Huge support for 

East’s coastal stand 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

and Matt Salmons 

DAVID EAST has received 

a flood of support over his 

allegations the city’s District 

Plan was tampered with, which 

could see him asked to resign as 

a city councillor. 

He is facing a disciplinary 

hearing and has been stood 

down as chairman of the regulatory 

performance committee 

after calling for an independent 

inquiry into an erased clause in 

the District Plan. 

Cr East alleged the omission 

of a discretionary rule in the city 

council’s High Flood Hazard 

Management Area policy was 

against the intentions of the 

replacement district plan independent 

hearing’s panel. 

Without the discretionary 

rule known as the enable clause 

residents are finding it almost 

impossible to build or extend 

their properties within the 

HFHMA. 

It affects people in Southshore 

and Redcliffs. 

The city council fought the inclusion 

of the clause during the 

process of the plan’s ratification 

by a hearings panel two years 

ago.

from the editor’s desk 

I’M NOT surprised David East has got the 

backing of the community over his stand 

on the flooding and building issues which 

will affect many in Southshore and across 

the estuary in Redcliffs. 

But it looks like he will get slam-dunked 

by Mayor Lianne Dalziel and city council bosses. 

Time will tell if he will be asked to resign as a city councillor. 

Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairwoman Kim Money 

and her deputy Tim Sintes are also facing council disciplinary 

action too. 

Councillors are supposed to follow certain rules when they 

speak publicly. But Dalziel and the city council have been very 

heavy-handed. 

East’s public stand is what people wanting to build on their 

empty sections want to hear. 

They need a voice.

Online arguments tie up police 

• By Sophie Cornish 

PEOPLE ARE increasingly 

going to the police to report 

arguments they are having 

online. 

But New Brighton Sergeant 

Jim Currie says the police is not 

often the best 

place to go. 

He said 

there had been 

an increase 

in complaints 

involving 

Facebook 

arguments 

in the last 

month. 

Jim Currie 

He is calling for people to deal 

with the matters differently. 

“The best way they can deal 

with it is to block the person and 

keep themselves safe by talking 

to Netsafe,” said Sergeant Currie. 

Netsafe is a New Zealand independent 

and not-for-profit 

online safety organisation. 

“It’s about people who were 

once friends having fallouts, and 

then people are saying things on 

social media about each other 

and they don’t like what they are 

saying, so they are complaining 

to police about it.” 

“A lot of these aren’t really 

police matters and they are tying 

up resources which could 

be used elsewhere . . . basically 

we are telling people we don’t 

always have time to investigate 

these things and that people 

need to look after themselves on 

social media,” he said. 

People are reporting the 

incidences through the crime 

reporting line, phoning the police 

or coming into the station. 

Sergeant Currie said while 

there are some “grey areas” 

around police jurisdiction and 

the internet, if there are threats 

to cause serious harm or the 

belief the person is capable of 

causing harm, then they would 

be involved. 

However, if a disagreement 

happens, police have little power 

to get involved, due to it being

East says he will apologise if he is wrong 

•From page 1 

“Sir Tipene O’Regan is one I 

am happy to acknowledge”. 

Ms Money said: “We need 

to speak up and make a stand 

for our community and that is 

exactly what we have done.” 

Since Cr East’s stand, there 

has been calls for him to run for 

mayor at next year’s local body 

elections. 

But while many in the 

community are supporting 

Burwood Ward councillor 

and Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board member 

Glenn Livingstone and other 

city councillors won’t commit to 

supporting Cr East. 

“Personally myself, I wouldn’t 

be making allegations like this,” 

said Cr Livingstone. 

“The facts need to be established 

first”. 

Cr East said he would be “more 

than happy to unreservedly 

apologise” if it transpired he was 

wrong and had been “led up the 

garden path.” 

Cr East’s fellow city councillors 

have closed ranks when asked 

whether they support his public 

stand. 

Cr East also said he has “no axe 

to grind” with the lack of support 

from his fellow city councillors. 

