Code of conduct issue 

Jones and 

Stringer at 

centre of 

conflict 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

THE PAPANUI-Innes 

Community Board is embroiled 

in a code of conduct issue. 

But the city council and the 

community board are refusing 

to release details about what 

board member or members are 

involved. 

Nor’West News understands 

ongoing tension between board 

chairwoman Ali Jones and 

outspoken board member John 

Stringer has led to the code of 

conduct matter. 

Mr Stringer has been 

outspoken in the past about 

board decisions, in particular 

the Main North Rd bus priority 

project. 

Nor’West News revealed 

last month an independent 

facilitator was needed to oversee 

a confidential meeting between 

board members on September 24 

because of ongoing conflict. 

A request by Nor West News 

under the Local Government 

Official Information Meetings 

Act for emails between Ms Jones 

and Mr Stringer has been refused 

by the city council. 

CLASH: It is understood that ongoing tension between Papanui-Innes Community Board chairwoman Ali Jones and outspoken 

board member John Stringer has led to a code of conduct investigation. 

Last month, Ms Jones 

told Nor’West News Mr Stringer 

was a “relative newcomer to the 

board” who “needed clarification 

regarding the process.” 

Her comment prompted an 

angry response from Mr Stringer, 

who claimed confidentiality had 

been breached. 

Neither Mr Stringer or Ms 

Jones would discuss the code of 

conduct investigation. 

The city council said it had 

refused to release the emails 

between Ms Jones and Mr 

Stringer because “it would 

inhibit the exchange of free and 

frank opinions in future.” The 

city council also said “public 

exposure of those opinions can 

sometimes have a chilling effect 

on people’s willingness to express 

themselves openly, honestly and 

completely in future.” 

The city council considered 

that the correspondence between 

Ms Jones and Mr Stringer was an 

exchange constituting a “free and 

frank expression of opinion”. 

The city council said it would 

not comment on the code of 

conduct investigation until it was 

completed. 

Meanwhile, code of conduct 

complaints against Coastal 

Ward city councillor David East, 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board chairwoman Kim Money 

and deputy chairman Tim Sintes, 

and Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member 

Darrell Latham over allegations 

council staff had tampered with 

the District Plan are ongoing.

behind-closed-doors, stays behind-closeddoors. 

On page 1 today, we reveal a code of conduct complaint 

involving a board member, or members, is being investigated by

But the council and board mouths are zipped over who is 

involved and what the code of conduct complaint is specifically 

about. 

We know there are tensions between board chairwoman 

Ali Jones and board member John Stringer, which we have 

previously reported. Stringer is outspoken and makes his views 

on board decisions public. 

The code of conduct complaint takes it to a new level.

$10k to enhance Bishopdale 


BISHOPDALE VILLAGE Mall is 

set to be rejuvenated for the first 

time in more than 50 years. 

Last week the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board granted 

$10,000 to the 

Bishopdale 

Regeneration 

Project. 

The money 

will be spent 

on beautifying 

the area and 

Amanda 

Nuttall 

developing 

fun, friendly 

spaces for the 

community. 

Suggestions for the project 

included a mural, outdoor 

markets, new seating, pathways, 

plantings, improvements to toilet 

blocks, outdoor chess and ping 

pong, and new signage. 

Bishopdale Businesses 

Association chairwoman 

Amanda Nuttall said she was 

glad funding for the upgrade had 

been approved. 

“Bishopdale Village was 

started in the 1960s and has had 

no significant upgrade in that 

time,” she said. 

“A start has been made with 

REGENERATE: The Bishopdale Village Mall will be rejuvenated 

for the first time since it was established in the 1960’s. 

the library and community 

centre but it would be great to see 

more of the village upgraded.” 

She said the only challenge left 

would be finding projects that 

all businesses in the area were on 

board with. 

“One of the challenges 

here is that the buildings 

are individually-owned and 

ensuring all landlords commit to 

the upgrade is not easy.” 

She hopes the upgrade 

will draw more people to the 

Bishopdale area. 

“The population in this area 

is growing and this is an easilyaccessible 

and convenient hub of 

the community.” 

The association has been 

working with the community 

board and Development 

Christchurch Ltd to pinpoint 

what people wanted to see in 

the area. DCL chief executive 

Rob Hall said working with the 

community on the project was 

essential. 

“The aim has been to canvass 

the views of the people and 

groups who 

live and work 

in the village to 

identify possible 

opportunities to 

improve and revitalise 

the area, 

attract more 

people and create 

a more lively Rob Hall 

space,” he said. 

“A recent design workshop 

identified some possible actions 

for the area, including working 

with the business association 

to create niche attractions 

and branding, some ‘quick 

win’ projects to liven-up the 

space, potential commercial 

redevelopments to create better 

connections and a review of land 

use.” 

Community board chairman 

Sam MacDonald said it was 

“about time” the Bishopdale area 

had an upgrade. 

“We need to stop talking about 

this stuff and just do it.”

Survey won’t change Richmond 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

RICHMOND residents don’t 

believe a survey aiming to gather 

information on what is needed 

in the suburb will make any 

difference to the area. 

The city council has 

commissioned independent 

social researcher Sarah Wylie 

to undertake a Richmond 

community needs analysis 

survey. 

But a key 

source of 

information for 

the survey will 

not be made 

available until 

Hayley 

Guglietta 

Matthew 

Horncastle 

next year. It 

aims to provide 

a demographic 

profile of 

Richmond using 

the 2018 Census 

data. 

Statistics New 

Zealand could 

not confirm a 

timeframe on 

when the Census 

data would be 

made public, but 

it won’t be until next year. 

Richmond Residents 

and Business Association 

chairwoman Hayley Guglietta 

UNENTHUSIASTIC: Richmond residents are uncertain 

a survey commissioned by the city council will make a 

difference to improving the area. 

said the survey would only 

confirm what residents already 

know. 

