“Easiest to find Denture<br />

Clinic in Christchurch”<br />

Expo to focus on crime<br />

prevention, emergencies<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

OUT-THINKING burglars, what<br />

to do in a tsunami and how to<br />

prepare for another big earthquake<br />

will all be topics of discussion at<br />

a large public meeting in New<br />

Brighton.<br />

The Save Our Suburbs safety<br />

expo will give residents in the east<br />

“the knowledge<br />

they need to protect<br />

themselves<br />

and their neighbours,”<br />

said its<br />

organiser Soozie<br />

Bragg.<br />

The expo will<br />

Soozie Bragg<br />

be held on March<br />

9 from 11am<br />

until 3pm at the old Central New<br />

Brighton School site.<br />

It will bring together emergency<br />

services, Civil Defence, community<br />

watch groups, security companies,<br />

Age Concern, dog trainers, cybersecurity,<br />

insurance and self-defence<br />

experts and concerned residents.<br />

More groups are likely to confirm<br />

their attendance as the day gets<br />

closer.​<br />

Ms Bragg said educating people<br />

on how they could work together<br />

with police to prevent crime in the<br />

eastern suburbs was a major focus<br />

of the event.<br />

ABOUT TIME. That’s the big disaster and<br />

crime prevention expo set down for March 9<br />

(see page 1).<br />

The eastern suburbs have needed<br />

something like this since the aftermath of<br />

the 2011 quake. There was a wake-up call on<br />

November 14, 2016, when the big Kaikoura quake struck and led<br />

to tsunami worries.<br />

<strong>Post</strong> the Kaikoura quake, there has been much debate, but little<br />

action, about an evacuation plan – in other words, getting away<br />

from the coast as quickly as possible.<br />

And with a couple of large fault lines in <strong>Pegasus</strong> Bay, a plan is<br />

fairly critical. So good on Soozie Bragg and Paul Lonsdale for<br />

getting the expo up and running. And it will include some crime<br />

prevention tips too. Be there.<br />

Bus battle almost over for rest home<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

