Woolston village upgrade
plans come under fire
• By Matt Slaughter
BUSINESSES AND a community
board member are concerned after
a proposal to upgrade the Woolston
Village Centre was green-lighted.
The decision was made at a Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community
Board meeting last week and the
project will now be brought to city
council for final sign-off. The project
to transform the centre, which runs
down Ferry Rd, will result in the loss
of 14 on-street car parks.
The original 2016 Woolston Village
Centre upgrade proposal, which
did not go ahead, would have resulted
in the removal of 48 on-street
car parks.
In spite of the new plan reducing
this number, Woolston Pharmacy
owner Simon Payne said business
owners and shoppers will still be
worse off if these parks are lost.
“It is definitely negative for our
customers. It will be negative for the
whole shopping area, really.”
“If you don’t have car parks that
are convenient, then people are
just going to drive on by.” From a
pharmacy’s point of view, we get a
lot of people who are injured, immobile,
or have low mobility due to
long-term health conditions . . . it is
very inconvenient if they can’t park
nearby where they want to go.”

IT’S THAT time of the year again – the
countdown to the City2Surf.
This year’s instalment will be the 45th
time the iconic event has been held.
Thousands upon thousands of
Cantabrians have ran, walked, skateboarded, pushed prams and
hobbled to the line over the decades.
On pages 6 and 7 today, we talk to some of the people who
will take part this year.
The City2Surf is not a race – but many do consider it that, and
that’s fine. Being first across the line is a great incentive.
For others, taking on the City2Surf can be the start or end of
a personal goal from a fitness perspective or just to say I’ve done
it. With two distances, it’s an event for everyone.

Work reflects artist’s life near the sea
• By Matt Slaughter
ARTIST JOSH O’Rourke has
lived in New Brighton all of his
life.
He loves the sea and using 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 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
lives in the area.
He was given the go-ahead
to install his design after being
named as one of the two winners
of the SCAPE Public Art
Trust’s Re:Activate New Brighton
competition last year.
His strong connection to New
Brighton was his inspiration for
entering the competition.
“I’m pretty passionate about
seeing New Brighton do well and
doing things that are good for
the community.
“As a local artist, there are
people in the community who
know who I am, so I kind of felt
a little bit of responsibility to

patterns, has transformed the area south of the pier.

put in an application and have it
considered.”
O’Rourke said completing
the project had been important
for both his growth as an artist
and New Brighton’s growth in
general.
“For me, it represents development
and growth in my practice.
“For the public . . . I hope that
they see that there’s been a bit
of an investment in the area in
public art and beautifying the
space.”
O’Rourke was a surfer and his
experience with topographic
weather maps to find out the size
of waves and direction of wind
inspired the design.
“I’d been toying with the idea
of the patterns of the weather
maps with some studio work and
I thought that it would be perfect
for the site because it’s so impacted
by the weather . . . with surfing,
I’m always looking at those maps
and their impact on what we’re
doing when we go out.”
The project took seven days to
complete, but it was carried out
over three weeks because of bad
weather.
It was fully funded by
SCAPE, with O’Rourke also
receiving prize money for his
winning design.

