Bid to stop 

motor bikes 

hooning 

along 

estuary 

edge and 

red zone 

• By Matt Slaughter 

MOTOR-CYCLISTS hooning 

along the Southshore estuary edge 

and through popular red zone 

walking tracks are putting lives in 

danger. 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board deputy chairman Tim 

Sintes said it is an accident 

waiting to happen, but there is 

currently no signage to say motorcycles 

are banned in the areas. 

Land Information New Zealand, 

which is responsible for the 

red zone, agreed motor-cycles 

should not be ridden in the area. 

However, Mr Sintes has been 

asking LINZ to install “no motorcycle” 

signage for six years and 

nothing has been done. 

LINZ’s Christchurch land and 

property group manager Jeremy 

Barr said a staff member was on 

site on Friday looking at options 

for installing ‘no motor-cycle’ signage. 

He said LINZ will continue 

its conversation with the Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board.

from the editor’s desk 

IT’S ONLY taken six years, but finally 

the Government organisation which 

looks after the red zone has woken up to 

the need for “no motor-cycle” signs in 

Southshore. 

Local community board member Tim Sintes (see page 1) says 

people using the walking tracks and beach are in danger. He 

is worried there will be the odd punch-up too as frustration 

grows. 

Sintes raises a valid point about the motor bikes. The sooner 

the signs are put up the better. 

And bad news for seagulls on page 3. The city council is looking 

at seagull-proof rubbish bins on the north and south ramps. 

No doubt they’ll swoop elsewhere for the left over chips and 

bits of batter.

Revolutionary plan for red zone 


A NEW, children-friendly 

development along the 

Richmond end of the Avon River 

will aim to help Banks Avenue 

School Pupils recover from the 

trauma of the earthquakes. 

Avon-Otakaro Network’s 

Evan Smith said about four out 

of five Banks Avenue School 

pupils had been left with some 

form of post-traumatic stress 

disorder. 

Banks 

Avenue School 

principal 

Toni Burnside 

said an ongoing 

study by 

Canterbury 

Toni Burnside 

University associate 

professor 

Kathleen 

Liberty had found Banks Avenue 

pupils continued to show symptoms 

of PTSD almost nine years 

on from the first quake. 

Mrs Burnside said these 

symptoms included not being 

able to focus in class, having 

separation anxiety from their 

parents and struggling to sleep 

at night. 

Mr Smith said Avon-Otakaro 

Network’s so-called Riverlution 

project would aim to bring 

normality and fun back into the 

lives of pupils and residents who 

had been surrounded by red 

zone for so long. 

“With the behaviours some 

of the kids are exhibiting, they 

calm down a lot if they’re out 

and about and getting in touch 

with the dirt.” 

The development would run 

from Glade Ave to Banks Ave 

and include a number of features 

including kids walking trails, 

play areas gardens, a pop-up cafe 

and a tiny house village. 

“For a long time this area has 

been a place of fear and now it 

can be a part of the solution. 

It’s really just enabling kids to

School pupils

trauma of the 

earthquakes. 

have an opportunity to explore 

the space and be at peace with it 

again,” said Mr Smith. 

He said Banks Avenue 

pupils would get to choose 

one feature to include in the 

project and the discussion on 

what this would be was in its 

early stages. 

Mrs Burnside said Ms Liberty 

was continuing to work with 

Banks Ave’s teachers to develop 

strategies to help pupils with 

PTSD cope at school. 

These included “drink to 

think,” a daily initiative where 

children are made to drink milk, 

having play time before lunchtime 

so students are 

settled when they come 

back into the classroom and 

having a snack break between 

the start of school and morning 

tea time. 

She said involving pupils in 

the Riverlution project would 

be another positive step towards 

their recovery. 

“We’ve been devastated here, 

so it’s really nice for them to 

be a part of that re-growth 

and rejuvenation . . . in years 

to come, they’ll remember the 

earthquakes, but they’ll also 

remember that they’ve played a 

part.”

Reserve developments 


AN OVERHAUL of 

reserves in South New 

Brighton is set to continue. 

The city council has said 

the designs for new projects 

in a plan to improve 

parks and green areas 

throughout South New 

Brighton can start. 

A new pump track in 

South New Brighton Park 

and new picnic areas in 

southern Bridge St and 

Blighs Garden will be 

designed. 

The projects are expected 

to be completed by 2021. 

They are part of 

a plan, which was 

created in 2014 to 

revamp Blighs Garden, 

Bridge Reserve 

and South New 

Brighton Park. 

Work has already 

occurred in all of 

the areas and so far, 

has involved the removal 

of trees, the demolition 

of earthquake damaged 

buildings and the construction 

of some infrastructure 

including a new 

toilet and jetty in South 

New Brighton Park. 

Once the pump track 

and picnic areas are

by the development 

of other infrastructure 

including walking tracks,

Tim Sintes said the 

reserves had been 

hammered in the 

earthquakes. 

“There’s not an 

area around that didn’t 

need work 

. . . they were just in a general

He said the parks were 

used by large numbers of 

residents and the developments 

would do a lot to

South Brighton community.

Council culture worries East 

• By Julia Evans 

UNDER FIRE city councillor 

David East is worried about the 

internal culture among some city 

council staff. 

It has been six months since Cr 

East accused city council staff of 

tampering with the District Plan. 

He has since been embroiled in a 

code of conduct complaint. 

But he said the saga had 

sparked concerns about aspects 

of the city council’s culture. 

Cr East passed on those concerns 

to Mayor Lianne Dalziel, 

chief executive Karleen Edwards 

and his city council colleagues. 

He said the majority of staff are 

“brilliant” and do an “exceedingly 

good job” for the council. 

“However, in parts, there is resistance 

and a culture that is detrimental 

to the future progress of 

the city . . . there is a reluctance 

to embrace a can-do attitude.” 

He said he has lodged his own 

code of conduct complaints 

against two senior staff members. 

They had not yet been formalised, 

but he said staff were “on 

notice.” 

“One senior member wrote 

something in an email to question 

my ability . . . the other was 

a verbal comment made in the 

council foyer,” he said. 

SIEGE: City councillor David East is still calling for an 

independent inquiry into how a clause was left out of the 

District Plan. 

Cr East has been under fire 

since he claimed a clause in the 

District Plan, giving leeway to 

people in specific coastal areas, 

deemed at risk of flooding, to 

build and extend homes, was 

intentionally left out by staff. 

His call was backed by Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board 

chairwoman Kim Money and 

deputy chairman Tim Sintes, 

and Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member Darrell 

Latham, who face their own 

code of conduct complaints. 

As a result of the outspoken 

comments, Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Minister 

Megan Woods approved the city 

council’s proposal to amend the 

District Plan under section 71 of 

the Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Act. 

Cr East acknowledged Dr 

Woods, Ms Dalziel, Dr Edwards 

and staff for fast-tracking the 

changes. 

But he is still calling for an 

urgent, independent inquiry into 

how the clause was left out. 

An audit, which the city council 

commissioned, by Environment 

Canterbury councillor and 

former Environment Court judge 

Peter Skelton found there never 

was a missing clause. 

However, Cr East said the 

Skelton audit did not address a 

number of irregularities or how 

the clause came to be missing. 

Ms Dalziel and Dr Edwards are 

demanding a further apology, 

he said. “I think my major 

objection is I’ve been proved 

guilty as charged and the inquiry 

is needed to say if there’s any 

substance to the claims,” Cr East 

said. 

“I apologised and I’m not 

wanting to do it again and again 

. . . the independent inquiry 

would bring to the fore these 

irregularities in the District Plan, 

why should I apologise before 

that?”

Coastal climate 

change plan 

goes ‘off-track’ 

• By Julia Evans 

SOUTHSHORE residents feel 

climate change might come 

sooner than their promised 

regeneration plan. 

Regenerate Christchurch has 

told the city council the Southshore 

and South New Brighton 

project was “off-track” as it undertook 

an internal review. It announced 

coastal residents would 

be consulted in July about the 

future of their suburbs to come 

up with solutions to manage the 

impacts of climate change. 

But Southshore Residents’ 

Association chairwoman Lynda 

Burdekin said it was “incredibly 

disappointing” to hear the plan 

had been delayed. “If they wait long 

enough, they won’t have a problem. 

We’re feeling really let down– we 

put a lot of work into working with 

Regenerate,” she said. 

