He has been mowing lawns,
selling raffles and doing other
odd jobs to help find $4500 to
pay for his share of the trip.
But mowing lawns and doing
other jobs may soon take a back
seat for David. A professional
rugby career and the big money
that goes with it is David’s goal
and he may soon take his first
steps towards that.
David received a call from
CBHS rugby master Mike
Drury last week about “an agent
who wanted to have a talk about
playing rugby in Japan after
high school.”

Concern
over
cycleway
plans
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
BUSINESSES AND residents
could be hit hard by a major
realignment of a street in
Riccarton to make way for a
cycleway.
The removal of on-street carparking,
cul-de-sacs, intersection
changes and the shifting of bus
stops could be on the cards for
Elizabeth St as part of a $39 million
cycleway.
The changes are part of the city
council’s proposed South Express
Major Cycle Route, which will
run from Templeton through to
the central city.
The route will travel through
Hornby, Hei Hei, Sockburn, Upper
Riccarton and Riccarton.
The potential changes have
sparked concerns for those in the
area.
The city council is calling for
public feedback on the proposal,
which is the next stage in the
$252 million major cycleway
programme.
Tony Pearson, owner of
Hamilton Motors, which is
located on Elizabeth St near
Matipo St, said the proposed loss
of car parks is going to affect his
business.

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 page 8 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.

Fire concern heightened
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A SERIES of vegetation
fires beside railway lines
in Templeton last week has
heightened the need to clean
up overgrown grass beside the
tracks in Hornby.
Greater Hornby Residents’
Association member Mark
Peters said
the fires in
Templeton
last week
were “really
horrendous”
to see.
He had
previously
Mark Peters
warned
weeds next to
the tracks adjacent to Carmen
Rd could be a potential fire risk
due to trains.
Last week a southbound train
was under investigation after the
Templeton fires.
The Dunedin-bound train was
stopped north of Rolleston after
the fires broke out beside State
Highway 1.
“Hopefully it focuses the
importance of getting this
hazard in the heart of Hornby
rectified sooner rather than
later so we don’t have a similar
episode,” Mr Peters said.
DANGER: A fire beside railway tracks in Templeton last week
has heightened concern about this vegetation between
Carmen Rd and the railway in Hornby.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
But KiwiRail South Island
operations general manager
Jeanine Benson said it is still
investigating the cause of the
fires alongside the train tracks.
The city council agreed to tidy
up the Hornby weeds in a bid
to reduce any potential fire risk
after the issue was raised by city
councillor Jimmy Chen.
The work was scheduled to
start on Saturday. Mr Peters
said it was great to see Cr Chen
taking the initiative but it would
have been “ideal” for KiwiRail
to come to the party straight
away and not “muck around.”
KiwiRail land use strategy
general manager Stephanie
Campbell said it advised the
leaseholder of the issue in
November and is working with
them to get it sorted as soon as
possible.
It would not reveal who the
leaseholder of the land was.
Templeton Residents’
Association chairman Garry
Kilday said the maintenance of
the area where the fires started
could have been better.
“We were just lucky they got it
on time and we didn’t have any
more danger than we had,” he
said.
Mr Peters said hopefully the
fact the train tracks in Hornby
are used less frequently will
mean there is less risk.
“But still it only takes one
train to go through there
and a couple of sparks and
suddenly she is all go . . .
there will be a lot of nervous
residents I’d imagine,” Mr
Peters said.
It was reported the fires in
Templeton could have been
caused by issues with the train
including the wagon brakes
being jammed on or hot exhaust
fumes.

Ice skaters
raise $10k for
Cure Kids
HUNDREDS OF ice skaters have
helped raise more than $10,000
for Cure Kids.
The Alpine Ice Sports Centre
donated an entire day’s takings
and donations from customers to
the child health research charity.
The money will go towards
medical research to help improve,
extend and save the lives of Kiwi
kids living with serious illnesses
and conditions.
Alpine Ice manager Finn
O’Leary said the team was
thrilled to raise so much for Cure
Kids research and felt the day had
been an amazing team-building
exercise for staff.
The event saw a record number
of customers visit the ice rink
– the highest in one day since it
first opened 33 years ago.
Cure Kids chief executive
Frances Benge said the generosity
of the Alpine Ice team was
overwhelming.
“To think Alpine Ice donated
their entire day’s takings to Cure
Kids . . . is just so heart-warming.
The money they raised will help
make a difference to the child
health research we are supporting
to find preventative strategies,
treatments and, one day, cures
our children need, “ he said.
Kids happy with giant kakapo
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A VISUAL arts teacher known
for creating giant puppets
in the United Kingdom has
made a visit to a pre-school in
Aidanfield.
Steve Elliott, of Hull, travelled
to Kindercare Aidanfield last
week to teach pupils the art of
making masks.
Children created masks to the
theme of the children’s book
The Owl and the Pussycat before
dressing up for a parade at the
pre-school.
But it was not the only exciting
event of the day for the children.
The class of 27 children aged
between three and five were presented
with a 1m x 1m kakapo
puppet.
The puppet known as Mr
Kakapo was built as part of a
workshop ran by Mr Elliott at
the Exchange Christchurch –
XCHC recently.
Kindercare Aidanfield centre
manager Melissa Lewis said the
giant kakapo looks amazing and
the children were excited to have
Mr Elliott visit.
“We are very lucky to have
it and I know we are going
to cherish it and make it our
mascot moving forward,” she
said.

