LYTTELTON PORT COMPANY UPDATE 

The Fairway leaves our shores after spending 12 weeks on our Channel Deepening Project. 

One of our bigger projects is 

the deepening of the navigation 

channel, which started in 

August when one of the world’s 

largest dredges, the Fairway, 

arrived in Lyttelton Harbour. 

The Fairway was a fixture 

in Lyttelton Harbour for 12 

weeks, as she worked around 

the clock to widen, lengthen 

and deepen the navigation 

channel. She has dredged more 

than five million cubic metres of 

mud and silt off the sea floor. 

The dredging programme means 

larger container ships, which have 

virtually doubled in size during 

the last 10 years, will now be able 

to call at Lyttelton. Prior to the 

Channel Deepening Project some 

vessels had to wait for high tide 

before they could arrive or depart 

our Port – now larger vessels can 

access the Port at all times.

our Annual Review, if

SUMNER RESIDENTS may

will help fund the security 

cameras they want. 

Safer Sumner has approached 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board for a grant 

of $16,000 after the police were 

unable to fund the cameras. 

The board will make a decision 

in February when it works 

through the grant requests. 

Safer Sumner’s Kath Preston 

said in her submission to the 

board, it was in desperate need 

of support after the cost of the 

cameras skyrocketed from $4000 

to $20,000. 

“The reason why the cost of the 

cameras has gone up is because 

we have had to align our cameras 

with the cameras that the police 

use.” 

The cameras would be 

installed at the entrance to 

Sumner on Main Rd, with one 

camera monitoring incoming 

traffic and one monitoring 

outgoing traffic.

WE TAKE a walk down memory lane on 

pages 6 and 7 today, looking back at the 

old British Hotel, after the recent closure of 

the Hell Fire Club. 

Every port has its rough and tumble 

pubs and in Lyttelton it would be fair to say the British has its 

conveyor belt of great old stories. 

No doubt other pubs in Lyttelton have had theirs, too. 

Our headline: ‘Bikies, booze, brawls’ does fairly well sum up 

the British. If anyone was looking for a decent scrap, there’d be 

plenty of takers there. 

As former seaman Jack Mahoney mentioned: “Someone was 

saying to me the other day after the world title fight, I’ve seen a 

better fight in the British and they’re not wrong.”

Akaroa rock not suitable for drilling 

DEEP-BORE injection is 

unlikely to be a suitable method 

for disposing of Akaroa’s treated 

wastewater, test drilling has 

shown. 

The city council has completed 

drilling at two sites on the outskirts 

of Akaroa. 

Test drilling and site remediation 

cost 

$550,000. At 

this stage, 

there are no 

plans to do 

more drilling. 

The first 

hole, on Old 

Kylie Hills 

French Rd, 

was drilled 

to a depth of 

250m. 

The second hole, at the site of 

the new wastewater treatment 

plant at the top of Old Coach Rd, 

was drilled to a depth of 150m. 

Senior project manager 

Kylie Hills said the drilling 

showed the rock to be highly 

competent (lightly fractured) 

basalt and tuff (a mix of rock 

and volcanic ash). 

“We wanted to know if the 

area around Akaroa was suitable 

for deep-bore injection,” Mr 

Hills said. 

“We found some fracturing, 

but the fractures across the target 

depths were high in mineral 

deposits, which had in-filled and 

restricted many of the flow paths 

through the rock.” 

The city council is looking at 

options for recycling Akaroa’s 

wastewater before its consent 

to discharge into the harbour 

expires in 2020. 

Options include reusing the 

treated wastewater to irrigate 

trees or pasture in nearby areas, 


WASTE: Consent to discharge wastewater into Akaroa Harbour expires in 2020, but deep-bore 

injection has been ruled out.

or to provide non-drinking 

water for garden watering and 

toilet flushing in Akaroa. 

Deep-bore was also being 

investigated. 

But Mr Hills said it would take 

many more holes than expected 

to achieve the flow rate needed 

to dispose of the town’s wastewater, 

making it much more 

expensive than other options 

available. 

Mr Hills said the core 

recovered from the first 

hole is now on loan to the 

Canterbury University’s 

geology department. 

“They’re pretty interested in 

it because it’s the only drill core 

ever recovered at these depths 

from the Akaroa area,” he said. 

“It offers a unique insight into 

the volcanic history of Banks 

Peninsula.”

Lifeguard 

brings his 

specialised 

skills back 

to Sumner 

SUMNER’S JAKE Simpson was 

one of 20 top volunteer surf life 

savers to attend the National 

Lifeguard School over the 

weekend. 

He received an advanced lifeguard 

award at the school in New 

Plymouth, which was run by Surf 

Life Saving New Zealand. 

Based at the Fitzroy Surf Life 

Saving Club, the three-day school 

takes top volunteer surf lifeguards 

and teaches them advanced skills 

including rock rescues, helicopter 

operations, advanced first-aid and 

rigorous fitness challenges. 

All participants take the 

specialised skills back to their 

beaches, where they will ultimately 

help save lives and help 

keep beach-goers safe during the 

holiday season. 

Hamish Clayton from Waihi 

Beach took home the highlyvalued 

top candidate award.

Belinda Slement said Hamish

deadhead roses, trim hedges,

They are just some of many

For more than 30 years, 

the trust has worked to 

conserve and restore native 

bush that the public can access 

through an extensive 32km 

network of walking tracks, 

including a section that makes 

up part of the Banks Peninsula 

walk. 

