Westmorland’s Alex Burrowes holds up a 2.4kg brown trout caught at Lake Henrietta, near Lake Coleridge. The 14-year-old<br />
caught the biggest fish of the day as part of the annual Lake Coleridge Fishing Competition. The competition opened the high<br />
country fishing season at the beginning of the month and was organised by North Canterbury Fish & Game. The traditional<br />
first Saturday in <strong>November</strong> opening has historically been a clarion call for many of Canterbury’s anglers. North Canterbury<br />
Fish & Game officer Steve Terry said the quality and condition of the fish being weighed was the best for years. <br />

Hot pools’<br />
green light<br />
pleases<br />
residents,<br />
businesses<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
NEW BRIGHTON residents and<br />
businesses are looking forward to<br />
the new hot pools facility being<br />
built after the final resource<br />
consents were secured for the<br />
project.<br />
They are hoping the $11.2<br />
million pool project will help<br />
bring more people into the area<br />
and boost its commercial centre.<br />
Development Christchurch Ltd<br />
confirmed last week it received<br />
resource consent from the city<br />
council for the hot pools and work<br />
is set to begin next month.<br />
Bin Inn New Brighton owner<br />
Nikki Griffin is optimistic the hot<br />
pools will help bring more people<br />
into the area.<br />
“I think it is awesome,<br />
Brighton has been wanting it for<br />
a long time . . . hopefully DCL<br />
will get on with the job and get it<br />
done,” she said.<br />
Paper Plus New Brighton<br />
owner Blair Hughes said it was<br />
“fantastic” the resource consent<br />
had been granted.<br />
But he said he would like to see<br />
the plan to extend Oram<br />
Ave brought forward as part of<br />
an upgrade of the commercial<br />
area.<br />

YOU HAVE to hand it to people like young<br />
Lilian Exton on page 5 today.<br />
She is one of about only 30<br />
people worldwide who suffer from<br />
otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia.<br />
It makes day-in day-out life very tough in<br />
comparison to others. Even putting her socks and shoes on is a<br />
mission for the 17-year-old.<br />
But Lilian and her mother Wendy tell reporter Sophie Cornish<br />
that hasn’t stopped her chasing her goals, of which she has been<br />
very successful.<br />
Lilian was recognised at the Zonta Sports Awards for the<br />
most outstanding achievement by a young sportswoman with a<br />
disability. She competes at para-events all over New Zealand in<br />
boccia and athletics.<br />
That adds to an impressive array of other sports awards.<br />
All power to her.<br />

Reserve rubble to be cleared<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
ASSURANCE HAS been given<br />
that 200 cu m of rubble will be<br />
removed over the summer from<br />
Bexley Reserve.<br />
City council staff confirmed<br />
there are plans to remove the<br />
“pit run” which will be used for<br />
remedial work around the city,<br />
for an example to fill potholes.<br />
It is after the Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board noted there<br />
were large soil piles by the Pages<br />
Rd pump station and in Bexley<br />
Reserve.<br />
The city council visited the<br />
site last month and removed<br />
two tonne of general household<br />
rubbish and builder rubble from<br />
various parts of Bexley Reserve.<br />
This was after it was reported<br />
in June illegal rubbish dumping<br />
was causing rats to populate<br />
nearby properties.<br />
Resident Paula Bartlett-Pak<br />
said the fence the city council<br />
repaired to stop people from<br />
dumping rubbish on the Anzac<br />
Drive side of the reserve has had<br />
the wire cut.<br />
She said she has notified the<br />
city council of the damage to the<br />
fence.<br />
Ms Bartlett-Pak said while<br />
she hasn’t seen any rats recently,<br />
the reserve is overrun with<br />
rabbits and she found two dead<br />
moreporks.<br />
She previously raised concerns<br />
with the city council over the<br />
lack of action being taken to<br />
remove green waste material beside<br />
the walkway and bike path<br />
in the reserve.<br />
But it turned out the piles of<br />
rubble were related to a New<br />
Zealand Transport Agency<br />
project.<br />
NZTA maintenance contract<br />
manager Barry Stratton said the<br />
rubble was a result of crews attempting<br />
to clear a drain bordering<br />
at Bexley Reserve to improve<br />
drainage in the area and reduce<br />
the potential for flooding.<br />
However, crews discovered a<br />
cable in a shallower depth than<br />
expected.<br />
Mr Stratton said as a result<br />
something that was supposed<br />
to be a simple job became more<br />
complex with the cable needing<br />
UNSIGHTLY:<br />
City council<br />
staff say there<br />
are plans<br />
to remove<br />
rubble (left)<br />

Reserve.<br />
(Below)<br />
– Green<br />
waste was<br />
scheduled to<br />
be taken away<br />
last Friday.<br />
to be relocated.<br />
He said the green waste and<br />
further rubbish was scheduled<br />
to be taken away last Friday.<br />

