front line
policing
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
MORE POLICE may be seen on
the streets of the eastern suburbs.
Police chiefs are considering assigning
more officers who will be
based at the New Brighton station.
Canterbury Metro Area Commander
superintendent Lane Todd
said front line staff in the east
maybe boosted with the increasing
numbers of recruits the Canterbury
region will be allocated over
the next three years.
“We do have some of our
response staff based out in New
Brighton. We are looking at increasing
there but Hornby might
also be another option,” he said.
Superintendent Todd said the
deployment of police officers will
be part of its wider planning for
the city, which will be looked at
next year.
The additional staff would come
from the 1800 allocation of police
officers the country is planned to
get in the next three years as part
of the Government’s $298 million
increase from the Budget 2018.
Canterbury will receive 121 of
the 1800 police officers.

I CAN sympathise with Tim Sintes, who
has been struck down with pneumonia
(page 7).
The all-round good guy from Southshore
has been laid very low in recent weeks.
I know exactly how he is feeling.
Pneumonia smashed me about 18 months ago. I don’t smoke and
I’m reasonably fit. And like Tim, I’ve no idea how I got it.
I lost 9kg in just over a week, spent four days in hospital and
was off work for three weeks (the longest time I have ever been).
The doctor initially said I had a dose of the flu and I was sent
on my way. A week later when I struggled back to the doctor, she
dispatched me to hospital.
Be careful out there.

Drivers face Xmas crackdown
RESERVE
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A ROAD safety initiative has
been launched to crack down
on drivers in the east as the
Christmas party season begins
to get under way.
Police based at the New
Brighton station will be setting
up major checkpoints to clamp
down on “fatal five” driving
offences.
The “fatal five” offences are
using a mobile phone while
driving, dangerous manoeuvres,
not wearing a seat belt, drink
driving and speeding.
Sergeant Jim Currie said office
break-ups and “tradie day” are
coming up which is always a
“major concern” for police.
“It is a big worry for us because
people don’t know their
limits and get behind the wheel
of a car when they shouldn’t. My
philosophy is if you think you
are over the limit you probably
are,” he said.
Last week police conducted
a checkpoint on Avondale Rd
between Breezes Rd and New
Brighton Rd.
In the 45 minutes police were
there, they issued two speeding
tickets for vehicles driving about
15km/h over the 50km/h speed
limit.

Warrior
by Simon Mannering
Simon Mannering is one of elite sport’s great enigmas. From
2005 to 2018 he was a regular fixture in the Warriors and
Kiwis rugby league teams and has captained both. He is one
of only a handful of players to have played 300 NRL games
for one club and, remarkably, he’s the only one who has ever
done it flying back and forth across the Tasman every second
weekend. Yet little is known about him as he shuns the spotlight
and seldom does interviews.
Warriors and former All Blacks doctor John Mayhew rates
Simon alongside Richie McCaw and Buck Shelford for sheer
toughness and his ability to play through pain and illness is
legendary.
While the Warriors have been up and down over the years,
Simon Mannering has maintained a consistently high standard
of play and regularly led tackle counts.
Yet he was not a sporting prodigy. In Warrior, Simon explains
how he transformed himself from a sports-mad kid with
mediocre talents into one of the greats of New Zealand sport.