Well-known botanist Hugh 

Wilson, 73, who is a member 

of the trust and manages the 

Friends secretary Jenny 

Hoskin said the group’s overarching 

goal is to keep the 

gardens looking good and make 

them an inviting place to be. 

“We feel very strongly that 

reserve, said even though it 

is privately-owned it is freely 

open to the public and attracts 

between 6000-8000 visitors a 

year. 

That includes about 2500 

people walking the Banks

Slippery steps take their toll on ferry users 


DIAMOND Harbour residents 

are calling for urgent action to 

make their jetty safer. 

The jetty’s slippery steps which 

are coated in moss and seaweed 

have led to several accidents and 

near misses. 

But the city council’s planned 

upgrade of the jetty is not 

expected to be completed by 

2022.

“Last week a woman had told 

me she had slipped over and 

when we had a look under her 

jeans she had completely taken 

the skin of her shins.” 

Diamond Harbour resident 

Kay Huband said her five-yearold 

son almost fell into the water 

after slipping on the steps. 

Black Cat Cruises chief executive 

Paul Milligan said the steps 

had been a problem since the 

ferry company started transporting 

people from Lyttelton to 

Diamond Harbour in 1999. 

Diamond Harbour Residents’ 


TOURISTS IN Akaroa have 

been flooding into the toilets of 

local businesses due to a lack of 

facilities in the area. 

Owner of the Akaroa Ciné 

Café David Hamilton said 50 

to 60 tourists on average would 

use his toilets in a day, with the 

majority of them not actually 

buying anything. 

“We do have a sign up saying it 

is for patrons only, but they just 

read it and walk past.” 


Association chairman Richard 

Suggate said something needed 

to be done now. 

“The council should do 

something because there have 

been enough incidents that keep 

repeating themselves.” 

Deputy Mayor and Banks 

Peninsula councillor Andrew 

Turner said the city council 

was taking steps to improve the 

state of the jetty in the short 

term. 

“They get cleaned on a sixweek 

cycle but that clearly hasn’t 

worked. We are also working 

towards putting some plastic 

netting on the helm.” 

Things were made worse 

when the city council removed 

five portaloos at the start of the 

month before 7816 cruise ship 

passengers and crew arrived in 

the area. 

The city council has since 

installed a toilet block on the end 

of the wharf. 

Mr Hamilton, however, 

was not convinced this would 

stop tourists from abusing his 

facilities. 

“After refusing to buy 

anything, I have had

refuse to leave.” 

Mr Hamilton said the 

behaviour of tourists was putting

clientele from visiting his cinema 

and cafe. 

“There’s definitely a lack of

Lyttelton’s British Hotel: Bikies, 

The bar that occupied 

the basement in the old 

British Hotel building 

has lost its liquor 

licence and closed. 

Julia Evans looks back 

on the colourful history 

of the iconic Lyttelton 

landmark 

FOR THE last 71 years, the 

British Hotel has been a watering 

hole for sailors, Lyttelton locals, 

cross-dressers, punk rockers, 

Epitaph Riders motorcycle gang 

members and even Iggy Pop. 

But, while the bar in the hotel 

on the corner of Norwich Quay 

and Oxford St – most recently 

known as the Hell Fire Club – 

has closed its doors for now, it is 

remembered for its history. 

The British Hotel first opened 

in 1874, and was named after its 

predominantly United Kingdombased 

clientele. 

It reopened in 1947 after a 

fire and, ever since, the hotel 

has been home to a number of 

infamous bars – most notably 

The Dive. 

Other incarnations have 

included El Santo Porteno before 

the quakes, the Back Bar and the 

British Basement. 

HISTORY: The British Hotel has had a long and colourful history since it opened in 1947 on the 

corner of Lyttelton’s Norwich Quay and Oxford St. 

Former sailor Jack Mahoney 

lived and drank at the hotel every 

day for 17 years from 1960 when 

he wasn’t at sea. 

“The best part was the great 

people who lived there. There 

aren’t many of them left, but they 

were good people.” 

But there was a flip side, in 

which the bar earned a notorious 

reputation for fights. 

“There were quite a few fights, 

but no one really got hurt. A 

punch on the chin never hurt 

anyone.” 

He said boxers like Joesph 

Parker would not have held their 

own at the British. 

“Someone was saying to me 

the other day after the world title 

fight, I’ve seen a better fight in the 

British and they’re not wrong.” 

The bar was notorious for after 

hours parties with black out curtains 

pulled so the police couldn’t 

see what was going on inside. 

“On Sundays, when the ferry 

was in, all the boys would come 

up from the ferry and start 

drinking, which was a big no, no 

on Sundays, but we covered for 

them,” Mr Mahoney said. 

“I was playing pool and the 

next thing I get a tap on the 

shoulder by the senior sergeant. I 

told him they were my guests . . . 

and gave him phoney names.” 

Mr Mahoney said the next 

minute the police were back and 

asking for the names – which he 

couldn’t remember. 

“But he left it. They knew it was 

better off them drinking there 

than on the streets.” 

Canada native Guy Daigneault 

owned the hotel from 1961-1974, 

he opened the Back Bar in 1967, 

when 6pm drinking restrictions 

were lifted. 

“The place was so well-known

booze, brawls . . . and Iggy Pop 

But Mr Daigneault said he 

had “to sleep with one eye open” 

as the place was renowned for 

fighting. 

