Debate 

over 

name for 

hot water 

pools 


CHRISTCHURCH Hot Pools or 

New Brighton Hot Pools? 

These are the early options 

that have been suggested for the 

name of the hot pools, set to be 

completed in New Brighton early 

next year. 

Pegasus Post spoke to key 

people to get their views on what 

it should be called. 

New Brighton Business 

and Landowners Association 

chairwoman Rebecca Tavete said 

Christchurch Hot Pools is the best 

option. 

Mrs Tavete said having 

Christchurch in the title will be 

more likely to draw people in 

from outside New Brighton. 

“Definitely talking about 

Christchurch will have a bigger 

reach,” she said. 

“It’s a celebration for 

Christchurch, really. 

“We’re in New Brighton, they 

are always going to have New 

Brighton attached to them, I just 

don’t know if it’s necessary that 

we need to call them that.”

DEBATE OVER the name for the salt 

water pools is heating up – and so it should 

be (see page 1). 

Christchurch Hot Pools, New Brighton 

Hot Pools or maybe something else? 

David East and Rebecca Tavete are 

angling towards Christchurch. They say it will give the pools 

more marketing depth as an attraction for out-of-towners. And 

there is much merit in that. 

Says Tavete: “It’s a celebration for Christchurch. We’re in New 

Brighton, they are always going to have New Brighton attached 

to them.” 

Others don’t like it at all and say the pools should reflect New 

Brighton – and there are some who don’t want either. 

Put it out to the public to have a big say in the final decision.

CDHB pushing clinics to offer discount 


THE CANTERBURY District 

Health Board is driving a push 

to get four medical clinics to 

take part in a Government 

policy to offer low-cost health 

care. 

New Brighton Health 

Care, Travis Medical Centre, 

Marshlands 

Family Health 

Centre and 

Woodham Road 

Medical are the 

last clinics in 

the east to not 

Carolyn 

Gullery 

offer community 

services card 

discounts. 

From July 1, the clinics 

will get another chance to 

do so. However, Tāmaki 

Health, which owns New 

Brighton Health Care, won’t 

change its original decision 

to not offer community 

services card discounts at this 

stage. 

Said Tāmaki Health chief 

operating officer Steffan 

Crausaz: “There is no update or 

change from our earlier position 

that New Brighton Health Care 

has decided to remain outside 

of the new funding regime 

for community services cardholders.” 

Canterbury District Health 

Board executive director of 

planning, funding and decision 

support, Carolyn Gullery, said it 

was time New Brighton Health 

Care and the other remaining 

clinics offered the discount. 

Marshlands Family Health 

Care practice manager Anna 

Brown said its decision to 

not offer community services 

discounts was “constantly being 

reviewed.” 

Woodham Road Medical and 

Travis Medical Centre managers 

were not available for comment. 

Ms Gullery said the CDHB 

has been working with these 

clinics and others across 

HIGH 

COST: New 

Brighton 

Health 

Care is 

one of four 

medical 

centres 

in the 

east that 

doesn’t 

offer 

community 

services 

card 

discounts. 

Canterbury to explain the 

benefits of the low-cost scheme 

for general practices and their 

patients, but not all clinics saw it 

as a feasible option. 

“Some practices, particularly 

those already struggling to 

meet patient demand, have 

been concerned about how they 

would cope with more visits 

from people with a community 

services card.” 

Ms Gullery said the CDHB 

would provide financial support 

to soften the impact. 

“Practices offering low-cost 

care receive additional funding 

from the CDHB to compensate 

for the reduced income from 

patient fees. We’re very hopeful 

that some of the remaining 

practices will see their way clear 

to begin offering low-cost visits 

to people with a community 

services card at the next 

opportunity.” 

Currently, 100 Canterbury 

clinics have opted into the policy 

to provide the discounts. 

At clinics offering the 

discounted, it costs $18.50 or less 

per visit for adult community 

services card-holders and $12.50 

for children aged between 14 

and 17. This saves card-holders 

about $30 per visit. 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board deputy chairman Tim 

Sintes said Tāmaki Health’s 

stance is simply not good 

enough. 

“When I hear people can’t 

afford to go to the doctor’s 

and they need to go to the 

doctor’s, it’s shocking, absolutely 

shocking.” 

Eastcare Health, Linwood 

Medical, Parklands Medical, 

Piki Te Ora, QE II Medical, 

Queenspark Healthcare, 

Shirley Medical and Te 

Rawhiti Family Care make up 

the rest of the clinics in the 

east and all have opted into 

the Government’s low-cost 

health care policy since it was 

introduced.

Successful barbershop 

run out of Aranui garage 

•From page 1 

Mr Koia said his young 

children Phoenix, 9, and 

Jeremiah, 2, and wife Nikkita are 

the driving forces behind his hard 

work and dedication to his craft. 

“I’ve got a mortgage to pay for, 

I work from home and it’s my 

own business. That in itself is the 

biggest motivator.” 

His work has also seen him 

give back to the community, 

most recently teaming up with 

My Fathers Barbers to raise 

$3000 for the mosque shooting 

victims and their families 

and providing free haircuts 

for Christchurch’s homeless 

population in the past. 

Mr Koia said he also gets a kick 

out of adding some style to the 

lives of community members in 

the east, where he has lived and 

worked for nine years. 

“I get guys from down the 

street and my neighbours. They 

love having a barber so close. 

They don’t have to go into the 

city or drive somewhere far away 

to get a good haircut, it’s right 

there.” 

The former furniture remover 

said his growing passion for his 

work means there is no way he 

would ever consider changing 

jobs again. 

CUT ABOVE: Luke Koia 

dominated The Battle For 

Barber City nationals, winning 

several individual awards and 

the overall title. 

“I’m just going to make this 

work and I’m making a career out 

of this thing no matter what.” 

With another child on the 

way, Mr Koia is determined to 

continue developing as a barber 

and plans to expand his business. 

“I’m just so hungry to keep 

getting better because there’s 

nothing else, I don’t have plans to 

do anything else. This is me until 

I’m done,” he said. 

•From page 1 

Bin Inn New Brighton owner 

Nikki Griffin said she didn’t 

support either name and wants 

the community to have a say on 

a completely different name. 

“It would be nice to have 

a consultation with the 

community, I think that both 

names sound boring.” 

“This is a legacy project and I 

don’t think any of 

those names suit a 

legacy project.” 

DCL chief 

executive Rob Hall 

said it is using 

Christchurch Hot 

Pools as a working 

title at this stage 

but it is open to 

the kind of public consultation 

Ms Griffin suggested. 

“That’s something we need 

to think through a bit more. At 

the moment, we’ve settled on 

Christchurch Hot Pools, but that 

will be undertaken over the next 

few months.” 

South New Brighton 

resident Soozie Bragg said 

there is only one option in her 

opinion. 

“It has to be New Brighton 

Hot Pools because, after all, 

that’s where it is.” 

“It’s New Brighton that’s been 

pushing for this for close to 50 

years.” She said giving the pools 

this name would be the best way 

to put New Brighton on the map 

again and encourage outsiders 

to visit. 

However, Coastal Ward 

city councillor David East 

agreed with Mrs Tavete, saying 

Christchurch Hot Pools would 

simply have more city-wide, 

national and international 

appeal.

Champion Centre ‘lifesaver’ for family 


• By Jess Gibson 

IN THE weeks and months 

after her son Blake was born, the 

Champion Centre at Burwood 

Hospital was a lifesaver for Susie 

Chisnall and her family. 

Five-year-old Blake Chisnall 

has Down’s syndrome and has 

been going to sessions at the 

centre since he was just a few 

weeks old. Staff encouraged and 

supported him as he learned to 

crawl, walk and talk. 

Now, Ms Chisnall, of St Albans, 

has given back to the centre. 

She raised $4890 at a high tea 

and charity auction event at the 

hairdressing and beauty salon 

she co-owns, Salon Parlour on 

Cranford St, St Albans. 

The Champion Centre is a 

not-for-profit organisation that 

provides early intervention services 

to infants and children with 

significant developmental delays 

and disabilities. 

A night for two at Pavilions 

Hotel, a signed Crusaders jersey 

and two platinum tickets to the 

Crusaders v Brumbies game, 

Bromley School pupils get taste of university life 


THE NEXT generation of 

university graduates are being 

inspired at Bromley School. 

The school is taking part 

in the Children’s University 

programme, a joint project 

with Lincoln and Canterbury 

universities to start getting 

pupils thinking about their 

academic futures from an early 

age. 

Lincoln University Children’s 

University project manager 

Jennie Nicholson said 24 

pupils from Bromley School 

will engage in a range of extracurricular 

activities, including 

sports, on-campus experiences 

and trips to public learning 

destinations. 

