Quake survey a bid to 

help evacuation planning 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

PEOPLE LIVING along 

the Brighton coast line who 

evacuated the night of the 

2016 Kaikoura earthquake are 

being called on to take part in a 

research project. 

Canterbury University is 

aiming to survey as many 

residents as possible to collect 

data on the tsunami evacuation 

response that took place 

following the 

magnitude 7.8 

earthquake nearly 

two years ago. 

Matthew 

Hughes, one of 

the academics 

overseeing the 

Matthew 

Hughes 

project, said 

the survey isn’t 

about asking for 

opinions on the night of the 

earthquake, it is about what 

residents did in response to the 

tsunami hazard. 

The survey is part of a wider 

research project led by GNS 

Science and called Quicker 

and Safer Tsunami Evacuation 

through Agent-Based Modelling. 

The project is looking at 

tsunami risks and exposure in 

Christchurch and Wellington 

Dr Hughes said the data 

collected from the survey is 

going to be interesting in itself. 

“But OPTION the really ONEcrucial 

part of 

BIG PROJECT: Canterbury University is surveying coastal residents on how they responded to 

the tsunami hazard following the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake. 

PHOTO: REGENERATE CHRISTCHURCH 

this is going to start informing 

sophisticated computer 

modelling of population 

movements when they evacuate,” 

he said. 

The models will simulate 

people evacuating after a 

tsunami warning. 

The project involves a 

partnership with Civil Defence 

Emergency Management, the 

city council and Environment 

Canterbury. It is planned the 

information formed from the 

research will be presented in a 

series of workshops for affected 

coastal communities next year. 

It comes after confusion 

following the quake, in which 

hundreds were stuck in traffic for 

more than an hour trying to get 

to higher ground. 

In the new survey, residents 

will be asked how they knew 

there was a potential tsunami 

hazard, what they did when the 

official warning went out, what 

their knowledge of tsunami 

hazards is, and how it influenced 

their behaviour. 

It will focus on residents 

living in coastal areas in eastern 

areas of the city, including New 

Hearing aids – 

the next generation. 

Hearing aids that are smaller, look more stylish, and 

are packed with features for people who are always 

on the go. 

Try a pair for FREE * , and if you buy, you’ll get free care 

for the life of your devices valued up to $3500! * 

Plus a FREE upgrade to advanced 

technology valued up to $2000. * 

Brighton and Southshore as well 

as the Sumner, Redcliffs and the 

wider Banks Peninsula area. 

The survey also asks people to 

draw the route they drove if they 

evacuated. 

“We want to map what they 

did and try understand how 

their prior state of knowledge 

influenced that behaviour,” Dr 

Hughes said. 

He said the evacuation routes 

collected from the survey will 

go towards developing the 

computer model, which will 

help Civil Defence and other 

agencies help with evacuation 

planning. 

Anzac Fire Station senior 

station officer Shane O’Brien, 

who was on duty the night 

of the earthquake, said every 

fire station in the city has an 

emergency plan but the more 

information it receives the 

better. 

Dr Hughes said the aim is for 

evacuation paths and evacuation 

zones to be further informed 

by local knowledge when the 

models are developed. 

The survey will take place over 

the next several months and a 

preliminary report will 

be completed at the end of 

the year. To take part in the

WE PAY tribute today to one of Shirley 

Boys High School’s great staff members – 

John Fox (page 6). 

John passed away a couple of weeks ago 

and the huge turnout to his funeral underlined 

his popularity. 

John was synonymous with sport at the school. 

He was rugby development officer, managed and coached 

the dragon boat team, was instrumental in the school’s crosscountry 

and had a big hand in athletics. 

He was the health officer at the school, looking after wellness 

and first aid as well as liaising with the school’s guidance 

department. 

A fairly impressive record. 

Also on sport, we have the Zonta Sports Awards winners and 

finalists on page 13. 

Rangi Ruru rowing and the Christchurch Girls’ High School 

sevens team were big winners.

Playcentre a step closer to old site 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

BELFAST Playcentre is a 

step closer to getting back 

to its original site after a fire 

destroyed the original building. 

On Friday the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board approved 

a request to have two trees 

removed from the centre’s land 

on Main North Rd to make way 

for a new relocatable building. 

Belfast Playcentre coordinator 

Julie O’Rourke 

said she was pleased with the 

decision as this was the second 

time the playcentre had applied 

to have the trees removed. 