“Also there is not much they 

can do until they get the Census 

data,” she said. 

City council head of 

community support, governance 

and partnerships John Filsell 

said 18 key informants in the 

Richmond community will be 

interviewed for the analysis 

survey. 

A timeline has not been 

specified on when the survey 

will be released. 

Mrs Guglietta said one 

issue Richmond is facing has 

to do with the high-density 

development that is impacting 

on communities because there 

was no notification on the 

consents. 

She said by the time the survey 

gets the data it will be too late. 

The association has expressed 

concern over the Williams 

Corporation’s 21 housing unit 

development at 58 Perth St. 

Work on the development is 

expected to start next year. 

Williams Corporation managing 

director Matthew 

Horncastle said the residents 

shouldn’t be notified because it 

complies with all the planning 

rules. 

“I am very disappointed in 

news channels that condone 

people complaining about highdensity 

affordable housing when 

New Zealand has some of the 

most unaffordable housing in 

the world,” he said. 

Richmond resident Don 

Gould called the survey 

engagement for the sake of 

engagement. 

He said he has been 

interviewed by the researcher 

and the information may not 

be presented until the middle of 

next year. 

“There is too much 

construction, too much 

frustration with everything 

closed at once,” he said. 

But city councillor Deon 

Swiggs said it will give direction 

on what Richmond needs as a 

collective. 

“It is one of the suburbs that 

doesn’t have a master plan 

. . . after the earthquake, a lot of 

other suburbs had master plans,” 

he said. 

Concerns over 

Riccarton Rd 

tree plan 

• By Anan Zaki 

TREES COULD soon line the 

middle of Riccarton Rd – but the 

city council proposal has been 

slammed by residents. 

It is planning to plant 27 

columnar hornbeam trees along 

the median of Riccarton Rd 

between Clarence and Matipo 

Sts. 

In a strongly worded letter 

to Mayor Lianne Dalziel, city 

council chief executive Karleen 

Edwards and Wigram MP 

Megan Woods, the Central 

Riccarton Residents’ Association 

said the proposal is “extremely 

dangerous”. 

Association chairman Garth 

Wilson said about 80 members 

were asked about the trees and 

90 per cent opposed it. 

“Riccarton Rd is narrow 

as it is and ambulances and 

fire engines inevitably have to 

travel down the middle of the 

road because of traffic build 

up, especially since there are 

four sets of traffic lights from 

Clarence St to Matipo St,” the 

residents said. 

The trees are part of stage two 

of the Riccarton Rd upgrade, 

scheduled to begin early next 

year.

Battle won to make road safer 


ONE OF the city’s biggest 

employers has won the battle to 

make a Harewood road safer. 

Tait Communications 

approached the Fendalton- 


Community Board in an effort 

to have no-stopping restrictions 

and a flush median outside the 

entrance to its Wooldridge Rd 

business. 

The company, which employs 

more than 400 people at the 

site on Woolrdridge Rd, raised 

concerns last month over the low 

visibility at the entrance to its car 

park. 

The recent upgrade to Russley 

Rd banned right turns from 

Wairakei Rd onto Russley Rd, 

which has resulted in more traffic 

using Wooldridge Rd. 

There have been two reported 

crashes along the section of 

Wooldridge Rd in the last five 

years and four within the last 

eight years. 

All the recorded crashes were 

located at driveways and three of 

those were directly outside the 

Tait Communications site. 

A Tait Communications 

spokesperson said the company 

was “extremely pleased” with 

SUCCESS: Tait Communications has won the battle to have 

no-stopping restrictions and a flush median put along 

Wooldridge Rd near its headquarters (inset). 

the community board’s decision 

to allow no-stopping lines and a 

flush median to be installed on 

the road. 

“As the road has become more 

heavily used, the number of 

recorded near-miss events had 

made this a major safety risk for 

our staff members and visitors,” 

the spokesperson said. 

“The council and community 

board members have been very 

responsive to this and the 

proposed changes will resolve all 

of the concerns we have had.” 

The decision to approve the 

proposal was delayed after the 

community board requested city 

council staff look into other 

options that would save on-street 

parking. 

However, community 

board chairman Sam 

MacDonald said parking 

could not be saved. 

But he was happy with the 

outcome. 

“All we asked for was that 

council staff went back to 

Wooldridge Rd for two weeks to 

look at whether we can keep any 

car parking,” he said. 

“They’ve gone and done 

that, and they couldn’t keep 

any because of the safety 

requirements. 

“There has been no additional 

cost. There’s been a slight 

delay of a couple of weeks, but 

we communicated that with 

Tait, who were obviously quite 

concerned, and they’re quite 

comfortable with where we are at 

with the decision.” 

No new bus 

stops for 

Gardiners Rd 


A BID to install four bus stops 

along Gardiners Rd has failed. 

The bus stops were proposed 

to accommodate changes to 

the No 28 bus, which has had 

its route extended to include 

Bishopdale, Casebrook and 

Northwood. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

agreed to monitor the road over 

the next six months to see if 

demand for more stops grows. 

Board chairman Sam 

MacDonald said the two 

adjacent bus stops located 

between Harewood and 

Sawyers Arms Rds would 

service the area in the 

meantime. 

“Council staff are going to 

come back to us in six months 

and see if there’s more demand 

for another one,” he said. 

“On that road at the 

moment there are 16 people a 

day using the bus, so the need 

for it is just not there at the 

moment.” 

He said he understood 

some bus-users would be 

disappointed with the decision.

1300 parking offences near airport 

Community 

group says it 

has solution 


MORE THAN 1300 parking 

offences have been recorded near 

the Airport Business Park in 

Russley this year. 

Out of the offences, 973 were 

recorded on 

Fenhall St in 

Russley. 

