Further<br />
concerns<br />
over<br />
freedom<br />
campers’<br />
rubbish<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
FEWER PEOPLE have<br />
complained about freedom<br />
campers along Marine Pde<br />
over the summer – but Kim<br />
Money says they are still causing<br />
problems.<br />
The Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board chairwoman presented<br />
her concerns at a city council<br />
meeting about freedom campers<br />
leaving rubbish behind and defecating<br />
in the sand dunes.<br />
A city council spokesperson<br />
said the council has received 20<br />
fewer complaints about freedom<br />
campers around Thomson Park<br />
and North Beach compared to last<br />
summer. The spokesperson said<br />
15 fines had been handed out to<br />
freedom campers parked along<br />
Marine Pde this summer, but<br />
could not say if this was more or<br />
less than last summer.<br />
However, Ms Money said there<br />
continued to be a number of<br />
freedom campers without selfcontained<br />
vehicles parking in the<br />
North Beach and Thomson Park<br />
car parks. •Turn to page 7<br />

FREEDOM CAMPERS seem to be better<br />
behaved cleanliness wise at the moment –<br />
if the number of complaints being received<br />
about them is a yardstick.<br />
On page 1 today we revisit the annual<br />
saga of freedom campers parking up along<br />
Marine Pde.<br />
The city council has received fewer complaints from the<br />
public this summer than they did during 2017-2018.<br />
But Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairwoman Kim<br />
Money says they are still making a mess and she has put her<br />
concerns to the city council.<br />
One of her big concerns is the age old problem of, not to put<br />
a too finer point on it, freedom campers taking a dump in the<br />
sandhills.<br />
And that’s why Joe Public will always give freedom campers<br />
the bum’s rush.<br />

