Redcliffs
liquor store
gets the
green light
• By Jess Gibson
A LIQUOR store planned for
Redcliffs Village has got the
go-ahead.
The district licensing
committee released its decision
on Monday, which gives Rizak
Enterprises Ltd the green light to
set up an off-licence at 1/87 Main
Rd.
The committee’s decision
includes changes to Rizak
Enterprises Ltd sole director
and shareholder Juraj Singh’s
application based on submissions
in opposition to the proposal.
The changes included labelling
the store Redcliffs Fine Wine and
Spirits instead of Thirsty Liquor,
CCTV security inside
and outside the store and no
alcohol advertising outside the
building.
Its opening hours will also be
reduced from 9am-10pm to 9am-
9pm, Monday to Sunday.
A hearing was held in May
after 46 written submissions
were made in opposition to the
off-licence, with nine people
making verbal submissions.
A petition containing the
names of 97 people opposing the
store was also presented at the
hearing.

from the editor’s desk
IT’S BEEN a long drawn-out saga but the
liquor store planned for Redcliffs will go
ahead (see page 1).
That’s pending any appeal those who were
against it might decide to lodge.
It’s not overly surprising the liquor store got the green light
from the district licensing committee.
There was vocal opposition to the liquor store and those people
carried that through to the hearing by making submissions.
The company behind the liquor store said it would not be your
normal suburban bottle shop.
So the licensing committee has held it to that pledge by
restricting signage. There won’t be flashy colourful signs
advertising all sorts of products, which should keep the look of
the store in line with the rest of the village.

Swastika joke turns sour
Comedian
pushed after
punchline
• By Louis Day
A COMEDIAN was grabbed
by the back of the head and
pushed after he made a joke
about white supremacists during
a show.
During Simon Kingsley-
Holmes’ set at the Madeira Hotel
in Akaroa he made a joke about
playing scrabble with a white
supremacist.
Kingsley-Holmes then pulled a
scrabble board from his bag with
the tiles arranged in the shape
of a swastika and delivered the
punchline: “What a prick, he
glued all the tiles to the board.”
He also made reference to
finding a swastika in a public
toilet in Timaru.
The comedian has steered clear
of swastika-related jokes since
the March 15 mosque shootings.
But when he did his set on June
15, he thought enough
time had passed to reintroduce
white supremacist-related
material into his act.

speed limit will be introduced
on Summit Rd and its side

The reductions were a result of
safety concerns and anti-social

Thank you for
helping your
Fall Zones
community
To all of you who have had your
trees trimmed before they became
a problem, thank you for keeping all
the families in your community warm,
happy, healthy and connected.
You can be proud of the fact that you have allowed your
neighbours to stay warm, cook dinner and even charge
their mobile phones. You may not have realised that what
you’ve done has had much impact, but from all of us here
at Orion, we just want to say thank you.
Notice and Growth limit zones

A
Power line voltage A. Growth limit zone B. Notice zone
66,000 volts 4.0m 5.0m
33,000 volts 2.5m 3.5m
11,000 volts 1.6m 2.6m
400/230 volts 0.5m 1.5m
We’re not exaggerating.
On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are
caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact
with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from
branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from
electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are
also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees.
How close is too close?
While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines,
significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk
increases the higher the voltage of the power line.
The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees
and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from
Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above.
All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and
preferably the notice zone.
Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the
rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need
to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed,
most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to
disease or adverse weather events.
Where do I start?
Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around
you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree
trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange
for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however
we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work.
If you or someone working for you intends to work within four
metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from
Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any
damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.
Will I be fined if I don’t comply?
If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree
trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim
without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you
liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues,
you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every
day or part day during which the offence continues.
More info can be found on our website and if
you have any questions or notice any trees
touching power lines in your area, please call
us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.

