THINGS ARE heating up in the Papanui 

Ward (see page 1). 

The People’s Choice, a well-organised 

and powerful political group, is taking the

It has named Nathan McCluskey

McCluskey made an unsuccessful bid for the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board in 2016. 

Outspoken community board member John Stringer is also

Retirement village expansion 


AN INCREASING ageing 

population has led to a proposed 

$25 million expansion of a 

Fendalton retirement home. 

Holly Lea Village will build the 

Morven apartment development, 

which will add 28 apartments to 

the site at 123 

Fendalton Rd. 

Prices for occupation 

right 

agreements 

range from 

$650,000 to 

over $1 million. 

Graham 

Wilkinson 

Executive director 

Graham 

Wilkinson said 

the apartments 

will be more spacious and 

well appointed than the typical 

retirement village apartment and 

generally have two bedrooms 

and two full bathrooms. 

Already four apartments of 

the first stage of eight have been 

reserved. 

Mr Wilkinson said Holly Lea’s 

vision was to provide a complete, 

upscale retirement village and 

care facilities for Fendalton 

residents. 

“In the last two years, we have 

experienced a waiting list and 


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 

Menzshed, Bishopdale Community 

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 

Greenwood said the group are 

waiting to have details checked 

off by the community and shop 

owners before work can officially 

begin. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

that demand and our wider plan 

involving a new boutique aged 

care and memory care hospital 

for Holly Lea so we can cater for 

all needs of the immediate community.” 

In addition to the $15.5 million 

costs of the apartments, there are 

expenses involving land where 

six houses once stood, design 

fees, chattels, landscape. 

The development is named 

Morven in reference to the 

founder of Holly Lea, Alan 

pledged $10,000 in December to 

help upgrade the mall. 

However, none of the $10,000 

has been spent yet. 

Mr Greenwood said the group 

are trying to get most of the material 

and labour work completed

He called the local town

The first stage will be complete 

in Spring 2020 and the second 

stage early in 2021.

construction will begin on

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 


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 


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 

coming on to Cranford 

Richard Gray responds 

to the Nor’west News 

article about options 

for the contentious 

Harewood, Breens and 

Gardiners intersection 

that are currently out for 

consultation 

I am pleased that Aaron 

Keown has been so staunch on 

his position over the years and 

hope he is successful in futureproofing 

this intersection for 

the area. 

St and, unfortunately, 

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 

OPPOSED: Mike 

Davidson says one 

reason the Papanui- 

Innes Community 

Board decided to 

vote against the 

Downstream Effects 

Management Plan was 

because of its negative 

impact on Cranford St. 

DEMP. By not endorsing 

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 

and it will continue to do 

so.




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 

done, the services currently 

provided through the centre 

will be provided from the

“The work that is being done

made. We expect the work 

on the service centre to be

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. 

Congratulations

Challenges 

faced to 

remove trees 


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 

home. The taste corner is always

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 


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. 

MESSAGE: 

Arwen 

Valks 

wants to 

publish a 

book that 

could help 

people 

with 

mental 

health 

struggles.

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 


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. 

WELL DONE DAD: Greg Wilson showed experience can still 

beat youth when he pipped his son Campbell at the South 

Island championship open strathspey and reel event. 

PHOTO: STEPHEN JAQUIERY 

She said the majority of 

events were for the Otago 

championships, but among 

them were six South Island 

championship events. 

Because the Otago event 

was so close to the New 

Zealand Highland Dancing 

Championships early next 


month, many of the country’s 

top dancers competed as a 

“practice run”, she said. 

“It’s an event that attracts 

some of the best dancers in the 

country every year. 

“At this event, you see people 

who were, or are, New Zealand 

champions.”

day at Papanui Bush. 

Students and residents 

help plant out reserve 


MORE THAN 40 people 

braved the frost to get 

involved in a community 

planting at Papanui Bush 

on Arbor Day. 

Papanui High School 

students, residents, Rotary 

members, Papanui-Innes

members and city council 

staff put in a big effort to 

weed, plant and pick up 

A YOUTH event aimed 

at empowering future 

leaders to be effective 

global citizens is set to 

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 

part in the New Zealand 

China Youth Leadership 

Summit. 

It will celebrate the close 

relationship between sister 

rubbish at Bridgestone 

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. 

St Andrew’s College 

rector Christine Leighton 

will host the summit.

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 


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. 

Mr Young said without the

Park are set to be replaced. 

help of the city council and 

Dubai Diamond Traders, the 

project would cost about $14,000. 

The club has launched a 

Givealittle page to raise money 

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 

fund improvements to the nets 

since 2016. However, members 

have struggled to fund the 

project on top of the general 

running costs of the cricket club.

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 

Bowyn Morgan’s name on it, I’m 

a huge Bowyn Morgan fan . . . I 

look up to him, he’s an amazing 

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 

his South Island 

Golden Gloves 

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 


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 

and the next day having a 

different training for a different

Korfball Championships in

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.

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

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. 

•Other fixtures: Cashmere 

v Rangiora; Christ’s College v

REAL ESTATE 

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

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

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.”

we’ll be there for you as your needs change, giving you the peace of 

mind to continue living life to its fullest.
