Lack of
funding
forces
childhood
centre to
cut lunches
• By Matt Slaughter
A LOW DECILE Woolston early
childhood centre is set to stop
providing lunches to its children
due to what it says is insufficient
Government funding.
The Ministry of Education has
offered Kimihia
Early Learning
Centre an
$81,000 funding
increase but
its manager
Radhika
Chakrabarti
said it will still
not be enough
to provide the
Radhika
Chakrabarti
lunches next year and cover its
operating costs.
Said Ministry of Education
deputy secretary of sector
enablement and support Katrina
Casey: “We have recently
approved increased funding for
Kimihia Early Learning Centre,
which is due to take effect from
November. We are currently
waiting to hear back from them
on whether they agree to this
increase.”

Second meeting planned over bus speeds
Bromley residents
put concerns to
decision-makers
• By Matt Slaughter
A SECOND meeting is set to
take place in a bid to address
speeding buses and other traffic
issues in Bromley.
Pegasus Post reported last
week on buses speeding through
Bromley, which have been seen
reaching about 60km/h in
50km/h zones. Keighleys Rd
resident and Bromley School
teacher Cathy Baker said the
buses are putting school pupils
in danger.
They are also shaking houses
on streets such as Ruru Rd and
Hay St near the bus depot on
Maces Rd.
The first meeting was held
last week and attended by about
30 people who discussed their
concerns and questioned city
council staff and Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board members.
Environment Canterbury
councillor Nicole Marshall
was also at the meeting, as the
regional council manages the
Metro bus service.
Ruru Rd resident Doreen
Hughes raised her concerns and
solutions at the meeting.
ISSUES RAISED: A follow-up meeting will be held after
residents raised their concerns with decision-makers about
bus and traffic issues near the Maces Rd bus depot in
Bromley.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
“I’d like them [buses and
other heavy vehicles] to use
the main road down Dyers Rd
where there isn’t much housing,
it’s nearly all industrial, and
you can get onto Linwood Ave
there,” she said.
“I’d like to see them divert
some of the traffic or slow the
traffic down, calm the traffic
down somehow.
“It’s just awful living here.”
Mrs Hughes hopes decisionmakers
at the next meeting
will start to act on some of the
suggested solutions.
Said city council transport
operations manager Steffan
Thomas: “Residents raised
concerns about heavy traffic
using residential roads within
the Bromley catchment, causing
vibrations and loud noises on
streets, especially late at night,
speed of vehicles on long/uneven
roads, safety for children and
‘I’d like to see them divert
some of the traffic or slow
the traffic down, calm the
traffic down somehow. It’s
just awful living here’
– Doreen Hughes
nearby residents.
“Staff discussed how these
concerns could be mitigated
and that putting in place
road calming mechanisms
(physical and visual) to change
the appearance of the road,
influencing enforcement to
monitor speeds, speed cameras
and ways to encourage traffic to
use different routes were options
that could be considered.
“The community board will
discuss further to see what
they can advocate for, such as
to bring forward road fixtures,
talking with NZ police and
other relevant agencies,” he said.
Ms Marshall said she would
have a conversation with ECan
staff about the concerns raised
at the meeting and see what
assistance she could provide.
Linwood Ward councillor
Yani Johanson said city council
staff will now gather the
information needed to fully
answer residents’ questions.
A date will then be set for the
next meeting.
In Brief
ON-RAMP TO RE-OPEN
The Chaneys on-ramp is
scheduled to re-open on
Monday. The left-hand turn from
Marshland Rd, and Hills Rd, are
also set to re-open by Monday.
There have been delays the
completion of this work due to
broken machinery. The Chaneys
on-ramp will close permanently
when the Christchurch Northern
Corridor opens next year.
CROSSING UPGRADE
Work to install the South
Island’s first $300,000 puffin
crossing outside Hillview
Christian School in St Martins
was scheduled to begin on
Monday and is expected to take
two months. A puffin crossing
is a pedestrian crossing with
traffic lights, which go green
for vehicles only when infrared
detectors pick up no more
pedestrians. The only protection
currently available to pupils
crossing between the school’s
two campuses is a traffic island.
RAT TRAPPING TIPS
A question and answer session
on trapping rats will be held on
November 25 from 5.30pm until
7.30pm at The Old Stone House
in Cracroft. It is being hosted by

‘Families are going to struggle’
•From page 1
“[The] Government currently
spends over $1.8 billion on early
childhood education through
education subsidies,” Ms Casey
said.
Mrs Chakrabarti said the
centre has to either save about
$40,000 it costs a year for the
lunches or make cuts to its
teaching resources.
“I did not want to compromise
on our teaching and learning for
the children because they are the
future of this country.”
The cost of running the centre
has increased, so it would need
a bigger funding boost than the
one offered, Mrs Chakrabarti
said.
She said the centre
is in a low decile area

