Agonising
time for fire
devastated
couple
• By Anan Zaki
A RETIRED couple are reeling
after a devastating fire destroyed
their Halswell home on Labour
Day.
Derek Petch, 75, and his partner
Marie Musson, 84, had lived
together at the Alvaston Dr house
for 12 years. The fire started at
about 4.15pm in the rear unit of
the two-unit section.
Ms Musson was taken to hospital
on the day for precautionary
checks. Speaking the day after the
fire, she could not hold back the
tears.
“It’s just hit me, that’s our home
gone,” Ms Musson said.

Campaign
to clean
up Kyle
Park gets
results
• By Anan Zaki
HORNBY’S KYLE Park is finally
getting the clean up locals have
been campaigning for.
Western News reported on the
overgrown weeds at the park in
September following complaints
from the Christchurch City BMX
Club.
The city council announced last
week it has begun removing the
weeds at the park.
The club’s track manager
Michael Stronach previously
said the weeds at the park were
“disgraceful”, and that it had been
neglected since asbestos fencing
was put up in 2015.
City councillor Vicki Buck
said a maintenance programme
started on Thursday.
The maintenance plan consists
of mowing, fence-line spraying
and weed control. The park will
be mowed twice a month.
Mr Stronach was delighted that
the city council had listened to the
BMX club and Hornby residents.
“It’s always good when you get
a result. It’s good for the community
not just the BMX club,”
he said.

THAT’S A well deserved honour for Jeff
Whittaker on page 16 today.
Jeff has been made a life member of the
Canterbury Rugby League for the fantastic
work he has put in for the code over the
decades, both as a player and later a behind the scenes man.
He was part of the great Halswell side of the mid-80s, coached
by the late ‘Herman’ Williams, memorable for two great grandfinals
when the mercurial Phil Bancroft kicked field goals to
snatch victories over arch rivals Hornby in 1985 and 87.
I can still see one of those goals taken from just over 50m, the
ball wobbling its way towards the goalposts, Bancroft raised
arm, fist clenched in a victory salute.
Those were the days.

Slower speeds likely for Templeton
• By Anan Zaki
TEMPLETON residents are a
step closer to getting their wish
of slower speeds in the area.
City council staff have recommended
that 100 km/h roads in
Templeton should be reduced to
80 km/h.
The
Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton
Community
Board
is set to vote
on the staff
Garry Kilday
recommendation
today.
The affected
roads are – Dawsons, Hasketts,
Jones, Kirk, Leggett, Maddisons,
Newtons and Waterloo Rds.
Western News reported last
year that Templeton residents
believed the existing 100km/h
speed limits are an “accident
waiting to happen.”
Templeton Residents’ Association
chairman Garry Kilday
welcomed the new recommendation.
“For example on Kirk Rd,
after coming into the 50 km/h
area from the 100km/h area,
people still do 100km/h,” Mr
Kilday said.
Reducing Kirk Rd to 80km/h
would discourage drivers from
speeding through a 50km/h
area, he said.
Some roads are too narrow
for the 100km/h speed limit, Mr
Kilday said.
“Maddisons Rd is not a true
road. It’s a dirt road that’s been
tar sealed.”
A city council report said because
of the speed limit reductions
by Selwyn District Council
earlier this year, the area had a
variation of speed limits, which
may be confusing to motorists.
Some rural roads such as
Newtons Rd, was too narrow,
had no hard shoulders and
no road markings, a 100km/h
speed limit, the report said.
“These speed limit changes are
proposed primarily for safety
and consistency,” the report
stated.
Automobile Association, NZ
Transport Agency, police and
the Selwyn District Council
supported the proposed speed
limit changes.
Installing the new speed
signs across Templeton will
cost $30,000, and the funding is
sourced from the city council’s
traffic operations signs and road
marking budget.
Should the changes be approved
by the community
board, it will take about six
weeks to complete.
SLOW: Speed limits of
100km/h on some Templeton
roads could be reduced to
80km/h.
CRASH DATA:
Dawsons Rd: One serious
and three minor/non-injury
crashes.
Hasketts Rd: One fatal,
two serious and six minor/
non-injury crashes.
Jones Rd: One fatal, seven
serious and 17 minor/noninjury
crashes.
Kirk Rd: Nine minor/ noninjury
crashes.
Leggett Rd: No crashes.
Maddisons Rd: Two serious
and four minor/noninjury
crashes.
Newtons Rd: One fatal,
two minor/non-injury
crashes.
Waterloo Rd: One serious
and 23 minor/non-injury
crashes.

