Passion for music leaves law behind<br />

OVERWHELMED: A special farewell concert will be held for pianist, composer and musical director Matt Everingham before<br />

he heads to the United States.<br />

MATT EVERINGHAM could<br />

have easily chosen to pursue a<br />

prospering career in the legal<br />

profession.<br />

During the summer he<br />

passed a course at the<br />

Institute of Professional<br />

Legal Studies, which has given<br />

him the right to go to court to<br />

pass the bar. But while juggling<br />

his studies in law, over the years<br />

Everingham has managed to<br />

establish himself as a pianist,<br />

composer and musical director<br />

– and has made it his<br />

profession in the city for the<br />

past six years.<br />

complex<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

AN EIGHT-CINEMA complex<br />

could open at Wigram Skies.<br />

Canterbury Property<br />

resource consent application<br />

to open a multi-cinema at The<br />

The proposed complex, presently<br />

known as Silky Otter would<br />

have a total of eight cinemas<br />

– each with 50 seats, a lounge,<br />

retail/food and beverage counter.<br />

Waiting areas, meeting rooms,<br />

bathroom facilities and a total of<br />

41 car parks will be accommodated<br />

in the site area, along with<br />

a new access point to Corsair<br />

Drive.<br />

A city council spokesman said<br />

the resource consent is currently<br />

on hold and awaiting further<br />

information.<br />

The vacant site at The Runway<br />

MORE EVIDENCE on page 1 today of<br />

the rapidly expanding suburbs in the<br />

south-west.<br />

Canterbury Property Investments Ltd, a<br />

big player in the rebuild, wants to build an<br />

eight-cinema complex at The landing in Wigram Skies.<br />

That’s a smart move from the company as the area continues<br />

to boom.<br />

Bars, cafes, retail and health services have and are moving<br />

into Wigram to capitalise on what provides the dollars – people.<br />

The complex will be called the Silky Otter. I haven’t seen any<br />

in the Wigram area, but it’s not a bad sort of a name.<br />

Community groups and the community board are behind the<br />

idea, so while the plan has to go through the resource consent<br />

process, I’d say it’s a home run.<br />

Quarry consent conditions review<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

A RISE in the number of heavy<br />

vehicles using a small country<br />

lane in Yaldhurst has led to a<br />

quarry company’s consenting<br />

conditions being formally<br />

reviewed.<br />

The city council is reviewing<br />

the conditions which originally<br />

allowed SOL Quarries Ltd to<br />

establish a gravel quarry at<br />

Guys Rd.<br />

Yaldhurst<br />

residents are<br />

fed up with<br />

quarry trucks<br />

“roaring” down<br />

School, Guys and<br />

Hasketts Rds<br />

Aaron<br />

throughout the<br />

day, a city council<br />

spokesman said.<br />

Campbell<br />

“Council staff are aware of<br />

community concerns regarding<br />

heavy vehicle usage on Schools<br />

and Hasketts Rd and are<br />

currently involved in reviewing<br />

the issues,” he said.<br />

The formal review set out in<br />

the Resource Management Act<br />

will ultimately be considered by<br />

a commissioner, the spokesman<br />

said.<br />

The conditions in the resource<br />

consent approved in 2016<br />

encouraged heavy trucks to use<br />

alternative routes to School Rd/<br />

PROBLEMATIC: Yaldhurst residents are tired of heavy trucks<br />

using narrow roads.<br />

Hasketts Rd. The commissioner<br />

decision for the consent stated<br />

none of the experts on the panel<br />

supported the use of the route.<br />

While the panel did not want<br />

the route to be used, it was<br />

decided not to make a specific<br />

condition preventing heavy<br />

trucks from using it. ​<br />

SOL Quarries Ltd manager<br />

Simon Apperley said it has<br />

recently met with the city<br />

council, sent it all required<br />

information and completed a<br />

quarry compliance audit.<br />

He said the city council also<br />

has the opportunity to review<br />

the quarry conditions every 12<br />

months and SOL Quarries Ltd<br />

has been working with it, along<br />

with Environment Canterbury,<br />

on trucking and general quarry<br />

regulations.<br />

Mr Apperley said it has put<br />

a lot of emphasis on School Rd<br />

and has met with Yaldhurst<br />

Model School representatives,<br />

which had positive outcomes.<br />

But Yaldhurst residents are<br />

still unhappy with the number<br />

of trucks using the road.<br />

The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board<br />

has also requested an update on<br />

the review’s progress.<br />

Board member Aaron<br />

Campbell said residents are<br />

putting up with vibrations from<br />

the heavy vehicles going past.<br />

“The corners are quite<br />

narrow, there is worries there<br />

that turning heavy vehicles<br />

move across into opposing lanes<br />

of traffic around School Rd,” he<br />

said.<br />

School Rd resident Adrienne<br />

van Rig said it is a narrow road<br />

with no footpaths and she is<br />

concerned about children using<br />

the road who attend Yaldhurst<br />

Model School.<br />

But Yaldhurst Model<br />

School principal Allan<br />

Robertson said the school has<br />

not noticed any issues with<br />

heavy trucks.<br />

TREES LIKELY TO STAY<br />

The future of 22 trees at Villa<br />

Grove will be decided today by<br />

the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board. <strong>Western</strong><br />