Car parking,
plants main
concerns
•From page 1
Mr Payne said a petition to keep
the car parks, started by the pharmacy
late last year, received more
than 1000 signatures in one week.
Around Again Cycles workshop
manager Josh Boot said parking in
the area was already difficult and
losing more parks would make
things even harder.
“That’s a pretty substantial loss,
I mean we already struggle for car
parking as it is.”
Woolston Bakery owner Min Che
was also worried about losing business
if the proposal went ahead.
“We don’t want it to happen
. . . because we are going to lose
customers if there are no car parks
on the street.”
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member Brenda
Lowe-Johnson said she has concerns
about the kauri trees which
would be planted.
“Kauris are a North Island tree,
they don’t belong to the South Island
and they don’t grow here very
well. I’m not very happy about that
either because it’s a waste of money.”
The proposal will be presented
to city council on Thursday and a
decision is expected in the next six
weeks as to whether the project will
go ahead.
Noise relief at Common Ground
• By Matt Slaughter
SOUTH NEW Brighton’s
Common Ground has become a
lot less noisy.
Six loud diesel generators were
replaced by a more sustainable
power connection box.
THe box was installed by Orion
and commissioned at a ceremony
last Thursday following concerns
from Common Ground about
the noise and fumes the
generators were creating.
Common Ground coordinator
Jane Harrison said she
wanted the space to be environmentally
and noise-friendly, but
the funds had not been available
to achieve this when it first
opened.
“We always wanted to have
electricity and we didn’t want
diesel-burning generators . . . the
cost was just going to be absolutely
prohibitive.”
Ms Harrison said Burwood
Ward city councillor Glenn Livingstone
had come together with
Orion, Safe Power and Nova
Energy to install the power box
for free.
She said this would now
ensure the surrounding environment
and residents’ ears were
looked after.
“We’ve worked really closely
with our neighbourhood and
with our immediate neighbours
Landlords
Insulate against fines!
By now, landlords, property managers
and most tenants will be aware of the
changes to the Residential Tenancy Act
concerning home insulation, requiring all
rental properties to have adequate ceiling
and under floor insulation installed, where
practicable, by 30 June 2019.
However, many landlords and property
managers may not be aware they could be
liable for a $4,000 fine (per non-compliant
property), payable to the tenants, if their
investment properties do not meet the
standard in time. With an estimated 125,000
rental properties still requiring better
insulation, these owners and property
managers are being urged to take action now
to avoid the impending rush.
Local long-established insulation specialists
EnergySmart are a selected service
provider for the government’s EECA (Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Authority)
insulation programme, and currently offer
both landlords and homeowners great
savings to better insulate their properties.
The company offers free property
assessments with an insulation Compliance
Certificate for the property if the existing
insulation already complies. If insulation
is required, they provide a Compliance
Report and quote to complete the work.
Extended home energy assessments are
also available, covering heat pumps and LED
lights if required.
EnergySmart are one of the largest
manufacturers and installers of insulation
products in New Zealand and supply a
range of home solutions including their
own insulation brands Terra Lana wool and
PolyKing polyester, as well as supplying Pink
Batts fibreglass insulation. All carry a 50
year warranty.
Their installers are fully trained, clean
and tidy, and their work is audited both
internally as well as by the government, so
you are assured of the highest standard of
workmanship.
EnergySmart has easy payment options
including no deposit and 36 months
interest free, meaning you can insulate your
property from only $12 per week. Landlords
can insulate now, take advantage of current
discounts, and beat the rush.
While insulation in rental properties is now
a legal requirement for landlords, they will
also have the satisfaction of knowing their
tenants are living in a warmer healthier, more
energy-efficient home, and consequently
are more likely to stay.
To enquire about a free property
assessment and insulation options,
contact EnergySmart.

Bid to get Barnett Park crossing
• By Louis Day
REDCLIFFS residents
are calling for a pedestrian
crossing near the entrance to
Barnett Park on Main Rd.
The Redcliffs Residents’
Association
has asked the
Linwood-
Central-
Heathcote
Community
Board to
support its
request to city
Darrell
Latham
council for the
crossing.
There is
currently no provision for a
crossing at the entrance of the
park in the Main Rd Master
Plan.
Association secretary Pat
McIntosh said the crossing
would be essential to ensuring
the safety of pedestrians.
“Main Rd will become
significantly busier when the
Evans Pass Rd reopens and will
also be used for the port traffic,
which is not suitable for the
tunnel.”
There is only one other
pedestrian crossing in the area,
which is 240m away from the
entrance of the park.
“Barnett Park is a well-used
local facility with a pre-school,
playground, sports fields,
public toilet, dog walking and
barbecue areas and walking
tracks. Many users are likely
to want to cross the road to
use the facilities.” Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board member Darrell
Latham said he fully
supports the pedestrian
crossing.
“This is an issue that has
been raised previously by
multiple residents and is
certainly an issue of concern.”
Dr Latham said crossing the

fact they are getting older slow

the 6km event in the City2Surf
together.
“I’m going to be 50-years-old
soon, I might as well keep going
while I am still standing and
don’t have many injuries,” said
Mrs Penn. Back in October, the
pair ran in the Pegasus Fun Run
6km event and hope to run the
10km event at the Christchurch
Marathon in June. They are both
driven by the hope that one day
they might have grandchildren,
who they would like to be fit and

get back into running. He enjoys
running around the streets near
where he lives and often goes to
Les Mills gym to stay in shape.
“I like the City2Surf because
it is an easy distance and it’s a
popular run to take part in.”
James Ferguson, 32 – Mr
Ferguson will take on the 14km
event in the City2Surf. It will
be his first time doing the event
and he admits he’s a “first-time
runner,” opting to keep fit
through rugby
and other sport.
The event
will help him
prepare for more
running later in
the year when
he takes on the
James
Ferguson
Buller Gorge
half marathon
and the Saint
Clair Vineyard
half marathon in Blenheim.
He is enjoying his training –
somewhat. “It’s a fair distance
the 14km, but I’ve got to get fit
somehow.”
Before and after work a couple
of times a week, Mr Ferguson
has been challenging himself to
run distances between 10km and
14km. He will accompanied by
a group of friends who will also
run in the event next month.
Pauline De Wit, 66,
Woolston – Mrs De Wit isn’t
keen to slow down anytime
soon. Previously, she has run
the 6km event in the City2Surf
but next month
she decided to
“push the boat
out” and do the
14km run. “I
felt I could have
gone further
so I am keen to
Pauline
De Wit
try the 14km.
I have seen the
wonderful sense
of achievement
gained from an event such as
this and wanted to be part of it .
. . I am getting older and I want
to achieve something like this
before age takes me over.”
Mrs De Wit has been training
with her friend Jill, who she
has done the event with before.
The pair enjoy after-work walks
around the Burwood Wetlands.
“The wetlands take
approximately 40 minutes, plus
walks at the weekend along the
Heathcote River.”

