Nurse off duty after 27 years on ward 22 

handed in her scrubs. 

Almost 27 years ago, Pam 

Woodham was offered a nursing 

job in ward 22, a 20-bed ward 

for children up to the age of 15 

with medical conditions. 

She fell in love with her 

career, motivated daily by the 

resilience, compliance and 

understanding of her patients 

who battled both short and 

long-term illnesses. But at 68, 

Mrs Woodham has decided to 

cycle home for the last time.

Intersection 

sessions 

leave 

residents 

‘frustrated’ 


RESIDENTS WHO live near the 

controversial Harewood, Breens 

and Gardiners Rds intersection 

have called drop-in sessions “a 

waste of time.” 

Sessions were held last 

Tuesday at Breens Intermediate 

and Thursday at Bishopdale 

Community Centre for residents 

to learn more about two 

options to improve safety at the 

intersection. 

Option one, which is the city 

council’s preferred choice, is 

to make Gardiners and Breens 

Rds left-turn in and left-turn 

out only by closing the median 

on Harewood Rd. Option two 

is to install traffic lights at the 

intersection. 

Since consultation opened 

on May 6, the city council has 

received 662 submissions from 

the public. 

Residents were told at the 

beginning of Thursday’s drop-in 

session they would need to wait 

until after the presentation to ask 

questions in four small groups, 

with one member of the project 

team at each table.

from the editor’s desk 

THE SPARKS continue to fly over that 

painfully agonising saga known as 

improvements to the Harewood, Breens 

and Gardiners Rds intersection. 

This time they flew at city council-organised 

drop-in sessions to let people know 

about the different options being considered (see page 1). 

But clearly many there were not happy with the way they were 

run. 

There have been more than 600 public submissions to the city 

council on the intersection – that is huge. There were also good 

turnouts to the two drop-in sessions; clearly showing people 

have a big interest in this matter. 

But the process has been painfully slow, and city councillor 

Aaron Keown has been justifiably vocal. 

So the message is crystal clear – hurry up!

On track to get kids on bikes 


A $90,000 project, led by 

Northcote School, aims to get 

kids cycling. 

The Bikes in Schools project is 

being run by the Bike On New 

Zealand Charitable Trust. It 

aims to give as many children as 

possible the chance to ride a bike 

on a “regular and equal basis” 

within their school. 

More than $50,000 has 

been raised to 

date, which will 

eventually go 

towards a fleet of 

up to 50 bikes, a 

quality helmet for 

all 131 children at 

Ali Jones 

the school, bike 

storage, riding 

classes and a bike track. 

Principal Justin Perriam 

wants a 400m asphalt track to be 

installed by the end of the year 

which would be used by pupils 

and the Redwood community. 

“We have a very open gate 

policy. In the weekends and 

after school, we have a number 

of different groups who use 

the school so the track would 

provide another resource that 

the community could have 

access to,” Mr Perriam said. 

“We are really big on trying 

to make the school the hub of 

CYCLE TIME: Northcote School principal Justin Perriam is 

leading a project to get more children on bikes. 

the community. (The track) 

is expensive but we value it as 

being important. We are a low 

decile school and a lot of our 

children don’t have access to 

bikes. If I look out to the bike 

stands there are two bikes. 

“We see bike safety as being a 

really strong precursor to when 

they actually start driving, so 

the more we can do to help 

(pupils) with their road skills, 

the better. Plus they get the 

benefits of fitness at the same 

time,” he said. 

The school started fundraising 

and applying for grants late last 

year. 

The New Zealand Transport 

Agency has granted $40,000 and 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board recently granted $8000, 

with additional money coming 

from fundraisers like sausage 

sizzles. 

Community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones said 

the board agreed to raise the 

grant from $7000 to $8000 “to 

emphasise the importance of 

these kinds of programmes in 

these schools and particularly in 

these parts of the city.” 

“The more that schools, 

regional councils, local 

authorities and so forth can 

work together and share 

facilities, the more opportunities 

there will be for everyone,” Ms 

Jones said. 

