Chance<br />

to dance<br />

with the<br />

stars of<br />

ballet<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

NOT EVERY aspiring ballet dancer<br />

can say they have been selected to<br />

perform with the Royal New Zealand<br />

Ballet.<br />

But Northcote’s Anna Lee School<br />

of Dance student Anna McKey was<br />

one of the lucky ones chosen to dance<br />

in the company’s rendition of The<br />

Nutcracker that opened last week.<br />

The 13-year-old, who lives in<br />

Parklands was chosen alongside 60<br />

children to feature in the show at the<br />

Isaac Theatre Royal last weekend.<br />

The children will play the roles<br />

of mice, party girls, bonbons and<br />

fairies. Anna was picked to play<br />

the role of one of the Mouse King’s<br />

minions and dance in one of the<br />

major scenes where the Mouse King<br />

fights The Nutcracker.<br />

She said she was very excited to<br />

get on stage and see the Royal New<br />

Zealand Ballet dancers perform<br />

beside her.<br />

“This is definitely really exciting<br />

because I have never been able to do<br />

a performance with the Royal New<br />

Zealand Ballet,” she said.<br />

Anna said her dream would be to<br />

have a career in dance and is looking<br />

at auditioning for the New Zealand<br />

School of Dance in the future.<br />

Residents<br />

voice their<br />

concerns<br />

over<br />

removal of<br />

car parks<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

PAPANUI RESIDENTS and<br />

business owners are frustrated<br />

with the amount of parking<br />

spaces being removed from the<br />

area.<br />

On-street car parking is set<br />

to be removed from parts of<br />

Main North and Langdons Rds,<br />

and locals are voicing their concerns.<br />

Sails St resident Richard Lucas<br />

said the removal of car parking in<br />

the area had forced workers and<br />

shoppers to park on small side<br />

streets in the area.<br />

“There is already a 120min<br />

parking restriction outside our<br />

home and this is abused almost<br />

on a daily basis and if the parking<br />

is removed on Langdons Rd, as<br />

proposed, this will only get worse,”<br />

he said.<br />

“Our street is virtually taken up<br />

by Papanui High school pupils and<br />

people who work in the area five<br />

days a week.”<br />

He said he would join Papanui-<br />

Innes Community Board member<br />

John Stringer in his battle against<br />

the Langdons Rd proposal.<br />

ON PAGE 5 this week you’ll see an article about kids making<br />

an effort to beautify the north-west.<br />

This one really warmed my heart as a lover of all things clean<br />

and green, because it’s so important that children have an active<br />

role in the look and feel of the place they live.<br />

Making an effort to be more involved in how our<br />

communities looks and feel is something that improves the area<br />

and instils a sense of respect and belonging in youngsters.<br />

Led by Keep Christchurch Beautiful, this programme helps<br />

schools across the city make their area a place they can be<br />

proud of.<br />

The combined efforts of the pupils, teachers and school caretakers<br />

is something to be admired, and hopefully others will<br />

follow their lead in their own communities.<br />

Keep up the great work, guys.<br />

Bid to improve Wooldridge Rd safety<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

ONE OF the city’s largest<br />

employers is fighting to make<br />

Wooldridge Rd in Harewood<br />

safer for road-users.<br />

Tait Communications, which<br />

is based on the collector road,<br />

approached the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board in a bid to<br />

