Funding 

boost for 

Edgeware 

pool 

project 

• By Jess Gibson 

THE EDGEWARE pool project 

is set to take a major step forward 

after a $20,000 grant to undertake 

a feasibility study. 

The grant came from then New 

Zealand Lotteries Commission. 

St Albans Pavilion and Pool 

Group chairman 

Paul Somerville 

said the group 

is “thrilled” to 

have received the 

grant. 

The study will 

assess the practicality 

of the new 

Edgeware Pool 

Paul 

Somerville 

designs and whether it will be 

an asset to the community. After 

the study, the group can apply 

for money from major charitable 

funding groups to build the pool. 

The group has been trying 

to fundraise the money since 

January while covering rates and 

administration costs. 

“When you go to the major 

funders you have to prepare a 

case. They really want to know all 

about the project and whether it’s 

feasible,” Mr Somerville said.

THE REMARKABLE Jake Bailey is 

about to embark on another challenge – 

competing as an individual in the Coast to 

Coast (see page 3). 

Bailey of course is the well-publicised 

former Christchurch Boys’ High School head boy who fought off 

Burkitt’s non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, only to struggle to walk unassisted 

after the chemotherapy damaged the nerves in his legs. 

But just three years after the diagnosis, Bailey was part of 

a team which competed in this year’s event. That in itself was 

amazing. 

Now the 21-year-old will compete in the time-honoured event 

as an individual – which means running, kayaking and cycling 

the 243km course in the two-day individual event. 

Inspiring stuff. We could all learn a lot from Bailey.

JAKE BAILEY has been bitten 

by the Kathmandu Coast to 

Coast bug and will line up in the 

race for a second time next year. 

He will compete as an 

individual in 2020 after being 

part of a three-person relay this 

year. 

It’s a remarkable turnaround 

for the former Christchurch 

Boys’ High School head boy, 

who fought off Burkitt’s non- 

Hodgkin’s lymphoma, only to 

struggle to walk unassisted after 

chemotherapy damaged the 

nerves in his legs. 

But true to form, and his 

incredible resilience, in February 

– three years after his initial 

diagnosis – the 21-year-old took 

on the three-part 140km bike 

ride to cross the finish line in 

New Brighton alongside two 

of his ex-school mates, James 

Dunbar and Dalton Ewing. 

“The feeling of 

accomplishment was incredible. 

I was so humbled to have been 

able to be a part of an event with 

so much history and meaning 

to the Canterbury community 

– and also fairly grateful that I 

made it,” Bailey said. 

Almost as quickly as he 

crossed the finish line, like many 

who start their Coast to Coast 

journey as part of a team, Bailey 

has already set his sights on the 

challenge of completing the 

243km course in the two-day 

individual event. 

“Even the day before at the 

registration you start to feel 

how special the event is and 

how much it will mean to you to 

achieve the Kathmandu Coast 

to Coast, and then when you do 

cross that finish line, you just 

want to do it again,” he said. 

“It’s a tough race, there’s no 

doubt about it, but having grown 

up in Christchurch and seen 

family members and friends do 

it for years, I just want to be able 

to say I did that too, the whole 

thing on my own. I went from 

one side of the South Island to 

the other and it was all me.” 

Having recently completed the 

Tour de Cure, a 1400km bike 

race in Australia, Bailey says 

he is comfortable with the bike 

and run legs of the event, but 

mastering the kayak, including 

earning his grade two certificate, 

will be a challenge. 

“It’s probably my biggest 

challenge to learn the kayak, 

but I’ve got more than 200 days 

to get myself sorted, so I’m 

confident I’ve got enough time 

to get myself organised. And 

there are some fantastic people 

around that I’m sure will help 

me out along the way.” 

Now in remission for the 

third year, Bailey is also looking 

forward to continuing to 

demonstrate there is life after an 

illness like cancer. 

“I’d like to show survivors that 

they can go on to better things. 

That cancer doesn’t define them. 

I often meet parents whose 

kids are going through cancer 

and they’re incredibly worried 

about how their kids might 

come out the other side from a 

physical standpoint, and I guess 

I’m walking proof that life can 

be good, it can be great, and it 

shouldn’t hold you back.”

Papanui writer turns mother’s war 

Lynette Hedrick grew 

up hearing stories of her 

mother’s World War 2 

romance. She said the 

30 letters between the 

doomed pair were crying 

out to be written into a 

novel. Julia Evans reports 

MATTIE EDGAR and Charlie 

Kincaid’s love story began with a 

chance meeting on a tram while 

World War 2 was raging in 1942. 

Two years later, it ended on pen 

and paper. 

Papanui writer Lynette Hedrick 

grew up listening to her mother 

Mattie’s stories about her long 

lost fiance, Charlie. 

“It’s my mother’s long-told true 

story. She would tell me about 

her missing fiance she met by 

chance.” 

Charlie was a United States 

Navy diver in WW2. He was 

stationed on repair ship, the 

USS Rigel, while her mother was 

training to be a hairdresser. 

They met in May, 1942, on a 

tram in Auckland. 

Mattie was in her late 20s 

and had a day off her study. She 

decided to spend it going to the 

cinema. 

When 23-year-old Charlie 

stepped on the tram, he sat next 

to her. 

“He politely introduced himself 

and asked if he could join her at 

the movies,” Hedrick said. 

“She just felt so drawn to him.” 

She said her mother and 

Charlie spent a lot of time 

together for the next six months 

– they went dancing, to the 

movies and spent time walking 

in the park. 

“What I can remember is that 

she had many happy outings with 

him.” 

But the romance was short 

lived and his ship was sent back 

to the Pacific, bound for New 

Caledonia, when Charlie had to 

say goodbye to Mattie. 

The USS Rigel was in Auckland 

from May, with officers working 

on Hobson Wharf until 

November. 

“He had his instructions and he 

had to say goodbye in November 

1942. Then he began writing to 

her.” 

After he left, for the next two 

years they wrote letters back and 

LOVE STORY: 

Lynette 

Hedrick wrote 

a book called 

The Rigel 

Affair, based 

on letters 

between her 

mother and a 

US Navy diver 

during WW2. 

forth. That chance meeting and 

the subsequent 30 letters are the 

basis of Hedrick’s new novel, The 

Rigel Affair. 

Hedrick and her husband 

Bud have researched Charlie’s 

history with help from the US 

Navy archives and his shipmates 

Leonard Anderson and Dave 

Jessup. 

“Both my husband and I 

contacted the navy headquarters 

in Washington DC and they gave 

us a lot of information about the 

USS Rigel,” she said. 

But Charlie’s navy days began 

with a bang. 

His first mission before he 

came to New Zealand on the ship 

was particularly notable. The USS 

Rigel sailed to Honolulu, Hawaii, 

in July 1941. She was still there 

on December 7, 1941, when the 

Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. 

“It was his first encounter, they 

couldn’t believe it,” Hedrick said. 

“It was parked at the back 

of the battleships so it wasn’t 

bombed by the Japanese.” 

Sustaining minor damage in 

the strike – which killed more 

than 2400 Americans and led 

to the US formally entering the 

war – the USS Rigel then sailed 

around the Pacific, repairing 

other battle ships. 

Mr Hedrick said it was a 

vital error on the part of the 

Japanese. 

“The Rigel was a huge ship, like 

a factory and it had the highest 

trained specialists and all the 

critical support functions. The 

fact that the Rigel came out with 

minor damage was a god send for 

the Americans,” he said. 

After leaving Auckland and 

New Caledonia, the USS Rigel 

went on to take part in one of 

the most savage battles of the 

Pacific war – the Guadalcanal 

campaign.

Now 


In August 1942, the Allied 

forces, largely US marines, 

landed in the Solomon Islands. 

The USS Rigel didn’t reach the 

islands until November. 

It was the first major offensive 

by the Allies against the 

Japanese. 

The Japanese, who had 

occupied those islands, were 

eventually outnumbered and 

overwhelmed by the Allies. 

“Where the boys were in the 

Guadalcanal, it was the most 

horrific, nasty island,” Hedrick 

said. 

Mr Hedrick said Charlie would 

have been “hugely” involved in 

the fighting. 

“These guys were trained in 

explosives, they had significant 

training . . . he went on one 

mission where they were put 

behind enemy lines to blow up a 

submarine and get out.” 

After Guadalcanal in 1943, the 

USS Rigel travelled to Vanuatu, 

Australia and New Guinea. 

But while he was in the Pacific, 

he kept in constant contact with 

Mattie back in New Zealand. 

His letters were sporadic, 

commenting on what was going 

on during the war, as well as 

pining for Mattie. 

A lot of them were censored 

due to the nature of the missions. 

The USS Rigel earned four 

battle stars by the end of WW2. 

She was decommissioned in 

1946. 

However, Charlie left the USS 

Rigel and ended up back in 

Rhode Island, New York, at the 

end of 1943. 

“He sent her an engagement 

ring and money for her to join 

him,” Hedrick said. 

“But there were too many 

concerns about her trying to 

cross the Pacific when there was 

a war going on.” 

She said she wrote the story 

to give her mother and Charlie’s 

tale an ending, which never came 

for the pair. Although the book 

may differ from what happened 

in real life, being fiction based on 

reality. 

“In real life, my mother 

believed he was lost at sea,” she 

said. “She waited and waited, but 

never heard from him.” 

Mattie kept the letters in 

a chocolate box, where they 

remained until she was killed in 

a car accident in the 1980s. 

The Rigel Affair is Hedrick’s 

second published work, she 

is also an artist.“When I read 

WAR LETTERS: 

Mattie Edgar and 

Charlie Kincaid’s 

love story began 

with a chance 

meeting in 1942 

and led to a series 

of love letters. 

those 30 letters, they cried out 

for somebody to do something,” 

she said. “When I listened to 

my mother, it all seemed so 

powerful.” 

Hedrick is working on a sequel 

– so Charlie and Mattie’s story 

isn’t quite finished.

Love letter from Charlie on 

June 29, 1943 

Darling, 

Another letter to let you 

know that I’m still alright. I’ve 

learned to relax quite a bit even 

though things are rather trying 

at times. Falling bombs and shell 

fire doesn’t bother me near as 

much as it used to. I guess I’ve 

become sort of used to it and 

now about the only thing I worry 

about is when you and I’ll be 

able to see each other. Somebody 

sure talked out of turn when we 

were down south because the 

Japs know where we are at and 

what we are up to. About the only 

good station we can pick up is 

Radio Tokyo, and the other night 

Tojo made a speech beamed at 

us. Here’s what he said, “Welcome 

USS Rigel to CENSORED 

Bay. We hope you enjoy stay 

while there. Anyhow it will be 

a short one for we are coming 

in and taking over July 1.” 

Personally I’m not worrying a hell 

of a lot about anything he says, 

and I still think we can shoot 

the pants off of the Japs anytime 

they feel like mustering around. 

If you can go over there go to 

Brisbane and I’m sure you’ll find 

everything the same as the time 

before you and I said goodbye. 

Love always, Kinky.

is getting a $130,000 revamp. 

It is expected to receive a new modular 

play item, mega-swing set, see-saw, 

carousel and a wobbly frog rocker by the 

end of the year. 

The Papanui-Innes Community Board 

approved the renewal. A detailed design 

of the project will start soon before 

construction in spring. 

The city council received mostly 

positive feedback for the proposed 

renewal during consultation from March 

5 to April 7. Out of 24 submissions, 21 

supported the plan, two did not support 

the plan and one did not indicate a 

preference. 

City council staff also attended the 

‘breakfast club’ at Northcote School on 

March 20 to present the playground 

renewal to about 50 children. The pupils 

were asked to place a sticker on their 

favourite piece of equipment, which was 

the carousel. 

The playground was nearing the end 

of its life span and funding has been 

allocated for its renewal in the city 

council’s Long Term Plan.

RESIDENTS OF an upmarket 

street in Burnside near the 

Russley Golf Club have won the 

bid to have its on-street car parks 

removed. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board has approved 

the removal of car parks 

at the start of Stableford Green. 

Residents of 17 homes on the 

street expressed concerns over 

safety issues to the community 

board in April after vehicles began 

using the all-day parks on 

both sides of the street. The car 

parks were being used because of 

the street’s close proximity to the 

airport. 

Local 


Now 


GONE: On-street parking will be removed at the entrance of 

Stableford Green due to residents’ safety concerns. 

