Funding<br />
boost for<br />
Edgeware<br />
pool<br />
project<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
THE EDGEWARE pool project<br />
is set to take a major step forward<br />
after a $20,000 grant to undertake<br />
a feasibility study.<br />
The grant came from then New<br />
Zealand Lotteries Commission.<br />
St Albans Pavilion and Pool<br />
Group chairman<br />
Paul Somerville<br />
said the group<br />
is “thrilled” to<br />
have received the<br />
grant.<br />
The study will<br />
assess the practicality<br />
of the new<br />
Edgeware Pool<br />
Paul<br />
Somerville<br />
designs and whether it will be<br />
an asset to the community. After<br />
the study, the group can apply<br />
for money from major charitable<br />
funding groups to build the pool.<br />
The group has been trying<br />
to fundraise the money since<br />
January while covering rates and<br />
administration costs.<br />
“When you go to the major<br />
funders you have to prepare a<br />
case. They really want to know all<br />
about the project and whether it’s<br />
feasible,” Mr Somerville said.<br />

THE REMARKABLE Jake Bailey is<br />
about to embark on another challenge –<br />
competing as an individual in the Coast to<br />
Coast (see page 3).<br />
Bailey of course is the well-publicised<br />
former Christchurch Boys’ High School head boy who fought off<br />
Burkitt’s non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, only to struggle to walk unassisted<br />
after the chemotherapy damaged the nerves in his legs.<br />
But just three years after the diagnosis, Bailey was part of<br />
a team which competed in this year’s event. That in itself was<br />
amazing.<br />
Now the 21-year-old will compete in the time-honoured event<br />
as an individual – which means running, kayaking and cycling<br />
the 243km course in the two-day individual event.<br />
Inspiring stuff. We could all learn a lot from Bailey.<br />

JAKE BAILEY has been bitten<br />
by the Kathmandu Coast to<br />
Coast bug and will line up in the<br />
race for a second time next year.<br />
He will compete as an<br />
individual in 2020 after being<br />
part of a three-person relay this<br />
year.<br />
It’s a remarkable turnaround<br />
for the former Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School head boy,<br />
who fought off Burkitt’s non-<br />
Hodgkin’s lymphoma, only to<br />
struggle to walk unassisted after<br />
chemotherapy damaged the<br />
nerves in his legs.<br />
But true to form, and his<br />
incredible resilience, in February<br />
– three years after his initial<br />
diagnosis – the 21-year-old took<br />
on the three-part 140km bike<br />
ride to cross the finish line in<br />
New Brighton alongside two<br />
of his ex-school mates, James<br />
Dunbar and Dalton Ewing.<br />
“The feeling of<br />
accomplishment was incredible.<br />
I was so humbled to have been<br />
able to be a part of an event with<br />
so much history and meaning<br />
to the Canterbury community<br />
– and also fairly grateful that I<br />
made it,” Bailey said.<br />
Almost as quickly as he<br />
crossed the finish line, like many<br />
who start their Coast to Coast<br />
journey as part of a team, Bailey<br />
has already set his sights on the<br />
challenge of completing the<br />
243km course in the two-day<br />
individual event.<br />
“Even the day before at the<br />
registration you start to feel<br />
how special the event is and<br />
how much it will mean to you to<br />
achieve the Kathmandu Coast<br />
to Coast, and then when you do<br />
cross that finish line, you just<br />
want to do it again,” he said.<br />
“It’s a tough race, there’s no<br />
doubt about it, but having grown<br />
up in Christchurch and seen<br />
family members and friends do<br />
it for years, I just want to be able<br />
to say I did that too, the whole<br />
thing on my own. I went from<br />
one side of the South Island to<br />
the other and it was all me.”<br />
Having recently completed the<br />
Tour de Cure, a 1400km bike<br />
race in Australia, Bailey says<br />
he is comfortable with the bike<br />
and run legs of the event, but<br />
mastering the kayak, including<br />
earning his grade two certificate,<br />
will be a challenge.<br />
“It’s probably my biggest<br />
challenge to learn the kayak,<br />
but I’ve got more than 200 days<br />
to get myself sorted, so I’m<br />
confident I’ve got enough time<br />
to get myself organised. And<br />
there are some fantastic people<br />
around that I’m sure will help<br />
me out along the way.”<br />
Now in remission for the<br />
third year, Bailey is also looking<br />
forward to continuing to<br />
demonstrate there is life after an<br />
illness like cancer.<br />
“I’d like to show survivors that<br />
they can go on to better things.<br />
That cancer doesn’t define them.<br />
I often meet parents whose<br />
kids are going through cancer<br />
and they’re incredibly worried<br />
about how their kids might<br />
come out the other side from a<br />
physical standpoint, and I guess<br />
I’m walking proof that life can<br />
be good, it can be great, and it<br />
shouldn’t hold you back.”<br />

