Mr Koia, 33, runs Mo Town<br />
Barbers out of his garage. He<br />
has won two national barber<br />
championships in the last two<br />
years, with his most recent title<br />
coming at The Battle For Barber<br />
City nationals in Dunedin.<br />
Mr Koia brought home the<br />
barber fade and hair and beard<br />
titles and finished second in the<br />
freehand art attack discipline.<br />
The results meant he took out<br />
Linwood rallies<br />
to help<br />

the overall title. Armed with<br />
just a pair of scissors and a<br />

Debate<br />
over<br />
name for<br />
hot water<br />
pools<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
CHRISTCHURCH Hot Pools or<br />
New Brighton Hot Pools?<br />
These are the early options<br />
that have been suggested for the<br />
name of the hot pools, set to be<br />
completed in New Brighton early<br />
next year.<br />
<strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> spoke to key<br />
people to get their views on what<br />
it should be called.<br />
New Brighton Business<br />
and Landowners Association<br />
chairwoman Rebecca Tavete said<br />
Christchurch Hot Pools is the best<br />
option.<br />
Mrs Tavete said having<br />
Christchurch in the title will be<br />
more likely to draw people in<br />
from outside New Brighton.<br />
“Definitely talking about<br />
Christchurch will have a bigger<br />
reach,” she said.<br />
“It’s a celebration for<br />
Christchurch, really.<br />
“We’re in New Brighton, they<br />
are always going to have New<br />
Brighton attached to them, I just<br />
don’t know if it’s necessary that<br />
we need to call them that.”<br />

DEBATE OVER the name for the salt<br />
water pools is heating up – and so it should<br />
be (see page 1).<br />
Christchurch Hot Pools, New Brighton<br />
Hot Pools or maybe something else?<br />
David East and Rebecca Tavete are<br />
angling towards Christchurch. They say it will give the pools<br />
more marketing depth as an attraction for out-of-towners. And<br />
there is much merit in that.<br />
Says Tavete: “It’s a celebration for Christchurch. We’re in New<br />
Brighton, they are always going to have New Brighton attached<br />
to them.”<br />
Others don’t like it at all and say the pools should reflect New<br />
Brighton – and there are some who don’t want either.<br />
Put it out to the public to have a big say in the final decision.<br />

CDHB pushing clinics to offer discount<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
THE CANTERBURY District<br />
Health Board is driving a push<br />
to get four medical clinics to<br />
take part in a Government<br />
policy to offer low-cost health<br />
care.<br />
New Brighton Health<br />
Care, Travis Medical Centre,<br />
Marshlands<br />
Family Health<br />
Centre and<br />
Woodham Road<br />
Medical are the<br />
last clinics in<br />
the east to not<br />
Carolyn<br />
Gullery<br />
offer community<br />
services card<br />
discounts.<br />
From July 1, the clinics<br />
will get another chance to<br />
do so. However, Tāmaki<br />
Health, which owns New<br />
Brighton Health Care, won’t<br />
change its original decision<br />
to not offer community<br />
services card discounts at this<br />
stage.<br />
Said Tāmaki Health chief<br />
operating officer Steffan<br />
Crausaz: “There is no update or<br />
change from our earlier position<br />
that New Brighton Health Care<br />
has decided to remain outside<br />
of the new funding regime<br />
for community services cardholders.”<br />
Canterbury District Health<br />
Board executive director of<br />
planning, funding and decision<br />
support, Carolyn Gullery, said it<br />
was time New Brighton Health<br />
Care and the other remaining<br />
clinics offered the discount.<br />
Marshlands Family Health<br />
Care practice manager Anna<br />
Brown said its decision to<br />
not offer community services<br />
discounts was “constantly being<br />
reviewed.”<br />
Woodham Road Medical and<br />
Travis Medical Centre managers<br />
were not available for comment.<br />
Ms Gullery said the CDHB<br />
has been working with these<br />
clinics and others across<br />
HIGH<br />
COST: New<br />
Brighton<br />
Health<br />
Care is<br />
one of four<br />
medical<br />
centres<br />
in the<br />
east that<br />
doesn’t<br />
offer<br />
community<br />
services<br />
card<br />
discounts.<br />
Canterbury to explain the<br />
benefits of the low-cost scheme<br />
for general practices and their<br />
patients, but not all clinics saw it<br />
as a feasible option.<br />
“Some practices, particularly<br />
those already struggling to<br />
meet patient demand, have<br />
been concerned about how they<br />
would cope with more visits<br />
from people with a community<br />
services card.”<br />
Ms Gullery said the CDHB<br />
would provide financial support<br />
to soften the impact.<br />
“Practices offering low-cost<br />
care receive additional funding<br />
from the CDHB to compensate<br />
for the reduced income from<br />
patient fees. We’re very hopeful<br />
that some of the remaining<br />
practices will see their way clear<br />
to begin offering low-cost visits<br />
to people with a community<br />
services card at the next<br />
opportunity.”<br />
Currently, 100 Canterbury<br />
clinics have opted into the policy<br />
to provide the discounts.<br />
At clinics offering the<br />
discounted, it costs $18.50 or less<br />
per visit for adult community<br />
services card-holders and $12.50<br />
for children aged between 14<br />
and 17. This saves card-holders<br />
about $30 per visit.<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board deputy chairman Tim<br />
Sintes said Tāmaki Health’s<br />
stance is simply not good<br />
enough.<br />
“When I hear people can’t<br />
afford to go to the doctor’s<br />
and they need to go to the<br />
doctor’s, it’s shocking, absolutely<br />
shocking.”<br />
Eastcare Health, Linwood<br />
Medical, Parklands Medical,<br />
Piki Te Ora, QE II Medical,<br />
Queenspark Healthcare,<br />
Shirley Medical and Te<br />
Rawhiti Family Care make up<br />
the rest of the clinics in the<br />
east and all have opted into<br />
the Government’s low-cost<br />
health care policy since it was<br />
introduced.<br />

