Pensioners last chance to save bus route<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
FRUSTRATED residents of a<br />
Mairehau retirement village will<br />
have one last chance to get a bus<br />
to stop on their doorstep.<br />
Diana Isaac Retirement<br />
Village residents have been<br />
fighting since March to get the<br />
No 44 bus to stop at their village<br />
after Environment Canterbury<br />
decided to re-route the Orbiter<br />
which previously ran past it.<br />
ECan said last month it would<br />
not re-route the No 44 through<br />
some residential streets, leaving<br />
residents of the retirement village<br />
having to travel 1km to the<br />
nearest bus stop.<br />
But ECan will meet again with<br />
the residents tomorrow to hear<br />
their concerns.<br />
The re-route would have<br />
included travelling to and from<br />
Innes Rd via Philpotts Rd,<br />
Glenfield Cres, Roslyn Ave,<br />
Croziers Rd, Ranger St and<br />
MEETING: Diana Isaac Retirement<br />
Village residents will meet with ECan<br />
tomorrow to voice their concerns about<br />
the proposed bus route changes.<br />
Nancy Ave.<br />
Retirement village resident<br />
Graham Tate said he was<br />
surprised when ECan announced<br />
the route would not change, as it<br />
had given a “strong indication”<br />
that it would.<br />

Congestion<br />
concerns<br />
over<br />
removal of<br />
Langdons<br />
Rd parking<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
A PROPOSAL to remove<br />
on-street car parking along<br />
Langdons Rd could cause<br />
congestion on residential side<br />
streets.<br />
The Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board will vote on<br />
whether to approve the proposal<br />
to remove the parking from part<br />
of Langdons Rd in front of a new<br />
retail development.<br />
Community board member<br />
John Stringer said he would vote<br />
against the change.<br />
“No parking road restrictions<br />
in front of the second stage<br />
of Langdons Rd retail<br />
development will push street<br />
parking onto residential side<br />
streets.”<br />
Mr Stringer said he thought<br />
residents in the area would be<br />
firmly against the proposal.<br />
“It only repeats the issues<br />
confronting Marble Wood<br />
Drive residents on Harewood<br />
Rd, where time limits are now<br />
proposed because of heavy<br />
parking in that cul-de-sac.”<br />
He recently voiced his concerns<br />
over the changes and upgrades<br />
happening in the Papanui area.<br />

JOHN STRINGER continues to go into bat<br />
for Papanui.<br />
The community board member speaks<br />
out in our weekly Soapbox column on<br />
page 8 today over what he says are “intrusive<br />
city council processes.” Stringer says there’s<br />
far too much bureaucracy and reports from city council HQ in<br />
Hereford St, which is strangling Papanui.<br />
He goes as far as to say the city council “must be careful it does<br />
not become a bureaucratic staff-driven ‘earthquake’ in one of<br />
Christchurch’s oldest residential suburbs.”<br />
Stringer doesn’t always endear himself to his fellow Papanui-<br />
Innes Community Board members.<br />
That’s because he speaks out publicly and what he says doesn’t<br />
always agree with the thinking of others.<br />
But that, as I’ve said before, is democracy.<br />

Residents want truck ban<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
TRUCKS COULD be banned<br />
from some Belfast streets if<br />
residents get their way.<br />
It comes after a Sefton<br />
St resident approached the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board to voice<br />
concerns over trucks driving<br />
through and parking on her<br />
street.<br />
Community<br />
board<br />
chairman Sam<br />
MacDonald<br />
said staff<br />
would look<br />
into options<br />
for heavy vehicle<br />
restrictions<br />
Sam<br />
MacDonald<br />
on Sefton St,<br />
Englefield Rd<br />
and Lagan St.<br />
“Ali has<br />
been working with Harewood<br />
councillor Aaron Keown on<br />
her concerns over the impacts<br />
of heavy vehicles in Sefton and<br />
neighbouring streets,” he<br />
said.<br />
“As is normal practice we have<br />
asked our roading engineers to<br />
look into the issue and consider<br />
any options that may be available.<br />
Staff will report back to the<br />
board on this.”<br />
OPTIONS: Residents in Belfast want to impose heavy vehicle restriction to prevent trucks from<br />
driving through their residential streets.<br />
Belfast Area Residents’ Association<br />
member Gavin Stanbury<br />
said trucks in residential streets<br />
had been an issue for “many<br />
years”.<br />
“There are a number of small<br />
side streets that are being used<br />
by the trucks . . . the trucks often<br />
take short-cuts, especially if the<br />
main roads had heavy traffic<br />
and they want to get somewhere<br />
quickly,” he said.<br />
“If they park on one side of a<br />
street, it makes it very difficult<br />
for cars to get past as the streets<br />
are quite narrow.”<br />
He said he and other<br />
residents had approached the<br />
council about the issue in the<br />
past.<br />
“We’ve had members of our<br />
association phone up and complain,<br />
it happens every now and<br />
again, and it goes away<br />
OPTION<br />
for a wee<br />
ONE<br />
while then it comes back again.<br />
It’s not a permanent solution.”<br />
Mr Stanbury said he didn’t<br />
think the use of side streets by<br />
trucks would continue for much<br />
longer.<br />
“Because we’ve got the new<br />
Western Belfast Bypass, there<br />
are more trucks using that now.<br />
There aren’t quite as many using<br />
Belfast if they’re going into town<br />
or to Lyttelton.”<br />