A Diamond in the Dust
by Frauke Bolten-Boshammer
The powerful true story of how one woman turned outback dust
into a diamond empire.
Within minutes of landing in Kununurra, Frauke Bolten had made
up her mind to get on a plane back home to Germany. The dusty
frontier town was no place for a woman. However, Frauke stayed,
determined to help her husband carve out a new life farming.
Tragedy struck just three years later when Friedrich took his own
life and she was left to raise their family alone.
Twenty-six years after she sold her first necklace, Kimberley Fine
Diamonds in Kununurra is now home to one of the world’s largest
collections of Argyle pink diamonds, with a client list that includes
Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Frauke is credited for not only
pioneering an industry, but for putting the tiny outback town and its
precious diamonds on the map.
A Diamond in the Dust is a tale of love and loss, hardship and
heartache, but ultimately the inspiring story of how a young girl
from Germany overcame tragedy to pioneer a diamond empire in
one of the most unforgiving terrains on earth.
The Rescuers
by Laura Greaves
Dogs are renowned for their loyalty, and those saved from
animal shelters or rescue groups seem to be especially
devoted to the humans who have offered them a second
chance. In this extraordinary collection, meet the brave
dogs that have shown incredible courage – even risking
death – to protect their people.
There’s Leala, the Staffy who raced for help when her
two-year-old owner fell in a dam; Buddy, the labrador who
licked his owner awake to save her from a house fire; and
Brian, the pit bull who valiantly fought off three other dogs
to protect his owner.
From unforgettable moments of courage to heart-warming
tales of true loyalty, these are the stories of some of the
most heroic rescue dogs in the world.

Sewer repair key to building consents
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
BUILDING CONSENTS in
Aranui, put on hold because of
capacity issues with the suburb’s
sewerage system, will likely
be granted when the system is
upgraded.
Aranui residents who have
failed to fix their earthquakedamaged
wastewater pipes has
led to the city council having
to upgrade the suburb’s entire
sewerage system.
The unrepaired earthquake
damage to the private wastewater
or stormwater pipes has
resulted in the system having to
cope with increased stormwater
flow and groundwater infiltration
– more than what it was
designed for.
As a result, 10 building
consents in the Aranui vacuum
sewerage system catchment has
been put on hold.
Two projects expecting to cost
more than $2.1 million is under
way by the city council to address
ongoing capacity issues.
The projects are expected to be
completed before Christmas.
City council’s three waters and
waste head John Mackie said it
is not accepting any new building
consents until the work is
completed.
“We will decide whether to accept
any new connections once
we have assessed the effectiveness
of this upgrade,” he said.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board member Tim Baker said
he is pleading with residents to
fix their lateral pipes because
he doesn’t think they realise the
effect it is having.
He said he understands the
decision but he thinks the city
council is wrong because 10 consents
are such a small number.
The city council’s first project
is to install a monitoring system
for each of the sewer system’s
collection chambers. Each collection
chamber connects to
about four to six houses.
The project costing about
$1.5 million, will allow the city
council to identify which collection
chambers suffer from high
stormwater inflow and groundwater
infiltration.
The city council will then
carry out further investigations
to work out if the problem is
a result of Aranui’s private or
public wastewater system.

A mighty
big clanger
THERE ARE clangers, and there
are clangers.
Last week, there was a
monumental clanger in Pegasus
Post.
And we have been bearing the
brunt of that clanger since – and
deservedly so.
In our 28-page advertising
supplement Life Is Great In The
East there was an article on the
yet-to-be-built beach front pool
facility and hot water pools.
The problem was the article
said the pool facility was operating,
gave its operating hours and
encouraged people to go along for
a swim.
But the queues are still a long
way off. It will take about 12
months to build once building
consent is granted.
So how did this error happen?
Let’s not go there.
But it would be fair to say
the writer has felt what it’s
like to be in hot water, but
here at the Pegasus Post we feel
there’s no point rubbing salt into
the wound, so we have left it at
that.
Yes, life in the east is great; and
it will be even better when the hot
water pools open.
We’ll keep you posted.

But Superintendent Todd said
it has to look across the whole
city at where the best slots are for
where increased numbers can go.
The possibility of more staff has
been welcomed by New
Brighton Sergeant Jim
Currie.
He is calling for more
public safety team (frontline)
staff to be placed out
in New Brighton in the
next six to 12 months.
“I think New Brighton
is a place worth investing
in . . . I see a lot of
potential out in New
Brighton and the more
staff we can get out here to make
it safer for everybody the better,”
he said.
Sergeant Currie said New
Brighton has always been steady
as a crime location and he thinks
having more staff would be an
“extra deterrence”.
The call for more staff has been
backed by Bin Inn New Brighton
owner Nikki Griffin.
“The community has long since
wanted it . . . the businesses want
the frontline staff walking the beat
. . . finally someone has listened to
what the people want,” she said.

