Students’ cars put pressure 

on streets close to schools 

• By Matt Slaughter 

RESIDENTS ARE fed up with 

students at Shirley Boys’ and 

Avonside Girls’ High Schools 

parking and driving badly in streets 

around their new school. 

Some nearby residents have raised 

concerns with the schools and the 

city council about the issues. 

The schools say they are aware 

of these concerns and are working 

with the city council and students to 

address them. 

City council transport operations 

manager Steffan Thomas said it was 

working to establish the best way 

to manage congestion in streets 

surrounding the new Travis Rd site. 

“There is increased all-day 

parking demand on streets in the 

vicinity of the schools, as well 

as short-term parking demand 

associated with students being 

dropped off and picked up in the 

before and after school periods,” he 

said. 

“Staff have been monitoring 

parking demand in this area 

and gathering information to 

fully understand where parking 

associated with the schools is 

occurring and what issues are 

associated with that parking. 

That information will enable the 

development of appropriate parking 

management interventions.”

NOSE TO TAIL: Residents in streets near the new Shirley Boys’/Avonside Girls’ High School site, including Blue Gum Pl, say more 

needs to be done to stop students from parking and driving badly.

I SYMPATHISE with people living near 

the new Shirley Boys’/Avonside Girls’ 

campus at QE II (see page 1). 

But I suspect there will be no easy answer 

to residents’ concerns about parking and 

driving behaviour. 

Many high school students now have cars and they have to 

park somewhere. 

In days gone by it wasn’t so much of a problem. The bike, bus 

or walking was the usual way to get to and from school. 

Now and then you might have taken the family car to school 

(which on some occasions was tested out on the quarter mile 

strip on Frosts Rd, but let’s not go there). 

Time will tell what the city council and schools come up with 

solution-wise. We will keep you posted.

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 


SOME BURWOOD Hospital 

patients are being put in 

danger when trying to cross 

the Burwood and Mairehau 

Rds intersection, says the New 

Zealand Spinal Trust. 

The trust’s members want 

traffic lights to be installed at 

the intersection. A site visit is 

set to take place 

between trust 

representatives, 

city council staff 

and Burwood 

Ward city 

councillor Glenn 

Glenn 

Livingstone 

Steffan 

Thomas 

Livingstone, 

where the trust 

will attempt to 

show the need 

for lights. 

City council 

transport 

operations 

manager Steffan 

Thomas said the 

intersection is 

on its radar, but 

it is too early 

to determine how it would be 

improved. 

“There is a budget allocated 

in the current Long Term Plan 

for intersection improvements 

at the Burwood-Mairehau 

Patients in danger crossing road 

WATCH OUT: Hans Wouters (left) and Brett Ladbrook, of the 

New Zealand Spinal Trust, say the Burwood and Mairehau 

Rds intersection is too dangerous for wheelchair users. 

intersection and scheme options 

are currently being investigated. 

How and when the project 

progresses will be determined 

through the Annual Plan 

process, which will be adopted 

in late June. The intersection 

has been on budget since the 

2015-25 Long Term Plan,” Mr 

Thomas said. 

Spinal trust senior pair 

support co-ordinator Brett 

Ladbrook said traffic lights 

would be the safest option. 

“I’ve seen what they’ve done 

to the Burwood Rd and QE II 

intersection when the traffic 

lights were put in there from a 

roundabout and that made a 

huge difference to the flow of 

traffic, but also to pedestrians 

being able to get across a very, 

very busy road.” 

Mr Ladbrook, who uses a 

wheelchair, said the intersection, 

which patients cross to get to 

the nearby shops, is becoming 

increasingly busy. 

“With the advent of the 

Prestons Rd subdivision coming 

in, the traffic flow there now is 

worse than it’s ever been.” 

Mr Ladbrook said at the start 

of the year, a woman fell from 

her wheelchair and fractured 

her foot crossing the road. 

The only protection available 

to people crossing the road 

is four traffic islands and a 

roundabout. 

Spinal trust chief executive 

Hans Wouters said motorists 

will sometimes drive through 

the roundabout without taking 

time to look for pedestrians. 

There is only 3-4m between 

the traffic islands and each 

side of the road, but this is a 

long way for inexperienced 

wheelchair users, Mr Wouters 

said. 

“They are unskilled 

wheelchair users, who are brand 

new to disability, lacking in 

skills and confidence. 

“If someone zips around 

the corner coming from the 

opposite direction, you could be 

compromised.” 

Cr Livingstone said a date is 

yet to be set for the site meeting. 

SAND DUNE MAINTENANCE 

Work to trim overgrown areas 

of the sand dune track from 

Waimairi to New Brighton has 

begun. On May 20, the Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board 

requested city council staff 

investigate if these areas could 

be trimmed. Staff will carry out 

another trim before the summer 

holidays and at the start of next 

autumn. 

THOMSON PARK RENEWAL 

A community open day will be 

held tomorrow between 3.15 

and 4.30pm to celebrate the 

completion of the project to 

upgrade Thomson Park. This 

has involved upgrading the 

car park, constructing a 

basketball court and making 

landscaping and garden 

improvements.