Regenerate chief executive Ivan 

Iafeta said it is reviewing the 

project’s next phase with the city 

council, Environment Canterbury 

and Ngai Tahu. “Because of 

the complexity of the overlapping 

issues associated with the earthquakes 

and climate change, it is 

important to review and refine 

our approach.”

The Hunt for MH370 

The mystery. The cover-up. The Truth 

By ean Higgins 

Somewhere out in the wild seas of the southern Indian Ocean, in 

the underwater canyons of Broken Ridge near the alien sub-terrain 

known as the Seventh Arc lies the answer to the world’s greatest 

aviation mystery. 

Why, on the night of 8 March 2014, did Malaysia Flight MH370 

suddenly U-turn on the trip from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, zig-zag 

over Malaysia and up the Straits of Malacca, then disappear in the 

middle of nowhere without a word from anyone on board? 

Was it an elaborate murder-suicide by a rogue pilot? A terrible 

accident as a result of an on-board fire, rapid decompression or 

systems failure? A terrorist hijacking gone wrong? Was the flight 

captured by North Korean spies? Or even, as a few extremists 

believe, the victim of extra-terrestrial intervention? Journalist for The Australian Ean Higgins has led 

the world’s coverage of the MH370 saga, one of the 21st century’s most baffling, enduring and 

controversial mysteries. Ean’s book draws on five years of interviews with aviation experts, victim 

families, air-crash investigators and air and ocean hunters, and takes us inside the saga like never 

before, written up close, on the inside, and from the major player’s perspectives. 

Untitled By Anna Pasternak 

Who was the real Wallis: an opportunistic American social climber, 

a master manipulator or the true love of Edward’s life? Amid the 

cacophony of condemnation her story has become obfuscated. 

Untitled is an intimate biography of one of the most misunderstood 

women in British royal history. His charisma and glamour ensured 

him the status of a rock star prince. Yet Edward gave up the British 

throne, the British Empire and his position as Emperor of India, to 

marry his true love, American divorcee Wallis Simpson. So much 

gossip and innuendo has been levelled at Wallis Simpson that it 

has become nearly impossible to discern the real woman. Many 

have wondered why, when Edward could have had anyone he 

desired, he was smitten with this unusual American woman. As 

her friend Herman Rogers said to her in 1936 when news of her 

affair with Edward broke: ‘Much of what is being said concerns a 

woman who does not exist and never did exist.’ History is mostly 

perceived from the perspective of his-story. 

Keepers of History 

New Zealand Centenarians tell their stories. 

By renee Hollis 

From the everyday to the extraordinary, these are the stories of New 

Zealand centenarians who have lived through history. In 2017, 

Renee Hollis interviewed 120 people over the age of 100, living in 

every region of New Zealand. Along the way, she had the privilege 

of interviewing 23 World War II veterans. Her goal in compiling the 

book was to preserve New Zealand history by sharing the stories and 

memories of our eldest citizens. She wants all people to value the 

elderly and to read and appreciate their stories and contribution to 

our society. Most importantly, she wants to ensure that that they are not forgotten and do not become 

invisible in our communities, but instead are honoured and celebrated. In this collection of interviews, 

we meet opera singers and farmers, a politician and a racing car driver, a nun and a freedom fighter 

with Gandhi, and even a member of Hip Operation - the oldest hip-hop group in the world! They have 

witnessed momentous global events and technological innovations that have changed our world. 

Mutiny on the Bounty 

by Peter Fitzsimons 

The mutiny on HMS Bounty, in the South Pacific on 28 April 1789, 

is one of history’s truly great stories - a tale of human drama, 

intrigue and adventure of the highest order - and in the hands of 

Peter FitzSimons it comes to life as never before. Commissioned 

by the Royal Navy to collect breadfruit plants from Tahiti and take 

them to the West Indies, the Bounty’s crew found themselves in 

a tropical paradise. Five months later, they did not want to leave. 

Under the leadership of Fletcher Christian most of the crew mutinied 

soon after sailing from Tahiti, setting Captain William Bligh and 

18 loyal crewmen adrift in a small open boat. In one of history’s 

great feats of seamanship, Bligh navigated this tiny vessel for 3618 

nautical miles to Timor. Fletcher Christian and the mutineers sailed 

back to Tahiti, where most remained and were later tried for mutiny. 

