Campbell to be axed 

over water comment 

Rumblings continue on community boards 

• By Julia Evans 

SPEAKING OUT over 

the city’s water issues will 

cost Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board deputy chairman 

Aaron Campbell his 

position. 

City council chief executive 

Karleen Edwards has notified 

Mr Campbell that the board filed 

a notice of motion to remove him 

from his role as deputy chairman. 

The motion will go to the board’s 

next meeting on Monday. 

He will remain as a member for the 

rest of the term but remains undecided 

if he will run again. 

It comes after tension from Mr 

Campbell’s call to introduce a liquor ban 

in Elmwood Park, which chairman Sam 

MacDonald said was not supported by the 

majority of the board. 

This time Mr Campbell questioned the 

city council’s membership of Water New 

Zealand. 

He questioned it during a board area report 

to city councillors. 

Mr Campbell and Mr MacDonald met 

with board governance manager Matt 

McLintock the next day. 

Mr Campbell was told it was not 

the right place to raise the issue without 

authority. 

Mr Campbell disagreed. 

The notice was signed by all board members 

including the three city councillors Aaron Keown, 

Raf Manji and Jamie Gough. 

“I’m disgusted and disappointed,” Mr Campbell 

said. 

He said he feels let down by his community 

board colleagues and should have had the chance 

to discuss personality issues. 

Mr MacDonald said he would not comment on 

the matter until after the meeting. 

However, Mr Campbell said the move is political 

censorship, an attack on free speech and preelection 

manoeuvring before local body elections 

next October. 

Mr MacDonald and Mr Campbell have different 

political leanings – Mr MacDonald is electorate 

chairman for Ilam National MP Gerry Brownlee 

and Mr Campbell was campaign secretary for 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel and Christchurch Central 

Labour MP Duncan Webb. 

Mr MacDonald (right) also 

ran for the board under the 

right-leaning Independent 

Citizens group, while 

Mr Campbell ran as an 

independent. 

“Central Government 

aligning should not come in at 

a local level,” Mr Campbell said. 

But Mr MacDonald said that is not the case. 

“For anyone to insinuate that this is political and 

not purely for the outcomes of our community is 

quite frankly offensive.” 

The move to sack Mr Campbell comes on top of 

other community board spats in the city. 

There have been clashes over the Denton 

Park decision between Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board members, which 

required intervention from an independent 

facilitator. Dr Edwards and Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

also attended one of the board’s meetings 

to discuss the decision-making process and 

relationships. 

More recently there has been friction between 

Papanui-Innes Community Board chairwoman 

Ali Jones and member John Stringer. An 

independent facilitator was also used.

IF EVER a guy deserved a helping hand 

it’s Grant Cowan (see page 5). 

Life has dealt him a terrible blow; two 

strokes at a still relatively young age. 

Now his mates have rallied to raise funds 

for a special bike for this once very good sportsman. 

I can vouch for Grant. My contact with him was in our 

basketball team, many years ago now, but I can still see him as 

an imposing figure under the basket. He was also a top bloke. 

Grant was also a top martial arts exponent, went onto cycling 

and as mentioned a natural basketballer. 

His fundraiser is a worthy cause. 

On another note, more rumblings on the city community 

boards (see page 1).

Fire rages, homes at risk 

St Andrew’s crossing approved 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

A SIGNALISED pedestrian 

crossing could be installed 

outside St Andrew’s College. 

Last week the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community 

Board approved the $285,000 

project, which would replace the 

island crossing on Papanui Rd. 

The proposal would be presented 

to the city council at an 

upcoming meeting. 

The issue was brought to the 

board after city council staff 

carried out a risk assessment for 

roads across the city and found 

the crossing to be a high priority 

for an upgrade. 

St Andrew’s 

College general 

manager 

David Evans 

said the existing 

crossing 

had been a 

safety concern 

Sam 

MacDonald 

for “a long 

time.” 

“It’s a really 

difficult road 

to cross because of the high volume 

of traffic,” he said. 

