Westmorland’s Alex Burrowes holds up a 2.4kg brown trout caught at Lake Henrietta, near Lake Coleridge. The 14-year-old 

caught the biggest fish of the day as part of the annual Lake Coleridge Fishing Competition. The competition opened the high 

country fishing season at the beginning of the month and was organised by North Canterbury Fish & Game. The traditional 

first Saturday in November opening has historically been a clarion call for many of Canterbury’s anglers. North Canterbury 

Fish & Game officer Steve Terry said the quality and condition of the fish being weighed was the best for years.

Hot pools’ 

green light 

pleases 

residents, 

businesses 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

NEW BRIGHTON residents and 

businesses are looking forward to 

the new hot pools facility being 

built after the final resource 

consents were secured for the 

project. 

They are hoping the $11.2 

million pool project will help 

bring more people into the area 

and boost its commercial centre. 

Development Christchurch Ltd 

confirmed last week it received 

resource consent from the city 

council for the hot pools and work 

is set to begin next month. 

Bin Inn New Brighton owner 

Nikki Griffin is optimistic the hot 

pools will help bring more people 

into the area. 

“I think it is awesome, 

Brighton has been wanting it for 

a long time . . . hopefully DCL 

will get on with the job and get it 

done,” she said. 

Paper Plus New Brighton 

owner Blair Hughes said it was 

“fantastic” the resource consent 

had been granted. 

But he said he would like to see 

the plan to extend Oram 

Ave brought forward as part of 

an upgrade of the commercial 

area.

YOU HAVE to hand it to people like young 

Lilian Exton on page 5 today. 

She is one of about only 30 

people worldwide who suffer from 

otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia. 

It makes day-in day-out life very tough in 

comparison to others. Even putting her socks and shoes on is a 

mission for the 17-year-old. 

But Lilian and her mother Wendy tell reporter Sophie Cornish 

that hasn’t stopped her chasing her goals, of which she has been 

very successful. 

Lilian was recognised at the Zonta Sports Awards for the 

most outstanding achievement by a young sportswoman with a 

disability. She competes at para-events all over New Zealand in 

boccia and athletics. 

That adds to an impressive array of other sports awards. 

All power to her.

Reserve rubble to be cleared 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

ASSURANCE HAS been given 

that 200 cu m of rubble will be 

removed over the summer from 

Bexley Reserve. 

City council staff confirmed 

there are plans to remove the 

“pit run” which will be used for 

remedial work around the city, 

for an example to fill potholes. 

It is after the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board noted there 

were large soil piles by the Pages 

Rd pump station and in Bexley 

Reserve. 

The city council visited the 

site last month and removed 

two tonne of general household 

rubbish and builder rubble from 

various parts of Bexley Reserve. 

This was after it was reported 

in June illegal rubbish dumping 

was causing rats to populate 

nearby properties. 

Resident Paula Bartlett-Pak 

said the fence the city council 

repaired to stop people from 

dumping rubbish on the Anzac 

Drive side of the reserve has had 

the wire cut. 

She said she has notified the 

city council of the damage to the 

fence. 

Ms Bartlett-Pak said while 

she hasn’t seen any rats recently, 

the reserve is overrun with 

rabbits and she found two dead 

moreporks. 

She previously raised concerns 

with the city council over the 

lack of action being taken to 

remove green waste material beside 

the walkway and bike path 

in the reserve. 

But it turned out the piles of 

rubble were related to a New 

Zealand Transport Agency 

project. 

NZTA maintenance contract 

manager Barry Stratton said the 

rubble was a result of crews attempting 

to clear a drain bordering 

at Bexley Reserve to improve 

drainage in the area and reduce 

the potential for flooding. 

However, crews discovered a 

cable in a shallower depth than 

expected. 

Mr Stratton said as a result 

something that was supposed 

to be a simple job became more 

complex with the cable needing

to be taken away last Friday.

