project
• By Jess Gibson
THE EDGEWARE pool project

after a $20,000 grant to undertake
a feasibility study.
The grant came from then New
Zealand Lotteries Commission.

said the group
is “thrilled” to
have received the

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:

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.

Fire rages, homes at risk
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

Charlie Kincaid’s

meeting in 1942
and led to a series

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.

PADDINGTON playground in Northcote
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.

Car parks will now be removed

of 87m on the side of the street

On Memorial Ave, parking

As the entrance to the golf

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,
NOR’WEST NEWS

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.

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

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.

Neck assessment vital after
concussion injury
What role does the neck play in
concussion injury?
Research shows that the average
concussion injury involves 95g of force to
the head. It can take as little as 4g of force
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

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.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
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
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

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.

Mr Winder and his team, the

He said the cha lenge started

The preparation for this

said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”

“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.

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.