Langdons Rd parking woes<br />
•From page 1<br />
Mr Stringer was particularly<br />
concerned about the Main North<br />
Rd bus priority project.<br />
He said the on-street parking<br />
changes would “wreck” Papanui<br />
village and turn it into a<br />
thoroughfare.<br />
Papanui Business Community<br />
member and Super<br />
Liquor owner Carolyn<br />
Moffat said<br />
businesses in the<br />
area had already<br />
experienced issues<br />
with staff parking<br />
Pauline<br />
Cotter<br />
on side streets.<br />
“Further up<br />
Langdons Rd, that’s<br />
where a lot of staff would be<br />
parking and so if you’re removing<br />
that parking, you’re forcing<br />
people into those side streets,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Staff at businesses around here<br />
are not allowed to park in the<br />
customer car parks . . . you’ll end<br />
up getting residents wanting time<br />
restrictions in those side streets.”<br />
Innes Ward city councillor<br />
Pauline Cotter said she hoped the<br />
new retail development would<br />
provide sufficient car parking for<br />
the area.<br />
“The new development will<br />
provide 754 car parks, including<br />
18 disability parks, which is<br />
massive. Currently, I think a lot<br />
of the car parking on the street<br />
is being used by contractors<br />
working on the site, so I don’t<br />
know if it will be an issue once<br />
construction finishes.”<br />
Papanui Ward city councillor<br />
Mike Davidson said the proposal<br />
will go out for consultation before<br />
a decision is made.<br />
“Any decisions on this stretch<br />
of Langdons Rd needs to follow<br />
correct process, which includes<br />
engaging and consulting with the<br />
community before any decision is<br />
made by the community board.<br />
Naturally, I want the road to be<br />
safe and accessible for everyone<br />
in the community,” he said.<br />
“As shown with the Main<br />
North Rd bus priority project,<br />
this community board values<br />
consultation and the input from<br />
NO SPACE:<br />
On-street<br />
car parking<br />
could be<br />
removed<br />
from part of<br />
Langdons<br />
Rd if the<br />
Papanui-<br />
Innes<br />
Community<br />
Board<br />
approves<br />
a new<br />
proposal.<br />
community.”<br />
Langdons Rd Barnardos<br />
Christchurch spokeswoman<br />
said the loss of on-street parking<br />
would greatly affect people who<br />
use their services.<br />
“With a staff of around 30-40<br />
per day and four meeting rooms<br />
we continuously have clients<br />
rolling through for meetings.<br />
We also hold supervised sessions<br />
where one party needs a secure<br />
close point for drop off and often<br />
because of the high security<br />
risk we need to visually note the<br />
visiting party is not on site at the<br />
same time,” she said.<br />
“We also hold group<br />
programmes, large<br />
multidisciplinary huis, and<br />
trainings. So parking is already<br />
an issue for our staff and clients.”<br />

Rangi’s Movember breakfast<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students had a “fantastic”<br />
morning at their Movember father daughter breakfast<br />
on Thursday. Speaking through a bushy pink moustache,<br />
principal Sandra Hastie said “everyone had a lot of fun<br />
and a total of $1550 was raised, which is fantastic”. MC<br />

Last week I presented my<br />
submission in Parliament to<br />
save the Northern Christchurch<br />
motorway extension. National’s<br />
announcement last year of a<br />
four-lane highway from Belfast<br />
to Pegasus, with separation of<br />
traffic from the other direction<br />
and a Woodend Bypass, was<br />
greeted with relief by motorists<br />
and residents. However, with<br />
the current Government’s shift<br />
in priorities to Auckland public<br />
transport, the motorway was left<br />
off NZTA’s 10-year plan. We are<br />
enjoying significant results from<br />
the Greater Christchurch motorway<br />
projects delivered under National<br />
and Government needs to commit<br />
to this second stage.<br />
I enjoyed visiting mental-health<br />
service providers in Christchurch<br />
as Mental Health Spokesperson<br />
to see how we can do better<br />
in strengthening wellbeing and<br />
developing robust policies around<br />
suicide prevention, and supporting<br />
agencies working on the ground.<br />
Community broadcasters in<br />
Canterbury are important cultural<br />
resources and play a valuable<br />
role in our communities. I enjoyed<br />
taking part in SEWN’s Party Talk<br />
panel discussion in Christchurch<br />
with other National Party MPs on<br />
how our policies can support noncommercial<br />
broadcasters while<br />
ensuring transparency.<br />
This weekend I will be at<br />
the National Party stand at the<br />
Canterbury A&P Show, so please<br />
pop in to say hello or let me know<br />
if you would like to meet me in my<br />
Belfast office around any issue. It’s<br />

$140m retirement home for Redwood<br />
Burlington<br />
set to open<br />
in March<br />
LIFESTYLE: The $140 million<br />
Burlington retirement<br />
village will open in March at<br />
Redwood.<br />
A NEW $140 million retirement<br />
village, led by well-known<br />
businessman and Ryman<br />
Healthcare founder John Ryder,<br />
will open in March in Redwood.<br />
Burlington is a high-end<br />
lifestyle village – the second<br />
to be opened in Christchurch<br />
by Qestral Corporation – led<br />
by Mr Ryder<br />
as executive<br />
chairman and<br />
managing<br />
director Simon<br />
O’Dowd,<br />
a national<br />
chairman of the<br />
NZ Aged Care<br />
Association.<br />
John Ryder<br />
Set on 14ha,<br />
Burlington<br />
features 3ha of<br />
man-made lakes.<br />
The company is incorporating<br />
innovative architecture and<br />
new technical and recreational<br />
concepts – with large footprints<br />
for independent, stand alone,<br />
two and three-bedroom houses.<br />
Qestral also owns the popular<br />
Alpine View Lifestyle Village in<br />
Waitikiri, where development is<br />
drawing to a close.<br />
Mr Ryder says the Burlington<br />
site is close to Main North<br />
Rd with easy access to retail<br />
facilities. “It is probably the<br />
most exciting retirement village<br />
development that I have been<br />
involved in – and I have been<br />
involved in a few.”<br />
Designed by architects Kerry<br />
Mason and Huia Rerita of +MAP<br />
Architects, Burlington comprises<br />
200 houses, a 60-bed, standalone<br />
rest home and hospital<br />
centre, a 20-bedroom dementia<br />
care complex and 40 serviced<br />
apartments.<br />
It will also include a lodge and<br />
clubhouse with a hairdresser, bar,<br />
restaurant, bakery, church, movie<br />
theatre, gymnasium and indoor<br />
swimming pool. Burlington will<br />
be offering apartments in the<br />
care and dementia units.<br />
Construction is well under<br />
way. Mr O’Dowd says the<br />
retirement village market is<br />
changing rapidly.<br />
“People want something<br />
individual and different – they<br />
want on-site facilities, and design<br />
they can be personally proud<br />
of, with plenty of space but the<br />
very best in integrated care. We<br />
are not cramping the site and<br />
will have no buildings over two<br />
storeys high.”<br />
Mr Ryder has experience as the<br />
joint chief executive of Ryman<br />
Healthcare for 18 years, while<br />
Mr O’Dowd has led the NZ Aged<br />
Care Association for 22 years.<br />

