Pensioners last chance to save bus route 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

FRUSTRATED residents of a 

Mairehau retirement village will 

have one last chance to get a bus 

to stop on their doorstep. 

Diana Isaac Retirement 

Village residents have been 

fighting since March to get the 

No 44 bus to stop at their village 

after Environment Canterbury 

decided to re-route the Orbiter 

which previously ran past it. 

ECan said last month it would 

not re-route the No 44 through 

some residential streets, leaving 

residents of the retirement village 

having to travel 1km to the 

nearest bus stop. 

But ECan will meet again with 

the residents tomorrow to hear 

their concerns. 

The re-route would have 

included travelling to and from 

Innes Rd via Philpotts Rd, 

Glenfield Cres, Roslyn Ave, 

Croziers Rd, Ranger St and 

MEETING: Diana Isaac Retirement 

Village residents will meet with ECan 

tomorrow to voice their concerns about 

the proposed bus route changes. 

Nancy Ave. 

Retirement village resident 

Graham Tate said he was 

surprised when ECan announced 

the route would not change, as it 

had given a “strong indication” 

that it would.

Congestion 

concerns 

over 

removal of 

Langdons 

Rd parking 


A PROPOSAL to remove 

on-street car parking along 

Langdons Rd could cause 

congestion on residential side 

streets. 

The Papanui-Innes 

Community Board will vote on 

whether to approve the proposal 

to remove the parking from part 

of Langdons Rd in front of a new 

retail development. 

Community board member 

John Stringer said he would vote 

against the change. 

“No parking road restrictions 

in front of the second stage 

of Langdons Rd retail 

development will push street 

parking onto residential side 

streets.” 

Mr Stringer said he thought 

residents in the area would be 

firmly against the proposal. 

“It only repeats the issues 

confronting Marble Wood 

Drive residents on Harewood 

Rd, where time limits are now 

proposed because of heavy 

parking in that cul-de-sac.” 

He recently voiced his concerns 

over the changes and upgrades 

happening in the Papanui area.

from the editor’s desk 

JOHN STRINGER continues to go into bat 

for Papanui. 

The community board member speaks 

out in our weekly Soapbox column on 

page 8 today over what he says are “intrusive 

city council processes.” Stringer says there’s 

far too much bureaucracy and reports from city council HQ in 

Hereford St, which is strangling Papanui. 

He goes as far as to say the city council “must be careful it does 

not become a bureaucratic staff-driven ‘earthquake’ in one of 

Christchurch’s oldest residential suburbs.” 

Stringer doesn’t always endear himself to his fellow Papanui- 

Innes Community Board members. 

That’s because he speaks out publicly and what he says doesn’t 

always agree with the thinking of others. 

But that, as I’ve said before, is democracy.

Residents want truck ban 


TRUCKS COULD be banned 

from some Belfast streets if 

residents get their way. 

It comes after a Sefton 

St resident approached the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board to voice 

concerns over trucks driving 

through and parking on her 

street. 

Community 

board 

chairman Sam 

MacDonald 

said staff 

would look 

into options 

for heavy vehicle 

restrictions 

Sam 

MacDonald 

on Sefton St, 

Englefield Rd 

and Lagan St. 

“Ali has 

been working with Harewood 

councillor Aaron Keown on 

her concerns over the impacts 

of heavy vehicles in Sefton and 

neighbouring streets,” he 

said. 

“As is normal practice we have 

asked our roading engineers to 

look into the issue and consider 

any options that may be available. 

Staff will report back to the 

board on this.” 

OPTIONS: Residents in Belfast want to impose heavy vehicle restriction to prevent trucks from 

driving through their residential streets. 

Belfast Area Residents’ Association 

member Gavin Stanbury 

said trucks in residential streets 

had been an issue for “many 

years”. 

“There are a number of small 

side streets that are being used 

by the trucks . . . the trucks often 

take short-cuts, especially if the 

main roads had heavy traffic 

and they want to get somewhere 

quickly,” he said. 

“If they park on one side of a 

street, it makes it very difficult 

for cars to get past as the streets 

are quite narrow.” 

He said he and other 

residents had approached the 

council about the issue in the 

past. 

“We’ve had members of our 

association phone up and complain, 

it happens every now and 

again, and it goes away 

OPTION 

for a wee 

ONE 

while then it comes back again. 

It’s not a permanent solution.” 

Mr Stanbury said he didn’t 

think the use of side streets by 

trucks would continue for much 

longer. 

“Because we’ve got the new 

Western Belfast Bypass, there 

are more trucks using that now. 

There aren’t quite as many using 

Belfast if they’re going into town 

or to Lyttelton.”

Langdons Rd parking woes 

•From page 1 

Mr Stringer was particularly 

concerned about the Main North 

Rd bus priority project. 

He said the on-street parking 

changes would “wreck” Papanui 

village and turn it into a 

thoroughfare. 

Papanui Business Community 

member and Super 

Liquor owner Carolyn 

Moffat said 

businesses in the 

area had already 

experienced issues 

with staff parking 

Pauline 

Cotter 

on side streets. 