There were also 

22 on Bentley St, 

280 on Pinehurst 

Cres, four on 

Penwood St, 

Somnath

Bagchi 

nine on Geraldo 

Pl, seven on 

Woodbury St, 

five on Oakhurst 

Pl and four on 

Fovant St. 

City council staff provided 

the information to the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board last week. 

Avonhead Community Group 

chairman Somnath Sarkar 

Bagchi believes the figure only 

represents around “20-30 per 

cent” of parking offences near 

PACKED: Between January 1 and October 31, Fenhall St in Russley recorded 1304 parking 

offences. 

the business park. 

The community group 

represents affected Russley 

residents. 

People of Russley have been 

fighting against car parking near 

the business park since it opened 

in 2010, he said. 

Residents only parking cannot 

come soon enough for residents, 

Prof Bagchi said. 

“In July 2017, we got 60min 

parking [from 120min].” 

But residents knew the 60min 

parking limit would not work, he 

said. “60min parking means you 

need to have enforcement officers 

continuously,” Prof Bagchi said. 

“It is not very practical to 

put an enforcement officer 

completely dedicated for one 

road.” 

The high number of offences 

proved residents fears that the 

60min parking restrictions 

would not work, Prof Bagchi 

said. “So you can imagine how 

miserably it has failed.” 


Sam MacDonald said the city 

council currently does not have 

ability to impose residents only 

parking. 

The city council is 

currently reviewing consultation 

for its draft suburban parking 

policy, which would give it the 

ability to impose residents only 

parking. 

Mr MacDonald said parking 

enforcement officers need to 

monitor streets near the business 

park on a regular basis. 

“The feedback I get [from 

residents is] in some streets you 

can’t move down them because 

of the narrow nature when they 

are blocked up.” 

The board submitted in favour 

of residents only parking in the 

draft suburban parking policy, 

Mr MacDonald said. 

“What we need staff to be 

really clear on when they 

develop this [residents only 

parking] is . . . we need to have 

a really clear and structured 

criteria where residents parking 

applies. 

“When there are significant 

[parking] issues, we want to be 

able to deal with them quickly,” 

Mr MacDonald said.

Rules set to change at reserve 

Aim to improve 

safety at 

Roto Kohatu 


THE RULES at Roto Kohatu 

Recreation Reserve are set to be 

tightened. 

Last week the Fendalton- 


Community Board approved a 

proposal to improve safety at the 

reserve. 

Over the last 

two months, 

council staff 

and board 

members have 

taken a closer 

look at how the 

reserve operates 

Sam 

MacDonald 

and outlined 

a number of 

safety concerns. 

The concerns 

included damage to bollards and 

gates, internal road safety, how 

rangers spent their time and a 

lack of clarity over who can use 

the lake and at what time. 

Several conflicts have been 

started over the use of the lake, 

and signage to indicate who is 

using it has been raised to solve 

SAFETY FIRST: The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board has approved safety improvements at Lake 

Roto Kohatu Reserve. 

the issues. 


Sam MacDonald said the safety 

improvements will get under way 

“as soon as possible.” 

“It’s more about making the 

reserve more accessible for 

people to use, particularly over 

summer, and managing the 

growing demand,” he said. 

“Most of it is under way or will 

be under way as soon as possible. 

We’ve got summer coming up, so 

it’s important that we get those 

things sorted.” 

He said council staff will 

monitor the lake over the 

summer period to ensure users 

follow the safety guidelines. 

“Staff will come back to us 

after summer to tell us how it 

went, and what we need to do to 

change it so we can make it the 

best facility we can,” he said. 

Board member Aaron Campbell 

said the biggest issue is 

managing access when demand 

is high.“I haven’t heard of physical 

fighting. However, I have 

heard of verbal disagreements 

and arguments,” he said. 

“I understand why residents 

and users can have differing 

expectations and due to the

our very best as the reserve is

“On days when 1000-2000 additional 

people turn up, parking 

too close to the water has been 

identified as an issue and does 

stretch the limits of the portaloos 

on-site. This could become a 

health issue.” 

He said he was happy the 

safety improvements are going 

ahead. “I believe there are a 

lot less incidents now than 

there were earlier, so some 

improvements have been 

effective. But other issues do 

arise and they need to be sorted 

as well,” he said.

CBD parking 

fix could cost 

ratepayers 

• By Julia Evans 

SECRET discussions have been 

held over how to fix parking 

problems in the central city which 

could come at a cost to ratepayers. 

City councillors met last week 

behind-closed-doors to consider a 

report on “central city reduced fee 

parking.” 

The city council has refused 

to release the report, or answer 

questions about it. It was deemed 

“commercially sensitive” for the 

public and city councillors remain 

tight-lipped. 

But private car park owners and 

developers have been approached 

to see what role they can play. 

Central city retailers have 

been struggling to compete with 

suburban malls which offer free 

parking. 

But property developer 

Antony Gough, who is building 

a 400-space parking building 

on Hereford St, said there has 

been discussion with the council 

around rates rebates or subsides 

for private providers. 

The report was left on the table 

without a recommendation being 

approved and will be debated 

again by city councillors.

A “RARE and magical moment” 

caught on camera saw a Hornby 

teen win a photography award. 

Zoe Evans, 15, won the 11 to 

15 category for a close-up shot of 

a Bellbird inside Auckland Zoo’s 

aviary. 

“When the Bellbird finally 

realised I was there, it looked 

straight at me with its beautiful 

brown eyes and I took my final 

shot. It was truly a rare and 

magical moment,” she said. 

Anna Babington’s heartbreaking 

shot of a injured seal 

by a boat propeller was second 

place. 

Max Eadie-Lilley won the 

under-10 category with his 

moody monochrome shot of a 

school of fish in a Lake Taupo 

dam.

