Quake survey a bid to<br />
help evacuation planning<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
PEOPLE LIVING along<br />
the Brighton coast line who<br />
evacuated the night of the<br />
2016 Kaikoura earthquake are<br />
being called on to take part in a<br />
research project.<br />
Canterbury University is<br />
aiming to survey as many<br />
residents as possible to collect<br />
data on the tsunami evacuation<br />
response that took place<br />
following the<br />
magnitude 7.8<br />
earthquake nearly<br />
two years ago.<br />
Matthew<br />
Hughes, one of<br />
the academics<br />
overseeing the<br />
Matthew<br />
Hughes<br />
project, said<br />
the survey isn’t<br />
about asking for<br />
opinions on the night of the<br />
earthquake, it is about what<br />
residents did in response to the<br />
tsunami hazard.<br />
The survey is part of a wider<br />
research project led by GNS<br />
Science and called Quicker<br />
and Safer Tsunami Evacuation<br />
through Agent-Based Modelling.<br />
The project is looking at<br />
tsunami risks and exposure in<br />
Christchurch and Wellington<br />
Dr Hughes said the data<br />
collected from the survey is<br />
going to be interesting in itself.<br />
“But OPTION the really ONEcrucial<br />
part of<br />
BIG PROJECT: Canterbury University is surveying coastal residents on how they responded to<br />
the tsunami hazard following the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake.<br />
PHOTO: REGENERATE CHRISTCHURCH<br />
this is going to start informing<br />
sophisticated computer<br />
modelling of population<br />
movements when they evacuate,”<br />
he said.<br />
The models will simulate<br />
people evacuating after a<br />
tsunami warning.<br />
The project involves a<br />
partnership with Civil Defence<br />
Emergency Management, the<br />
city council and Environment<br />
Canterbury. It is planned the<br />
information formed from the<br />
research will be presented in a<br />
series of workshops for affected<br />
coastal communities next year.<br />
It comes after confusion<br />
following the quake, in which<br />
hundreds were stuck in traffic for<br />
more than an hour trying to get<br />
to higher ground.<br />
In the new survey, residents<br />
will be asked how they knew<br />
there was a potential tsunami<br />
hazard, what they did when the<br />
official warning went out, what<br />
their knowledge of tsunami<br />
hazards is, and how it influenced<br />
their behaviour.<br />
It will focus on residents<br />
living in coastal areas in eastern<br />
areas of the city, including New<br />
Hearing aids –<br />
the next generation.<br />
Hearing aids that are smaller, look more stylish, and<br />
are packed with features for people who are always<br />
on the go.<br />
Try a pair for FREE * , and if you buy, you’ll get free care<br />
for the life of your devices valued up to $3500! *<br />
Plus a FREE upgrade to advanced<br />
technology valued up to $2000. *<br />
Brighton and Southshore as well<br />
as the Sumner, Redcliffs and the<br />
wider Banks Peninsula area.<br />
The survey also asks people to<br />
draw the route they drove if they<br />
evacuated.<br />
“We want to map what they<br />
did and try understand how<br />
their prior state of knowledge<br />
influenced that behaviour,” Dr<br />
Hughes said.<br />
He said the evacuation routes<br />
collected from the survey will<br />
go towards developing the<br />
computer model, which will<br />
help Civil Defence and other<br />
agencies help with evacuation<br />
planning.<br />
Anzac Fire Station senior<br />
station officer Shane O’Brien,<br />
who was on duty the night<br />
of the earthquake, said every<br />
fire station in the city has an<br />
emergency plan but the more<br />
information it receives the<br />
better.<br />
Dr Hughes said the aim is for<br />
evacuation paths and evacuation<br />
zones to be further informed<br />
by local knowledge when the<br />
models are developed.<br />
The survey will take place over<br />
the next several months and a<br />
preliminary report will<br />
be completed at the end of<br />
the year. To take part in the<br />

