Nurse off duty after 27 years on ward 22<br />
handed in her scrubs.<br />
Almost 27 years ago, Pam<br />
Woodham was offered a nursing<br />
job in ward 22, a 20-bed ward<br />
for children up to the age of 15<br />
with medical conditions.<br />
She fell in love with her<br />
career, motivated daily by the<br />
resilience, compliance and<br />
understanding of her patients<br />
who battled both short and<br />
long-term illnesses. But at 68,<br />
Mrs Woodham has decided to<br />
cycle home for the last time.<br />

Intersection<br />
sessions<br />

residents<br />
‘frustrated’<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
RESIDENTS WHO live near the<br />
controversial Harewood, Breens<br />
and Gardiners Rds intersection<br />
have called drop-in sessions “a<br />
waste of time.”<br />
Sessions were held last<br />
Tuesday at Breens Intermediate<br />
and Thursday at Bishopdale<br />
Community Centre for residents<br />
to learn more about two<br />
options to improve safety at the<br />
intersection.<br />
Option one, which is the city<br />
council’s preferred choice, is<br />
to make Gardiners and Breens<br />
Rds left-turn in and left-turn<br />
out only by closing the median<br />
on Harewood Rd. Option two<br />
is to install traffic lights at the<br />
intersection.<br />
Since consultation opened<br />
on <strong>May</strong> 6, the city council has<br />
received 662 submissions from<br />
the public.<br />
Residents were told at the<br />
beginning of Thursday’s drop-in<br />
session they would need to wait<br />
until after the presentation to ask<br />
questions in four small groups,<br />
with one member of the project<br />
team at each table.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />
THE SPARKS continue to fly over that<br />
painfully agonising saga known as<br />
improvements to the Harewood, Breens<br />
and Gardiners Rds intersection.<br />
This time they flew at city council-organised<br />
drop-in sessions to let people know<br />
about the different options being considered (see page 1).<br />
But clearly many there were not happy with the way they were<br />
run.<br />
There have been more than 600 public submissions to the city<br />
council on the intersection – that is huge. There were also good<br />
turnouts to the two drop-in sessions; clearly showing people<br />
have a big interest in this matter.<br />
But the process has been painfully slow, and city councillor<br />
Aaron Keown has been justifiably vocal.<br />
So the message is crystal clear – hurry up!<br />

On track to get kids on bikes<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
A $90,000 project, led by<br />
Northcote School, aims to get<br />
kids cycling.<br />
The Bikes in Schools project is<br />
being run by the Bike On New<br />
Zealand Charitable Trust. It<br />
aims to give as many children as<br />
possible the chance to ride a bike<br />
on a “regular and equal basis”<br />
within their school.<br />
More than $50,000 has<br />
been raised to<br />
date, which will<br />
eventually go<br />
towards a fleet of<br />
up to 50 bikes, a<br />
quality helmet for<br />
all 131 children at<br />
Ali Jones<br />
the school, bike<br />
storage, riding<br />
classes and a bike track.<br />
Principal Justin Perriam<br />
wants a 400m asphalt track to be<br />
installed by the end of the year<br />
which would be used by pupils<br />
and the Redwood community.<br />
“We have a very open gate<br />
policy. In the weekends and<br />
after school, we have a number<br />
of different groups who use<br />
the school so the track would<br />
provide another resource that<br />
the community could have<br />
access to,” Mr Perriam said.<br />
“We are really big on trying<br />
to make the school the hub of<br />
CYCLE TIME: Northcote School principal Justin Perriam is<br />
leading a project to get more children on bikes.<br />
the community. (The track)<br />
is expensive but we value it as<br />
being important. We are a low<br />
decile school and a lot of our<br />
children don’t have access to<br />
bikes. If I look out to the bike<br />
stands there are two bikes.<br />
“We see bike safety as being a<br />
really strong precursor to when<br />
they actually start driving, so<br />
the more we can do to help<br />
(pupils) with their road skills,<br />
the better. Plus they get the<br />
benefits of fitness at the same<br />
time,” he said.<br />
The school started fundraising<br />
and applying for grants late last<br />
year.<br />
The New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency has granted $40,000 and<br />
the Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board recently granted $8000,<br />
with additional money coming<br />
from fundraisers like sausage<br />
sizzles.<br />
Community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones said<br />
the board agreed to raise the<br />
grant from $7000 to $8000 “to<br />
emphasise the importance of<br />
these kinds of programmes in<br />
these schools and particularly in<br />
these parts of the city.”<br />
“The more that schools,<br />
regional councils, local<br />
authorities and so forth can<br />
work together and share<br />
facilities, the more opportunities<br />
there will be for everyone,” Ms<br />
Jones said.<br />
Several North Island Bikes in<br />
Schools projects have received<br />
money from the Ministry of<br />
Education.<br />
However, in Canterbury,<br />
funding was frozen after the<br />
earthquakes so it can be used<br />
on the redevelopment of school<br />
buildings over the next two<br />
years.<br />
The community board plans<br />
to write a letter to the ministry<br />
expressing its disappointment<br />
over its funding policy.<br />
Board members say<br />
providing facilities for<br />
children is especially<br />
important in light of the<br />
earthquakes and the stress<br />
children have been through.<br />
Northcote School is currently<br />
looking at quotes for the<br />
equipment and the track before<br />
it applies to major funders, such<br />
as the New Zealand Lotteries<br />
Commission.<br />