SNAP: Hornby resident Zoe 

Evans’ photo (top left) won the 

11 to 15-year-old category in 

Canterbury Museum’s youth 

photography competition. 

He took the photo, which he 

titled Stuck, during a weekend 

away with his family. 

Dylan Fisher, 10, was runnerup 

for his portrait of a Kea, 

which judges said captured the 

bird’s intelligence and famously 

cheeky nature. 

The competition titled 

Amazing Animals attracted 

more than 200 entries from 

photographers aged 15 and under 

throughout Canterbury. 

The judges convened last week 

to choose a winner and runnerup 

from the two categories. 

Canterbury Museum curator 

natural history Cor Vink, who 

was one of the competition’s 

three judges, said the panel was 

blown away by the quality of the 

entries. 

“We were just amazed by 

the talent these young people 

had. We recently hosted the 

Natural History Museum’s 

Wildlife Photographer of the Year 

exhibition, and I honestly think 

some of these shots would not 

have looked out of place on the 

walls of that exhibition.” 

The winners won Prezzie Card 

prizes and their photographs are 

on display now in the museum’s 

foyer.

New life for Ballantynes’ Xmas window 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

A PROP maker who has worked 

on some of the biggest movies 

to be filmed in New Zealand has 

helped bring Ballantynes’ iconic 

Christmas windows to life this 

year. 

Simon Hames has led a high 

flying career working on the sets 

of King Kong and The Lord of the 

Rings. 

In 1999 he won the Supreme 

WOW Award for making wearable 

chairs for the World of 

Wearable Art festival. 

After starting work as a visual 

merchandise team member this 

year, Mr Hames was tasked with 

building the Christmas window. 

With the talent of Mr Hames 

on board, it was the reason Ballantynes 

decided to create the 

windows in-house this year as 

opposed to outsourcing. 

Visual merchandise manager 

Danielle Casey, who led the charge 

for this year’s theme, also has a 

distinguished background in design, 

having created windows for 

department stores Harrods and 

Selfridges in the United Kingdom. 

Pearl Schwalger-Smith, who 

has worked in a range of roles at 

Ballantynes in the past 10 years 

has also been heavily involved in 

designing the project. 

It is the first time in about 20 

years the windows have been 

designed in-house. 

Miss Casey said the project has 

been a “labour of love” with her 

team working on it since April. 

She said the theme of mice was 

inspired by popular children’s 

films featuring mice including 

The Borrowers, Mouse Hunt and 

Stuart Little. 

Ballantynes has made 

Christmas extra special for kids 

in more ways than one this 

year, creating a limited edition 

children’s book to match the 

window’s theme. 

The book called The Merry 

Mice of Dunstable House was 

donated to every primary school 

in the city and Timaru. 

The setting for the Christmas 

window and book is at Dunstable 

House, the original building 

where Ballantynes was established 

in 1854. 

It tells the tale of a little family 

of mischievous mice living with 

humans at Christmas time. 

Ballantynes has also spread

the Christmas cheer by making 

its own teddy bears named 

Dunstable. 

With every teddy bear sold 

throughout December, one is 

donated to the children’s ward at 

Christchurch Hospital. 

Marketing manager Anna 

Powell said Ballantynes wanted 

to do a couple of little things for 

the community as a way of giving 

back at Christmas time. 

The Merry Mice of Dunstable 

House is on sale for $19 until the 

end of December.

MP grows 

a mo for a 

good cause 

WAIMAKARIRI MP Matt 

Doocey has raised $800 for men’s 

health during Movember. 

He hoped to raise awareness 

and support for the Movember 

Foundation and men’s health 

issues such as prostate and 

testicular cancer, and mental 

health and suicide prevention. 

“Movember is something we 

as Kiwi blokes can get behind 

by participating, promoting and 

donating to this worthy cause. 

While I’ve had a few laughs 

along the way, men’s health is 

something we should be creating 

awareness around to reduce the 

number of men suffering from 

serious health issues like these,” 

he said. Mr Doocey abandoned 

his attempt to grow a goatee to go 

with his new moustache earlier 

in the month, on the advice of his 

constituents. 

“By week three, my wife 

informed me I was showing a 

strong resemblance to the Swedish 

Chef from the Muppets,” he said. 

The bald MP said he was aware 

that the electorate had been 

waiting to see what colour his 

facial hair would grow out as.

Stroke victim a step closer 

to getting his tricycle 


STROKE VICTIM Grant 

Cowan is edging closer to 

getting back cycling. 

Friends of the former police 

officer and triathlete rallied 

around the him after he suffered 

two strokes 18 months 

ago. 

They set up a Go Fund Me 

page to buy a recumbent tricycle 

for the 52-year-old former 

Papanui resident. 

Donations from 149 people 

reached $12,300 last Friday. 

They need $16,500 to buy the 

trike, which is able to be ridden 

while sitting down. 

Mr Cowan lost the ability to 

speak, and lost feeling in his 

right arm and right leg after 

the stroke. He now lives at St 

John of God care facility in 

Halswell. 

Mr Cowan’s friend of 30 

years Rodger Wyatt told 

Western News in October 

that when he tried the trike 

at the Bike Expo, they saw 

an expression unseen for 18 

months. 

“The look on his face, he was 

just absolutely humming.” 

Mr Cowan’s friends also

took part in the Blue Dog sixhour 

blast at McLeans Island 

in October to raise awareness 

for their cause. They won the 

race. 

Mr Cowan’s best friend 

Derrick Murray said they 

also want to raise awareness 

about strokes among 40-50 

year-olds. 

The Stroke Foundation of 

New Zealand recommends 

learning three observations 

to look for when identifying 

stroke victims. 

If the person’s face is drooping 

on one side, if one arm 

is weak or if their speech is 


slurred, phone 111.

McKay exhibition in Akaroa 

• By Louis Day 

RETIRED REDWOOD 

photographer Donald McKay’s 

work is will be exhibited in the 

Akaroa Museum. 

At the start of the year, Mr 

McKay donated more than 

40,000 individual frames to the 

museum which date from the 

late 1940s to the early 1980s. 

The collection of photos 

document social and community 

events, weddings, farming 

activities and other aspects of 

life across the Banks Peninsula. 

Mr McKay, 84, grew up on a 

farm in Le Bons Bay and began 

taking photos at Christchurch 

Boy’s High School when he 

joined the camera club. 

Mr McKay sold his bike and 

his best pair of shoes to buy a 

second-hand camera. 

“We had some really, really 

good instructors, including 

Len Casbolt and Frank 

McGregor. Also, I used to 

spend a lot of time at my 

uncle Stan McKay’s as he was 

the Christchurch Star Sun 

photographer and his son 

Ross was a skilled horse racing 

photographer. I used to admire 

their beautiful cameras and 

enlargers . . . I’m not sure what 

I liked more, the photography 

or the equipment.” 

Mr McKay started his first 

photography job in 1961 at 

Burwood Hospital as a medical 

photographer, but would still 

travel back to the peninsula 

during the weekend to photograph 

various community 

events. Museum collections 

manager Daniel Smith said the 

exhibition would focus on Mc- 

Kay’s work during the 1950s. 

“During the 50s he was 

Holiday Collection 

Dates 2018 

doing a lot of odd jobs as well 

as photography. He did a lot a 

lot of farm work and he would 

also take his camera with him 

when he was working on his 

farm jobs.” 

Mr Smith said the exhibition 

would include some of Mc- 

Kay’s most explicit work. 

“I’ve included a photograph 

from a series that follows the

tailing, tagging and emasculating 

of lambs at Lavericks Bay 

in 1951. It was a grisly affair. 

The tails were cut off with 

knives, and you can see all the 

men’s clothes are blood spattered 

– like something out of a 

Tarantino movie.” 

The exhibition will open 

on December 7 at the Akaroa 

Museum.

City chorus puts 

on festive show 

• 

By Ashleigh Monk 

THE Christchurch City Chorus 

is putting on a festive show to 

get everyone into the Christmas 

spirit. 

On December 15 the choir will 

take the stage to perform The 

Magic of Christmas. 

Musical director Virginia 

Humphrey-Taylor said the show 

would include Christmas carols, 

skits, poems and dancing. 

“We want to share the joy and 

music of Christmas with people,” 

she said. 

“We want everyone to come 

and sing carols with us. It’s 

something for the whole family 

to get everyone excited for 

Christmas.” 

She said about 80 members of 

the choir would be performing. 

“We’ve got quartets singing, 

we’ve got small groups singing, 

we’ve got about 20 children who 

will be performing,” she said. 

“We’ll sing a lot of the classic 

Christmas carols, but there will 

also be a few songs that people 

won’t know; songs from around 

the world about Christmas.” 

The show would give members 

a chance to get some practice 

in before the Christchurch City 

Chorus heads to New Orleans 

for a performance in September. 

“We’re doing as many shows 

as we can so we are prepared,” 

she said. 

She said she hoped to showcase 

the group and encourage 

new members to join. 

“We’re looking for new 

members all the time. There’s 

always a turn over of membership 

because people move away 

or their lives change, so this is a 

chance for people who might be 

interested in joining to see what 

we do.” 

The Magic of Christmas will 

be performed on December 15, 

with a matinee at 2pm and an 

evening show at 7pm. 

Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 

for seniors and $10 for children, 

and can be purchased at www. 

ccchorus.co.nz or by contacting 

Jeannette McGrath on 021 976 

572. 


BABIES AND theatre are not 

usually two things that are put 

together. 

In fact, any parent who has 

taken a baby to a performance 

knows it can be challenging at 

best and a disaster at worst. 

Turning that whole idea on its 

head is Strowan’s Amy Straker, 

Burwood’s Melanie Luckman 

and Sumner’s Hannah Wheeler 

and. 

The trio will perform their 

show Up And Away, designed 

especially for pre-walking 

babies, in New Brighton and 

Phillipstown. 

The show will be staged 

through the newly-launched 

Cubbin Theatre Company. 

The company aims to develop 

genuine theatre for children 

under the age of five. 

Each performance will last 

about 30-40min with an opportunity 

for families to stay and 

play at the end. 

The show will also take place 

in a carefully crafted tent. 

“Our vision is of a world where 

high-quality art is as integral to 

early childhood as the 

playground, and as accessible,” 

Luckman said. 

She said it has been great 

working with the city council’s 

enliven places project fund for 

this tour. 

Luckman said with the funding’s 

help it can offer the show 

for $5 for a baby and adult 

together. 

The show is informed by 

neuroscientific research and has 

been developed in consultation 

with a speech and a language 

therapist through a series of 

rehearsal workshops with babies. 

Wheeler was working at LATT 

Children’s Theatre and living in 

South Korea when she saw her 

first baby theatre performance.

Rangi’s sporting success 


RANGI RURU Girls’ School 

has had a stellar week in sports, 

with successes in water polo and 

tennis. 

Rangi Ruru’s junior water polo 

team won the South Island Junior 

Secondary School Water Polo 

Championships. 

Rangi Ruru assistant director 

of sport Mandy Anderson said 

the team had an “incredible” 

game. 

“An outstanding effort by the 

team culminated in winning 

the final against St Margaret’s, 

11-9. A huge shout-out to our 

wonderful coach, Jackson Olds, 

for his dedication to and belief in 

the girls,” she said. 

“The team has trained exceptionally 

hard all term; training in 

the rain and in the early morning. 

They deserve the success 

their efforts have produced.” 

Ms Anderson added a special 

mention to year 9 student Agatha 

Weston for selection in the south 

island tournament team. 

She also congratulated year 10 

student Eve Weston for her selection 

as the most valuable player of 

the tournament. 

Out of the pool and onto the 

court, Rangi Ruru student Tessa 

McCann has retained her title as 

the Canterbury Open Women’s 

Champion. 

The year 12 student competed 

for the title last week. 

The final was a tight three set 

match which saw the 16-year-old 

win 7-5 in the third set, and hold 

on to her title as the Canterbury 

Open Women’s Champion for the 

second year in a row. 

Rangi Ruru tennis convenor 

Anne Bissland said both Tessa 

and Year 10 Jade Feneon, who 

also competed, did exceptionally 

well against strong competition. 

“We have to remember that 

these students are playing an 

open section, against much older 

competitors,” she said. 

“Both girls are playing very 

well, at a high level. We are proud 

of both girls who put absolutely 

everything into their tennis,” said 

Ms Bissland. 

CREATIVE: Citycare property supervisor Doug Peek is 

always on the look-out for items that can be recycled for the 

sensory garden at Rawhiti Domain. 

Playground gets 

new equipment 

OBSOLETE equipment from 

throughout the city is getting a 

new lease of life in the children’s 

playground at Rawhiti Doman. 

The sensory playground is 

designed to give all children, 

especially those with special 

needs, the opportunity to 

explore senses. 

The playground was the 

brainchild of SmileDial New 

Zealand founder Kelly Dugan. 

Mr Dugan, who has a sevenyear-old 

daughter with cerebral 

palsy, came up with the idea. 

Some of the large plastic 

traffic sheep that used to feature 

on inner city pavements have 

been put out to pasture in the 

sensory garden along with one 

of the New Brighton tiny huts. 

An avid supporter of the 

playground is Citycare property 

supervisor Doug Peek, who 

is always on the lookout for 

items that can be recycled at the 

playground rather than sent to 

landfill. 

When it was time to decide 

if the hut should stay or be 

dismantled, Mr Peek suggested 

it be added to the garden. 

“I always keep SmileDial and 

the kids in the back of my mind 

when out on the job . . . we are 

essentially turning trash into 

treasure,” Mr Peek said. 

SmileDial receives no 

Government funding, only 

community support. 

“Without the backing of 

organisations like Citycare 

we simply wouldn’t exist,” Mr 

Dugan said.

Shops bursting with 

festive gift ideas 

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the 

Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so. 

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as 

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at 

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops 

are bursting with festive merchandise. 

Every woman likes to receive body pampering 

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced 

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift 

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite 

and again there is a wide selection to choose from, 

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known 

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie, 

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor 

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on 

the list. 

The men are equally well catered for, from the 

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy 

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener 

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books, 

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a 

smile on their face on Christmas morning. 

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy 

than seeing the excitement of the children opening 

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa 

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly 

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy 

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling 

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from 

the smallest family members. 

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas 

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards 

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way 

to please.

Deck the halls 

Christmas isn’t Christmas without a decoration or two around the home. 

Whether its outdoor lights with a waving Santa or 

just draping tinsel across your mantelpiece, there are 

many ways to celebrate the festive season in your home. 

Go natural 

Driftwood painted white with LED lights wrapped 

around, or pine cones with a touch of silver spray 

paint, make beautiful natural additions to the home 

at this time of year. If you have a tree branch around 

the home, why not cut it up into discs and spray paint 

white stars and reindeer on the disc. Drill a hole in the 

top and thread some gardeners string through the hole 

and you have an instant decoration to hang on the tree 

or somewhere around the home. Cover polystyrene 

balls in ripped linen, hessian and cotton strips. These 

can either be hung up or a number placed in a bowl on 

the table. 

Tinsel town 

Many love the glitter and sparkle that tinsel brings 

but how about using it in different ways. A threetiered 

cake plate with tinsel laid on each plate with 

baubles then placed on top, can look really impressive 

as a centrepiece for the table. Make your own wreath 

by wrapping tinsel around and around a polystyrene 

circle. Hang just as it is, or hot glue gun baubles on to 

create extra wow. 

Table setting 

Sometimes the simplest decorations on the table 

can look the most stunning. A beautiful napkin rolled 

up with a piece of red and white ribbon, or rosemary 

wreath looks amazing. Why not place a hessian runner 

down the middle of the table and add greenery and 

candles in jars on top to create a wonderful centrepiece. 

If you have a children’s eating table, why not put a 

long piece of brown paper as a table cloth. Draw large 

circles where the plates can go and write Christmas 

questions beside each plate outline. A little bottle with 

a red and white paper straw is great too. Put a jar of 

red and green crayons on the table. When the kids are 

finished their dinner, they can play noughts and crosses 

or hangman or just draw pictures. 

If you’re looking for ideas why not check out 

Pintrest. Here you will find every style and every 

technique to make sure your home looks like a 

Christmas wonderland this festive season.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham 

sees clients with a range of symptoms but 

many of their middle-aged and senior 

clients visit complaining of pain in one or 

both hips. 

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests 

that a major part of the pain could be due 

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. 

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason 

for the pain may be the muscles around 

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a 

back muscle could also be the cause, as 

shown in the image. 

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year 

old client with severe arthritis who walked 

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in 

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight 

through my right leg due to pain in my hip 

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she 

was walking with her stick but without the 

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was 

one of the factors that made her muscles 

spasm but the other was that older people 

move less and the flexed position the hip 

is in when we sit is particularly bad for 

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could have 

been “given up on” or told to live with the 

pain, she made a difference to her health 

Hip muscle that causes hip pain 

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

and wellbeing. 

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques 

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation 

techniques) are used to release the muscles. 

