PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER Work reflects artist’s life in New Brighton • By Matt Slaughter ARTIST JOSH O’Rourke has lived in New Brighton all of his life. He loves the sea and its untapped potential for creativity. Now, the 30-year-old has left his own indelible mark on a long stretch of wall overlooking the beachside basketball court just south of the New Brighton Pier. Low Pressure High Pressure was finished in December and represents the surf breaks and weather patterns O’Rourke has become so fond of in his many years living in the area. O’Rourke was educated at New Brighton Catholic and Shirley Boys’ High Schools and has family in the area. •Turn to page 7 CITY 2 2SURF Sunday 24 March 2019 city2surf.co.nz with Les Mills Bid to save bus service to retirement village fails • By Matt Slaughter A MAIREHAU retirement village’s 11-month battle with Environment Canterbury to save their bus service has been lost. ECan has “run out of ideas” for a compromise, which would satisfy residents and staff at Diana Isaac Retirement Village after their Orbiter service was cut last month. The PegasusPost reported last month ECan had raised the idea of trialling a service to transport retirement village residents to bus stops and locations they can no longer access. The vehicle would have been run by a trust and volunteers from the village. Village resident Graham Tate had supported the idea but said residents had decided this would have simply been too much work at their stage in life. “An email survey of about 20 per cent of the independent residents within this village made it clear that there is very little support for the proposed ECan Village Vehicle Community Trust model. Personally, I think the Village Community Vehicle Trust concept could well work in a village where residents ages were younger than here.” •Turn to page 7 BLINDS...Cleaned, Repaired & Restored...