Papanui writer turns mother’s war<br />
Lynette Hedrick grew<br />
up hearing stories of her<br />
mother’s World War 2<br />
romance. She said the<br />
30 letters between the<br />
doomed pair were crying<br />
out to be written into a<br />
novel. Julia Evans reports<br />
MATTIE EDGAR and Charlie<br />
Kincaid’s love story began with a<br />
chance meeting on a tram while<br />
World War 2 was raging in 1942.<br />
Two years later, it ended on pen<br />
and paper.<br />
Papanui writer Lynette Hedrick<br />
grew up listening to her mother<br />
Mattie’s stories about her long<br />
lost fiance, Charlie.<br />
“It’s my mother’s long-told true<br />
story. She would tell me about<br />
her missing fiance she met by<br />
chance.”<br />
Charlie was a United States<br />
Navy diver in WW2. He was<br />
stationed on repair ship, the<br />
USS Rigel, while her mother was<br />
training to be a hairdresser.<br />
They met in May, 1942, on a<br />
tram in Auckland.<br />
Mattie was in her late 20s<br />
and had a day off her study. She<br />
decided to spend it going to the<br />
cinema.<br />
When 23-year-old Charlie<br />
stepped on the tram, he sat next<br />
to her.<br />
“He politely introduced himself<br />
and asked if he could join her at<br />
the movies,” Hedrick said.<br />
“She just felt so drawn to him.”<br />
She said her mother and<br />
Charlie spent a lot of time<br />
together for the next six months<br />
– they went dancing, to the<br />
movies and spent time walking<br />
in the park.<br />
“What I can remember is that<br />
she had many happy outings with<br />
him.”<br />
But the romance was short<br />
lived and his ship was sent back<br />
to the Pacific, bound for New<br />
Caledonia, when Charlie had to<br />
say goodbye to Mattie.<br />
The USS Rigel was in Auckland<br />
from May, with officers working<br />
on Hobson Wharf until<br />
November.<br />
“He had his instructions and he<br />
had to say goodbye in November<br />
1942. Then he began writing to<br />
her.”<br />
After he left, for the next two<br />
years they wrote letters back and<br />
LOVE STORY:<br />
Lynette<br />
Hedrick wrote<br />
a book called<br />
The Rigel<br />
Affair, based<br />
on letters<br />
between her<br />
mother and a<br />
US Navy diver<br />
during WW2.<br />
forth. That chance meeting and<br />
the subsequent 30 letters are the<br />
basis of Hedrick’s new novel, The<br />
Rigel Affair.<br />
Hedrick and her husband<br />
Bud have researched Charlie’s<br />
history with help from the US<br />
Navy archives and his shipmates<br />
Leonard Anderson and Dave<br />
Jessup.<br />
“Both my husband and I<br />
contacted the navy headquarters<br />
in Washington DC and they gave<br />
us a lot of information about the<br />
USS Rigel,” she said.<br />
But Charlie’s navy days began<br />
with a bang.<br />
His first mission before he<br />
came to New Zealand on the ship<br />
was particularly notable. The USS<br />
Rigel sailed to Honolulu, Hawaii,<br />
in July 1941. She was still there<br />
on December 7, 1941, when the<br />
Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.<br />
“It was his first encounter, they<br />
couldn’t believe it,” Hedrick said.<br />
“It was parked at the back<br />
of the battleships so it wasn’t<br />
bombed by the Japanese.”<br />
Sustaining minor damage in<br />
the strike – which killed more<br />
than 2400 Americans and led<br />
to the US formally entering the<br />
war – the USS Rigel then sailed<br />
around the Pacific, repairing<br />
other battle ships.<br />
Mr Hedrick said it was a<br />
vital error on the part of the<br />
Japanese.<br />
“The Rigel was a huge ship, like<br />
a factory and it had the highest<br />
trained specialists and all the<br />
critical support functions. The<br />
fact that the Rigel came out with<br />
minor damage was a god send for<br />
the Americans,” he said.<br />
After leaving Auckland and<br />
New Caledonia, the USS Rigel<br />
went on to take part in one of<br />
the most savage battles of the<br />
Pacific war – the Guadalcanal<br />
campaign.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
In August 1942, the Allied<br />
forces, largely US marines,<br />
landed in the Solomon Islands.<br />
The USS Rigel didn’t reach the<br />
islands until November.<br />
It was the first major offensive<br />
by the Allies against the<br />
Japanese.<br />
The Japanese, who had<br />
occupied those islands, were<br />
eventually outnumbered and<br />
overwhelmed by the Allies.<br />
“Where the boys were in the<br />
Guadalcanal, it was the most<br />
horrific, nasty island,” Hedrick<br />
said.<br />
Mr Hedrick said Charlie would<br />
have been “hugely” involved in<br />
the fighting.<br />
“These guys were trained in<br />
explosives, they had significant<br />
training . . . he went on one<br />
mission where they were put<br />
behind enemy lines to blow up a<br />
submarine and get out.”<br />
After Guadalcanal in 1943, the<br />
USS Rigel travelled to Vanuatu,<br />
Australia and New Guinea.<br />
But while he was in the Pacific,<br />
he kept in constant contact with<br />
Mattie back in New Zealand.<br />
His letters were sporadic,<br />
commenting on what was going<br />
on during the war, as well as<br />
pining for Mattie.<br />
A lot of them were censored<br />
due to the nature of the missions.<br />
The USS Rigel earned four<br />
battle stars by the end of WW2.<br />
She was decommissioned in<br />
1946.<br />
However, Charlie left the USS<br />
Rigel and ended up back in<br />
Rhode Island, New York, at the<br />
end of 1943.<br />
“He sent her an engagement<br />
ring and money for her to join<br />
him,” Hedrick said.<br />
“But there were too many<br />
concerns about her trying to<br />
cross the Pacific when there was<br />
a war going on.”<br />
She said she wrote the story<br />
to give her mother and Charlie’s<br />
tale an ending, which never came<br />
for the pair. Although the book<br />
may differ from what happened<br />
in real life, being fiction based on<br />
reality.<br />
“In real life, my mother<br />
believed he was lost at sea,” she<br />
said. “She waited and waited, but<br />
never heard from him.”<br />
Mattie kept the letters in<br />
a chocolate box, where they<br />
remained until she was killed in<br />
a car accident in the 1980s.<br />
The Rigel Affair is Hedrick’s<br />
second published work, she<br />
is also an artist.“When I read<br />
WAR LETTERS:<br />
Mattie Edgar and<br />
Charlie Kincaid’s<br />
love story began<br />
with a chance<br />
meeting in 1942<br />
and led to a series<br />
of love letters.<br />
those 30 letters, they cried out<br />
for somebody to do something,”<br />
she said. “When I listened to<br />
my mother, it all seemed so<br />
powerful.”<br />
Hedrick is working on a sequel<br />
– so Charlie and Mattie’s story<br />
isn’t quite finished.<br />

Love letter from Charlie on<br />
<strong>June</strong> 29, 1943<br />
Darling,<br />
Another letter to let you<br />
know that I’m still alright. I’ve<br />
learned to relax quite a bit even<br />
though things are rather trying<br />
at times. Falling bombs and shell<br />
fire doesn’t bother me near as<br />
much as it used to. I guess I’ve<br />
become sort of used to it and<br />
now about the only thing I worry<br />
about is when you and I’ll be<br />
able to see each other. Somebody<br />
sure talked out of turn when we<br />
were down south because the<br />
Japs know where we are at and<br />
what we are up to. About the only<br />
good station we can pick up is<br />
Radio Tokyo, and the other night<br />
Tojo made a speech beamed at<br />
us. Here’s what he said, “Welcome<br />
USS Rigel to CENSORED<br />
Bay. We hope you enjoy stay<br />
while there. Anyhow it will be<br />
a short one for we are coming<br />
in and taking over July 1.”<br />
Personally I’m not worrying a hell<br />
of a lot about anything he says,<br />
and I still think we can shoot<br />
the pants off of the Japs anytime<br />
they feel like mustering around.<br />
If you can go over there go to<br />
Brisbane and I’m sure you’ll find<br />
everything the same as the time<br />
before you and I said goodbye.<br />
Love always, Kinky.<br />

PADDINGTON playground in Northcote<br />
is getting a $130,000 revamp.<br />
It is expected to receive a new modular<br />
play item, mega-swing set, see-saw,<br />
carousel and a wobbly frog rocker by the<br />
end of the year.<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community Board<br />
approved the renewal. A detailed design<br />
of the project will start soon before<br />
construction in spring.<br />
The city council received mostly<br />
positive feedback for the proposed<br />
renewal during consultation from March<br />
5 to April 7. Out of 24 submissions, 21<br />
supported the plan, two did not support<br />
the plan and one did not indicate a<br />
preference.<br />
City council staff also attended the<br />
‘breakfast club’ at Northcote School on<br />
March 20 to present the playground<br />
renewal to about 50 children. The pupils<br />
were asked to place a sticker on their<br />
favourite piece of equipment, which was<br />
the carousel.<br />
The playground was nearing the end<br />
of its life span and funding has been<br />
allocated for its renewal in the city<br />
council’s Long Term Plan.<br />

become whetu (stars), to make connections between the<br />

There are numerous stories of ‘Matariki’ giving<br />

part of a narrative about a group of stars seen above the<br />
horizon. The narratives located in these works relate to the<br />
land and sky, above and below us, on to the place we are<br />

in action, moving from one group of whetu to another each<br />
bearing its own relationship to the whole cosmology.<br />