Battle won to get rid of car 

parks on Stableford Green 

Car parks will now be removed 

on Stableford Green for a distance 

of 87m on the side of the street 

closest to the airport and for 80m 

on the other side. 

On Memorial Ave, parking 

will be removed for 70m from 

the entrance of Stableford Green 

towards the airport. 

As the entrance to the golf 

club is on Stableford Green, 

the narrow street is used often 

by vehicles, including large 

trucks. 

When the parks were full, the 

8m wide street was almost as narrow 

as a single-lane. 

As Stableford Green is off 

Memorial Ave, some vehicles 

enter the street at 60km/h.

CHANGES: 

Karina Milnes, 

Natalie King, 

Brian Salisbury 

and Deb 

Bamber were 

part of the 

team who 

helped make 

the move 

from plastic to 

biodegradable 

medicine 

pottles. 

Nurse’s idea to use paper 

pottles picked up by CDHB 

HOON HAY nurse Brian 

Salisbury’s idea to move from 

plastic to paper medication 

pottles could see nearly 1.2 

million plastic pottles saved from 

landfill every year. 

Mr Salisbury took the idea to 

the Canterbury District Health 

Board’s professional studies 

course, Collabor8, where he 

undertook a project called 

Reducing Waste at Te Whare 

Manaaki. 

“I feel great that what I thought 

was a little project has turned 

out to be reducing the CDHB’s 

carbon footprint, with the added 

bonus of saving money,” he said. 

Biodegradable paper 

medication pottles are now 

replacing plastic ones at all 

CDHB hospitals. 

The move will not only reduce 

its carbon footprint, but they also 

cost 33 per cent less – a bonus 

saving of about $10,000. 

RESCUE: Operational crew member Bjorn Stankowitz tests out 

the new jet ski. 

The 30ml pottles are suitable 

for liquid or dry medicines, 

which are administered to 

patients. Prior to the paper pottle 

being introduced, there were 

three different types of plastic 

pottles being ordered. 

Said supplies clinical product 

co-ordinator Deb Bamber: 

“Reducing to just one item will 

lessen our carbon footprint, with 

fewer deliveries, packaging, and 

storage.” 

THE SUMNER Lifeboat 

Institution has $35,000 in 

new equipment thanks to the 

generosity of two 

long-standing benefactors. 

The JI Urquhart Trust granted 

$20,000 for a jet ski and trailer 

and The Southern Trust has 

funded a $15,000 Kubota tractor. 

To pay homage to the JI 

Urquhart Trust, which has 

helped keep the institution afloat 

for eight years, it has called the jet 

ski Urquhart Trust 

Rescue. 

Said coxswain Blair Quane: 

“This year, when they heard we 

were looking for funding for a jet 

ski, they gave us extra to cover 

this purchase.” 

“We are very, very grateful to 

these trusts. Both have helped 

•From page 1 

“As a community group, we 

didn’t have that sort of money 

to spend on it so we thought 

we would go for a grant. We 

are very pleased the Lottery 

Commission saw the benefit 

of the project and helped us 

out.” 

Mr Somerville said there is 

no time line for the feasibility 

study yet as the group are 

deciding which company to 

conduct it. 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board chairwoman Ali Jones 

said hearing about the grant was 

“the best news she has received 

all month.” 

“To receive this money which 

will allow them to progress is 

just fantastic,” Ms Jones said, 

“These guys aren’t being 

handed the project on a 

plate. This is a communitydriven 

project and there’s a lot 

they have to do, so good on 

them.” 

In 2016, the city council sold 

the land for the Edgeware Pool 

to the St Albans Pavilion and 

Pool Group for $1. 

The city council stated at the 

time it would not contribute 

to the project, but later said it 

would commit $1.25 million if 

Sumner Lifeboat to save lives over 

the years and their help with this 

project will make a difference for 

several years to come,” Mr Quane 

said. 

“Our old jet ski named 

Southern Trust Rescue was 

funded by The Southern 

Trust 12 years ago. 

It has served us well, 

but reached its limits. 

Our first priority was 

to replace the old 

motorbike for towing 

the jet ski with a small 

but strong, more stable 

tractor that would 

enhance safety even with the old 

jet ski.” 

Operational crew member 

Bjorn Stankowitz has been 

testing the tractor and jet ski, 


Local 


Now 

the group could raise the rest of 

the $5 million costs. 

So far, more than $150,000 

has been raised for the project, 

which has been used to cover 

other costs including resource 

consent and developing design 

plans. 

Other money, which has 

mainly gone towards the cost of 

rates for the empty site, has been 

fundraised through a givealittle 

page as well as monthly pub 

quizzes at Bailies Bar and 

Restaurant.

Trusts help lifeboat institute get $35k in new equipment 


Funding boost for pool study 

GOAL: The designs for 

Edgeware pool will be 

assessed in a feasibility 

study. 

and helping train other crew 

members. 

“The jet ski a little beauty,” he 

said. 

“The Kubota has more power 

and the driver has better control. 

It is easier to turn so it is easier to 

get it out of the garage and 

that means we can get the 

jet ski onto the water more 

quickly.” 

The new jet ski is 

longer and stronger 

than the previous machine 

and Mr Stankowitz said it is 

Blair Quane 

more responsive and is also 

more stable in the water. 

“It’s also easier for the 

second person to hold on so 

the helmsperson can go faster 

without the crew getting 

exhausted,” Mr Stankowitz said.

Creativity using hands and loom 

HANDS-ON: Sarah Kerr is not letting cerebral palsy kerb her creativity. 

SARAH KERR is a creative at 

heart. 

The 25-year-old has 

cerebral palsy, which affects 

body movement and coordination 

– but her condition 

doesn‘t hold her back at the 

Handmade Studio Charitable 

Trust. 

Handmade Studio is a craft 

co-operative shop where 

people with disabilities can 

weave, loom, stuff and sew to 

create a variety of items – and 

90 per cent of the money from 

each sale goes back to the 

person who made it. 

Sarah has been working at 

Handmade Studio since 2015, 

and says she loves it because it 

doesn’t matter that she has a 

disability. 

“It doesn’t matter that my 

legs don’t work, because it’s all 

hand stuff,” she said. 

“It’s varied and interesting, 

and you look at something and 

go: ‘Wow, I made that’.” 

Sarah works four-and-a-half 

days a week and spends a lot 

of her time turning wool into 

fabric using a loom. 

“It’s mostly hand stuff, 

and any leg movements are 

big movements, so I can do 

that. I can’t do sewing on the 

machines, and if I do handsew 

it has to be rough stuff. 

But I can tack – you can be the 

worst sewer in the world and 

still make it work.” 

And Sarah says it’s more 

than just work – she met her 

best friend at Handmade 

Studio. 

Supervisor Toni Parker- 

Adams said there is often up to 

12 people working in the 

studio each day, and the 

friendships that have formed 

are just as important as the 

work itself. 

“They feel safe here, and they 

have a good group of friends. 

Some of them have been 

coming for 20-odd years. It’s 

sort of like a coffee group on a 

bigger scale,” she said. 

Handmade Studio 

Charitable Trust is supported 

by the Rata Foundation, which 

recently approved a grant of 

$10,000 towards operating 

costs.

to cause an injury to the upper cervical 

spine. 

This means it is virtually impossible 

to have a concussion injury without 

also injuring the structures at the top 

of the neck. The latest medical research 

acknowledges that the neck plays a 

significant role in post-concussion 

symptoms. 

The symptoms of an 

uncomplicated mild concussion 

will usually resolve within the first 

two weeks post-injury. However, 

some people will experience 

symptoms for a lot longer. It is 

vital to get the neck assessed as 

it can be the cause of lingering 

symptoms. 

The neck can be mistakenly 

thought of as one structure; 

however, the upper cervical spine 

is completely different from the rest of 

the spine, both in structure and function. 

This area is particularly vulnerable 

during a concussion injury and has a 

major influence on brain function, as the 

brainstem lies within the upper cervical 

spine. 

Children, teenagers and females are 

more susceptible to concussion injuries 

due to the muscles of the neck being 

smaller and weaker in these groups. This 

means that the acceleration of the head is 

greater during impact, increasing the risk 

of damage to the brain and structures in 

the neck. 

If you have sustained a concussion 

injury and have ongoing symptoms, 

you need to get your neck checked by a 

practitioner with specialised knowledge 

and post-graduate training in the upper 

cervical spine. This is a delicate area and 

needs to be carefully examined to ensure 

that injury and dysfunction are diagnosed 

correctly. 

The team at The Headache Clinic have 

undergone extensive training in the 

upper cervical spine and work exclusively 

in this area. Their practitioners have 

extensive knowledge and experience in 

treating post-concussion syndrome. The 

Headache Clinic use a targeted approach 

to assess and treat the upper cervical and 

ensure strength and stability in the neck is 

restored to decrease the risk of re-injury. 

Concussion is a complicated injury that 

needs to be taken seriously. The effects 

can be lifelong if they are not managed 

correctly by professionals experienced in 

treating concussion injuries. 

The Christchurch clinic is located 

on the corner of Papanui and Blighs 

Roads. For more information visit

Rangi Ruru journo gets big break 

MEG ROBERTS says she “would 

travel anywhere” to follow her 

dream of becoming a reporter. 

The 17-year-old year 13 Rangi 

Ruru student will head off to the 

United States next month. She is 

the only New Zealand student to 

be accepted into the prestigious 

Summer Journalism Institute 

programme at Boston University. 

“It still doesn’t feel real, I don’t 

think it’s sunk in yet,” she said. 

Foreign affairs and 

international relations are 

Meg’s passions and television 

journalism is the area in which 

she is keen to work, but she’s 

excited to learn about all media. 

She also plans to learn Arabic 

as the Middle East is a dynamic 

place for news reporting. 

“There are no limitations as 

far as where I would be prepared 

to go – North Korea, Yemen, 

anywhere. I’ve always been a 

person who loves to explore 

the world and the depth and 

meaning behind it. I think 

journalism is informative yet 

creative; a perfect combination 

of subjective or objective,” she 

said. 

“I love to see things as they 

happen. I really enjoy watching 

Al Jazeera and the BBC because 

of the international news they 

give us. There are lots of things 

we don’t hear about here and I 

would love to report on stories 

that are important and not 

always seen,” she said. 

Careers adviser Kristen Fox 

said the Summer Journalism 

Institute programme is run 

by the New England Centre 

for Investigative Reporting for 

students from around the world, 

aged 14-18, and this year is its 

10th anniversary. 

Students who get accepted 

work alongside an instructor 

who is a working journalist. 

BOSTON 

BOUND: 

Meg 

Roberts will 

attend the 

prestigious 

Summer 

Journalism 

Institute 

at Boston 

University in 

July for two 

weeks, then 

return home 

to New 

Zealand to 

complete 

her year 13 

at Rangi 

Ruru. 

Each lesson is tied to a 

practical journalism skill, 

with all students gaining 

real-life reporting experience 

on assignments, both at the 

university and across Boston. 

“Every day they have five 

sessions where they go over the 

fundamental skills needed in 

a university class format. They 

SCHOOLS 

write for broadcast and web, and 

it’s very heavy on ethics, which is 

pleasing,” Ms Fox said. 

After the classes, the students 

move into a new session, which 

is like a newsroom, where they 

are divided into news teams with 

each headed by a journalist who 

is their editor. 

The students cover city 

council meetings, sports 

events and police reporting. 

Then all their work goes into a 

portfolio. 

Ms Fox said having this 

real-life experience and the 

work they produce is a fantastic 

springboard for students. 

“For Meg or any student, 

having a professional portfolio 

is crucial for applications from 

high school. It’s great having 

a passion for journalism and 

when you combine that with 

experience, it can create a 

significant advantage for 

students. 

“Universities are going to 

look favourably at students 

who do this additional work 

– having practical, tangible 

examples of work is invaluable,” 

she said. 

Meg will attend Boston 

University in July for two 

weeks, then return home to 

Christchurch to complete her 

year 13 studies. 

Cotswold pupil 

to see how tech 

companies work 

A FUTURE in the tech industry 

may be on the cards for year 

6 Cotswold School pupil Juno 

Rainey. 

The Tech Life Project - an 

initiative from Christchurch 

company Global 

Office – is sponsoring 

five year 

6 girls to travel 

to Wellington to 

learn more about 

a career in technology 

at Trade 

Me and Xero’s 

Juno Rainey 

head offices. 

Juno, who joined Code Club 

Aotearoa in year 4, is keen to 

explore her options when she 

tours the offices next month. 

“I love coding and programming 

and am excited to learn 

about new things on the trip,” 

she said. 

Juno’s father Scott Rainey said 

he hopes Juno will learn that 

there is a “world of opportunities 

out there.” 

“Women add significant value 

to the tech industry,” he said. 

Global Office director Chris 

Tacon said he wants to see more 

diversity in the industry, noting 

that women are currently 

greatly underrepresented. 

A 2018 report from the 

Ministry of Women found 

only 23 per cent of Kiwis 

employed in digital technology 

were women.

ST BEDES 

Boarding 

at St Bedes College 

St Bede’s is a Catholic College for boys 

founded by the Society of Mary in 1911 and 

it is also the only Catholic boarding school 

for boys in the South Island. 

Catholic, Marist and Bedean principles 

and values form the basis of a holistic 

education at the College. We aim not to 

make the College great but to ensure every 

boy has the opportunity to be great, and 

we endeavour to develop young men of 

Catholic hearts and minds through the 

experiences the boys have in their time here 

at the College. 

St Bede’s is a College for all…a place where 

gospel values are practised to help form 

principled men; a learning environment 

where everyone achieves; a place that 

teachers want to come to because of the 

strength of the community; a place also, 

where boys can embrace spiritual, sporting, 

cultural and community activities, which all 

combined shape boys into men. That’s the 

priority and that is in our DNA. 

Boarding at St Bede’s College is a tradition 

that goes back to the 1920s. Our rich 

history and tradition provides an excellent 

foundation to embrace the challenges of 

the modern era and prepare our boys to be 

Catholic leaders wherever life takes them. 

Today’s boarders enjoy life away from 

home at the only single-sex Catholic 

boarding school in the South Island. 

Like many other organisations in 

Christchurch, our campus has been broken 

and tested. The demolition of the Chapel 

seriously challenged us. It was the single 

most important building at St Bede’s 

College, and had symbolised the heart and 

soul of the College ever since the third 

Rector, Father Gilbert, converted it from the 

gymnasium in 1929. 

Makeshift holy places in the last eight 

years, including the present facility, are a 

poor imitation and far from ideal. But we 

knew it was important to have this sacred 

space – a place where we gather in good 

times and in bad. 

The time has now come to build a new 

Chapel, which will be opened in September 

this year. 

After the hard years, there is real excitement 

and anticipation about the prospect of the 

rebuild which will significantly transform 

the campus. As well as the Chapel, we 

recently opened a new Food Technology 

and Visual Art block and have extended the 

Gymnasium. The Performing Arts Centre 

will also be opened later this year. 

Top young runners take 

on primary cross-country 

HALSWELL Quarry 

hosted 1353 children 

from schools throughout 

Canterbury in the Primary 

Sports Canterbury crosscountry 

last week. 

All competitors qualified 

for the event through their 

school and then through 

their zone. 

The year 5 boys race was 

won by St Albans School 

pupil Harry Woodhouse in 

7min 41sec. In second was 

Ethan Cox (West Spreydon 

School) in 7min 46sec. 

Finn Bruwer (Tai Tapu 

School) rounded out the 

top three just 1sec behind 

Ethan. 

The year 5 girls race 

went to Fendalton Open 

Air School’s Tessa De Wit 

in 8min 4sec. In second 

was Sophie Lampe (Hinds 

School) with a time of 

8min 10sec. Miriam 

Lemon (Sumner School) 

finished third in 8min 

17sec. 

Amelia Henstock 

(Waimairi School) won 

the year 6 girls race in 

7min 32sec. Second 

belonged to Francheska 

•From page 1 

They will be joined on 

the trip by their former 

Burnside High School 

coach Sam Ryburn – who 

is also the under-23 coach. 

All four were part of at 

least one of the Burnside 

High senior girls teams 

which won back-to-back 

national secondary school 

titles in 2015 and 2016. 

Pio and Mikaera have 

been playing for the Shirley 

club in recent times, while 

Manderson and Fahey are 

currently on volleyball 

scholarships at division 

one colleges in the United 

States. 

“Going to division 

one is a major step up 

– everyone’s bigger and 

everyone’s faster. I was 

lucky enough to get to 

play all of last year and it’s 

tough, but very cool,” said 

Manderson. 

The New Zealand team 

SPORT 

Sims (Marshland School) 

in 7min 39sec. Sasha 

McIntyre (St Andrew’s 

College Preparatory 

School) finished third in 

7min 42sec. 

In the year 6 boys 

race, Harrison Staunton 

(Somerfield School) was 

first to cross the line 

in 7min 10sec. Behind 

him was Otto Church 

(St Albans School) in 

7min 17sec and Silas 

Jones (Hillview Christian 

School) in 7min 27sec. 

Fenella Chittock (Opawa 

School) won the year 7 

girls race in 11min 40sec. 

Second was Ava Rattray 

(Casebrook Intermediate) 

in 11min 50sec. She 

narrowly pipped Charlotte 

Chiles (Selwyn House 

School) on the line, who 

also finished in 11min 

50sec. 

In the year 7 boys 

race, Edward Connolly 

(St Andrew’s College 

will be hoping to secure 

a top three finish at the 

Asian championship, 

which would book them a 

spot in the under-23 world 

championships. For Fahey, 

who has just transferred to 

North Carolina A&T State 

University, the decision to 

come home in preparation 

for the tournament was 

easy. 

“I kind of came back 

to play for him [Ryburn]. 

I was in the States, but I 

knew he was coaching so I 

wanted to try and make his 

team,” said Fahey. 

They will face No 3 seed 

Vietnam in their group, as 

well as Turkmenistan. 

“Their ball control of 

some of the teams in Asia 

is insane. They get so many, 

many more reps than we 

do, it’s really hard to kill 

a ball against them, their 

defence is insane,” said 

Manderson.

Reunion for volleyballers and coach 

None of the girls 

played volleyball before 

attending Burnside High 

School. 

The school has developed 

a successful programme 

in recent years, turning 

out a number of players 

who have gone on to play 

for New Zealand and 

been offered US college 

scholarships. 

When asked what the key 

to the school’s success has 

been Manderson, Fahey, 

Pio and Mikaera all gave 

the same answer – coach 

Ryburn. 

“He chased me around 

trying to get me to join the 

team for years . . . I was 

playing rugby, but he was 

persistent with convincing 

me to play volleyball,” 

Fahey said. 

The team will start 

their Asian championship 

campaign against hosts 

Vietnam on July 13.

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 

a se 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 will 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.

Winder was part of the Pure

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

However, the public has li tle

Only eight submi sions were

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

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

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.

EDITOR 

Gaynor stanley 

There are few thing sadder than drab white walls, I reckon, and 

yet New Zealanders have long surrounded ourselves with them. So 

when a painter started splashing some plucky pigment around Star 

Media’s open plan office, I paid close attention to reactions. As a 

cosy mustard yellow spread over the entire far wall, the brightening 

of mood was palpable. People commented on how happy the colour 

made them feel, how much warmer the atmosphere was, how the 

sunny tone somehow lightened the load of constant deadlines. 

It was grea to see more confidence using colour, pattern and 

texture in the newly completed private homes we feature in this 

magazine too. Where not so long ago we might have felt neutral 

shades of brown or grey were somewhat audacious, today’s newly 

built homes pop with vibrant blues ( Jay and Rebekah’s place, page 

6) and copper hues (Ryan and Jen’s, page 30). Matt and Celia (page 

18) champion a monochromati colour scheme inside and out, 

while Sridhar and Susanna (page 63) chose dramatic black iron 

contrasting with smooth golden cedar to colour their new world. 

It was also eviden that more homeowners and building industry 

professionals are getting behind the movement to build better 

homes for the Christchurch climate. Warmer, healthier and cheaper 

to run is the brie from owner seeking builders with the know-how 

to construct their home from smarter building materials and designs 

that keep the cold out and the dust and electricity bi ls down. 

I really hope this magazine, and its associated Home & Living 

Show ( June 28-30), leave you brimming with the knowledge and 

inspiration to smarten up your home too.