Playcentre a step closer to old site<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
BELFAST Playcentre is a<br />
step closer to getting back<br />
to its original site after a fire<br />
destroyed the original building.<br />
On Friday the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board approved<br />
a request to have two trees<br />
removed from the centre’s land<br />
on Main North Rd to make way<br />
for a new relocatable building.<br />
Belfast Playcentre coordinator<br />
Julie O’Rourke<br />
said she was pleased with the<br />
decision as this was the second<br />
time the playcentre had applied<br />
to have the trees removed.<br />
“They’re really average trees,<br />
and we’ve asked to have them<br />
removed before, so this was the<br />
second go,” she said.<br />
“When those trees were there<br />
at our old centre, we used to<br />
have rodents coming into the<br />
building by climbing up the<br />
trees. They were a real health<br />
and safety issue for us, because<br />
we don’t want rat and things<br />
coming in.”<br />
The playcentre had been<br />
operating from the Spencerville<br />
Community Hub since a fire<br />
destroyed the centre a year ago.<br />
The blaze started when<br />
something was left on a hot<br />
stove at a five-year-old’s<br />
birthday party.<br />
HOME: After its building was destroyed by fire, the Belfast Playcentre has been holding<br />
classes at temporary sites like the Belfast Community Centre.<br />
Ms O’Rourke said that while<br />
she was grateful to be able to<br />
use the space, it had affected the<br />
playcentre’s roll.<br />
“We haven’t been able to get<br />
more people coming to the<br />
playcentre because most people<br />
are waiting for a building.”<br />
“Some of the time we just<br />
choose to go on outings, because<br />
it’s quite hard for our parents<br />
to actually physically get out to<br />
Spencerville. So parents who<br />
don’t have cars, it’s hard for<br />
them, so that’s why we go out<br />
so that we don’t lose contact<br />
with everybody.” She said the<br />
news that the trees were to be<br />
removed would be “great news”<br />
for the community.<br />
“It’s been really tricky, but the<br />
core group of parents have been<br />
really determined to rebuild,<br />
and everything I’ve heard<br />
from the community is parents<br />
are just waiting for it to be<br />
rebuilt.”<br />
She said there was no<br />
definitive time line for the tree<br />
removal, but she hoped the<br />
centre would be back up and<br />
running in time for the new<br />
year.<br />

Love of Shakespeare gets Ruby to UK<br />
St Margaret’s<br />
student on<br />
stage at Globe<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
THE WORK of William<br />
Shakespeare hasn’t always been a<br />
passion for St Margaret’s College<br />
student Ruby Anderson.<br />
But wanting to jump at any<br />
opportunity to perform, she<br />
was drawn into the playwright’s<br />
theatrical work when she<br />
took part in the national<br />
SGCNZ University of Otago<br />
Sheilah Winn Shakespeare<br />
festival last year.<br />
Now Ruby, 17, has been<br />
selected alongside Christchurch<br />
Rudolf Steiner School student<br />
Quinn Kueppers to travel to<br />
London to take part in an<br />
intensive theatre programme<br />
based around the Shakespeare’s<br />
work.<br />
Ruby said since taking part<br />
in the festival, she had fostered<br />
“such a love” for Shakespeare.<br />
In fact when she took part<br />
in it again this year, she was<br />
compelled to direct and perform<br />
a piece from Shakespeare’s<br />
comedy As You Like It alongside<br />
fellow student Emily Stewart.<br />
The work was recognised with<br />
a range of awards in both the<br />

