decorated a hoarding around the New Brighton hot salt water pools site. She painted her teacher Kurt Soares (right). New

BRIAN WARD wants to track
down a man who he says helped
to save his life.
Last Tuesday, the 68-year-old
was returning home to Shirley
after a biopsy at Christchurch
Hospital on the No 60
Hillmorton to Southshore bus
with his wife Glenys Ward.
Said Mr Ward: “I completely
went out to it. Everything was all
white.”
Mr Ward stooped in his seat,
nearly falling to the ground.
Mrs Ward tried to support
him, but couldn’t do this by
herself.
This was when a man in
his mid-20s, who Mrs Ward
remembered as having a black
cap, facial hair, a partner and two
young toddlers, came to her aid,
helped to stop Mr Ward from
falling, get to his feet and back to
consciousness.

from the editor’s desk
THE LOCAL body election battle is
starting to heat up in the eastern suburbs.
Last week we revealed businessman Phil
Mauger will make a bid to topple longstanding
Burwood Ward councillor Glenn
Livingstone.
Today on page 5, we report on another hopeful who has
his sights set on council. Kelly Barber is having a crack at the
Coastal Ward, held by another long-time councillor David East.
Nominations for council and community board positions
formally open on July 19, so it is highly likely other contenders
will also join the race.
Mauger lives in Avonhead, a fair way from the Burwood
Ward, and Barber is in Prestons, outside of the Coastal Ward.
That situation could be an Achilles heel for both.

Fire rages, homes at risk
DAVID EAST RESIGNATION
City councillor David East has
resigned as the Coastal-Burwood
Community Board liaison to
the South Brighton Residents’
Association. He left the role due
to personal commitments. No
decision has been made on his
replacement.
STOLEN: Security camera footage of the caravan being stolen from a property on Pages Rd in Aranui. The caravan’s owner
Bevan Allington has received Facebook messages possibly from the thieves.
Caravan ransom attempt after theft
• By Matt Slaughter
AN ARANUI man had a
caravan stolen from his property
then received Facebook messages
urging him to buy it back.
After Bevan Allington posted
security camera footage of two
men in hi-vis vests going onto
his Pages Rd property and taking
the 1977 Zephyr caravan, he
started receiving messages.
Mr Allington had also asked
for information about the
whereabouts of the caravan.
Said the messages from an
account called Robin: “I can tell
you what you need to know but
it comes at a price and it’s not
cheap. Has to be now, you have
to be alone and I’m not far from
you.”
“You’ve only got until 10 past
10 to call me and until 20 past
10 to get to me,” said the next
message.” He then received
messages later that night from a
woman who said she had heard
the caravan was being offered for
$2000, but did not want to report
this to police for safety reasons.
Mr Allington did not reply to
any of the messages from Robin.
Robin then tried to call Mr
Allington seven times through
Facebook messenger. He didn’t
answer. Police are investigating
the theft and say they are
following leads.
•Anyone with
information should phone
the police on 363 7400
or Crimestoppers anonymously
on 0800 555 111.
GRANTS HANDED OUT
The Ōtautahi Rugby Club has
received $3000 to go towards a new
car park adjacent to Bower Park on
New Brighton Rd. It will provide
safer parking for families, supporters
and visiting teams. A $1696
grant was also given to Scouting
New Zealand Burwood to insure its
clubrooms on Travis Rd. The grants
were from the Coastal-Burwood
Community Board discretionary
response fund.

