Public vocal about options
for contentious intersection
• By Jess Gibson
SUBMISSIONS HAVE come
crashing in on a proposal
to upgrade a contentious
Bishopdale intersection.
The city council received
261 public submissions
by 9am on Friday on two
options to improve safety at
the Breens, Harewood and
Gardiners Rds junction.
The feedback arrived
within the first four days of
the consultation opening
date. The closing date for
submissions is set for June 10.
To compare, the city
council received 247
submissions on its draft
Annual Plan over a month.
Harewood Ward city
councillor Aaron Keown
said the quick influx of
submissions was “a pretty
clear indication from the
public that they were well
and truly ready for this
consultation.”
Option one, which is
the city council’s preferred
option, is to make Gardiners
and Breens Rds a left-turn
in and left-turn out only
by closing the median on
Harewood Rd.

consultation out for the intersection of Breens, Harewood and Gardiners Rds.

TOO MUCH traffic and poor or tricky
intersections tend to get the gander up.
On page 1 today we explain why.
Submissions on the long running saga
over the Breens, Harweood, Gardiners
intersection have come flooding in.
Harewood Ward city councillor Aaron Keown has been
trying to get changes at the intersection for sometime now. I’m
sure it helped his campaign at the last local body elections – and
no doubt his unwavering commitment to the cause will assist
him again this time around.
Jamie, sorry James Gough, wants to sell off the library
buildings (page 5).
No doubt there will be strong views from both ends of the

But will he stand for mayor? I think he might.

Standing with our community
and attending the commemoration
services around the electorate
on ANZAC Day to honour those
who made the ultimate sacrifice
for our country is a part of my role
that I value. This, to me, is what
it means to be a New Zealander
- to acknowledge that what we
are today is built on the sacrifices
of those who came before. We
have learnt that peace may be
fragile but the spirit of those brave
soldiers remains.
Waimakariri electorate is well
served by our dedicated volunteer fire
men and women. It was a privilege
as local MP to visit local volunteer
fire men and women on International
Firefighters’ Day to say thank you
and to acknowledge their families and
employers, who also sacrifice their
time when the alarm goes.
Thank you to Belfast’s Zealandia

and National’s Environment

to be briefed on their systems
and technologies which reduce
energy use and keep waste to
exceptionally low levels. If your
place of work is doing something
you’re proud of, please get in touch
- I’d love to hear about it.
My Inspiring Women networking
lunch this month was well attended.
I enjoy hosting these events as local

heard from a business leader who
provided a business case of what
these changes would look like for
a local business. Attendees raised
a range of concerns, including a
loss of business confidence and
future job cuts.

Call for murals to prevent tags
• By Jess Gibson
A COMMUNITY board
member wants to see murals
replace graffiti in Papanui.
Papanui-Innes Community
Board member John Stringer
said he wants to prevent regularly
targeted surfaces by covering
them with art.
“I think it would be a really
constructive solution to make it
a feature of the community,” Mr
Stringer said.
Mr Stringer
suggested the city
council investigate
options for a
mural on the toilet
block wall at St
John
Stringer
James Park during
a board meeting
on Friday.
The request
came after two graffiti attacks at
the same site in a short period of
time.
Mr Stringer asked the city
council to paint over the graffiti
on the side of the toilet block two
weeks ago.
He said the city council
promptly painted over the
tags but the wall was struck
again “immediately” by a
similar tag before the paint had
dried.
A city council spokesperson
said graffiti has been covered at
UNSIGHTLY: The toilet block wall at St James Park was recently tagged. Soon after the graffiti
was painted over it was struck again with a similar tag.
St James Park five times in 12
months which has cost $1000.
“It’s disappointing to see this at
St James Park because it’s a really
nice area and we haven’t had a lot
of graffiti there, so I hope it’s not
an opening trend,” Mr Stringer
said.
Mr Stringer advocated for a
mural at Aratupu Preschool and
Nursery on Harewood Rd in
January.
“That site gets attacked all the
time.”
Staff have liaised with Aratupu
Preschool and Nursery and recommended
that the pre-school
applies for a funding grant
towards a mural.
Community board member Jo
Byrne asked that the city council
investigate a mural in the Innes
Ward on the back wall of the
Mairehau Library and one on the
power box near the library.
“It’s not in great condition so
we thought having something
nice would be good,” Ms Byrne
said.
She said the process is “early
days” but the community board
will continue to discuss the idea
with residents and library staff to
make sure everybody wants the
murals.
A city council spokesperson
said research suggests that painting
multi-coloured designs or
murals on surfaces will discourage
graffiti as tagging is more
difficult.
“Such mural projects, especially
when they involve local
artists, community groups and
high school students, have solved
many graffiti problems.”
The spokesperson said the cost
of a mural depends on the size
and how it is executed.
“It depends on who they are,
their experience and reputation
and whether or not they are
working with communities to
create the work, with material
and equipment hire costs usually
come on top of that,” the spokesperson
said.
“Roughly we say starting
around $80 per sq m for an artist
to develop and implement a
mural.”

