THINGS ARE heating up in the Papanui
Ward (see page 1).
The People’s Choice, a well-organised

fight to incumbent councillor Mike Davidson.
It has named Nathan McCluskey
as its candidate for the local body elections.
McCluskey made an unsuccessful bid for the Papanui-Innes

Outspoken community board member John Stringer is also

Retirement village expansion

A SMALL community group
is working on a plan to get the
beautification of Bishopdale
Village Mall under way.
“Enliven Bishopdale” is a group
made up of five members, with
representatives from the Bishopdale

Trust, and the Bishopdale
Business Association, among
others.
The group has come up with
three ideas to liven the retail area
at a low cost – by repainting the
seats, developing the green
space at the old library site into
a village green and a new
mural.
But community activator Bill
cannot satisfy the needs of senior
Fendalton residents wishing
to stay in the area,” said Mr
Wilkinson.
The existing village was constructed
in 2004.
The complex currently consists
of one large building which
encompasses 19 two-bedroom
apartments, 14 one-bedroom
apartments and five studio
rooms.
“This Morven apartment
development is part of satisfying

In addition to the $15.5 million
costs of the apartments, there are
expenses involving land where
six houses once stood, design

The development is named

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.

www.mcmasterheap.co.nz
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.

‘Proud’ of board’s decision
over Northern Corridor plan
City councillor Mike Davidson writes about the Papanui-Innes
Community Board’s joint decision not to support the Downstream
Effects Management Plan
THE ROLE of a
community board is ‘to
represent and act as an
advocate for the interests
of its community’. And
I’m proud to say that
our Papanui-Innes
Community Board did just
that and recommended
the city council does not
endorse the Downstream
Effects Management Plan
at this stage.
However, we did vote
for work to commence
on the traffic calming
measures, which will
help mitigate the impact
of the increased traffic
from the Christchurch
Northern Corridor on our
communities and for more
work to be done to stop the
increase in the first place.
The community board
and the previous Shirley-
Papanui Community
Board have never
supported the CNC
project due to the negative
impacts on a number of
communities we represent
and the last piece of this
route is in residential
communities south of
Innes Rd where the CNC
terminates.
The DEMP was required
in the resource consent for
the CNC and is designed
to mitigate the impacts of
the Northern Corridor on
the residents of the area.
There are parts of the
DEMP that will benefit the
community, such as traffic
calming and slower speeds
in neighbourhood streets,
and there are aspects of the
DEMP that do not.
However, the best way to
reduce the impact on the
affected communities is to
reduce the number of cars

this was deemed to be
out of the scope of the
management plan. It is
essential, though, and
needs to start in the
Waimakariri district
and happen along the
route with park and ride
facilities, HOV lanes and
better public transport.
The community feedback
was strongly in favour
of this approach and the
volume of submissions and
large community turnout
at the meeting made this
clear.
The last tool the
community and the board
had as leverage to increase
the likelihood of these
changes happening was the

the DEMP and crafting
a number of alternative
recommendations for the
city council to consider, we
have opened the door for a
better outcome. I am now
hopeful the council will
take our recommendations
seriously and be more
ambitious for our
communities.
The community board
has shown this term that
it has consistently listened
and advocated for the
communities we represent

Upgrade for Papanui centre
THE PAPANUI Service Centre
will soon become a one-stop
shop for people wanting to post
letters and pay bills.
Postal services have been
offered at the Papanui Service
Centre since the start of
February following NZ Post’s
closure of its Main North Rd
branch.
Now an agreement has been
reached in which the centre
will become a full agent for NZ
Post, meaning it will be able to
provide bill payment services
too.
More services will soon be
offered at the centre.
Said head of customer
services Sarah Numan: “We are
delighted to be able to expand
the range of services we can
offer local residents from the
Papanui Service Centre. It
means we will have a convenient
one-stop shop where people
can access council customer
services, send letters and
parcels, and pay bills.’’
Some upgrades will be made
to the centre over the next few
weeks to accommodate the
extra services and improve
customers’ experience.
While the upgrade work is