“They’re really average trees, 

and we’ve asked to have them 

removed before, so this was the 

second go,” she said. 

“When those trees were there 

at our old centre, we used to 

have rodents coming into the 

building by climbing up the 

trees. They were a real health 

and safety issue for us, because 

we don’t want rat and things 

coming in.” 

The playcentre had been 

operating from the Spencerville 

Community Hub since a fire 

destroyed the centre a year ago. 

The blaze started when 

something was left on a hot 

stove at a five-year-old’s 

birthday party. 

HOME: After its building was destroyed by fire, the Belfast Playcentre has been holding 

classes at temporary sites like the Belfast Community Centre. 

Ms O’Rourke said that while 

she was grateful to be able to 

use the space, it had affected the 

playcentre’s roll. 

“We haven’t been able to get 

more people coming to the 

playcentre because most people 

are waiting for a building.” 

“Some of the time we just 

choose to go on outings, because 

it’s quite hard for our parents 

to actually physically get out to 

Spencerville. So parents who 

don’t have cars, it’s hard for 

them, so that’s why we go out 

so that we don’t lose contact 

with everybody.” She said the 

news that the trees were to be 

removed would be “great news” 

for the community. 

“It’s been really tricky, but the 

core group of parents have been 

really determined to rebuild, 

and everything I’ve heard 

from the community is parents 

are just waiting for it to be 

rebuilt.” 

She said there was no 

definitive time line for the tree 

removal, but she hoped the 

centre would be back up and 

running in time for the new 

year.

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

PAPANUI RESERVE MURAL 

Papanui High School is planning 

to display a mural in Bridgestone 

Reserve as part of the Papanui 

Bush revival project. The school 

is collaborating with the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board to produce 

the mural and work is expected to 

start next month once school exams 

have wrapped up. 

HILL ST BUS STOP UPGRADE 

Improvements will be made to 

a Hills Rd bus stop after public 

transport-users expressed concern 

over the condition of the stop. The 

Papanui-Innes Community Board 

has approved a grant of $3200 to 

install a new seat and road markings 

to make the bus stop adjacent to 

293 Hills Rd more comfortable and 

accessible. The improvements will 

also provide a clearer line of sight 

for bus drivers. The upgrade will 

remove two on-street car parks. 

PLUNKET OPENING DELAY 

The opening of the Redwood 

Plunket rooms has been delayed 

again. Work on the building was 

expected to be completed this 

month, but has been pushed back 

to December. The building was 

being repaired following damage 

from the earthquakes. The project 

was originally scheduled to be 

completed in June, but was 

delayed due to the discovery of black 

mould.

Love of Shakespeare gets Ruby to UK 

St Margaret’s 

student on 

stage at Globe 


THE WORK of William 

Shakespeare hasn’t always been a 

passion for St Margaret’s College 

student Ruby Anderson. 

But wanting to jump at any 

opportunity to perform, she 

was drawn into the playwright’s 

theatrical work when she 

took part in the national 

SGCNZ University of Otago 

Sheilah Winn Shakespeare 

festival last year. 

Now Ruby, 17, has been 

selected alongside Christchurch 

Rudolf Steiner School student 

Quinn Kueppers to travel to 

London to take part in an 

intensive theatre programme 

based around the Shakespeare’s 

work. 

Ruby said since taking part 

in the festival, she had fostered 

“such a love” for Shakespeare. 

In fact when she took part 

in it again this year, she was 

compelled to direct and perform 

a piece from Shakespeare’s 

comedy As You Like It alongside 

fellow student Emily Stewart. 

The work was recognised with 

a range of awards in both the 

ON STAGE: Quinn Kueppers (second from left) and St Margaret’s College student Ruby 

Anderson (third from left) performing William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew at the 

SGCNZ National Shakespeare Schools Production.

regional and national sections of 

the festival. “I think Shakespeare 

for young people is dubbed 

as non-relevant for people or 

maybe not accessible to a young 

generation but I think that 

stigma is just so wrong,” she said. 

She said the way his work has 

lasted so long throughout history 

is unlike any other author and 

it is a testament to his work and 

longevity. 

Ruby and Quinn will join 

24 students from around the 

country in the Shakespeare 

Globe Centre New Zealand 

Young Shakespeare Company. 