Barber enters different kind of race
Fire rages, homes at risk
Gearing up
to run for
Coastal seat
• Matt Slaughter
KELLY BARBER is no stranger
to running – but the 15-time
Coast to Coast competitor
is about to enter a race of a
different kind.
The 55-year-old medical
supplies salesman from Prestons
will challenge incumbent
Coastal Ward city
councillor David
East in October’s
local body
elections.
Last week
Pegasus Post
David East
reported
well-known
businessman, independent
candidate Phil Mauger, will run
against incumbent Burwood
Ward People’s Choice city
councillor Glenn Livingstone.
Mr Barber will also run for
a seat on the Coastal-Burwood
Community Board if he misses
out on the city council seat.
Mr Barber, who will campaign
under the People’s Choice
YOU DECIDE: Kelly Barber will run for the Coastal Ward city
council seat in October’s local body elections.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
banner, said he wants to bring
a more personable approach to
the ward and make listening to
residents his No 1 priority.
“I’m not sure that the people
are being heard. I think I would
look to have higher visibility to
represent what the people of the
east want on council,” he said.
He said the Coastal Ward has
been a sports playground for him
for 35 years and it should become
more of a hub for outdoor events.
He would start by advocating
for the City2Surf route to be
adjusted so it runs through New
Brighton.
“Our City2Surf should be back
to Brighton,” he said.
“I’ve been all over the South
Island, all over New Zealand
to multi-sport races and why
do I visit these places? Because
there’s a multi-sport race on.
So if there’s something on in
Brighton, the people will go to
it, it will bring people in, it will
bring life to the place.”
Mr Barber said protecting the
area’s environment from the
effects of climate change is also
crucial.
“There’s going to be a lot of
talk about sea level rise and that
sort of thing in the future and I
think that needs to be managed
really well, particularly for the
people of Southshore.”
He also said challenging
people’s perceptions around New
Brighton requires faster, more
open-minded decision-making.
Mr Barber said it will be a
challenge to beat Cr East, who
has been at the city council table
for two terms.
Cr East received 7470 votes in
2013 when he was first voted in
and retained his seat again in
2016 with 2951 votes.
Cr East said he has the
experience to ensure progress
continues to be made in the
ward.
“I would like to think that in
my time representing this area
that I have been instrumental in
achieving some good outcomes
for the ward and I’ve got a bit of
unfinished business that I really
want to carry on with.”
He said his unfinished
business includes fixing roads,
taking a serious, but sensible,
approach towards the risks
posed by rising sea levels and
continuing to develop new
community facilities and ensure
existing facilities are being used.
Mr Barber said his experience
working with people in sales
means he will bring a new level
of communication skills to the
role.
Last week Cr Livingstone told
Pegasus Post Mr Mauger could
not do justice to the role living
outside of the Burwood Ward in
Avonhead.
However, Cr East has no
concerns over Mr Barber living
in Prestons. “It’s part of the
community board sort of area
and there are plenty of examples
of people that have been elected
in an area and don’t live in it,”
said Cr East.
Mr Barber’s great grandfather
Daniel Giles Sullivan was a city
councillor from 1915-1923 and
1925-1931, and Christchurch
mayor from 1931-1936. He was
also the Avon MP in the Labour
Government from 1919-1947
and minister of railways from
1935-1941.