RESIDENTS OF an upmarket<br />
street in Burnside near the<br />
Russley Golf Club have won the<br />
bid to have its on-street car parks<br />
removed.<br />
The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board has approved<br />
the removal of car parks<br />
at the start of Stableford Green.<br />
Residents of 17 homes on the<br />
street expressed concerns over<br />
safety issues to the community<br />
board in April after vehicles began<br />
using the all-day parks on<br />
both sides of the street. The car<br />
parks were being used because of<br />
the street’s close proximity to the<br />
airport.<br />
Local<br />
<strong>News</strong><br />
Now<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
GONE: On-street parking will be removed at the entrance of<br />
Stableford Green due to residents’ safety concerns.<br />
Battle won to get rid of car<br />
parks on Stableford Green<br />
Car parks will now be removed<br />
on Stableford Green for a distance<br />
of 87m on the side of the street<br />
closest to the airport and for 80m<br />
on the other side.<br />
On Memorial Ave, parking<br />
will be removed for 70m from<br />
the entrance of Stableford Green<br />
towards the airport.<br />
As the entrance to the golf<br />
club is on Stableford Green,<br />
the narrow street is used often<br />
by vehicles, including large<br />
trucks.<br />
When the parks were full, the<br />
8m wide street was almost as narrow<br />
as a single-lane.<br />
As Stableford Green is off<br />
Memorial Ave, some vehicles<br />
enter the street at 60km/h.<br />

Nurse’s idea to use paper<br />
pottles picked up by CDHB<br />
HOON HAY nurse Brian<br />
Salisbury’s idea to move from<br />
plastic to paper medication<br />
pottles could see nearly 1.2<br />
million plastic pottles saved from<br />
landfill every year.<br />
Mr Salisbury took the idea to<br />
the Canterbury District Health<br />
Board’s professional studies<br />
course, Collabor8, where he<br />
undertook a project called<br />
Reducing Waste at Te Whare<br />
Manaaki.<br />
“I feel great that what I thought<br />
was a little project has turned<br />
out to be reducing the CDHB’s<br />
carbon footprint, with the added<br />
bonus of saving money,” he said.<br />
Biodegradable paper<br />
medication pottles are now<br />
replacing plastic ones at all<br />
CDHB hospitals.<br />
The move will not only reduce<br />
its carbon footprint, but they also<br />
cost 33 per cent less – a bonus<br />
saving of about $10,000.<br />
RESCUE: Operational crew member Bjorn Stankowitz tests out<br />
the new jet ski.<br />
The 30ml pottles are suitable<br />
for liquid or dry medicines,<br />
which are administered to<br />
patients. Prior to the paper pottle<br />
being introduced, there were<br />
three different types of plastic<br />
pottles being ordered.<br />
Said supplies clinical product<br />
co-ordinator Deb Bamber:<br />
“Reducing to just one item will<br />
lessen our carbon footprint, with<br />
fewer deliveries, packaging, and<br />
storage.”<br />
THE SUMNER Lifeboat<br />
Institution has $35,000 in<br />
new equipment thanks to the<br />
generosity of two<br />
long-standing benefactors.<br />
The JI Urquhart Trust granted<br />
$20,000 for a jet ski and trailer<br />
and The Southern Trust has<br />
funded a $15,000 Kubota tractor.<br />
To pay homage to the JI<br />
Urquhart Trust, which has<br />
helped keep the institution afloat<br />
for eight years, it has called the jet<br />
ski Urquhart Trust<br />
Rescue.<br />
Said coxswain Blair Quane:<br />
“This year, when they heard we<br />
were looking for funding for a jet<br />
ski, they gave us extra to cover<br />
this purchase.”<br />
“We are very, very grateful to<br />
these trusts. Both have helped<br />

“As a community group, we<br />
didn’t have that sort of money<br />
to spend on it so we thought<br />
we would go for a grant. We<br />
are very pleased the Lottery<br />
Commission saw the benefit<br />
of the project and helped us<br />
out.”<br />
Mr Somerville said there is<br />
no time line for the feasibility<br />
study yet as the group are<br />
deciding which company to<br />
conduct it.<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />
said hearing about the grant was<br />
“the best news she has received<br />
all month.”<br />
“To receive this money which<br />
will allow them to progress is<br />
just fantastic,” Ms Jones said,<br />
“These guys aren’t being<br />
handed the project on a<br />
plate. This is a communitydriven<br />
project and there’s a lot<br />
they have to do, so good on<br />
them.”<br />
In 2016, the city council sold<br />
the land for the Edgeware Pool<br />
to the St Albans Pavilion and<br />
Pool Group for $1.<br />
The city council stated at the<br />
time it would not contribute<br />
to the project, but later said it<br />
would commit $1.<strong>25</strong> million if<br />
Sumner Lifeboat to save lives over<br />
the years and their help with this<br />
project will make a difference for<br />
several years to come,” Mr Quane<br />
said.<br />
“Our old jet ski named<br />
Southern Trust Rescue was<br />
funded by The Southern<br />
Trust 12 years ago.<br />
It has served us well,<br />
but reached its limits.<br />
Our first priority was<br />
to replace the old<br />
motorbike for towing<br />
the jet ski with a small<br />
but strong, more stable<br />
tractor that would<br />
enhance safety even with the old<br />
jet ski.”<br />
Operational crew member<br />
Bjorn Stankowitz has been<br />
testing the tractor and jet ski,<br />