GREAT READS INSTORE NOW 

A Biker’s Life 

Misadventure on (and off) two wheels 

By Henry Cole 

A BIKER’S LIFE is the dramatic, humorous and candid memoir of 

one of the most recognisable names in motorcycling. 

Henry Cole’s passion for motorbikes began when, at the age of 

eight, he was first introduced to a ‘man cave’. His great-uncle 

Redbeard’s corrugated iron shed was ‘stuffed to the gills with old 

motorbikes’ which Henry helped rebuild and ride. Since then, 

Henry’s life can be charted through the bikes and journeys he has 

been on - from a stifling public-school education, via many years 

battling addiction, to the big-sky iconic routes Henry has ridden 

for over twenty series as presenter of numerous TV shows. 

This book reminds millions of motorcyclists why their bike gives them the freedom to be 

exactly who they want to be: to say ‘I’m doing my thing.’ When you ride a motorbike you 

become part of a worldwide community of kindred spirits - those of us who will not be 

pacified by driving a car, but instead live for adventure and the sheer thrill of the throttle. 

Repurposed 

New Zealand Homes Using Upcycled Materials 

and Spaces 

By Catherine Foster 

New ways to use old materials, spaces and buildings, by the 

author of Small House Living. 

An on-trend home design book, featuring an inspiring array 

of homes that have made good use of recycled and upcycled 

materials, structures, spaces and furnishings. Included in the 

mix are industrial and farm buildings that have been converted 

for living and furnished appropriately with vintage and repurposed industrial fittings. 

The book features 20 homes located throughout the country that feature a variety of clever 

solutions and design styles. There is everything from repurposed container homes to army 

barracks, farm utility buildings, churches and urban spaces finished with upcycled and 

repurposed furnishings. 

Tim Cook 

The Genius Leading Apple into a New era of 

Success 

By Leander Kahney 

In 2011, Tim Cook took on an impossible task - following in the 

footsteps of one of history’s greatest business visionaries, Steve 

Jobs. Facing worldwide scrutiny, Cook (who was often described 

as shy, unassuming and unimaginative) defied all expectations. 

Under Cook’s leadership Apple has soared: its stock has nearly 

tripled to become the world’s first trillion-dollar company. From 

the massive growth of the iPhone to new victories like the Apple 

Watch, Cook is leading Apple to a new era of success. 

But he’s also spearheaded a cultural revolution within the company. Since becoming CEO, 

Cook has introduced a new style of management that emphasizes kindness, collaboration 

and honesty, and has quietly pushed Apple to support sexual and racial equal rights and 

invest heavily in renewable energy. 

The Billion Dollar Bonfire 

How Allan Hubbard and the Government 

destroyed South Canterbury Finance 

By Chris Lee 

The collapse of South Canterbury Finance (SCF) is one of the 

biggest New Zealand stories of the last decade. 

The sweep of events, from Timaru to the Beehive, include some 

of the most revealing moments on issues critical to this country 

- everything from poor governance and systemic issues in the 

finance sector, through to the structural risks this exposed and 

the costs it ultimately presented to all New Zealanders. There has 

not yet been a book that has attempted to tell this story, certainly 

not one from an `insider’ perspective. The Billion Dollar Bonfire by Chris Lee will be the first 

book to do both these things. Chris tells this fascinating story as both a long-standing New 

Zealand financial advisor and a protagonist in the narrative. As he writes in the opening 

chapter, he knew Alan Hubbard personally and, from the late 1990s, had clients invest with 

SCF. His main motivation for writing the book, made explicit throughout, is his overriding 

concern that this could all happen again without significant changes to our law and the 

culture of the capital markets industry.

Jane Goodall vists gardens 


GLOBALLY-renowned 

conservationist Dame Jane 

Goodall has visited Richmond 

Community Garden members, 

leaving them starstruck. 

The garden’s co-founder Cathy 

Allden said the Jane Goodall 

Institute had accepted her invitation 

to lead Dr Goodall on a 

walk from outside Banks Avenue 

School to the Richmond Community 

Garden. 

Last Thursday, Ms Allden and 

about 30 of the garden’s volunteers 

joined Dr Goodall on the 

walk, with Ms Allden telling its 

story along the way. 

Once they arrived they shared 

a morning tea and Dr Goodall 

spoke to the group. 

Said Ms Allden: “Her message 

to us was really around, be conscious 

about what you do, what 

footprint you leave, what you 

buy, all those decisions that you 

make on a day to day basis can 

all make a difference. 

“It’s about animal care, environmental 

care and people care.” 

Ms Allden said Dr Goodall had 

been impressed with the work 

•From page 1 

Some of the worst affected 

streets are Travis Rd between 

Blue Gum Pl and Bower Ave, 

Blue Gum Pl itself and Wattle 

Drive between Travis Rd and 

Willryan Ave. 

Blue Gum Pl resident Chris 

Bird said he and his wife Lesley 

Bird were fed up with students 

parking badly in front of their 

house and sometimes driving 

down the narrow road too fast. 