The school presented Mr
Elliott with pounamu and
flowers made out of flax.
Mr Elliott is known in the
United Kingdom for his giant
puppets he creates called Iota
Little Giants.
In 2001 he began offering
visual arts workshops to all ages
and ability groups.
Mr Elliott will often recycle
natural and biodegradable
materials including willow,
cardboard paper.
He also creates large
sculptured figures and
masks to be worn in carnival
parades.

Noise limits not breached at burnout event
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
AN INVESTIGATION has
found the noise limits during
a burnout event at Ruapuna
Speedway were not breached.
The city council has found
the noise from the Southern
SmokeFest event, organised
by New Zealand Burnout
Championship on January 19,
was within the regulated
limits.
Two noise complaints were
made when Ruapuna Speedway
contracted its burnout pad to the
organisation for the event.
City council head of regulatory
compliance Tracey Weston
said it was determined the
event did not breach the noise
levels.
The noise levels that apply for
the speedway are 80dB LAeq and
95dB LAFmax.
The highest LAeq level
recorded on January 19 was 67dB
and the highest LAFmax level
was 90dB.
Yaldhurst Rural Residents’
Association chairwoman Sara
Harnett-Kikstra felt the noise
complaint she made was still
valid.
“Anytime the noise is
unreasonable you complain. It
doesn’t matter if it is in the rules
or not,” she said.
The investigation has also
found the burnout pad at
Ruapuna had a valid resource
consent.
As part of the noise
complaints, the city council also
looked into the validity of the
resource consent.
There was concern it may have
lapsed in October 2006, and
the event was held without the
required resource consent.
But inquiries have found
that because work had started
on it in October 2001 and was
finished in January 2002, it
complied with resource consent
conditions.
Fire rages, homes at risk
Said Ms Weston: “Therefore
the pad was installed during
the appropriate consent period,
giving effect to the resource
consent,” she said.
The burnout pad was built so
boy racers could use it instead of
causing trouble on public roads
and streets.
But by 2014 it was rarely used
by boy racers.
New Zealand Burnout
Championship did not

Parents of taggers
very good, say police
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
POLICE HAVE found that seven
properties were damaged by six
youths involved in a tagging
spree in Halswell.
Last week Western News
reported six youths aged between
13-15 were involved in the
vandalism that occurred between
January 28-29. Police wanted
people who had their properties
or vehicles tagged to call them in
a bid to gauge the extent of the
vandalism committed. Hornby
police youth aid worker Senior
Constable Bruce Ward said
two of the youths aged 14 will
be referred to a family youth
conference before going to the
Youth Court.
He said this was due to police
dealing with the two youths for
previous offences.
The other four will be dealt
with by a youth aid.
Two cars were vandalised
along with five fences.
A tool shed was also broken
into at Aidanfield where an axe
was stolen and found lodged into
a lawn. Senior Constable Ward
said it is likely the damage will
run into thousands of dollars.
He said the parents have been
very good and wanting to hold
the young people to account.
“I think we can move forward
and stop it in its tracks,” he said.

three of us now. Realistically
it could go down to
two,” he said.
On-street parking spaces
are due to be reduced at
the Matipo St intersection
along with short-term
parking and loading zones
installed.
Mr Pearson said he can
fit eight cars onto the property
and a further six cars
in the work shop.
“That is not enough.
We are turning around
more cars than that. We
need the accessibility of
putting cars on the road,”
he said.

A Riccarton Community

it is still gathering information

David and his team

Concern over cycleway plans
Central Riccarton Residents’
Association acting
chairwoman Joscelyne
Silcock said it is positive for
residents to be able to come
out of their door and go
onto a cycleway.
But she said she hasn’t
decided if she is for or
against the cycleway due to
car parking being a problem
in the area.
“I can see cycleways being
a positive but then I am
thinking of all this money
and there are still parts of
the city that really haven’t
had their fair share since
the earthquakes,” Mrs
Silcock said.

