Pipe major Louis Newman,
who had been playing the
bagpipes since he was six years
old, said the 15 day trip was an
amazing experience.
“We were practising every day,
of course, and doing all the sightseeing
of monuments, castles
and all the cool things you do in
another country.”
He said the competition was
stiff, so the group was “ecstatic”
to come second.
“We all watch videos of bands
playing on YouTube, but to
be there and actually watch
these class bands in action was
surreal.”
“We’ve been working at it
for such a long time, and these
Scottish bands are simply unreal,
they are top quality bands. So for
us to come second just made us
ecstatic.”
Band director Richard Hawke
said it was a “brilliant” result for
the 27 current students and three
2017 leavers who made up the
band.
“The worlds provide the
ultimate test of the skill and
ability of our pipers and
drummers and the band’s
performance was absolutely first
class.”
Mr Hawke said the result was
even more impressive given
the band faced two significant
challenges.
“Going from a Christchurch
winter into a Scottish summer
is a dramatic change for the
instruments. We were also
coming out of the New Zealand
off-season and hadn’t competed
since winning the nationals in
March,” he said.
“Our only competitive practice
was playing in a couple of smaller
competitions in Scotland the
week before the worlds, when
we faced teams which had been
competing solidly for three
months.”
More than 8000 pipers and
DRUMMER: The St Andrew’s College Pipe Band performed in Glasgow and took out second
place in the juvenile category of the world pipe band championships.
drummers from 13 countries
competed at the event, which
celebrated its 70th anniversary
this year.
This was the fith time St
Andrew’s College had competed
at the Worlds since 2007, with its
young band winning the juvenile
title in 2013.
Rector Christine Leighton said
she was “incredibly proud” of the
team.
“The competition at the worlds
is intense and the standard was
unbelievably high in the Juvenile
grade. The commitment and
discipline required by members
of the band is very demanding.”

MUSICIANS: The St Andrew’s College Pipe Band had an “amazing experience” during its 15 day trip to Scotland’s Glasgow to compete in the world pipe band

Papanui kendo champ brings
medals back from nationals
• By Jacob Page
KENDO MARTIAL artist Masa
Matsunami has returned home
to Papanui with three golds
and one bronze medal from
the national championships in
Invercargill.
The Canterbury Kendo Club
member won the senior men’s
event while clubmate and Cashmere
High School student Kai
Edwards was third.
Upper Riccarton’s Eric George
was named the men’s junior
champion.
The Canterbury team of
George, Edwards and Matsunami,
as well as Edgeware’s
Yuma Tamaki and Sydenham’s
Chris McGill, won the overall
teams event.
Matsunami, 18, said he was
delighted to pick up both the
senior men’s and teams national
titles – a feat that his coach Blake
Bennett was unable to do during
his career.
Bennett, who also coaches
New Zealand, said he couldn’t
be happier with the entire team’s
performance.
“I was very pleased that the
men’s team was able to do so well
at the national level,” he said.
“We have worked to
incorporate a great deal of
cutting edge training and
coaching tools in preparation,
and it all came together really
well on the big day,” he said. “We
are extremely grateful to the New
Zealand Racing Board for their
kind grant to get the team to the
nationals. As kendo is completely
amateur, results like this for our
young guys wouldn’t be possible
without this assistance.”
Matsunami will be part
of the New Zealand kendo
team to attend the 17th

held in South Korea.
“Both the men and women are
up against some tough cookies,”
Bennett said.
“This result at the nationals
will go a long way to building
confidence in our younger
members, and we are looking
forward to the experience.”
Hickford first to score
100 for St Andrew’s
• By Jacob Page
ST ANDREW’S College striker
Declan Hickford has become the
first person to score 100 goals for
the St Andrew’s College first XI.
The 17-year-old scored nine
goals against Rangiora High
School in the lead-up to the
semi-finals to achieve the feat.
St Andrew’s lost the play-off
game 4-1 to St Thomas’ last
week. But St Andrew’s will meet
Marian College in the girls final
tomorrow afternoon.
Burnside High School will
meet St Thomas’ in tomorrow
night’s final after they beat
Cashmere High School 3-0.
Hickford has scored 102 goals
for his school, which included 43
this season.
“It feels amazing to have
achieved it. It’s such an honour,”
Hickford said.

years.” Hickford has also been a
regular in Canterbury age-group
teams and is in his first season
with Selwyn United in the
Mainland Premier League.
“The physicality is clearly
something that takes time to
adjust to, 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 teams.”
Hickford said playing in the
MPL means he has more time
on the ball at secondary school
level.
“I’m working on my finishing
skills, mostly because I have
more time on the ball than what
I would have in the MPL,” he
said.
Hickford will now chase his
next individual goal – trying to
earn a scholarship to a United
States college.