“Further up 

Langdons Rd, that’s 

where a lot of staff would be 

parking and so if you’re removing 

that parking, you’re forcing 

people into those side streets,” she 

said. 

“Staff at businesses around here 

are not allowed to park in the 

customer car parks . . . you’ll end 

up getting residents wanting time 

restrictions in those side streets.” 

Innes Ward city councillor 

Pauline Cotter said she hoped the 

new retail development would 

provide sufficient car parking for 

the area. 

“The new development will 

provide 754 car parks, including 

18 disability parks, which is 

massive. Currently, I think a lot 

of the car parking on the street 

is being used by contractors 

working on the site, so I don’t 

know if it will be an issue once 

construction finishes.” 

Papanui Ward city councillor 

Mike Davidson said the proposal 

will go out for consultation before 

a decision is made. 

“Any decisions on this stretch 

of Langdons Rd needs to follow 

correct process, which includes 

engaging and consulting with the 

community before any decision is 

made by the community board. 

Naturally, I want the road to be 

safe and accessible for everyone 

in the community,” he said. 

“As shown with the Main 

North Rd bus priority project, 

this community board values 

consultation and the input from 

NO SPACE: 

On-street 

car parking 

could be 

removed 

from part of 

Langdons 

Rd if the 

Papanui- 

Innes 

Community 

Board 

approves 

a new 

proposal. 

community.” 

Langdons Rd Barnardos 

Christchurch spokeswoman 

said the loss of on-street parking 

would greatly affect people who 

use their services. 

“With a staff of around 30-40 

per day and four meeting rooms 

we continuously have clients 

rolling through for meetings. 

We also hold supervised sessions 

where one party needs a secure 

close point for drop off and often 

because of the high security 

risk we need to visually note the 

visiting party is not on site at the 

same time,” she said. 

“We also hold group 

programmes, large 

multidisciplinary huis, and 

trainings. So parking is already 

an issue for our staff and clients.” 


Rangi’s Movember breakfast 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students had a “fantastic” 

morning at their Movember father daughter breakfast 

on Thursday. Speaking through a bushy pink moustache, 

principal Sandra Hastie said “everyone had a lot of fun 

and a total of $1550 was raised, which is fantastic”. MC 

Nicholas Henare kept the laughs coming as he too 

sported a moustache, although it had a slightly more 

masculine Magnum PI-style look. Dr Hastie passed 

on her thanks to the event sponsors – Wairau River 

Family Estate, Baker Boys, Good Home, Three Boys 

Brewery, Moveable Feasts, Joe’s Garage Wigram, Fush, 

and Torpedo7. 

We’ve been trusted to look after hundreds

You can trust us to look after yours too. 

Last week I presented my 

submission in Parliament to 

save the Northern Christchurch 

motorway extension. National’s 

announcement last year of a 

four-lane highway from Belfast 

to Pegasus, with separation of 

traffic from the other direction 

and a Woodend Bypass, was 

greeted with relief by motorists 

and residents. However, with 

the current Government’s shift 

in priorities to Auckland public 

transport, the motorway was left 

off NZTA’s 10-year plan. We are 

enjoying significant results from 

the Greater Christchurch motorway 

projects delivered under National 

and Government needs to commit 

to this second stage. 

I enjoyed visiting mental-health 

service providers in Christchurch 

as Mental Health Spokesperson 

to see how we can do better 

in strengthening wellbeing and 

developing robust policies around 

suicide prevention, and supporting 

agencies working on the ground. 

Community broadcasters in 

Canterbury are important cultural 

resources and play a valuable 

role in our communities. I enjoyed 

taking part in SEWN’s Party Talk 

panel discussion in Christchurch 

with other National Party MPs on 

how our policies can support noncommercial 

broadcasters while 

ensuring transparency. 

This weekend I will be at 

the National Party stand at the 

Canterbury A&P Show, so please 

pop in to say hello or let me know 

if you would like to meet me in my 

Belfast office around any issue. It’s 

great that town and country have 

this opportunity each year to come 

together. 

I joined our community 

in marking the events of 100 years 

ago, on 11 November 1918, when 

the world witnessed the end of 

World War 1. Over 100,000 New 

Zealanders served our country and 

since then New Zealanders have 

continued to fight with that same 

courage.

$140m retirement home for Redwood 

Burlington 

set to open 

in March 

LIFESTYLE: The $140 million 

Burlington retirement 

village will open in March at 

Redwood. 

A NEW $140 million retirement 

village, led by well-known 

businessman and Ryman 

Healthcare founder John Ryder, 

will open in March in Redwood. 

Burlington is a high-end 

lifestyle village – the second 

to be opened in Christchurch 

by Qestral Corporation – led 

by Mr Ryder 

as executive 

chairman and 

managing 

director Simon 

O’Dowd, 

a national 

chairman of the 

NZ Aged Care 

Association. 

John Ryder 

Set on 14ha, 

Burlington 

features 3ha of 

man-made lakes. 

The company is incorporating 

innovative architecture and 

new technical and recreational 

concepts – with large footprints 

for independent, stand alone, 

two and three-bedroom houses. 

Qestral also owns the popular 

Alpine View Lifestyle Village in 

Waitikiri, where development is 

drawing to a close. 