He had expected it given they 

have been told not to comment to 

BIG PROBLEM: Southshore residents are in a quandary over whether they can build on their 

empty sections. 

media because Ms Dalziel is handling 

potential code of conduct 

proceedings. 

Christchurch East MP Poto 

Williams would also not comment 

on whether she supported 

Cr East’s accusations. 

“But I do recognise there are 

some issues of fairness that the 

residents have raised in terms of 

their ability to rebuild or build 

on their property,” Ms Williams 

said. 

Approaches have been made to 

various MP offices to make them 

aware of the issue and how they 

might resolve it. 

“There are things happening in 

the background but I don’t want 

to prejudice any ongoing discussion,” 

she said. 

Christchurch East National list 

MP Jo Hayes said Cr East had 

“unhitched a can of worms.” 

“He has opened it right up, 

and an independent inquiry 

will prove if what he is saying is 

right,” Ms Hayes said. 

Southshore Residents’ Association 

chairwoman Lynda 

Burdekin said it is 100 per cent 

behind Cr East and it supports 

and applauds him for his stand. 

Southshore resident Cherylan 

Davies, who has been trying to 

build a house after purchasing a section 

on Rocking Horse Rd, agrees. 

After investing $22,680 

on consultants, building 

consent fees and a geotechnical 

report she and her husband were 

informed they needed a resource 

consent to proceed. 

Mrs Davies said it will cost 

$5850 to lodge an application for 

a resource consent. A consultant 

planner said it was likely the resource 

consent would be refused 

by the city council and an appeal 

to the Environment Court would 

be necessary. 

Cr East has done what his 

constituents have asked him to 

do, she said. 

South Brighton Residents’ 

Association secretary Séamus 

O’Cromtha said it is up to Cr 

East to substantiate what he alleges. 

“I think the best way to cut 

through all this fog and confusion 

is to have a full independent 

inquiry into city council practices 

over the last few years,” he said. 

Christchurch Coastal Residents’ 

United deputy chairman 

Warwick Schaefer said the group 

was “absolutely backing David.” 

The city council should focus 

on issues around the HFHMA 

policy rather than Cr East’s 

conduct. 

He said it felt like “they’re 

shooting the messenger.”

No timeline to re-install fronds 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

THE Anzac Drive bridge’s iconic 

fronds could be a long way off 

from being re installed. 

The Coastal- Burwood Community 

Board is pushing for the 

fronds to be placed back on the 

bridge after they 

were taken down 

in 2010 for safety 

reasons. 

But city 

council operations 

manager 

Steffan Thomas 

said there is no 

Kim Money 

funding to reinstate the fronds 

and therefore no time frame is 

available. 

Board chairwoman Kim 

Money said the best outcome 

would be for the fronds to be 

re-installed. 

“We really want to see them 

back up because they are beautiful 

pieces of art. It is a shame to 

have them sitting somewhere 

waiting on a 10 to 20-year plan 

for the bridge to be replaced,” she 

said. 

Mr Thomas said the fronds 

were originally put in place for 

art and beautification and to 

reflect the plant life in the area. 

The fronds were first installed 

in about 2000 and taken down 

in 2008 due to safety concerns as 

the streetlight steel was beginning 

to show metal fatigue at the 

mounting points. 

After further engineering design, 

the fronds were reinstated 

in July 2010. 

But they were removed following 

September 2010 earthquake 

by the New Zealand Transport 

Agency so their condition could 

be assessed. 

Mr Thomas said if the fronds 

are to be re-installed they will be 

on their own supports and not 

attached to the bridge structure. 

However, NZTA said the 

fronds may have to be temporarily 

removed and stored when the 

bridge is replaced. 

A NZTA spokeswoman said 

BEAUTIFICATION: 

The Coastal- 

Burwood 

Community Board 

has asked for the 

fronds at the Anzac 

Drive bridge to be 

reinstalled. 

there is no plan in the next three 

years to replace the bridge. 

They are currently being stored 

in the city council’s contractors 

yard at McLeans Island.

Shirley trust 

opens new 

building 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

IT’S BEEN a long time coming, 

but the MacFarlane Park Centre 

has opened in Shirley. 