The client also gets a home exercise 

program designed to mobilize and stretch 

the hip, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength and 

balance. They teach a movement sequence 

that stretches the hip in all directions 

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their 

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients. 

In many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to maintain 

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. 

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause, 

some maintenance therapy may be 

necessary, but that is often more affordable 

and, for older patients, better tolerated than 

surgery. In very few treatments the client 

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain 

will know if it is going to work for them or 

not, without financial commitment.

at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham.

Play, laugh, learn. These are the essential 

ingredients for a successful Pre-School 

education. These crucial early years are to be 

nurtured, shaped and cherished as your child 

takes their first steps in education. 

Research states that play may be the single 

most important things that humans do. “Our 

play based learning approach supports your 

child as they begin their exciting journey as a 

lifelong learner” says Principal Scott Thelning. 

Cathedral Grammar Pre-School teaches the 

children of tomorrow, today. 

At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your 

whole family is welcomed into the wider 

embrace of the Grammar community 

including whole school fun and functions, 

services and support as well as smooth 

transition to the Junior School and links to the 


Cathedral Grammar 

Pre-School located within 

the heart of the city 

Prep School. 

In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built 

Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers, your 

child will discover by curiosity, investigation 

and exploration. Our low child/teacher ratios, 

ensure your child’s quality individual and 

group learning. 

Every advantage is taken of our central 

city location to extend our ‘campus’ from the 

Botanic Gardens to the Canterbury Museum, 

The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o 

Waiwhetu to the Christchurch Transitional 

Cathedral, from Tūranga (Christchurch 

central library) to the emergency services. 

Being an inner city Pre-School also gives 

you a wonderfully easy opportunity to engage 

in your child’s learning if you are working in 

the CBD. 

Your child will develop essential 

foundations in literacy and numeracy. He 

or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised 

facilities, subjects and staff including Art, 

Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel. 

When children feel good about themselves 

and their abilities, they are able to take flight 

and explore, discover, take risks and play, 

laugh and learn effectively and successfully. 

“Self-esteem is at the core of this development 

process” Thelning says.

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board member Aaron 

Campbell talks about 

the need to improve 

accessibility for 

disabled people in the 

city 

LAST WEEK I asked the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community Board 

to request the city council supports in 

principle new Government disability 

legislation that makes access equitable for 

all persons. 

Your community board voted two in 

favour. Seven, shamefully, were against the 

motion. 

Disability comes in many forms. It’s not 

just physical; it’s sensory, cognitive, communicative 

and mental health-related. 

Community advocates, including the 

Access Alliance, a group of 12 organisations 

in the disability sector, overwhelmingly 

support the principle to create a truly 

accessible society that benefits everyone. 

Members include the Blind Foundation, 

CCS Disability Action, Cerebral Palsy 

Society and Deaf Aotearoa. 

New Zealand needs accessibility legislation 

to implement, in various sectors, 

minimum standards for access to everyday 

things others take for granted, like transport, 

public services, websites, buildings, 

workplaces and events. 

This is about universal human rights and 

the core principles of the United Nations 

Convention on the Rights of People with 

Disabilities. 

Led by MPs Poto Williams (Christchurch 

East, Labour) and Shane Reti 

(Whangarei, National), this initiative is 

achieving cross party support in central 

government. 

It’s argued that businesses can’t afford to 

comply. Advocates would argue how can 

you afford not to? 

One billion people in the world have 

some form of disability, don’t you want to 

increase your potential market? 

When I’m older and less able, I’ll still 

want to get around, eat out and do things. 

We should all have that opportunity for 

long term independence. 

The NZ Institute of Economic Research 

calculates accessibility legislation will save 

$3 billion over 10 years in disability benefit 

costs through better education and employment 

outcomes, increasing productivity 

by $862m and increasing tax revenues 

by $387m per year. 

This would annually increase GDP by 

$1.45 billion. 

New tourist markets will become available 

and revenue will increase with higher 

spending per visitor. 

As our city is rebuilding, do we want to 

grow our economy, improve the quality of 

people’s lives and provide equal access for 

all? 

Last week, sadly, a selfish short-sighted 

two to seven vote said no. 

Start 

it!

Children eat 

what they sow 

At Kimihia we are very lucky to have 

space for vege gardens. Our tamariki are 

involved in all aspects of the growing 

of vegetables and fruit. Whilst our 

strawberries are usually picked and 

eaten fresh, most of the vegetables we 

grow are used in the meals our Centre 

provides. Over the growing season our 

garden produced pumpkins, zucchini, 

beetroot, tomatoes, beans, basil, 

coriander, silverbeet, peas, broccoli, 

cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce. Giant 

sunflowers, nasturtiums and calendulas 

provided plenty of colour in the garden. 

Our children delighted in being able to 

harvest the vegetables thay had grown 

and take them to our food preparers. We 

have also saved seeds from some of last 

year’s veges to plant in the new season’s 

garden. 

The garden offers so many 

opportunities for learning; not only the 

connection between garden and plate, 

but also how to care for living things, 

how to work together and how to live 

sustainably and care for the earth.

villas now all sold thanks to the people of 

Canterbury. 

The latest hotel style accommodation 

includes a Restaurant, Bar, Billiard Room, 

Movie Theatre and Library. Just finished

“A lot of people are now choosing to 

move into retirement village life earlier 

because they recognise the benefits of the 

ease of living and it allows them greater 

freedom and more social interaction. Lady 

Wigram is a short walk from The Landing, 

the central retail hub of the Wigram Skies 

subdivision, and only a short drive to

right.” Says Lady Wigram Manager Olivia

Ultimate beauty oil? 

Are you looking for a beauty oil that 

contains a blend of some of the most 

effective oils available and that these oils are 

just 100% pure and natural with no fillers 

or cheap additives? 

Our new ULTIMATE BEAUTY OIL 

BLEND contains a perfect combination of 

three of the best natural healing and skin 

restoration oils available to give your skin 

what it needs! 

The first oil is the remarkable Organic 

Dilo. One of the best kept secrets of the 

Pacific Islands Dilo oil may however be the 

number one natural beauty oil available. 

According to ethnobotanist 

Chris Kilham, Dilo is a powerful 

skin regenerator, as it is one of 

the most effective agents in 

promoting the regeneration 

and formation of new skin 

tissue. It is super-absorbing and 

can penetrate all three layers of 

the skin, offering exceptional 

cell hydration and regeneration. 

Dilo contains powerful 

antibacterial, antioxidant and 

anti-inflammatory properties 

which promotes the growth of 

healthy and glowing skin. 

Organic Argan oil (or liquid 

gold) is the next amazing 

oil that is extremely rich in 

beneficial nutrients, fatty acids 

and vitamin E. It gives the 

skin a youthful glow restores 

elasticity and leaves the skin 

feeling plumper and softer. 

Wild Rosehip is the final powerful oil. It 

is known to hydrate the skin and correct 

skin damage over a period of time. It is well 

known to help with scars, stretch marks, 

age spots, skin pigmentation and reduce 

the signs of premature aging. 

The ULTIMATE BEAUTY OIL BLEND 

helps give your skin the nourishment 

and nutrition it may require to restore 

itself and keep it vibrant and flawless.

New research on Gingko 

Biloba excites researchers! 

For decades scientists believed brain 

damage with age, after a stroke or injury 

was irreversible and brain neurons could 

not be repaired. In more recent times, 

new research has shown that neurons 

can grow back with the right conditions 

and that a special extract of Gingko 

Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has 

been clinically found to assist in this. 

The implications for stroke recovery are 

obvious, but researchers also know many 

of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes” 

that over a period of time slowly 

reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN 

is prescribed worldwide as a natural 

supportive agent for a healthy brain and 

cognitive function. It supports healthy 

mental performance, concentration, focus, 

alertness, motor function and to help 

with many conditions including tinnitus 

(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo 

and normal balance. TEBONIN improves 

micro-circulation and helps the blood 

flow reach those critical places it needs to 

get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes 

the red blood cells more pliable and 

capillary walls more flexible. 

TEBONIN is one of the most widely 

studied and researched herbal products in 

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba 

extract manufactured via a patented 

multi-step extraction process. Each small 

tablet contains a highly concentrated 

BOOST BRAIN 

PERFORMANCE UP TO 30% 

TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets 

being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60 

controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent 

efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30 

years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance. 

Studies on TEBONIN Show: 

- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement 

in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall. 

- Reduces errors made & mental stress. 

- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore 

brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke. 

- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal 

balance. 

- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body. 

- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels. 

- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light. 

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic 

clinical dose without having to take a large 

amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba 

products on the market, and tested by a 

major medical journal, only TEBONIN 

passed all five of the test requirements. 

Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements 

and the rest didn’t pass more than three 

out of five requirements. TEBONIN is 

the only Gingko biloba extract shown 

to activated all areas of the brain and is 

considered the gold standard in Gingko. 

TEBONIN has been trusted by millions 

of consumers worldwide for over 30 

years with more than 8,000,000 tablets 

consumed each day.

REAL ESTATE 

A pleasant surprise - “As Is, Where Is” 

214B Mt Pleasant Rd, Mt Pleasant 

Auction: From 12pm, Thursday 13 December, Harcourts Grenadier, 98 Moorhouse Ave – unless sold prior 

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number: SM0133 

Serving as an immaculate example of an as 

is, where is property, this partially repaired 

four-bedroom home enjoys exceptional 

north-facing views over the sea and coastline 

offering the ultimate hillside lifestyle. 

With remediation three-quarters complete, 

the vendors have now exceeded their cap and 

don’t wish to proceed any further with the 

remaining repairs, and therefore, they offer 

this superbly presented home to a new buyer 

who can live incredibly comfortably while 

they finish the last of the work required in 

their own time. 

The property’s cladding has been repaired 

and a new kitchen installed. The kitchen 

exudes modern style with its granite 

benchtops and breakfast bar, all benefiting 

from an elevated outlook over the sea that 

stretches across to Ferrymead. 

The multi-level living layout includes a 

breath-taking lounge on the central portion of 

the first floor which features a double height 

ceiling that contributes a sense of grandeur to 

the space. From there, a small set of steps lead 

you up to the kitchen and open plan dining 

and living area where you can admire the 

unobstructed views beyond. Lots of balconies 

and decks provide outdoor flow and there is 

some good flat lawn for children to play. 

Four good sized bedrooms are serviced by 

three bathrooms and a powder room, with the 

master bedroom having a walk-in wardrobe 

and an ensuite with a spa bath. One bedroom 

has a kitchenette and could be used to hosts 

guest or run Airbnb. There’s great level drive 

on access with turning and internal access 

triple car garaging which are further enticing 

features of the property. 

Located within easy reach of the various 

coastal suburbs that lead you around to 

Sumner Beach, this property also enjoys a 

relatively straight-forward commute into the 

city centre which will take you less than 20 

minutes by car. Zoned and within walking 

distance to Mt Pleasant School (decile 10). 

Being sold on an as is, where is basis, this 

property offers comfort and presents buyers 

with the opportunity to complete the home 

to their taste. Possibly the best we have 

marketed! 

Open Homes: Wednesday, Saturday & 

Sunday 3:15pm - 4:00pm. 

See you at the open homes or for a private 

viewing or for more information contact

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.” 

New bid to fix potholes

• By Sophie Cornish and Julia Evans 

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

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

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile 

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

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
