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
• By Matt Slaughter
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.

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
• By Matt Slaughter
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.”

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

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

the issue and ways to address
this.
Options being considered included

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

The project team will also look
at alternative ways to mount the

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

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
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Matt Slaughter
WHEN BRIDIE Lancaster-
Butcher was eight, her mother
entered her in her first beauty
pageant.
The reason – to boost Bridie’s
self-confidence.
Now, the 13-year-old
Avonside Girls’ High School
student is one of 35 young
models worldwide who have
been selected to attend the
Fashion Passport 2019 modelling
workshop on the Amalfi Coast
in Italy.
She is the only New
Zealander who has been invited
to the workshop, which will
take place from June 25 until
June 30.
Bridie said getting this opportunity
was a dream come true.
“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
dream.”
Her mother was shocked for
more reasons than one when she
heard the news.
Said Deb Lancaster: “I didn’t
think she’d get in and I was just
like, holy s***, she got in, how are
we supposed to pay for this?”
She said the workshop alone

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.”

Podcast tells rebarkable stories
Fire rages, homes at risk
• 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
• By Matt Slaughter
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.

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
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
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

point of difference and a key
reason it has survived for so
long.
“The fact that we keep
changing everything every
month, it’s keeping things alive.”
“When an artist brings a
painting in who’d simply like
to exhibit there, we don’t judge
it. It’s like that saying beauty is
in the eye of the beholder and
that’s the way it is with art, you
either like it or you don’t.”
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
much over the years since
we’ve been there. Most of the
buildings have gone and if (the
gallery) closes it will be another
nail in Brighton’s coffin as far as
I can see.”

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

HAEATA Community Campus
student Estella Hungerford
and Avonside’s Ava Henderson
will represent New Zealand at
the ISA world junior surfing
championship later this year.
The pair have been named in
the 12-strong New Zealand junior
squad. The destination for the
championship is expected to be
named in the coming weeks.
Estella, 17, is one of three surfers
named in the New Zealand
under-18 girls team, while Ava,
14, is one of three in the under-16
team.
Last year Estella was part of
the New Zealand team which
finished 12th in the 44-team
championship at Huntington

making her first appearance at the
event.
Ava burst onto the national
scene following a standout
summer, which saw her win the
under-16 girls category at the
national Billabong Grom Series.
She has competed well beyond
her years, winning a number of
national under-18 and under-20
competitions.
Meanwhile, Estella has been in
a rich vein of form, winning the
South Island open title in April.

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.
Further information is available in
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.

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.”

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

Cave Rock
Apartments’
owners
expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement 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.”

Bu the Banks Peninsula Community
Board decided against

The changes are designed to try

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
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

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

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
international competition.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.
Mr Winder has b en a butcher
since the age of 19.

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

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

Cave Rock
Apartments’

expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actually 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.”

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
international competition.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.
Mr Winder has b en a butcher
since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-
Ri carton Community Board
has b en given the gr en ligh to
o pose the pla ned qua ry near
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.