Further traffic concerns raised<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
SPEED LIMIT changes on roads<br />
around the new Shirley Boys’<br />
and Avonside Girls’ High School<br />
site in QE II Park will not go far<br />
enough to keep students safe,<br />
some say.<br />
The Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community<br />
Board<br />
approved plans to<br />
reduce the speed<br />
limit to 40km/h<br />
on Travis Rd and<br />
Evan Smith<br />
Bower Ave and<br />
50km/h Frosts<br />
Rd at a meeting<br />
last Monday.<br />
However, Avon-Otakaro<br />
Network’s spokesman Evan<br />
Smith and Avonside Girls’ High<br />
School’s board of trustees chairwoman<br />
Monica Davis said the<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
should turn its attention to the<br />
two roundabouts between Anzac<br />
Drive New Brighton Rd and<br />
Travis Rd.<br />
Mr Smith said these roundabouts<br />
were very busy and the<br />
70km/h speed limit through<br />
them would make crossing the<br />
road dangerous for students.<br />
Both Mr Smith and Ms Davis<br />
said they wanted the speed limit<br />
reduced to 50km/h through the<br />
roundabouts.<br />
CONSTRUCTION: Concern has been raised that students at the new Shirley Boys’ and Avonside<br />
Girls’ High School will be at risk of traffic.<br />
“Even high school kids on<br />
bikes and walking going across<br />
those roundabouts is just an<br />
accident waiting to happen, said<br />
Smith.”<br />
Ms Davis said potentially hundreds<br />
of students a day would be<br />
crossing the roundabouts every<br />
day to get to school.<br />
“We expect to have about 2500<br />
people on site so if it’s 25 per cent<br />
of that who cross the road . . . so<br />
we’re really concerned about the<br />
safety of road users during those<br />
peak times when people are going<br />
to and leaving the school.”<br />
Both Mr Smith and Ms Davis<br />
said NZTA should replace the<br />
roundabouts with traffic lights as<br />
well as reducing the speed limit<br />
However, NZTA senior traffic<br />
and safety engineer David<br />
Scarlet said traffic lights tended<br />
to be much more dangerous than<br />
intersections.<br />
Crashes at roundabouts tend<br />
to be of much lower severity than<br />
traffic signal crashes, where a<br />
driver crossing on the red light<br />
can cause a fatality.<br />
Mr Scarlet said NZTA was developing<br />
different infrastructure<br />
to keep pedestrians using the<br />
roundabouts safe.<br />
“NZTA has been working<br />
with the Ministry of Education<br />
and city council to address the<br />
transport needs of the two new<br />
schools.”<br />
“Is currently designing a<br />
pedestrian and cycle facility to be<br />
used on the Frosts Road leg/side<br />
of the roundabout.”<br />
But, Mr Smith said this was<br />
not good enough.<br />
“Motorists often speed through<br />
those roundabouts.”<br />
“I think, at the end of the day,<br />
traffic lights on those corners are<br />
likely to be the safest option for<br />
the kids crossing there.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
End of an era for Avonside old girl<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
PATRICIA TURNER made<br />
some of the best memories of her<br />
life during her time at Avonside<br />
Girls’ High School.<br />
But now the 77-year-old<br />
Linwood resident is getting ready<br />
to say goodbye to her former<br />
school when it shifts from its<br />
Avonside Drive site to a new<br />
shared campus with Shirley<br />
Boys’ High School at QE II Park<br />
next term.<br />
It has been 100 years since<br />
Avonside Girls’ first opened.<br />
Mrs Turner is the secretary<br />
of the old girls’ association and<br />
attended the school from 1955-<br />
1958.<br />
Mrs Turner’s sister Ruth<br />
Aitken (then Turner) also<br />
attended Avonside Girls’, starting<br />
two years later.<br />
Their mother Hilda Batson<br />
was in the first class of students<br />
who started at the school when it<br />
opened in 1919.<br />
Mrs Turner remembered<br />
cycling to school every day from<br />
her house in St Martins<br />
and the “very tall trees that<br />
turned beautiful colours in the<br />
autumn.”<br />
She also made friends that<br />
have lasted a lifetime.<br />
“It seemed to be a happy time<br />
for all of us at that stage . . . A lot<br />
of the past pupils of Avonside,<br />
we meet for lunch every three<br />
months and we’ve kept in touch<br />
and we’re very loyal to the<br />
school.”<br />
She said she had a great<br />
education, a love for English<br />
and history and a strict but fair<br />
headmistress.<br />
Mrs Turner went on to have a<br />
successful career as a shorthand<br />
typing teacher and said her time<br />
at Avonside Girls’ set her up<br />
“extremely well for the market<br />
that existed then.”<br />
When the school was badly<br />
damaged in the <strong>February</strong> 22,<br />
2011, earthquake, Mrs Turner<br />
said: “It really was heartbreaking<br />
because the writing was more<br />
or less on the wall that they<br />
wouldn’t rebuild on the site.”<br />
When the gates of Avonside’s<br />
old site close for the last time,<br />
it would signal the end of a<br />
significant chapter in the lives of<br />
its former students, she said.<br />
“In normal circumstances, I<br />
suppose the school could have<br />
continued for another hundred<br />
years, so it does mark the end<br />
of an era and it means that<br />
everything that we remembered<br />
about school will be gone,” Mrs<br />
Turner said.<br />
“They were some of the<br />
happiest days of my life and I feel<br />
it’s now like the closing of a book<br />
on that period.”<br />
An event will be held at the<br />
Avonside Girls’ old site on<br />
Saturday from 1.30pm until 5pm<br />
for past and present students<br />
to reconnect, say farewell and<br />
celebrate the school’s 100 year<br />
anniversary.<br />
Mrs Turner said the event<br />
would have a post-World War<br />
1 theme to recognise the huge<br />
impact that the war had on its<br />
first students.<br />
She said her mother used<br />
to say Avonside Girls’ was an<br />
escape for many of the<br />
school’s first students who<br />
had fathers and brothers who<br />
returned home from the war<br />
traumatised.<br />
“My mother always thought it<br />
must have been a bit of a refuge<br />
for these girls, where they could<br />
just let themselves be teenagers<br />
and they didn’t have to worry<br />
about making a sudden noise or<br />
waking up and hearing their big<br />
brothers screaming,” Mrs Turner<br />
said.<br />
The farewell would include<br />
a performance from a band<br />
playing wartime songs and they<br />
would be serving Anzac biscuits<br />
to pay tribute.<br />
Mrs Turner said hundreds of<br />
former students of all ages would<br />