Field trip has big impact on students
• By Anan Zaki
BURNSIDE HIGH School
student Brayan Kamminga
loves a bit of action-packed
engineering, especially when it
comes to cars and planes.
He and 29 other students from
Burnside High visited Holmes
Solutions’ Templeton impact
testing centre as part of the ‘week
of engineering’, organised by
Engineering New Zealand.
Brayan said his favourite
part of the visit was seeing the
crashed cars from impact tests.
“I would have liked to see them
crash on the day,” he said.

throughout the city are a clear
signal that it’s time to get your
vegetable garden set up and ready
to go.
To help the Canterbury
Horticultural Society has set up
a specialist fruit and vegetable
group focusing on edible
gardening.
Organisers say the group
provides an invaluable way
for new gardeners to learn
how gardens are managed in
each season, and learn about
techniques such as crop rotation,
composting, and fertilising.
The first session will focus
on tips and tricks for growing
plants from seeds. Experienced
Christchurch home gardener Phil
Ducker will give a demonstration
on how best to plant seeds.
Mr Ducker’s presentation aims
to provide answers on where to
plant, how close to plant, how
SCHOOLS
peers did see some action.
The visit involved dropping a
trolley full of weights from the
top of a 6m tower into a barrier
filled with water.
The students’ objective was to
work out how much water should
be added to the crash barrier to
make the car stop in exactly 1m.
“To solve this problem we took
measurements of the friction
force, then calculated how much
deep to plant, which companion
plants go best together, which are
better separate, and which plants
could be directly sown in the
garden.
Society programme coordinator
Michele Moore said
there is a lot to learn about the
subject.
“There will be
recommendations on where to
get your seed and which varieties
do well here in Canterbury.
Each variety has particular
requirements, so success depends
on getting these things right,” she
said.
It was important to share
that information down the
generations so that it is not lost,
Mrs Moore said.
Each month, Peter Saunders
will present a segment of his
running commentary, A Visual
Guide To Gardening Through The
Year, which will focus on what he
has been doing in his garden. By
following Mr Saunders’ progress,
it is hoped other attendees can
gain some insights to apply in
their own gardens.
The meetings will be held
monthly with plants, books and
tools available for purchase, as
well as raffles and refreshments.

barrier in 1m. We then solved
physics equations to find the
right amount of water to add to
the barrier,” Brayan said.

Tohu
‘To Think’
‘A mark, a sign.’
‘Anything serving as a reminder – token of rememberance”
Little River Gallery shows for the second time a collaborative exhibition by Robin Slow (painting), Brian Flintoff
(carving) and Bob Bickerton (soundscape). This year they follow on in the tradition of visually forwarding
histories and stories to be reflected on and become immersed in.
Robin Slow an artist whose work is also held in private collections, galleries and marae throughout the country
has used paint to create traditional forms used in conjunction with natural forms. The method of producing the
work has a traditional background but there has been an evolving of techniques and materials. This series of
works takes some traditional tohu, be it in the form of the composition, the patterns created or the creatures. It
explores the past and present to produce another tohu and that is the sign towards the future.
For many years, Brian Flintoff has created taonga puoro (musical instruments) for players and musicians
throughout the country. Not only do these create unique sounds but he has carved into them the stories and
histories that are woven into their function. His works are held in many major galleries throughout the world as
well as collections and marae here in Aotearoa.
From the painted images, carvings and reference points each has used in their works, Bob Bickerton created a
CD to enhance aspects visually but aurally as well to form a piece to be contemplated on and be enriched by.
Tohu (signs) surround us manifesting before and through our differing senses. Presented as a-tinana
(physical) and wha wairua (spiritual) appearances, patterns, actions, sounds of the surrounding environment
encompassing the seen and unseen, the ora and the mate.