RESIDENTS OF a Mairehau rest<br />

home may have won their battle<br />

with Environment Canterbury<br />

to get an alternative transport<br />

service.<br />

Diana Isaac Retirement Village<br />

resident Graham Tate has met<br />

with ECan representatives to<br />

discuss what<br />

could replace<br />

the bus service<br />

which no<br />

longer stops at<br />

the village on<br />

Philpotts Rd.<br />

The meeting<br />

Graham Tate<br />

comes after a<br />

long fight by<br />

residents to get an alternative<br />

service.<br />

At a meeting on <strong>January</strong><br />

17, ECan raised the idea of<br />

providing a service on a trial<br />

basis to transport retirement<br />

village residents to bus stops and<br />

locations that they can no longer<br />

access.<br />

“We’re very happy to look at<br />

an option that I think could be<br />

better than the bus,” Mr Tate<br />

said.<br />

“The welfare of the elderly is<br />

very much about them getting<br />

out and meeting other people<br />

and seeing other things.”<br />

ECan senior manager of public<br />

transport Stewart Gibbon said<br />

the service would be similar<br />

to what is already offered to<br />

residents in rural areas,<br />

where bus services are not<br />

accessible.<br />

Mr Tate said the details of the<br />

service still need to be worked<br />

out.<br />

“What I think would be ideal<br />

would be to run a regular route<br />

in a 4km radius with stops at<br />

places like the malls and at<br />

bus hubs and at St George’s,<br />

Burwood and Southern Cross<br />

hospitals,” Mr Tate said.<br />

Mr Gibbon said ECan had<br />

not decided how big the vehicle<br />

would need to be, but Mr Tate<br />

said an eight-seater would be<br />

ideal. ECan would run the<br />

alternative service on a trial basis<br />

if the idea is given the green<br />

light.<br />

“Discussions to date are<br />

exploring the idea of a trial<br />

period of up to six months to<br />

validate the feasibility of the idea<br />

in this specific urban context,”<br />

Mr Gibbon said.<br />

If the service continued after<br />

the trial, a trust could be formed<br />

OPTION:<br />

ECan has<br />

raised<br />

the idea<br />

of a trial<br />

service to<br />

transport<br />

retirement<br />

village<br />

residents<br />

now that<br />

the Orbiter<br />

bus no<br />

longer<br />

stops<br />

outside the<br />

village.<br />

between ECan and elected<br />

representatives from the village<br />

to fund it. ECan and the New<br />

Zealand Transport Agency could<br />

provide an annual grant for the<br />

service, but the majority of the<br />

cost would need to be covered by<br />

the trust.<br />

Mr Tate said the drivers<br />

would be a mix of volunteers<br />

from the village and other<br />

community members who<br />

wished to help. ECan will now<br />

discuss the option with Ryman<br />

Healthcare, which owns Diana<br />

Isaac Retirement Village.<br />

MAN ATTACKED BY DOGS<br />

A man was attacked by two dogs<br />

while walking on the corner<br />

of Dudley St and Stapleton St,<br />

Richmond, last Tuesday. Andrea<br />

Tummi said he was bitten in<br />

the back, but the owner of the<br />

dogs ran away after seeing him<br />

bleeding. Police are trying to track<br />

down the owner.<br />

WEED CONCERNS<br />

Residents’ concerns about the<br />

number of overgrown weeds<br />

in Prestons will be discussed at<br />

the next city council meeting by<br />

Burwood Ward city councillor<br />

Glenn Livingstone. Resident Ross<br />

Williamson said he had emailed<br />

city council members about the<br />

weed problem, which had been<br />

getting progressively worse since<br />

he moved to the area in July. Cr<br />

Livingstone had been out to view<br />

it for himself and city council<br />

staff inspected some of the worst<br />

affected areas on Thursday.<br />

“We need to be able to help the<br />

police to keep the crime under<br />

control and accept the fact that<br />

the police want us to report<br />

everything,” Ms Bragg said.<br />

Ms Bragg said she and a number<br />

of others in the east were left<br />

with damaged properties, no running<br />

water and no toilets after the<br />

earthquakes.<br />

She said her limited knowledge<br />

of what she could do to help<br />

herself during this time had highlighted<br />

the importance of providing<br />

this information on the day.<br />

New Brighton Business and<br />

Landowners Association’s Paul<br />

Lonsdale is also helping to<br />

organise the event. He said the<br />

community<br />

had also not<br />

been prepared<br />

for the tsunami<br />

warning after<br />

the Kaikoura<br />

earthquake, just<br />

after midnight<br />

Paul Lonsdale on November<br />

14, 2016.<br />

This made the tsunami preparedness<br />

side of the expo another<br />

key focus, Mr Lonsdale said.<br />

“Both Sumner and New<br />

Brighton got bottlenecked with<br />

people trying to get out late<br />

at night and some people had<br />

nowhere to go.”<br />

“There’s always this threat<br />

hanging over any coastal<br />

community, and understanding<br />

what to do to ensure that you’re<br />

safe if something should ever<br />

happen I think is an important<br />

thing to know.”<br />

Ms Bragg said she had been to<br />

a number of small-scale disaster<br />

preparedness and public safety<br />

community meetings in the past.<br />

At these, she said people had<br />

often voiced safety concerns,<br />

but discussion rarely took place<br />

around strategies to manage<br />

them. She said this had inspired<br />

her to organise the event.<br />

“We’ve got to help people and<br />

the only way we can do that is by<br />

arming them with knowledge,<br />

because knowledge is power.”<br />

Cost of a doctor’s visit hits hard<br />

The axeing of<br />

community services<br />

card discounts at<br />

some medical centres<br />

has become an issue<br />

nationwide. Matt<br />

Slaughter investigates<br />

what the situation is in<br />

the eastern suburbs<br />

NEW BRIGHTON Health Care<br />

is one of four medical centres in<br />

the east which do not provide<br />

community services card<br />

discounts.<br />

Auckland-based White<br />

Cross Healthcare took over the<br />

ownership of New Brighton<br />

Health Care late last year and<br />

decided to stop providing the<br />

discount.<br />

Travis Medical Centre in<br />

North New Brighton, Woodham<br />

Road Medical and Parklands<br />

Medical Centre are the closest<br />

options for residents in these<br />

areas. However, none of them<br />

offer the community services<br />

card discount. QE II Medical<br />

Centre, Linwood Medical<br />

Centre, Eastcare Health and<br />

North Avon Medical Centre all<br />

offer the discounts.<br />

White Cross Healthcare made<br />

the decision to opt out because of<br />

a new Government policy which<br />

took effect on December 1.<br />

The policy means clinics that<br />

had opted into the community<br />

services card discount can<br />

now only charge card-holders<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />

STRUGGLE: Denise George says her bank account and health<br />

are suffering because of the New Brighton Health Care<br />

centre’s decision to no longer provide a community services<br />

card discount. (Below) – New Brighton Health Care.<br />

a maximum of $18.50 for a<br />

doctor’s visit and $12.50 for<br />

children aged between 14 and 17.<br />

The move prompted<br />

Southshore Residents’<br />

Association treasurer Denise<br />

George to voice her concerns<br />

when the group met recently.<br />

Ms George said New Brighton<br />

Health Care’s decision to stop<br />

offering the discount had left her<br />

with no choice but to take the<br />

financial hit when visiting her<br />

doctor.<br />

She said the cost had<br />

sometimes put her off going to<br />

the doctor altogether.<br />

“Because of a health problem, I<br />

have to go every three months, so<br />

when you add my prescriptions<br />

onto it, you’re looking at $80<br />

or $90 every time I go to the<br />

doctor.”<br />

She said she was ill recently,<br />

but instead of visiting the<br />

doctor, she waited until her next<br />

scheduled appointment.<br />

“I thought I can’t afford (it),<br />

so I waited until my doctor’s<br />

appointment and I got told off<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