A WAINONI woman had a lucky<br />
escape after a motorist allegedly<br />
under the influence of drugs<br />
crashed into her neighbour’s<br />
home.<br />
Wendy Kemp was sitting in the<br />
lounge of her Pannell Ave home<br />
getting ready to go to work when<br />
she heard an “almighty crash.”<br />
A 31-year-old man, who has<br />
been charged with dangerous<br />
driving and driving under the<br />
influence of drugs, drove up her<br />
neighbour’s driveway, hitting<br />
their house and crashing into the<br />
fence and trees.<br />
The car overturned in the crash<br />
and became wedged upside down,<br />
between the neighbour’s house<br />
and the adjoining fence.<br />
“If the trees hadn’t of been there,<br />
he would have driven straight into<br />
our lounge, hitting me!”<br />
“It could have killed me,” she<br />
said.<br />
Vandals hit controversial apartment complex<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE SITE on which a<br />
contentious apartment complex<br />
is being built has been the target<br />
of vandalism.<br />
The Williams<br />
Corporation<br />
development<br />
site on Perth<br />
St, Richmond,<br />
was flooded<br />
overnight last<br />
week after<br />
Blair<br />
Chappell<br />
someone cut the<br />
site’s water toby<br />
and turned it<br />
back on.<br />
The 2m hole, dug out for the<br />
complex’s foundations, was<br />
entirely filled with water.<br />
“Like a big swimming pool,”<br />
managing director Blair Chappell<br />
said.<br />
“It spewed tens of thousands of<br />
litres of water onto the ground.”<br />
Foundation work on the site<br />
was put on hold as contractors<br />
hired a diesel pump to get rid<br />
A police spokeswoman<br />
would not say what drug the<br />
man was allegedly under the<br />
influence of, as the matter is now<br />
before the courts.<br />
Mrs Kemp’s husband, Peter,<br />
helped with others to get the man,<br />
who was unharmed, out of the<br />
vehicle.<br />
The couple have been living<br />
on the street for eight years and<br />
never had any problems, said Mrs<br />
Kemp.<br />
Her neighbours were on holiday<br />
at the time of the crash.<br />
The crash caused damage to the<br />
side of their home, as well as the<br />
adjoining fence with Mr and Mrs<br />
Kemp’s property.<br />
Mrs Kemp said both couples<br />
will now have to pay an excess of<br />
about $400 to get their properties<br />
repaired by insurance.<br />
The man will appear in the<br />
district court on March 5.<br />
of the water, which took all<br />
morning to remove.<br />
“It didn’t really have a true cost<br />
other than half a day of using a<br />
pump at about $500 and a few<br />
contractors sitting around for<br />
the morning, but there’s always<br />
something to do on sites like<br />
this,” Mr Chappell said.<br />
The complex faces opposition<br />
from Richmond residents,<br />
who are concerned about<br />
the growing number of high density<br />
developments in the<br />
area and their impact on the suburb.<br />
However, Mr Chappell said the<br />
site was likely the target of vandals.<br />
“I’d say it’s opportunist vandals<br />
. . . it’s just malicious damage,”<br />
Mr Chappell said.<br />
“Not something you want to<br />

Trust to move<br />
from church site<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
THE WAINONI Avonside<br />
Community Services Trust<br />
will shift from its site at the<br />
earthquake-damaged Wainoni<br />
Methodist church by June.<br />
The decision was made because<br />
of concerns about the effect that<br />
working out<br />
of leaky office<br />
spaces was having<br />
on the health<br />
and safety of the<br />
trust’s employees.<br />
The trust will<br />
Betty<br />
Chapman<br />
now shift to a<br />
new site at All<br />
Saints Anglican<br />
Church in Burwood after 18 years<br />
at its Wainoni site.<br />
The Wainoni Methodist<br />
Church had not been used for<br />
church services since the 2011<br />
earthquake, but the trust had<br />
continued to use it for a range of<br />
social and recreational activities<br />
for the elderly.<br />
The Coastal Burwood Community<br />
Board will help fund the cost<br />
of the move.<br />
Wainoni Avonside Community<br />
Services Trust’s co-ordinator<br />
said Betty Chapman said its 150<br />
members would move with it to<br />
its new site.<br />

His court design named Forces<br />
sits directly below the mural<br />
completed by fellow winner Josh<br />
O’Rourke.<br />
Ingram said his piece<br />
was made up of geometric<br />
shapes, bold colours, lines and<br />
stripes, which represented<br />
traditional Maori narratives<br />
around “the forces of nature<br />
where the sea meets the land<br />
and the sky.”<br />
He said these narratives<br />
were incredibly relevant to<br />
new Brighton residents, who<br />
often felt the full effect of these<br />
forces.<br />
Ingram worked alongside<br />
Park Life, a company which<br />
installs acrylic sports surfaces to<br />
complete the project.<br />
He did the outlines of the<br />
shapes on the surface himself<br />
and told Park Life workers where<br />
to place colours as he went.<br />
Finally seeing the work come<br />
to life after months of drafting<br />
it on paper had made his hard<br />
work all worth it, Ingram said.<br />
The artwork was his gift to the<br />
area where he had lived for six<br />
years and he was most excited<br />
about seeing his young son enjoy<br />
it for years to come.<br />
“What I’m looking forward to<br />
is my young son growing up and<br />
him saying my dad did that to<br />
his friends and watching him go<br />