Youth MPs ready to represent Port Hills 

• By Matt Salmons 

THREE ASPIRING politicians 

will represent the Port Hills 

electorate at next year’s Youth 

Parliament. 

Woolston’s Freya Young, 17, 

Hillmorton’s Cha’nel Kaa-Luke, 

17, and Westmorland’s Azaria 

Howell, 16. 

Ruth Dyson 

said her selection, 

Cha’nel, 

was “a really 

talented young 

woman” who 

was keen, 

willing and 

Cha’nel 

Kaa-Luke 

able to be her 

representative 

at Youth 

Parliament. 

“I have always had the position 

of ensuring that a deaf student 

from Van Asch Deaf Education 

Centre is my Youth MP. It is 

part of my promotion of Deaf 

issues and ensures that the Youth 

Parliament has a deaf participant 

and sign language interpreters.,” 

Ms Dyson said. 

Cha’nel said she was “very 

proud and ready” to take on the 

role as she had always strived to 

be a leader. 

Some of her deaf friends had 

taken youth MP roles before and 

inspiring her to try it herself. 

“I had been along to watch 

FOCUSED: (Left) – Port Hills National Youth MP Freya Young and Nuk Korako. (Right) – Eugenie Sage and Port Hills Green Party 

Youth MP Azaria Howell. 

and I have always intrigued me 

as to what different people are 

passionate about or feel are important. 

I also have also had an 

interest in law and politics.” 

She said her main focus would 

be issues facing deaf people 

in New Zealand and bringing 

understanding and empathy to 

those “who struggle a bit more 

than the average person.” 

Port Hills National list MP 

Nuk Korako said he had made 

his choice based on Freya’s keen 

attitude and dedication. 

“She was the standout, very 

capable. I think she’s got a very 

good future ahead.” 

“This is what I love about [this] 

programme. You get to meet a 

lot of our young ones right at the 

start who you know then they 

are going to go far.” 

Freya said the selection was the 

“biggest accomplishment of my 

life so far.” 

The experienced debater and 

aspiring youth councillor said 

she would focus on championing 

freedom of speech and freeing 

business from regulation during 

her term as Youth MP. 

“I think, right now, that Government 

is too big.” 

Freya said she wanted to “emulate 

a real MP” for the experience 

and expand her knowledge of the 

issues facing the country. 

“I’ve got a real interest in politics 

as its definitely the best way 

to make changes.” 

Green Party Port Hills list MP 

Eugenie Sage’s selection Azaria 

Howell is an experienced representative 

for youth. 

Said Ms Sage: “I am impressed 

with her political engagement, 

her skills in the sport of fencing, 

always a useful skill in politics, 

and how she is prepared to speak 

out on a range of issues.” 

Azaria had been on the executive 

of the Christchurch Youth 

Council for a number of years 

and had volunteered with the 

Green Party. 

The party’s values and focus on 

the environment and community 

wellbeing aligned with hers, 

she said, and she was excited to 

be its representative. 

“I was really happy. I’m privileged 

to be in this position.” 

Azaria said she would work 

to ensure the youth voice in her 

area was heard. 

“They actually have new ideas 

to bring to the table.”

Rare disorder doesn’t get in Lilian’s way 

• By Sophie Cornish 

EVERYDAY TASKS such as 

putting on socks and shoes are 

difficult for Lilian Exton. 

But she has never let that stop 

her from achieving as much as 

she possibly can. 

The 17-year-old lives with an 

extremely rare growth disorder, 

otospondylomegaepiphyseal 

dysplasia, one of only 30 people 

worldwide who suffer from the 

condition. 

It affects the end of her bones, 

where the joints are, so they 

change shape and are enlarged. 

When she was younger, Lilian 

would grow 1cm every month, 

twice as fast as her peers. 

Now between 186-190cm tall 

(her actual height is unknown 

due to difficulty measuring her), 

Lilian has been recognised at 

the Zonta Sports Awards for the 

most outstanding achievement 

by a young sportswoman with a 

disability. 