“We’ve had to put supervision 

in, in the morning and when 

school finishes to facilitate our 

APPROVED: The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board approved a proposal for a 

signalised pedestrian crossing on Papanui Rd, outside St Andrew’s College. 

students crossing the road in a 

safe way.” He said a signalised 

crossing was a great solution. 

“Rather than people trying to 

dodge through traffic and trying 

to find a gap, this will provide 

a safe crossing. It will probably 

take away a bit of angst from 

motorists as well.” 

Community board chairman 

Sam MacDonald said having the 

signalised crossing would be a 

good solution for both pedestrians 

and motorists. 

“The beauty is that the lights 

will not come on without people 

pressing the button. They’re not 

going to stop the traffic unless 

there’s actually someone there.” 

Pedestrian numbers peaked at 

90 per hour at 8am on weekdays, 

along with the average traffic 

peak of 1657 vehicles. 

Afternoon pedestrian numbers 

peaked at 110 per hour at 3pm, 

with the average traffic peak of 

1698 vehicles.

WAIMAIRI TREE PROBLEM 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

has requested city council staff 

look into removing a pin oak 

tree near a Waimairi resident’s 

property. Former Deputy 

Mayor Norm Withers made 

a deputation to the board on 

behalf of Lorraine Smith, whose 

property is being covered in 

debris from the tree. 

LIGHT FIXED AGAIN 

A traffic light pole on Sissons 

Drive, Papanui, has been repaired 

for the third time in a year. The 

city council repaired the pole 

and stuck a “dangerous” sticker 

to it after is was hit by a motorist 

last month. The city council will 

propose a curb extension at an 

upcoming meeting to address the 

issue.

• By Anan Zaki 

A KEEN cyclist and triathlete 

Grant Cowan enjoyed an active 

life. 

But the Papanui man’s world 

came crashing down 18 months 

ago, when he suffered two 

strokes. 

The former police officer and 

father of two teenagers lost the 

ability to speak, lost feeling in his 

right arm and right leg. 

Mr Cowan’s cycling hobby 

came to a halt. He now resides 

at St John of God care facility, in 

Halswell. 

Having lost touch with pedals, 

Mr Cowan’s family and friends 

took him to the New Zealand 

Bike Expo last week. 

It was there, that they saw an 

expression almost unseen for a 18 

months. 

Said his friend of 30 years 

Rodger Wyatt: “The look on his 

face, he was just absolutely humming.” 

“I didn’t know you could enjoy 

someone else’s joy so much,” he 

said. 

Mr Cowan, 52, tried a recumbent 

tricycle. The trike is able to 

be ridden while sitting down. 

“I was just wrapping my brain on 

how do we get this to happen and 

get some public support,” he said. 

Mr Wyatt gathered two of 

Mr Cowan’s closest friends and 

former cycling teammates, Jan 

Hales and Derrick Murray, to buy 

the trike. 

But the trike was $16,500. 

The trio quickly hatched a plan 

to raise money for Mr Cowan. 

They will race in the Blue Dog 

six-hour blast at McLeans Island 

on Saturday, a race that the team 

previously took part in with Mr 

Cowan. 

Mr Murray, who now lives in 

Sydney, will fly across the ditch to 

fundraise. 

“We’ve got a spot for Grant, 

he’s in the team but obviously he 

can’t race,” Mr Murray. 

“It seems like a very fitting way 

to get word out about our mate,” 

Mr Murray said. 

The race at McLeans Island 

brought back many memories, 

Mr Wyatt said. 

“We did a race together out at 

McLeans Island as a mixed team 

about four or five years ago. 

“Grant came off his bike and 

tore his leg open on his gear 

leaver. It was pretty ugly.” 

Mr Cowan was taken to hospital 

and the team finished second 

place. 

“We still bag Grant now about 

letting the team down,” Mr 

Wyatt said. 

Local 


Now 

Friends rally to get stroke victim back cycling 

ALL SMILES: Grant Cowan tries a tricycle with Trikes NZ owner Brian Gilbert. Mr Cowan’s friend 

of 30 years Rodger Wyatt (inset), is helping raise money for the trike. 


He said Mr Cowan is aware 

that his friends are trying to help 

him. 