‘Facelift’ for New Brighton’s clock tower
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
NEW BRIGHTON’S iconic clock
tower will be illuminated with
Christmas decorations.
But an unknown craftsman
has already got in on the action,
cutting a smiley face out of the
plastic packaging currently
wrapped around the clock tower
while it is under repair.
It comes as progress is
under way on the clock tower’s
earthquake and historical repairs.
The clock tower’s “facelift”
has received a positive response
from members of the Peoples
Independent Republic of New
Brighton.
Comments include “that sort
of graffiti is welcome”, “looks like
it is waving” and “that is so cute,
makes you smile back”.
Additional decorations are
planned to brighten the clock
tower with the Coastal-Burwood
Community Board approving
$500 towards the project at its
meeting last week.
The funding is from its
2018/19 Discretionary Response
Fund.
City councillor David East said,
hopefully, the decorations will
be installed fairly soon, before
Christmas.
“We are going to leave the
plastic there and put a bow
around it so it looks like a big
Christmas present and light it up
internally,” he said.
The city council has finished the
repair strategy for the clock tower
and it is preparing the necessary
documentation ahead of going
out to tender.
City council’s acting head of
parks Grant MacLeod said it will
not have information on when
the clock tower repairs will be
completed until the tenders have
been received.
The repairs were due to
be completed in September
but following investigations
(including the removal of paint
from the structure) the extent
of the damage became more
apparent.

‘Knocked for six’ with pneumonia
Fire rages, homes at risk
Coastal-Burwood
Community Board
deputy chairman Tim
Sintes has been in
hospital with pneumonia.
Julia Evans reports
TIM SINTES has been in
bed living off a diet of english
breakfast tea and Kurols cough
drops for the past five weeks.
It’s a big change for the 67-yearold
former fisherman, who can
normally be
found surfing,
gardening or
tinkering in
his shed.
But Mr
Sintes, who
is deputy
Tim Sintes
chairman of
the Coastal-
Burwood
Community Board, has been
“knocked for six” by a severe case
of pneumonia.
It’s landed him in hospital
twice.
“The day before it happened,
I was riding my mountain bike
over Rapaki with my daughter.
The next day, I woke up and I
thought I just had hay fever, I
had a blocked nose and that was
about it,” Mr Sintes said.
He started to shake and shiver
– the next morning he went to
the doctor.
“One listen to the croak in
my chest and he said ‘you’ve got
quite severe pneumonia’. I went
straight to get an X-ray and then
I was admitted to hospital.”
It went downhill from there.
“I just kept getting worse.
At first we thought it was
legionnaires’, I’d just redone the
lawns.”
Every year Mr Sintes’ hosts
a community Christmas
celebration at his Southshore
home and was relaying the lawn
for the occasion.
“But I’d been wearing a mask
when I was doing the lawn . . .
they worked out it was a bacterial
infection that caused the

pneumonia, but nobody knows
how I got it.”
Mr Sintes said he knew nothing
about pneumonia before, but now
he is an expert.
“I did not realise the
seriousness of it. When people
would say to me they’ve got
pneumonia, I would think it was
just a bit like having the flu,” he
said.
There were moments he
thought he would never breathe
again when his lungs felt like
they were compressing in on
themselves.
“I was on oxygen in a severe
state for three days. I couldn’t
breathe and the bed was
wringing wet from me sweating
so much. One night I had the
most intense hallucinations.
They were in 3D colour. It was
horrible,” he said.
“You feel very vulnerable.
Usually I’m too busy to be sick.”
He was discharged from
hospital and felt like he was on
the mend.
“I felt better and I thought,