Karen Young – This year’s
City2Surf will be the first ever
running event Mrs Young has
participated in. In June last year,
she joined the Energise Health

Young runs with
her club once a

think it will be achievable (the
6km),” she said.
Mark Winsley, 49 – Mr
Winsley has tackled the 14km
City2Surf event before, but this
year he will run the 6km. That’s
because his nine-year-old son,
Felix, will be running with him,
along with his partner, Janelle
Clark. The father and son have
been “hiking around the hills
and jogging
around the parks”
to prepare for the
event. Felix is not

first City2Surf in 2009, when
training for a half marathon and
“never looked back.”
Ed Hogbin, 23 – Mr Hogbin
describes himself as a “little bit
of a runner” but it will be his first
time doing the City2Surf. “A few
years back I did a half marathon
and thought I’d have another
crack at one this year.” He will
use the City2Surf 14km event as
a “halfway gauge” while training
to see how on-track he is for his
next half marathon. Hagley Park
is his ‘go-to’ spot for training two
or three times a week.
Angela Penn, 49,
and Geoff Sutton, 42 – The
brother and sister duo aren’t
letting the fact they are getting
older slow the down. The pair
are running 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 healthy for. “It’s
more about getting out there and
enjoying it. I am really looking
forward to spending some time
with my brother, it’s good to hang
out,” Mrs Penn.
Roger
Comber, 70 –
Back in his youth,
Mr Comber
took part in two
half-marathons
in Ashburton and
Roger Timaru. Now
Comber retired from his
job as an english teacher, he said
he has decided to get back into

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.”

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 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

of times a week,
Mr Ferguson has
been challenging

Pauline De Wit, 66 – Mrs

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 try the 14km. I

Promising Hornets chase NRL dreams
• By Gordon Findlater
THREE PROMISING young
Halswell Hornets have shifted 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 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 evening.
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.

“We’re a little community… we are a family”
It’s a happy community at
Ryman Healthcare’s Margaret
Stoddart Retirement Village.
Village Manager Merrin
Jack says it’s the little things
that make the difference.
The boutique village
tucked away in the heart of
Christchurch is a beacon
of light, and because of its
size Merrin says that she
has the time to get to
know everyone.
Before Merrin took the reins
as village manager at Margaret
Stoddart, she was assistant
manager at Ryman’s Rowena
Jackson village in Invercargill,
which is a much bigger village.
“As soon as you walk
through the door here at
Margaret Stoddart you get
this nice feeling, a happy
feeling. It’s the light I think,”
Merrin says, gesturing to the
windows overlooking the inner
courtyard garden.
“For the residents and their
families it is quite important
that they know me. They feel
comfortable that they can just
come in and talk to me.
“The staff feel the same
way. And as a manager it
is important that my door
is open to staff and
residents both.”
For Merrin, communication
is the key part of being a
successful manager.
“I talk to my residents and
I talk to my staff. I know it
sounds cliché but being kind
is important and I push that
with everyone.
“The reason I like working
for Ryman is that it is a genuine
company. They genuinely
care about taking good care
of people.
“Everybody here is passionate
about what they do. Carers are
passionate about caring for
people and the housekeepers
are passionate about keeping
the place spotless. And that’s
what it’s all about.”
The village is located in
Riccarton and although it
is close to Hagley Park, the
Riccarton shops, and the city
centre, it is tucked away in an
idyllic, quiet corner.
“While you are at the village
you would never know of the
busy surroundings. It gives
you the advantage of both
worlds,” says Merrin.
The village features
independent townhouses,
serviced apartments and a
resthome set in beautifully
landscaped gardens.
Residents can participate
in indoor bowls, events and
outings, read at the library,
go to the hair salon or enjoy
a meal with other residents in
the dining room.
For Janice Wisker, a
resthome resident, the
boutique, homely feel of the
village was what made her
decide to stay.
“I was unwell and came here
for respite care, and after six
weeks I decided this was it,”
says Janice.
She loves the fact that she is
close to everything.
“I walked to the Riccarton
shops the other day,”
she enthused.
Janice says her family is also
Resident Janice Wisker and Village Manager Merrin Jack
very happy that she is happy at
the village. “I truly like being
at Margaret Stoddart. I really
enjoyed meeting the staff and
fellow residents. I like good
company and have already
made friends.”
Janice also likes the fact
that the residents get involved
at the village. They attend
shows and events together and
this has brought them closer
together.
Independent residents help
out with activities at the village
and even put on shows for the
care residents.
One such show was a
Cinderella Pantomime that
was extremely popular with
the audience.
Merrin says all this helps to
shape Margaret Stoddart into
the community that it is.
“We’re a little community,
and we reect back to the
bigger community. We are
a family.”

your retirement

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

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.