Each pupil will document 

the activities and the different 

were some of the prizes which 

were auctioned off. 

Ms Chisnall said the staff at the 

centre, including occupational 

therapists, physiotherapists, 

locations they complete them at 

in a learning passport. 

The passports were handed 

out by Ms Nicholson at 

Bromley School on Thursday 

and will be completed by pupils 

over the next seven months. 

Once they have completed 30 

hours of activities outlined in 

the passports, the pupils will 

be invited to dress up in full 

cap and gown for a graduation 

ceremony at the town hall on 

November 20. 

Ms Nicholson said Bromley 

School, along with Te Pā 

o Rākaihautū, Ladbrooks 

and Prebbleton schools, will 

take part in the Children’s 

University programme. 

Bromley School junior team 

leader Lindi Newth said it is 

a huge opportunity for the 

social workers, and speech and 

language therapists are incredible. 

“At a time when you are really 

struggling to come to grips with 

school. “It’s a low decile school, 

a lot of our children don’t 

know that university exists, 

so we’re trying to make sure 

our children have as many 

opportunities as possible to 

succeed in learning.” 

Ms Nicholson said 15,000 

school pupils in Australia 

currently participate in the 

programme and it has been so 

successful there is a waiting list 

for schools which want to join. 

She hopes the programme 

will do great things for 

Bromley’s pupils. 

“The programme aims 

to raise aspirations for 

higher education, but more 

importantly, it helps to install a 

love of learning and show that 

learning is everywhere and it 

is fun.” 

SUPPORT: 

Susie Chisnall 

raised almost 

$5000 for the 

Champion 

Centre after 

it helped her 

and her son 

Blake (inset). 

all of the challenges you’re facing 

as a parent of a child with extra 

needs they are the people who 

give you information, support 

and just all around kindness and 

compassion,” she said. 

The Champion Centre opened 

in 1977 and is based on the belief 

that every child, regardless of 

physical, mental, or social capacity, 

has the right to be educated, 

to learn, grow, contribute, and to 

reach their individual potential. 

Play specialist Emma Chilvers 

has worked with Blake for two 

years and said he has been “delightful.” 

“[The donation] is overwhelming. 

What it says to us is that 

she appreciates what the centre 

stands for and the importance 

of early intervention,” said Mrs 

Chilvers. 

Grants and fundraising 

coordinator Karon Storr said 

that parents are “definitely 

the best ambassadors for the 

centre.” 

The Champion Centre has 

supported more than 2000 

families in Canterbury and is 

currently working with more 

than 165 children. 

However, less than 60 per cent 

of its services are funded through 

Government agencies.

game. The duck race was a hot favourite with people decorating their ducks to watch them 

race along the river. 

Proposal for new community hub in the east 

Linda Stewart 


A PROPOSAL for a new community 

hub for residents in Burwood, 

Avondale and Dallington will be 

brought before the city council. 

The Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board will make this 

submission to the 2019-2020 draft 

Annual Plan. 

Board member Linda Stewart 

said research carried out by social 

researcher Sarah Wylie and an initial 

feasibility study completed by Global 

Leisure Group highlighted the need 

for such a facility. 

She said the research revealed the 

massive loss of infrastructure that 

these three areas faced had negatively 

impacted mental health in the three 

areas. 

“We’ve got well-being issues and 

social isolation.” 

The board’s chairwoman, Kim 

Money, agreed. 

“Eight years down the track we’re 

just seeing far too much anxiety and 

depression and suicide,” she said. 

“These gathering spaces 

really help communities connect 

and just help with the belonging 

in a community . . . so it is essential.” 

Mrs Stewart said she wants a 

community hub to be built right in 

the middle of the three communities 

to bring them together and help 

address these issues. 

Mrs Stewart said she estimated the 

construction of a community hub 

would cost between $5 million and 

$6 million and the board is currently 

in discussions about the best way to 

fund this. 

Ms Money said the board hopes 

the project will be green-lighted 

as soon as possible, but realistically 

she is pushing for it to be included 

within the city council’s next Long 

Term Plan.

HARCOURTS GOLD OFFICE MANAGER PARKLANDS AND NEW BRIGHTON 

ROBUST START TO 

THE NEW YEAR! 