. . . because I could have made<br />

myself very ill,” she said.<br />

New Brighton Health Care<br />

currently has 3000 patients<br />

enrolled who have community<br />

services cards. The centre is the<br />

only general practitioner in New<br />

Brighton, South New Brighton<br />

and Southshore.<br />

New Brighton Health Care<br />

clinic business manager Sharron<br />

Harris said it recognised the<br />

financial strain the policy is<br />

having on some patients, and<br />

is considering reintroducing<br />

discounts in the future.<br />

Said Mrs Harris: “New<br />

Brighton Health Care has<br />

decided to remain outside of the<br />

Government’s funding scheme<br />

while it makes a more detailed<br />

assessment of the impacts.”<br />

However, Ms George said these<br />

clinics were sometimes too hard<br />

to get to for the sickest and most<br />

elderly patients.<br />

Eastcare Health practice<br />

manager Fiona McDonald said<br />

its decision to continue to offer<br />

the discount to card-holders<br />

was to ensure patients were not<br />

put off by the same costs as Ms<br />

George had been.<br />

Mrs McDonald said the<br />

community services card<br />

discount decreased the cost of<br />

a doctor’s appointment at the<br />

clinic by $30 for both adults and<br />

children.<br />

“It’s a huge help to people,<br />

especially in this community in<br />

Aranui, so there’s nothing that<br />

will prevent them from coming<br />

when they’re sick.”<br />

Mrs Harris said New Brighton<br />

Health Care sympathised with<br />

community services card-holders<br />

and was assessing the impact of<br />

its policy.<br />

“We are considering the<br />

possibility of introducing<br />

discounts for community<br />

services card-holders because<br />

New Brighton Health<br />

Care recognises the extra<br />

affordability challenges faced<br />

by these patients. We are<br />

currently considering if we can<br />

offer discounts for community<br />

services card-holders and how to<br />

fund them.”<br />

Rallying to beautify Richmond<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

RICHMOND IS looking greener<br />

after a working bee was held<br />

to install planter boxes along<br />

Stanmore Rd.<br />

Richmond residents and<br />

businesses came together with<br />

Richmond Community Garden<br />

representatives to take part in<br />

the Richmond village streetscape<br />

project.<br />

Richmond Residents<br />

and Business Association<br />

chairwoman Hayley<br />

Guglielmo said she and about 20<br />

volunteers had got their hands<br />

dirty installing 10 new planter<br />

boxes along the footpath at the<br />

North Avon Rd end of Stanmore<br />

Rd.<br />

Mrs Guglielmo said the<br />

existing plantings on the footpath<br />

also received a tidy-up.<br />

The planter boxes were repurposed<br />

and donated by the<br />

city council, which also provided<br />

some funding for plants.<br />

Mrs Guglielmo said the planter<br />

boxes would add some muchneeded<br />

vibrancy to Stanmore<br />

Rd’s worn footpath.<br />

“They will have a mixture of<br />

bee-loving, colourful hebes and<br />

herbs for restaurants and shops to<br />

use, so it will look lush and green.<br />

It will brighten up our Stanmore<br />

Rd village.”<br />

Mrs Guglielmo said the project<br />

had been part of a drive to clean<br />

up Richmond’s earthquakedamaged<br />

footpaths and provide<br />

something good for its people.<br />

THE OUTCOME of a bid to<br />

scuttle plans for a $1 million<br />

toilet block and changing room at<br />

QE II Park won’t be known until<br />

after a second meeting.<br />

City councillor Glenn<br />

Livingstone says the cost for the<br />

planned 200 sq m building is too<br />

extravagant.<br />

REVITALISED: Richmond residents installed planter boxes along Stanmore Rd to beautify the<br />

