Prompt response to fix flooding issue 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

A MERIVALE couple who 

struggled with flooding on their 

property have been successful 

in spurring the city council into 

action. 

Colin and Valerie Averill, who 

live on Garden Rd, approached 

the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

last week over their concerns of 

flooding from the Wairarapa 

Stream which runs through their 

property. 

Within a few days, Mr Averill 

was advised the city council 

would begin work on a project to 

clear a large amount of weeding 

and silt from the stream. 

Mr Averill said the stream 

overflowed regularly and not just 

when it rained, which had damaged 

trees. 

“We learned this year that the 

river was higher than it normally 

was at this time of year,” he said. 

Community board chairman 

Sam MacDonald said the board 

decided this was an “urgent” 

matter. 

He said it immediately sent a 

request for staff to look into solutions. 

“The earthquakes had essentially 

lifted the land. Previously 

to the earthquake they had been 

having council come and clear 

the stream once a year, but 

because of the silt movement that 

had to increase to twice a year,” 

he said. 

“It got worse recently and they 

don’t want it to get too much 

higher because it’s imposing on 

their property.” 

Mr Averill said the city council 

had done a “great job” managing 

the stream in previous years.

PROMISING YOUNG tennis player Dylan 

Heap has returned to Christchurch after a 

stint in France. 

And while he was there he got to train 

with world No 10 and French Davis Cup 

captain Arnaud Clement. 

That’s no mean feat. 

Heap, who plays for Waimairi, gained valuable match experience, 

playing in many prestigious open tournaments during the 

northern summer. He won three tournaments. 

Said Heap: “I definitely benefited from the experience, which 

was awesome, and can’t wait to do it all again next July.” 

The world’s your oyster for promising young sports people. 

And a good result too for Merivale couple Colin and Valerie 

Averill (page 1). 

Their flooding issues are being sorted.

Call to look at heavy vehicle ban 

• By Anan Zaki 

THE Fendalton-Waimairi- 


has asked city council staff to 

look at the viability of a heavy 

vehicle ban in Avonhead. 

Board chairman Sam Mac- 

Donald said it asked staff last 

week to report back by October 

3. 

The request comes after 

Avonhead residents voiced their 

anger over heavy traffic in the 

Nor’West News last week. 

“We’ve asked staff to go away 

and basically bring us a report 

and say what our options are 

with regard to a [heavy vehicle] 

ban in the area,” Mr MacDonald 

said. 

Staff will investigate options 

for a heavy vehicle ban 

on Roydvale Ave (between 

Avonhead Rd and Memorial 

Ave), Avonhead Rd (between 

Roydvale Ave and Russley Rd) 

and Hawthornden Rd. 

“We just want them to be very 

clear, with the current rules in 

place, what delegations the community 

board has [to ban heavy 

vehicles] and what evidence they 

would require to do that,” Mr 

MacDonald said. 

But he steered clear of committing 

to seek a heavy vehicle 

ban in Avonhead. 

“Until we get advice [from 

staff], it wouldn’t be appropriate 

to comment,” Mr MacDonald 

said. 

Hawthornden Rd resident Jon 

Leadbeater said the community 

board’s request was good news. 

“People in the area would welcome 

that. It could be a big step 

to improve safety. 

“The big wagon trucks, they 

are the things that are concerning 

to the residents.” 

He hoped increased publicity 

will get heavy traffic banned in 

the area. 

“I feel the publicity can make 

the difference. [A ban] would 

be a great outcome for everyone 

concerned,” he said. 

Mr Leadbeater said last week 

that heavy vehicles are using 

Roydvale Ave, Hawthornden Rd 

and Cutts Rd as a shortcut. 

He said heavy traffic increased 

after the Avonhead and Russley 

Rd intersection was closed in 

November 2015, as part of NZ 

UNSAFE: 

Hawthornden 

Rd resident Jon 

Leadbeater has 

welcomed the 

Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board’s 

request to see if a 

heavy vehicle ban is 

viable in Avonhead. 

Transport Agency’s $112 million 

Russley Rd upgrade. 

It follows on from residents 

in Fendalton and Wigram also 

voicing opposition to heavy 

vehicles travelling through residential 

areas. 

Fendalton residents last 

month lost their bid to ban 

heavy vehicles from the Glandovey 

and Idris Rd intersection. 