Several North Island Bikes in 

Schools projects have received 

money from the Ministry of 

Education. 

However, in Canterbury, 

funding was frozen after the 

earthquakes so it can be used 

on the redevelopment of school 

buildings over the next two 

years. 

The community board plans 

to write a letter to the ministry 

expressing its disappointment 

over its funding policy. 

Board members say 

providing facilities for 

children is especially 

important in light of the 

earthquakes and the stress 

children have been through. 

Northcote School is currently 

looking at quotes for the 

equipment and the track before 

it applies to major funders, such 

as the New Zealand Lotteries 

Commission.

YOUTH GRANTS 

Two students in the north-west 

area have received funding from 

the 2018-19 Youth Development 

Fund. The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board approved a grant of 

$450 for St Margaret’s College student 

Trinity Jane Mackley, which 

will be put towards her trip to 

Indonesia play in the Little League 

Asia Pacific Softball Tournament. 

The community board also approved 

$350 to Papanui High 

School student Jonel Marais for her 

trip to Australia to compete at the 

2019 gymnastics championships. 

WATER TANK 

The preliminary design phase for 

the Jeffreys Reserve suction tank 

is complete after being delayed in 

April due to space constraints on 

site. The 500 cu m tank will replace 

the current 200 cu m earthquakedamaged 

tank. 

BUS PRIORITY PROJECT 

Construction work is set to 

begin in July for the bus priority 

project on Main North Rd. The 

city council expects to appoint a 

contractor in June. Improvements 

will include a full-time bus lane 

running north from Winston 

Ave to Grassmere St, a signalised 

intersection at Grassmere St, 

walking and biking improvements, 

layout change to the Northlands 

Shopping Centre car park entrance 

and more trees on Main North Rd.




Retired nurse made 

big impact on patients 

•From page 1 

Among her friends from the 

ward is Ashleigh Lilley, 25, who 

Mrs Woodham has cared for since 

she was first admitted as a threemonth-old. 

Miss Lilley has a rare liver 

disorder called glycogen storage 

disease, which has 

caused her to be in 

and out of hospital her 

whole life. 

Mrs Woodham 

remembers having races 

with Miss Lilley, in 

which she would drink 

ice cold water while 

Miss Lilley downed 

cornstarch to raise her 

blood pressure. 

Mrs Woodham has had many 

roles in the children’s ward. 

“I loved them all. When you are 

an advocate for children it doesn’t 

matter what role you’re in. The 

child is the most important part 

of it all,” she said. 

“Kids need to know that you 

care and that you will be there for 

them.” 

Ms Woodham had a large 

send-off this month to celebrate 

her dedication to the job. She 

dressed in an old nursing uniform 

from the Hillmorton Hospital 

museum. 

The outfit was similar to the one 

Ashleigh Lilley 

she wore when she took her first 

nursing job in Sydney – where she 

was born – in 1968 at a Catholic 

hospital run by nuns. 

Mrs Woodham married and 

moved to Christchurch in 1977, 

where she raised four children. 

She took time off nursing to 

pursue a cake business 

before returning to start 

her job at Christchurch 

Hospital in 1992. 

After almost five 

decades in the workforce, 

Mrs Woodham said 

she still feels like she is 

on annual leave – not 

retired. 

“It still hasn’t really hit 

me,” she said. 

With more free time on her 

hands, Mrs Woodham will add 

travel to her list of hobbies – 

which includes reading, cycling, 

tramping and going to the gym. 

Her son, who lives in 

Christchurch, recently 

shouted her a week-long trip to Fiji 

to celebrate her retirement and she 

will travel to England on Sunday 

to see one of her daughters. 

Ms Woodham said she also 

plans to visit her two children 

in Australia soon, as well as her 

18-year-old granddaughter in 

Sydney, who has just started 

studying to become a nurse. 

Franicevic gets ready for another battle 

SCOTT FRANICEVIC will not 

let the fact he has no job and 

has previously battled mental 

health challenges get him down. 

Instead the 29-year-old said 

it will fuel his drive to help 

change Christchurch if he is 

elected onto the city council or 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board in October’s 

local body elections. 

