Huge support for<br />

East’s coastal stand<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

and Matt Salmons<br />

DAVID EAST has received<br />

a flood of support over his<br />

allegations the city’s District<br />

Plan was tampered with, which<br />

could see him asked to resign as<br />

a city councillor.<br />

He is facing a disciplinary<br />

hearing and has been stood<br />

down as chairman of the regulatory<br />

performance committee<br />

after calling for an independent<br />

inquiry into an erased clause in<br />

the District Plan.<br />

Cr East alleged the omission<br />

of a discretionary rule in the city<br />

council’s High Flood Hazard<br />

Management Area policy was<br />

against the intentions of the<br />

replacement district plan independent<br />

hearing’s panel.<br />

Without the discretionary<br />

rule known as the enable clause<br />

residents are finding it almost<br />

impossible to build or extend<br />

their properties within the<br />

HFHMA.<br />

It affects people in Southshore<br />

and Redcliffs.<br />

The city council fought the inclusion<br />

of the clause during the<br />

process of the plan’s ratification<br />

by a hearings panel two years<br />

ago.<br />

I’M NOT surprised David East has got the<br />

backing of the community over his stand<br />

on the flooding and building issues which<br />

will affect many in Southshore and across<br />

the estuary in Redcliffs.<br />

But it looks like he will get slam-dunked<br />

by Mayor Lianne Dalziel and city council bosses.<br />

Time will tell if he will be asked to resign as a city councillor.<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairwoman Kim Money<br />

and her deputy Tim Sintes are also facing council disciplinary<br />

action too.<br />

Councillors are supposed to follow certain rules when they<br />

speak publicly. But Dalziel and the city council have been very<br />

heavy-handed.<br />

East’s public stand is what people wanting to build on their<br />

empty sections want to hear.<br />

They need a voice.<br />

Online arguments tie up police<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