Mr Ryder says the Burlington 

site is close to Main North 

Rd with easy access to retail 

facilities. “It is probably the 

most exciting retirement village 

development that I have been 

involved in – and I have been 

involved in a few.” 

Designed by architects Kerry 

Mason and Huia Rerita of +MAP 

Architects, Burlington comprises 

200 houses, a 60-bed, standalone 

rest home and hospital 

centre, a 20-bedroom dementia 

care complex and 40 serviced 

apartments. 

It will also include a lodge and 

clubhouse with a hairdresser, bar, 

restaurant, bakery, church, movie 

theatre, gymnasium and indoor 

swimming pool. Burlington will 

be offering apartments in the 

care and dementia units. 

Construction is well under 

way. Mr O’Dowd says the 

retirement village market is 

changing rapidly. 

“People want something 

individual and different – they 

want on-site facilities, and design 

they can be personally proud 

of, with plenty of space but the 

very best in integrated care. We 

are not cramping the site and 

will have no buildings over two 

storeys high.” 

Mr Ryder has experience as the 

joint chief executive of Ryman 

Healthcare for 18 years, while 

Mr O’Dowd has led the NZ Aged 

Care Association for 22 years.

MacFarlane 

Park damaged 

by fireworks 


THE NEW MacFarlane Park 

Centre has been the target of 

irresponsible firework use. 

In a Facebook post, the 

Shirley Community Trust said 

scorch marks had been found 

on the centre’s new car parking 

area after Guy Fawkes night on 

December 5. 

It also said used fireworks had 

been littered all over MacFarlane 

Park. 

“Today, three lovely ladies 

went and removed seven bags 

of firework rubbish off the park 

area. This area of the park is 

used on Wednesday afternoons 

for lots of primary school children 

playing touch,” the post 

said. 

“All I am asking is that people 

be responsible with fireworks. 

That includes safety-wise and 

getting rid of your rubbish . . . 

having fun is cool as long as you 

tidy up after your fun activity.” 

The new MacFarlane Park 

Centre opened Acheson Ave site 

in early September. 

The MacFarlane Park Centre 

was used as the temporary St 

Albans Community Centre on 

Colombo St before moving to 

Shirley. 

Totara award for Burnside High head boy 


BURNSIDE HIGH School’s head 

boy has been recognised for his 

work in the community. 

Eighteen-year-old Gray Ryburn 

was presented with a Rotary 

young totara award. 

The award, which was presented 

by Richie McCaw, came 

with a totara tree which would 

be planted on Burnside High 

School’s grounds. 

Gray said he felt “humbled” to 

receive the award. 

“It was a bit of a surprise. Mr 

Robertson, who is the principal 

of the senior division at school, 

the email came through to him 

and then he nominated me for 

an award and sent them a wee 

write up about me, and then I got 

invited to the awards night which 

was awesome,” he said. 

“I feel very privileged to have 

that award. It’s very, very cool, 

but I’m not the sort of person to 

gloat about it. Seeing the work 

that Rotary do, and being able 

to meet all sorts of people in the 

community who are making a 

positive difference was great.” 

As head boy, Gray was involved 

in several community events and 

initiatives. 

He said the head prefect team 

at Burnside High School organised 

a Shave for a Cure event 

WINNER: Burnside High School student and head boy Gray 

Ryburn was presented the Young Totara Award by Richie 

McCaw. 

which saw 27 students chop their 

locks off, held a concert to raise 

awareness for mental health, and 

networked with other school 

leaders around the city. 

“Being head boy has been a 

really humbling experience. It’s 

been quite a busy year but really 

rewarding.” 

He said he was inspired by the 

work that Rotary did in the community. 

“There was a dinner, so I had a 

chance to talk to some of the people 

who have been with Rotary 

for 30 years or so, and the service 

they’ve put in is awesome,” he 

said. 

“I’m aspiring to hopefully 

someday be like that and be a 

positive influence for people.” 

Next year, Gray plans on 

studying for a Bachelor of Arts in 

political science and a Bachelor 

of Commerce in management at 

Victoria University. 

The business excellence 

award this year was received by 

Christchurch Helicopters for providing 

helicopter pilot training in 

New Zealand. 

Receiving the vocational excellence 

award that recognised a 

high standard of excellence was 

Andy Ashby from Peter Timbs 

Meats in Bishopdale. 

Community service award recipients 

were Donna Sutherland, 

Jill Newton and Peter Isle from 

the Coffin Club. 

The Coffin Club was a volunteer 

group focusing on lower cost 

caskets for all people and supported 

the women’s hospital for 

still births and cot deaths.

FUN: A 

playground 

at St 

Andrew’s 

College 

has won an 

award of 

excellence. 

Accolade for St Andrew’s 

College playground 

ST ANDREW’S College has 

received an excellence award for 

its playground. 

The Learning Environment 

NZ accolade for excellence in 

educational facilities – 

landscape/outdoor learning 

was awarded to the school at a 

ceremony. 

Jasmax landscape architects 

worked closely with St Andrew’s 

staff and play consultant, Tina 

Dyer, to design the playground 

which is a fun play space and 

helps students learn with an 

emphasis on sustainability. 