Boxing gym’s<br />
future a lot<br />
more certain<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
AN ARANUI boxing gym has<br />
bought the lease for its building<br />
for just $1 a year.<br />
The city council has agreed<br />
to sell the lease of the damaged<br />
Wainoni Park Youth Activity<br />
Centre (known<br />
as The Bunker)<br />
to A-Town Boxing<br />
Gym, on the<br />
condition that<br />
A-Town funds its<br />
repairs itself.<br />
A-Town have<br />
Jamie<br />
Roberts<br />
been renting the<br />
space since 2005,<br />
but it was badly<br />
damaged by an arson attack in<br />
2014.<br />
A-Town boxing gym’s manager<br />
Jamie Roberts said over<br />
$100,000 of damage still had to<br />
be repaired, but the city council<br />
had previously said it could not<br />
justify paying for these repairs.<br />
Mr Roberts said the handing<br />
over of the lease was the best<br />
option for all involved because<br />
233 Riccarton Road<br />
Phone 341 5419<br />
“Easiest to find Denture<br />
Clinic in Christchurch”<br />
A-Town could finally get on with<br />
seeking out funding options for<br />
the repairs after years of not having<br />
any power to do this.<br />
“It gives us stability, we’ve<br />
been in the community almost<br />
20 years and now we’ll be there<br />
for another three 11-year leases.<br />
We’re pretty confident that<br />
we’re not planning on going<br />
anywhere.”<br />
He said A-town was currently<br />
in talks with a number of agencies<br />
including the Rata Foundation<br />
about getting funding for<br />
the repairs.<br />
“If we were to do sausage<br />
sizzles we’d never get there, so<br />
we’re going to look into funding<br />
applications and different agencies.<br />
It’s probably not something<br />
one outfit is going to fund, it<br />
might be a joint venture between<br />
different people.”<br />
Mr Roberts said the gym<br />
had offered so much to its<br />
surrounding community for<br />
many years and having this<br />
stability meant they could<br />
continue to make a difference.<br />

It was not uncommon for these<br />
campers to leave piles of rubbish<br />
and human waste behind, Ms<br />
Money said.<br />
“They’ll put their rubbish out<br />
beside their vans in the car parks<br />
and then they’ll just take off.”<br />
She said it was common for<br />
freedom campers near Thomson<br />
Park to go into<br />
the sandhills and<br />
they use those<br />
as their toilet if<br />
they’re not close<br />
enough to a toilet<br />
. . . if you ever take<br />
a look down there<br />
Kim Money you’ll find toilet<br />
paper around.”<br />
Efforts to stop this behaviour<br />
had been somewhat successful,<br />
but more needed to be done by<br />
the city council to address the<br />
issue fully.<br />
“We’ve had Government funding<br />
for the new loo to be put in at<br />
Thomson Park . . . they are using<br />
it, but some of the ones who are<br />
parking further down aren’t, said<br />
Ms Money.”<br />
She said not enough ‘no freedom<br />
camping’ signage was up<br />
in the most popular spots and<br />
this was also contributing to the<br />
problem.<br />
“We’ve already asked staff to<br />
put up a sign in the car park at<br />
Thomson Park, but there are not<br />
enough signs. We don’t have any<br />
signs in the North Beach car park<br />
and some of the parking bays opposite<br />
Thomson Park also don’t<br />
have signs.”<br />
The city council spokesperson<br />
said it had listened to Mrs<br />
Money’s concerns and would be<br />
installing more signage in both<br />
car parks next month.<br />
Ms Money said the problem<br />
did not end here though.<br />
She said the number of city<br />
council staff employed to police<br />
freedom campers in these areas<br />
was too small.<br />
“There’s only two for Banks<br />
Peninsula and along our coast,<br />
so they’re really stretched. As a<br />
community board, we do need to<br />
be getting the message across that<br />
perhaps the compliance officers<br />
over the summer period need to<br />
be increased.”<br />
The city council spokesperson<br />
said it had <strong>26</strong> enforcement officers<br />
with the authority to hand<br />
out freedom camping fines, but<br />

along Marine<br />
Pde are<br />
causing<br />
issues.<br />
only four were rostered on across<br />
Christchurch on a typical day.<br />
Ms Money said too many<br />
freedom campers were escaping<br />
fines by printing out fake stickers<br />
saying their vehicles were selfcontained.<br />
“It’s the little vans that are the<br />
issue. There’s no way a van like<br />
that can hold a toilet.”<br />
The city council spokesperson<br />
said “the council doesn’t have<br />
knowledge of this.”<br />
Ms Money said New Brighton<br />
and its surrounding areas loved<br />
tourists, but the way some were<br />
behaving was ruining the area for<br />
everyone.<br />
“We welcome these people to<br />
our area and it’s great to have<br />
the tourists in the place, but<br />
we also have to look after our<br />
residents and our spaces and<br />
our environment, so to do that,<br />
we just have to send a clear<br />
message that they need to be<br />
responsible and respectful to our<br />

Exploring Antarctica on a kayak<br />
A CHRISTCHURCH woman is<br />
about to head to Antarctica to<br />
kayak with an Olympian – all in<br />
the name of inspiring others to<br />
get out and explore.<br />
Ara Institute of Canterbury<br />
learning adviser Georgina<br />
Archibald, 29, is one of five<br />
young people selected to take<br />
part in the Antarctic Heritage<br />
Trust’s Inspiring<br />
Explorers<br />
Expedition.<br />
“This will<br />
certainly be the<br />
greatest outdoor<br />
adventure I’ve<br />
ever undertaken,<br />

Tuesday <strong>February</strong> <strong>26</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />
so I’m thrilled<br />
to have been<br />
selected,” said<br />
Miss Archibald.<br />
Next month Miss Archibald,<br />
who lives in Woolston, and the<br />
expedition team – including<br />
Olympic slalom canoeist Mike<br />
Dawson – will travel to the<br />
Antarctic Peninsula via South<br />
America on a One Oceans<br />
Expeditions vessel.<br />
Once in Antarctica, they will<br />
have the opportunity to explore<br />
the region in kayaks with help<br />
from guides and Dawson.<br />
“Going to Antarctica is<br />
incredible but being able to<br />
kayak there will be even more<br />
amazing . . . it means we’ll<br />
be able to get up close to the<br />
landscape and wildlife,” said<br />
Miss Archibald.<br />
As she counts down to the<br />
trip, her focus is on training and<br />
ensuring she has the right gear.<br />
“I’ve been enjoying kayaking<br />
around Banks Peninsula over<br />
the summer. However, the warm<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
temperatures have been very<br />
different to the polar conditions<br />
in Antarctica, and one of the<br />
expedition’s biggest challenges<br />
will be managing the extreme<br />
cold while kayaking – ideally<br />
I’ll get my layering techniques<br />
right.”<br />
As a self-described storyteller,<br />
Miss Archibald was drawn to<br />

experience new landscapes and<br />
wildlife.<br />
On her return, Miss Archibald<br />
will share her story with the<br />
Pasifika community, schools,<br />
tertiary institutions and<br />
community organisations.<br />
“My message will be focused<br />
on what an incredible world we<br />
live in and to make the most of<br />
being able to get out there and<br />
explore it. Adventures, big or<br />
small, local or further afield, are<br />
what opens our eyes and make<br />
us appreciate life.”<br />
Antarctic Heritage Trust<br />
executive director Nigel Watson<br />
will lead the expedition, saying<br />
it will be an unforgettable<br />
experience.<br />
“We have an incredible team<br />
on board this year. We can’t<br />
wait to share this journey as<br />
Antarctica has the power to<br />
change lives.”<br />

School gets<br />
garden grant<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
SOUTH NEW Brighton School<br />
has received a $1000 grant to<br />
install a community garden on<br />
its grounds.<br />
The school was one of 30 from<br />
across New Zealand which<br />
received $25,000 between them<br />
from Countdown to go towards<br />
sustainability projects.<br />
The garden space will include<br />
a greenhouse made of plastic<br />
bottles, a shed, an orchard and<br />
a garden bed with fruit and vegetables<br />
selected by the pupils.<br />
Sustain South Brighton community<br />
activator Samantha Fay,<br />
who has two children – Ezra<br />
and Ella – at the school, submitted<br />
the successful funding<br />
application.<br />
Ms Fay said the garden will<br />
also include a 40m strip with<br />
fruit trees planted, owned and<br />
maintained by pupils’ families.<br />
Fruit and vegetables from the<br />
garden will be available for both<br />
pupils and the school’s neighbours<br />
to enjoy.<br />
Both groups will take joint<br />
responsibility for its upkeep, she<br />
said.<br />
Ms Fay said the garden will<br />
aim to promote healthy eating<br />
to pupils and be used for educational<br />
exercises.<br />
It would allow pupils “to grow<br />
something right from the start<br />
and then take it from garden to<br />

NURSES ANITA van der<br />
Velden and Jane Yellowlees<br />
will soon be Rotorua-bound<br />
in a couple of classic Morris<br />
Minors.<br />
On April 15, the two will be<br />
travelling 850km in Myrtle, a<br />
67-year-old convertible, and<br />
Audrey, a 60-year-old saloon,<br />
to raise money for the New<br />
Zealand Spinal Trust.<br />
Burwood Spinal Unit registered<br />
nurse Ms Yellowlees will<br />
be at the wheel of Myrtle with<br />
her colleague Mrs van der<br />
Velden navigating.<br />
“We will be hurtling along<br />
with the wind in our hair,”<br />
said Mrs van der Velden.<br />
Mrs van der Velden’s husband<br />
is going to be driving<br />
Audrey, with their teenage son<br />
Metin as navigator.<br />
Knowing that she owned a<br />
“lovely Morris Minor,” Mrs<br />
van der Velden invited her<br />
colleague Ms Yellowlees to a<br />
classic car rally.<br />
Mrs van der Velden has<br />
worked at the spinal unit for<br />
nearly 20 years and Ms Yellowlees<br />
for six years.<br />
“Jane flippantly said she<br />
might drive her car, Myrtle,<br />
to the Morris Minor convention<br />
in Rotorua and I casually<br />
replied: ‘I will be your navigator’.”<br />

“We are paying for the trip<br />
ourselves but hope to spread<br />
the word about the wonderful<br />
work the people of the<br />
New Zealand Spinal Trust<br />
are achieving and raise some<br />
much-needed funds in the<br />
process.”<br />
Mrs van der Velden said<br />
when she told her husband<br />
about their plans he wanted<br />
to go too. “But our two Morris<br />
Minors, Shrek and Monty,<br />
weren’t really up to it.”<br />
“I said to Brian: ‘Well we<br />
have got some money set aside<br />
to paint the house – why don’t<br />
we buy another Morrie instead?’<br />
And so we got Audrey.”<br />
Mrs van der Velden said her<br />
uncle, who passed away a few<br />
years ago, spent many years in<br />
a wheelchair after sustaining a<br />
T4 level injury at work.<br />
“He was always helping<br />
others and is an inspiration<br />
to me. Compared to the<br />
challenges he faced, and the<br />
challenges that many with a<br />
spinal cord injury still face<br />
every day, any small hiccups<br />
along our little trip will be just<br />
a wee bump in the road.”<br />

Diverse craft beers draw<br />
customers to local bar<br />
Offering an extensive selection of craft<br />
beers, the Twisted Hop in Ferry Road<br />
draws customers from a wide swathe of<br />
the city’s eastern and southern suburbs,<br />
who meet there to enjoy the variety and<br />
quality of beers and the friendly local vibe.<br />
Head barman Dustin has his eye on the<br />
ball when it comes to ‘limited editions’,<br />
introducing a constantly changing lineup<br />
of guest brews from New Zealand and<br />
overseas.<br />
The hazy IPAs (Indian Pale Ales)<br />
are especially on trend at present, with<br />
customers enjoying the distinctive ‘hoppy’<br />
flavours, Dustin says.<br />
Cask ales are another favourite, the caskconditioned<br />
beers being produced using<br />
the old-school English method of brewing.<br />
The food at the Twisted Hop is equal to<br />
the beers in flavour and quality, with head<br />
chef Tada smoking and marinating the<br />
meats on site, and making preserves and<br />

Arawa crowned NZ’s<br />
top canoe club<br />
SPORTS<br />
after big medal haul<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
ARAWA CANOE Club have<br />
been crowned the top club in the<br />
country after capturing 22 gold<br />
medals at the NZ and Oceania<br />
canoe sprint championships on<br />
Lake Karapiro.<br />
The Kerrs Reach club collected<br />
65 medals in total, including 22<br />
gold, 25 silver and 18 bronze.<br />
They finished ahead of North<br />
Shore on 17 golds and Poverty<br />
Bay with 14 golds.<br />
“I just think we’ve got a really<br />
good group who feed off each<br />
other at the moment and are<br />
constantly pushing each other.<br />
They’re starting to get some<br />
results now,” said Arawa coach<br />
Paul Fidow.<br />
The club’s dominance was on<br />
show in the under-18 women’s<br />
division. In the under-18 K1 200<br />
A final, Arawa athletes made up<br />
seven of the nine starters.<br />
“To have that many from one<br />
club in an A final is pretty fantastic,”<br />
said Fidow.<br />
The biggest haul was made<br />
by Olivia Brett, who won five<br />
gold medals in the under-18 K1<br />
200, under-18 K1 500, under-18<br />
K2 200, under-18 K2 500 and<br />
under-18 K4 500. Brett also won<br />
a bronze medal in the K1 200<br />
under-23 Oceania championship<br />
category.<br />
She is now all but sure to<br />
represent New Zealand at the<br />
ICF junior and under-23 canoe<br />
sprint world championships in<br />
Romania in August.<br />
“I think she’ll have a really<br />
good crack at the world junior<br />
title this year,” said Fidow.<br />
Brett has some good genes<br />
– her father Steve won the 55 and<br />
over masters’ 1000m event. Her<br />
brother Stephen Brett also played<br />
39 games for the Crusaders in<br />
the late 2000s.<br />
There was also family success<br />
for sisters Ngariti and Isla<br />
Mackenzie. Ngariti won gold in<br />
the under-14 K1 200, under-14<br />
K2 200 and under-14 K4 200.<br />
Meanwhile, Isla won gold in the<br />
tyros division K1 100, K1 200<br />
and K1 500.<br />
While Arawa have been the<br />
nation’s dominant club in recent<br />
years, Fidow says they’re always<br />
looking at how to become<br />
stronger as they build up to<br />
defending their club title in 12<br />
months.<br />
TEAM WORK: Arawa’s under-18 K4 women’s teams won both<br />
the K4 200 and 500.<br />
DUO: Tilly Pritchard and Jessica Nisbett<br />
(above) teamed up to win silver in both<br />
the under-18 K2 200 and 500.<br />
DOMINANT: Pieta Luthi, Olivia Brett<br />
and Tilly Pritchard (right) completed<br />
the podium for Arawa in the women’s<br />
under-18 K1 200 and K1 500.

Plan to do up historic Kapuatohe houses<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
TWO HISTORIC Belfast<br />
properties will be rented by the<br />
city council.<br />
The city council will spend<br />
almost $400,000 renovating<br />
Kapuatohe Dwellings and<br />
Kapuatohe Cottage on Main<br />
North Rd.<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
members<br />
approved the<br />
city council’s<br />
recommendation<br />
to use the two<br />
buildings as<br />
residential<br />
Sam<br />
MacDonald<br />
properties last<br />
week.<br />
The $370,000<br />
restoration of<br />
the Kapuatohe Dwellings and<br />
$<strong>26</strong>,000 restoration of Kapuatohe<br />
Cottage was approved in 2017<br />
as part of a heritage repair and<br />
strengthening project in the city<br />
council’s Long Term Plan budget.<br />
However, community board<br />
chairman Sam MacDonald<br />
has raised concerns over the<br />
restoration costs.<br />
“There’s going to be a lot<br />
of money pumped into them<br />
and my concern is that it’s not<br />
going to stop with what’s been<br />
allocated,” said Mr MacDonald.<br />
He said the age of the buildings<br />
as well as compliance laws<br />
for rental properties, such as<br />
compulsory insulation from<br />
July 1, could mean city council<br />
staff end up asking the board for<br />
more money. “As long as they<br />
can be tenanted at market rate.<br />
It’s important that we maximise<br />
the return to the ratepayer<br />
or else we are just sitting on<br />
assets that provide no value,”<br />
HISTORY: The<br />
Kapuatohe<br />
Dwellings<br />
were used as a<br />
schoolhouse for<br />
teachers in 1878,<br />
while Kapuatohe<br />
Cottage (above)<br />
was built in 1912.<br />
said Mr MacDonald. “When<br />
the ratepayers are putting in<br />
money to historically significant<br />
buildings, they shouldn’t be<br />
restricted to the public all year<br />
round. During heritage week<br />
they should have a bit of access.”<br />
A 2010 management<br />
plan for Kapuatohe Reserve<br />
recommended the buildings<br />
are occupied so the temperature<br />
and moisture could be<br />
managed.<br />
During a public engagement<br />
process in March last year,<br />
one applicant’s interest in<br />
operating a business out of the<br />
Kapuatohe Dwellings was denied<br />
as it did not comply with the<br />
management plan.<br />
Both buildings were occupied<br />
by tenants before they were<br />
damaged in the <strong>February</strong> 22,<br />
2011, earthquake.<br />