The centre will serve as a 

community hub alongside 

the original MacFarlane Park 

Neighbourhood Centre. 

Shirley Community Trust 

manager Jane Mitchell said she 

was “overwhelmed” by the support 

from the community. 

The building, which had a 

large meeting room, two offices, 

a kitchen and toilets, was 

donated to the city by the Lions 

Clubs International Foundation 

following the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

It was used as the temporary 

St Albans Community Centre 

on Colombo St before moving to 

Shirley.There were some delays 

to the process as the city council 

initially estimated the cost to 

relocate the building would be 

$100,000. However, more detailed 

planning revealed it would 

cost $225,000. 

The initial $100,000 was 

approved through the city 

council’s Annual Plan, and an 

additional $125,000 was fast 

tracked for the move.

Meeting the challenges wheelchair users face 


EVERY WEEK at least three 

New Zealanders are paralysed by 

a spinal cord injury. 

Last week, The Palms shopping 

centre manager Emma Smith 

found out how challenging it is 

to be in a wheelchair. 

To raise awareness for spinal 

cord injuries, Mrs Smith spent 

the day in a wheelchair while 

running the shopping centre. 

Getting used to a wheelchair 

was “challenging.” Small things 

like unpacking a bag or a laptop 

or going to the bathroom were a 

struggle, she said. 

“I really appreciated how challenging 

life can be for others and 

I certainly won’t take for granted 

the easy accessibility I have,” she 

said. 

The Palms teamed up with 

the New Zealand Spinal Trust 

as part of a week-long national 

appeal to raise funds and awareness. 

The NZST helps those affected 

by spinal cord injury or impairment 

live independent and 

confident lives. 

Mrs Smith said on average 

three people suffering a spinal 

cord injury was “horrifically 

sad.” 

“It is just really important we 

as a centre understand the frustrations 

and challenges and we 

can continue to make improvements 

for these families. 

“All shopping centres should 

be accessible, there is no excuse 

not to,” she said. 

The Palms is working on making 

its cafes more accessible by 

ensuring there is enough room 

for people with wheelchairs to 

access the area with ease. 

At the shopping centre for the 

exercise was NZST marketing 

manager Mike Brown. 

Six years ago his life changed 

forever when he was struck by a

car while working in Tannum 

Sands, Queensland. 

He was skateboarding to a park 

to meet his son and wife when a 

car crossed the centre line, crashing 

into him and breaking his 

back. 

The accident left Mr Brown 

with a spinal cord injury and he 

requires a wheelchair for mobility. 

Last year, Mr Brown began 

working for NZST following 

the support he and his family 

received after the accident. 

It was a long road to recovery 

for Mr Brown, but he said with 

the right support from organisations 

like the NZST, life is pretty 

good. 

“There are constant struggles, 

accessibility is only one of those 

struggles but I think as a society 

we are certainly a lot more aware 

and we are making more steps to 

make it more inclusive,” he said. 

On Saturday, the shopping 

centre hosted a wheelchair 

obstacle course where the public 

participated with a gold coin 

donation. 

The nationwide appeal started 

on Wednesday for World Spinal

Trees for Rawhiti Domain 


THIRTY-FIVE trees will be 

planted at Rawhiti Domain. 

The city council is planning 

to put them in along the Keyes 

Rd entrance to the domain 

after seven mature pine trees 

were removed 

earlier this 

year because 

of safety 

concerns. 

The Coastal- 

Burwood 

Community 

Tim Baker 

Board 

approved 

for 35 trees with five different 

species to be planted at the 

domain at its meeting last week. 

The winter and spring flowering 

cherries, walnut trees, 

almond and totaras will be 

planted this month. 

The city council began public 

consultation on the plans in 

July after the community board 

requested a landscape plan 

be developed to improve the 

domain. 

Community board member 

Tim Baker said the tree planting 

is “brilliant news.” He is hoping 

the community is happy with 

the decision. 

More than 70 residents submitted 

on the plans. 

Submitters had previously 

raised concerns over the lack 

of long-term planning in the 

park. 