the group could raise the rest of<br />

So far, more than $150,000<br />
has been raised for the project,<br />
which has been used to cover<br />
other costs including resource<br />
consent and developing design<br />

Other money, which has<br />
mainly gone towards the cost of<br />

“The jet ski a little beauty,” he<br />
said.<br />
“The Kubota has more power<br />
and the driver has better control.<br />
It is easier to turn so it is easier to<br />
get it out of the garage and<br />
that means we can get the<br />
jet ski onto the water more<br />
quickly.”<br />
The new jet ski is<br />
longer and stronger<br />
than the previous machine<br />
and Mr Stankowitz said it is<br />

more responsive and is also<br />
more stable in the water.<br />
“It’s also easier for the<br />

without the crew getting<br />
exhausted,” Mr Stankowitz said.<br />

Creativity using hands and loom<br />
HANDS-ON: Sarah Kerr is not letting cerebral palsy kerb her creativity.<br />
SARAH KERR is a creative at<br />
heart.<br />
The <strong>25</strong>-year-old has<br />
cerebral palsy, which affects<br />
body movement and coordination<br />
– but her condition<br />
doesn‘t hold her back at the<br />
Handmade Studio Charitable<br />
Trust.<br />
Handmade Studio is a craft<br />
co-operative shop where<br />
people with disabilities can<br />
weave, loom, stuff and sew to<br />
create a variety of items – and<br />
90 per cent of the money from<br />
each sale goes back to the<br />
person who made it.<br />
Sarah has been working at<br />
Handmade Studio since 2015,<br />
and says she loves it because it<br />
doesn’t matter that she has a<br />
disability.<br />
“It doesn’t matter that my<br />
legs don’t work, because it’s all<br />
hand stuff,” she said.<br />
“It’s varied and interesting,<br />
and you look at something and<br />
go: ‘Wow, I made that’.”<br />
Sarah works four-and-a-half<br />
days a week and spends a lot<br />
of her time turning wool into<br />
fabric using a loom.<br />
“It’s mostly hand stuff,<br />
and any leg movements are<br />
big movements, so I can do<br />
that. I can’t do sewing on the<br />
machines, and if I do handsew<br />
it has to be rough stuff.<br />
But I can tack – you can be the<br />
worst sewer in the world and<br />
still make it work.”<br />
And Sarah says it’s more<br />
than just work – she met her<br />
best friend at Handmade<br />
Studio.<br />
Supervisor Toni Parker-<br />
Adams said there is often up to<br />
12 people working in the<br />
studio each day, and the<br />
friendships that have formed<br />
are just as important as the<br />
work itself.<br />
“They feel safe here, and they<br />
have a good group of friends.<br />
Some of them have been<br />
coming for 20-odd years. It’s<br />
sort of like a coffee group on a<br />
bigger scale,” she said.<br />
Handmade Studio<br />
Charitable Trust is supported<br />
by the Rata Foundation, which<br />
recently approved a grant of<br />
$10,000 towards operating<br />
costs.<br />