“He knows he wants a bike, 

he knows it’s going to give him 

something to look forward to. 

“I think he’s had a reasonably 

dark 18 months and the look 

on is face [on Monday] was just 

extraordinary,” Mr Wyatt said. 

Mr Murray just wants to see his 

best friend mobile again. 

“My thing is, he’s my best mate, 

we’ve done so many crazy adventures 

all over the South Island,” 

he said. 

“He doesn’t deserve to be in 

a rehab facility, we just thought 

we’ve got to find a way at to at 

least come on a small ride with 

us,” Mr Murray said. 

He also wants to raise awareness 

for signs of stroke among 

40-50 year-olds. 

The Stroke Foundation of New 

Zealand recommends to learn 

three observations to look for in 

identifying stroke victims. 

If the person’s face drooping on 

one side, if one arm is weak or if 

their speech is slurred, phone 111. 

It’s abbreviated as FAST. Face, 

Arm, Speech and Take action.

Hooked on fishing 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

THE DANGER OF 

FEEDING BONES 

Belfast’s Braden Anderson, 7, and Izack Paku, 7, joined about 5000 

other children and parents at The Groynes lakes for the annual 

Take a Kid Fishing event 

With the popularity of feeding raw food 

diets now, we are seeing on the rise 

intestinal damage and blockages due to 

dogs eating the wrong sort of bones on a 

regular basis. Over the past six months we 

are doing exploratory surgeries to remove 

bones that have got lodged somewhere in 

the gastrointestinal tract almost on a weekly 

basis– often we see these patients late Friday 

afternoon so they end up being operated on 

that night and transferred to the afterhours. 

All this costs a lot of money and is stressful 

for the owner. I’m not saying all bones are 

bad but I think owners have to be aware of 

the pitfalls, research carefully the safer bone 

options like raw meaty bones and supervise 

carefully when there pooch is having a good 

old chew. 

In some adult dogs with no medical issues, 

feeding balanced and complete raw diets 

may be okay but we at McMaster & Heap 

will never be advocates of feeding most 

bones on a regular basis and certainly not to 

puppies. Very occasionally feeding a large 

RAW meaty cannon bone is great for teeth 

cleaning and general enjoyment. I limit Lola 

my Labrador to a raw cannon bone twice 

a month and it’s binned after one hour of 

chewing. Once I forgot to take the bone 

away and after three hours she was still 

knawing away and the pulp in her upper 

canine had bled into the tooth. Luckily it 

healed quickly and she didn’t need the tooth 

extracting. 

The nutritional value of bones is poor and 

their complication rate high. Dental disease 

is common and we will often see fractured 

canines and dying teeth from the pulp of 

the tooth getting permanently damaged 

from continual chewing on a hard object 

for too long. Again supervision is needed. 

Gastrointestinal disease, presenting with 

vomiting, regurgitation, diarrhoea and 

inappetance is commonplace (especially 

with the feeding of cooked bones ) as is the 

dreaded and expensive to treat “pancreatitis” 

patient. Baked or barbequed bones become 

hard and brittle causing splintering and 

subsequent piercing of the softer tissues. 

And then we have the blockages, where 

bone is “stuck” and can’t be pushed 

along with peristalsis, requiring surgical 

intervention – not a cheap option but a 

necessary one if we are to save the patients’ 

life. 

Now we come to my beloved “Henry” who 

regularly loves to visit me and have some 

sort of operation fairly regularly. We have a 

close relationship now. In January he was 

This is Henry NOT 

allowed on the furniture 

very sick with pancreatitis and hospitalised 

for days, then in August on a Sunday we 

surgically removed a foreign body from his 

small intestine and very recently he got a 

large knuckle bone completely stuck in his 

oesophagus requiring emergency surgery. 

He usually bounces back quickly from 

surgery but this last visit he’s had a few quite 

serious complications from eating bones. 

The large knuckle was removed through his 

pharygnx carefully with the use of forceps. 

Due to the oesophageal damage he’s had 

difficulty eating and regurgitation issues. 