She competes at para-events all 

over New Zealand in boccia and 

athletics. Boccia is an adaptive 

sport for para-athletes, similar to 

petanque and bowls. 

Earlier this year, Lilian won the 

Canterbury secondary schools 

boccia championships and South 

Island boccia championships. 

Previously she was named 

‘emerging talent of the year’ at 

the Parafed Canterbury 50th 

Anniversary Sports Awards. 

She was also named most 

improved player of the year at 

the New Zealand boccia 

nationals and top female athlete 

at the Halberg Junior Disability 

Games last year. 

Lilian won both the discus 

and shotput at the Canterbury 

secondary schools competition 

and took out the discus at the 

South Island competition earlier 

this year. 

It was when Lilian was about 

four-years-old that her parents 

noticed some unusual signs. 

Said Lilian’s mother Wendy 

Exton: “It was a bit of a 

rollercoaster ride really. Every 

child hits their milestones at 

different ages, but there were 

just some things with Lilian that 

were different to her sister – her 

movements were quite different.” 

It took several visits to doctors 

and specialists to understand 

Lilian’s rare condition. The 

family is not aware of anyone 

WINNERS ARE 

GRINNERS: Lilian 

Exton’s success in 

both boccia and 

athletics has won 

her a Zonta Sports 

Award. 

else in New Zealand with the 

disorder. 

“The doctors are along the 

journey with us, they are 

learning from Lilian . . . really 

we just have to take each day as it 

comes. Lilian has got very good 

at adapting things for herself,” 

said Mrs Exton. 

When Lilian was in year 4, she 

started using a wheelchair as the 

arthritic-like pain in her bones 

became too uncomfortable. Now 

she uses a power wheelchair, 

and in 2013 with help from The 

Star, almost $30,000 was raised 

for Lilian’s family so they could 

purchase a van to transport 

the chair. With this came great 

freedom, said Mrs Exton. 

Lilian has a busy social life, 

goes to parties and has a closeknit 

group of friends. “Where she 

goes, her chair can go,” said Mrs 

Exton. 

She has just completed year 13 

at Avonside Girls’ High School 

and has plans to work with 

children with disabilities. 

On Tuesday night at the 

school’s prize-giving, Lilian was 

awarded three prizes, one being 

the The Joan Conder Memorial 

Cup, which is given to a student 

who epitomises the school’s 

values. 

In the future, Lilian hopes to 

compete at boccia tournaments 

in Australia, as well as travel to 

other countries. 

Throughout her life, Lilian has 

experienced people being unkind 

because of her disability. “I get 

a lot of stares, people pointing, 

laughing or whispering. People 

come up and ask personal 

questions,” she said. 

With help from her friends 

and family, Lilian has learned 

to brush off other people’s 

behaviour. “No one is normal, 

some just stick out more than 

others,” she said.

SOUTHERN VIEW 

SKILLS: Well-known Southshore artist Kim Lowe has won a top national art award. She has received the prestigious 2019 

Olivia Spencer Bower Award, a scholarship established to support artists. Lowe said it was huge and a great honour to be 

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 

Christchurch. While it had not yet been confirmed, the Olivia Spencer Bower Foundation is hoping a studio space will be 

available at the Christchurch Arts Centre for when the residency begins in January. 

Isolation issues 

discussions 

planned 

ANOTHER STEP has been taken 

to help bring a disaster psychologist 

in to Dallington to investigate postearthquake 

issues. 

The Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board held a seminar on 

Monday to discuss what needs to 

be done to bring the plan into fruition. 

It was decided the board’s 

community development adviser 

Natalie Dally will talk to volunteers 

and leaders in Dallington as well 

as areas including Southshore and 

Avondale to gauge key social isolation 

issues. 

It is after the Dallington Community 

Trust asked for funding 

from the board to have a psychologist 

look at issues in the area and 

develop a wellness programme. 