regional and national sections of<br />
the festival. “I think Shakespeare<br />
for young people is dubbed<br />
as non-relevant for people or<br />
maybe not accessible to a young<br />
generation but I think that<br />
stigma is just so wrong,” she said.<br />
She said the way his work has<br />
lasted so long throughout history<br />
is unlike any other author and<br />
it is a testament to his work and<br />
longevity.<br />
Ruby and Quinn will join<br />
24 students from around the<br />
country in the Shakespeare<br />
Globe Centre New Zealand<br />
Young Shakespeare Company.<br />
The students will travel to<br />
London in July. Quinn said just<br />
seeing London will be amazing,<br />
but he is looking forward to<br />
working with the directors and<br />
performing at the Globe Theatre<br />
the most. They were selected<br />
from 48 students who took<br />
part in the SGCNZ National<br />
Shakespeare Schools Production<br />
at Dunedin earlier this month.<br />
The 48 students were whittled<br />
down from 5000 who took part<br />
in a series of national SGCNZ<br />
University of Otago Sheilah<br />
Winn Shakespeare festivals.<br />
Ruby said she already has<br />
a good bond with the other<br />
students travelling to London<br />
and is excited to work with them<br />
again. “I am absolutely humbled<br />
I have been selected for such an<br />
opportunity,” she said.<br />
Established in 1991, the<br />
programme has seen 520<br />
students travel to Shakespeare’s<br />
Globe in London. The theatre<br />
is a reconstruction of the Globe<br />
Theatre which was built in 1599<br />
by Shakespeare’s company Lord<br />
Chamberlain’s Men. The twoweek<br />
theatrical programme will<br />
see the students take part in 12<br />
rehearsals with Globe director<br />
Tim Walker before they perform<br />
for the public.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Pokie player thought hold up was a joke<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
WHEN AN armed robber<br />
ordered people playing the pokies<br />
to lie on the floor, Jenny Hogg<br />
thought it was a joke.<br />
But when Ms Hogg saw the<br />
offender’s firearm was not a toy<br />
gun like she first thought, she<br />
realised it was<br />
serious.<br />
Ms Hogg<br />
was playing<br />
the pokies on<br />
Tuesday night<br />
at Coasters<br />
Tavern in<br />
Redwood<br />
Jenny Hogg<br />
when three<br />
armed robbers<br />
held up the bar.<br />
During the ordeal shortly<br />
before 9pm, one patron, an<br />
elderly man, tried to wrestle<br />
with one of the robbers. It<br />
is believed he was hit in the<br />
forehead with the blunt end of a<br />
machete.<br />
Ms Hogg said he received a<br />
cut to his forehead. A woman in<br />
her 20s also received a fat lip, she<br />
said.<br />
A shot was fired during the<br />
ordeal, which lasted between five<br />
and eight minutes<br />
Ms Hogg said she believes the<br />
shot was fired at the roof. She<br />
said she tried to tell jokes and<br />
laugh to keep people calm.<br />
“I didn’t even realise everyone<br />
was lying on the floor. I thought<br />
this guy had walked in as a joke. I<br />
was still playing the pokies, then<br />
I turned around and everyone<br />
was on the floor and I thought<br />
‘oh, sh*t’, I better get on the floor.<br />
I was like ‘oh, you’re for real<br />
mate.”<br />
Detective Sergeant Brad<br />
Greenstreet said the men,<br />
who were armed with various<br />
weapons, including a machete<br />
and a firearm, threatened bar<br />
staff and patrons and demanded<br />
money.<br />
The men left in a stolen dark<br />
blue Mazda Familia hatchback<br />
before dumping it nearby and<br />
using a second vehicle to leave<br />
the area.<br />
They wore scarves over their<br />
faces and black hoodies.<br />
Detective Sergeant Greenstreet<br />
called the incident “violent and<br />
dangerous.”<br />
He said his advice for people<br />
in a situation like this would be<br />
to comply with the offender’s<br />
demands.<br />
“These things can escalate and<br />
get out of hand quickly.”<br />
ON THE CASE:<br />
A detective<br />
at the scene<br />
of the armed<br />
robbery at<br />
Coasters<br />
Tavern in<br />
Redwood.<br />
“It is fortunate more<br />
people were not seriously hurt.”<br />
Ms Hogg believes about $4000<br />
was taken.<br />
Goldi Group Ltd general<br />
manager Gareth Bull, a<br />
representative of the company<br />
that owns the tavern, said he<br />
would not comment as the<br />
robbery was under police<br />
investigation.<br />

Teen to walk<br />
for charity in<br />
memory of<br />
grandmother<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
A ST Andrew’s College student<br />
is set to take part in a charity<br />
walk to raise money for breast<br />
cancer, in honour of her<br />
grandmother who died from the<br />
disease.<br />
Year 13 student Amiee<br />
Bonniface will walk 10km in the<br />
Pink Star Walk on November<br />
10 to raise money for the Breast<br />
Cancer Foundation.<br />
Amiee’s grandmother<br />
Gweneth Parry died of breast<br />
cancer 16 years ago.<br />
She said the money raised<br />
from the walk would be used to<br />
fund vital research projects, promote<br />
early detection and support<br />
New Zealanders recovering from<br />
and living with breast cancer in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
Amiee has so far raised $365,<br />
surpassing her goal of $250.<br />
“We cannot do this alone but<br />
with your help we can make a<br />
difference,” she said.<br />