provided through the centre
will be provided from the

Future focus for McCluskey
•From page 1
Mr McCluskey stood for the
community board spot under The
People’s Choice banner in 2016
but polled fourth behind Emma
Norrish and Mr Stringer, who
were elected, and Mr Britten.
Cr Davidson said he is looking
forward to the challenges this
year’s election brings and hopes
that more candidates will result
in a higher voter turnout.
“I think it adds to better democracy,
it’s important that we
get more people running.”
He went head to head for
Papanui’s council seat against Mr
Stringer in the 2016 elections and
received 3316 votes compared to
Mr Stringer’s 2364.
Cr Davidson said he is confident
about maintaining his position
because of the work he has
done within the Papanui Ward
and throughout the city like trying
to reduce rates.
“I’ve had a chat with (Mr Mc-
Cluskey) and he’s quite a nice
chap. I’m not sure if he offers too
much more than what I offer but
that’s fine, that’s what democracy
is all about.”
“Quite frankly I don’t really
believe party politics belongs in
local government but obviously
that’s their decision.”
Mr McCluskey said his campaign
will be positive and future
focused.
“That means being positive
and future focused. I believe in
the power of local democracy to
represent the best interests of engaged
communities. That means
protecting natural resources like
water so they are sustainable for
my lifetime and future generations,”
said Mr McCluskey.
The People’s Choice did not
run anyone for the Papanui
council spot in the 2016
elections.
The People’s Choice chairman
Keir Leslie said the group was
fortunate this time round to have
strong candidates willing to put
their hand up for council.
“Mr McCluskey has got a lot of
skills. As a business owner, he’s
aware of what it takes to make
the sums add up at the end of
the month. He’s got really strong
values and would make a great
councillor,” said Mr Leslie.
Fire station design revealed
THIS IS what the new Ilam fire
station will look like when it is
completed next year.
A blessing to mark the start
of the Ilam Fire Station and
Fire Engineering Educational
Training Facility’s construction
was held on Wednesday.
The station is expected to be
completed by December 2020.
The state-of-the-art
operational facility will have
two appliance bays, operational
areas, off-street car parking,
sleeping quarters and modern
IT equipment.
It will include space and
facilities for additional visiting
fire engineers.
Two training rooms will be
able to cater for up to 100 people
– as one large space or two
smaller areas.
It will become home to 16
firefighters, who are currently
based at the Harewood station.
The new training facility will
also provide an area for students
from Canterbury University’s
fire engineering programme to
share resources and collaborate
on research and development.
NEW LOOK:
What the Ilam
Fire Station and
fire engineering
educational
training facility
will look like
when it is
completed.
Ilam was identified as an
area in need of a fire station
due to the need to provide
rapid responses. It will also
provide fire safety advice to
university students and the Ilam
community.
A Fire and Emergency New
Zealand spokeswoman said
traditionally students have been
harder to reach when it comes
to risk reduction advice and
activities.
Work on the new fire station
will begin in the next three
months.

Challenges
faced to
remove trees
• By Jess Gibson
CASEBROOK AND Merivale
residents are struggling to get
trees removed on council-owned
land.
A couple who live on Creedon
Glen, Casebrook, wanted the
12m oak trees which shadow
their property removed.
However, a city council
arborist recently met with them
to discuss the condition of the
trees, which were found to be in
good health. The residents were
advised by city council staff
that resource and landowner
consents are required to remove
the trees as they are over
10m and protected under the
District Plan.
In February, the board
received a separate letter,
requesting silver birch trees on
Carlton Mill Rd, Merivale, are
removed due to allergy issues.
The city council arborist
met with the Merivale resident
on two different occasions
to discuss the trees. At the
meetings, other nearby
vegetation was brought up as a
cause of the allergic reaction.
The resident then withdrew his
application to have the trees
removed.
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,
carpets, furnishings, spa
pools and everything you can
imagine,” she said.
There will also be a range
of seminars throughout the
weekend educating attendees
on everything from purchasing
electric cars to decorating your