The city council’s current 

Long Term Plan 2018 /2028 plans 

to allocate $10,000 to enhance 

entrances in the Rawhiti Domain. 

Tree stumps left behind when 

the pine trees were removed 

at the Keyes Rd entrance are 

now being used as a trial nature 

space. 

Community group, The 

Guardians of Rawhiti Domain, 

is planning to transform woodland, 

located off Keyes Rd, into a 

“natural play space.” 

Last month students from 

Rawhiti School, Shirley Primary 

School, South Brighton Playcentre 

and residents gathered for 

a native planting and unveiled 

a sign for a temporary nature 

playspace at the domain. 

INNOVATIVE: 

Children have 

been using the 

felled trees at 

Rawhiti Domain 

as a natural 

play space. 

The guardians will 

maintain the remaining logs 

and stumps for one year 

while they consult with the 

community on a more long-term 

nature play area.

Board 

moves to 

protect 

landmarks 


INQUIRIES HAVE been made 

into the heritage status of the 

New Brighton Clock Tower and 

War Memorial to ensure its 

protection in the future. 

The Coastal -Burwood Community 

Board asked city council 

staff to report back on the status 

of both landmarks to assure it 

would not be at risk of being 

removed. Chairwoman Kim 

Money said the area doesn’t have 

a lot of heritage and it was important 

to give the clock tower 

and cenotaph a significant status 

so they can’t be altered. 

City council staff reported at 

the board’s meeting last week 

the clock tower, opened in 1935, 

is listed as a heritage place in 

the District Plan. While the war 

memorial unveiled in 1925 is not 

listed in the plan, it is considered 

to be significant for its social history 

and is a local landmark. 

The city council is currently 

investigating the possibility of 

illuminating the clock tower.

Chlorine-free 

water supply 

one step closer 


THE NORTH-WEST is one 

step closer to being chlorine-free 

as the construction of a new 

pump station finishes. 

The new Gardiners pump 

station has been constructed in 

Harewood Park, replacing the 

old Harewood pump station. 

City council planning and 

delivery manager John Moore 

said the project cost $6.05 million 

including investigation, 

design, construction, project 

management, construction and 

commissioning of the pump station, 

suction tank, diesel tank, 

two deep wells, access road and 

drainage. 

“The pump station was built 

to replace Harewood pump station, 

which had a shallow well, 

and also to provide additional 

supply capacity for growth in 

the north-west area, particularly 

in Highsted and Upper Styx,” 

he said. 

The city council stopped chlorinating 

the Thompsons water 

pump station in late August, 

bringing the total number of 

pump stations across the city 

not being chlorinated to eight. 

Including the Gardiners 

pump Station, that number was 

now nine. 

INMATES ARE doing their bit 

to keep newborn babies cosy this 

month. 

One hundred baby beanies 

crocheted by prisoners have 

been donated to newborns at 

Christchurch Women’s Hospital. 

The Christchurch Women’s 

Prison’s knit project is growing 

in popularity and currently 

involves nine novice and 

experienced knitters. 

Poppy, who is part of the 

prison group, is a very keen 

knitter. 

Over the past few months, she 

has knitted 83 of the hats. 

“I enjoy knitting and through 

my knitting, I can do something 

useful and give something 

back to society while I am 

incarcerated,” she said. 

“I am approached by other 

prisoners and teach them to knit 

from basics to cables. I think it 

is good for the younger women, 

keeping them busy.” 

Christchurch Women’s Prison 

residential manager Tracy Tyro 

said it is a constructive activity 

for inmates. 

“They appreciate being able 

to do something positive with 

their spare time. It can be a very 

therapeutic activity. The knitting 

group can be a good quiet space 

for the women.” 

“This is a project that really 

appeals to the women, many 

of whom have children and 

grandchildren of their own. They 

appreciate the difference a hat 

can make to keeping little ones 

warm. It offers the women an 

opportunity to create something 

pretty and practical for some 

of our community’s most 

vulnerable.” 

She said in addition to helping 

someone in the community, the 

women have learnt other skills. 