Youth MPs ready to represent Port Hills<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
THREE ASPIRING politicians<br />
will represent the Port Hills<br />
electorate at next year’s Youth<br />
Parliament.<br />
Woolston’s Freya Young, 17,<br />
Hillmorton’s Cha’nel Kaa-Luke,<br />
17, and Westmorland’s Azaria<br />
Howell, 16.<br />
Ruth Dyson<br />
said her selection,<br />
Cha’nel,<br />
was “a really<br />
talented young<br />
woman” who<br />
was keen,<br />
willing and<br />
Cha’nel<br />
Kaa-Luke<br />
able to be her<br />
representative<br />
at Youth<br />
Parliament.<br />
“I have always had the position<br />
of ensuring that a deaf student<br />
from Van Asch Deaf Education<br />
Centre is my Youth MP. It is<br />
part of my promotion of Deaf<br />
issues and ensures that the Youth<br />
Parliament has a deaf participant<br />
and sign language interpreters.,”<br />
Ms Dyson said.<br />
Cha’nel said she was “very<br />
proud and ready” to take on the<br />
role as she had always strived to<br />
be a leader.<br />
Some of her deaf friends had<br />
taken youth MP roles before and<br />
inspiring her to try it herself.<br />
“I had been along to watch<br />
FOCUSED: (Left) – Port Hills National Youth MP Freya Young and Nuk Korako. (Right) – Eugenie Sage and Port Hills Green Party<br />
Youth MP Azaria Howell.<br />
and I have always intrigued me<br />
as to what different people are<br />
passionate about or feel are important.<br />
I also have also had an<br />
interest in law and politics.”<br />
She said her main focus would<br />
be issues facing deaf people<br />
in New Zealand and bringing<br />
understanding and empathy to<br />
those “who struggle a bit more<br />
than the average person.”<br />
Port Hills National list MP<br />
Nuk Korako said he had made<br />
his choice based on Freya’s keen<br />
attitude and dedication.<br />
“She was the standout, very<br />
capable. I think she’s got a very<br />
good future ahead.”<br />
“This is what I love about [this]<br />
programme. You get to meet a<br />
lot of our young ones right at the<br />
start who you know then they<br />
are going to go far.”<br />
Freya said the selection was the<br />
“biggest accomplishment of my<br />
life so far.”<br />
The experienced debater and<br />
aspiring youth councillor said<br />
she would focus on championing<br />
freedom of speech and freeing<br />
business from regulation during<br />
her term as Youth MP.<br />
“I think, right now, that Government<br />
is too big.”<br />
Freya said she wanted to “emulate<br />
a real MP” for the experience<br />
and expand her knowledge of the<br />
issues facing the country.<br />
“I’ve got a real interest in politics<br />
as its definitely the best way<br />
to make changes.”<br />
Green Party Port Hills list MP<br />
Eugenie Sage’s selection Azaria<br />
Howell is an experienced representative<br />
for youth.<br />
Said Ms Sage: “I am impressed<br />
with her political engagement,<br />
her skills in the sport of fencing,<br />
always a useful skill in politics,<br />
and how she is prepared to speak<br />
out on a range of issues.”<br />
Azaria had been on the executive<br />
of the Christchurch Youth<br />
Council for a number of years<br />
and had volunteered with the<br />
Green Party.<br />
The party’s values and focus on<br />
the environment and community<br />
wellbeing aligned with hers,<br />
she said, and she was excited to<br />
be its representative.<br />
“I was really happy. I’m privileged<br />
to be in this position.”<br />
Azaria said she would work<br />
to ensure the youth voice in her<br />
area was heard.<br />
“They actually have new ideas<br />
to bring to the table.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Rare disorder doesn’t get in Lilian’s way<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
EVERYDAY TASKS such as<br />
putting on socks and shoes are<br />
difficult for Lilian Exton.<br />
But she has never let that stop<br />
her from achieving as much as<br />
she possibly can.<br />
The 17-year-old lives with an<br />
extremely rare growth disorder,<br />
otospondylomegaepiphyseal<br />
dysplasia, one of only 30 people<br />
worldwide who suffer from the<br />
condition.<br />
It affects the end of her bones,<br />
where the joints are, so they<br />
change shape and are enlarged.<br />
When she was younger, Lilian<br />
would grow 1cm every month,<br />
twice as fast as her peers.<br />
Now between 186-190cm tall<br />
(her actual height is unknown<br />
due to difficulty measuring her),<br />
Lilian has been recognised at<br />
the Zonta Sports Awards for the<br />
most outstanding achievement<br />
by a young sportswoman with a<br />
disability.<br />
She competes at para-events all<br />
over New Zealand in boccia and<br />
athletics. Boccia is an adaptive<br />
sport for para-athletes, similar to<br />
petanque and bowls.<br />
Earlier this year, Lilian won the<br />
Canterbury secondary schools<br />
boccia championships and South<br />
Island boccia championships.<br />
Previously she was named<br />
‘emerging talent of the year’ at<br />
the Parafed Canterbury 50th<br />
Anniversary Sports Awards.<br />
She was also named most<br />
improved player of the year at<br />
the New Zealand boccia<br />
nationals and top female athlete<br />
at the Halberg Junior Disability<br />
Games last year.<br />
Lilian won both the discus<br />
and shotput at the Canterbury<br />
secondary schools competition<br />
and took out the discus at the<br />
South Island competition earlier<br />
this year.<br />
It was when Lilian was about<br />
four-years-old that her parents<br />
noticed some unusual signs.<br />
Said Lilian’s mother Wendy<br />
Exton: “It was a bit of a<br />
rollercoaster ride really. Every<br />
child hits their milestones at<br />
different ages, but there were<br />
just some things with Lilian that<br />
were different to her sister – her<br />
movements were quite different.”<br />
It took several visits to doctors<br />
and specialists to understand<br />
Lilian’s rare condition. The<br />
family is not aware of anyone<br />
WINNERS ARE<br />
GRINNERS: Lilian<br />
Exton’s success in<br />
both boccia and<br />
athletics has won<br />
her a Zonta Sports<br />
Award.<br />
else in New Zealand with the<br />
disorder.<br />
“The doctors are along the<br />
journey with us, they are<br />
learning from Lilian . . . really<br />
we just have to take each day as it<br />
comes. Lilian has got very good<br />
at adapting things for herself,”<br />
said Mrs Exton.<br />
When Lilian was in year 4, she<br />
started using a wheelchair as the<br />
arthritic-like pain in her bones<br />
became too uncomfortable. Now<br />
she uses a power wheelchair,<br />
and in 20<strong>13</strong> with help from The<br />
Star, almost $30,000 was raised<br />
for Lilian’s family so they could<br />
purchase a van to transport<br />
the chair. With this came great<br />
freedom, said Mrs Exton.<br />
Lilian has a busy social life,<br />
goes to parties and has a closeknit<br />