MacFarlane<br />
Park damaged<br />
by fireworks<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
THE NEW MacFarlane Park<br />
Centre has been the target of<br />
irresponsible firework use.<br />
In a Facebook post, the<br />
Shirley Community Trust said<br />
scorch marks had been found<br />
on the centre’s new car parking<br />
area after Guy Fawkes night on<br />
December 5.<br />
It also said used fireworks had<br />
been littered all over MacFarlane<br />
Park.<br />
“Today, three lovely ladies<br />
went and removed seven bags<br />
of firework rubbish off the park<br />
area. This area of the park is<br />
used on Wednesday afternoons<br />
for lots of primary school children<br />
playing touch,” the post<br />
said.<br />
“All I am asking is that people<br />
be responsible with fireworks.<br />
That includes safety-wise and<br />
getting rid of your rubbish . . .<br />
having fun is cool as long as you<br />
tidy up after your fun activity.”<br />
The new MacFarlane Park<br />
Centre opened Acheson Ave site<br />
in early September.<br />
The MacFarlane Park Centre<br />
was used as the temporary St<br />
Albans Community Centre on<br />
Colombo St before moving to<br />
Shirley.<br />
Totara award for Burnside High head boy<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
BURNSIDE HIGH School’s head<br />
boy has been recognised for his<br />
work in the community.<br />
Eighteen-year-old Gray Ryburn<br />
was presented with a Rotary<br />
young totara award.<br />
The award, which was presented<br />
by Richie McCaw, came<br />
with a totara tree which would<br />
be planted on Burnside High<br />
School’s grounds.<br />
Gray said he felt “humbled” to<br />
receive the award.<br />
“It was a bit of a surprise. Mr<br />
Robertson, who is the principal<br />
of the senior division at school,<br />
the email came through to him<br />
and then he nominated me for<br />
an award and sent them a wee<br />
write up about me, and then I got<br />
invited to the awards night which<br />
was awesome,” he said.<br />
“I feel very privileged to have<br />
that award. It’s very, very cool,<br />
but I’m not the sort of person to<br />
gloat about it. Seeing the work<br />
that Rotary do, and being able<br />
to meet all sorts of people in the<br />
community who are making a<br />
positive difference was great.”<br />
As head boy, Gray was involved<br />
in several community events and<br />
initiatives.<br />
He said the head prefect team<br />
at Burnside High School organised<br />
a Shave for a Cure event<br />
WINNER: Burnside High School student and head boy Gray<br />
Ryburn was presented the Young Totara Award by Richie<br />
McCaw.<br />
which saw 27 students chop their<br />
locks off, held a concert to raise<br />
awareness for mental health, and<br />
networked with other school<br />
leaders around the city.<br />
“Being head boy has been a<br />
really humbling experience. It’s<br />
been quite a busy year but really<br />
rewarding.”<br />
He said he was inspired by the<br />
work that Rotary did in the community.<br />
“There was a dinner, so I had a<br />
chance to talk to some of the people<br />
who have been with Rotary<br />
for 30 years or so, and the service<br />
they’ve put in is awesome,” he<br />
said.<br />
“I’m aspiring to hopefully<br />
someday be like that and be a<br />
positive influence for people.”<br />
Next year, Gray plans on<br />
studying for a Bachelor of Arts in<br />
political science and a Bachelor<br />
of Commerce in management at<br />
Victoria University.<br />
The business excellence<br />
award this year was received by<br />
Christchurch Helicopters for providing<br />
helicopter pilot training in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
Receiving the vocational excellence<br />
award that recognised a<br />
high standard of excellence was<br />
Andy Ashby from Peter Timbs<br />
Meats in Bishopdale.<br />
Community service award recipients<br />
were Donna Sutherland,<br />
Jill Newton and Peter Isle from<br />
the Coffin Club.<br />
The Coffin Club was a volunteer<br />
group focusing on lower cost<br />
caskets for all people and supported<br />
the women’s hospital for<br />
still births and cot deaths.<br />