Said Jasmax lead landscape 

architect Adrian Taylor: “We 

want students to engage with 

the environment through a 

variety of ways. There are student 

gardens to educate on nature and 

growing food, and surface water 

is collected and flows through 

boulders providing a play element 

in rainy weather.” 

Catering for ages two to seven, 

Mr Taylor said the playground 

was designed to help transition 

students from pre-school into the 

junior environment. This helps 

them gain confidence and test 

their surroundings. 

Preparatory school principal 

and deputy rector Jonathan 

Bierwirth said the finished 

product was “pure excitement for 

the children”. 

“We are delighted with 

how they interact with all 

aspects of the playground. 

We particularly like how the 

environment encourages the 

children to just play and have 

fun.” 

•From page 1 

Said Mr Tate: “To our shock, 

we were informed by ECan that 

the agreement we thought had 

been reached was now no longer 

possible. This means the 600 

residents and nearly 300 staff of 

this village will not have access 

to a bus service within acceptable 

walking distance.” 

He said residents planned 

on discussing possible 

solutions with ECan, 

including having a 

turning bay on Philpotts 

Rd so the bus can 

travel back towards the 

village. 

“We’re determined to 

do something about it,” 

he said. 

“The average age here 

is around 79-80, and 

while some can drive, 

most residents are past 

the point of driving safely . . . 

we believe that access to public 

transport for such a large group 

of elderly and disabled should 

be a prime consideration of 

an effective bus transport coordinator.” 

Ryman Healthcare corporate 

affairs manager David King said 

the company was “behind the 

residents all the way” in their bid 

Local 


Now 


Retirement village’s 

bid to save bus route 

to keep a bus in the area. 

“We were really disappointed 

with ECan’s decision and we’re 

going to try and work with them 

to try and find a solution,” he 

said. 

“The bus is really important 

to residents and to our staff, so 

it would be a huge loss for the 

area.” 

Environment Canterbury 

senior manager public 

transport Stewart 

Gibbon said he understood 

retirement home 

residents relied on the 

bus. 

“We understand 

that the decision to 

not proceed with the 

change to route 44 

leaves the residents 

and staff of Diana 

Isaac Retirement Village 

without such close 

access to a bus service, at least in 

the short-term,” he said. 

“But operating an accessible 

public transport network is a 

priority, and ECan will continue 

to work together with the village 

residents, Ryman Healthcare, 

the Mairehau community and 

the city council to investigate the 

best way to ensure appropriate 

access to the network.”

Your Local Views 


HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you believe Papanui is being 

‘strangled’ by reports and bureaucracy? Email your 

views to ashleigh.monk@starmedia.kiwi 

Readers respond to 

the news a signalised 

pedestrian crossing will 

be installed outside St 

Andrew’s College on 

Papanui Rd 

Helen Cox – There’s no crossing 

outside my daughter’s school 

but they still use a road patrol. 

I’m all for the signalised crossing 

but I wonder why they couldn’t 

do road patrol? 

Nicholas Smeaton – Oh 

great, a private school asks for a 

signalised pedestrian crossing 

and gets it straight away, while at 

the same time, the city council 

refuses to install traffic lights at 

the Harewood/Breens/Gardiners 

Rds intersection. 

Alexia Chisholm – It’s not 

just private school kids who 

cross. There are lots of schools in 

that area. With the bus lane and 

many bikes going along the side, 

it’s not safe at all for kids to cross 

here, even when cars let them in, 

so I think this is a great idea. 

Readers respond to the 

revelation that more than 

$49,000 was spent on catering 

at community board 

meetings 

Paula Rose – Hunger pains 

during a two-three hour meeting? 

Eat before you go. And if 

you’re going to waste our rates on 

food at your meetings, please try 

and make some healthier choices. 

Seriously cakes, biscuits, lollies . . 

. it’s a meeting not a kids party. 

Elaine Cairns-Newton 

– Disgusting. Take your own 

lunch/do a pot luck meal. Stop 

wasting ratepayer money and put 

it towards something important 

for our city/communities. 

Democracy ‘strangled’ in Papanui 

Papanui- 

Innes 

Community 

Board 

member 

John 

Stringer 

writes about how he 

believes Papanui is being 

strangled by reports and 

bureaucracy 

IS PAPANUI being strangled by 

intrusive city council processes of 

change and a wave of reports? I 

think it is. 

City councillor Aaron 

Keown of Harewood said 

recently: “Democracy is being 

strangled by process.” As 

reported in last week’s Nor’West 

News, I asked “we are supposedly 

a city in recovery, why so much 

change to a largely unaffected 

area of Christchurch?” 

The city council must be 

careful it does not become 

a bureaucratic, staff-driven 

‘earthquake’ in one of 

Christchurch’s oldest residential 

suburbs. 

There is now a city council 

plan suggesting major changes 

to Harewood Rd (Harewood 

Rd corridor study findings and 

recommendations – June 20, 

2017), which is defined as a 

strategic west-east cycle route and 

a “north-west city corridor.” 

There are proposals for more 

lights, pedestrian crossings, 

possible cycle-lanes and the 

removal of on street car parking 

– all initiatives yet to be go 

out for public consultation. 