Farewell to Shirley Boys’ stalwart<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A LARGE send off was held to<br />
honour long-serving Shirley<br />
Boys’ High School staff member<br />
John Fox.<br />
Mr Fox died at Christchurch<br />
Hospital on <strong>October</strong> 17 after<br />
battling a ongoing illness.<br />
He was farewelled with a<br />
service at Shirley Boys’ High<br />
School on Wednesday.<br />
More than 1100 students and<br />
about 500 old boys attended, plus<br />
staff.<br />
Headmaster John Laurenson<br />
said Mr Fox was a huge part of<br />
the school and meant a lot to the<br />
students and staff.<br />
He said a full school haka was<br />
performed for Mr Fox, which<br />
could be heard all the way back<br />
past The Palms Shopping Centre.<br />
Mr Fox had been heavily<br />
involved with the school for<br />
more than 18 years after his<br />
children attended Shirley Boy’s<br />
High in the late 1990s and early<br />
2000s.<br />
From about 2003, he<br />
was employed as the rugby<br />
development officer.<br />
He also managed and coached<br />
the school’s dragon boating<br />
team.<br />
Mr Laurenson said Mr Fox was<br />
“instrumental” in cross-country<br />
where he organised teams and<br />
was involved in the school’s<br />
athletics.<br />
He was the health officer at the<br />
school, looking after wellness<br />
and first aid, as well as liaising<br />
with the school’s guidance<br />
department.<br />
Mr Laurenson said his office<br />
was a place where students would<br />
go where they would be able to<br />
talk off the record and unload to<br />
someone who understood them<br />
when there were problems.<br />
“I would wander in and<br />
he and I would talk about<br />
inconsequential things but that<br />
acted as a sort of a release for me<br />
personally as well. That was the<br />
type of person he was.”<br />
Outside of school, family was a<br />
major part of Mr Fox’s life and he<br />
was secretary for the Canterbury<br />
Rugby Football Union where he<br />
managed multiple teams.<br />
He grew up in Auckland and<br />
attended Auckland Grammar<br />
School.<br />
He moved to Christchurch<br />
REMEMBERED:<br />
Long-serving<br />
Shirley Boys’<br />
High School<br />
staff member<br />
John Fox was<br />
heavily involved<br />
in the school for<br />
more than 18<br />
years. <br />
in the early 1990s to manage<br />
the Christchurch Football Club<br />
facility.<br />
Mr Fox fell ill several years<br />
ago, but was involved with the<br />
school until the end of term 3.<br />
He was then admitted to<br />
Christchurch Hospital.<br />
“Even with his failing kidneys,<br />
it never compromised his work<br />
. . . he was on the sideline in the<br />
weekends, organising things<br />
for the boys, he was all those<br />
things,” Mr Laurenson said.<br />

Former St Bede’s student<br />
wins top architecture award<br />
FORMER St Bede’s<br />
College student Matthew<br />
Durning has won a<br />
prestigious Australian<br />
urban design award.<br />
His project, Brisbane’s<br />
Fish Lane, won the<br />
landscape architecture<br />
award for urban design,<br />
which was presented by<br />
the Australian Institute of<br />
Landscape Architects. It<br />
will go alongside his earlier<br />
awards, including the<br />
Queensland urban design<br />
award and the Queensland<br />
minster’s award for urban<br />
design.<br />
Durning graduated from<br />
St Bede’s in 2005 and then<br />
completed a Masters in<br />
Landscape Architecture at<br />
Lincoln University before<br />
moving to Brisbane in<br />
2011 and then to Sydney<br />
with landscape architect<br />
company, RPS.<br />
Fish Lane is a vibrant<br />
inner-city laneway that<br />
connects Brisbane’s<br />
Cultural Centre and South<br />
Bank to the suburban West<br />
End.<br />
It has 17 retailers,<br />
including bars and<br />
restaurants, plus 35 pieces<br />
of public art.<br />
DESIGNER: Former St<br />
Bede’s College student<br />
Matthew Durning<br />
with the landscape<br />
architecture award for<br />
urban design.<br />
Durning said<br />
because Fish Lane is<br />
spread over four blocks<br />
with a multitude of<br />
private owners and the<br />
council, the need for a<br />
comprehensive stakeholder<br />
communication<br />
Year after year, the Pataka Country<br />
Christmas Shop, located at the north end of<br />
Marshland Road, warmly invites customers<br />