“Every day there’s always someone 

parked directly over the fire 

hydrant. Some people drive in 

doing 50km/h, it’s scary,” he said. 

Mr Bird has asked Coastal 

Ward city councillor David East 

to do something about this. 

“One side has to be yellow-lined 

or something,” said Mr Bird. 

Cr East said: “I think it’s fair to 

say that (city council) staff were 

and are well aware of potential

Jane Goodall last 

Thursday. 

It had been an honour to meet 

such an icon, said Ms Allden. 

“Everyone was just like, you 

know, big cheesy grins and I 

think quite a few of us got quite 

emotional, really.” 

Dr Goodall is best known 

for completing more than 55 

years research into the social 

and family interactions of wild 

chimpanzees. 

She is widely regarded as the 

world’s leading expert in this 

field. 

City council staff met with 

the Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board on May 20 to discuss 

the issue and ways to address 

this. 

Options being considered included

Now 

‘Some people drive in doing 50km/h, it’s scary’ 

FED UP: Parking and driving concerns have been raised 

by Wattle Drive residents. 

Clock tower repairs 

to start next month 

THE REPAIR of the New 

Brighton Clock Tower is set to 

begin next month. 

The city council capital delivery 

team has finished evaluating 

tenders from a number of contractors 

and should award the 

contract in the coming weeks. 

Once the repairs are under 

way they are expected to take six 

to eight months. 

The clock tower has been surrounded 

by scaffolding and covered 

in plastic since March last 

year, costing ratepayers $1500 a 

month. 

Repairs were due to start in 

September last year, but were 

delayed after detailed investigation 

revealed more damage and 

overdue maintenance-related 

issues than expected. 

Most of the damage has been 

caused by exposure to the coastal 

environment, which has caused 

erosion to structural steel. 

The repairs will involve the 

replacement of two cracked 

internal floors, addressing drainage 

issues and the application 


of concrete and corrosion treatments. 

The project team will also look 

at alternative ways to mount the 

clock mechanisms within it to 

minimise vibrations. The shaking 

from the earthquake caused 

the clocks to show the incorrect 

time. 

It will be repainted in its 

original colours, green, sand and 

ochre. 

The New Brighton Clock 

Tower repairs will happen at the 

same time as the repair of the 

Scarborough Clock Tower in 

Sumner. 

But she said they had not done 

enough 

SBHS principal John Laurenson 

and AGHS principal Sue 

Hume said they had told students 

to be considerate and followed up 

with students directly when they 

had received photographs of their 

cars parked inappropriately. 

“There are ongoing traffic and 

parking issues that are arising,” 

said Mr Laurenson. 

“As and when the issues arise, 

we’re certainly raising that with 

the individuals. But I’m not 

aware that there is an issue of real 

significance.” 

Said Mrs Hume: “We are very 

pleased to be working with the 

council and with the ministry 

and the community board so that 

we can make sure that there are 

appropriate measures in place so 

that parking is not an issue for 

our neighbours.”

Teen model’s passport to success 



WHEN BRIDIE Lancaster-

“I always wanted to like, do 

something overseas and go quite 

far and stuff and then when I 

found out I was going to go do 

this I was really, really excited 

because it was kind of like, my

Her mother was shocked for 

more reasons than one when she

Zealander to be selected for the Fashion Passport 2019 modelling workshop on the Amalfi Coast 

in Italy in June. 


would cost more than $3000, but 

their fights were booked and she 

and Bridie’s father, Chris Butcher, 

would do just about anything to 

see their daughter succeed. 

Bridie said she was excited for 

the opportunity to work with 

fashion designers Adrianna 

Ostrowska Couture, Bel Ange 

Couture and Disney Channel star 

Chelsea Kane during the workshop. 

Bridie moved to Kalgoorlie, 

Australia, with her mum and dad 

in 2009 and built up quite the 

modelling resume before returning 

to Christchurch last year. 

She has appeared on the covers 

of A’ La Mode Child-Teen 

Magazine and Paris Chic Kids 

Magazine and featured in a 

number of others. Off the back of 

her modelling success, Bridie has 

also chosen to raise awareness of 

the work Heart Foundation NZ 

do, because she said heart conditions 

had impacted those close to 

her. 

She said modelling was a 

huge part of her life, but she 

made sure to work just as hard at 

school. 

“I’m just at school like head 

down, bum up, just get all your 

work done, stay focused. Then, 

when modelling comes around, 

try and like, balance it out and 

put school first, but still put all 

your effort into modelling.” 

Bridie said her friends at school 

called her “the humble model.” 

Bridie’s other hobbies included 

football, art, animals and swimming. 

She said she hoped the 

workshop later this month would 

open doors and help her achieve 

her ultimate goals. 

“I really want to maybe get into 

a film and do some commercials 

and maybe one day go to New 

York and do some runway.” 

School’s not 

for everyone!

Now 

Podcast tells rebarkable stories 


• By Julia Evans 

FIRST THERE was Humans of 

New York – now there is Dogs of 

New Brighton. 