LAUGH
AT INTERNATIONAL
THE
COMEDY NIGHT
Boy racers cause carnage
across peninsula during tribute drive
• By Jess Gibson
A CONVOY of more than 200
boy racers caused damage across
Banks Peninsula in a drive
which paid tribute to a man who
recently died.
Vehicles
gathered in
the car park of
Mitre 10 MEGA
Ferrymead
and travelled
to Akaroa,
stopping at
Graham
Barrell
points along
the way to do
burnouts.
Police received about 20 reports
of the convoy.
A police spokesperson said the
first report was in Ferrymead
about 9.45pm, and the last was
in Teddington about 12.30am on
Saturday morning.
“Police attended and spoke
with some of those involved but
no arrests were made.”
Community parks manager Al
Hardy said the city council noticed
an increase in parks-related
damage over that weekend.
“Between Saturday, June 22,
and Tuesday, June 25,we received
three calls to notify us of damage
to Ferrymead and Barnett Parks,
as well as Allandale Reserve.
2019
CONVOY: A video posted on an event page showed a large
number of vehicles outside Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead ready
to convoy over to Akaroa.
Damage included tyre marks on
the field, and bollards and cables
pulled out of the ground,” Mr
Hardy said.
“Council will work to repair
the damage to the parks as soon
as possible.”
Residents took to Facebook to
share photos of the damage in
Governors Bay.
At Allandale Reserve the grass
had been ripped up by spinning
tyres, a drinking fountain was

Other damage across
Banks Peninsula included
litter, burnouts and road
signs knocked over outside
the Gebbies Garden Cafe on
Christchurch Akaroa Rd.
Allandale Reserve
Management Committee acting
chairman Graham Barrell
was “disappointed with the
vandalism.”
“I drove past and saw that
the post which held the chain
to keep vehicles out had been
smashed over and the ground
was covered in tyre tracks,” Mr
Barrell said.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board deputy chairman Tyrone
Fields was told about a “huge
amount of litter” at Teddington
the following morning.
Mr Fields said boy racing is
an “acknowledged problem”
across Banks Peninsula and
damage caused by vehicles,
such as burnouts, are “not
uncommon.”
On an event page for those
taking part in the convoy,
a comment about damaged
road signs called it “disgusting
behaviour” and said the night
was not meant to be about
acting stupidly.

Road work
continues in
Sumner Village
• By Jess Gibson
THE NEXT step in the delivery of
the Sumner Village Master Plan is
under way.
Contractors are pouring new
kerbs and gutters on parts of Burgess
St, sealing Burgess St, preparing
to pave the south side of Marriner
St and finishing off installing
the water main and stormwater
pipes along Wakefield Ave.
Marriner St east will open and
close intermittently but contractors
will try and keep it open to traffic as
much as possible.
A one-way system will start today
to enable the final road reconstruction
work between the Hollywood
Theatre and the skate ramp.
This means traffic heading to the
city from Sumner will be detoured
through Nayland St west and the
city-bound bus stop will shift back
to Nayland St.
Contractors will finish installing
the new stormwater and water
pipes through the Nayland St/
Wakefield Avenue intersection during
the day, starting this week.
Vehicles are advised to slow down
and follow signage and instructions
from workers on site.