Neck assessment vital after<br />
concussion injury<br />
What role does the neck play in<br />
concussion injury?<br />
Research shows that the average<br />
concussion injury involves 95g of force to<br />
the head. It can take as little as 4g of force<br />
to cause an injury to the upper cervical<br />
spine.<br />
This means it is virtually impossible<br />
to have a concussion injury without<br />
also injuring the structures at the top<br />
of the neck. The latest medical research<br />
acknowledges that the neck plays a<br />
significant role in post-concussion<br />
symptoms.<br />
The symptoms of an<br />
uncomplicated mild concussion<br />
will usually resolve within the first<br />
two weeks post-injury. However,<br />
some people will experience<br />
symptoms for a lot longer. It is<br />
vital to get the neck assessed as<br />
it can be the cause of lingering<br />
symptoms.<br />
The neck can be mistakenly<br />
thought of as one structure;<br />
however, the upper cervical spine<br />
is completely different from the rest of<br />
the spine, both in structure and function.<br />
This area is particularly vulnerable<br />
during a concussion injury and has a<br />
major influence on brain function, as the<br />
brainstem lies within the upper cervical<br />
spine.<br />
Children, teenagers and females are<br />
more susceptible to concussion injuries<br />
due to the muscles of the neck being<br />
smaller and weaker in these groups. This<br />
means that the acceleration of the head is<br />
greater during impact, increasing the risk<br />
of damage to the brain and structures in<br />
the neck.<br />
If you have sustained a concussion<br />
injury and have ongoing symptoms,<br />
you need to get your neck checked by a<br />
practitioner with specialised knowledge<br />
and post-graduate training in the upper<br />
cervical spine. This is a delicate area and<br />
needs to be carefully examined to ensure<br />
that injury and dysfunction are diagnosed<br />
correctly.<br />
The team at The Headache Clinic have<br />
undergone extensive training in the<br />
upper cervical spine and work exclusively<br />
in this area. Their practitioners have<br />
extensive knowledge and experience in<br />
treating post-concussion syndrome. The<br />
Headache Clinic use a targeted approach<br />
to assess and treat the upper cervical and<br />
ensure strength and stability in the neck is<br />
restored to decrease the risk of re-injury.<br />
Concussion is a complicated injury that<br />
needs to be taken seriously. The effects<br />
can be lifelong if they are not managed<br />
correctly by professionals experienced in<br />
treating concussion injuries.<br />
The Christchurch clinic is located<br />
on the corner of Papanui and Blighs<br />
Roads. For more information visit<br />

Rangi Ruru journo gets big break<br />
MEG ROBERTS says she “would<br />
travel anywhere” to follow her<br />
dream of becoming a reporter.<br />
The 17-year-old year 13 Rangi<br />
Ruru student will head off to the<br />
United States next month. She is<br />
the only New Zealand student to<br />
be accepted into the prestigious<br />
Summer Journalism Institute<br />
programme at Boston University.<br />
“It still doesn’t feel real, I don’t<br />
think it’s sunk in yet,” she said.<br />
Foreign affairs and<br />
international relations are<br />
Meg’s passions and television<br />
journalism is the area in which<br />
she is keen to work, but she’s<br />
excited to learn about all media.<br />
She also plans to learn Arabic<br />
as the Middle East is a dynamic<br />
place for news reporting.<br />
“There are no limitations as<br />
far as where I would be prepared<br />
to go – North Korea, Yemen,<br />
anywhere. I’ve always been a<br />
person who loves to explore<br />
the world and the depth and<br />
meaning behind it. I think<br />
journalism is informative yet<br />
creative; a perfect combination<br />
of subjective or objective,” she<br />
said.<br />
“I love to see things as they<br />
happen. I really enjoy watching<br />
Al Jazeera and the BBC because<br />
of the international news they<br />
give us. There are lots of things<br />
we don’t hear about here and I<br />
would love to report on stories<br />
that are important and not<br />
always seen,” she said.<br />
Careers adviser Kristen Fox<br />
said the Summer Journalism<br />
Institute programme is run<br />
by the New England Centre<br />
for Investigative Reporting for<br />
students from around the world,<br />
aged 14-18, and this year is its<br />
10th anniversary.<br />
Students who get accepted<br />
work alongside an instructor<br />
who is a working journalist.<br />
BOSTON<br />
BOUND:<br />
Meg<br />
Roberts will<br />
attend the<br />
prestigious<br />
Summer<br />
Journalism<br />
Institute<br />
at Boston<br />
University in<br />
July for two<br />
weeks, then<br />
return home<br />
to New<br />
Zealand to<br />
complete<br />
her year 13<br />
at Rangi<br />
Ruru.<br />
Each lesson is tied to a<br />
practical journalism skill,<br />
with all students gaining<br />
real-life reporting experience<br />
on assignments, both at the<br />
university and across Boston.<br />
“Every day they have five<br />
sessions where they go over the<br />
fundamental skills needed in<br />
a university class format. They<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
write for broadcast and web, and<br />
it’s very heavy on ethics, which is<br />
pleasing,” Ms Fox said.<br />
After the classes, the students<br />
move into a new session, which<br />
is like a newsroom, where they<br />
are divided into news teams with<br />
each headed by a journalist who<br />
is their editor.<br />
The students cover city<br />
council meetings, sports<br />
events and police reporting.<br />
Then all their work goes into a<br />
portfolio.<br />
Ms Fox said having this<br />
real-life experience and the<br />
work they produce is a fantastic<br />
springboard for students.<br />
“For Meg or any student,<br />
having a professional portfolio<br />
is crucial for applications from<br />
high school. It’s great having<br />
a passion for journalism and<br />
when you combine that with<br />
experience, it can create a<br />
significant advantage for<br />
students.<br />
“Universities are going to<br />
look favourably at students<br />
who do this additional work<br />
– having practical, tangible<br />
examples of work is invaluable,”<br />
she said.<br />
Meg will attend Boston<br />
University in July for two<br />
weeks, then return home to<br />
Christchurch to complete her<br />
year 13 studies.<br />
Cotswold pupil<br />
to see how tech<br />

A FUTURE in the tech industry<br />
may be on the cards for year<br />

The Tech Life Project - an<br />
initiative from Christchurch<br />

Juno, who joined Code Club<br />
Aotearoa in year 4, is keen to<br />
explore her options when she<br />
tours the offices next month.<br />
“I love coding and programming<br />
and am excited to learn<br />
about new things on the trip,”<br />
she said.<br />
Juno’s father Scott Rainey said<br />
he hopes Juno will learn that<br />
there is a “world of opportunities<br />
out there.”<br />
“Women add significant value<br />
to the tech industry,” he said.<br />
Global Office director Chris<br />
Tacon said he wants to see more<br />
diversity in the industry, noting<br />
that women are currently<br />
greatly underrepresented.<br />

ST BEDES<br />
Boarding<br />
at St Bedes College<br />
St Bede’s is a Catholic College for boys<br />
founded by the Society of Mary in 1911 and<br />
it is also the only Catholic boarding school<br />
for boys in the South Island.<br />
Catholic, Marist and Bedean principles<br />
and values form the basis of a holistic<br />
education at the College. We aim not to<br />
make the College great but to ensure every<br />
boy has the opportunity to be great, and<br />
we endeavour to develop young men of<br />
Catholic hearts and minds through the<br />
experiences the boys have in their time here<br />
at the College.<br />
St Bede’s is a College for all…a place where<br />
gospel values are practised to help form<br />
principled men; a learning environment<br />
where everyone achieves; a place that<br />
teachers want to come to because of the<br />
strength of the community; a place also,<br />
where boys can embrace spiritual, sporting,<br />
cultural and community activities, which all<br />
combined shape boys into men. That’s the<br />
priority and that is in our DNA.<br />
Boarding at St Bede’s College is a tradition<br />
that goes back to the 1920s. Our rich<br />
history and tradition provides an excellent<br />
foundation to embrace the challenges of<br />
the modern era and prepare our boys to be<br />
Catholic leaders wherever life takes them.<br />
Today’s boarders enjoy life away from<br />
home at the only single-sex Catholic<br />
boarding school in the South Island.<br />
Like many other organisations in<br />
Christchurch, our campus has been broken<br />
and tested. The demolition of the Chapel<br />
seriously challenged us. It was the single<br />
most important building at St Bede’s<br />
College, and had symbolised the heart and<br />
soul of the College ever since the third<br />
Rector, Father Gilbert, converted it from the<br />
gymnasium in 1929.<br />
Makeshift holy places in the last eight<br />
years, including the present facility, are a<br />
poor imitation and far from ideal. But we<br />
knew it was important to have this sacred<br />
space – a place where we gather in good<br />
times and in bad.<br />
The time has now come to build a new<br />
Chapel, which will be opened in September<br />
this year.<br />
After the hard years, there is real excitement<br />
and anticipation about the prospect of the<br />
rebuild which will significantly transform<br />
the campus. As well as the Chapel, we<br />
recently opened a new Food Technology<br />
and Visual Art block and have extended the<br />
Gymnasium. The Performing Arts Centre<br />
will also be opened later this year.<br />
Top young runners take<br />

