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
• By Ashleigh Monk
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.

get in touch
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
• By Ashleigh Monk
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

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

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

ensuring transparency.
This weekend I will be at

$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
• By Ashleigh Monk
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
• By Ashleigh Monk
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

“But operating an accessible

to work together with the village

the city council to investigate the
best way to ensure appropriate

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.

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
• By Ashleigh Monk
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.”

Fire rages, homes at risk
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

to their delicious and so-moreish cream
cakes, scones and slices. It’s a perfect spot

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

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

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

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.

Sami caps top year on the bike
NEED FOR
SPEED: Leona
Jones won the
under-12 age
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.”

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

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.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved
to be a cut above the rest in an

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

It was the firs time Mr Garth
had competed in the cha lenge

how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality
products and came away
with a g od result so we’re very

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

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking t operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

Mr Winder and his team, the

He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this

was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy

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

Board chairman Mike Mora

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the

“I’d like to think so because the
city council has had their eyes

Mr Mora said the community
