Kid Fishing day at The Groynes, which<br />
is set to go ahead this year as planned.<br />
the event was at risk of being<br />

“Weed control has been completed<br />

that we will need to do some<br />
necessary follow up later in the<br />
year,” city council head ranger<br />

Consent<br />
gained<br />
to build<br />
supermarket<br />
at busy<br />
intersection<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
RESOURCE CONSENT has been<br />
granted for a Pak’nSave to be built<br />
near the intersection of Main<br />
North and Northcote Rds.<br />
Building is expected to start at<br />
171 Main North Rd in the next<br />
few months, and will take up to<br />
12-18 months to complete.<br />
The proposed Northcote Entertainment<br />
Sports Terminal was<br />
set to be built at the site but the<br />
supermarket will go there instead.<br />
Foodstuffs head of external relations<br />
Antoinette Laird said the<br />
site was chosen because Papanui<br />
is an “up-and-coming” area.<br />
“The Main North Rd site will<br />
service a growing and exciting<br />
community,” she said.<br />
“We’re pretty sure the new<br />
Pak’nSave will be a real asset to<br />
the community.”<br />
A Pak’nSave branded petrol<br />
station will also be built on the<br />
site.<br />
Said Ms Laird: “There are many<br />
factors to take into account when<br />
developing a project of this scale.<br />
With every new store we look<br />
to incorporate features which<br />
celebrate the area in terms of look<br />
and feel.”<br />

A TOP job by Bernadine Worsdale to<br />
probably save a chap’s life (see page 8).<br />
Bernadine battled unbearable heat to<br />
alert her dozing neighbour that his house<br />
was on fire.<br />
People react differently in times of crisis or emergency. Some<br />
will freeze; others will react like Bernadine did. It all depends<br />
on how we are wired.<br />
So for Bernadine’s neighbour, he is very lucky she was wired<br />
to act. In spite of the heat, she prised open a window and yelled<br />
at him.<br />
“I think he was sleeping, if I hadn’t of known his name, he<br />
may have not woken up and responded . . . it was so intense, I<br />
hate fire, the heat was unbearable.”<br />
Good stuff Bernadine.<br />

Designed as part of a small community of townhouses for the over sixties,<br />
and located in a quiet family oriented cul-de-sac in the new part of Halswell, this is<br />
an opportunity to live fully independently within a safe and peaceful environment<br />
amongst like-minded people. Neatly tended gardens, peaceful surrounds and a<br />
spirit of friendly support are the norm here and if coffee, tea or something a bit<br />
stronger are on offer there’s always a friend nearby who’ll join you.<br />
North facing for all day sun, the open plan living, dining and kitchen areas are<br />
spacious and warm, with a centrally located heat pump for year round, economical<br />
comfort. A ranch slider from the living room opens to a paved outdoor area and<br />
the front garden. The generously sized kitchen is bright and modern with<br />
engineered stone bench tops, white joinery and tiled floors. Stainless steel<br />
appliances and a metallic splashback finish the timeless and elegant look.<br />
There are two double bedrooms,<br />
a large and very stylish bathroom<br />
and a separate guest toilet.<br />
Internal access from the single<br />
garage adds convenience and<br />
security, and there is off street<br />
parking for a second car.<br />
Let’s face it when you hit your<br />
stylish sixties and beyond, you’ve<br />
earned a bit of five star luxury so<br />
go ahead and enjoy it!<br />

Problem trees in dispute<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
HAREWOOD RESIDENTS are<br />
struggling with troublesome oak<br />
trees while the city council is<br />
unsure whose responsibility it is<br />
to pay for their removal.<br />
Graeme and Diane Barber have<br />
lived in their Cam Pl home since<br />
1983 – but<br />
shortly after<br />
they moved in,<br />
six oak trees<br />
were planted<br />
in Pasadena<br />
Reserve, which<br />
have now<br />
grown to 16m<br />
Sam<br />
MacDonald<br />
and block their<br />
sun.<br />
In the<br />
original plans, a road was<br />
supposed to run through the<br />
reserve and this led to confusion<br />
over whether the oaks are<br />
deemed street trees or reserve<br />
trees.<br />
If they are reserve trees, the<br />
city council would be responsible<br />
for the cost of removing them,<br />
but if they are street trees it<br />
would be up to residents to pay.<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
chairman Sam MacDonald said<br />
the board has requested city<br />
council staff investigate the issue.<br />
“Normally these things can<br />
TOWERING TREES: Harewood resident Graeme Barber is fed<br />
up with the 16m oak trees near his home dropping debris and<br />
shading his property.<br />
be turned around in a week, but<br />
because of the technical nature<br />
of this, I just wanted to paint the<br />
full picture, so it’ll take about six<br />
weeks.”<br />
“It’s on a bit of disputed land,<br />
and we’re just trying to get some<br />
clarity around what the process<br />
is and how we manage that,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Barber said he has battled<br />
the city council over the trees for<br />
the last decade.<br />
“They’re in the wrong place<br />
and have grown too large. Why<br />
do the needs and well-being of<br />
people overshadow the needs of a<br />
healthy tree?”<br />
He said the trees could grow<br />
up to 24m – the equivalent of an<br />
eight-story building.<br />
“They wouldn’t build<br />
something that tall next to<br />
people’s houses, so why are they<br />
allowing the trees to be there?”<br />
he said.<br />
He said arborists occasionally<br />
pruned the trees, but it wasn’t<br />
enough.<br />
“Their maintenance cycle is a<br />
lot less than what is needed here.<br />
If you complain, you see a flurry<br />
of activity and then it stops,” he<br />
said.<br />
“They’re the wrong trees in<br />
the wrong place, and they can’t<br />
be fixed unless you take them<br />
down.”<br />
A similar problem has also<br />
arisen in Upper Riccarton. The<br />
residents of Villa Grove wanted<br />
the city council to remove 22 oak<br />
trees, which were 24-years-old<br />
and ranged between 8.1-15.8m<br />
high.<br />
However, the Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />
Board declined to go ahead with<br />
residents’ request to have the<br />
trees removed, and resolved to<br />
continue with maintenance.<br />

In Brief<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
BELFAST BRIDGE<br />
One-lane traffic has opened on<br />
the new Belfast Rd bridge. Road<br />
users were able to use the bridge<br />
for first time yesterday, and the<br />
Christchurch Northern Corridor<br />
Alliance team expect to have<br />
both lanes open on November 3.<br />
The remaining work is weather<br />
dependent, and a 30km/h speed<br />
limit will remain in place until the<br />
bridge has been completed.<br />
PLUNKET ROOM WORK<br />
Work has re-started on the<br />
Redwood Plunket rooms, which<br />
are being repaired following<br />
earthquake damage. Significant<br />
cracking on the walls and ceiling<br />
will be fixed before the building<br />
is opened again. The project<br />
is expected to be completed<br />
this month but was originally<br />
scheduled to be finished in June. It<br />
was delayed due to the discovery<br />
of black mould, which increased<br />
the cost of the project by $25,000.<br />
SPEED LIMIT STAYS<br />
The speed limit in the Prestons<br />
subdivision will remain at<br />
50km/h. The Coastal- Burwood<br />
and Papanui-Innes community<br />
boards voted not to lower the<br />
speed limit to 40km/h after<br />
the city council identified<br />
that reducing the limit was<br />
appropriate. The existing school<br />
speed zones will remain in place.<br />

Bringing outer-space to the central city<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
HANNAH BEEHRE has brought<br />
outer-space to the central city.<br />
As part of SCAPE Public Art’s<br />
20th-anniversary season, Beehre’s<br />
display Tunnel hopes to captivate<br />
viewers for the next six weeks.<br />
Nestled deep inside the Canterbury<br />
Museum, the display creates<br />
a walk-through rendering of a<br />
nebula – clouds of gas and dust<br />
from outer space, visible in the<br />
night sky.<br />
It will form the entrance to the<br />
exhibition Wildlife Photographer<br />
of the Year and is expected<br />
to bring 60,000 visitors over the<br />
exhibition period.<br />
It is constructed from dyed silk<br />
velvet with Swarovski crystals,<br />
LED lights and mirrored flooring.<br />
The 41-year-old artist moved<br />
to Christchurch from Auckland<br />
in 1998 to study at Canterbury<br />
University’s School of Fine Arts.<br />
She completed her degree in<br />
2000 but has now returned to<br />
complete a masters degree in<br />
painting.<br />
Beehre says her five-year-old<br />
daughter, Parker, is her biggest<br />
fan.<br />
“She’s really excited about it, she<br />
asked me if we could go through<br />
it holding hands. I feel like I am<br />
making the work for her as well.<br />
So I am excited to see her reaction.<br />
She’s my biggest fan, she’s<br />
really sweet. Sometimes she will<br />
point out: ‘Oh that bit is not right’.’’<br />
Last Friday marked the opening<br />
of SCAPE’s 20th-anniversary season,<br />
the display will be on show<br />
for six weeks.<br />
The trust has installed 216 temporary<br />
artworks and 14 permanent<br />
artworks in the city, since its<br />
formation in 1998.<br />
Some of the most notable works<br />
include Nucleus by Phil Price on<br />
the corners of Manchester, High<br />
and Lichfield streets, Fanfare by<br />
Neil Dawson at Chaneys Corner<br />
and Passing Time by Anton Parsons<br />
on Madras St.<br />
Notable artworks for this season<br />
OUT OF THIS WORLD:<br />
Hannah Beehre with<br />
her art installation<br />
Galaxy of Magic at the<br />
museum.<br />
include a 5.5.m bronze sculpture<br />
Mixed Feelings by British artist<br />
Tony Cragg at Christ’s College,<br />
Kotuku by Sydney artist Caroline<br />
Rothwell in the Botanic Gardens,<br />
also known as the white heron,<br />
and Three Squares Gyratory Variation<br />
2 by American artist George<br />
Rickey, near the Art’s Centre.<br />
ON DISPLAY: Two more<br />
sculptures, Mixed Feelings<br />
and Kotuku which can<br />
be seen during SCAPE’s<br />
exhibition, which runs for six<br />
weeks.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

and Emily O’Connell<br />
TECH-SAVVY businesswoman<br />
Lynda Coppersmith has become<br />
the first female chief executive of<br />
Templeton-based New Zealand<br />
Young Farmers.<br />
Ms Coppersmith, 48, took up<br />
the position on <strong>October</strong> 1 and<br />
said her first week was “very<br />
busy.”<br />
“I’ve been learning a lot – I’m<br />
at brain-saturation point I think,<br />
but it’s been great to talk to<br />
everybody and understand the<br />
business.”<br />
Ms Coppersmith said she<br />
had been out of the primary<br />
industries for more than six<br />
years, and was pleased to be<br />
back.<br />
“I really enjoyed my time<br />
when I worked in the industry.<br />
It’s something that’s in your<br />
blood, and you get quite passionate<br />
about it,” she said.<br />
“Having grown a few leadership<br />
skills in the meantime, I<br />
thought this looked like a great<br />
opportunity to get back into the<br />
industry.”<br />
She said she was “chuffed” to<br />
be the first woman to hold the<br />
chief executive position at NZ<br />
Young Farmers.<br />
“I think every time we see<br />
more diversity and women<br />
getting more senior roles in organisations,<br />
it’s a win. It brings a<br />
different perspective to what we<br />
do, and I think that’s great.”<br />
She was looking forward to<br />
visiting clubs and drumming<br />
up interest in farming for young<br />
people.<br />
“I’m keen to understand<br />
who young farmers are, what’s<br />
important to them, what they’re<br />
worried about, what they’re<br />
excited about and that kind of<br />
thing,” she said.<br />
“I think that’s a really important<br />
role that we play, and I can<br />
see there are opportunities to<br />
grow that further, to look at filling<br />
that gap and meet the target<br />
of getting an extra 50,000 people<br />
into the industry.”<br />

intersection,<br />
or to introduce<br />
a signalised<br />
crossing to<br />
Aaron Keown<br />
Harewood Rd<br />
and reduce it to<br />
one lane.<br />
Cr Keown has been campaigning<br />
to have lights installed at the<br />
Breens, Harewood and Gardiners<br />
Rds intersection for two-anda-half<br />
years.<br />
“It goes out for consultation<br />
now, but the preferred option for<br />
council is cutting off Harewood<br />
Rd – they’re basically just going<br />
to try and talk people out of<br />
choosing the traffic lights.”<br />
He said he felt confident that<br />
the majority of submissions<br />
would be in favour of the traffic<br />
lights, but he expected the<br />
city council to try and slow the<br />
process.<br />
“The problem is it won’t just<br />
go to the community board and<br />
then to council, as is the normal<br />
process. It will also have to go<br />
to the Infrastructure, Transport<br />
and Environment Committee.<br />
It’s just another chance for the<br />
council to block it.”<br />
While the majority of city<br />
councillors voted for the proposal,<br />
Cr Keown said he was<br />
“disappointed” that councillors<br />
Tim Scandrett, Pauline Cotter<br />
and Phil Clearwater were against<br />
it.<br />
“That’s how dirty politics operates,<br />
sometimes you just can’t get<br />
wins with certain people.”<br />
He said the opposed councillors<br />
focused on the lack of available<br />
funding for traffic lights, but<br />
he was sure the money could be<br />
found in the Annual Plan.<br />
“I think people will come forward<br />
and say ‘don’t spend money<br />
on stupid statues or a park or a<br />
swimming pool, we want it spent<br />
on traffic lights’,” he said.<br />
“To be honest, with the cost<br />
of the council blocking this<br />
project we would have probably<br />
already paid for the traffic lights.<br />
Christchurch ratepayers are being<br />
ripped off by staff tactics and<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community<br />
Board chairman Sam<br />
MacDonald said he hoped the<br />
city council would listen to what<br />
the public wanted.<br />
“The council now have bought<br />
into the process of letting the<br />
public tell them what they want<br />
at this intersection, so for them<br />
at the end of this to block it<br />
would be completely unacceptable,”<br />
he said.<br />
“From the meeting on<br />
Thursday there’s a green light<br />
that this intersection is going to<br />
be fixed.”<br />

Trees trimmed at<br />
Ronald McDonald House<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
SCRUFFY TREES surrounding<br />
the city’s Ronald McDonald<br />
House have been tidied up.<br />
Beaver Tree Service Ltd<br />
donated their time and skills<br />
recently to help trim trees, along<br />
with removing deadwood and<br />
hazardous branches from around<br />
the building.<br />
The company brought smiles<br />
to children at the house with lead<br />
arborist David McKeich climbing<br />
the trees in a beaver suit.<br />
Office manager Belinda Henderson<br />
said it decided to do the<br />
work free of charge after Ronald<br />
McDonald phoned up asking for<br />
a quote to have their trees tidied.<br />
“It means it doesn’t come out of<br />
their budget, they can use it for<br />
something else,” she said.<br />
Beaver also supports social<br />
enterprise and non-profit organisation<br />
B1G1 which helps feed impoverished<br />
children throughout<br />
New Zealand.<br />
In about 2013 the company<br />
sponsored a room at Ronald Mc-<br />

Feedback sought<br />
on club expansion<br />
FEEDBACK IS being sought on<br />
a proposal to make changes to<br />
the Canterbury Regional Policy<br />
Statement and Christchurch<br />
District Plan to allow further<br />
development at the Christchurch<br />
Football Centre site in Yaldhurst.<br />
The proposal has been prepared<br />
by the city council and seeks<br />
to use section 71 of the Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration Act to<br />
make the planning changes needed<br />
in order for Canterbury Sports<br />
Ltd, which owns the football<br />
centre, to expand its operation.<br />
CSL wants to add a gymnastics<br />
centre, an indoor sports stadium<br />
with multiple courts for sports<br />
such as netball, basketball and futsal,<br />
a swimming pool with diving<br />
and triathlon facilities and outdoor<br />
fields or courts for sports such as<br />
athletics, hockey, tennis and rugby.<br />
These facilities are defined as<br />
‘urban activity’ in the CRPS, as<br />
they predominantly serve the<br />
urban population.<br />
However, the site is just outside<br />
the urban boundary in the CRPS.<br />
This means certain policy and<br />
land zoning changes to the CRPS<br />
and CDP are necessary to enable<br />
the proposed developments to<br />
happen. Using section 71 would<br />
enable these changes to be made<br />
in a single process.<br />

65-year-old pulled out of burning home<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
A SYDENHAM woman has<br />
spoken about how she battled<br />
“unbearable heat” when pulling<br />
a 65-year-old neighbour from his<br />
burning home.<br />
It was just after 9am on<br />
September 29 when Bernadine<br />
Worsdale looked out of her<br />
window to<br />
see smoke<br />
billowing from<br />
the property<br />
next door. She<br />
sprinted<br />
outside in her<br />
pyjamas and<br />
Bernadine<br />
Worsdale<br />
saw another<br />
neighbour<br />
running towards<br />
her, who<br />
phoned 111.<br />
“I was focusing on my neighbour<br />
and thinking get him out,”<br />
said Mrs Worsdale.<br />
Mrs Worsdale ran to the front<br />
window of the burning house on<br />
Scott St.<br />
She pulled it ajar before yelling<br />
for her neighbour, who she didn’t<br />
wish to name.<br />
“I think he was sleeping, if I<br />
hadn’t of known his name, he<br />
may have not woken up and<br />
responded . . . it was so intense,<br />
I hate fire, the heat was unbearable.”<br />
He appeared a bit “dazed and<br />
confused,” said Mrs Worsdale<br />
who then helped to pull him out<br />
of the window.<br />
“I tried to get him to jump but<br />
he couldn’t. I pulled him from<br />
under the armpits and dragged<br />
him out of the window.”<br />
Fire investigator Wayne<br />
Hamilton said the fire had been<br />
caused by unattended cooking<br />
while the man was in his<br />

CLOSE CALL: Sydenham resident Bernadine Worsdale rescued her 65-year-old neighbour<br />
from his burning home.<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
sunroom.<br />
The house did not have working<br />
smoke alarms.<br />
The fire continued to burn for<br />
more than an hour.<br />
Mrs Worsdale said she was<br />
driven by adrenaline to help her<br />
neighbour, who thanked her<br />
profusely.<br />
“It all happened so fast. I am<br />
just so grateful and so pleased<br />
he’s alive . . . I gave him some water,<br />
a blanket and a hug. He was<br />
very confused and shaken up.”<br />
Mr Hamilton said the incident<br />
acts as a timely reminder that<br />
all homes should have working<br />