<strong>News</strong> reported in September Villa<br />

Grove residents wanted them<br />

removed. The residents presented<br />

a 24-signature petition to the<br />

board, calling for the trees to be<br />

cut down. City council staff have<br />

recommended the trees not be<br />

removed.<br />

NEW CAR PARK PLAN<br />

A new car park could be installed<br />

at the south side of the Halswell<br />

Domain. The proposed car<br />

park would be located along the<br />

Edward Stafford Ave frontage. It<br />

is due to the high use of Halswell<br />

Domain, which has led to parking<br />

pressure. The Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board will<br />

look to approve the car park at its<br />

meeting today.<br />

Kirkwood Intermediate<br />

School of Choice<br />

Celebrating Kirkwood House<br />

Captains for <strong>2019</strong><br />

Year 7 Camp<br />

Our Year 7 pupils have recently<br />

attended a camp at Purau Bay.<br />

This is a great way for the children<br />

to get to know each other.<br />

Canadian canoeing was my favourite part of camp, it<br />

was really fun racing each other. We enjoyed playing<br />

football, the game predator and kick the can. It was<br />

a great way to get to know each other and I hope this<br />

camp continues for years to come. We had the most<br />

amazing parent helpers which we really enjoyed. We<br />

also learnt to cooperate with each other and it gave us<br />

an opportunity to get to know our class mates better.<br />

From the left: Jakub I, Sofia M, Ariel S, Elham N, Callum S, Emanuela M,<br />

Carsyn W, Sophie M<br />

House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary<br />

Callum - Ex Prebbleton School I love Kirkwood Intermediate because<br />

there are a lot of opportunities for sport and leadership. I would like to<br />

make the Basket A Team and look forward to experiencing the Chinese<br />

culture when I travel to China on the school trip. I wanted to be House<br />

Captain to improve my leadership skills and so I can be a good role model<br />

for the school.<br />

Emanuela - Ex Clearview Primary Kirkwood provides many different<br />

opportunities for us to experience. I will like to work on achieving an allround<br />

elite Blue which is part of our Kirkwood Blues Awards. My goal in<br />

Year 7 was to show my leadership skills in Year 8.<br />

House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg<br />

Carsyn - Ex West Spreydon I enjoy Kirkwood because it has so many<br />

opportunities. This year, I would like to earn another Blues Award as well<br />

as learn as much as I can. This year I want to help others and ensure<br />

everyone is happy.<br />

Sophie M - Ex Halswell Primary School I love the many opportunities<br />

available at Kirkwood and I would like to be involved as much as possible<br />

while being a good role model. I will enjoy being a great leader and making<br />

Sheppard/Freyberg the best house.<br />

House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa<br />

Jakub - Ex Rolleston School Kirkwood Intermediate School has a great<br />

atmosphere, with amazing pupils and staff. There are so many opportunities<br />

you can do and no one judges you. This year I would love to get an allround<br />

elite from the Blues Awards system. I am also looking forward to<br />

the trip to China and learning about their culture. I would like to be a good<br />

role model for everyone and gain more skills in leadership. I look forward to<br />

helping others.<br />

Sofia M - Ex Oaklands School I love Kirkwood as there are a lot of great<br />

opportunities. The teachers are awesome and you get to try new things to<br />

challenge yourself. This year I would like to achieve good grades, learn a lot<br />

and will look forward to a brilliant final year. I was inspired by our last year’s<br />

House Captains and I would like to inspire the Year 7 pupils.<br />

House Captains for Rutherford/Batten<br />

Ariel - Ex Edmonton Primary (Auckland) I Love the opportunities made<br />

available at Kirkwood Intermediate School. I would like to be involved in<br />

basketball and I will look forward to learning all about China when I visit later<br />

on in the year.<br />

Elham - Ex Gilberthorpe School I love everything about Kirkwood<br />

Intermediate School, especially Technology and winter sport. However, my<br />

favourite part is the Library and school hall. My goal this year is to improve<br />

in reading and writing, playing as many different sports as possible and to<br />

have fun during my time at Kirkwood. I will enjoy this leadership role as I am<br />

a confident speaker, I can be a good role model and I am a good adviser.<br />

Abseiling was my<br />

favourite part of camp<br />

because it was fun, challenging<br />

and a new experience. I thought<br />

that I wouldn’t go the whole way down<br />

but I did! It was my goat at camp. A<br />

lot of friends in my class cheered for<br />

me which was great support. Some of<br />

the activities which I enjoyed were<br />

abseiling, Canadian canoeing,<br />

crab hunting and feeding<br />

the chicks.<br />

My favourite part of<br />

camp was the Canadian<br />

canoeing, although feeding the<br />

eels was a lot of fun too. Other<br />

camp activities were: abseiling;<br />

pitching tents; playing sports; bush<br />

walking; periwinkle hunting and<br />

beach time. I have to say I prefer<br />

camping rather than playing<br />

on electronics all day.<br />

I enjoy outdoor<br />

activities and<br />

adventures. I also really<br />

liked the food and awesome<br />

activities which I was able to<br />

do. The Canadian canoeing<br />

was my favourite. I also<br />

enjoyed the games we<br />

played.<br />

Changes to online Halswell page<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