FUN: A<br />
playground<br />
at St<br />
Andrew’s<br />
College<br />
has won an<br />
award of<br />
excellence.<br />
Accolade for St Andrew’s<br />
College playground<br />
ST ANDREW’S College has<br />
received an excellence award for<br />
its playground.<br />
The Learning Environment<br />
NZ accolade for excellence in<br />
educational facilities –<br />
landscape/outdoor learning<br />
was awarded to the school at a<br />
ceremony.<br />
Jasmax landscape architects<br />
worked closely with St Andrew’s<br />
staff and play consultant, Tina<br />
Dyer, to design the playground<br />
which is a fun play space and<br />
helps students learn with an<br />
emphasis on sustainability.<br />
Said Jasmax lead landscape<br />
architect Adrian Taylor: “We<br />
want students to engage with<br />
the environment through a<br />
variety of ways. There are student<br />
gardens to educate on nature and<br />
growing food, and surface water<br />
is collected and flows through<br />
boulders providing a play element<br />
in rainy weather.”<br />
Catering for ages two to seven,<br />
Mr Taylor said the playground<br />
was designed to help transition<br />
students from pre-school into the<br />
junior environment. This helps<br />
them gain confidence and test<br />
their surroundings.<br />
Preparatory school principal<br />
and deputy rector Jonathan<br />
Bierwirth said the finished<br />
product was “pure excitement for<br />
the children”.<br />
“We are delighted with<br />
how they interact with all<br />
aspects of the playground.<br />
We particularly like how the<br />
environment encourages the<br />
children to just play and have<br />
fun.”<br />
•From page 1<br />
Said Mr Tate: “To our shock,<br />
we were informed by ECan that<br />
the agreement we thought had<br />
been reached was now no longer<br />
possible. This means the 600<br />
residents and nearly 300 staff of<br />
this village will not have access<br />
to a bus service within acceptable<br />
walking distance.”<br />
He said residents planned<br />
on discussing possible<br />
solutions with ECan,<br />
including having a<br />
turning bay on Philpotts<br />
Rd so the bus can<br />
travel back towards the<br />
village.<br />
“We’re determined to<br />
do something about it,”<br />
he said.<br />
“The average age here<br />
is around 79-80, and<br />
while some can drive,<br />
most residents are past<br />
the point of driving safely . . .<br />
we believe that access to public<br />
transport for such a large group<br />
of elderly and disabled should<br />
be a prime consideration of<br />
an effective bus transport coordinator.”<br />
Ryman Healthcare corporate<br />
affairs manager David King said<br />
the company was “behind the<br />
residents all the way” in their bid<br />

Retirement village’s<br />
bid to save bus route<br />
to keep a bus in the area.<br />
“We were really disappointed<br />
with ECan’s decision and we’re<br />
going to try and work with them<br />
to try and find a solution,” he<br />
said.<br />
“The bus is really important<br />
to residents and to our staff, so<br />
it would be a huge loss for the<br />
area.”<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
senior manager public<br />

Gibbon said he understood<br />
retirement home<br />
residents relied on the<br />

“We understand<br />
that the decision to<br />
not proceed with the<br />
change to route 44<br />
leaves the residents<br />
and staff of Diana<br />
Isaac Retirement Village<br />
without such close<br />
access to a bus service, at least in<br />
the short-term,” he said.<br />
“But operating an accessible<br />
public transport network is a<br />
priority, and ECan will continue<br />
to work together with the village<br />
residents, Ryman Healthcare,<br />
the Mairehau community and<br />
the city council to investigate the<br />
best way to ensure appropriate<br />
access to the network.”<br />

Readers respond to<br />
the news a signalised<br />
pedestrian crossing will<br />
be installed outside St<br />
Andrew’s College on<br />
Papanui Rd<br />
Helen Cox – There’s no crossing<br />
outside my daughter’s school<br />
but they still use a road patrol.<br />
I’m all for the signalised crossing<br />
but I wonder why they couldn’t<br />
do road patrol?<br />
Nicholas Smeaton – Oh<br />
great, a private school asks for a<br />
signalised pedestrian crossing<br />
and gets it straight away, while at<br />
the same time, the city council<br />
refuses to install traffic lights at<br />
the Harewood/Breens/Gardiners<br />
Rds intersection.<br />
Alexia Chisholm – It’s not<br />
just private school kids who<br />
cross. There are lots of schools in<br />
that area. With the bus lane and<br />
many bikes going along the side,<br />
it’s not safe at all for kids to cross<br />
here, even when cars let them in,<br />
so I think this is a great idea.<br />

$49,000 was spent on catering<br />

Eat before you go. And if<br />

Democracy ‘strangled’ in Papanui<br />
Papanui-<br />
Innes<br />
Community<br />
Board<br />
member<br />
John<br />
Stringer<br />
writes about how he<br />
believes Papanui is being<br />
strangled by reports and<br />
bureaucracy<br />
IS PAPANUI being strangled by<br />
intrusive city council processes of<br />
change and a wave of reports? I<br />
think it is.<br />
City councillor Aaron<br />
Keown of Harewood said<br />
recently: “Democracy is being<br />
strangled by process.” As<br />
reported in last week’s Nor’West<br />
<strong>News</strong>, I asked “we are supposedly<br />
a city in recovery, why so much<br />
change to a largely unaffected<br />
area of Christchurch?”<br />
The city council must be<br />
careful it does not become<br />
a bureaucratic, staff-driven<br />
‘earthquake’ in one of<br />
Christchurch’s oldest residential<br />
suburbs.<br />
There is now a city council<br />
plan suggesting major changes<br />
to Harewood Rd (Harewood<br />
Rd corridor study findings and<br />
recommendations – June 20,<br />
2017), which is defined as a<br />
strategic west-east cycle route and<br />
a “north-west city corridor.”<br />
There are proposals for more<br />
lights, pedestrian crossings,<br />
possible cycle-lanes and the<br />
removal of on street car parking<br />
– all initiatives yet to be go<br />
out for public consultation.<br />
It must be noted, that<br />
the “endorsement” of the staff<br />
study by the board last week was<br />
not to show support for these<br />
changes necessarily, just for the<br />
study to go forward.<br />
Several of us have detailed<br />
concerns.<br />
There have been bus route<br />
changes, changes to bus stops,<br />
and a lot of parking changes<br />
to streets like Main North<br />
Rd, Tuckers Rd, Prestons Rd,<br />
Momorangi Cres, and Hills Rd to<br />
name just a few.<br />