more arriving too, as some stock has been<br />
delayed this year, so keep popping in over<br />
programme was<br />
paramount.<br />
“Because we were<br />
turning an unused space<br />
into a dynamic, 24-hour<br />
retail, hospitality and<br />
commercial area, we<br />
had to come up with a<br />
bold design to ensure a<br />
successful transformation,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We wanted to create an<br />
element of surprise and<br />
intrigue so decided to turn<br />
it into an ephemeral arts<br />
scape.”<br />
The judging panel said<br />
Fish Lane delivered a<br />
highly-curated urban<br />
experience, celebrating<br />
Brisbane’s unique lifestyle<br />
as an outdoor city.<br />
They also said it<br />
embraced four key design<br />
principles. It created a safe<br />
and legible pedestrianfocused<br />
street scape;<br />
desirable and inspiring<br />
sub-tropical spaces and<br />
places that are responsive<br />
to Brisbane’s climate; a<br />

Dolphins, pile driving spark questions<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
THE BANKS Peninsula<br />
Community Board will ask the<br />
Lyttelton Port Company about<br />
its plan to manage the impact<br />
of pile driving on Hector’s<br />
dolphins.<br />
The board<br />
decided to<br />
question<br />
LPC after a<br />
presentation<br />
from Māui and<br />
Hector’s Dolphin<br />
Defenders<br />
Genevieve<br />
Robinson <br />
committee<br />
member<br />
Genevieve<br />
Robinson last week.<br />
She said she wanted to see<br />
LPC’s cruise berth design and<br />
marine mammal management<br />
plans made publicly available.<br />
She had questioned LPC on<br />
its plans and said most of her<br />
questions remained unanswered.<br />
Community board member<br />
Felix Dawson says the board<br />
wants to assist Ms Robinson in<br />
getting the answers she seeks as<br />
other will be concerned about<br />
the dolphins’ protection.<br />
“We wanted to help get the<br />
answers she wanted because<br />
it’s important if she’s correct.<br />
If there’s some doubt about the<br />
correct approach being taken . . .<br />
QUESTIONS: The Banks Peninsula Community Board is seeking information on LPC’s plan to<br />
minimise the impact of pile driving on dolphins.<br />
then we wanted to assist her.”<br />
The board’s questions will<br />
be combined with others from<br />
the city council. They will be<br />
sent this week through the<br />
city council’s investment arm,<br />
Christchurch City Holdings Ltd,<br />
which owns the port, said a city<br />
council spokeswoman.<br />
The spokeswoman would<br />
not say what the city council’s<br />
additional questions will be.<br />
Ms Robinson said she did not<br />
believe LPC was doing enough<br />
to prevent the negative effects of<br />
pile driving.<br />
“When they do pile driving, it<br />
makes a noise into the water. That<br />
is what concerns us regarding the<br />
dolphins’ hearing,” she said.<br />
LPC chief executive Peter<br />
Davie said the welfare of Hector’s<br />
dolphins was a priority during<br />
construction of the new berth.<br />
Marine pile driving is expected<br />
to start next month, while some<br />
land-based piling started earlier<br />
this year. Mr Davie said work<br />
needed to begin soon in the<br />
water to have the berth ready for<br />
the 2020/21 cruise season.<br />
Most piles will be installed<br />
between March and December<br />
next year.<br />
He said the size of the piles<br />
for the berth was smaller than<br />
initially planned to mitigate the<br />
effects of the noise on dolphins.<br />
“Modelling . . . shows underwater<br />
sound energy per pile will be 100<br />
times less,” Mr Davie said.<br />
However, Ms Robinson did<br />
not agree, saying the modelling<br />
would not provide an accurate<br />
measure of the sound generated.<br />
Mr Davie said LPC had<br />
undertaken recent noise<br />
measurements, but the data was<br />
“still being processed.”<br />
Mrs Robinson said using screw<br />
piling would generate “barely<br />
any noise” if it was used instead.<br />
Mr Davie said screw piling<br />
would not be strong enough to<br />
“create a seismically resilient<br />
wharf” which could berth the<br />
large cruise liners.<br />
Otago University marine<br />
science department head,<br />
professor Stephen Dawson,<br />
had conducted a study of earlier<br />
pile-driving operations in<br />
Lyttelton Harbour between 2014<br />
and 2015.Prof Dawson’s team<br />
positioned instruments around<br />
the harbour which were attuned<br />
to the frequency of the Hector’s<br />
dolphins’ echolocation.<br />
He said the instruments<br />
recorded fewer dolphins during<br />
pile driving. “It definitely denies<br />
habitat. That is a fact.”<br />
He said the underwater sound<br />
of those piles being driven in was<br />
at a similar level to a gunshot.<br />
That could cause deafness<br />
and change the behaviour of the<br />
dolphins. Prof Dawson said pile<br />
driving could see a substantial<br />
decrease in dolphin numbers.