AN ONGOING social media<br />

quarrel has led to a survey being<br />

released on how Halswell’s<br />

largest community Facebook<br />

page is run.<br />

The Halswell<br />

Community<br />

Group<br />

Facebook page<br />

will mostly<br />

stick to the<br />

status quo after<br />

releasing results<br />

on what its<br />

members think<br />

Chrys Horn<br />

about the way<br />

the page is run.<br />

Halswell<br />

Community Project chairwoman<br />

and one of the administrators<br />

Chrys Horn<br />

said after the<br />

page has been<br />

facing so much<br />

trouble recently,<br />

it was<br />

important to<br />

gauge what<br />

people thought<br />

Greig Russell<br />

about what it<br />

does.<br />

The page has<br />

come under fire from outspoken<br />

Halswell resident Greig Russell<br />

who was removed from the<br />

group of nearly 11,000 members<br />

for posting a mobile number on<br />

ONLINE: The result of an online survey will help guide how the<br />

Halswell Community Group Facebook page is run.<br />

the page.<br />

As a result of falling out with<br />

the administrators, he has<br />

since set up his own page called<br />

Halswell Community Page<br />

Uncensored.<br />

Following the Halswell<br />

Community Group Facebook<br />

page releasing the findings of its<br />

survey, the group decided it<br />

will continue to approve posts<br />

in spite of the majority voting<br />

against it.<br />

Out of the 352 people that took<br />

part in the survey, 61.9 per cent<br />

preferred it being allowed for<br />

any member to post to the<br />

Facebook page, while 34.7 per<br />

cent voted to have all online<br />

posts approved.<br />

But Dr Horn said approving<br />

all posts online has made the<br />

administrators lives so much<br />

easier and it has cut down their<br />

workload enormously.<br />

She said because the group is<br />

approving posts before they go<br />

online she feels it was unlikely<br />

Mr Russell would cause too<br />

much damage and would be<br />

happier about adding him back<br />

to the group.<br />

But Mr Russell said he was no<br />

longer interested in being part of<br />

the page and it was not worth the<br />

“headache.”<br />

He said he didn’t think the<br />

group was going to change and it<br />

was “wrong” for them to decide<br />

what people should or shouldn’t<br />

read and many Halswell<br />

residents were sick of it.<br />

Mr Russell has also criticised<br />

the page for temporarily shutting<br />

down over the weekend<br />

recently.<br />

But Dr Horn said that<br />

was not fair, the group<br />

administrators needed a<br />

weekend to talk about the way<br />

the group was run.<br />

“It is all done voluntarily . . .<br />

we had a team where people were<br />

starting to think, oh we don’t<br />

really want to do this anymore,”<br />

she said.<br />

Other conclusions from the<br />

survey was for the group to<br />

allow local clubs and<br />

groups advertise fundraisers, the<br />

majority wanted to see<br />

less trolling, bullying and<br />

bickering and members<br />

should not be able to list items<br />

for sale.<br />

SIX HORNBY residents will<br />

be celebrated for making a<br />

difference in the community at<br />

an upcoming fashion show.<br />

The Hub Hornby will be<br />

putting on its first fashion<br />

show to showcase its upcoming<br />

As part of the event, six<br />

residents nominated from<br />

the greater Hornby area will<br />

receive a “top to toe” $1000<br />

makeover, styled by mall fashion<br />

stylist Vicki McMillan.<br />

The Hub Hornby centre<br />

manager Jason Marsden said<br />

the idea is to celebrate diversity<br />

in the community and all<br />

nominees are “really neat<br />

people.”<br />

As part of the show, rather<br />

than using professional models,<br />

participating retailers are<br />

organising their own models<br />

using staff, friends and family.<br />

“This is going to be all about<br />

real fashion on real people. We<br />

want our customers to think:<br />

Yes I could wear that,” he said.<br />

Digging deep on Riccarton Rd<br />

ABOUT 1m of Riccarton Rd<br />

needs to be dug a day as part of<br />

the $18.4 million upgrade.<br />

Almost 1km of sewer pipe<br />

needs to be replaced, buried 4m<br />

below the road and work digging<br />

it up has begun.<br />

“Replacing that much pipe at<br />

the depth is a big project by any<br />

measure, but when you’re digging<br />

up Christchurch’s second busiest<br />

road, you have another ball to<br />

juggle in terms of keeping traffic<br />

moving both ways and keeping<br />

access to all the open shops,” said<br />

manager planning and delivery<br />

transport Lynette Ellis.<br />

“The sewer pipes are nearly<br />

100-years-old and at the end of<br />

their lifespan, so the work has to<br />

happen now if we want to avoid<br />

the pipes failing,” Ms Ellis said.<br />

“We thought we’d take the<br />

opportunity to make quite a few<br />

other improvements to Riccarton<br />

Rd that will leave the whole<br />

area much more vehicle – and<br />

pedestrian-friendly than it is.”<br />

The project will cost $18.4<br />

million and is expected to be<br />

complete by December 2020.<br />

The city council is also replacing<br />

water mains under the road.<br />

Once the underground work<br />

is finished, the council will<br />

rebuild the road and then<br />

widen it, creating bus priority<br />

measures and extra space for<br />

DIG: Work has started on stage one of the Riccarton Rd<br />

upgrade opposite Westfield Shopping Centre.<br />

emergency vehicles.<br />

“Riccarton Rd has more than<br />

800 bus movements a day and<br />

around 3000 passengers boarding<br />

here per weekday, so the bus<br />

priority measures will provide<br />

more reliable bus travel for a lot<br />

of people, especially at peak times<br />

when they need to get to work or<br />

home,” Ms Ellis said.<br />

There will be sections of bus<br />

lane on each side of the road, bus<br />

lights at traffic signals so buses<br />

can proceed ahead of general<br />

traffic, and longer bus stops so<br />

getting on and off is easier and<br />

quicker for passengers.<br />

A tree-lined median is also<br />

being installed between Clarence<br />

and Matipo Sts.<br />

“The trees we’re putting in will<br />

have a calming effect that will gently<br />

slow traffic, which will make<br />

this section of the road a more<br />

pleasant destination for shoppers<br />

and visitors,” Ms Ellis said.<br />

On-street parking along Riccarton<br />

Rd is being permanently<br />

removed to make space for the<br />

new road layout, but the council<br />

has created a time-restricted<br />

car park behind Riccarton Rd<br />

between Rimu St and Straven Rd<br />

to replace it.<br />

•From page 1<br />

A transportation assessment<br />

said the traffic generated by the<br />

development can be accommodated<br />

on the adjacent network<br />

without capacity or efficiency<br />

issues arising.<br />

The idea of a new cinema<br />

complex has received positive<br />

feedback from the community.<br />

Greater Hornby Residents’<br />

Association member<br />

Mark Peters said it<br />

is a “fantastic idea” and<br />

will be a great resource.<br />

“There are a number of<br />

residents in the Hornby<br />

area that would be really<br />

keen to have a cinema<br />

back in our region. I<br />

am sure there will be plenty of<br />

patronage,” he said.<br />

His views were backed by<br />

Awatea Residents Association<br />

secretary Kay Stieller, who<br />

said it will mean having more<br />

facilities in the community and<br />

residents won’t have to go into<br />

the city.<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board chairman<br />