Heritage New Zealand outreach 

worker Michele Hollis has released 

the pilot episode of her podcast 

series – Dogs of New Brighton – 

which shares the lives of canines at 

the beach and their owners. 

“Almost every day I’ve walked 

on the beach, mostly with Jess 

(her 12-year-old bearded collie 

huntaway cross), but I’ve been 

thinking for months and months 

about how dogs bring people 

together in New Brighton,” she 

said. 

“Christchurch is a dog city, but 

New Brighton is the dog capital of 

Christchurch.” 

Ms Hollis said every dog has a 

story. She takes a little inspiration 

from the Humans of New York 

phenomenon, a photoblog and 

book of street portraits and 

interviews collected in the Big 

Apple. 

“It’s great to tell stories. They 

talk about regular people, this is 

regular dogs,” she said. 

Ms Hollis said walking along 

the beach with a dog opened 

conversation channels that were 

otherwise closed – something 

which should be celebrated. 

“You find out how they got 

the dog, what kind of breed it 

is, all those wonderful stories. 

You realise how many diverse 

experiences people pack into their 

lives,” she said. 

“You find actually people are 

really interesting and most people 

are really lovely.” 

Jess is the show’s co-host. 

“She’s a retired working dog. 

We rescued her from a stockyard. 

There was a meatworks just 

outside of Wellington . . . the 

shepherd just walked off the job.” 

Ms Hollis said Jess is “starting 

to slow down” but will still do 

anything for food, including cohost 

a podcast. 

“She’s a very even-tempered 

dog and is particularly attached 

to me. She loves going to the 

beach and just hanging out.” 

The pilot episode of Dogs of 

New Brighton features Shanti, 

a papillon from North New 

Brighton, and her owner Su 

Jorgensen, an organic hairdresser. 

“Shanti only has three legs 

because she was hit by a car 

before her new owner got her 

. . . at the hairdresser. Shanti will 

come and jump up and sit on 

your lap,” she said. 

The pilot was a success and 

now Ms Hollis is waiting to hear 

back from PlainsFM about a 

fortnightly Monday slot. 

“I want to celebrate our 

distinctness . . . New Brighton is a 

place that’s got a lot going for it.” 

However, Ms Hollis said while 

the first few episodes will focus 

on dogs from the Brighton area, 

there will be some from across 

the city. “I’ve already got my eye 

on a few people who bring their 

dogs in from across town.” 

DOGGONE: Michele Hollis and 

Jess are co-hosting the Dogs 

of New Brighton podcast, 

which looks into the stories 

behind the area’s canines.

WHAT’S ‘HOT’ AT HOUSE OF TRAVEL SHIRLEY 

Welcome to winter everyone! 

We hope the first half of the year has gone well for you all and that you’ve had a chance to get away for a holiday somewhere exciting!! 

In this month’s edition we are highlighting Canada and Alaska. This region has soared in popularity 

over the last few years and we are finding that you need to book almost 12 months in advance. 

It is perceived to be friendly, relaxed, safe and packed with all sorts of amazing places to be 

discovered. For this article we are going to focus on the West side of Canada and Alaska. 

Canada is perfect for wildlife lovers, keen photographers and those who want to witness some of 

the spectacular natural sights in this enormous country! Alaska, is popular for its “Inside Passage” 

and wonderful cruise itineraries, but still offers fantastic landscapes and exciting places to explore. 

We have highlighted a few of our favourites below…. 

CANADA 

VANCOUVER & THE ROCKIES: Start off your holiday in the wonderful harbour city of Vancouver, 

with its sophisticated city centre of arts, shopping and entertainment. Still very close to nature and 

a visit to Grouse Mountain OR Vancouver Island are must do’s. 

From here a visit into the Rocky Mountains is an absolute highlight. There are many ways you can 

do this: A self-drive itinerary where we recommend you pre-book your hotels (places like Jasper 

and Lake Louise have limited accommodation options and the popular hotels sell out early); A 

guided holiday where everything is included and you sit back in your modern coaches with a 

fantastic view and listen to your experienced local experts tell you about the region OR a real treat 

is to include a couple of days on the Rocky Mountaineer Train. This offers a luxurious experience 

where you will enjoy the Rockies by rail, witness wonderful views and enjoy incredible service and 

culinary treats along the way. 

CRUISE 

THE INSIDE PASSAGE: Another popular add on to any Canada holiday is a cruise up the Inside Passage 

and into the Fjords of Alaska. Cruises are normally 7-10 nights in duration and can be return OR one-way 

if you want some time to explore Alaska and the likes of the Denali National Park, which we thoroughly 

recommend. 

A chance to get up close and personal with the monumental glaciers, icefields and iconic wildlife are all 

things you will experience on board a cruise in this region. 

There are many cruise lines to choose from in this region and it’s important we sit down with you to 

discuss what best suits your needs. Some of our favorite medium to large ship operators are Princess 

Cruises, Holland America Line and Celebrity Cruises. If you are looking for something a bit more 

explorative and personal, then we’d recommend Un-cruise who operate much smaller ships that give 

you a chance to experience the fjords in more depth. You can also find luxury small ship operators such 

as Crystal Cruises, Seaborn or Ponant. A real treat! 

Here at House of Travel Shirley we know it is super important to sit down and have a good chat 

about what is going to make your holiday special and more importantly one that you will have 

fabulous memories of. We thoroughly recommend booking as early as you can for Canada and 

Alaska, so start your 2020 planning now! 

HERE ARE SOME FACTS YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS TRAVEL REGION: 

** Best time to go: May to September 

** Did you know? Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world with the longest coastline 

** Air New Zealand and soon Air Canada offer direct flights Auckland to Vancouver 

**All New Zealand passport holders need to get an electronic visa to enter Canada 

** $115.00 NZD roughly converts to $100CAD – so not a bad as the greenback! 

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN CRUISING IN THIS REGION, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU COME ALONG TO OUR CRUISE EXPO ON JUNE 11TH AT THE CHRISTCHURCH 

ART GALLERY FROM 6-8PM. AT 7.45PM WE WILL HAVE A DEDICATED FILM PRESENTATION ON THIS REGION. GET THERE EARLY TO SECURE A SEAT!! FREE ENTRY.

Your Local Views 

Vision to prevent sea level rise 

New Brighton 

resident 

Cathy Sweet 

responds 

to previous 

stories on 

the effects 

climate 

change could have on the 

Coastal Ward. She offers a 

vision for how we can play 

our part in preventing sea 

level rise 

THE CITY council has heard the 

younger generation’s plea to take 

urgent action on climate change. 

Local government is also showing 

leadership in other countries, 

for example in the United States, 

123 states and 17 governors have 

created a climate alliance to keep 

to the emission limits in the 2015 

Paris Agreement. 

So how are we going to show 

vision and leadership here in 

Christchurch’s Coastal Ward? 

Our local residents are well 

known for having determination, 

Kiwi ingenuity and a love for our 

natural environment. 

With some inspired local 

leadership those strengths could 

be used to turn the wider New 

Brighton area into a real eco head 

turner for visitors, investors and 

city planners around the world. 

Our vast recreation reserves 

make us the ideal nature cycling 

mecca for Christchurch, with 

tracks partly made on the road 

side of the dunes from Southshore 

to Bottle Lake, and around 

the estuary. 

A river park track is planned 

and there’s already funding allocated 

for a track through the 

wastewater treatment ponds. 

Getting visitors here on bikes, 

foot, wheelchairs, scooters and 

e-scooters would be hugely enhanced 

with road cycle tracks on 

Pages Rd and links from Sumner 

and the Linwood Ave cycleway. 

Our local businesses need more 

visitors and our youth and others 

need the employment that local 

businesses can offer. 

There’s a bounty of images 

on the internet of international 

examples of towns with beautiful 

walking and cycle tracks, 

attractive wind and solar power 

generation, flood resistant planting 

and popular trails through 

nature habitats. 

We just need a new vision, away 

from business as usual spending 

of billions on conventional 

building design, congested roads 

and car parks. Money needs to be 

invested in the latest eco design 

and technology. Wind turbines or 

solar for our hot pools folks? 

Potholes still a concern 


SOME POTHOLES have 

been repaired on earthquakedamaged 

River Rd in Richmond. 

But, Richmond resident Cathy 

Allden says there are still large 

potholes along the road, which 

need to be fixed. 

Pegasus Post 

reported in March, 

Ms Allden’s son 

Jack Allden was 

one of two Banks 

Avenue School 

Cathy 

Allden 

pupils who fell off 

their bikes on the 

same day when they 

hit potholes in the road. 

City council city streets maintenance 

manager Mark Pinner 

said repairs had been carried out 

since this. 

“Pothole repairs have been 

done in the River Rd area and 

the footpath concern has been 

corrected and is performing to 

specification.” 

Mr Pinner said one of the 

reasons why potholes on the road 

had been filled in was because 

the Christchurch Marathon, 

which took place on Sunday, 

passed through River Rd. 

Ms Allden said it was good 

that this happened, but the 

pothole, which knocked Jack and 

the other pupil off their bikes 

was yet to be fixed. 

Mr Pinner did not specify if 

CONCERNS: Some potholes 

on River Rd have been 

repaired, but more, including 

the one that knocked Cathy 

Allden’s son Jack Allden off 

his bike in March need to be 

fixed, Ms Allden says. 

this area specifically had been 

addressed. 

Ms Allden said more work 

needed to be done on River Rd. 

“I think, yes there’s a lot that 

needs to be done in that whole 

red zone, but if you’re going to 

exemplar one spot where we can 

kind of get the infrastructure 

back together and it can have an 

impact and actually affect people’s 

well-being . . . do it there first.” 

In December 2015, the city 

council agreed to reduce the 

level of service to a number of 

roads in the residential red zone, 

including River Rd. 

Got a recall letter? 

Get the repair work 

done now.

New Brighton 

Quality service and experience 

keeps customers coming back 

Business continues to grow at the long-established 

New Brighton Automotive, says experienced mechanic 

Michael Cromwell, who has been running the busy 

Hawke Street workshop for three years now, with the 

support of parents Richard, who has years of experience 

in the industry, and Karen, who works in the office. 

The team includes two other qualified mechanics, and 

between them they offer the full range of automotive 

servicing and mechanical repairs, including diagnostic 

and electrical work, wheel alignment, WOFs and the 

supply and fitting of new tyres. 

A service that is particularly helpful for customers is 

the free towing service for breakdowns. New Brighton 

Automotive has a tow truck and will pick up vehicles 

from anywhere in the Christchurch area and take them 

back to the workshop for repairs. 

The business has built up a loyal customer 

base over the years, and while many of these 

people may have moved out of the area, they 

still take their vehicles there for servicing and 

repairs. 

“We even have customers coming from as 

far away as Wigram, Diamond Harbour and 

Rangiora,” Michael says. 

Knowing the inconvenience of being without a 

vehicle while it is in the workshop, New Brighton 

Automotive has nine loan cars available, so customers 

can stay on the road while their own car is being 

repaired. Their van is also available as a loan car for 

tradies. 

Thanks to Richard’s contacts in the industry, the 

workshop also carries out repairs and servicing for car 

dealers around Christchurch. 

New Brighton Automotive is located at 40 Hawke 

Street, New Brighton, behind the Z Energy service 

station. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8am 

to 5.30pm. 

To book in for any of their services, phone 388 

3630, or call in at the workshop. They are always 

happy to help.

Students 

help turn 

red zone 

green 

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School 

students are taking part in a 

project to replant 1.5ha of the 

red zone in Burwood. 

They have joined forces with 

the Avon-Ōtākaro Forest Park 

group and Christ’s College 

students to get the job done. 

The first planting took place 

recently at Brooker Ave and 

involved volunteers from both 

schools. 

The next planting day will be 

on June 16 from 10am-noon at 

the same site. 

Led by Christ’s College head 

of physics David Newton, 

students teachers and families 

planted about 600 native 

seedlings during the first 

planting day. 

With support from AOFP and 

Land Information New Zealand, 

the combined group wanted to 

encourage the return of native 

birds and other fauna to the 

area. 

“We want to see more native 

birds in Christchurch and this 

is a huge opportunity to plant 

a forest that runs as a green 

spine through the city. The best 

thing you can do to encourage 

native bird life back to the city 

is to plant trees that become a 

year-round supply of bird food. 

The sorts of trees we’re planting 

were all originally grown in 

the area and include kahikatea, 

totara and five finger,” said Mr 

Newton. 

“It was a fantastic achievement 

and great to finally be able to do 

something for our city and the 

ecosystem that we are all part 

of,” he said. 

Mr Newton’s goal is to 

increase production and plant 

4000 seedlings next year. The 

seedlings have all been sourced 

from the area and have grown 

into larger plants at both SBHS 

and Christ’s College. 

THE BRIGHTON Gallery’s 

story started with an art 

exhibition at the old 

Harper’s Bazaar building in 

New Brighton mall in 2001. 

The exhibition made Jayne 

Cummins realise the work of 

artists in New Brighton and 

further afield was too good to 

hide away. 

But there were very few 

permanent spaces which would 

display work by up-and-coming 

artists for affordable prices. 

“I was in various galleries 

myself and it was always very 

hard to get into these galleries. 

You had to take some paintings 

along and see whether they 

were acceptable or not and there 

was such a high commission 

– you had to pay 40 per cent 

commission,” she said. 

“For somebody who didn’t 

have the confidence to go 

around to these galleries with 

their paintings, it would have 


been a daunting thing and 

they would never have gotten 

started.” 

This was when Cummins’ 

vision for the Brighton Gallery 

was born. 

“This was the motivation – to 

give artists an opportunity.” 

The former arts student moved 

from England to Christchurch 

with her husband Eric and their 

children Julie Cloughley and 

Peter Cummins in 1974. 

Their first house was in 

Dallington and they lived there 

until earthquake damage forced 

them to move. 

Cummins now lives in 

Rangiora, but her love for art 

from the east is as strong as it 

has ever been. 

She helped form the Brighton 

Gallery Trust in 2002 and with 

funding support the gallery 

was opened at the old Harper’s 

Bazaar. 

It has stayed in New Brighton, 

in spite of having to move sites 

three times, most recently due 

to earthquake damage. It is now 

located in Carnaby Mall. 

The Brighton Gallery only 

charges artists a 20 per cent 

commission. 

However, Pegasus Post 

reported last month the gallery 

was facing closure if it could not 

find more funding on top of the 

$4100 given to it by the Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board to 

pay rent. 

The Rata foundation came to 

the rescue with a $6000 grant, 

securing the gallery’s immediate 

future. 

Cummins said hundreds 

of artists of all skill levels had 

displayed a huge range of styles 

since the gallery opened. 

The diverse and subjective 

nature of the art displayed in the 

gallery is Cummins’ favourite 

part about it and art in general. 

She said this is also the gallery’s

“The fact that we keep

“When an artist brings a

to exhibit there, we don’t judge 

it. It’s like that saying beauty is

that’s the way it is with art, you

Cummins said it is important 

to keep the Brighton Gallery 

open for years to come because 

very few other galleries in 

Christchurch offer the same 

level of opportunities to artists 

of all abilities. 

“Brighton has changed so

New Brighton Bowling Club on a roll 

• By Jacob Page 

THE NEW Brighton Bowling 

Club has been named 

Canterbury club of the year for 

the first time in its 104-year 

history. 

President Margaret Stacey said 

it was a huge thrill to earn the 

honour at the Bowls Canterbury 

awards night recently and she 

saw it as a win for the smaller 

clubs. 

“We were named one of 

three finalists and I think that 

was good kudos for us, but to 

be named winners was a real 

surprise to us because it’s the 

first time our club has won 

anything like this,” she said. 

The club has a membership of 

more than 150, with 47 playing 

members. 

“We’re hoping that winning 

this award will give us a chance 

to get out in the community and 

recruit more members.” 

Mrs Stacey said the club also 

received the gold club check 

award in November, which 

contributed to it being named 

club of the year. 

“The award is given out to 

clubs who have a business plan, 

they have budgets, health and 

safety policies in place and they 

go out and actively try to recruit 

new members,” she said. 

Mrs Stacey said the club offers 

free membership for first year 

bowlers and there is always 

plenty of support for those keen

RISINGHOLM COMMUNITY CENTRE 

Cherished homestead 

restored and ready to re-open 

A cherished community resource in 

Opawa, closed since the February 2011 

earthquake, is set to re-open this week, 

fully restored. 

Risingholme, the historic homestead in 

Cholmondeley Avenue, was badly damaged 

in the earthquake, and then received 

further devastating damage in a fire on 

Queen’s Birthday weekend, 2016. 

The restoration work, which started 

in January 2018, is now complete, and 

tomorrow Christchurch Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel will officially reopen the homestead, 

handing it back to the community, which 

has been waiting eagerly to use and enjoy 

it again. 

Registered with the Historic Places Trust 

as a Category 2 historic place and now in 

its 75th year, this gracious building set in 

beautiful park surroundings was purchased 

and gifted to the city council in 1943 by 

John McKenzie, founder of the McKenzies 

retail stores, for the “health, amusement 

and instruction of the public”. 

That resulted in the ongoing development 

of educational and leisure classes, covering 

a wide diversity of topics and interests, 

which over the years have drawn people of 

all ages and backgrounds. 

Director of Risingholme Community 

Centre, the not-for-profit organisation that 

runs the Adult and Community Education 

classes, Wendel Karati, says people attend 

classes for many reasons, perhaps following 

trauma, wanting to learn a new skill, gain 

employment or to enjoy the company of 

like-minded people as they learn. 

“Coming to a class can help restore selfconfidence 

and bring new hope for people,” 

she says. 

During the closure of Risingholme 

Homestead and Hall the Risingholme 

Community Centre has continued to 

operate from 99 Hawford Road, directly 

behind Risingholme Park. Classes have 

also been held at Riccarton High School, 

Hornby High School and Girls’ High, as 

well as at other community facilities around 

the city. 

The full programme of classes is listed on 

the Risingholme website and enrolments 

can be completed on the website or by 

calling into the Risingholme Community 

Centre office, 22 Cholmondeley Avenue, 

Opawa. 

The hall at Risingholme has also 

been repaired and is again available for 

community groups to hire. 

OPEN DAY 

Saturday 8th June 

10am - 2pm 

This Saturday, Risingholme is 

holding an open day for people to 

come and see the newly restored 

homestead and find out about the 

classes. 

“There has been huge community 

interest in the restoration, and this 

will be an opportunity for people to 

come and celebrate the reopening of 

Risingholme,” Wendel says. 

The open day will run from 10am- 

2pm. Refreshments will be available 

for purchase, including soup in a 

special commemorative cup that has 

been created in Risingholme’s pottery 

studio.

Research supports 

eye health 

Are you Magnesium 

deficient? 

Nutritional researchers have 

discovered a range of nutrients 

that are essential for eye 

health. Some of the most 

essential nutrients that 

have been shown to 

protect and even improve 

eye function are: 

Selenium, is a trace mineral 

that is low in N.Z. soils and therefore in 

many of our foods. Researchers believe 

selenium may help prevent cataracts, 

macular degeneration (the leading cause 

of impaired vision in older people) and 

may also improve dry eyes and general eye 

health. 

Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage 

of the population are low in. Zinc has been 

shown to help protect the eyes from the 

damaging effects of light as well as slow 

vision loss due to macular degeneration. 

Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene 

(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have 

potent antioxidant ability and help protect 

the eyes from damage 

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing 

nutrients that have been shown in 

landmark research to not only provide 

potent eye protection but may even help 

reverse some of the signs of age-related 

macular degeneration (AMD). 

Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent 

antioxidants may help protect the lens 

and retina from damage and reduce the 

risk of cataracts. They also may 

help improve blood supply 

to the eye, strengthen the 

small capillaries of 

the eye and may help 

improve night vision, 

may alleviate many eye 

ailments including eye fatigue 

that may be caused by reading, driving and 

computers. 

Eyebright may help normalise eye 

pressure and reduce eye allergies. 

Taurine is an amino acid that is essential 

for correct eye function. It may also have a 

detoxifying affect on the eye. 

Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue, 

bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision. 

Yumberry is the latest in eye protection. 

It provides many nutrients, is rich in 

oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) that 

are potent antioxidants that may protect 

eyesight. 

These nutrients taken in a therapeutic 

amount help provide comprehensive eye 

protection, may slow and possibly even 

help reverse eye damage that could lead 

to loss of vision. All these nutrients are 

available in an economical one a day easy 

to swallow capsule.

store at Marshall’s Health & Natural 

Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are always 

happy to help! 

Minerals are the building blocks of 

good health. Some minerals are only 

needed in trace amounts where others 

like magnesium are need in much larger 

amounts and on a regular basis to prevent 

deficiency and maintain optimum health. 

A large number of us do not obtain 

sufficient magnesium from our diet 

and may notice some of the common 

signs of deficiency. Some of the more 

common symptoms that may be caused by 

insufficient magnesium are: leg and muscle 

cramps, twitches, muscle pain, muscle 

fatigue and weakness, tremors of hands, 

blurred vision, restlessness, poor sleep, 

raised and/or unstable blood pressure, 

poor circulation, irregular heartbeat, 

shortness of breath, swallowing problems, 

dizziness, headaches, anxiety, agitation, 

irritability, seizures, poor concentration 

and many more. 

Although many young people now 

show signs of magnesium deficiency 

symptoms generally worsen as we age 

due to our digestive system being less 

efficient. Taking a magnesium supplement 

of sufficient strength may be a sensible 

option to top up our vital magnesium 

levels. Not all magnesium supplements 

however are well absorbed by everyone. 

Luckily GO- HEALTHY’S marine sourced 

magnesium offers excellent absorption due 

to its natural co-factors that include many 

trace nutrients that are low in the diet but 

essential for good health.

HOME & HEATING 

Get rid of 

dampness in 

your house 

Now with the colder and wetter weather 

on its way, home owners are focusing on 

ways to make their homes comfortable, 

warm and healthy for their families 

throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue 

that affects many of our older properties 

which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. 

In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many 

people have relocated to homes that suffer 

from rising damp which can be associated 

with health problems. Independent tests 

have shown that up to 40 litres of water 

can rise from the ground and enter a 

house every day, leading to mildew, mould, 

condensation and musty smells. Moulds 

can produce various allergic reactions 

and the frail, elderly and very young are 

especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The 

team understands the problems caused 

by rising damp and are there to help. 

They will come to your damp home 

and pump a lightweight, flowable foam 

concrete under your timber floored home. 

Specially adapted for our New Zealand 

conditions and applications it provides a 

layer of protection against rising moisture. 

An unexpected benefit that the team at 

Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed 

recently, is that many owners of properties 

which had underfloor foam concrete 

installed, reported that it also provided 

protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete 

Ltd now for your free, no obligation 

quote and complimentary appraisal of 

your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone 

03 376 4608 or 0508FOAMCO for more 

information. 

What makes a great 

Heat Transfer System? 

There are a number of Heat Transfer 

systems on the market. Smooth-Air 

ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU 

Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected 

components to optimise the system: 

They use insulated duct to transfer the 

heated air with as little heat loss as possible. 

The fan moves sufficient air for the distance 

and number of rooms, without being noisy. 

The diffusers send the heat to the floor, 

not to skim the across the ceilings. All 

components are good quality - designed to 

operate for years without problems. 

Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of 

options: One to four rooms, with or without 

thermostat and with a choice of grilles and 

diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency 

in your house, as you are using excess 

heat. They have low power consumption 

- only 80watts for the three room system. 

Circulating air through the house also 

reduces the risk of damp. 

You can also choose the HTU version 

with downjet diffusers, which throw the 

warm air downwards to the floor. These 

downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to 

regulate which room receives the most 

warm air. 

An average size living room requires 2-4 

kw of heating, yet appliances such as log 

burners generate heat in the region of 10 

-20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of 

heat which sits at high level in the heated 

room, usually above door level. 

Heat transfer units work best where very 

hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the 

ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate 

warm air around the room with no 

layering, are not suitable as a heat source 

by themselves. However, if you have both 

log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer 

systems with thermostat can work very 

well: The heat pump stops operating once 

the heat from the fire has heated the room, 

and the heat transfer kicks in above this 

point, once there is a layer of hot air at the 

ceiling. 

Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH 

(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help 

you with your Heat Transfer, as well as 

any other ventilation requirements.

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.” 

New bid to fix potholes

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 agreemen 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.

Winder was part of the Pure

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

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 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

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. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the

“I’d like to think so because the

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

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

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 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