Parade funding questioned<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
WHY THE city’s events agency<br />
is not helping fund the Santa<br />
Parade has been questioned by a<br />
city councillor.<br />
The event isn’t considered<br />
major enough for<br />
ChristchurchNZ to be involved.<br />
It comes as<br />
an additional<br />
$20,000 of<br />
funding to<br />
go towards<br />
the parade’s<br />
rent, rates and<br />
insurance was<br />
approved at the<br />
Loren<br />
Heaphy<br />
city council<br />
meeting on<br />
Thursday.<br />
It is the second time the city<br />
council has given funding to the<br />
parade this financial year – the<br />
first time $65,000 was granted.<br />
However, city councillor Yani<br />
Johanson questioned why it was<br />
footing the bill without input<br />
from ChristchurchNZ.<br />
Last year, the city council’s<br />
events unit was merged with<br />
Christchurch and Canterbury<br />
Tourism and Canterbury Development<br />
Corporation to create<br />
the tourism, events and economic<br />
development agency ChristchurchNZ.<br />
“I just wondered if we’ve actually<br />
approached ChristchurchNZ<br />
which is very keen on attracting<br />
sponsorship to events and are<br />
they providing support? They’ve<br />
got a lot of funding now,” Cr<br />
Johanson said.<br />
City council chief executive<br />
Karleen Edwards said granting<br />
funding was up to the city<br />
council.<br />
“This is more of a community<br />
event, rather than a major<br />
event,” Dr Edwards said.<br />
“We’ve asked ChristchurchNZ<br />
to focus on major events in their<br />
statement of intent and this is<br />
not a major event so it falls with<br />
council.”<br />
City council manager events<br />
and arts Karena Finnie said that<br />
falls in line with the new events<br />
policy framework and major<br />
events strategy.<br />
“The Santa Parade is classified<br />
as a regional event which is the<br />
responsibility of Christchurch<br />
City Council,” she said.<br />
Cr Johanson said: “So cricket<br />
POPULAR:<br />
The annual<br />
Christchurch<br />
Santa Parade<br />
draws in<br />
around<br />
100,000<br />
people.<br />
playing rugby guys with about<br />
10,000 people, if they’re lucky,<br />
is in the mandate but this isn’t,<br />
with about 100,000 people. That<br />
seems very odd.”<br />
ChristchurchNZ general manager<br />
destination Loren Heaphy<br />
and attraction said it has not been<br />
approached to support the Santa<br />
Parade.<br />
“If we were approached, we<br />
would consider it alongside all<br />
other events that are looking for<br />
support.”<br />

HEARING HELP IN HORNBY<br />
How is your hearing?<br />
In New Zealand, one in six people have some degree of hearing difficulty.<br />
Over the age of 60, more than half the population are living with a<br />
significant hearing reduction. This invisible condition can be incredibly<br />
frustrating, as conversation on a one to one basis can be no problem, but<br />
social situations become very uncomfortable indeed. Background noise<br />
can make conversation almost impossible to follow causing some<br />
sufferers to remove themselves from the conversation, or even avoid<br />
going to the social function completely.<br />
Other early signs of hearing difficulty are a creeping up of the volume<br />
control on the TV, frequently asking family and friends to repeat<br />
themselves, or accusing people of mumbling when they speak. With<br />
hearing loss recently being linked to the early onset of Dementia in studies<br />
throughout the world, these early signs are not to be ignored.<br />
Hear Again have extensive experience of helping people overcome their<br />
hearing difficulties. From a simple check to see if your ears are blocked<br />
with wax, to the provision and fine tuning of the very latest hearing devices<br />
from the worlds leading hearing aid manufacturers, the friendly team are<br />
here to help, even if you need to be seen on a weekend.<br />
Neil Hardisty, NZAS Audiometrist, has been expertly overcoming hearing<br />
difficulties for residents of Christchurch since 20<strong>09</strong>. Neil is frequently<br />
praised for his limitless patience, wonderful caring nature and ability to<br />
solve problems which other clinicians have deemed impossible. Neil is<br />
never satisfied until you are. His expertise, coupled with Customer<br />
Service Advisors Christine and Louise with their welcoming, friendly<br />
nature, and the very latest technology make for a winning combination.<br />
Hear Again offer FREE no obligation initial hearing assessments. If you,<br />
or any of your loved ones have noticed any difficulties with your hearing,<br />
this can be quickly and painlessly checked for you at The Hub, 418 Main<br />
South Road, Hornby. If you already have hearing aids from any<br />
manufacturer, we will give them a FREE clean and check to ensure they<br />
are in tip top condition. Call 03 974 1658 to book your free check.<br />
We look forward to delighting you with our service and help you, or your<br />
loved ones make the most of your hearing and to rejoin the conversation.<br />

