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.

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 

political spectrum. 

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 

Nursery for hosting Hon Scott 

Simpson, MP for Coromandel 

and National’s Environment 

Spokesperson, and me for a visit 

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 

MP and connecting with the women 

who are contributing across a range 

of platforms in the electorate. 

Our local businesspeople 

enjoyed an opportunity to get a 

closer look at Government’s new 

employment changes and to ask 

questions of Hon Scott Simpson, 

MP for Coromandel and National’s 

Spokesperson for Workplace 

Relations, at my Workplace 

Relations Business Lunch. We also 

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 


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. 

BATTERY RECYCLE TRIAL 

Eco Styx Mill and Papanui Mitre 

10 are two of seven locations 

which are part of a battery 

collection trial run by the city 

council. People can dispose of 

unwanted batteries safely in drop 

boxes at these locations so they 

can be recycled appropriately. 

Batteries from household devices, 

loose batteries, cellphone batteries 

and car batteries can be dropped 

off and will then be picked up by 

E-Cycle.

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 

May 21 from 5.30 until 7pm. 

The second session will be held 

at the Bishopdale Community 

Centre, 13 Bishopdale Court 

on May 23 from 10.30am until 

noon.

is currently out for 

consultation 

Shirley Bastin – I read the 

item about this intersection, and 

feel very strongly that it is important 

to state my opinion. I am 

100 per cent in favour of option 2, 

installing traffic lights. The other 

option sounds crazy. 

Brenda Hart – As a longtime 

resident of Crofton Rd, I 

would prefer traffic lights at the 

Breens/Harewood/Gardiners Rd 

intersection rather than the left 

turn option, as the traffic would 

divert on to Crofton Rd and 

certainly create another problem. 

Indeed something has to be done 

– this intersection is an accident 

waiting to happen. 

Diana Creighton – The 

Harewood/Gardiners Rd intersection 

needs traffic lights. I can 

barely believe the city council is 

considering the U-turn option. 

Gary Knight – Given the 

contentious issue of the volatile 

status of the Breens, Harewood 

and Gardiners Rds 

intersection, a sense of rationale 

must prevail to ensure that the 

correct solution to rectify the 

problem is activated. Making

left turns only, in and out of 

both Breens and Gardiners Rds, 

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 

Rd and Sawyers Arms Rd 

intersection work wonderfully 

well with no problem, even during 

busy periods in morning and 

evening traffic.

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 


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 


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 


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. 


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. 


TALENT: Greg Wilson and his son, Campbell Wilson, have both 

achieved success in their piping careers to date

Hailstone 

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 

and with confidence.

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 

in a world full of things from

other countries thousands of 

miles from New Zealand.” 

“That’s not to say there 

isn’t a place for work from 

overseas but we have such great 

material written by Kiwi’s 

and about our own country; 

we should share it as much as 

possible,” he said.

Community 

planting day 

successful 


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

“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.

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 

for over 40 years, their plastic bags are 

biodegradable and their coat-hangers are 

manufactured from recycled plastic which 

they encourage their customers to recycle and 

return. 

You can find them at 178 Papanui Road, 

where they are open six days a week (closed 

Sundays) or give them a call at 03 355 5942. 

They will be happy to help.

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. 

OPEN DAYS 

A supportive all-girl 

learning environment 

Selwyn House School offers a world-class 

education with a talented teaching staff 

and small class sizes which are set within a 

future-focused, nurturing environment. An 

extensive range of educational, sporting and 

cultural opportunities are offered for girls in 

Years 1 - 8. 

A supportive all-girl learning environment 

encourages girls to take risks without fear 

of failure and develops their love of learning. 

They become confident, compassionate, 

articulate and determined young women who 

have the values, skills, and attributes needed 

to not only achieve their goals but to make a 

difference in their communities. Our teachers 

ensure girls are inspired and committed to 

learning as they develop their unique way 

of learning and achieving. The focus across 

Years 1 - 8 is on the growth of the developing 

girl encompassing intellectual, social, physical, 

emotional, and cultural needs. 

Selwyn House is committed to providing a 

continuum of international education. The 

combination of the International Baccalaureate 

Primary Years Programme (PYP) and our 

future-focused STEAM and Mechatronics 

curriculum ensures girls are equipped to face 

a continually changing world with confidence 

and enthusiasm. We focus on instilling strong 

foundations which can be successfully built 

upon. Core learning in reading, writing and 

mathematics is a priority. Specialist programmes 

in Art, Creative Writing, Leadership, 

Mechatronics, Music, Performing Arts, 

Physical Education, Science, Spanish and 


Swimming play key roles to further enhancing 

learning. 

Selwyn House provides each girl with a 

personalised learning experience. Each classroom 

and specialist teacher has the time to 

foster meaningful relationships with each student. 

Due to our comprehensive learning environment, 

our girls are highly skilled, stand 

out among their peers and are prepared for a 

successful transition to secondary school. 

Selwyn House’s nurturing environment is 

apparent in all aspects of the school. In our 

modern and safe, family-oriented Boarding 

House, girls are supported by dedicated staff 

and tutors. Girls from across New Zealand 

and internationally fondly call the Boarding 

House, their ‘home away from home’ and easily 

form a sisterhood with others. 

We believe in the strength of tradition, the 

promise of the future and the power of education. 

For more information on the benefits of 

Selwyn House School, scholarship information

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

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

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 decision to paint double yellow 

lines on the stretch betw en 

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-

road’s na rowne s and general 

condition. 

The changes are designed to try 

and reduce the crash rate. 

Insta lation of the double

signs and raised centre line pavement 

markers wi l begin in mid 

April. 

The work i scheduled to take

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, 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 

title,” he said.

Winder was part of the Pure 

South Sharp Blacks team.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile 

traders acro s the districts could 

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to 

o pose the pla ned qua ry near 

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