But Christian, along with eight fellow mutineers and some Tahitian 

men and women, sailed off into the unknown, eventually discovering the isolated Pitcairn Island - at 

the time not even marked on British maps - and settling there. This astonishing story is historical 

adventure at its very best,encompassing the mutiny, Bligh’s monumental achievement in navigating to 

safety, and Fletcher Christian and the mutineers’ own epic journey from the sensual paradise of Tahiti 

to the outpost of Pitcairn Island.

Dog attack concerns in Southshore 


NOT ENOUGH is being 

done to prevent dog attacks 

in Southshore, says an ex-dog 

owner of 30 years. 

However, the city 

council’s head of regulatory 

compliance Tracey Weston says 

Southshore and other beach 

suburbs do not have a reputation 

for dog attacks and the city 

council’s current approach to dog 

control is working fine. 

But Southshore resident Bernie 

Calder claimed residents on 

his street have had their dogs 

attacked in the past. 

One neighbour’s terrier was 

even killed as a result of an 

attack, he said. 

“This vicious dog that had 

killed before somehow got out of 

the household and went straight 

over to this chap’s dog and 

started going at it. Fortunately, 

he managed to grab hold of it 

and took it back home. There 

was no further action against the 

owner.” 

At a Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board meeting last 

Monday, Mr Calder said the 

board should request the city 

council tighten its stance on dog 

control. 

“My view is that any dog which 

has attacked another dog should 

really be muzzled in public 

because they should be able to 

have their dog approach another 

one without it being killed.” 

Ms Weston said dog control 

already took this approach. 

“Dogs that are classified as 

‘menacing or dangerous’ are 

required to be muzzled while at 

large in a public place.” 

However, Mr Calder said in 

the cases he and his neighbours 

had been involved in, dog control 

only issued warnings to the 

owners of aggressive dogs. He 

said muzzling was not done often 

enough. 

However, Ms Weston said 

dog control takes all the steps 

necessary to prevent dog attacks. 

“Public safety is paramount in 

the functions we perform. We 

manage dog aggression on a 

case-by-case situation, where 

warnings are appropriate, 

we issue them, and where 

classification, based on 

evidence, it is appropriate we do 

that.” 

Southshore Residents 

Association chairwoman Lynda 

Burdekin, who has owned a 

dog, said from what she has 

seen, more muzzling of dogs is 

necessary. 

“In an area where there are lots 

of dogs, lots of families, young 

children who are not always 

terribly careful around dogs, you 

need to have good control and 

if you haven’t got a dog that you 

can rely on, it does need to be 

muzzled.” 

•From page 1 

Mr Sintes hopes these 

conversations will lead to action, 

but said he is disappointed it has 

taken so long for new signage to 

be seriously considered. 

Mr Sintes said if nothing is 

done to stop motor-cyclists 

riding through the areas “there’s 

going to be fisticuffs.” 

“There’s been a bit of an 

increase in it happening and 

it’s just a bit of a concern that 

residents might take things into 

their own hands and it might get 

out of control.” 

“It’s a very, very popular 

walkway and cycleway with 

families and, if you get a motor 

bike hooning down there, 

it’s very dangerous and then 

occasionally we get one hooning 

down to the estuary.” 

Said Mr Barr: “We are aware 

of the issue of motor-cyclists 

using walking tracks in the 

Southshore red zone and estuary 

area. We have had complaints 

about this in the past.” 

Mr Barr said LINZ has put 

measures in place to try and stop 

the problem, but they had not 

been effective. 

“There is signage in place that 

says no unauthorised access, and

Subdivision 

gets new 

reserves 


FOUR EMPTY plots of land in 

the Prestons subdivision will 

become recreation reserves. 

The Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board approved the proposal 

and the reserves’ names at 

a meeting last week. 

The decision means the 

reserves will now be maintained 

regularly by city council staff. 

It has previously not been 

responsible for the areas because 

unnamed reserves cannot be 

placed under the city council’s 

schedule of maintenance. 

The community board agreed 

the renaming was the best 

option for all involved because it 

means the reserves can now be 

easily located by residents and 

their use can be promoted by the 

city council. 

The reserves will receive their 

official names in the next month. 

The names are: 

1. Aopori Reserve (Prestons 

Park Drive) 

2. Arokehe Reserve (Avemore 

Drive) 

3. Kowaro Reserve (Prestons 

Park Drive) 

4. Mara Reserve (Katrine 

Drive) 

The city council also plans to 

extend Marshland Domain. 


WHEN CATHY Allden laid eyes 

on Richmond in 2007, she knew 

she was home. 

The British expat fell in love 

with New Zealand’s landscapes 

when she first visited in 2001. 

When she and her partner 

John Cleminson decided 

to start their house hunt in 

Christchurch, they quickly 

realised they loved no landscape 

more than the one around 

Richmond. 

“We really loved the river and 

we loved the proximity to the 

city and we didn’t look much 

further than within a 1km radius 

of the river.” 

After the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, the surroundings 

Miss Allden had grown so fond 

of all but disappeared. 

Her house was one of the few 

still habitable in her street, just 

five houses down from the red 

zone. 

The stress of the situation was 

added to Miss Allden’s attempts 

to have a child through IVF in 

2012, which eventually led to the 

birth of her son Jack in 2013. 

Seeing damage all around her, 

Miss Allden realised she wanted 

to do whatever she could to help 

Richmond recover. 

After quitting her job as a 

travel agent to become a fulltime 

mum, she decided to make

this her mission. It all started 

with a paddling pool. 

“Me and a couple of other 

mums put together a petition 

and went and did a deputation 

to the city council for the Long 

Term Plan to get the paddling 

pool at Avebury House fixed. 

That got approved.” 

Miss Allden said she got such 

a buzz out of making this project 

happen she became hungry to do 

more. 

“That was the catalyst really 

that started the momentum of 

a sense of empowerment that 

we could actually do more and 

engage more and take ownership 

of the post-earthquake recovery 

in Richmond.” 

She then decided to turn 

her attention to Richmond’s 

green spaces and became the 

co-founder of the Richmond 

Community Garden. 

The garden was started on the 

edge of the River Rd red zone in 

2017 and its contributors have 

since worked on a number of 

community planting and green 

space development projects with 

schools and other community 

organisations. 

Miss Allden said the space has 

helped connect the Richmond 

community. 

“We’re showing skills and 

growing food resilience and 

really working together as a 

village to support each other.” 

Call to put toilets near QE II hydrotherapy pool 


THE DISTANCE between the 

hydrotherapy pool and the toilets 

at Taiora: QE II Recreation and 

Sport Centre is causing pool 

users embarrassment. 

Parklands resident Aileen Trist 

said the hydrotherapy pool was 

most often used by people who 

need close access to the toilet and 

changing room facilities. 

However, the hydrotherapy 

pool is further away from the 

facilities than any other pool at 

the venue. 

“People that use the 

hydrotherapy pool use it because 

they have a disability, whether 

it’s a big one or a small one, they 

have mobility problems.” 

City council head of recreation, 

sports and events Nigel Cox said 

the hydrotherapy pool was 55m 

away. 

He said installing the pool 

any closer to the facilities had 

not been an option because the 

budget for it was a late addition. 

“The hydrotherapy pool was an 

addition to the original design 

and was included in April 2017 

after construction had already 

started.” 

Mrs Trist said her husband 

Tony has suffered two strokes 

and is paralysed down his left 

side. 

He was almost left 

embarrassed trying to get to the 

facilities during the couple’s last 

trip to QE II, she said. 

Mrs Trist wants three 

uni-sex toilet facilities to 

be installed closer to the 

hydrotherapy pool so others 

like her husband do not have to 

struggle in the future. 

She discussed this proposal in 

front of the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board at its meeting 

last week. 

The board requested the 

city council seek urgent advice 

on how the toilets could be 

added. 

Mr Cox said the city 

council was aware of Mrs 

Trist’s concerns, but there are 

currently no plans and no 

funding available to install more 

accessible toilets. 

Mrs Trist said it was not good 

enough. 

“I don’t want QE II known 

as the pool complex in 

Christchurch that’s always 

having code browns because 

we’re getting the highest 

number.”

No garden 

awards 

ceremony 


A CEREMONY for the 

Community Pride Garden 

Awards will not be held for the 

Coastal-Burwood Ward this 

year. 

It is the only ward in 

Christchurch which will not 

be hosting a ceremony for the 

awards. The Coastal-Burwood- 

Burwood Community Board 

decided at a meeting last week the 

$3000 cost of hosting the awards 

was out of its budget. 

Instead, the board will post 

out certificates to the ward’s 142 

award winners. 

Board member Linda Stewart 

opposed the decision. 

“I see it as a negative to not 

encourage the ward to be 

colourful and pretty again and 

pretty for everybody.” 

She said gardening is a way 

for many people to add some 

vibrancy to damaged streets 

and manage the stress which 

came with being surrounded by 

damage. 

All the other members of the 

board agreed that the Community 

Pride Garden Awards should be 

hosted once every two years to 

save money. 

Getting fighting fit for 

• By Jess Gibson 

AFTER A lifetime of low 

self-esteem and a fear of injuries, 

Jennine White felt unfit, 

vulnerable and afraid to work 

out. 

Now the 33-year-old 

performance reporting analyst 

will take part in the 6km 

City2Surf run on March 24 

feeling better than ever. 

Mrs White decided to focus on 

her health in November after a 

visit to her doctor to talk about 

a shoulder injury turned into a 

discussion about how her lack 

of fitness was affecting her wellbeing. 

Her doctor recommended 

the ‘green prescription’, a free 

programme which offers advice 

from a physical activity coach. 

She received a plan from her 

coach Olivia Maisey and gained 

the confidence to participate 

in the City2Surf after she was 

encouraged to see a personal 

trainer, get injury rehabilitation 

and see a life coach. 

Mrs White is now positive she 

can push herself to do the 6km 

event if she alternates between a 

brisk walk and a jog to take care 

of her injury. 

While she has finished with 

the green prescription, she 

said Miss Maisey has been like

her “cheerleader”. She said her 

personal trainer, life coach, 

family and friends have all helped 

her to stay motivated. 

“People like me need someone 

in our corner and someone to 

help us fight through to get a 

better lifestyle,” she said. 

Mrs White said she is focussed 

on her well-being rather 

than losing weight, and feels 

“amazing” because of it. 

“My mental health is so much 

better, I have reduced anxiety 

and sleep so well. I feel like I’m 

on another planet now,” said Mrs 

White. 

Miss Maisey said it was good to 

see how extra support can make a 

difference to someone’s lifestyle. 

“She’s gone from doing barely 

any exercise to absolutely 

smashing it,” said Miss Maisey. 

“She has done amazing.”

News 

• By Sophie Cornish 

ALAN HICKMAN was sick of 

constantly being woken up by the 

alarms going off at the fire station 

a couple of doors down from his 

house. 

So the then 27-year-old decided 

he might as well sign up for 

volunteer service at the old New 

Brighton Fire Station. 

Now at age 68, Mr Hickman 

will soon retire after more than 

41 years of fighting fires. 

Starting off as a volunteer in 

1977, Mr Hickman remained at 

his job as a property officer for 

the Education Department (now 

the Ministry of Education). 

In 1981, he began moving 

up the ranks as a volunteer, 

becoming a senior firefighter and 

then station officer in 1994. 

Then in 1999, Mr Hickman 

became the volunteer district 

support officer for the New 

Brighton station, in Hawke St, 

which was a paid role, while he 

also continued as a volunteer. 

He was joined by long-time 

friend Dave Chivers in the role. 

In 2008, he became deputy 

chief at the station. 

Then in 2012, he moved into 

the Christchurch City Fire 

Station metro area office, where 

he supported four brigades – 

New Brighton, Brooklands, 

Sumner and Lyttelton. 

It wasn’t until 2013 that he 

retired from being a volunteer 

and continued as a career staff 

member. 

“I decided that working 24 

hours a day was crazy.” 

He can still recall the first ever 

house fire he entered on New 

Brighton Rd and admits it was 

“pretty neat.” 

“I was fascinated by it, 

I didn’t know what to expect,” he 

said. 

“I managed to get a direct 

hit on the home’s power board 

with my hose. It exploded and 

there was a blinding blue flash. I 

thought, wow, this is what it is all 

about.” 

Ample training had prepared 

Mr Hickman for this moment, 

particularly the ‘safe person 

concept’. 

“You risk a little to save a lot. 

You don’t risk a lot to save a 

little.” 