With one of our busiest times of the year now upon us, 

our offices at Parklands and New Brighton have hit the 

ground running during the first quarter, working with a 

wide catalogue of available homes, in all price brackets 

right across the city. Good open home attendance, and 

online enquiry has produced positive activity, and the 

volume of listings coming into Harcourts throughout 

the city continues to indicate that we are still the most 

preferred company in Christchurch. 

It’s worth noting that the Reserve Bank’s reduced LVR 

restrictions came into effect from 1 January. This means 

that banks will now lend 20 per cent of their new loans 

to owner-occupiers who have a deposit of less than 20 

per cent of a purchase price – up from 15 per cent of new 

lending. The required minimum deposit for investors 

has now dropped to 30% from 35%. Subsequently, 

it’s foreseeable that these changes will bring a new 

batch of buyers into the housing market. In our local 

neighbourhood, it has also been pleasing to witness an 

increase in active first home buyers looking to get on 

the property ladder. 

Whilst I will always advocate an optimistic outlook, 

my message for those looking to sell, BE selective and 

BE sensible. Choose your sales consultant wisely and 

be sensible with price expectations if your home sits 

outside what we refer to as the market’s ‘sweet spots’, 

or there is an oversupply of available property in your 

neighbourhood. 

NEW DEVELOPMENTS CREATING 

OPPORTUNITES. 

It is no secret that the new developments in our eastern 

suburbs have sparked conversation and heightened 

interest in our local community over the past few years, 

and in particular, it’s been incredibly exciting to watch the 

final stages of the ‘two schools on one campus’ (Avonside 

Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ High Schools) take their form. Due 

to open the beginning of Term 2, this brand new, state 

of the art campus, is going to be a crucial asset for the 

east of Christchurch and will become a main contributor 

determining the real estate market locally. 

Speaking of schools, be sure to enter our online 

competition offering the opportunity to win movie tickets 

which may come in handy these upcoming April holidays. 

CHOOSE THE HARCOURTS GOLD 

TEAM FOR 'AS IS' SALES! 

With over 400 ‘As Is’ sales under our belt, and more in the 

pipeline, we are still frequently asked to sell damaged, 

and/or problematic, homes right across the city. We 

absolutely believe we have the most experience and 

know-how to get the job done, a tried and true marketing 

template, and an extensive online database of buyers 

ready to purchase. 

Our eastside offices in particular, have acted as a beacon 

for both homeowners and other real estate professionals, 

requiring clarity when dealing with complex property and 

real estate matters. 

LOOKING FOR A CHANGE IN 2019? 

Whether you are an established agent looking for a fresh 

start, or you’ve been thinking of making a career change 

in 2019, we are looking for some fresh faces to join our 

dynamic team. Harcourts gold is a great company to 

work with, offering a supportive environment, and an 

active mentoring programme. Our eastside offices based 

at Parklands and New Brighton are very much community

same passion for people and property. Should a vocation 

in real estate be of interest to you, please visit one of our

WITH MARY IN FAITH 

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

A NEW MARIAN COLLEGE FOR 2023 

MESSAGE FROM 

THE BOARD 

The Marian College Board is pleased 

to share the Bishop’s decision to 

relocate Marian College to north west 

Christchurch on a three hectare site. 

Our new College will neighbour St 

Joseph’s Primary School on land 

bordered by Vagues Road, Main North 

Road and Northcote Road, with the main 

entrance off Lydia Street. 

The new school is projected to cost in 

excess of $20 million and students are 

expected to start in February 2023. 

The Bishop said finding a new home for 

Marian College has always been one of 

his main priorities. The purchase of the 

former Foodstuffs warehouse property on 

Northcote Road has made this possible. 

He indicated scoping and design work 

will begin ready for when possession of 

the land takes place in April 2021. 

The news is exciting and very positive 

for Marian College and the changes are 

going to further strengthen and grow our 

Catholic community. 

Thank you to the Bishop on behalf of 

Marian College for his commitment to 

our future, and to the Catholic Diocese 

of Christchurch for its steady support 

over the years. 

The Catholic Bishop of Christchurch, Paul 

Martin and Marian College Principal Mary- 

Lou Davidson visiting Marian College’s 

new Papanui site. 

Thank you also to our school community 

for your loyalty and patience and to all 

the schools, businesses and communities 

who have supported Marian since the 

earthquakes. It means a lot to us. 

We look forward to the challenges the 

next four years bring us and to having 

closer working relationships with St 

Joseph’s School Papanui and our brother 

school St Bede’s College. 