Now<br />
Age is no barrier to city cycling<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
EACH DAY in Christchurch<br />
thousands of people use bicycles<br />
for their commute, for fitness,<br />
or just for fun. An increasing<br />
number of those people are of<br />
advancing years.<br />
St Albans retiree Jean Bell<br />
returned to cycling last year after<br />
a long period without a bike. “I<br />
was encouraged to try an e-bike,<br />
and I was soon hooked on it,”<br />
she said.<br />
“It’s just so handy,” Jean explained.<br />
“I’m surprised by how far I can<br />
cycle when in the car the same<br />
distance feels like a long way.’’<br />
Visiting friends, attending<br />
meetings, hairdresser and doctor<br />
appointments – Jean travels to<br />
them all by bike.<br />
“It’s much easier to park my<br />
bike than park the car,” she said.<br />
“Now, driving with just one<br />
person in my car feels decadent;<br />
a bit naughty.”<br />
The city’s geography<br />
lends itself to getting around by<br />
bike.<br />
“Unlike Wellington or Auckland,<br />
in Christchurch you have<br />
a choice – cycle on the flat or<br />
test yourself on the Port Hills,”<br />
explains Julie Milne, who recently<br />
cycled the length of New<br />
Zealand to raise awareness of<br />
stroke sufferers.<br />
Julie rides to work year-round<br />
on her modified bicycle; two<br />
childhood strokes left her with<br />
restricted arm movement.<br />
“Cycling is my physical upkeep,”<br />
she said.<br />
“It improves my quality of getting<br />
older. If I don’t bike, I seize<br />
up, which then means I can’t<br />
bike. So, I keep biking.”<br />
Julie will be sharing her experiences<br />
at the NZ Bike Expo<br />
(Saturday and Sunday).<br />
This cornerstone event of<br />
the Biketober festival is where<br />
cyclists of all ages can gather to<br />
celebrate the cycle.<br />
“The expo brings the cycling<br />
industry and the Christchurch<br />
community together,” said event<br />
organiser Krissy O’Connor.<br />
“It places cycling events, test<br />
rides, and community groups<br />
alongside commercial exhibitors.<br />
It’s a very hands-on weekend of<br />
everything bike-related.”<br />
For Christchurch residents<br />
who perhaps haven’t explored<br />
much of the new-look central<br />
city, Saturday’s Pedal into Spring<br />
extravaganza of Biketober offers<br />
twelve themed, self-guided rides<br />
to choose from. Cafés, shops,<br />
playgrounds, art, a family treasure<br />
hunt – there’s a route for all ages.<br />
“If you haven’t been on a bike<br />
for a while,” says Julie Milne,<br />
“start on a cycleway and go from<br />
there. You’re safe. Cycling is<br />
lovely.”<br />

YOUNG RUGBY fans got the<br />
chance to meet some Canterbury<br />
rugby players.<br />
Chris King, Phil Burleigh<br />
and Hamish Dalzell met and<br />
practiced with the pupils from<br />
Harewood School.<br />
The players greeted the pupils<br />
for a chat and answered their<br />
questions before putting them<br />
through some training drills and<br />
having a game. Burleigh said it<br />
was nice to spend time with the<br />
young fans.<br />
“It was great to meet the<br />
next generation of enthusiastic<br />
young rugby players, to run<br />
through some skills training<br />
with them, and answer questions<br />
they have about what we do,”<br />
Burleigh said.<br />
“This group was really engaged<br />
and keen to learn, so we enjoyed<br />
taking the time out to connect<br />
with them. I hope the knowledge<br />
we passed<br />
on will help them get the<br />
most out of their rugby in the<br />
future.”<br />
The players put the boys<br />
through some training drills,<br />
finishing with a mock game in<br />
which three boys were each put<br />
into a team with a Canterbury<br />