CAR PARKS REMOVED
Ten car parks will be removed
on at the bend on Willowview
Drive to improve visibility. The
Papanui-Innes Community
Board approved the change
after residents raised safety
concerns about the area, which
is near the entrance to the Styx
River Conservation Reserve.
The changes will allow two-way
traffic flow through the bend
and improve sight lines for the
pedestrian crossing point on the
bend. The city council contacted
affected property owners and
residents were advised of the
recommended options and all
were in favour of the proposal.

Eco Styx Mill and Papanui Mitre

unwanted batteries safely in drop

and car batteries can be dropped
off and will then be picked up by

Meetings to discuss intersection
•From page 1
This option has an estimated
cost of $400,000 to implement
and the city council has stated it
will likely be eligible for funding
subsidy from the Government.
Option two is to install traffic
lights at the intersection.
The predicted cost of installing
traffic signals is $1.2 million and
would unlikely be eligible for
Government subsidies.
But city councillor Aaron Keown
said the budget is “not really
comparable.”
Cr Keown has been campaigning
to have traffic lights installed
at the intersection for three
years.
He said the preferred option
would introduce major issues by
cutting off Harewood Rd and
forcing people to drive around
the block or make dangerous
U-turns.
“The city council is putting 13
sets of brand new traffic lights on
one cycleway,” Cr Keown said.
“You can’t say we can’t afford it
when they are more than happy
to put that many traffic lights on
a cycleway.”
City councillor Phil Clearwater
said he had a view that there
were “far more” unsafe intersections
in Christchurch which
should be taken into account
when considering traffic light
installation.
“It’s extremely important that
in council we do our job to fix
[higher priority] ones first,” said
Cr Clearwater.
“However, I think it’s important
that I keep an open mind
when that consultation comes to
council,” he said.
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board chairman
Sam MacDonald said the
board has “continually advocated
for the city council to address the
dangers at the intersection.”
“We’re pleased to see traffic
lights as one of the options, but
we will wait to hear the views of
the community,” Mr MacDonald
said.
SAFETY
UPGRADE:
More than 260
submissions
were sent into
the city council
in relation to
a Bishopdale
intersection
in less than a
week.
The city council will hold two
public information sessions
which will start with a 20min
presentation, followed by the opportunity
to speak to the project
team.
The first session will be held at
Breens Intermediate School Hall
at 85 Breens Rd, Bishopdale, on

Shirley Bastin – I read the

would prefer traffic lights at the

turn option, as the traffic would
divert on to Crofton Rd and
certainly create another problem.