FOCUS: A crash, which blocked Harewood Rd last week, brings<br />
into focus the traffic debates and issues confronting Papanui,<br />
says John Stringer.<br />
There was the recent<br />
controversial city council vote<br />
to insert dedicated bus and bike<br />
lanes through Papanui village<br />
(bus priority proposal – 25 July),<br />
affecting local residents and<br />
businesses and changing our<br />
retail village forever.<br />
I fought this proposal, as I<br />
felt the narrow needs of bus<br />
commuters and cyclists saving<br />
40-plus seconds on commuter<br />
travel times did not outweigh<br />
local parking needs, especially<br />
for the large demographic<br />
population of mobile elderly in<br />
Papanui.<br />
Then there was last week’s city<br />
council decision to ignore the<br />
vote of the combined Papanui-<br />
Innes and Burwood-Coastal<br />
community boards not to change<br />
speed limits at the new Prestons<br />
sub-division to 40km/h.<br />
The city council has now<br />
imposed five different speed<br />
limits on those locals within a<br />
1-2km radius. Ridiculous and<br />
intrusive.<br />
For more than a year now,<br />
the board has been seeking a<br />
traffic audit of Papanui (CCC<br />
city services team planning and<br />
delivery [transport] – October 9).<br />
An interim report has been<br />
received behind closed doors. It<br />
discusses a number of changes to<br />
roading and traffic issues in our<br />
community, but these cannot be<br />
discussed here until the report is<br />
tabled publicly. That process has<br />
been far too long in coming –<br />
democracy strangled by process?<br />
The Cranford St off-ramp<br />
and the Northern Corridor and<br />
Waimakariri bridge changes are<br />
clearly huge changes to our area,<br />
especially for Edgeware and St<br />
Albans, as traffic funnels into<br />
those communities.<br />
Issues like this propelled Garry<br />
Moore into local politics.<br />
There is a plan for changes<br />
to Langdons Rd (Langdons Rd<br />
proposed roading improvements<br />
consultation plan – October 25)<br />
due to the light industrial growth<br />
there, much of it transferred<br />
from other parts of Christchurch<br />
due to the earthquakes. There<br />
Beautiful Teeth<br />
Meet the<br />
Owner<br />
Ryan Carlton<br />
Natural Smile<br />
are proposals to remove large<br />
swathes of on-street parking.<br />
In the meantime, most of the<br />
side-streets around Langdons Rd<br />
are already filled to capacity with<br />
tight car parking.<br />
There are discussions over<br />
changes to the Harewood/<br />
Breens/Gardiners intersection,<br />
which took several hours of time<br />
at a recent city council meeting.<br />
The Harewood board<br />
advocates strongly for lights, a<br />
proposal I oppose in favour of<br />
a roundabout, as per the much<br />
busier Harewood/Russley Rds<br />
intersection 1km up the road.<br />
The Harewood/Greers Rds<br />
intersection – a stone’s throw<br />
from my residence – is a key<br />
discussion point in many of the<br />
traffic reports.<br />
An accident there that blocked<br />
Harewood Rd last Tuesday<br />
morning brings in to focus<br />
the traffic debates and issues<br />
confronting Papanui as a result<br />
of car parking and traffic changes<br />
pushed westward into our<br />
community in response to city<br />
council changes to Main North<br />
Rd, and the Papanui High School<br />
and Northlands mall expansions,<br />
both on Langdons Rd.<br />
Obviously there is a lot of<br />
change. Local boards and the city<br />
council have to plan and respond.<br />
But that must be balanced with<br />
time-managed layering on top of<br />
locals.<br />
City council initiatives that are<br />
not additionally needed, such<br />
as suggested cycleways down<br />
Harewood Rd or removing<br />
parking from Langdons Rd, when<br />
we are already experiencing a lot<br />
of change, have to be debated.<br />
Please let Papanui breathe.<br />
We’ve had enough change these<br />
last eight years. Don’t strangle us<br />
with process.<br />

Spelling success for Bernadette<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
A PASSION for books has earned<br />
a St Albans home-schooled<br />
student a runner up spot at the<br />
New Zealand Spelling Bee.<br />
Fifteen-year-old Bernadette<br />
Barrett was one of three runnersup<br />
in the competition last week.<br />
She said her talent for<br />
words came from her love of<br />
reading.<br />
“Lord of the Rings is my<br />
absolute favourite book,” she said.<br />
“I’ve been reading books since I<br />
was little. I’ve read a lot of books.<br />
It’s one of my favourite things to<br />
do. Because I’ve read so much,<br />
I’ve been exposed to a lot of<br />
different words, so spelling came<br />
naturally.”<br />
Bernadette battled it out with<br />
19 of New Zealand’s top spellers<br />
at the spelling bee national<br />
final at the City Art Gallery in<br />
Wellington.<br />
The competition started with a<br />
written classroom test, followed<br />
by six regional semi-finals held<br />
around the country in which the<br />
top 200 spellers competed for a<br />
place in the finals.<br />
Bernadette said she spent<br />
a lot of time in the lead-up to<br />
the competition practicing her<br />
spelling.<br />
She said she was provided with<br />
a list of hundreds of words that<br />
could appear in the finals, but<br />
her final word was one she didn’t<br />
recognise.<br />
“It was just in the last part of<br />
the finals where I got a word<br />
that I didn’t know. The word was<br />
ignominy, but I spelt it i-g-n-o-mo-n-y.”<br />
Ignominy is a noun referring<br />
to someone who was shamed or<br />
disgraced.<br />
Hanleys Essential Dog Roll<br />
• Pure meat Formulated for dogs<br />
• No chemicals<br />
• No fillers<br />
• Contains 18% protein<br />
But in spite of not nabbing the<br />
top spot, Bernadette said she was<br />
pleased with her achievement.<br />
“I was in the finals last year,<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Air guns at Bottle<br />
Lake lead to<br />
police call out<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
POLICE WERE called to Bottle<br />
Lake Forest after walkers raised<br />
concerns about rabbits being<br />
hunted with guns.<br />
They found two men in possession<br />
of an air gun at about 7.50pm<br />
on October 28.<br />
No charges were laid, but advice<br />
was given to the men about using<br />
air guns in public places. A police<br />
spokesman said rabbit hunting<br />
was not a common problem at the<br />
forest.<br />
Queenspark resident Jan<br />
Sekihara said she was “shocked”<br />
when she saw a man with what<br />
appeared to be a hunting rifle<br />
about 100m from the forest<br />
entrance on the Lima Rd side.<br />
“I was petrified, it was the first<br />
time I had ever seen a gun, whether<br />
it be hunting or not. I saw the<br />
gun and I was really frightened<br />
for my safety and the safety of my<br />
dog,” she said.<br />
Many families were out walking<br />
at the time, she said. Mrs Sekihara<br />
was concerned her schnoodle,<br />
which was off lead at the time<br />
could be mistaken for a rabbit.<br />
“It just pays for people to be<br />
aware there are some people out<br />
there without any commonsense.<br />
They have no respect for rules.”<br />

