Dalziel to run again
LIANNE DALZIEL will
run again for her third term
as mayor, after weighing up
husband Rob Davidson’s
health, and the civic tasks she
needs to complete.
Mr Davidson was diagnosed
with prostrate cancer
midway through this year,
which put on hold her earlier
plan to make an announcement
about then on whether
she would stand again.
“Rob has responded well to
treatment, and there is every
reason to be confident we
have many years ahead,” she
said yesterday.
Ms Dalziel also said it
was necessary to make an
announcement now, as the
drums begin to beat as to who
would stand for mayor if she
didn’t.

HUSBAND’S HEALTH FACTOR IN DECISION
Bottling
company
can take
water
from
deep bore
• By Sophie Cornish
FURTHER LEGAL action is
being considered after a decision
yesterday to allow an overseas
bottling company to take
Christchurch water from another
bore.
An Environment Canterbury
appointed independent
commissioner granted consent to
Cloud Ocean Water Ltd, allowing
it to take water
from a deeper bore
for its bottling
operation in
Belfast.
Commissioner
Richard Fowler
QC decided the
application would
not be publicly
notified.
Aotearoa Water Action
Peter
Richardson
spokesman Peter Richardson said
he is “appalled” by the decision.
“We can’t understand how he
has made the decision and are
very concerned he wouldn’t allow
us to present any information to
him before making the decision,”
he said. Mr Richardson said the
group will be looking carefully at
the decision to see whether there
are grounds for a judicial review.
Mr Fowler said expert evidence
had found the effects on the
environment “would be no more
than minor.” •Turn to page 5

Few leads on ‘random’ dairy stabbing
• By Sophie Cornish
THE BRUTAL stabbing of a
45-year-old outside a suburban
dairy may have been a random
attack.
The man is now at home recovering
after the early evening
attack outside Keyes Rd Dairy
in North New Brighton nine
days ago.
Detective Sergeant Craig
Johnson said yesterday no suspects
had been identified.
The victim had told police he
thought the attacker’s face was
familiar but he did not know
who he was.
The victim was stabbed in the
back after he had left the dairy.
It was more than one wound,
but Detective Sergeant Johnson
would not say how many.

Lime rides top 200,000
• By Julia Evans
THE 400 Lime scooters
scattered around the city’s
streets have been ridden more
than 200,000 times.
And due to the demand in
Christchurch the number of
Lime scooters could increase to
1500.
The usage figures were
released to the city council’s
infrastructure, transport
and environment committee
yesterday.
Sixty thousand users have
ridden the e-scooters more
than 200,000 times in the two
months since they launched on
October 15.
They have been ridden
more than 500,000 times in
Christchurch and Auckland
combined.
But there have been no serious
injuries recorded. There have
been 141 ACC claims in the
city since the scooters were
launched. Those have included
soft tissue injuries, lacerations,
punctures, fractures and
dislocation.
The median distance travelled
is 1km, while the median trip

Mr Zhu said a teacher from

time is 9min.
Some Lime scooters were
ridden eight or nine times a day.
However, daily usage is
weather dependant as the
scooters are ridden twice as
much on warm days.
A city council reference group
said there needs to be clearer
messaging around who has the
right of way on footpaths.
There needed to be better
understanding around risk,
injury and data reporting, it
said.
It also found that it was
“highly unusual” that e-scooters
weren’t allowed in cycle lanes.
The New Zealand Transport
Agency said e-scooters can only
be used on the footpath or the
road.
But cannot be used in
designated cycle lanes. City
council staff are working on
policy allowing scooters to be
used in the city’s cycleways.
Lime paid the city council
$136 for a three-month mobile
trading permit for the scooters,
which would be reviewed once it
expired.
The scooters can be hired
using an app. It costs $1 to
unlock, then 30c a minute to
ride.
Riders must be over 18, and
helmets are recommended but
not required.
The scooters can reach speeds
up to 30km/h and can be used
on roads and footpaths.

Referee breaks silence on charity
It was the
worst moment
you could
ever imagine
THE REFEREE of the fatal
Christchurch charity fight night
has broken his silence, saying
victim Kain Parsons held his
own in the ring until the fateful
blow which cost his life.
Mr Parsons, 37, died four days
after being critically injured
in the ring during the Fight
for Christchurch event on
November 3.
The project manager was
fighting former Canterbury and
Tasman Makos rugby halfback
Steve Alfeld in the fight night,
which was raising money for a
variety of Christchurch charities.
In an exclusive interview with
the Herald on Sunday, Kevin
Pyne, one of New Zealand’s top
professional boxing referees, has
spoken of the moments leading
up to the final knockout blow,
and how seeing Parsons carried
out of the ring on a stretcher
was the worst moment of his
officiating career.
“We were all deeply gutted by
this incident,” Pyne said.
“It’s not like we just walked
away and brushed it off, and
thought ‘oh, it’s another day at
the office’. It was nothing like
that, it was your worst moment
you could ever imagine in the
ring.
“I’ve never had an opponent

carried out on a stretcher in my
career, and we’ve had over 5000
registered corporate fighters
through the New Zealand
Professional Boxing Association.
This is the first time we’ve had
any incident of this nature.
“He’s got three little kiddies
and a wife. We think we’re doing
it hard, but imagine how they
feel.”
But Pyne refuses to attribute
blame.
“We had done everything to
the letter of the law of boxing,
but we were all suffering over
that incident for sure,” Pyne told
the Herald on Sunday.
“The matching was fair, I think
Kain Parsons had an extensive
time in the gym, like 18 months,
and that was mis-reported at one
stage.
“That’s a great period of time
to have a corporate fight. The
actual opponent hadn’t had
anywhere near that.”
The progression of the fight
also offered no warning signs, he
said.
Pyne did issue two
standing eight counts in the
opening round against Mr
Parsons – including one from
a punch which knocked him
off balance. The other was to
check after a willing exchange;
but he said in both cases Mr
Parsons did not appear hurt or
struggling.

boxing death
“It didn’t hurt him, he got
straight back up,” he said of the
count after Mr Parsons lost balance.
“I checked him to walk forward
and his legs were great and he was
willing and he said: ‘I just fell, I’m
okay’.
“It was a pretty fiery first round
but he went back to his corner
after the eight counts and he was
willing and fine.
“He came out fired up. When I
spoke to the judges they said they
had him almost winning the second
round until that one punch.”
Pyne stressed the two standing
eight counts he gave Mr Parsons
are not the same thing as a 10
count in professional boxing.
“People think because you’ve
got a standing eight count on a
boxer there’s something wrong
with them,” he said.
“We can use that at any
given moment to go in and
check just how people are in a
heated moment. You don’t have
to get knocked over and hit the
ground.”
What Pyne didn’t know – and
no one at the Horncastle Arena
that night had been informed, he
said – was that Mr Parsons had
taken weeks off training prior to
the bout.
“That was all news to us after
the fight, that he’d had a period
of time out of the gym with headaches,”
he said.
“When the doctor examined
on the Friday [on the eve of the
fight], there was no mention of
anything like that.”
Pyne has not been scared off.
On Saturday he will be one
of the three judges for Joseph
Parker’s heavyweight bout at
Horncastle Arena, in addition to
refereeing the undercard.
And Pyne – the New Zealand
Professional Boxing Association’s
second vice president – said he
still backs the concept of corporate
boxing in spite of calls for it
to be banned after Mr Parsons’
death; the third boxing fatality in
New Zealand since 2016.
“Corporate boxing is a great
thing for people if it’s conducted
properly, under the Boxing and
Wrestling Act,” he said.
“We are looking at head guards
from here on in, that’s mandatory
until we have something further to
look at. And the next year we’re going
to review the whole situation.”
A police investigation is
ongoing into the November 3
Fight for Christchurch event. Mr
Parsons’ death has been referred
to the coroner.
More legal action considered
over plan to take water
•From page 1
ECan general counsel
Catherine Schache said the
consent didn’t change the
volume, rate or timing of the
take Cloud Ocean already holds
consent for.
“We know this will be a
frustrating decision for members
of the public who wanted to have
their say on this application.
The Resource Management Act
allows for consents to be publicly
notified so people can present
their views but only in certain
circumstances, and this wasn’t
the case with this application,”
she said.
Mr Fowler said there were
no special circumstances that
would trigger public or limited
notification.
A High Court decision
this week determined old
industrial resource consents
for a wool scour and freezing
works in Belfast do not allow
for large-scale water bottling
operations by Cloud Ocean
Water and Rapaki Natural
Resources.
The Chinese-owned bottling
company has permission to
extract water to sell it overseas.
MORE WATER: A decision was made yesterday to grant
consent to Chinese company Cloud Ocean Ltd to take
Christchurch water.
The city council is opposed to
the consent application.
City councillor Vicki Buck
said it was “revolting” and she
was shocked by the decision.
A report will be discussed
today by councillors
recommending ECan change its
approach to how it deals with
water consent.