street. Left to right: Rachel Thwaites, Ashley Crook and Hayley Guglielmo.<br />

big drive to make Richmond<br />

greener and more edible.” She<br />

said the Richmond Residents<br />

and Business Association was<br />

currently working with the<br />

city council to organise more<br />

plantings for Richmond’s<br />

earthquake-damaged sites.<br />

“There are quite a few sites<br />

“You can build a good<br />

house for $350,000,<br />

which includes the<br />

infrastructure, sewage<br />

and water, so I’m not<br />

sure what they have in<br />

mind for $1 million,” he<br />

said.<br />

The Master Plan went<br />

before a city council<br />

hearings panel last week<br />

around Richmond that have been<br />

left to rack and ruin just simply<br />

because of post-earthquake<br />

issues.”<br />

Ruedi’s Cafe owner Irene<br />

Liu said the planter boxes<br />

were directly outside of her<br />

store and had made a noticeable<br />

difference. “After the earthquake,<br />

and it will meet again on<br />

Monday. “But even then,<br />

we might not come to a<br />

recommendation on that<br />

day. It’s a big decision,<br />

so we’ve got to get it<br />

right.”<br />

It will then make a<br />

recommendation about<br />

the plan to the full city<br />

council.<br />

the street was damaged badly.”<br />

She said the new planter boxes<br />

could attract new business and<br />

it was great to see residents and<br />

the city council team-up to do<br />

something about it.<br />

The planter boxes made it feel<br />

like Stanmore Rd now had “more<br />

direction,” Ms Liu said.<br />

The $12 million in the<br />

Master Plan will go towards<br />

the construction and repair of<br />

sporting facilities that were<br />

lost and damaged in the<br />

earthquakes, a new playground<br />

and a community centre<br />

upgrade.<br />

Cr Livingstone said the<br />

hearings panel went for a site visit<br />

to QE II last week.<br />

“We’re especially pleased we<br />

were able to find such a great<br />

partner to work with that’s in<br />

the same mall.”<br />

Mr Yagmich said partnering<br />

with Paper Plus would mean the<br />

store would be open for longer<br />

on Saturdays and also remain<br />

open on Sundays.<br />

However, concerns still<br />

remain over Kiwibank’s<br />

planned closure after the split.<br />

Port Hills MP Ruth<br />

Dyson said it was crucial<br />

Kiwibank’s services remained<br />

open in the east.<br />

Ms Dyson said she would<br />

be presenting a petition with<br />

more than 2600 signatures to<br />

keep Kiwibank’s services in<br />

the Eastgate Shopping Centre<br />

to Kiwibank representatives in<br />

Wellington today.<br />

“A lot of people in the<br />

Woolston and Linwood area<br />

have already seen the cutback<br />

of their bus service. In this<br />

area, we contribute the same<br />

as people in other areas, why<br />

don’t we have the same level of<br />

service?”<br />

News<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

IN 1993, Mark Ashby had<br />

to relearn how to walk and<br />

talk after a car accident left<br />

him with a serious brain<br />

injury.<br />

He achieved this, and<br />

now 26 years later, the<br />

44-year-old from Woolston<br />

is using art as the next step<br />

towards recovery.<br />

Ashby’s work is on<br />

display at the New Brighton<br />

Library until the end of the<br />

week.<br />

Art is just one of the<br />

activities he has taken up to<br />

aid his recovery.<br />

Ashby is also a keen<br />

bodybuilder who has<br />

competed overseas.<br />

He said his art reflects his<br />

unique view of the world<br />

after his injury.<br />

Ashby said his artworks<br />

have been part of his<br />

journey towards recovery<br />

and he hopes they will help<br />

others going through the<br />

same challenges.<br />

The exhibition is<br />

about “getting over the<br />

stigma of having had the<br />

accident and then being<br />

able to express myself,” said<br />

Ashby.<br />

For others in similar<br />

positions, he said “it will<br />

give them hope.”<br />

He also said keeping<br />

moving was crucial to<br />

his recovery. The mental<br />

fitness he has gained<br />

from painting was just as<br />

important as the physical<br />

fitness he has developed<br />

through a passion for<br />

bodybuilding, he said.<br />

“Getting everything<br />

moving is a wondrous<br />

achievement and that<br />

should be recognised.”<br />

Ashby said painting also<br />

Paintings give insight<br />

into artist’s recovery<br />

from brain injury<br />

helped him overcome some<br />

of the struggles that came<br />

with his injury and it could<br />

do the same for others in<br />

his situation.<br />

“In the dark times,<br />

when you are isolated, you<br />

feel comfortable in being<br />

yourself.”<br />

New Brighton Library<br />

display wall co-ordinator<br />

Daniel Ready said Ashby’s<br />

work is abstract, but it<br />

captures his world view<br />

perfectly.<br />

“The value that he<br />

shows in his display is the<br />

distorted view that he gives<br />

everyone to look into his<br />

mind.”<br />

Mr Ready said seeing<br />

the world through the<br />

eyes of someone who has<br />

experienced challenges<br />

which have left him with<br />

such a unique outlook on<br />

life is special.<br />

Sustainability key<br />

to organic farming<br />

There’s something for<br />

everyone in the realm of<br />

organic farming but as far<br />

as Bill Martin is concerned,<br />

it’s all about sustainability.<br />

The Training College<br />

Manager at Lincoln<br />

University’s Biological<br />

Husbandry Unit Organics<br />

Trust (BHU) is happy to see<br />

a surge in enthusiasm for<br />

organic food production<br />

as younger generations<br />

become more aware of<br />

environmental concerns.<br />

He says the growing<br />

popularity of organic<br />

production in recent years<br />

means that graduates are<br />

now taking what they have<br />

learned into a broader<br />

range of sectors.<br />

“It’s not just about<br />

growing, wholesaling<br />

and retailing food anymore. They’re<br />

going into schools and teaching primary<br />

and secondary schoolers about the<br />

importance of sustainable farming and<br />

gardening and really starting to embed the<br />

philosophy into the education system.”<br />

As far as conventional agricultural<br />

practices are concerned, he says farmers<br />

should be encouraged to optimise their<br />

production, rather than maximise it at the<br />

expense of the environment.<br />

“We need to change our agricultural<br />

paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.”<br />

Mr Martin says those interested in a<br />

career in organics should enrol in the<br />

one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production<br />

course, which is open to students either<br />

with or without university entrance.<br />

Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga<br />

and Mahinga Kai components and can<br />

lead to employment in organic primary<br />

production or other sectors related<br />

to organics, especially education and<br />

hospitality.<br />

“The course offers a good grounding<br />

in the principles of organic agriculture,<br />

teaching the philosophies and histories<br />

of organics and providing practical<br />

knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr<br />

Martin says.<br />

Apply now for the Diploma in Organic<br />

Agri-Food Production and begin studying<br />

in February <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

Grow a career<br />

in organics<br />

Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare<br />

you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s<br />

a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind<br />

contemporary organic agri-food production.<br />

Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural<br />

scale really means.<br />

SBHS<br />

at capacity<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School has<br />

