Bid to<br />

throw out<br />

part of<br />

liquor store<br />

appeal fails<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

THE CITY council has made its<br />

first ever move to have parts of a<br />

controversial liquor store appeal<br />

thrown out.<br />

However, its strike out application<br />

has failed.<br />

Steven Crotty and Michael Scott,<br />

who co-own Riccarton Liquorland,<br />

are planing to open a new<br />

store in the block shops at the intersection<br />

of Ferry and Aldwins Rd<br />

in Phillipstown.<br />

There is already a liquor store less<br />

than 50m away and 14 within 2km.<br />

The district licensing committee<br />

declined the application in May. It<br />

said another store could lead to an<br />

increase in alcohol related harm in<br />

a “very vulnerable” community.<br />

Riccarton Liquor Ltd is<br />

appealing the decision on<br />

grounds the licensing committee<br />

was biased and had predetermined<br />

its position before the hearing.<br />

The city council applied to the<br />

Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing<br />

Authority to have the claims struck<br />

out, saying there was no bias or<br />

predetermination.<br />

However, the authority said a<br />

strike out would be “premature.”<br />

Petition launched to save bank<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

A PETITION has been launched<br />

in a bid to stop Kiwibank closing<br />

its branch at Eastgate Shopping<br />

Centre.<br />

More than 1300 people have<br />

signed the petition, which will be<br />

put to Kiwibank chief executive<br />

Steve Jurkovich<br />

and chairwoman<br />

of the<br />

board Susan<br />

Macken before<br />

the closure on<br />

<strong>January</strong> 30.<br />

It was<br />

Jackie Simons<br />

launched by<br />

Port Hills MP<br />

Ruth Dyson, city councillor Yani<br />

Johanson and Woolston Community<br />

Association chairwoman<br />

Jackie Simons.<br />

New Zealand Post, which is a<br />

joint operation with Kiwibank,<br />

will also close on <strong>January</strong> 30.<br />

But NZ Post is still planning to<br />

provide postal and bill payment<br />

services in Eastgate through an<br />

agency.<br />

Head of retail Mark Yagmich<br />

said it is working on shifting<br />

postal services to another local<br />

business and hopes to be able to<br />

announce who the operator will<br />

be later this month.<br />

The Kiwibank closure comes<br />

three months after Environment<br />

CHANGE: Eastgate Shopping Centre’s Kiwibank and New<br />

Zealand Post branch will close at the end of the month, but<br />

postal services are planned for another agency.<br />

Canterbury reduced its bus services<br />

in Linwood. Environment<br />

Canterbury replaced the 535 bus<br />

route with a shopper service.<br />

The <strong>15</strong>5 service runs three<br />

times a day, Monday to Friday,<br />

and is on trial for 12 months.<br />

The closure of Kiwibank has<br />

been described as “one more<br />

frustrating thing” for residents<br />

living in the area.<br />

Ms Simons said the closure of<br />

Kiwibank is “just ridiculous” as<br />

it is the third branch in the area<br />

to close.<br />

Kiwibank has previously<br />

closed its branches on Stanmore<br />

Rd and in Woolston.<br />

Said Ms Simons: “We have<br />

just had a load of bus cuts in the<br />

Linwood-Bromley area . . . it is<br />

just one more frustrating thing<br />

for people who don’t have the<br />

same necessary advantages other<br />

people do,” she said.<br />

City councillor Yani Johanson<br />

said the closure was “death by<br />

a thousand cuts” and a petition<br />

was one way of expressing community<br />

concern.<br />

“It is absolutely heartbreaking<br />

to see the corporate approach<br />

they are taking at the expense of<br />

the community,” he said.<br />

Kiwibank announced in November<br />

it would open a standalone<br />

branch in Papanui on February<br />

1 and withdraw services<br />

from Eastgate and Merivale.<br />

A Kiwibank spokeswoman<br />

said the way its customers access<br />

banking services has changed<br />

dramatically over the past 17<br />

years. Less than 10 per cent<br />

of Kiwibank’s service transactions<br />

now occurs in its physical<br />

network.<br />

The nearest banking service is<br />

at The Palms Kiwibank, which is<br />

5km away.<br />

Ms Dyson said it was a terrible<br />

time of the year to be launching<br />

the petition, but it was “fantastic”<br />

to have got more than 1300<br />

signatures.<br />

Westpac provides the other<br />

banking service at Eastgate.<br />

Founder of Eldernet recognised<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