ROAD CHANGES LIKELY
The intersection of Annex and
Blenheim Rds in Middleton
may soon have a no U-turn
restriction. A city council staff
recommendation says that there
have been concerns raised by the
public about the safety at the intersection.
A city council report
said when motorists travelling
on Blenheim Rd towards Annex
Rd perform a U-turn, it causes
confusion for left-turning motorists
from Annex Rd. Main South
Rd could also get two no-right
turn and U-turn restrictions.
City council staff recommended
that the restrictions be placed
the road’s two intersections with
Harvard Ave and Green Lane.
The decisions will be voted on by
the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board today.

GUTTED:
A fire
destroyed
two houses
on Alvaston
Drive,
Halswell, on
Labour Day.
Couple reeling after
Halswell house fire
•From page 1
The couple said they received
countless messages of support
and were staying at a relative’s
home.
They only had the clothes on
their backs and a handful of
items firefighters could salvage.
“The firemen were bringing
pictures off the walls and
jewellery all out for us,” Mr Petch
said.
Ms Musson often sat by the
window during the day and saw
many people walk past her house.
“People used to stop everyday
and stop and wave to me. I just
wish people could know that I’m
alright,” Ms Musson said.
Mr Petch said the fire spread in
a matter of minutes after a panel
heater that was against a couch
was accidentally turned on by a
child. The rear unit was occupied
by a young family of five.
When the fire started, Mr
Petch went to the rear unit to
help evacuate a nine-month-old
baby.
At the time, only the couch was
on fire.
“I went to get a hose, and when
I returned, in a minute, it [the
fire] had spread from the couch
to the whole [living] room,” Mr
Petch said.
“In four minutes the whole
place was engulfed,” he said.
The fire spread from the rear
unit into the roof of the front.
The ceiling fell down and most of
their furniture was damaged by
water from the fire hoses.
No one was injured in the fire.
Kyle Park to be cleaned up
•From page 1
However, Mr Stronach was
disappointed he only got the
result after going public.
“It’s been [overgrown] for two
years now so they [city council]
obviously weren’t listening to
people before,” he said. “Maybe
the publicity around the
Denton Park community centre
might have helped. It’s put the
whole area in
the limelight,”
Mr Stronach
said.
But people
shouldn’t have
to go public
to keep basic
Marc Duff
maintenance,
he said. “This
is part of what we pay our rates
for, isn’t it?”
Prior to the maintenance
programme, the BMX club had
to remove the weed to improve
the appearance of the park, Mr
Stronach said.
Greater Hornby Residents’
Association chairman Marc
Duff welcomed the Kyle Park
maintenance programme. “It’s
outstanding news. There has
been concerns about Kyle Park
for quite a while,” he said. “And
it’s good for BMX Club because
they get a lot of visitors from
around the South Island,” Mr
Duff said.

pleased with the announcement Kyle Park will be cleaned.

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.

Riccarton High celebrates 60 years
• By Anan Zaki
RICCARTON HIGH School is
turning 60 tomorrow.
The co-ed school opened on
October 31, 1958, with a roll of
142 students.
For the celebration, the school
organised tours for past alumni
on Saturday and a get-together at
Riccarton Racecourse.
Principal Neil Haywood said
there had been a lot of interest in
the celebrations with 260 people
registered for the tour and 230
people registered for the supper.
Mr Haywood said celebrating
the school’s birthday is a time to
not only reflect but look to the
future.
“In terms of our school, the
words for the old boys and old
girls of the school is the school is
in good heart and there are some
exciting developments coming to
the school,” he said.
Though no plans have been
confirmed, the school is planning
to replace its older buildings
starting from 2020.
But the school ruled out open
plan classrooms.
The values of the school have
also not been forgotten, Mr Haywood
said.
“What we call the Riccarton
way is still very strong in the

education Chris Nielson and head girl Apoorva Patelkhana, 17.
value-based system that underpins
everything we do.”
The school’s values are respect,
commitment, excellence and
honesty, he said.
“It’s something we believe
in, something quite genuine
amongst the school community,”
Mr Haywood said.
A strong point for the school
throughout its history has been
it’s multiculturalism, he said.
“To be multicultural is a real
asset to us . . . it brings with it
some challenges, increasing
number of students who need
intensive English support,” Mr
Haywood said.
“But having such a dynamic,
diverse community with more
than 50 ethnicities,” he said.