Readers respond to the
Pegasus Post article on
Avonhead resident and
well-known businessman
Phil Mauger’s decision to
run against Burwood city
councillor Glenn Livingstone
in the upcoming local body
elections in October
Neil Langdon – Shouldn’t be
allowed to run if you don’t live in
the ward.
Alison Smith – Way to go Phil
as you say your roots were on the
east as were mine and we live in
Rolleston now. But that does not
stop me ever thinking or caring
about what is happening in the
east. You would be a great city
councillor, all the best.
Wendy Davie – Fantastic
news here’s to more like Phil
running for council.
Jennifer Dalziel – He lives
in Avonhead and wants to stand
in Burwood Ward? We don’t like
carpetbaggers in the east. If he
cares so much about Burwood why
doesn’t he live there?
Ivan Dane – Hmmmm, a
contractor who has heard about
$800 million to be spent on red
zone land. What to do . . .
Tony Howell – Good on you
Phil. Too many whingers and not
enough actually standing up and
trying to fix the issues.
Chrissi Tukaki – Why would
he want to try to oust one of the
more pro-active members when
there are others that don’t know
their left hand from their right?
Heather Wilkins – It’s a bit
like entering Parliament. They
think they will do miracles and
when they get there they realise
it’s actually harder than what they
thought.
Don Gould – More candidates,
more choice, this is excellent news.
Readers respond to the
Pegasus Post article last
week on the city council
taking over the Southshore
and South New Brighton
regeneration plan
Aileen Trist – The Southshore
and South New Brighton
communities have always known
what needs to be done for their
Estuary protection but have felt
the city council and Government
have been leading them up
the garden path from day one
regarding the work needed along
the Estuary edge surrounding
their community. I for one have
seen their actions in the past as
hoping Mother Nature would sort
it out on their behalf with no cost
to them. With positive progress
forward, it is time to get this job
done.
Driver, passenger praised
•From page 1
Mr Ward said he was
incredibly grateful for the man’s
actions and without them, he
could have died.
“I just really want to track him
down. I want to say a big thank
you to him . . . he could have
saved my life then, big time.
“I think I was at the point of
no return, I was halfway up to
you know where . . . I saw all of
these lights.”
Mr Ward also praised the actions
of the driver who stopped
the bus and helped. He met with
the driver on Friday to express
his gratitude and see if he could
help with finding the mystery
man.
Mr Ward said he had been diagnosed
with low blood pressure
in his 40s and in spite of having
health scares in the past, had
never had anything that had felt
this serious.
When Mr Ward regained consciousness,
he was helped across
Marshland Rd by the man and
Mrs Ward, just a short distance
from his home.
Once home Mrs Ward said she
was going to call an ambulance,
but Mr Ward’s blood pressure
had returned to normal.
In spite of this, at the time of
Mr Ward’s episode, Mrs Ward
GRATEFUL: Brian Ward and his wife Glenys want to track
down a man who they believe saved his life after he lost
consciousness on a bus last Tuesday.
said the worst could have happened
if it wasn’t for the actions
of the mystery man and the
driver.
“If it hadn’t been for his support
and the driver’s I don’t
know what I would have done if
I was by myself.”
Mrs Ward said everything had
happened so fast, getting the
names of the people who had
helped her husband was the last
thing on her mind.
The couple wanted Mr Ward’s
mystery helper and his family
to contact them on 027 662 2121
so they could thank them in
person.

Murals a ‘win-win for whole community’
•From page 1
Development Christchurch
Ltd chief executive Rob Hall
said creating an artwork
on the construction fence
was a great way to get the
community’s schools involved
in the hot pools project
and give them a true “New
Brighton” look.
“It’s great to see so many
local school children making
their mark on what is set to
be a fantastic local facility. We
also know that using artwork
on construction hoardings can
reduce vandalism and graffiti,
so we saw the event as a winwin
for the whole community.
“The finished product was
a fun, interactive mural that
was putting smiles on the faces
of the people involved and
passers-by even before it was
finished,” Mr Hall said.
Coastal Burwood Community
Board chairwoman Kim
Money said both murals were
“very New Brighton.”
“We’re looking at uses for
the Marine Pde mural after
construction is finished as well
as the children’s mural.
“It’s such a funky
construction site fence,
and fringes the beachside
playground beautifully.”

New school campus open day
The community had a
chance to check out
the new Shirley Boys’
High and Avonside Girls’
High combined campus
last Sunday. About
2000 people had a look
inside the new buildings
and around the
grounds. The 750-seat
performing arts centre,
physical education
spaces and modern
learning facilities were
all on show.
ACTION: The design for the $22 million pool and community
facility on the corner of Smith St and Linwood Ave has been
approved. ​
Linwood Pool design signed off
• By Matt Slaughter
A CONCEPT design for the
new $22 million Linwood Pool
complex has been approved.
The site is set to open in late
2021. The facility, which was
signed off by the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board, will be built on the
corner of Smith St and Linwood
Ave. It will include a 25m lane
pool, deep-water pool with an
area for jumping off, family spa
pool, learn to swim pool, toddler
pool and a water deck.
There will also be an outdoor
community space with a
gathering area, picnic tables,
tennis and multi-use courts,
cycle stands and car parks.
The facility will be integrated
with Linwood Park and
offer a range of indoor and
outdoor recreational activities.
Community meeting rooms and
a kitchen will also be included in
the design.
Linwood Ward city
councillor Yani Johanson
said conversations about the
possibility
of building a
facility like this
in Linwood had
been happening
for about 20
years.
It would be a
great asset for
the community
once it was
Yani
Johanson
constructed, Cr Johanson said.
“It does point to a really
significant investment into a
community that certainly has
been overdue for it.”

