Chance
to dance
with the
stars of
ballet
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
NOT EVERY aspiring ballet dancer
can say they have been selected to
perform with the Royal New Zealand
Ballet.
But Northcote’s Anna Lee School
of Dance student Anna McKey was
one of the lucky ones chosen to dance
in the company’s rendition of The
Nutcracker that opened last week.
The 13-year-old, who lives in
Parklands was chosen alongside 60
children to feature in the show at the
Isaac Theatre Royal last weekend.
The children will play the roles
of mice, party girls, bonbons and
fairies. Anna was picked to play
the role of one of the Mouse King’s
minions and dance in one of the
major scenes where the Mouse King
fights The Nutcracker.
She said she was very excited to
get on stage and see the Royal New
Zealand Ballet dancers perform
beside her.
“This is definitely really exciting
because I have never been able to do
a performance with the Royal New
Zealand Ballet,” she said.
Anna said her dream would be to
have a career in dance and is looking
at auditioning for the New Zealand
School of Dance in the future.

Residents
voice their
concerns
over
removal of
car parks
• By Ashleigh Monk
PAPANUI RESIDENTS and
business owners are frustrated
with the amount of parking
spaces being removed from the
area.
On-street car parking is set
to be removed from parts of
Main North and Langdons Rds,
and locals are voicing their concerns.
Sails St resident Richard Lucas
said the removal of car parking in
the area had forced workers and
shoppers to park on small side
streets in the area.
“There is already a 120min
parking restriction outside our
home and this is abused almost
on a daily basis and if the parking
is removed on Langdons Rd, as
proposed, this will only get worse,”
he said.
“Our street is virtually taken up
by Papanui High school pupils and
people who work in the area five
days a week.”
He said he would join Papanui-
Innes Community Board member
John Stringer in his battle against
the Langdons Rd proposal.

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
from the reporter’s desk
ON PAGE 5 this week you’ll see an article about kids making
an effort to beautify the north-west.
This one really warmed my heart as a lover of all things clean
and green, because it’s so important that children have an active
role in the look and feel of the place they live.
Making an effort to be more involved in how our
communities looks and feel is something that improves the area
and instils a sense of respect and belonging in youngsters.
Led by Keep Christchurch Beautiful, this programme helps
schools across the city make their area a place they can be
proud of.
The combined efforts of the pupils, teachers and school caretakers
is something to be admired, and hopefully others will
follow their lead in their own communities.
Keep up the great work, guys.

Bid to improve Wooldridge Rd safety
• By Ashleigh Monk
ONE OF the city’s largest
employers is fighting to make
Wooldridge Rd in Harewood
safer for road-users.
Tait Communications, which
is based on the collector road,
approached the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board in a bid to
have no-stopping restrictions
and a flush median installed to
make the area safer.
There have
been two
reported crashes
along the section
of Wooldridge
Rd in the last five
years and four
within the last
Garry Diack
eight years.
All the
recorded crashes
were located at driveways,
with three directly outside Tait
Communications.
The proposal to install
no-stopping lines and a flush
median on the road to increase
visibility went before the
community board last month
but was voted against by six to
two.
However, the issue is back on
the agenda.
Tait Communications chief
executive Garry Diack said he
was disappointed at last month’s
vote, which went against the city
council staff recommendation.
“The daily safety risks to staff
as drivers, passengers, cyclists
and pedestrians on this stretch
of Wooldridge Rd is consistently
the most-raised health and
safety concern within our entire
business.”
“It would be a tragedy if there
were another incident, or the
death or injury of any road-user
before action is taken.”
He said Tait Communications
generated up to 1000 vehicle
movements each day, and the
loss of some on-street parking
would be justified to mitigate
safety concerns.
The city council received six
responses when the issue was
consulted on last month.
Three supported the proposal
and two opposed it. One
response did not indicate
support or opposition.
Those opposing the proposal
did so on the grounds that it
removed parking.
The recent upgrade to Russley
Rd banned the right turn from
BATTLE: Tait
Communications

Rd to improve

Wairakei Rd onto Russley Rd,
which has resulted in more
traffic using Wooldridge Rd.
Community board member
Aaron Campbell voted in favour
of the proposal.
“The board asking for staff to
investigate more options in order
to keep on-street car parking
will cost thousands of dollars,
delay any safety improvement
for quite easily a year or more,
and could result in attempts
to find money from stretched
capital budgets involving road
realignment,” he said. “This is a
waste of ratepayers’ money.”