To this day, blood remains 

on the roof from a knife fight 

between Russian seamen. 

“Most of the violence was 

locals, not even 

the seamen 

like everyone 

thought,” he 

said. 

Mr 

Daigneault said 

some of the 

Rebecca 

Lovell-Smith 

best days of his 

life were spent 

there. 

“I chose to 

raise my four kids there. But it 

was hard work, I devoted my life 

to that pub . . . I spent a lot of 

money doing it up.” 

The lease was taken over by 

late Lyttelton legends, Hilary and 

Jack McKenna, throughout the 

1970s and 80s. 

Mr Mahoney said the McKennas 

and Mr Daigneault took him in 

and treated him like family. 

During their stint, the hotel 

became home to the first gay bar 

in the city. 

The British was divided into 

three separate bars. The Back Bar 

COLOURFUL: Everyone from Lyttelton locals to seamen and 

motor-cycle gang members have visited the British Hotel. 

– the gay bar out the back, The 

Dive – which was down in the 

basement and upstairs a bar for 

Lyttelton locals. 

The hotel made its mark 

throughout the 80s by hosting 

early gigs of The Androidss and 

Louie and the Hotsticks. 

Famously, United States punk 

icon Iggy Pop watched The 

Androidss play there in 1979. 

Their set included a cover of 

Iggy Pop’s The Passenger and he 

shared a whisky with them at the 

bar afterwards. 

“They’re tough as bitches, but 

they’re beautiful,” Iggy Pop was 

quoted by The Press. 

In the same decade, it was 

often filled with members of the 

Epitaph Riders motor-cycle gang. 

The gang was formed in 

Christchurch in 1969 and was involved 

in the country’s first gang 

war with the Devils Henchmen 

in 1974. 

But the building was closed after 

the February 22, 2011, earthquake, 

before it was saved from 

the bulldozer in 2015 by Rebecca 

Lovell-Smith and her husband, 

Christian Carruthers. 

Almost daily, former patrons 

stopped by the hotel to tell tales 

of its history. 

Ms Lovell-Smith said it was 

moments like that which made 

the building’s ongoing restoration 

worth while. 

“I get a lot of people who come 

out just to talk to you about their 

experiences. I had a sailor or a 

fisherman just yesterday tell me 

stories about how he used to stay 

there when he was in port. He 

said he remembers the publican 

falling down the stairs,” she said. 

And she promises pints will be 

pulled in the basement again. 

“We just need to do a bit more 

work. But even next year something 

will be there,” she said. 

“We want to honour all the 

different stages of the bar from 

way back, to more recently. It’s 

a good place that has good 

bands.”

buildings in 2002, ensuring 

its resources were 

well-equipped to save lives 

at sea. 

Anji

Crime camera funding 

•From page 1 

The plan for the cameras 

was prompted by a spate 

of aggravated burglaries in 

Sumner and Mt Pleasant 

last year. 

A 31-year-old man was 

jailed for three years in 

relation to them and other 

offences. 

Ms Preston said additional 

cameras would also 

be needed with Sumner Rd 

expected to reopen next 

year, which is expected to 

cost an additional $20,000. 

“When we started 

going down this track it 

was nearly two years ago 

and at that point, we didn’t 

know if the road was going 

to reopen.” 

Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community 

Board member and city 

councillor Sara Templeton 

supported the installation 

of security cameras. 

“I know that this is a 

real issue in the area with 

a range of burglaries and 

incidents with cars, trailers 

and boats.” 

Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community 

Board member Darrell 

Latham said the cameras 

would only be part of the 

solution. 

“From my perspective, 

the cameras must be complemented 

by a sufficient 

level of monitoring from 

a credible organisation, 

that is the New Zealand 

Police.”

Brutally Honest 

by Melanie Brown 

The tell-all memoir from the loudest, proudest Spice Girl - 

and the truth behind the headlines 

As one-fifth of the iconic Spice Girls and judge on X Factor 

and America’s Got Talent, Melanie Brown, a.k.a Scary 

Spice, has been an international star since her twenties. 

Brutally Honest is an expose of the struggles and acute pain 

that lay behind the glamour and success. 

With deep personal insight, remarkable frankness and 

trademark Yorkshire humour, the book removes the mask 

of fame and reveals the true story behind the Spice Girls, as 

well as the horror of her most recent marriage and her 10 

year struggle to be free.

Warrior 

by Simon Mannering 

Simon Mannering is one of elite sport’s great enigmas. From 

2005 to 2018 he was a regular fixture in the Warriors and 

Kiwis rugby league teams and has captained both. He is one 

of only a handful of players to have played 300 NRL games 

for one club and, remarkably, he’s the only one who has ever 

done it flying back and forth across the Tasman every second 

weekend. Yet little is known about him as he shuns the spotlight 

and seldom does interviews. 

Warriors and former All Blacks doctor John Mayhew rates 

Simon alongside Richie McCaw and Buck Shelford for sheer 

toughness and his ability to play through pain and illness is 

legendary. 

While the Warriors have been up and down over the years, 

Simon Mannering has maintained a consistently high standard 

of play and regularly led tackle counts. 

Yet he was not a sporting prodigy. In Warrior, Simon explains 

how he transformed himself from a sports-mad kid with 

mediocre talents into one of the greats of New Zealand sport.

A Diamond in the Dust 

by Frauke Bolten-Boshammer 

The powerful true story of how one woman turned outback dust 

into a diamond empire. 