“They learn to work and be 

in a group, to take instruction 

and share their knowledge, they 

can be creative and express 

themselves in new ways. All of 

these skills will be useful for 

when they are released.” 

The project has been

QUEENSPARK Primary 

School pupils have put 

their minds to the test, 

winning a top award in a 

South Island social science 

competition. 

Pupils took part in the 

Tournament of Minds a 

problem solving school 

tournament aiming to 

teach pupils enterprise, 

time management and 

discipline to work collaboratively. 

The year 5 and 6 team 

won their section of the 

category and will go 

through to the national 

competition to be held 

in Wellington later this 

month. 

The year 7 and 8 team 

were also successful receiving 

honours/runner 

up. 

Secondary and primary 

schools from around the 

South Island took part in 

the Christchurch regional 

competition. 

Both the school’s year 

5 and 6 and year 7 and 8 

team took part in the social 

science category, which 

looks at moral and ethical 

issues in the 21st-century. 

The theme for the 

Christchurch regional 

tournament was “Don’t 

Fence Me In”. 

The year 5/6 team 

discussed the Berlin Wall 

while the year 7/8 team 

made a presentation on 

the Vikings raids during 

the late 8th to late 11th 

centuries. 

Deputy principal Pauline 

Jansen said pupils had to 

discuss the background, 

the consequences in history 

and the social context. 

She said the pupils did a 

“fabulous” job and she was 

stoked with their results. 

Pupils were also required 

to take part in a challenge 

where they had about five 

minutes to brain storm 

a creative response on a 

secret topic. 

The national competition 

will be held in Wellington 

on September 15-16 at 

Victoria University. 

Successful schools will 

go to the international 

competition will be held in 

Darwin in October.

Putting smiles on the faces of strangers 


SMALL ACTS of kindness 

“make the world a better place” 

- at least, that’s what Feebee 

Newlands believes. 

Mrs Newlands is the founder 

of Pay It Forward, a volunteer 

organisation which has been 

dedicated to carrying our 

random acts of kindness for the 

past five years. 

On September 1, the 15th 

New Zealand Random Acts of 

Kindness Day, Mrs Newlands 

and her team armed themselves 

with flowers and lollies to give 

out around the city. 

“It was a lot of fun this year, we 

ran into a lot of people who had 

bad days and they said ‘thank 

goodness you’ve come along and 

cheered me up, I feel so happy 

now’,” she said. 

“There were a lot of emotions 

this year, there have obviously 

been some tough times for 

people, so it’s just a matter 

of bringing some cheer to 

Christchurch.” 

The group visited Ronald 

McDonald House, the YMCA, 

the Margaret Mahy Family 

Playground, Christchurch 

Charity Hospital, Ngaio Marsh 

Retirement Village and others. 

“It was a day of joy and 

excitement, and just people 

getting out of their comfort zone 

. . . It’s so great to have some fun 

with the kids, and the elderly 

were just beside themselves 

getting flowers and chocolates.” 

This year’s theme was suicide 

awareness, and Mrs Newlands 

said the support from local 

sponsors had been “incredible”. 

“We had a focus on suicide 

awareness which was tough 

because two of the girls have lost

Day. 

their a mother, brother and son 

to suicide,” she said. 

“Everything gets donated, 

it’s amazing. Nona [general 

manager] from Moffat’s Flower 

Company, as soon as she found 

out it was for suicide awareness, 

she just gave us bucket-loads of 

flowers, it was incredible.” 

Mrs Newlands started the Pay 

It Forward group five years ago. 

She said she wanted to inspire 

others to perform random acts 

of kindness not only just on 

September 1, but all year round. 

“It’s pretty powerful. It’s a great 

message of remembering to reach 

out, build a better community 

and love and support one 

another,” she said. 

“It’s a really important day, 

and we want to create that ripple 

effect. There are people that do 

random acts of kindness all the 

time, but there are some that 

don’t do it, and we want to get 

people to start doing it all the 

time.” 

She said she wanted to expand 

Pay It Forward to include people 

from all over the country, 

encouraging them to reach out to 

their own communities. 