Successful barbershop<br />
run out of Aranui garage<br />
•From page 1<br />
Mr Koia said his young<br />
children Phoenix, 9, and<br />
Jeremiah, 2, and wife Nikkita are<br />
the driving forces behind his hard<br />
work and dedication to his craft.<br />
“I’ve got a mortgage to pay for,<br />
I work from home and it’s my<br />
own business. That in itself is the<br />
biggest motivator.”<br />
His work has also seen him<br />
give back to the community,<br />
most recently teaming up with<br />
My Fathers Barbers to raise<br />
$3000 for the mosque shooting<br />
victims and their families<br />
and providing free haircuts<br />
for Christchurch’s homeless<br />
population in the past.<br />
Mr Koia said he also gets a kick<br />
out of adding some style to the<br />
lives of community members in<br />
the east, where he has lived and<br />
worked for nine years.<br />
“I get guys from down the<br />
street and my neighbours. They<br />
love having a barber so close.<br />
They don’t have to go into the<br />
city or drive somewhere far away<br />
to get a good haircut, it’s right<br />
there.”<br />
The former furniture remover<br />
said his growing passion for his<br />
work means there is no way he<br />
would ever consider changing<br />
jobs again.<br />
CUT ABOVE: Luke Koia<br />
dominated The Battle For<br />
Barber City nationals, winning<br />
several individual awards and<br />
the overall title.<br />
“I’m just going to make this<br />
work and I’m making a career out<br />
of this thing no matter what.”<br />
With another child on the<br />
way, Mr Koia is determined to<br />
continue developing as a barber<br />
and plans to expand his business.<br />
“I’m just so hungry to keep<br />
getting better because there’s<br />
nothing else, I don’t have plans to<br />
do anything else. This is me until<br />
I’m done,” he said.<br />
•From page 1<br />
Bin Inn New Brighton owner<br />
Nikki Griffin said she didn’t<br />
support either name and wants<br />
the community to have a say on<br />
a completely different name.<br />
“It would be nice to have<br />
a consultation with the<br />
community, I think that both<br />
names sound boring.”<br />
“This is a legacy project and I<br />
don’t think any of<br />
those names suit a<br />
legacy project.”<br />
DCL chief<br />
executive Rob Hall<br />
said it is using<br />
Christchurch Hot<br />
Pools as a working<br />
title at this stage<br />
but it is open to<br />
the kind of public consultation<br />
Ms Griffin suggested.<br />
“That’s something we need<br />
to think through a bit more. At<br />
the moment, we’ve settled on<br />
Christchurch Hot Pools, but that<br />
will be undertaken over the next<br />
few months.”<br />
South New Brighton<br />
resident Soozie Bragg said<br />
there is only one option in her<br />
opinion.<br />
“It has to be New Brighton<br />
Hot Pools because, after all,<br />
that’s where it is.”<br />
“It’s New Brighton that’s been<br />
pushing for this for close to 50<br />
years.” She said giving the pools<br />
this name would be the best way<br />
to put New Brighton on the map<br />
again and encourage outsiders<br />
to visit.<br />
However, Coastal Ward<br />
city councillor David East<br />
agreed with Mrs Tavete, saying<br />
Christchurch Hot Pools would<br />
simply have more city-wide,<br />
national and international<br />
appeal.<br />

