No plans to improve safety at 

Church Corner intersection 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

NO CHANGES are in the 

pipeline to reconstruct a busy 

intersection in Upper Riccarton – 

in spite of there being more than 

100 crashes over the last 19 years. 

The city council is not prioritising 

improving 

the crash-prone 

Riccarton/Yaldhurst 

Rd intersection 

in spite 

of recording a 

high number of 

car collisions. 

Steffan 

Thomas 

Data from the 

New Zealand 

Transport 

Agency shows from 2000 there 

have been two serious crashes, 20 

minor crashes and 86 non-injury 

crashes. 

Its transport operations 

manager Steffan Thomas said 

this is due to other intersections 

having a greater need for 

improvements. 

“However, we recognise that 

there have been a number of 

crashes at this intersection and 

are investigating potential options 

for improvement,” he said. 

Questions over whether safety 

improvements were needed were 

prompted following a crash on 

Tuesday.

THE LOCAL body elections in October 

are shaping up as the most fascinating for 

years. 

Lianne Dalziel is still a lone contender 

for mayor. But the battle for council seats is 

well and truly under way. 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board member 

Catherine Chu has her sights set on Vicki Buck’s Riccarton 

Ward seat. 

She has done her apprenticeship in local body politics on the 

community board and now thinks it’s time to step up a notch. 

Says Chu: “I’ve already said this to Vicki, she does an amazing 

job. I’m doing it because I’m passionate about Riccarton and 

Christchurch . . . my intentions are to represent the community, 

not beat someone.” 

Noble stuff, but to win an election you need to be prepared to 

fight.

Cruising behaviour new term for boy racers 


IF YOU are hooning around 

the western suburbs in your 

car, you now won’t be labelled 

a “boy racer” by community 

representatives. 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board has 

renamed the term “boy racing” 

to “cruising behaviour” following 

concerns the 

words were not 

appropriate. 

The topic 

emerged when 

deputy chairwoman 

Helen 

Broughton 

filed a motion 

Helen 

Broughton 

calling for increased 

enforcement 

of police 

against boy racers on Deans Ave. 

It will be discussed at the 

board’s meeting today. 

Before the motion was brought 

to the board, the term was 

changed to “cruising behaviour” 

due to concerns from board 

chairman Mike Mora. 

“If you are a girl for an example 

driving a car, you are not a 

boy racer are you? If you are a 

25-year-old or a 38-year-old you 

are not a boy racer,” he said. 

His other concern was the city 

council has a “no cruising bylaw” 

in place, not a “boy racer” bylaw. 

Said Mr Mora: “How would 

you feel if you were pulled up by a 

policeman . . . you said: ‘Well I am 

not a boy,’ and you went to court 

and you could prove you are 

not a boy but it is under the boy 

racer legislation.” 

Daniel Cossar, who organised 

the notorious Aves Invasion event 

over Easter, said the term “boy 

racer” is not offensive at all and 

people can call them what they 

like. 

Canterbury metro area commander 

Superintendent Lane 

Todd said the term boy racer has 

sometimes been an issue and police 

instead call them anti-social 

road users. 

He said reported calls for 

service in relation to this issue 

at Deans Ave has been low for 

several months. 

The city council implemented 

no cruising restrictions on Deans, 

Moorhouse, Fitzgerald and Bealey 

Aves in June 2010 in response to 

complaints about driving behaviour. 

Penalties for cruising range 

from $150-$1000. 

Residents have also been 

advised if they are concerned

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. 

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.

ARTISTIC: A mural could be painted on the Denton Park velodrome to mark 

Hornby’s role in the 1974 Commonwealth Games. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

Mural proposed to 

brighten Denton Park 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

A MURAL to mark 

Hornby’s historic role in 

the 1974 Commonwealth 

Games could be on the 

cards for Denton Park. 

Since late last year, the 

Greater Hornby Residents’ 

Association has been looking 

at painting a mural on 

the front of the Denton 

Park Velodrome. 

Its chairman Marc Duff 

said it is currently working 

through artistic designs 

with the city council for 

the mural. 

He said it is hoped the 

mural will also deter graffiti. 