TWENTY-TWO years ago<br />

Eleanor Bodger established<br />

Eldernet to help people reaching<br />

their twilight years make some<br />

of the biggest decisions in their<br />

life.<br />

Now the 66-year-old has been<br />

recognised with a Companion<br />

of the New Zealand Order of<br />

Merit Award for services to seniors<br />

in the New Year Honours<br />

List.<br />

“One of the things that people<br />

commonly think about ageing<br />

is by the time you get older you<br />

have made the biggest decisions<br />

in your life. But an actual fact<br />

that is not true,” she said.<br />

In the 90s, information to help<br />

older people and their families<br />

make informed decisions during<br />

some of the most crucial moments<br />

in their life was hard to<br />

come by, Ms Bodger said.<br />

In 1997, when the internet was<br />

just beginning to take off, she<br />

took an opportunity to create<br />

the online comprehensive information<br />

service Eldernet.<br />

Each month the online database<br />

has millions of hits.<br />

It provides directories of rest<br />

home and retirement villages,<br />

home help services, and lifestyle<br />

information broadly covering<br />

travel, technology, and financial<br />

assistance.<br />

Ms Bodger said she was “absolutely<br />

flabbergasted” to receive<br />

the award.<br />

“Once I got over being<br />

flabbergasted I was so thrilled<br />

and honoured that the work<br />

we have been doing for a long<br />

time I guess has been found to<br />

be useful to people,” Ms Bodger<br />

said.<br />

It was during the February<br />

CARING:<br />

Founder of online<br />

comprehensive<br />

information<br />

service Eldernet<br />

Eleanor Bodger<br />

has been<br />

recognised in<br />

the New Year<br />

Honours List.<br />

22, 2011, earthquake Eldernet<br />

commissioned a report into the<br />

aged-care sector response to the<br />

emergency.<br />

“In terms of that broader<br />

stuff, of course, older people<br />

were significantly affected and<br />

many died before they saw their<br />

issues addressed with their own<br />

home,” Ms Bodger said.<br />

But she said many older<br />

people living in rest homes were<br />

more concerned about what<br />

was happening with staff, their<br />

families and children.<br />

“I think that was maybe part<br />

of the ageing process of having<br />

that really generalist and much<br />

more universal view of life.”<br />

Ms Bodger’s first introduction<br />

to the aged care sector was when<br />

she started working as a nurse at<br />

Nurse Maude in the late 1970s.<br />

From there, she delved into<br />

social and community work and<br />

has since had many highlights<br />

in her career.<br />

She helped establish the<br />

Linwood Community Resource<br />

Centre and co-created the<br />

annual LYFE (Linwood Youth<br />

Festival Experience).<br />

LYFE is a not-for-profit event<br />

celebrating youth diversity and<br />

achievement in the Linwood<br />

community.<br />

“I love meeting people and<br />

I guess the highlight for me<br />

is with the elder network we<br />

can be on the road up to three<br />

months of the year going<br />

around the country,” she said.<br />

Musician, historian and<br />

author receives honour<br />

WOOLSTON resident Edward<br />

Bohan has also been recognised<br />

in the New Year Honours list.<br />

He was made a Member of the<br />

New Zealand Order of Merit<br />

for services to music, historical<br />

research and literature.<br />

Mr Bohan has made<br />

significant contributions as a<br />

singer since the 1960s and as a<br />

historian and author from the<br />

1970s.<br />

He established his career as a<br />

singer in the United Kingdom<br />

between 1964 and 1987<br />

and developed an extensive<br />

repertoire of more than 170<br />

choral, orchestral, and operatic<br />

works before returning to New<br />

Zealand.<br />

Mr Bohan has since<br />

performed with the Canterbury<br />

Opera, Wellington City Opera<br />

and the State Opera of South<br />

Australia.<br />

He has sung regularly with<br />

the New Zealand Symphony<br />

Orchestra and Concert FM for<br />

Radio New Zealand and has<br />

performed without charge at<br />

various community and charity<br />

events.<br />

Mr Bohan was a member of<br />

the artistic panel of Canterbury<br />

Opera and has been influential<br />

in the career development of<br />

other high profile New Zealand<br />

opera singers.<br />

He has authored biographies,<br />

histories and historical fiction<br />

and has published 18 books,<br />

including the biographies<br />

Edward Stafford, New Zealand’s<br />

First Statesman (1994) and To Be<br />

a Hero: A biography of Sir George<br />

Grey (1998), which were both<br />

finalists in the Montana Book<br />

Awards.<br />

Mr Bohan’s other works<br />

include a series of historical<br />

detective novels featuring<br />

Inspector Patrick O’Rorke,<br />

the most recent of which was<br />

published in 2017.<br />

•From page 1<br />

‘“In particular, the authority is<br />

not confident that the argument<br />

about bias and predetermination<br />

can be separated from the<br />

grounds of appeal.”<br />

City council head of community<br />

support, governance and<br />

partnerships John Filsell said it<br />

considered these grounds could<br />

be disposed of separately from<br />

the rest of the appeal.<br />

“There was a lack of any<br />

evidence to support these<br />

grounds and they would be<br />

likely to waste time at the appeal<br />

hearing.”<br />

Mr Filsell said it was the first<br />

time the council had applied for<br />

a strike out of an appeal against a<br />

licensing decision.<br />

“The council’s solicitor will<br />

now be applying to ARLA to fix<br />

a time table for interlocutory<br />

matters leading to the full appeal<br />

hearing.”<br />

Long-term Phillipstown<br />

resident and advocate Wayne<br />

Hawker said whole he was “very<br />

disappointed” with the outcome,<br />

he did not think it was a massive<br />

set back.<br />

“It’s not over yet. It may be a<br />

long, drawn out process but we’ll<br />

be fighting this to the very end,”<br />

he said.<br />

Mr Hawker said claims there<br />

were bias were “a lot of bollocks”<br />

that would be hard to prove during<br />

the appeal.<br />

Linwood Ward city<br />

councillor Yani Johanson said it<br />

wasn’t appropriate to comment<br />

while the appeal process was<br />

ongoing.<br />

Redcliffs petrol station to be rebuilt<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

REDCLIFFS WILL lose its<br />

petrol station for nearly five<br />

months as it undergoes a $5<br />

million rebuild.<br />

BP2Go on Main St suffered<br />

damage in the February 22,<br />

2011, earthquake, owner Robert<br />

Jiang said.<br />

The redeveloped station<br />

will have an electric vehicle<br />

charger, new shop, car wash and<br />

a cafe.<br />

The station will close on<br />

<strong>January</strong> 28 and re-open in mid-<br />

May.<br />

“The earthquake damaged<br />

our buildings and<br />

[underground] fuel tanks. So all<br />

the buildings and fuel tanks will<br />

be replaced.”<br />

For the past six years,<br />

the station has used temporary<br />

above-ground fuel tanks.<br />

It will also expand its floor<br />

space after acquiring two<br />

neighbouring properties, Mr<br />

Jiang said.<br />

“The shop will be 300m 2 and<br />

at the moment it’s 85m 2 . The<br />

work shop will also expand, at<br />

the moment it’s 80m 2 and it will<br />

be 130m 2 ,” he said.<br />

Being the only petrol station<br />

in Redcliffs, Mr Jiang expects<br />

some disruption.<br />

UPGRADE: BP2Go will shut for about five months on <strong>January</strong> 28.<br />

Other nearby petrol<br />

stations include Challenge Port<br />

Hills Rd and NPD Port Hills<br />

Rd.<br />

Mr Jiang thanked the<br />

Redcliffs community for<br />

supporting the business since<br />

the earthquake.<br />

“After the rebuild, we<br />

will offer the standard<br />

BP service station and will add<br />

value to the community.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Park rangers<br />