join us on November 3 to help cut our<br />
special 75 th birthday cake,” said senior<br />

“Like many pre-schools in the city’s<br />
east we struggled with numbers in<br />
the immediate aftermath of the 2011<br />
earthquake which forced a number of<br />
our families from the area.<br />
“Thanks to the ongoing support<br />
of our community, our roll is now<br />
healthier than ever, putting us in a<br />
great position to serve this area for<br />
another 75 years,” Mrs Downey said.<br />

Reality stars in Papanui for birthday<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
WHAT BETTER way to<br />
celebrate your 50th birthday<br />
than with your favourite reality<br />
television stars?<br />
Papanui businessman Kim<br />
Buckley will fly Storage Wars<br />
stars Sally and Laurence Martin<br />
to New Zealand for his partner<br />
Mandy Rooney’s birthday next<br />
month.<br />
The Martin’s make their living<br />
buying and selling items at<br />
auction, and along with Storage<br />
Wars they have also starred in<br />
the spin-off show Baggage Battles.<br />
Mr Buckley, who owns a KB’s<br />
Bakery, said he and Ms Rooney<br />
met the couple in 2014 at their<br />
Los Angeles, California, antiques<br />
store Studio Antiques.<br />
“We met them after I had a<br />
heart attack over in America. It<br />
was only a wee one, but shortly<br />
after I’d gotten out of hospital we<br />
went to visit their shop,” he said.<br />
“I said to Mandy on the way<br />
to LA airport ‘why don’t we call<br />
in and see the Baggage Battles<br />
people and see if they are at there<br />
shop in El Segoda?’ It was right<br />
by the airport, so we called in .<br />
. . we all clicked straight away,<br />
Laurence thought I was his long<br />
lost brother.”<br />
Mr Buckley said he and Ms<br />
Rooney were not only fans of the<br />
Martin’s, but also good friends.<br />
“Every time we go to the US we<br />
go and see them, we’ve got to be<br />
quite good mates,” he said.<br />
He said he and Ms Rooney<br />
were not antique collectors.<br />
“We are more into bar<br />
memorabilia. But we like them<br />
for them, and that’s likewise, and<br />
just love their whole attitude.<br />
They are lovely people. Laurence<br />
is a bit eccentric, and Sally is just<br />
a lovely, happy-go-lucky lady.”<br />
He said the Martin’s had never<br />
been to New Zealand, but were<br />
looking forward to visiting.<br />
Mr Buckley said he and Ms<br />
Rooney met seven years ago<br />
through friends.<br />
“We didn’t actually like<br />
each other at first, but through<br />
lots of talking and getting<br />
to know each other things<br />
blossomed.”<br />
He said Laurence and Sally<br />