The programme developed for 

Dallington could set a precedent 

for other isolated areas. 

Pegasus Post reported last 

month Australian disaster recovery 

expert and psychologist Dr Rob 

Gordon could be brought in to 

investigate. 

Trust chairwoman and board 

member Linda Stewart said a 

decision has not yet been made but 

it did “float some strategies” at the 

seminar. 

Experience Ara provides high school 

students a taste of tertiary 

Advertorial 

For high school students 

choosing a future career 

can be a daunting prospect. To 

give students a chance to try 

before they buy, Ara Institute of 

Canterbury has expanded their 

programme of taster sessions 

to cater for juniors picking their 

NCEA subjects, as well as seniors 

figuring out their next steps. 

Imagine trying out being a web 

developer for a day, a performing 

arts student at NASDA, or an 

engineer. Experience Ara is aiding students to 

close the gap between reading about something 

and actually giving it a go. 

The Experience Ara programme has proven 

hugely successful in providing high school 

students with a taste of tertiary study, and a 

hands-on way to explore their interests. In 

2018, 2344 students have registered to 269 

events offered in a range of tertiary subjects 

including Science, Creative Industries, Trades 

and Business. Out of all the young people who 

registered for Experience Ara 2018, 911 have 

applied to study with Ara in 2019. 

Due to high demand, the new programme 

for 2019 has even more occurrences and a 

broader variety of events. For 2019, Ara has 

proposed 242 events, with exciting new additions 

such as Introduction to Medical Imaging, 

Diving into Data Computing Taster and Builder 

for a Day. 

Emma West, Ara Engagement Manager said, 

“By providing a range of experiential opportunities, 

in subject areas that align with employment 

opportunities, we are playing a part in 

helping young people to make big decisions.” 

A year 13 from Catholic Cathedral College 

who attended the Re: Structure Portfolio 

Workshop for students interested in architecture

Exhibition of three artists 

THREE ARTISTS from the 

Sumner and Redcliffs area 

will showcase their work next 

week in a studio not normally 

accessible by the public. 

Sumner’s Jo Ogier would 

exhibit her own work alongside 

the work of Sheila Brown and Jo 

Loughnan at her own Scarborough 

studio on November 24. 

All three artists draw their 

inspiration from the people and 

environment around them. 

Ogier had received a number 

of scholarships and awards both 

in New Zealand and Australia 

since starting her full-time career 

as an artist in 2000. 

Her watercolours and printed 

works often focused on the 

endemic species of flora and 

Jo Loughnan 

Sheila Brown 

fauna of Banks Peninsula and 

elsewhere. 

Loughnan split her time 

between her after-school art programme, 

running adult drawing 

classes and producing her own 

work for exhibitions. 

Using a mix of inks, pastels, 

charcoal and paints, Loughnan 

preferred to work on portraits 

and figures. 

Another award-winning 

artist, Brown, grew up on the 

East Coast of the United States, 

spending weekends in the 

mountains of New Hampshire. 

“This is where my love of 

nature began and my dream of 

being an artist,” she said. 

Brown moved to New Zealand 

in 1994 and later became a fulltime 

artist in 2005. 

The artist focussed on her love 

of birds as inspiration, saying 

acrylics best suited her “crossover 

style” of expressionism and 

abstract.

CAR THIEVES who took a car 

from Aidanfield on a joyride on 

Tuesday morning found that 

dumping it in Lyttelton Harbour 

was harder than they thought. 

The stolen car was reported 

to police at 5.45am after it was 

found dangling precariously over 

the water’s edge in the Naval 

Point parking area, near the 

Godley Quay, Cyrus Williams 

Quay intersection in Lyttelton. 

Lyttelton Police supervisor 

Sergeant Franco Lovrich said he 

suspected the car would have 

been taken by youths, however, 

police had no suspects as yet. 