Peter Buttigieg - Shortest Way
Home One Mayor’s Challenge and a Model
for America’s Future. By Peter Buttigieg
Once described by The Washington Post as “the most interesting
mayor you’ve never heard of”, Pete Buttigieg, the thirty-six-year-old
Democratic mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has improbably emerged
as one of the US’s most visionary politicians. First elected in 2011,
Buttigieg left a successful business career to move back to his
hometown, previously tagged by Newsweek as a “dying city”, because
the industrial Midwest beckoned as a challenge to the McKinseytrained
Harvard graduate. Whether meeting with city residents on
middle-school basketball courts, reclaiming abandoned houses,
confronting gun violence, or attracting high-tech industry, Buttigieg has
transformed South Bend into a shining model of urban reinvention.
Shortest Way Home interweaves two once-unthinkable success
stories: that of an Afghanistan veteran who came out and found love
and acceptance, all while in office, and that of a Rust Belt city so
thoroughly transformed that it shatters the way we view America’s
so-called flyover country.
Queens of the Kingdom
The Women of Saudi Arabia Speak.
By Nicola Sutcliff
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the most mysterious and secretive
societies in modern times and the lives of the women living there is
perhaps the most intriguing aspect of all. What do the women of Saudi
Arabia really think about their lives? What are their hopes and dreams?
To separate fact from fiction, Nicola Sutcliff spent four years living in the
Kingdom, meeting and interviewing women of all ages and from all walks
of life. Their stories are presented here and paint a portrait of a country that
appears to be on the cusp of change.
In this collection of essays, the women talk candidly about their lives
and their hopes for the future. Meet Hafsa, a Bedouin who gave birth to
eleven children in the open desert; Jamila, the first wife in a polygamous
household; Jamila, a medical student who married a stranger in order to
pursue her education. Meet these and many other women and learn what
they think about subjects as diverse as education, driving, the religious
police, male guardianship, social media, women’s rights, love and
marriage, underground parties, under-the-abaya fashion and sexuality.
Authentic, eye-opening, inspiring and courageous, they capture the
essence of what it is like to be a woman living in Saudi Arabia today.
Dame Vera Lynn – Some Sunny Day
The remarkable autobiography of the last
great wartime icon. By Vera Lynn
Born Vera Welch on 20 March, 1917 in the East End of London,
Dame Vera Lynn’s career was set from an early age - along with her
father, who also did a ‘turn’, she sang in Working Men’s Clubs from
just seven years old. She had a successful radio career with Joe Loss
and Charlie Kunz in the 1920s and ‘30s, but it was with World War II
that she became the iconic figure that captured the imagination of the
national public. Her spirit and verve, along with her ability to connect
with the men fighting for their country and those left behind praying for
their loved ones, made her the ‘Forces’ sweetheart’. Her career after
the war flourished, with hits in the US and the UK, but Vera was never
able to leave behind her wartime role and was deeply affected by what
she had seen. Still heavily involved with veteran and other charities,
this is Dame Vera’s vivid story of her life and her war - from bombs
and rations to dance halls and the searing heat of her appearances
abroad. Epitomising British fortitude and hope, Dame Vera gives a vivid
portrait of Britain at war, and a unique story of one woman who came to
symbolize a nation.
Chanel’s Riviera
Life, Love and the Struggle for Survival on the
Cote d’Azur, 1930-1944. By Anne de Courcy
Far from worrying about the onset of war, in the spring of 1938 the
burning question on the French Riviera was whether one should curtsey
to the Duchess of Windsor. Few of those who had settled there thought
much about what was going on in the rest of Europe. It was a golden,
glamorous life, far removed from politics or conflict.
Featuring a sparkling cast of artists, writers and historical figures
including Winston Churchill, Daisy Fellowes, Salvador Dali, the Duke
and Duchess of Windsor, Eileen Gray and Edith Wharton, with the
enigmatic Coco Chanel at its heart. A captivating account of a period that
saw some of the deepest extremes of luxury and terror in the whole of
the twentieth century.
From Chanel’s first summer at her Roquebrune villa La Pausa (in the
later years with her German lover) amid the glamour of the pre-war
parties and casinos in Antibes, Nice and Cannes to the horrors of
evacuation and the displacement of thousands of families during the
Second World War, it explores the fascinating world of the Cote d’Azur
elite in the 1930s and 1940s.

LYTTELTON RESIDENTS can
have their say on a proposal to
develop Naval Point.
The two options open for public
feedback focus on site enhancement,
improved accessibility and
greater recreational safety – on
and off the water.
Option two also proposes that
the city council acquires a 1.2ha
block to help reconfigure the
Naval Point site.
Head of parks Andrew Rutledge
said the options have been
developed following discussions
with key stakeholders, working
with Rāpaki Marae and considerable
site research.
“We want to further develop
the water-focused recreational
space and ensure easy harbour
access that everyone can enjoy,
along with improved boating
safety. We also want to improve
the existing recreational facilities
already based in the area,” Mr
Rutledge said.
“Naval Point is one of the few
all-tide water access points for
Christchurch.
“Coupled with its rare, flat recreational
area, it is a major drawcard
for water sports enthusiasts,
and we need to carefully weigh
up development options based on
an array of community views.
“Once we have a preferred
option, we can then carry out
detailed planning and costings
for the Naval Point Development
Plan, which will go out for further
public consultation in 2020.”
Under both options, the waterfront
area will be reorganised to
improve access and safety.
Parking areas will be upgraded
and the present public ramp expanded.
It is proposed the Naval
Point Club and the Coastguard
will share a new facility that more
fully meets the needs of both
organisations.
Space will also be set aside for
the possible future development
of a multi-sport court area at the

Pupils plant 750 natives
at Sumnervale Reserve
• By Jess Gibson
SUMNER SCHOOL pupils helped plant
750 native grasses, shrubs and trees in
Sumnervale Reserve on June 22.
With help from the city council’s rangers,
about 220 pupils in years 5 to 8 were
involved in the first phase of a three-year
project which will eventually include the
whole school.
The project was set up by the city council,
Sumner School, Sumner Environment
Group and the Sumner Valley Riding
School. It will eventually improve water
quality in the stream and increase habitat
in the valley.