Survey a bid to help evacuation plan
• 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
Matthew
Hughes
response that took
place following
the magnitude 7.8
earthquake nearly
two years ago.
Matthew Hughes, one of
the academics overseeing the
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 the really crucial part of
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
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.

Eco-Warriors in national final
• By Anan Zaki
AN OAKLANDS School
team has made it to the final
of a national problem solving
competition.
The team, named Eco-
Warriors, entered the Future
Problem Solving New Zealand
competition in March.
They had to
solve a community
problem
and the
Eco-Warriors
chose to focus
on waste reduction
in the
Caroline
Martin
community.
The team
is made up of
nine pupils aged between nine
and 11 years-old.
Eco-Warriors coach and Oaklands
School deputy principal
Caroline Martin said the idea
was to encourage pupils to take
action in the community.
“We looked at newspaper articles,
including the Western News
and we just looked at issues in
the community. It was around
that time that supermarkets
were saying they were going to
do away with plastic bags,” Mrs
Martin said.
The team then researched on

plastic, what damage it causes to
oceans and landfills.
“The kids decided they would
try to get rid of plastic rubbish
from our school and our community,”
Mrs Martin said.
Regardless of the result, the
team were proud to have made a
difference, she said.
“We cleaned Westlake Park
and are we’re now discussing
putting signs up on the park
explaining the birds in the area,”
Mrs Martin said.
The team also held rubbish
free lunchtimes, sold reusable
bags and held presentations to
educate the community.
The final will be held from
Friday to Sunday in Auckland.
To enter the final the Eco-
Warriors had to put in a submission
highlighting why they
should be in the final.
In the final, the team have to
create a display board, a scrapbook
and an oral presentation
about their projects.
If the team win the
competition they will qualify
to compete in the international
final in Massachusetts, United
States.

Love of Shakespeare gets Ruby to UK
St Margaret’s
student on
stage at Globe
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
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
regional and national sections of
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

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
SCHOOLS
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 two-week theatrical
programme will see the students
take part in 12 rehearsals with
Globe director Tim Walker
before they perform for the
public.

Ratepayers’ front up for board
Fire rages, homes at risk
meeting food
WHAT HAS BEEN SPENT
ON FOOD:
• By Anan Zaki
COMMUNITY board members
have chomped through just
over $49,000 of biscuits, candy
and savouries since they were
elected.
The biggest spender was
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board.
The nine members have
eaten food to the value of
$10,000.
That is the catering bill
ratepayers have funded for
community board meetings since
the election in 2016.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board chairman
Mike Mora defended the
expenses.
He said
catering at
meetings is a
“necessity.”
Community
boards meet
every two to
three weeks,
Mike Mora
but take a
recess from
January to December.
“I don’t think it’s right for
people sitting for two or three
hours with hunger pains,” Mr
Mora said.
Mr Mora said the food was
also available to city council staff
members and members of the
public who attended meetings.
“Personally, I think it’s for
the wider benefit of everybody
who attends the meeting to
be able to have a sandwich, a
savoury or a bit of fruit,” Mr
Mora said.
Board deputy chairwoman
Helen
Broughton
was “shocked”
to learn her
board was the
top spender.
She said the
Helen
Broughton
board will
discuss the
food expenses
in two weeks.
“We’re going to have to have
a serious discussion – does it
continue at all or does it continue
at a lesser level?” Ms Broughton
said. “It’s far too much to be
spending,” she said.
Ms Broughton also said the
board never made it clear to
members of the public attending
meetings they could share in
the food. Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood
Community
Board spent
the least on
catering.
The board
only caters
for meetings
Sam
MacDonald
which have a
“substantial”
agenda or if
it is combined with other
boards.
Chairman Sam MacDonald
said the board decided early into
its current term that catering
meetings was not a good use of
ratepayers’ money.
“I think the reality is that in
any workplace, [catering is] not
something that’s readily available
or readily offered.”
Mr MacDonald said the food
that’s usually provided are
biscuits and lollies.
“We were just cognisant of
the fact that in the end, we
represent the community and
are outcomes focused
and we need to be mindful
with ratepayers’ funds,” Mr
MacDonald said.
A variety of caterers are used
by the community boards, and
sometimes the food is purchased
from supermarkets, city council
head of community support,
governance and partnership John
Filsell said.