– this intersection is an accident

barely believe the city council is
considering the U-turn option.
Gary Knight – Given the

left turns only, in and out of

installation of a median strip disallowing
right turns from Harewood
Rd for motorists but allowing
it for buses would do little to
control the traffic volume at this
intersection.
The only realistic solution to also
avoid endangering pedestrians
with a crossing and potential crash
by motorists utilising a turning bay
is to make it a controlled intersection
by the installation of traffic
lights. This would make turning
in either direction from the three
roads a much safer option.
Bryan Lawrence – It will
be absolutely crazy to close the
median on Harewood Rd. The
only safe way is to install traffic
lights there.
The traffic lights at the Gardiners

intersection work wonderfully
well with no problem, even during

HAVE YOUR SAY: What do you think of James Gough’s
idea? Email your views to Jess.Gibson@starmedia.kiwi
Gough wants to look at selling libraries
• By Julia Evans
POTENTIAL mayoral candidate
and Fendalton Ward city
councillor James Gough wants to
investigate the possibility of selling
off libraries and service centres.
Cr Gough said a conversation
should be had over whether
suburban libraries and service
centres, excluding Turanga, would
be a better asset if they were sold
to private investors, with the city
council as long-term lease holders.
The value of city council’s library
and service centre network
is $65.3 million.
“It would realise significant
revenue in the short-term to
assist with paying down debt
and reducing rates – but it would
also be essential that council
expenditure is significantly
reduced too,” he said.
However, Cr Gough said it
would have to be paired with
pared back capital and operational
spending to have the best
outcome to reduce rates.
“The proposal would need to be
a hand-in-glove approach where
increased revenue in the shortterm
was coupled with a significant
reduction in capital and
operational spending as well.”
Cr Gough has been a proponent
of asset sales.
But in September the city
council voted against a proposed
review into how much could
ASSETS: (Clockwise) – Fendalton, Bishopdale, Shirley and Upper Riccarton libraries.
be made from selling stakes in
businesses such as the Lyttelton
Port Company and broadband
provider Enable.
It is a conversation starter echoed
by the Canterbury Employers’
Chamber of Commerce in its
submission to the city council’s

Annual Plan based off a similar
model in Perth.
“I think there are opportunities
for the council to take a good, hard
look at some of the assets that they
do own and work out whether
or not they need to own them or
whether there is a different model
for that operation,” chief executive
Leeann Watson said.
Ms Watson said it should be
looked at it on a case by case basis
– there should not be a “hard
and fast” model, which was supported
by Mayor Lianne Dalziel.
“I used the example of the
Linwood Library being in the
Eastgate Mall and the fact that
we jointly own this building with
Ngai Tahu,” Ms Dalziel said.
“It is enabling of people to
access the library in the same
hours that the mall is open.”
Cr Gough is considering running
for mayor.
“I’ll probably make an announcement
in the near future,”
he said.
The People’s Choice chairman
Keir Leslie, which opposes asset
sales, said libraries were a core
council business.
“The ideal that we would sell
off libraries in our own city . . .
would be a bad deal for the ratepayer
in the long run.”
Chase Commercial real estate
agent Brendan Chase said the
buildings would be “highly
saleable and sought after” with
a reliable and safe tenant in the
city council.
“The question to ask is are
those libraries going to be required
in the long-term, if they
are you’ll pay for them over and
over again,” Mr Chase said.
Cr Gough said the projected
rates increase of about 50 per
cent in the next 10 years is an
unsustainable “house of cards”
that would “epically fail.”
“Average incomes are not rising
anywhere near this quickly
so the system is fundamentally
broken.”