A presentation on the 

project was made to the 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board 

recently. 

“I think it is twopronged. 

It will give 

Hornby a real feature piece 

of art that people can see 

from the Main South Rd. 

It should cut down on the 

Marc Duff 

vandalism and graffiti as 

well,” Mr Duff said. 

The 1974 Commonwealth 

Games logo is one 

of the artistic designs being 

considered for the mural. 

Denton Park was built in 

1970 for the games. 

“As far as we are 

concerned it is the last 

Commonwealth building 

standing that was used 

. . . it is quite a historical 

building,” Mr Duff said. 

Work is planned to get 

under way in the summer 

if the project is approved 

by the city council. 

03 349 5050 

Mr Duff said the association 

is also planning 

to feature each of Denton 

Park sports club’s most 

successful athletes on the 

mural. 

But it is not the only 

project planned to brighten 

Denton Park. 

A memorial plaque 

honouring Stanley David 

Denton, who donated Denton 

Park in 1952, is also in 

the pipeline. 

The association has also 

been working on getting 

the plaque to be placed in 

front of the Denton Park 

Velodrome. 

Association member 

Mark Peters presented the 

idea to the board last week 

and is working on getting 

approval from the city 

council. 

He said the goal is for 

the association to have a 

launch at the end of the 

year to unveil both the mural 

and memorial plaque. 

The costs for both 

projects are yet to be 

established.

Riccarton Ward candidates 

• By Julia Evans 

VICKI BUCK is one of the city’s 

most well known and longest 

standing politicians. 

But that is not stopping 

23-year-old financial adviser 

and Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board member 

Catherine Chu from taking on 

the former mayor for the city 

council’s Riccarton Ward seat. 

Ms Chu has lived in the 

Riccarton Ward her whole life 

and will run in the October 

12 local body elections under 

the centre-right Independent 

Citizens banner. 

“I have thoroughly enjoyed 

my work on the community 

board and my strong involvement 

with the diverse communities 

in our ward. Over the past six 

months I have been approached 

by many local residents 

encouraging me to stand for 

council,” she said. 

“It is clear Riccarton residents 

want change. I offer a fresh 

perspective and will work hard to 

represent local views at council, 

it’s time council listened.” 

Cr Buck was first elected to the 

city council in 1975 when she was 

19 and became the first female 

mayor in 1989. 

In the 2016 election, she ran 

unopposed. But she welcomes Ms 

Chu’s bid. 

The revolution 

in heat pumps 

is here now! 

Vicki Buck 

“That’s the nature of local 

government,” she said. 

Cr Buck said she was 

concerned about Independent 

Citizens lobbying for asset sales. 

“No concern with the person, 

just some concern with the policies.” 

She would be focusing on the 

“pile of issues” she still wants to 

tackle. 

“The threat we face with water 

is the big one,” Cr Buck said. 

She said it was “incredibly 

scary” thinking about the 

increasing nitrate levels in the 

water. 

But there was also the potential 

for permanent chlorination and 

loss of control over three waters 

services to lobby against. 

“And obviously climate change.

have finalised by the end of this 

term, which is what’s motivating 

me to keep going.” 

Ms Chu is not ignorant of the 

challenge she will face campaigning 

against Cr Buck. 

“I’m really excited,” she said. 

“I’ve already said this to Vicki, 

she does an amazing job. I’m 

doing it because I’m passionate 

about Riccarton and Christchurch 

. . . my intentions are to 

represent the community, not

Ms Chu said Cr Buck was an 

“inspiration” behind her running 

at a young age. 

“I want to encourage more 

younger people, more diverse 

people to get into local 

government – whether that’s 

council or community board,” 

she said.

The crash involving two cars 

caused delays to traffic after the 

lane eastbound onto Yaldhurst 

Rd was blocked off. 

While there were no injuries, 

it is the third crash to be recorded 

at the intersection this 

year. 

The intersection is classified 

as medium risk. 

Latest traffic figures show 

13,000 vehicles use Riccarton 

Rd, 5600 Main South Rd and 

12,600 Yaldhurst Rd daily. 