MAORI New Year was celebrated at Busy
C’s Preschool in Lyttelton with an evening
filled with songs, stories and food.
The Matariki event is a highlight on the
pre-school’s calendar each year, with children
and their families dressing up for the
evening in pyjamas and dressing-gowns.
This year the kids performed a play to tell
a story about children who plant trees to
provide food for native birds.
It was written by one of the teachers,
Frances Sommer, and tied in with Busy C’s
Enviroschool curriculum.
It aims to familiarise and encourage empathy
with the native species in the area.
“Tamariki have loved researching our
local native flora and fauna, and creating
the props and costumes for this play. They
are very keen to perform for their whanau
and friends,” said service provider Caro
Davidson.
Songs were performed in sign language

Deputy principal Rebecca Power said
the day was an opportunity for pupils to
be connected and involved over a period
of time in their local community and
environment.
“The pupils all know the Sumnervale
Reserve and can relate to this local environmental
opportunity to do something
in their own backyard. The planting day
was exciting for them as they could immediately
see they had helped to make a
difference.”
Some pupils gave their plants pet names
and vowed to go back and check how they
grow.

OLD
SCHOOL:
Australian
band
Icehouse
will headline
Selwyn
Sounds
at Lincoln
Domain
in March.

LINE-UP:
Iain, Graham,
Keith, Rick
and Paul from
10cc will also
perform.
Selwyn Sounds ‘strongest line-up yet’
THE LINE-UP for the next
Selwyn Sounds rock festival is
being touted as the best ever.
Iconic Australian band
Icehouse will headline the
Lincoln Domain event on March
7. Tickets go on sale at midnight
on Thursday at
www.selwynsounds.co.nz.
Said promoter David Parlane:
“This will be the fourth year
of Selwyn Sounds and this is
the best and strongest lineup
yet with three incredible
international acts.”
“Icehouse hasn’t played in
Christchurch since 1991, so very
proud to bring them to Lincoln
to play at Selwyn Sounds.”
The line-up will also feature
international acts 10cc, Midge
Ure, who is the voice of Ultravox,
and Kiwi bands Zed, The
Mockers, Automatic 80s and Jed
Parsons.
Icehouse was formed by Iva
Davies, the band’s frontman and
musical creative force, who led
the band to 28 platinum albums,
eight top 10 albums and more
than 30 top 40 singles, including
Great Southern Land, Hey Little
Girl, Crazy, Electric Blue, and We
Can Get Together.
“The band has been playing
together for more than 40 years,
selling out shows around the
world, including their last New
Zealand tour, selling out three
shows in record times to 45,000
people and rave reviews,” said Mr
Parlane.
“Midge Ure continues to tour
and play all around the world.
Many will remember Ultravox
from their exhilarating show at
Sweetwaters in the 80s. Their hit
album Vienna was in the NZ top
40 for over 47 weeks. 10cc has
sold out many concerts in New
Zealand in the past, with such hits
as Dreadlock Holiday, The Things
We Do For Love, I’m Not In Love,
Art For Art’s Sake, Rubber Bullets,
I’m Mandy Fly Me and Donna.
Getting the band Zed, which
will reunite after 15 years,
was a coup, he said. “They are
a real rock and roll story of
Christchurch school mates,” said
Mr Parlane.
The school mates formed a
band and went on to have four
top 10 hits.
Zed’s hits include Renegade
Fighter and Glorafilia. The group
recorded two albums, toured the
world, and then broke up. Zed
is back together to celebrate the
20-year anniversary of its debut
album Silencer.
Selwyn Sounds will again
benefit the local community, said
Mr Parlane.
“We have great support
from the Lincoln community.
Lincoln High will once again be
providing parking and all money
raised will go back to the school.
Our volunteer base comes from
numerous community groups in
the Selwyn region and its great
to support them through Selwyn
Sounds.”
TALENT: Midge Ure, the voice
of British new wave band
Ultravox.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Lyttelton takes a beating on Facebook
Lyttelton has received
a scathing yet satirical
review on the Sh** Towns
of New Zealand Facebook
page. The post, calling the
suburb a “grubby little
sh**-tip” and a “Lyttel
bit sh**, has received a
mixed response from the
community. Reporter
Jess Gibson gets reaction
from people in Lyttelton
Malcolm Carne disapproved
of what the post said about his
home of 20 years.
“Whoever wrote it is a nasty
idiot and
obviously
deluded
because it’s a
great place to
live. What can
I say without
using swear
words . . .
Malcolm
Carne
they’re a total
twit,” Mr Carne
said.
“They obviously haven’t
spent any time here or at least
not more than 5min. It’s total
bullsh** and I’ve never heard
such cr** in my life.”
Caro
Allison had
a different
outlook on the
post after living
in Lyttelton for
24 years.
“I think it’s
really clever
Caro Allison
and very, very
funny. It’s
fantastic and absolutely true,”
she said.
“Geographically and mentally,
we are kind of stuck here in a
way. Even though we’ve got the
ocean, the port and the harbour
out there, we are in our own
gorgeous bubble and if we can’t
laugh, it gets very sad.”
Caine Tauwhine, who has
lived in Rapaki for 15 years, said
the statements “might have been
the case in the 80s but not now.”

JOKING: In spite of its bustling cafe scene, Lyttelton received
an unflattering satirical write-up on a popular Facebook page.
Caine
Tauwhine
He said the
post was “too
harsh.”
“Lyttelton
is full of all
sorts – we get
the freaks,
the geeks and
everything in
between, but
the thing about
all those types is that they love
the place,” Mr Tauwhine said.
Guy Higginson, who grew
up in Lyttelton, also said the post
was harsh.
“I would say it’s probably
one of the best places to grow
up in. People
that don’t live
there have got
no idea,” Mr
Higginson said.
He did not
agree with the
town being
labelled “a
Guy
Higginson
Lyttel bit sh**”.
“Lyttelton is
Lyttelton, you
can give it a
name, but it’s a bit tongue-incheek
really. I guess it’s a play on
words.”
Denise Alty commutes to
Lyttelton through the tunnel
every day for work. She was
appalled by the post, calling
it “utterly
irrelevant and
ridiculous.”
“People come
here to enjoy
the ambience,
the feel and
the vibe. It’s
an incredibly
Denise Alty supportive
and closeknit
community. I work here
and grew up over the hill, so
Lyttelton is definitely a big part
of my life,” she said.
“I love Lyttelton, as do most
other Cantabrians. It’s a place
of character, artistry and peace.
This is disgusting.”
Lyttelton mother Emma
Dunningham took no offence
to the post, calling it funny, well
written and
witty.
“I certainly
don’t see
anything to be
offended about.
I think it’s all
pretty spot-on
Emma
Dunningham
and the things
that they are
bringing up as
a negative are
things that some of us can see as
a positive.”

to describe the post in one word,

SH** TOWNS of New Zealand
is a Facebook page which
reviews places across the
country.
It aims to tell people “all the
best places not to go on a New
Zealand holiday.”
Its profile of Lyttelton last
week received more than 1000
comments and 250 shares.
The post read: “Lyttelton
(dyslexic for ‘Little Town’) is
a notorious haunt of sailors,
dockers, Cantabrians and other
unsavoury types. The grubby
little s***-tip is a port town,
which means it exists primarily
for shipping out coal to overseas
global warming factories and
shipping in heroin.”
The post had a crack at
Lyttelton’s history and implied
the port town is stuck in its old
ways.
“Lyttelton’s favourite feature
is its timeball station, which
he called it
“laughable.”
“It’s water off
a duck’s back,”
he said.
“I mean, they
are good at
creative writing
but that’s about
Evan Kiddy it. It’s harsh,
but it’s just one
person’s view and that’s the sh**
thing about Facebook – people
can post whatever they like.”
Jason Lockhorst thought
there was some truth in the
post but the comments are not
limited to Lyttelton.
“Everything they talked
about has likely happened at

was reconstructed after the 2011
earthquake, despite timeballs
becoming obsolete about a
century ago. The timeball is well
worth seeing for anyone who’s
never heard of a clock,” it read.
It also criticised the Lyttelton
Rd tunnel, which was once the
longest in New Zealand until
Auckland’s Waterview Tunnel
opened in 2017. ‘
“The opening of the Lyttelton
Tunnel allowed road traffic from
Christchurch to reach the town
in record time, which became
known as ‘the speed of disappointment’,”
read the post.
The post listed an unusual
range of activities to do in Lyttelton,
including “joining a folk
band . . . or getting in a knife
fight with a Russian fisherman.”
The page targeted Rolleston
in November and gained a
similar mixed response from
residents.
some point in
time, but it’s
also probably
happened in
every city in
New Zealand
as well.”
“It was satire
and was a
hook, line and
sinker for a
lot of people.
Whoever wrote it was looking
for a laugh and they got laughs.
But of course, it ruffled a few
feathers,” Mr Lockhorst said.