goes, her chair can go,” said Mrs<br />
Exton.<br />
She has just completed year <strong>13</strong><br />
at Avonside Girls’ High School<br />
and has plans to work with<br />
children with disabilities.<br />
On Tuesday night at the<br />
school’s prize-giving, Lilian was<br />
awarded three prizes, one being<br />
the The Joan Conder Memorial<br />
Cup, which is given to a student<br />
who epitomises the school’s<br />
values.<br />
In the future, Lilian hopes to<br />
compete at boccia tournaments<br />
in Australia, as well as travel to<br />
other countries.<br />
Throughout her life, Lilian has<br />
experienced people being unkind<br />
because of her disability. “I get<br />
a lot of stares, people pointing,<br />
laughing or whispering. People<br />
come up and ask personal<br />
questions,” she said.<br />
With help from her friends<br />
and family, Lilian has learned<br />
to brush off other people’s<br />
behaviour. “No one is normal,<br />
some just stick out more than<br />
others,” she said.<br />

SKILLS: Well-known Southshore artist Kim Lowe has won a top national art award. She has received the prestigious 2019<br />
Olivia Spencer Bower Award, a scholarship established to support artists. Lowe said it was huge and a great honour to be<br />
a recipient. As well as winning a grant of $30,000, it is likely Lowe will be offered a year-long studio residency in central<br />
Christchurch. While it had not yet been confirmed, the Olivia Spencer Bower Foundation is hoping a studio space will be<br />
available at the Christchurch Arts Centre for when the residency begins in January.<br />
Isolation issues<br />
discussions<br />
planned<br />
ANOTHER STEP has been taken<br />
to help bring a disaster psychologist<br />
in to Dallington to investigate postearthquake<br />
issues.<br />
The Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board held a seminar on<br />
Monday to discuss what needs to<br />
be done to bring the plan into fruition.<br />
It was decided the board’s<br />
community development adviser<br />
Natalie Dally will talk to volunteers<br />
and leaders in Dallington as well<br />
as areas including Southshore and<br />
Avondale to gauge key social isolation<br />
issues.<br />
It is after the Dallington Community<br />
Trust asked for funding<br />
from the board to have a psychologist<br />
look at issues in the area and<br />
develop a wellness programme.<br />
The programme developed for<br />
Dallington could set a precedent<br />
for other isolated areas.<br />
Pegasus Post reported last<br />
month Australian disaster recovery<br />
expert and psychologist Dr Rob<br />
Gordon could be brought in to<br />
investigate.<br />
Trust chairwoman and board<br />
member Linda Stewart said a<br />
decision has not yet been made but<br />
it did “float some strategies” at the<br />
seminar.<br />
Experience Ara provides high school<br />
students a taste of tertiary<br />
Advertorial<br />
For high school students<br />
choosing a future career<br />
can be a daunting prospect. To<br />
give students a chance to try<br />
before they buy, Ara Institute of<br />
Canterbury has expanded their<br />
programme of taster sessions<br />
to cater for juniors picking their<br />
NCEA subjects, as well as seniors<br />
figuring out their next steps.<br />
Imagine trying out being a web<br />
developer for a day, a performing<br />
arts student at NASDA, or an<br />
engineer. Experience Ara is aiding students to<br />
close the gap between reading about something<br />
and actually giving it a go.<br />
The Experience Ara programme has proven<br />
hugely successful in providing high school<br />
students with a taste of tertiary study, and a<br />
hands-on way to explore their interests. In<br />
<strong>2018</strong>, 2344 students have registered to 269<br />
events offered in a range of tertiary subjects<br />
including Science, Creative Industries, Trades<br />
and Business. Out of all the young people who<br />
registered for Experience Ara <strong>2018</strong>, 911 have<br />
applied to study with Ara in 2019.<br />