“It’s been taken for a bit of joyride 

and it’s done a few wheelies

Sergeant Lovrich said it appeared 

the car had been left in 

gear with the “intention of driving 

it off the edge.” 

However, that plan did not 

work out, Sergeant Lovrich said, 

with the car prevented from entering 

the water by the rocks and 

the angle of the descent. 

The vehicle had since been 

removed. As the owner was 

overseas, family members 

arranged to have it towed.

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 

Stories Project. 

Lyttelton stories app goes live 


MORE THAN a dozen stories 

from Lyttelton people about their 

suburb are available at the touch 

of a button. 

The Our Stories Project phone 

app was launched on Thursday 

and will share stories about 

Lyttelton when users are near 

places associated with the tale. 

Creator and Lyttelton resident 

Kris Herbert said the free app 

may be launched this week on 

Apple and Android devices, with 

the port stories available as a 

one-off purchase. 

Audio recordings of stories 

from 20 current and former 

Lyttelton residents have been 

collated in the app. 

Users will be able to listen to 

the recordings at any time, but 

Ms Herbert said the best way 

to use it was while exploring 

Lyttelton. 

The app could be set to alert 

the user or auto-play a story 

when they are near the place 

associated with the story. 

“It’s a beautiful way to 

understand a place,” Ms Herbert 

said.

the interviews. 

She said the pupils were given 

set questions but were “welcome 

to ask any other questions that 

came to mind.” 

The interviews had been a 

good way to build connections 

in the port, Ms Herbert said. 

Her favourite example was when 

a group of “hoodie-wearing” 

teens interviewed a 98-year-old 

woman. 

“Watching these teenage boys 

. . . hearing stories of World War

I just saw their jaws drop. They 

were understanding that these 

historical events were real.” 

Some of the stories cropped up 

multiple times like the infamous

Kirkwood Opportunities 

‘Schooling for the Whole Child’ 

At Kirkwood we are very proud of our children and their achievements. Our pupils have many opportunities to participate 

in a wide range of education activities including Technology; ICT; Music; Drama; Education Outside The Classroom; 

Leadership roles; Camps; Academic challenges; and Sports. Our pupils develop a wide range of skills which helps them 

develop educationally, socially, emotionally and physically during their time with us. Just a few of the opportunities our 

pupils have experienced this year are as follows: 

Education Outside the 

Classroom 

We visit many different places within our community 

such as Canterbury Museum, Riccarton House 

and the Art Gallery. We also offer class camps for 

our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils. This year our Year 

7’s camped at Purau Bay where they experienced 

canoeing, abseiling and camping skills, along 

with getting to know their class and developing 

friendships. 

Our Year 8 pupils are currently enjoying their 

Wellington camp. These camps provide 

great opportunities for learning and personal 

development. 

China Trip 

Part way through the July school holidays, Ethan, Brooke, Aaliya, Casper, 

Mackenzie, Lauren, Ryan, Alexander, Katie and Grace and two teachers 

had the opportunity to explore China. This was the first Panda camp we 

have attended. 

The following article was written by Katie and Alex: 

‘The Temple of Heaven, the Pearl Markets, the Summer Palace and 

seeing the general lifestyle of the Chinese people. They were able to see 

some beautiful buildings with long, rich histories of emperors and different 

dynasties. Haggling is common at the Pearl Markets and was a very 

different experience for us, which encouraged us to quickly learn about 

converting yuan into New Zealand dollars to get a good price. We also 

really enjoyed the boat ride across the Emperor’s lake; there have been 

many great memories made as a group. 

Our days at the Chinese school were busy - making new friends, teaching 

rakau and the cup song, learning Chinese calligraphy and songs as well as 

experiencing a huge school cafeteria, which was a very different experience! 

It was a great opportunity to see how school works in a different country 

and try new things. We all enjoyed teaching physical education games such 

as elastics and a football/badminton game that we pretty much invented. 