announced it is now at capacity<br />

for all year levels and will only be<br />

accepting in-zone applicants for<br />

<strong>2019</strong>.<br />

It comes after debate within the<br />

community following a new enrolment<br />

zone for the school’s shared<br />

site on QE II Park, which it will<br />

share with Avonside Girls’ High<br />

School. It plans to move to the site<br />

later this year.<br />

In a post on its Facebook page<br />

on Thursday night, the school said<br />

it will only be accepting enrolments<br />

from in-zone applicants.<br />

“Priority” students will now go<br />

on waiting lists.<br />

First priority on the waiting list<br />

will go to siblings of current students,<br />

then siblings of former students, sons<br />

of former students, sons of board<br />

members or board employees and<br />

then out-of-zone applicants.<br />

It comes after debate between<br />

the schools, the Ministry of<br />

Education and east Christchurch<br />

communities following announcements<br />

last year that the suburbs<br />

of Shirley, Avonside, Dallington,<br />

Richmond, Edgeware and parts of<br />

Linwood may not be included for<br />

the enrolment zone at the new site.<br />

The school’s zones will be reviewed<br />

again in May.<br />

POLICE SAY they are unable<br />

to prosecute a motorist who has<br />

allegedly caused damage in the<br />

red zone because there is not<br />

enough evidence.<br />

Avonside resident Patrick<br />

Boland went to police in October<br />

with photographs and video he<br />

took of a man he has dubbed the<br />

‘red zone ram raider.’<br />

Mr Boland gave police the vehicle’s<br />

registration number and<br />

said he had witnessed him driving<br />

erratically in his sport utility<br />

vehicle and damaging gates and<br />

barriers.<br />

A police spokeswoman said<br />

the man has been issued with<br />

infringement notices, including<br />

driving without a licence and a<br />

warrant of fitness.<br />

There was not enough evidence<br />

to support the claim he<br />

had been smashing barriers.<br />

Said Mr Boland: “The method<br />

he uses is just driving straight<br />

through like Rambo. I would<br />

say that’s happened at least three<br />

times. At the moment he seems<br />

to be acting with impunity.<br />

“As a community, all we are<br />

trying to do is keep ourselves<br />

safe,” he said.<br />

Mr Boland’s video footage<br />

shows the man acting<br />

aggressively towards him,<br />

driving erratically and on the<br />

wrong side of the road, but he<br />

has been unable to film him in<br />

the act of driving through the<br />

barriers.<br />

Currently, security within the<br />

red zone area is managed by<br />

Land Information New Zealand.<br />

LINZ group manager land<br />

and property Jeremy Barr said it<br />

has discussed the damage with<br />

police, who patrol the wider red<br />

zone area.<br />

“No action plans have been<br />

developed with the police because<br />

we have not been able to<br />

identify any vehicles causing the<br />

damage.”<br />

“LINZ’s security guards are<br />

very aware of the vandalism, and<br />

patrol the problem areas to try<br />

to stop damage being done. They<br />

have not yet been able to identify<br />

any vehicles causing damage,”<br />

he said.<br />

Last year, there were 25 occasions<br />

where LINZ carried out<br />

repairs to barriers, which cost<br />

Board member launching<br />

business with global goal<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

A JEWELLERY business set up<br />

by a community board member<br />

to tackle global issues is finally<br />

set to launch.<br />

Bead and Proceed, which<br />

aims to spark up conversations<br />

about the United Nations’ 17<br />

sustainability goals, is set to<br />

launch on February 24.<br />

Its chief executive Bridget<br />

Williams – who is also a<br />

Community Board member –<br />

plans to host a launch party with<br />

business partners, Luke Gillespie<br />

and Anita Chang, at Avebury<br />

day of the launch.<br />

New Zealand agreed to adopt<br />

the sustainability goals in 2015.<br />

They aim to end poverty, protect<br />

the environment and minimise<br />

inequality, among other<br />

aspirations, by 2030.<br />

“These goals are for everyone,<br />

no one can be left behind,” said<br />

Miss Williams.<br />

The jewellery kits aim to get<br />

people together to create their<br />

own necklaces, with five beads<br />

TUG LYTTELTON’S first<br />

passenger cruise in three years<br />

has been delayed again.<br />

The cruise was originally<br />

scheduled to take place in<br />

December but was pushed back<br />

to this month. It has now been<br />

delayed again until next month.<br />

Tug Lyttelton Preservation<br />

Society head stoker Mike Bruce<br />

said there is still paperwork to<br />

complete before any passenger<br />

cruises on the restored tug can<br />

take place.<br />

“The boat is fine, everything<br />

is absolutely tickety-boo there.<br />

We are just waiting on the final<br />

sign-off from the maritime safety<br />

authority.”<br />

Mr Bruce said once the<br />

paperwork has been completed,<br />

it could take up to three weeks<br />

to prepare the boat for passenger<br />

cruises.<br />

“If we get the sign-off at the<br />

end of this week, we will have to<br />

reheat the boiler. That’s going to<br />

take five to six days to do, then it<br />

is going to take a few days to get<br />

a roster together. After that it’s<br />

going to be a good two to three<br />

weeks before we get steam up.”<br />

Lyttelton Community<br />

Association chairman Ken<br />

Maynard said he was becoming<br />

concerned the tug boat might not<br />

return at all.<br />

Cruise on hold<br />

“It would be a massive loss if<br />

it was lost forever. It’s one piece<br />

of the puzzle in Lyttelton, if it<br />

goes it could have an impact on<br />

tourism and local businesses in<br />

the area.”<br />

One Lyttelton cafe owner, who<br />

did not want to be named, said<br />

the tug brought a lot of business<br />

to the area.<br />

However, Lyttelton Coffee<br />

Company owner Stephen Mateer<br />

said it did not boost his business.<br />

“My customers tend to be the<br />

more environmentally-friendly<br />

type. The tug has quite a specific<br />

clientele and I don’t notice a<br />

difference in my business when it<br />

is running.”<br />

Mr Mateer, a self-confessed<br />

“greenie”, did not appreciate the<br />

tug’s impact on the environment.<br />

“The tug boat burns coal<br />

and lets out a large amount<br />

of black smoke. If it could be<br />

re-powered with more of an<br />

environmentally-friendly design,<br />

that would be great.”<br />

First national tennis title<br />

for Cashmere youngster<br />

DETERMINED: Hollie Tribble riding at the Oceania BMX<br />

Continental Championships.<br />

Hollie pedals to third at<br />

Oceania BMX champs<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

NORTH Avon Christchurch<br />

BMX Club rider Hollie Tribble<br />

has made her mark at an<br />

international level.<br />

Hollie, 8, finished third<br />

at the Oceania Continental<br />

Championships last Saturday<br />

in Te Awamutu, where she<br />

competed against riders a year<br />

older than her.<br />

The event for nine-year-olds<br />

was won by Cambridge rider<br />

Beth Walker. More than 500<br />

riders competed at the champs<br />

– eight of them from the North<br />

Avon Christchurch club.<br />

Hollie qualified after finishing<br />

eighth at the national competiton<br />

in New Plymouth last year, in<br />

spite of suffering a big crash<br />

during the race.<br />

Earlier this month, Hollie<br />

competed at the South Island<br />

BMX Titles in Dunedin, ​where<br />

she won all of her seven races<br />

and the overall event for girls<br />

aged seven to nine, defending her<br />

2018 title as the top South Island<br />

rider in her category. Hollie<br />

started riding at age four after her<br />

mother Hayley Groves took her<br />

to watch a national competition<br />

in Hornby.<br />

“She decided then that she<br />

CHUFFED: Hollie Tribble<br />

finishing third in the ‘girls aged<br />

nine’ section. PHOTO: HAYLEY<br />

GROVES<br />

wanted to be a BMX rider, so<br />

she tested us until she could get<br />

a BMX bike and go to training,”<br />

said Ms Groves.<br />

Hollie said her favourite part<br />

about riding is “travelling around<br />

New Zealand” with friends from<br />

her club. She will soon have to<br />

balance three to four days of<br />

training a week.<br />

“Training is after school so<br />

sometimes homework can be<br />

a challenge, but Hollie tries to<br />

complete her homework before<br />

school each day by getting up<br />

early,” said Ms Groves.<br />

RUBY YOUNG teamed up with<br />

Auckland’s Sasha Situe to win<br />

the girls doubles title at the 12<br />

and under New Zealand junior<br />

championships at Wilding Park<br />

last week.<br />

The 12-year-old Cashmere<br />

player and Sasha were more<br />

than worthy of their No 1<br />

seeding, dropping just three<br />

games in their opening two<br />

matches. In the semi-final they<br />

defeated the all-Christchurch<br />

pairing of Emma Mason and<br />

Tatum Falck 6-2,6-3.<br />

In the final they met No 3<br />

seeds and the all Auckland<br />

pairing of Aisha Das and Renee<br />

Zhang. Ruby and Sasha had a<br />

crucial late break to win the<br />

opening set 7-5. The second set<br />

was an even tighter affair going<br />

to a tiebreaker, which they won<br />

8-6 to win 7-5, 7-6(6).<br />

“It was really exciting and<br />

nerve-racking, but my partner<br />

[Sasha] was really supportive,”<br />

said Ruby.<br />

In singles Ruby defeated<br />

fellow Cashmere player Lucia<br />

Gale 6-4, 6-1 in the first<br />

round. She then accounted for<br />

Ruth Baantarawa from New<br />

Caledonia 6-1, 6-2 before falling<br />

to No 4 seed Maria Galatescu<br />

5-7, 4-6 in a tight quarter-final.<br />

THE CASHMERE Tennis<br />

Club will host one of Tennis<br />

New Zealand’s new money<br />

tournaments being launched<br />

to boost the number of<br />

competitive tournaments on the<br />

national calendar.<br />

Kiwi Money Tournaments<br />

will launch next month with six<br />

pilot events.<br />

The new tournaments will<br />

offer $2000 in prize money per<br />

event.<br />

The men’s draw will have<br />

up to a 32-strong qualifying<br />

field starting on Fridays and a<br />

24-strong main draw starting<br />

Saturday. The women’s draw<br />

will start with a 24-strong main<br />

draw field.<br />

“Every successful tennis<br />

nation has a highly competitive<br />

tournament pathway. New<br />

Zealand was missing an all-year<br />

tournaments circuit where<br />

junior, casual and pro players<br />

could compete against each<br />

other. These tournaments<br />

are the perfect step towards a<br />

complete tournament calendar<br />

SPORTS<br />

COMPETITIVE: Ruby Young (far left) and Sasha Situe (centre<br />

left) won the national 12 and under girls doubles title by<br />

defeating Aisha Das (centre right) and Renee Zhang.<br />

It was the second close<br />

encounter Ruby had had with<br />

Ruth during the week. The two<br />

met at the teams tournament<br />

played before the 12 and<br />

under New Zealand junior<br />

championships which resulted<br />

in ruby losing 6-1, 2-6, 7-10 in a<br />

third set super-tiebreaker.<br />

Ruby – who plays in<br />

Cashmere’s premier women’s<br />

interclub team – began playing<br />

at the age of seven and is<br />

coached by her father Greg<br />

Young who is a former premier<br />

interclub player.<br />

She will begin her first<br />

year at St Margaret’s College<br />

shortly on a sports scholarship.<br />

Ruby is also a rep level football<br />

and plays for Cashmere<br />

Technical.<br />

Bid to boost number<br />

of national tournaments<br />

in New Zealand,” said Tennis<br />

New Zealand performance<br />

coach Christopher Lambert.<br />

Cashmere will host the last<br />

of the six tournaments from<br />

March <strong>29</strong>-31. The other venues<br />

holding tournaments from<br />

late February are North Shore,<br />

Auckland, Hamilton, Blenheim<br />

and Timaru.<br />

The winners of the<br />

tournaments will receive $600<br />

in prize money, with defeated<br />

finalists receiving $300. Semifinalists<br />

will receive $50.