Use public transport or face big
New data shows
Canterbury’s transport
system will fail if our
reliance on private
vehicles continues.
Julia Evans reports
THE NUMBER of people
using public transport needs to
quadruple over the next 30 years,
a new report says.
The Greater Christchurch
Public Transport: A Case
for Investment report will
be presented to the greater
Christchurch
partnership
committee
tomorrow.
The committee is
made up of the city
council, as well as
the Waimakariri
Glen
Koorey
and Selwyn
district councils,
Environment
Canterbury and Ngai Tahu.
It looks at the future of public
transport and lays out a case
for investment in service and
infrastructure until 2048.
The aim is to double the share
of people using public transport
from 2.5 per cent to five per cent
by the late 2020s. That would
then double again by 2048.
THE FUTURE: In the next 30 years, four times as many people will need to be catching
the bus.
There are currently 13.8
million passenger trips on buses
a year. Before the February 22,
2011, earthquake, there were 17
million.
“Unless steps are taken to
invest in alternative modes
and reduce reliance on private
vehicles, increased travel demand
during the next 10 years and
beyond will exacerbate peak
time congestion and generate
significant impacts on the
environment, health and safety,”
the report said.
ViaStrada senior traffic
engineer and transport planner
Glen Koorey said transport in
the city cannot stay the same so
investing now is important, and
the report was critical to that.
“We need to be looking at
alternative ways, whether that
be the bus or a bike or even
car-sharing,” he said. Dr Koorey
said the quakes “dramatically”
changed the landscape of the city
•Canterbury is the
fastest growing region
in the country outside of
Auckland.
•The population is expected
to hit 640,000 by 2048.
•There will be 60,000 new
employees working in the
central city in that time.
•83 per cent of people use
cars to get to work.
•Morning peak speeds
could drop to 36km/h in 10
years.
•Current investment
in public transport in
Christchurch is less than
Wellington and Auckland.
•21,900 commuters travel
into Christchurch for work
each day – 11,200 from
Selwyn and 10,700 from
Waimakariri.
•Before the earthquakes,
there were 17 million bus
trips per annum – now
there are 13.8 million.
and provided an opportunity to
put infrastructure in place.
“With people moving out to
new subdivisions out of town, it’s
not just in the city.”
A financial breakdown in the
report said the “whole-life-cost”
of the programme would be more
than $1.3 billion.

traffic congestion issues – report
That would include “significant
investment” in rapid transport
corridor improvements, which
could include light rail, new
bus lanes, as well as ongoing
operating costs.
But the report said if public
transport reached five per cent
mode share, the economic
benefits would be up to $1.4
billion.
“In addition, there would be
substantial health benefits from
added walking to access public
transport stops and stations and
emissions reduction benefits,”
said the report.
Dr Koorey said introducing
more rapid transport corridors,
like bus priority lanes, were
“vital” in changing travel habits.
“They really work well with
really reliable services. It’s
important to have bus priority
networks in place.”
He said they would work to
change people’s perceptions over
taking public transport, which
was that it was too slow and too
unreliable.
“People hate having to transfer
buses. If they can avoid the extra
hassle, they will.”
Increasing frequency,
improved facilities, park and
ride interchanges and public
transport priority measures have
been suggested in the report.
Currently 83 per cent
of residents drive to work,
which the report said has
had “increasing impacts” on
congestion and delays around
the city.
“Modelling indicates that
average speeds at the am peak
period could fall substantially by
2048 . . . average travel speeds in
the morning peak could reduce
by over 6km/h in the next 30
years from 42km/h to 36km/h.”
It said the reliance on private
vehicles was “simply not
sustainable” and would result in
a “failing transport system.”
The report said rapid transit
services along high demand
corridors, particularly between
the central city, Hornby,
Sydenham, Addington,
Riccarton, Ilam, Sockburn and
Wigram, would help reduce the
reliance on cars.
“Providing rapid transport
along this corridor will provide
an attractive alternative to
private vehicle travel.”
Cost, comfort and travel
time are the main reasons
Cantabrians are put off public
transport, the report said.
Canterbury is the fastest
growing region outside of
Auckland. It is projected to
grow faster than Wellington,
Tauranga, Hamilton and
Queenstown combined with
estimates putting the population
at 640,000 in 30 years.
The largest concentration will
be within 10km of the central
city with an additional 60,000
employees in the centre.
However, investment in public
transport in the city is lower than
in Auckland and Wellington.
“Now is the opportunity for
investment in public transport
whilst the city is rebuilding, to
shape the rebuild and before
opportunities to use space for
public transport is taken up with
other development,” the report
said.
Over the next three to five
years, it said the “headwind” will
turn into a “tailwind” for public
transport patronage, which
had been set back following the
February 22, 2011, earthquake.
It comes as ECan is meeting
to finalise its regional public
transport plan today.
Changes include more bus
routes, increased frequency,
rapid transit corridors, an
emission-free fleet by 2030 and a
central city shuttle trial.
‘Cheaper’ to drive than bus
• By Julia Evans
CAROLINE SILVA takes the bus
to work every day.
She catches the Yellow
line from Linwood to
the bus exchange, then
the No 95 to work at
Countdown in Papanui,
and home again when
her shift finishes.
“I don’t have a car,
but I have a licence,” the
38-year-old said.
She said most of the
time it is “easier” to
catch the bus around the city
and not have to worry about
parking.
“I’m used to catching the bus
now. I’ve been doing it for a year
and a half now,” Ms Silva said.
Caroline Silva
However, she believes she is in
the minority and most people in
the city prefer to drive.
“It’s cheaper to just buy a car
and drive so I think
that’s why not as many
people catch the bus.”
Improvements to the
frequency of public
transport, as well as
adding more bus lanes
to the roading network,
might help increase the
amount of people that
do, she said.
“I once had to wait
between buses for about 30min,
that was not so good . . . I know
some of the roads still need to be
repaired after the earthquake,
so that doesn’t bother me too
much.” •Bus lane tickets, page 9

Nearly 200 bus lane infringements
• By Julia Evans
ALMOST 200 motorists have
been ticketed for blocking the
new Riccarton Rd bus lanes.
It comes as the new lanes have
been ignored by motorists just
over a month after they opened.
“Parking compliance
are conducting bus lane
enforcement on Riccarton Rd
to ensure that buses can travel
unhindered
and arrive
at their
destinations
on time,” city
council head
of transport
Steffan
Thomas said.
Steffan

The bus
lanes between
Deans Ave
and Harakeke
St are part of the recently
completed $2.57 million
Riccarton Rd renewal and
resurfacing works. They opened
on November 1.
Of the 190 tickets handed
out since November 23, 74
motorists have been ticketed
for driving in the bus lane,
while 116 had received fines for
parking.
The fine for driving in a bus
CAUGHT: One hundred and ninety motorists have been caught parked or driving in
Riccarton Rd bus lanes by the city council.
lane for more than 50m $150,
while parking in the bus lane
was $60.
Mr Thomas said it would
encourage compliance.
He said they were being
monitored on a daily basis and it
would be “ongoing.”
Red Bus chief executive
Paul McNoe said the lanes
are “unusable” when cars are
parked.
“Because of the number of
cars parked are substantial . . .
it’s unavailable for its intended
use,” Mr McNoe said.
“Filming or recording vehicles
obstructing or using the bus
lane assists enforcement officers
to prove a vehicle has offended.
Issuing an infringement
discourages future offending,”
Mr Thomas said.
“Education is an important
component to keeping the bus
lanes clear and this is currently
being conducted as part of our
one month phase to educate
motorists about the bus lane
rules.”
Vehicles parked in bus lanes
during operational times
impacted the overall efficiency
of the bus network, Mr Thomas
said.
More than $160,050 has been
collected from people illegally
using bus lanes around the city
in the last year.
Last November, the city
council relaunched its campaign
to get motorists out of bus lanes.
“One thousand seven
hundred and forty two
infringements have been issued
for unauthorised use of a special
vehicle lane since enforcement
resumed,” Mr Thomas said.
February start
for Riccarton Rd
upgrade work
WORK ON the next stage of
Riccarton Rd will begin in
February and finished in two years.
The next stage of upgrading
the road, between Harakeke and
Matipo Sts involves replacing and
upgrading damaged underground
pipes and rebuilding the road to accommodate
bus priority measures.
As part of the work a treeplanted
median strip will be added
between Clarence and Matipo Sts.
While the scheme was consulted
on a number of years ago, the
design has developed following
input from the community and key
stakeholders including the emergency
services.
The car parking spaces behind
the businesses on the northern side
of Riccarton Rd, between Rimu St
and Straven Rd, will also be upgraded
in January and a two-hour
time limit introduced.
It is expected to be completed by
December 2020.
Transport planning and delivery
manager Lynette Ellis said some
disruption will be unavoidable, but
the work needs to be done.
“Some of the pipes that run
underneath Riccarton Rd are
almost a century old so they need
to be replaced,’’ Ms Ellis said.

Plenty of value in a power nap
JUST UNDER a month in to
my stay-at-home-dad career
and I have a new appreciation
for two things – parenting fulltime
is way more tiring than
I thought and I need more
hands.
Mostly for Vittoria’s Saturday
swimming lessons.
She’s amazingly confident
in the water and it’s awesome
watching her confidence
grow. Before I went full-time
parent it was our main daddy/
daughter time, so it’s special
for us.
However, as she’s got
more mobile, showering
and changing has become a
challenge. Hence the need for
more hands.
If my wife Laura is free she’ll
tag along to watch the wee
mermaid in action. Having her
there is a big help as she can
dress Vittoria while I shower
and change.
On Saturday morning, I
decided to let Laura sleep in
after a busy work week. But
boy, did I miss her at change
time.
Wee one was already
yawning mid-way through
so by the time we got to the
showers she was grumpy-as
and letting everyone know it.
Poor lass was just ready for
her bottle and a nap and here’s
me washing her, drying her,
dressing her and then trying to
do the same for myself? What
a monster.
To save extending the
meltdown, and bring her back
to her smiling self, I just went
home in my wet togs, wrapped
in a towel.
It might not seem like an
embarrassing situation, but
try it out while you’re halfnaked,
soaking wet and in
front of much fitter looking
strangers.
As for my fatigue levels, I
was never one for a sneaky
workplace nap and after work
I used to stay up to make the
most of my home time.
Now I’ll often nap during the
day and still be yawning for
bed by 8pm.
I used to wonder why Laura
complained about being tired.
I mean, looking after a baby on
the cusp of toddlerhood can’t
VITTORIA
& Matt
be more draining than writing
news. Right?
After Saturday’s swimming
lesson we went to one of
Vittoria’s friend’s first birthday
party. By the end of that, I
actually took a power nap on
the floor of the lounge.

CASINO’S
TEAM: Lianne Dalziel and city councillors. She will stand again for mayor in the local body
elections next year. People’s Choice leader and Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner (front row, third
from left) won’t now contest the mayoralty.
Achieving milestones and
resolving unfinished business
IT WAS June when my husband,
Rob, and I went to the Cancer
Society Ball.
We heard the message loud and
clear – each day 60 New Zealanders
will hear the words “I’m sorry,
you have cancer.”
For us it was only a few weeks
later. Rob came back from overseas
feeling unwell. He went to
the doctor and began a barrage
of tests. Finally a bone scan and a
biopsy confirmed it was prostate
cancer. It came as a big shock.
I haven’t talked publicly before
now, because the question from
the media since July is whether
I’m going to run for mayor again.
As I’m sure you will understand,
this has required additional
thought.
I personally don’t think it’s
necessary to make the decision
so far out from the election, given
that so much can occur between
now and then.
• By Julia Evans
LIANNE DALZIEL’S decision
to run for a third term means
left-aligned People’s Choice
will wait another three years
before putting up a mayoral
candidate.
Leader and Deputy Mayor
Andrew Turner said he would
only stand for the position in the
October 12 local body elections in
the event that Ms Dalziel bowed
out.
“Lianne is very aware of my
position – that I would run only if
she did not,” he said.
It is the reason Ms Dalziel has
announced her intentions 10
months early, in spite of saying in
June she would make a decision
However, with some potential
candidates indicating that they
would be willing to serve if I was
not going to put my name forward,
I’ve decided to make that
call now.
Rob has responded well to
treatment, and there is every
Mayor
Lianne Dalziel
after the Long Term Plan had been
finalised.
“I personally don’t think it’s necessary
to make the decision so far
out from the election, given that so
much can occur between now and
then,” she said.
“However, with some potential
candidates indicating that they
would be willing to serve if I
was not going to put my name
forward, I’ve decided to make that
call now.”
Ms Dalziel won her first mayoral
race in 2013 to take over from Bob
Parker, who did not stand.
She had a majority of almost
50,000 over closest rival, businessman
Paul Lonsdale.
At the time, she said it would be
her only term.
reason to be confident we have
many years ahead of us.
I’ve also been encouraged to
run again by many community
and business leaders, as well as
countless residents who have offered
their support as we’ve come
into contact on the street, in the
supermarket and at events.
We’ve come a long way as a city
in the past five years, and there
are a few more milestones to be
achieved before the election.
However, there is unfinished
business, which I believe I am
well-placed to help resolve, and
therefore I intend to stand next
year.
Turner: ‘I would run only if she did not’
In 2016, Ms Dalziel announced
her intention to run five months
before the election. That year she
received 75,524 votes, 62,407 more
than closest rival, activist John
Minto.
Previously Ms Dalziel was a
Labour cabinet minister and MP
for Christchurch East.
Cr Turner said he believed
he would be an “effective and
successful” mayor. But he
would be happy to remain a
councillor.
“If that is not the opportunity
which is present for me in 2019, I
will also be very happy to continue
to achieve the best for my Banks
Peninsula Ward and for the city
by continuing in my current role,”
he said.

Call to extend park and ride
• By Julia Evans
MORE PARKING buildings
should be included in the
Christchurch Hospital park and
ride service.
Central City Business Association
chairman Brendan
Chase said having the service
extended to include a number of
parking buildings would create
a level playing field between the
city council and private sector.
“It would
give those
people parking
a little bit
more choice.
But it might
help improve
occupancy at
some of the
Brendan
Chase
other parking
buildings,” he
said.
Mr Chase said the shuttle
could run on a loop around several
buildings along Lichfield,
Tuam and Hereford Sts.
However, Canterbury District
Health Board commercial portfolio
manager Rachel Cadle said
extending the service would cost
too much and make the route
take too long.
“We have looked carefully at
all possible aspects of the hospital
shuttle service. Extending
the service to other buildings
would require more shuttle
buses, which are paid for by the
CDHB, and would make journey
times longer.”
The park and ride service
moved from its flooded and
pothole-ridden site on Deans
Ave to the city council’s
805-space Lichfield St parking
building in July.
It came after an 18-month
campaign by The Star.
Said Ms Cadle: “The new
location is popular as it’s secure,
accessible, well-lit, smoothsurfaced
and under cover.”
Mr Chase said extending the
service would also reduce the
strain on the city council’s parking
building.
“The Lichfield St parking
building is often at capacity and
a lot of that has to do with the
park and ride,” he said.
Ms Cadle said while the park
is often “quite full,” spaces do

become available quickly.
“There are usually more free
spaces on the upper floors and
on the top deck (level eight) and
there are lifts back down to the
shuttle stop on level two.”
The new park and ride will
run until the Ministry of Health
finishes building a permanent
car parking building in 2020.
More than 200 car parks
have been set aside at the Metro
Sports Facility site for hospital
staff.

Fire rages, homes at risk
‘Drown him’
case outcome
tomorrow
• By Sophie Cornish
THE OUTCOME of the longrunning
“drown him” court case
will be known tomorrow.
Two teenagers charged over the
alleged attack after the Rolleston
fireworks display in November last
year appeared in the Youth Court
last week.
The now 17-year-olds were
defending a charge each of causing
injury with intent to injure. They
were 15 and 16 at the time. The case
grabbed headlines after the 15-yearold
victim (now 16) was allegedly attacked
on Tennyson St after leaving
the fireworks display.
He was pushed into a water race
and had his head allegedly held under
water, while others in the group
watching yelled: “Drown him,
drown him”.
Judge Stephen O’Driscoll heard
evidence over two days last week.
He reserved his decision which will
be released tomorrow. The Star was
prohibited from covering the case
last week.
The teenagers who appeared in
court were originally charged with
aggravated robbery, but had their
charges amended in August.
The victim was left with a gash on
his face that required stitches and a
night in hospital.

Cemetery name change likely
• By Anan Zaki
A CEMETERY which
remembers the victims of the
February 22, 2011, earthquake
could get a name change.
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board voted
on Monday to ask the city council
to consider adding the word
‘memorial’ to Avonhead Park
Cemetery’s name.
Friends of Avonhead Cemetery
chairman Clive Paris was pleased
with the community board decision.
The cemetery is home to an
interment site opened on the first
anniversary of the disaster.
Fifty-eight victims are memorialsed
at Avonhead Park Cemetery,
the city council said.
The group has been campaigning
to change its name to reflect
the interment site’s significance
for 18 months.
“It’s a step forward, sanity
prevails and it’s also wishes of
families of the deceased who are
buried there from the [February
22], 2011, earthquake,” he said.
“We’ve got a $300,000 [interment]
there, and referred to as a
memorial by former Mayor Bob
Parker,” Mr Paris said.
Friends of Avonhead Cemetery
will continue to urge city councillors
to change the name.
“I think they [city councillors]
CHANGE: Friends of Avonhead Cemetery chairman Clive Paris

name.
should listen to the people rather
than some ideology steeped in
history that the name should be
retained.”
Community board chairman
Sam MacDonald said the board
was against the city council
staff’s recommendations, which
was to keep the existing name.
“Community boards are there
to represent the community. This
council is commonly criticised for
not being prepared to listen to the
community,” Mr MacDonald said.
He expects the city council to
consider the board recommendation
in February next year.
If that recommendation is
accepted, the city council will
begin open a public consultation
to change the name.
Board member Aaron Campbell
said Friends of Avonhead
Cemetery disagreed with the
group on the “sensitive” subject
of changing the name.
Mr Campbell was the only
board member to vote against
changing the name.
“Particularly around the Avonhead
Park cemetery, any changes
that have been made have been
extremely contentious,” he said.
Mr Campbell also questioned
why Friends of Avonhead
Cemetery didn’t submit
about the name change in the
Cemeteries Bylaw review earlier
this year.
But Mr Paris said his group did
not need to submit in the bylaw
review because the community
board has been aware of this issue
for 18 months.

Hampshire St: Transformed into
Hampshire St, Aranui,
has had a reputation
over the years as a
place you dare to tread.
But it is undergoing a
transformation. Julia
Evans reports
IN THE PAST it has been
labelled the most feared street in
the city.
Sirens, stabbings, sexual assaults,
fires, shootings, gangs,
murders, high unemployment
rates and low incomes have been
synonymous with Hampshire St
for the better part of its history.
A stark contrast to its namesake,
the area of Hampshire in
the United Kingdom, which has a
Christchurch city and Avon River
of its own.
Hampshire calls forth images
of a rolling English countryside
rather than the street police in
the 1990s would often refer to as
“The Reservation.”
Erina Staples has lived on and
around Hampshire St for 27 years
and said the area used to be
“really rough.”
She said there were fights often
between the Mongrel Mob and
Black Power gangs when the pub,
BANABA BANABA has lived
on Hampshire St for at least 20
years.
It could be 30.
“I’ve forgotten, I’ve had other
things on my mind.”
He’s spent the last eight years
in his modern brick unit after
moving from down the other
end of the street.
Mr Banaba had to move
after the February 22, 2011,
earthquake destroyed the
second storey of his home.
“You couldn’t use the
bathroom or go upstairs. I
like it here better anyway,” he
said.
“There aren’t as many people
doing wheelspins outside the
house here, its quieter.”
Originally from the Cook
Islands, Mr Banaba moved to
Auckland and lived in Porirua
with his brother.
He then moved down to
known as the Hampshire Hilton,

“It was terrible when the pub
was open . . . there were fights
outside and the kids would hang
outside and see it all,” she said.

he’s lived on Hampshire St, but he wouldn’t live anywhere
else.

“I like it here. At my old
place the backyard was too
big to mow on my own,” Mr
But the Mongrel Mob and Black
Power haven’t been the only gangs
to be prominent in the area.
In the 70s, there was the Flagon
Wagon gang, and later the fully
patched Hampshires. They tried
Banaba said when The Star
visited.
Now he mows the front lawns
of most of his neighbours and
to rule the roost in the eastern
suburbs from their base in the
streets around Hampshire St.
But they weren’t always the
victor.
In the 1970s, surfers from the
said the area has a strong sense
of community.
“I like helping,” Mr Banaba
said.
He also liked playing darts
at the Eastern Eagles Rugby
League Club clubrooms.
“I stopped playing when I
reached the top. I said: ‘I’ve had
enough now’.”
Mr Banaba said Wainoni
Park was a great spot on
Hampshire St.
“When my grandkids come
over, I say go over to the park
and play. I can walk over with
them and watch,” he said.
However, Mr Banaba said he
knew there were gangs in the
area, but they mostly kept to
themselves.
“Black Power and the
Mongrel Mob, they don’t cause
any problems,” he said.
“It’s not as bad as people
think. People tell me it’s bad
but it’s not.”

a real sense of community
“One of the young surfie guys
got beaten up by the Flagon
Wagon so we decided to go
around there. We rang the police
first and told them we were going
there to sort them out,” long-time
surfer Keiry Bennett recalled this
week.
The Flagon Wagon gang
members were swinging chains
as the surfies approached. A few
moments later it was all on.
“We grabbed their chains,
jumped up and down on the car
roofs . . . and when we were done
the police were waiting around
the corner to sort them out,” he
said.
“They didn’t beat up surfers
after that, that’s for sure.”
The Hampshires emerged
in the 1980s from the Flagon
Wagon, and then faded away.
They were a feared gang in the
east, who would turn up to halls
having 21sts and other parties
and cause and get involved in
carnage.
As the years rolled on the
Ruthless Boot Boys, an odd fit
in an ever-growing Maori and
Polynesian population in
Aranui, and the Mongrel Mob
and Black Power would take up
residence.
Hampshire St was given the

1980s.
status as unofficial worst street
in the city – TV3’s Campbell Live
used the term when discussing
the merger of Aranui schools.
But the street’s notoriety went
to a national and international
level in September 2009 when the
bodies of Tisha Lowry, 28, and
Rebecca Chamberlain, 33, were
found under the floorboards of
one of the units on the corner of
Hampshire St and Wainoni Rd.
It became known as The House
of Horrors.
Mrs Chamberlain’s husband,
Jason Somerville, was jailed for
their murders. He had killed Ms
Lowry, who was his neighbour,
in September 2008.
A year later he killed his wife.
The House Of Horrors
would later be burnt down –
culprits still unknown. The
property was bought by the city
council and turned into a small
park Ripene Ma Reserve – White
Ribbon Reserve, which honours
those who lost their lives to
violence.
But for all of this Ms Staples
feels “pretty lucky” to live in
Hampshire St.
She has lived in the new state
house for the last two years, but
raised her children in various
spots along the street.
Her oldest is now 27,
her youngest daughter is a
16-year-old student at Haeata
Community Campus, her
mother lives just around the
corner.
DARK PAST: The
House of Horrors
where it was
discovered Jason
Somerville had buried
the bodies of his wife
and neighbour in
2008 and 2009 was
destroyed by fire.
Ms Staples said a lot of that had
to do with the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, which provided an
opportunity for Hampshire St to
regenerate.
“There’s a lot of community
and it’s good having the police
around. They come in and say
hello, make sure all the kids and
teenagers respect them. You don’t
see that in every street.”
“I actually feel a lot safer here
than I would in town. Everyone’s
got your back here, everyone
makes sure you’re safe,” she said.

New library, park upgrade and leadership
•From page 19
WHILE HAMPSHIRE St has
had a chequered past – it’s
future is full of rejuvenation and
community spirit.
Recent years have seen the
opening of a new library, upgrades
at Wainoni Park and the
rise of Aranui Community Trust
Incorporated Society, which runs
the tool shed, a walking group,
community
lunches,
amongst a
range of other
services.
Rob
Davidson,
who is the
Rob Davidson
husband of
Mayor Lianne
Dalziel, has been chairman of
ACTIS for 18 years.
“I went to the recent Affirm
celebration and I sat there with
Sandy Kaa, our kaumatua and
looked around at all the positive
changes. I actually became quite
emotional,” he said.
“The people were just so engaged.”
Mr Davidson said the area had
managed to achieve so much in a
short period of time.
“There’s the new $6.5 million
community hall . . .the new
library and we’ve shifted the playground
from behind the shops,
there’s been community plantings
days, it’s really opened up now so
houses overlook it and it’s much
safer,” Mr Davidson said.
Hampshire St’s high deprivation
index and low income rates
meant ACTIS’s role in the community
was on-going.
“You have to continue your
support. You can’t go in and then
leave again . . . it’s the sort of
thing we’ve got to carry on.”
The community spirit would
see the area flourish in the future,
Mr Davidson said.
Last week murals were painted
on the shop walls, courtesy of
street artists and students from
Haeata Community
Campus as part of an
ongoing campaign by
the Aranui neighbourhood
policing team to
brighten up the area.
Constable Jules
Atkinson said the
murals brought a
passion for art and the
community together.
“This project is about
uniting us all and engaging
with one another. We’ve found a
common interest and the locals

love it,” she said.
Te Kupenga o Aranui youth
worker and mentor Silivelio
Fasi, 28, painted
one of the murals and
was raised in the area.
“One of the key
changes is the park.
When I was younger
there was an old half
court and that was
about it, now there’s a
flash basketball court
and a path. It’s a lot
more vibrant,” he said.
Fasi said the look of the
area was changing, which was
helping outward perception.
“There’s always been gang activity
and things. But at the same
time there’s a lot of kids having
a lot of fun. Biking up and down
the street, going to the shops and
sitting outside having a pie.”
Fasi said when you go down
Hampshire St everyone says
hello, gives the nod of a head or
the friendly eyebrow raise.
“When I was young, people
thought A-town was scary.
But I strongly believe there are
downsides to any community.
There has just been a magnifying
glass over Aranui.”

MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel
has come out in support

govern the future of the

The Avon Otakaro Network

Susan McCormack
Trailblazer goes from top lawyer
Canterbury University will be led by two women for the first time in its history next year. One of these trailblazers is Susan McCormack
who will take over from John Wood as chancellor. She talks to Sophie Cornish about her journey from being a convent school girl to
starting her own law firm
You are about to embark
on a new role as chancellor of
Canterbury University. What do
you hope to achieve in the role
and how important is it to have
this representation of women in
leadership?
I’m honoured to become the
next chancellor of Canterbury
University. I think having a
woman in this role is not only
important for Christchurch
and Canterbury but also for the
country and internationally. I
am passionate about education
and believe it does make a
difference in a lot of people’s
lives. I am really looking
forward to working with the
vice-chancellor Cheryl de la Rey.
I think that our appointments
are going to bring some
interesting changes. We both are
good listeners and I think that
enhances our communication
abilities within the university
and beyond. That will assist us
to move things forward after
this rather hectic rebuild time.
I hope to provide research and
LEADERSHIP: Sue McCormack
will take the reins at
Canterbury University
next year.
teaching opportunities that not
only illustrate our high-quality
academic reputation, but also
reflect the expectations of
graduates in New Zealand,
who are bi-culturally
competent, dynamic,
and with interpersonal
skills that reflect
their empathy and
integrity.
Tell me about
your own
experiences
as a
student at
Canterbury
University?
Did you
study
there
as an
undergraduate?
How has
it changed
over the
years?
Way
back in
my school days I hadn’t really
thought much about what I
would do after school. My father
died when I was
six-yearsold.
My
mother was looking after five
kids under the age of seven. I
went to a convent school and
when it got time for me to finish
school, my mother asked the
nuns ‘what should I do with Sue?’
And they said ‘your daughter
isn’t really university material,’
so I then went, okay, guess what
I’m going to do? And I decided I
was definitely going to university.
There’s nothing like turning a
negative into a positive. So off
I went. My first degree was
at the old university site in
town. I didn’t really know
quite why I was going
to university, other
than to prove a point. I
studied sociology and
other arts subjects.
Then I travelled
overseas to Europe and
did what every young
person does and
worked in hospitality
and ski resorts and
had a good old play.
Then I came
back to New
Zealand
and
decided to do a law degree when
I was 27-years-old. It took me
about four or five years, the
university had shifted to Ilam
by then. I think the world had
changed a bit between my first
degree and my second. The playtime
of the past had probably
moved on and I had to study
hard and do quite well. There
was a change in focus. It took me
until age 27 to work out what I
wanted to do. I always thought
I was interested in commercial
company stuff and in terms of
law, that’s what I ended up doing
and I’ve loved it.
You are a very busy woman
with a lot of different roles –
what are they all and how do
you balance them?
My daughter always tells me
there is no such word as busy,
there is only fake busy. So maybe
I have adopted that and I don’t
find it too bad. Obviously I am
busy, I don’t like to use that
word anymore, there’s just a bit
going on. I managed to bring
back my husband from England
to New Zealand. We weren’t
married then, but he became my
husband later. This should’ve
been a very easy task, but him
being English, it wasn’t
actually that easy. He
was very supportive and
before it was popular
– as in prime minister
popular – he was a
stay-at-home dad.
At the moment,
I am a partner
at my law firm
Mortlock
McCormack
Law and I am
pro-chancellor
at the
university. I
will switch
to the
chancellor
role from
January 1.

to head of Canterbury University
I am also a director of
KiwiRail. In the past, I was the
director of the New Zealand
Symphony Orchestra. I actually
did used to play the cello for my
school and that’s because that
was the only instrument left at
the time and I never really think
I mastered it. But I have always
appreciated other people and
their abilities. But I think my
role with the orchestra was more
a governance role, which most
of these directorships are really.
We are pretty busy at KiwiRail
at the moment. We have got a lot
of new funding coming in from
the Government and have a lot of
ambitions. We have been trying
to re-open the main line between
Picton and Christchurch, which
of course got devastated with the
earthquake. So that has been a
big focus. I had the pleasure of
sharing a carriage with our prime
minister for the first trip we did a
couple of weeks ago, opening the
passenger line after two years. It
was fabulous meeting Jacinda, I
hadn’t formally met her before.
Have you lived in
Christchurch all your life?
Where did you grow up? What
led you to study law?
I have lived here my whole
life, apart from flying the nest
to spread my wings in a big
OE that lasted about five years.
Christchurch has changed a
lot since then and it changed
again in the earthquake. I say
this with a bit of tongue-incheek,
but I went to Cottesmore
College, which is now a drug
and rehabilitation centre called
Odyssey House. The school
shut long ago, although my
school friends and I often joke
a bit about what is there now.
I probably would have lived
overseas for longer, but I returned
to look after my mother who
wasn’t well.
You have a professional
background in commercial
law and knowledge of the
Christchurch construction
industry. How have you
participated in the rebuild?
PLANNING: Susan McCormack (second from right) played a key role in the city’s rebuild,
including the development of the The Terrace, which was led by Antony Gough (second
from left).
I had a governance role with
the rebuild at the university;
management did all the
details. But it was a $1.2 billion
rebuild, so governance was very
important. I have been involved
with Antony Gough from day
one as far as The Terrace build
goes. I travelled with him to
Melbourne to look at laneways
and helped to appoint architects,
builders and all that. I have been
on a lovely roller-coaster with
him for the past five years. It’s
amazing and I am very proud
of him to see that he has got
there. I think one of the biggest
challenges is the fact that the
central city was shut down by
CERA for the first few years,
which meant other developers
got a head start in the suburbs.
Then you take on a big project
like that and as everyone knows
with construction projects, they
normally tend to blow out in
their budgets. So we had those
normal challenges. We had to
reset a few times. Some of the
tenants now were tenants of
Antony’s before the earthquake
and were very loyal and patient
with him re-establishing that
site. In particular I would have
to say the Vieceli family, who
own the Bangalore Polo Club and
Amazonita. They supported him
all the way through and were
great.
I understand you like
tramping – where do you tramp
and what else do you do in your
spare time?
I’ve done most of the big walks
in Christchurch. I love getting
out and about. I haven’t yet
been to Stewart Island, but I am
heading there in February with
a group of women to do one of
the walks there. I don’t get out
every weekend but I do try and
cover off the big ones. I get away
for the odd long weekend to try
and get some different walks
in. I love skiing and do a bit of
that in the winter, but I don’t
have much spare time. I have
done the Banks Peninsula walk
a couple of times and I enjoy
getting around the Port Hills.
Every week I walk around Hagley
Park at least twice because we
are so lucky to have that in our
city. I usually just walk alone or
with a couple of friends. I call
myself an amateur florist as a bit
of a joke, because I love flowers
but only ever grow weeds. I have
a very weedy garden. I do love
art but I probably just admire it,
and not buy it, because it doesn’t
really fit in my budget to buy
it. I love spending special time
with people I care about and love
– that’s how I like to spend my
spare time.
Tell me a bit about your
family?
My English husband Don has
managed to stick with me. My
daughter Anna is a lawyer in
Dunedin. She hasn’t really ever
wanted to follow in my footsteps
so I am watching this space to see
what her next adventure might
be. She’s practising as a litigator
currently.
What’s something about you
that might surprise people –
anything that has helped shape
who you are?
Even when I went for my first
arts degree, and even my law
degree when I did that a lot
later, the population of women,
especially law graduates, wasn’t
that high. Now more than 50
per cent are females, so that I
think is a changing world really.
I probably set up the first female
law firm in Christchurch. I was
practising with two very large law
firms for a short time and then I
set up my own firm quite early in
my career with another woman.
Then she left to do her own thing
and I ran the firm on my own
for a little bit, then I merged
with Simon Mortlock. I suppose
my leadership with my firm
here, five of my employees have
worked with me for 20 years. I
am very careful about leadership
in terms of what that means and
I really think it is about caring
for people. If they feel really
cared for and know that you love
them then they are loyal and
that shows through. I think it
is important with leadership in
legal roles, with everything going
on in the media lately, and how
that helps it. You can’t always
turn around the Titanic but you
can always stamp your mark.

Where will Canty’s
BOOST:
Canterbury is
expected to get
121 more police
officers next
year, but where
they will be
stationed is yet
to be decided.
CANTERBURY IS expected to
get more police next year – but
where they will be stationed is yet
to be decided.
The new officers will be part of
a nationwide boost of 1800 police
officers over the next three years
as part of a $298 million increase
announced by the Government
in this year’s Budget.
Canterbury is set to receive 121
more officers.
Canterbury metro area commander
Superintendent Lane
Todd said the deployment of the
officers will be part of its wider
planning for the
city, which will
be looked at next
year once the
numbers have
been finalised.
Superintendent
Todd said
the police will
look across the
city to see where

the additional
officers can go.
“We will be doing a bit of science
behind it, looking at where
is our peak demand, when is our
busiest times. Traditionally, we
haven’t been able to do that,” he
said.
However, no decisions will be
made until the middle of next
year. He said it is possible more
officers could be placed at both
the Hornby and New Brighton
police stations. But the 24-hour
stations – central, southern and
Papanui – may also get more
staff.
The Hornby station could be
staffed around the clock, with
• By Sophie Cornish
THE 15-YEAR-OLD daughter of
a police detective sergeant hopes
to grow up to be like Jacinda
Ardern.
In a video series celebrating
Suffrage 125, Canterbury
policemen have revealed what
gender equality and women’s
suffrage means to them.
A detective sergeant said
during parent-teacher interviews
with his daughter, he was told
she was similar to Ms Ardern,
who was once taught by the
teacher.
“My daughter went home
from that interview thinking ‘I
can be like that, I can reach the
top’. That probably wouldn’t of
happened decades ago, but now
she realises that the world has
opened up for her.”
24-hour response officers, which
hasn’t happened for many years,
said superintendent Todd. The
station is currently crewed
during the day by youth aid and
community officers.
“What we’ve got now is
having stations that are more
hubs.”
Male officers speak out
The policemen’s names
were withheld to protect their
families.
In the series, organised by
the Canterbury police Women’s
Advisory Network Group, 20
policemen were asked questions
about gender equality.
The videos have been posted
on the Canterbury police
Facebook page.
They include questions such as
“what does gender equality mean
to you and the women in your
life?”
And “how can you help be the
change in a gender equal world?”
Another officer talked about
how the world had changed for
women while reflecting on his
grandmother’s life.
“My grandmother came to
New Zealand in 1942,” he said.

“We are trying to centralise more
rather than having smaller teams in a
few more stations around the city,” said
Superintendent Todd.
The possibility that more officers could
be based at New Brighton has been
welcomed by Sergeant Jim Currie who
heads up the station. He is calling for more

One video featured Canterbury district
commander Superintendent John Price.
“Women were not given the vote, they
fought for that vote, they fought for the
justice of us all to ensure social justice is
key. Today we have many people within
our organisation who come to work
everyday for social justice for all,” he said.
The video series was organised by
Senior Sergeant Toni Carroll, who cochairs
the group.
Suffrage 125 marks 125 years since
New Zealand women won the right to

“I think New Brighton is a place worth
investing in . . . I see a lot of potential out
in New Brighton and the more staff we can
get out here to make it safer for everybody,
the better,” he said.
Sergeant Currie said New Brighton has
always had a high crime rate and having
more staff would be an “extra deterrence.”

Pressure on to save water
THE CITY council is taking
a myth-busting approach
to remind residents about
the need to save water this
summer.
It has put out a series of
fact-based articles via its
website and Facebook page in
an effort to correct common
misunderstandings about
water use in Christchurch.
Water supply programme
manager Helen Beaumont says
it’s important people get the
facts so they understand the
importance of saving water
this summer.
“We’ve had a lot people
effectively calling us out for
asking them to save water
when water bottling plants
are taking it out of the ground
every day. But there are two
problems with that. Firstly,
the city council doesn’t
decide who can or can’t take
groundwater, Environment
Canterbury does, while taking
environmental factors into
account. And secondly, the
water taken by water bottling
plants doesn’t actually affect
our public water supply –
they’re separate issues.”
Ms Beaumont says another
common misunderstanding is
around the need to conserve
water this summer.
“It’s not that we’re running
out of water. The problem is
we need to take some water
wells out of service so we
can upgrade them and stop
chlorinating as fast as possible.
If we keep using too much
PRECIOUS: Limit the
time you operate
your garden hose.
water, we have to use more
wells to cope, and then we
can’t work on them. It’s really
that simple,” she says.
A wet start to summer in
Christchurch has seen the city
council’s online water dial
spend a number of consecutive
days in the
“green zone”,
which is
where the
city council
wants to see
it stay as the
city moves
into the
warmest part
of the year.
The Star
Helen
Beaumont
Ms Beaumont says the rain
means people generally don’t
feel the need to turn on their
garden sprinklers or irrigators,
which are
the biggest household water
users.
“Running a garden sprinkler
or irrigator for an hour can
use up to 1500 litres – or 150
buckets – of water. That’s
a huge amount when you
consider we’re targeting an
average daily use of 212 litres
per person this summer. We’re
asking people to use hand-held
hoses to water – during early
morning or late evening –
because you can direct exactly
where the water goes and
avoid wasting it.”

council’s website at ccc.

$1110 Christmas cake part
of Gerry’s video series
GERRY BROWNLEE has proven
that a career as a celebrity chef
may be an option if politics ever
falls through.
In his latest series of Facebook
videos, Mr Brownlee showcased
his baking skills and a more laidback
side of his personality.
Mr Brownlee raised $1110 for
the Salvation Army after releasing
a series of videos showing
Facebook viewers how to make
the perfect Christmas cake and
auctioning the cake on Trade Me.
The donation was made as a
tribute to former Lieutenant-
Colonel and Salvation Army
worker Peter Savage, who died
last year.
Mr Brownlee told The Star he
did not want to comment on his
good deed, in spite of receiving a
large response from viewers, simply
saying his reasons for doing it
were “pretty self-explanatory.”
The videos received 34,600
Facebook views, with the cake’s
Trade Me auction being viewed
21,000 times before the sale.
Mr Brownlee said in a previous
statement that Mr Savage
“epitomised for me the
Christmas message of peace
and goodwill to all.”
He wanted to do what he could
“to raise a few dollars for the Salvation
Army to help them with
some of the extra things they do
around Christmas time.”
Mr Brownlee’s cake baking
videos were also released as part
of a new push to connect with his
social media audience.
The former Canterbury Earthquake
Recovery minister released
his first instructional video in

Brownlee’s special

for The Salvation Army.
October, showing Facebook
viewers how to make home-made
fertiliser and attracting the interest
of more than 37,000 viewers.
Mr Brownlee told The AM
Show in October, the videos were
a great way to connect with a
wider audience and show the less
serious side of what he does on
the weekend.

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
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
Kylie Hills
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, 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.”

Win big for your favourite
charity with Archibalds
TO CELEBRATE 100 years of business
in Christchurch, Archibalds Motors has
decided to give money away rather than
spend it on a party.
Ten charities have been short-listed for
the chance to win part of $100,000 in the
Drive for Good campaign, organised by the
motor company.
Members of the public
are able to vote for the
charity they think should
get the money.
Crusaders coach and
Drive for Good supporter
Scott Roberston spoke at
a breakfast for Drive for
Good on Friday in the
Scott
Roberston
company’s new Porsche
showroom.
He congratulated the
charities on making it to the top 10 “final”
and for their efforts to give back to the
community.
The charities were nominated by staff
and include Canterbury West Coast
Air Rescue Trust, Christchurch Early
Intervention Trust, Cholmondeley
Children’s Centre, Dementia Canterbury,
Mental Health Advocacy and Peer
Support, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s
Canterbury, Pillars, Ronald McDonald
House South Island, the Mental Health
Foundation, and the Christchurch branch
of the Cancer Society.
The charity with the most votes will get
$50,000 and the other two will get $25,000
each.
Archibalds Motors chief executive John
Fairhall said a staff member came up with
the donation idea and others agreed it was
the right thing to do.
“Plus, they still had their usual Christmas
party.”
Route change
for Orbiter
THE ORBITER bus will reroute to travel
via Cranford St, instead of along Philpotts
Rd from January 7.
The Philpotts Rd intersection with
QE II Drive will temporarily close in
January while work continues on the
Northern Corridor.
Once complete, QE II Drive will be
four-laned with a central median. A right
turn in and out of Philpotts Rd will not be
possible.
Camera funding
SUMNER RESIDENTS may know in
February if ratepayers 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.”
“Turning 100 is really the first major
milestone that we’ve celebrated in a
significant way,” he said.
Voting runs for three months, with
the winning charities to be named in
March.

should get part of the $100,000.

vigorous growth on most plants,
harvesting of early maturing
summer vegetables and preparing
the garden if you are planning on
heading away.
BLOOMING: (Above and right) – Flowering annuals should
be providing a wealth of colour.
Vege garden
Summer salad vegetables will
be maturing mid/late December.
Regularly apply side dressings of
fertiliser to enhance the growth of
these plants. With quick maturing
crops such as radishes, dwarf
beans and lettuce, use succession
planting (every two to three
weeks) to avoid them all maturing
at the same time and ensuring
you have a constant supply.
Plan you watering or irrigation
programme to encourage strong
plant growth while avoiding
wasting any water. Apply mulch
to reduce water loss and help prevent
weed growth. Early planted
potatoes should be ready to be
harvested for Christmas Day.
Continue to remove the lateral
growth on your tomato plants
until they reach around 1m, and
tie up to stakes at regular points
(every 100–150mm).
Summer flowers
With little effort, summer annuals
can provide masses of colour
and beauty in the garden or containers.
Summer flowers include;
ageratum, cornflower, cosmos,
marigolds, petunias, portulacas,
salvias, strawflowers and zinnias.
Deadhead old finished flowers to
encourage more flowering.
Fruit trees
Early stone fruit such as plums
start to ripen towards the end
of the month. You may need to
remove some excess new growth
and thin laden bunches of
fruit to help promote heavy cropping.
Water newly planted fruit
trees and mulch as soils begin to
dry.
Berries and strawberries
Boysenberries, blackcurrants,
gooseberries and raspberries can
be harvested in late December.
They will be developing new
canes that should be tied down
or removed when there is
excessive growth.

Nature’s link between your home and your section
Drive down any well-established
residential street in Christchurch and
you will probably encounter numerous
hedges, nature’s fencing and shelter
solution.
Hedges offer privacy from nosy
neighbours, shelter from damaging
winds, a solid living background or
edging to a colourful garden, and an
architectural link between your home
and your section. We all know it is the
first impression that counts and a well
trimmed, healthy hedge adds value to
your property, and indicates a much
loved and well cared for residence.
Often planted last generation or even
earlier, hedges come in all shapes, sizes
and species, and benefit from individual
attention, rather than a one-size-fits-all
approach to maintenance and trimming.
For an amateur, a tidy hedge requires
hours of work and gorilla-length arms,
not to mention the cost and effort
involved with removing the debris.
Luckily, Hedgehogs Hedge

before the holidays
It’s a great month for harvesting
strawberries. Protect
plants with bird netting so they
don’t eat the fruit before you
do.
Place pea straw or crushed
bark around plants so fruit are
sitting on a ‘clean bed’. Water
as required and with the
minimum of maintenance you
should be harvesting delicious,
juicy strawberries well into
January.
Roses
It’s an excellent month
for rose before the difficult
months of January and February.
It’s important to continue
to deadhead finished flowers
to encourage more blooms.
Apply regular side dressings
of rose fertiliser to encourage
strong healthy growth.
Carry out summer pruning
NOURISHMENT:
Only irrigate your
lawn in cooler
temperatures.
DIVERSE: It’s time to harvest summer
salad vegetables.
to promote further flowering.
Inspect your roses regularly
for signs of blackspot and rust
and instigate a regular spraying
programme to control these
diseases.
Lawns
Depending on specific
summer weather conditions,
lawns should either be in peak
condition or beginning to dry
out. Avoid mowing too low
over hot summer months and
do not apply fertiliser.
If water supply allows, irrigate
lawns in the cooler parts
of the day. If you have bare
patches appearing, you will
need to be patient and wait
until autumn before carrying
out any repair work.
Preparing the garden
for summer holidays
TASTE: Late December is the normal
time to be picking berries.
Because we traditionally
holiday in the Christmas/
January period, “deserting” the
garden at this time can lead
to problems. It’s better to plan
ahead and be prepared. Avoid
problems by not having your
vegetable crops maturing during
this time, applying a good
layer of mulch and installing
a timer or asking a neighbour
to water your garden while
you are away. This is especially
important with plants in containers.
Have a blooming fantastic
Christmas and enjoy the
holidays.

Nutbrown takes coaching role at Belfast
• By Gordon Findlater
SUPER RUGBY player-comereferee
Jamie Nutbrown will add
another notch to his belt next
year when he starts a new role as
an assistant coach at Belfast.
When the metro rugby season
kicks off in April, Nutbrown
– who is a current national
referee squad member – will mix
reffing with his new role as a
backs coach at the club he began
playing for as a five-year-old.
The 37-year-old is not sure
whether he will pursue coaching
long-term, but is looking forward
to the challenge with Belfast.
“My main drive is to stay
involved really,” said Nutbrown.
“It possibly could be
something that I could do more
of if I enjoy it . . . but I still
enjoy the refereeing and being
involved, actually running
around on the field.”
Nutbrown won’t be on-hand
during match days for Belfast
due to his referee commitments.
Next year he will move to
North Canterbury where he
will referee the combined
country and North Canterbury
competitions. It will mean less
travel for Nutbrown, who lives
in Swannanoa, and no conflict
of interests with his Belfast team
competing in the premier metro
competition.
The former halfback cracked
the Canterbury NPC team in the
early 2000s before going on to
play 15 games for the Crusaders.
However, he spent the majority
of his playing time in New
Zealand with Bay of Plenty and
the Chiefs, before a move to
Welsh club Ospreys.
Nutbrown started refereeing in
2014 and has gone on to referee
regularly at provincial level.
He also runs the touchline
in Super Rugby games. His
experience and skill as one of the
county’s top referees is likely to
translate into coaching.
“Thinking like a referee and
knowing the main things they’re
looking at is something that
could help out. I’ve done that
during pre-seasons in previous
years and just pointed out to
guys what we’re looking for
and worked around any law
changes,” said Nutbrown.
He admits next year will be a
challenge committing to both

coaching and reffing, but he
plans to finish up his provincial
duties at the end of 2019.
As to whether he rates his
playing or reffing skills higher,
he said “it depends who you ask.”
“I’d probably say a better
player because I spent a lot
more time playing than reffing.
It’s a bit harder to judge with
refereeing. If one coach thinks
you had a great game, there’s a
good chance the other one won’t
think so.”

PREBBLETON’S hope of
securing the services of one of
the country’s most promising
rugby prospects has been dashed
after they lost out to metro club
Burnside.
Isaiah Punivai made headlines
earlier in the year when he left
Christ’s College to take up a
scholarship with St Kentigern
College in east Auckland.
The 18-year-old played
junior rugby for Prebbleton.

back up after returning from
South America.
“The want to win was a bit
stronger than the fatigue level,
they are proud and competitive,”
“You can’t limit your own
options so it [Prebbleton] was
something to look at, but I guess
what’s done is done now, my
next few years are already set,”
said Punivai. “Burnside just kind
of ticked all the boxes for me.”
Prebbleton are disappointed to
miss out on the potential return
of one of the most high-profile
junior player to come out of the
club.
“My understanding from
those discussions are that he was
keen and the family was keen
to have a year with us for our
centennial year,” said Prebbleton
coach Derek Todd.
“He’s a player that we were
really looking forward to
having, not just because of his
ability, but about promoting
said Gunn.
“The message this week is to
reinforce that the reason we
fought so hard to earn a spot in
the final is for us to go and win
it.”
The Pride will be led by
captain Annalie Longo, who was
named national league MVP on
Tuesday.
The midfielder finished with
seven league goals, the third
most in the competition, behind
Capital’s Sarah Gregorius with
12, and Pride striker Cody
Taylor on 10.
The Pride have met the Lights
twice this year, splitting the
spoils. The Pride lost 0-3 when
they met at English Park last
month. However, they took the
honours 2-1 in Auckland in
October.
The two have met in the final
on two previous occasions. In

Punivai is contracted to

understood Prebbleton were due
to meet with Punivai after he
met with the academy.
“The outcome from that
meeting, as I understand it, is
that he was told he was playing
for Burnside,” said Todd.
“That’s fine, but why wasn’t
that offered to anyone else or
offered to us as his homegrown
club? If we’re talking about

here’s a kid that could have done

DRIVER JOHN Dunn showed
just how thrilled he was to rein
his 1000th winner when raising

THE ANNOUNCEMENT of
Marina Erakovic’s retirement
on Tuesday was a swift
reminder about the dark times
New Zealand tennis is currently
experiencing.
Tell this to anyone who
disagrees and they’ll be quick
to point out Michael Venus’
French Open doubles title last
year, and his final appearance at
Wimbledon recently. However,
we can only pretend for so long
that the future promotion of
the game in New Zealand can
survive on having three top 50
doubles players.
Do the names Oliver Marach,
Robert Farah and Juan Sebastian
Cabal ring a bell? No, even
a keen tennis fan would struggle
to know they’re three of the
world’s top five doubles players.
The only chance tennis has of
staying relevant in an age where
there’s more competition than
ever against other sports is a
legitimate top 100 singles player.
Erakovic didn’t set the world
alight but she was a gentle reminder
at grand slams that, yes,
New Zealand does exist.
In men’s tennis, we haven’t
had a top 100 ranked singles
player since Brett Steven in
1999. Surely the alarm bells
should be ringing 20 years after
last having a regular in the mix
at grand slams.
To make matters worse we
could have a top 100 player right
now.
Cameron Norrie is currently
ranked 91 in the world. The
23-year-old received little to no
help from Tennis NZ as his parents

Dark times for NZ tennis
Kingdom. There-in lies the
problem. To get the ranking you
need the money. Why then are
we operating on a system that
requires you to get the ranking
to get the money? Barring every
top tennis player in the country
having parents with a bottomless
wallet, the chances of

Things can be summed up
by looking at the state of our
national champs. This week

Auckland. With our top players
returning from a busy year of
travelling you’d expect them to

Reuben Statham and Ajeet Rai,

Ivanov, who is now based
in Sydney. The 17-year-old
was dominant on her way to
claiming the girl’s singles title,
not dropping a set in her five
matches.
Meanwhile, in the boy’s
singles, Heap was the best of
the Christchurch players. He
advanced to the semi-finals
after defeating Falck 6-4, 7-5 in
the quarter-finals. Heap lost to
eventual winner George Stoup
5-7, 1-6.

New Toyota Corolla is
better at everything
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 account as well,
the engine drives through
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
TOYOTA COROLLA SX: No-haggle price of $32,490.
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.
• Price – Toyota Corolla
SX, $32,490
• Dimensions –
Length, 4652mm;
width, 1843mm;
height, 1697mm
• Configuration –
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,
1998cc,
125kW, 200Nm,
10-step CVT
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9.2sec
• Fuel usage –
6l/100km
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) 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
The Star
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 nohaggle
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.

SALE PENDING
AVONHEAD: 11/56 Gladson Ave
FIRST IN, BEST DRESSED:
Independent living in the best 60+ complex in the NW.
Dear Clients,
Sometimes people think that when we sell a house we
just chuck it on the internet, let it sit, maybe do a couple
of open homes and then collect a huge fee for doing
……. what? Heck, says Mr Brown, I could have done that
myself, it only took 3 weeks. Maybe Mr Brown hasn’t
taken into account he has a demanding full time job, a
young family, elderly parents plus sport and community
commitments.
Mr Brown is unlikely to be able to complete the
transaction by himself. He will have seek advice about
the procedure, how to price it /market it and involve
someone to assist him with the legal aspects. It’s likely
the buyer will expect him to negotiate the commission
he’s not paying and it’s likely to be awkward negotiating
directly with the buyer. The buyer may not realise they
have no guarantees regarding the sale and their only
remedy in case of non-disclosure by the private seller is
time consuming and costly private court procedure.
By using a salesperson qualified and licensed under The
Real Estate Agents Act 2008 you will have a professional
working for you, available 7 days a week 24 hours a day.
They will have an excellent working knowledge of
current legislation as it relates to the real estate
transaction. They are accountable. They are skilled
negotiators. And they are patient, especially in the
current market which has seen properties on the
market a lot longer. And gee – you know sometimes we
don’t even get paid. The fee is paid only upon a
successful sale – I don’t know of any other profession
who would sometimes work for 3 months or more for
nothing? Do you?

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

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 CRACKDOWN on mobile

Only eight submi sions were

The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public

Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing

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

their horses Tommy and Kruze

The presentation is a prelude

As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l

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

“To get second behind Ireland

“Those guys over there

said.
“And it just showcases that

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’

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’ll 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.”

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

It was the firs time Mr Garth

how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality
products and came away
with a g od result so we’re very

The preparation for this year’s

intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two
months for lengthy w ekend
practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes t own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the
title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking t operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

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.

Mr Winder and his team, the

He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this

was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy

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.