He is The People’s Choice 

candidate for the Harewood 

Ward. Mr Franicevic has 

lived in or near Harewood 

for 25 years and wants 

to see better democracy, 

transparency and greater city 

council accountability for the 

community. 

He will take on incumbent 

city councillor Aaron Keown 

for a seat at the council table. 

And for the board seat, he 

will run against newcomer 

Jason Middlemiss and existing 

member Linda Chen. 

“I’d say bring it on,” said Mr 

Franicevic. He ran his family 

accommodation business before 

it was sold due to increased 

business competition. 

In the role, Mr Franicevic 

gained work experience in 

accounting, management and 

customer service – which 

he believes will help him in 

politics. 

“Part of my passion for 

Scott Franicevic 

politics is because I have driven 

the road of being on the benefit 

and having mental health 

challenges. I genuinely believe I 

can make a change for people,” 

he said. 

“Harewood is full of a lot of 

young first home buyers who 

are a similar age to myself, or 

a lot of seniors who are on a 

pension, which is only slightly 

more income than I earn each 

week,” he said. 

“I would argue that I can 

understand the concerns of a 

limited budget much greater 

than people who earn six-figure 

salaries each year. I believe that 

I am well-placed to represent 

the viewpoint 

of someone 

outside of the 

establishment 

with pragmatic 

ideas on how 

we can address 

issues,” he said. 

“Our 

community 

faces some 

unique 

challenges and 

I look forward 

to getting stuck 

into them. This 

election is a 

chance to bring 

in some fresh 

faces to make 

better progress 

on issues like 

protecting 

our water, 

committing 

to a long-term 

plan on public 

transport and 

making sure

Hussaini to stand 

in board elections 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

ZAHRA HUSSAINI often 

feels like she does not belong 

anywhere. 

Born in Iran, the 27-year-old 

moved to New Zealand with her 

family 15 years ago to seek a new 

life and opportunities. 

“Wherever I go, people think I 

am from somewhere else. If I am 

in New Zealand, I am a Muslim 

and I wear a hijab and people 

think I just came from overseas 

. . . when I go back home I don’t 

obviously fit in with them or do 

things the way they do,” she said. 

The Wigram resident will 

run under The People’s Choice 

banner for the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board in October’s 

local body elections. 

She is not the only Muslim to 

put her name forward for the 

elections – Al Noor Mosque 

imam Gamal Fouda is running 

for the Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board. 

Miss Hussaini will stand for 

the Waimairi Ward, and said 

giving back to the community 

provides her with a sense of 

belonging. 

“It is saying I do belong here, 

I do belong to this community 

because I am part of this 

community, and I am giving 

back to this community with all 

my heart.” 

Miss Hussaini does not live in 

Waimairi, but said she has lived 

in the ward. She is finishing a 

Bachelor of Science, majoring 

in biology, at Canterbury 

University. 

As long as she is helping the 

community in a positive way 

and bringing about change, 

Miss Hussaini said it should 

not matter whether she lives in 

the area. She has been thinking 

about running for more than a 

year, and the mosque shooting 

made her more determined 

to make a difference. She was 

particularly impressed with 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern 

wearing a hijab after the attack. 

“A lot of Muslim women 

were concerned to go out in 

public with their hijabs and 

what Jacinda did was absolutely 

beautiful,” she said. 

She said it is important to 

have representatives on the 

board from a diverse range of 

backgrounds. 

Since March 15, the 

community has become more 

welcoming and accepting of 

Muslims and other cultures, she 

said. 

Miss Hussaini has a 

science background and her 

goals include improving 

environmental health and water 

quality in the city. She wants to 

reduce plastic use, fight water 

bottling and improving car 

parking issues in the area. 

She volunteers for several 

groups, including the 

Canterbury Resettlement 

Service and Who is Hussain? – a 

non-profit organisation which 

promotes awareness about the 

legacy of Hussain ibn Ali.

Pensioners keep fit and connected 


A MERIVALE exercise group for 

older people goes beyond keeping 

fit and healthy – it also keeps 

members connected with their 

community. 