The students will travel to 

London in July. Quinn said just 

seeing London will be amazing, 

but he is looking forward to 

working with the directors and 

performing at the Globe Theatre 

the most. They were selected 

from 48 students who took 

part in the SGCNZ National 

Shakespeare Schools Production 

at Dunedin earlier this month. 

The 48 students were whittled 

down from 5000 who took part 

in a series of national SGCNZ 

University of Otago Sheilah 

Winn Shakespeare festivals. 

Ruby said she already has 

a good bond with the other 

students travelling to London 

and is excited to work with them 

again. “I am absolutely humbled 

I have been selected for such an 

opportunity,” she said. 

Established in 1991, the 

programme has seen 520 

students travel to Shakespeare’s 

Globe in London. The theatre 

is a reconstruction of the Globe 

Theatre which was built in 1599 

by Shakespeare’s company Lord 

Chamberlain’s Men. The twoweek 

theatrical programme will 

see the students take part in 12 

rehearsals with Globe director 

Tim Walker before they perform 

for the public.

Pokie player thought hold up was a joke 

• By Sophie Cornish 

WHEN AN armed robber 

ordered people playing the pokies 

to lie on the floor, Jenny Hogg 

thought it was a joke. 

But when Ms Hogg saw the 

offender’s firearm was not a toy 

gun like she first thought, she 

realised it was 

serious. 

Ms Hogg 

was playing 

the pokies on 

Tuesday night 

at Coasters 

Tavern in 

Redwood 

Jenny Hogg 

when three 

armed robbers 

held up the bar. 

During the ordeal shortly 

before 9pm, one patron, an 

elderly man, tried to wrestle 

with one of the robbers. It 

is believed he was hit in the 

forehead with the blunt end of a 

machete. 

Ms Hogg said he received a 

cut to his forehead. A woman in 

her 20s also received a fat lip, she 

said. 

A shot was fired during the 

ordeal, which lasted between five 

and eight minutes 

Ms Hogg said she believes the 

shot was fired at the roof. She 

said she tried to tell jokes and 

laugh to keep people calm. 

“I didn’t even realise everyone 

was lying on the floor. I thought 

this guy had walked in as a joke. I 

was still playing the pokies, then 

I turned around and everyone 

was on the floor and I thought 

‘oh, sh*t’, I better get on the floor. 

I was like ‘oh, you’re for real 

mate.” 

Detective Sergeant Brad 

Greenstreet said the men, 

who were armed with various 

weapons, including a machete 

and a firearm, threatened bar 

staff and patrons and demanded 

money. 

The men left in a stolen dark 

blue Mazda Familia hatchback 

before dumping it nearby and 

using a second vehicle to leave 

the area. 

They wore scarves over their 

faces and black hoodies. 

Detective Sergeant Greenstreet 

called the incident “violent and 

dangerous.” 

He said his advice for people 

in a situation like this would be 

to comply with the offender’s 

demands. 

“These things can escalate and 

get out of hand quickly.” 

ON THE CASE: 

A detective 

at the scene 

of the armed 

robbery at 

Coasters 

Tavern in 

Redwood. 

“It is fortunate more 

people were not seriously hurt.” 

Ms Hogg believes about $4000 

was taken. 

Goldi Group Ltd general 

manager Gareth Bull, a 

representative of the company 

that owns the tavern, said he 

would not comment as the 

robbery was under police 

investigation.

Teen to walk 

for charity in 

memory of 

grandmother 


A ST Andrew’s College student 

is set to take part in a charity 

walk to raise money for breast 

cancer, in honour of her 

grandmother who died from the 

disease. 

Year 13 student Amiee 

Bonniface will walk 10km in the 

Pink Star Walk on November 

10 to raise money for the Breast 

Cancer Foundation. 

Amiee’s grandmother 

Gweneth Parry died of breast 

cancer 16 years ago. 

She said the money raised 

from the walk would be used to 

fund vital research projects, promote 

early detection and support 

New Zealanders recovering from 

and living with breast cancer in 

New Zealand. 

Amiee has so far raised $365, 

surpassing her goal of $250. 

“We cannot do this alone but 

with your help we can make a 

difference,” she said.

Farewell to Shirley Boys’ stalwart 


A LARGE send off was held to 

honour long-serving Shirley 

Boys’ High School staff member 

John Fox. 

Mr Fox died at Christchurch 

Hospital on October 17 after 

battling a ongoing illness. 