Duck, duck, goose was also a favourite amongst the pupils in China! 

We were fortunate to continue to travel and see incredible sights such as 

The Great Wall of China, where we were all able to walk a section. Another 

highlight was the Beijing Zoo, it was a great chance to see some rare 

animals but the living conditions were very sad. In addition to these places 

we also visited the 2008 Olympic venues, the Water Cube and the Bird’s 

Nest, as well as the Olympic torch and Olympic Village areas which we 

found to be interesting. Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City also 

hold important places in Chinese history and often we were in awe of how 

immense these places are in addition to hearing about the incredible history 

behind the building of these structures. The National Museum of China was 

also very impressive in both the artwork and size of the building! 

We will all recall some amazing chances to explore a different culture, some 

interesting memories for us as Kirkwood United and the opportunity to 

represent Kirkwood with pride as global youth ambassadors. We would like 

to say a huge thank you to Miss Toaolamai and Mr Gaut for their support 

on the trip. Thank you to our parents for encouraging us to take up such an 

awesome opportunity. We all had an amazing time and hope to see more 

Kirkwood students exploring the world in years to come! 

Sports 

We participate in a large variety of sports including: Netball, Football, Cross 

Country, Skiing, Swimming, Rugby, Basketball, Waterpolo, Touch Rugby, Korf 

Ball, Table Tennis, Badminton, Athletics and Gymnastics. We also compete in 

the Canterbury Association of Intermediate and Middle Schooling competitions. 

Our school is well known for the courtesy, co-operation and sportsmanship 

of our teams and we value this highly. Some of the highlights this year are as 

follows: 

Example from last year: 

Korfball Tournament - We sent two teams to the Canterbury Korfball 

Tournament. Bowls Tournament - we had 12 successfully compete at the 

Canterbury Bowls Tournament. Table Tennis - 4 of our Table Tennis teams 

were placed in the top 3 of their weekly competition. Girls’ Basketball team 

were placed third in their Friday evening competition. 

Many of our pupils have been selected to represent Canterbury and/or have 

been selected for the Nationals in various sports which makes our school proud. 

Technology 

Our on-site technology centre provides our pupils 

with a range of creative learning experiences in 

different areas: Foods, Electronics, Robotics and 

Materials (metal, wood, fabric and plastic). Our 

pupils have created a large variety of work this 

year. We also participate in Robofest, Future in 

Tech programmes, EPro8 and 3D printing. 

Programmes focus on Planning for Practice, Brief 

Development and Outcome Evaluation. 

ICT: We have pods of touch screen laptops, 

ordinary laptops and Chromebooks 

for classroom use to enable pupils 

to develop their skills. Pupils are 

also welcome to bring their own 

technology. More pupils are doing 

this each year. We recommend that 

parents check which devices are 

used at the High School they think 

their children will be attending. 

Blues Awards 

Outstanding achievements, whether they 

are personal or at school, are celebrated 

via our Blues Awards system. Our 

students can achieve a Blues Award in 

various areas such as Cultural, Sports 

and Academic. 

An Outstanding Elite Blues Award may 

be achieved if a student has achieved an 

Academic, Cultural and a Sporting Blue. 

There are quite strict criteria for receiving 

a Blue and these are outlined on our 

website www.kirkwood.school.nz 

School Production 

Every second year we produce a school 

performance for all interested pupils. Our 

next School Production will be in 2019. 

Don’t forget, there are still some places available for Year 7 and Year 8 for 2019.

Old, bold and brassy 


A QUARTER-CENTURY after 

its founding, the 50s Up Brass 

Band is still playing hard in 

the lead up to its anniversary 

celebration. 

The band’s 25th-anniversary 

concert will be held at the 

Woolston Club on November 28, 

featuring brass classics and some 

Christmas songs. 

Band secretary 

Noeleen 

Penter said 

the band had 

maintained 

a constant 

membership 

of about 

50 since it 

started on 

Mel Smith 

October 26, 

1993. 