Community action on climate
change can make a difference
Fire rages, homes at risk
LEST WE FORGET: Gareth Wright, great nephew of Lieutenant
Corporal Henry Wright, Annette Sowman, great-niece of Private
Richard Stevens, Harry Marquet and his son Michael Marquet,
who are the nephew and great-nephew of Private Albert
Marquet, stand in front of the memorial gates on Wakefield Ave.
Three commemorative
crosses claimed
• By Louis Day
THE FAMILIES of three Sumner
servicemen who died during
World War 1 have claimed their
commemorative crosses.
RSAs across the country
commemorated Armistice
Day last year by displaying
crosses which commemorated
servicemen who gave their lives
during the conflict.
The Sumner Redcliffs RSA
made a cross for each of the 21
casualties from Sumner and
displayed them at the memorial
gates on Wakefield Ave.
The families of Lieutenant
Corporal Henry Wright, Private
Albert Marquet and Private
Richard Stevens claimed their
crosses.
The families shared their
thoughts and experiences,
swapping tales and showing each
other memorabilia, speculating
that their predecessors may have
met all those years ago.
However, Sumner Redcliffs
RSA president Pat Boland said
there was still work to do.
“Ideally we would like all
21 crosses reunited with their
families.”
The remaining crosses will
continue to be displayed on
Wakefield Ave and may still be
claimed by relatives.

Linwood-

Community
Board
member
and city
councillor
Sara
Templeton
talks about how important
community action is in
fighting climate change
I attended a thought-provoking
meeting in Redcliffs recently
where residents have started
the year talking about climate
change.
While some in the media see
no point in individual action and
call on regulation from above,
these residents have recognised
that individuals acting together
can make a real difference.
Organised by Dave Bryce, we
heard from Dr John Hunt about
the science and Shannon Ball
about measuring our individual
and community actions. The
information was really useful
and the discussions generated
afterwards were positive, with
residents sharing ideas and
knowledge.
Individual action matters for
many reasons – the first of which
is that it makes a difference in our
own lives, gives us hope and motivation
for the future. The next is
that our actions inspire others.
This was a key message at the
meeting – let us inspire change
in each other and make a collective
difference, not just as a
small coastal community, but let
us challenge our neighbouring
communities to do the same.
Then there’s the moral mandate
– how can we ask change of
others if we are not prepared to
do it ourselves?
This works both at a personal
level, a city level and a national
one. How can New Zealand
insist that other countries cut
their emissions when we produce
more per capita than most of
ACTION REQUIRED: The
effects of climate change are
wide-ranging.
them? While we are small, we
know that we can make a difference
in the world when we lead
the way.
If all the small nations in the
world whose emissions are under
one per cent of global emissions
simply threw their hands up and
said ‘we’re too small to make
a difference’ then 24 per cent
of the world’s emissions would
go untouched and continue to
increase.
However, the reality is that
there needs to be large scale
changes to our transport and
agricultural systems, to how we
manage water and our energy
supply – things that individuals
have no direct power to change.
Yet we can make a difference
as our leaders need a mandate to
make this change. Without the
grassroots demanding action our
councils and our Government
struggle to get changes through
against a vocal opposition. It is
here that I believe that individuals
can make the most difference
– by calling for change from
those in power and holding them
to account.
“Never doubt that a small
group of thoughtful committed
citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that
ever has.” – Margaret Mead