RADCLIFFE RD WORK
Work has started to install

was damaged in the earthquakes.
It then merged with St Matthew’s
church from St Albans to create
the All Souls church. The new
building will also be home to the

PARKING WOES: On-street
car parking could be removed
from part of Langdons Rd if
the Papanui-Innes Community
Board approves a new
proposal.
Concern over
removal of
car parks
•From page 1
Mr Stringer had been vocal
about his disapproval of the
Langdons Rd proposal and Main
North Rd bus priority project.
He said the loss of on-street car
parking would discourage local
shoppers.
“One wonders where the mall
expects the additional shoppers
for the new shops, will now
park? In the
car parks of
the businesses
opposite, like
Briscoes?” he
said.
John Stringer
“I guess
Papanui oldies
and mums
with kids can all use Lime scooters.”
He said the car parking issue
would also affect business owners
and employees.
“I’ve spoken to local business
people who’ve confirmed to me
they have relocated because of
these proposals. There are half
a dozen for lease signs up in Papanui
Village right now,” he said.
“Cartridge World, for example,
has left, and moved out of the bus
lanes zone, and has taken a new
shop past where the bus lanes
end, so its customers have somewhere
to park.”
The owners of Cartridge
World could not be reached for
comment.

Since 1975, Star Media’s

event’s humble beginnings.
However, it still remains first and
foremost a fun run.
Originally, the City2Surf
would start in Cathedral Square
and end at New Brighton beach.
Later, the finish line was
changed to QE II stadium.
In 2011, following the
earthquake, the event had to be
cancelled as parts of the eastern
route were broken.
Now the start line for the 14km
event is at Centennial Park and
the Sport Canterbury 6km event
begins at Hansen Park, Opawa.
Both events finish at the
Ferrymead playing fields with
FREE entry given to participants
into Ferrymead Historic Park.
Over the years, City2Surf
has helped to burn more than
184,730,000 calories, says event
manager Jon Holmes.
“The amount of kilometres run
during this event is enough to
run around the world 120 times,”
he said.

WINNER: The junior school building at Cathedral Grammar was chosen as the
winner of the 2018 Ted McCoy Award for Education.
Cathedral Grammar claims
top architecture award
Scott
Thelning
CATHEDRAL Grammar
School has been awarded a
top architecture award.
The junior school building
was chosen as the winner
of the 2018 Ted McCoy
Award for Education, one
of New Zealand’s four toptier
architecture awards.
This specific
accolade
acknowledges
high-quality
learning
spaces.
The building
was
designed
by Andrew
Barrie Lab and Tezuka
Architects.
“The goal was that the
building would be characterised
by both the warmth
of the timber and by the
dynamic and rhythmic
form of the structure,” said
Mr Lab.
The awards’ jury said the
junior school was “a lovely,
humane learning environment
that captures the joy
of childhood.”
“The beautifully detailed
and executed glass and
timber pavilions have been
positioned on the site to
open the school up to the
street,” they said.
“Normally schools are
quite internally focused but
this one gives back. There
are amazing playful and
delightful moments, which
are totally appropriate
for a primary school; the
rooftop playground is connected
to an undulating
landscape by a slide and
there are water spouts and
troughs. Everything has an
element of fun about it.”
Principal Scott Thelning
said he was “delighted” by
the award.
“The first years of school
are crucial for laying the
foundations for a lifelong
love of learning. We are
extremely proud of our
junior school building,
which provides a happy,
secure and caring atmosphere
allowing each child’s
strengths to develop to
their fullest,” he said.
“State-of-the-art facilities
help give our students the
opportunity, encouragement
and skills to achieve
their personal best in all
aspects of the school curriculum,
and to contribute
towards their development
as confident, happy
members of our school
community”.

are all former students of the
school.
It is the first time the quartet
can recall working in a production
together.
Another old boy, David
Bosworth, is also contracted for
construction.
All regularly work at The Court
Theatre but their paths didn’t
often cross at school.
Currently Vancouver-based
Kyle has the lead role of Jesus in
the musical, and has worked with
Douglas in a number of productions
since 2007.
He credits David Chambers,
director of drama at Christ’s College
for 21 years, as the impetus
for his acting career.
“The entire reason that I have
a career in theatre today is the
influence David had on me in my
last few years at college,” he said.
“Without his help and inspiration
I wouldn’t be an actor today.
He had the foresight to cast me in
SUPERSTARS: (From left) – Nic Kyle (Jesus), Jack Marshall
(Bartholomew), Cam Douglas (Simon) and Tim Sellars
(drummer) are in the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Les Misérables at college in 2004,
many years before I saw my own
potential.”
At Christ’s College from 1995-
99, Douglas predated his younger
colleagues, having missed Kyle
by a year. Jesus Christ Superstar
would be his 29th show at The
Court.
“I played Oliver when I was
at Medbury School and learnt
drama from Yvette Bromley
which got me hooked. Then I had
a break from acting and concentrated
on sport until I got a part
in a musical called Children of
Eden at College in my final year.
David Chambers inspired me to
continue pursuing performing
arts by auditioning for NASDA.
Legend.”
Drummer Sellars began working
at The Court Theatre in 2010
in Cabaret.
“Coming out from study, I
never thought I’d end up playing
this many theatre shows in my
career. I love the variety each
show brings.”
Jesus Christ Superstar runs at
The Court Theatre until January
19, 2019.

She has been dancing since
the age of five and attends
the Anna Lee School of
Dance.
Depending on when she
is training for her Royal
Academy of Dance syllabus
exams, Anna can often
spend up to 12 hours a week
training.
“I just love to dance
really, I get to do it with all
my friends so it is lots of
fun having all these new
experiences and challenges,”
she said.
Anna was selected in the
top 10 to compete in the
junior finals of the South
Island Ballet Award in July.
While ballet can be difficult,
Anna said the key is to keep
trying and don’t give up.
“There is always
something new you can
improve on and work on and
learn so just keep going,” she
said.
All children performing in
the shows were auditioned
and split into two casts of 30
for the shows.

Demand for Selwyn Sounds buses
• By Anan Zaki
A RECORD number of buses
are set to be used for next year’s
Selwyn Sounds following strong
interest from the city’s northern
and western suburbs.
Eleven of the 16 buses
booked for the March event are
from Northland’s Shopping
Centre, Papanui and Westfield
Riccarton.
It is the
same number
of buses as last
year’s record
total of 16. The
event is in its
third year.
But Selwyn

David Parlane
promoter
David Parlane
expects to see even more buses
booked by March.
Mr Parlane said people from
Papanui and Riccarton have
been drawn to the event because
of its “unique” variety of performers
and food stalls.
He said the older demographic
from the northern suburbs may
have played a part in the strong
interest for Selwyn Sounds, but
couldn’t say for certain why the
north is attracting more buses.
He also predicts about 30

of those buses would be out of
Papanui. When you look at it
that’s 600 people from the area,”
Mr Parlane said.

“It’s a bloody good deal
for $20, [you get] picked up
in Papanui, dropped off in
Papanui, you can have a great
day.”
He said the large number
of buses from Papanui and
Riccarton did not necessarily
mean that the tickets were from
residents in those areas.
“But if you look at where the
buses are coming from, the
northern area is certainly a
big part of what makes Selwyn
Sounds very special,” Mr Parlane
said.
Buses are also available from
the Bus Interchange, Hub
Hornby and the Rolleston
Community Centre.
Selwyn Sounds will be
headlined by the Little River
Band. There will also be
performances by Leo Sayer,
Jon Stevens, Ross Wilson,
Peter Urlich, Midge Marsden,
Automatic 80 and The Golden

Getting ready for
the festive season
Christmas means a lot of things to a lot of
people. For some it is a religious celebration,
for others a chance to gather with family and
celebrate. Whatever Christmas means to you,
there are many ways to celebrate – from the full
grandeur of baked ham and turkey with all the
trimmings or a picnic on the beach with the ones
you love.
For some, Christmas can be a stressful time
of year, but there are ways to minimise this and
spread the workload, so everyone can enjoy the
day.
Here are some ideas to help you get through the
festive season.
Create order in your home
Start preparations early, if you are hosting
everyone at your house, don’t leave it all to the
last minute. Start the spring clean up now so
when it comes to the days leading into the holiday
season you are not rushing around – making you
stressed and exhausted.
Tackling one room at a time is a good way
to purge and get organised. Sorting through
wardrobes and cupboards and getting rid of
anything you haven’t used in the past year. Having
all the rooms organised means there will also be
space for those coming to stay during this busy
time.
Once you’ve dusted and vacuumed shut the
doors and just air out the room a few days before
your guests arrive. A nice towel placed at the end
of the bed and a small floral arrangement from the
garden can also add a nice welcoming touch.
Share the food load
We have between 25 to 30 people for Christmas
most years, but our family has got smart. The host
divvies up the food between each family, spreading
the cost and the work.
About four weeks before the big day, we send
out a food allocation of what each person brings.
Normally the parents get the turkey and ham
with the offspring in charge of vegetables and
puddings. This is a great way to
spread the load and the cost and allows for those
who aren’t cooks to also contribute – we just put
them in charge of nibbles, drinks or chocolates for
on the table etc.
Just make sure you tell each person how much
is needed, for example you don’t want someone
turning up with just one punnet of strawberries.
The rule is that whatever you bring you must
have prepared, so the new potatoes arrive scraped
in a pot, the vegetables and the salads and puddings
are all made.
A little bit of organisation ahead of time means
everyone gets to enjoy the day and join in the fun.

Picking the perfect pressie
at the perfect price
Christmas present shopping can be a headache for giftgivers
but here are a few simple steps to assist you when
selecting the perfect gift this Christmas season.
Set a budget
The trap many people fall into is
overspending. Work out how much you
want to spend total for all your presents, then
use this amount to allocate the amount you
are going to spend on each person. If your
allocation totals more than your budget,
then scrape a little bit of money off each
person’s amount.
The common pitfall at Christmas, or in fact
any other time you’re shopping, is when you
see something that is just a few dollars more.
Those few dollars can really add up, so try
and stick to the amount you have budgeted
for each person as closely as possible.
If you spend less on a person yet still get
them the perfect gift, then see it as a win.

If things are tight
If you are not able to afford to buy
presents for all your family members, then
be honest with them. Perhaps now is the
time to stop buying for your brothers and
sisters, nephews and nieces. A secret Santa
present, where each person is allocated
someone to buy for with a set dollar limit, is
a great idea – you still get the fun of giving
and receiving but not the huge expense.
Otherwise another way to cut costs
is to give something you have made
yourself. This could be baking, chutneys or
something you have crafted or sewn. If you
have a special talent for making something
(that doesn’t cost the earth) then now is the
time to show it.

Ask for help
If you’re unsure of what to get someone a
little hint from the person is okay. Children
especially love writing lists of what they
would like, so save those catalogues coming
through the letterbox, look at newspaper
advertisements or go online and spend
some time with them to find out what their
perfect present is.
It’s okay also to say that the gift they have
chosen is too expensive but then together
search through and find an alternative. It
can still be a surprise for them on the day,
if you get them to write down two or three
of their favourite things and then tell them
you will pick one from their list.
Shop assistants can also offer great ideas
>> Carseats, buggies and strollers
>> Cots, portacots and linen
>> Highchairs and feeding products
>> Breastfeeding products
>> Gifts, toys and so much more
>> Hires - short or long term
if you give them the gender and age of
the people you are shopping for. They
know what stock they have in store
and can save you time and struggle by
culling out the things that may not be
appropriate.
Before you head out make sure you are
rested up, fed and hydrated and stress
free – if you aren’t, chances are you will
blow your budget just to get the job
done quickly. Shopping hours are often
extended at this time of year, so shop
smart and go either early in the morning
or late at night when shops should be
less busy.

the 25th annual Future Problem
Solving national finals in
Auckland this month.
Students from Rangi Ruru,
Burnside High and Cashmere
High will head to Massachusetts
next year for the FPS
international finals.
Most of the contingent flew to
Auckland for the national final
but the year 13 students elected
to compete from Christchurch
so they would have more time to
study for exams.
The combined year 12 team,
which included students from
Rangi Ruru, St Margaret’s
College and Burnside High, won
the presentation of action plan
section and finished second in
the senior global issues problemsolving
section.
The year 13 team from Rangi
Ruru won the senior global issues
problem-solving section.
In the final, teams had a mindbending
challenge – how to fix
cloud storage problems in the
year 2038.
Rangi Ruru digital technology
teacher Dave Hullen said the
challenge was a daunting task but
the girls took it head on.
“This was the culmination of
a year of hard work, research,
practice and creative thinking,”
he said. “For most of the
younger girls, this was their
first time at nationals and they
did themselves and Rangi
Ruru proud. Their enthusiasm,
determination, intelligence and
creativity will assure them of

future success in FPS.”
The Rangi Ruru teams earned
their place at nationals in term
three with submissions on
solving future problems with
philanthrocapitalism – a type of
philanthropy that mirrors the
way business is done in the notfor-profit
area.
Earlier in the year, the teams
practiced their problem-solving
skills by studying problems
related to infectious diseases and
toxic waste.
The teams knew the national
finals topic was cloud storage
so they researched binary,
encryption, compression,
quantum computing and
projected current trends.
International medals
for students
THREE RANGI Ruru Girls’
School students have been
awarded prestigious international
medals for academic excellence.
International Competitions
and Assessments for Schools
awards were presented to Arwen
van Pallandt, year 12, for writing,
Kate Gourley, year 9, for digital
technologies, and Anna Wyn-
Harris, year 7, for English.
Rangi Ruru principal Dr
Sandra Hastie said the awards
were an incredible achievement
and she offered warm
congratulations to the three
recipients.
ICAS conducts examinations
annually in Australia and in
more than 20 countries in Asia,
Africa, Europe, the Pacific and
United States. More than one
million student entries are
accepted from more than 6300
schools in Australia and New
Zealand annually.
It caters for students from years
2-12 and assesses students’ skills
in digital technologies, English,
mathematics, science, spelling
and writing.
The ICAS medals will be
presented on Saturday, 2pm, at
the Auckland University Business
School.
In addition to the Auckland
ceremony, Dr Hastie will
present medals to the Rangi
Ruru students at the school next
Tuesday.
WW1 memorabilia
on display at
St Andrew’s
A St Andrew’s College exhibition,
which includes former rector
JB Mawson’s medals (left), has
been set up to mark the 100th
anniversary of the end of World
War 1. The display was prepared

Fire rages, homes at risk
Top-selling author in fight against quarry
• By Anan Zaki
SORAYA NICHOLAS has
recently made a name for herself
fighting a quarry in Yaldhurst.
But away from opposing the
Road Metals quarry extension
near her home, Nicholas – who
publishes under the name Soraya
Lane – is a top-selling author
writing historical women’s
fiction.
The former Merivale woman
started writing books 15 years
ago, with little results. But that
changed after she published her
first novel, Voyage of the Heart,
in 2013.
Fast-forward to today and
Nicholas is currently in the
process of pitching her novels
to United States television
networks.
“It’s very surreal. When you’re
writing a novel . . . it’s a movie
in my head and to think that
someone might actually take that
story, stamp their own creativity
on it and turn it into something
visual is pretty exciting,”
Nicholas said.
She published Voyage of the
Heart independently.
“That novel did really well
and sold about 20,000 copies on
my own and then I was offered
a publishing deal by Amazon
Publishing through their Lake
Union imprint and the rest is
history,” Nicholas said.
Nicholas’ second novel, Wives
of War, debuted at No 2 on
Amazon Kindle in the United
Kingdom and United States in
July last year.
She was the first Kiwi to reach
No 2 in the list.
“I couldn’t quite crack
No 1 [overall]. But I took out

Metals quarry
extension in
Yaldhurst.
the No 1 spot in historical
fiction, women’s fiction and also
romance,” Nicholas said.
Wives of War sold more than
100,000 copies in the United
Kingdom and United States.
She has focused on romance
novels due to market demands.
“When I first started writing
romance it was purely because
from a business point of view
romance is one of the biggest
genres in the world,” Nicholas
said.
Nicholas said she has chosen
to stay out of the public limelight
in New Zealand until this year,
when she decided to fight the
proposed Road Metals quarry
extension in Yaldhurst.
Nicholas initially studied to be
a lawyer, but never practised due
to her love for writing.
The knowledge in law was one
of the reasons she has vocally
campaigned against the Road
Metals quarry extension.
“I’ve been wanting to do work
for charities or unpaid work
and then this [quarry extension]
came up. With quarrying so
close to homes it’s nice to know
I’m helping people who need it.”

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

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

Cave Rock

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

The changes are designed to try

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

New World Fe ry Rd butcher
Jeremy Garth and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently
came second a the World
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern

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

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

The preparation for this year’s

intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two
months for lengthy w ekend
practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes t own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the

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

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils
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

Elite Meats owner Corey

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the

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

Board chairman Mike Mora
told Western News the submi sion
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s

“You can just about guarant e
it . . because we [the community
board] don’t believe qua ries

areas,” he said.
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the
board’ submi sion.
“I’d like to think so because the
city council has had their eyes

Mr Mora said the community