have no-stopping restrictions<br />

and a flush median installed to<br />

make the area safer.<br />

There have<br />

been two<br />

reported crashes<br />

along the section<br />

of Wooldridge<br />

Rd in the last five<br />

years and four<br />

within the last<br />

Garry Diack<br />

eight years.<br />

All the<br />

recorded crashes<br />

were located at driveways,<br />

with three directly outside Tait<br />

Communications.<br />

The proposal to install<br />

no-stopping lines and a flush<br />

median on the road to increase<br />

visibility went before the<br />

community board last month<br />

but was voted against by six to<br />

two.<br />

However, the issue is back on<br />

the agenda.<br />

Tait Communications chief<br />

executive Garry Diack said he<br />

was disappointed at last month’s<br />

vote, which went against the city<br />

council staff recommendation.<br />

“The daily safety risks to staff<br />

as drivers, passengers, cyclists<br />

and pedestrians on this stretch<br />

of Wooldridge Rd is consistently<br />

the most-raised health and<br />

safety concern within our entire<br />

business.”<br />

“It would be a tragedy if there<br />

were another incident, or the<br />

death or injury of any road-user<br />

before action is taken.”<br />

He said Tait Communications<br />

generated up to 1000 vehicle<br />

movements each day, and the<br />

loss of some on-street parking<br />

would be justified to mitigate<br />

safety concerns.<br />

The city council received six<br />

responses when the issue was<br />

consulted on last month.<br />

Three supported the proposal<br />

and two opposed it. One<br />

response did not indicate<br />

support or opposition.<br />

Those opposing the proposal<br />

did so on the grounds that it<br />

removed parking.<br />

The recent upgrade to Russley<br />

Rd banned the right turn from<br />

BATTLE: Tait<br />

Communications<br />

is pushing for<br />

no stopping<br />

restrictions on<br />

Wooldridge<br />

Rd to improve<br />

safety.<br />

Wairakei Rd onto Russley Rd,<br />

which has resulted in more<br />

traffic using Wooldridge Rd.<br />

Community board member<br />

Aaron Campbell voted in favour<br />

of the proposal.<br />

“The board asking for staff to<br />

investigate more options in order<br />

to keep on-street car parking<br />

will cost thousands of dollars,<br />

delay any safety improvement<br />

for quite easily a year or more,<br />

and could result in attempts<br />

to find money from stretched<br />

capital budgets involving road<br />

realignment,” he said. “This is a<br />

waste of ratepayers’ money.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

RADCLIFFE RD WORK<br />

Work has started to install<br />

strengthening piles to support<br />

the bridge embankment on<br />

Radcliffe Rd in Belfast. The<br />

work is part of the Christchurch<br />

Northern Corridor project and<br />

will take about three weeks to<br />

complete. The standard work<br />

hours are Monday to Saturday,<br />

7am-7pm. .<br />

ALL SOULS FUN DAY<br />

The newly-completed All Souls<br />

church in Merivale held a fun<br />

day recently to welcome the local<br />

community to the new building.<br />

The new church is located on the<br />

site of the old St Mary’s church in<br />

Church Lane. St Mary’s church<br />

was damaged in the earthquakes.<br />

It then merged with St Matthew’s<br />

church from St Albans to create<br />

the All Souls church. The new<br />

building will also be home to the<br />

Merevale Corner Community<br />

Centre.<br />

ST ALBANS PRE-SCHOOL<br />

St Albans Community Preschool<br />

has moved back to its original<br />

home on Thames St after seven<br />

months away for earthquake<br />

repairs. The pre-school was<br />

based in Champion St while the<br />

work was being completed on its<br />

building. The pre-school’s outside<br />

area has also been developed.<br />

PARKING WOES: On-street<br />

car parking could be removed<br />

from part of Langdons Rd if<br />

the Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board approves a new<br />