Southern ChiropraCtiC
3 kennedys bush rd, halswell (upstairs)
Chiropractic treatment promotes
wellness and happiness
Southern Chiropractic specialist André
Grob loves nothing more than to help
people.
With 17 years of experience treating
people with a range of spinal problems,
he has a deep understanding of the
value and benefits that his chiropractic
practice can offer clients experiencing
pain.
A high percentage of the patients
André treats suffer from lower back
and neck pain, followed closely by mid
back pain. He says some pain such
as headaches or shoulder pain often
comes from other places, and it’s
about finding and treating the source.
André believes that not only does
chiropractic treatment help relieve pain
but when applied regularly it also helps
promote an overall feeling of wellness
and happiness.
“When clients first come to the clinic,”
says André, “the first thing I do is to
take the time to find out what the
problem is. The aim is to treat the pain
and make them comfortable.” Once
the patient is better, he says it’s then
up to the patient to decide if they want
to come back for further or regular
chiropractic treatment. This could
be weekly, monthly or bi-annually
depending on what they want.
André says that in the USA chiropractic
treatment is listed third among the
most beneficial natural therapies
available. Used as an ongoing
preventative treatment, it offers a
holistic approach to overall wellbeing.
Keeping up with the latest trends and
developments in his field is vital to
André; however, he says it’s about
what works best for his clients. He
offers not only hands-on manipulation
of the spine but also soft tissue
massage, which some patients prefer.
He also utilises the modality of laser
treatment to assist the traditional
approach and an activator instrument,
which can be used more precisely
instead of hands.
Over the years André has successfully
treated an extensive client base
with ages ranging from school-age
children through to 90+ year-olds. He
enjoys the down-to-earth professional
relationships he has with each patient
and says delivering the chiropractic
service and getting people better is
what it’s all about.
Also, if he can’t help, he will refer his
patients to a professional who can.
If you have back pain and are looking for a committed, passionate, and caring chiropractic practitioner, call André today on 03 322 1432. Based in halswell at 3 Kennedys Bush Road,
Southern Chiropractic also runs a clinic every Tuesday in Ashburton.

Horrack on Parker’s under-card
Strikeforce boxer training
for bout on December 15
• By Jacob Page
HALWELL’S Strikeforce boxer
Bjorn Horrack will trade a roof
for the ring to be on the undercard
for Joseph Parker’s bout
against United States-Mexican
Alexander Flores at Horncastle
Arena.
The 29-year-old is a roofer
by trade but has competed in
boxing, kickboxing and mixed
martial arts since he was 21.
He will take on fellow
Cantabrian Quintin Poole on
December 15 at the Round 12
Boxing and Fitness Centre in the
central city.
Horrack will compete in a
corporate bout consisting of
three 2min rounds.
“The talk is we’ll be opening
the night, which is a bit of fun,”
he said. “I’ll have a few mates
going so it’ll be great to be out
there.”
Cantabrians Bowyn Morgan
(18-1) – a two-weight national
champion and IBO Asia Pacific
welterweight champion –
and Nort Beauchamp (17-2),
who is the IBO Oceania super
featherweight champion, will
also be on the card.
The former Cashmere High
School student practiced jiu jitsu
in his early 20s at the Strikeforce
Gym before taking an MMA
bout on a week’s notice for his
first taste of competitive combat.
“I’d always loved mixed
martial arts and have combined
that with kickboxing and boxing
over the years,”
Horrack last competed on
the Pacific Warrior II card
at the Hagley Events Centre
last month. But he said the
upcoming bout would be the
biggest of his life.
“Obviously there will be a few
more people having a look and
tuning in to see how we go,” he
said.
Horrack, who weighs in at
100kg, said he expected to give
up at least 30kg to Poole.
He said he had a few options
on how to combat his opponent’s
size and one was to simply try to
outlast him.
“He’ll try to use his size to lean
on me and make things difficult,
but the longer it goes, it may
work in my favour.”
Coach Steve Brown said
Horrack had a big heart and
they would be working on not
only his physical preparation but
also a mental approach to deal
with boxing at a big event.

Delta rhythmic
gymnast takes
first national title
• By Jacob Page
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 (right)
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.

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.
Open Home Saturday 3rd and Sunday
4th November 4:00pm - 4.30pm.

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.”

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
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
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
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en
September-May along with a Thai
f od truck.

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils
have taken a step back in time,
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 bi ger 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-

Templeton.
Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the
board on Thursday it had the okay
from the city council to make a
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies
for a resource consen to create a

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 quarries
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