Association
to remain
informal
• By Jess Gibson
THE REDWOOD Business
and Residents’ Association will
remain informal until it gains
more momentum.
There were 16 attendees at
the group’s second meeting last
week, including business owners,
residents and Papanui-Innes
Community Board members.
Donna Brenssell was involved
in starting the association up last
month.
She said members would like
more people to get involved and
for the group to decide on specific
issues or goals they would
like to work on before officiating
the association. One issue which
was discussed at the meeting was
the lack of proposed planning
for Redwood in the city council’s
Long Term Plan.
Mrs Brenssell said the group
also thought about focussing on
the impact that the Northern
Corridor will have.
She said the group will continue
to meet monthly and will
appoint members to roles once
the group strengthens.
The next meeting will be
held on June 11 at 7pm at the
Christchurch Function Centre,
Redwood Hotel.
Bid to get fee dropped unlikely
• By Jess Gibson
A HAREWOOD couple may
have failed in their bid to have
an $1800 resource consent
fee waived over troublesome
trees.
Graeme and Diane Barber
have asked the city council
to drop the $1800 fee, so they
can apply to have six 16m oak
trees in Pasadena Reserve cut
down.
The couple who live in Cam Pl
have been battling the city council
for 10 years over the trees,
which they say block the sun to
their property and impact their
wellbeing.
But a response, which Mr
Barber received from the city
council last week, indicated that
a waiver was unlikely because
the trees are more than 10m tall
and in good health.
“There’s nothing in there that
gives me any hope there would
be a fee waiver,” he said.
“I’m not feeling very good
about it.”
Mr Barber wanted the fees
waived as he believed that paying
for the application put the blame
on residents for something that
was not their fault.
“The decisions that the city
council has made in the past
hasn’t considered other people in
the long term,” Mr Barber said.
He said when he shared
the information with his
neighbours, who are also
affected, their reaction was
“horror.”
“At this point in time,
everything is lumped on
the applicant who had no
responsibility in the decisionmaking
process and is feeling
guilty by association,” Mr Barber
said.
He said he will figure out how
to move forward in the coming
months.
But Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
chairman Sam MacDonald said
it was a “tricky situation” as the
waived fee would end up costing
ratepayers.
“We sympathise with Mr
Barber over the situation, but
the reality is that if there was
an exception to be made in
one case, ratepayers could end
up subsidising the removal of
trees right across the city,” Mr
BATTLE: Graeme
Barber asked the
city council to
drop a resource
consent fee so
he and his wife
Diane can apply
to have six oak
trees cut down.
MacDonald said.
“It’s not an easy situation at all.
“Down the line, there is
also paying for the actual trees
to be removed, which would
be bloody expensive,” Mr
MacDonald said.
The $1800 fee for resource
consent is only a deposit.
The final fees are the
actual costs of processing the
removal of the trees and there
may be a refund or a further
invoice.

Young piper to attend national and global competitions
• By Jess Gibson
Tuesday May 14 2019
A FULL-BLOWN line-up of
competitions is in store for
award-winning piper Campbell
Wilson.
The 16-year-old St Andrew’s
College student will
take part in the Colin Craig
Claidmeamh’mor solo piping
competition in Palmerston North
on Saturday.
The competition is an invitational
event for the top pipers in
New Zealand.
Campbell will then travel to
Dunedin two weeks later to
compete in the annual Queen’s
Birthday solo competitions,
where he will compete in the A
grade.
After that, his skills will take
him to Scotland in August
to compete in under-18
and under-23 age groups of
competition in Oban and
Inverness.
Campbell said he is “very excited”
to return to Scotland.
He has been once before
when he competed with the St
Andrew’s College Pipe Band at
the World Pipe Band Championships
and stayed on for two weeks
afterwards to compete in solo
competitions.
Since Campbell began piping
when he was nine-years-old, he
has achieved a long list of highlights
in his career.
He made history at the
Hastings Highland Games
in April when he became the
youngest ever winner of the
New Zealand Gold Medal for
Piobaireachd.
Campbell was named New
Zealand Young Piper of the Year
in October, is titled the youngest
ever winner of the Silver Chanter
March, Strathspey and Reel event
and won the under-21 New Zealand
Championship Hornpipe
and Jig in January.
During his Scotland trip in
August, Campbell will be travelling
his father, Greg Wilson, who
doubles as his tutor.
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
Mr Wilson is classified as one
of the top pipers in the world.
He has won 14 Gold Clasp
Piobaireachd competitions – an
event which pipers can only
compete in if they have won the
New Zealand Gold Medal for
Piobaireachd.
Mr Wilson has also had victory
at Bratach Gorm in London
three times, has won the premier
double march, Strathspey and
Reel multiple times, and has also
been New Zealand Solo Piping
Champion on multiple occasions,
to name a few.
“I am very grateful for the opportunity
to travel such a great
distance doing what I love with
my number one role model. He
is a world class piper, and he is
an absolutely wonderful teacher,”
Campbell said.
Mr Wilson said it is “very satisfying”
seeing Campbell do well
at piping.
“I’m absolutely proud of him,
he’s done very well from a young
age,” said Mr Wilson.

writes about
how Mother’s Day began
History tells us celebrations
related to mothers have existed
throughout the world for
thousands of years, though
the Christian celebration of
Mothering Sunday was more
about the mother church than a
celebration of women.
What is probably unknown is
the woman who campaigned for
our modern version of Mother’s
Day would later denounce the
commercialisation of this event.
It took Anna Jarvis six years of
campaigning in the United States
to have a day set aside to honour

mothers or as she put it, “the person
who has done more for you
than anyone else in the world.”
Her own mother, Ann Reeves
Jarvis, had been a peace activist
caring for the wounded in the
Civil War no matter their politics
or which side they fought for.
Then after the war, she began
clubs to address public health
issues and helping women to
knowledgeably care for their children.
When her mother passed
away Anna realised, in spite of
the positive impact women have
on society, their work for their
children and the community was
often overlooked.
Anna’s Mother’s Day was not a
commercial event, but was about
celebrating the achievements of
women and further reminding
them of their power and what
can be accomplished when
women and mothers come
together for a good cause.

value of Anna’s message.
Mother’s Day has become
a date for launching political
causes. The wife of Martin Luther
King, Coretta used Mother’s
Day in 1968 to host a march
in support of underprivileged
women and children.
Then in the 1970s women’s
groups gathered on this day to
highlight the need for equal
rights for women and access to
child care. On Friday at 12.30pm,
Christchurch Women’s Club
Toastmasters is holding an open
day at the Village Church on the
corner of Frank St and Papanui
Rd to celebrate the influence of
mothers and women in our lives.
CWC Toastmasters supports
women to succeed in any
venture giving them the skills to
communicate their vision clearly

Additional
car parks
in Papanui
REDUNDANT BUS stops in
Papanui will be replaced by car
parks.
The Papanui-Innes Community
Board approved the
installation of 10min parks on
Langdons Rd outside Papanui
High School and 120min parks
on Chapel St north of Harewood
Rd on Friday.
The city council proposed
the changes after a bus route
changed and no longer used the
roads.
The report said additional
parking would benefit people
using Papanui Library, Papanui
High School and Northlands
Shopping Centre. It also said the
additional 120min parks would
benefit nearby businesses.
Papanui High School representatives
were advised of the
recommended option and supported
the proposal.
No consultation with was undertaken
with property owners
on Chapel St before the decision
was made, but they will now
be informed of the approved
changes.
The parks will be installed
around four weeks after a
contractor receives the request.
Rangi Ruru students in raucous production
TWENTY-SIX Rangi Ruru Girl’s
School students will take on the
roles of 40 different characters
in the upcoming high-energy
production Wheeler’s Luck.
The first showing of the 80min
theatre piece is tomorrow at
7.30pm at the Merivale Lane
theatre and will run every night
at the same time until Saturday.
Lying somewhere between
Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk
Wood and the Ian Mune film
Came A Hot Friday, Wheeler’s
Luck is a raucous tale of the
battle between preservation and
development in a small rural seaside
community.
When local landowner, Nora
Cox dies, leaving her prime
coastal property to the people
of the small town of Cox Point,
Mayor Duncan Sanderson,
enlists a developer to build a golf
course and casino on her land.
When postie and environmentalist
Sharon Dickle discovers
that Nora left the point to all the
residents, she begins a campaign
to preserve Nora’s place as a bird
sanctuary.
Year 13 student, Sarah Lawrence,
who plays Lydia Cox, was
accepted into the Court Theatre
Youth Company at the end of last
year.
She is also the regional representative
at the Sheilah Winn
National Shakespeare Schools’
Production, workshops and
performances in Wellington this
September.
Year 13 student and head girl,
Rachel McSweeney, will play
Johnny Wheeler.
However, there are no “leads”
in this production.
“It’s a true ensemble cast,”
Sarah said.
“No one character is on stage
any more than another.”
Sarah said the time commitment
from everyone is significant,
including rehearsing during
the recent school holidays.
With extra involvement in a
number of orchestral groups,
Sarah said she “doesn’t sleep
much.”
“I would rather be doing this
during the holidays though; it’s
what I love.”
Rangi Ruru’s director of
theatre arts, Peter Rutherford,
said presenting New Zealand
work is important to him and the
students.
“We hear our own voices, see
our own history and characters,”
he said.
“I think that’s really important

