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

I CAN sympathise with Tim Sintes, who
has been struck down with pneumonia
(pages 10 and 12).
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.

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

talks about
how the
community
has helped
the school get ready to
move into its new home
WHAT A strong and resilient
community we have here in
Redcliffs.
We are just short of one year
away from moving into our
brand new school, which has
only been made possible by the
strength of this community.
Has fighting against closure,
navigating land swaps,
and watching demolition got
our children and families down?
Quite the opposite.
We have just completed one
of the biggest and most exciting
school fairs in the city.
Our fair is so important to
us – not only is it our main
fundraiser, bringing in funds
for the resources we need in
the coming months, but it puts
smiles on our children’s faces.
Our school fair involves
enormous commitment from
many – from the staff team
MEETING: A Redcliffs School pupil is welcomed by Minister of
Justice Andrew Little before the school’s presentation to the

leaders to the people who bake
cakes, donate goods and give
their time before, during and
after the fair.
It’s exciting to think that in
the coming year, we will be able
to use some of these fair funds
raised to enhance the playscapes
at our new school.
We’ve had a long road and it’s
hard to believe that our year 8
children were five when the June
earthquake sent us from our
school to our temporary location
in Sumner.
Our senior children shared
their Redcliffs School journey
in a presentation with Jacinda
Ardern and the Labour caucus
when they were invited to
visit Parliament recently.
Our children talked of their
experiences in the earthquake
and their home away from home
at Sumner and Van Asch.
They talked of determination,
love of their school and the
resilience and perseverance they
have learned watching the adults
in their lives work so hard to
return their school to Redcliffs.
These children represent the
eight years that have nearly
passed since the February
earthquake changed the
landscape for our school (both
figuratively and literally). They,
and our current year 7 pupils,
will not have the privilege of
attending our new school, but
they will forever be a part of it.
I’d like to extend an
enormous thank you to all in
our community who have so
relentlessly supported us. We’re
very much looking forward to
returning our school to Redcliffs
again at the beginning of 2020.

The board was
prompted by a
request from the
Redcliffs Residents’
Darren

Association, which wants to see
slower speed limits on Main Rd

Redcliffs School.
Association member Darren
Fidler said he did not want to
wait for a serious accident to
happen before something was
done. “No one has been injured
. . . yet, but when these things
happen the consequences are
far lower when they are driving

He said he has seen some
minor incidents in the area.
“There have been several near

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

“Without their sacrifice, our

The RSA managed to track
down the names of the 21

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

to provide the RSA with military

need another month or year’s
consultation . . . I am certainly
not prepared to do that,” Cr
Buck said.
Board member Ross
McFarlane voted to investigate
other possible sites and
investigate possible cost
savings.
He said: “Essentially all we are
trying to do is to spend the best
amount of money to get the best
facility possible.”
“$5.8 million goes into the
ground [to remediate the Kyle
Park landfill].”
Mr McFarlane asked what
the best option was for the ratepayer,
and to take out the “rush”
in the process.

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

‘Knocked for six’ with pneumonia
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
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.
ON THE
MEND:
Coastal-
Burwood
Community
Board deputy
chairman
Tim Sintes
has been in
bed for five
weeks with a
severe case of
pneumonia.
“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.

Shakes and shivers a battle for Sintes
•From page 10
“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

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.

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

this weather has been bad for

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

Stolen rabbits make happy return
BUNNY BANDITS have returned
two pet rabbits to a pre-school
after outrage on social media.
The two bunny sisters, Ruby and
Rose, were stolen from BestStart
Hei Hei on November 30.
Two hutches, rabbit food and
a wooden baby fence were also
taken. It was the second burglary
in two nights at the pre-school.
During the first one, a Civil
Defence kit and two shade sails
were stolen.
The rabbits and a hutch were
returned on December 3 after
CCTV footage of the offenders
was published on Facebook and on
Stuff.
BestStart Hei Hei pre-school
manager Melitta Fielding narrowly
missed the burglars returning the
rabbits.
“A friend has a surveillance
camera and saw the car driving
down the road with a rabbit cage
on the back . . . by the time I got
there they had dumped them
down the side of the building and
the rabbits were in the hutch.”
She said the children loved
having them back.
“They were so excited when they
saw the cage.”
Miss Fielding believed media
coverage of the thefts may have
pressured the thieves to return the
rabbits.
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,
burglaries has been returned. 4, welcome back their rabbits Rose and Ruby at the BestStart Hei Hei pre-school.

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

SPORTS
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.”
THE NEWLY opened athletic
facilities at Nga Puna Wai Sports
Hub in Halswell hosted the
Canterbury primary schools

The event brought together
more than 1700 children from

that the
championships
have been held in
Christchurch.

the championships have had
to travel to Ashburton because
there has been no suitable

But the opening in October
of the new world-class athletics

changed that.
City council recreation and
sports service manager David
Bailey is delighted the city
is again in a position to host
athletics events like the primary

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

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 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.”

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

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
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

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 bigger 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.

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the

from the city council to make a

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

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
