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 />

from Bexley<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 />

group of friends. “Where she<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 />

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 />

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 />

Concern Canterbury for retired<br />

players over 50 to meet and play<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 />

Jones won the<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 />

Talented crop of cricketers<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 />

i sue.<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 />

str et operators in Darfield, a<br />

The New Zealand Mounted<br />

Mark A pleton and member<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />

to the trust.<br />

The presentation is a prelude<br />

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />

Management Commi t e’s<br />

As a tribute to those who<br />

served, members of the trust wi l<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 />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />

Children were shown the type<br />

of kits horses were required to<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 />

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />

from the city council to make 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 />