“It’s all about linking people 

from all over New Zealand up,” 

she said. 

“I’m trying to collect people 

from all over New Zealand to 

make the magic happen. We have 

some guys in Nelson, we had 

someone from Oamaru, some 

from Hokitika, people from 

Auckland.”

PEGASUS POST 

Woolston duo seek 

national boxing titles 

FUNDS: Queenspark Primary School pupils Ella and Caleb 

McNicholl with Emily Box of the Cancer Society New Zealand. 

For a good cause 

BROTHER AND sister Ella and 

Caleb McNicholl have done their 

bit to raise funds for the Cancer 

Society New Zealand. 

The Queenspark Primary 

School pupils raised $846 by selling 

daffodils. 

A cheque was presented to 

Emily Box from the Cancer Society 

at a school assembly last week. 

Ms Box said the society would 

like to pass on its sincere thanks 

to Caleb, Ella and the school 

community for their “amazing 

support” for Daffodil Day. 

With each donation they also 

gave pupils the opportunity to 

guess the number of jellybeans in 

a jar. 

Caleb said he wanted to do this 

because he has family members 

who have previously been affected 

by cancer. He said he wanted 

to help others so they don’t have 

to go through the same suffering. 

FAST FACTS 

•It is estimated about 

60 New Zealanders are 

diagnosed with cancer daily. 

•The most common 

cancers are bowel cancer, 

breast cancer, cervical 

cancer, lung cancer, 

prostate cancer, skin cancer, 

including melanoma. 

•Smoking is the leading 

cause of preventable death 

in New Zealand. About 

5000 New Zealanders die 

every year from smoking 

related diseases. 

• By Jacob Page 

A CHANCE at redemption and 

a debut on the national stage are 

the motivators for two Woolston 

boxers. 

Coach Holly Sullivan believes 

she has a couple of dark horses in 

Trevor Swainson and Hamuera 

Tainui for the New Zealand 

amateur championships at the 

Hornby Workingmen’s Club next 

month. 

Swainson, 25, will compete in 

the 91kg elite grade and Tainui, 

14, will take part in the 63kg 

cadet section. 

Swainson will be competing in 

his first nationals after an injured 

rib ruled him out last year. 

While Tainui will be looking 

to go one better than his silver 

medal last year at his final 

opportunity in the cadet class. 

“I don’t put guys in there if I 

don’t think hey have a chance to 

win,” Sullivan said. 

“Trevor is someone who’s been 

training with me for the past five 

years and rediscovered his fire 

for boxing after stepping away. 

“He’s really excited to be 

competing and just wants to 

go up against the best in the 

country.” 

Tainui lost his gold medal bout 

to Canterbury teammate Daniel 

Meehan 12 months ago. 

Meehan will move up to the 

junior grade this year meaning 

Tainui will have a chance at the 

gold to add to his silver. 

“He’s a very strong kid,” 

Sullivan said. “If he lifts his 

work-rate during rounds, I think 

he can win for sure. 

Both guys are capable on 

their day of beating anyone 

and I’m super stoked with their 

preparation.” 

Sullivan hoped they 

would not be the only 

Woolston boxers to 

make the team with 

several box-offs set 

to determine any 

additions to the team 

in the coming days. 

The event runs 

from October 3 

to 6. 

ROUND: Woolston 

boxers Hamuera 

Tainui (right) and

Rapid rowing rise 

for talented teen 


AVON ROWER Ben Taylor is 

achieving his goals so quickly 

he’s having to create new ones. 

The 18-year-old thought he 

would have been spending more 

time around the clubrooms 

after finishing up at St Andrew’s 

College last year, but he’s spent 

more time overseas with 

New Zealand teams. 

He had an impressive 

world under-23 championships 

in Poland where 

his coxed four took 

silver. 

He is now in Bulgaria 

with the New Zealand 

elite team for the world 

championships, which 

got under way over the 

weekend, in the reserve 

pair with Joe Wright. 

“It’s been an unbelievable 18 

months,” he said. 

