JACK Harris-Clarke’s family
has been saving money all year
to buy him a BMX bike.
It has been a tough ask for
the Hornby family.
But now their dream has
come true, thanks to the
Mazda Foundation, which has
stepped in with a $2500 grant.

Funding gets Jack on BMX track
The 10-year-old from
Hornby is autistic with limited
speech and has sensory issues,
which makes him only like
fatty food.
To combat his weight,
mother Kate Harris-Clarke has
tried to get him into various
sports, without much success.
But Jack finally found a sport
to play last year, when he went
riding at the Kyle Park BMX
track in Hornby with his nineyear-old
brother Dean.
But proper equipment was
expensive.
After trying various
organisations, the family
received good news last month
when they were granted the
money.
“It was incredible, I stood
there and bawled my eyes out,”
Mrs Harris-Clarke said.
Until last month, Jack rode a
cheap bike.
But with the grant from the
Mazda Foundation, the family
has enough savings (originally
intended for Jack) to buy new
equipment for his younger
brother too.

decision

round of
applause
• By Anan Zaki
APPLAUSE ERUPTED in the city
council chambers on Thursday as
Kyle Park was approved as the new
site for the planned Hornby mega
centre.
Greater Hornby Residents’
Association chairman Marc Duff
welcomed the decision.
“We can start going forward now
and get the facility
built for the benefit
of everyone,” he said.
Supporters of
the Hornby mega
centre, which will
include a library,
recreation area, pool
and customer service
facility, were present Marc Duff
at the meeting. They
were hoping to see an end to the
long-running saga.
“It feels like you can smell the
facility coming. I think it’s an
opportunity for the youth of
Hornby to have a facility that
generations before them didn’t
have,” Mr Duff said.
Save Denton Park chairman
Mark Peters said he can now “see
the light at the end of the tunnel.”

OUR FEATURE on Hampshire St (pages 4,
5 and 6) brings back some memories.
I could tell you a few stories but in a
family newspaper like Southern View, I
probably wouldn’t get away with it.
Needless to say, back in the day they were great times in the
east . . . probably still are, it’s just another generation having
them.
A lot of my mates were from Hampshire St and its surrounding
streets, and our social lives radiated through Aranui and across
the eastern suburbs – usually from Waimairi Beach to South
Brighton. Basically anywhere there was a good party.
All you had to do was cruise the streets and you’d find a party
happening somewhere. And they were pretty damn good. Unless
the Hampshires arrived . . .

Potential drainage trial concern
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A POTENTIAL flood
prevention measure may
not be a silver bullet for
solving drainage issues at the
Southshore estuary.
THe city council will trial a
groyne in Sumner to prevent
problems there. If that works
it will then
be trialled in
Ebbtide St,
Southshore.
But doubt
has been
cast over
whether the
trial to place
David East
a temporary
groyne at
the drain in
Burgess St, Sumner, will work at
the estuary.
Coastal Ward city councillor
David East, said the Sumner
waves and the estuary at
Southshore are “totally different
conditions.”
“In the meantime, we have
just got to carry on with a bit
of experimentation with some
options and get the problem
sorted once and for all,” he said.
It comes after the Coastal-
Burwood Community Board
raised concern over inefficient
stormwater drains in Southshore
filling up when it rains heavily
and the water being unable to
flow out to the estuary.
Board deputy chairman Tim
Sintes said he also has doubts the
trial will work at Ebbtide St, but
leaving it as it is was “not an option.”
City council land drainage
manager Keith Davison said
while staff are looking at the
trial on Burgess St, there are no
firm plans at this stage.
THe temporary groyne would
aim to artificially lower sand
levels on one side which, if
placed next to an outlet, may
help clear it.
But a city council report said
there would need to be natural
tidal waves to move the sand
laterally.
It said while natural tidal
effects are expected at Sumner,
there is no certainty it will work
at drain outlets in the estuary
such as Ebbtide St.
THe board recently inquired
with city council staff about the
status of Ebbtide St drain after
concerns it was not working
properly when it rained.
Mr Davison said during a
heavy rain event when the tide is
UNCERTAINTY:
A potential
flood prevention
measure may

flooding issues
of drains within
the Southshore
estuary.
high, the drain will be below
the tide level which means
it occasionally has to send a
temporary pump out.
He said when there is a
rainstorm the city council will
ensure the drain is clear of sand
and isn’t blocked.
“At this stage we will continue
this method and monitor the
effectiveness of it,” he said.
Placing a temporary groyne
at Ebbtide St will be dependent
on how successful the trial is
at Sumner and if the estuary
conditions are suitable, Mr
Davison said.

“I think it was an exciting

“So long as down the track, they

Hampshire St: Transformed into
Hampshire St in 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

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

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

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

Banaba said.
Now he mows the front lawns
of most of his neighbours and
said the area has a strong sense
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
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.”

Fire rages, homes at risk
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

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 5
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.
Murals have been 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

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

“When I was young, people
thought A-town was scary.
But I strongly believe there are

Mini national park trust gets award
A CONSERVATION trust which
created a mini national park
on Banks Peninsula has been
recognised at the annual civic
awards.
The Maurice White Native
Forest Trust received an
award at a private ceremony
on Wednesday for services to
conservation.
Twelve recipients were
presented with the city council
awards by Mayor Lianne Dalziel.
Maurice White, who is 94, set
up a fund in 1977 to purchase
land on Banks Peninsula and, in
1987, the first 109ha section was
bought for an ecological project
named Hinewai Reserve.
Following several other
additions, the reserve now
occupies 1250ha near Akaroa
and is highly-valued for its
indigenous flora and fauna,
including geckos, skinks, native
eels and fish.
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
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
Peninsula track.
“The award is a lovely
recognition of Maurice. I’m very
proud of what we have achieved,
although nature has done most
of it, we’ve just been helping on
the side,” he said.
Mr Wilson wants to see the
reserve grow further in the
future so it extends down to the
sea.
The other civic award
winners were Pauline Mohi for
services to public health,
Robert (Bob) Shearing for
community service, Pat
Duggan QSM JP and Paul
O’Connor MBE for their
community service to the
annual Anzac Day dawn service,
Stephen Phillips for community

SUMNER RESIDENTS may

cameras they want.
Safer Sumner has approached

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

camera monitoring incoming
traffic and one monitoring

for three years in relation to them
and other offences.
Ms Preston said additional
cameras would also be needed
with Sumner Rd due 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.”

Pressure on to save water
Local
News
Now
Fire rages, homes at risk
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.
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.”
•More water saving tips
are available on the city
council’s website at ccc.

PEDAL POWER: Jack Harris-Clarke

Jack’s on track
•From page 1
Jack’s interest in BMX has stuck with
him all year.
“We took him along [to Kyle Park]
last year with his younger brother Dean.
He would just ride and ride and ride,”
Mrs Harris-Clarke said.
“Jack would just continue riding, he
was sweating and really enjoying it.”
It was “thrilling” to see Jack do what
other children were doing, she said.
“For him to show an interest in
something like BMX not only ticks
the box with improving his fitness and
dropping a few kilos, but also because
he socially and behaviourally is part of a
group,” Mrs Harris-Clarke said.
She said Jack always rides under the
watchful eyes of his brother Dean, who
looks out for him on the track.
Dean is happy to see his older brother
with the new BMX bike and getting
active.
“It feels great because we finally have
a sport for Jack. It’s always been about
me so far,” he said.

Bright mural brought to
life at Beckenham School
A COLOURFUL mural has been
brought to life beside the river at
Beckenham School.
Well-known artist Ira Mitchell-
Kirk has helped pupils to paint a
13m x2m mural on the school’s
toilet block.
The artwork was unveiled on
Thursday and features native
birds and a wild landscape.
Twenty-five year 7 and 8 pupils
helped paint the mural.
The project is part of the
school’s weekly passion days it
holds to allow pupils to work on
subjects they are passionate about
– from art to mountain biking
and baking.
Teacher Nicky Dunlop, who is
in charge of the art projects for
the school’s passion days, helped
co-ordinate the painting of the
mural.
The city council donated a
grant of $250, which helped cover
the cost of the paint.
Mitchell-Kirk donated 40 hours
to help complete the project and
taught the pupils about time
management, budgeting and
planning out the mural.
She said the mural has received
positive attention from the public.

Trust provides more than
100 kids with Christmas gifts
MORE THAN 100 children
will have Christmas gifts under
the tree this year thanks to
people who donated toys to the
Birthright Canterbury Trust.
Parents were able to select
gifts for their children at the
Phillipstown Community
Hub during Christmas Toy
Day, which was supported by
Professionals Christchurch real
estate.
Trust manager Rhodora
Sagles said the Professionals
team volunteered to help get the
toys needed to make the day a
success.
“These gifts make a huge
difference for Birthright
families,” she said.
Professionals Christchurch
managing director Colin Lock
said the company hoped it had
contributed to a great Christmas
for children involved with the
trust.
In addition to offering parents
the opportunity to select toys
for their children, the Christmas
Toy Day also included a morning
tea, dancing and craft activities
for parents and children.

their family circumstances, and
offers practical, emotional and
educational support.
Maiyah gets a star
THE GREATEST gift
Gilberthorpe School pupil
Maiyah Martin could receive
for Christmas is to know people
in need have the necessities to
get by.
With the help of her mum
Donna and younger brother
MJ, Maiyah, 8, has been doing
her bit to fundraise for the City
Mission by selling baking at
food markets.
Her services were recognised
when she was presented with a
star by the City Mission as part
of its Walk of Stars pathway
which runs along Oxford Tce.
All of the proceeds from
her baking have gone towards
buying pamper packs full of
toiletries to donate to the City
Mission.
Maiyah’s mission is
documented on her Facebook
page, Girl With Cake Projects,
which has more than 300
Facebook likes.
The pathway displays the
names of people who have
made significant contributions
to the City Mission’s cause.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Dilo Oil – The Remarkable
Skin Rejuvenator
Until Rachel
Hunter’s popular
TV series “TOUR OF
BEAUTY” Dilo Oil was
relatively unknown being
one of the best-kept secrets of
the Pacific Islands. It may however
be the number one natural beauty oil
available as it possesses powerful natural
skin regeneration, anti-aging and healing
properties.
According to ethnobotanist Chris
Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-low)
Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as
it is one of the most effective agents
in promoting the regeneration and
formation of new tissue, thereby
accelerating wound healing and the
growth of healthy skin. Dilo Oil is
super-absorbing and nourishing
and can penetrate all three layers
of the skin, offering exceptional
cell hydration and regeneration.
As well as this, Dilo Oil has potent
anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial,
antifungal and antioxidant properties.
Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the
skin young and youthful and for just about
any skin complaint. Some of the conditions
for which it is considered helpful include
abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and acne
scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch marks,
wrinkles, blisters, burns (including chemical
and radiation), diabetic sores, rashes, shaving
irritation, dry or scaly skin, eczema, psoriasis,
Revered for centuries by Polynesians & Southeast Asians for its remarkable skin
anti-aging & healing properties, Dilo oil comes from the nut of the sacred Dilo
tree, “the tree of a thousand virtues”. Dilo oil is often called the beauty oil as it
can penetrate all three layers of the skin offering exceptional cell hydration &
regeneration. It has a unique ability to stimulate the growth of healthy skin cells
& this gives it powerful anti-aging & healing properties that can help reduce

Collagen
The Body’s Youth Protein
Collagen is the primary
protein in the body. It is a
major component of skin,
hair, nails, muscles, tendons,
ligaments, joint cartilage,
bones, gums, teeth, eyes, and
blood vessels.
In fact collagen is
the primary structural
component for all tissue in the
body, providing the strength
and resilience associated with
youth, beauty and wellness.
The body’s natural collagen
production decreases with age resulting in
many signs of aging, such as flaccid skin,
wrinkles, ligament and tendon injuries and
aching joints. Collagen supplementation
is one of the most fundamental things a
person can do to prevent premature aging
and promote youthful vitality.

the blood stream by over 90%.
A clinical study on NEOCELL
COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to
increase an average of 21% and up to 50%,
with 92% of test subjects experiencing
firmer, softer skin. Most people taking

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

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
agreement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffered 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.”

“We produced some top quality

Mr Garth, who has b en a

competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and

Mr Garth hopes t own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus

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
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en
September-May along with a Thai
f od truck.

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
international competition.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even 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
o pose the pla ned qua ry near
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.