Due to high demand, the new programme<br />
for 2019 has even more occurrences and a<br />
broader variety of events. For 2019, Ara has<br />
proposed 242 events, with exciting new additions<br />
such as Introduction to Medical Imaging,<br />
Diving into Data Computing Taster and Builder<br />
for a Day.<br />
Emma West, Ara Engagement Manager said,<br />
“By providing a range of experiential opportunities,<br />
in subject areas that align with employment<br />
opportunities, we are playing a part in<br />
helping young people to make big decisions.”<br />
A year <strong>13</strong> from Catholic Cathedral College<br />
who attended the Re: Structure Portfolio<br />
Workshop for students interested in architecture<br />
said they appreciated the personal<br />
guidance that it gave them, and they now<br />
have “clear knowledge of the course they want<br />
to take.”<br />
Ara is not only the largest tertiary institute in<br />
the South Island, it’s also one of the top-ranking<br />
institutes in New Zealand, with one of the<br />
highest course completion rates in the country.<br />
Students can register online to attend junior<br />
taster sessions (years 9-10), senior taster<br />
sessions (years 11-<strong>13</strong>), holiday workshops,<br />
and NCEA credited STAR courses.<br />

Exhibition of three artists<br />
THREE ARTISTS from the<br />
Sumner and Redcliffs area<br />
will showcase their work next<br />
week in a studio not normally<br />
accessible by the public.<br />
Sumner’s Jo Ogier would<br />
exhibit her own work alongside<br />
the work of Sheila Brown and Jo<br />
Loughnan at her own Scarborough<br />
studio on <strong>November</strong> 24.<br />
All three artists draw their<br />
inspiration from the people and<br />
environment around them.<br />
Ogier had received a number<br />
of scholarships and awards both<br />
in New Zealand and Australia<br />
since starting her full-time career<br />
as an artist in 2000.<br />
Her watercolours and printed<br />
works often focused on the<br />
endemic species of flora and<br />
Jo Loughnan<br />
Sheila Brown<br />
fauna of Banks Peninsula and<br />
elsewhere.<br />
Loughnan split her time<br />
between her after-school art programme,<br />
running adult drawing<br />
classes and producing her own<br />
work for exhibitions.<br />
Using a mix of inks, pastels,<br />
charcoal and paints, Loughnan<br />
preferred to work on portraits<br />
and figures.<br />
Another award-winning<br />
artist, Brown, grew up on the<br />
East Coast of the United States,<br />
spending weekends in the<br />
mountains of New Hampshire.<br />
“This is where my love of<br />
nature began and my dream of<br />
being an artist,” she said.<br />
Brown moved to New Zealand<br />
in 1994 and later became a fulltime<br />
artist in 2005.<br />
The artist focussed on her love<br />
of birds as inspiration, saying<br />
acrylics best suited her “crossover<br />
style” of expressionism and<br />
abstract.<br />

CAR THIEVES who took a car<br />
from Aidanfield on a joyride on<br />
Tuesday morning found that<br />
dumping it in Lyttelton Harbour<br />
was harder than they thought.<br />
The stolen car was reported<br />
to police at 5.45am after it was<br />
found dangling precariously over<br />
the water’s edge in the Naval<br />
Point parking area, near the<br />
Godley Quay, Cyrus Williams<br />
Quay intersection in Lyttelton.<br />
Lyttelton Police supervisor<br />
Sergeant Franco Lovrich said he<br />
suspected the car would have<br />
been taken by youths, however,<br />
police had no suspects as yet.<br />
“It’s been taken for a bit of joyride<br />
and it’s done a few wheelies<br />

Sergeant Lovrich said it appeared<br />
the car had been left in<br />
gear with the “intention of driving<br />
it off the edge.”<br />
However, that plan did not<br />
work out, Sergeant Lovrich said,<br />
with the car prevented from entering<br />
the water by the rocks and<br />
the angle of the descent.<br />
The vehicle had since been<br />
removed. As the owner was<br />
overseas, family members<br />
arranged to have it towed.<br />