He also had exploratory surgery to remove 

many sharp shards of bone from his stomach 

that were not able to pass through Henrys 

intestine. As a result of the regurgitation due 

to the surgery and eating of bones, he now 

has aspiration pneumonia which is holding 

his usually super recovery back. Henry 

has spiking fevers daily, feels listless and is 

off his food – a rare event for a Labrador!! 

He is currently taking nine medications, 

four of which are antibiotics. He’s been a 

daily inpatient getting intravenous fluids 

to support him as he hasn’t wanted to 

drink much. His owners are performing 

coupage several times a day to help clear 

secretions from the lungs. This is a bit like 

physiotherapy on the lungs to dislodge 

mucous and fluid pooling in the lungs so 

Henry can breathe easier. He coughs up the 

secretions in his airways and swallows them. 

Suffice to say the latest update from Henry 

is great news. He’s back home, eating 

much better, off intravenous fluids but still 

on a variety of medications. Pneumonia 

will probably take three to four weeks 

of antibiotic therapy to clear his lungs 

completely. Henry was very lucky as his 

owners will do anything for him and acted 

quickly getting him to us. He’s certainly 

worthy though of the love he has from us 

all. As you can see from his photo, he’s one 

“cool dude”.

Rangi celebrates 25 years 

with Japanese sister 

RANGI RURU Girls’ School 

is celebrating a 25-year 

relationship with Japanese sister 

school Yokohama Jogakuin 

High School. 

Rangi Ruru head of community 

and global connections 

Tania Morgan says looking back 

over the last quarter of a century 

really highlighted the strength 

of the relationship between the 

two schools. 

“Yokohama Jogakuin’s principal 

Mr Hirama approached Rangi 

Ruru 25 years ago after looking 

around the country for a school he 

felt would be best to partner with 

and that’s when he knocked at the 

door of the then principal, Gillian 

Heald,” she said. 

A group from Jogakuin, including 

Mr Hirama, began their 

visit to Rangi with a powhiri in 

the school chapel on Wednesday, 

and followed that with Maori 

lessons that afternoon where 

they learned waiata and Kēmu 

Rākau (a stick game). 

“Mr Hirama often talks about 

how important people are in 

this relationship we have. He 

tangata, he tangata, he tangata 

(the people, the people, the 

people). That was never more 

clearly illustrated as after the 

SISTER SCHOOL: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School teacher Gillian 

Heald (left), principal Dr Sandra Hastie, and former principal 

Julie Moor with Yokohama Jogakuin High School principal Mr 

Hirama. 

2011 earthquake when he came 

to Christchurch and brought a 

group of his students with him 

to show support for Rangi and 

Christchurch. There wouldn’t 

be one girl at Rangi who does 

not know Jogakuin is our sister 

school and how important the 

relationship is to both of us,” Ms 

Morgan said. 

During the week, the Yokohama 

Jogakuin group took time to 

check in on the Japanese garden 

which was specially dedicated in 

2016. Yokohama Jogakuin also 

has a garden on their grounds 

which grew the yellow Rangi 

Ruru rose. 

Rangi Ruru principal Dr Sandra 

Hastie officially opened the 

garden in 2016, said the 25-year 

mark was in fact a starting point 

for the next 25 years. 

“Over the last two and a half 

decades, we have developed a 

deep relationship with Yokohama 

Jogakuin,” she said. 

“It’s a relationship between 

student and student, staff 

member to staff member and 

principal to principal. When 

we grow with our partners and 

learn from them, we become 

stronger. 

School zone in final 

stage of planning 


ISLEWORTH School in 

Bishopdale is in the final stages of 

forming an enrolment zone. 

The school has been working 

with the Ministry of Education to 

set boundaries for a new zone to 

manage the school’s growing roll. 

Several primary schools in the 

north-west area already have 

zones, including Bishopdale 

School, Burnside Primary 

School, Redwood School, 

Harewood School, St Albans 

School and Papanui School. 

Principal Jeanette Shearer 

said the zone was proposed 

about three years ago after the 

school built two new classrooms 

due to roll growth. 