“I need to set new goals because 

I’ve achieved so many of 

my two-to-five year ones.” 

Taylor was part of the winning 

Maadi Cup squad in 2017 which 

not only brought back the top 

prize for the first time in the college’s 

history, but the Springbok 

Shield as well. 

Rowing is in Taylor’s blood, 

the last time the school raised 

SPORTS 

the shield was when his father, 

Andrew, was in the boat 34 years 

ago. While Taylor is essentially 

injury-cover in Bulgaria he said 

he was still making the most of 

the elite environment. 

“It’s been very welcoming so 

far,” he said. 

“In training for the event, it’s 

been great to watch how some of 

the more experienced 

guys go about their 

business.’’ 

Taylor said he 

had a bond with top 

Kiwi single-sculler 

and fellow former St 

Andrew’s College rower 

Robbie Manson. 

“Robbie has been 

super helpful,” he said. 

Ben Taylor “He doesn’t give you a 

lot of help but if you ask 

for it, he’ll make the time.” 

Taylor said his rapid rise had 

allowed him to realistically 

dream about being part of the 

2020 Tokyo Olympics. 

“I definitely wouldn’t have 

dreamed about that 18 months 

ago.” He said he wouldn’t mind 

what boat he was put into. 

“It doesn’t matter I’ve been 

looking at everything as an 

opportunity so far so I’ll try 

to make the best out of any 

situation.” 

Vaulting to the top 


WAINONI’S TE Wero 

Gymnastics Club has come a 

long way in less than three years 

and is starting the see the fruits 

of its labour. 

Less than three years ago, the 

club started with 12 gymnasts 

and a leased building. 

Now the club now has six of 

their seven senior gymnasts 

named in the Canterbury team 

which will head to the nationals 

in Tauranga next month. 

Sienna-Jean Hooft (step 5 

team), Hazel Hall, Serena Lim, 

Libby McDonald, and Momo 

Wilson (step 6 team and Jun 

McDonald have all been selected 

to compete while Jozsi Ferencz 

and Svetlana Sazonova will be 

team coaches. 

The New Zealand Gymnastics 

Championships at ASB Arena in 

Bay Park, Tauranga from October 

3 to 6. 

Te Wero chairwoman Melanie 

Bloom said the selections were 

due to the hard-work of her 

coaches and volunteers. 

“To have all seven of our team 

originally selected and tot have 

six competing is a credit to our 

coaches and their techniques and 

how hard our volunteers work 

to keep the club growing,” Ms 

Bloom said. 

Head coach, Ferencz is a former 

Romanian national coach. 

Jozsi took the Romanian men’s

team to the podium for the very 

first time at the 1995 World 

Championships and two apparatus 

medals at the 1996 Olympic 

Games in Atlanta. 

Sazonova is a former Russian 

junior team member. 

“The club has become a real 

melting pot of different nationalities 

which has brought a lot of 

new ideas and different coaching 

techniques,” Bloom said. 

The senior gymnasts range in 

age between nine and 12 and put 

in more than 20 hours a week to 

prepare for the nationals where 

they will compete in floor, bar, 

beam and vault routines.

PROMINENT Cantabrians 

have given a mixed response to 

the possible futuristic look of 

Cathedral Square. 

Plans for what the Square 

could look like were released 

by Regenerate Christchurch 

yesterday after seven years of 

debate and controversy over the 

slow progress of the rebuild. 

It includes three covered 

pavilions, which would have 

a “lattice-style” translucent 

roof, which could host markets 

and other events. 

FUTURISTIC: Plans released yesterday show what Cathedral Square could look like. 

The long-term vision, which is 

estimated to cost between $60- 

$80 million, aims to bring people 

back into the area, through a 

series of interconnected public 

spaces. 

The vision for the Square also 

includes Cathedral Gardens 

with trees and water features, 

Post Office Place with events 

and meeting spaces, and Library 

Plaza with other people-friendly 

areas.

“I’m confident Regenerate 

Christchurch’s vision will allow 

this to happen.” 