It must be noted, that 

the “endorsement” of the staff 

study by the board last week was 

not to show support for these 

changes necessarily, just for the 

study to go forward. 

Several of us have detailed 

concerns. 

There have been bus route 

changes, changes to bus stops, 

and a lot of parking changes 

to streets like Main North 

Rd, Tuckers Rd, Prestons Rd, 

Momorangi Cres, and Hills Rd to 

name just a few.

FOCUS: A crash, which blocked Harewood Rd last week, brings 

into focus the traffic debates and issues confronting Papanui, 

says John Stringer. 

There was the recent 

controversial city council vote 

to insert dedicated bus and bike 

lanes through Papanui village 

(bus priority proposal – 25 July), 

affecting local residents and 

businesses and changing our 

retail village forever. 

I fought this proposal, as I 

felt the narrow needs of bus 

commuters and cyclists saving 

40-plus seconds on commuter 

travel times did not outweigh 

local parking needs, especially 

for the large demographic 

population of mobile elderly in 

Papanui. 

Then there was last week’s city 

council decision to ignore the 

vote of the combined Papanui- 

Innes and Burwood-Coastal 

community boards not to change 

speed limits at the new Prestons 

sub-division to 40km/h. 

The city council has now 

imposed five different speed 

limits on those locals within a 

1-2km radius. Ridiculous and 

intrusive. 

For more than a year now, 

the board has been seeking a 

traffic audit of Papanui (CCC 

city services team planning and 

delivery [transport] – October 9). 

An interim report has been 

received behind closed doors. It 

discusses a number of changes to 

roading and traffic issues in our 

community, but these cannot be 

discussed here until the report is 

tabled publicly. That process has 

been far too long in coming – 

democracy strangled by process? 

The Cranford St off-ramp 

and the Northern Corridor and 

Waimakariri bridge changes are 

clearly huge changes to our area, 

especially for Edgeware and St 

Albans, as traffic funnels into 

those communities. 

Issues like this propelled Garry 

Moore into local politics. 

There is a plan for changes 

to Langdons Rd (Langdons Rd 

proposed roading improvements 

consultation plan – October 25) 

due to the light industrial growth 

there, much of it transferred 

from other parts of Christchurch 

due to the earthquakes. There 

Beautiful Teeth 

Meet the 

Owner 

Ryan Carlton 

Natural Smile 

are proposals to remove large 

swathes of on-street parking. 

In the meantime, most of the 

side-streets around Langdons Rd 

are already filled to capacity with 

tight car parking. 

There are discussions over 

changes to the Harewood/ 

Breens/Gardiners intersection, 

which took several hours of time 

at a recent city council meeting. 

The Harewood board 

advocates strongly for lights, a 

proposal I oppose in favour of 

a roundabout, as per the much 

busier Harewood/Russley Rds 

intersection 1km up the road. 

The Harewood/Greers Rds 

intersection – a stone’s throw 

from my residence – is a key 

discussion point in many of the 

traffic reports. 

An accident there that blocked 

Harewood Rd last Tuesday 

morning brings in to focus 

the traffic debates and issues 

confronting Papanui as a result 

of car parking and traffic changes 

pushed westward into our 

community in response to city 

council changes to Main North 

Rd, and the Papanui High School 

and Northlands mall expansions, 

both on Langdons Rd. 

Obviously there is a lot of 

change. Local boards and the city 

council have to plan and respond. 

But that must be balanced with 

time-managed layering on top of 

locals. 

City council initiatives that are 

not additionally needed, such 

as suggested cycleways down 

Harewood Rd or removing 

parking from Langdons Rd, when 

we are already experiencing a lot 

of change, have to be debated. 

Please let Papanui breathe. 

We’ve had enough change these 

last eight years. Don’t strangle us 

with process.

Spelling success for Bernadette 


A PASSION for books has earned 

a St Albans home-schooled 

student a runner up spot at the 

New Zealand Spelling Bee. 

Fifteen-year-old Bernadette 

Barrett was one of three runnersup 

in the competition last week. 

She said her talent for 

words came from her love of 

reading. 

“Lord of the Rings is my 

absolute favourite book,” she said. 

“I’ve been reading books since I 

was little. I’ve read a lot of books. 

It’s one of my favourite things to 

do. Because I’ve read so much, 

I’ve been exposed to a lot of 

different words, so spelling came 

naturally.” 

Bernadette battled it out with 

19 of New Zealand’s top spellers 

at the spelling bee national 

final at the City Art Gallery in 

Wellington. 

The competition started with a 

written classroom test, followed 

by six regional semi-finals held 

around the country in which the 

top 200 spellers competed for a 

place in the finals. 

Bernadette said she spent 

a lot of time in the lead-up to 

the competition practicing her 

spelling. 

She said she was provided with 

a list of hundreds of words that 

could appear in the finals, but 

her final word was one she didn’t 

recognise. 

“It was just in the last part of 

the finals where I got a word 

that I didn’t know. The word was 

ignominy, but I spelt it i-g-n-o-mo-n-y.” 

Ignominy is a noun referring 

to someone who was shamed or 

disgraced. 

Hanleys Essential Dog Roll 

• Pure meat Formulated for dogs 

• No chemicals 

• No fillers 

• Contains 18% protein 

But in spite of not nabbing the 

top spot, Bernadette said she was 

pleased with her achievement. 

“I was in the finals last year, 

and when I didn’t win I was 

really disappointed. But this year 

I was a lot more relaxed about it, 

I didn’t care how I went as long 

as I made it through the first few 

rounds. So when I came runnerup, 

I was really shocked.”

Air guns at Bottle 

Lake lead to 

police call out 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

POLICE WERE called to Bottle 

Lake Forest after walkers raised 

concerns about rabbits being 

hunted with guns. 

They found two men in possession 

of an air gun at about 7.50pm 

on October 28. 

No charges were laid, but advice 

was given to the men about using 

air guns in public places. A police 

spokesman said rabbit hunting 

was not a common problem at the 

forest. 

Queenspark resident Jan 

Sekihara said she was “shocked” 

when she saw a man with what 

appeared to be a hunting rifle 

about 100m from the forest 

entrance on the Lima Rd side. 

“I was petrified, it was the first 

time I had ever seen a gun, whether 

it be hunting or not. I saw the 

gun and I was really frightened 

for my safety and the safety of my 

dog,” she said. 

Many families were out walking 

at the time, she said. Mrs Sekihara 

was concerned her schnoodle, 

which was off lead at the time 

could be mistaken for a rabbit. 

“It just pays for people to be 

aware there are some people out 

there without any commonsense. 

They have no respect for rules.”

A healthier diet 

for your pets 

The Feedshack grew almost 10 years ago 

from a family tragedy we hear about too 

often. Our family dog (Samantha a golden 

lab) died early, riddled with cancer and 

arthritis. 

It wasn’t until this happened that we 

decided to question the diet we had fed her 

with and whether this had contributed to 

her health problems. 

A lot of research and investigation 

resulted in our belief that this could have 

been prevented (or minimized at worst) 

with a healthier diet and better education 

on our part. Looking at the ingredient 

listings on today’s dog food available in 

the market and understanding what 

they mean, most are more suitable 

for chickens than dogs. 

Our philosophy is about 

preventing (where possible) 

disease rather than treating it. 

This is reflected in the foods 

we sell (and don’t sell) on our 

shelves. 

As we see in increase in the 

number of pet illnesses, we see 

this as more important than

Ma Baker - your local 

Kiwi bakery 

They say that if you want to know the 

best place to find a great bakery, follow the 

locals, and in Edgeware and Bishopdale, 

you’ll find both the residents and those 

working in the area are regularly heading 

straight for Ma Baker. 

Their yummy food options in-store can 

be described as honest Kiwi tucker and 

there’s something for everyone. Everything 

is baked daily by their team of bakers, from 

the fresh bread displayed in store which 

is also used in their sandwiches and rolls, 

to their delicious and so-moreish cream 

cakes, scones and slices. It’s a perfect spot 

to call in for lunch or afternoon tea with 

friends, to share a cuppa and a cake with 

someone special, or for tradies to fill up 

on their large selection of pies, stuffed 

sausages, toasties, buns and donuts, and 

they can be comfortable knowing they are a 

tradie/hi-vis/workboots-friendly bakery. It 

is also a popular spot for business people to 

hold casual weekly meetings. 

When cooking a meal is too much after 

a busy day, parents can select something 

from their large deli-bars and take home 

large-sized bacon and egg or family meat 

pies or pizza breads with fruit pies to follow 

– their budget-friendly prices mean that 

take-out or eating out doesn’t need to be 

a weekly treat any more. Their savoury

Burnside student in 

lead role as opera 

returns to the city 

A BURNSIDE High School 

student is set to star in the first 

opera put on by Christchurch 

residents since the earthquakes. 

Grant Weihs will play the title 

role in the nativity story Amahl 

and the Night Visitors 

on Saturday. 

The production 

marks the first time 

in almost 10 years 

– when The Magic 

Flute was on stage in 

2009 – that a locallyproduced 

opera 

has been offered 

to Christchurch 

audiences. 

United States 

composer Gian Carlo Menotti 

wrote Amahl and the Night 

Visitors in the early 1950s. It is 

centred around a young disabled 

boy called Amahl, who is played 

by Grant. 

The show is a one-act opera 

about Amahl, who has a 

fondness for tall tales. 

His mother has to live with his 

active imagination, but is also at 

her wit’s end trying to put food 

on the table and secure a future 

Grant Weihs 

for her son. After Amahl tells 

his mother about a star “bigger 

than a window” over their roof, 

she retires to bed, but then three 

kings turn up on the doorstep 

looking for somewhere to stay 

for the night. They are 

fed and entertained, and 

offer Amahl a chance for a 

better life. 

The play will have a 

family-oriented matinee 

performance at 2pm on 

Saturday. 

It will then be on stage 

again during an evening 

programme of handpicked 

seasonal choral 

music starting at 7.30pm at 

the The Piano: Centre for Music 

and the Arts. 