“The Ministry of Education 

don’t want to build new classrooms 

at one school for children 

who could be going to another 

school which they’re in zone for 

and has space for them.” 

The zone included Harewood 

Rd from Greers Rd to Breens 

Rd, both sides of Breens Rd, a 

selection of streets off Breens 

Rd, Wairakei Rd from Grahams 

Rd to Breens Rd, Grahams Rd 

from Greers Rd to Wairakei Rd, 

Greers Rd from Grahams Rd to 

Harewood Rd, the south side of 

Wairakei Rd from Charlcott St 

to Grahams Rd and both sides of 

Gregan Cres. 

Ms Shearer said the zone was 

restricted to the Isleworth School 

side of the main arterial routes 

to ensure pupils could travel to 

school safely. 

“It was a logical way 

to put a zone in. We 

don’t want children 

to have to cross those 

main roads to get here.” 

Ministry of Education 

deputy secretary 

Katrina 

Casey sector enablement and 

support Katrina Casey 

said the scheme ensured children 

in the area would be prioritised 

for enrolment. 

“The establishment of a scheme 

will help the school manage its 

roll and ensure that space is available 

for local students to enrol,” 

she said. 

Isleworth School and the 

Ministry of Education planned to 

hold a public consultation before 

the scheme could be approved, 

and the zone would come into effect 

at the beginning of next year.

ECan puts brakes on plan 

to extend Shirley route 


A PROPOSED extension to the 

No 44 Shirley bus service will 

not go ahead. 

At a meeting with 

representatives from affected 

parties on Thursday afternoon, 

Environment Canterbury 

senior manager public 

transport Stewart Gibbon said 

the consultation process had 

shown the community strongly 

opposed the extension of the No 

44 route. 

“We received 140 submissions, 

of which 108, or 77 per cent, 

opposed the change,” he said. 

The proposed extension came 

about due to an upcoming 

change to the Orbiter route 

because of roading changes as 

part of the Northern Corridor 

project. 

The change to the Orbiter 

will affect some people living 

adjacent to Philpotts Rd, such 

as Diana Isaac Retirement 

Village staff and residents who 

brought their concerns to ECan 

in March. 

“We took the concerns of the 

retirement village on board and 

worked with them to develop 

a potential solution that meant 

they would retain access to the 

network, while remaining a 

viable option for ECan,” he said. 

“We proposed an extension 

to the 44, which would provide 

a stop on Philpotts Rd within 

150m of the village, as the 

solution. However, the proposal 

to extend the 44 was dependent 

on consultation with other 

affected residents before any 

decisions could be finalised.” 

The proposed change to the 

No 44 route would have included 

travelling to and from Innes 

Rd via Philpotts Rd, Glenfield 

Cres, Roslyn Ave, Croziers Rd, 

Ranger St and Nancy Ave. 

Several submissions against 

the No 44 extension suggested 

other alternatives to the Orbiter

their battle 

to keep the

streets. 

re-route that had previously 

been considered by ECan. 

Mr Gibbon said he 

understood that the decision left 

residents and staff of Diana Isaac 

Retirement Village without close 

access to a bus service, at least in 

the short-term. 

“Operating an accessible 

public transport network is a 

priority. We will continue to 

work together with the village 

residents, Ryman Healthcare, 

the Mairehau community and 

the city council to investigate the 

best way to ensure appropriate 

access to the network,” he said. 

The Orbiter change is expected 

to be put in place in the next few 

months, with the exact date to 

be confirmed. 

A PAPANUI bus is one of seven 

Metro services that will change. 

From Monday, bus No 28 will 

be extended from Papanui to also 

travel to Bishopdale, Casebrook 

and Northwood. 

Earlier this year, Environment 

Canterbury consulted on 

proposed changes for public 

transport as part of its Long 

Term Plan 2018-28, to help 

address a financial shortfall in 

the public transport network. 

The other routes affected by 

these changes are the 107, 108, 

135, 145, 150 and 535, all of 

which were originally set to be 

axed to fill a $4 million funding 

shortfall in February. 

The routes had the lowest 

patronage in the city, accounting 

for 2.3 per cent of all bus travel 

between them. 