City councillor Deon Swiggs 

said it would need to work 

around other developments 

such as Turanga, the Spark 

building, Aotea Gifts and the 

restoration of Christ Church 

Cathedral. 

“We’ve got to look at what is 

happening, what’s in the vision 

and what can we deliver.”

A CON man who tells his 

intended victims he will harm 

their families if they don’t pay up 

may face a bigger problem than 

the law – gangs. 

Police have received 19 complaints 

from Christchurch people 

targeted by the sinister scam. It 

involves phone 

calls and texts to 

victims who are 

told the caller is 

from the Mongrel 

Mob, Highway 61 

or Black Power. 

Pay up or your 

family members, Greg 

including elderly Newbold 

parents, will be 

attacked, the caller says. 

But it appears the con man is 

not connected to the gangs, just 

using their names to put fear into 

the intended victims. 

Canterbury University criminologist 

Greg Newbold said yesterday 

the gangs would be “filthy”. 

“All I can say is he’s got a death 

wish,” he said. 

“They will be absolutely p***ed 

off. Anybody who impersonates 

a gang member is committing a 

serious crime against the gang.” 

Prof Newbold said the perpetrator 

could get a “hiding” for that 

alone.

OUR SUCCESS 

Convicted killer involved 

in high speed smash 

Female 

passenger 

in lucky 

escape 

• By Barry Clarke and Emily 

O’Connell 

A CONVICTED killer is back 

behind bars after a spectacular 

crash while allegedly fleeing 

police. 

John Oliver Jamieson’s Subaru 

Forester crashed through the 

Rolleston dog park fence on 

Saturday. 

A spear-like fence post 

smashed through the window 

screen narrowly missing a 

woman in the passenger seat. 

Miraculously Jamieson and the 

woman were unhurt. 

He had earlier been recorded 

driving at 180km/h on State 

Highway 1. 

A cut-down rifle was later 

found by police in the vehicle. 

Startled dog walkers said 

Jamieson ran a short distance 

from the vehicle before stopping 

to see if the woman in the vehicle 

was okay. 

Police arrived soon after and 

he was apprehended. 

Jamieson was one of six men 

found guilty of the manslaughter 

of Timaru man Wayne Kerry 

Bray in 2009. Jamieson received 

a nine-year jail sentence. He was 

on bail for other charges at the 

time of the attack on Mr Bray. 

Mr Bray, 26, died four days 

after he was punched, kicked and 

stomped on in a Timaru street. 

Mr Bray had walked past a 

property where there had been a 

party. There had been bad blood

REAL ESTATE 

Grand street appeal, contemporary interiors 

47 Hackthorne Road, Cashmere 

Auction: Thursday, 27 September 2018 Unless Sold Prior 

5 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | 3 off-street parks | Listing #BE193116 

With story book charm and grand street 

appeal this home was always designed 

to impress and never more so than now, 

with modern homes all beginning to look 

the same. The wide front portico with its 

black and white chequered floor opens 

into an expansive entry area with polished 

wood floors, white wood panelling and the 

stairway to the upstairs rooms. Impeccably 

updated interiors are tasteful and elegant. 

The family living and dining spaces and 

kitchen are nicely connected to the central 

entrance area with a second formal living 

room on the opposite side. Doors can be 

flung open to create large flowing spaces 

or closed off for a more cosy, intimate 

feel. A central wood burner efficiently 

heats all the spaces with the warm glow 

of real flame. The designer kitchen, all 

in warm tones of white with extra wide, 

freestanding oven, fits perfectly with 

the character of the home while adding 

contemporary convenience. A butler’s 

pantry helps keep mess to a minimum 

and adds a ton of storage. Adjacent to the 

dining room, there is a sizeable laundry 

with a showering and wash area. The 

communal spaces enjoy views over the 

treetops and all day sun. 

There are as many as six bedrooms, 

one downstairs with an ensuite and the 

others all upstairs along with the main 

bathroom. From the upstairs rooms there 

are lovely views over the city ensuring 

something to capture the eye day or night. 

This substantial family home affords the 

flexibility to configure it to suit your needs 

with plenty of options for families of all 

shapes and sizes.