Within minutes of landing in Kununurra, Frauke Bolten had made 

up her mind to get on a plane back home to Germany. The dusty 

frontier town was no place for a woman. However, Frauke stayed, 

determined to help her husband carve out a new life farming. 

Tragedy struck just three years later when Friedrich took his own 

life and she was left to raise their family alone. 

Twenty-six years after she sold her first necklace, Kimberley Fine 

Diamonds in Kununurra is now home to one of the world’s largest 

collections of Argyle pink diamonds, with a client list that includes 

Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Frauke is credited for not only 

pioneering an industry, but for putting the tiny outback town and its 

precious diamonds on the map. 

A Diamond in the Dust is a tale of love and loss, hardship and 

heartache, but ultimately the inspiring story of how a young girl 

from Germany overcame tragedy to pioneer a diamond empire in 

one of the most unforgiving terrains on earth. 

The Rescuers 

by Laura Greaves 

Dogs are renowned for their loyalty, and those saved from 

animal shelters or rescue groups seem to be especially 

devoted to the humans who have offered them a second 

chance. In this extraordinary collection, meet the brave 

dogs that have shown incredible courage – even risking 

death – to protect their people. 

There’s Leala, the Staffy who raced for help when her 

two-year-old owner fell in a dam; Buddy, the labrador who 

licked his owner awake to save her from a house fire; and 

Brian, the pit bull who valiantly fought off three other dogs 

to protect his owner. 

From unforgettable moments of courage to heart-warming 

tales of true loyalty, these are the stories of some of the 

most heroic rescue dogs in the world.

The

1993 the foundation has

The foundation was the 

vision of former Sumner resident 

Dora Grut, who married 

a Canadian and moved to 

Vancouver. 

In 1991, she donated 

$10,500 to start the Sumner

The Vancouver Foundation

Lyttelton band to hold benefit 

concert for seafarers centre 


LYTTELTON country band 

The Eastern is holding a benefit 

concert with proceeds going 

towards the Lyttelton Seafarers 

Centre. 

The Light House Benefit 

Concert will be held on December 

22 at Blue Smoke in 

Woolston. 

Chairman of the Lyttelton 

Seafarers Centre Charitable Trust 

Reverend John McLister said the 

centre was seriously underfunded 

and the proceeds made from the 

concert would go a long way in 

ensuring they could continue to 

support seafarers. 

The centre has had over 10,000 

visits from seafarers docking in 

Lyttelton since it opened three 

years ago. 

The centre provides seafarers 

with assistance, amenities, care, 

support and Wi-Fi so they can 

speak to their family back home. 

Rev McLister said seafarers 

were often poorly paid and 

exploited by the companies that 

they worked for. 

He spoke of the experience of a 

HELPING HAND: Chairman of the Lyttelton Seafarers Centre 

Charitable Trust Reverend John McLister with three seamen 

from China. 

Filipino seafarer called Benji. 

“For every US$100 he converts 

into Kiwi dollars, Benji is $40 out 

of pocket on the exchange rate.” 

Rev McLister said without the 

support of the community, the 

centre would struggle to continue 

to help seafarers like Benji. 

“Last month, that man wanted 

to go to the city, so he called a 

taxi. The taxi driver charged him 

US$100 for a ride into town. That 

is 10 per cent of what Benji earns 

in a month” 

Sumner library to close over Xmas 

REPAIRS: The Sumner Library will close on Christmas Eve. 

SUMNER LIBRARY will be 

closed between Christmas and 

New Year to allow work to be 

done to fix “minor defects” on the 

building. 

The Matuku Takotako: Sumner 

Centre will close on Christmas 

Eve and reopen on New Year’s 

Eve. 

“We’re taking the opportunity 

over the Christmas period to allow 

contractors to complete some 

work on the polished ground 

floor,” city council head of libraries 

and information Carolyn 

Robertson said. 

“The work is part of some 

minor defects still outstanding 

from when the facility was built 

in 2017, and is a normal part of 

any new build.” 

Ms Robertson said the Christmas 

holiday period was chosen 

to cause as little disruption to the 

community as possible. 

“All the other Christchurch 

City Libraries in the network are 

staying open between Christmas 

and New Year, so people can still 

have plenty of options for getting 

their holiday fix of library items 

and services.” 

Normal hours at the Matuku 

Takotako: Sumner Centre will 

resume from January 3, after the 

New Year holidays. 

CAROL SINGING in Lyttelton 

is set for a return this Christmas 

after a seven-year absence. 

Three of Lyttelton’s historic 

churches were destroyed in the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake, 

putting an end to the longstanding 

custom of carol singing 

at church. 

However, after the reopening 

of the restored St Saviour’s 

Anglican Church, Lyttelton residents 

will have the opportunity 

to sing Christmas carols again 

on Friday. 

Vicar of the Lyttelton Parish 

John McLister said he was 

delighted to see a Lyttelton 

tradition of over 150 years be 

restored.

JINGLE BELLS: St Saviour’s Anglican Church will hold 

Christmas carols, the first time a church has hosted carols in 

Lyttelton for seven years. 

Carol singing to return 

to Lyttelton church 

“It will be lovely to see this 

tradition return to Lyttelton, 

there is something magical 

about singing carols in a church 

surrounded by stained-glass 

windows and with candles 

burning. Before the quakes, 

all the local churches had 

carol services. The midnight 

Christmas service was a bit of a 

Lyttelton institution.” 

Carols will be held in the 

church at 7pm, 17 Winchester St. 

Music from The Saints 

Youth Orchestra and Irish music 

from The Rice Paddies will be on 

offer. 

Mulled wine will be served 

and there will be a prize for best

Learning to share stuff 

OF ALL THE things I 

expected to deal with 

as a stay-at-home-dad, 

Vittoria being mean to 

another baby was not one 

of them. 

Maybe that was a foolish 

assumption, I don’t know, 

I’ve only got the one kid 

remember. 

What are you supposed 

to do in that situation? 

And what is the other parent 

supposed to do? 

Is there a book on this? 

On Tuesday I took Vittoria 

to a Plunket playgroup 

in Papanui on the advice of 

a fellow full-time dad. 

It was an enjoyable 

morning, the sun was out 

and there was plenty of 

toys and other kids for Vittoria 

to play with. 

During the course of her 

rambling about exploring, 

she went inside and sat 

next to another wee lass, 

only a couple of months 

younger than her who was 

playing with a book. 

So, naturally, she steals 

said book off the poor kid. 

The other baby’s mum 

was really good about it, 

even told her daughter to 

share. 

However, Vittoria was 

not satisfied with just taking 

her book. Oh no, she 

started grabbing anything 

this kid was holding, 

ignoring my vain pleas for

her to desist or share. 

Eventually the other 

baby got sick of Vittoria’s 

shtick and went to grab her 

book back. 

Vittoria promptly hit her 

in the head with it. 

I was mortified, I’d never 

seen her hit anyone else 

before (she’s hit me heaps, 

but not in anger). 

The wee lass started 

crying and I profusely 

apologised to the mum 

We will deliver! 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

and told Vittoria off – but I 

don’t know if I did enough? 

Vittoria’s had bigger kids 

do similar to her and I 

didn’t know what I should 

have done then either. 

Other people’s kids seem 

like a minefield topic. 

Either way, I took Vittoria 

back outside to where 

there were older kids than 

her so she couldn’t cause 

any more grief. 

I suppose I’ll get better at 

this, I really don’t think I 

want a bully for a daughter, 

regardless of how dang 

cute she is. 

In a much nicer update, 

we took Vittoria to the 

recent Santa Parade in the 

city. 

I’m stoked the old floats 

like Mother Goose and the 

Haunted House are still 

about. I haven’t been to a 

parade in quite a few years 

so it was cool to see the old 

classics and share them 

with Vittoria.

a must-do family event for 

13 years and it’s returning

The festival will be held 

over two action-packed 

days with live music, tasty

and exhilarating 

races. 

Banks Peninsula Trotting 

Club spokeswoman 

Wendy Muldrew says the 

Interislander Summer 

Festival has grown in 

popularity year on year, 

establishing itself as a notto-be-missed 

event on the 

Banks Peninsula calendar. 

“Banks Peninsula 

residents look forward to 

the festival and this year 

is no exception. Heading 

to the races with friends 

and whānau has become 

a summer tradition here 

in Banks Peninsula,” she 

said. 

The youngest race-goers 

can expect activities ranging 

from bouncy castles 

and sack racing to junior 

fashion shows. 

The festival offers a full 

day of affordable entertainment 

with free entry 

for children under 17 and

did not want anyone who did not

“I think we all know it can

There will be a barbecue and

Ms Bartlett said everyone will 

be welcome. 

“We know that there are a wide

Deck the halls 

Christmas isn’t Christmas without a decoration or two around the home. 

Whether its outdoor lights with a waving Santa or 

just draping tinsel across your mantelpiece, there are 

many ways to celebrate the festive season in your home. 

Go natural 

Driftwood painted white with LED lights wrapped 

around, or pine cones with a touch of silver spray 

paint, make beautiful natural additions to the home 

at this time of year. If you have a tree branch around 

the home, why not cut it up into discs and spray paint 

white stars and reindeer on the disc. Drill a hole in the 

top and thread some gardeners string through the hole 

and you have an instant decoration to hang on the tree 

or somewhere around the home. Cover polystyrene 

balls in ripped linen, hessian and cotton strips. These 

can either be hung up or a number placed in a bowl on 

the table. 

Tinsel town 

Many love the glitter and sparkle that tinsel brings 

but how about using it in different ways. A threetiered 

cake plate with tinsel laid on each plate with 

baubles then placed on top, can look really impressive 

as a centrepiece for the table. Make your own wreath

by wrapping tinsel around and around a polystyrene 

circle. Hang just as it is, or hot glue gun baubles on to 

create extra wow. 

Table setting 

Sometimes the simplest decorations on the table 

can look the most stunning. A beautiful napkin rolled 

up with a piece of red and white ribbon, or rosemary 

wreath looks amazing. Why not place a hessian runner 

down the middle of the table and add greenery and 

candles in jars on top to create a wonderful centrepiece. 

If you have a children’s eating table, why not put a 

long piece of brown paper as a table cloth. Draw large 

circles where the plates can go and write Christmas 

questions beside each plate outline. A little bottle with 

a red and white paper straw is great too. Put a jar of 

red and green crayons on the table. When the kids are 

finished their dinner, they can play noughts and crosses 

or hangman or just draw pictures.

technique to make sure your home looks like a

WITH MARY IN FAITH 

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD 

This year has been particularly special in that so many of our past students and staff 

have responded to our call to join a new group. Named Rauru, the group has been 

formed to strengthen and support our Marian College community. Past students and 

staff of Marian College, St Mary’s College (Christchurch) and McKillop College, are 

warmly invited to register for Rauru and help us shape the future of Marian. 

Collective dialogue and strategic visioning are underway as we prepare for a new 

school. Work includes development of a brief to ensure our Special Catholic Character, 

values and culture are captured and reflected in our new school. 

We appreciate Marian College is part of the bigger picture and we support the Bishop 

in taking due care of process and in making informed decisions for the benefit of the 

Catholic Diocese of Christchurch as a whole. The old saying is true – good things 

take time. 

Thank you to our Board of Trustees, our school staff and community, and members of 

the Marian Foundation for your support and fantastic work throughout 2018. 

To our Marian girls – relax and enjoy a well-earned holiday. We look forward to 

having you back refreshed, inspired and ready for 2019 at Marian College. 

And finally, congratulations to our 2018 Marian leavers: 

we wish you all the very best and please stay in touch. 

Wishing you good health and blessings this Christmas. 

Jan Paterson 

Marian College Board of Trustees 

THE GIFT OF GIVING 

Our Young Vinnies Group helps support the important work of the 

Society of St Vincent de Paul. Recently the group spent a lunchtime 

wrapping Christmas presents for the Vinnie’s Christmas Party for 

people in need. 

Marian College has a long tradition of service. Both students and staff 

members are actively involved and contribute positively to the wider 

community. All students complete at least six hours of meaningful 

service within the school and community every year. 

PRIZE WINNERS 

WHIRLWIND 

WOW TRIP 

Congratulations to Catherine Ryan (right) 

and Louise Daly (left) who have been 

awarded 2018 Marian College dux and 

proxime accessit respectively. 

Marian College Principal Mary-Lou 

Davidson says major prize winners 

demonstrate exceptional performance 

and dedication across all aspects of life 

at Marian College – in academia, special 

character, leadership, music, sport, 

environment, culture and service. 

The Marian College PTA Grace Awards 

are very special awards for senior students 

who quietly go about their learning, being 

kind and caring, participating in school 

life and sometimes managing through 

challenges. These students often go ‘under 

the radar’ and as the award criteria says 

– they just get on with school and are not 

always officially recognised. This year 

Grace Awards were presented to Mia

and Hannah Manalaysay.

IT’S 

BUSINESS TIME! 

Recently, Year 10 Marian College 

students had the opportunity to pitch 

their business ideas to a panel of judges 

as part of the three-day Young Enterprise 

BP Business Challenge programme. 

The hands-on learning event creates 

opportunities for students to develop 

their skills, engage with local business 

people and learn how a good business 

works. The programme covers learning 

in English, Mathematics and Statistics, 

Social Sciences, Digital Technology and 

Commerce subjects. 

Described by some as the highlight 

of the year, senior students studying 

textiles at Marian College have the 

opportunity to travel to Wellington for a 

two-day whirlwind WOWtrip. The group 

experienced the World of WearableArt 

Awards Show, explored two tertiary 

institutes offering textile and design 

programmes and visited the Beehive. 

“The show was incredible with amazing 

outfits and dancers. This was a wonderful 

way to end the term,” says Year 12 Marian 

College student Phoebe O’Regan. 

The group also attended the Suffrage 125 

exhibition Whakatū Wāhine at Museum of 

New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

Boy Erased 

A Memoir of Identity, Faith, and Family 

by Garrard Conley 

The son of a Baptist pastor and deeply embedded in church life 

in small town Arkansas, as a young man Garrard Conley was 

terrified and conflicted about his sexuality. 

When Garrard was a nineteen-year-old college student, he was 

outed to his parents, and was forced to make a life-changing 

decision: either agree to attend a church-supported conversion 

therapy program that promised to “cure” him of homosexuality; or risk 

losing family, friends, and the God he had prayed to every day of his 

life. Through an institutionalised Twelve-Step Program heavy on Bible study, he was 

supposed to emerge heterosexual, ex-gay, cleansed of impure urges and stronger in his 

faith in God for his brush with sin. Instead, even when faced with a harrowing and brutal 

journey, Garrard found the strength and understanding to break out in search of his true 

self and forgiveness. 

By confronting his buried past and the burden of a life lived in shadow, Garrard traces 

the complex relationships among family, faith, and community. At times heartbreaking, 

at times triumphant, this memoir is a testament to love that survives despite all odds. 

She Was The Quiet One 

by Michele Campbell 

The gripping new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Michele Campbell 

Because murderers are never who you expect… 

She was the quiet one… but is she guilty? 

For twin sisters Rose and Bel, enrolling at the prestigious new boarding school 

should have been a fresh start. But with its sinister rituals and traditions, Odell 

soon brings out a deadly rivalry between the sisters. 

For Sarah and husband Heath, the chance to teach at Odell seems like the best 

thing that ever happened to their small family – a chance to rise through the ranks 

and put the past behind them. 

Until one dark night ends in murder. 

But who’s guilty and who’s telling the truth? And who’s been in on it all along..?

I’M LOOKING out over the 

Opawaho/Heathcote River as I 

think about this column. 

The willows are resplendent 

in their greenery, the birdlife is 

out in force and in chorus, and 

nature is signalling the approach 

of Christmas. 

And, of course, as our work 

lives wind down, our family 

lives are winding up as we 

frantically buy presents, set 

menus, and try and lose that 

last pound, knowing that pound 

will be replaced with five more 

after Christmas Day. And we 

wouldn’t change this for the 

world. 

Because Christmas is a time 

to put aside the weight of the 

world, put on some weight, and 

focus on family, friends and 

a small period of feasting to 

celebrate a year that will have 

been many things to us all. 

For me, 2018 has seen a 

dramatic change from being

Opposition. And it’s been a time 

of renewal for my wife Chris 

and I as we’ve thought about 

what being in opposition means 

and how we can still make a 

difference for the Port Hills and 

for New Zealand. I’ve embraced 

the opportunity and can’t wait 

for 2019. 

It’s also an appropriate 

moment to acknowledge what 

we are all trying to achieve, 

whether we are on one political 

side or the other – and that 

is a better life for all New 

Zealanders. So I would like 

to wish my Parliamentary 

colleagues, Ruth Dyson and 

Eugenie Sage and their families, 

a merry Christmas. 

And from my whanau to you 

all – a very merry Christmas. 

If you’re heading away for the 

holidays, I hope you travel safely 

and get the rest and relaxation 

you’ve worked so hard for this 

year. And for those who are 

staying here, well, I often ask 

myself why I would want to 

head away from the loveliest 

part of Christchurch – the Port 

Hills. Enjoy all the pleasures of 

our beautiful electorate over the 

Christmas holiday break.

CHRISTMAS IS not far away 

and for those of you who are 

thinking about what to buy your 

boatie husband, wife, boyfriend, 

girlfriend, daughter or son, here 

are some ideas from Gary, Santa’s 

new boating adviser. 

1. A new lifejacket. Throw the 

old kapok one away and get a 

modern lifejacket that will keep 

your loved one afloat should you 

end up in the water. Go to your 

local boating retailer and ensure 

you buy the right jacket for the 

type of boating they will partake 

in. Make sure there is a crotch 

strap fitted. 

2. A waterproof hand-held 

VHF radio. This is a must and 

can be purchased at any good 

boat shop or chandler. 

3. A personal locator beacon 

(PLB). For those boating in lakes 

or areas where there is no cellphone 

coverage, these are a musthave 

item. Remember to register 

them when purchased, all the 

information is in the instructions. 

4. First-aid kit. This is a nobrainer; 

every boat should have 

one. 

5. Sunscreen. It might seem 

silly, but nothing can spoil a day 

quicker than sunburn. 

6. Wind and waterproof jacket. 

Sometimes the weather can turn, 

even if the forecast was initially 

good. Hypothermia is not something 

you want. 

7. A good pair of sunglasses. 

The glare on the water is not good 

for visibility or the eyes. 

8. A thermos so you can either 

have a nice cuppa or cold drink 

on hand. 

9. A boating safety course. 

Put this list somewhere safe, 

give the items some thought, 

leave a note for Santa, and I am 

sure he will be able to assist. On 

that note, remember two things: 

“If you can’t be heard, you can’t 

be helped” and “nobody’s faster 

than disaster.” 

Take care out there. Have a 

great Christmas and New Year.

Heathcote chasing historic season 

• By Gordon Findlater 

HEATHCOTE CRICKET Club 

are one win away from becoming 

the first winners of metro 

cricket’s one-day championship. 

On Sunday, Heathcote defeated 

St Albans by 125 runs in 

their metro championship semifinal 

at Heathcote Domain. The 

win means they will now host 

Merivale-Papanui in the championship 

final on Sunday. 

The championship grade was 

established this year, replacing 

the former senior A grade. The 

championship consists of some 

former teams from the senior A 

grade, such as Heathcote, and 

reserve teams from some of the 

bigger premiership clubs. 

Heathcote are also looking 

like early favourites to gain 

promotion to the premiership 

at the end of the summer. The 

top overall side on points from 

the one-day, T20, and two-day 

formats in the championship will 

have the option to move to the 

premiership next summer. 

“That’s been the objective since 

the start of the season. We’re off 

to a really good start and feel we 

have a really complete team more 

than capable of winning promotion,” 

said Heathcote bowler Ben 

Cochrane. 

Batting first on Sunday, Heathcote 

got off to a bright start. 

Captain Jordan Horrell and Matt 

House put on an opening stand 

of 53. Horrell went on to make 

ON A ROLL: Heathcote are one win away from capturing 

the one-day championship title and going unbeaten in the 

competition. 

52, while No 3 Nick Durham 

top-scored with 76. 

Healthy contributions from 

the lower order, highlighted by 

a quick fire 31 from 20 deliveries 

by Craig Davenport, helped 

Heathcote through to a healthy 

total of 257/7 from their 50 overs. 

In defending their total, two 

wickets in the opening four overs 

to Cochrane and Nick Turner 

put Heathcote on the front foot. 

Consistent wicket-taking meant 

St Albans were unable to ever 

mount any real challenge, with 

just two players scoring more 

than 20. 

Heathcote dismissed St Albans 

in the 36th over for 132. Tom 

Payne was the best of the bowlers 

with 3-20, Turner picked up 

3-32, while Cochrane finished 

with 2-25. 

That continued an unbeaten 

run for Heathcote in the one-day 

competition after recording eight 

wins in the round-robin. 

It was a busy weekend for 

SPORTS 

Heathcote. On Saturday they 

increased their promotion hopes 

with a strong opening day in 

their two-day match with East 

Christchurch Shirley. 

Heathcote hold a strong first 

innings lead after batting first 

and scoring 245. Payne top 

scored with 75, while Horrell 

contributed 57. Young Shirley 

Boys’ High School seamer Marek 

Bungard then did the damage,

with an impressive 7-22 as he 

helped his side roll East Shirley 

for 107. 

Meanwhile, Sumner have 

a first innings lead in their 

two-day match against Merivale- 

Papanui at Edgar MacIntosh 

Park. After electing to bowl 

first Sumner dismissed their 

opposition for 154. Jonny 

Percasky 4-51 and Dan Vann 

3-41, were the best of the 

bowlers. 

Sumner just managed to 

eclipse the total in their first 

innings. Opener George Moore 

top-scored with 65.

Motoring 

• By Ross Kiddie 

MY WIFE will tell you I’m not a 

big fan of supermarkets, and she 

is right, I see them as a necessary 

evil. 

However, there is one thing 

that I find favour with, and that is 

when it comes to pay, the item is 

scanned through the barcode and 

that is what it costs. 

It should be that simple when it 

comes to buying cars – one price, 

no discounts, what you see on the 

price tag is what you pay. 

Honda has utilised that price 

promise concept for several years, 

and it’s been very successful for 

the company, people rock up and 

there is no need to talk turkey 

over the price. 

Toyota, too, have just incorporated 

that method of selling and 

judging by recent sales figures it’s 

keeping Toyota in a comfortable 

position as the end-of-year sales 

figures roll in. 

Toyota’s success this year has 

also been buoyed by the arrival 

of a new Corolla, a car which 

doesn’t look that much different 

to that of the previous generation, 

but underneath it has had some 

significant changes for comfort, 

safety and driveability. 

The Corolla lands with a choice 

of five different models, two of 

those are hybrid. Regular readers 

will recall my hybrid evaluation 

at the beginning of last month, 

and it served to convince me that 

hybrids are a viable future as we 

head into the electric revolution. 

However, this evaluation surrounds 

the mid-spec SX model 

which has a traditional power 

plant, a 2-litre four-cylinder 

petrol engine. Gone is the 1.8-litre 

unit of the previous generation; 

in the name of progress, the new 

power plant is more refined than 

before, has more power and marginally 

greater fuel economy. 

Toyota rates the new engine 

with 125kW at the top end and 

200Nm of torque, up 21 per cent 

and 15 per cent respectively. The 

points of delivery are quite tall 

in the rev band – 6600rpm and 

4800rpm, however, such are the 

overall outputs there is still a 

broad spread of power. Take into 


Nothing has changed in Corolla – except everything 

TOYOTA COROLLA SX: No-haggle price of $32,490 

account as well, the engine drives 

through a paddle-shift continuously 

variable transmission which 

is stepped through 10 points, 

which means the engine isn’t 

loaded. 

Together there is good harmony 

and fluid response to accelerator 

input. The engine feels quite zingy 

and strong, it works the rev band 

freely and, I guess, you’d expect 

nothing less, Toyota has built millions 

of Corolla engines and I’d be 

surprised if it didn’t feel right. 

It is also an engine which is 

light on fuel use. That’s a necessary 

criteria in these days of wayward 

fuel prices. Toyota claims 

a six-litre per 100km (47mpg) 

combined cycle average, which 

sits well with the fuel usage readout 

in the test car. It was showing 

a constant 7.2l/100km (39mpg) 

• Price – Toyota Corolla SX,

during a mix of pre-Christmas 

inner-city driving and a Port Hills 

loop. At 100km/h the engine 

is working over slowly at just 

1500rpm, returning an instantaneous 

fuel usage consumption of 

just 4.5l/100km (63mpg). 

My wife had a work Christmas 

function to attend in Barrys Bay, 

so the Corolla was used to travel 

to that event. 

The Christchurch/Akaroa 

Highway isn’t my favourite piece 

of road given the volume of traffic, 

but the Corolla responded 

well on the few overtaking 

opportunities that presented 

themselves. An overtaking time 

of 6.8sec is possible (80km/h- 

120km/h), while from a standstill 

it will also launch to 100km/h in 

9.2sec. 

Those figures give you some 

indication of its zest and ability. It 

also handles nicely with beautiful 

steering and strong steering 

feedback. That’s no surprise, 

over the years Corollas destined 

for our market have had chassis 

engineering developed for our 

roads and that certainly showed 

on the twists and turns of the 

Akaora hill. 

Add in the development 

work Toyota has done with the 

chassis in the latest generation 

car and you have a dynamic 

handling vehicle, one which 

belies its role as a mainstream 

hatchback. 

Elsewhere, the Corolla stands 

out for its quality of build and 

high amount of fitment. At the 

new no-haggle price of $32,490, 

the SX includes all the features 

you need for convenience and, of 

course, comfort has been a high 

manufacturing priority. 

On the subject of prices, an 

entry-level base model Corolla 

is available for $29,990, and that 

would be the car for me, but if 

you want all the bells and whistles 

then the ZR at $37,490 is also 

there to tempt. 

According to Toyota’s 

advertising slogan, nothing has 

changed for the new generation 

Corolla – except everything. Sure, 

it looks like the Corolla we have 

come to know and love, and it 

certainly drives like a Corolla 

should, the only thing is that it is 

much better in every respect.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

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

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking t operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

A report said there are two

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes

Mr Mora said the community

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile 

traders acro s the districts could 

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking t operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