recognised<br />

for work<br />

following fire<br />

THE WORK of park rangers who<br />

have helped regenerate native<br />

bush after the Port Hills fire has<br />

been recognised.<br />

The city council’s Port Hills and<br />

Banks Peninsula regional park<br />

rangers team has been given The<br />

Sign of the Packhorse Community<br />

Award by the Cashmere/Port<br />

Hills Community and Business<br />

Association.<br />

It acknowledges the team which<br />

is based at Victoria Park and “working<br />

tirelessly on the Port Hills.”<br />

The association presents five<br />

community and business awards<br />

each year based on community<br />

nominations.<br />

City council regional parks<br />

manager Kay Holder said the<br />

award is well-deserved recognition<br />

for the team of 17 rangers,<br />

including six seasonal staff.<br />

The Port Hills fire began on<br />

February 13, 2017, and at its<br />

height covered an area of more<br />

than 1600ha. The fire burnt into<br />

reserve areas on the Port Hills<br />

and destroyed 6500 trees.<br />

Since the fire the city council<br />

park rangers have spearheaded a<br />

massive replanting effort on city<br />

council reserve land.<br />

Further work<br />

for Sparks Rd<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

WORK HAS started on a new<br />

cycleway and infrastructure<br />

upgrades in Halswell and Hoon<br />

Hay.<br />

The city council project will<br />

take place on Sparks Rd, between<br />

Victors and Hendersons Rds.<br />

Work started last week.<br />

Construction of the water main<br />

will take several months, the city<br />

council said.<br />

Contractors from Fulton Hogan<br />

will first trench the intersection,<br />

place in the water pipes and then<br />

backfill the area.<br />

The new cycleway – part of the<br />

Quarryman’s Trail route – will<br />

also take several months to complete.<br />

Work on both the cycleway and<br />

water main is expected to finish<br />

by the end of July and work will<br />

be carried out between 7am and<br />

7pm every day.<br />

Lane shifts and shoulder<br />

closures will be in place while<br />

the work is being carried out and<br />

residents will have access to their<br />

properties at all times, the city<br />

council said.<br />

Last year, the city council<br />

completed work on the first stage<br />

of the Quarryman’s Trail between<br />

Moorhouse Ave and Victors Rd.<br />

LYTTELTON Museum has<br />

unearthed the stories of more<br />

than 800 women who served<br />

sentences between 1868 and 1913<br />

in what was once New Zealand’s<br />

largest prison.<br />

The Women of Lyttelton Gaol<br />

project aims to shed light on a<br />

part of Lyttelton’s history, which<br />

has remained largely unnoticed<br />

by the wider community.<br />

The museum’s website<br />

provides the public access to<br />

a database and stories of the<br />

people who were imprisoned,<br />

including the names, ages, place<br />

of birth, convictions, eye and<br />

hair colour of the women.<br />

The project also includes an<br />

original sound installation on<br />

the goal site in Oxford St that<br />

will run over summer and an<br />

exhibition at Lyttelton Library.<br />

The 9min sound piece is<br />

condensed from more than 10<br />

hours of audio, with the stories<br />

of the prisoners voiced by more<br />

than 30 women with diverse<br />

accents to fit their characters.<br />

Among the records, Lyttelton<br />

Museum found 40 per cent of<br />

the women who served were<br />

born in Ireland and almost all of<br />

their offences were committed<br />

outside of Lyttelton.<br />

The youngest prisoner on<br />

record was a 14-year-old who<br />

was locked up for stealing a hat.<br />

The oldest was about 80 who<br />

was serving her 20th sentence at<br />

Lyttelton.<br />

One of the prisoners, Amy<br />

Bock, posed as a man to marry<br />

the daughter of a South Otago<br />

boarding house owner in 1909.<br />

Sisters Bella and Mary<br />

McKegney served about 80<br />

sentences over 50 years, with<br />

their actions once attracting the<br />

attention of newspapers across<br />

New Zealand.<br />

Arshaan meets cricket heroes<br />

YOUNG HALSWELL cricketer<br />

Arshaan Askari got up close and<br />

personal with some of his heroes.<br />

Arshaan, 8, got the chance to<br />

meet Black Caps captain Kane<br />

Williamson and Sri Lankan<br />

captain Dinesh Chandimal before<br />

day one of the Boxing Day test<br />

match at Hagley Oval.<br />

Arshaan won an ANZ<br />

competition to become the coin<br />

toss kid for the day’s play.<br />

He has been playing cricket<br />

for two years with the Halswell<br />

Hurricanes.<br />

Arshaan said it was awesome to<br />

meet Williamson and Chandimal.<br />

“I love playing cricket. I play<br />

after school and on the weekend.<br />

It was so cool meeting the captains<br />

and getting to be a part of the coin<br />

toss.”<br />

ANZ head of sponsorship Sue<br />

McGregor said Arshaan was one<br />

of 23 young cricketers selected to<br />

take part in the pre-match ritual<br />

this season.<br />

“We are delighted to bring together<br />

the next generation of cricketers<br />

and their heroes. At ANZ we<br />

believe it’s important to involve<br />

and encourage young cricketers,<br />

which is why we continue to support<br />

grassroots sports,” she said.<br />

“We hope that when they meet<br />

their idols out on the pitch, they<br />

are inspired to continue training<br />

hard and pursuing their dreams.”<br />

Williamson and tossed the coin at the Boxing Day.<br />

But the city council says it has<br />

no plans to install a permanent<br />

link for the two roads.<br />

Mr Keen said McMahon and<br />

Augustine Drives had parking<br />

bays, which meant greater room<br />

to cater for the increased traffic<br />

since the sports facility opened<br />

last year.<br />

Euphrasie Drive was not as<br />

wide, he said.<br />

City council manager capital<br />

delivery Darren Moses said<br />

there is currently a truck access<br />

between McMahon and Augustine<br />

Drives, but it only for<br />

heavy trucks on a “case-by-case<br />

basis.”<br />

“For major events, Nga Puna<br />

Wai will seek one off permission<br />

to use the McMahon entrance to<br />

help spread traffic,” he said.<br />

Mr Keen said the city council<br />

should seal the truck access.<br />

“Why don’t you [council] just<br />

make it easier for people? It just<br />

beggars belief.”<br />

“This is the formed [truck<br />

access] they had to form to build<br />

Mr Keen said planners overlooked<br />

the impact from traffic<br />

travelling from the Aidanfield<br />

Drive overbridge.<br />

“To build everything down the<br />

Halswell Rd end of Augustine<br />

Drive was short-sighted,” he<br />

said.<br />

“Does everybody come from<br />

that side of the city? No. So<br />

guess what? The traffic is going<br />

down Wigram Rd, coming up<br />

the Aidanfield Drive overbridge<br />

right through and they turn on<br />

Euphraise Drive, which is a very<br />

little street.”<br />

Mr Keen presented his concerns<br />

to the Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board<br />

last month.<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

referred it to city council staff for<br />

consideration.<br />

Mr Keen built a house on<br />

Euphrasie Drive, Aidanfield<br />

four years ago, after losing his<br />

St Albans home in the February<br />

22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

“We’ve been through enough,”<br />

he said.<br />

Beautifully presented by my fastidious vendor this standalone<br />

townhouse is a smart choice for those who want an easy-care property<br />

in a popular location.<br />

With spacious open plan living leading onto an enclosed conservatory<br />

you can entertain in comfort. The added benefit of a downstairs toilet is<br />

always a good plus to any property. With good indoor/outdoor flow from<br />

the conservatory area to an immaculate courtyard and garden. Enough<br />

to potter around in and perhaps grow some vegetables, but easy care<br />

enough that you can also have your weekends free to enjoy the many<br />

amenities the area offers.<br />

Two large double bedrooms upstairs along with a roomy bathroom<br />

complete the package this lovely home has on offer.<br />

A good sized single internal access garage keeps your car tucked away at<br />

night, along with off street parking as well. Secure fencing allows you to<br />

keep children or pets safe while outside.<br />

Well-known Avon Rowing Club<br />

member will be missed<br />

• Matt Slaughter<br />

THE AVON Rowing Club<br />

community is mourning the<br />

death of one of its longestserving<br />

members.<br />

Ray Flanagan, who was<br />

known as Charlie, died<br />

unexpectedly at home aged 72.<br />

Mr Flanagan had been a<br />

member of the club since 1967<br />

and was successful on the<br />

water as a competitor and off it<br />

as a coach.<br />

He went through the grades<br />

and was a member of the<br />

club’s winning junior eight in<br />

1971.<br />

Mr Flanagan then went<br />

on to win the champion eight<br />

competition at Karapiro in<br />

1976.<br />

He rowed competitively<br />

until 1991 before turning his<br />

attention to coaching.<br />

Close friend and fellow club<br />

member, Warren Blazey, said<br />

Mr Flanagan helped to make<br />

Avon a great rowing club on<br />

and off the water.<br />

“He’s been a tireless worker<br />

and a life member.”<br />

Mr Blazey said Mr Flanagan<br />

was “cheerful and charming”<br />

and “always had a good laugh.”<br />

CHAMPIONS: Ray Flanagan (left), Warren Blazey and Dave Husband at the Avon Rowing<br />

Club.<br />

His life was celebrated at a<br />

service at St Mary’s Cathedral<br />

on Friday.<br />

A post on the Canterbury<br />

Rowing Association’s<br />

Facebook page said Mr<br />

Flanagan led a number of<br />

rowing teams to great results.<br />

Now<br />

Police warn speeding drivers<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

DRIVERS CAUGHT speeding<br />

in the east are, on average,<br />

travelling <strong>15</strong>-20km/h over the<br />

speed limit – and police say it has<br />

to stop.<br />

Police issued 12 speeding<br />

tickets during four checkpoint<br />

operations it carried out leading<br />

up to Christmas.<br />

They will be<br />

continuing to<br />

run checkpoints<br />

in the eastern<br />

suburbs to<br />

crack down<br />

on the “fatal<br />

Jim Currie<br />

five” driving<br />

offences, which<br />

are using a mobile phone while<br />

driving, dangerous manoeuvres,<br />

not wearing a seat belt, drink<br />

driving and speeding.<br />

Sergeant Jim Currie said<br />

police want to continue<br />

reinforcing the message that<br />

these offences cause a lot of<br />

crashes and damage.<br />

“We want to reduce that and<br />

make people safer on the roads,”<br />

he said.<br />

During the roading<br />

initiative launched during the<br />

Christmas season, police carried<br />

out checkpoints on Cuthberts<br />

Rd, Rothesay Rd near Burwood<br />

DANGER: Seven speeding tickets were issued on Cuthberts Rd when police held a checkpoint<br />

last year.<br />

Hospital, Mairehau Rd and<br />

Avondale Rd.<br />

Seven speeding tickets were<br />

issued on Cuthberts Rd, three<br />

on Rothesay Rd and two on<br />

Avondale Rd.<br />

No tickets were issued on<br />

Mairehau Rd.<br />

He said most people police<br />

issued a speeding ticket to were<br />

“philosophical.”<br />

“Most of them didn’t try to<br />

make too many excuses . . . they<br />

just realised they had made the<br />

mistake and they had to pay the<br />

price,” he said.<br />

Drivers caught speeding<br />

10km/h or less over the limit will<br />

be fined $30, $80 for 11-<strong>15</strong>km/h<br />

over the limit and $120 for 16-<br />

20km/h.<br />

The highest speed over<br />

the limit recorded by police<br />

was a vehicle driving 72km/h<br />

in a 50km/h zone on Avondale<br />

Rd.<br />

“We got them on a laser and<br />

they must have seen us and<br />

turned off on a side street but<br />

we are always prepared for that,”<br />

Sergeant Currie said.<br />

Police took off after the vehicle,<br />

stopped them and issued a<br />

notice.<br />

“They gave the excuse they<br />

didn’t know where they were<br />

and they were lost. I said if you<br />

were, we would have given you<br />

directions as well,” Sergeant<br />

Currie said.<br />

Police are also planning to<br />

target traffic outside primary<br />

schools as the academic year<br />

begins to start up again later this<br />

month.<br />

Sergeant Currie said it will<br />

be looking at making sure<br />

seat belts are restrained,<br />

drivers are not causing parking<br />

problems around the schools and<br />

ensuring children and<br />

new entrants get to the school<br />

safely.<br />

“You never know when we are<br />

going to turn up so you have to<br />

behave,” he said.<br />

Cathedral Grammar Pre-School<br />

located within the heart of the city<br />

Our play based learning<br />

approach supports your child<br />

as they begin their exciting<br />

journey as a lifelong learner.<br />

Play, laughter and learning are essential<br />

ingredients for a successful Pre-School<br />

education. The crucial early years need to<br />

be nurtured, shaped and cherished as your<br />

child takes their first steps in education.<br />

Cathedral Grammar Pre-School proudly<br />

teaches the children of tomorrow, today.<br />

At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your<br />

whole family is welcomed into the wider<br />

embrace of the Grammar community<br />

including whole school fun and functions,<br />

services and support as well as smooth<br />

transition to the Junior School and links to<br />

the Prep School.<br />

In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built<br />

Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers,<br />

your child will discover by curiosity,<br />

investigation and exploration. Our low<br />

child/teacher ratios, ensure your child’s<br />

quality individual and group learning.<br />

Research states that play may be the<br />

single most important things that humans<br />

do. “Our play based learning approach<br />

supports your child as they begin their<br />

exciting journey as a lifelong learner” says<br />

Principal Scott Thelning.<br />

Your child will develop essential<br />

foundations in literacy and numeracy. He<br />

or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised<br />

facilities, subjects and staff including Art,<br />

Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel.<br />

When children feel good about<br />

themselves and their abilities, they are able<br />

to take flight and explore, discover, take<br />

risks and play, laugh and learn effectively<br />

and successfully. “Self-esteem is at the core<br />

of this development process” Thelning<br />

says.<br />

Being an inner city Pre-School gives<br />

you a wonderfully easy opportunity to<br />

engage in your child’s learning if you are<br />

working in the CBD. Every opportunity<br />

is taken to utilise our central city location<br />

to extend our ‘campus’ from the Botanic<br />

Cathedral Grammar School Bamford school<br />

– Every Child, Every Day<br />

<strong>2019</strong> edition<br />

The secret of getting ahead is getting<br />

started and at The Cathedral Grammar<br />

School that start is something<br />

extraordinary. Our school is a place of<br />

ambition alongside preparation. We<br />

balance our enduring commitment<br />

to tradition and our Christian values<br />

with an energy to explore and create,<br />

all amplified within small, focused<br />

classrooms and a family centred<br />

environment. Your child’s journey to<br />

excellence begins here with a solid<br />

foundation of academic success and a<br />

well-rounded character.<br />

Cathedral Grammar, with its attached<br />

Pre-School, is a Year 1- Year 8 Primary<br />

School, for both boys and girls. Small<br />

maximum class sizes at every year<br />

level ensures that our teachers build<br />

strong, meaningful and productive<br />

relationships with their students.<br />

Principal Scott Thelning says that the<br />

underlying promise to parents is that<br />

the School will nurture, know and grow<br />

every child, every day in a holistic<br />

manner as they are prepared for life.<br />

“Our student-centred philosophy, caring,<br />

family focussed culture, wonderful<br />

relationships, high expectations and vast<br />

array of opportunities provide a fantastic<br />

environment for all students to thrive.<br />

Our high quality staff employ a variety<br />

of teaching methods within structured<br />

classrooms to provide a balance of<br />

tradition and rigour, while being curious<br />

and adventurous”.<br />

Our school structure is unique among<br />

New Zealand schools and designed to<br />

ensure students have the opportunity to<br />

make the most of their formative years. At<br />

Cathedral Grammar, our students learn<br />

in both co-educational and single-sex<br />

classrooms at times when this best suits<br />

their learning styles. In Pre-School and<br />

the Junior School (Yr 1-3) students learn<br />

in a co-educational environment, while<br />

our Yr 4-8 students attend either our Girls’<br />

School or Boys’ School. “This structure<br />

provides the best of both worlds with<br />

learning, teaching and social interactions<br />

taking place across multiple settings”.<br />

Year 7 opportunities for<br />

girls<br />

Wanting to be assured that your child is<br />

prepared well for secondary school is a<br />

concern for parents. Although the Year<br />

7 level is full for boys in <strong>2019</strong>, there are<br />

some vacancies for girls still available.<br />

The Intermediate Years at Cathedral<br />

Grammar are specifically designed to<br />

deliver the best possible preparation<br />

for our girls who attend a variety of<br />

schools across the city, says Head of<br />

the Girl’s School, Brigit McCormack.<br />

“We not only offer the girls a very strong<br />

academic curriculum, we also offer<br />

them a wide variety of opportunities<br />

and the chance to transition into their<br />

teenage years in a supportive, caring<br />

and inclusive environment. Our unique<br />

Mitre Programme for intermediate<br />

students provides opportunities to<br />

develop leadership potential, participate<br />

in Service projects and develop skills<br />

for personal growth and development.<br />

We treasure individuality and strive for<br />

our girls to be inclusive, courageous<br />

with a strong sense of identity. The<br />

girls flourish in our environment which<br />

is based around a specialist teacher<br />

timetable. They leave us as confident and<br />

connected learners who are ready for<br />

the challenges of secondary school and<br />

beyond.”<br />

Catholic Cathedral College Chisnallwood Intermediate<br />

Catholic Cathedral College has just<br />

celebrated <strong>15</strong>0 years of history on<br />

its site next to the Cathedral of the<br />

Blessed Sacrament. From the first<br />

arrival of the Sisters of Our Lady of the<br />

Missions in 1868, Catholic education<br />

has been delivered to generations of<br />

Christchurch families in this place.<br />

Today Catholic Cathedral College<br />

is a vibrant community of 450 boys<br />

and girls from Year 7 to Year 13. In<br />

the Marist tradition we focus on the<br />

sense of family and the bonds that<br />

this creates through our academic and<br />

pastoral systems. Our vision statement<br />

is: Guided to live by faith; with mana,<br />

compassion, integrity, and a drive for<br />

personal excellence.<br />

As a Catholic Special Character<br />

school, we aim to develop each<br />

student’s relationship with Jesus, and<br />

each student is supported to be the<br />

best that he or she can be. Besides<br />

excellent academic results each year,<br />

we guide our students to make a<br />

full contribution to their College and<br />

communities through service, respect,<br />

integrity and a strong sense of social<br />

justice.<br />

We celebrate our cultural diversity<br />

whilst acknowledging the important<br />

place of Tangata Whenua and the<br />

obligations we have under the Treaty<br />

of Waitangi in our bicultural society.<br />

Every student from Year 11 is mentored<br />

to ensure he or she is on the most<br />

appropriate academic or vocational<br />

pathway. Our goal is that each<br />

individual will graduate as a young<br />

adult who is confident in their ability,<br />

has respect for themselves and others<br />

and with the knowledge that they have<br />

a faithful relationship with Jesus.<br />

Established as a Junior High School,<br />

Chisnallwood is specifically designed to<br />

meet the needs of students in their preadolescent<br />

years. This design has been<br />

carefully developed over many years<br />

and is based on the best that has been<br />

seen in New Zealand and Internationally.<br />

By enrolling at this school you are<br />

opening doorways to opportunities that<br />

will prepare you fully for secondary and<br />

beyond. A well-balanced mixture of<br />

specialist and home room teaching in<br />

this highly resourced environment will<br />

capture your interest and attention in a<br />

manner that will ensure your success.<br />

Recognised as a leader in its field,<br />

Chisnallwood is nationally renowned<br />

for its achievements particularly in the<br />

areas of music, the arts, sport and all<br />

academic endeavours. This success<br />

is brought about by the quality of<br />

the resources we have and the<br />

commitment of the highly trained and<br />

dedicated teaching staff.<br />

Our values of Respect, Relationships,<br />

Responsibilities and Resilience (Our<br />

Starting<br />

a new<br />

school<br />

Whether you have a new entrant, you have moved to a new area or have<br />

children starting at an intermediate or secondary school for the first time,<br />

the feeling of new beginnings can be daunting.<br />

This can be a stressful time for both parents and children alike, so it’s<br />

important that the lines of communication are open so that children can<br />

express their emotions at this time.<br />

If your child is at primary school it’s a good idea to take part in some of<br />

the school drop offs and pick-ups if possible. This means you get to meet<br />

other parents and also allows you to organise all important play dates<br />

that will soon see your child forming new relationships which will settle<br />

them quicker.<br />

Joining sports teams or different organisations within the community<br />

will also help your child meet other children their own age with similar<br />

interests. Make sure you are communicating with your children about the<br />

exciting new possibilities that a new school may bring – new friends, new<br />

teachers and new routines. Making sure they know they can talk with you<br />

about any concerns often gives them peace of mind.

<strong>2019</strong> edition<br />

Making the right<br />

impression<br />

Small school has a big<br />

impact<br />

At Hagley we encourage our students to<br />

be aware of their identities, or what they<br />

look like to others.<br />

What our students wear says a lot<br />

about them and of course a lot about<br />

Hagley. For us, it’s simply saying “be<br />

yourself”. Wearing what they like is one<br />

component in establishing whom they<br />

are and also in knowing that they’re in a<br />

school that accepts them for that.<br />

We also encourage our students to<br />

think about what they look like in the<br />

digital world too. John Parsons, a leading<br />

expert on cyber-safety, advises young<br />

people that the message given by<br />

their online appearance should be a<br />

really positive one. Their online identity<br />

should give a “chin up, shoulders back”<br />

message about them. We reinforce that<br />

message and that our students should<br />

actively manage their online reputations.<br />

A negative digital footprint that others<br />

might look at and form a judgement<br />

from is not how they want to appear.<br />

Whatever they are applying for, people<br />

will want to know more about them<br />

and they’ll often find that out online.<br />

We encourage our students to put<br />

on their “best clothes” in the digital<br />

world so that they build themselves an<br />

identity asset online, an identity that<br />

shows a self-confident person. It’s the<br />

persona that they would like to put<br />

forward if they were in fact physically<br />

present in the room with that person<br />

who was checking them out online and<br />

considering them for that scholarship,<br />

job, or whatever they were hoping to be<br />

selected for.<br />

Whatever their plans, we want our<br />

students to value their identities in all<br />

its senses. In many respects, it’s one the<br />

most important assets they have.<br />

Hornby High School<br />

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo<br />

e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste.<br />

Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te Kura Huruhuru<br />

Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the<br />

Hornby High School community.<br />

What an exciting year we had in 2018,<br />

<strong>2019</strong> looks to be even better as we strive<br />

to get ever closer to our vision as ‘a<br />

centre of creative excellence’.<br />

Having occupied the first of our new<br />

buildings, we watch with excitement as<br />

stage two of our rebuild takes place,<br />

giving us some of the best secondary<br />

school buildings in the country at the<br />

moment.<br />

The spaces encourage all the best<br />

learning habits, and every day we see<br />

our amazing students, our beautiful<br />

rangatahi, engaged with and enjoying<br />

their learning.<br />

During an interview with a new parent<br />

late in 2018, he said ‘You are proud<br />

of this school, aren’t you’, to which I<br />

answered ‘yes we are’. He came right<br />

back at me and said ‘When I dropped<br />

off our enrolment forms, I could see it<br />

in your kids.’ And he is so right. There is<br />

much to be proud of at Te Huruhuru Ao<br />

o Horomaka Hornby High School.<br />

In our new buildings some of the best<br />

pedagogy, the most modern curriculum,<br />

is developing as students and staff<br />

explore new, more exciting, and more<br />

engaging, ways to learn together. All<br />

of this exciting learning is magnified<br />

by our use of Chromebooks. The end<br />

result of this is that, for example, writing<br />

achievement is accelerated at twice the<br />

average for children across the country,<br />

one of many achievements of which we<br />

are very proud. We ask that all children<br />

come to Hornby High School with a<br />

serviceable Chromebook.<br />

On top of all that, music, arts, sport and<br />

culture are flourishing in an environment<br />

in which every student is encouraged<br />

to be her or his best. This approach lies<br />

at the heart of our development of the<br />

many gifts and talents that every child<br />

has.<br />

And all of that takes place on the solid<br />

foundation that is our school values:<br />

Commitment, Achievement, Resilience,<br />

and Respect.<br />

Yet again, what an amazing year we are<br />

going to have. Please do join us and be<br />

a part of the extraordinary adventures of<br />

our rangatahi in <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

Preparing students for<br />

their future<br />

School preparation<br />

“Our aim is simple... to provide the<br />

best education possible for every<br />

student”<br />

Giving students the opportunity<br />

to study from an innovative and<br />

broad curriculum is critical to<br />

providing each student a pathway<br />

that meets their individual needs.<br />

We allow for a greater range<br />

and flexibility in subject choice<br />

including the utilization of the<br />

secondary/tertiary interface.<br />

This reinforces the philosophy<br />

underpinning personalised<br />

learning and is strongly supported<br />

by understanding our students’<br />

interests, passions, talents, and<br />

ultimately their career aspirations.<br />

We understand that for effective<br />

learning to take place, it has<br />

to be implemented in such a<br />

way that students will be highly<br />

engaged. The school does this<br />

in a ‘forward thinking’ way by<br />

creating learning environments<br />

that allow our students to see<br />

value in what they do and achieve.<br />

Papanui “PRIDE” is what we<br />

represent and we demonstrate<br />

this by having young adults leave<br />

our school as confident learners<br />

who have gained the appropriate<br />

qualifications and social skills<br />

to become valued contributing<br />

members of society.<br />

All that we do here is reinforced<br />

by positive relationships, an ethos<br />

of caring, cultural responsiveness,<br />

inclusion, and high expectations<br />

– what we call “Our Full service<br />

Model”. The school highly values<br />

the connectedness of curricular<br />

and co-curricular learning. We have<br />

a philosophical understanding that<br />

the holistic development of the<br />

student is critical to their individual<br />

success.<br />

The school has worked hard to<br />

consolidate recent initiatives to<br />

ensure sustained and continuous<br />

improvement. You are invited to<br />

Villa Maria College is a state integrated Catholic<br />

secondary school for girls in Years 7 – 13. The College<br />

was opened by the Sisters of Mercy in 1918 and<br />

beautiful grounds. The spirit of Mercy is the very heart<br />

of our College, and there is an emphasis on service<br />

to others and the community. Girls are educated in<br />

Catholic teachings, and this Catholic character is<br />

evident throughout the College.<br />

Our Mission is to: “Empower each young woman<br />

to determine her potential, live Gospel values,<br />

confidently embrace life-long learning and as a Mercy<br />

woman be inspired to make a difference”.<br />

The education Villa Maria College offers is of the<br />

highest quality, and we are proud of our excellent<br />

academic results. Girls are encouraged to stretch<br />

themselves and work towards individual goals,<br />

so they fulfil their potential. Our strong academic<br />

he said.<br />

“The pads encourage<br />

youngsters to interact and<br />

The tree of LIFE<br />

New research on Gingko<br />

Biloba excites researchers!<br />

For decades scientists believed brain<br />

damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />

was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />

not be repaired. In more recent times,<br />

new research has shown that neurons<br />

can grow back with the right conditions<br />

and that a special extract of Gingko<br />

Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has<br />

been clinically found to assist in this.<br />

The implications for stroke recovery are<br />

obvious, but researchers also know many<br />

of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”<br />

that over a period of time slowly<br />

reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN<br />

is prescribed worldwide as a natural<br />

supportive agent for a healthy brain and<br />

cognitive function. It supports healthy<br />

mental performance, concentration, focus,<br />

alertness, motor function and to help<br />

with many conditions including tinnitus<br />

(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo<br />

and normal balance. TEBONIN improves<br />

micro-circulation and helps the blood<br />

flow reach those critical places it needs to<br />

get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes<br />

the red blood cells more pliable and<br />

capillary walls more flexible.<br />

TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />

studied and researched herbal products in<br />

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />

extract manufactured via a patented<br />

multi-step extraction process. Each small<br />

tablet contains a highly concentrated<br />

BOOST BRAIN<br />

PERFORMANCE UP TO 30%<br />

TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets<br />

being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60<br />

controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent<br />

efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30<br />

years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance.<br />

Studies on TEBONIN Show:<br />

- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement<br />

in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall.<br />

- Reduces errors made & mental stress.<br />

- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore<br />

brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke.<br />

- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal<br />

balance.<br />

- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body.<br />

- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels.<br />

- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light.<br />

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic<br />

clinical dose without having to take a large<br />

amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba<br />

products on the market, and tested by a<br />

major medical journal, only TEBONIN<br />

passed all five of the test requirements.<br />

Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements<br />

and the rest didn’t pass more than three<br />

out of five requirements. TEBONIN is<br />

the only Gingko biloba extract shown<br />

to activated all areas of the brain and is<br />

considered the gold standard in Gingko.<br />

TEBONIN has been trusted by millions<br />

of consumers worldwide for over 30<br />

years with more than 8,000,000 tablets<br />

consumed each day.<br />

number one natural beauty oil available.<br />

According to ethnobotanist<br />

Chris Kilham, Dilo is a powerful<br />

skin regenerator, as it is one of<br />

the most effective agents in<br />

promoting the regeneration<br />

and formation of new skin<br />

tissue. It is super-absorbing and<br />

can penetrate all three layers of<br />

the skin, offering exceptional<br />

cell hydration and regeneration.<br />

Dilo contains powerful<br />

antibacterial, antioxidant and<br />

anti-inflammatory properties<br />

which promotes the growth of<br />

healthy and glowing skin.<br />

Organic Argan oil (or liquid<br />

gold) is the next amazing<br />

oil that is extremely rich in<br />

beneficial nutrients, fatty acids<br />

and vitamin E. It gives the<br />

skin a youthful glow restores<br />

elasticity and leaves the skin<br />

feeling plumper and softer.<br />

the Pegasus Bay coastline to the Kaikoura<br />

Ranges, out over the ocean and around to<br />

the city.<br />

Built to impeccable standards in 2006<br />

and with the timeless look of Oamaru<br />

Stone both inside and out giving the home<br />

a substantial feel. Spanning a floor area<br />

of approx.327sqm and with diverse and<br />

functional living arrangements that will<br />

cater to fantastic dining and entertaining<br />

and family lifestyles.<br />

The view from the kitchen and breakfast<br />

open plan with the living area and features<br />

built in furniture and a drop down movie<br />

screen. Large sliding doors offers outdoor<br />

flow to decks on both sides. A separate<br />

formal lounge adds convenience for all<br />

occasions and opens onto the extensive<br />

patio and sheltered alfresco entertaining<br />

terrace.<br />

When Winter finds its way back around,<br />

comfort is easily achieved thanks to a gas<br />

fire, heatpump, under floor heating and<br />

double glazing.<br />

There’s 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2<br />

downstairs, the master bedroom is<br />

and a bath. You will also enjoy access to a<br />

front balcony, and a 2nd side patio with a<br />

spa pool and seating area to soak up the<br />

expansive views.<br />

The setting is amazing on its sprawling<br />

1701sqm of grounds that have been<br />

extensively landscaped with hardy plantings<br />

for minimal upkeep while offering the best<br />

of privacy. The varied outdoor living areas<br />

really allow for making the most of the<br />

warm summer nights.<br />

Seriously good real estate and too<br />

special not to experience in person. Make<br />

no mistake, very motivated owners are<br />

demanding a sale as they are relocating<br />

back into the city for family commitments.<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />

has b en a proached in a bid to<br />

fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />

Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />

Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />

counci lor David East wants<br />

WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />

park’s private owners into<br />

repairing the potholes which are<br />

a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />

WorkSafe chief inspector<br />

a se sment southern Da ren<br />

Handforth said it may be able to<br />

take action under the Health and<br />

Safety at Work Act 20<strong>15</strong>, “as a<br />

person conducting a busine s or<br />

undertaking.”<br />

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />

is aware of the concerns raised by<br />

Cr East abou the car park.<br />

“WorkSafe has completed<br />

an a se sment visi to the site<br />

and is engaging with the owner<br />

to advise them that it is their<br />

responsibility to manage their<br />

risks a propriately.”<br />

Different parts of the car park<br />

are owned by various people<br />

and the Coastal-Burw od<br />

Community Board recently<br />

wrote to them about its concerns<br />

around health and safety.<br />

Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />

in the past has b en ge ting in<br />

touch with the landlords and<br />

owners and ge ting them to<br />

agr e to anything. “The board<br />

a preciates that multi-ownership<br />

of the parking space may present<br />

a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />

to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />

said the le ter.<br />

One reply has b en received so<br />

far from an owner who is wi ling<br />

to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />

the owners would have to agr e<br />

to undertake work.<br />

Cr East said there had b en<br />

a “number of incidences” in<br />

the car park of people injuring<br />

themselves which had gone<br />

unreported.<br />

“I’ve always though that it<br />

has b en quite amazing that we<br />

haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />

or senior citizens perhaps<br />

tri ping in those potholes and<br />

doing themselve some damage.”<br />

He is confiden the new<br />

a proach wi l bring results.<br />

“I think the WorkSafe<br />

involvement may prove to be the<br />

lever that we are l oking for.”<br />

New bid to fix potholes<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />

Community Board has taken the<br />

rare step of starting a petition<br />

to figh the city council over<br />

funding.<br />

Signatures are being co lected<br />

in a bid to get funding for a community<br />

facility in Shirley.<br />

It comes after the city council<br />

removed funding for the centre<br />

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />

was the site of the former community<br />

centre, which was badly<br />

damaged in the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake.<br />

The removal o funding<br />

prompted community board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />

to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />

in the ditch” project.<br />

Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />

is to represen the community,<br />

and by gathering signatures from<br />

residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />

role.<br />

“One of the roles of a community<br />

board is to represent and act<br />

as advocate for the interests of its<br />

community and this is what we<br />

are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />

plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

Cave Rock<br />

Apartments’<br />

expect EQC<br />

sign-off<br />

this week<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />

Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />

on a se tlement agr ement this w ek.<br />

Body corporate chairman Mike<br />

White said the group had gone<br />

into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />

on February 20, and signed off<br />

on a deal with IAG on February<br />

2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />

to the day after the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />

are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />

agr ement.<br />

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />

the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />

problem with them doing that.”<br />

The apartment suffere damage<br />

in the February and June, 20 1,<br />

earthquakes and were demolished in<br />

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />

difference betw en indemnity value,<br />

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />

corporate.<br />

The mediation agr ement<br />

prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />

the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />

involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />

more money than they’d wanted to<br />

earlier.”<br />

had competed in the cha lenge<br />

and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />

how the team performed.<br />

“We produced some top quality<br />

products and came away<br />

with a g od result so we’re very<br />

ha py,” he said.<br />

The preparation for this year’s<br />

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />

intense as the team members<br />

met in Auckland every two<br />

months for lengthy w ekend<br />

practices.<br />

Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />

butcher for 14 years, said the<br />

competition brought back his<br />

pa sion for the job.<br />

“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />

m eting new people, s eing new<br />

ideas, it just brings that flair<br />

back for you,” he said.<br />

Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />

butcher shop of his own someday<br />

but says for now he wi l focus<br />

on ge ting mor experience<br />

and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />

“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />

going back to try and win the<br />

title,” he said.<br />

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />

traders acro s the districts could<br />

be l oming.<br />

However, the public has li tle<br />

interest in having input into the<br />

i sue.<br />

Only eight submi sions were<br />

received for a potential bylaw<br />

aimed at regulating commercial<br />

activities in public places.<br />

The district council wi l be<br />

holding a hearing for the Public<br />

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />

Activities and Events in<br />

Public Places.<br />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

held on Thursday.<br />

The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />

number of mobile traders<br />

are s eking t operate in Selwyn,<br />

especia ly during the summer<br />

months.<br />

In the past year, the district<br />

council has received five inquiries<br />

about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />

on private or public land.<br />

A report said there are two<br />

str et operators in Darfield, a<br />

coff e cart is parked beside the<br />

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za<br />

cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en<br />

horses l oked like during war.<br />

The New Zealand Mounted<br />

Rifles Charitable Trust president<br />

Mark A pleton and member<br />

Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />

horses to the sch ol on Monday,<br />

in a bid to educate pupils on the<br />

sacrifice their ancestors made in<br />

World War 1 and World War 2.<br />

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson<br />

a rived a the sch ol dre sed<br />

in World War 1 uniforms while<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />

to the trust.<br />

The presentation is a prelude<br />

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />

Management Commi t e’s<br />

upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />

As a tribute to those who<br />

served, members of the trust wi l<br />

ride horseback to the service.<br />

Mr A pleton said it was<br />

important children were<br />

educated on what soldiers<br />

wen through during World<br />

War 1 and World War 2.<br />

But he said the presentation<br />

didn’t go into t o much detail<br />

and was more of a “show and<br />

te l” to make them aware of what<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />

Children were shown the type<br />

of kits horses were required to<br />

wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />

has proven himself to be a cut<br />

above his Au sie rivals at an<br />

international competition.<br />

Elite Meats owner Corey<br />

Winder was named in the a l<br />

star team a the World Butchers’<br />

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />

Mr Winder and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />

includes W olston butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />

in the competition.<br />

He said the cha lenge started<br />

as a “transtasman test match”<br />

seven years ago.<br />

The preparation for this<br />

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />

was intense as the team<br />

members met in Auckland<br />

every two months for lengthy<br />

w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />

said coming second against 1<br />

other countries was a “fantastic”<br />

result.<br />

“To get second behind Ireland<br />

was a huge achievement and to<br />

be ahead of Australia is an<br />

even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />

said.<br />

But Mr Winder admires the<br />

Australian team.<br />

“Those guys over there<br />

[Australia] are on top of their<br />

game, they do a g od job,” he<br />

said.<br />

“And it just showcases that<br />

New Zealand has got some<br />

of the best butchers in the<br />

world,” he said.<br />

Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />

since the age of 19.<br />

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-<br />

Ri carton Community Board<br />

has b en given the gr en ligh to<br />

o pose the pla ned qua ry near<br />

Templeton.<br />

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />

board on Thursday it had the okay<br />

from the city council to make a<br />

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />

for a resource consen to create a<br />

qua ry.<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

told Western News the submi sion<br />

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />

plan.<br />

“You can just about guarant e<br />

it . because we [the community<br />

board] don’t believe qua ries<br />

should be so close to residential<br />

areas,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />

the city council would endorse the<br />

board’ submi sion.<br />

“I’d like to think so because the<br />

city council has had their eyes<br />

open as we l ove recent years over<br />

the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said the community<br />

board wi l be “representing and<br />

advocating” for the Templeton<br />

community.<br />