He was farewelled with a 

service at Shirley Boys’ High 

School on Wednesday. 

More than 1100 students and 

about 500 old boys attended, plus 

staff. 

Headmaster John Laurenson 

said Mr Fox was a huge part of 

the school and meant a lot to the 

students and staff. 

He said a full school haka was 

performed for Mr Fox, which 

could be heard all the way back 

past The Palms Shopping Centre. 

Mr Fox had been heavily 

involved with the school for 

more than 18 years after his 

children attended Shirley Boy’s 

High in the late 1990s and early 

2000s. 

From about 2003, he 

was employed as the rugby 

development officer. 

He also managed and coached 

the school’s dragon boating 

team. 

Mr Laurenson said Mr Fox was 

“instrumental” in cross-country 

where he organised teams and 

was involved in the school’s 

athletics. 

He was the health officer at the 

school, looking after wellness 

and first aid, as well as liaising 

with the school’s guidance 

department. 

Mr Laurenson said his office 

was a place where students would 

go where they would be able to 

talk off the record and unload to 

someone who understood them 

when there were problems. 

“I would wander in and 

he and I would talk about 

inconsequential things but that 

acted as a sort of a release for me 

personally as well. That was the 

type of person he was.” 

Outside of school, family was a 

major part of Mr Fox’s life and he 

was secretary for the Canterbury 

Rugby Football Union where he 

managed multiple teams. 

He grew up in Auckland and 

attended Auckland Grammar 

School. 

He moved to Christchurch 

REMEMBERED: 

Long-serving

in the early 1990s to manage 

the Christchurch Football Club 

facility. 

Mr Fox fell ill several years 

ago, but was involved with the 

school until the end of term 3. 

He was then admitted to 

Christchurch Hospital. 

“Even with his failing kidneys, 

it never compromised his work 

. . . he was on the sideline in the 

weekends, organising things 

for the boys, he was all those 

things,” Mr Laurenson said.

ADVERTORIAL 

Former St Bede’s student 

wins top architecture award 

FORMER St Bede’s 

College student Matthew 

Durning has won a 

prestigious Australian 

urban design award. 

His project, Brisbane’s 

Fish Lane, won the 

landscape architecture 

award for urban design, 

which was presented by 

the Australian Institute of 

Landscape Architects. It 

will go alongside his earlier 

awards, including the 

Queensland urban design 

award and the Queensland 

minster’s award for urban 

design. 

Durning graduated from 

St Bede’s in 2005 and then 

completed a Masters in 

Landscape Architecture at 

Lincoln University before 

moving to Brisbane in 

2011 and then to Sydney 

with landscape architect 

company, RPS. 

Fish Lane is a vibrant 

inner-city laneway that 

connects Brisbane’s 

Cultural Centre and South 

Bank to the suburban West 

End. 

It has 17 retailers, 

including bars and 

restaurants, plus 35 pieces 

of public art. 

DESIGNER: Former St 

Bede’s College student 

Matthew Durning 

with the landscape 

architecture award for 

urban design. 

Durning said 

because Fish Lane is 

spread over four blocks 

with a multitude of 

private owners and the 

council, the need for a 

comprehensive stakeholder 

communication 

Year after year, the Pataka Country 

Christmas Shop, located at the north end of 

Marshland Road, warmly invites customers 

to enjoy a family-friendly experience 

leading up to the festive season, with 

children having the chance to choose their 

own Christmas 

decorations from 

their extensive 

selection. 

Housed in an 

historic brick apple 

coolstore and an 

adjacent farm 

building, Pataka 

offers Santas, 

snowglobes, musical 

features, nativity 

scenes and much 

more – all of them looking right at home 

in this lovely setting. There will be even 

more arriving too, as some stock has been 

delayed this year, so keep popping in over 

programme was 

paramount. 

“Because we were 

turning an unused space 

into a dynamic, 24-hour 

retail, hospitality and 

commercial area, we 

had to come up with a 

bold design to ensure a 

successful transformation,” 

he said. 

“We wanted to create an 

element of surprise and 

intrigue so decided to turn 

it into an ephemeral arts 

scape.” 

The judging panel said 

Fish Lane delivered a 

highly-curated urban 

experience, celebrating 

Brisbane’s unique lifestyle 

as an outdoor city. 