FORMER ST Andrew’s College<br />
student Thomas Russel is<br />
not one to look back at past<br />
accomplishments as his rowing<br />
career takes off.<br />
The Avon rower has<br />
made the New Zealand<br />
elite team in his first<br />
season out of secondary<br />
school ranks.<br />
He was part of the<br />
national team which<br />
competed at the world<br />
championships in<br />
Bulgaria last month in<br />
the men’s four.<br />
The 19-year-old was<br />
in the St Andrew’s under-17<br />
coxed four which won gold at the<br />
Maadi Cup secondary schools’<br />
regatta in 2017.<br />
Russel made the Southern<br />
RPC, he won silver as part of the<br />
New Zealand coxless four at the<br />
Junior World Championships last<br />
year and the under-23 coxless<br />
four which won a bronze in<br />
Poland in July.<br />
Russel is not one to let the<br />
quick success go to his head.<br />
“I haven’t sat down and had a<br />
look back at what I’ve achieved so<br />
SPORTS<br />
Russel on course<br />
for successful<br />
rowing future<br />
Thomas<br />
Russel<br />
far, I just want to make the most<br />
of every opportunity in front of<br />
me,” he said.<br />
He started rowing in 2014 by<br />
following his mates to try it out.<br />
Russel credited the St<br />
Andrew’s coaches for his<br />
progression and success at<br />
Maadi Cup regattas.<br />
Russel was hopeful<br />
he would spend a lot of<br />
his time at Rowing New<br />
Zealand’s base at Lake<br />
Karapiro to continue his<br />
growth in the sport.<br />
Russel has plenty of<br />
familiar faces to help<br />
ease him into the elite<br />
squad with former crewmate<br />
Ben Taylor is also in his first year<br />
in the national set-up while top<br />
single-sculler Robbie Manson is a<br />
former StAC old boy.<br />
Russel said while the Tokyo<br />
Olympics was on his radar he<br />
has tried not to put too much<br />
pressure on himself.<br />
“I’m happy to just be part of<br />
the squad at this stage and if I’m<br />
picked for a boat for Tokyo that<br />
would be great, but for now, I just<br />
want to keep getting better,” he<br />
said.<br />
DETERMINED: Canterbury kendo players Masa Matsunami (left), Tania Butterfield and Kai<br />
Edwards all received medals at the South Island Kendo Championships at Papanui High School.<br />
Runner-up for Matsunami<br />
PAPANUI’S MASA Matsunami<br />
was forced to settle for second to<br />
clubmate and Cashmere High<br />
School student Kai Edwards<br />
at the South Island Kendo<br />
Championships at Papanui High<br />
School.<br />
Edwards won the men’s dan<br />
competition over his good friend<br />
Matsunami in spite of having less<br />
experience.<br />
The event also marked the <strong>30</strong>th<br />
anniversary of the Canterbury<br />
club.<br />
Edwards, who was an<br />
apprentice with the New Zealand<br />
team at the world championships<br />
last month in South Korea,<br />
was able to defeat the more<br />
experienced Matsunami, who<br />
competed for New Zealand at the<br />
global event.<br />
It was one of a number of<br />
successes for the Canterbury<br />
club with Matsunami and Chris<br />
McGill combining to win the<br />
kata event together.<br />
Parklands’ Tania Butterfield<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
finished fourth in the open<br />
women’s competition, while<br />
Cantabrians filled the podium<br />
in the open kyu event with Ryan<br />
Hamilton first, Eric George<br />
second and Martin Jiruska<br />
third.<br />
The Canterbury A team<br />
of Jinuska, Edwards and<br />
Matsunami were the victorious<br />
team. The Canterbury B team of<br />
George, Butterfield and Yuma<br />
Tamaki was third.<br />

Hanleys Essential Dog Roll<br />
Essentials dog rolls have now rebranded to Hanleys Essential<br />
Dog Roll under owner Philippa Hanleys animal nutrition banner.<br />
Philippa has been making natural horse and dog food for over<br />
10 years and lives locally in Geraldine.<br />
Hanleys Essential Dog Roll are not just amazing meat. Philippas<br />
own amino acids blend from Nz whey protein concentrate<br />
are added along with organic minerals, rice and hemp seed oil<br />
from Canterbury. Hemp seed oil has been dubbed ‘nature’s<br />
most perfectly balanced oil’, due to its 3:1 ratio of Omega 6<br />
to Omega 3, deemed an essential requirement for long-term<br />
healthy nutrition. Brown rice flour and other organic minerals<br />
are also added, making the rolls full of clean protein and good<br />
fats. Hanleys contains 18% protein so next time you are buying<br />
your dog roll compare this figure. More protein means you<br />
need to feed less, so you are receiving far better value for<br />
money. Feed less and save more.<br />
It is not just about what is in the rolls. What is missing is also<br />
crucial. No preservatives or chemicals are added. Many pet<br />
owners probably do not realise how hard preservatives are<br />
on a dog’s kidneys and how much damage they may cause. The<br />
business mottos are: ‘enhance all health’ and ‘health before<br />
money’.<br />
Feed just a portion of normal supermarket rolls due to the<br />
superfood ingredients.<br />