“That’s not to say there
isn’t a place for work from
overseas but we have such great
material written by Kiwi’s

we should share it as much as
possible,” he said.

planting day
successful
• By Jess Gibson
MORE THAN 1500 native trees
and shrubs were planted in the
Styx Mill Conservation Reserve in
Northwood last Sunday.
About 120 people volunteered
for the community planting run
by Trees for Canterbury, including
students, park rangers, members
of the Styx Living Laboratory
Trust, a scout group and residents.
Trees for Canterbury project
co-ordinator Robin Stove said the
day went “fantastically.”
“It was great having people
from diverse backgrounds there,”
he said.
The main large species planted
were Kahikatea and Totara
trees and there was a mixture of
smaller trees like Ribbonwood,
Lacebark, Flax and Cabbage trees,
among others.
The seedlings were all sourced
and donated by Trees for
Canterbury, who gather the native
tree species from areas such as
Riccarton Bush.
Trees for Canterbury has been
planting in the reserve, as well as
other sites, for about 20 years as
part of a regeneration project to
plant two million native trees in
Canterbury.

Former UC stars represent New Zealand
• By Gordon Findlater
FORMER ST Andrew’s College
hooker Shilo Klein and former
Christ’s College centre Dallas
McLeod have both been selected
to represent the New Zealand
side at next month’s World
Rugby Under-20 Championship.
The pair were named in the
squad to travel to Argentina to
play in the tournament along
with five other Crusaders region
players – Cullen Grace, Leicester
Faingaanuku, Fergus Burke,
Fletcher Newell and Tamaiti
Williams.
Klein and McLeod both learnt
of their selection following
their second place finish
at the Oceania Rugby U20
Championship in Australia
earlier this month.
“You work for a long time
to try to give yourself an
opportunity like this. To get it
you’re proud and I’m just really
grateful to all the people who
have helped me get to this point.
I’m really excited to try and put
in some performances that I
can be really proud of,” said
Klein.
The 20-year-old pointed out
his coaches at St Andrew’s as
the major influence in installing
a belief he could achieve big
things in rugby if he put his
mind to it.
“Year 13 was a bit of a turning
point for me. I decided I was
going to put my foot down and
really have a crack at it,” he said.
The High School Old Boys
player got his first taste of rugby
at the Sumner club before
attending St Andrew’s. His drive
to succeed is something he hopes
will go well beyond the U20
world cup.
“It’s a dream of mine to be a
Crusader and be an All Black,
they’re always long term goals
that I keep in the back of my
head because they motivate me
to get up every day and train.”
Meanwhile, McLeod’s roots
lay in Methven. The 20-year-old
played for the Methven club
before receiving a scholarship to
play at Christ’s in his final year of
secondary school.
“That definitely helped and
then getting the opportunity to
get into the Crusaders academy
is probably the main thing that’s
helped me get access to good
coaches and to have a lot of
other people around me who are
chasing the same thing,” said
McLeod.
Last year, McLeod was named
Canterbury’s under-19 player of
the year.
The New Zealand squad will
assemble in Mount Maunganui
on May 26 before departing to