Getting in<br />
We want to make sure everyone<br />
has a great time on the day, and<br />
that there’s nothing stopping you<br />
getting into the venue. So there<br />
are some important dos and don’ts<br />
that need to be followed.<br />
To make sure there are no<br />
surprises when you arrive,<br />
take a few minutes to read our<br />
Conditions of Entry.<br />
We recommend you aim to get to<br />
the venue well before the show<br />
starts to get yourself a good spot.<br />
Bus transport<br />
There will be five pick up locations<br />
around Christchurch and the<br />
surrounding suburbs for those who<br />
have pre-purchased bus tickets.<br />
Just remember you need to<br />
check in half an hour before<br />
the bus departs.<br />
Sorry but, due to high demand,<br />
almost all the prepaid bus tickets<br />
have been sold. BUT there is<br />
an excellent regular Metro bus<br />
service to Lincoln on the day<br />
which runs at regular intervals<br />
from Parklands through the city<br />
centre and on to Lincoln.<br />
Getting to<br />
Lincoln Domain<br />
& where to park<br />
Lincoln Domain is located at<br />
15 Meijer Drive Halswell, Lincoln.<br />
There will be parking at Lincoln<br />
High School on Boundary<br />
Road,which is just a short walk<br />
from the venue via a walkway.<br />
You can download a printable pdf<br />
of a map showing the location of<br />

www.selwynsounds.co.nz<br />
Seating<br />
Zones<br />
We want everyone to have a great<br />
experience and be able to see our<br />
fantastic line up from their seats.<br />

zones at the venue – there will be<br />
no seating of any kind allowed at<br />
the front (but feel free to bring a<br />
picnic blanket), the next section<br />
will be low chairs only, and you<br />

An unparalleled lifestyle in magical Moncks Bay<br />
242 Main Road, Redcliffs - “As-Is, Where-Is”<br />
Auction: Thursday, 14 March <strong>2019</strong> Unless Sold Prior<br />
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 living rooms | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number SM0166<br />
Treasured by two generations and offering<br />
a truly once in a lifetime opportunity, this<br />
tantalizing home upon a 2853m2 section<br />
enjoys an overwhelming tranquil setting and<br />
is presented to the market on an uninsured<br />
“as-is, where-is” basis.<br />
Situated in the tightly held locale of magical<br />
Moncks Bay, this property makes a memorable<br />
first impression and was constructed in the<br />
1960s but has naturally received extensive<br />
modern enhancements including a Bruce<br />
Banbury architectural renovation in 2004.<br />
Resort-style serenity is provided by the<br />
colourful Clivias as well as the established<br />
greenery and palms trees that border the<br />
swimming and spa pool, with the outstanding<br />
views and majestic cliff face backdrop only<br />
escalating the property’s visual appeal.<br />
Spacious living areas are complemented<br />
by the sizeable Kwila deck, water feature<br />
and idyllic alfresco surroundings which<br />
have previously hosted a wedding and could<br />
continue to be the scene of many memorable<br />
occasions.<br />
Skylights, the superb use of timber, a<br />
contemporary colour scheme and the<br />
magnificent stone fireplaces create an<br />
incredibly inviting ambience indoors where<br />
you’ll find four double bedrooms, two<br />
bathrooms and a relaxing sunroom area that<br />
comes complete with a spa bath.<br />
With an expansive lawn area and the<br />
picturesque garden at the rear of the property<br />
both epitomise peace and privacy and offer<br />
access up to the top of the section where<br />
you can sit and admire the ocean vistas over<br />
Moncks Bay incorporating from Shag Rock<br />
and right along the <strong>Pegasus</strong> Bay coastline.<br />
This property can potentially be subdivided<br />
which furthers your options and adds<br />
another element of interest for buyers.<br />
Ensconced in a private lane that sits across<br />
from the waterfront, this property is also<br />
positioned to enjoy the area’s celebrated<br />
microclimate and is located within easy reach<br />
of the beaches, boating facilities, Barnett<br />
Park and the amenities in both Redcliffs and<br />
Sumner.<br />
With floors needing repiling and being sold<br />
uninsured, deemed uneconomical to repair,<br />
this unique “as-is, where-is” opportunity is a<br />
real game changer with the feel good factor<br />
and is guaranteed to attract attention. Your<br />
earliest viewing is advised.<br />
Open Homes: Wednesdays, Saturdays<br />
and Sundays 1:00pm - 1:45pm.<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the <strong>February</strong> 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on <strong>February</strong> 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on <strong>February</strong><br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the <strong>February</strong> 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffered damage<br />
in the <strong>February</strong> and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />
