“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 />

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 />

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 />

• 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 />

“This comes from the maintenance<br />

Barr.<br />
Some areas required more<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 />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
events, all of which can be booked<br />
online at www.cwea.org.nz . Our printed<br />
programme is available from our front<br />

The full programme for Term 4 is on our<br />
website at http://www.risingholme.org.nz<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 />