A healthier diet<br />
for your pets<br />
The Feedshack grew almost 10 years ago<br />
from a family tragedy we hear about too<br />
often. Our family dog (Samantha a golden<br />
lab) died early, riddled with cancer and<br />
arthritis.<br />
It wasn’t until this happened that we<br />
decided to question the diet we had fed her<br />
with and whether this had contributed to<br />
her health problems.<br />
A lot of research and investigation<br />
resulted in our belief that this could have<br />
been prevented (or minimized at worst)<br />
with a healthier diet and better education<br />
on our part. Looking at the ingredient<br />
listings on today’s dog food available in<br />
the market and understanding what<br />
they mean, most are more suitable<br />
for chickens than dogs.<br />
Our philosophy is about<br />
preventing (where possible)<br />
disease rather than treating it.<br />
This is reflected in the foods<br />
we sell (and don’t sell) on our<br />
shelves.<br />
As we see in increase in the<br />
number of pet illnesses, we see<br />
this as more important than<br />

Ma Baker - your local<br />
Kiwi bakery<br />
They say that if you want to know the<br />
best place to find a great bakery, follow the<br />
locals, and in Edgeware and Bishopdale,<br />
you’ll find both the residents and those<br />
working in the area are regularly heading<br />
straight for Ma Baker.<br />
Their yummy food options in-store can<br />
be described as honest Kiwi tucker and<br />
there’s something for everyone. Everything<br />
is baked daily by their team of bakers, from<br />
the fresh bread displayed in store which<br />
is also used in their sandwiches and rolls,<br />
to their delicious and so-moreish cream<br />
cakes, scones and slices. It’s a perfect spot<br />
to call in for lunch or afternoon tea with<br />
friends, to share a cuppa and a cake with<br />
someone special, or for tradies to fill up<br />
on their large selection of pies, stuffed<br />
sausages, toasties, buns and donuts, and<br />
they can be comfortable knowing they are a<br />
tradie/hi-vis/workboots-friendly bakery. It<br />
is also a popular spot for business people to<br />
hold casual weekly meetings.<br />
When cooking a meal is too much after<br />
a busy day, parents can select something<br />
from their large deli-bars and take home<br />
large-sized bacon and egg or family meat<br />
pies or pizza breads with fruit pies to follow<br />
– their budget-friendly prices mean that<br />
take-out or eating out doesn’t need to be<br />
a weekly treat any more. Their savoury<br />

Burnside student in<br />
lead role as opera<br />
returns to the city<br />
A BURNSIDE High School<br />
student is set to star in the first<br />
opera put on by Christchurch<br />
residents since the earthquakes.<br />
Grant Weihs will play the title<br />
role in the nativity story Amahl<br />
and the Night Visitors<br />
on Saturday.<br />
The production<br />
marks the first time<br />
in almost 10 years<br />
– when The Magic<br />
Flute was on stage in<br />
2009 – that a locallyproduced<br />
opera<br />
has been offered<br />
to Christchurch<br />
audiences.<br />
United States<br />
composer Gian Carlo Menotti<br />
wrote Amahl and the Night<br />
Visitors in the early 1950s. It is<br />
centred around a young disabled<br />
boy called Amahl, who is played<br />
by Grant.<br />
The show is a one-act opera<br />
about Amahl, who has a<br />
fondness for tall tales.<br />
His mother has to live with his<br />
active imagination, but is also at<br />
her wit’s end trying to put food<br />
on the table and secure a future<br />
Grant Weihs<br />
for her son. After Amahl tells<br />
his mother about a star “bigger<br />
than a window” over their roof,<br />
she retires to bed, but then three<br />
kings turn up on the doorstep<br />
looking for somewhere to stay<br />
for the night. They are<br />
fed and entertained, and<br />
offer Amahl a chance for a<br />
better life.<br />
The play will have a<br />
family-oriented matinee<br />
performance at 2pm on<br />
Saturday.<br />
It will then be on stage<br />
again during an evening<br />
programme of handpicked<br />
seasonal choral<br />
music starting at 7.30pm at<br />
the The Piano: Centre for Music<br />
and the Arts.<br />
Produced and directed by<br />
Broadway veteran Ravil Atlas,<br />
and featuring the Atlas Voices<br />
Ensemble, the evening will end<br />
with the New Zealand premier of<br />
Hodie by US composer Z Randall<br />
Stroope, complete with brass<br />
octet, organ and percussion.<br />
•Tickets for both<br />
performances are available<br />

can be a stressful juggling-act. However, Mike Pero Bishopdale<br />
North, run by husband and wife team Ian and Cathy Falconer,<br />
are on hand to bring their unique and very client-friendly<br />
approach to real estate and support you through the whole<br />
process. Part of the Mike Pero franchise, their aim is to make<br />
the experience less daunting. They have been through the<br />
same experiences as their clients, having found homes both<br />
to raise their family and for elderly relatives, so they can<br />
appreciate what their sellers and buyers are going through<br />