After listening to public feedback 

throughout the Long Term 

Plan process, a final package 

of changes was agreed, and the 

routes spared. 

Senior manager public transport 

Stewart Gibbon urged people 

to check the new timetables if 

they travel on those services. 

“The new timetables are available 

now at metroinfo.co.nz. You 

can also collect a timetable from

the Bus Interchange or by calling 

Metroinfo on 03 366 8855,” said 

Mr Gibbon. 

Among the key changes, No 

135 and 150 will form a new 

combined route travelling to New 

Brighton via the new Taiora QE 

II, retaining the current connection 

between New Brighton and 

Burwood Hospital and allowing 

for more connections across the 

north-east of Christchurch. 

The No 45 will travel from 

Westmorland to the CBD, via 

Barrington Mall. 

A new shopper service, No 

155, will be introduced to run 

between Lyttelton and Eastgate 

via Ferrymead, The Tannery, 

Woolston, Bromley and Eastgate.

WHALAN AND PARTNERS LTD, BAYLEYS, 

LICENSED UNDER THE REA ACT 2008



BISHOPDALE’S Bernadette 

Barrett will put months of 

training to the test at the New 

Zealand Spelling Bee next month. 

The home-schooled 15-year-old 

will compete against 18 of the 

country’s top young spellers on 

November 3 in Wellington. 

The rigorous “competition 

against the dictionary” began with 

a written classroom test, 

which found the top 200 

spellers in the country 

who then went headto-head 

in six regional 

semi-finals across New 

Zealand. 

The winner will 

receive a trophy and 

$5000 towards their 

academic pursuits. Now 

in its 14th year, the 

New Zealand Spelling 

Bee is a competitive 

spelling event aimed at 

encouraging students to gain a 

love of the English language. 

Spelling bee founder Janet Lucas 

is expecting a tough competition 

– with many of the spellers taking 

an extremely competitive stance 

and working hard for the win. 

“It will be an interesting final. 

There are some amazing spellers, 

some who are in the final for the 

second year in a row, and many of 

SCHOOLS 

Bishopdale teen off 

to NZ Spelling Bee 

Bernadette 

Barrett 

them really want to win and have 

worked hard to get here,” she said. 

“One of the things that’s great 

about the spelling bee is that 

anyone can take part – money 

is no barrier, which makes it 

fair and equal for everyone. Our 

sponsorship from the Wright 

Family Foundation means that 

the finalists win airfares and 

accommodation for 

themselves and a parent 

or caregiver to travel to 

the final – successful 

students don’t have to 

fundraise to get there.” 

Ms Lucas said it was 

a fallacy that in the 

age of the spellchecker, 

knowing how to spell was 

not important. 

“It’s actually more 

important than ever. 

By widening word 

knowledge, children 

are better able to understand 

and enjoy language, be it online, 

spoken, or in print,” she said. 

“Lack of communication skills 

is at the root of so many problems 

in society. The spelling bee aims 

to increase vocabulary, leading 

to effective communication skills 

and a person’s ability to express 

themselves.” 

Students cook up spicy book 

A COOK book inspired by 

recipes from refugees and 

immigrants has been created by 

a group of year 12 Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School students. 

Lucy Johnson, Tulsi Lathia, 

Sarah Lawrence and Victoria 

Park compiled the 100-page 

book as part of the Lion Young 

Enterprise programme. Spoonful 

of Spice is set to be released 

before Christmas. 

Rangi Ruru teacher Jacqui 

Griffith said the book was an 

opportunity for the girls to put 

their skills to work. 

“These enthusiastic young 

women began the year with a 

vision of exposing the difficulties 

migrants have faced on their 

journeys to start a new life,” she 

said. 

“And that’s precisely what 

they’ve achieved. But more than 

this, it has also been an opportunity 

for the girls to develop 

and exhibit their leadership and 

entrepreneurial skills.” 

The girls first got in touch 

with a group of refugees and 

migrants six months ago, and 

organised a series of potluck 

dinners where the women 

prepared and served traditional 

meals from their homelands. 