Merivale.
So much Moore than
just a drycleaners
Moores Drycleaners on Papanui Road
is so much more than just a drycleaning
business - it is part of the fabric of Merivale
itself. Their terrific customer service,
expertise and highly-professional standards
have seen them succeed on the same spot
for over half a century. In fact, it is the
oldest business still operating in the same
location in Merivale, and also is the oldest
family-owned and operated drycleaners
in the whole of
Canterbury.
What makes it
such a local success?
Owner Greg Moore’s
father began Moores
Drycleaning back in
1961 and Greg joined
him straight out of
school. Having been
there ever since, his
own knowledge is
unparalleled, and it is
the focus on meeting
the needs of customers
that makes them stand
out. These days, his daughter has joined the
team, making her the third generation to work
in the business.
Their focus is on providing a terrific
service to local clients and meeting all their
drycleaning needs. Whether you are spring
cleaning and want to freshen up all your
drapes, duvets and bedding, or have toughto-remove
spots, they are on hand to help.
They will make sure that garments such as
suits and dresses look as good as new when
they return them to you, and they are experts
at working with delicate fabrics in evening
gowns and cocktail dresses. They are also
the go-to drycleaners for wedding dresses,
recommended by many of the region’s bridal
salons to their new brides. In fact, they are
just about the largest drycleaners for wedding
dresses in the south island.
In spite of their long tradition in this
industry, Moores Drycleaning have moved
with the times. They now have an ecocleaning
machine which uses a solution of
plant extracts as its cleaning agent which is
far friendlier to the environment. In fact,
they have been leading greener approaches
to drycleaning as they have been recycling

Tennis scholarship for
Burnside HS student
SPORT
SIX YEARS of
determination and hard
work has paid off for
14-year-old tennis player
Alkmini Giannakogiorgou
of Papanui.
The year 10 Burnside
High School student has
been awarded a $1000
scholarship by the Burnside
Park Tennis Club for
showing potential and
demonstrating positive
values.
The junior scholarship is
a way to acknowledge New
Zealand ranked junior
members and give them
an opportunity to travel to
gain further experiences.
“Tennis was the only
sport that wasn’t driven
by my desire to win but
by the way it made me feel
when I was on the court.
Jeff Brightwell, my tennis
coach, gave me a real sense
of purpose including setting
small goals along the
way,” Alkmini said.
Alkmini practices for
four hours daily, which
has earned results including
placing fourth at the
nationals, being selected
for Canterbury representative
teams and winning
regional tournaments.
Later this year she
plans to take her tennis
to another level as she
travels to Germany with
her coach to train and play
on clay.
“By learning to play on a
different surface and train
with a different intensity I
will be opened up to new
aspects of the game that
will improve my playing
style,” Alkmini said.
“I love this sport with
all my heart and I am determined
to keep pushing
myself as far as I can go,”
she said.
DETERMINED: Year
10 Burnside High
School student Alkmini
Giannakogiorgou’s
hard work paid of at a
recent tournament in
Wellington, where she
won the 16 and under
girls category.