FALLEN: The 1985 container crane collapse at the port and memories from a time when people could explore the port freely are told in a new app called Our<br />
Stories Project.<br />
Lyttelton stories app goes live<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
MORE THAN a dozen stories<br />
from Lyttelton people about their<br />
suburb are available at the touch<br />
of a button.<br />
The Our Stories Project phone<br />
app was launched on Thursday<br />
and will share stories about<br />
Lyttelton when users are near<br />
places associated with the tale.<br />
Creator and Lyttelton resident<br />
Kris Herbert said the free app<br />
may be launched this week on<br />
Apple and Android devices, with<br />
the port stories available as a<br />
one-off purchase.<br />
Audio recordings of stories<br />
from 20 current and former<br />
Lyttelton residents have been<br />
collated in the app.<br />
Users will be able to listen to<br />
the recordings at any time, but<br />
Ms Herbert said the best way<br />
to use it was while exploring<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
The app could be set to alert<br />
the user or auto-play a story<br />
when they are near the place<br />
associated with the story.<br />
“It’s a beautiful way to<br />
understand a place,” Ms Herbert<br />
said.<br />
“There’s something magical<br />
about putting story and place<br />

Ms Herbert, a freelance<br />
journalist, said the project<br />
began in 2016, with pupils from<br />
Lyttelton Primary School doing<br />
the interviews.<br />
She said the pupils were given<br />
set questions but were “welcome<br />
to ask any other questions that<br />
came to mind.”<br />
The interviews had been a<br />
good way to build connections<br />
in the port, Ms Herbert said.<br />
Her favourite example was when<br />
a group of “hoodie-wearing”<br />
teens interviewed a 98-year-old <br />
woman.<br />
“Watching these teenage boys<br />
. . . hearing stories of World War<br />
2, the port strikes, polio scares,<br />
I just saw their jaws drop. They<br />
were understanding that these<br />
historical events were real.”<br />
Some of the stories cropped up<br />
multiple times like the infamous<br />
Goat Man who was said to have<br />
lurked in the Canterbury St<br />
Cemetery.<br />
“There was a real era where<br />
there was someone that kids<br />
were scared of around the<br />
cemetery. I think eventually we<br />
will make a whole Goat Man<br />
tour.”<br />
The revolution in heat pumps is here now!<br />

