Mixed 

views over 

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 


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. 

LOCATION: 

Yani Johanson 

‘reluctantly’ 

supported the 

Nayland St site. 

CONCERNS: The owner of 

the Sumner Bay Motel is 

worried noise will affect his 

business.

New road names have been 

touted for two subdivisions. 

Eight roads under consideration 

are from the Copper Ridge

under consideration. A decision 

will be made by the Halswell-

Board today. 

FUNDING REQUEST 

Halswell horse rider Amy

Community behind Redcliffs School

principal 

Rose 

McInerney 

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 

Labour caucus. 

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.

at stopping the move, has been 

rejected by a Government select

The petition, which received

and be completed by 2020.

spokesman Chris Doudney said 

he was not surprised but was still

REDCLIFFS RESIDENTS could

The Linwood-Central-

The board was 

prompted by a 

request from the

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 

slowly.” 

He said he has seen some 

minor incidents in the area. 

“There have been several near

Retirement 

village club 

blossoms 

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 

lives would be considerably 

different and we would have 

considerably less freedom than 

we do today,” he said. 

The RSA managed to track 

down the names of the 21 

servicemen with the help of the 

Sumner Redcliffs Historical 

Society. 

Leading curator of the 

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 

museum, Topsy Rule, was able 

to provide the RSA with military 

records that identified the 21 

servicemen. 

Mr Godden said the RSA had

the military records had missed

COMMUNITY SITE: Investigation taking place at Kyle Park 

in October. The park is recommended for a new south-west 

leisure centre. 

Mixed views over Kyle Park 


“If we chose [to investigate 

site options], we go back to 

council – who . . . asked us to 

expedite the work on Kyle Park 

– and say I’m really sorry but we 

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. 

How board members 

voted: 

For: Mike Mora, Natalie 

Bryden, Vicki Buck, Jimmy 

Chen and Anne Galloway 

Against: Helen Broughton, 

Catherine Chu, Ross 

McFarlane and Debbie 

Mora 

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 


“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.

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.

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.”

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 

athletics championships on 

Wednesday. 

The event brought together 

more than 1700 children from 

180 primary schools across 

Canterbury and the West Coast. 

It is the first time since the 

earthquakes 

that the 

championships 

have been held in 

Christchurch.

eight years,

the championships have had 

to travel to Ashburton because 

there has been no suitable 

facility in the city. 

But the opening in October 

of the new world-class athletics 

track at Nga Puna Wai has 

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

schools championships. 

“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.

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.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

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

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

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

Only eight submi sions were

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

Pupils learn about role of war horses

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

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.

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 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