HONOURED:
Mary Holmes
at an event
organised by
Soroptimist
International of
Christchurch
members to
celebrate her
50 years of
service to the
organisation.
Women’s group recognises
Mary’s 50-year contribution
• By Jess Gibson
FOR MORE than half her life,
94-year-old Casebrook resident
Mary Holmes has worked hard
to help advance the status of
women.
Now Soroptimist International
of Christchurch has recognised
her 50 years’ of service to the
global women’s organisation.
An event, organised by
members of the club last
month, celebrated her enduring
contribution.
“It was a wonderful honour
for me and quite unexpected.
Throughout the past 50 years,
I have met so many wonderful
women and travelled the
world to attend Soroptimist
conferences,” said Mrs Holmes.
“Women can make an
incredible difference in society
across a range of sectors,
including education and
training, politics, peacekeeping
initiatives, environmental
management and more.”
Mrs Holmes has had a range of
positions within the organisation
since she first became involved
in 1969. “I have held many roles
at the executive committee
level. However, perhaps my
greatest contributions were as
club secretary where I kept all
members up to date regarding
club activities and also spent
many hours fundraising for our
various projects.”
Mrs Holmes has also been
the club’s region archivist
and managed to personally
collect, compile and place
many important Soroptimist
files in the historic section of
Christchurch Library.
Aside from her work with
Soroptimist, Mrs Holmes has
a long history of service to her
community. She was one of
the first females in the city to
become a justice of the peace on
preliminary hearings at districts
courts and recently retired three
months before her 94th birthday.
She has been a staunch
supporter of the Canterbury
Cats Protection League, of which
she is a patron and a founding
member.
She was also a founding
member of the North
West Christchurch Probus
Club, an active member of the
Returned Services Association
and of Papanui clubs in the
area.
“I believe that the world would
be a better place if we all helped
each other more willingly.
We come into the world with
nothing and we take nothing
with us when we depart. The
only important thing we leave
behind is our contribution to
others.”
Mrs Holmes has been an
inspiration to her two daughters,
Triena Ong and Isla Winarto
throughout their lives.
“Mum has always been a great
role model, inspiring us to work
hard from a very early age, to
achieve meaningful, personal
goals and be proud of our
achievements. She has also made
us greatly aware that women are
capable of making a tremendous
contribution to society and
we should seize opportunities
as they come along,” said Mrs
Winarto.

Bid to self-publish
book for anxiety and
depression sufferers
• By Matt Slaughter
ARWEN VALKS says no one
should have to go through
depression and anxiety alone.
She has been through them
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.

Hard work pays off
for young Irish dancer
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
EMME Stephenson has
big dreams to one day
travel the world with an
international Irish dancing
company.
Since she was seven,
the Burnside High School
student has been in love
with the unique dance
form – and when she is not
at school, she spends the
majority of her spare time
training each week.
The hard work is beginning
to pay off, with
Emme, 13, being selected
to attend the Australian
International Oireachtas
Irish Dance Competition
on the Gold Coast next
month.
The competition is Australia’s
largest Irish dancing
event, attracting more
than 800 competitors from
all over the world and up
to 600 spectators each day.
There are three rounds
in each competition – a
hard shoe round, light shoe
round and recall round for
the top dancers of the competition.
It won’t be the first time
Emme, who trains more
than 10 hours a week, has
taken part in the competition
with her qualifying to
compete last year.
While the Burnside
High School student didn’t
make the recall round last
time, she was listed as New
Zealand’s top dancer in her
age group.
Although New Zealand’s
Irish dancing scene is
small, Emme, who attends
the Swarbrick Irish Dance
school has goals to make a
big name for herself nationally
and internationally.
“I love doing it. I just
find it really fun to do. I
like competing and the
friends that you meet. It

over my life,” she said.
Already she ranked fifth
place in the New Zealand
National Irish Dance
Championships for her
age group last year, which
qualified her for the Australian
competition.
In 2017, Emme represented
the country along
with a team of dancers at
the World Irish Dancing
Championships over in
Dublin and placed 34th.
Her next goal is to compete
in an international
competition in solo dancing.
Her mother Pip Stephenson
said Emme is
determined, hard-working
and committed to going
as far as she can in Irish
dancing.
She said dancing
has also taught her
time-management and
self-discipline which has
helped her to achieve good
results at school.

