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 />

SOUTHERN VIEW<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 />

Board today.<br />

FUNDING REQUEST<br />

Halswell horse rider Amy<br />

Batchelor has applied for funding<br />

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<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 />

today.<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 />

Tending to the Edmonds garden<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 />

The RSA managed to track<br />

down the names of the 21<br />

servicemen with the help of the<br />

Sumner Redcliffs Historical<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 />

planned for February 17.<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 />

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 />

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 />

seating for athletics, hockey and<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 />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

In the past year, the district<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 />