About 25 people aged between 

65 and 95 head down for a 

range of stretches and light 

exercises every Monday from 

11.30am-12.30pm at The Corner 

community centre. 

Community centre coordinator 

Julia Kluts said the 

class gives people the opportunity 

to meet other residents. 

“A real concern now is the 

isolation and loneliness of 

elderly,” she said. 

The exercise group, which is 

instructed by Lisa Manners, 

started when The Corner opened 

in a new building on Church Ln 

late last year. 

Its original base was 

demolished after the February 

22, 2011, earthquake and the 

Elmwood Bowling Club building 

was used in the meantime. 

Tai Chi, strolling, embroidery 

and arts and crafts groups are 

some of the other activities 

offered at the centre.

Brent Forbes exhibits his latest work in a solo show 

‘Lay of the Land’ at Little River Gallery which opens 

Saturday June 1st. 

Brent writes about his painting practice. “It’s like 

driving somewhere. A shape, a curve in the road or a 

certain piece of light comes to your attention then just 

as quickly disappears in the rear-view mirror. Several 

kilometres down the road the same thing happens 

again, each new vista either forgotten or somehow 

remembered, an accumulation of random memories. 

Upon arrival you now have a loose set of images 

in your mind – some can be tied to a certain 

place, others cannot – but either way there has 

been a conscious and unconscious engagement 

with your surroundings. 

Then you head into the studio and use these points 

of reference to start working. But working is 

something else. There is experimentation, conflict 

and resolution. There is engagement and restraint. 

There is a journey with its own rules. 

Sometimes you end back up where you started, but 

if you are lucky you can end up somewhere new – 

discovered because you had an idea of where you 

wanted to go but as you set off you threw the map 

out the window.”

But when Harewood resident 

Terry Donaldson then questioned 

the “controlled” environment of the 

session, it was met with applause. 

Mr Donaldson lives near Nunweek 

Park and uses the intersection 

often to visit his daughter on Seddon 

St. 

He said the proposed U-turn option 

would not meet the needs of the 

community and that traffic lights 

were the appropriate “long-term 

answer.” 

But he was hoping to hear other 

residents’ thoughts on the matter. 

“You’ve got to have an open meeting. 

One resident might trigger an 

idea for another,” he said. 

Northwood resident Suzanne 

Walker attended both meetings as 

she and her husband regularly use 

the intersection and want traffic 

lights installed. 

Ms Walker said at the meeting on 

Tuesday, around 50 residents were 

not told they could not ask questions 

publicly until after the presentation. 

“There was a very strong vibe of 

frustration at the meeting,” she said. 

Transport planning and delivery 

manager Lynette Ellis said the idea 

of the smaller groups was for people 

to get information face to face with 

one of the project team. 

Ms Ellis said the project team 

listened to the ideas of residents and 

discussed common themes after the 

sessions finished. 

City councillor Aaron Keown 

called the process a “cop-out.” 

In response to the demand from 

residents, Cr Keown will host an 

informal meeting in the Bishopdale 

Community Centre from 6-7pm on 

Thursday. 

Cr Keown has organised the session 

and is paying to hire the hall 

out of his own pocket as it is not a 

council event. 

“If some members of the public 

want to vent and have big public 

meetings, we should do that. 

“I’ve never seen passion around an 

intersection quite like this one,” Cr 

Keown said. 

He said he will not influence any 

of the resident’s decision-making at 

the meeting and will just provide 

information on the consultation and 

how to make a submission.

Councillor to host informal meeting 

CROWDED: 

Around 60 

people, 

including Terry 

Donaldson, 

attended 

a drop-in 

session. 


Cr Keown asked Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board 

chairman Sam MacDonald about 

the possibility of the board hosting 

the event. 

But Mr MacDonald said it was not 

a good idea. 

“I’ve made it clear to Cr Keown 

that if he wishes to host his own 

public meeting it’s up to him. But 

certainly, from a board member’s 

point of view, we want to go to the 

council with a credible recommendation.” 