wow, I can do all these things.
Since I didn’t feel too bad, I
thought good, it was all over,” he
said.
Soon he was back in the surf,
mowing the lawns and just about
at the end of his first course of
antibiotics.
“There were about three or
four days where I couldn’t quite
believe it, I felt alive again.
One day I mowed the lawns, the
next day I was out for a coffee in
Sumner and I started feeling not
too good again,” Mr Sintes said.
His wife Jan suggested he go to
hospital.“The aches and shakes
were back and I thought, ‘no, I
don’t want to go to hospital’. But
I had to tell my wife to ring the
ambulance.”
He ended up spending another
six days in hospital.
Mr Sintes was discharged from
hospital for the second time 10
days ago.
The pneumonia had spread to
his other lung. “That taught me
a lesson. Listen to your doctor
when they say you need to rest. I
didn’t think it was much, I didn’t
think of the consequences and
now I’ve been sick for five weeks.”
After losing 8kg, Mr Sintes
believes he may be on the road to
recovery and has been getting his
appetite back.
“I’m so cautious now. I don’t
want to go backwards again.”
Although most people are
lamenting the cold start to
summer, Mr Sintes said it has
been great.
“It would be torture if I had
to lie here and it was sunny. I
enjoy life so much. Believe me,
this weather has been bad for
everyone except me.”
Six weeks ago, Mr Sintes
had an accident with a
chainsaw and cut his leg. Two
weeks later he was back out
surfing. “It’s hard to believe you
can be right two weeks after
being cut by a chainsaw, but
you can be knocked for six by
something like this.”
But the cause of his pneumonia
remains a mystery.
“It’s the strangest feeling.
I’m the kind of person that
needs explanations and needs a
reason, but this time it could be
anything,” he said.
Mr Sintes said people had
asked if it was related to stress
from his city council work and
the code of conduct investigation
he and Coastal Ward city
councillor David East, Coastal-
Burwood Community Board
chairwoman Kim Money and
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member
Darrell Latham are facing over
their comments alleging city
council staff tampered with the
District Plan, which affected
property owners in flood prone
areas.
“I can easily say it’s not. I’m not
a stress kind of person. My way
of relaxing is being busy, that’s
different.” Raising the issue has
been a “weight off my shoulders,”
he said.

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
HAMPSHIRE ST has always
had a reputation as being one of
the city’s meanest streets in one
of its meanest suburbs.
But the main drag that dissects
Aranui is now full of colour as
part of an ongoing campaign
by the Aranui neighbourhood
policing team to brighten up the
area.
Murals have been placed on
the shop walls in Hampshire
St this week, courtesy of street
artists and students from Haeata
Community Campus.
A key piece of artwork, which
reflects Aranui’s character
and past, is by Te Kupenga o
Aranui youth worker and mentor,
Silivelio Fasi.
Fasi, 28, spent a lot of his
childhood being raised in the
area.
“I felt like I was adopted,
they took me in when I could
have easily been hanging out in
Woolston and Phillipstown,” he
said.
Fasi said when he was thinking
about concepts and ideas
for his artwork he took into
consideration what he felt made
up Aranui.
Words Fasi strongly believed
in, such as “hope, whanau, love
and unity” and well-known places
that pay homage to Aranui’s
past, became the background of
the artwork.
The main element of the
artwork is superheroes in motion,
which represents power
and positivity and shows the
suburb is moving forward postearthquake.
Aranui High School and old
bus stops – the No 5 Southshore
bus route which no longer exists
because of the earthquakes – are
items Fasi built into his picture.
“It is basically one of those
things, only if you are from
Aranui, you would look at that
number and go, oh, my gosh,
that is the bus . . . the cool thing
about it is every community has
something like that,” he said.
Anchor points in Aranui such
as Big Gary’s Fish & Chips and
Peter’s Fish & Chips, also feature
in the art.
“It was almost like a shout out
to say, hey, I noticed you in my
childhood and that was always
the hang out spot. It was basically
a thank you,” Fasi said.
Constable Jules Atkinson said
the idea behind the murals was
to bring colour and “good vibes”
to the area.

She said some of the murals
had up to 50 students paint them

creating murals.
The artwork was displayed
at a culture night at Haeata

and showcased at the Justice and

Christmas wishes
from the team at Harcourts Gold
Parklands and New Brighton
The team at Harcourts
Gold Parklands and New
Brighton would like to
take this opportunity to
wish you all a very happy
and safe Christmas.
Nikila Creagh
HARCOURTS GOLD EASTSIDE SALES MANAGER
Tis the season... As 2018 comes to a close I, like so many
others, tend to reflect on what we have managed to accomplish
throughout the past year. I also look forward to that New Year
clean slate, and what 2019 might hold for us moving forward.
Again, it has been a year of positive change and
challenges for our team at both the Parklands
and New Brighton offices. The property market
has proven stable, requiring our hard working
consultants to utilise and gain more knowledge in
and around a wide variety of property, and to think
outside the square in regards to marketing options
that are available to our clients.
Further development locally has meant that our
community is starting to thrive once again, and it is
so satisfying and exciting to see numerous lengthy
projects coming to fruition which will so benefit our
community and the people that live here. I don’t
believe we would be this advanced if it weren’t for
the passionate locals who love their neighbourhood,
have provided a voice for the east side, and made
things happen.
It has been such a pleasure to be able to give back
to a variety of community groups this past year by
way of volunteering time, goods, or financially via our
Harcourts Foundation Grants. Should you be involved
with a not for profit group that could do with some
assistance, please feel free to contact us in 2019.
Should you be looking to make a career change
in the New Year, it may be of interest to know that
we will be seeking new additions to join our award
winning team. Whether you are an established
consultant, or if you are a self-starter who likes
a challenge, with an interest in property and
people, give me a call for a confidential chat.
Nikila ph. 0275175645.
Despite our offices being closed briefly over the
holiday period, our consultants will be available
and happy to assist during this time.
Contact our after-hours service and we will
put you in touch with one of the team.
We wish you and your family all the
very best for a safe, happy Christmas
and New Year and look forward to
helping you achieve your property
goals in 2019. A tremendous
thank-you to all those who have
sold, bought and/or referred
us to friends and colleagues
throughout the current year.
Merry Christmas!

Rawhiti School’s twilight fair a success
MORE THAN $20,000 has
been raised to go towards a new
playground at Rawhiti School.
The school held a successful
twilight fair, with about 2000 attending
the event.
The funds raised will go
towards a 7.8m climbing frame,
which is expected to be installed
before the beginning of the new
school term next year.
The school’s Parent-Teacher
Association co-chairwoman
Steph Haskell said the fair
was “really great” and it had
lots of support from local businesses.
“I think some of the best
things about the fair that I
really love the most was all the
entertainment . . . we have got
lots of musical students at the
school,” she said.
Pupils put on performances
involving rock bands, dancing,
school choir, kapa haka, ukuleles
and its Pasifika group.
“They provided over four hours
of entertainment and the school
has a wee outdoor amphitheatre
fixed up this year. We hadn’t really
had a massive chance to use
it,” Ms Haskell said.
The event was sponsored by
businesses including McCain,
Hellers, Ray White New Brighton,
Mike Pero, Harcourts Gold
Parklands and Happy Hire.
Ms Haskell said due to the
generosity of so many businesses,
it meant activities at the fair cost
no more than $2.
There was a range of activities
including pony rides, obstacle
courses and “dunk a teacher.”
Arts and crafts, toiletries and
jewellery made by the pupils were
also sold along with vegetables
grown at the school were
harvested and sold within 15min.

Richmond’s way forward is in sight

Tanya
Didham
writes
about how
Otakaro Avon River Corridor
draft regeneration plan will
impact Richmond
AVEBURY House has
experienced several
transformations since its origins
in the 1850s – a doctor’s cottage,
a grand family home, a youth
hostel, a quake victim and
now, heading into 2019, a fullyrefurbished
community asset.
Richmond has weathered more
than its fair share of transformation
too, but as we approach eight
years since a kink in the earth’s
surface changed everything, we
are beginning to see the way forward
– the next transformation.
Bordering the red zone as we
do, whatever happens in that
quake-affected river corridor is
going to have a big impact on us,
and our communities.
The waiting-to-know is almost
over.
Regenerate Christchurch has
released its draft plan, and it feels
GRAND: Avebury House has been transformed, it is now a fully-refurbished community asset.
like they have listened to what so
many of us have been saying –
restore the health of the river.
Move forward by respecting
our past heritage – not just our
built heritage, but our cultural
and natural heritage too.
In 1851 Dr Samuel Grundy
bought the section Avebury now
stands on, and built a modest
house, naming it after his hometown
in England.
At that time the South
Island was still referred to
as New Munster; the entire European
population of New Zealand
was just under 27,000 (Maori
numbered around 56,000) and
the Otakaro-Avon got its first
footbridge, crossing the river
where Worcester St does now.
Already by then a huge amount
of native bush had been cleared,
but Canterbury long-tailed bats
were still thriving, native bush
still lined the waterways, and tui
were an ever-present songbird.
Here at Avebury, we’re excited
to see the river walkways and
cycleways open up; for native
planting to start filling the gaps
and cracks that still remind us
of what’s gone while bringing
back a little of what was lost long
before.
And for projects that bring
people and activity back to our
community.
Let Regenerate Christchurch
know (before the consultation
closes on December 19) that you
like where they’re going with this
because here in Richmond, we’re
ready for a green and vibrant
future.

College plans farewell
KINDNESS: Twelve Marian College students put on a
Christmas party for visitors from Age Concern Canterbury.
Marian students spread
some Christmas cheer
A YOUNG Vinnies Group
from Marian College has helped
spread some Christmas cheer to
the elderly.
Twelve students hosted a
Christmas party for eight
visitors from Age Concern
Canterbury recently.
It aimed to help bring joy to
people who may be alone at
Christmas.
Year 10 student Amy
Williamson said the party went
well and it was nice to see the joy
in people’s faces as they bonded
with each other.
The Young Vinnies Group
was established to support the St
Vincent de Paul Society’s work
to help people in need.
The students have also hosted
morning tea events for elderly
visitors and run campaigns to
collect food cans for the society.
Said year 9 student Anna
McKey: “It was nice knowing
we could organise something
that we knew would be helping
others and contributing to wider
society.”
LINWOOD COLLEGE is
planning a special farewell
celebration to mark the
demolition and replacement
of its school buildings on the
current site.
The celebration is planned for
April 5-6 and will mark the start
of a new chapter in the school’s
history.
The celebration committee is
made up of past students and
teachers from the college.
Committee
chairwoman
and former
student Linda

said she is
“tremendously
excited” by
the prospect
Richard
Edmundson
of bringing
everyone
back together
to celebrate Linwood’s
achievements.
Principal Richard Edmundson
said it is exciting to have an
opportunity to be part of the
next step in the school’s vibrant
history.
The celebration will start
with a ticketed social gathering
on Friday night and finish
on Saturday with a closing
ceremony.
The school buildings will be
open on the Saturday for people
to look through one last time
and reminisce about the time
they spent at the school. There

WITH MARY IN FAITH
TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA
MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
This year has been particularly special in that so many of our past students and staff
have responded to our call to join a new group. Named Rauru, the group has been
formed to strengthen and support our Marian College community. Past students and
staff of Marian College, St Mary’s College (Christchurch) and McKillop College, are
warmly invited to register for Rauru and help us shape the future of Marian.
Collective dialogue and strategic visioning are underway as we prepare for a new
school. Work includes development of a brief to ensure our Special Catholic Character,
values and culture are captured and reflected in our new school.
We appreciate Marian College is part of the bigger picture and we support the Bishop
in taking due care of process and in making informed decisions for the benefit of the
Catholic Diocese of Christchurch as a whole. The old saying is true – good things
take time.
Thank you to our Board of Trustees, our school staff and community, and members of
the Marian Foundation for your support and fantastic work throughout 2018.
To our Marian girls – relax and enjoy a well-earned holiday. We look forward to
having you back refreshed, inspired and ready for 2019 at Marian College.
And finally, congratulations to our 2018 Marian leavers:
we wish you all the very best and please stay in touch.
Wishing you good health and blessings this Christmas.
Jan Paterson
Marian College Board of Trustees
THE GIFT OF GIVING
Our Young Vinnies Group helps support the important work of the
Society of St Vincent de Paul. Recently the group spent a lunchtime
wrapping Christmas presents for the Vinnie’s Christmas Party for
people in need.
Marian College has a long tradition of service. Both students and staff
members are actively involved and contribute positively to the wider
community. All students complete at least six hours of meaningful
service within the school and community every year.
PRIZE WINNERS
WHIRLWIND
WOW TRIP
Congratulations to Catherine Ryan (right)
and Louise Daly (left) who have been
awarded 2018 Marian College dux and
proxime accessit respectively.
Marian College Principal Mary-Lou
Davidson says major prize winners
demonstrate exceptional performance
and dedication across all aspects of life
at Marian College – in academia, special
character, leadership, music, sport,
environment, culture and service.
The Marian College PTA Grace Awards
are very special awards for senior students
who quietly go about their learning, being
kind and caring, participating in school
life and sometimes managing through
challenges. These students often go ‘under
the radar’ and as the award criteria says
– they just get on with school and are not
always officially recognised. This year
Grace Awards were presented to Mia
Blyth, Renee Rae, Zoe Frame, Molly Ford
and Hannah Manalaysay.
A full list of prize recipients and
photographs are on the College website.
IT’S
BUSINESS TIME!
Recently, Year 10 Marian College
students had the opportunity to pitch
their business ideas to a panel of judges
as part of the three-day Young Enterprise
BP Business Challenge programme.
The hands-on learning event creates
opportunities for students to develop
their skills, engage with local business
people and learn how a good business
works. The programme covers learning
in English, Mathematics and Statistics,
Social Sciences, Digital Technology and
Commerce subjects.
Described by some as the highlight
of the year, senior students studying
textiles at Marian College have the
opportunity to travel to Wellington for a
two-day whirlwind WOWtrip. The group
experienced the World of WearableArt
Awards Show, explored two tertiary
institutes offering textile and design
programmes and visited the Beehive.
“The show was incredible with amazing
outfits and dancers. This was a wonderful
way to end the term,” says Year 12 Marian
College student Phoebe O’Regan.
The group also attended the Suffrage 125
exhibition Whakatū Wāhine at Museum of
New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

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 sments 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 themselves some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-Innes
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
planned 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 of funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stand down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jones 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 annual
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 are 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 apartments suffered 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

It was the firs time Mr Garth

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

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 this stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes to own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting more experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the

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

Mark A pleton and member

their horses Tommy and Kruze

The presentation is a prelude

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

the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type

AN U PER Ri carton butcher

Elite Meats owner Corey

Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher

He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this

was intense as the team

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.

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.”

Signatures are being co lected

was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,

The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stan down, citing it as her “die

Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from

role.
“One of the roles of a community

• 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.”

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
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en
September-May along with a Thai
f od truck.

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
o pose the pla ned qua ry near
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.