VITTORIA
& Matt
A real nasty mess
HAPPY MATARIKI everyone.
I hope you’re all using this
wintery time of year as a perfectly
appropriate Kiwi cultural excuse
to eat heaps with the family.
Obviously hangi or a generous
roast are the best bets. Vittoria
had her first full hangi meal on
Saturday.
Now that I’ve got you thinking
of delicious food and eating, let’s
take this lowbrow and talk about
bodily functions. Just what you
wanted right? I’ve always counted
myself lucky to have avoided the
real nastiness of parenting babies
and toddlers so far. While my
mates have had all sorts of dramas,
I’ve missed (or dodged) the worst
of it.
I still count myself as lucky in
that regard (thankfully), but I got
my first taste of an ‘oh-hell-no’
toiletry nightmare this week.
After coming home from an
activity last week a whiff of bad
cabbage cologne told me it was
change time. Luckily, it was all
contained and wasn’t so bad in the
big scheme of things.
I congratulated myself on
another job well done.
She’d wet her pants a little
through the nappy and the house
was warm so I left her just in her
top and nappy for a bit while I
had some lunch in the kitchen
(out of the wee seagull’s view).
The true horror began soon
after. Leaving the kitchen,
RELAXED: Vittoria and I had
an afternoon in the park to
move on from the trauma of a
nightmare code brown.
I looked into the hall and
immediately asked the question:
“Is that a wee jobbie?”
It was. Right there on the floor.
But not just there.
Suffice to say, if it gets on a
shoe that’s about 30cm off
the floor on a rack, you’ve got
problems mate. Lord have mercy.
Round two was too much for her
nappy to handle.
So I rolled up my sleeves (way
up) and got stuck in, battling
through a tantrum, an awful
smell and kicking legs to clean up
the offending nightmare and get
Vittoria through a quick shower.
After that we both deserved a
fun afternoon in the park – as far
away from thoughts of a digested
meal as possible.

Lions raise $260k for health hub
AKAROA’S NEW health centre
has received a $260,000 funding
boost.
The Akaroa and Bays Lions
Club presented a cheque to the
Akaroa Health Trust last week.
The club spent five years
fundraising the amount within
the community and received
a $153,000 contribution from
Lions International.
The donation pushed the
trust’s funding to more than
$1.7 million. With the new
targeted city council rate to
collect $1.3 million, the initial $3
million goal has been met. The
centre will cost $5.9 million.
Said former Akaroa and
Bays Lions Club president
Tony Walls: “We need our
communities. These people have
repeatedly put their hands into
their pockets over the last five
years. They turned the vision of
an integrated health hub into a
reality.”
Mr Walls said the work
undertaken by Lions in Akaroa
has been subtle but significant.
The project raised $107,000
from fundraisers like Paddy’s
markets, street raffles, the Lions
golf tournaments and donations
from cruise ship passengers
visiting Akaroa.”
While raising the money,
Lions members continued
to support people, clubs and
causes.
At the presentation, Mr Walls
paid tribute to Paul de Latour,
who worked hard to support the
fundraising appeal over many
years.

Clubs former district governor
Philip Lynch spoke about the
contributions from Lions Clubs

International and the Lions
Clubs International Foundation.
The two groups donated
a combined $1.5 million to
Christchurch following the
quakes. Mr Lynch was the
Lions Earthquake Committee
chairman in Canterbury. The
group distributed the funds
which were used to re-establish
a number of community
activities.
Akaroa Health Trust
chairman Gordon Boxall said
the community was “incredibly
grateful to have a strong and
spirited Lions club.”
“This is a very significant
contribution towards our new
integrated health facility.”
“When Lions are involved,
problems get smaller, and
communities get better.”
As the $3 million goal has
been met, further community
fundraising will reduce the
amount which would otherwise
be raised through rates.