Mike Mora said if it brings<br />

people, business and provides<br />

entertainment, it could be positive<br />

for the area.<br />

“People do love having a<br />

Former Save<br />

Denton Park<br />

group legal<br />

researcher<br />

Brian Brodie<br />

writes<br />

about the<br />

reclassification of Kyle Park<br />

YOU MAY not be aware<br />

that the city council is now<br />

calling for submissions on the<br />

reclassification of Kyle Park, as it<br />

did for Denton Park, to build the<br />

Hornby mega facility.<br />

It is interesting to note<br />

that the hearings panel,<br />

which deliberated on the<br />

reclassification of Denton Park,<br />

turned it down, stating its<br />

No 1 reason and issue for not<br />

supporting the city council’s<br />

application to reclassify Denton<br />

Park was the overwhelming<br />

problematic traffic issues that the<br />

immediate central Hornby area<br />

would need to accommodate.<br />

It was very clear to ascertain<br />

from about 1500 Denton Park<br />

public submissions that the<br />

majority of Hornby residents,<br />

in particular, expressed a no<br />

tolerance stance toward any<br />

further suggestions of projects<br />

and buildings by the city council<br />

which would cause further<br />

congestion and problematic<br />

traffic issues in the vicinity of the<br />

central Hornby area.<br />

In the initial public<br />

consultation document (which<br />

ran from Wednesday, <strong>April</strong><br />

26, to Friday, June 9, 2017)<br />

the “site challenges” for Kyle<br />

Park section showed the city<br />

council’s consideration clearly<br />

suggests the traffic congestion<br />

and management issues facing<br />

the Kyle Park site are far more<br />

problematic than that of Denton<br />

Park. However, now the city<br />

council and some members<br />

of the Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board<br />

are seen to be running with and<br />

supporting Kyle Park contrary<br />

to this consideration. What has<br />

changed?<br />

The alarming thing is that<br />

by supporting the Kyle Park<br />

site, one could be seen to be<br />

disregarding the initial city<br />

council consideration or seem<br />

ignorant of the fact that “the<br />

traffic issue” was both the<br />

hearings panel and the public’s<br />

main reason for not supporting<br />

the Denton Park reclassification.<br />

In summary, it would appear<br />

very naive to assume after taking<br />

account of the city council<br />

considerations, publicised<br />

research, the hearings panel’s<br />

findings and received public<br />

submissions, that the Kyle Park<br />

site will be less troublesome than<br />

its neighbour, Denton Park, in<br />

regard to the traffic issue.<br />

It is highly likely that Kyle<br />

Park may well present more<br />

problems than the former option<br />

of Denton Park.<br />

Now<br />

Is Kyle Park the best option for the mega facility?<br />

Ross Bartlett responds to<br />

the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> article<br />

about young cyclists not<br />

wearing helmets<br />

Ross Bartlett – I just read<br />

your article on cycle helmets.<br />

My comments below apply both<br />

to bikes and electric scooters,<br />

which can travel at more than<br />

30km/h. I’m all for pro-choice,<br />

but I don’t think people realise<br />

what happens when head meets<br />

road at 30km/h. The photo above<br />

is the result of such. While I<br />

was on a commuting ride, about<br />

28km/h, a car pulled out from<br />

the kerb without checking and<br />

clipped my back wheel. The<br />

injuries are purely from hitting<br />

the road, not the car, and a<br />

helmet was worn. I’m reliably<br />

informed that without the<br />

helmet, my days of eating solid<br />

food may have been numbered.<br />

You can be the best rider on the<br />

planet, but you can’t avoid the<br />

carelessness of others forever.<br />

The revolution<br />

in heat pumps<br />

is here now!<br />

I actually think the primary<br />

reason people don’t wear helmets<br />

is because of what it does to their<br />

hair, because some helmets do<br />

look a bit dorky, and because<br />

people don’t like being told<br />

they have to. Perhaps a bit of a<br />

generational thing, too, with the<br />

latest batch of kids growing up<br />

on scooters and used to wearing<br />

helmets, but the oldies having<br />

it “thrust” upon them. There’s<br />

certainly no inconvenience,<br />

given it sits on your head so you<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

submission, some serious<br />

questions must be considered:<br />

•Is the problematic traffic issue<br />

really such a big deal?<br />

•Does the cost of land<br />

remediation at $8-$10 million<br />

actually quantify a smaller<br />

facility?<br />

•Is a 22 per cent reduction in<br />

the complex size acceptable?<br />

•Is this complex just about a<br />

swimming pool for the southwest?<br />

What is the big hurry<br />

really about?<br />

Remember a library and<br />

governance buildings are to be<br />

included, hence the need for the<br />

reclassification to a local purpose<br />

reserve.<br />

•Are you really getting your<br />

dollars worth as a ratepayer?<br />

•Could you get a larger, better,<br />

future-proofed facility elsewhere,<br />

without the high contamination<br />

risk?<br />

•Does Warren Park or other<br />

available sites offer a better<br />

option?<br />

• Is Kyle Park just a quick fix?<br />

• Do you think the public should<br />

have been re-consulted over<br />

other available site options?<br />

Tony Cooper responds<br />

to an article about dogs<br />

being unleashed in areas<br />

Quarry where they<br />

are required to wear<br />

leashes at all times<br />

I have been walking<br />

at Halswell Quarry for<br />

the past three years and<br />

have been appalled at<br />

the lack of signage around the<br />

place. Even where there are signs<br />

they are so small no one can<br />

see them. As for dog owners,<br />

they think they are a law unto<br />

themselves, having no respect<br />

for other users, not only at the<br />

quarry, but in all other parks.<br />

I have been pestered by dogs<br />

even in the conservation areas<br />

around the lakes. And as to dogs<br />

unleashed on the rim walk, you<br />

are asking for trouble. Let’s get<br />

some decent signage up with a<br />

HALSWELL residents<br />

living with disabilities want<br />

to see improvements made<br />

to the suburb’s transport<br />

infrastructure.<br />

Surveys undertaken by the<br />

Halswell Community Project<br />

and city council have identified<br />

a need for improvement in the<br />

suburb’s infrastructure.<br />

A report<br />

released to<br />

<strong>Western</strong><br />

<strong>News</strong> showed<br />

residents living<br />

with disabilities<br />

had concerns<br />

over speeding<br />

traffic, a lack<br />

of controlled<br />

crossings, large<br />

curbs and a need for smoother<br />

footpaths. It also found there was<br />

a general desire for more disabled<br />

toilets in the area.<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board member Ross<br />