Their new venture is based on firm roots and a heap of<br />
experience. Now married for almost three decades, the couple<br />
started married life in Bishopdale, and are passionate about<br />
supporting the area. Cathy has been the Bishopdale Pink<br />

Cathy. They are a down-to-earth couple who want to make<br />
a difference to their clients’ lives. Their own experience<br />
of raising children means they know what a family needs,<br />
and Cathy’s experience in the travel sector helps her to<br />
understand a client then work out what will suit them best.<br />
Selling up and moving house needs attention to detail and<br />
an understanding of timelines, something they both excel<br />
at. Ian’s experience as a chef, in retail and as a manager of<br />
supermarkets, gives him the ability to meet the real needs of<br />
real people by making the commercial world user-friendly.<br />
Cathy and Ian’s friendliness, kindness, and desire to help<br />
their clients really shine through. Their aim is to help you<br />

Mystery revealed behind Walnut Ave<br />
Papanui Heritage group<br />
chairman Murray Williams<br />
tries to get to the bottom<br />
of how Walnut Ave got its<br />
name<br />
FOR THOSE interested in<br />
the background stories of<br />
Christchurch streets, a good<br />
starting point is the excellent<br />
on-line site created by<br />
Christchurch City Libraries.<br />
This resource traces the origin<br />
of city streets, the stories behind<br />
their names and the reasons for<br />
any subsequent name changes.<br />
However, it is inevitable in a<br />
resource of this complexity that<br />
there will be occasional errors.<br />
For example, looking up<br />
‘Walnut Ave’ in the CCL site<br />
we read that this south Papanui<br />
street came into existence in 1926<br />
as the new name for St Andrew’s<br />
Tce, a change prompted because<br />
of the confusion with nearby St<br />
Andrew’s Square.<br />
But under ‘Hartley Ave’ we<br />
find a statement that St Andrew’s<br />
Tce was renamed Hartley Ave in<br />
1938. The primary evidence cited<br />
certainly verifies the latter claim.<br />
The answer to the confusion<br />
lies in an ambiguous newspaper<br />
article in The Press on June 22,<br />
1926, which obviously misled the<br />
compiler of the CCL resource.<br />
MYSTERY: Murray Wiliams investigates how Walnut Ave got its name.<br />
The article, titled ‘Alterations<br />
Approved’, listed a number of<br />
streets subject to possible name<br />
changes, one of which was ‘St<br />
Andrews Tce to be renamed<br />
Walnut Ave.’<br />
However, the article also noted<br />
that in a petition, 11 ratepayers<br />
and property-holders objected on<br />
the grounds that the suggested<br />
new name was not acceptable to<br />
them.<br />
The introduction to the article<br />
had explained that any projected<br />
changes that generated objections<br />
were not proceeded with, in other<br />
words the name change did not<br />
go ahead in 1926.<br />
So when and where was<br />
Walnut Ave established?<br />
The Post Office Directory<br />
of 1939 has no record of its<br />
existence. Although by 1947,<br />
Stone’s Directory mentions it as<br />
running off Hawthorne Ave and<br />
having 12 developed lots, nine of<br />
which were houses on the eastern<br />
side of the street.<br />
An analysis of these houses<br />
reveals that the majority are<br />
examples of designs common in<br />
the 1940s, although some have<br />
since been modified.<br />
Based on this evidence, the best<br />
answer appears to be that the<br />
street was developed sometime<br />
in the mid-1940s, an example of<br />
the post-World War 2 building<br />
boom.<br />
Anecdotally, Walnut Ave was<br />
named after a large walnut tree<br />
somewhere in this area of south<br />
Papanui, but there is another<br />
interesting point about this<br />
street’s name. The term ‘avenue’<br />
usually indicates some form<br />
of tree planting adjacent to the<br />
street. Whether such a feature<br />
ever existed in Walnut Ave is<br />
not clear but there is no current<br />
evidence that it ever did.<br />
Perhaps a reader with a long<br />
memory could enlighten us<br />
by emailing ashleigh.monk@<br />