SCHOLARSHIPS & SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
All new for Avonside
at Ōrua Paeroa
A new school, a
new location, and a
new uniform! What
a fabulous year for
Avonside Girls’ High
school as a new
chapter in the school’s
90 plus year history
is written this year.
Avonside Girls’ High
School moved into its new home on
Travis Road at the beginning of term
2, taking its traditions, culture, history
and values along with a focus on
working with every student to help her
identify her strengths and develop her
talents so that she can flourish in her
future.
Just over 1000 girls moved onto the
new site in Travis Road to experience
learning in New Zealand’s newest
secondary school buildings. The
campus which also includes a satellite
unit of Ferndale School, is New
Zealand’s first ever co-location of a state
girls’ school and a state boys’ school
sharing the same site and some key
facilities and yet delivering teaching
and learning within their own singlesex
learning environments.
One look inside the impressive
entrance foyer reveals an exciting
campus with fabulous facilities to
enhance learning for students.
In the front section of the school
lie the shared facilities, boasting the
reception and administrative centre
for both schools, a spacious library, a
cultural space, two theatres, a cafeteria
with indoor and outdoor seating, and
student kitchen facilities alongside a
commercial kitchen for teaching senior
Hospitality courses.
The design of the school then
separates into two separate schools each
designed around its own courtyard.
The school is organised by learning
areas, denoting the school’s support
of subject discipline knowledge
and skills, yet with adjacencies that
provide opportunities for learning to
be connected across learning areas for
students.
Avonside supports the development
of the whole student with a strong
ako programme delivered within a
vertical form structure and wonderful
opportunities for involvement beyond
classroom learning time. The superb
facilities in the new campus certainly
enhance those opportunities for our
students.
Avonside Girls’ High School has
embraced this opportunity to provide
this exciting new brand of 21st century
style single-sex education – the best of
both worlds!
We welcome interested students and
their families to come and visit the
campus on our Open Night.
Shirley Boys’ High
School at Ōrua Paeroa
Finally after 8 years of
unstinting effort, Shirley
Boys’ is in its new home,
one that features state
of the art facilities for
teaching and learning in
the 21st Century.
The new campus
features a Performing
Arts Centre, full size all
weather turf, sports fields, the largest school
gymnasium in the city as well as traditional
classrooms and modern flexible spaces
designed to meet the needs of all of its 1250
young Shirley men.
Shirley Boys’ High School,
Kiwi Soul Global Vision
At Shirley Boys’ High School, students
are encouraged to participate in a vast
array of sporting and cultural activities
and in all of these areas they are expected
to prepare themselves for action and
success on the world stage, while also
being encouraged to retain and strengthen
their own cultural roots.
Shirley Boys’ High School encourages
students to strive for personal excellence.
Learning occurs both inside and outside
the classroom, reflecting the desire of the
school to focus on teaching the whole
person to ensure a lifelong desire for
self-improvement. At Shirley Boys’ this
is known as “BTB – Better than Before”.
BTB leads to achievement, which can
be as modest as getting fit for a sport or
improving a test score or learning to sing
in a choir. BTB can also be as spectacular
as achieving a Premier New Zealand
Academic Scholar Award (awarded to the
Top 10 academic students in NZ).
We look forward to welcoming
prospective students and families to our
Open Night, Thursday 23 May at 6.30-
8.30pm.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS
Tyres, rims and even
great coffee
Word of mouth is the best
recommendation for any business, and there
is a raft of customers happy to recommend
JCM Direct Tyres in Middleton. The
independent, family-owned and operated
business supplies tyres, mags and rims and
it is clear from their feedback that they
provide ‘outstanding customer service,’
‘really know what they are doing,’ and even
provide ‘tasty coffee.’
Reviews like these are hard-won, with
the emphasis being on making sure they
go the extra mile to really meet the needs
of the client. As an independent dealer,
they are not tied to a specific brand.
Instead, they will look at your vehicle,
your budget and your driving style to
provide you with what you need instead
of what the franchise wants you to have.
This can be brand new tyres such as Pirelli,
Continental, GT Radial and Nankang, or
high end, almost-new second hand tyres
in mint condition, often the same brand
names as the new options. The JCM team
wants to know their customers are leaving
them with their vehicles, from caravans to
European
Car Owners

utes, that are safe on the roads.
They will give you their honest opinion
and expertise about what you need too.
It could be more cost effective in the long
run to spend a little more a quality tyre and
reduce the risk of punctures on the Garden
City’s rebuild roads, and if you do have a
puncture, they can repair it quickly and
efficiently.
It is not only tyres – they supply rims
from the 1930s to the present day. If you
are lucky enough to own a classic vehicle,
you will know how difficult it can be to
find authentic parts, and the JCM team will
help you source what you need.
They also provide alloy wheels, spare
wheels plus wheel and tyre combo packages
to make their excellent products even more
affordable. They are even able to help you
with finance options.
Open six days a week, you can find
them at 8c Birmingham Drive on the
corner with Hands Road. Check them
out on Facebook.com/JCMDirect, or
visit JCMDirect.co.nz to see what their
family can do to help your family.

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.”

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 NEW 60km/h sp ed limit and

The sp ed limit change was
a proved by the city counci last
w ek.
A decision to paint double yellow

Summit Rd and the Sign of the

Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board.
But the Banks Peninsula Community
Board decided against
ye low lines on the Summit Rd-
Governors Bay section due to the
road’s na rowne s and general
condition.
The changes are designed to try
and reduce the crash rate.
Insta lation of the double

markers wi l begin in mid

A WOOLSTON butcher proved
to be a cut above the rest in an

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

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, seeing 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

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

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za

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.

Mr Winder and his team, the

He said the cha lenge started

seven years ago.
The preparation for this

was intense as the team
members met in Auckland

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.
