BLOCKED: Buses have to avoid cars parked in the Riccarton Rd bus lane during morning operational hours.<br />
New bus lanes ‘unusable’<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
NEW BUS lanes on Riccarton<br />
Rd are being ignored by<br />
motorists less than a month<br />
after they were opened.<br />
The bus lanes between Deans<br />
Ave and Harakeke St are part<br />
of the recently completed $2.57<br />
million Riccarton Rd renewal<br />
and resurfacing works.<br />
The bus lanes opened on<br />
<strong>November</strong> 1.<br />
Red Bus chief executive Paul<br />
McNoe said the Riccarton Rd<br />
bus lanes are “unusable” when<br />
cars are parked.<br />
“Because of the number of<br />
cars parked are substantial . . .<br />
it’s unavailable for its intended<br />
use,” Mr McNoe said.<br />
City council transport<br />
operations manager Steffan<br />
Thomas said 29 warning<br />
letters have been handed out<br />
to drivers for ignoring the bus<br />
lanes.<br />

PEOPLE IN Avonhead and<br />
Russley are urging the New<br />
Zealand Transport Agency to<br />
install traffic lights sooner than<br />
it is planning at a “dangerous”<br />
intersection.<br />
Residents have<br />
complained<br />
about safety at<br />
the Yaldhurst<br />
and Withells Rds<br />
intersection to<br />
NZTA and the city<br />
council since 2014.<br />
NZTA manages<br />
Yaldhurst Rd as<br />
it is part of State<br />
Highway 73.<br />
NZTA senior traffic and<br />
Somnath<br />
Sarkar<br />
Bagchi<br />
safety engineer David Scarlet said<br />
it is planning to design traffic<br />
lights in the current financial<br />
year.<br />
Said Mr Scarlet: “We need<br />
to determine the design and<br />
then the estimated cost, then<br />
decide whether to proceed with<br />
construction.”<br />
“If it goes ahead, it could be in<br />
2019/20,” he said.<br />
Avonhead Community Group<br />
chairman Somnath Sarkar<br />
Bagchi wants the traffic lights fast<br />
tracked.<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
from the reporter’s desk<br />
TEMPLETON AND Weedons residents have long known this<br />
day was coming.<br />
Fulton Hogan submitted its resource consent application to<br />
Environment Canterbury and Selwyn District Council for its<br />
proposed 170ha quarry last Tuesday (page 3).<br />
If this year is anything to go by, it will be fiercely fought by residents<br />
who have made their stance against the quarry clear.<br />
Quarries are becoming an increasingly hot topic in the west, as<br />
we discussed with Yaldhurst author Soraya Nicholas (page 10).<br />
It’s a topic I have to cover frequently. A common phrase mentioned<br />
to me is the “sense of fear” in the community about the<br />
potential effects of quarries.<br />
As the city grows, the demand for rock will continue to<br />
increase. And as the population grows, more and more people will<br />
find themselves near quarries, particularly as the population shifts<br />
west.<br />
I suspect quarrying in the outskirts of the city will be one of the<br />
big environmental debates in the coming years, which may one<br />
day force the Government to intervene. – Anan Zaki<br />

Quarry consent application lodged<br />
Opponents<br />
vow to keep<br />
fighting plans<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
AFTER MONTHS of delays<br />
Fulton Hogan has submitted a<br />
resource consent application to<br />
quarry near Templeton.<br />
Environment Canterbury and<br />
the Selwyn District Council<br />
received the resource consent<br />
application last<br />
Tuesday.<br />
ECan said the<br />
application will<br />
now be assessed<br />
to determine if<br />
all of the required<br />
information has<br />
Simon<br />
Moore<br />
been provided by<br />
Fulton Hogan.<br />
The resource<br />
consent<br />
application is yet to be formally<br />
accepted by ECan.<br />
The company is proposing<br />
a quarry at a 170ha site on<br />
Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones and<br />
Maddisons Rds.<br />
Fulton Hogan first announced<br />
its plans for a quarry in the area<br />
in December last year and said<br />
it would submit the consent<br />
application in February.<br />
But the submission was<br />
delayed to May, then September,<br />
and then <strong>November</strong>.<br />
The quarry proposal has<br />
attracted vocal opposition<br />
from Templeton and Weedons<br />
residents.<br />
Templeton Residents’<br />
Association chairman Garry<br />
Kilday said people have<br />
anticipated the resource consent<br />
application for some time.<br />
“It’s been coming and it’s not<br />
unexpected.”<br />
Weedons Residents’<br />
Association member Simon<br />
Moore said it was a “very sad<br />
day” for the communities near<br />
the proposed quarry.<br />
“None of us want it.<br />
They’ve got no interest<br />
except money. It’s nothing to do<br />
with Christchurch’s needs,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Moore said residents will<br />
now prepare to fight the resource<br />
consent application should it be<br />
HOT SPOT:<br />
Fulton<br />
Hogan has<br />
submitted<br />
its resource<br />
consent<br />
application<br />
to quarry<br />
on a 170ha<br />
site near<br />
Templeton.<br />
accepted by ECan.<br />
“This is a battle, the war is not<br />
over yet.” He said the fight will<br />
cost time and money.<br />
“There are going to be lots<br />
of people who are going to be<br />
affected by this who are all<br />
going to have to spend time and<br />
money,” Mr Moore said.<br />
“At the end of the day, Fulton<br />
Hogan could get what they want,<br />
but I can assure you . . . I’ll do<br />
what it takes,” he said.<br />

SCHOOL CROSSINGS<br />
Two kea crossings have been<br />
proposed outside Knights Stream<br />

crossings only operate when a<br />

DENTON PARK MEMORIAL<br />
Following a request from Hornby<br />

BUSY: There have been 13 crashes at the Yaldhurst and Withells Rds<br />
intersection since 2013.<br />
Residents want traffic<br />
lights fast tracked<br />
•From page 1<br />
Prof Bagchi said due<br />
to traffic increases,<br />
commuters are “risking<br />
their lives” at the<br />
intersection everyday.<br />
“A few simple traffic<br />
lights installation should<br />
not take time like another<br />
two or three years.”<br />
“I am glad that<br />
finally NZTA has<br />
initiated some process<br />
and thinking on this<br />
particular intersection,” he<br />
said.<br />

intersection.<br />
While he has not<br />
witnessed a crash at the<br />
intersection himself, he<br />
has seen many near misses<br />
and said the intersection is<br />
dangerous.<br />
Said Mr Michel-Smith:<br />
“At rush hour . . . people<br />
turning into Yaldhurst Rd<br />
from Withells Rd tend to<br />
get stuck there for a very<br />
long time and start making<br />
silly decisions and taking<br />
small gaps.”<br />
“I’ve seen a number of<br />
those instances and it’s just<br />
getting worse as the traffic<br />
builds up in that area,” he<br />

people’s concerns about<br />
the intersection, Mr Scarlet<br />
said.<br />
Most crashes at the<br />
intersection in the past five<br />
years have been during<br />
day-time and were caused<br />
by failure to give way to<br />
traffic on Yaldhurst Rd, Mr<br />
Scarlet said.<br />
“As the traffic volumes<br />
increase on Yaldhurst Rd,<br />
it becomes more difficult<br />
for drivers to find a space to<br />
turn in and out of Withells<br />
Rd safely, hence the need<br />
to consider if traffic signals<br />
are needed.”<br />

been towed and no infringement<br />
notices have been issued yet, Mr<br />
Thomas said.<br />
“Education is an important<br />
component to<br />
keeping the<br />
bus lanes clear<br />
and this is<br />
currently being<br />
conducted as<br />
part of our one<br />
month phase to<br />
educate motorists<br />
about the<br />
Paul McNoe<br />
bus lane rules.”<br />
Vehicles<br />
parked in bus lanes during operational<br />
times impacted the overall<br />
efficiency of the bus network, Mr<br />
Thomas said.<br />
Mr McNoe said it was “reasonable”<br />
to give out warning letters<br />
in the first month because the bus<br />
lanes have only recently opened.<br />
“It can take a while for people to<br />
sometimes realise that it is what it<br />
is,” he said.<br />
Bus lanes being blocked has<br />
been an ongoing issue for a number<br />
of years, Mr McNoe said.<br />
“I think it’s early days . . . clearly<br />
it’s frustrating bus drivers at this<br />
stage, but I think the approach<br />
they [city council] are taking is a<br />
reasonable approach.”<br />
Alcohol store<br />
denies teen<br />
on birthday<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
AN AVONHEAD teen was left<br />
with a bitter taste on his 18th<br />
birthday after a liquor store<br />
refused to sell him beer.<br />
Car yard worker Andrew<br />
Winton turned 18 on <strong>November</strong><br />
13.<br />
To celebrate his birthday with<br />
work colleagues at Avon City<br />
Ford, Mr Winton went to buy<br />
some beers at Coach Corner<br />
Liquor on Yaldhurst Rd.<br />
It was his first time buying<br />
alcohol.<br />
He provided his driver licence<br />
to prove he turned 18 on the<br />
day, but to his surprise the shop<br />
assistant refused to sell him the<br />
beer.<br />
Mr Winton said the shop<br />
assistant told him he wasn’t old<br />
enough, and that he had to be<br />
18 years and one day old to buy<br />
alcohol.<br />
“It was just bizarre.”<br />
“I told him I’m 18 and that I<br />
can buy it, but he told me it’s the<br />
rule and I said, no, I don’t think<br />
it is,” he said.<br />
Mr Winton decided not to<br />
argue and left without his beers.<br />
Police confirmed people can<br />
purchase alcohol on their 18th<br />
birthday.<br />

FreshChoice, SuperValue ditch single-use plastic bags<br />
FRESHCHOICE and<br />
SuperValue are no longer<br />
providing single-use plastic<br />
carrier bags at their checkouts.<br />
The supermarkets went plastic<br />
bag-free on Tuesday.<br />
Group general manager<br />
Robert Smith said he is thrilled<br />
to have gone single-use plastic<br />
carrier bag-free earlier than<br />
expected.<br />
The original target was the<br />
SOBERING: Avonhead resident Andrew Winton was refused beer for not being old enough on<br />
his 18th birthday.<br />
assistant Sunny Limbachiya told<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> that he was the<br />
one who refused to sell beer to<br />
Mr Winton on his 18th birthday.<br />
Mr Limbachiya blamed a<br />
calendar at the shop for his<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 />
actions. “We have this calendar<br />
that we use and that calendar<br />
says ‘born after’. So I was<br />
confused.” Mr Limbachiya said<br />
he regretted the incident and<br />
said it will not be repeated.<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 />
Said Mr Winton: “For my first<br />
time [buying beer] it was pretty<br />
unfortunate.”<br />
He still managed to enjoy<br />
a drink with his family that<br />
night.<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 />

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 />
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 />
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 />
He expected about eight to<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 />

Have your<br />
say on<br />
the plans<br />
for West<br />
Broken<br />
Run Reserve<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
CONSULTATION IS open for<br />
a proposed landscape plan at<br />
the West Broken Run Reserve<br />
in Wigram.<br />
The city council made the<br />
proposal after suggestions from<br />
residents.<br />
The proposal includes<br />
planting native species, fruit<br />
trees, a nature play area and<br />
boardwalk over the stream at<br />
the reserve.<br />
Public feedback opened last<br />
week and closes on December<br />
12.<br />
Should the landscape project<br />
be approved at a meeting to be<br />
held in February, the project<br />
will start in winter.<br />
Neighbours of the West<br />
Broken Run Reserve sent a<br />
request to plant the park in<br />
May.<br />
The city council said planting<br />
more of the reserve will reduce<br />
the grassed area and create a<br />
more “inviting” environment.<br />
The reserve is on the corner<br />
of Broken Run and Wigram Rd.<br />
The city council is also<br />
planning a community planting<br />
day in winter.<br />
Top-selling Yaldhurst author<br />
now a quarry fighter<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 />
She started writing books 15<br />
years ago, with little results. But<br />
that changed after she published<br />
her first novel, Voyage of the<br />
Heart, 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<br />
you’re writing a novel . . . it’s a<br />
movie in my head and to think<br />
that someone might actually<br />
take that story, stamp their<br />
own creativity on it and turn it<br />
into something visual is pretty<br />
exciting,” 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 />

FRUSTRATION is mounting<br />
over rubbish bags being dumped<br />
on roads.<br />
A number of residents went<br />
on Facebook to report that black<br />
rubbish bags have been dumped<br />
near the Quarry View subdivision<br />
in Halswell and in rural<br />
Selwyn since <strong>November</strong> last year.<br />
Prebbleton resident Miriam<br />
Martin said on most occasions<br />
the bags are full of discarded<br />

leading the campaign against the proposed Road Metals<br />
quarry extension in Yaldhurst.<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 />
noodles or other food scraps.<br />
But household rubbish has also<br />
been dumped. Last week household<br />
rubbish was found dumped<br />
on Tosswill Rd, Prebbleton.<br />
“It’s a bit weird as to where they<br />
are coming from,” Dr Martin<br />
said.<br />
The rubbish is also only<br />
found on quiet rural roads, she<br />
said. “They are obviously going<br />
through the back roads from<br />
Halswell or to Halswell,” Dr<br />
Martin said.<br />
No 1 [overall]. But I took out<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 notified the Selwyn District<br />
Council about the rubbish last<br />
week. “The food scraps are attracting<br />
flocks of birds, rats and<br />
mice. It’s a health hazard,” Dr<br />
Martin said.<br />
Others business pay to have<br />
their rubbish cleared she said.<br />
“It’s criminal behaviour,” Dr<br />
Martin<br />
said.<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 />

Said a Selwyn District Council<br />
spokesman: “We have received<br />
complaints about rubbish being<br />
dumped in the Prebbleton area,<br />
and have removed it once we<br />
have been made aware of the<br />
dumping.”<br />
Dr Martin urged more people<br />
to report rubbish dumping and<br />
take pictures of the people if<br />
caught in the act.<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 />

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 />
Get your<br />
Christmas sorted<br />
before the summer BBQ’s and<br />
beers start!<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 />
PARA PARA PARA PARA PARA PARA PARA PARA PARA PARA PARA PARA PARA<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 />