Tātou ko Mere e whakapono ana 

With Mary in faith 

Jan Paterson 

Marian College Board of Trustees Chair 

SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED 

What will the new school look like? 

It is too early to say just yet. What we do know is that we intend to ensure the Catholic 

special character, values, heritage and story of Marian is incorporated and reflected in our 

new school’s grounds and buildings. While we are fortunate to be getting a new school – 

the heart of Marian College will remain the same. 

Our new Forde Block (Social Sciences and Careers), which opened at the beginning 

of this year, combines the best of traditional and open-plan classroom settings within a 

multi-functional and sound-proof learning environment. So far, the feedback from students 

and teachers has been positive, so it’s likely our new school will have similarly designed 

classrooms. 

Will there be opportunities for input into the new school? 

Yes. We will be engaging with our school community and gathering ideas in coming 

months. 

Why is it taking until 2023 to get a new school? 

The newly purchased site is currently tenanted and the lease expires in 2021. The Catholic 

Diocese of Christchurch will then take possession of the land. In the meantime, there will 

be valuable time for consultation, scoping and design work, before construction starts. 

Will travel to and from the new school be more difficult? 

Our new site is conveniently located on main arterial roads including QEII Drive and the 

ring road to Eastern and seaside suburbs, Main North Road through to North Canterbury 

as well as the Orbiter bus route. Connecting cycleways include the Papanui Parallel 

Cycleway, Northern Line Cycleway and QEII Shared Cycleway. 

By the time our new school is ready, the Christchurch Northern Corridor will be open. It is 

expected this road will significantly reduce traffic volumes on Main North Road – by up to 

50 per cent. It will also create an opportunity for the city council to make changes to Main 

North Road resulting in improved public transport journey times. 

Access to transport is an important part of our planning. We are confident that our families 

will have suitable transport options for students travelling from more than 30 of our feeder 

primary schools - families living in Central and East Christchurch, the seaside suburbs and 

North Canterbury. 

My daughter is currently a senior student at Marian – will she feel left out? 

A wonderful aspect of Marian College is how supportive and understanding our school 

community is through periods of change. We often say: “once a Marian girl, always a 

Marian girl”. Marian College will be making every effort to include all students in the 

shaping of our new school - regardless of whether they will be attending. We are asking 

past students and staff of Marian College and also our founding schools St Mary’s College 

(Christchurch) and McKillop College, to provide valuable input into what the new school 

will look like.

Pupils design play area 

to revitalise red zone 


A NEW natural play area 

designed by Banks Avenue 

School pupils will be constructed 

by the end of term four. 

The development, which pupils 

have named Adventure Ave, will 

sit between Woodchester Ave 

and Tilia Lane at the Richmond 

end of the Avon River. 

The play area will include a 

number of features, which will 

allow users to run, jump, climb 

and use their imagination. 

Planning for Adventure 

Ave is in the final stage, with 

construction set to start after 

the pupils pitch their idea to 

neighbours in the area and a 

decision is made on how the 

project will be funded. 

The project is a collaboration 

between Banks Avenue School 

and the Avon-Ōtākaro Network 

as part of its Riverlution project 

to revitalise the red zone 

surrounding the Avon River. 

Avon-Ōtākaro Network 

Education adviser Sian Carvell 

said the pupils decided it should 

be as environmentally-friendly 

and safe as possible and blend 

into the natural environment. 

“Most people, when they think 

playground, they think swings 

and slides and towers . . . but this 

is a lot more innovative. As the 

kids said, they wanted it to be

facilitator Kyle Sutherland. 

environmental, have huts, be fun 

with a mix of activities . . . have 

water, have no plastic, be reusable 

and have art in the design.” 

Ms Carvell said the pupils are 

been “very excited about being 

involved in the planning and 

decision-making around the project 

and having their ideas heard 

and taken seriously.” 

Pegasus Post reported last 

month that a number of Banks 

Avenue school pupils have shown 

signs of post-traumatic stress 

disorder as a result of the earthquakes. 

Ms Carvell said allowing the 

school’s pupils to contribute to 

the regeneration of the Avon 

River Corridor through this project 

would help them and others 

in the community recover. 

“It’s about reconnecting back 

to the land that caused a lot of 

trauma in their lives. It’s shown 

that that connection with nature 

is a really big aspect for healing 

and well-being, not just for kids, 

but for adults as well.” 

Planning for Adventure Ave is 

in its last stage, with construction 

set to begin after pupils pitch 

their idea to neighbours in the 

area. 


A GROUP Shirley Boys’ High 

students will travel to Japan

is reducing man-made waste

finish with students developing 

ideas from the different 

research they have done,” he 

said. “The students will then be 

expected to put in place a plan 

to implement this at their own 

school.” 

“The five boys involved 

from Shirley Boys are staying 

in Nagoya, a city of over 

two million people. They 

will have the opportunity 

to visit the former imperial 

capital of Japan, Kyoto, and 

do volunteering at Fuji Mae

The other schools groups 

attending will be from 

Melbourne and China.

Arawa girls dominate junior NZ squad 

• By Gordon Findlater 

ARAWA CANOE Club kayakers 

will make up the entire New 

Zealand female junior squad at 

the world junior championships 

in Romania in August. 

Last week Canoe Racing New 

Zealand announced that Arawa 

members Olivia Brett, Pieta Luthi, 

Tilly Pritchard, Jess Nisbett 

and Cass Hetherington will 

make up the five-strong junior 

women’s squad. 

“We’re wrapped. It’s a culmination 

of a lot of hard work from 

these kids and their coach Paul 

Fidow,” said Arawa president 

Stuart Clark. 

“They’re training nine or more 

times a week with five or six of 

those being at six o’clock in the 

morning in the gym and on the 

river. The Avon River is not the 

most pleasant place to be at that 

time of the day sometimes.” 

Brett will compete in the K1 

200 and will team up with Luthi 

in the K2 500. Luthi, Pritchard, 

Lisbett and Hetherington will 

make up the K4 500. Pritchard 

is also being considered for the 

K1 500. 

In February the girls dominated 

the under-18 division at 

the national championships 

which helped Arawa claim the 

top club honours. Brett was the 

most dominant athlete at the 

championships winning five 

gold medals in the under-18 K1

he trains with the national men’s 

squad, but remains a staunch

Avonside rower’s big break after Maadi Cup 


A STRONG showing at the 

Maadi Cup regatta has seen 

Avonside Girls’ High School 

student Sally Wylaars named as 

a New Zealand junior trialist. 

Wylaars will head to the trial 

at Lake Karapiro, which takes 

place from Sunday to April 20. 

The aim of the junior trials 

is to select crews to represent 

New Zealand at the junior world 

rowing championships in Tokyo, 

Japan, from August 7-11. 

Her selection came after Maadi 

Cup, in which she won a silver 

medal in the girls under-18 

double sculls. 

Wylaars and Maddy 

Thornton were the quickest in 

their heat and quarter-final early 

in the regatta. They booked a 

spot in the A final by finishing 

second in their semi-final – 

6sec behind Tauranga Girls’ 

College. 

In the final, Wylaars and 

Thornton were in contention 

for the win, but settled for a 

SPORT 

more than respectable second, 

finishing in 7min 27.51sec, 

behind the winners from St 

Peter’s School who won in 7min 

25.12sec. The bronze went to St 

Hilda’s Collegiate. 

Wylaars also narrowly missed 

out on making the A final in 

the girls under-18 single sculls. 

However, she won the B final in 

commanding fashion. 

Her time of 8min 9.05sec was 

more than 10sec ahead of her 

nearest rival and would have 

been good enough to finish fifth 

in the A final. 

Avonside Girls’ High also took 

silver in the girls under-18 novice 

coxed quadruple sculls. 

After winning their heat and 

quarter-final, Aria Johnston, 

Aaliyah Kerry, Stella Cook, Ash 

Fleming and coxswain Isabella 

Sherburd qualified for the final 

by finishing second in the semifinal. 

In the final they finished 

just over 2sec behind winners 

Mt Aspiring College in 7min 

40.05sec. Avonside Girls’ High 

were also represented in the A 

final of the girls under-15 coxed 

quadruple sculls. 

The crew of Aria Johnston, 

Stella Cook, Ash Fleming, Molly 

Edwards and coxswain Isabella 

Sherburd finished sixth in the 

final – 13sec behind winners 

Dunstan High School.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.” 

New bid to fix potholes

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

Winder was part of the Pure 

South Sharp Blacks team.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile 

traders acro s the districts could 

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the 

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za 

cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en 

September-May along with a Thai

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to 

o pose the pla ned qua ry near 

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