McFarlane said it is about finding<br />

a happy balance of what footpaths<br />

are functioning now and<br />

what is due for a replacement.<br />

“We’d all like footpaths paved<br />

with gold but the fact is just in<br />

the present financial situation<br />

. . . let’s face it we have still got<br />

a lot of earthquake damage,” he<br />

housing for people with physical disabilities. ​<br />

said. But Mr McFarlane said it<br />

was an excellent survey.<br />

St John of God Halswell<br />

resident Josh Caldwell, who was<br />

diagnosed with rare auto-immune<br />

disease transverse myelitis,<br />

said the footpaths need to be addressed<br />

as they are challenging.<br />

“It is kind of citywide though<br />

. . . I think Halswell is pretty<br />

good compared to the rest of the<br />

city,” he said.<br />

Two surveys were undertaken<br />

due to the high number of organisations<br />

working with people<br />

with disabilities and an information<br />

gap identified during a community<br />

planning session.<br />

One survey covered accessibility<br />

to community facilities<br />

while the other allowed the<br />

opportunity to give feedback on<br />

what made the suburb a good<br />

place to live.<br />

It showed people with intellectual<br />

disabilities liked living in<br />

Halswell because of the slightly<br />

rural feel, having accessible<br />

facilities and it is close to other<br />

areas.<br />

The survey was originally<br />

Halswell has a large number<br />

of organisations working with<br />

people the disabled including<br />

Halswell Residential College, St<br />

John of God Hauora Trust and<br />

Halswell Men’s Shed.<br />

Thirty-eight individuals<br />

responded ranging in ages from<br />

10 to 82.<br />

The report also showed there<br />

was a demand for further recreational<br />

activities and Zumba<br />

for people living with disabilities<br />

was recommended.<br />

Other recommendations<br />

were for more outdoor lighting<br />

around car parks and walkways.<br />

City council’s head of community<br />

sport, governance and<br />

partnerships John Filsell said it<br />

will use the survey to work with<br />

disability organisations and<br />

community groups to assist in<br />

projects that benefit people with<br />

disabilities.<br />

Halswell Community Project<br />

chairwoman Chrys Horn said<br />

it was a good survey which<br />

highlighted the needs of a group<br />

the community doesn’t hear<br />

from often.<br />

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula.<br />

Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. Kumusta. Haere mai haere mai ki<br />