Iris to represent Wigram<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
HORNBY HIGH School student<br />
Iris Taramai is the new Youth<br />
MP for Wigram.<br />
The 16-year-old was selected by<br />
Wigram MP Megan Woods and<br />
will represent the electorate at<br />
next year’s Youth Parliament in<br />
Wellington.<br />
Iris hopes to learn more about<br />
Parliament and the Wigram<br />
electorate.<br />
“Initially, I was quite surprised<br />
that I was selected, but as soon<br />
as the idea of being a Youth MP<br />
settled in, I felt the determination<br />
to do a good job of it,” she said.<br />
“I am definitely looking<br />
forward to working with Megan<br />
Woods.”<br />
Iris became interested in<br />
politics during a school trip to<br />
the Beehive when she was at<br />
intermediate school.<br />
She believes the most<br />
important issue facing young<br />
people is a lack of employment<br />
opportunities.<br />
“This issue could lead into<br />
youth crime, which is definitely<br />
a problem which New Zealand<br />
doesn’t want to deal with,” Iris<br />
said.<br />
Dr Woods asked each high<br />
school in her electorate to<br />
nominate a candidate for the role<br />
of Youth MP.<br />
LEADERS: Wigram MP Megan Woods has chosen Hornby High<br />
School student Iris Taramai, 16, as her Youth MP.<br />
She asked the students why<br />
they thought they would be a<br />
good representative for Wigram<br />
and how they would benefit from<br />
the experience.<br />
“I was very impressed by how<br />
dedicated Iris is to both her<br />
studies and extra-curricular<br />
activities, such as softball,” Dr<br />
Woods said.<br />
“I was also impressed with<br />
Iris’s passion for her local<br />
community. I think she’ll make a<br />
great Youth MP,” she said.<br />
The 2019 Youth<br />
Parliament will take place from<br />
March 1 to August 31, with 120<br />
Youth MPs and up to 20 youth<br />
press gallery members attending<br />
the two-day Youth Parliament<br />
event in Wellington on July 16<br />
and 17.<br />
Halswell resident Geoff<br />
Teehan responds to the<br />
article about new speeds<br />
in the Knights Stream<br />
subdivision<br />
AS A resident of the Longhurst<br />
subdivision, the one that is right<br />
next door to Knights Stream, I<br />
had to laugh at an article in the<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> that quote: “A city<br />
council report said residents in<br />
the [Knights Stream] subdivision<br />
had raised concerns<br />
about the existing<br />
speed limits.”<br />
A lot of residents<br />
have complained to<br />
council about our<br />
untidy landscaping,<br />
lawns not mowed,<br />
weeds up to 45cm<br />
even gorse growing<br />
in an empty section.<br />
I complained to the local<br />
councillor and she said she had<br />
raised the issue with council but<br />
to no avail.<br />
My rates are $3500 and I’m<br />
sure everyone expects a better<br />
service. Also they give out<br />
community pride certificates to<br />
residents with tidy gardens, pity<br />
they don’t set an example.<br />

Abbey van der Plas – How<br />
about eat before you go to the<br />
meeting and donate that $84 to a<br />
food bank programme or a family<br />
that needs it. Expecting food<br />
at these meetings is just another<br />
form of privilege.<br />
Chrys Horn –<br />
I don’t begrudge<br />
them some food – from<br />
what I’ve seen, the<br />
board often come to<br />
meetings from work<br />
and often haven’t<br />
had the chance to eat<br />
beforehand. Some of<br />
them at least work<br />
hard on our behalf<br />
(and if they don’t then that’s<br />
because people didn’t vote or<br />
didn’t bother finding out about<br />
who they voted for). Being able<br />
to have something to eat means<br />
that they are more likely to last<br />
the distance.<br />
On top of that the food is offered<br />
to and eaten by any of the<br />
public that come to the meeting<br />
– and it is not luxury stuff, nor<br />
luxury quantities, based on what<br />
I’ve seen on the occasions I’ve<br />
been to meetings.<br />
Clearly though, if their spend<br />
is high relative to other boards<br />
they might need to think about<br />
what they buy and perhaps who<br />
they buy from.<br />

City2Surf set to celebrate 45 years<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
STAR MEDIA will celebrate<br />
45 years since participants in<br />
the City2Surf hit the ground<br />
running.<br />
Since 1975, Star Media’s<br />
City2Surf, one of the South<br />
Island’s largest participation<br />
events, has brought thousands<br />
of people together for fun and<br />
fitness.<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 would<br />
start in Cathedral Square and<br />
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<br />
14km event is at Centennial Park<br />
and the Sport Canterbury 6km<br />
event begins at Hansen Park,<br />
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 />
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 />

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 />

March 24, $30<br />
•Children aged 10 and<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.

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 />

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

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

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

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />

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

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

The New Zealand Mounted<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />

to the trust.<br />
The presentation is a prelude<br />
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />

As a tribute to those who<br />
served, members of the trust wi l<br />

Mr A pleton said it was<br />
important children were<br />
educated on what soldiers<br />
wen through during World<br />
War 1 and World War 2.<br />
But he said the presentation<br />
didn’t go into t o much detail<br />
and was more of a “show and<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />
Children were shown the type<br />
of kits horses were required to<br />

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

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

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