PEOPLE ARE increasingly<br />

going to the police to report<br />

arguments they are having<br />

online.<br />

But New Brighton Sergeant<br />

Jim Currie says the police is not<br />

often the best<br />

place to go.<br />

He said<br />

there had been<br />

an increase<br />

in complaints<br />

involving<br />

Facebook<br />

arguments<br />

in the last<br />

month.<br />

Jim Currie<br />

He is calling for people to deal<br />

with the matters differently.<br />

“The best way they can deal<br />

with it is to block the person and<br />

keep themselves safe by talking<br />

to Netsafe,” said Sergeant Currie.<br />

Netsafe is a New Zealand independent<br />

and not-for-profit<br />

online safety organisation.<br />

“It’s about people who were<br />

once friends having fallouts, and<br />

then people are saying things on<br />

social media about each other<br />

and they don’t like what they are<br />

saying, so they are complaining<br />

to police about it.”<br />

“A lot of these aren’t really<br />

police matters and they are tying<br />

up resources which could<br />

be used elsewhere . . . basically<br />

we are telling people we don’t<br />

always have time to investigate<br />

these things and that people<br />

need to look after themselves on<br />

social media,” he said.<br />

People are reporting the<br />

incidences through the crime<br />

reporting line, phoning the police<br />

or coming into the station.<br />

Sergeant Currie said while<br />

there are some “grey areas”<br />

around police jurisdiction and<br />

the internet, if there are threats<br />

to cause serious harm or the<br />

belief the person is capable of<br />

causing harm, then they would<br />

be involved.<br />

However, if a disagreement<br />

happens, police have little power<br />

to get involved, due to it being<br />

CONCERNS:<br />

East says he will apologise if he is wrong<br />

•From page 1<br />

“Sir Tipene O’Regan is one I<br />

am happy to acknowledge”.<br />

Ms Money said: “We need<br />

to speak up and make a stand<br />

for our community and that is<br />

exactly what we have done.”<br />

Since Cr East’s stand, there<br />

has been calls for him to run for<br />

mayor at next year’s local body<br />

elections.<br />

But while many in the<br />

community are supporting<br />

Burwood Ward councillor<br />

and Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board member<br />

Glenn Livingstone and other<br />

city councillors won’t commit to<br />

supporting Cr East.<br />

“Personally myself, I wouldn’t<br />

be making allegations like this,”<br />

said Cr Livingstone.<br />

“The facts need to be established<br />

first”.<br />

Cr East said he would be “more<br />

than happy to unreservedly<br />

apologise” if it transpired he was<br />

wrong and had been “led up the<br />

garden path.”<br />

Cr East’s fellow city councillors<br />

have closed ranks when asked<br />

whether they support his public<br />

stand.<br />

Cr East also said he has “no axe<br />

to grind” with the lack of support<br />

from his fellow city councillors.<br />

He had expected it given they<br />

have been told not to comment to<br />

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

empty sections.<br />

media because Ms Dalziel is handling<br />

potential code of conduct<br />

proceedings.<br />

Christchurch East MP Poto<br />

Williams would also not comment<br />

on whether she supported<br />

Cr East’s accusations.<br />

“But I do recognise there are<br />

some issues of fairness that the<br />

residents have raised in terms of<br />

their ability to rebuild or build<br />

on their property,” Ms Williams<br />

said.<br />

Approaches have been made to<br />

various MP offices to make them<br />

aware of the issue and how they<br />

might resolve it.<br />

“There are things happening in<br />

the background but I don’t want<br />

to prejudice any ongoing discussion,”<br />

she said.<br />

Christchurch East National list<br />

MP Jo Hayes said Cr East had<br />

“unhitched a can of worms.”<br />

“He has opened it right up,<br />

and an independent inquiry<br />

will prove if what he is saying is<br />

right,” Ms Hayes said.<br />

Southshore Residents’ Association<br />

chairwoman Lynda<br />

Burdekin said it is 100 per cent<br />

behind Cr East and it supports<br />

and applauds him for his stand.<br />

Southshore resident Cherylan<br />

Davies, who has been trying to<br />

build a house after purchasing a section<br />

on Rocking Horse Rd, agrees.<br />

After investing $22,680<br />

on consultants, building<br />

consent fees and a geotechnical<br />

report she and her husband were<br />

informed they needed a resource<br />

consent to proceed.<br />

Mrs Davies said it will cost<br />

$5850 to lodge an application for<br />

a resource consent. A consultant<br />

planner said it was likely the resource<br />

consent would be refused<br />

by the city council and an appeal<br />

to the Environment Court would<br />

be necessary.<br />

Cr East has done what his<br />

constituents have asked him to<br />

do, she said.<br />

South Brighton Residents’<br />

Association secretary Séamus<br />

O’Cromtha said it is up to Cr<br />

East to substantiate what he alleges.<br />

“I think the best way to cut<br />

through all this fog and confusion<br />

is to have a full independent<br />

inquiry into city council practices<br />

over the last few years,” he said.<br />

Christchurch Coastal Residents’<br />

United deputy chairman<br />

Warwick Schaefer said the group<br />

was “absolutely backing David.”<br />

The city council should focus<br />

on issues around the HFHMA<br />

policy rather than Cr East’s<br />

conduct.<br />

He said it felt like “they’re<br />

shooting the messenger.”<br />

No timeline to re-install fronds<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />

Harding<br />

THE Anzac Drive bridge’s iconic<br />

fronds could be a long way off<br />

from being re installed.<br />

The Coastal- Burwood Community<br />

Board is pushing for the<br />

fronds to be placed back on the<br />

bridge after they<br />

were taken down<br />

in 2010 for safety<br />

reasons.<br />

But city<br />

council operations<br />

manager<br />

Steffan Thomas<br />

said there is no<br />

Kim Money<br />

funding to reinstate the fronds<br />

and therefore no time frame is<br />

available.<br />

Board chairwoman Kim<br />

Money said the best outcome<br />

would be for the fronds to be<br />

re-installed.<br />

“We really want to see them<br />

back up because they are beautiful<br />

pieces of art. It is a shame to<br />

have them sitting somewhere<br />

waiting on a 10 to 20-year plan<br />

for the bridge to be replaced,” she<br />

said.<br />

Mr Thomas said the fronds<br />

were originally put in place for<br />

art and beautification and to<br />

reflect the plant life in the area.<br />

The fronds were first installed<br />

in about 2000 and taken down<br />

in 2008 due to safety concerns as<br />

the streetlight steel was beginning<br />

to show metal fatigue at the<br />

mounting points.<br />

After further engineering design,<br />

the fronds were reinstated<br />

in July 2010.<br />

But they were removed following<br />

<strong>September</strong> 2010 earthquake<br />

by the New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency so their condition could<br />

be assessed.<br />

Mr Thomas said if the fronds<br />

are to be re-installed they will be<br />

on their own supports and not<br />

attached to the bridge structure.<br />

However, NZTA said the<br />

fronds may have to be temporarily<br />

removed and stored when the<br />

bridge is replaced.<br />

A NZTA spokeswoman said<br />

BEAUTIFICATION:<br />

The Coastal-<br />

Burwood<br />

Community Board<br />

has asked for the<br />

fronds at the Anzac<br />

Drive bridge to be<br />

reinstalled. ​<br />

there is no plan in the next three<br />

years to replace the bridge.<br />

They are currently being stored<br />

in the city council’s contractors<br />

yard at McLeans Island.<br />

Shirley trust<br />

opens new<br />

building<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

IT’S BEEN a long time coming,<br />

but the MacFarlane Park Centre<br />

has opened in Shirley.<br />

The centre will serve as a<br />

community hub alongside<br />

the original MacFarlane Park<br />

Neighbourhood Centre.<br />

Shirley Community Trust<br />

manager Jane Mitchell said she<br />

was “overwhelmed” by the support<br />

from the community.<br />

The building, which had a<br />

large meeting room, two offices,<br />

a kitchen and toilets, was<br />

donated to the city by the Lions<br />

Clubs International Foundation<br />

following the February 22, 20<strong>11</strong>,<br />

earthquake.<br />

It was used as the temporary<br />

St Albans Community Centre<br />

on Colombo St before moving to<br />

Shirley.​There were some delays<br />

to the process as the city council<br />

initially estimated the cost to<br />

relocate the building would be<br />

$100,000. However, more detailed<br />

planning revealed it would<br />

cost $225,000.<br />

The initial $100,000 was<br />

approved through the city<br />

council’s Annual Plan, and an<br />

additional $125,000 was fast<br />

tracked for the move.<br />

Meeting the challenges wheelchair users face<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