Kirkwood Opportunities<br />
‘Schooling for the Whole Child’<br />
At Kirkwood we are very proud of our children and their achievements. Our pupils have many opportunities to participate<br />
in a wide range of education activities including Technology; ICT; Music; Drama; Education Outside The Classroom;<br />
Leadership roles; Camps; Academic challenges; and Sports. Our pupils develop a wide range of skills which helps them<br />
develop educationally, socially, emotionally and physically during their time with us. Just a few of the opportunities our<br />
pupils have experienced this year are as follows:<br />
Education Outside the<br />
Classroom<br />
We visit many different places within our community<br />
such as Canterbury Museum, Riccarton House<br />
and the Art Gallery. We also offer class camps for<br />
our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils. This year our Year<br />
7’s camped at Purau Bay where they experienced<br />
canoeing, abseiling and camping skills, along<br />
with getting to know their class and developing<br />
friendships.<br />
Our Year 8 pupils are currently enjoying their<br />
Wellington camp. These camps provide<br />
great opportunities for learning and personal<br />
development.<br />
China Trip<br />
Part way through the July school holidays, Ethan, Brooke, Aaliya, Casper,<br />
Mackenzie, Lauren, Ryan, Alexander, Katie and Grace and two teachers<br />
had the opportunity to explore China. This was the first Panda camp we<br />
have attended.<br />
The following article was written by Katie and Alex:<br />
‘The Temple of Heaven, the Pearl Markets, the Summer Palace and<br />
seeing the general lifestyle of the Chinese people. They were able to see<br />
some beautiful buildings with long, rich histories of emperors and different<br />
dynasties. Haggling is common at the Pearl Markets and was a very<br />
different experience for us, which encouraged us to quickly learn about<br />
converting yuan into New Zealand dollars to get a good price. We also<br />
really enjoyed the boat ride across the Emperor’s lake; there have been<br />
many great memories made as a group.<br />
Our days at the Chinese school were busy - making new friends, teaching<br />
rakau and the cup song, learning Chinese calligraphy and songs as well as<br />
experiencing a huge school cafeteria, which was a very different experience!<br />
It was a great opportunity to see how school works in a different country<br />
and try new things. We all enjoyed teaching physical education games such<br />
as elastics and a football/badminton game that we pretty much invented.<br />
Duck, duck, goose was also a favourite amongst the pupils in China!<br />
We were fortunate to continue to travel and see incredible sights such as<br />
The Great Wall of China, where we were all able to walk a section. Another<br />
highlight was the Beijing Zoo, it was a great chance to see some rare<br />
animals but the living conditions were very sad. In addition to these places<br />
we also visited the 2008 Olympic venues, the Water Cube and the Bird’s<br />
Nest, as well as the Olympic torch and Olympic Village areas which we<br />
found to be interesting. Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City also<br />
hold important places in Chinese history and often we were in awe of how<br />
immense these places are in addition to hearing about the incredible history<br />
behind the building of these structures. The National Museum of China was<br />
also very impressive in both the artwork and size of the building!<br />
We will all recall some amazing chances to explore a different culture, some<br />
interesting memories for us as Kirkwood United and the opportunity to<br />
represent Kirkwood with pride as global youth ambassadors. We would like<br />
to say a huge thank you to Miss Toaolamai and Mr Gaut for their support<br />
on the trip. Thank you to our parents for encouraging us to take up such an<br />
awesome opportunity. We all had an amazing time and hope to see more<br />
Kirkwood students exploring the world in years to come!<br />
Sports<br />
We participate in a large variety of sports including: Netball, Football, Cross<br />
Country, Skiing, Swimming, Rugby, Basketball, Waterpolo, Touch Rugby, Korf<br />
Ball, Table Tennis, Badminton, Athletics and Gymnastics. We also compete in<br />
the Canterbury Association of Intermediate and Middle Schooling competitions.<br />
Our school is well known for the courtesy, co-operation and sportsmanship<br />
of our teams and we value this highly. Some of the highlights this year are as<br />
follows:<br />
Example from last year:<br />
Korfball Tournament - We sent two teams to the Canterbury Korfball<br />
Tournament. Bowls Tournament - we had 12 successfully compete at the<br />
Canterbury Bowls Tournament. Table Tennis - 4 of our Table Tennis teams<br />
were placed in the top 3 of their weekly competition. Girls’ Basketball team<br />
were placed third in their Friday evening competition.<br />
Many of our pupils have been selected to represent Canterbury and/or have<br />
been selected for the Nationals in various sports which makes our school proud.<br />
Technology<br />
Our on-site technology centre provides our pupils<br />
with a range of creative learning experiences in<br />
different areas: Foods, Electronics, Robotics and<br />
Materials (metal, wood, fabric and plastic). Our<br />
pupils have created a large variety of work this<br />
year. We also participate in Robofest, Future in<br />
Tech programmes, EPro8 and 3D printing.<br />
Programmes focus on Planning for Practice, Brief<br />
Development and Outcome Evaluation.<br />
ICT: We have pods of touch screen laptops,<br />
ordinary laptops and Chromebooks<br />
for classroom use to enable pupils<br />
to develop their skills. Pupils are<br />
also welcome to bring their own<br />
technology. More pupils are doing<br />
this each year. We recommend that<br />
parents check which devices are<br />
used at the High School they think<br />
their children will be attending.<br />
Blues Awards<br />
Outstanding achievements, whether they<br />
are personal or at school, are celebrated<br />
via our Blues Awards system. Our<br />
students can achieve a Blues Award in<br />
various areas such as Cultural, Sports<br />
and Academic.<br />
An Outstanding Elite Blues Award may<br />
be achieved if a student has achieved an<br />
Academic, Cultural and a Sporting Blue.<br />
There are quite strict criteria for receiving<br />
a Blue and these are outlined on our<br />
website www.kirkwood.school.nz<br />
School Production<br />
Every second year we produce a school<br />
performance for all interested pupils. Our<br />
next School Production will be in 2019.<br />
Don’t forget, there are still some places available for Year 7 and Year 8 for 2019.<br />

during the week. Starting with<br />
25 members, that number doubled<br />
to 50 within its first month.<br />
“It was a surprise to those who<br />
started the band . . . that it’s still<br />
thriving and playing 25 years<br />
later,” Mrs Penter said.<br />
Founding and oldest member<br />
CAMARADERIE: The 50s Up Brass Band will celebrating its 25th year with a concert later this<br />
month.<br />
99-year-old Mel Smith said<br />
“lusty blowing” and the group’s<br />
camaraderie had maintained his<br />
good health.<br />
Mrs Penter agreed with Mr<br />
Smith’s view, saying the music<br />
was what kept her going in her<br />
retirement over the three years<br />
she had been a member.<br />
“That’s what we’re all here for,<br />
the music.<br />
“They’re a good crew, they’re a<br />
lot of laughs.”<br />
The band’s new conductor, Columbian<br />
born Pablo Ruiz Henao,<br />
had also been with the group for<br />
three years.<br />
“He’s wonderful, he’s lifted the<br />
band quite a bit,” Mrs Penter said.<br />
A professional bass trombonist<br />
with the Christchurch<br />
Symphony Orchestra, Mr Henao<br />
took the role on after former<br />
conductor Les France retired due<br />
to his health.<br />
“But [Mr France has] come<br />
back to the band, now he plays<br />
the euphonium,” Mrs Penter<br />
said.<br />
Mrs Penter said the group was<br />
still “essentially a brass band,”<br />
playing the classics, military<br />
numbers, a “bit of jazz” and<br />
“modern” songs from Elvis and<br />

