The station is currently crewed<br />
during the day by youth aid and<br />

“What we’ve got now is having<br />
stations that are more hubs,” he<br />
said.<br />
“So we are trying to centralise<br />
more rather than having smaller<br />

I CAN sympathise with Tim Sintes, who<br />
has been struck down with pneumonia<br />
(page 14).<br />
The all-round good guy has been laid very<br />
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 />

New twist in subdivision battle<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
A SMALL road has become the<br />
latest battleground in a longrunning<br />
saga over the Yaldhurst<br />
Park subdivision.<br />
Resident Colin Stokes is trying<br />
to stop the Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
formally naming the road.<br />
He says if that happens, it<br />
will torpedo his battle over<br />
stormwater issues in the<br />
subdivision.<br />
Mr Stokes has spent eight<br />
years fighting developers over a<br />
number of issues relating to the<br />
subdivision.<br />
As a result of his concerns, the<br />
community board has decided<br />
to defer naming the road until<br />
it meets with affected residents<br />
and city council staff.<br />
The meeting is yet to be arranged.<br />
The proposed road<br />
name was Jack Clarke Rd.<br />
The unnamed road provides<br />
access from Yaldhurst Park to<br />
properties that are west of the<br />
subdivision, known as Lot 22.<br />
The developer behind the<br />
subdivision is Infinity Yaldhurst.<br />
Mr Stokes resides at Lot 22.<br />
He said the road cannot be<br />
named as the developer, previously<br />
known as Noble Investments<br />
Ltd, built stormwater<br />
systems that were too small.<br />
Naming the road would legitimise<br />
the inadequate stormwater<br />
systems, Mr Stokes said.<br />
However, city councillor<br />
Vicki Buck said advice from city<br />
council staff was that naming<br />
the road would not “impact”<br />
Mr Stokes’ concerns about the<br />
stormwater systems.<br />
LONG BATTLE: Yaldhurst<br />
Village subdivision<br />
landowner Colin Stokes<br />
says the unnamed road<br />
is not a proper road as it<br />
doesn’t have the correct<br />
stormwater provisions.<br />
Cr Buck said the road naming<br />
issue was unrelated to the subdivision’s<br />
past issues.<br />
“It’s a very tiny section of<br />
road that needs a name for<br />
emergency services, mail, fairly<br />
basic sort of things, and that<br />
seemed important that they have<br />
that.”<br />
In a 2012 email provided to<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong>, city council<br />
planning engineer Brian Norton<br />
stated that design of a new<br />
stormwater system at Yaldhurst<br />
Park was “complicated by the<br />
depth of the stream culverts<br />
that Noble has installed without<br />
engineering approval.”<br />
“It went in deeper than we<br />
[city council] wanted and<br />
are round rather than box<br />
culverts, in spite of the council<br />
having provided our preferred<br />
design to the applicants and<br />
their consultants on multiple<br />
occasions,” the email said.<br />
The email also stated: “At<br />
one of our last meetings with<br />
Noble, I believe we (city council)<br />
tentatively agreed that the deep<br />
culverts wouldn’t have to be<br />
ripped out in exchange for them<br />
doing some of the construction<br />
works for the bleed-off system<br />
we are designing.”<br />
Said Mr Stokes: “The<br />
city council retrospectively<br />
consented and approved<br />
non-complying undersized<br />
infrastructure.”<br />
He said as a result of<br />
inadequate stormwater<br />
provisions, the unnamed road<br />
frequently floods.<br />
The latest flooding happened<br />
on Wednesday night after heavy<br />
rain, Mr Stokes said.<br />