Experience Ara provides high school<br />
students a taste of tertiary<br />
For high school students<br />
choosing a future career<br />
can be a daunting prospect. To<br />
give students a chance to try<br />
before they buy, Ara Institute of<br />
Canterbury has expanded their<br />
programme of taster sessions<br />
to cater for juniors picking their<br />
NCEA subjects, as well as seniors<br />
figuring out their next steps.<br />
Imagine trying out being a web<br />
developer for a day, a performing<br />
arts student at NASDA, or an<br />
engineer. Experience Ara is aiding students to<br />
close the gap between reading about something<br />
and actually giving it a go.<br />
The Experience Ara programme has proven<br />
hugely successful in providing high school<br />
students with a taste of tertiary study, and a<br />
hands-on way to explore their interests. In<br />
<strong>2018</strong>, 2344 students have registered to 269<br />
events offered in a range of tertiary subjects<br />
including Science, Creative Industries, Trades<br />
and Business. Out of all the young people who<br />
registered for Experience Ara <strong>2018</strong>, 911 have<br />
applied to study with Ara in 2019.<br />
Due to high demand, the new programme<br />
for 2019 has even more occurrences and a<br />
broader variety of events. For 2019, Ara has<br />
proposed 242 events, with exciting new additions<br />
such as Introduction to Medical Imaging,<br />
Diving into Data Computing Taster and Builder<br />
for a Day.<br />
Advertorial<br />
Emma West, Ara Engagement Manager said,<br />
“By providing a range of experiential opportunities,<br />
in subject areas that align with employment<br />
opportunities, we are playing a part in<br />
helping young people to make big decisions.”<br />
A year <strong>13</strong> from Catholic Cathedral College<br />
who attended the Re: Structure Portfolio<br />
Workshop for students interested in architecture<br />
said they appreciated the personal<br />
guidance that it gave them, and they now<br />
have “clear knowledge of the course they want<br />
to take.”<br />
Ara is not only the largest tertiary institute in<br />
the South Island, it’s also one of the top-ranking<br />
institutes in New Zealand, with one of the<br />
highest course completion rates in the country.<br />
Students can register online to attend junior<br />
taster sessions (years 9-10), senior taster<br />
sessions (years 11-<strong>13</strong>), holiday workshops,<br />
and NCEA credited STAR courses.<br />

LAURA<br />
JONES<br />
Emmanuel school pupil<br />
takes speed skating title<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
WHEN Emmanuel Christian<br />
School pupil Leona Jones first<br />
went ice skating, she spent most<br />
of her time falling down – but<br />
now she’s winning trophies.<br />
She trains hard and competes<br />
at Opawa’s Canterbury Alpine<br />
Ice Speed Skating Club, which<br />
has paid off with her taking out<br />
the under-12 age group at the<br />
Australian ice speed skating<br />
championships in Melbourne.<br />
Leona, 11, prefers the shorter<br />
distance races, such as the<br />
111m, 222m, and 333m, thanks<br />
to her fast starts.<br />
Her mum Laura took Leona<br />
ice skating for the first time<br />
when she was four, expecting it<br />
to be a one-time experience.<br />
“She spent most of the first<br />
time falling over and getting her<br />
clothes absolutely soaked and I<br />
thought she’d come off the ice<br />
and hate it, but afterwards she<br />
told me she absolutely loved it.”<br />
Leona trains twice a week<br />
on the ice, where she works on<br />
making her legs stronger and<br />
her technique sharper.<br />
She also does some training at<br />
Hagley Park away from the ice.<br />
She said when she had her<br />
first race as a six-year-old, she<br />
knew the sport was for her after<br />
she fell over but still won.<br />
Leona said she wants to<br />
go as far as her talent can take<br />
her.<br />
“I’d like to compete at the<br />
junior world championships<br />
when I am old enough (15) and<br />
then the Winter Olympics is a<br />
definite dream of mine.”<br />
SPORTS<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
PAPANUI TRACK cyclist<br />
Sami Donnelly is still pinching<br />
herself over the stellar 12 months<br />
she’s had.<br />
The 16-year-old was the supreme<br />
winner at the Burnside<br />
High School<br />
sports awards<br />
and also won a<br />
Zonta award.<br />
Sami was<br />
the youngest<br />
member of the<br />
New Zealand<br />
team at the<br />
Sami<br />
Donnelly<br />
junior world<br />
championships<br />
in Switzerland.<br />
Having won gold at the<br />
Oceania under-19 women’s team<br />
pursuit last year, Sami said she is<br />
eager to push her claim to ride in<br />
endurance races next season.<br />
“I’m definitely more interested<br />
in doing endurance races and<br />
pushing myself that way.’<br />
Sami is the daughter of former<br />
Olympic team pursuit cyclist,<br />
Nigel Donnelly, who competed<br />
in 1988 and 1992 at Seoul and<br />
Barcelona respectively. He won<br />
a Commonwealth Games gold<br />
medal at the same event in<br />
Auckland in 1990.<br />
Sami said she was motivated by<br />
ACTION: Sami Donnelly preparing to ride for New Zealand.<br />

her dad’s achievements but also<br />
wanted to follow her own path.<br />
“I’ve always wanted to follow in<br />
dad’s steps,” she said. “In year 6, I<br />
remember having to do a project<br />
on someone I admired and I<br />
picked him.”<br />
Sami said she played multiple<br />
sports when she was younger<br />
until she was in year 8 when she<br />
decided she needed to prioritise.<br />
“I played every sport<br />
imaginable – basketball, netball,<br />
water polo, hockey – until a<br />
physio said my body was not<br />
handling it so I decided to cut<br />
back to hockey and cycling.”<br />
Later that year, she watched her<br />
brother Felix training and she<br />
decided to give it a go,<br />
“I’m aware of what dad<br />
achieved and it does drive me to<br />
be my best,” Sami said. “Having<br />
said that, I want to do my own<br />
thing and I have my own coach.<br />
“Dad’s great at letting me do<br />
my own thing but also knowing<br />
when he can drop in some<br />
knowledge.”<br />
Sami said she wanted another<br />
shot at the under-19 world<br />
championships next year and<br />
was keen to do more endurance<br />
rides.<br />
“Even when that pain hits,<br />
you have to find the reasons<br />
why you ride and certainly<br />
enjoy it.”

Timely advice from<br />
McGirr Motors<br />
As the warmer weather and Christmas<br />
holidays approach, McGirr Motors owner<br />
Gary Lake suggests now is a great time<br />
to get your air-conditioning and cooling<br />

Gary also recommends a Vehicle Holiday<br />
Check for those planning a long road trip<br />
over the Christmas break. This will lessen<br />
the risk of a breakdown and the team will<br />
discuss any work, if required, prior to it<br />
being carried out. They also offer a full<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 />

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 />

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 apartment 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 />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<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 bi ger 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 />