Champion Centre ‘lifesaver’ for family<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
IN THE weeks and months<br />
after her son Blake was born, the<br />
Champion Centre at Burwood<br />
Hospital was a lifesaver for Susie<br />
Chisnall and her family.<br />
Five-year-old Blake Chisnall<br />
has Down’s syndrome and has<br />
been going to sessions at the<br />
centre since he was just a few<br />
weeks old. Staff encouraged and<br />
supported him as he learned to<br />
crawl, walk and talk.<br />
Now, Ms Chisnall, of St Albans,<br />
has given back to the centre.<br />
She raised $4890 at a high tea<br />
and charity auction event at the<br />
hairdressing and beauty salon<br />
she co-owns, Salon Parlour on<br />
Cranford St, St Albans.<br />
The Champion Centre is a<br />
not-for-profit organisation that<br />
provides early intervention services<br />
to infants and children with<br />
significant developmental delays<br />
and disabilities.<br />

The school is taking part<br />
in the Children’s University<br />
programme, a joint project<br />
with Lincoln and Canterbury<br />
universities to start getting<br />
pupils thinking about their<br />
academic futures from an early<br />
age.<br />
Lincoln University Children’s<br />
University project manager<br />
Jennie Nicholson said 24<br />
pupils from Bromley School<br />
will engage in a range of extracurricular<br />
activities, including<br />
sports, on-campus experiences<br />
and trips to public learning<br />
destinations.<br />
Each pupil will document<br />
the activities and the different<br />
were some of the prizes which<br />
were auctioned off.<br />
Ms Chisnall said the staff at the<br />
centre, including occupational<br />
therapists, physiotherapists,<br />
locations they complete them at<br />
in a learning passport.<br />
The passports were handed<br />
out by Ms Nicholson at<br />
Bromley School on Thursday<br />
and will be completed by pupils<br />
over the next seven months.<br />
Once they have completed 30<br />
hours of activities outlined in<br />
the passports, the pupils will<br />
be invited to dress up in full<br />
cap and gown for a graduation<br />
ceremony at the town hall on<br />
November 20.<br />
Ms Nicholson said Bromley<br />
School, along with Te Pā<br />
o Rākaihautū, Ladbrooks<br />
and Prebbleton schools, will<br />
take part in the Children’s<br />
University programme.<br />
Bromley School junior team<br />
leader Lindi Newth said it is<br />
a huge opportunity for the<br />
social workers, and speech and<br />
language therapists are incredible.<br />
“At a time when you are really<br />
struggling to come to grips with<br />
school. “It’s a low decile school,<br />
a lot of our children don’t<br />
know that university exists,<br />
so we’re trying to make sure<br />
our children have as many<br />
opportunities as possible to<br />
succeed in learning.”<br />
Ms Nicholson said 15,000<br />
school pupils in Australia<br />
currently participate in the<br />
programme and it has been so<br />
successful there is a waiting list<br />
for schools which want to join.<br />
She hopes the programme<br />
will do great things for<br />
Bromley’s pupils.<br />
“The programme aims<br />
to raise aspirations for<br />
higher education, but more<br />
importantly, it helps to install a<br />
love of learning and show that<br />
learning is everywhere and it<br />
is fun.”<br />
SUPPORT:<br />
Susie Chisnall<br />
raised almost<br />
$5000 for the<br />
Champion<br />
Centre after<br />
it helped her<br />
and her son<br />
Blake (inset).<br />
all of the challenges you’re facing<br />
as a parent of a child with extra<br />
needs they are the people who<br />
give you information, support<br />
and just all around kindness and<br />
compassion,” she said.<br />
The Champion Centre opened<br />
in 1977 and is based on the belief<br />
that every child, regardless of<br />
physical, mental, or social capacity,<br />
has the right to be educated,<br />
to learn, grow, contribute, and to<br />
reach their individual potential.<br />
Play specialist Emma Chilvers<br />
has worked with Blake for two<br />
years and said he has been “delightful.”<br />
“[The donation] is overwhelming.<br />
What it says to us is that<br />
she appreciates what the centre<br />
stands for and the importance<br />
of early intervention,” said Mrs<br />
Chilvers.<br />
Grants and fundraising<br />
coordinator Karon Storr said<br />
that parents are “definitely<br />
the best ambassadors for the<br />
centre.”<br />
The Champion Centre has<br />
supported more than 2000<br />
families in Canterbury and is<br />
currently working with more<br />
than 165 children.<br />
However, less than 60 per cent<br />
of its services are funded through<br />
Government agencies.<br />

Proposal for new community hub in the east<br />
Linda Stewart<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
A PROPOSAL for a new community<br />
hub for residents in Burwood,<br />
Avondale and Dallington will be<br />
brought before the city council.<br />
The Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board will make this<br />
submission to the <strong>2019</strong>-2020 draft<br />
Annual Plan.<br />
Board member Linda Stewart<br />
said research carried out by social<br />
researcher Sarah Wylie and an initial<br />
feasibility study completed by Global<br />
Leisure Group highlighted the need<br />
for such a facility.<br />
She said the research revealed the<br />
massive loss of infrastructure that<br />
these three areas faced had negatively<br />
impacted mental health in the three<br />
areas.<br />
“We’ve got well-being issues and<br />
social isolation.”<br />
The board’s chairwoman, Kim<br />
Money, agreed.<br />
“Eight years down the track we’re<br />
just seeing far too much anxiety and<br />
depression and suicide,” she said.<br />
“These gathering spaces<br />
really help communities connect<br />
and just help with the belonging<br />
in a community . . . so it is essential.”<br />
Mrs Stewart said she wants a<br />
community hub to be built right in<br />
the middle of the three communities<br />
to bring them together and help<br />
address these issues.<br />
Mrs Stewart said she estimated the<br />
construction of a community hub<br />
would cost between $5 million and<br />
$6 million and the board is currently<br />
in discussions about the best way to<br />
fund this.<br />
Ms Money said the board hopes<br />
the project will be green-lighted<br />
as soon as possible, but realistically<br />
she is pushing for it to be included<br />
within the city council’s next Long<br />
Term Plan.<br />

HARCOURTS GOLD OFFICE MANAGER PARKLANDS AND NEW BRIGHTON<br />
ROBUST START TO<br />
THE NEW YEAR!<br />
With one of our busiest times of the year now upon us,<br />
our offices at Parklands and New Brighton have hit the<br />
ground running during the first quarter, working with a<br />
wide catalogue of available homes, in all price brackets<br />
right across the city. Good open home attendance, and<br />
online enquiry has produced positive activity, and the<br />
volume of listings coming into Harcourts throughout<br />
the city continues to indicate that we are still the most<br />
preferred company in Christchurch.<br />
It’s worth noting that the Reserve Bank’s reduced LVR<br />
restrictions came into effect from 1 January. This means<br />
that banks will now lend 20 per cent of their new loans<br />
to owner-occupiers who have a deposit of less than 20<br />
per cent of a purchase price – up from 15 per cent of new<br />
lending. The required minimum deposit for investors<br />
has now dropped to 30% from 35%. Subsequently,<br />
it’s foreseeable that these changes will bring a new<br />
batch of buyers into the housing market. In our local<br />
neighbourhood, it has also been pleasing to witness an<br />
increase in active first home buyers looking to get on<br />
the property ladder.<br />
Whilst I will always advocate an optimistic outlook,<br />
my message for those looking to sell, BE selective and<br />
BE sensible. Choose your sales consultant wisely and<br />
be sensible with price expectations if your home sits<br />
outside what we refer to as the market’s ‘sweet spots’,<br />
or there is an oversupply of available property in your<br />
neighbourhood.<br />
NEW DEVELOPMENTS CREATING<br />
OPPORTUNITES.<br />
It is no secret that the new developments in our eastern<br />
suburbs have sparked conversation and heightened<br />
interest in our local community over the past few years,<br />
and in particular, it’s been incredibly exciting to watch the<br />
final stages of the ‘two schools on one campus’ (Avonside<br />
Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High Schools) take their form. Due<br />
to open the beginning of Term 2, this brand new, state<br />
of the art campus, is going to be a crucial asset for the<br />
east of Christchurch and will become a main contributor<br />
determining the real estate market locally.<br />

CHOOSE THE HARCOURTS GOLD<br />
TEAM FOR 'AS IS' SALES!<br />
With over 400 ‘As Is’ sales under our belt, and more in the<br />
pipeline, we are still frequently asked to sell damaged,<br />
and/or problematic, homes right across the city. We<br />
absolutely believe we have the most experience and<br />
know-how to get the job done, a tried and true marketing<br />
template, and an extensive online database of buyers<br />
ready to purchase.<br />
Our eastside offices in particular, have acted as a beacon<br />

real estate matters.<br />

active mentoring programme. Our eastside offices based<br />
at Parklands and New Brighton are very much community<br />
based, and our agents of varied experience, share the<br />

WITH MARY IN FAITH<br />
TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA<br />
A NEW MARIAN COLLEGE FOR 2023<br />
MESSAGE FROM<br />
THE BOARD<br />
The Marian College Board is pleased<br />
to share the Bishop’s decision to<br />
relocate Marian College to north west<br />
Christchurch on a three hectare site.<br />
Our new College will neighbour St<br />
Joseph’s Primary School on land<br />
bordered by Vagues Road, Main North<br />
Road and Northcote Road, with the main<br />
entrance off Lydia Street.<br />
The new school is projected to cost in<br />
excess of $20 million and students are<br />
expected to start in February 2023.<br />
The Bishop said finding a new home for<br />
Marian College has always been one of<br />
his main priorities. The purchase of the<br />
former Foodstuffs warehouse property on<br />
Northcote Road has made this possible.<br />
He indicated scoping and design work<br />
will begin ready for when possession of<br />
the land takes place in <strong>April</strong> 2021.<br />
The news is exciting and very positive<br />
for Marian College and the changes are<br />
going to further strengthen and grow our<br />
Catholic community.<br />
Thank you to the Bishop on behalf of<br />
Marian College for his commitment to<br />
our future, and to the Catholic Diocese<br />
of Christchurch for its steady support<br />
over the years.<br />
The Catholic Bishop of Christchurch, Paul<br />
Martin and Marian College Principal Mary-<br />
Lou Davidson visiting Marian College’s<br />
new Papanui site.<br />
Thank you also to our school community<br />
for your loyalty and patience and to all<br />
the schools, businesses and communities<br />
who have supported Marian since the<br />
earthquakes. It means a lot to us.<br />
We look forward to the challenges the<br />
next four years bring us and to having<br />
closer working relationships with St<br />
Joseph’s School Papanui and our brother<br />
school St Bede’s College.<br />
Tātou ko Mere e whakapono ana<br />
With Mary in faith<br />
Jan Paterson<br />
Marian College Board of Trustees Chair<br />
SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED<br />
What will the new school look like?<br />
It is too early to say just yet. What we do know is that we intend to ensure the Catholic<br />
special character, values, heritage and story of Marian is incorporated and reflected in our<br />
new school’s grounds and buildings. While we are fortunate to be getting a new school –<br />
the heart of Marian College will remain the same.<br />
Our new Forde Block (Social Sciences and Careers), which opened at the beginning<br />
of this year, combines the best of traditional and open-plan classroom settings within a<br />
multi-functional and sound-proof learning environment. So far, the feedback from students<br />
and teachers has been positive, so it’s likely our new school will have similarly designed<br />
classrooms.<br />
Will there be opportunities for input into the new school?<br />
Yes. We will be engaging with our school community and gathering ideas in coming<br />
months.<br />
Why is it taking until 2023 to get a new school?<br />
The newly purchased site is currently tenanted and the lease expires in 2021. The Catholic<br />
Diocese of Christchurch will then take possession of the land. In the meantime, there will<br />
be valuable time for consultation, scoping and design work, before construction starts.<br />
Will travel to and from the new school be more difficult?<br />
Our new site is conveniently located on main arterial roads including QEII Drive and the<br />
ring road to Eastern and seaside suburbs, Main North Road through to North Canterbury<br />
as well as the Orbiter bus route. Connecting cycleways include the Papanui Parallel<br />
Cycleway, Northern Line Cycleway and QEII Shared Cycleway.<br />
By the time our new school is ready, the Christchurch Northern Corridor will be open. It is<br />
expected this road will significantly reduce traffic volumes on Main North Road – by up to<br />
50 per cent. It will also create an opportunity for the city council to make changes to Main<br />
North Road resulting in improved public transport journey times.<br />
Access to transport is an important part of our planning. We are confident that our families<br />
will have suitable transport options for students travelling from more than 30 of our feeder<br />
primary schools - families living in Central and East Christchurch, the seaside suburbs and<br />
North Canterbury.<br />
My daughter is currently a senior student at Marian – will she feel left out?<br />
A wonderful aspect of Marian College is how supportive and understanding our school<br />
community is through periods of change. We often say: “once a Marian girl, always a<br />
Marian girl”. Marian College will be making every effort to include all students in the<br />
shaping of our new school - regardless of whether they will be attending. We are asking<br />
past students and staff of Marian College and also our founding schools St Mary’s College<br />
(Christchurch) and McKillop College, to provide valuable input into what the new school<br />
will look like.<br />

Pupils design play area<br />
to revitalise red zone<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
A NEW natural play area<br />
designed by Banks Avenue<br />
School pupils will be constructed<br />
by the end of term four.<br />
The development, which pupils<br />
have named Adventure Ave, will<br />
sit between Woodchester Ave<br />
and Tilia Lane at the Richmond<br />
end of the Avon River.<br />
The play area will include a<br />
number of features, which will<br />
allow users to run, jump, climb<br />
and use their imagination.<br />
Planning for Adventure<br />
Ave is in the final stage, with<br />
construction set to start after<br />
the pupils pitch their idea to<br />
neighbours in the area and a<br />
decision is made on how the<br />
project will be funded.<br />
The project is a collaboration<br />
between Banks Avenue School<br />
and the Avon-Ōtākaro Network<br />
as part of its Riverlution project<br />
to revitalise the red zone<br />
surrounding the Avon River.<br />
Avon-Ōtākaro Network<br />
Education adviser Sian Carvell<br />
said the pupils decided it should<br />
be as environmentally-friendly<br />
and safe as possible and blend<br />
into the natural environment.<br />
“Most people, when they think<br />
playground, they think swings<br />
and slides and towers . . . but this<br />
is a lot more innovative. As the<br />
kids said, they wanted it to be<br />

environmental, have huts, be fun<br />
with a mix of activities . . . have<br />
water, have no plastic, be reusable<br />
and have art in the design.”<br />
Ms Carvell said the pupils are<br />
been “very excited about being<br />
involved in the planning and<br />
decision-making around the project<br />
and having their ideas heard<br />
and taken seriously.”<br />
<strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> reported last<br />
month that a number of Banks<br />
Avenue school pupils have shown<br />
signs of post-traumatic stress<br />
disorder as a result of the earthquakes.<br />
Ms Carvell said allowing the<br />
school’s pupils to contribute to<br />
the regeneration of the Avon<br />
River Corridor through this project<br />
would help them and others<br />
in the community recover.<br />
“It’s about reconnecting back<br />
to the land that caused a lot of<br />
trauma in their lives. It’s shown<br />
that that connection with nature<br />
is a really big aspect for healing<br />
and well-being, not just for kids,<br />
but for adults as well.”<br />
Planning for Adventure Ave is<br />
in its last stage, with construction<br />
set to begin after pupils pitch<br />

Absent: Whetu<br />
Beattie.<br />
SBHS students prepare for<br />
cultural exchange in Japan<br />
a cultural and educational<br />
component to it. Students will<br />
be involved in research of a<br />
particular theme, which in <strong>2019</strong><br />
is reducing man-made waste<br />
and pollution. The event will<br />
finish with students developing<br />
ideas from the different<br />
research they have done,” he<br />
said. “The students will then be<br />
expected to put in place a plan<br />
to implement this at their own<br />
school.”<br />
“The five boys involved<br />
from Shirley Boys are staying<br />
in Nagoya, a city of over<br />
two million people. They<br />
will have the opportunity<br />
to visit the former imperial<br />
capital of Japan, Kyoto, and<br />
do volunteering at Fuji Mae<br />
wetlands.”<br />
The other schools groups<br />
attending will be from<br />
Melbourne and China.<br />

Arawa girls dominate junior NZ squad<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
ARAWA CANOE Club kayakers<br />
will make up the entire New<br />
Zealand female junior squad at<br />
the world junior championships<br />
in Romania in August.<br />
Last week Canoe Racing New<br />
Zealand announced that Arawa<br />
members Olivia Brett, Pieta Luthi,<br />
Tilly Pritchard, Jess Nisbett<br />
and Cass Hetherington will<br />
make up the five-strong junior<br />
women’s squad.<br />
“We’re wrapped. It’s a culmination<br />
of a lot of hard work from<br />
these kids and their coach Paul<br />
Fidow,” said Arawa president<br />
Stuart Clark.<br />
“They’re training nine or more<br />
times a week with five or six of<br />
those being at six o’clock in the<br />
morning in the gym and on the<br />
river. The Avon River is not the<br />
most pleasant place to be at that<br />
time of the day sometimes.”<br />
Brett will compete in the K1<br />
200 and will team up with Luthi<br />
in the K2 500. Luthi, Pritchard,<br />
Lisbett and Hetherington will<br />
make up the K4 500. Pritchard<br />
is also being considered for the<br />
K1 500.<br />
In February the girls dominated<br />
the under-18 division at<br />
the national championships<br />
which helped Arawa claim the<br />
top club honours. Brett was the<br />
most dominant athlete at the<br />
championships winning 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 />
INTERNATIONAL STAGE: Olivia Brett and Pieta Luthi will make up the New Zealand under-18 girls K2 boat at the junior world<br />
championships in Romania. Right – Arawa’s under-18 K4 women’s teams won both the K4 200 and 500 at nationals in February and<br />
will make up the New Zealand under-18 K4 squad. <br />
under-18 K4 500.<br />
The girls are currently<br />
preparing for the Asia Pacific<br />
Cup on Lake Karapiro in<br />
Cambridge in May which is a<br />
tri-series between NZ Australia<br />
and Japan. The regatta will be<br />
used as their last competitive<br />
SPORT<br />
racing before heading to<br />
Europe for the world junior<br />
championships.<br />
Ben Duffy has also been<br />
selected for the same event in<br />
Romania where he will be racing<br />
in the under-23 men’s K4. Ben is<br />
now based in Cambridge where<br />
he trains with the national men’s<br />
squad, but remains a staunch<br />
Cantabrian and member of the<br />
Arawa club.<br />
Arawa were also acknowledged<br />
for their accomplishments at<br />
national and international<br />
level by being finalist for the<br />
club of the year award at the<br />
recent Canterbury Sports<br />
Awards. •More sport, page 16<br />

DYNAMIC DUO: Maddy Thornton and Sally Wylaars (left) rowed to silver<br />

Avonside rower’s big break after Maadi Cup<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
A STRONG showing at the<br />
Maadi Cup regatta has seen<br />
Avonside Girls’ High School<br />
student Sally Wylaars named as<br />
a New Zealand junior trialist.<br />
Wylaars will head to the trial<br />
at Lake Karapiro, which takes<br />
place from Sunday to <strong>April</strong> 20.<br />
The aim of the junior trials<br />
is to select crews to represent<br />
New Zealand at the junior world<br />
rowing championships in Tokyo,<br />
Japan, from August 7-11.<br />
Her selection came after Maadi<br />
Cup, in which she won a silver<br />
medal in the girls under-18<br />
double sculls.<br />
Wylaars and Maddy<br />
Thornton were the quickest in<br />
their heat and quarter-final early<br />
in the regatta. They booked a<br />
spot in the A final by finishing<br />
second in their semi-final –<br />
6sec behind Tauranga Girls’<br />
College.<br />
In the final, Wylaars and<br />
Thornton were in contention<br />
for the win, but settled for a<br />
SPORT<br />
more than respectable second,<br />
finishing in 7min 27.51sec,<br />
behind the winners from St<br />
Peter’s School who won in 7min<br />
25.12sec. The bronze went to St<br />
Hilda’s Collegiate.<br />
Wylaars also narrowly missed<br />
out on making the A final in<br />
the girls under-18 single sculls.<br />
However, she won the B final in<br />
commanding fashion.<br />
Her time of 8min 9.05sec was<br />
more than 10sec ahead of her<br />
nearest rival and would have<br />
been good enough to finish fifth<br />
in the A final.<br />
Avonside Girls’ High also took<br />
silver in the girls under-18 novice<br />
coxed quadruple sculls.<br />
After winning their heat and<br />
quarter-final, Aria Johnston,<br />
Aaliyah Kerry, Stella Cook, Ash<br />
Fleming and coxswain Isabella<br />
Sherburd qualified for the final<br />
by finishing second in the semifinal.<br />
In the final they finished<br />
just over 2sec behind winners<br />
Mt Aspiring College in 7min<br />
40.05sec. Avonside Girls’ High<br />
were also represented in the A<br />
final of the girls under-15 coxed<br />
quadruple sculls.<br />
The crew of Aria Johnston,<br />
Stella Cook, Ash Fleming, Molly<br />
Edwards and coxswain Isabella<br />
Sherburd finished sixth in the<br />
final – 13sec behind winners<br />
Dunstan High School.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />
on Hawke St<br />
car park<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 February 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 />
council.”<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<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 February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 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 February 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 />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes to own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />
traders acro s the districts could<br />
be l oming.<br />
However, the public has li tle<br />
interest in having input into the<br />
i sue.<br />
Only eight submi sions were<br />
received for a potential bylaw<br />
aimed at regulating commercial<br />
activities in public places.<br />
The district council wi l be<br />
holding a hearing for the Public<br />
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />
Activities and Events in<br />
Public Places.<br />
A hearing i scheduled to be<br />
held on Thursday.<br />
The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />
number of mobile traders<br />
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,<br />
especia ly during the summer<br />
months.<br />
In the past year, the district<br />
council has received five inquiries<br />
about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />
on private or public land.<br />
A report said there are two<br />
str et operators in Darfield, a<br />
coff e cart is parked beside the<br />
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za<br />
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en<br />
September-May along with a Thai<br />

Pupils learn about role of war horses<br />
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils<br />
have taken a step back in time,<br />
s eing first hand what men and<br />
horses l oked like during war.<br />
The New Zealand Mounted<br />
Rifles Charitable Trust president<br />
Mark A pleton and member<br />
Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />
horses to the sch ol on Monday,<br />
in a bid to educate pupils on the<br />
sacrifice their ancestors made in<br />
World War 1 and World War 2.<br />
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson<br />
a rived a the sch ol dre sed<br />
in World War 1 uniforms while<br />
their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />
to the trust.<br />
The presentation is a prelude<br />
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />
Management Commi t e’s<br />
upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />
As a tribute to those who<br />
served, members of the trust wi l<br />
ride horseback to the service.<br />
Mr A pleton said it was<br />
important children were<br />
educated on what soldiers<br />
wen through during World<br />
War 1 and World War 2.<br />
But he said the presentation<br />
didn’t go into t o much detail<br />
and was more of a “show and<br />
te l” to make them aware of what<br />
the soldiers l oked like.<br />
Children were shown the type<br />
of kits horses were required to<br />
wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />
since the age of 19.<br />

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-<br />
Ri carton Community Board<br />
has b en given the gr en ligh to<br />
o pose the pla ned qua ry near<br />
Templeton.<br />
Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />
board on Thursday it had the okay<br />
from the city council to make a<br />
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />
for a resource consen to create a<br />
qua ry.<br />
Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
told Western News the submi sion<br />
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />
plan.<br />
“You can just about guarant e<br />
it . because we [the community<br />
board] don’t believe qua ries<br />
should be so close to residential<br />
areas,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />
board’ submi sion.<br />
“I’d like to think so because the<br />
city council has had their eyes<br />
open as we l ove recent years over<br />
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board wi l be “representing and<br />
advocating” for the Templeton<br />
community.<br />