Community Board chairman 

Mike Mora said he will ask 

city council staff to assess the 

intersection at the next board 

meeting. 

“What you can’t engineer is 

driver behaviour, that is one of 

the things we have problems 

with. If people are looking and 

are alert and everybody is doing 

their signals right it shouldn’t be 

a problem but it doesn’t mean 

we shouldn’t have a look at it,” 

he said. 

The Ilam and Upper Riccarton 

Residents’ Association 

chairman John Reddiford said 

there needs to be clearer signage 

and maybe something written 

on the road.

Upgrade 

on track 

for library 

• By Jess Gibson 

WORK IS on track for the 

Fendalton Library and Service 

Centre to reopen to the public on 

July 29. 

The work inside the building is 

80 per cent complete. 

The interior upgrades will be 

finished once the installation of 

the new ceiling tiles and the new 

customer services counter are 

done. 

Both are expected to be completed 

by the end of June. 

On the outside of the building, 

the new weather-proof rubber has 

been applied on the south side of 

the roof and is currently being applied 

to the north side. 

The new heating, ventilation, 

and air conditioning technology 

have arrived on site and plinths 

will be installed on the roof next 

week so the technology can then 

be craned up to be installed. 

The library has been closed 

since March 4. 

A mobile library vehicle has 

been visiting the library car 

park three times a week and the 

Fendalton service desk has been 

operating out of a temporary 

location at Fendalton Village, 376 

Ilam Rd. 


A LONG battle to restore one of 

the city’s most historic churches 

is now on the “home straight.” 

For nearly eight years, volunteers 

have been fundraising for 

more than $2 million to restore 

the St Peter’s Anglican Church. 

The Upper Riccarton church, 

which was consecrated in 1858, 

was damaged in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

The hard work has paid off 

with $2.1 million raised by the 

church. Restoration work will 

start in April. 

Parish reverend Nick Mountfort 

said he is very excited but 

still needs to find an additional 

$400,000 to cover the costs. 

The main work for the restoration 

of the church located on 

Yaldhurst Rd is strengthening 

the ceilings and walls. 

Rev Mountfort said steel 

beams will be run under the 

building to strengthen it along 

with bracing in the ceiling and 

walls. 

“In the event of an earthquake, 

nobody will be in danger in that 

building. Which is reassuring because 

stone buildings in Christchurch 

are a bit scary,” he said. 

The original architecture of 

the church will be maintained 

while the north and south transept 

will be extended to allow for 

more amenities that were not in 

the old building. 

The church has a number of 

fundraising efforts planned with 

a garage sale in September and a 

ball next year. 

It is also running a living stone 

fundraiser where members of 

the community can sponsor a 

living stone from the church for 

$500 or a block for $1000 and 

their names will be listed on the 

walls of the restoration. 

Rev Mountfort said it is continuing 

to apply to trusts and 

charities around the world for 

the final funding needed. 

He said people with links to 

the church and community 

members have been very generous 

with helping the church 

raise $2.1 million so far. 

The city council granted 

$150,000 from its capital endowment 

fund in 2017 for the cause. 

It is estimated the church will 

be restored by August 2020.

No plans to demolish ‘eyesore’ 


THE “APPALLING” state the 

old Sockburn School site has 

been left in is unlikely to be 

cleaned up any time soon. 

The Ministry of Education has 

no plans to demolish the buildings 

located at 34 Springs Rd in 

spite of calls 

from the community. 

The old 

school site has 

been left vacant 

after Wigram 

Primary 

Natalie Bryden 

School moved 

to its new site 

EYESORE: The Ministry of Education has no plans to demolish the old Sockburn School site in 

Hornby. 

at The Runway in Wigram Skies 

at the end of last year. 


Community Board member Natalie 

Bryden said the building is 

getting “totally vandalised” and 

all the windows are boarded up. 

“I don’t see why we should 

have a bloody eyesore in our 

community,” she said. 

Her views were backed by 

Hornby resident Mark Peters, 

who is supportive of the building 

being demolished. 

“We have noticed a bit of tagging 

has begun to emerge. It has 

offered itself a bit of a potential 

problem in the community and 

they need to start doing something 

quickly,” he said. 

MoE head of education infrastructure 

Kim Shannon said it 

is continuing to manage the site 

but no decisions had been made 

about its long-term future. 

But Ms Bryden said is concerned 

there are no plans to 

demolish the buildings because 

it is only going to attract undesirables. 

The board will contact the 

MoE over the issue. 

Ms Bryden said when South 

Hornby School relocated to its 

new site in 2017, the buildings 

were demolished soon after by 

the MoE. 

“They did it to South Hornby 

School really quickly so why 

can’t they do it to this one?” she 

said. 

The old school site is managed 

by Land Information New 

Zealand. 

“We only acquire and retain 

land needed for the delivery of 

education. If a site is no longer 

required for education purposes 

it will be declared surplus and 

processed for disposal, “ Ms 

Shannon said. 

She said this provides other 

agencies the opportunity to signal 

their interest in properties 

before they are sold.

‘Heroes’ 

thanked on 

Westfield wall 

HUNDREDS OF messages 

thanking firefighters, police, 

paramedics, nurses, teachers 

and members of the armed 

forces, were shared by the public 

at Westfield Riccarton recently. 

In a colourful array of postit 

notes, visitors to the 

shopping precinct added kind 

words of thanks to a special 

“Kiwi Hero” wall, created by 

2degrees. 

The wall was for everyday 

heroes who have made a 

difference to their lives and 

the lives of their family or 

friends. 

From shout-outs to the 

dedicated medics who save 

lives each day, to the teachers 

nurturing the development of 

children across the region, the 

messages - shared by members 

of the public in city – captured 

the impact these unsung heroes, 

who make it their mission to put 

others first, have made. 

A keen willingness to share 

their gratitude and other kind 

sentiments, saw hundreds of 

messages from Cantabrians, 

including Mayor Lianne Dalziel, 

cover the large wall within a 

matter of hours.



Your Local Views 

Readers respond to the 

Western News article 

about the city council’s 

proposal to lower speed 

limits in Halswell and 

Hornby 

WESTERN NEWS 

Local 


Now 


Douglas Bath – I am 

pleased to see speed limit 

reductions. One of my concerns 

is the road between Hornby mall 

and the Caltex/Dress-Smart 

side in particular with regard to 

pedestrians crossing this main 

road. My thought to help would 

be a road traffic speed limit of 

30km/h from say opposite Mitre 

10 MEGA Hornby to south of 

McDonald’s. 

Anne Cook – I am totally in 

agreement of the proposed road 

reduction speeds in all the roads 

in the article. We are currently 

caretakers of a property in 

Hodgens Rd. When trying to 

access it from Springs Rd, traffic 

often toots and becomes annoyed 

because we are slowing down. 

Access from Hodgens turning 

right onto Springs is a further 

nightmare, everyone speeds 

up leaving Prebbleton and it’s 

nearly always an issue. Hodgens 

Rd at the weekends turns into 

a race track with cars speeding 

along Hodgens into Fountains 

and along Marshs. Access 

to and from the fruit shop 

on the corner of Marshs and 

Springs Rds is dangerous. Speed 

decreases in the area would 

certainly be welcomed. My small 

grandchildren will be living in 

Hodgens Rd and it would make 

me very happy to see cars going 

slower. I am sure dog walking 

and horse riding would also be 

a lot safer with reduced speed 

limits. I do hope this happens 

and thank you for allowing me 

to have my say. 

Joy Sixtus responds to 

the Western News article 

about buses running 

behind schedule on 

Halswell and Lincoln Rds 

due to busy traffic 

Instead of causing further 

congestion and obstruction to 

Halswell Rd with cars and buses, 

questions should instead be 

asked in relation to the extended 

time it is taking with the 

cycleway and new intersection 

on Sparks (and Hendersons 

intersection) Rd. This has 

been going on for more than 

18 months with intermittent 

road closures taking away any 

certainty for traffic coming 

from south of Halswell (Tai 

Tapu, Little River, Akaroa, etc), 

as people tend to all converge 

on Lincoln Rd in case they 

encounter difficulties on Sparks 

Rd. The other issue outstanding 

on Lincoln Rd is the continued 

deferment of extending and 

creating the two lanes between 

the Lyttelton St and Hoon Hay 

Rd intersections, which should 

have been completed as per the 

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

work schedule by approximately 

2007. The combination of the 

above problems is the cause of 

the congestion delaying bus 

times at present, so a narrow 

blinkered view and proposal by 

introducing a “bus lane” will 

not solve this problem and is 

likely to make matters worse, 

especially for drivers. Nor will 

it lead to more people using 

public transport until there is 

a designated parking hub for 

cars to use the buses and, more

reviewed from the original plans 

post-earthquake. 

Readers respond to the 

Western News article on 

fly-tipping at Roberts Rd 

Steve Hawkins – This issue 

is of concern to many other areas 

of Hornby. However, Roberts 

Rd is one of the major dumping 

areas. I agree public vigilance 

and education will go a long 

way to minimise the issue. My 

solution is to close this road 

completely as it is mostly used as 

a shortcut through to Hornby. 

Campbell Neil – Brilliant. 

Signs and pamphlet drops – 

every vandal’s kryptonite. How 

about not charging too much at 

the dump stations? Or even try 

accepting rubbish in the first 

place, even if they can’t on sell 

it due to its condition. If people 

realise what fridges/freezers/ 

stoves etc are worth as scrap, 

they mightn’t be so keen to 

dump them? 

New Ilam fire and training station design revealed 

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.

Mixed feelings 

for council 

– survey 

WATER AND the state of 

roads are the two major sources 

of discontent with the city’s 

residents. 

The point of contact survey and 

the general service satisfaction 

survey are two of the measures 

the city council uses to gauge its 

performance and to identify areas 

for improvement. 

The condition of roads and 

footpaths and the quality of 

the water remain a source of 

discontent for people – 27 per cent 

of people were happy with the 

state of the roads and 37 per cent 

with water quality. 

“The findings of these 

surveys are valuable because 

they highlight the areas where 

residents feel we need to do 

better,’’ chief executive Karleen 

Edwards said. 

Dr Edwards said the survey 

findings also show residents don’t 

fully understand city council 

decision-making processes or how 

they can get involved. 

“That is something we need to 

address,” she said. 

The general service 

satisfaction survey shows 62 

per cent of those surveyed are 

generally satisfied with the 

council’s performance – up from 

55 per cent last year. 

A $40,000 electric vehicle is one

to deliver new and exciting 

innovations, as well as prizes 

galore. 

“We’re thrilled to be giving

from Creative Intentions,” she 

said. 

“Anyone who books a

Riccarton 

students 

to perform 

Grease 

ONE OF the most popular 

musicals for high school 

students to perform will take the 

stage this month. 

Riccarton High School will 

present the classic Grease. 

The well-known 1971 musical 

follows 10 working-class 

teenagers as they navigate the 

complexities of peer pressure, 

politics, personal core values, 

and love. 

The school’s head of drama 

Charles Grubb said it is a fun 

musical and has a nice story 

showing although people are 

from different parts of society, 

it doesn’t mean they can’t get 

along. 

The lead role of Danny will 

be played by Yea Rin Park while 

Sandy will be played by Carmen 

Holdaway. 

About 80 students are involved 

in the show including the 

student band and operating the 

technical equipment. 

Mr Grubb said the show was 

chosen because it was popular 

staff and a good show about 

finding your identity. 

The musical will be held June 

26, 27, 28 at 7pm and 2pm and 

7pm, June 29, at the Riccarton 

High School hall. 

•Tickets can be purchased 

from the school office or at

Plastic-free challenge for ‘Eco-Warriors’ 

• By Kim Thomas 

OAKLANDS SCHOOL pupils 

were challenged to pack rubbishfree 

lunchboxes last week in an 

initiative aimed at benefiting 

both pupils and the environment. 

Rubbish-free lunch week was 

organised by the school’s community 

problem-solving group 

the “Eco-Warriors”. 

All week they recorded numbers 

of people with lunchboxes 

free of plastic waste. 

If more pupils had rubbish-free 

lunches than when the initiative 

ran late last year, the school will 

hold a mufti-day. 

Isis McKenzie, 10, is one of the 

Eco-Warriors. 

She said the group wants to 

encourage and educate students 

to cut down on the amount of 

plastic they bring to school. 

The ultimate aim is for Oaklands 

School to become completely 

rubbish-free. 

“We hope students will see how 

easy it is to bring less plastic in 

their lunchboxes and it might get 

them thinking about the other 

plastic they throw away. Rubbish 

and plastic makes a big impact 

on the oceans and its sea life. It’s 

killing sea life and making some 

species endangered or extinct.” 

Oaklands School deputy 

principal and Eco-Warrior 

leader Caroline Martin said the 

rubbish-free lunchbox initiative 

was one of a number the group 

had done or were planning to 

improve the environment of their 

SCHOOLS 

school and the wider Halswell 

community. 

Last year the Eco-Warriors 

were involved in a clean-up day 

at Westlake Park in Halswell. 

They were making a video 

about how plastic damages the 

environment and how to minimise 

waste. 

They created an environmentally-friendly 

school mascot 

called “Nutty the Eco-Warrior” 

and resources about sustainability.

A number of new buildings

Ms Martin said the Eco-

thinking about ways to make 

their redeveloped school more 

environmentally-friendly.

$10k grant 

for Burnside 

Bowling Club 


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 


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 

WORN OUT: The cricket nets and artificial grass at Burnside 

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.

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

The transtasman series

It will be a rematch of last year’s

After six rounds in this year’s

been untouchable. They have 

gone unbeaten, scoring 36 goals 

and not conceding. 

In their last match they hammered 

Middleton Grange 8-0,

Wairakei Road Local 

has NEW OWNERS 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE CHRISTCHURCH City BMX 

Club has been recognised for overcoming 

adverse weather conditions to win the 

event of the year at the recent Cycling 

New Zealand Awards. 

Club president Quentin Trenberth was 

on hand at the awards dinner in 

Cambridge to collect the honour. 

In January 2018, the club hosted the 

South Island Titles at its track in Kyle 

Park. It also doubled as a round of the 

national series with elite riders, including 

Olympic silver medallist Sarah Walker. 

However, a shadow of doubt was cast over 

the event with two days of torrential rain 

prior to the weekend of racing. 

“The Wednesday night, when it started 

bucketing down, it was chaos. We put out 

requests for plastic covers because we’d 

seen other places cover their track,” said 

track manager Michael Stronach. 

The club put out a call for help through 

its Facebook page and were soon offered 

help from Safety Nets NZ. 

“He offered us rolls and rolls of (plastic).

BMX club takes 

out award after 

fighting weather 

There was about 10 of us down there at 

10 o’clock at night in the pouring rain 

covering the track with this plastic,” said 

Stronach. 

On the Thursday and Friday before the 

event, the club brought in a water pump 

and had volunteers constantly sweeping 

water off the track and covers during 

persistent rain in the hope of being able to 

run the event over the weekend. 

With rain easing late on Friday, the club 

made one final push to dry the track. 

“I’ve been to a lot of speedway and they 

often dry the track with helicopters . . . we 

put a Facebook post out and unbelievably 

one of our members has a father who has a 

helicopter. He offered to fly the helicopter 

over the track for 45min,” said Stronach. 

“It was quite amazing actually watching 

a helicopter come into a suburban area for 

something like that.” 

After the use of the helicopter, racing 

was delayed until the afternoon. From 

there, the event was a success with near 

30 deg C weather and a larger crowd than 

anticipated due to extra media coverage of 

the event. 

BIG EFFORT: Just 

one day before 

racing began, the 

BMX track at Kyle 

Park looked more 

like a swamp. 

BRYDWR’S Little Brown Jug has new

improvements to the business. In 

particular the food.

WESTERN 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,

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

asse sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement 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.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

However, the public has li tle

Only eight submi sions were

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19. 

Elite butcher cut above the world 


THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to 

o pose the pla ned qua ry near 

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