Lady Wigram Retirement Village 

residents on Lodestar Ave 

also complained about heavy 

traffic last year.

DONATIONS FOR GROUPS 

A petrol station has presented 

the Bishopdale Community 

Centre with a donation to help 

keep it running. The Z station in 

Bishopdale gave the Bishopdale 

Community Trust a donation of 

$808. It was part of the station’s 

Good in the Hood campaign, 

which sees $5000 from each 

station donated to various 

community groups and charity 

organisations. The money went 

towards operational costs for 

the trust and ensured Sundbye

Canterbury Charity Hospital and 

YMCA Preschool and Nursery 

also received donations from the 

station. 

HEADSTONES POSSIBLE 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 


requested that staff provide 

information regarding the 

possible installation of headstones 

in the lawn section of Avonhead 

Park Cemetery and that this 

information be included in the 

previously requested report on 

the options and costs related to 

changing the cemetery facade 

and for consultation on a name 

change, that is to be presented 

to the board at its December

Young dancers in The Nutcracker 


FIVE ST Andrew’s College 

students will be dreaming 

of sugar plum fairies after 

scoring parts in the Royal New 

Zealand Ballet’s rendition of The 

Nutcracker. 

Eilish John, Jai Bartlett, Kate 

McFerran, Charlotte Brown 

and Anja Sander are part of the 

school’s ballet academy and will 

feature in the show at the Isaac 

Theatre Royal from November 

22. 

Eilish, 11, and Jai, 12, said they 

were “so excited” to have the 

opportunity to dance alongside 

some of the country’s best ballerinas. 

“We got sent along to do an 

audition, and then maybe about 

a month later you either got an 

email saying ‘sorry you haven’t 

made it’ or ‘you made it’,” Eilish 

said. 

“We got the email to say we’d 

made it and it was brilliant,” Jai 

said. 

Jai has been learning ballet 

since he was four-years-old. 

“I always liked dancing to 

music as a child, whether that be 

with my mum or just alone,” he 

said. 

“I started doing ballet before 

coming to St Andrew’s, but as 

soon as the ballet programme 

opened in 2011 I jumped straight 

in. I think I was the ‘naughty 

duckling’ for one of my first performances 

there.” 

Eilish joined the St Andrew’s 

College Ballet Academy four 

years ago. 

“I had just moved to Christchurch 

and was a bit nervous about 

everything, and I wanted to try 

some new things. So when ballet 

came up I thought I’d give it a go, 

and I fell in love with it,” she said. 

The pair practised for hours 

each week and both played parts 

in last year’s school production of 

The Nutcracker. 

About 60 children had been 

picked to play parts in Christch-

the RNZB would hold the first 

rehearsals in early October, then 

the children would rehearse once

•From page 1 

Play It Strange chief executive 

Mike Chunn said he was 

“amazed” at the talent that came 

out of Christchurch. “I have the 

best job in the world, listening to 

these songs, it’s that simple.” 

Several famous New Zealand 

artists had been featured on the 

album in past years, including 

Kimbra, Annah Mac, and Georgia 

Nott from the band Broods. 

Mr Chunn started Play it 

Strange in 2004. The first album 

featured 19 songs, and this year’s 

album will include more than 40 

out of the 370 entries. 

“Every single day, every single 

secondary school student will 

hear a recorded song, and the 

craft of writing them is completely 

absent from life at school. Why? 

So that’s what I thought, let’s do 

something about it,” he said. 

Each finalist has been given 

funding to professionally record 

their song to be included on the 

album, which will be released by 

the end of the year.

A THIEF was chased by staff at 

a souvlaki shop and ended up 

jumping a fence after he stole a 

donation box. 

The suspect left Redwood 

Souvlaki with the box, which 

held about $100 in donations 

for Cholmondeley Children’s 

Centre. 

Shop manager Arshdeep 

Dhillon said he and his staff were 

at the back of the store when the 

man pulled the box from the 

front counter. 

“He just quietly came in and 

grabbed it and ran off,” he said. 

“When he ran we tried to 

catch him, but he ran so fast and 

jumped over a fence.” 

He said although there wasn’t 

a lot of money in the donation 

box, he was upset someone had 

taken it. “It’s awful, the money is 

supposed to be for those kids.” 