NEED FOR<br />
SPEED: Leona<br />

under-12 age<br />
group at the<br />
Australian ice<br />
speed skating<br />
champs in<br />
Melbourne.<br />

LAURA<br />
JONES<br />
Big future for speed<br />
skater from Opawa club<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
WHEN OPAWA’S Canterbury<br />
Alpine Ice Speed Skating Club<br />
member Leona Jones first got<br />
on the ice, she spent most of her<br />
time falling down – but now<br />
she’s winning trophies.<br />
Her time spent training at<br />
the club has paid off, earning<br />
her an under-12 title at the<br />
Australian ice speed skating<br />
championships in Melbourne.<br />
Leona, 11, prefers the shorter<br />
distance races, such as the<br />
111m, 222m, and 333m, thanks<br />
to her fast starts.<br />
Her mum Laura took Leona<br />
ice skating for the first time<br />
when she was four, expecting it<br />
to be a one-time experience.<br />
“She spent most of the first<br />
time falling over and getting her<br />
clothes absolutely soaked and I<br />
thought she’d come off the ice<br />
and hate it, but afterwards she<br />
told me she absolutely loved it.”<br />
Leona trains twice a<br />
week on the ice, where she<br />
works on making her legs<br />
stronger and her technique<br />
sharper.<br />
She also does some training at<br />
Hagley Park away from the ice.<br />
She said when she had her<br />
first race as a six-year-old, she<br />
knew the sport was for her after<br />
she fell over but still won.<br />
Leona said she wants to<br />
go as far as her talent can take<br />
her.<br />
“I’d like to compete at<br />
the junior world championships<br />
when I am old enough (15)<br />
and then the Winter Olympics<br />
is a definite dream of mine.”<br />
Consent granted for hot pools<br />
•From page 1<br />
Mr Hughes said it was hard to<br />
say if New Brighton’s commercial<br />
area was struggling because the<br />
whole country’s retail sector is<br />
suffering due to increases in the<br />
cost of living, petrol and food<br />
prices.<br />
Uncertainty still lies over<br />
whether the hot pools will have<br />
a flow-on effect for reviving the<br />
commercial centre of the suburb.<br />
Eastern Vision spokesman<br />
Evan Smith said it is a step in<br />
the right direction but he would<br />
like to see more priority given to<br />
the regeneration of the business<br />
district.<br />
It has been previously reported<br />
businesses were lacking confidence<br />
that the city council was<br />
going to follow through on its<br />
approved New Brighton Centre<br />
Master Plan.<br />
Three years ago the city council<br />
approved the plan which was to<br />
extend Oram Ave through to the<br />
main thoroughfare of Hawke St.<br />
This was to create a new northsouth<br />
shopping and entertainment<br />
precinct.<br />
“It is all very well bringing this<br />
into the area but unless the issues<br />
in the business district are dealt<br />
with as proposing the master plan<br />
then the regeneration of New<br />
Brighton is still going<br />
to remain stalled,” Mr Smith said.<br />
He said the business area in<br />
SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
GREEN LIGHT: An artist’s impression showing what the New<br />
Brighton hot pools will look like when completed. Resource<br />
consents have been secured to allow work to begin on the<br />
facility next month.<br />
New Brighton has not reached its<br />
potential because the plan has not<br />
yet been implemented.<br />
Northshore Residents’ Association<br />
chairwoman Jayne Mark said<br />
the hot pools are a good thing<br />
that will improve and bring more<br />
people the area and make it more<br />
attractive.<br />
She said currently the business<br />
area in general looks “bad and<br />
derelict” and it was understandable<br />
why people didn’t want to go<br />
to the area.<br />