House of Cards is a day-time bridge club<br />

situated in Merivale. Our philosophy is to<br />

provide a friendly, family-type environment<br />

for bridge players.<br />

Bridge is not only a wonderful, stimulating<br />

game, it is also splendidly social. We have<br />

had much pleasure in seeing many new<br />

friendships flourish over the years.<br />

House of Cards is especially renowned<br />

for its teaching and we have taught literally<br />

thousands of beginners as well as improvers,<br />

in Christchurch and around New Zealand.<br />

We have run several national teachers’<br />

conferences and have been instrumental<br />

in creating a national standard for bridge<br />

teachers.<br />

We have also written a whole series of<br />

bridge books for new and improving players<br />

which are widely used in New Zealand,<br />

Australia and the United Kingdom.<br />

We are a friendly, enthusiastic team<br />

who welcome new players. We have four<br />

sessions dedicated especially for the novice<br />

player, so you needn’t feel nervous!<br />

We will also introduce you to<br />

SkyBridgeClub. This is an online club<br />

catering for the improving player, where<br />

you can practice online during your course.<br />

It’s a great way to learn.<br />

Come in and see us. We’d love to meet you.<br />

learn to Line Dance<br />

The dance floor – a place where bills<br />

and responsibility don’t exist, where<br />

stress is gone and nothing matters but the<br />

music. The dance floor is freedom, say the<br />

Cathedral City Line Dancers.<br />

A recent German study tested people<br />

who tried different forms of exercise and<br />

then measured their hippocampuses<br />

(the memory centre of their brains) and<br />

those who did Line Dancing were better<br />

protected from dementia and memory loss.<br />

So, if you like to dance, want a social life<br />

with a friendly bunch of people and a lot<br />

of laughs while exercising your brain, then<br />

Line Dancing could be just what you are<br />

looking for. They even cater for people with<br />

two left feet.<br />

You can have all this, plus meet new<br />

friends by joining Cathedral City Line<br />

Dancers and learning to dance with Mary.<br />

continuing education<br />

Join a night class at<br />

Papanui High School<br />

It is time to make those New Year<br />

resolutions so why not begin <strong>2019</strong> by<br />

taking some time for yourself and joining<br />

one of the wide range of nightclasses that<br />

are on offer at Papanui High School.<br />

The start of a new year is the ideal<br />

opportunity to get inspired to get out and<br />

learn something new and meet some new<br />

people? Classes for Term 1 begin from<br />

Monday 11 February and the options are<br />

extensive from Art to Yoga and everything<br />

in between we are sure regardless of your<br />

age or interest you will find something<br />

to tempt you. Classes at Papanui High<br />

School are held in a warm, friendly relaxed<br />

environment and our tutors are supportive<br />

and well qualified in their chosen fields.<br />

One of our new courses on offer is<br />

Cake Design, taught by Paula Profitt from<br />

Sweet Revenge Bakery. Paula is a very<br />

experienced Cake Designer and she will<br />

teach students how to layer and fill and ice<br />

a cake to a smooth finish, piping techniques<br />

and the art of a good drizzle along with<br />

mirror glazes and chocolate decorations.<br />

You will also learn how to make fondant<br />

cake toppers in various styles.<br />

For further information and enrolment<br />

in any of our courses please visit our<br />

website www.papanui.school.nz go to the<br />

Adult Education tab at the top right of the<br />

screen and then browse courses, or email<br />

or telephone our office on 3520701.<br />

New experiences at WEA<br />

It is almost time for the new term to<br />

start here at the Canterbury Workers<br />

Educational Association (WEA). Just as the<br />

new year brings a chance for us all to reflect<br />

and set goals for positive change in the year<br />

ahead, so to does the new school year for<br />

us at the WEA, as we plan and schedule<br />

courses, talks and learning opportunities<br />

across the coming months. Positive change<br />

(whether for personal or planetary gain)<br />

is what the WEA is all about and we are<br />

excited to offer plenty to support positive<br />

change in the Term 1 programme (which<br />

runs February 11th to April 7th).<br />

With new courses in printmaking and<br />

creative writing, and workshops ranging<br />

from crafting feminism to renaissance<br />

dance there is plenty to help you get creative<br />

this summer.<br />

We also have talks coming up from and<br />

about some truly inspiring people and<br />

organisations. We will be joined by Mojo<br />

Mathers on 20th February (New Zealand’s<br />

first deaf Member of Parliament) for a<br />

look at why disability representation in<br />

politics matters for all of us. Then during<br />

Seaweek (6th March) we will hear from the<br />

volunteers at Sea Shepherd on the threats<br />

to our underwater ecosystems and the<br />

work they are doing to protect them. There<br />

are also talks about Marie Curie, Ernest<br />

Shackleton and William Morris to mention<br />

but a few.<br />

For those wanting to take action in their<br />