They also said it 

embraced four key design 

principles. It created a safe 

and legible pedestrianfocused 

street scape; 

desirable and inspiring 

sub-tropical spaces and 

places that are responsive 

to Brisbane’s climate; a 

canvas for sustainable 

innovation and creativity; 

and a venue for the local 

economy to thrive through 

distinct niche retail and 

commercial spaces.

Ouch! My feet hurt 

Are your feet feeling tired or hurting? Do 

you have corns or warts, calluses or fungus? 

People take their feet for granted, until they 

are in pain and then they will pay attention to 

them. 

Feet experience daily abuse from the way 

people walk off balance, neglect them and 

use them. We have all experienced pain from 

a pair of shoes that doesn’t fit properly, and 

which hinders our feet and their needed 

breathing room and protection. 

Until the pain in unbearable, most people 

forget about the value of their feet. 

Papanui Foot Clinic to the rescue!

solution for whatever is ailing your feet and to

feet, their team provides a full foot assessment

Dolphins, pile driving spark questions 


• By Matt Salmons 

THE BANKS Peninsula 

Community Board will ask the 

Lyttelton Port Company about 

its plan to manage the impact 

of pile driving on Hector’s 

dolphins. 

The board 

decided to 

question 

LPC after a 

presentation 

from Māui and 

Hector’s Dolphin 

Defenders 

Genevieve 

Robinson 

committee 

member 

Genevieve 

Robinson last week. 

She said she wanted to see 

LPC’s cruise berth design and 

marine mammal management 

plans made publicly available. 

She had questioned LPC on 

its plans and said most of her 

questions remained unanswered. 

Community board member 

Felix Dawson says the board 

wants to assist Ms Robinson in 

getting the answers she seeks as 

other will be concerned about 

the dolphins’ protection. 

“We wanted to help get the 

answers she wanted because 

it’s important if she’s correct. 

If there’s some doubt about the 

correct approach being taken . . . 

QUESTIONS: The Banks Peninsula Community Board is seeking information on LPC’s plan to 

minimise the impact of pile driving on dolphins. 

then we wanted to assist her.” 

The board’s questions will 

be combined with others from 

the city council. They will be 

sent this week through the 

city council’s investment arm, 

Christchurch City Holdings Ltd, 

which owns the port, said a city 

council spokeswoman. 

The spokeswoman would 

not say what the city council’s 

additional questions will be. 

Ms Robinson said she did not 

believe LPC was doing enough 

to prevent the negative effects of 

pile driving. 

“When they do pile driving, it 

makes a noise into the water. That 

is what concerns us regarding the 

dolphins’ hearing,” she said. 

LPC chief executive Peter 

Davie said the welfare of Hector’s 

dolphins was a priority during 

construction of the new berth. 

Marine pile driving is expected 

to start next month, while some 

land-based piling started earlier 

this year. Mr Davie said work 

needed to begin soon in the 

water to have the berth ready for 

the 2020/21 cruise season. 

Most piles will be installed 

between March and December 

next year. 

He said the size of the piles 

for the berth was smaller than 

initially planned to mitigate the 

effects of the noise on dolphins. 

“Modelling . . . shows underwater 

sound energy per pile will be 100 

times less,” Mr Davie said. 

However, Ms Robinson did 

not agree, saying the modelling 

would not provide an accurate 

measure of the sound generated. 

Mr Davie said LPC had 

undertaken recent noise 

measurements, but the data was 

“still being processed.” 

Mrs Robinson said using screw 

piling would generate “barely 

any noise” if it was used instead. 

Mr Davie said screw piling 

would not be strong enough to 

“create a seismically resilient 

wharf” which could berth the 

large cruise liners. 

Otago University marine 

science department head, 

professor Stephen Dawson, 

had conducted a study of earlier 

pile-driving operations in 

Lyttelton Harbour between 2014 

and 2015.Prof Dawson’s team 

positioned instruments around 

the harbour which were attuned 

to the frequency of the Hector’s 

dolphins’ echolocation. 

He said the instruments 

recorded fewer dolphins during 

pile driving. “It definitely denies 

habitat. That is a fact.” 

He said the underwater sound 

of those piles being driven in was 

at a similar level to a gunshot. 

That could cause deafness 

and change the behaviour of the 

dolphins. Prof Dawson said pile 

driving could see a substantial 

decrease in dolphin numbers.

75 years of looking after children 


ONE OF the city’s oldest 

pre-schools is on the search for its 

original class of 1943. 

The not-for-profit community 

run Avonside Early Childhood 

Centre is this year celebrating its 75 th 

year of offering quality education to 

children. 

The centre, on Woodham Rd, 

started in 1943 as the Avonside Girls 

High Nursery School, offering day 

care to working mothers. 

Established by pioneering psychologist, 

Doreen Dolton, the pre-school 

also gave high school students an opportunity 

to observe and take part in 

the care of children. 

On Saturday the centre will be 

marking its 75 th anniversary with a 

day of activities for children past and 

present. 

“We would love nothing more than 

to have some of the original class of ’43 

join us on November 3 to help cut our 

special 75 th birthday cake,” said senior 

teacher Sue Downey. 

“Like many pre-schools in the city’s 

east we struggled with numbers in 

the immediate aftermath of the 2011 

earthquake which forced a number of 

our families from the area. 

“Thanks to the ongoing support 

of our community, our roll is now 

healthier than ever, putting us in a 

great position to serve this area for 

another 75 years,” Mrs Downey said. 

The birthday party will feature a 

BACK IN TIME: The Avonside Early Childhood Centre is celebrating 75 

years of educating children. 

show from the Natural Pirate Magic 

crew, a bouncy castle, face painting 

and photos of teachers, children and 

their families. 

The celebration will begin at 10am 

with the Natural Magic Pirate puppet 

show. 

You need to have coins for a sausage 

sizzle and bake sale. 

The day has been made possible by 

the support of businesses including 

Hibbards Butchery, New World 

Stanmore, Woodham Road Pharmacy 

and Marcel and Bear.

Reality stars in Papanui for birthday 


WHAT BETTER way to 

celebrate your 50th birthday 

than with your favourite reality 

television stars? 

Papanui businessman Kim 

Buckley will fly Storage Wars 

stars Sally and Laurence Martin 

to New Zealand for his partner 

Mandy Rooney’s birthday next 

month. 

The Martin’s make their living 

buying and selling items at 

auction, and along with Storage 

Wars they have also starred in 

the spin-off show Baggage Battles. 

Mr Buckley, who owns a KB’s 

Bakery, said he and Ms Rooney 

met the couple in 2014 at their 

Los Angeles, California, antiques 

store Studio Antiques. 

“We met them after I had a 

heart attack over in America. It 

was only a wee one, but shortly 

after I’d gotten out of hospital we 

went to visit their shop,” he said. 

“I said to Mandy on the way 

to LA airport ‘why don’t we call 

in and see the Baggage Battles 

people and see if they are at there 

shop in El Segoda?’ It was right 

by the airport, so we called in . 

. . we all clicked straight away, 

Laurence thought I was his long 

lost brother.” 

Mr Buckley said he and Ms 

Rooney were not only fans of the 

Martin’s, but also good friends. 

“Every time we go to the US we 

go and see them, we’ve got to be 

quite good mates,” he said. 

He said he and Ms Rooney 

were not antique collectors. 

“We are more into bar 

memorabilia. But we like them 

for them, and that’s likewise, and 

just love their whole attitude. 

They are lovely people. Laurence 

is a bit eccentric, and Sally is just 

a lovely, happy-go-lucky lady.” 

He said the Martin’s had never 

been to New Zealand, but were 

looking forward to visiting. 

Mr Buckley said he and Ms 

Rooney met seven years ago 

through friends. 

“We didn’t actually like 

each other at first, but through 

lots of talking and getting 

to know each other things 

blossomed.” 

He said Laurence and Sally

fans Kim Buckley and Mandy Rooney after the

Martin would be among 

the estimated 170 people to 

attend Ms Rooney’s birthday 

celebrations. 

The Martin’s would arrive 

in Christchurch on November 

22 for Ms Rooney’s birthday 

on November 24 and stay until 

December 10. 

Free shuttles for New Brighton fireworks event 

FREE SHUTTLE buses will be 

made available on the night of 

New Brighton’s annual fireworks 

celebration to make it easier for 

the public getting to and from the 

event. 

A Slide’n’Ride offer is being prepared 

to help ease traffic around 

the fireworks event on Friday. 

The free shuttle buses will be 

running from Taiora QE II to 

New Brighton between 5pm and 

8pm. 

The buses will then depart New 

Brighton between 9.30pm and 

10.30pm. 

Every bus passenger over the 

age of five will get a complimentary 

ticket for a hydroslide ride 

at either Taiora QE II or at Jellie 

Park. 

City council events and art 

manager Karena Finnie said 

thousands of people will be 

heading to the event and it did 

not want them stuck in traffic for 

hours. 

“It’s bad for the environment 

and takes the gloss off the night,” 

she said.

FORMER ST Andrew’s College 

student Thomas Russel is 

not one to look back at past 

accomplishments as his rowing 

career takes off. 

The Avon rower has 

made the New Zealand 

elite team in his first 

season out of secondary 

school ranks. 

He was part of the 

national team which 

competed at the world 

championships in 

Bulgaria last month in 

the men’s four. 

The 19-year-old was 

in the St Andrew’s under-17 

coxed four which won gold at the 

Maadi Cup secondary schools’ 

regatta in 2017. 

Russel made the Southern 

RPC, he won silver as part of the 

New Zealand coxless four at the 

Junior World Championships last 

year and the under-23 coxless 

four which won a bronze in 

Poland in July. 

Russel is not one to let the 

quick success go to his head. 

“I haven’t sat down and had a 

look back at what I’ve achieved so 

SPORTS 

Russel on course 

for successful 

rowing future

Russel 

far, I just want to make the most 

of every opportunity in front of 

me,” he said. 

He started rowing in 2014 by 

following his mates to try it out. 

Russel credited the St 

Andrew’s coaches for his 

progression and success at 

Maadi Cup regattas. 

Russel was hopeful 

he would spend a lot of 

his time at Rowing New 

Zealand’s base at Lake 

Karapiro to continue his 

growth in the sport. 

Russel has plenty of 

familiar faces to help 

ease him into the elite 

squad with former crewmate 

Ben Taylor is also in his first year 

in the national set-up while top 

single-sculler Robbie Manson is a 

former StAC old boy. 

Russel said while the Tokyo 

Olympics was on his radar he 

has tried not to put too much 

pressure on himself. 

“I’m happy to just be part of 

the squad at this stage and if I’m 

picked for a boat for Tokyo that 

would be great, but for now, I just 

want to keep getting better,” he 

said. 

DETERMINED: Canterbury kendo players Masa Matsunami (left), Tania Butterfield and Kai 

Edwards all received medals at the South Island Kendo Championships at Papanui High School. 

Runner-up for Matsunami 

PAPANUI’S MASA Matsunami 

was forced to settle for second to 

clubmate and Cashmere High 

School student Kai Edwards 

at the South Island Kendo 

Championships at Papanui High 

School. 

Edwards won the men’s dan 

competition over his good friend 

Matsunami in spite of having less 

experience. 

The event also marked the 30th 

anniversary of the Canterbury 

club. 

Edwards, who was an 

apprentice with the New Zealand 

team at the world championships 

last month in South Korea, 

was able to defeat the more 

experienced Matsunami, who 

competed for New Zealand at the 

global event. 

It was one of a number of 

successes for the Canterbury 

club with Matsunami and Chris 

McGill combining to win the 

kata event together. 

Parklands’ Tania Butterfield 


finished fourth in the open 

women’s competition, while 

Cantabrians filled the podium 

in the open kyu event with Ryan 

Hamilton first, Eric George 

second and Martin Jiruska 

third. 

The Canterbury A team 

of Jinuska, Edwards and 

Matsunami were the victorious 

team. The Canterbury B team of 

George, Butterfield and Yuma 

Tamaki was third.

Hanleys Essential Dog Roll 

Essentials dog rolls have now rebranded to Hanleys Essential 

Dog Roll under owner Philippa Hanleys animal nutrition banner. 

Philippa has been making natural horse and dog food for over 

10 years and lives locally in Geraldine. 

Hanleys Essential Dog Roll are not just amazing meat. Philippas 

own amino acids blend from Nz whey protein concentrate 

are added along with organic minerals, rice and hemp seed oil 

from Canterbury. Hemp seed oil has been dubbed ‘nature’s 

most perfectly balanced oil’, due to its 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 

to Omega 3, deemed an essential requirement for long-term 

healthy nutrition. Brown rice flour and other organic minerals 

are also added, making the rolls full of clean protein and good 

fats. Hanleys contains 18% protein so next time you are buying 

your dog roll compare this figure. More protein means you 

need to feed less, so you are receiving far better value for 

money. Feed less and save more. 

It is not just about what is in the rolls. What is missing is also 

crucial. No preservatives or chemicals are added. Many pet 

owners probably do not realise how hard preservatives are 

on a dog’s kidneys and how much damage they may cause. The 

business mottos are: ‘enhance all health’ and ‘health before 

money’. 

Feed just a portion of normal supermarket rolls due to the 

superfood ingredients.

Delta rhythmic 

gymnast takes 

first national title 


BISHOPDALE’S Delta 

Rhythmic Gymnastics Club 

member Sarah Quinn became a 

national champion for the first 

time after a stellar competition 

at Tauranga. 

The 16-year-old, who goes to 

Villa Maria College and lives 

in West Melton, became the 

overall national champion at 

level nine. 

Sarah won the ribbon and 

ball competitions and was third 

in the clubs. Her consistency 

across all disciplines earned her 

the national title. 

“It was an amazing feeling, 

something I wasn’t expecting.” 

Sarah started gymnastics nine 

years ago just to try it out and 

has not looked back. 

She trained for more than 

15 hours a week in the lead-up 

to the competition and was 

delighted with the overall result. 

Sarah said she enjoys using 

the clubs. “I always enjoyed 

learning new routines with 

them and it was something I 

learnt quickly,” she said. 

She will now turn her 

attention to winning a level 10 

title next year at the nationals 

to add another golden moment 

to her rhythmic gymnastics 

CV. 


PAPANUI’S Jimmy Wihongi 

and Shirley’s Kingston Dempsey 

were two of the big winners 

at the Canterbury Rugby 

League awards night at the 

Hornby Workingman’s Club on 

Friday. 

Wihongi won the 19s 

sportsman of the year, while 

Dempsey was named 19s rookie 

of the year. 

Linwood Keas celebrated their 

successful season by scooping a 

number of awards, while Hornby 

and Halswell also had plenty to 

celebrate. 

The Keas’ men’s and women’s 

teams both won their respective 

premier competitions this 

season. 

The club won the Poore Cup 

for the most teams making and 

winning finals across all grades. 

Keas second rower Sui 

Pauaraisa, who made her New 

Zealand and Warriors women’s 

debut this season, was named 

sportswoman of the year. 

Keas teammate Cassie Siataga 

was named most outstanding 

women’s player. Siataga was also 

commended as the top pointsscorer 

in the club competition 

with 130 – 10 tries and 45 

goals. 

Keas president Hana Kakoi 

won the R C Reddock Trophy, 

club president of the year.

after a great season 

in Keas colours.

REAL ESTATE 

You asked for it ... we found it! 

103 Penruddock Rise, Westmorland 

Auction: Thursday, 8 November 2018 - unless sold prior 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 2 living rooms | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number BE193132 

On a flat 938 sq m section, with 

magnificent views encompassing rolling 

hills, city lights and the Southern alps, 

and all on a single level with easy drive-on 

access; this Westmorland property has a list 

of requirements we often see and can seldom 

fulfill, with demand always outstripping 

supply. The beautifully finished executive 

home is spacious and well laid out with 

multiple choices of living and entertaining 

zones, indoors and out. With solar panels 

installed to maximize the home’s fantastic 

exposure to all day sun, it’s no wonder our 

vendors are only reluctantly relinquishing 

their much loved home to relocate north. 

A centerpiece kitchen sits at the heart of 

the home, with sleek stainless steel benches, 

custom built charcoal joinery and 900 wide 

free standing range. From here you can 

preside over two separate living areas, the 

dining room and three different outdoor 

decks, not to mention panoramic views. 

The design is perfect for family living 

and entertaining with the areas able to be 

separated off when required for a more 

intimate feel. Each of the outdoor spaces 

has a different aspect, making it easy to find 

a sheltered spot in the sun at any time. 

There are four bedrooms, the master 

being particularly spacious, with walkin 

robe and ensuite. Both bathrooms are 

elegantly finished with extensive tiling 

and modern wall hung vanities. There is a 

separate laundry and a double garage with 

internal access. Raised vege planters are 

currently flourishing with home grown 

produce, testament to the unique hillside 

micro climate and just one more reason to 

come for the views and stay for the lifestyle.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartments suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking t operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bigger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