St Andrew’s drummer
to play on world stage
• By Jess Gibson
ST ANDREW’S College student
Monte Stamm has drummed up a
spot on the world stage.
The 15-year-old snare
drummer will travel to Glasgow,
Scotland, in October to compete
at the World Solo Drumming
Championships.
“I am feeling really excited
about the world championships.
This year will be my first time
going to the world championships
for solo drumming,” Monte said.
Monte was crowned Australian
young snare drummer of the year
in a competition held at The Scots
School Albury, New South Wales,
on May 25.
Because it was the first year of
the Australian young drummer
competition, Monte is the first to
hold the title.
The prize was a A$1500 travel
voucher, which Monte will put
towards his trip to Glasgow.
Monte also aims to buy a new
andante drum before his trip
which he will use to compete.
He began playing the drum
at five-years-old at The Scots
School Albury and moved to
Christchurch in 2017 to improve
his drumming skills at St
Andrew’s College, where he was
offered a scholarship.
SCHOOLS
SKILLED: St Andrew’s College
student Monte Stamm is set
to compete as a solo snare
drummer at international level.
Monte has received tutoring
from world champion pipe band
snare drummer James Laughlin
and is the leading drummer of
the college pipe band, directed by
internationally-recognised piper
Richard Hawke.
Monte went to the World Pipe
Band Championships in Scotland
with the St Andrew’s College
band last year.
“The pipe band at St Andrew’s
College is awesome. We have
great tutors and committed and
hard-working band members.
The relationships and skills we
learn in the pipe band are like no
other team,” Monte said.
Father pips son out of major
piping championship win
• By John Lewis
IT APPEARS experience still
beats enthusiasm.
Father and son Greg and
Campbell Wilson were first
and second respectively in the
South Island championship open
strathspey and reel event at the
Piping and Dancing Association
of New Zealand Otago
competition.
Campbell, 16, who attends
St Andrew’s College, said he
was “piped at the post” by his
52-year-old father by “only a
degree”.
“I reckon I’m pretty close to
beating him next time. I’m right
on the doorstep.”
Wilson said he was not
nervous about his son
becoming the best piper in the
family.
“If I’ve done my job properly,
he will beat me.”
They were among about 60
bagpipers from around New
Zealand who competed in
the competition held at John
McGlashan College, while the
Highland and National Dancing
competitions were held at the
King’s and Queen’s Performing
Arts Centre.
Piping and Dancing
Association of New Zealand
Otago president Shiobhan Smith
said more than 120 dancers
participated in the dancing
events.

events were for the Otago

them were six South Island
championship events.
Because the Otago event
was so close to the New

Championships early next

month, many of the country’s

take place at St Andrew’s
College in July.
Senior high school
student leaders, along with
first year tertiary students,
are invited to apply to take

Reserve.
It was the third
community planting day
at the bush as part of a
regeneration project
at the reserve between
Langdons and Sawyers
Arms Rds.
Said community board
member John Stringer: “We
got a lot done, mainly
ring weeding around the
growing native trees, some
cities in New Zealand
and China by bringing
together up to 100 student
leaders from the two
nations. The summit
offers a week-long
residential programme
at St Andrew’s College,
with boarding house
accommodation provided.
Staying on campus will
ensure a fully immersive
experience, with evening
workshops, projects and
other activities planned to
new plantings, and large
areas of stubborn weeds
pulled out and extracted.”
Concrete metal tree
plaques, initiated by
retired geography teacher
Denis McMurtie and
funded by Rotary and
Papanui Heritage, were
placed at strategic sites in
the reserve.
A sausage sizzle and hot
drinks kept the team fed
and warm.
Opportunity for young leaders
round out and enrich the
daily programme.
A non-residential option
is also available.

