RSA vice-president Bernie<br />
Godden said the descendants<br />
could get in touch with the RSA<br />

The crosses were made by RSA<br />
members for Armistice Day as<br />
part of a nationwide initiative to<br />

views over<br />
Kyle Park<br />
decision<br />
for mega<br />
centre<br />
KYLE PARK is the new preferred<br />
location for the Hornby mega<br />
centre but the community<br />
remains split over the decision.<br />
The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board last week<br />
recommended to the city council<br />
that Kyle Park should be home<br />
to the $35.7 million customer<br />
services, library, recreation and<br />
leisure centre.<br />
The community<br />
board<br />
was split over<br />
the decision,<br />
with the recommendation<br />
narrowly passing<br />
by five votes<br />
to four.<br />
Board member<br />
Vicki Buck<br />
and city councillor Vicki Buck<br />
said because only one vote separated<br />
the decision, it was more<br />
open to challenge.<br />
“Kyle Park was not my first<br />
choice, but it is the next best<br />
choice.”<br />
Cr Buck originally favoured<br />
Denton Park, which was ruled<br />
out earlier this year.<br />

I CAN sympathise with Tim Sintes, who<br />
has been struck down with pneumonia<br />
(pages 10 and 12).<br />
The all-round good guy from Southshore<br />
has been laid very low in recent weeks.<br />
I know exactly how he is feeling. Pneumonia smashed me<br />
about 18 months ago. I don’t smoke and I’m reasonably fit. And<br />
like Tim, I’ve no idea how I got it.<br />
I lost 9kg in just over a week, spent four days in hospital and<br />
was off work for three weeks (the longest time I have ever been).<br />
The doctor initially said I had a dose of the flu and I was sent<br />
on my way. A week later when I struggled back to the doctor, she<br />
dispatched me to hospital.<br />
Be careful out there.<br />

Motel loses fight against skate park<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
A SUMNER motel owner’s bid<br />
to stop a skate park from being<br />
constructed across the road has<br />
failed.<br />
The Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
approved 26 Nayland St as the<br />
location for the Bays Area skate<br />
park.<br />
Sumner Bay Motel owner<br />
Roger Evans expressed his<br />
concerns throughout his<br />
deputation to the board that the<br />
skate park would disturb his<br />
customers.<br />
“I’m not against a skate park<br />
but I think the Nayland St site<br />
is going to affect my business<br />
because of the acoustics.”<br />
Mr Evans also said the<br />
Nayland St site was not the “best<br />
value for money for ratepayers.”<br />
The skate park on Nayland St<br />
would be smaller than it would<br />
have been on other sites due to<br />
a considerable portion of the<br />
money being allocated towards<br />
rockfall mitigation.<br />
The motion to approve the<br />
Nayland St site as the location<br />
for the skate park was carried<br />
unanimously by the board.<br />
However, some of the members<br />
still had their concerns about<br />
the site. Community board<br />
member and city councillor Yani<br />
Johanson “reluctantly” supported<br />
the decision. “This has been an<br />
issue that has gone on for a very<br />
long time. I’m just disappointed<br />
it’s going to be a small skate park<br />
and half the money is going<br />
towards rockfall mitigation.”<br />
Cr Johanson said it was vital<br />
the design of the park catered for<br />
local businesses in the area.<br />
“We really need to get a good<br />
grasp of noise issues and how<br />
through the design those things<br />
can be mitigated and if it comes<br />
down to it and it’s not possible<br />
then we may need to look for<br />
somewhere else.”<br />
The board has the option to<br />
change the location of the skate<br />
park if it is not satisfied with the<br />
design. However, if the design<br />
is confirmed by the board next<br />
year, construction of the park is<br />
set to start in spring 2020.<br />

NEW ROAD NAMES<br />
New road names have been<br />
touted for two subdivisions.<br />
Eight roads under consideration<br />
are from the Copper Ridge<br />
subdivision in Halswell. Three<br />
roads at the Buchanans Rd<br />
subdivision in Yaldhurst are also<br />
under consideration. A decision<br />
will be made by the Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />
Board today.<br />
FUNDING REQUEST<br />
Halswell horse rider Amy<br />
Batchelor has applied for funding<br />
to travel to the 2019 Special<br />
Olympics World Summer Games<br />

Emirates. Batchelor, 26, has<br />
Global Development Dyspraxia,<br />
which is a neurological disorder.<br />
The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board will vote<br />
tonight to grant her $500.<br />
PAINT REQUEST FOR HALL<br />
Money could be granted to<br />

The Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
received a city council staff<br />
recommendation to grant the<br />

Community behind Redcliffs School<br />
Redcliffs<br />
School<br />
principal<br />
Rose<br />
McInerney<br />
talks about<br />
how the<br />
community<br />
has helped<br />
the school get ready to<br />
move into its new home<br />
WHAT A strong and resilient<br />
community we have here in<br />
Redcliffs.<br />
We are just short of one year<br />
away from moving into our<br />
brand new school, which has<br />
only been made possible by the<br />
strength of this community.<br />
Has fighting against closure,<br />
navigating land swaps,<br />
and watching demolition got<br />
our children and families down?<br />
Quite the opposite.<br />
We have just completed one<br />
of the biggest and most exciting<br />
school fairs in the city.<br />
Our fair is so important to<br />
us – not only is it our main<br />
fundraiser, bringing in funds<br />
for the resources we need in<br />
the coming months, but it puts<br />
smiles on our children’s faces.<br />
Our school fair involves<br />
enormous commitment from<br />
many – from the staff team<br />
MEETING: A Redcliffs School pupil is welcomed by Minister of<br />
Justice Andrew Little before the school’s presentation to the<br />
Labour caucus.<br />
leaders to the people who bake<br />
cakes, donate goods and give<br />
their time before, during and<br />
after the fair.<br />
It’s exciting to think that in<br />
the coming year, we will be able<br />
to use some of these fair funds<br />
raised to enhance the playscapes<br />
at our new school.<br />
We’ve had a long road and it’s<br />
hard to believe that our year 8<br />
children were five when the June<br />
earthquake sent us from our<br />
school to our temporary location<br />
in Sumner.<br />
Our senior children shared<br />
their Redcliffs School journey<br />
in a presentation with Jacinda<br />
Ardern and the Labour caucus<br />
when they were invited to<br />
visit Parliament recently.<br />
Our children talked of their<br />
experiences in the earthquake<br />
and their home away from home<br />
at Sumner and Van Asch.<br />
They talked of determination,<br />
love of their school and the<br />
resilience and perseverance they<br />
have learned watching the adults<br />
in their lives work so hard to<br />
return their school to Redcliffs.<br />
These children represent the<br />
eight years that have nearly<br />
passed since the February<br />
earthquake changed the<br />
landscape for our school (both<br />
figuratively and literally). They,<br />
and our current year 7 pupils,<br />
will not have the privilege of<br />
attending our new school, but<br />
they will forever be a part of it.<br />
I’d like to extend an<br />
enormous thank you to all in<br />
our community who have so<br />
relentlessly supported us. We’re<br />
very much looking forward to<br />
returning our school to Redcliffs<br />
again at the beginning of 2020.<br />

But bid to save park rejected<br />
WE ARE ON THE<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
A BID to stop Redcliffs<br />
School moving to the area’s<br />
neighbourhood park looks like it<br />
has come to an end.<br />
A petition from the<br />
MOVE<br />
Friends<br />
AGAIN...<br />
of Redcliffs Park group, aimed<br />
at stopping the move, has been<br />
rejected by a Government select<br />
committee.<br />
The petition, which received<br />
208 signatures, called for the<br />
new school<br />
Chris Doudney<br />
to be opened<br />
on its<br />
existing site,<br />
as opposed<br />
to Redcliffs<br />
Park, due to<br />
concerns over<br />
flooding and<br />
tsunami risk.<br />
But it has<br />
been rejected by the Education<br />
and Workforce Committee.<br />
Construction of the new<br />
school is set to start next year<br />
and be completed by 2020.<br />
Friends of Redcliffs Park<br />
spokesman Chris Doudney said<br />
he was not surprised but was still<br />
disappointed by the committee’s<br />
decision.<br />
“It’s a higher tsunami risk<br />
than the other site and it’s also a<br />
higher flood risk than the other<br />
TO A NEW LOCATION IN<br />
SLOWLY<br />
FERRYMEAD,<br />
BUT SURELY: Trenches have been dug on the new<br />
DUE<br />
school site to accommodate<br />
TO<br />
underground electrical wiring.<br />
site,” he said. Mr Doudney said Redcliffs Park. “There’s nothing school back to Redcliffs by<br />
the school’s move to the new site more we can really do about the 2020 was to move to Redcliffs<br />
would be<br />
EARTHQUAKE<br />
a burden to ratepayers. current plans, if we could we<br />
REPAIRS<br />
Park.”<br />
“Ratepayers will have to would.”<br />
Dr Fidler was also confident<br />
pay $100,00 worth of roading Redcliffs School board of the flood risk could be mitigated.<br />
alterations to which we feel<br />
should have been the Ministry<br />
of Education’s responsibility. The<br />
trustees chairman Darren Fidler<br />
said it was now time to move<br />
on and push forward with the<br />
“Due diligence was done<br />
as part of the site selection in<br />
regards to a whole range of<br />
alterations are entirely down to school rebuild on Redcliffs Park. hazards, flooding was included<br />
the school being<br />
WATCH<br />
moved.”<br />
“I think this<br />
THIS<br />
[the petition<br />
SPACE<br />
in that, we are getting improved<br />
Mr Doudney said it was likely being rejected] shows that the drainage in that lower field as<br />
to be the end of the road for only feasible option to get the part of the school build.”<br />
Speed limit<br />
may be<br />
40km/h<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
REDCLIFFS RESIDENTS could<br />
see the speed limit on Main Rd<br />
drop from 50km/h to 40km/h.<br />
The Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
requested city<br />
council staff<br />
investigate the<br />
impact reducing<br />
the speed limit<br />
could have.<br />
The board was<br />
prompted by a<br />
request from the<br />
Redcliffs Residents’<br />
Darren<br />
Fidler<br />
Association, which wants to see<br />
slower speed limits on Main Rd<br />
around the village centre and<br />
Redcliffs School.<br />
Association member Darren<br />
Fidler said he did not want to<br />
wait for a serious accident to<br />
happen before something was<br />
done. “No one has been injured<br />
. . . yet, but when these things<br />
happen the consequences are<br />
far lower when they are driving<br />
slowly.”<br />
He said he has seen some<br />
minor incidents in the area.<br />
“There have been several near<br />
misses on the zebra crossings.”<br />

garden.<br />
Retirement<br />
village club<br />
blossoms<br />
A CASHMERE retirement<br />
village’s gardening club has<br />
blossomed over the last five<br />
years.<br />
The club was started five years<br />
ago at Bupa Cashmere <strong>View</strong><br />
Retirement Village and has kept<br />
its residents busy with projects<br />
throughout the grounds.<br />
Their projects have included<br />
trips to Trotts Garden in<br />
Ashburton, guest speakers and<br />
the upkeep of a village beehive<br />
with the honey collected, shared<br />
and enjoyed across the whole<br />
village.<br />
Resident Trevor Houston<br />
said he has made many friends<br />
through the gardening club.<br />
“The vegetable garden is<br />
already providing produce and<br />
we’ve enjoyed beginning the<br />
new garden areas and planting<br />
fruit trees. We all have a great<br />
time,” Mr Houston said.<br />
Bupa manager Rochelle<br />
Moore said common interests<br />
among the residents is<br />
important for their health and<br />
well-being.<br />
“Clubs have a way of bringing<br />
people together, forming new<br />
friendships, swapping stories,<br />
exchanging ideas and planning<br />
new projects, which gives them<br />
a sense of achievement,” Ms<br />
Moore said.<br />

“Without their sacrifice, our<br />
lives would be considerably<br />
different and we would have<br />
considerably less freedom than<br />
we do today,” he said.<br />

down the names of the 21<br />
servicemen with the help of the<br />

Society.<br />
Leading curator of the<br />
ROSE: Jenny Hoskin and a group of volunteers help keep the Edmonds Factory Garden<br />
looking good.<br />
KEEPING THE Edmonds<br />
Factory Garden in prime<br />
condition is a piece of cake<br />
thanks to a team of dedicated<br />
volunteers.<br />
The garden, which appeared<br />
on the Edmonds Cookery Book<br />
cover, is cared for by the Friends<br />
of the Edmonds Factory Garden.<br />
The groups meets at the Ferry Rd<br />
garden every Saturday to deadhead<br />
roses, trim hedges, weed,<br />
trim edges and tidy up.<br />
They are some of many volunteers<br />
who contribute their time<br />
to communities across the city.<br />
Their work was acknowledged on<br />
International Volunteer Day on<br />
Wednesday.<br />
Friends secretary Jenny Hoskin<br />
said the group’s over-arching goal<br />
is to keep the gardens looking<br />
good and make them an inviting<br />
place to be.<br />
“We feel very strongly that<br />
these gardens are a special part<br />
of Christchurch’s heritage and<br />
I know a lot of visitors feel the<br />
same way. Our aim is to promote<br />
and maintain them as a community<br />
asset.”<br />
The volunteer group, which<br />
includes Mrs Hoskin’s husband<br />
John Hoskin, has planted roses,<br />
lilies, bulbs and memorial camellias.<br />
Members even used their own<br />
money to install a sundial, drinking<br />
foundation and seating, and<br />
campaigned for funding to get<br />
lighting, irrigation, CCTV cameras,<br />
a rose garden, a bluebird<br />
oval garden and three bridges.<br />
Last year, 18 weddings were<br />
held at the garden and the volunteers<br />
spent about 1500 hours<br />
preparing for them.<br />
The garden also hosts live<br />
events, with Music at Edmonds<br />
museum, Topsy Rule, was able<br />
to provide the RSA with military<br />
records that identified the 21<br />
servicemen.<br />
Mr Godden said the RSA had<br />
made three blank crosses in case<br />
the military records had missed<br />
anyone out.<br />
•Get in touch with<br />
RSA president Pat Boland<br />
to claim a cross: 027 333<br />

City council heritage parks<br />
team leader Nicky Brown said<br />
the group’s work is invaluable.<br />
“The gardens are kept to an<br />
exceptionally high standard<br />
because of their dedicated efforts<br />
and they’re also very strong advocates<br />
within their community.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
COMMUNITY SITE: Investigation taking place at Kyle Park<br />
in October. The park is recommended for a new south-west<br />
leisure centre.<br />
Mixed views over Kyle Park<br />
•From page 1<br />
“If we chose [to investigate<br />
site options], we go back to<br />
council – who . . . asked us to<br />
expedite the work on Kyle Park<br />
– and say I’m really sorry but we<br />
need another month or year’s<br />
consultation . . . I am certainly<br />
not prepared to do that,” Cr<br />
Buck said.<br />
Board member Ross<br />
McFarlane voted to investigate<br />
other possible sites and<br />
investigate possible cost<br />
savings.<br />
He said: “Essentially all we are<br />
trying to do is to spend the best<br />
amount of money to get the best<br />
facility possible.”<br />
“$5.8 million goes into the<br />
ground [to remediate the Kyle<br />
Park landfill].”<br />
Mr McFarlane asked what<br />
the best option was for the ratepayer,<br />
and to take out the “rush”<br />
in the process.<br />

voted:<br />

Marc Duff Mark Peters Garry Kilday<br />
GREATER Hornby Residents’<br />
Association chairman Marc<br />
Duff said choosing Kyle Park<br />
would help move the leisure<br />
centre project forward.<br />
“We are many years overdue<br />
for this. We’ve been consulted<br />
until we never want to hear<br />
that word again,” Mr Duff<br />
said.<br />
“To hear that people want<br />
to go out for more views absolutely<br />
amazes me,” he said.<br />
But Save Denton Park chairman<br />
Mark Peters believed<br />
more consultation was needed.<br />
“To me it feels like it [the<br />
process] has been rushed. It<br />
feels like an agenda to get this<br />
through before Christmas,” he<br />
said.<br />
“Take a breath through the<br />
Christmas break, have the<br />
council staff do more homework<br />
for you,” Mr Peters said.<br />
Templeton Residents’ Association<br />
chairman Garry Kilday<br />
slammed the decision, for<br />
being put on a former landfill<br />
site.<br />
Mr Kilday said Templeton<br />
residents have a strong interest<br />
in the mega centre as it is<br />
designed for the south west.<br />
“I just found the whole thing<br />
absolutely reprehensible. I<br />
can’t understand why anyone<br />
would condone opening that<br />
dump,” he said.<br />
Mr Kilday was also concerned<br />
about the community<br />
board supporting Templeton<br />
residents’ fear of quarry dust,<br />
while at also opening a former<br />
landfill at Kyle Park.<br />
He also believed the board<br />
should have investigated an<br />
option to build the mega<br />
centre at Waterloo Business<br />
Park.<br />
“We [Templeton residents]<br />
have a vested interest in this,<br />
people kept on calling it the<br />
Hornby leisure centre. Well it<br />
isn’t, it’s the south-west leisure<br />
centre,” Mr Kilday said.<br />
BMX facility<br />
to benefit<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
THE NEW leisure centre is set to<br />
be built next to the Christchurch<br />
BMX Club at Kyle Park.<br />
Track manager Michael<br />
Stronach says the new facility at<br />
Kyle Park will be a boost for the<br />
BMX Club.<br />
The club recently upgraded their<br />
track, which was designed with the<br />
help of Olympic BMX rider Trent<br />
Jones.<br />
“It’s got potential to [benefit] for<br />
sure. With a bit of car parking,<br />
lighting and security it gives them<br />
[city council] the incentive to tidy<br />
up,” Mr Stronach said.<br />
“It could be a good thing for<br />
everyone,” he said.<br />
Work on upgrading the track<br />
started on November 30 and finished<br />
last Tuesday. The cost of the<br />
upgrade would have been $35,000<br />
but it was paid for by businesses<br />
across the city.<br />
“The support from local businesses<br />
has been amazing,” Mr<br />
Stronach said.<br />
The track’s upgrades were<br />
designed and built by BMX rider<br />
Jones, who is also a qualified digger<br />
operator.<br />
The track now has new straights<br />
and jumps.<br />

‘Knocked for six’ with pneumonia<br />
Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board<br />
deputy chairman Tim<br />
Sintes has been in<br />
hospital with pneumonia.<br />
Julia Evans reports<br />
TIM SINTES has been in<br />
bed living off a diet of english<br />
breakfast tea and Kurols cough<br />
drops for the past five weeks.<br />
It’s a big change for the 67-yearold<br />
former fisherman, who can<br />
normally be found surfing,<br />
gardening or tinkering in his<br />
shed.<br />
But Mr Sintes, who is deputy<br />
chairman of the Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community Board,<br />
has been “knocked for six” by a<br />
severe case of pneumonia.<br />
It’s landed him in hospital<br />
twice.<br />
“The day before it happened,<br />
I was riding my mountain bike<br />
over Rapaki with my daughter.<br />
The next day, I woke up and I<br />
thought I just had hay fever, I<br />
had a blocked nose and that was<br />
about it,” Mr Sintes said.<br />
He started to shake and shiver<br />
– the next morning he went to<br />
the doctor.<br />
“One listen to the croak in<br />
my chest and he said ‘you’ve<br />
got quite severe pneumonia’. I<br />
went straight to get an X-ray<br />
and then I was admitted to<br />
hospital.”<br />
It went downhill from there.<br />
“I just kept getting worse.<br />
At first we thought it was<br />
legionnaires’, I’d just redone the<br />
lawns.”<br />
Every year Mr Sintes’ hosts<br />
a community Christmas<br />
celebration at his Southshore<br />
home and was relaying the lawn<br />
for the occasion.<br />
ON THE<br />
MEND:<br />
Coastal-<br />
Burwood<br />
Community<br />
Board deputy<br />
chairman<br />
Tim Sintes<br />
has been in<br />
bed for five<br />
weeks with a<br />
severe case of<br />
pneumonia.<br />
“But I’d been wearing a mask<br />
when I was doing the lawn . . .<br />
they worked out it was a bacterial<br />
infection that caused the<br />
pneumonia, but nobody knows<br />
how I got it.”<br />
Mr Sintes said he knew nothing<br />
about pneumonia before, but now<br />
he is an expert.<br />
“I did not realise the<br />
seriousness of it. When people<br />
would say to me they’ve got<br />
pneumonia, I would think it was<br />
just a bit like having the flu,” he<br />
said.<br />
There were moments he<br />
thought he would never breathe<br />
again when his lungs felt like<br />
they were compressing in on<br />
themselves.<br />
“I was on oxygen in a severe<br />
state for three days. I couldn’t<br />
breathe and the bed was<br />
wringing wet from me sweating<br />
so much. One night I had the<br />
most intense hallucinations.<br />
They were in 3D colour. It was<br />
horrible,” he said.<br />
“You feel very vulnerable.<br />
Usually I’m too busy to be sick.”<br />
He was discharged from<br />
hospital and felt like he was on<br />
the mend.<br />
“I felt better and I thought,<br />
wow, I can do all these things.<br />
Since I didn’t feel too bad, I<br />
thought good, it was all over,” he<br />
said.<br />
Soon he was back in the surf,<br />
mowing the lawns and just about<br />
at the end of his first course of<br />
antibiotics.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Shakes and shivers a battle for Sintes<br />
•From page 10<br />
“There were about three or<br />
four days where I couldn’t quite<br />
believe it, I felt alive again.<br />
One day I mowed the lawns, the<br />
next day I was out for a coffee in<br />
Sumner and I started feeling not<br />
too good again,” Mr Sintes said.<br />
His wife Jan suggested he go to<br />
hospital.“The aches and shakes<br />
were back and I thought, ‘no, I<br />
don’t want to go to hospital’. But<br />
I had to tell my wife to ring the<br />
ambulance.”<br />
He ended<br />
up spending<br />
another<br />
six days in<br />
hospital.<br />
Mr Sintes<br />
was discharged<br />
from hospital<br />
for the second<br />
Tim Sintes<br />
time 10 days<br />
ago.<br />
The pneumonia had spread to<br />
his other lung. “That taught me<br />
a lesson. Listen to your doctor<br />
when they say you need to rest. I<br />
didn’t think it was much, I didn’t<br />
think of the consequences and<br />
now I’ve been sick for five weeks.”<br />
After losing 8kg, Mr Sintes<br />
believes he may be on the road to<br />
recovery and has been getting his<br />
appetite back.<br />
“I’m so cautious now. I don’t<br />

Although most people are<br />

Six weeks ago, Mr Sintes<br />
had an accident with a<br />
chainsaw and cut his leg. Two<br />
weeks later he was back out<br />
surfing. “It’s hard to believe you<br />
can be right two weeks after<br />
being cut by a chainsaw, but<br />
you can be knocked for six by<br />
something like this.”<br />
But the cause of his pneumonia<br />
remains a mystery.<br />
“It’s the strangest feeling.<br />
I’m the kind of person that<br />
needs explanations and needs a<br />
reason, but this time it could be<br />
anything,” he said.<br />
Mr Sintes said people had<br />
asked if it was related to stress<br />
from his city council work and<br />
the code of conduct investigation<br />

Stolen rabbits make happy return<br />
BUNNY BANDITS have returned<br />
two pet rabbits to a pre-school<br />
after outrage on social media.<br />
The two bunny sisters, Ruby and<br />
Rose, were stolen from BestStart<br />
Hei Hei on November 30.<br />
Two hutches, rabbit food and<br />
a wooden baby fence were also<br />
taken. It was the second burglary<br />
in two nights at the pre-school.<br />
During the first one, a Civil<br />
Defence kit and two shade sails<br />
were stolen.<br />
The rabbits and a hutch were<br />
returned on <strong>December</strong> 3 after<br />
CCTV footage of the offenders<br />
was published on Facebook and on<br />
Stuff.<br />
BestStart Hei Hei pre-school<br />
manager Melitta Fielding narrowly<br />
missed the burglars returning the<br />
rabbits.<br />
“A friend has a surveillance<br />
camera and saw the car driving<br />
down the road with a rabbit cage<br />
on the back . . . by the time I got<br />
there they had dumped them<br />
down the side of the building and<br />
the rabbits were in the hutch.”<br />
She said the children loved<br />
having them back.<br />
“They were so excited when they<br />
saw the cage.”<br />
Miss Fielding believed media<br />
coverage of the thefts may have<br />
pressured the thieves to return the<br />
rabbits.<br />
Nothing else stolen in the HAPPY DAYS: Cameron Denson, 2, Jaxon Bain, 3, teacher Abbie Young, Elliot Jolly, 4, Alexander Bromell, 2, and Lachan Preddy,<br />
burglaries has been returned. 4, welcome back their rabbits Rose and Ruby at the BestStart Hei Hei pre-school.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Tireless triplets still an online sensation<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
THE THREE bouncing babies<br />
who won hearts in a viral online<br />
video have now grown into<br />
tireless toddlers.<br />
The triplets, Macy, Sadie<br />
and Toby O’Leary will be<br />
17-months-old on Monday<br />
and their mother Sarah says<br />
they are adjusting to life as a big<br />
family.<br />
They are fraternal and<br />
were born less than a minute<br />
apart.<br />
Not long after their birth,<br />
a video of the red-headed<br />
trio taken by Hazel&Cass<br />
photographer Cassandra English<br />
went viral online.<br />
It has reached more than nine<br />
million views.<br />
Now, Mrs O’Leary says the<br />
triplets have all gained their<br />
individual personalities and<br />
quirks.<br />
“They are three very different<br />
toddlers.”<br />
Toby now has beach<br />
blonde hair, growing out of his<br />
ginger locks, unlike his two<br />
sisters.<br />
“He is very boisterous and<br />
loud. He’s more advanced than<br />
the other two in that he can<br />
walk. Now he can run around,<br />
he wants to play with the big<br />
boys. He’s definitely his father’s<br />
son,” said Mrs O’Leary.<br />
“Sadie is always wanting to<br />
dress up and wear goofy things<br />
on her head, she doesn’t mind<br />
putting on a show in front of<br />
everybody. But out of all three,<br />
she is the more clingy one, that<br />
needs the most attention. She’s<br />
the little one, but if she wants<br />
something, she will fight you for<br />
it.”<br />
“And Macy is the sweet,<br />
patient one. She will wait<br />
patiently for things and is<br />
cuddly, quiet and enjoys playing<br />
by herself.”<br />
Along with the triplets, Sarah<br />
and her husband Fionn are kept<br />
busy with two other boys, Olly,<br />
6, and Archy, who is almost<br />
three-years-old.<br />
The Hoon Hay family<br />
often get stopped in public by<br />
people asking questions about<br />
the large family, or just to admire<br />
then.<br />
“I get a lot of comments from<br />
people saying about how busy I<br />
must be. A lot of older ladies are<br />
amazed by the girls with their<br />
bright red hair and blue eyes.<br />
Even older men stop me to tell<br />
me stories about their family<br />
trees or a friend of a friend who<br />
had triplets.”<br />

SPORTS<br />
KINDNESS: Twelve Marian College students put on a<br />
Christmas party for visitors from Age Concern Canterbury. <br />
Marian students spread<br />
some Christmas cheer<br />
A YOUNG Vinnies Group<br />
from Marian College has helped<br />
spread some Christmas cheer to<br />
the elderly.<br />
Twelve students hosted a<br />
Christmas party for eight<br />
visitors from Age Concern<br />
Canterbury recently.<br />
It aimed to help bring joy to<br />
people who may be alone at<br />
Christmas.<br />
Year 10 student Amy<br />
Williamson said the party went<br />
well and it was nice to see the joy<br />
in people’s faces as they bonded<br />
with each other.<br />
The Young Vinnies Group<br />
was established to support the St<br />
Vincent de Paul Society’s work<br />
to help people in need.<br />
The students have also hosted<br />
morning tea events for elderly<br />
visitors and run campaigns to<br />
collect food cans for the society.<br />
Said year 9 student Anna<br />
McKey: “It was nice knowing<br />
we could organise something<br />
that we knew would be helping<br />
others and contributing to wider<br />
society.”<br />
THE NEWLY opened athletic<br />
facilities at Nga Puna Wai Sports<br />
Hub in Halswell hosted the<br />
Canterbury primary schools<br />
athletics championships on<br />
Wednesday.<br />
The event brought together<br />
more than 1700 children from<br />
180 primary schools across<br />
Canterbury and the West Coast.<br />
It is the first time since the<br />
earthquakes<br />
that the<br />
championships<br />
have been held in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
For the past<br />
eight years,<br />
Julyan<br />
Christchurch<br />
students<br />
competing in<br />
Falloon<br />
the championships have had<br />
to travel to Ashburton because<br />
there has been no suitable<br />
facility in the city.<br />
But the opening in October<br />
of the new world-class athletics<br />
track at Nga Puna Wai has<br />
changed that.<br />
City council recreation and<br />
sports service manager David<br />
Bailey is delighted the city<br />
is again in a position to host<br />
athletics events like the primary<br />
ACTIVE: Nga Puna Wai hosted the Canterbury primary schools<br />

schools championships.<br />
“It’s great to see the years of<br />
hard work and planning that<br />
has gone into creating Nga<br />
Puna Wai paying off and to see<br />
the smiles on these young kids’<br />
faces,” Mr Bailey said.<br />
Sport Canterbury chief<br />
executive Julyan Falloon is<br />
also pleased the school athletic<br />
championships are finally back<br />
in the city.<br />
“Today we’re seeing an entire<br />
generation of children who’ve<br />
never run on anything other<br />
than a grass track. It’s fantastic<br />
to see them competing on a<br />
world-class facility on their<br />
home turf,’’ Mr Falloon said.<br />
Nga Puna Wai is being<br />
developed by a collaborative<br />
partnership, which includes the<br />
city council, Sport Canterbury,<br />
Athletics Canterbury,<br />
Canterbury Rugby League,<br />
Canterbury Hockey, and Tennis<br />
Canterbury, and is opening in<br />
stages.<br />
The nine-lane athletics track<br />
and two water-based synthetic<br />
hockey pitches have opened and<br />
the two sand-based rugby league<br />
fields and 12 outdoor acrylic<br />
tennis courts are due to open in<br />
April.<br />
There will also be two multiuse<br />
community playing fields, a<br />
shared sports hub building with<br />
administration facilities, public<br />
toilets, changing facilities, a<br />
children’s play zone, an athletics<br />
control building, and covered<br />

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

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

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

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

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

Activities and Events in<br />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />
number of mobile traders<br />

especia ly during the summer<br />
months.<br />
In the past year, the district<br />
council has received five inquiries<br />

The presentation is a prelude<br />

As a tribute to those who<br />

Mr A pleton said it was<br />
important children were<br />
educated on what soldiers<br />

War 1 and World War 2.<br />
But he said the presentation<br />
didn’t go into t o much detail<br />
and was more of a “show and<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />
Children were shown the type<br />

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

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />

“I’d like to think so because the<br />