spoilt for
choice
Locals loving the new
café in Pages Rd
A new café with an intriguing name,
which opened just a few weeks ago in
Pages Road, is creating quite a buzz in the
neighbourhood.
Owned and run by local resident
Julieanne, Rubys Girls Café is named for her
mother, who was always by her side through
difficult times, and her grandmother, and
Julieanne also uses many of their recipes
for the café’s food.
Julieanne managed the Mobil service
station across the road from the café for
many years, and got to know the community
well. Wanting a change, she looked at
starting her own business with the aim of
providing something local people could
benefit from and enjoy.
As luck would have it, premises in the
block of shops at 317 Pages Road became
available, and they were ideal for her plans
to open a cafe.
“I loved the outside area, the car parking,
and that my family was just around the
corner,” she says.
Inside, the café is spacious, light and
welcoming, with tables and chairs and a
lounge area, as well as colourful tables and
chairs for the children.
All the food, apart from the sandwich
bread, is made on the premises. The
selection includes freshly made sandwiches,
pies, savouries, pizzas, muffins, biscuits,
slices, cheesecake and donuts, while drinks
include barista coffee, a selection of teas
including herbal and chilled soft drinks –
and the customers are loving it.
To quote Kate and Stacey, there enjoying
coffee and a treat, “The food is so good!”
In fact, customers have nominated Rubys
Girls Cafe for the ‘Best steak and cheese pie’
in the Hits Radio competition.
“We are so honoured that people choose
to come here, when there
are so many eating places
around,” Julieanne says.
“We want to be a ‘home
away from home’ where
people can come for a
coffee and a chat with
their friends. On pension
day, we have ‘buy one
coffee and get one free’ for
Gold Card holders.”
Rubys Girls Café also offers outside
catering, for family events such as birthday
parties, engagement parties and funerals,
and the premises can also be hired in the
evenings for meetings. To enquire, phone
027 257 1062, or email rubysgirlscafe@
gmail.com.
Rubys Girls Café, 317 Pages Rd, on the
Breezes Rd corner, is open 7am-3pm
Monday to Friday and 9am-1pm Saturday.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Drainage scheme reduces flood risk
• By Matt Slaughter
STUDENTS FROM Haeata
Community Campus, Linwood
College and Marian College
received Duke of Edinburgh’s
International Awards.
In total, 24 students from
the schools were honoured at a
ceremony last Monday, 11 from
Linwood, 10 from Marian and
three from Haeata.
The students received
their awards for the hours
of work and activities they
had completed within their
communities.
These hours were committed
to things like physical activity,
sports coaching, volunteer work
including working in community
gardens and helping
the elderly and mentoring and
leadership.
The awards are run by
the Joshua Foundation, an
organisation, which provides
programmes for them to fulfil
ambitions and dreams through
leadership, competence, courage,
clarity and integrity and
character.
Burwood Ward city
councillor Glenn Livingstone
spoke at the awards,
congratulating the students on
their achievements.
“Recipients, you have built
A $19 MILLION land drainage
scheme has reduced the flood risk
for dozens of properties in the
Woolston and Linwood area.
Thousands of native trees and
plants have been planted in Te
Oranga Waikura Urban Forest,
which sits off Ferry Rd and covers
2.75ha.
The forest, which is open to the
public, acts as a storage basin in
heavy rain events, reducing the
frequency and severity of flooding
in the surrounding area.
As part of the flood mitigation
work, Bells Creek has also
been realigned and naturalised
through Linwood College.
The realignment of the creek
means Linwood College has
additional buildable land that it
can use to accommodate future
growth.
The sports field at Edmonds
Park can also be used as a stormwater
basin.
It has been excavated by about
1m to form a stormwater basin,
which can be used to store excess
water when it rains heavily.
A new stormwater pump
station has also been built in
Richardson Tce.
Its recent commissioning
marks the completion of the Bells
Creek flood mitigation work.
The pump station is important
because it allows the catchment
to drain when water levels in the
Heathcote River are high, city
council land drainage manager
Keith Davison said.
“Without the pump station,
the existing gravity outfall
cannot discharge water from the
catchment until the water level in
the Heathcote drops lower than
the outfall pipe, which means
water backs up in the catchment
causing flooding.”
AWARD-WINNERS: (Back row) – Duke of Edinburgh’s Award New