$10k grant
for Burnside
Bowling Club
• By Jess Gibson
THE BURNSIDE Bowling Club
has been granted $10,000 for
new sunshades.
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
approved the grant, which will
be put towards the $30,757 cost
of installing four sunshades
along the bowling green at
Burnside Park.
The purpose of the shades is to
provide adequate sun protection
for players and the viewing
public.
The club has 230 members
from all over the city, ranging
in age from 10 to more than
90-years-old.
The club has three greens
which are regarded as one of
the best playing surfaces in
Australasia, and has hosted
numerous international
tournaments over the years.
The club will apply for grants
and sponsorship to pay for the
remaining costs and will cover
any shortfall using its own
money.
Community board Sam
MacDonald chairman said the
club has assets which are used by
the community. “It seemed to fit
in well that we can give back to
them.”
The club has not previously
asked for grants from the
community board.
Cricket nets set to get upgrade
• By Jess Gibson
THE CRICKET nets at Burnside
Park will be upgraded for the
first time in 15 years.
The Burnside West
Christchurch University Cricket
Club has launched a project to
refurbish the artificial nets and
replace the artificial grass at the
park.
The nets were first installed
in 2004, using funds raised by
members of the club with help
from the city
council.
They are
used often
by premier
players, club
players, junior
cricketers and
the general
public.
Shane Young
“People use
them every day
in the summer. We are always
really surprised by the amount
of use they get,” said junior
convener Shane Young
Mr Young said the nets are
“past their use by date.”
He said he hopes to see the
new nets and grass put in by
spring.
One of the club’s social teams,
the Dubai Diamond Traders, has
agreed to help remove, supply
and refit new black, plasticcoated
netting.
Brook Skates is a part of the
team and said his workplace,
SPORT
Advanced Engineering Group,
will supply the netting at a
cheaper rate to “help the club
out”.
The city council has agreed to
repair and replace the damaged
framing elements, and the club is
looking for someone to paint the
galvanised framing once the new
netting is fitted.

project would cost about $14,000.
The club has launched a

for the artificial grass, which
would cost about $7000.
The club is also looking at
applying for funding from the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board and other
grant schemes to cover any

shortfall. It has been trying to

3 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 3 lounges | 1 toilet | 4 off street parking | www.harcourts.co.nz | Listing #RD7245
With great bones and an enviable address,
this unique home presents a golden
opportunity for those with an eye for style to
make it their own. Others may see this sunny
north facing site as an enticement to land
bank and build on. Bursting with personality
and 1960/70s architectural features, this
property is crying out for a new owner to
show it some TLC. In original condition but
with all earthquake repairs completed and
the home fully insured, you can move in and
live in comfort while making plans to restore
the property to former glory or plan your
new development
The layout offers flexibility with the kitchen,
living and dining areas interconnected and
opening into the north-facing garden. A third
separate living area completes the communal
areas. Downstairs, two double bedrooms
provide accommodation supported by a
functional family-style bathroom. Creating
an opportunity to convert to a wonderful
master suite, a third huge bedroom is
hidden away at the top of a spiral staircase.
This upstairs space includes a landing with
built-in shelving which would lend itself
exceptionally well to creating a cosy reading
nook or study area.
Exposed beams, beautiful wood panelling
and integrated storage are all standout
features of the era, and the possibilities are

Young boxers go without food
• By Gordon Findlater
FASTING DURING Ramadan
and dropping down a weight
division wasn’t getting in the
way of Mujib (Jai) Ghazizada
winning the most scientific elite
boxer award at the South Island
Golden Gloves.
Ghazizada won the 64kg elite
male title by winning his three
fights at the Golden Gloves
held at the Kaiapoi Club at the
weekend. Following his gold
medal-winning bout he was then
awarded the most scientific elite
boxer.
He joins an elite list of
boxers to have won the trophy
including one of his idols –
current WBU Welterweight
World Championship Bowyn
Morgan – who won it in 2011
and 2012.
“When I took the trophy I saw

boxer,” said Ghazizada.
The 24-year-old would normally
fight in the 69kg division.
However, due to Ramadan –
which means abstaining from
food and drink between sunrise
and sunset – he dropped down a
weight division.
“Normally I weigh around
67kg,” said Ghazizada.
“It was a bit difficult to
recover, but it was just a
mind-set. I just told myself
to never give up and give 100

but still land winners
• By Jacob Page
ST BEDE’S College student
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 plays under-16 rugby for
the 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.
CHAMP: Byron
Antal shows off

most improved
trophy.
“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.
Lock sets sights on world
champs of a different kind
• By Gordon Findlater
NEW BRIGHTON lock Boris
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

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

to the next level.