proposal.<br />

Concern over<br />

removal of<br />

car parks<br />

•From page 1<br />

Mr Stringer had been vocal<br />

about his disapproval of the<br />

Langdons Rd proposal and Main<br />

North Rd bus priority project.<br />

He said the loss of on-street car<br />

parking would discourage local<br />

shoppers.<br />

“One wonders where the mall<br />

expects the additional shoppers<br />

for the new shops, will now<br />

park? In the<br />

car parks of<br />

the businesses<br />

opposite, like<br />

Briscoes?” he<br />

said.<br />

John Stringer<br />

“I guess<br />

Papanui oldies<br />

and mums<br />

with kids can all use Lime scooters.”<br />

He said the car parking issue<br />

would also affect business owners<br />

and employees.<br />

“I’ve spoken to local business<br />

people who’ve confirmed to me<br />

they have relocated because of<br />

these proposals. There are half<br />

a dozen for lease signs up in Papanui<br />

Village right now,” he said.<br />

“Cartridge World, for example,<br />

has left, and moved out of the bus<br />

lanes zone, and has taken a new<br />

shop past where the bus lanes<br />

end, so its customers have somewhere<br />

to park.”<br />

The owners of Cartridge<br />

World could not be reached for<br />

comment.<br />

On March 24, City2Surf will<br />

celebrate its 45th anniversary.<br />

A lot has changed since the<br />

event’s humble beginnings.<br />

However, it still remains first and<br />

foremost a fun run.<br />

Originally, the City2Surf<br />

would start in Cathedral Square<br />

and end at New Brighton beach.<br />

Later, the finish line was<br />

changed to QE II stadium.<br />

In 2011, following the<br />

earthquake, the event had to be<br />

cancelled as parts of the eastern<br />

route were broken.<br />

Now the start line for the 14km<br />

event is at Centennial Park and<br />

the Sport Canterbury 6km event<br />

begins at Hansen Park, Opawa.<br />

Both events finish at the<br />

Ferrymead playing fields with<br />

FREE entry given to participants<br />

into Ferrymead Historic Park.<br />

Over the years, City2Surf<br />

has helped to burn more than<br />

184,730,000 calories, says event<br />

manager Jon Holmes.<br />

“The amount of kilometres run<br />

during this event is enough to<br />

run around the world 120 times,”<br />

he said.<br />

Entries to participate in the<br />

2019 City2Surf open on Saturday.<br />

The Star Media 14km event<br />

end of the year.<br />

“It’s great to see how positive<br />

our stores have been about this<br />

change,” he said.<br />

“They are 100 per cent behind<br />

this initiative and have played<br />

a huge part in ensuring we are<br />

single-use plastic bag-free ahead<br />

of our target date.<br />

“Millions of single-use<br />

plastic bags are ending up in<br />

our waterways and oceans and<br />

with Les Mills and Sport<br />

Canterbury 6km option means<br />

there is always something<br />

suitable for all runners and<br />

walkers of all fitness types.<br />

Participants can choose to<br />

either take part individually or in<br />

a team.<br />

At this year’s event, there were<br />

more than 170 team entries,<br />

including teams of doctors,<br />

construction works, accountants<br />

and scientists.<br />

Many local charities have<br />

benefitted from the City2Surf<br />

since 1975 and our supporting<br />

charity for 2019 is the Charity<br />

Hospital.<br />

harming our marine<br />

species. There is no doubt<br />

that they are a significant<br />

environmental issue and we’re<br />

glad to be removing them from<br />

our stores.”<br />

Customers are being<br />

encouraged to bring their own<br />

reusable bags. But for customers<br />

who forget, there will also be a<br />

number of alternative options<br />

available to purchase in-store<br />

Since first opening in 2007, the<br />

hospital has provided more than<br />

15,000 patient visits. It provides<br />

free day surgery, medical<br />

treatments, dentistry, oral<br />

surgery and counselling.<br />

The hospital is unique to New<br />

Zealand in that its services are<br />

frequently updated depending on<br />

the need.<br />

The Canterbury Charity<br />

Hospital Trust does not<br />

receive any Government<br />

funding and relies on<br />

fundraising events, such as<br />

the City2Surf, donations and<br />

charitable organisations.<br />