Promising Hornets chase NRL dreams
• By Gordon Findlater
THREE PROMISING young
Halswell Hornets have uprooted
to Sydney in pursuit of their
NRL dreams.
Reuben Wilson, David Knight
and Montell Peppard all made
strong impressions during trials
with Wests Tigers
late last year and
will now spend
the year in Sydney
among the club’s
feeder ranks.
Knight, 17, has
been named in
the Tigers Laurie
Daley Cup squad,
while Peppard, 17,
has been named
in the Western
Suburbs Magpies’
SG Ball squad.
Wilson, 18, has
joined the Ryde
Eastwood Hawks
– a feeder club for
the Tigers.
“If we can open the door for
a young boy from Christchurch
or the South Island, it’s a big
plus towards the pathway,” said
former Hornets president Jeff
Whittaker.
Reuben Wilson
“The big plus for these boys
is that they’re now in an NRL
environment.”
Wilson – a fullback and
hooker – earned a number of
appearances for the Hornets’
premier side last season. His
father Walter Wilson is a former
Halswell, Canterbury and New
Zealand agegroup
player,
and has coached
the three boys at
the Hornets. He
has joined his
son in Sydney to
support him on
his journey.
“Reuben
had two trials
with the Tigers
last year. They
said he would
be strongly
considered for
their under-20s
if he was in
Sydney. That was
the catapult for us to make the
move,” said Walter.
Peppard – a back rower – only
started playing league last year
after previously playing rugby
at St Thomas of Canterbury
College.
SPORTS
“Jeff [Whittaker] and I sat
down with him and his parents
and had a good chat about what
opportunity rugby league could
have for him,” said Walter.
“He’s a strong physical player
and has a great attitude.”
Knight, who is a back rower,
was introduced to league as a
12-year-old and has made his
way through the junior ranks at
the Hornets.
Knight and Peppard will
attend secondary school in
Sydney, while Wilson – who
recently finished at Christchurch
Boys’ High School – is doing
landscaping work in the
morning and training with his
club in the evenings.
STARS: David Knight and
Montell Peppard have
relocated to Sydney,
along with Reuben Wilson,
following a successful trial
with Wests Tigers.
Halswell club softballer
takes skills to the max
• By Jacob Page
MAX SARGEANT (left) is
turning the skills he learnt in
his backyard into a promising
softball career.
The 14-year-old Halswell
Softball Club player was part of
the Canterbury under-15 infield
which went undefeated at the
national championships.
He was named in the Rest
of New Zealand tournament
team, and will also trial for the
development Black Sox later in
the summer, which could lead to
a tour of Australia this year.
Max can play any infield
position but prefers second base
or short stop.
“I like how you get a lot of
balls coming your way and
you’re always in the action,” he
said.
Max has been playing softball
since he was five and has
practiced his technique in
the backyard with his dad
Peter.
He has a family pedigree with
his uncle, Michael Sands, being
a former Black Sox player in the
early 2000s.
Max also plays premier
reserves, under-23s and under-
18s for Halswell, meaning he
often has three games a week.
“It’s playing against big people
which has been difficult, but
it’s been a learning year and,
hopefully, I can put those skills
into my 18s game.
“I’d like to make the
Canterbury under-18s and keep
moving up to national squads.”
Max said he would love to
emulate his uncle and become a
second generation Black Sox.
He also wants to play at college
level overseas.
But for now, Max is just
motivated to get better.

KIDSTUFF
Cathedral Grammar Pre-School
located within the heart of the city
Our play based learning
approach supports your child
as they begin their exciting
journey as a lifelong learner.
Play, laughter and learning are essential
ingredients for a successful Pre-School
education. The crucial early years need to
be nurtured, shaped and cherished as your
child takes their first steps in education.
Cathedral Grammar Pre-School proudly
teaches the children of tomorrow, today.
At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your
whole family is welcomed into the wider
embrace of the Grammar community
including whole school fun and functions,
services and support as well as smooth
transition to the Junior School and links to
the Prep School.
In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built
Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers,
your child will discover by curiosity,
investigation and exploration. Our low
child/teacher ratios, ensure your child’s
quality individual and group learning.
Research states that play may be the
single most important things that humans
do. “Our play based learning approach
supports your child as they begin their
exciting journey as a lifelong learner” says
Principal Scott Thelning.
Your child will develop essential
foundations in literacy and numeracy. He
or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised
facilities, subjects and staff including Art,
Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel.
When children feel good about
themselves and their abilities, they are able
to take flight and explore, discover, take
risks and play, laugh and learn effectively
and successfully. “Self-esteem is at the core
of this development process” Thelning
says.
Being an inner city Pre-School gives
you a wonderfully easy opportunity to
engage in your child’s learning if you are
working in the CBD. Every opportunity
is taken to utilise our central city location
to extend our ‘campus’ from the Botanic
Gardens to the Canterbury Museum,
The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o
Waiwhetu to the Christchurch Transitional
Cathedral, from Tūranga (Christchurch
central library) to the emergency services.
Every day is an open day at Cathedral
Grammar Pre-School. Contact the
school office to arrange a personal tour
on 03 365 0385. Email Scott Thelning at