Produced and directed by 

Broadway veteran Ravil Atlas, 

and featuring the Atlas Voices 

Ensemble, the evening will end 

with the New Zealand premier of 

Hodie by US composer Z Randall 

Stroope, complete with brass 

octet, organ and percussion. 

•Tickets for both 

performances are available 

at http://atlasvoices.nz.

Selling a property at the same time as finding your next home 

can be a stressful juggling-act. However, Mike Pero Bishopdale 

North, run by husband and wife team Ian and Cathy Falconer, 

are on hand to bring their unique and very client-friendly 

approach to real estate and support you through the whole 

process. Part of the Mike Pero franchise, their aim is to make 

the experience less daunting. They have been through the 

same experiences as their clients, having found homes both 

to raise their family and for elderly relatives, so they can 

appreciate what their sellers and buyers are going through 

and what their specific needs are. 

Their new venture is based on firm roots and a heap of 

experience. Now married for almost three decades, the couple 

started married life in Bishopdale, and are passionate about 

supporting the area. Cathy has been the Bishopdale Pink 

Ribbon volunteer coordinator for the past seven years and 

locals are sure to have seen Ian dressed in pink fundraising to 

support the cause. This energetic couple has also embraced 

the Eat My Lunch appeal to help Kiwi children in need. They 

strongly believe in giving back and in being part of the 

community. 

That carries over in how much they care about their clients. 

“It is important to us that we are not intimidating,” explains 

Cathy. They are a down-to-earth couple who want to make 

a difference to their clients’ lives. Their own experience 

of raising children means they know what a family needs, 

and Cathy’s experience in the travel sector helps her to 

understand a client then work out what will suit them best. 

Selling up and moving house needs attention to detail and 

an understanding of timelines, something they both excel 

at. Ian’s experience as a chef, in retail and as a manager of 

supermarkets, gives him the ability to meet the real needs of 

real people by making the commercial world user-friendly. 

Cathy and Ian’s friendliness, kindness, and desire to help 

their clients really shine through. Their aim is to help you 

sell your current property so you can find the right home for 

your family to happily grow up in, or for empty-nesters to 

comfortably grow old in.

Mystery revealed behind Walnut Ave 

Papanui Heritage group 

chairman Murray Williams 

tries to get to the bottom 

of how Walnut Ave got its 

name 

FOR THOSE interested in 

the background stories of 

Christchurch streets, a good 

starting point is the excellent 

on-line site created by 

Christchurch City Libraries. 

This resource traces the origin 

of city streets, the stories behind 

their names and the reasons for 

any subsequent name changes. 

However, it is inevitable in a 

resource of this complexity that 

there will be occasional errors. 

For example, looking up 

‘Walnut Ave’ in the CCL site 

we read that this south Papanui 

street came into existence in 1926 

as the new name for St Andrew’s 

Tce, a change prompted because 

of the confusion with nearby St 

Andrew’s Square. 

But under ‘Hartley Ave’ we 

find a statement that St Andrew’s 

Tce was renamed Hartley Ave in 

1938. The primary evidence cited 

certainly verifies the latter claim. 

The answer to the confusion 

lies in an ambiguous newspaper 

article in The Press on June 22, 

1926, which obviously misled the 

compiler of the CCL resource. 

MYSTERY: Murray Wiliams investigates how Walnut Ave got its name. 

The article, titled ‘Alterations 

Approved’, listed a number of 

streets subject to possible name 

changes, one of which was ‘St 

Andrews Tce to be renamed 

Walnut Ave.’ 

However, the article also noted 

that in a petition, 11 ratepayers 

and property-holders objected on 

the grounds that the suggested 

new name was not acceptable to 

them. 

The introduction to the article 

had explained that any projected 

changes that generated objections 

were not proceeded with, in other 

words the name change did not 

go ahead in 1926. 

So when and where was 

Walnut Ave established? 

The Post Office Directory 

of 1939 has no record of its 

existence. Although by 1947, 

Stone’s Directory mentions it as 

running off Hawthorne Ave and 

having 12 developed lots, nine of 

which were houses on the eastern 

side of the street. 

An analysis of these houses 

reveals that the majority are 

examples of designs common in 

the 1940s, although some have 

since been modified. 

Based on this evidence, the best 

answer appears to be that the 

street was developed sometime 

in the mid-1940s, an example of 

the post-World War 2 building 

boom. 

Anecdotally, Walnut Ave was 

named after a large walnut tree 

somewhere in this area of south 

Papanui, but there is another 

interesting point about this 

street’s name. The term ‘avenue’ 

usually indicates some form 

of tree planting adjacent to the 

street. Whether such a feature 

ever existed in Walnut Ave is 

not clear but there is no current 

evidence that it ever did. 

Perhaps a reader with a long 

memory could enlighten us 

by emailing ashleigh.monk@ 

starmedia.kiwi.

Experience Ara provides high school

For high school students 

choosing a future career 

can be a daunting prospect. To 

give students a chance to try 

before they buy, Ara Institute of 

Canterbury has expanded their 

programme of taster sessions 

to cater for juniors picking their 

NCEA subjects, as well as seniors 

figuring out their next steps. 

Imagine trying out being a web 

developer for a day, a performing 

arts student at NASDA, or an 

engineer. Experience Ara is aiding students to 

close the gap between reading about something 

and actually giving it a go. 

The Experience Ara programme has proven 

hugely successful in providing high school 

students with a taste of tertiary study, and a 

hands-on way to explore their interests. In 

2018, 2344 students have registered to 269 

events offered in a range of tertiary subjects 

including Science, Creative Industries, Trades 

and Business. Out of all the young people who 

registered for Experience Ara 2018, 911 have 

applied to study with Ara in 2019. 

Due to high demand, the new programme 

for 2019 has even more occurrences and a 

broader variety of events. For 2019, Ara has 

proposed 242 events, with exciting new additions 

such as Introduction to Medical Imaging, 

Diving into Data Computing Taster and Builder 

for a Day. 

Advertorial 

Emma West, Ara Engagement Manager said, 

“By providing a range of experiential opportunities, 

in subject areas that align with employment 

opportunities, we are playing a part in 

helping young people to make big decisions.” 

A year 13 from Catholic Cathedral College 

who attended the Re: Structure Portfolio 

Workshop for students interested in architecture 

said they appreciated the personal 

guidance that it gave them, and they now 

have “clear knowledge of the course they want 

to take.” 

Ara is not only the largest tertiary institute in 

the South Island, it’s also one of the top-ranking 

institutes in New Zealand, with one of the 

highest course completion rates in the country. 

Students can register online to attend junior 

taster sessions (years 9-10), senior taster 

sessions (years 11-13), holiday workshops, 

and NCEA credited STAR courses.

NEED FOR 

SPEED: Leona

group at the 

Australian ice 

speed skating 

champs in 

Melbourne.

LAURA 

JONES 

Emmanuel school pupil 

takes speed skating title 

• By Jacob Page 

WHEN Emmanuel Christian 

School pupil Leona Jones first 

went ice skating, she spent most 

of her time falling down – but 

now she’s winning trophies. 

She trains hard and competes 

at Opawa’s Canterbury Alpine 

Ice Speed Skating Club, which 

has paid off with her taking out 

the under-12 age group at the 

Australian ice speed skating 

championships in Melbourne. 

Leona, 11, prefers the shorter 

distance races, such as the 

111m, 222m, and 333m, thanks 

to her fast starts. 

Her mum Laura took Leona 

ice skating for the first time 

when she was four, expecting it 

to be a one-time experience. 

“She spent most of the first 

time falling over and getting her 

clothes absolutely soaked and I 

thought she’d come off the ice 

and hate it, but afterwards she 

told me she absolutely loved it.” 

Leona trains twice a week 

on the ice, where she works on 

making her legs stronger and 

her technique sharper. 

She also does some training at 

Hagley Park away from the ice. 

She said when she had her 

first race as a six-year-old, she 

knew the sport was for her after 

she fell over but still won. 

Leona said she wants to 

go as far as her talent can take 

her. 

“I’d like to compete at the 

junior world championships 

when I am old enough (15) and 

then the Winter Olympics is a 

definite dream of mine.”

• By Jacob Page 

PAPANUI TRACK cyclist 

Sami Donnelly is still pinching 

herself over the stellar 12 months 

she’s had. 

The 16-year-old was the supreme 

winner at the Burnside 

High School 

sports awards 

and also won a 

Zonta award. 

Sami was 

the youngest 

member of the 

New Zealand 

team at the 

Sami 

Donnelly 

junior world 

championships 

in Switzerland. 

Having won gold at the 

Oceania under-19 women’s team 

pursuit last year, Sami said she is 

eager to push her claim to ride in 

endurance races next season. 

“I’m definitely more interested 

in doing endurance races and 

pushing myself that way.’ 

Sami is the daughter of former 

Olympic team pursuit cyclist, 

Nigel Donnelly, who competed 

in 1988 and 1992 at Seoul and 

Barcelona respectively. He won 

a Commonwealth Games gold 

medal at the same event in 

Auckland in 1990. 

Sami said she was motivated by

her dad’s achievements but also 

wanted to follow her own path. 

“I’ve always wanted to follow in 

dad’s steps,” she said. “In year 6, I 

remember having to do a project 

on someone I admired and I 

picked him.” 

Sami said she played multiple 

sports when she was younger 

until she was in year 8 when she 

decided she needed to prioritise. 

“I played every sport 

imaginable – basketball, netball, 

water polo, hockey – until a 

physio said my body was not 

handling it so I decided to cut 

back to hockey and cycling.” 

Later that year, she watched her 

brother Felix training and she 

decided to give it a go, 

“I’m aware of what dad 

achieved and it does drive me to 

be my best,” Sami said. “Having 

said that, I want to do my own 

thing and I have my own coach. 

“Dad’s great at letting me do 

my own thing but also knowing 

when he can drop in some 

knowledge.” 

Sami said she wanted another 

shot at the under-19 world 

championships next year and 

was keen to do more endurance 

rides. 

“Even when that pain hits, 

you have to find the reasons 

why you ride and certainly 

enjoy it.”

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 apartment 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.”

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

Only eight submi sions were

The district council wi l be

A hearing i scheduled to be

The bylaw comes as an increasing

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

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

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.

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

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 crystalline silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton
