New Brighton Rd’s eyesore
Council fails
to clean up
the mess
• By Matt Slaughter
PLEAS TO clean up piles of
shingle and roading metal at
a New Brighton Rd car park
appear to have fallen on deaf
ears.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board chairwoman Kim Money
said the piles in the riverside
car park, opposite
The Bower and Urban Corner
Cafe, had
been there
for “a very,
very long
time.”
In spite of
the board’s
requests
to clear it
up, the city
council has
Kim Money
not acted.
The city
council has
also not responded to questions
from Pegasus Post.
Ms Money said the piles are
affecting the appearance of the
area surrounding the car park,
which includes businesses on the
other side of the road.
“Visually it’s just an eyesore

“We just want to know who’s
doing it and we would like it
stopped and we would like it to
be tidied up because it’s making
the area look extremely
scruffy and the retail area’s got
enough to deal with without
having this look like that,” she
said.
The Bower and Urban Corner
Cafe manager Vicki Blake
said its patrons used to park
in the Cockayne car park, where
the piles are, but they had not
been able to since the scrap metal
was dumped there.

CITY COUNCIL staff must be very busy
– or ignoring an eyesore in the eastern
suburbs.
The car park opposite The Bower has
been a small mountain of gravel for a
longtime (see page 1).
Community board chairwoman Kim Money has requested
information from the city council about when it will go, but
there has been no response. Pegasus Post has got the same
treatment. We asked questions two Fridays ago. We are still
waiting for an answer.
Speaking of that car park, I recall an incident years ago
involving a likeable chap called Larry, and two guys trying to
break into cars. The two guys ended up on the deck, Larry was
cheered back into the bar, and became known as Larry the Lion.

Flooding costs holiday park
Owners ask
for help to
fix problem
• By Matt Slaughter
HEAVY RAIN has forced the
South Brighton Holiday Park to
close four times in the past two
years.
Park manager Sam Hawkins
estimates closing due to
flooding has cost the park more
than $8000. It had to close over
Queen’s Birthday weekend.
He said the park needs help to
deal with the flooding.
Mr Hawkins addressed the
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board last week, where he
outlined his concerns over
the impact heavy rainfall has
had on the park, including
the downpour over Queen’s
Birthday weekend.
The board has requested
urgent advice on how flooding
can be dealt with and has asked
for site meetings to take place
between holiday park staff,
city council staff and board
members.
Mr Hawkins said the drainage
system at the holiday park has to
be improved, as it has not coped
with the heavy rain.
“If it gets too bad we have to
shut the park due to sites being
unusable,” he said.
“It affects most of our camp
because we’re quite low-lying.
There are puddles pretty much
through most of the camp, the
roadways, everything like that,
so then it affects the grass with
oversaturation and people drive
on it, which creates mud and
headache after headache.”
The flooding over Queen’s
Birthday meant the park had to
turn away guests, Mr Hawkins
said.
“It’s affecting the income
revenue, but also affecting
having staff working longer
hours and coming in on their

days off to help pump the water
away and then the cost of reinstating
the grass areas and any
damage to roadways.
Currently, the only tool the
holiday park has to manage
flooding is one petrol-powered
water pump, which is not been
able to deal with the problem on
its own.
Mr Hawkins said he wants the
city council to provide a larger
water pump to clear stormwater
lines, and the area’s water
storage and drainage systems
need to be improved.
Mr Hawkins hopes a meeting
to discuss these options with
city council staff will take place
before the holiday park floods
again.
“Hopefully, before the
next rainfall, there’s some
action with at least a decentsized
pump or something
like that to help alleviate the
problem.”

MOOSE’S MISADVENTURE
Meet Mr Moose, a 7 week
old White Swiss Shepherd
who our vet Kirsty saw
on Saturday for anorexia,
straining to defecate and
vomiting for the past 24
hours. Moose had Giardia
as a wee puppy and
was treated whilst at the
breeders. On examination
Moose was alert and
interactive but extremely
painful on palpation of
the abdomen, hunching
and crying when touched.
Kirsty didn’t feel he was
constipated. He was very lean and dehydrated.
Being so young, Kirsty was concerned at
his level of pain so he was admitted for
Intravenous fluids, pain medications and xrays
to determine the cause of his pain.
Plain radiographs didn’t show much initially
so we went straight into contrast studies,
administering barium orally. The xrays looked
pretty and we had a hunch he either had an
intestinal foreign body, an intussusception
or severe gastroenteritis. The pain relief we
had administered
hadn’t really settled
him at all. His blood
testing revealed
an anemia and
an inflammatory
response.
After close
consultation
with the owners,
Kirsty felt it the
right option to
anaesthetise
Moose and have
a look inside to see what was going on. She
didn’t feel he was improving and that it
wouldn’t be right to wait another 24 hours.
On surgical examination, Moose
was diagnosed with a jejunojejunal
intussusception – this is where an inflamed
section of bowel has slipped inside another
segment of bowel (prolapse), effectively
obstructing and restricting the movement of
ingesta through.
This can happen
in any part of the
gastrointestinal
tract. It is more
common in
younger animals
and often occurs
in association with
a worm burden,
recent diarrhoea,
a foreign object
in the gut, intense
gastrointestinal
contractions or
recent bowel
surgery. Moose did
have Giardia as a
young puppy and
was treated for this.
Gastrointestinal intussusceptions are
serious with severe complications if not
corrected surgically. These can be electrolyte
imbalances, severe dehydration, death
(necrosis) of bowel tissue due to constriction
of the blood supply and severe toxaemia.
Clinically these dogs present with bloody
diarrhoea, straining to pass faeces, weight loss,
occasional vomiting and loss of appetite.
Luckily for “Moose” our vet Kirsty was onto it
late on a Saturday afternoon. Waiting another
24 hours for surgery
could have been
too late for Moose.
Kirsty easily reduced
the prolapsed
bowel and
checked the entire
gastrointestinal
tract for any other
abnormalities.
The bowel looked
essentially healthy.
Kirsty biopsied a
piece of bowel
tissue just in case there is an underlying cause
as it why this occurred. We are still awaiting
these results.
Moose has recovered very well from his big
ordeal. He needed to spend a few nights at
our After Hours clinic for around the clock
monitoring, basically due to him undergoing
major surgery at only 13 weeks of age. He was
discharged on pain medication, antibiotics
and gut protectants. We are
awaiting bowel biopsy and
fecal testing results to see if a
cause can be attributed to the
intussusception. He’s back on
his food, maintaining his weight
and healing well. He’s simply
adorable and very huggable.
Well done Kirsty for another
great surgical success. Steve
and I are very proud of our staff,
always going the extra mile
for their patients, regardless if
these patients are seen over a
weekend or late at night.

MESSAGE: Aranui’s Arwen Valks wants to publish a book that could help people
with mental health struggles.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
Bid to self-publish book
to help anxiety,
depression sufferers
• By Matt Slaughter
ARWEN VALKS says
no one should have to go
through depression and
anxiety alone.
The Aranui resident has
been through this herself
and knows how hard
things can get.
Now, Mrs Valks wants to
publish Rupert’s Black Dog,
a book she has written
for young people who are
facing similar struggles, or
might do in the future
A Givealittle page she
started has already raised
$1656.
Mrs Valks wants to
raise $5000 at least, which
would publish about 250
books, but said the more
she raised the more people
the book would be able to
help.
She said the story followed
a young boy who
discovers his anxiety and
depression through talking
to a black dog and learns
how to deal with it and
share what he is feeling
with others.
Mrs Valks said she felt
the message of the book
would be of value to both
young people with mental
health problems and their
parents.
“There are way too many
precious, amazing, beautiful
little people who can’t
see that about themselves
and who get stuck in this
cloud and think their only
way out is to call time out
on themselves and it’s just
heartbreaking and it’s
completely unnecessary.”
Part of her inspiration
for writing the book was
the mental health struggles
she went through after the
birth of her 19-month-old
daughter Zuri.
Mrs Valks said if her experience
with anxiety and
depression since she was
a child, which had shaped
some of the themes of the
book, could help others she
would have done her job.
“If me going through
all of this and writing this
book makes things better
for half a dozen people,
then it’s worth it. “
Mrs Valks said she had
sent Rupert’s Black Dog to
some publishers, but nothing
had come of this yet.
Her decision to fundraise
and self-publish was
because she wanted to get
the book out and start
helping people as soon as
possible.
The dog in the story was
named after her friend
Rupert Hill-Hayr, who illustrated
the book for free.
The Givealittle page
for the book closes at the
end of this month and
Mrs Valks said every
contribution would help.

Call for more directions
in Bottle Lake Forest
Local
News
Now
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Matt Slaughter
BOTTLE LAKE Forest Park is a
haven for walkers, runners and
cyclists. But, it’s not all fun and
games.
A lack of signage at the forest is
causing people to get lost and has
resulted in police call-outs.
The city council says there
is enough signage already
and people who get lost will
eventually be found.
“While there is the occasional
lost park user, the forest’s
popularity is such
that it is only a
temporary issue
until someone
comes along,”
city council
staff told the
Tim Baker
Coastal-Burwood
Community
Board, which
has asked for more and better
signage.
The community board was
also told: “Bottle Lake Forest
Park has sign panels at every
major entranceway, as well as
sign panels placed in strategic
locations throughout the forest;
eight in total. Maps of the forest
are available freely from the
information centre and Spencer
Park, as well as being available
for download off the web.”
But Burwood Ward city
councillor Glenn Livingstone and
board member Tim Baker said
this was not good enough.
Said Cr Livingstone: “I’ve been
there when police have turned
up looking for someone and
they are there quite regularly, so
with better signage, it could help
reduce police call-out time to
Bottle Lake.”
Police search and rescue
co-ordinator Sergeant Phil
Simmonds told The Star on
average there are between five
and 10 call-outs a year for people
who get lost in Bottle Lake Forest
Park.
They include young children
separated from their families and
lost walkers.
“People are usually located
quite quickly due to the size of
the park and also the fact there is
good cellphone coverage in most
of the forest. Police encourage
people heading out into the forest
to take note of the available maps
and track names, and always go
prepared,” he said.
Mr Baker said the signage
currently in place is too vague
and there is not enough.
He has been lost in the park on
his bike before.
“I for one have got lost in there
when it’s starting to get dark and
it wasn’t a nice feeling.”
Mr Baker said more small
signs, saying things like “Bottle
Lake Car Park 1km” are
necessary.
The community board has
asked city council staff to discuss
the cost and logistics of installing
more signage with it.
YOU ARE WHERE? The lack of
signage at Bottle Lake Forest
Park has resulted in people
getting lost and police callouts.
PROPOSAL: The speed limit on Ferry Rd may be dropped to
30km/h.
Lower speed
limit on cards
for Woolston
• By Julia Evans
THE SPEED limit in the
Woolston Village precinct may
be dropped.
Consultation is set to begin
on lowering the speed limit
along Ferry Rd from Portman
St to nearly Palinurus Rd to
30km/h.
Part of St Johns St, Maronan
St, Oak St, Heathcote St,
Portman St and Glenroy St
would also be lowered to
40km/h as part of the proposal.
Public feedback on the plan
will open on June 17 and close
on July 8 before being approved
by the Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board
and city council in August.
Speed limit drops around
Sumner will be consulted on at
the same time.
The Esplanade would have a
speed limit of 30km/h, while a
large part of residential Sumner
would be dropped to 40km/h.
The move follows previous
consultation on the Sumner
and Ferry Rd master plans,
which approved implementing a
12-month trial.
The area’s master plan
was approved in 2014 and
currently streetscape upgrades
for the village are in the design
phase.
It features wider footpaths
and cycle lanes, upgraded
crossings and street lighting.
A laneway linking Ferry Rd
to the public car park and preschool
behind the library will be
upgraded for use by pedestrians
and cyclists under the library
development.
New and upgraded bus
stops and shelters will also be
introduced.

REUNITED: Bill Lochrie and seven of the original navy crew members who travelled
to Antarctica with him in 1970-71 at a four-day reunion event at the beginning of this
month. (Left to right) – Ted Haar, John Hutching, Terry Gunn, Bill Lochrie, Pat Katipa,

MEMORIES: Bill Lochrie (back row, far right) and his crew on the forward

Navy mates relive Antarctic experiences
• By Matt Slaughter
BILL LOCHRIE set sail for
Antarctica on the HMNZS
Endeavour as a navy engineer 48
years ago at the age of 22.
Some of Mr Lochrie’s best
memories of his life were made
on this journey.
He was with the Royal New
Zealand Navy for almost nine
years.
The New Brighton RSA
president was reunited with
seven of his fellow crew members
who travelled on this 1970-1971
expedition at the beginning of
this month.
The event was organised jointly
by the New Brighton RSA and
Rangiora RSA.
About 60 ex-navy staff who
travelled to Antarctica in years
including 1957-58 and 1965 also
attended to reconnect with old
friends and remember their
journeys.
Mr Lochrie said the reunion
was special and just like old
times.
“We’re all a lot older, but we
call ourselves matelots [French
for sailors] and the matelot sense
of humour never changes. We
had a great time.
“A lot of humour and words
were generated through us
having a few tots and telling old
stories and old lies.”
Leading seaman on the 1970-
71 expedition Keith Ingram,
who lives in Auckland, said the
reunion also had a special link to
Sir Edmund Hillary.
Mr Ingram said the 1957-58
navy crew delivered the Tucker
Sno-Cat tractor to Hillary’s
Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic
Expedition partner Vivian Fuchs
to make his way from Antarctica
to the South Pole.
Fuchs arrived at the South Pole
on January 20, 1958, 16 days after
Hillary.
Mr Ingram and Mr Lochrie’s
crew picked up the sno-cat from
McMurdo Sound and brought it
back to New Zealand in 1971.
It is now on display in
Canterbury Museum’s Antarctic
section, which was visited as part
of the reunion.
Other highlights of the fourday
event included a visit to the
International Antarctic Centre
and the Air Force Museum of
New Zealand and dinner at the
Rangiora RSA Club, said Mr
Lochrie.

She said the state of the car park
was unattractive to The Bower’s

But its owner Katrina Hargen
said she understood the roading
metal had to go somewhere given
there was a lot of work going on in
the area.
“I know they’ve got shingle and
that there, which doesn’t bother
me. It’s a work site and they need

anything that helps actually the

them, I always think is a good

Ms Money was unsure whether
dumping in the car park was
illegal, but said the city council
should have told the community
board why the car park has been
full of scrap metal for so long.
“Contractors or somebody is
dumping stuff there, whether it’s
illegally or whether they’ve got
permission, I don’t know, but the
board would just like to know
who is dumping and why are they

Young leader off to China
AVONSIDE GIRLS’ High School
student Kathrine Wiki Arapeta
will play a key part in the New
Zealand China Youth Leadership
Summit.
It will be the year 13 student’s
second summit after she travelled
to China for the event last year.
St Andrew’s College will host
the summit, which is set to run
from July 13-23.
Kathrine will attend this
year’s event as a youth leader.
She said the best part about the
previous summit was discovering
and sharing in a new culture.
“I personally, got a whole
new outlook on the world, how
every country fits together, and a
vision for the future of bringing
countries closer together. It
definitely helped to prepare us for
our own future, how we could be
leaders of our own country, and
how we could work together with
people from other countries.”
The event will celebrate the
close relationship between sister
cities in New Zealand and China
by bringing together about 100
student leaders from the two
nations.
Senior high school student
leaders, along with first-year
tertiary students, are invited to
apply to take part.
This summit aims to empower
students to be effective, culturally
aware, socially responsible
YOUNG LEADER: Avonside Girls’ High School student Kathrine
Wiki Arapeta will take part in her second New Zealand China
Youth Leadership Summit next month.
global citizens. Founder Jan Fitz-
Gerald said delegates will learn
about the importance of China
and New Zealand’s long-term
relations, make new friends and
gain a deeper understanding of
each other’s culture and customs.
“We will provide opportunities
for all students to develop skills,
knowledge and capabilities to
be global citizens and effective
future leaders in a challenging
world,” she said.
Keynote speaker Stephen
Jacobi, of the New Zealand
China Council, will be joined
by a host of other speakers and
presenters.
Students will learn about
leadership in a cross-cultural
environment. Workshops,
lectures and forums will cover
topics on being prepared
and working together, global
relations, cultural intelligence,
social responsibility and
resilience.
Students will also produce and
present a group project.
St Andrew’s College rector
Christine Leighton was delighted
to be hosting the event.
“This is a fabulous opportunity
for young New Zealanders to
learn and grow as global citizens
and future leaders.”

Fasting gets boxer
CHAMP: Byron
Antal shows off
his South Island
Golden Gloves
most improved
trophy.
a bout – and a win
• By Jacob Page
WOOLSTON BOXER Byron
Antal’s success at the South
Island Gloves has been more
than 12 months in the making.
The 15-year-old, who stands
193cm and used to weigh 110kg,
has not been able to find an
opponent in more than a year.
To find someone to box,
Byron lost 17kg through
intermittent fasting, then
stepped into the ring at 93kg.
His hard work paid off – not
only did he beat Marlborough’s
Elevisi Kaloni to win the junior
male novice South Island
title but he was also named
most improved boxer at the
tournament.
“The whole thing was surreal,”
he said. “I was just sitting there
at prize-giving and I heard my
name called.”
Byron, who lives in New
Brighton and plays under-16
rugby for St Bede’s College, said
he was thrilled to find a bout
and it validated his effort at
training.
“I felt really good in there,
considering it had been a while,”
he said.
“I was happy with my jab
and my work rate in there.
Sometimes you get impatient
and frustrated just training, but
it’s a waiting game.”
He had the support of his
Woolston Boxing Club trainers,
who went on the weight-loss
journey with him.
“I have been having my first
meal at 12pm and then a dinner
between 5pm and 6pm and
nothing else besides water and
it’s worked.”
Byron started boxing in 2015
as a way to get fit during the
rugby off-season.
“I didn’t really think I would
like it, but I kept with it and
realised I really enjoyed it.
“At the start, I was training
hard but I wasn’t looking
to improve and I was quite
stubborn, but then I started to
take advice on board and get
better. The coaches say I need
to use my jab, my hook and my
right.”
Byron said he would like to
force his way into Canterbury
teams this year and then push
his claim for national honours.

Good performance earns teen
place in Canty indoor cricket squad
• By Tatiana Gibbs
RYAN JAMES topped off
another successful South Island
indoor cricket campaign by
sealing a spot in the Canterbury
premier men’s indoor cricket
team for the second year
running.
The 18-year-old former Shirley
Boys’ High School student was
in fine form and, over Queen’s
Birthday weekend, anchored
his team into a last-ball thriller
which saw the Hornby Titans,
take out the South Island Indoor
Cricket Championships at Riccarton’s
Howzat! Indoor Sports
Centre.
James’ team stole the grand
final, defeating Dunedin’s Metro
Muskets 86-83 in a match never
lacking fast-paced action.
James said the Hornby team
“had to dig it in’’ for the last four
games, after a loss to Central
Sharks and the Metro Muskets in
the round-robin games.
Their remaining games were
“must-win matches” to keep in
the running for the final, where
his team had redemption against
the Metro Muskets to take home
the title.
Canterbury squads were selected
at the end of the tournament
with James lowering the team’s
average age.
Coach John McCarthy will
lead his team of 11 into this year’s
national indoor cricket championship
in late July at Palmerston
North.
The team consists of Ryan
James, Craig Stevens, Micah
Campbell, (Action Hornby)
Mitch Gardner, Taylor Irie, Tom
Agnew, Ben Cochrane, (Howzat
Riccarton) Carl Hooper, Dan
Vann, Tom McDonald and
Jackson Hemingway (Action
Central).
James will head north with
the Canterbury premier men’s
team to compete against teams
from Auckland, Wellington,
Central, Northern and Southern
Districts at the national tournament.
He is hoping to finish
ahead of last year’s modest fourth
place, the team missing out on
a chance at the final by just two
points.
New Zealand indoor cricket
selectors will be on the lookout at
the upcoming national tournament
to select their squads to

compete in the 2019 transtasman
series, which will be held in
Palmerston North between September
12 and 14.
The transtasman series
will have competitive
fixtures across the under-21
boys and girls, and open premier
men’s and women’s grades and
James’ goal is to progress from
the New Zealand under-21 boy’s
team and be selected for the New

team.
Making korfball
team exceeds
expectations
• By Jacob Page
AVONSIDE GIRLS’ High
School korfballer Caitlin Sadler
is keen to grow the sport she
loves across New Zealand.
The 17-year-old was selected
to the all stars tournament

Oceania tournament
in China
late last month
where the team
finished fourth.
The result

Sadler
for the under-21 World Championships

Caitlin said she fell in love
with the sport when looking for
a summer sport after her netball
had finished.
“Whenever I look back at
what I’ve achieved, it’s quite
something,’’ she said.
“Sometimes I think I’ve
achieved all I can and then I
discover that I have more to
offer.”
She said to make the team was
above all her expectations.
“When I first started playing, I
did so just because it was fun and
I enjoyed it but the more I played
it, the more I understood my role
and how to play it and now I just
want to go as far as I can.”

van Bruchem is preparing to
represent New Zealand at a
world championships – but not
in rugby.
Van Bruchem, 20, will travel
to South Africa following New
Brighton’s final game of the
metro rugby season as part
of the New Zealand team to
compete at the World Korfball
Championships for the first time.
The 195cm lock grew up
around korfball – a ball sport with
similarities to netball and basketball
– due to his parents being Dutch.
His parents through playing
korfball in the Netherlands, where
more than 100,000 people take part
in the sport.
“I remember watching my
parents play, then they coached a
school team we had at Richmond
School,” said van Bruchem.
He started playing rugby as an
eight-year-old for Shirley before
going on to play first XV rugby at
Shirley Boys’ High School.
“Korfball helps with my handeye
co-ordination, which helps
with catching and distributing
the ball at lineouts, but they are
quite different sports, which is
why I enjoy them because it’s
nice being able to do something
and the next day having a
different training for a different
game,” he said.
He has played for the
New Zealand under-19
korfball team at international
competitions. However, the
world championships will be his
first time playing for the New
Zealand senior side.
Last year van Bruchem was
part of the Canterbury rugby
team which competed at the
national under-19 tournament.
Since the end of last season, van
Bruchem has put on 10kg. Now
105kg, he hopes the added size
will help him progress his game
to the next level.
“Every off-season is about
putting on weight to be able to go
to the next level. It is a bit hard
because you have to eat a lot,” he
said.
Van Bruchem is used to being
the tallest player on the rugby
field.
However, when New Zealand
come up against the Netherlands
in pool play at the korfball
champs, he will be brought back
to eye level with the world’s best.
“There’s going to be a lot of
really good players there, it’s just
going to be really cool to test
myself against the best in the
world,” he said.
The World Korfball
Championships will
take place in Durban from
August 1-10.
Chance to win
an electric car
A $40,000 electric vehicle is
one of many prizes up for grabs
at the Star Media Home and
Living Show.
Star Media events manager
Lisa Lynch said the show at
Horncastle Arena from June
28-30, 10am-5pm, promises
to deliver new and exciting
innovations, as well as prizes
galore.
“We’re thrilled to be giving
away the car being supplied by
HVS, a Springfree trampoline
and a landscape concept plan
from Creative Intentions,” she
said.
“Anyone who books a
kitchen or bathroom
renovation with Build Right
during the weekend will also
go in the draw to win a $5000
kitchen or $5000 bathroom
package.”
There will be something
for everyone at the show with
thousands of ideas under one
roof, including an Eco Zone,
outdoor innovation area and a
range of stalls which cover all
aspects of home and living.
“We’ll have eBikes, jetskis,
home renovations, insurance,

pools and everything you can
imagine,” she said.
There will also be a range
of seminars throughout the

on everything from purchasing

products.