was Sophie Lampe (Hinds<br />
School) with a time of<br />
8min 10sec. Miriam<br />
Lemon (Sumner School)<br />
finished third in 8min<br />
17sec.<br />
Amelia Henstock<br />
(Waimairi School) won<br />
the year 6 girls race in<br />
7min 32sec. Second<br />
belonged to Francheska<br />
•From page 1<br />
They will be joined on<br />
the trip by their former<br />
Burnside High School<br />
coach Sam Ryburn – who<br />
is also the under-23 coach.<br />
All four were part of at<br />
least one of the Burnside<br />
High senior girls teams<br />
which won back-to-back<br />
national secondary school<br />
titles in 2015 and 2016.<br />
Pio and Mikaera have<br />
been playing for the Shirley<br />
club in recent times, while<br />
Manderson and Fahey are<br />
currently on volleyball<br />
scholarships at division<br />
one colleges in the United<br />
States.<br />
“Going to division<br />
one is a major step up<br />
– everyone’s bigger and<br />
everyone’s faster. I was<br />
lucky enough to get to<br />
play all of last year and it’s<br />
tough, but very cool,” said<br />
Manderson.<br />
The New Zealand team<br />
SPORT<br />
Sims (Marshland School)<br />
in 7min 39sec. Sasha<br />
McIntyre (St Andrew’s<br />
College Preparatory<br />
School) finished third in<br />
7min 42sec.<br />
In the year 6 boys<br />
race, Harrison Staunton<br />
(Somerfield School) was<br />
first to cross the line<br />
in 7min 10sec. Behind<br />
him was Otto Church<br />
(St Albans School) in<br />
7min 17sec and Silas<br />
Jones (Hillview Christian<br />
School) in 7min 27sec.<br />
Fenella Chittock (Opawa<br />
School) won the year 7<br />
girls race in 11min 40sec.<br />
Second was Ava Rattray<br />
(Casebrook Intermediate)<br />
in 11min 50sec. She<br />
narrowly pipped Charlotte<br />
Chiles (Selwyn House<br />
School) on the line, who<br />
also finished in 11min<br />
50sec.<br />
In the year 7 boys<br />
race, Edward Connolly<br />
(St Andrew’s College<br />
will be hoping to secure<br />
a top three finish at the<br />
Asian championship,<br />
which would book them a<br />
spot in the under-23 world<br />
championships. For Fahey,<br />
who has just transferred to<br />
North Carolina A&T State<br />
University, the decision to<br />
come home in preparation<br />
for the tournament was<br />
easy.<br />
“I kind of came back<br />
to play for him [Ryburn].<br />
I was in the States, but I<br />
knew he was coaching so I<br />
wanted to try and make his<br />
team,” said Fahey.<br />
They will face No 3 seed<br />
Vietnam in their group, as<br />
well as Turkmenistan.<br />
“Their ball control of<br />
some of the teams in Asia<br />
is insane. They get so many,<br />
many more reps than we<br />
do, it’s really hard to kill<br />
a ball against them, their<br />
defence is insane,” said<br />
Manderson.<br />

Reunion for volleyballers and coach<br />
None of the girls<br />
played volleyball before<br />
attending Burnside High<br />
School.<br />
The school has developed<br />
a successful programme<br />
in recent years, turning<br />
out a number of players<br />
who have gone on to play<br />
for New Zealand and<br />
been offered US college<br />
scholarships.<br />
When asked what the key<br />
to the school’s success has<br />
been Manderson, Fahey,<br />
Pio and Mikaera all gave<br />
the same answer – coach<br />
Ryburn.<br />
“He chased me around<br />
trying to get me to join the<br />
team for years . . . I was<br />
playing rugby, but he was<br />
persistent with convincing<br />
me to play volleyball,”<br />
Fahey said.<br />
The team will start<br />
their Asian championship<br />
campaign against hosts<br />
Vietnam on July 13.

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

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

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

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes to own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he will focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />

In the past year, the district<br />

members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />
board on Thursday it had the okay<br />
from the city council to make a<br />
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />
for a resource consen to create a<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
told Western <strong>News</strong> the submi sion<br />
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />
plan.<br />
“You can just about guarant e<br />
it . because we [the community<br />
board] don’t believe qua ries<br />
should be so close to residential<br />
areas,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />
board’ submi sion.<br />
“I’d like to think so because the<br />
city council has had their eyes<br />
open as we l ove recent years over<br />
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board wi l be “representing and<br />

EDITOR<br />
Gaynor stanley<br />
There are few thing sadder than drab white walls, I reckon, and<br />
yet New Zealanders have long surrounded ourselves with them. So<br />
when a painter started splashing some plucky pigment around Star<br />
Media’s open plan office, I paid close attention to reactions. As a<br />
cosy mustard yellow spread over the entire far wall, the brightening<br />
of mood was palpable. People commented on how happy the colour<br />
made them feel, how much warmer the atmosphere was, how the<br />
sunny tone somehow lightened the load of constant deadlines.<br />
It was grea to see more confidence using colour, pattern and<br />
texture in the newly completed private homes we feature in this<br />
magazine too. Where not so long ago we might have felt neutral<br />
shades of brown or grey were somewhat audacious, today’s newly<br />
built homes pop with vibrant blues ( Jay and Rebekah’s place, page<br />
6) and copper hues (Ryan and Jen’s, page 30). Matt and Celia (page<br />
18) champion a monochromati colour scheme inside and out,<br />
while Sridhar and Susanna (page 63) chose dramatic black iron<br />
contrasting with smooth golden cedar to colour their new world.<br />
It was also eviden that more homeowners and building industry<br />
professionals are getting behind the movement to build better<br />
homes for the Christchurch climate. Warmer, healthier and cheaper<br />
to run is the brie from owner seeking builders with the know-how<br />
to construct their home from smarter building materials and designs<br />
that keep the cold out and the dust and electricity bi ls down.<br />
I really hope this magazine, and its associated Home & Living<br />
Show ( <strong>June</strong> 28-30), leave you brimming with the knowledge and<br />
inspiration to smarten up your home too.<br />