In the cookbook, recipes from 

the dinner are accompanied 

by interviews with the women. 

The book aims to break down 

barriers between migrant communities 

and locals. 

“It’s hard when you feel so 

isolated,” Lucy said. 

SPICY: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students Tulsi Lathia and 

Lucy Johnson have collated recipes for their cook book 

called Spoonful of Spice. 

“People really wanted to share 

their recipes and their stories 

with us, and in publishing it, 

we’re helping break down the 

barriers that exist between our 

communities.” 

They received funding from 

awards including the Cora 

Wilding memorial fund, Coffee 

Culture local hero awards and 

the YMCA youth voice awards. 

Pre-orders for the book are 

being taken now. 

The girls are talking to a number 

of businesses about stocking 

their cookbook. 

They are also looking at demonstration 

evenings with the 

migrant women and a possible 

second edition.

Veteran Northwood gardener takes 

The spring garden 

competition has put some 

of the city’s most beautiful 

gardens in the spotlight, 

with Northwood resident 

Peter Lawrence taking out 

the top award. Ashleigh 

Monk talks to him about 

what makes his section 

stand out 

GREEN FINGERS: Northwood 

resident Peter Lawrence in his 

award-winning garden with 

his dog Roxy. 

NORTHWOOD’S Peter 

Lawrence has always taken pride 

in his garden – and moving to 

a smaller section hasn’t stopped 

him from winning a top garden 

award. 

Mr Lawrence won the Andrews 

Cup at the Christchurch 

Beautifying Association’s spring 

garden competition. 

He has competed “just about 

every year” since 1974 and has 

won the cup numerous times. 

This was his first year working on 

a smaller section. 

“I was actually living next door, 

but it was time to down-size so I 

wouldn’t have such a big garden. 

This is the first year I’ve entered 

with this garden,” he said. 

“I feel really good to have won. 

There were some lovely gardens 

out there.” 

He said he has worked to get 

the garden looking perfect over 

the past year. 

“Laying the lawns, cutting out 

where the garden was going to 

be. I had a vision in my head of 

what it was going to look like and 

it turned out really well.” 

Mr Lawrence said gardening 

was a “great past-time”, 

regardless of the awards. 

“It gets you out and the 

neighbours talk to you, everyone 

that passes talks to you,” he said. 

“I’ll keep going as long as I’m 

able to. I like a nice garden, it 

offsets the house and upgrades 

the area a bit. It’s nice to have an 

area that people can enjoy.” 

Parklands resident Joceylin 

Ching was awarded a certificate 

of merit in the competition for 

her garden at 153 Royal Park 

Drive. 

After the earthquakes, the 

former Dallington resident 

scoured the red zone and rescued 

a number of rose bushes. 

She moved to Parklands 

from her Cheam St home after 

being red-zoned and the roses 

flourished. 

“I lot of the roses I picked up 

from people who were leaving the 

red zone,” she said. 

“It’s great now seeing it all 

come together, considering how 

sick a lot of the plants were when 

I lifted them up.” 

Christchurch Beautifying 

Association president Ron 

Andrews said it had been the best 

spring awards since before the 

quakes. 

“This competition has been 

well-attended over the years, 

right up until the earthquake. 

We lost a lot of gardens after that, 

and it hasn’t been quite the same. 

But we’ve had a record year – this 

is the first time we’ve exceeded 

the 40 or so entries,” he said. 

He wanted to encourage more 

people to take part in the awards 

even if they didn’t have much 

gardening experience. 

“A lot of people feel they can’t 

compete with some of the top 

gardens, and of course that is 

difficult, but we’re encouraging 

people to come along, learn 

to built up their competition 

gardens, and we’re starting to get 

more interest. Things are looking 

really good.”

St Bede’s brothers play 

indoor cricket for NZ 

• By Jacob Page 

TWO BROTHERS from St 

Bede’s College found success 

with New Zealand age-group 

indoor cricket teams over the 

school holidays. 

Jackson Hemingway is part 

of the under-17 national team 

and younger brother Brodie is 

part of the under-13 side. Both 

competed in the junior world 

series at Action Indoor Sports 

Hornby. 