EVERY WEEK at least three<br />

New Zealanders are paralysed by<br />

a spinal cord injury.<br />

Last week, The Palms shopping<br />

centre manager Emma Smith<br />

found out how challenging it is<br />

to be in a wheelchair.<br />

To raise awareness for spinal<br />

cord injuries, Mrs Smith spent<br />

the day in a wheelchair while<br />

running the shopping centre.<br />

Getting used to a wheelchair<br />

was “challenging.” Small things<br />

like unpacking a bag or a laptop<br />

or going to the bathroom were a<br />

struggle, she said.<br />

“I really appreciated how challenging<br />

life can be for others and<br />

I certainly won’t take for granted<br />

the easy accessibility I have,” she<br />

said.<br />

The Palms teamed up with<br />

the New Zealand Spinal Trust<br />

as part of a week-long national<br />

appeal to raise funds and awareness.<br />

The NZST helps those affected<br />

by spinal cord injury or impairment<br />

live independent and<br />

confident lives.<br />

Mrs Smith said on average<br />

three people suffering a spinal<br />

cord injury was “horrifically<br />

sad.”<br />

“It is just really important we<br />

as a centre understand the frustrations<br />

and challenges and we<br />

can continue to make improvements<br />

for these families.<br />

“All shopping centres should<br />

be accessible, there is no excuse<br />

not to,” she said.<br />

The Palms is working on making<br />

its cafes more accessible by<br />

ensuring there is enough room<br />

for people with wheelchairs to<br />

access the area with ease.<br />

At the shopping centre for the<br />

exercise was NZST marketing<br />

manager Mike Brown.<br />

Six years ago his life changed<br />

forever when he was struck by a<br />

CHALLENGE:<br />

The Palms<br />

Shopping<br />

Centre<br />

manager<br />

Emma Smith<br />

found how<br />

difficult it<br />

was to be in<br />

a wheelchair<br />

while running<br />

an entire mall.<br />

car while working in Tannum<br />

Sands, Queensland.<br />

He was skateboarding to a park<br />

to meet his son and wife when a<br />

car crossed the centre line, crashing<br />

into him and breaking his<br />

back.<br />

The accident left Mr Brown<br />

with a spinal cord injury and he<br />

requires a wheelchair for mobility.<br />

Last year, Mr Brown began<br />

working for NZST following<br />

the support he and his family<br />

received after the accident.<br />

It was a long road to recovery<br />

for Mr Brown, but he said with<br />

the right support from organisations<br />

like the NZST, life is pretty<br />

good.<br />

“There are constant struggles,<br />

accessibility is only one of those<br />

struggles but I think as a society<br />

Trees for Rawhiti Domain<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

THIRTY-FIVE trees will be<br />

planted at Rawhiti Domain.<br />

The city council is planning<br />

to put them in along the Keyes<br />

Rd entrance to the domain<br />

after seven mature pine trees<br />

were removed<br />

earlier this<br />

year because<br />

of safety<br />

concerns.<br />

The Coastal-<br />

Burwood<br />

Community<br />

Tim Baker<br />

Board<br />

approved<br />

for 35 trees with five different<br />

species to be planted at the<br />

domain at its meeting last week.<br />

The winter and spring flowering<br />

cherries, walnut trees,<br />

almond and totaras will be<br />

planted this month.<br />

The city council began public<br />

consultation on the plans in<br />

July after the community board<br />

requested a landscape plan<br />

be developed to improve the<br />

domain.<br />

Community board member<br />

Tim Baker said the tree planting<br />

is “brilliant news.” He is hoping<br />

the community is happy with<br />

the decision.<br />

More than 70 residents submitted<br />

on the plans.<br />

Submitters had previously<br />

raised concerns over the lack<br />

of long-term planning in the<br />

park.<br />

The city council’s current<br />

Long Term Plan <strong>2018</strong> /2028 plans<br />

to allocate $10,000 to enhance<br />

entrances in the Rawhiti Domain.<br />

Tree stumps left behind when<br />

the pine trees were removed<br />

at the Keyes Rd entrance are<br />

now being used as a trial nature<br />

space.<br />

Community group, The<br />

Guardians of Rawhiti Domain,<br />

is planning to transform woodland,<br />

located off Keyes Rd, into a<br />

“natural play space.”<br />

Last month students from<br />

Rawhiti School, Shirley Primary<br />

School, South Brighton Playcentre<br />

and residents gathered for<br />

a native planting and unveiled<br />

a sign for a temporary nature<br />

playspace at the domain.<br />

INNOVATIVE:<br />

Children have<br />

been using the<br />

felled trees at<br />

Rawhiti Domain<br />

as a natural<br />

play space.<br />

The guardians will<br />

maintain the remaining logs<br />

and stumps for one year<br />

while they consult with the<br />

community on a more long-term<br />

nature play area.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Board<br />