first national title<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
BISHOPDALE’S Delta<br />
Rhythmic Gymnastics Club<br />
member Sarah Quinn became a<br />
national champion for the first<br />
time after a stellar competition<br />
at Tauranga.<br />
The 16-year-old, who goes to<br />
Villa Maria College and lives<br />
in West Melton, became the<br />
overall national champion at<br />
level nine.<br />
Sarah won the ribbon and<br />
ball competitions and was third<br />
in the clubs. Her consistency<br />
across all disciplines earned her<br />
the national title.<br />
“It was an amazing feeling,<br />
something I wasn’t expecting.”<br />
Sarah started gymnastics nine<br />
years ago just to try it out and<br />
has not looked back.<br />
She trained for more than<br />
15 hours a week in the lead-up<br />
to the competition and was<br />
delighted with the overall result.<br />
Sarah said she enjoys using<br />
the clubs. “I always enjoyed<br />
learning new routines with<br />
them and it was something I<br />
learnt quickly,” she said.<br />
She will now turn her<br />
attention to winning a level 10<br />
title next year at the nationals<br />
to add another golden moment<br />
to her rhythmic gymnastics<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
You asked for it ... we found it!<br />
103 Penruddock Rise, Westmorland<br />
Auction: Thursday, 8 November <strong>2018</strong> - unless sold prior<br />
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 2 living rooms | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number BE193132<br />
On a flat 938 sq m section, with<br />
magnificent views encompassing rolling<br />
hills, city lights and the Southern alps,<br />
and all on a single level with easy drive-on<br />
access; this Westmorland property has a list<br />
of requirements we often see and can seldom<br />
fulfill, with demand always outstripping<br />
supply. The beautifully finished executive<br />
home is spacious and well laid out with<br />
multiple choices of living and entertaining<br />
zones, indoors and out. With solar panels<br />
installed to maximize the home’s fantastic<br />
exposure to all day sun, it’s no wonder our<br />
vendors are only reluctantly relinquishing<br />
their much loved home to relocate north.<br />
A centerpiece kitchen sits at the heart of<br />
the home, with sleek stainless steel benches,<br />
custom built charcoal joinery and 900 wide<br />
free standing range. From here you can<br />
preside over two separate living areas, the<br />
dining room and three different outdoor<br />
decks, not to mention panoramic views.<br />
The design is perfect for family living<br />
and entertaining with the areas able to be<br />
separated off when required for a more<br />
intimate feel. Each of the outdoor spaces<br />
has a different aspect, making it easy to find<br />
a sheltered spot in the sun at any time.<br />
There are four bedrooms, the master<br />
being particularly spacious, with walkin<br />
robe and ensuite. Both bathrooms are<br />
elegantly finished with extensive tiling<br />
and modern wall hung vanities. There is a<br />
separate laundry and a double garage with<br />
internal access. Raised vege planters are<br />
currently flourishing with home grown<br />
produce, testament to the unique hillside<br />
micro climate and just one more reason to<br />
come for the views and stay for the lifestyle.<br />
Open Home Saturday 3rd and Sunday<br />
4th November 4:00pm - 4.<strong>30</strong>pm.<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />
council.”<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartments suffere damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />

However, the public has li tle<br />
interest in having input into the<br />

Only eight submi sions were<br />
received for a potential bylaw<br />
aimed at regulating commercial<br />
activities in public places.<br />
The district council wi l be<br />
holding a hearing for the Public<br />
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />
Activities and Events in<br />
Public Places.<br />
A hearing i scheduled to be<br />
held on Thursday.<br />
The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />
number of mobile traders<br />
are s eking t operate in Selwyn,<br />
especia ly during the summer<br />
months.<br />
In the past year, the district<br />
council has received five inquiries<br />
about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />
on private or public land.<br />
A report said there are two<br />

The New Zealand Mounted<br />

Mark A pleton and member<br />
Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />
to the trust.<br />
The presentation is a prelude<br />
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />
Management Commi t e’s<br />
upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />
As a tribute to those who<br />
served, members of the trust wi l<br />
ride horseback to the service.<br />
Mr A pleton said it was<br />
important children were<br />
educated on what soldiers<br />
wen through during World<br />
War 1 and World War 2.<br />
But he said the presentation<br />
didn’t go into t o much detail<br />
and was more of a “show and<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />
Children were shown the type<br />
of kits horses were required to<br />
wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bigger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />

from the city council to make a<br />
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />
for a resource consen to create a<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
told Western <strong>News</strong> the submi sion<br />
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />
plan.<br />
“You can just about guarant e<br />
it . because we [the community<br />
board] don’t believe qua ries<br />
should be so close to residential<br />
areas,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />
board’ submi sion.<br />
“I’d like to think so because the<br />
city council has had their eyes<br />
open as we l ove recent years over<br />
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board wi l be “representing and<br />