Jackson’s team won their 

grade, beating South Africa 

in the final, while Brodie’s 

under-13 team finished third. 

The brothers both play their 

outdoor cricket for St Bede’s 

College and live at North Beach. 

The junior world series saw 

eight teams from New Zealand, 

four each from Australia, South 

Africa and England, as well as 

two from Singapore, compete 

across several age-groups for 

more than a week. 

In June Brodie’s under-13 

Canterbury team won their 

national title, while Jackson’s 

under-17 Canterbury team 

finished runner-up. 

Jackson, who has been a 

regular in Christchurch Metro 

outdoor teams, as well as the 

St Bede’s College first XI, is a 

talented batsman. He usually

HEMINGWAY 

comes in during the final 

partnership in indoor cricket 

and looks to get his team home 

or add runs to the total at an 

accelerated pace. 

“There’s definitely a skill to 

it, that’s for sure,” he said. “You 

have to rotate the strike while 

managing risk and taking on 

the big shot when needed.” 

Brodie opens the batting in 

both forms of the game and 

said he was thrilled to make the 

national team. 

He was part of the 

Chisnallwood Intermediate 

team that won the plate in the 

New Zealand Cup intermediate 

competition at Hagley Park last 

year. 

Both brothers agreed indoor 

cricket tests them with both bat 

and ball and there is nowhere to 

hide in the field. 

St Andrew’s keeper 

in World Cup squad 

• By Jacob Page 

ST ANDREW’S College student 

Blair Currie has been named 

in the New Zealand under-17 

women’s football team to 

compete at the World Cup in 

Uruguay. 

The year 13 goalkeeper, who 

plays her club football for Cashmere 

Technical, was one of six 

Mainland players to be named in 

the 21-strong squad on Wednesday. 

Other players who made the cut 

were Marissa van der Meer (FC 

Twenty 11, Middleton Grange), 

Macey Fraser (Waimak United , 

Rangiora High School), Gabrielle 

Rennie (Waimak United, Rangiora 

High School), Jayda Stewart 

(Waimak United, Papanui High 

School) and Amelia Abbott 

(Nelson). 

The squad will depart on 

November 3 with their first game 

coming against Finland on November 

14. 

Currie transferred to Cashmere 

Technical from Waimakariri 

United at the start of the season. 

When she began playing 

football as a six-year-old, she said 

she did not initially start out as a 

goalkeeper and actually spent a 

season playing rugby. 

“I used to watch my dad play 

masters (football) on the weekend 

so thought I’d give it a try,” she

goalkeeper Blair Currie is off

Uruguay next month. PHOTO: 

MAINLAND FOOTBALL 

said. It wasn’t until she was 13 

that she gave goalkeeping her full 

focus. 

“I’d always ask the coaches if 

I could give it a go and I really 

loved it when the goalkeeper was 

away,” she said. 

“Eventually I just did it all the 

time.” 

Currie was also named women’s 

goalkeeper of the year at the 

Mainland Football awards night 

this month.

Goodbye to Westview Lounge 

and Chalmers Restaurant 

e DnD Duo 

THE entire west wing of the Hornby WMC 

closes this weekend. e closure heralds Stage 

1 of an exciting two-year redevelopment 

project commencing in November. 

“It’s a major $18 million redevelopment 

that involves the demolition and rebuilding of 

half the Club’s current premises,” said Paul 

Inwood, General Manager. “e main bar area 

needed to be earthquake strengthened, so the 

Board decided to look at the bigger picture 

and create a multi-functional facility where 

families can spend more time in a relaxed 

environment.” 

e new west wing, to be completed by the 

end of 2019, will incorporate a large sports bar 

on the ground floor and a mezzanine floor 

above with a performance area and a cafe 

opening out to a deck with indoor/outdoor 

eating options. 

Next stage, the current east wing main bar 

will be gutted and replaced with a family 

restaurant; indoor children’s playground; 

corporate areas; and hall for the Club’s sporting 

sections. Completion date for Stage 2 is set at 

12 months aer completion of Stage 1.