with prices starting from 20c.<br />

“The best option is for our<br />

customers to bring their own<br />

bags when they shop with us<br />

and it’s encouraging to see how<br />

many customers have already<br />

started doing this,” Mr Smith<br />

said.<br />

“I’m sure we will see more<br />

and more customers bringing<br />

their bags as they get used to the<br />

change.”<br />

WINNER: The junior school building at Cathedral Grammar was chosen as the<br />

winner of the <strong>2018</strong> Ted McCoy Award for Education.<br />

Cathedral Grammar claims<br />

top architecture award<br />

Scott<br />

Thelning<br />

CATHEDRAL Grammar<br />

School has been awarded a<br />

top architecture award.<br />

The junior school building<br />

was chosen as the winner<br />

of the <strong>2018</strong> Ted McCoy<br />

Award for Education, one<br />

of New Zealand’s four toptier<br />

architecture awards.<br />

This specific<br />

accolade<br />

acknowledges<br />

high-quality<br />

learning<br />

spaces.<br />

The building<br />

was<br />

designed<br />

by Andrew<br />

Barrie Lab and Tezuka<br />

Architects.<br />

“The goal was that the<br />

building would be characterised<br />

by both the warmth<br />

of the timber and by the<br />

dynamic and rhythmic<br />

form of the structure,” said<br />

Mr Lab.<br />

The awards’ jury said the<br />

junior school was “a lovely,<br />

humane learning environment<br />

that captures the joy<br />

of childhood.”<br />

“The beautifully detailed<br />

and executed glass and<br />

timber pavilions have been<br />

positioned on the site to<br />

open the school up to the<br />

street,” they said.<br />

“Normally schools are<br />

quite internally focused but<br />

this one gives back. There<br />

are amazing playful and<br />

delightful moments, which<br />

are totally appropriate<br />

for a primary school; the<br />

rooftop playground is connected<br />

to an undulating<br />

landscape by a slide and<br />

there are water spouts and<br />

troughs. Everything has an<br />

element of fun about it.”<br />

Principal Scott Thelning<br />

said he was “delighted” by<br />

the award.<br />

“The first years of school<br />

are crucial for laying the<br />

foundations for a lifelong<br />

love of learning. We are<br />

extremely proud of our<br />

junior school building,<br />

which provides a happy,<br />

secure and caring atmosphere<br />

allowing each child’s<br />

strengths to develop to<br />

their fullest,” he said.<br />

“State-of-the-art facilities<br />

help give our students the<br />

opportunity, encouragement<br />

and skills to achieve<br />

their personal best in all<br />

aspects of the school curriculum,<br />

and to contribute<br />

towards their development<br />

as confident, happy<br />

members of our school<br />

community”.<br />

Common bond for actors<br />

WHEN Jesus Christ Superstar<br />

opened at The Court Theatre<br />

on Saturday night, it marked<br />

a particularly special moment<br />

for Christ’s College – the show<br />

involves four of its former<br />

students spanning nearly 30<br />

years at the school.<br />

Three of the actors – Nic Kyle,<br />

Cam Douglas and Jack Marshall,<br />

and band member Tim Sellars,<br />

are all former students of the<br />

school.<br />

It is the first time the quartet<br />

can recall working in a production<br />

together.<br />

Another old boy, David<br />

Bosworth, is also contracted for<br />

construction.<br />

All regularly work at The Court<br />

Theatre but their paths didn’t<br />

often cross at school.<br />

Currently Vancouver-based<br />

Kyle has the lead role of Jesus in<br />

the musical, and has worked with<br />

Douglas in a number of productions<br />

since 2007.<br />

He credits David Chambers,<br />

director of drama at Christ’s College<br />

for 21 years, as the impetus<br />

for his acting career.<br />

“The entire reason that I have<br />

a career in theatre today is the<br />

influence David had on me in my<br />

last few years at college,” he said.<br />

“Without his help and inspiration<br />

I wouldn’t be an actor today.<br />

He had the foresight to cast me in<br />

SUPERSTARS: (From left) – Nic Kyle (Jesus), Jack Marshall<br />

(Bartholomew), Cam Douglas (Simon) and Tim Sellars<br />

(drummer) are in the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar.<br />

Les Misérables at college in 2004,<br />

many years before I saw my own<br />

potential.”<br />

At Christ’s College from 1995-<br />

99, Douglas predated his younger<br />

colleagues, having missed Kyle<br />

by a year. Jesus Christ Superstar<br />

would be his 29th show at The<br />

Court.<br />

“I played Oliver when I was<br />

at Medbury School and learnt<br />

drama from Yvette Bromley<br />

which got me hooked. Then I had<br />

a break from acting and concentrated<br />

on sport until I got a part<br />

in a musical called Children of<br />

Eden at College in my final year.<br />

David Chambers inspired me to<br />

continue pursuing performing<br />

arts by auditioning for NASDA.<br />

Legend.”<br />

Drummer Sellars began working<br />

at The Court Theatre in 2010<br />

in Cabaret.<br />

“Coming out from study, I<br />

never thought I’d end up playing<br />

this many theatre shows in my<br />

career. I love the variety each<br />

show brings.”<br />

Jesus Christ Superstar runs at<br />

The Court Theatre until January<br />

19, 2019.<br />

She has been dancing since<br />

the age of five and attends<br />

the Anna Lee School of<br />

Dance.<br />

Depending on when she<br />

is training for her Royal<br />

Academy of Dance syllabus<br />

exams, Anna can often<br />

spend up to 12 hours a week<br />

training.<br />

“I just love to dance<br />

really, I get to do it with all<br />

my friends so it is lots of<br />

fun having all these new<br />

experiences and challenges,”<br />

she said.<br />

Anna was selected in the<br />

top 10 to compete in the<br />

junior finals of the South<br />

Island Ballet Award in July.<br />

While ballet can be difficult,<br />

Anna said the key is to keep<br />

trying and don’t give up.<br />

“There is always<br />

something new you can<br />

improve on and work on and<br />

learn so just keep going,” she<br />

said.<br />

All children performing in<br />

the shows were auditioned<br />

and split into two casts of 30<br />

for the shows.<br />

Demand for Selwyn Sounds buses<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

A RECORD number of buses<br />

are set to be used for next year’s<br />

Selwyn Sounds following strong<br />

interest from the city’s northern<br />

and western suburbs.<br />

Eleven of the 16 buses<br />

booked for the March event are<br />

from Northland’s Shopping<br />

Centre, Papanui and Westfield<br />

Riccarton.<br />

It is the<br />

same number<br />

of buses as last<br />

year’s record<br />

total of 16. The<br />

event is in its<br />

third year.<br />

But Selwyn<br />

Sounds<br />

David Parlane<br />

promoter<br />

David Parlane<br />

expects to see even more buses<br />

booked by March.<br />

Mr Parlane said people from<br />

Papanui and Riccarton have<br />

been drawn to the event because<br />

of its “unique” variety of performers<br />

and food stalls.<br />

He said the older demographic<br />

from the northern suburbs may<br />

have played a part in the strong<br />

interest for Selwyn Sounds, but<br />

couldn’t say for certain why the<br />

north is attracting more buses.<br />

He also predicts about 30<br />

buses will be booked with most<br />

ROCK ’N’ ROLL: (Clockwise) – The Little River Band, Leo Sayer<br />

and Ross Wilson will all perform at Selwyn Sounds on March 2.<br />

of them coming from Papanui<br />

and Riccarton.<br />

“I would say about 10 or 12<br />

of those buses would be out of<br />

Papanui. When you look at it<br />

that’s 600 people from the area,”<br />

Mr Parlane said.<br />

“It’s a bloody good deal<br />

for $20, [you get] picked up<br />

Papanui, you can have a great<br />

day.”<br />

He said the large number<br />

of buses from Papanui and<br />

Riccarton did not necessarily<br />

mean that the tickets were from<br />

residents in those areas.<br />

“But if you look at where the<br />

buses are coming from, the<br />

northern area is certainly a<br />

big part of what makes Selwyn<br />

Sounds very special,” Mr Parlane<br />

said.<br />

Buses are also available from<br />

Getting ready for<br />

the festive season<br />

Christmas means a lot of things to a lot of<br />

people. For some it is a religious celebration,<br />

for others a chance to gather with family and<br />

celebrate. Whatever Christmas means to you,<br />

there are many ways to celebrate – from the full<br />

grandeur of baked ham and turkey with all the<br />

trimmings or a picnic on the beach with the ones<br />

you love.<br />

For some, Christmas can be a stressful time<br />

of year, but there are ways to minimise this and<br />

spread the workload, so everyone can enjoy the<br />

day.<br />

Here are some ideas to help you get through the<br />

festive season.<br />

Create order in your home<br />

Start preparations early, if you are hosting<br />

everyone at your house, don’t leave it all to the<br />

last minute. Start the spring clean up now so<br />

when it comes to the days leading into the holiday<br />

season you are not rushing around – making you<br />

stressed and exhausted.<br />

Tackling one room at a time is a good way<br />

to purge and get organised. Sorting through<br />

wardrobes and cupboards and getting rid of<br />

anything you haven’t used in the past year. Having<br />

all the rooms organised means there will also be<br />

space for those coming to stay during this busy<br />

time.<br />

Once you’ve dusted and vacuumed shut the<br />

doors and just air out the room a few days before<br />

your guests arrive. A nice towel placed at the end<br />

of the bed and a small floral arrangement from the<br />

garden can also add a nice welcoming touch.<br />

Share the food load<br />

We have between 25 to 30 people for Christmas<br />

most years, but our family has got smart. The host<br />

divvies up the food between each family, spreading<br />

the cost and the work.<br />

About four weeks before the big day, we send<br />

out a food allocation of what each person brings.<br />

Normally the parents get the turkey and ham<br />

with the offspring in charge of vegetables and<br />

puddings. This is a great way to<br />

spread the load and the cost and allows for those<br />

who aren’t cooks to also contribute – we just put<br />

them in charge of nibbles, drinks or chocolates for<br />

on the table etc.<br />

Just make sure you tell each person how much<br />

is needed, for example you don’t want someone<br />

turning up with just one punnet of strawberries.<br />

The rule is that whatever you bring you must<br />

have prepared, so the new potatoes arrive scraped<br />

in a pot, the vegetables and the salads and puddings<br />

are all made.<br />

A little bit of organisation ahead of time means<br />

everyone gets to enjoy the day and join in the fun.<br />

Picking the perfect pressie<br />

at the perfect price<br />

Christmas present shopping can be a headache for giftgivers<br />

but here are a few simple steps to assist you when<br />

selecting the perfect gift this Christmas season.<br />

Set a budget<br />

The trap many people fall into is<br />

overspending. Work out how much you<br />

want to spend total for all your presents, then<br />

use this amount to allocate the amount you<br />

are going to spend on each person. If your<br />

allocation totals more than your budget,<br />

then scrape a little bit of money off each<br />

person’s amount.<br />

The common pitfall at Christmas, or in fact<br />

any other time you’re shopping, is when you<br />

see something that is just a few dollars more.<br />

Those few dollars can really add up, so try<br />

and stick to the amount you have budgeted<br />

for each person as closely as possible.<br />

If you spend less on a person yet still get<br />

them the perfect gift, then see it as a win.<br />

If things are tight<br />

If you are not able to afford to buy<br />

presents for all your family members, then<br />

be honest with them. Perhaps now is the<br />

time to stop buying for your brothers and<br />

sisters, nephews and nieces. A secret Santa<br />

present, where each person is allocated<br />

someone to buy for with a set dollar limit, is<br />

a great idea – you still get the fun of giving<br />

and receiving but not the huge expense.<br />

Otherwise another way to cut costs<br />

is to give something you have made<br />

yourself. This could be baking, chutneys or<br />

something you have crafted or sewn. If you<br />

have a special talent for making something<br />

(that doesn’t cost the earth) then now is the<br />

time to show it.<br />

Ask for help<br />

If you’re unsure of what to get someone a<br />

little hint from the person is okay. Children<br />

especially love writing lists of what they<br />

would like, so save those catalogues coming<br />

through the letterbox, look at newspaper<br />

advertisements or go online and spend<br />

some time with them to find out what their<br />

perfect present is.<br />

It’s okay also to say that the gift they have<br />

chosen is too expensive but then together<br />

search through and find an alternative. It<br />

can still be a surprise for them on the day,<br />

if you get them to write down two or three<br />

of their favourite things and then tell them<br />

you will pick one from their list.<br />

Shop assistants can also offer great ideas<br />

>> Carseats, buggies and strollers<br />

>> Cots, portacots and linen<br />

>> Highchairs and feeding products<br />

>> Breastfeeding products<br />

>> Gifts, toys and so much more<br />

>> Hires - short or long term<br />

if you give them the gender and age of<br />

the people you are shopping for. They<br />

know what stock they have in store<br />

and can save you time and struggle by<br />

culling out the things that may not be<br />

appropriate.<br />

Before you head out make sure you are<br />

rested up, fed and hydrated and stress<br />

free – if you aren’t, chances are you will<br />

blow your budget just to get the job<br />

done quickly. Shopping hours are often<br />

extended at this time of year, so shop<br />

smart and go either early in the morning<br />

or late at night when shops should be<br />

less busy.<br />

Rangi, Burnside problem-solvers off to US<br />

RANGI RURU Girls’ School<br />

and Burnside High students who<br />

excelled at a national problemsolving<br />

competition have been<br />

invited to showcase their skills in<br />

the United States.<br />

Rangi Ruru had teams in the<br />

year 9, 10, 12 and 13 divisions of<br />

the 25th annual Future Problem<br />

Solving national finals in<br />

Auckland this month.<br />

Students from Rangi Ruru,<br />

Burnside High and Cashmere<br />

High will head to Massachusetts<br />

next year for the FPS<br />

international finals.<br />

Most of the contingent flew to<br />

Auckland for the national final<br />

but the year 13 students elected<br />

to compete from Christchurch<br />

so they would have more time to<br />

study for exams.<br />

The combined year 12 team,<br />

which included students from<br />

Rangi Ruru, St Margaret’s<br />

College and Burnside High, won<br />

the presentation of action plan<br />

section and finished second in<br />

the senior global issues problemsolving<br />

section.<br />

The year 13 team from Rangi<br />

Ruru won the senior global issues<br />

problem-solving section.<br />

In the final, teams had a mindbending<br />

challenge – how to fix<br />

cloud storage problems in the<br />

year 2038.<br />

Rangi Ruru digital technology<br />

teacher Dave Hullen said the<br />

challenge was a daunting task but<br />

the girls took it head on.<br />

“This was the culmination of<br />

a year of hard work, research,<br />

practice and creative thinking,”<br />

he said. “For most of the<br />

younger girls, this was their<br />

first time at nationals and they<br />

did themselves and Rangi<br />

Ruru proud. Their enthusiasm,<br />

determination, intelligence and<br />

creativity will assure them of<br />

winners Emily Davey (left),<br />

Lucy Anderson, E Wen Wong,<br />

future success in FPS.”<br />

The Rangi Ruru teams earned<br />

their place at nationals in term<br />

three with submissions on<br />

solving future problems with<br />

philanthrocapitalism – a type of<br />

philanthropy that mirrors the<br />

way business is done in the notfor-profit<br />

area.<br />

Earlier in the year, the teams<br />

practiced their problem-solving<br />

skills by studying problems<br />

related to infectious diseases and<br />

toxic waste.<br />

The teams knew the national<br />

finals topic was cloud storage<br />

so they researched binary,<br />

encryption, compression,<br />

quantum computing and<br />

projected current trends.<br />

International medals<br />

for students<br />

THREE RANGI Ruru Girls’<br />

School students have been<br />

awarded prestigious international<br />

medals for academic excellence.<br />

International Competitions<br />

and Assessments for Schools<br />

awards were presented to Arwen<br />

van Pallandt, year 12, for writing,<br />

Kate Gourley, year 9, for digital<br />

technologies, and Anna Wyn-<br />

Harris, year 7, for English.<br />

Rangi Ruru principal Dr<br />

Sandra Hastie said the awards<br />

were an incredible achievement<br />

and she offered warm<br />

congratulations to the three<br />

recipients.<br />

ICAS conducts examinations<br />

annually in Australia and in<br />

more than 20 countries in Asia,<br />

Africa, Europe, the Pacific and<br />

United States. More than one<br />

million student entries are<br />

accepted from more than 6300<br />

schools in Australia and New<br />

Zealand annually.<br />

It caters for students from years<br />

2-12 and assesses students’ skills<br />

in digital technologies, English,<br />

mathematics, science, spelling<br />

and writing.<br />

The ICAS medals will be<br />

presented on Saturday, 2pm, at<br />

the Auckland University Business<br />

School.<br />

In addition to the Auckland<br />

ceremony, Dr Hastie will<br />

present medals to the Rangi<br />

Ruru students at the school next<br />

Tuesday.<br />

WW1 memorabilia<br />

on display at<br />

St Andrew’s<br />

A St Andrew’s College exhibition,<br />

which includes former rector<br />

JB Mawson’s medals (left), has<br />

been set up to mark the 100th<br />

anniversary of the end of World<br />

War 1. The display was prepared<br />

by social sciences teacher Ian<br />

Morrison. It includes books,<br />

documents, student research on<br />

WW1 soldiers and a the uniform<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Top-selling author in fight against quarry<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

SORAYA NICHOLAS has<br />

recently made a name for herself<br />

fighting a quarry in Yaldhurst.<br />

But away from opposing the<br />

Road Metals quarry extension<br />

near her home, Nicholas – who<br />

publishes under the name Soraya<br />

Lane – is a top-selling author<br />

writing historical women’s<br />

fiction.<br />

The former Merivale woman<br />

started writing books 15 years<br />

ago, with little results. But that<br />

changed after she published her<br />

first novel, Voyage of the Heart,<br />

in 2013.<br />

Fast-forward to today and<br />

Nicholas is currently in the<br />

process of pitching her novels<br />

to United States television<br />

networks.<br />

“It’s very surreal. When you’re<br />

writing a novel . . . it’s a movie<br />

in my head and to think that<br />

someone might actually take that<br />

story, stamp their own creativity<br />

on it and turn it into something<br />

visual is pretty exciting,”<br />

Nicholas said.<br />

She published Voyage of the<br />

Heart independently.<br />

“That novel did really well<br />

and sold about 20,000 copies on<br />

my own and then I was offered<br />

a publishing deal by Amazon<br />

Publishing through their Lake<br />

Union imprint and the rest is<br />

history,” Nicholas said.<br />

Nicholas’ second novel, Wives<br />

of War, debuted at No 2 on<br />

Amazon Kindle in the United<br />

Kingdom and United States in<br />

July last year.<br />

She was the first Kiwi to reach<br />

No 2 in the list.<br />

“I couldn’t quite crack<br />

No 1 [overall]. But I took out<br />

WRITER: Soraya<br />

Nicholas is<br />

a top-selling<br />

author who is<br />

also leading<br />

the campaign<br />

against the<br />

proposed Road<br />

Metals quarry<br />

extension in<br />

Yaldhurst.<br />

the No 1 spot in historical<br />

fiction, women’s fiction and also<br />

romance,” Nicholas said.<br />

Wives of War sold more than<br />

100,000 copies in the United<br />

Kingdom and United States.<br />

She has focused on romance<br />

novels due to market demands.<br />

“When I first started writing<br />

romance it was purely because<br />

from a business point of view<br />

romance is one of the biggest<br />

genres in the world,” Nicholas<br />

said.<br />

Nicholas said she has chosen<br />

to stay out of the public limelight<br />

in New Zealand until this year,<br />

when she decided to fight the<br />

proposed Road Metals quarry<br />

extension in Yaldhurst.<br />

Nicholas initially studied to be<br />

a lawyer, but never practised due<br />

to her love for writing.<br />

The knowledge in law was one<br />

of the reasons she has vocally<br />

campaigned against the Road<br />

Metals quarry extension.<br />

“I’ve been wanting to do work<br />

for charities or unpaid work<br />

and then this [quarry extension]<br />

came up. With quarrying so<br />

close to homes it’s nice to know<br />

I’m helping people who need it.”<br />

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 />

New bid to fix potholes<br />

Action looms<br />

on Hawke St<br />

car park<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 />

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 />

Activities and Events in<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 />

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 />

“You can just about guarant e<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