Sumner must win final round-robin matches
• By Gordon Findlater
A 17-25 loss to Burnside means
Sumner will need to win their
final two round-robin matches
to guarantee a spot in the plate
semi-finals of the premier metro
competition.
In their final home game of
the round-robin on Saturday,
Sumner stumbled out of the
blocks and found themselves
down to 14 men just 3min
into the match after lock
Max Kennedy was binned for
repeated infringements.
Burnside were able to make
the most of the man advantage
and quickly jumped out to a 0-17
lead.
“As a group we just didn’t play
well. Mentally, we weren’t exactly
on song and we gave Burnside a
bit of a running head start before
we decided to get our heads in
the game,” said Sumner coach
Martin Dodgson.
Sumner were able to get
themselves well and truly back
in the game through a penalty
try from a collapsed scrum, a try
to English halfback James Elliot
and the boot of Willy Sakura
providing two conversions and
penalty.
With 10min to play Sumner
found themselves in with a
SUMNER RUNNING club
members Lisa Brignull and
Shaun McWhirter both recorded
impressive results at the Wellington
Marathon on Sunday.
Brignull competed in the full
marathon, finishing second overall
amongst the women’s field and
first in her age bracket. Meanwhile,
McWhirter took on the half marathon
and finished 25th overall.
A time of 3hr 5min 52sec was a
new personal best on the Wellington
course for Brignall. She finished
just over three minutes behind the
women’s marathon winner Sonya
Cameron from Dunedin. Brignall
also won the women’s 40-49 age
group by more than 12min.
McWhirter’s time of 1hr 19min
58sec saw him finish 23rd in the
men’s half marathon. He also
finished seventh in the men’s 30-39
age group.
MATCH UP: Sumner face Linwood on Saturday needing a win to keep them in the running for a
plate semi-final. The last time the two met in April Sumner were put to the sword 22-76.

scrum from the Burnside line.

Impressive marathon results
HAUL: Lisa Brignull claimed a silver and
gold medal at the Wellington marathon
on Sunday.
Burnside won a scrum penalty
before going down the other end
and scoring a try to wrap-up the
match.
Dodgson said to play badly
until that point was a bit of a
shock.

work themselves back into the
game Dodgson says the major
concern from the game was their
lack of physical presence.
“We shouldn’t be getting
physically dominated by a
Burnside pack. Not after we
dominated the likes of Lincoln
and High School Old Boys . . .
because of that we couldn’t really
stick to our game plan,” said
Dodgson.
He says Sumner have now
made it difficult for themselves
to finish in the top two of the
bottom six – which will grant
them a plate semi-final. However,
the side still have fate in their
own hands.
While the result may not
have gone their way the
Sumner faithful were kept in
good spirits with outrageously
cheap $5 jugs of Tui beer at
the clubrooms to celebrate the
premier side’s last home game of
the season.
This Saturday Sumner take on
Linwood at Linfield Park. The
game kicks off at 2.45pm.

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas and feedback as part of our first phase
of consultation as we plan for our new school.
As well as the online survey, feedback was gathered from Post-It Stations at various
school events and from student House Groups and workshops.
A Community Consultation Report is now with the design team to assist in developing
the preliminary concept design for the new school.
The key findings in the report shows our community would like a new school which:
► Reflects Marian’s Roman Catholic Special Character, values, story and history
► Is inclusive and supportive. For example, reflects and celebrates Māori, Asian and
Pasifika cultures
► Fosters Marian’s family environment and supports small class sizes
► Has designated and comfortable spaces to pray, eat, prepare, teach, learn and be
together
► Is eco-friendly and sustainable
► Has full-sized, modern facilities designed to be functional and welcoming
► Has plenty of green, leafy space.
The full report is available on the Marian College website.
SERVICE IN THE COMMUNITY
This term, Marian students have filled paper bags with more than 200
non-perishable food items for Christchurch families in need.
During the July school holidays, Marian students will be working in the
Stanmore Road St Vincent de Paul shop. Please call in with your preloved
gently used clothing and household items and say hi.
Marian College has a long tradition of service. Both students and staff
members are actively involved and contribute positively to the wider
community. All students complete at least six hours of meaningful
service within the school and community, every year.

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 wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the
title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
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
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

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
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this

was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy

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

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the

“I’d like to think so because the