Te Kura Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the<br />

Hornby High School community.<br />

What an incredibly sad time we have been through in<br />

Christchurch. Much that we have pretended to be true in<br />

New Zealand, much that we have chosen to believe does<br />

not exist, has been made plain for us to see. Personally I<br />

cannot comprehend hate on the scale that we saw on the<br />

15th of March. What has lifted my heart and fed my soul is<br />

the love and compassion with which our amazing rangatahi<br />

have responded. I have almost daily seen the evidence that<br />

my messages of love and kindness are finding their mark in<br />

our children’s hearts. Whether it was the sight of a Year 13<br />

student comforting a younger student with an arm around<br />

a shoulder while visiting the Botanic Gardens tribute wall,<br />

or the messages of love and support that children of many<br />

ages spontaneously created to take to that wall, our young<br />

people have given me hope. It is at times such as these in<br />

particular that we need hope before all else.<br />

Take heart, because our young people, our beautiful<br />

rangatahi, know what is right, they want a world filled with<br />

love and compassion, with tolerance and peace. Unlike my<br />

generation of the 60’s, this generation may just be able to<br />

change the world for the better. I live with that hope.<br />

We are about to enter enrolment season for 2020 entry to<br />

Hornby High School. Our kura has an enrolment scheme<br />

that came into place at the beginning of <strong>2019</strong>. The Board<br />

of Trustees has decided to make 15 out-of-zone places<br />

available for 2020, all in the years 7 to 10. Last year we<br />

had quite a few whānau disappointed because they left<br />

application for enrolment too late. Application for out-ofzone<br />

enrolment closes on 26th July. It is easy to think that<br />

that is a long way away, but the time will pass rapidly. The<br />

agreed zoning rules are such that we cannot accept out-ofzone<br />

enrolments after that date. Details of our enrolment<br />

scheme are available on our website. Look under the<br />

‘Enrolment’ tab for a zone map and specification. You can<br />

pick up enrolment forms from reception any time now.<br />

In the meantime, carry forward our message of kindness<br />

and love, support your children to continue to care, to care<br />

about the world and its people.<br />

He aha te mea nui o te ao. He tāngata, he tāngata, he<br />

tāngata<br />

What is the most important thing in the world? It is<br />

people, it is people, it is people.<br />

Farewell concert<br />

planned for musician<br />

•From page 1<br />

The Broomfield resident has<br />

therefore decided to make the<br />

big move to the United States to<br />

try his luck at breaking into the<br />

American music scene.<br />

“For now music is my total passion<br />

and it is far too fun to give<br />

up for a day job,” he said.<br />

Everingham, 24, will fly to New<br />

York next Tuesday before travelling<br />

to Nebraska to take up work<br />

as a musical director, conductor<br />

and pianist at live theatre company<br />

Post Playhouse.<br />

“I am just really ready basically<br />

for that next step and particularly<br />

in musical theatre as you know<br />

the US, typically New York City is<br />

the centre of all that,” he said.<br />

He will work at the company<br />

over the American summer season<br />

before heading back to New<br />

York in August to find work as a<br />

musician.<br />

But before he leaves, Everingham<br />

will play and conduct in a<br />

special farewell concert celebrating<br />

his years of making music in<br />

the city on Saturday.<br />

“I am doing a repertoire I have<br />

always loved, artists that inspired<br />

me early on . . . artists like Billy<br />

Joel and Elton John,” he said.<br />

Destination USA – A Farewell<br />

Concert will feature musicians,<br />

singers and choirs he has worked<br />

with over the years along with<br />

songs from a wide range of musical<br />

genres he has played.<br />

Ensembles The Vocal Collective,<br />

Tango La Luna and the<br />

Canterbury Lawyers’ Choir will<br />

perform along with a line-up of<br />

well-known theatre performers in<br />

the city.<br />

Everingham said it is an honour<br />

and overwhelming having so<br />

many artists supporting the show.<br />

Everingham has led an exciting<br />

career working with companies<br />

including The Court Theatre and<br />

