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’
• By Jess Gibson
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
• By Jess Gibson
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

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,

to a long-term
plan on public
transport and

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
• By Jess Gibson
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.

But Mr MacDonald said it was not

“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.”

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?

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

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

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

Lawrence

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

PLANNING:
Members
of St Albans
School’s
student
council met
with city
council staff
to present
their ideas
for a
revamp of

skate park.
Pupils lead skate park plan
Andrew
Rutledge
NOR’WEST NEWS
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.”

Fire rages, homes at risk
New mural
planned
in Bryndwr
• By Jess Gibson
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

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.”

“We produced some top quality

Mr Garth, who has b en a

“Doing a l thi stuff and

Mr Garth hopes to own a

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the

Only eight submi sions were

The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public

Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing

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

A report said there are two

Pupils learn about role of war horses

The New Zealand Mounted

Mark A pleton and member

in a bid to educate pupils on the

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson

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

AN U PER Ri carton butcher

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the

He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this

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.

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.”

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
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
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

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

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

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