moves to<br />

protect<br />

landmarks<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

INQUIRIES HAVE been made<br />

into the heritage status of the<br />

New Brighton Clock Tower and<br />

War Memorial to ensure its<br />

protection in the future.<br />

The Coastal -Burwood Community<br />

Board asked city council<br />

staff to report back on the status<br />

of both landmarks to assure it<br />

would not be at risk of being<br />

removed. Chairwoman Kim<br />

Money said the area doesn’t have<br />

a lot of heritage and it was important<br />

to give the clock tower<br />

and cenotaph a significant status<br />

so they can’t be altered.<br />

City council staff reported at<br />

the board’s meeting last week<br />

the clock tower, opened in 1935,<br />

is listed as a heritage place in<br />

the District Plan. While the war<br />

memorial unveiled in 1925 is not<br />

listed in the plan, it is considered<br />

to be significant for its social history<br />

and is a local landmark.<br />

The city council is currently<br />

investigating the possibility of<br />

illuminating the clock tower.<br />

Chlorine-free<br />

water supply<br />

one step closer<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

THE NORTH-WEST is one<br />

step closer to being chlorine-free<br />

as the construction of a new<br />

pump station finishes.<br />

The new Gardiners pump<br />

station has been constructed in<br />

Harewood Park, replacing the<br />

old Harewood pump station.<br />

City council planning and<br />

delivery manager John Moore<br />

said the project cost $6.05 million<br />

including investigation,<br />

design, construction, project<br />

management, construction and<br />

commissioning of the pump station,<br />

suction tank, diesel tank,<br />

two deep wells, access road and<br />

drainage.<br />

“The pump station was built<br />

to replace Harewood pump station,<br />

which had a shallow well,<br />

and also to provide additional<br />

supply capacity for growth in<br />

the north-west area, particularly<br />

in Highsted and Upper Styx,”<br />

he said.<br />

The city council stopped chlorinating<br />

the Thompsons water<br />

pump station in late August,<br />

bringing the total number of<br />

pump stations across the city<br />

not being chlorinated to eight.<br />

Including the Gardiners<br />

pump Station, that number was<br />

now nine.<br />

INMATES ARE doing their bit<br />

to keep newborn babies cosy this<br />

month.<br />

One hundred baby beanies<br />

crocheted by prisoners have<br />

been donated to newborns at<br />

Christchurch Women’s Hospital.<br />

The Christchurch Women’s<br />

Prison’s knit project is growing<br />

in popularity and currently<br />

involves nine novice and<br />

experienced knitters.<br />

Poppy, who is part of the<br />

prison group, is a very keen<br />

knitter.<br />

Over the past few months, she<br />

has knitted 83 of the hats.<br />

“I enjoy knitting and through<br />

my knitting, I can do something<br />

useful and give something<br />

back to society while I am<br />

incarcerated,” she said.<br />

“I am approached by other<br />

prisoners and teach them to knit<br />

from basics to cables. I think it<br />

is good for the younger women,<br />

keeping them busy.”<br />

Christchurch Women’s Prison<br />

residential manager Tracy Tyro<br />

said it is a constructive activity<br />

for inmates.<br />

“They appreciate being able<br />

to do something positive with<br />

their spare time. It can be a very<br />

therapeutic activity. The knitting<br />

group can be a good quiet space<br />

for the women.”<br />

“This is a project that really<br />

appeals to the women, many<br />

of whom have children and<br />

grandchildren of their own. They<br />

appreciate the difference a hat<br />

can make to keeping little ones<br />

warm. It offers the women an<br />

opportunity to create something<br />

pretty and practical for some<br />

of our community’s most<br />

vulnerable.”<br />

She said in addition to helping<br />

someone in the community, the<br />

women have learnt other skills.<br />

“They learn to work and be<br />

in a group, to take instruction<br />

and share their knowledge, they<br />

can be creative and express<br />

themselves in new ways. All of<br />

these skills will be useful for<br />

when they are released.”<br />

QUEENSPARK Primary<br />

School pupils have put<br />

their minds to the test,<br />

winning a top award in a<br />

South Island social science<br />

competition.<br />

Pupils took part in the<br />

Tournament of Minds a<br />

problem solving school<br />

tournament aiming to<br />

teach pupils enterprise,<br />

time management and<br />

discipline to work collaboratively.<br />

The year 5 and 6 team<br />

won their section of the<br />

category and will go<br />

through to the national<br />

competition to be held<br />

in Wellington later this<br />

month.<br />

The year 7 and 8 team<br />

were also successful receiving<br />

honours/runner<br />

up.<br />

Secondary and primary<br />

schools from around the<br />

South Island took part in<br />

the Christchurch regional<br />

competition.<br />

Both the school’s year<br />

5 and 6 and year 7 and 8<br />

team took part in the social<br />

science category, which<br />

looks at moral and ethical<br />

issues in the 21st-century.<br />

The theme for the<br />

Christchurch regional<br />

tournament was “Don’t<br />

The year 5/6 team<br />

discussed the Berlin Wall<br />

while the year 7/8 team<br />

made a presentation on<br />

the Vikings raids during<br />

the late 8th to late <strong>11</strong>th<br />

centuries.<br />

Deputy principal Pauline<br />

discuss the background,<br />

the consequences in history<br />

and the social context.<br />

She said the pupils did a<br />

“fabulous” job and she was<br />

stoked with their results.<br />

Pupils were also required<br />

to take part in a challenge<br />

where they had about five<br />

minutes to brain storm<br />

a creative response on a<br />

secret topic.<br />

SMALL ACTS of kindness<br />

“make the world a better place”<br />