Sunrise to sunset
7A Ranui Crescent, Diamond Harbour
Price: $418,000
2/3 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | Open plan living/dining/kitchen | Listing Number: 9394
Sitting as centre stage to the water, this is
a quirky, retro and totally unique property.
Sitting as centre stage to the water as you can
get, the views here out to the hills and the
head of the harbour are unbeatable.
In a well-established, private garden which
adjoins the reserve, this is a property which
begs closer inspection. It’s functional in
layout, and there is certainly opportunity
here to add value and create something quite
remarkable with the interior, which oozes
potential.
Two decent sized bedrooms and a
bathroom downstairs, and on the middle
level is open-plan living/dining and kitchen
with more phenomenal views. Ascend the
spiral staircase to the upper level where
you will find more space for potentially the
master bedroom or additional living.
The house itself is tidy but requires some
structural work to continue its longevity -
this is a project best suited to someone with
construction skills or experience. There is an
engineer’s report available.
For a private viewing of this unique
property in a stunning harbour position,
please contact Emma Dunningham of

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

Ms Jones 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

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

I’ve been listening to the
concerns of people living
in eastern Christchurch for
many years now.
This has motivated me to run as
an independent councillor for the
Burwood Ward – the time is right
for me to put my hand up to make
a difference.

IT’S TIME FOR
CHANGE IN THE
BURWOOD WARD
Hello, my name is Phil Mauger and I am running as
an independent candidate for the Burwood Ward
in the Council elections this October. My family has
lived and worked in Christchurch’s eastern suburbs
since 1945 and I have been working on projects
here for more than 40 years.
I now want to put my business experience and
energy into our city’s future and the future of our
children and grandchildren.

AND STOP

Phil leads Maugers Contracting,
a third generation family
business specialising in
building subdivisions, roads,
sewers, drains, and water
mains. For more than 70
years the Maugers have built
subdivisions, roads and homes
for people living in and around
Burwood. Phil’s dad Warner still
lives in the Burwood Ward.

Many people I speak to are
disappointed with Council decisions
affecting Burwood and feel the rebuild
is taking too long. I think in some
respects the east has been forgotten.
Rates increases must be held to
between 2.5–3.5% per annum, rather
than the current proposed increase
of almost 5%. I strongly believe this is
achievable. We can’t keep expecting
ratepayers to pay for costly budget
overruns. This is unsustainable. We
must find other innovative ways to
fund our costs.
The people in the Burwood Ward will
benefit from a councillor who knows
all about building roads, footpaths
and the basic infrastructure a vibrant
suburb needs. We also need to invest
in good public transport options for
the east.
Honey and her friend Izzy are two
of Phil’s biggest supporters.

I CARE ABOUT THE STATE OF OUR ROADS
Every day on their way to work people in the east are
bumping over damaged roads and passing patched up
or fenced off buildings and demolition sites.
I CARE ABOUT PROGRESS
We still have a lot of the earthquake rebuild ahead of us
– we are not in business-as-usual mode.
We need to stop just talking about problems and start
fixing them. We have to ensure that the remaining rebuild
is affordable for ratepayers and stop unnecessary rate
rises. Hard decisions will need to be made.
I CARE ABOUT EASTERN CHRISTCHURCH
I will bring common sense and practical knowledge to the
council table. I don’t like wasting time and money, and
will bring that attitude to the council table. It is ratepayers’
money we are talking about.
I WANT TO USE MY PRACTICAL
EXPERIENCE AND ENERGY TO
MAKE SURE BURWOOD PEOPLE ARE
REPRESENTED AT THE COUNCIL TABLE
BY SOMEONE WHO HAS A STRONG
INDEPENDENT VOICE AND DOESN’T
HAVE TO FOLLOW PARTY LINES.