As local MP, I’m always looking
at ways to help our residents be
heard on what they need to get
ahead - and listening to a local
businesses is a big part of that.
Last week, I hosted National’s
leader, Simon Bridges, in Northern
Christchurch to visit Christchurch
Engine Centre for a briefing and
tour of the business. This major
industry houses state-of the-art
equipment and training classrooms,
and it was good to bring Simon
down to hear directly from business
around the support they need.
I’ve always said the Belfast to
Pegasus motorway extension
is the logical next step to the
Western Belfast Bypass and the
Northern Corridor in moving traffic
seamlessly through our region.
Readers will be aware of my
petition and ongoing fight to save
this project, promised by National
in 2017, after $5 billion was
redirected by Government from
state highway funding to invest
in Auckland public transport.
Our residents appreciated the
opportunity to speak directly to
National’s leader, Simon Bridges,
at a packed public meeting I
held to talk about the need for
this important project. We will
continue the fight.
Yesterday, National’s Health
Caucus joined me in visiting
Pegasus Health and other health
services in Christchurch for a
briefing around the work they
do in supporting our region’s
health and mental-health needs.
Keeping connected at grassroots
level with the organisations
that provide important services
ensures our policies are
continually relevant and effective.
My over 60s coffee mornings are
proving popular and I’m looking
forward to meeting you at the
Belfast Football Rugby Club, so
look out for my invite through your
letter box. I look forward to some
interesting discussions.

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 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 his Hornby Titans
take out the South Island
indoor cricket championships
at Riccarton’s Howzat! Indoor
Sports Centre.
James’ team defeated
Dunedin’s Metro Muskets 86-83
in a match never lacking in fastpaced
action.
Hornby “had to dig it in’’
for the last four games of the
competition, after a loss to
Central Sharks and Metro
Muskets in the round-robin
games.
Their remaining games were
“must-win matches” to keep
in the running for the final, in
which his team got redemption
against the Muskets to take home
the title.
The 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 the national
indoor cricket championship
later this month at Palmerston
North.
The Canterbury premier men’s
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 Canterbury 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,
when the team missed 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 at the 2019

held in Palmerston North from
September 12-14.
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 team and be selected for
the New Zealand open premier
team.
Burnside and
St Thomas in
top-of-table
football clash
BURNSIDE HIGH School
will take on St Thomas of
Canterbury College tomorrow
in a top-of-the-table schools
premier football match at the
Christchurch Football Centre.
The game will be a rematch
of last year’s final, which saw
St Thomas’ claim the title 2-1.
Burnside have won four of their
five games this season to sit
second on the table. Their first
dropped points came in a 1-1
draw with third-placed Papanui
High School at English Park last
week.
Meanwhile, after six games St
Thomas’ have been untouchable.
They are unbeaten, scoring 36
goals and conceding none. In
their last match, they hammered
Middleton Grange 8-0, with
captain Tom Stewart scoring a
hat-trick.
A win for either team
tomorrow night will provide a
massive boost to their chances
of qualifying for the boys Lotto
premier secondary school
tournament in Napier later this
year.
Kick off is at 5.30pm.

NOR’WEST NEWS
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.

property in a stunning harbour position,

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.”

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.”

Love the life
you choose
When you move into a Summerset retirement village, you’re not just
moving house – you’re joining a vibrant and welcoming community
where you’ll feel completely at home.
At Summerset we put you at the heart of everything
we do, so you can enjoy the freedom of living the life
you choose.
The perfect home is waiting for you. From villas and townhouses, to
apartments – you’ll find a place to make your own. Our homes are
accessible, high-quality, and there are no worries about maintenance or
upkeep as we do it all for you. Pets are also welcome, and you can even
go away on holiday knowing your home will be safe and secure. We’ll
also make sure you’re aware of all costs, giving you the certainty that
there won’t be any unexpected surprises.
When it comes to activities and events, there’s always something
happening to keep our Summerset community involved and
entertained, and you can choose to do as much or as little as you like.
If you need some extra care or support, our continuum of care means
we’ll be there for you as your needs change, giving you the peace of
mind to continue living life to its fullest.
Over 5,000 residents are already enjoying the Summerset life across
25 villages around New Zealand. If you’re interested in Summerset for
yourself or a family member, come and visit one of our Christchurch
villages to find out more about the Summerset life.