- at least, that’s what Feebee<br />

Newlands believes.<br />

Mrs Newlands is the founder<br />

of Pay It Forward, a volunteer<br />

organisation which has been<br />

dedicated to carrying our<br />

random acts of kindness for the<br />

past five years.<br />

On <strong>September</strong> 1, the 15th<br />

New Zealand Random Acts of<br />

Kindness Day, Mrs Newlands<br />

and her team armed themselves<br />

with flowers and lollies to give<br />

out around the city.<br />

“It was a lot of fun this year, we<br />

ran into a lot of people who had<br />

bad days and they said ‘thank<br />

goodness you’ve come along and<br />

cheered me up, I feel so happy<br />

now’,” she said.<br />

“There were a lot of emotions<br />

this year, there have obviously<br />

been some tough times for<br />

people, so it’s just a matter<br />

of bringing some cheer to<br />

Christchurch.”<br />

The group visited Ronald<br />

McDonald House, the YMCA,<br />

the Margaret Mahy Family<br />

Playground, Christchurch<br />

Charity Hospital, Ngaio Marsh<br />

Retirement Village and others.<br />

“It was a day of joy and<br />

excitement, and just people<br />

getting out of their comfort zone<br />

. . . It’s so great to have some fun<br />

with the kids, and the elderly<br />

were just beside themselves<br />

getting flowers and chocolates.”<br />

This year’s theme was suicide<br />

awareness, and Mrs Newlands<br />

said the support from local<br />

sponsors had been “incredible”.<br />

“We had a focus on suicide<br />

awareness which was tough<br />

because two of the girls have lost<br />

GOOD WILL:<br />

The Pay It<br />

Forward team<br />

walked the<br />

streets of the<br />

daffodils for<br />

New Zealand<br />

Random Acts<br />

of Kindness<br />

Day.<br />

their a mother, brother and son<br />

to suicide,” she said.<br />

“Everything gets donated,<br />

it’s amazing. Nona [general<br />

manager] from Moffat’s Flower<br />

Company, as soon as she found<br />

out it was for suicide awareness,<br />

she just gave us bucket-loads of<br />

flowers, it was incredible.”<br />

Mrs Newlands started the Pay<br />

It Forward group five years ago.<br />

She said she wanted to inspire<br />

others to perform random acts<br />

of kindness not only just on<br />

<strong>September</strong> 1, but all year round.<br />

“It’s pretty powerful. It’s a great<br />

message of remembering to reach<br />

out, build a better community<br />

and love and support one<br />

another,” she said.<br />

“It’s a really important day,<br />

and we want to create that ripple<br />

effect. There are people that do<br />

random acts of kindness all the<br />

time, but there are some that<br />

don’t do it, and we want to get<br />

people to start doing it all the<br />

time.”<br />

She said she wanted to expand<br />

Pay It Forward to include people<br />

from all over the country,<br />

encouraging them to reach out to<br />

their own communities.<br />

“It’s all about linking people<br />

from all over New Zealand up,”<br />

she said.<br />

“I’m trying to collect people<br />

from all over New Zealand to<br />

make the magic happen. We have<br />

some guys in Nelson, we had<br />

someone from Oamaru, some<br />

from Hokitika, people from<br />

Auckland.”<br />

Woolston duo seek<br />

national boxing titles<br />

FUNDS: Queenspark Primary School pupils Ella and Caleb<br />

McNicholl with Emily Box of the Cancer Society New Zealand.<br />

For a good cause<br />

BROTHER AND sister Ella and<br />

Caleb McNicholl have done their<br />

bit to raise funds for the Cancer<br />

Society New Zealand.<br />

The Queenspark Primary<br />

School pupils raised $846 by selling<br />

daffodils.<br />

A cheque was presented to<br />

Emily Box from the Cancer Society<br />

at a school assembly last week.<br />

Ms Box said the society would<br />

like to pass on its sincere thanks<br />

to Caleb, Ella and the school<br />

community for their “amazing<br />

support” for Daffodil Day.<br />

With each donation they also<br />

gave pupils the opportunity to<br />

guess the number of jellybeans in<br />

a jar.<br />

Caleb said he wanted to do this<br />

because he has family members<br />

who have previously been affected<br />

by cancer. He said he wanted<br />

to help others so they don’t have<br />

to go through the same suffering.<br />

FAST FACTS<br />

•It is estimated about<br />

60 New Zealanders are<br />

diagnosed with cancer daily.<br />

•The most common<br />

cancers are bowel cancer,<br />

breast cancer, cervical<br />

cancer, lung cancer,<br />

prostate cancer, skin cancer,<br />

including melanoma.<br />

•Smoking is the leading<br />

cause of preventable death<br />

in New Zealand. About<br />

5000 New Zealanders die<br />

every year from smoking<br />

related diseases.<br />

A CHANCE at redemption and<br />

a debut on the national stage are<br />

the motivators for two Woolston<br />

boxers.<br />

Coach Holly Sullivan believes<br />

she has a couple of dark horses in<br />

Trevor Swainson and Hamuera<br />

Tainui for the New Zealand<br />

amateur championships at the<br />

Hornby Workingmen’s Club next<br />

month.<br />

Swainson, 25, will compete in<br />

the 91kg elite grade and Tainui,<br />

14, will take part in the 63kg<br />

cadet section.<br />

Swainson will be competing in<br />

his first nationals after an injured<br />

rib ruled him out last year.<br />

While Tainui will be looking<br />

to go one better than his silver<br />

medal last year at his final<br />

opportunity in the cadet class.<br />

“I don’t put guys in there if I<br />

don’t think hey have a chance to<br />

win,” Sullivan said.<br />

“Trevor is someone who’s been<br />

training with me for the past five<br />

years and rediscovered his fire<br />

for boxing after stepping away.<br />

“He’s really excited to be<br />

competing and just wants to<br />

go up against the best in the<br />

country.”<br />

Tainui lost his gold medal bout<br />

to Canterbury teammate Daniel<br />

Meehan 12 months ago.<br />

Meehan will move up to the<br />

junior grade this year meaning<br />

Tainui will have a chance at the<br />

gold to add to his silver.<br />