Big challenge for Villa at nationals<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
VILLA MARIA College aims to<br />
prove South Island schools can<br />
match it with their North Island<br />
counterparts at the national<br />
secondary schools’ netball<br />
competition.<br />
Villa won the South Island<br />
title for the first time in 10 years<br />
last month but will face a sterner<br />
test at the national competition<br />
which starts today in Timaru<br />
and finishes on Friday.<br />
The team will face Wellington<br />
East Girls’ College, Mount<br />
Albert Grammar and St Hilda’s<br />
Collegiate in pool play.<br />
Coach Helen Mahon-Stroud<br />
said the team is capable of<br />
matching it with any opposition.<br />
“We want the girls to focus on<br />
their performance and not be<br />
overawed by what they come up<br />
against,” she said.<br />
The team has had two training<br />
games against Christchurch<br />
Girls’ High over the past<br />
SPORTS<br />
fortnight. “Obviously, with the<br />
club season being over, we’ve had<br />
to find ways to keep ourselves<br />
mentally stimulated since the<br />
season has gone longer.”<br />
Mahon-Stroud said she<br />
believes her team will have to<br />
adjust to the size and physicality<br />
of the North Island school teams.<br />
Shooter Hannah Glen, midcourter<br />
Georgia Stroud and<br />
defender Olivia Burnham form<br />
the experienced core of the team<br />
and were all named in the South<br />
Island tournament team.<br />
She said the team has been<br />
playing against “seasoned adult<br />
club players” throughout the year<br />
as preparation.<br />
“I think if the team can focus<br />
on their goals and what they<br />
want to achieve, the results will<br />
be favourable,” she said.<br />
“Obviously, this will be a<br />
massive step up for the girls, but<br />
with four of the team leaving and<br />
looking to continue their netball<br />
at a higher level next year, and<br />
for our year 12s, I have no doubt<br />
they all will be better players for<br />
this experience.”<br />

Hannah Glen has been a<br />
stand-out for the team this<br />
year.<br />
CBHS claim<br />
team time trial<br />
at NZ champs<br />
VICTORY: The CBHS under-20 road cycling team won their national time trial at Loburn.<br />
PHOTO: CYCLING NEW ZEALAND<br />
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High<br />
upset their rivals to claim the<br />
prestigious Sir Bernard Fegusson<br />
Trophy at the New Zealand<br />
road cycling championships last<br />
week.<br />
The CBHS team won the<br />
trophy by taking out the<br />
under-20 national time trial at<br />
Loburn.<br />
The 51st edition of the<br />
championships drew 601 riders<br />
from 100 schools over the threeday<br />
competition.<br />
As well as the team time<br />
trial, it included road and points<br />
races.<br />
It was the first time the event<br />
has been staged in the South<br />
Island.<br />
CBHS’s Laurence Pithie,<br />
Griffyn Spencer, Josh Rivett,<br />
Logan Currie and Guy Yarrell<br />
crossed the finish line 11sec<br />
ahead of Palmerston North Boys’<br />
High School, with defending<br />
champions Auckland Grammar<br />
School in third.<br />
CBHS teacher and team<br />
manager Gary McNaughton said<br />
the team were motivated to do<br />
well in their home region.<br />
“We went out and rode the<br />
course two weeks ago and felt<br />
confident we could do well. The<br />
guys have given it everything in<br />
their last few training sessions,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We have a few guys peaking<br />
as their final preparation<br />
before representing New<br />
Zealand at the Oceania track<br />
championships in Adelaide<br />
which start (tomorrow).”<br />