Social
cooking
class for
good cause
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A SOCIAL cooking class will be
held to support teenagers and young
adults fighting cancer.
The Asian Garden Cooking
School is holding an evening to raise
funds for CanTeen on Wednesday.
Managing director Murray Macarthy
said the evening was a good
way to give back to the community
and support a worthy cause.
Participants taking part will learn
how to make an authentic Asian
meal.
Mr Macarthy said the evening
usually ends up being “quite a
party.”
“We finish it off and they all sit
down and we serve it up to them
like a restaurant. We serve up beer
and wine. It is quite a social get
together to meet a lot of people,”he
said.
He said the evening will cost $99
and already about 12 people were
booked in.
One hundred per cent of the
proceeds from the evening will go
to CanTeen.
Every day 10 young people across
the country are impacted by a cancer
diagnosis.
CanTeen has been helping 13 to
24-year-olds with cancer for nearly
30 years.
But reduced funding has
raised concerns the organisation
may no longer be able to
keep operating without
donations.

on Wednesday at the Asian
Garden Cooking School, 7

Games in Darwin.
BURWOOD 12-year-old
Lauren Sheere is aiming to earn
a medal on the trampoline at
the Australian Gymnastics
Championships, this week in
Melbourne.
The Heaton Intermediate student
and national championship
medallist made the final in the
under-15 age-group at the same
event last
year but that
was while
competing
up a grade
against more
experienced
Lauren Sheere
competitors.
Lauren
will compete
in the individual category as
well as the synchro event in
the international youth grade,
where she will team up with an
Auckland-based friend.
“The two things are form
and height, they get measured
on their time of flight and how
long they are in the air and
also where they land, her mum,
Sandy Sheere said.
“Its a really big competition,
so I’d like to make the final first
which is the top eight and then
push for the podium from there,
AERIAL: Lauren Sheere in action at the Australian
Gymnastics Championships last year.

Lauren said.
“Because I over-qualified last
year, I was moved up a grade
and while I still made the final
which was awesome, I’m looking
forward to competing with my
own age group this year.’’
“She had a real trade-off to
compete in the higher grade,
because she had a real chance of
medalling in her usual grade,”
Mrs Sheere said.
Lauren trains and competes
for Hornby’s Olympia Gymsports
and can train for up to 12
hours a week in preparation for
the event.
“I don’t get much time at
home sometimes but I ride
horses as well but training is
worth it,” Lauren said.
“The last two months has been
some of the best training I’ve
ever had and I’ve picked up a
couple of new skills so I’m feeling
really good.
“Winning a medal would be
worth it, it would be really cool.
“One day I’d love to go to the
Olympics but that will be in a
few years,” Lauren said.
“My main goal is to qualify for
the world champs in November
next year.”
Medals for boxers
• By Jacob Page
TWO WOOLSTON boxers have
warmed up for the South Island
Golden Gloves at Kaiapoi this
weekend by winning medals as
part of the New Zealand team at
the Arafura Games in Darwin.
Chrissy Reid won gold in the
women’s middleweight 75kg class
while Trevor Swainson earned a
bronze medal in the men’s 81kg
class.
Reid beat South Australia’s
Laura Wright in the semifinals
and won the final against
Queensland’s Rhiana Kerr.
Swainson lost his semi-final
against Queensland’s Roger
Grant.
The Arafura Games saw boxers
representing Australian states
compete in various weight classes.
Both boxers will be aiming to
at least replicate their results at
the South Island Golden Gloves at
push their claims for the nationals
later in the year.
Swainson, a 26-year-old builder
by day, who lost his semi-final
in Darwin, said he was happy to
represent New Zealand on an international
stage for the first time.
“I know I lost the fight but I
was actually really happy with
how I performed, it was a great
opportunity.
Swainson has boxed competitively
for the past three years and
is a former South Island champion.
Reid, has only been in the
sport for the past 18 months and
described her time in Darwin as
surreal.
The Irish-born engineer said
it was special to represent New
Zealand for the first time.
“To wear the silver fern and
come away with the win was
something I couldn’t believe,” she
said.
“It took a while to sink in.”
Reid made the Canterbury
team last year and she hoped to
replicate the efforts once again
this year.
“I got into boxing for fitness
but also I like having something
to train for, an end goal and
fighting an opponent at the end of
a training camp does that for me.”