“The last thing I want to do is pit 

the community against council staff.” 

Public consultation will be open 

until June 10.

Readers respond to 

last week’s article on 

Avonhead resident 

and businessman Phil 

Mauger’s decision to 

run against Burwood 

city councillor 

Glenn Livingstone in 

October’s local body 

elections 

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 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 

the 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 proactive 

members when there 

are others that don’t know 

their left hand from their 

right hand? 

• By Georgia O’Connor-

A SOCIAL cooking class 

will be held to support 

teenagers and young adults 

fighting cancer. 

The Asian Garden 

Cooking School will 

hold an evening class to 

raise funds for CanTeen 

tomorrow. 

Managing director 

Murray Macarthy said 

the event will be 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 

NEWCOMER: Businessman Phil Mauger will run 

against Glenn Livingstone (inset) for the Burwood 

Ward city council seat in October’s local body 

elections. 

Janine Manson – Go 

Phil. 

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. 

Aileen Kimber – Good 

for you. 

Merav Benaia 

responds to the article 

about using murals to 

prevent graffiti at St 

James Park in Papanui 

As a local resident, I 

agree the amenities at the 

park need some attention. 

This can be a great 

project for art students 

working together with the 

community to replace the 

old concrete look. 

And while we are at it, 

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 cost is $99 

and about 12 people have 

already booked spots. 

One hundred per cent 

of the proceeds from 

painting the interior of 

the toilet block in bright 

colours can make them 

look less like an old prison 

cell. 

Joan Herbert 

responds to the article 

about options for the 

contentious Harewood, 

Breens and Gardiners 

Rds intersection, which 

are currently out for 

consultation 

Please install traffic 

lights, it is such a dangerous 

and difficult intersection. 

This should have been done 

before the lights were put in 

at Sawyers Arms Rd. Look 

how successful they have 

been. 

Cooking for a good cause 

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. 

•The class will be held 

at the Asian Garden 

Cooking School, 

7 Whitchurch Pl, 

Harewood, at 5.30pm.

Rangi musicians’ big break 

“A HUGE achievement.” 

That is how Rangi Ruru Girls’ 

School director of music Janet 

Kingsbury described the success 

of three students who have been 

named in the NZSO National 

Youth Orchestra. 

Year 13 music scholars 

Sarah Lawrence (violin) and 

Victoria Park (viola), and year 

12 scholar Amy Clough (Oboe) 

have gained the prestigious 

places, in what Mrs Kingsbury 

said is a very competitive 

environment. 

“What makes this additionally 

such an achievement for these 

three girls is that the vast 

majority of NYO members are 

tertiary level students and even 

beyond. It is the top level of nonprofessional 

orchestral playing 

available for young musicians in 

New Zealand. We are incredibly 

proud of them,” she said. 

The girls will join recent Rangi 

Ruru alumni Jessie Anderson 

and Isabella Gregory. 

“Amy’s selection this year 

is particularly outstanding as 

there are only three oboes in an 

orchestra – so to win a place as a 

year 12 student is a remarkable 

achievement,” Mrs Kingsbury 

said. 

Sarah has just finished the 

senior production Wheeler’s Luck 

and said she is looking forward 

to sleeping a little more now the 

play is over. 

“I am very excited to learn 

from and work alongside such 

an amazing group of young 

musicians again,” she said. 

“Also without the 

constant support and 

encouragement of the incredibly 

hardworking music staff at 

Rangi, as well as the role models 

I’ve had in older girls throughout 

my time here, I wouldn’t 

be in the position to have 

opportunities like this.” 

Victoria said music is a big part 

of her life and she can’t imagine 

being without it. 

“The lifelong skills I’ve gained 

TALENTED: 

Oboeist 

Amy 

Clough, 

violist 

Victoria 

Park and 

violinist 

Sarah 

Lawrence 

have been 

selected in 

the NZSO 

National 

Youth 

Orchestra. 

and the connections made 

through music have crafted me 

into the person I am today. I am 

incredibly excited to be part of 

the NYO, as I look forward to 

learning many new things in 

regards to music and making 

new connections through this 

experience. “ 

Concerts will be held in 

Wellington and Auckland, where 

the NYO will be joined by the 

New Zealand Youth Choir for 

one of the performances in these 

concerts. 

SIXTEEN PUPILS are leading 

a revamp of the St Albans skate 

park. 

The St Albans School Student 

Council presented its design 

ideas for a planned 

extension of the skate 

park to city council 

staff during a meeting 

at the school. 

The group 

represents pupils 

from new entrants up 

to year 6. 

The pupils’ 

suggestions included 

adding a small ramp 

and obstacle course for young 

skaters and scooter riders; 

providing chalk for drawing 

on the concrete; a storage shed 

for sports gear; “a nice shelter” 

and seating; more games; and 

“pretend traffic lights” for 

practicing road safety. 

Teacher Niamh O’Connor 

SCHOOLS 

PLANNING: 

Members 

of St Albans 

School’s 

student 

council met 

with city 

council staff 

to present 

their ideas 

for a 

revamp of 

St Albans 

skate park. 

Pupils lead skate park plan 

Andrew 

Rutledge 


said the group is motivated and 

enjoying being part of a real-life 

design project. 

“The whole process is a 

fantastic opportunity for them. 

They’ve experienced 

how the council consults 

with the public and 

to allow our student 

leaders to have a voice in 

the community is quite 

empowering.” 

A draft plan should be 

ready for consultation 

later this year. 

City council head of 

parks Andrew Rutledge 

said having local schools get 

involved in skate park projects is 

incredibly valuable. 

“We hope the final outcome 

will be that we have young 

people feeling part of a new 

development in their area and 

we can also create great skate 

parks that meet their needs.”

Friendship key to rockquest success 

“A STRONG friendship on and 

off the stage” is what bagged two 

students the chance to compete at 

the Smokefreerockquest national 

final. 

Natalie Hutton and Minnie 

Robberds teamed up to form 

‘There is a Tuesday Between a 

Monday and a Wednesday’ and 

won the top solo-duo act at the 

Canterbury heats at Burnside High 

School on Saturday. 

Natalie, who attends St 

Margaret’s College, and Minnie, 

who is at Christchurch Girls’ High 

School, will now submit a video to 

the judges who will decide if they 

qualify for the national final in 

Auckland on September 14. 

Natalie and Minnie both sing 

and play guitar. Natalie said their 

friendship helps them on the stage. 

Amber Williams, of Cashmere 

High School, finished second 

and will also enter to compete at 

the national final. Meanwhile, 

the top 12 bands from the 

Canterbury heats will play at the 

Smokefreerockquest regional final 

at 7pm on June 14 at The Foundry. 

The regional final 

line-up: 

•JJ and the Stingers – 

Christ’s College 

•AC/PC – Chisnallwood 

Intermediate 

•Portland – Cashmere High 

RISING STARS: Natalie Hutton and Minnie Robberds were named the top solo-duo act at the 

Canterbury heats of the Smokefreerockquest.

New mural 

planned 

in Bryndwr 


THE Christchurch Methodist 

Mission is seeking funding for a 

new mural in Bryndwr. 

The mission is looking at 

options to put a mural on a 

wall at Aratupu Preschool 

on Harewood Rd. The wall is 

L-shaped and on land owned 

by both the pre-school and city 

council. 

The cost is yet to be 

determined, but the mission 

has already started applying for 

grants. 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board granted $3500 towards 

the project and the mission will 

apply to the Christchurch creative 

communities scheme for funding 

in July. 

The mural which was 

previously installed 10 years ago 

was removed after it became 

weather-beaten and damaged, 

and the blank wall has since 

become a target for graffiti. 

The funding will pay for an 

artist to design and paint the 

mural, as well as extra work like 

hand painting panels, laminating 

and installing the artwork.

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 WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

Only eight submi sions were

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public

A hearing i scheduled to be

The bylaw comes as an increasing

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

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 

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

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 


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.

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.”

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge

“We produced some top quality

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend

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

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

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 


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

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.