Showbiz Christchurch.<br />

His original song Fractures:<br />

In Memoriam was premiered at<br />

Westminster Abbey, London, in<br />

2015 and his other work has been<br />

performed at the Miami Fashion<br />

Film Festival.​<br />

Having a strong interest in<br />

music law, in 2017, Everingham<br />

achieved a Bachelor of Law and<br />

Bachelor of Music in composition<br />

with honours.<br />

WORK HAS begun on<br />

the more than $5 million<br />

redevelopment of Oaklands<br />

School in Halswell.<br />

The revamp includes<br />

upgrading existing classrooms<br />

and building new teaching<br />

spaces, a library and an<br />

administration block.<br />

It is scheduled to take about<br />

18 months and is part of<br />

the contract to redevelop the<br />

school.<br />

Oaklands School principal<br />

Margaret Trotter said it<br />

is exciting to see signs of<br />

construction on the school site<br />

after years of planning and<br />

anticipation.<br />

The school’s buildings,<br />

constructed in the 1960s, stood<br />

up well to the earthquakes but<br />

needed to be refreshed and<br />

adapted for the modern learning<br />

environment, she said.<br />

Much planning has gone into<br />

minimising disruption to the<br />

more than 570 students and the<br />

school community while the<br />

redevelopment happens, Mrs<br />

Trotter said.<br />

She said this included doing<br />

a lot construction work during<br />

the holidays and after school<br />

hours, she said.<br />

The redevelopment involves<br />

building a new office block, a<br />

new classroom block, a new<br />

Which group of children was the Top Team?<br />

Sarah from Sports Canterbury came to<br />

Oaklands School with a great range of games<br />

for us to play. The games encouraged team<br />

building and problem solving. Year1 were<br />

teamed up with friends from Year 6GF and<br />

Years 7/8 Big Buddies. There was a two<br />

minute instruction and then the activities were<br />

completed in four minutes.<br />

The team with the highest score won. Well done<br />

to group 7!<br />

Year 7 Wainui Camp<br />

Wainui Camp is a camp just for<br />

Year 7 Students to jell and build<br />

rapport with their teachers. Wainui<br />

is an outstanding camp. It starts<br />

with a beautiful bus ride over to<br />

Banks Peninsula where you get<br />

views of the Akaroa Harbour and<br />

all of the surrounding bays. Once<br />

students arrive, they get settled into their bunkrooms and get<br />

a chance to explore the camp and the surrounding parts of the<br />

camp. Following their short exploration, they then get stuck<br />

into their first activity.<br />

The activities this year were, Archery, Sea Kayaking, Outdoor<br />

Life Skills and High Ropes. These activities are designed to be<br />

challenging and push students out of their comfort zone.<br />

At night time, students get to play games such as, Hunters<br />

and Seekers, Go Home, Stay Home and Spotlight. For all of the<br />

students, the night time activities were a hit and a bunch of fun!<br />

While at Wainui, Pete the Chef cooked us lovely meals for tea<br />

and lunch. The consisted of homemade spring rolls, burgers,<br />

American Hotdogs and Butter Chicken. It was safe to say, we<br />

ate everything that was on offer.<br />

“I liked the water thing because I kept tipping the water on<br />

myself.” Evelyn<br />

“I liked the water things because when we were doing the<br />

bucket activity we got some water in the bucket in the end.” Isla<br />

“I liked everything and I loved all of them.” Jolee<br />

“I liked the gutterball game and when I got there I was excited.”<br />

Mason F<br />

“I liked the ball game when you rolled them through the pipes<br />

and landed in a bucket because we could see who could get<br />

the most balls in the bucket.” Sam<br />

“I liked when we balanced the buckets on the stands and when<br />

we tried to get the balls in the buckets.” Findlay<br />

“I liked the thing we needed to balance the water in the buckets<br />

and I didn’t get wet!” Mackenzie<br />

It has been great to see our school<br />

swimming pool having lots of use<br />

we have had instructors come into<br />

the school to support the staff and<br />

Burnside High School Athletics Day was held over two days in February. Participation in the event was<br />

very high, with a number of records being broken that had stood for many years.<br />

From there 75 students went on to represent the school at the Canterbury Secondary School’s<br />