“He’s a very strong kid,”<br />

Sullivan said. “If he lifts his<br />

work-rate during rounds, I think<br />

he can win for sure.<br />

Both guys are capable on<br />

their day of beating anyone<br />

and I’m super stoked with their<br />

preparation.”<br />

Sullivan hoped they<br />

would not be the only<br />

Woolston boxers to<br />

make the team with<br />

several box-offs set<br />

to determine any<br />

additions to the team<br />

in the coming days.<br />

Rapid rowing rise<br />

for talented teen<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

AVON ROWER Ben Taylor is<br />

achieving his goals so quickly<br />

he’s having to create new ones.<br />

The 18-year-old thought he<br />

would have been spending more<br />

time around the clubrooms<br />

after finishing up at St Andrew’s<br />

College last year, but he’s spent<br />

more time overseas with<br />

New Zealand teams.<br />

He had an impressive<br />

world under-23 championships<br />

in Poland where<br />

his coxed four took<br />

silver.<br />

He is now in Bulgaria<br />

with the New Zealand<br />

elite team for the world<br />

championships, which<br />

got under way over the<br />

weekend, in the reserve<br />

pair with Joe Wright.<br />

“It’s been an unbelievable 18<br />

months,” he said.<br />

“I need to set new goals because<br />

I’ve achieved so many of<br />

my two-to-five year ones.”<br />

Taylor was part of the winning<br />

Maadi Cup squad in 2017 which<br />

not only brought back the top<br />

prize for the first time in the college’s<br />

history, but the Springbok<br />

Shield as well.<br />

Rowing is in Taylor’s blood,<br />

the last time the school raised<br />

SPORTS<br />

the shield was when his father,<br />

Andrew, was in the boat 34 years<br />

ago. While Taylor is essentially<br />

injury-cover in Bulgaria he said<br />

he was still making the most of<br />

the elite environment.<br />

“It’s been very welcoming so<br />

far,” he said.<br />

“In training for the event, it’s<br />

been great to watch how some of<br />

the more experienced<br />

guys go about their<br />

business.’’<br />

Taylor said he<br />

had a bond with top<br />

Kiwi single-sculler<br />

and fellow former St<br />

Andrew’s College rower<br />

Robbie Manson.<br />

“Robbie has been<br />

super helpful,” he said.<br />

Ben Taylor “He doesn’t give you a<br />

lot of help but if you ask<br />

for it, he’ll make the time.”<br />

Taylor said his rapid rise had<br />

allowed him to realistically<br />

dream about being part of the<br />

2020 Tokyo Olympics.<br />

“I definitely wouldn’t have<br />

dreamed about that 18 months<br />

ago.” He said he wouldn’t mind<br />

what boat he was put into.<br />

“It doesn’t matter I’ve been<br />

looking at everything as an<br />

opportunity so far so I’ll try<br />

to make the best out of any<br />

situation.”<br />

WAINONI’S TE Wero<br />

Gymnastics Club has come a<br />

long way in less than three years<br />

and is starting the see the fruits<br />

of its labour.<br />

Less than three years ago, the<br />

club started with 12 gymnasts<br />

and a leased building.<br />

Now the club now has six of<br />

their seven senior gymnasts<br />

named in the Canterbury team<br />

which will head to the nationals<br />

in Tauranga next month.<br />

Sienna-Jean Hooft (step 5<br />

team), Hazel Hall, Serena Lim,<br />

Libby McDonald, and Momo<br />

Wilson (step 6 team and Jun<br />

McDonald have all been selected<br />

to compete while Jozsi Ferencz<br />

and Svetlana Sazonova will be<br />

team coaches.<br />

The New Zealand Gymnastics<br />

Championships at ASB Arena in<br />

Bay Park, Tauranga from October<br />

3 to 6.<br />

Te Wero chairwoman Melanie<br />

Bloom said the selections were<br />

due to the hard-work of her<br />

coaches and volunteers.<br />

“To have all seven of our team<br />

originally selected and tot have<br />

six competing is a credit to our<br />

coaches and their techniques and<br />

how hard our volunteers work<br />

to keep the club growing,” Ms<br />

Bloom said.<br />

Head coach, Ferencz is a former<br />

Romanian national coach.<br />

medals at the 1996 Olympic<br />

Games in Atlanta.<br />

Sazonova is a former Russian<br />

junior team member.<br />

“The club has become a real<br />

melting pot of different nationalities<br />

which has brought a lot of<br />

new ideas and different coaching<br />

techniques,” Bloom said.<br />

The senior gymnasts range in<br />

age between nine and 12 and put<br />

in more than 20 hours a week to<br />

prepare for the nationals where<br />

they will compete in floor, bar,<br />

PROMINENT Cantabrians<br />

have given a mixed response to<br />

the possible futuristic look of<br />

Cathedral Square.<br />

Plans for what the Square<br />

could look like were released<br />

by Regenerate Christchurch<br />

yesterday after seven years of<br />

debate and controversy over the<br />

slow progress of the rebuild.<br />

It includes three covered<br />

pavilions, which would have<br />

a “lattice-style” translucent<br />

roof, which could host markets<br />

and other events.<br />

FUTURISTIC: Plans released yesterday show what Cathedral Square could look like.<br />

The long-term vision, which is<br />

estimated to cost between $60-<br />

$80 million, aims to bring people<br />

back into the area, through a<br />

series of interconnected public<br />

spaces.<br />

The vision for the Square also<br />

includes Cathedral Gardens<br />

with trees and water features,<br />

<strong>Post</strong> Office Place with events<br />

and meeting spaces, and Library<br />

Plaza with other people-friendly<br />

areas.<br />

Former mayor Garry Moore<br />

said the plan was “brilliant”<br />

Lianne Dalziel Garry Moore Jamie Gough Vicki Buck<br />

while developer Ernest Duval<br />

was not fussed by the pavilions. city council and stakeholders to be needed.<br />

The next step is for a delivery determine what could be done, Mayor Lianne Dalziel said destination and residential<br />

strategy to be developed with the when, and what funding would the vision would help people neighbourhood.<br />

Thursday, June 14, <strong>2018</strong><br />

“I’m confident Regenerate<br />

Christchurch’s vision will allow<br />

this to happen.”<br />

City councillor Deon Swiggs<br />

said it would need to work<br />

around other developments<br />

such as Turanga, the Spark<br />

building, Aotea Gifts and the<br />

restoration of Christ Church<br />

Cathedral.<br />

“We’ve got to look at what is<br />

happening, what’s in the vision<br />

and what can we deliver.”<br />

City councillor Jamie Gough<br />

said it was a good starting<br />

point.<br />

A CON man who tells his<br />

intended victims he will harm<br />

their families if they don’t pay up<br />

may face a bigger problem than<br />

the law – gangs.<br />

Police have received 19 complaints<br />

from Christchurch people<br />

targeted by the sinister scam. It<br />

involves phone<br />

calls and texts to<br />

victims who are<br />

told the caller is<br />

from the Mongrel<br />

Mob, Highway 61<br />

or Black Power.<br />

Pay up or your<br />

family members, Greg<br />

including elderly Newbold<br />

parents, will be<br />

attacked, the caller says.<br />

But it appears the con man is<br />

not connected to the gangs, just<br />

using their names to put fear into<br />

the intended victims.<br />

Canterbury University criminologist<br />

Greg Newbold said yesterday<br />

the gangs would be “filthy”.<br />

“All I can say is he’s got a death<br />

wish,” he said.<br />

“They will be absolutely p***ed<br />

off. Anybody who impersonates<br />

a gang member is committing a<br />

serious crime against the gang.”<br />

Prof Newbold said the perpetrator<br />

could get a “hiding” for that<br />

alone.<br />

OUR SUCCESS<br />

Convicted killer involved<br />

in high speed smash<br />

Female<br />

passenger<br />

in lucky<br />

escape<br />

• By Barry Clarke and Emily<br />

O’Connell<br />

A CONVICTED killer is back<br />

behind bars after a spectacular<br />

crash while allegedly fleeing<br />

police.<br />

John Oliver Jamieson’s Subaru<br />

Forester crashed through the<br />

Rolleston dog park fence on<br />

Saturday.<br />

A spear-like fence post<br />

smashed through the window<br />

screen narrowly missing a<br />

woman in the passenger seat.<br />

Miraculously Jamieson and the<br />

woman were unhurt.<br />

He had earlier been recorded<br />

driving at 180km/h on State<br />

Highway 1.<br />

A cut-down rifle was later<br />

found by police in the vehicle.<br />

Startled dog walkers said<br />

Jamieson ran a short distance<br />

from the vehicle before stopping<br />

to see if the woman in the vehicle<br />

was okay.<br />

Police arrived soon after and<br />

he was apprehended.<br />

Jamieson was one of six men<br />

found guilty of the manslaughter<br />

of Timaru man Wayne Kerry<br />

Bray in 2009. Jamieson received<br />

a nine-year jail sentence. He was<br />

on bail for other charges at the<br />

time of the attack on Mr Bray.<br />

Mr Bray, 26, died four days<br />

after he was punched, kicked and<br />

stomped on in a Timaru street.<br />

Mr Bray had walked past a<br />

property where there had been a<br />

party. There had been bad blood<br />

Thursday, June 7, <strong>2018</strong><br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

PROMINENT Cantabrians<br />

have given a mixed response to<br />

the possible futuristic look of<br />

Cathedral Square.<br />

Plans for what the Square<br />

could look like were released<br />

by Regenerate Christchurch<br />

yesterday after seven years of<br />

debate and controversy over the<br />

slow progress of the rebuild.<br />

It includes three covered<br />

pavilions, which would have<br />

a “lattice-style” translucent<br />

roof, which could host markets<br />

and other events.<br />

The long-term vision, which is<br />

estimated to cost between $60-<br />

$80 million, aims to bring people<br />

back into the area, through a<br />

series of interconnected public<br />

spaces.<br />

The vision for the Square also<br />

includes Cathedral Gardens<br />

with trees and water features,<br />

<strong>Post</strong> Office Place with events<br />

and meeting spaces, and Library<br />

Plaza with other people-friendly<br />

areas.<br />

Former mayor Garry Moore<br />

said the plan was “brilliant”<br />

while developer Ernest Duval<br />

was not fussed by the pavilions.<br />

The next step is for a delivery<br />

strategy to be developed with the<br />

FUTURISTIC: Plans released yesterday show what Cathedral Square could look like.<br />

city council and stakeholders to<br />

determine what could be done,<br />

when, and what funding would<br />

be needed.<br />

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said<br />

the vision would help people<br />

think of the central city as a<br />

destination and residential<br />

neighbourhood.<br />

“I’m confident Regenerate<br />

Christchurch’s vision will allow<br />

this to happen.”<br />

City councillor Deon Swiggs<br />

said it would need to work<br />

around other developments<br />

such as Turanga, the Spark<br />

building, Aotea Gifts and the<br />

restoration of Christ Church<br />

Cathedral.<br />

“We’ve got to look at what is<br />

happening, what’s in the vision<br />

and what can we deliver.”<br />

City councillor Jamie Gough<br />

said it was a good starting<br />

point.<br />

5 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | 3 off-street parks | Listing #BE193<strong>11</strong>6<br />

With story book charm and grand street<br />

appeal this home was always designed<br />

to impress and never more so than now,<br />

with modern homes all beginning to look<br />

the same. The wide front portico with its<br />

black and white chequered floor opens<br />

into an expansive entry area with polished<br />

wood floors, white wood panelling and the<br />

stairway to the upstairs rooms. Impeccably<br />

updated interiors are tasteful and elegant.<br />

The family living and dining spaces and<br />

kitchen are nicely connected to the central<br />

entrance area with a second formal living<br />

room on the opposite side. Doors can be<br />

flung open to create large flowing spaces<br />

or closed off for a more cosy, intimate<br />

feel. A central wood burner efficiently<br />

heats all the spaces with the warm glow<br />

of real flame. The designer kitchen, all<br />

in warm tones of white with extra wide,<br />

freestanding oven, fits perfectly with<br />

the character of the home while adding<br />

contemporary convenience. A butler’s<br />

pantry helps keep mess to a minimum<br />

and adds a ton of storage. Adjacent to the<br />

dining room, there is a sizeable laundry<br />

with a showering and wash area. The<br />