YOUTH GRANTS<br />
Two students in the north-west<br />
area have received funding from<br />
the 2018-19 Youth Development<br />
Fund. The Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board approved a grant of<br />
$450 for St Margaret’s College student<br />
Trinity Jane Mackley, which<br />
will be put towards her trip to<br />
Indonesia play in the Little League<br />

The community board also approved<br />
$350 to Papanui High<br />

The preliminary design phase for<br />

BUS PRIORITY PROJECT<br />
Construction work is set to<br />

city council expects to appoint a<br />
contractor in June. Improvements<br />
will include a full-time bus lane<br />

Retired nurse made<br />
big impact on patients<br />
•From page 1<br />
Among her friends from the<br />
ward is Ashleigh Lilley, 25, who<br />
Mrs Woodham has cared for since<br />
she was first admitted as a threemonth-old.<br />
Miss Lilley has a rare liver<br />
disorder called glycogen storage<br />
disease, which has<br />
caused her to be in<br />
and out of hospital her<br />
whole life.<br />
Mrs Woodham<br />
remembers having races<br />
with Miss Lilley, in<br />
which she would drink<br />
ice cold water while<br />
Miss Lilley downed<br />
cornstarch to raise her<br />
blood pressure.<br />
Mrs Woodham has had many<br />
roles in the children’s ward.<br />
“I loved them all. When you are<br />
an advocate for children it doesn’t<br />
matter what role you’re in. The<br />
child is the most important part<br />
of it all,” she said.<br />
“Kids need to know that you<br />
care and that you will be there for<br />
them.”<br />
Ms Woodham had a large<br />
send-off this month to celebrate<br />
her dedication to the job. She<br />
dressed in an old nursing uniform<br />
from the Hillmorton Hospital<br />
museum.<br />
The outfit was similar to the one<br />
Ashleigh Lilley<br />
she wore when she took her first<br />
nursing job in Sydney – where she<br />
was born – in 1968 at a Catholic<br />
hospital run by nuns.<br />
Mrs Woodham married and<br />
moved to Christchurch in 1977,<br />
where she raised four children.<br />
She took time off nursing to<br />
pursue a cake business<br />
before returning to start<br />
her job at Christchurch<br />
Hospital in 1992.<br />
After almost five<br />
decades in the workforce,<br />
Mrs Woodham said<br />
she still feels like she is<br />
on annual leave – not<br />
retired.<br />
“It still hasn’t really hit<br />
me,” she said.<br />
With more free time on her<br />
hands, Mrs Woodham will add<br />
travel to her list of hobbies –<br />
which includes reading, cycling,<br />
tramping and going to the gym.<br />
Her son, who lives in<br />
Christchurch, recently<br />
shouted her a week-long trip to Fiji<br />
to celebrate her retirement and she<br />
will travel to England on Sunday<br />
to see one of her daughters.<br />
Ms Woodham said she also<br />
plans to visit her two children<br />
in Australia soon, as well as her<br />
18-year-old granddaughter in<br />
Sydney, who has just started<br />
studying to become a nurse.<br />
Franicevic gets ready for another battle<br />
SCOTT FRANICEVIC will not<br />
let the fact he has no job and<br />
has previously battled mental<br />
health challenges get him down.<br />
Instead the 29-year-old said<br />
it will fuel his drive to help<br />
change Christchurch if he is<br />
elected onto the city council or<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board in October’s<br />
local body elections.<br />
He is The People’s Choice<br />
candidate for the Harewood<br />
Ward. Mr Franicevic has<br />
lived in or near Harewood<br />
for 25 years and wants<br />
to see better democracy,<br />
transparency and greater city<br />
council accountability for the<br />
community.<br />
He will take on incumbent<br />
city councillor Aaron Keown<br />
for a seat at the council table.<br />
And for the board seat, he<br />
will run against newcomer<br />
Jason Middlemiss and existing<br />
member Linda Chen.<br />
“I’d say bring it on,” said Mr<br />
Franicevic. He ran his family<br />
accommodation business before<br />
it was sold due to increased<br />
business competition.<br />
In the role, Mr Franicevic<br />
gained work experience in<br />
accounting, management and<br />
customer service – which<br />
he believes will help him in<br />
politics.<br />
“Part of my passion for<br />
Scott Franicevic<br />
politics is because I have driven<br />
the road of being on the benefit<br />
and having mental health<br />
challenges. I genuinely believe I<br />
can make a change for people,”<br />
he said.<br />
“Harewood is full of a lot of<br />
young first home buyers who<br />
are a similar age to myself, or<br />
a lot of seniors who are on a<br />
pension, which is only slightly<br />
more income than I earn each<br />
week,” he said.<br />
“I would argue that I can<br />
understand the concerns of a<br />
limited budget much greater<br />
than people who earn six-figure<br />
salaries each year. I believe that<br />
I am well-placed to represent<br />
the viewpoint<br />
of someone<br />
outside of the<br />
establishment<br />
with pragmatic<br />
ideas on how<br />
we can address<br />
issues,” he said.<br />
“Our<br />
community<br />
faces some<br />
unique<br />
challenges and<br />
I look forward<br />
to getting stuck<br />
into them. This<br />
election is a<br />
chance to bring<br />
in some fresh<br />
faces to make<br />
better progress<br />
on issues like<br />
protecting<br />
our water,<br />
committing<br />
to a long-term<br />
plan on public<br />
transport and<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Hussaini to stand<br />
in board elections<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
ZAHRA HUSSAINI often<br />
feels like she does not belong<br />
anywhere.<br />
Born in Iran, the 27-year-old<br />
moved to New Zealand with her<br />
family 15 years ago to seek a new<br />
life and opportunities.<br />
“Wherever I go, people think I<br />
am from somewhere else. If I am<br />
in New Zealand, I am a Muslim<br />
and I wear a hijab and people<br />
think I just came from overseas<br />
. . . when I go back home I don’t<br />
obviously fit in with them or do<br />
things the way they do,” she said.<br />
The Wigram resident will<br />
run under The People’s Choice<br />
banner for the Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board in October’s<br />
local body elections.<br />
She is not the only Muslim to<br />
put her name forward for the<br />
elections – Al Noor Mosque<br />
imam Gamal Fouda is running<br />
for the Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board.<br />
Miss Hussaini will stand for<br />
the Waimairi Ward, and said<br />
giving back to the community<br />
provides her with a sense of<br />
belonging.<br />
“It is saying I do belong here,<br />
I do belong to this community<br />
because I am part of this<br />
community, and I am giving<br />
back to this community with all<br />
my heart.”<br />
Miss Hussaini does not live in<br />
Waimairi, but said she has lived<br />
in the ward. She is finishing a<br />
Bachelor of Science, majoring<br />
in biology, at Canterbury<br />
University.<br />
As long as she is helping the<br />
community in a positive way<br />
and bringing about change,<br />
Miss Hussaini said it should<br />
not matter whether she lives in<br />
the area. She has been thinking<br />
about running for more than a<br />
year, and the mosque shooting<br />
made her more determined<br />
to make a difference. She was<br />
particularly impressed with<br />
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern<br />
wearing a hijab after the attack.<br />
“A lot of Muslim women<br />
were concerned to go out in<br />
public with their hijabs and<br />
what Jacinda did was absolutely<br />
beautiful,” she said.<br />
She said it is important to<br />
have representatives on the<br />
board from a diverse range of<br />
backgrounds.<br />
Since March 15, the<br />
community has become more<br />
welcoming and accepting of<br />
Muslims and other cultures, she<br />
said.<br />
Miss Hussaini has a<br />
science background and her<br />
goals include improving<br />
environmental health and water<br />
quality in the city. She wants to<br />
reduce plastic use, fight water<br />
bottling and improving car<br />
parking issues in the area.<br />
She volunteers for several<br />
groups, including the<br />
Canterbury Resettlement<br />
Service and Who is Hussain? – a<br />
non-profit organisation which<br />
promotes awareness about the<br />
legacy of Hussain ibn Ali.<br />

Pensioners keep fit and connected<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
A MERIVALE exercise group for<br />
older people goes beyond keeping<br />
fit and healthy – it also keeps<br />
members connected with their<br />
community.<br />
About 25 people aged between<br />
65 and 95 head down for a<br />
range of stretches and light<br />
exercises every Monday from<br />
11.30am-12.30pm at The Corner<br />
community centre.<br />
Community centre coordinator<br />
Julia Kluts said the<br />
class gives people the opportunity<br />
to meet other residents.<br />
“A real concern now is the<br />
isolation and loneliness of<br />
elderly,” she said.<br />
The exercise group, which is<br />
instructed by Lisa Manners,<br />
started when The Corner opened<br />
in a new building on Church Ln<br />
late last year.<br />
Its original base was<br />
demolished after the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake and the<br />
Elmwood Bowling Club building<br />
was used in the meantime.<br />
Tai Chi, strolling, embroidery<br />
and arts and crafts groups are<br />
some of the other activities<br />
offered at the centre.<br />

Brent Forbes exhibits his latest work in a solo show<br />
‘Lay of the Land’ at Little River Gallery which opens<br />
Saturday June 1st.<br />
Brent writes about his painting practice. “It’s like<br />
driving somewhere. A shape, a curve in the road or a<br />
certain piece of light comes to your attention then just<br />
as quickly disappears in the rear-view mirror. Several<br />
kilometres down the road the same thing happens<br />
again, each new vista either forgotten or somehow<br />
remembered, an accumulation of random memories.<br />
Upon arrival you now have a loose set of images<br />
in your mind – some can be tied to a certain<br />
place, others cannot – but either way there has<br />
been a conscious and unconscious engagement<br />
with your surroundings.<br />
Then you head into the studio and use these points<br />
of reference to start working. But working is<br />
something else. There is experimentation, conflict<br />
and resolution. There is engagement and restraint.<br />
There is a journey with its own rules.<br />
Sometimes you end back up where you started, but<br />
if you are lucky you can end up somewhere new –<br />
discovered because you had an idea of where you<br />
wanted to go but as you set off you threw the map<br />
out the window.”<br />

But when Harewood resident<br />
Terry Donaldson then questioned<br />
the “controlled” environment of the<br />
session, it was met with applause.<br />
Mr Donaldson lives near Nunweek<br />
Park and uses the intersection<br />
often to visit his daughter on Seddon<br />
St.<br />
He said the proposed U-turn option<br />
would not meet the needs of the<br />
community and that traffic lights<br />
were the appropriate “long-term<br />
answer.”<br />
But he was hoping to hear other<br />
residents’ thoughts on the matter.<br />
“You’ve got to have an open meeting.<br />
One resident might trigger an<br />
idea for another,” he said.<br />
Northwood resident Suzanne<br />
Walker attended both meetings as<br />
she and her husband regularly use<br />
the intersection and want traffic<br />
lights installed.<br />
Ms Walker said at the meeting on<br />
Tuesday, around 50 residents were<br />
not told they could not ask questions<br />
publicly until after the presentation.<br />
“There was a very strong vibe of<br />
frustration at the meeting,” she said.<br />
Transport planning and delivery<br />
manager Lynette Ellis said the idea<br />
of the smaller groups was for people<br />
to get information face to face with<br />
one of the project team.<br />
Ms Ellis said the project team<br />
listened to the ideas of residents and<br />
discussed common themes after the<br />
sessions finished.<br />
City councillor Aaron Keown<br />
called the process a “cop-out.”<br />
In response to the demand from<br />
residents, Cr Keown will host an<br />
informal meeting in the Bishopdale<br />
Community Centre from 6-7pm on<br />
Thursday.<br />
Cr Keown has organised the session<br />
and is paying to hire the hall<br />
out of his own pocket as it is not a<br />
council event.<br />
“If some members of the public<br />
want to vent and have big public<br />
meetings, we should do that.<br />
“I’ve never seen passion around an<br />
intersection quite like this one,” Cr<br />
Keown said.<br />
He said he will not influence any<br />
of the resident’s decision-making at<br />
the meeting and will just provide<br />
information on the consultation and<br />
how to make a submission.<br />
Local<br />
<strong>News</strong><br />
Now<br />
Councillor to host informal meeting<br />
CROWDED:<br />
Around 60<br />
people,<br />
including Terry<br />
Donaldson,<br />
attended<br />
a drop-in<br />
session.<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Cr Keown asked Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board<br />
chairman Sam MacDonald about<br />
the possibility of the board hosting<br />
the event.<br />
But Mr MacDonald said it was not<br />
a good idea.<br />
“I’ve made it clear to Cr Keown<br />
that if he wishes to host his own<br />
public meeting it’s up to him. But<br />
certainly, from a board member’s<br />
point of view, we want to go to the<br />
council with a credible recommendation.”<br />
“The last thing I want to do is pit<br />
the community against council staff.”<br />
Public consultation will be open<br />
until June 10.<br />

Avonhead resident<br />
and businessman Phil<br />
Mauger’s decision to<br />
run against Burwood<br />
city councillor<br />
Glenn Livingstone in<br />
October’s local body<br />
elections<br />
Neil Langdon –<br />
Shouldn’t be allowed to<br />
run if you don’t live in the<br />
ward.<br />
Alison Smith – Way<br />
to go Phil, as you say your<br />
roots were on the east as<br />
were mine and we live in<br />
Rolleston now. But that<br />
does not stop me thinking<br />
or caring about what is<br />
happening in the east.<br />
You would be a great city<br />
councillor, all the best.<br />
Wendy Davie –<br />
Fantastic news here’s to<br />
more like Phil running for<br />
council.<br />
Jennifer Dalziel –<br />
He lives in Avonhead<br />
and wants to stand in<br />
the Burwood Ward? We<br />
don’t like carpetbaggers<br />
in the east. If he cares so<br />
much about Burwood why<br />
doesn’t he live there?<br />
Ivan Dane – Hmmmm,<br />
a contractor who has heard<br />
about $800 million to be<br />
spent on red zone land.<br />
What to do?<br />
Tony Howell – Good<br />
on you Phil. Too many<br />
whingers and not enough<br />
actually standing up and<br />
trying to fix the issues.<br />
Chrissi Tukaki – Why<br />
would he want to try to<br />
oust one of the more proactive<br />
members when there<br />
are others that don’t know<br />
their left hand from their<br />
right hand?<br />

A SOCIAL cooking class<br />
will be held to support<br />
teenagers and young adults<br />
fighting cancer.<br />
The Asian Garden<br />
Cooking School will<br />
hold an evening class to<br />
raise funds for CanTeen<br />
tomorrow.<br />
Managing director<br />
Murray Macarthy said<br />
the event will be a good<br />
way to give back to the<br />
community and support a<br />
worthy cause.<br />
Participants taking part<br />
will learn how to make an<br />
authentic Asian meal.<br />
Mr Macarthy said the<br />
evening usually ends up<br />
NEWCOMER: Businessman Phil Mauger will run<br />
against Glenn Livingstone (inset) for the Burwood<br />
Ward city council seat in October’s local body<br />
elections.<br />
Janine Manson – Go<br />
Phil.<br />
Heather Wilkins<br />
– It’s a bit like entering<br />
Parliament.<br />
They think they will do<br />
miracles and when they<br />
get there they realise it’s<br />
actually harder than what<br />
they thought.<br />
Don Gould – More<br />
candidates, more choice,<br />
this is excellent news.<br />
Aileen Kimber – Good<br />
for you.<br />
Merav Benaia<br />
responds to the article<br />
about using murals to<br />
prevent graffiti at St<br />
James Park in Papanui<br />
As a local resident, I<br />
agree the amenities at the<br />
park need some attention.<br />
This can be a great<br />
project for art students<br />
working together with the<br />
community to replace the<br />
old concrete look.<br />
And while we are at it,<br />
being “quite a party.”<br />
“We finish it off and<br />
they all sit down and we<br />
serve it up to them like a<br />
restaurant. We serve up<br />
beer and wine. It is quite a<br />
social get-together to meet<br />
a lot of people,” he said.<br />
He said the cost is $99<br />
and about 12 people have<br />
already booked spots.<br />
One hundred per cent<br />
of the proceeds from<br />
painting the interior of<br />
the toilet block in bright<br />
colours can make them<br />
look less like an old prison<br />
cell.<br />
Joan Herbert<br />
responds to the article<br />
about options for the<br />
contentious Harewood,<br />
Breens and Gardiners<br />
Rds intersection, which<br />
are currently out for<br />
consultation<br />
Please install traffic<br />
lights, it is such a dangerous<br />
and difficult intersection.<br />
This should have been done<br />
before the lights were put in<br />
at Sawyers Arms Rd. Look<br />
how successful they have<br />
been.<br />
Cooking for a good cause<br />
the evening will go to<br />
CanTeen. Every day 10<br />
young people across the<br />
country are impacted by a<br />
cancer diagnosis.<br />
CanTeen has been<br />
helping 13 to 24-year-olds<br />
with cancer for nearly 30<br />
years. But reduced funding<br />
has raised concerns the<br />
organisation may no longer<br />
be able to keep operating<br />
without donations.<br />

at the Asian Garden<br />

Rangi musicians’ big break<br />
“A HUGE achievement.”<br />
That is how Rangi Ruru Girls’<br />
School director of music Janet<br />
Kingsbury described the success<br />
of three students who have been<br />
named in the NZSO National<br />
Youth Orchestra.<br />
Year 13 music scholars<br />
Sarah Lawrence (violin) and<br />
Victoria Park (viola), and year<br />
12 scholar Amy Clough (Oboe)<br />
have gained the prestigious<br />
places, in what Mrs Kingsbury<br />
said is a very competitive<br />
environment.<br />
“What makes this additionally<br />
such an achievement for these<br />
three girls is that the vast<br />
majority of NYO members are<br />
tertiary level students and even<br />
beyond. It is the top level of nonprofessional<br />
orchestral playing<br />
available for young musicians in<br />
New Zealand. We are incredibly<br />
proud of them,” she said.<br />
The girls will join recent Rangi<br />
Ruru alumni Jessie Anderson<br />
and Isabella Gregory.<br />
“Amy’s selection this year<br />
is particularly outstanding as<br />
there are only three oboes in an<br />
orchestra – so to win a place as a<br />
year 12 student is a remarkable<br />
achievement,” Mrs Kingsbury<br />
said.<br />
Sarah has just finished the<br />
senior production Wheeler’s Luck<br />
and said she is looking forward<br />
to sleeping a little more now the<br />
play is over.<br />
“I am very excited to learn<br />
from and work alongside such<br />
an amazing group of young<br />
musicians again,” she said.<br />
“Also without the<br />
constant support and<br />
encouragement of the incredibly<br />
hardworking music staff at<br />
Rangi, as well as the role models<br />
I’ve had in older girls throughout<br />
my time here, I wouldn’t<br />
be in the position to have<br />
opportunities like this.”<br />
Victoria said music is a big part<br />
of her life and she can’t imagine<br />
being without it.<br />
“The lifelong skills I’ve gained<br />
TALENTED:<br />
Oboeist<br />
Amy<br />
Clough,<br />
violist<br />
Victoria<br />
Park and<br />
violinist<br />
Sarah<br />
Lawrence<br />
have been<br />
selected in<br />
the NZSO<br />
National<br />
Youth<br />
Orchestra.<br />
and the connections made<br />
through music have crafted me<br />
into the person I am today. I am<br />
incredibly excited to be part of<br />
the NYO, as I look forward to<br />
learning many new things in<br />
regards to music and making<br />
new connections through this<br />
experience. “<br />
Concerts will be held in<br />
Wellington and Auckland, where<br />
the NYO will be joined by the<br />
New Zealand Youth Choir for<br />
one of the performances in these<br />
concerts.<br />
SIXTEEN PUPILS are leading<br />
a revamp of the St Albans skate<br />
park.<br />
The St Albans School Student<br />
Council presented its design<br />
ideas for a planned<br />
extension of the skate<br />
park to city council<br />
staff during a meeting<br />
at the school.<br />
The group<br />
represents pupils<br />
from new entrants up<br />
to year 6.<br />
The pupils’<br />
suggestions included<br />
adding a small ramp<br />
and obstacle course for young<br />
skaters and scooter riders;<br />
providing chalk for drawing<br />
on the concrete; a storage shed<br />
for sports gear; “a nice shelter”<br />
and seating; more games; and<br />
“pretend traffic lights” for<br />
practicing road safety.<br />
Teacher Niamh O’Connor<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
PLANNING:<br />
Members<br />
of St Albans<br />
School’s<br />
student<br />
council met<br />
with city<br />
council staff<br />
to present<br />
their ideas<br />
for a<br />
revamp of<br />
St Albans<br />
skate park. <br />
Pupils lead skate park plan<br />
Andrew<br />
Rutledge<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
said the group is motivated and<br />
enjoying being part of a real-life<br />
design project.<br />
“The whole process is a<br />
fantastic opportunity for them.<br />
They’ve experienced<br />
how the council consults<br />
with the public and<br />
to allow our student<br />
leaders to have a voice in<br />
the community is quite<br />
empowering.”<br />
A draft plan should be<br />
ready for consultation<br />
later this year.<br />
City council head of<br />
parks Andrew Rutledge<br />
said having local schools get<br />
involved in skate park projects is<br />
incredibly valuable.<br />
“We hope the final outcome<br />
will be that we have young<br />
people feeling part of a new<br />
development in their area and<br />
we can also create great skate<br />
parks that meet their needs.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
New mural<br />
planned<br />
in Bryndwr<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
THE Christchurch Methodist<br />
Mission is seeking funding for a<br />
new mural in Bryndwr.<br />
The mission is looking at<br />
options to put a mural on a<br />
wall at Aratupu Preschool<br />
on Harewood Rd. The wall is<br />
L-shaped and on land owned<br />
by both the pre-school and city<br />
council.<br />
The cost is yet to be<br />
determined, but the mission<br />
has already started applying for<br />
grants.<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board granted $3500 towards<br />
the project and the mission will<br />
apply to the Christchurch creative<br />
communities scheme for funding<br />
in July.<br />
The mural which was<br />
previously installed 10 years ago<br />
was removed after it became<br />
weather-beaten and damaged,<br />
and the blank wall has since<br />
become a target for graffiti.<br />
The funding will pay for an<br />
artist to design and paint the<br />
mural, as well as extra work like<br />
hand painting panels, laminating<br />
and installing the artwork.<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />
council.”<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffered damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes to own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffered damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes to own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />

Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