There is a better way
to take your fight to
Advertising FeAture
Southern Response than
join a class action and it is
commiSSion FREE
We at Claims Resolution Service Ltd are
offering to any Southern Response policy
holder to take their case for misleading
DRA’s on individually and if you sign up
within the next 2 months our commission for
funding the action will be ZERO, absolutely
FREE of commission. All you will have to
pay is the costs incurred and they won’t be
due until your case ends*. Yes, that’s right,
anyone signing up with us to run this one
specific case against Southern Response on
or before 23 July 2019 will not be charged
any commission. We will be fighting exactly
the same issues as GCA Lawyers class action,
but you will be in control.
You pay nothing up front and
nothing until your case comes
to an end*
Call Cheryl now on 021 701854 or email
her directly, cheryl@eqservices.co.nz
we can come to you free of charge.
* Case ended means, the contract has been terminated by either party, the case has been
settled or for any other reason that your agreement with us is at an end.
If you sign up after the 23 July 2019 we are offering
a significantly reduced commission rate of a fixed
percentage commission of 10% plus GST of the
settlement figure plus costs. So, it’s in your interests to
act now and take advantage of the commission FREE
period.
The benefits of taking an individual claim against Southern
Response.
1. You can choose your own lawyer provided they will work
within our parameters and charge you a fair rate or we can
suggest a lawyer for you.
2. Individual claims can typically expect much faster and higher
settlements, than those in a class action.
3. Individual claims mean you have all the control over the action,
and the decision over any proposed settlement offer, not
someone you don’t know.
4. Much lower funding fee, in fact if you get in on time it’s ZERO.
5. We will charge you ZERO commission, that’s right, nothing,
NaDa, zip commission. All you will have to pay is your costs and
those won’t be due until your case has ended*.
6. We don’t benefit if your case drags on.
7. We won’t take a mortgage over your home. If you have signed
up for a class action, make sure you check your contract that
they don’t have the right to take a mortgage out on your home.
8. If you have already joined the GCA Class action and want to
cancel your contract with them and you have any trouble doing
this please contact us to discuss your options.

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 sments 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 themselves 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 ST Andrew’s Co lege big
band had extra incentive to
win a the National Youth Ja z
Competition – ba s player, Tom
Fastier, co lapsed and died the
day before the competition
began.
“Tom was a ba s player from
Cashmere High Sch ol who was
playing with our big band this
year. He had a strong chance of
winning best ba s player a the
festival as he was a very a complished
musician,” head of music
Duncan Ferguson said.
“We were delighted to win, but
it was bi tersw et,” he said.
St Andrew’s won the most
outstanding big band title a the

The band dedicated its se to
Tom, who died while on his way
to Cashmere High on March 27.

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
planned 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 Jones 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 annual
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 are 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 apartments 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

Spreydon-Cashmere Community

Bu the Banks Peninsula Community
Board decided against
yellow lines on the Summit Rd-

condition.
The changes are designed to try

Insta lation of the double

signs and raised centre line pavement
markers wi l begin in mid

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 this stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes to own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting more experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ll be
going back to try and win the
title,” he said.

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 is scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en
September-May along with a Thai
f od truck.

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GREENDALE 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 UPPER 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.

from the city council to make a

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

areas,” he said.
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the
board’s submi sion.
“I’d like to think so because the
city council has had their eyes
open as well over recent years over
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.
Mr Mora said the community
board wi l be “representing and

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 sments 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 themselves 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.”

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
planned 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 Jones 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 annual
plans are a l about lo bying the

Cave Rock
Apartments’
owners
expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments are 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 apartments 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 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 is scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za

Pupils learn about role of war horses

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

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

upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l

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

the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to

AN UPPER 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 HALSWELL-Hornby-
Ri carton Community Board
has b en given the gr en ligh to
o pose the planned qua ry near
Templeton.
Mayor Lianne 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’s submi sion.
“I’d like to think so because the
city council has had their eyes
open as we l over 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.