The band was founded by Age 

Concern Canterbury for retired 

players over 50 to meet and play 

during the week. Starting with 

25 members, that number doubled 

to 50 within its first month. 

“It was a surprise to those who 

started the band . . . that it’s still 

thriving and playing 25 years 

later,” Mrs Penter said. 

Founding and oldest member 

CAMARADERIE: The 50s Up Brass Band will celebrating its 25th year with a concert later this 

month. 

99-year-old Mel Smith said 

“lusty blowing” and the group’s 

camaraderie had maintained his 

good health. 

Mrs Penter agreed with Mr 

Smith’s view, saying the music 

was what kept her going in her 

retirement over the three years 

she had been a member. 

“That’s what we’re all here for, 

the music. 

“They’re a good crew, they’re a 

lot of laughs.” 

The band’s new conductor, Columbian 

born Pablo Ruiz Henao, 

had also been with the group for 

three years. 

“He’s wonderful, he’s lifted the 

band quite a bit,” Mrs Penter said. 

A professional bass trombonist 

with the Christchurch 

Symphony Orchestra, Mr Henao 

took the role on after former 

conductor Les France retired due 

to his health. 

“But [Mr France has] come 

back to the band, now he plays 

the euphonium,” Mrs Penter 

said. 

Mrs Penter said the group was 

still “essentially a brass band,” 

playing the classics, military 

numbers, a “bit of jazz” and

NEED FOR 

SPEED: Leona 

Jones won the 

under-12 age 

group at the 

Australian ice 

speed skating 

champs in 

Melbourne. 

PHOTO: 

LAURA 

JONES 

Big future for speed 

skater from Opawa club 

• By Jacob Page 

WHEN OPAWA’S Canterbury 

Alpine Ice Speed Skating Club 

member Leona Jones first got 

on the ice, she spent most of her 

time falling down – but now 

she’s winning trophies. 

Her time spent training at 

the club has paid off, earning 

her an under-12 title at the 

Australian ice speed skating 

championships in Melbourne. 

Leona, 11, prefers the shorter 

distance races, such as the 

111m, 222m, and 333m, thanks 

to her fast starts. 

Her mum Laura took Leona 

ice skating for the first time 

when she was four, expecting it 

to be a one-time experience. 

“She spent most of the first 

time falling over and getting her 

clothes absolutely soaked and I 

thought she’d come off the ice 

and hate it, but afterwards she 

told me she absolutely loved it.” 

Leona trains twice a 

week on the ice, where she 

works on making her legs 

stronger and her technique 

sharper. 

She also does some training at 

Hagley Park away from the ice. 

She said when she had her 

first race as a six-year-old, she 

knew the sport was for her after 

she fell over but still won. 

Leona said she wants to 

go as far as her talent can take 

her. 

“I’d like to compete at 

the junior world championships 

when I am old enough (15) 

and then the Winter Olympics 

is a definite dream of mine.” 

Consent granted for hot pools 

•From page 1 

Mr Hughes said it was hard to 

say if New Brighton’s commercial 

area was struggling because the 

whole country’s retail sector is 

suffering due to increases in the 

cost of living, petrol and food 

prices. 

Uncertainty still lies over 

whether the hot pools will have 

a flow-on effect for reviving the 

commercial centre of the suburb. 

Eastern Vision spokesman 

Evan Smith said it is a step in 

the right direction but he would 

like to see more priority given to 

the regeneration of the business 

district. 

It has been previously reported 

businesses were lacking confidence 

that the city council was 

going to follow through on its 

approved New Brighton Centre 

Master Plan. 

Three years ago the city council 

approved the plan which was to 

extend Oram Ave through to the 

main thoroughfare of Hawke St. 

This was to create a new northsouth 

shopping and entertainment 

precinct. 

“It is all very well bringing this 

into the area but unless the issues 

in the business district are dealt 

with as proposing the master plan 

then the regeneration of New 

Brighton is still going 

to remain stalled,” Mr Smith said. 