Mr Hickman was buying 

lunch on Bower Ave when the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake 

hit. He raced back to the station 

and the crew “self-responded” 

and headed to North Beach Fish 

Supply, where the roof had caved 

in. 

The owner had got out alive, 

luckily. Little did Mr Hickman 

know, his home on Waitaki Ave, 

Bexley, had been destroyed by 

liquefaction and was structurally 

unsound. 

“It was stuffed. So my family 

and I moved into the station 

. . . it was fun, it was different, but 

we had things highly organised.” 

Mr Hickman slept on the 

floor in the storeroom of the 

station, which was running on 

a small amount of power from a 

generator and no water. 

The crew’s main jobs were to 

ensure buildings were made safe 

and chimneys were knocked 

down. The generosity of people 

during the time “amazed him.” 

“People would stop us 

everywhere just to give us food or 

baking.” 

While fighting fires, Mr 

Hickman has rescued numerous 

horses, cows, rabbits, cats and 

dogs and has seen some “pretty

“You just have to get on with it 

and deal with the job,” he said. 

During the devastating 2017 

Port Hills fires, Mr Hickman 

worked behind the scenes, 

ensuring all brigades were 

supported with the resources 

they needed. 

Mr Chivers and Mr Hickman 

became friends when they met 

as volunteers and have fought 

“thousands of fires since.” 

“At one point, we were 

attending more than 500 fires 

a year. I’ve made a lifetime of 

friends. I don’t want to mention 

any more names, I’ll miss

Players push for selection 

through early starts 

SPORT 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THREE 6.50AM training 

sessions a week have Shirley 

Boys’ High School in full 

swing ahead of this year’s UC 

Championship. 

Around 45 students are braving 

an early start to the day on 

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 

to push their case for selection 

in the first XV ahead of the 

season. 

“Everyone is playing other 

sports so if we want really 

good numbers. The only ones 

who can’t make it are our rowers. 

We have a really strong 

volleyball culture at school so 

we’d lose all of those players if 

we trained in the afternoon,” 

said Gibson. 

SBHS also announced openside 

flanker Kiarn Wilson as first 

XV captain at the beginning of 

the year, ahead of pre-season 

training which began in early 

February. 

“He stood up a lot last year 

and we gave it to him early 

because we wanted him to start 

thinking about who his vicecaptain 

will be and how he will 

lead the team,” said Gibson. 

“He’s had a couple of months 

in that role now and he’s grown 

more in that role than I thought 

was going to happen which is 

awesome. 

LEADER: New SBHS captain Kiarn Wilson makes a tackle on 

Lincoln’s Will Gaulter in last year’s UC Championship. 

SBHS will also break in their 

new ground at QE II this year 

when the UC Championship 

begins in early May. 

“It should be pretty good. I 

think the contractors that have 

put the field in have to keep it to 

a certain standard for a certain 

amount of years so the field 

should be kept in pretty good 

nick,” said Gibson. 

With three fields at the new 

school site, Gibson is also hopeful 

the first XV may have a 

dedicated field for training and 

matches. 

SBHS begin the UC 

Championship with a trip to 

Christ’s College on May 4. 

Their first match at their new 

home ground is against Lincoln 

Combined on May 11. 

RESULT: Ari Graham finished an impressive fourth in the under 

23 category at the OTU Sprint Triathlon Oceania Championship.

Graham fourth in Tasmania 

through strong bike leg 

SOUTHSHORE triathlete Ari 

Graham has finished fourth in 

the under-23 category at the 

OTU Sprint Triathlon Oceania 

Championship in Devonport, 

Tasmania. 

Graham, 19, also did enough 

to finish seventh overall in the 

elite women’s category when she 

finished in a time of 1hr 4min 

46sec. 

Graham was amongst the lead 

group after the opening 750m 

swim leg which she completed 

in 10min 25sec. An impressive 

20km bike leg which she completed 

in 33min 58sec saw Graham 

come into the transition 

with a 25sec buffer as she hit the 

pavement for the final 5km run. 

However, she was chased 

down by race winner Joanne 

Miller at the 2km mark. 

Graham finished the run 

in 19min 3sec to finish fourth 

behind fellow Kiwis Ainsley 

Thorpe and Nicole Van Der 

Kaay.