The man was wearing a blue

A police spokesperson said 

CCTV footage from the shop 

was being reviewed, and police 

asked for any information about 

the incident. 

If you can identify the suspect, 

phone police on 363 7400. 

Solution found to fix flooding issue 

•From page 1 

But he was glad a long-term fix 

was being implemented. 

“We’re used to getting a bit of 

flooding when it rained, 

but what we’re concerned 

about is the higher 

average flow. There’s a 

difference between the 

flash flooding and the 

longer term flooding, and 

we’ve lost a few trees over 

the year because of the 

higher average flow,” Mr 

Averill said. 

He said he and his 

wife were not the only ones 

who had flooding issues as their 

neighbours’ properties were also 

affected. 

“There’s a bit of an island that 

we share with our neighbours 

at the side of our property, and 

that’s given us a bit of a problem. 

The river does come up quite 

quickly, and our island nearly 

goes underwater.” 

Mr Averill said he 

was notified by the city 

council that work would 

start yesterday to clear 

weeds and silt from the 

stream along about a 

1km stretch from Mona 

Vale to the couple’s 

Sam property. 

MacDonald “It’ll take about two or 

three weeks and they’ll 

get rid of it, which is very good 

news for us.” 

“The proof in the pudding is in 

the eating, so we’re waiting with 

baited breath to see if it turns out 

well,” Mr Averill said

Top chippie builds new career 


AFTER STUDYING fine arts at 

Canterbury University, St Albans 

resident Peter Ravn decided he 

wanted to work with his hands. 

His dream is to build sets for 

theatre productions – and what 

better way to gain the necessary 

skills than with a carpentry apprenticeship? 

Now the 26-year-old has been 

named the Central South Island 

Registered Master Builders Carters 

apprentice of the 

year. 

Mr Ravn trained under the 

Building and Construction 

Industry Training Organisation 

and is employed by Armitage 

Williams Construction Ltd. 

He said winning the award was 

“pretty overwhelming”. 

“It’s a pretty big honour for me 

and the company I work for.” 

“I gave it a go last year and 

wasn’t successful, so I tried again 

this year. It was a motivation to 

see how you faced off against 

your contemporaries” 

The regional competition involved 

building something from 

scratch in just two hours. Mr 

Ravn built a tool box. 

“Having to deal with your 

nerves and having to deal with 

industry leaders, I definitely 

think it was a massive thing you

Chlorine-free 

north-west 

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.

New centre open 


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. 

“We had probably about 120 

people there, and I think there 

would have been more if the 

weather was better . . . It was a 

lovely atmosphere.” 

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.The Shirley Community 

Trust had been operating out of 

the MacFarlane Park Neighbourhood 

Centre, a small building at 

the park, for 16 years. 

“We’ve had the neighbourhood 

centre, but this now will allow us 

to grow the things we do because 

it’s a bigger space. Plus, there’s an 

opportunity for other groups to 

WELCOME: The ribbon was 

cut at the Shirley Community 

Trust’s new centre. 

come and hire the centre so that 

offers more to the community,” 

she said. 

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. The trust facilitated 

community meals, after school 

programmes, touch rugby, food 

banks, parenting courses, numeracy 

and literacy classes, and 

youth workers in local schools. 

Experience Chinese culture 


A CHINESE tea ceremony, 

calligraphy and martial arts are 

on the cards for the Christchurch 

Boys’ High School Chinese 

Immersion Day. 

The event is in its fifth year and 

gives students and their families 

across the city the chance to 

experience Chinese culture firsthand. 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

School head of Chinese Huili 

Feng said the day had attracted 

hundreds of visitors in previous 

years. 

“The aim is to create more 

opportunities for students from 

other schools who do not have 

Chinese language courses to 

get some experience in Chinese 

culture,” she said. 

“The event has become popular 

with around 500 participants last 

year.” 

Activities on the day include 

Chinese painting, paper cutting, 

knots, traditional games, folk 

dance, a culture quiz and the 

opportunity to learn Chinese 

characters and numbers. 

Ms Feng said she aimed to 

encourage people to take part in 

as many activities as possible and 

even had an incentive. 

“Each participant is given a 

booklet with the list of activities. 

KNOT MESSING AROUND: Students have a go at making 

Chinese knots at last year’s Chinese Immersion Day. 

The participants are required to 

collect a sticker or stamp for the 

completion of each activity,” she 

said. 

“At the end of the event, they 

can collect a reward according to 

the number of stickers or stamps 

they have collected.”

Mooar, Davidson eye each other up 


TRAINEE BOXERS Mike 

Davidson and Brad Mooar are 

both feeling pretty confident as 

their big fight draws closer. 

The Papanui Ward city 

councillor and Crusaders 

assistant coach are set to battle it 

out in the ring at this year’s Fight 

for Christchurch on November 3. 

Mooar’s campaign manager 

Ben Harris organised an event 

held on Thursday night to raise 

extra funds for Mooar’s chosen 

charity, Conductive Education 

Canterbury. 

The event, which was attended 

by about 45 people, saw $9100 

raised. 

“We had some fantastic 

auction items, and we sold some 

sponsorship on the singlet I’ll be 

wearing for the fight,” he said. 

“I’ve been blown away by the 

support so far. There have been 

some really generous donations 

and people keen to support us. It 

just shows what people are wiling 

to do when the cause is a good 

one.” 

He said he was having fun 

learning the mechanics of boxing 

in the lead up to the fight. 

“I’m just chipping away really, 

it’s going as well as it can,” Mooar

said. 

“I’m just working hard on fitness 

and the real fundamentals 

of protecting myself and the 

footwork. It’s been awesome, 

and I’m in great hands with my 

trainer . . . It’s definitely going 

to be one hell of a challenge, no 

doubt Mike has been training 

hard as well.” 

Davidson has experience with 

endurance sports and did the 

Coast to Coast earlier this year, 

but had never tried boxing. 

“It’s been great so far, I’m having 

fun . . . I’m definitely using 

a lot of different muscles that I 

don’t normally use, I’m feeling it 

in my upper-body,” he said. 

“I guess it’s just a matter of getting 

in the ring and sparring, and 

getting to know what it feels like 

to be punched.” 

Davidson is raising money for 

Cure Kids, and has so far raised 

more than $1200 on his Givealittle 

page. 

“It’s not about the fight, it’s 

not about hurting each other, it’s 

about raising money for some really 

worthy charities,” he said. 

“I’m just trying to encourage 

as many people as possible to 

donate, because it’s such a good 

cause, Cure Kids. Even small 

amounts, it all adds up, the more 

the merrier.” 

He said he hoped to host a raffle 

closer to the fight to assist in 

his fundraising efforts.

Costume hire that 

promotes sustainability 

IN A world where 

single-use products and 

fast fashion has become 

the norm, Gabrielle Heath, 

owner of Petticoat Lane 

Costume Hire, has recently 

seen a change for the good 

within her industry. 

She said that over the last 

two years she had noticed 

a significant shift back to 

people wanting to hire 

costumes as opposed to 

purchasing them. 

“Young people have a 

big consciousness around 

sustainability,” Mrs Heath 

said. 

“People, in general, are 

mindful about what they 

purchase.” 

The trend to buy costumes 

online has not impacted 

the business as she 

said people still enjoy coming 

in to try on costumes 

and receive personalised 

fittings and accessories. 

For most people, hiring 

YOUTHS HAVE received 

grants from the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board. 

It approved a grant of 

$1050 to the Gordon Scout 

Group for Melissa Coker, 

Alex Short, Mason Lory, 

Tacota Joines, Matthew 

Mccomish, Alex Mennie 

and Thomas James to 

attend the New Zealand 

Venturer Jamboree in 

Kaiwaka from December 

a costume is both costeffective, 

practical, and has 

an ethical value. 

Creating a sustainable 

business practice has always 

been part of her business 

model. Costumes are 

designed in-house, fabric 

sourced locally, and made 

either in the company’s 

studio or contracted out to 

local sewers. 

With over 14,000 hire 

items available, Mrs Heath 

said that the most popular 

of all time was the Scoobie 

Doo costume. 

Costumes were regularly 

hired out for birthdays, 

parties, corporate events, 

advertising and television, 

work conferences, 

children’s school dress-up 

days, and NCEA students 

studying history and 

drama. 

“As a destination store, 

we have one-of-a-kind costumes, 

and are constantly 

31 to January 11. 

The Venturer Jamboree 

is only held once every 

three years, so most venturers 

get just one opportunity 

to attend. 

The board also granted 

$500 to Holly Wratt- 

Groeneweg towards 

competing at the 

Amsterdam international 

Quadrangular under-18 

girls sevens tournament, 

from September 29 to 

adding to and renewing 

our stock.’’ 

About to celebrate 15 

years in business in the 

Papanui store, Mrs Heath 

said Canterbury has a 

strong community of people 

who love to dress-up 

and shop locally. 

“They do it naturally and 

consciously choose to shop 

local,’’ she said. 

As a business owner, she 

said she is grateful to the 

local customer base and 

especially during those 

months that followed the 

earthquakes. 

“They kept the smaller 

businesses going during 

those hard times.’’

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

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.” 

After advocating strongly for 

our residents for the three laning 

of the Waimakariri Bridge and 

a cycle lane with my petition to 

NZTA last year, it’s exciting to 

see construction is underway. 

This project shows how powerful 

our voices can be when we 

work together. My petition was 

about cementing the benefits of 

National’s major roading projects 

such as the Western Belfast 

Bypass, which has significantly 

shortened travel times. 

Our young people are 

submitting their applications to 

be my Youth MP 2019 and, once 

again, I am impressed by their 

calibre. 

The deadline is Monday 8 

October at 5pm. It’s a great 

opportunity for our young people 

to put their passion for social 

issues into action. 

Ahead of the last Youth 

Parliament, my Youth MP and 

I held roadshows around the 

electorate to hear the views of 

our young people. If you are 

interested, please ring my office 

on 03 3270514 for details. 

I am working with Northwood 

residents to have their concerns 

heard by NZTA about the Main 

North Road/Radcliffe Road 

intersection. They’re concerned 

pedestrians don’t have sufficient 

time to cross safely, and that 

some motorists are doing illegal 

u-turns, which is increasing the 

dangers. After meeting with 

residents, I’ve written to NZTA 

requesting a meeting to explore 

solutions such as changing the 

signal phasing of the traffic lights. 

It was an easy decision for 

me to get behind the YMCA 

Canterbury Youth Awards again 

this year to acknowledge how 

much our young people are 

giving back to their communities. 

Well done to Thomas Robson 

for winning the Matt Doocey 

Supreme Youth Award for 

Waimakariri for your dedication in 

serving our community.

Too many St Andrew’s for Papanui 

Papanui Heritage 

group chairman Murray 

Williams investigates how 

Hartley Ave was named 

THE AREA of south Papanui, 

between Normans and Blighs 

Rds was originally Rural Section 

135. 

Eventually this became known 

as the Strowan block because of 

its proximity to George Gatonby 

Stead’s property of that name, 

which became St Andrew’s College 

in 1916. 

At this stage much of RS 135 

had already been developed as 

a residential area, for example, 

Watford St in the 1890s and 

Hawthorne St in the previous 

decade. 

Leonard Hart, (the subject 

of last month’s column) in association 

with H. Davey, had 

acquired land that ran from the 

western end of Hawthorne St as 

far as Normans Rd. In 1924, they 

decided to develop this area into 

a residential street. 

In The Press of March 3, 1924, 

their joint agents, Jones, Mc- 

Crostie and Co. and Pyne, Gould 

& Guinness, announced an 

auction for the building sections 

in the new street to be called St 

Andrews Tce. 

The lots ranged in size from 

530 to 960 m 2 . The agents noted 

the ideal location; the proximity 

of schools (St Andrew’s and 

Waimairi) while Elmwood Park 

and handy tram stops were also 

mentioned. 

The tendency of real estate 

agents to indulge in hyperbole 

was certainly alive and well in 

the 1920s. 

Potential buyers were assured 

that all sections ‘were as level as 

a bowling green’, that ‘the garden 

soil was of the finest and would 

grow anything’, and that the new 

owners would ‘get all the sun that 

shines’. 

A final statement in smaller 

print claimed that ‘High pressure 

water supply is a certain distance 

up St Andrews Tce.’ 

By 1938, the existence of St 

Andrews Tce, College Avenue 

and St Andrews Square, all in a 

relatively small area close to St 

Andrew’s College, was leading 

to confusion and the city council 

decided to rename the former to 

commemorate the contribution 

that Leonard Hart had made to 

Papanui. 

However the city already had 

a Hart St (in Woolston) and thus 

a compromise was to change 

the name of St Andrews Tce to

Hartley Ave. 

Ninety-six years later this street 

is a pleasant residential area. 

Although there are some 

examples of modern houses, 

Hartley Ave also retains a period 

charm; there are at least 19 examples 

of Californian bungalows 

dating to the development of the 

street in the 1920s and a smattering 

of elegant English bungalows 

constructed in the 1930s.

SPORTS 

Rapid rowing rise 

for talented teen 

• By Jacob Page 

FORMER ST Andrew’s College rower 

Ben Taylor is achieving his goals so 

quickly he’s having to create new ones. 

The 18-year-old, who 

rows for Avon, 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 men’s 

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 the shield was 

when his father, Andrew, was in the boat 

34 years ago. 

Ben Taylor 

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 singlesculler 

and fellow former 

St Andrew’s College rower, 

Robbie Manson. 

“Robbie has been super 

helpful,” he said. 

“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,” Taylor said. 

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.”

Heaps to learn in France 

CANTERBURY’S No 2 ranked 

tennis player Dylan Heap has 

returned from France where he 

polished his ground strokes with 

former world No 10 and French 

Davis Cup captain Arnaud 

Clement. 

The seven-week trip also gave 

the 18-year-old Waimairi player’s 

valuable match experience, 

playing in many prestigious 

open tournaments during the 

northern hemisphere summer. 

In all, he played 25 matches, 

winning 19, and winning three 

tournaments in the process - the 

Rogne, Auriol and Ventabren 

opens. 

Heap said his time with 

Clement was invaluable. 

“It was such a step-up on 

hitting balls in Christchurch 

and he was so humble,” he said. 

“He told me to make sure I keep 

my passion for the sport as I 

progress, even during the tough 

time.” 

Based in Aix-en-Provence and 

playing at the Country Club 

Aixois, he enjoyed the challenge 

of practising with Clement and 

playing many friendly matches 

with a multitude of strong 

up-and-coming French tennis 

players aged between 16 and 

25-years-old. Heap, a year 13 

student at Christ’s College, loved 

the chance to play some great 

tennis and to beat many players 

EXPERIENCE: Dylan Heap (right) with Arnaud Clement, former world number 10, after a practice 

session in Aix-en-Provence. 

above his level. 

“I definitely benefited from the 

experience, which was awesome, 

and can’t wait to do it all again 

next July,” he said. 

Heap spent the first three 

weeks in France in the company 

of his parents, and the last 

three with his Waimairi club 

coach and fellow member of the 

premier team, Remi Feneon. 

Dylan was NZ national 

under-16 singles and doubles 

champion for the last two 

seasons. 

He will play premier grade for 

Waimairi again this summer. 

Before the New Zealand 

season gets underway, Heap will 

visit the United States to look 

at universities offering sports 

scholarships. He hopes that next 

year will see him studying and 

playing tennis there.

nationals 

CHRISTCHURCH will play 

host to the indoor cricket club 

nationals on Thursday. 

It is the first time Christchurch 

has held the tournament since 

2008 and a record 40 teams have 

entered across the grades. 

The open men’s and under-21 

boy’s grades will be played at the 

refurbished Howzat Riccarton 

site, while the premier men’s and 

over-40 men’s will be played at 

Action Indoor Sports Hornby. 

Indoor Cricket New Zealand 

chief executive Mark Cini said it 

was a thrill for Christchurch to 

host the tournament again. 

He said the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake had made hosting 

events challenging and he saw it 

as a positive step. 

There will also be a Gold Coast 

team in the over-40 competition 

for a bit of a trans-Tasman flavour. 

There are Christchurch teams 

throughout all the grades. 

Games start on Thursday morning 

and run late into the night 

with finals days on Saturday.

Knitting keeps babies warm 

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

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.

swimming pool Heat pumps 

Pool Land have been proudly importing and selling Swimming Pool 

Heat Pumps for the last 15 years. 

We are proud to offer the Aqua-inverter HP – the most silent heat 

pump ever. By adjusting compressor speed hertz by hertz, and fan 

speed round by round, it matches pool temperature intelligently 

with continuous & optimal efficiency. Due to the low-speed-running 

philosophy, it brings you a 10 times quieter swimming experience 

during more than 95% of the pool season. 

For the best advice regarding which heat pump would be best for 

you, give Pool Land a call to discuss your swimming pool set up.