He said the business area in

Brighton hot pools will look like when completed. Resource

facility next month. 

New Brighton has not reached its 

potential because the plan has not 

yet been implemented. 

Northshore Residents’ Association 

chairwoman Jayne Mark said 

the hot pools are a good thing 

that will improve and bring more 

people the area and make it more 

attractive. 

She said currently the business 

area in general looks “bad and 

derelict” and it was understandable 

why people didn’t want to go 

to the area.

palsy, won four gold medals 

at the national championships in 

March. He won the 200m, 400m, 

800m and long jump. 

The 18-year-old said he was 

hugely honoured by the feat. 

“It’s extremely humbling to win 

the award once, let alone three 

times.” 

He said winning a mainstream 

award as a disabled athlete was a 

sign of the times. 

“You’re seeing para-sports 

becoming more integrated with 

regular events and that’s really 

exciting to see.” 

William started running 

after watching the London 

Paralympics in 2012. “I started 

running longer distances and 

cross-country events for my club, 

Port Hills, but I was encouraged 

to try sprint distances because I 

was still young in 2014.” 

He and coach George Edwards 

have been a team since then. 

“George and I get on really well 

and he’s great at coaching me to 

coach myself and explaining why 

we do certain things.” 

William has the world championships 

in the latter part of next 

year to focus on, but said winning 

Paralympic gold in 2020 was 

his ultimate focus. 

“Having a big break between 

major events has allowed me to 

focus on my form and actually 

see the progression as it happens,” 

he said. 

“It can be hard to try to peak 

three times a year so with world 

champs still a year away, it’s been

a big plus for me to just concentrate 

on training. 

“I think the long jump is where 

I have my best chance and while 

I’m not bad at the 400m, it’s not 

the most pleasant event for me,” 

he said. “It hurts.” 

William wants to study 

engineering part-time at 

Canterbury University while 

continuing to focus on athletics. 


CASHMERE HIGH School 

appears to have a talented crop 

of year 9 cricketers coming 

through their ranks. 

The team beat their St 

Thomas counterparts by 

172 runs in their round one 

match of the New Zealand 

Community Trust knockout 

competition at St Thomas. 

Cashmere made 215 from 

their 30 overs after batting first 

and dismissed St Thomas for 

just 43 in reply. 

Dallas Crowe top scored with 

89, while Toby Hull took four 

wickets. The team will now 

travel to play Christ’s College in 

the second round at a date yet to 

be confirmed. 

Teacher Andrew Coburn 

said a new batch of the 

players have come through 

the Sydenham Cricket Club 

junior ranks and had embraced

Talented crop of cricketers 

show their class 

Cashmere’s school-wide cricket 

programme. 

“The programme has been 

going for the last two seasons 

and this group of year 9s have 

really taken it too it, both in 

term one and now in term four.” 

“They’ve been offered coaching 

sessions during lunch times 

and they all seem really keen.” 

Coburn said the Sydenham 

Cricket Club have been supportive 

offering them access to 

coaching resources. 

Coburn said the team is 

excited at the prospect of taking 

on one of Canterbury’s powerhouse 

cricket school’s on their 

own pitch. 

‘We’ve got nothing to lose 

and I think it’s a great 

opportunity for us to continue 

to improve.” 

If Cashmere can beat Christ’s, 

they will progress to round 

three which will be played early 

in term one.

Timely advice from 

McGirr Motors 

As the warmer weather and Christmas 

holidays approach, McGirr Motors owner 

Gary Lake suggests now is a great time 

to get your air-conditioning and cooling 

system checked. 

Gary also recommends a Vehicle Holiday 

Check for those planning a long road trip 

over the Christmas break. This will lessen 

the risk of a breakdown and the team will 

discuss any work, if required, prior to it 

being carried out. They also offer a full 

service.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking t operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