Athletics Championships which was held at Nga Puna Wai on 19th and 23rd of March. Students<br />

were excited to compete on an artificial track after many years competing on grass following the<br />

earthquakes. We came away with twelve Canterbury titles including two relay titles.<br />

year’s International Olympiad Informatics. The<br />

International Olympiad Informatics is the most<br />

prestigious computer science competition in the<br />

world for secondary school students.<br />

The <strong>2019</strong> IOI will be a week-long competition held<br />

in Baku, Azerbaijan.<br />

Training for the Olympiad will include a ten day<br />

training camp in Sydney over the Easter holidays<br />

and a pre-departure camp before leaving for Baku<br />

in early August. The lead supervisor and mentor<br />

of the New Zealand delegation this year - Logan<br />

Glasson - is another Burnside graduate who in the<br />

past achieved great results in this competition.<br />

The team was formed through a highly competitive<br />

selection process. Students were first identified<br />

from various competitions last year and invited<br />

to attend an intensive training camp in January.<br />

Through several competitions, starting at the camp<br />

and continuing through February and March, the 30<br />

camp participants were narrowed down to the final<br />

team of four representing New Zealand.<br />

SPORTS<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

ST THOMAS of Canterbury<br />

College players had mixed<br />

emotions after two penalty<br />

shootouts at the New Zealand<br />

secondary schools futsal<br />

championships.<br />

Both the school’s senior and<br />

junior boys sides played grandfinals<br />

in the space of two hours<br />

at the tournament in Wellington<br />

after advancing through pool<br />

play and the knockout section.<br />

In the junior final, St Thomas<br />

and Wellington’s St Patrick’s<br />

College finished at 2-2 following<br />

normal and extra time.<br />

St Thomas then suffered<br />

heartbreak, losing the penalty<br />

shootout 3-2.<br />

“Our senior team were all<br />

watching the game, as soon<br />

as they lost on penalties they<br />

came on and got everyone in a<br />

big huddle and talked to them.<br />

Each of the senior players was<br />

comforting a junior player, it<br />

was pretty cool to see,” said St<br />

Thomas’ teacher Jacob Allen,<br />

who heaped praise on the teams<br />

coaches Shannen Vailuu and<br />

James Vallance.<br />

The senior team then turned<br />

around the school’s penalty<br />

fortunes. St Thomas opened the<br />

scoring in the senior final against<br />

Wellington’s Scots College<br />

CHAMPIONS:<br />

St Thomas’<br />

senior side<br />

celebrate<br />

winning the<br />

senior boys<br />

title at the<br />

New Zealand<br />

secondary<br />

schools futsal<br />

championships.<br />

Win and loss for St Thomas<br />

when Aashish Rai drove home<br />

a low free kick. They were then<br />

reduced to four players for 2min<br />

when Tom Stewart received a<br />

second yellow card, allowing<br />

Scots to equalise.<br />

Locked at 1-1 after normal and<br />

extra-time, St Thomas nailed<br />

their first two penalties, courtesy<br />

of Mika Rabuka and Seth<br />

Simpson.<br />

St Thomas’ goalkeeper then<br />

pulled off a huge save which<br />

allowed Rai to seal the win<br />

when he scored the team’s third<br />

penalty.<br />

Earlier in the tournament<br />

the senior girls title was won by<br />

Rangiora High School.<br />

Best ever result at<br />

national basketball<br />

tournament<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

ST THOMAS of Canterbury<br />

College’s junior 3 x 3 basketball<br />

team have created history by<br />

achieving the school’s greatest<br />

ever result at a national<br />

tournament.<br />

The team came within a<br />

whisker of claiming the title in<br />

Tauranga being pipped by Hastings<br />

Boys’ High School 13-15 in<br />

overtime after the schools were<br />

locked at 13-13 after regulation<br />

time.<br />

“To have success at the junior<br />

South Island tournament last<br />

year, and then follow that up at<br />

a national competition, means<br />

we are putting our school on<br />

the map,” said coach Neville<br />

Booker.<br />

The squad of Hunter Adam,<br />

ACCOMPLISHED<br />

St Thomas’ junior<br />

basketballers made<br />

school history by<br />

finishing second at<br />

the national 3 x 3<br />

secondary school<br />

tournament.<br />

Jack Coulthard, Louie Gordon,<br />

Hugo Gonzalez and Harvey<br />

Cogle got the week off to a great<br />

start winning six of their seven<br />

pool-play matches with a 10-15<br />

loss to Hamilton Boys’ High<br />

School their only blemish.<br />

In the quarter-final, they defeated<br />

Taupo-nui-a-Tia College<br />

14-11 and then turned around<br />

their pool play result to defeat<br />

Boys’ High School 12-6 in the<br />

semi-final.<br />

In the final St Thomas’ trailed<br />

by two with just seconds remaining<br />

in regulation time before<br />

Gonzalez hit a game-tying<br />

shot from long range. However,<br />

they were overcome in overtime.<br />

St Thomas’ also competed<br />

in the senior championship,<br />

finishing 14th.

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 />

Different parts of the car park<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 been 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 agree<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

“You can just about guarant e<br />

it . because we [the community<br />

areas,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />

the city council would endorse the<br />

“I’d like to think so because the<br />