Bus lounge behaviour improves<br />

Since opening in <strong>December</strong><br />

including assaults.<br />

continue.<br />
“It’s been quiet this year and<br />
it’s probably down to the good<br />
work that the security guys<br />
are doing in there,” Constable<br />
Thorn said.<br />
The anti-social behaviour died<br />
down last year, he said. This<br />
year the main concern around<br />
the lounges has been beggars.<br />
But begging outside the bus<br />
lounges has also stopped, Constable<br />
Thorn said.<br />
There have been occasional<br />
incidents of loitering school students<br />
this year, but they weren’t<br />
serious, he said.<br />
“They [students] were hanging<br />
around being a nuisance. They<br />
are just loitering and not really<br />
doing much.”<br />
Riccarton Bush and Kilmarnock<br />
Residents’ Association<br />
chairman Tony Simons said<br />
residents have noticed an improvement.<br />
“It hasn’t been a topic of<br />
conversation for some time, so<br />
that’s a good sign. So I think the<br />
perception is that the behaviour<br />
has improved considerably,” Mr<br />
Simons said.<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board member<br />
Catherine Chu said the board<br />
has worked hard to prevent<br />
anti-social behaviour, and sent<br />
youth workers in to ease trouble<br />
last year.<br />
“The stories we were<br />
hearing from locals were just<br />
horrendous,” Ms Chu said.<br />

Community split over<br />
Kyle Park decision<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Is Kyle Park the right location for the new south-west leisure centre? Email anan.zaki@starmedia.kiwi<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
KYLE PARK is the new<br />
preferred location for the<br />
Hornby mega centre but the<br />
community remains split over<br />
the decision.<br />
The Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
last week recommended to the<br />
city council<br />
that Kyle Park<br />
should be home<br />
to the $35.7<br />
million customer<br />
services,<br />
library, recreation<br />
and leisure<br />
Vicki Buck<br />
centre.<br />
The community<br />
board was split over the<br />
decision, with the recommendation<br />
narrowly passing by five<br />
votes to four.<br />
Board member and city councillor<br />
Vicki Buck said because<br />
only one vote separated the<br />
decision, it was more open to<br />
challenge.<br />
“Kyle Park was not my first<br />
choice, but it is the next best<br />
choice.”<br />
Cr Buck originally favoured<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 />
Denton Park, which was ruled<br />
out earlier this year.<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 McFarlane<br />
voted to investigate other<br />
possible sites and investigate<br />
possible cost 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 />
How board members voted:<br />
For: Mike Mora, Natalie<br />
Bryden, Vicki Buck, Jimmy<br />
Chen and Anne Galloway<br />
Against: Helen Broughton,<br />
Catherine Chu, Ross<br />
McFarlane and Debbie<br />
Mora<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 />
• 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<br />
their track, which was designed<br />
with the help of Olympic BMX<br />
rider Trent Jones.<br />
“It’s got potential to [benefit]<br />
for sure. With a bit of car parking,<br />
lighting and security it gives<br />
them [city council] the incentive<br />
to tidy 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<br />
finished last Tuesday. The cost<br />
of the upgrade would have been<br />
$35,000 but it was paid for by<br />
businesses 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<br />
straights and jumps.<br />
The BMX track at Kyle Park<br />
was a place he often trained at<br />
during his youth.<br />
Jones, 24, competed at the 2016<br />
Olympics.<br />
“I designed and built new additions<br />
to upscale it. The sport of<br />
BMX is growing extremely fast<br />
and the driving force of that is<br />
the Olympics,” he said.<br />
“[The new track] provides<br />
something for the youth of<br />
Christchurch to train on a track<br />
of international stature,” Jones<br />
said.<br />
He said building BMX tracks is<br />
something he would pursue after<br />
his racing career and is one of<br />
the reasons he decided to build<br />
the track at Kyle Park.<br />
Jones, originally from Ohoka,<br />
moved to the United States in<br />
2014 to train full time as a BMX<br />
rider.<br />
He is currently based in Las<br />
Vegas, Nevada and is home for<br />
the Christmas and New Year<br />
period.<br />

Decision on Villa Grove trees<br />
may be made today<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
Mike Mora<br />
A DECISION over the future<br />
of 22 oak trees at an Upper<br />
Riccarton street could me made<br />
today.<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> reported in<br />
September that residents of Villa<br />
Grove were unhappy about the<br />
trees and wanted to remove<br />
them.<br />
The Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community<br />
Board deferred<br />
the matter until<br />
after elected officials<br />
met with<br />
residents and<br />
inspected the site.<br />
The board members met with<br />
the residents in October, chairman<br />
Mike Mora said.<br />
The board is due to vote on the<br />
future of the trees today.<br />
City council staff still object<br />
to removing the trees, keeping<br />
in line with their stance in<br />
September. Staff say the trees are<br />
healthy and add amenity to the<br />
area.<br />
NUISANCE: A decision on the future of the Villa Grove oak<br />
trees could be made today.<br />
Residents told the community<br />
board in September that leaves<br />
from the trees were set on fire by<br />
students.<br />
The trees also caused uneven<br />
footpaths and residents said they<br />
feared they would collapse in<br />
high wind.<br />
The residents presented a<br />
24-signature petition to the<br />
community board calling to<br />
remove the trees.<br />
The trees are between 8.1m<br />
and 15.8m high and were<br />
planted between 1992 and 1994,<br />
when the Villa Grove subdivision<br />
was built.<br />
They are on both sides of the<br />
road and on public land.<br />
City council staff say if<br />
the residents want the trees<br />
removed, they would have to<br />
finance it themselves at a cost of<br />
about $27,500.<br />
In a letter to residents in June,<br />
the city council said there was<br />
no budget to remove healthy<br />
trees.<br />
Mr Mora said it was normal<br />
practice for the city council<br />
to charge people who want to<br />
remove healthy trees.<br />

The new officers are part of the<br />
nationwide boost of 1800 police<br />
officers over the next three years.<br />
In the meantime, an additional<br />
youth aid worker has been confirmed<br />
for Hornby.<br />
Superintendent<br />
Todd<br />
said a youth<br />
aid worker will<br />
be needed in<br />
Hornby as the<br />
youth offender<br />
age is set to<br />
increase from<br />

we finalise numbers over the next<br />
three years, we will look at where<br />
we push some of our front line<br />
resourcing. But we won’t be making<br />
that decision until mid next<br />
year,” he said.<br />
Superintendent Todd said the<br />
community policing team at<br />
Hornby is “pretty full at the moment”.<br />
Currently, the Hornby youth<br />
aid worker also covers Selwyn.<br />
Hornby and Selwyn police<br />
youth aid worker Senior Constable<br />
Bruce Ward welcomed the<br />
announcement.<br />
“The big thing is with the increase<br />
in [youth offending] age to<br />
FAST FACTS<br />
Hornby Police station data<br />
•Youth offending from<br />
October 2017 to October<br />
<strong>2018</strong><br />
Number of offences – 126<br />
Unique offenders – 73<br />
•Adult offending in Hornby<br />
October 2017 to October<br />
<strong>2018</strong><br />
Number of offences – 1262<br />
Unique offenders – 833<br />
17, their offending will be<br />
dealt with youth aid officers,” he<br />
said.<br />
“At the moment, if you’re 17,<br />
you’re dealt with the district<br />
court,” Senior Constable Ward<br />
said.<br />
That will increase the number<br />
of cases handled by youth aid officers<br />
by about 20 to 30 per cent,<br />
he said.<br />
Including 17-year-olds as youth<br />
offenders is also “positive” Senior<br />
Constable Ward said.<br />
Many teenagers at that age are<br />
enrolled in secondary schools, he<br />
said.<br />
“So you might have a stolen car<br />
before that is stopped that had<br />
three 16-year-olds and a 17-yearold,<br />
all going to the same school,”<br />
Senior Constable Ward said.<br />
“The 16-year-olds will get taken<br />
home and the 17-year-old gets<br />
arrested. So now as soon as you<br />
turn 18, you’re in the district<br />
court.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Readers respond to<br />
an article about the<br />
controversial plan to plant<br />
trees along the middle<br />
of Riccarton Rd between<br />
Clarence and Matipo Sts<br />
Peter and Doreen<br />
Marshall – We couldn’t imagine<br />
anything so inappropriate as<br />
planting trees in the middle of<br />
Riccarton Rd and we can think of<br />
no good reason to do so.<br />
Alan Tunnicliffe – As a car<br />
driver, bus rider and pedestrian<br />
who uses this busy, narrow part<br />
of Riccarton Rd frequently, I<br />
emphatically say no to the plan to<br />
plant 27 trees in the middle of<br />
the road. There is not enough<br />
room to narrow the road even<br />
further and they will obscure the<br />
view of all users of the road to a<br />
dangerous extent.<br />
Tony Beasley – This<br />
proposal is ridiculous and<br />
typical of the city council’s<br />
‘over green’ planning team.<br />
Only six or seven per cent of<br />
our population is green enough<br />
to vote Green. However, our<br />
planners are bent on treating<br />
the privileged few at the expense<br />
and inconvenience of the vast<br />
majority. Congratulations to<br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> and the Central<br />
Riccarton Residents’ Association<br />
for bringing these issues to the<br />
fore.<br />
CONGESTED: Residents disagree with a proposal to plant 27 trees along the middle of<br />
Riccarton Rd. <br />
Another ridiculous proposal<br />
is the peak time bus lane for<br />
Lincoln Rd when buses only pass<br />
every 10-15min. Anyone with<br />
their eyes half shut can see that<br />
what the planners want is a nice<br />
wide cycle lane for a few cyclists<br />
at the expense and inconvenience<br />
of motorists.<br />
The cycle lane down Antigua<br />
St, which is 20 times over<br />
capacity, is another example<br />
of a proposal installed against<br />
the opinion of the majority of<br />
ratepayers. We are all a little<br />
“green”. However, our city<br />
councillors should keep a tighter<br />
rein on their over green planners.<br />
Megan Malone – That<br />
road is a nightmare at the best<br />
of times. How the hell are trees<br />
going to help?<br />
Angela Whiten –<br />
Ridiculous. The public need to<br />
know who the city councillors<br />
are who voted for this and the<br />
ones that did away with the car<br />
parking in town. Vote them out.<br />
Kelly Root – What a bunch of<br />
morons. Our city council needs<br />
to go.<br />
Anna Henderson – I love the<br />
idea of tree-lined streets. Not sure<br />
it would work in this location<br />
though.<br />
Gayle Elizabeth Lord –<br />
I’m not a Riccarton resident<br />
but do travel through the area<br />
at various times. It is already a<br />
nightmare during heavy traffic<br />
so I can’t imagine how this is<br />
expected to improve traffic flow. I<br />
believe it will be a nightmare for<br />
emergency vehicles and buses.<br />
Marianne McKinney<br />
Zonneveld – It will divert the<br />
traffic into Kauri St to avoid<br />
Riccarton Rd and those suburban<br />
streets can’t take that amount of<br />
traffic. Ridiculous. Heaven help<br />
the fire brigade or the number<br />
of ambulances which go down<br />
Riccarton Rd regularly day and<br />
night. Typical of this council.<br />
Jillian Nuth – Brilliant. How<br />
much money did that cost to<br />
dream up? Worst idea ever.<br />
Holly Bryce – What a<br />
ridiculous idea. Just another<br />
way to make our roads more<br />
dangerous. How about spending<br />
rate payers money a bit more<br />
wisely.<br />

Fizzy drink out, fruit and veges in<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
IT COULD be a lot harder to<br />
find ice cream, lollies, hot chips<br />
and fizzy drinks at city council<br />
events and facilities.<br />
A new healthy food and drink<br />
policy could begin being phased<br />
in across city council events and<br />
facilities, such as pools and cafes,<br />
from April.<br />
It was approved by the social,<br />
community development and<br />
housing committee yesterday<br />
and will now be approved by the<br />
city council.<br />
The policy could affect recreation,<br />
sport facilities and library,<br />
events, city council leases and<br />
sponsorships.<br />
However, it will be a “transitionary”<br />
process rather than a<br />
“prescriptive” one and would<br />
be complete by 2022, a report<br />
said.<br />
The proportion of healthy<br />
options including fruit and<br />
vegetables, milk and nuts, will be<br />
increased. While unhealthy food<br />
and drink will be either removed<br />
entirely or reduced.<br />
Sugary drinks will be “ultimately<br />
eliminated” as part of the<br />
policy.<br />
The policy said a lot of people<br />
consider council events and<br />
facilities “special occasions” so<br />
may be more inclined to want<br />
POLICY: A new city council scheme could see unhealthy food phased out from facilities, such<br />
as the QE II Sport and Recreation Centre.<br />
less healthy foods – so most<br />
would not be removed entirely.<br />
Contracts at city council facilities<br />
will have to be renegotiated<br />
to take the policy into consideration.<br />
“However, it is not considered<br />
realistic to unduly constrain any<br />
potential food and beverage provider<br />
to completely exclude certain<br />
food or beverage types (such<br />
as white bread or ice-creams),”<br />
the report said.<br />
It would not apply to noncouncil<br />
run events and would<br />
have a “minor” impact on<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
‘Knocked for six’ with pneumonia<br />
Pneumonia can strike at<br />
any time. Well-known<br />
local body politician Tim<br />
Sintes is recovering from<br />
the potentially deadly<br />
infection. Julia Evans<br />
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 got<br />
quite severe pneumonia’. I went<br />
straight to get an X-ray and then<br />
I was admitted to 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 />
“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<br />
nothing about pneumonia before,<br />
but now 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 />
•Canterbury District Health Board data shows in 2017 to<br />
<strong>2018</strong>, there were 1736 patients admitted with pneumonia<br />
and 124 deaths<br />
•In 2016 to 2017, there were 1585 admissions and 104<br />
deaths<br />
•In 2016 to 2015, there were 1442 admissions and 95<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 />
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 />
“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 up spending another<br />
six days in hospital.<br />
Mr Sintes was discharged from<br />
hospital for the second time 10<br />
days ago.<br />
The pneumonia had spread to<br />
his other lung. “That taught me<br />
a lesson. Listen to your doctor<br />
when they say you need to rest. I<br />
didn’t think it was much, I didn’t<br />
think of the consequences and<br />
now I’ve been sick for five weeks.”<br />
After losing 8kg, Mr Sintes<br />
believes he may be on the road to<br />
recovery and has been getting his<br />
appetite back.<br />
“I’m so cautious now. I don’t<br />
want to go backwards again.”<br />
Although most people are<br />
lamenting the cold start to<br />
summer, Mr Sintes said it has<br />
been great.<br />
“It would be torture if I had<br />
to lie here and it was sunny. I<br />
enjoy life so much. Believe me,<br />
this weather has been bad for<br />
everyone except me.”<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 />
he and Coastal Ward city<br />
councillor David East, Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community Board<br />
chairwoman Kim Money and<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member<br />
Darrell Latham are facing over<br />
their comments alleging city<br />
council staff tampered with the<br />
District Plan, which affected<br />
property owners in flood prone<br />
areas.<br />
“I can easily say it’s not. I’m not<br />
a stress kind of person. My way<br />
of relaxing is being busy, that’s<br />
different.” Raising the issue has<br />
been a “weight off my shoulders,”<br />
he said.<br />

axendale’s chance to cap off big year<br />
Ten Cantabrians nominated for NZ Rugby League Awards<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
HORNBY PANTHERS and<br />
Canterbury Bulls captain James<br />
Baxendale is one of three finalists<br />
vying for the country’s top<br />
domestic rugby league award.<br />
Ten Cantabrians have been<br />
nominated in several categories<br />
of the New Zealand Rugby<br />
League Awards.<br />
Baxendale, 32, is up for premier<br />
player of the year following a<br />
standout season that saw him<br />
almost guide the Panthers to the<br />
Pat Smith Trophy.<br />
“It was a huge surprise to be<br />
honest. It’s a pretty big award, so<br />
to be nominated is a nice reward<br />
for a pretty good season,” said<br />
Baxendale.<br />
The second-rower has never<br />
won the award before, but was a<br />
finalist in 20<strong>11</strong>. However, he feels<br />
like a different player compared<br />
to when he last got the nomination.<br />
“I’m probably more of a<br />
leader within those teams now.<br />
I’ve got a few more words in the<br />
changing sheds and I just try and<br />
lead with my actions on the field<br />
now,” said Baxendale.<br />
He was recently named Canterbury<br />
Bulls sportsman of the<br />
year at the Canterbury Rugby<br />
League Awards. The Bulls narrowly<br />
missed out on a spot in the<br />
national premiership grand-final<br />
this year, due to points differential.<br />
Baxendale has now turned his<br />
focus to the Hornby Panthers<br />
campaign next year, in which he’s<br />
hoping to win his first title with<br />
the club since 2013.<br />
“What happened this year was<br />
pretty disappointing. But everyone’s<br />
coming back next year and<br />
there’s a real belief that we can<br />
get over the line,” said Baxendale.<br />
At international level, Brisbane<br />
Broncos winger Jamayne Isaako<br />
has been short-listed for Kiwis<br />
rookie of the year, while Sui<br />
Pauaraisa – who is also a rugby<br />
union international for Samoa –<br />
is up for Kiwi Ferns rookie of the<br />
year.<br />
Referees Gary<br />
Smallridge and Owen<br />
Harvey have been recognised<br />
with nominations in a<br />
four-strong field for match<br />
official of the year. Debbie<br />
Neylon-Kennedy, Michelle<br />
Harding and Hana Kakoi are in<br />
the running for female volunteer<br />
of the year. David Field and Tony<br />
Grenfell have been nominated for<br />
male volunteer of the year, which<br />
Hornby legend Jack <strong>News</strong>on<br />
won last year. Meanwhile, the<br />
Rolleston Warriors are one of<br />
seven finalists for grassroots club<br />
of the year.<br />
FINALIST: James Baxendale is up for New Zealand Rugby<br />
League’s biggest domestic award. <br />

League prospects get a taste of NRL<br />
TWO BRIGHT rugby league<br />
prospects, Jaedon Wellington<br />
and Callum Donaldson, are this<br />
week getting a unique taste of the<br />
NRL during a week-long camp at<br />
the Manly Sea Eagles.<br />
The invitation to come to<br />
Manly’s training base on<br />
Sydney’s northern beaches is<br />
the direct result of the club’s<br />
commitment to play an annual<br />
home match in Christchurch<br />
and to build a strong relationship<br />
with the local rugby league<br />
community.<br />
The Sea Eagles will play their<br />
second annual home match at<br />
Christchurch Stadium on March<br />
30.<br />
Jaedon captained the under-15<br />
South Island team at the national<br />
SPORTS<br />
championships last month and<br />
was named in the New Zealand<br />
Merit team.<br />
The young Hornby Panthers<br />
prop was joined by Callum<br />
from Greymouth, who was<br />
also part of the same under-15<br />
South Island team. Talent scout<br />
Jeff Whittaker says that the two<br />
players are among the best<br />
young talents to come out of<br />
the South Island and says the<br />
NRL is taking notice of the<br />
South Island as a talent breeding<br />
ground.<br />
Whittaker took Jamayne<br />
Isaako from the Aranui Eagles<br />
to the Cronulla youth team<br />
five years ago and last season<br />
the Brisbane Broncos star was<br />
named NRL rookie of the year.<br />
“Every year the South<br />
Island produces three or four<br />
youngsters who are good enough<br />
to have a crack at the NRL, so<br />
the scouts come out in force,”<br />
Whittaker said.<br />

CHAMPS: The Riccarton High School boys volleyball team won a title at the South Island junior<br />
volleyball championships in Dunedin.<br />
Riccarton High brings home<br />
South Island volleyball title<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
RICCARTON HIGH School<br />
have brought a title home from<br />
the South Island junior volleyball<br />
champs at Dunedin’s Edgar<br />
Centre.<br />
Riccarton’s head of health<br />
and physical education Chris<br />
Nielsen said the boys played hard<br />
throughout the tournament,<br />
finishing with seven wins and<br />
one loss and defeating Waimea<br />
College Gold two sets to one in<br />
the final.<br />
Nielsen said the team was<br />
coached by his son Jeremy.<br />
He put the win down to<br />
their ability to “keep playing<br />
aggressively.”<br />
Christchurch players also<br />
cleaned up the tournament’s<br />
individual awards, earning eight<br />
of the 12 slots in the girls alltournament<br />
team and six spots<br />
in the boys all-tournament team.<br />
The most valuable players in<br />
the girls and boys competitions<br />
were Burnside High School’s<br />
Taylah Holdem and Riccarton’s<br />
Joe Baxter.<br />
The Burnside High School girls<br />
A team took out the year 9-10<br />
division one title, finishing ahead<br />
of 16 teams from across the<br />
South Island.<br />
Coach Sam Ryburn said they<br />
only lost one game in pool play to<br />
rivals St Margaret’s College.<br />
Ryburn said although it had<br />
been a “pretty tight competition,”<br />
the team eventually made up for<br />
the loss, defeating St Margaret’s<br />
two games to one in the final.<br />
“We have a pretty wellrounded<br />
team of players and<br />
really played well as a team.”<br />
The win capped off a successful<br />
tournament for Christchurch<br />
school girls, with St Margaret’s<br />
finishing second and St Andrew’s<br />
College A taking third.<br />
Ryburn said the strong<br />
performance from Canterbury<br />
schools was “really positive” and<br />
could create “definite pathways”<br />
for young volleyballers to gain<br />
athletic scholarships overseas in<br />
the future.<br />
Both Burnside and Riccarton<br />
hope to continue their good<br />
form. Burnside’s girls team are<br />
competing at the Australian<br />
Volleyball Schools Cup, which<br />
was set to start on Sunday and<br />
finish on Friday.<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<br />
the West Coast.<br />
It is the first<br />
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 />
Christchurch students competing<br />
in the championships have had<br />
to travel to Ashburton because<br />
there has been no suitable facility<br />
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 />
schools championships.<br />
“It’s great to see the years of<br />
hard work and planning that has<br />
gone into creating Nga Puna Wai<br />
paying off and to see the smiles<br />
on these young kids’ faces,” Mr<br />
Bailey said.<br />
Sport Canterbury chief<br />
executive Julyan Falloon is<br />
also pleased the school athletic<br />
SPORTS<br />
Canty school athletics<br />
champs return to<br />
city at Nga Puna Wai<br />
Julyan<br />
Falloon<br />
championships are finally back<br />
in the city. “Today we’re seeing<br />
an entire generation of children<br />
who’ve never run on anything<br />
other than a grass track. It’s<br />
fantastic to see them competing<br />
on a 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 />

Tireless triplets still an online sensation<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<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 />

SPCA farewells gorgeous George<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
GEORGE THE staffordshirecross<br />
who was abused and beaten,<br />
finally has a new home.<br />
He has been adopted after<br />
spending 21 months in the care of<br />
the SPCA, which has been waiting<br />
patiently for a suitable home<br />
for him.<br />
SPCA Christchurch chief<br />
inspector Jamie Hancock said her<br />
team is thrilled for George.<br />
“His new family adore him<br />
and its really sweet to hear how<br />
quickly he has bonded with<br />
them. They’ve already been<br />
following our advice about his<br />
favourite healthy choices, such<br />
as broccoli. It seems the perfect<br />
home was worth the wait,” she<br />
said.<br />
In February 2017, the SPCA<br />
received a complaint that a dog was<br />
being beaten.<br />
The SPCA visited the property<br />
the next day and took possession<br />
of George.<br />
In June, George’s owner<br />
Jade Noanoa, pleaded guilty to<br />
ill-treating an animal. He was<br />
sentenced to three months’ community<br />
detention, ordered to pay<br />
reparations of about $3100 and<br />
was disqualified from owning<br />
dogs for five years.<br />
It was alleged George had been<br />
kicked, punched, strangled,<br />
beaten with weapons, shot at with<br />
a BB gun and verbally abused.<br />
The SPCA said it won’t be<br />
revealing who is George’s new<br />
owner. He is doing “really well<br />
and is very relaxed.”<br />
“He’s met the entire extended<br />
family, he even went to a rest<br />
home for a visit and was a star,<br />
loved all the attention and even<br />
had a nap on the couch. He’s<br />
loving his car rides and has been<br />
visiting the local park,” George’s<br />
new owner told <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong>,<br />
through the SPCA.<br />
GORGEOUS: George gives SPCA senior inspector Sam Cairns a kiss goodbye<br />
after a 21-month wait for adoption.

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

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

The bylaw comes as an increasing<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 bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