Stedman picks up Cashmere<br />
High’s top sports award again<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
CASHMERE sprinter William<br />
Stedman has been named<br />
Middleton Grange School’s<br />
sportsman of the year for the<br />
third consecutive time.<br />
The 2016 Rio Paralympic<br />
bronze medallist, who has cerebral<br />
palsy, won four gold medals<br />
at the national championships in<br />
March. He won the 200m, 400m,<br />
800m and long jump.<br />
The 18-year-old said he was<br />
hugely honoured by the feat.<br />
“It’s extremely humbling to win<br />
the award once, let alone three<br />
times.”<br />
He said winning a mainstream<br />
award as a disabled athlete was a<br />
sign of the times.<br />
“You’re seeing para-sports<br />
becoming more integrated with<br />
regular events and that’s really<br />
exciting to see.”<br />
William started running<br />
after watching the London<br />
Paralympics in 2012. “I started<br />
running longer distances and<br />
cross-country events for my club,<br />
Port Hills, but I was encouraged<br />
to try sprint distances because I<br />
was still young in 2014.”<br />
He and coach George Edwards<br />
have been a team since then.<br />
“George and I get on really well<br />
and he’s great at coaching me to<br />
coach myself and explaining why<br />
we do certain things.”<br />
William has the world championships<br />
in the latter part of next<br />
year to focus on, but said winning<br />
Paralympic gold in 2020 was<br />
his ultimate focus.<br />
“Having a big break between<br />
major events has allowed me to<br />
focus on my form and actually<br />
see the progression as it happens,”<br />
he said.<br />
“It can be hard to try to peak<br />
three times a year so with world<br />
champs still a year away, it’s been<br />

a big plus for me to just concentrate<br />
on training.<br />
“I think the long jump is where<br />
I have my best chance and while<br />
I’m not bad at the 400m, it’s not<br />
the most pleasant event for me,”<br />
he said. “It hurts.”<br />
William wants to study<br />
engineering part-time at<br />
Canterbury University while<br />
continuing to focus on athletics.<br />

CASHMERE HIGH School<br />
appears to have a talented crop<br />
of year 9 cricketers coming<br />
through their ranks.<br />
The team beat their St<br />
Thomas counterparts by<br />
172 runs in their round one<br />
match of the New Zealand<br />
Community Trust knockout<br />
competition at St Thomas.<br />
Cashmere made 215 from<br />
their 30 overs after batting first<br />
and dismissed St Thomas for<br />
just 43 in reply.<br />
Dallas Crowe top scored with<br />
89, while Toby Hull took four<br />
wickets. The team will now<br />
travel to play Christ’s College in<br />
the second round at a date yet to<br />
be confirmed.<br />
Teacher Andrew Coburn<br />
said a new batch of the<br />
players have come through<br />
the Sydenham Cricket Club<br />
junior ranks and had embraced<br />

Cashmere’s school-wide cricket<br />
programme.<br />
“The programme has been<br />
going for the last two seasons<br />
and this group of year 9s have<br />
really taken it too it, both in<br />
term one and now in term four.”<br />
“They’ve been offered coaching<br />
sessions during lunch times<br />
and they all seem really keen.”<br />
Coburn said the Sydenham<br />
Cricket Club have been supportive<br />
offering them access to<br />
coaching resources.<br />
Coburn said the team is<br />
excited at the prospect of taking<br />
on one of Canterbury’s powerhouse<br />
cricket school’s on their<br />
own pitch.<br />
‘We’ve got nothing to lose<br />
and I think it’s a great<br />
opportunity for us to continue<br />
to improve.”<br />
If Cashmere can beat Christ’s,<br />
they will progress to round<br />
three which will be played early<br />
in term one.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />
council.”<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffere damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />

However, the public has li tle<br />
interest in having input into the<br />

Only eight submi sions were<br />
received for a potential bylaw<br />
aimed at regulating commercial<br />
activities in public places.<br />
The district council wi l be<br />
holding a hearing for the Public<br />
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />
Activities and Events in<br />
Public Places.<br />
A hearing i scheduled to be<br />
held on Thursday.<br />
The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />
number of mobile traders<br />
are s eking t operate in Selwyn,<br />
especia ly during the summer<br />
months.<br />
In the past year, the district<br />
council has received five inquiries<br />
about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />
on private or public land.<br />
A report said there are two<br />

The New Zealand Mounted<br />
Rifles Charitable Trust president<br />
Mark A pleton and member<br />
Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />
horses to the sch ol on Monday,<br />
in a bid to educate pupils on the<br />

a rived a the sch ol dre sed<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />
to the trust.<br />
The presentation is a prelude<br />
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />
Management Commi t e’s<br />
upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />
As a tribute to those who<br />
served, members of the trust wi l<br />
ride horseback to the service.<br />
Mr A pleton said it was<br />
important children were<br />
educated on what soldiers<br />
wen through during World<br />
War 1 and World War 2.<br />
But he said the presentation<br />
didn’t go into t o much detail<br />
and was more of a “show and<br />
te l” to make them aware of what<br />
the soldiers l oked like.<br />
Children were shown the type<br />
of kits horses were required to<br />
wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />
since the age of 19.<br />

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />

from the city council to make a<br />
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />
for a resource consen to create a<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
told Western News the submi sion<br />
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />
plan.<br />
“You can just about guarant e<br />
it . because we [the community<br />
board] don’t believe qua ries<br />
should be so close to residential<br />
areas,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />
board’ submi sion.<br />
“I’d like to think so because the<br />
city council has had their eyes<br />
open as we l ove recent years over<br />
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board wi l be “representing and<br />