own lives to make a difference, a course in<br />

taking sustainability to the next level will<br />

be on Wednesday evenings (it even has<br />

dinner included) followed by one on how<br />

to live well with less (Living Tiny(er)) on<br />

Thursday evenings.<br />

All in all there are more than 40 listed<br />

The full programme for Term 4 is on our<br />

FREE Arts & Design<br />

course, with NCEA built in<br />

For those looking for a role that<br />

combines artistic and digital talents, then<br />

this outstanding, FREE, entry level course<br />

delivered by local Training Provider<br />

Trainme, is perfect for those wishing to<br />

pursue, graphic design, photography or<br />

digital media as a career.<br />

The course covers the introduction to<br />

media techniques such as drawing and<br />

photography. Students will learn to use<br />

design software and create their own design<br />

concepts while collaborating with other<br />

students on creative projects.<br />

This course is FREE to students aged 16<br />

to 19 and they only have to have NCEA 1<br />

to join. Students without NCEA 1 can be<br />

admitted, if they show artistic or digital<br />

aptitude.<br />

“Many feel that school is not working for<br />

them or they left without qualifications,”<br />

says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary<br />

educator Trainme. “While not necessarily<br />

academically minded, they do<br />

have artistic talents and are very<br />

much into digital technology.”<br />

“This FREE six-month<br />

Trainme course, combines<br />

these in a very hands-on,<br />

practical way, giving them an<br />

intro into various digital media.<br />

This way, they can decide which<br />

direction to pursue as their<br />

career focus.”<br />

“As an NZQA approved<br />

programme, NCEA credits<br />

are built in, so if they apply<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

themselves, they can graduate with a New<br />

Zealand Certificate in Arts and Design<br />

Level 2, as well as gaining credits towards<br />

NCEA level 1 or 2.” Says Pollard.<br />

“NCEA results will depend on how many<br />

credits they bring to the course to start<br />

with, but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel<br />

like school at all.”<br />

Successful Graduates from this<br />

programme could pathway into higher<br />

study in media arts, which could include<br />

graphic design, video production,<br />

photography or one of the many emerging<br />

digital-based careers. Places are limited, so<br />

students are encouraged to apply as soon as<br />

they can.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

Luxury waterfront residence - one of NZ’s finest homes<br />

145 Main Road, Redcliffs<br />

Price: $3,795,000<br />

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 3 living rooms | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 3 car-garage | Listing Number: PI54988<br />

Rarely are we favoured with the<br />

opportunity to bring to the market a home<br />

of this quality and size within a prestigious<br />

neighbourhood, where luxury residences<br />

are few and far between. With all the<br />

earthquake repairs thoroughly completed<br />

the house is now insured with NZI ready<br />

for the next owners to enjoy its splendour.<br />

Epitomizing a cutting edge design,<br />

this striking home is a commitment to<br />

contemporary architectural language and<br />

unparalleled luxury. Designed by Stufkens<br />

+ Chambers Architects the home has<br />

perfectly encapsulated an ambience of<br />

timeless elegance, while forsaking nothing<br />

in practicality and functionality.<br />

With a rich floor area of 501sqm, the<br />

home built in 2010 is notable for the way<br />

in which it explores the three separate<br />

buildings joined by transparent links<br />

wrapped around an open courtyard<br />

to create a timeless, modern building,<br />

appropriate to its urban location.<br />

With precise planning and detailing it<br />

incorporates four bedrooms, several living<br />

areas, soundproof media room, mezzanine,<br />

study, gym, pool/spa, and an air conditioned<br />

wine cellar as well as triple car garaging.<br />

All with water views and effortless indooroutdoor<br />

flow, lighting and well thought out<br />

landscaping, it is the perfect result.<br />

The natural palette of materials and<br />

colours used throughout the home delivers<br />

on a promise of calm and clarity with oak<br />

timber veneer, timber flooring, exposed<br />

aggregate concrete walls, frosted glass<br />

and simple white interior. Inspections<br />

will reveal the full extent of the luxurious<br />

detailing. Automated roller blinds, localized<br />

air-conditioning, double-glazing, extensive<br />

underfloor heating, smart security and<br />

home automation system start a very long<br />

list of quality specifications.<br />

Located just a few minutes to either the<br />

city or the beach, with local amenities<br />

meaning you will never need to leave this<br />

pinnacle position<br />

The extravagance of this home requires<br />

new occupants and prudent purchasers<br />

will recognise that this is indeed a rare<br />

opportunity for a life that excites the senses.<br />

Adequate superlatives elude us, so we must<br />

make do with just two words - SEE IT!<br />