“The mums and parents and

“This is going to be hard on

Said Ms Casey: “The

“If services feel that the equity

Bid to form red zone group
PEOPLE WITH an interest in
the future of the city’s red zones
have been invited to join a new
advisory group.
The goal of the group is
to help create activity and
vibrancy in the red zone areas,
including the Port Hills, the
Ōtakaro Avon River Corridor,
Brooklands and Southshore,
ahead of longer-term regeneration.
Those selected will become
community representatives
on a Red Zones Transformative
Land Use Group, making
recommendations and giving
advice on possible initiatives,
ideas, and activities to help temporarily
transform the city’s red
zone land.
The group will also make
decisions on funding for some
transitional opportunities,
which could be short-term or
projects that last up to five
years.
The projects will aim to
benefit the community and
the environment and address
sustainability or ecological
challenges.
The city council is looking for
five community representatives,
including a youth member and
three Ōtakaro Avon River Corridor
representatives, for the
group.
EMPTY: A new advisory group will aim to create activity and
vibrancy in red zone areas across Christchurch, including on
the Port Hills.
“We’re on the hunt for
people who want to be part of
decision-making on initiatives
and activities that will make a
real difference to our city, said
city council head of urban regeneration,
design and heritage
Carolyn Ingles.
“If you’re someone who wants
to help transform the red zones
and you’re excited about representing
your community, then
we really want to hear from
you.”
The Red Zones Transformative
Land Use Group is a result
of the Global Settlement Agreement,
which set out how the
Crown and city council would
work together on transitional
land-use arrangements for the
red zones.
It also requires the city council
and Crown to set up a group
to provide community input to
Land Information New Zealand
and the city council on applications
for land use that last for
less than five years.
A co-governance group will
be established once ownership
of all or most of the red-zoned
land has been transferred to the
city council.
Drop-in information sessions
about the Red Zones Transformative
Land Use Group will
be held at various locations
across the city.
Applications for a position on
the group opened on November
11 and close on January 31.
They can be completed online
or forms are available at city
council libraries and service
centres.

Arborists bring Daisy back to earth
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A TEAM of professional
arborists were called to take part
in a spectacular rescue last week.
Treetech Specialist Treecare
Ltd was called out to rescue the
tonkinese cat Daisy last week
after she got stuck up a 15m tree
on Huntsbury Hill.
The drama unfolded after a
dog startled the cat, causing it to
run up the nearest tree.
SPCA Christchurch was
then alerted and reached out
to Tree-tech to help rescue
Daisy.
The SPCA first called the Fire
Service but it did not have the
gear to attempt the rescue.
“Because the tree was down
a steep track, there was no way
any vehicles could get near it,
which made it more challenging,”
an SPCA spokeswoman
said.
The cat was stuck up the
tree for 24 hours before being
rescued.
To complete the job, Treetech
aborist Nathan Shaw had to
climb the tree and descend onto
the limb where the cat was from
above.
He then approached the cat
cautiously and gently lifted it
into his empty rope bag.
The rope bag was secured at
the top and then gently lowered
using climbing equipment.
SAFE: Nathan
Walsh and
Daisy back on
the ground.
Once on the ground, the
SPCA crew transferred Daisy
to a cage. Treetech managing
director Chris Walsh said it has
carried out similar cat rescues in
the past.
“We have even rescued an
entangled magpie out of a tree
when asked to by the Fire Service.
When we are approached
by the likes of the SPCA or Fire
Service to provide specialist tree
services, we are happy to contribute
our time and expertise,”
Mr Walsh said.
The SPCA returned the
microchipped Daisy to her
owner.
Bromley School pupils
inspired by farm visit
THE AIM OF a Bromley School
field trip was to inspire a new
generation of farmers.
Pupils travelled to a farm in
Sheffield on November 4 to get
a taste of farming life. It was the
first time more than half of the
32 year 3 pupils had been on a
farm.
Ferrymead Rotary organised
and funded the visit. Member
Dion Crooks said many of the
pupils suggested they wanted to
be farmers after it.
A farmer showed off a twohour-old
merino lamb and its
mother and about 12 orphan
lambs, which were fed by the
pupils.
The farmer told the children
the story of sheep-farming and
gave a demonstration of the cunning
and skills of five sheepdogs.
The children then had the opportunity
to go horse riding and
for many, it was their first time
up-close with the animals.
Pupils were also taken on a
trip up a hill in a trailer towed by
a farm bike and they then played
on the hillside.
Bromley School team leader
Alistair Cron said: “The kids
were over moon about the trip
and very grateful for the opportunity.’’
FRIENDLY: Ryan Rushworth
was one of 32 Bromley
School pupils who went on a
field trip to experience what
life on a farm is like.
Mr Cron said the experience
has been followed by a variety
of follow-up activities including
writing about it, speaking about
it, sharing photos and putting
together a slide show.
He believes the trip will lead
to conversations about farming
between the pupils who went,
their siblings and parents.
Mr Cron said of the skills the
farmer showcased on the day:
“[They] geared and presented
everything at just the right level
for the children and the animals
were certainly a hit.”

Fewer dog
complaints
being made
• By Louis Day
ALMOST 9000 dog-related
complaints were made in the space
of a year by Christchurch residents.
From June 2018 to June this year,
8355 complaints were made to the
city council about dogs barking
and roaming. This was a decrease
on the 9633 complaints made between
June 2017 and June last year.
The city council also investigated
a further 575 “priority one complaints”
relating to dog attacks.
In this period, 1609 infringement
notices were also issued, ranging
from $100 to $750.
The owners of the dogs involved
in attacks can be prosecuted
and, depending on the offence,
may be fined up to $20,000 or imprisonment
for up to three months.
One dog owner was convicted
over the one-year period and
disqualified from owning dogs for
four years. Nine owners were put
on probation.
Four dogs were classified as
dangerous which brings the total
number of dogs on the dangerous
dog register to 55.
The number of registered dogs
in Christchurch has increased
from 38,500 in 2017/18 to 39,127 in
2018/19.
Eco-friendly transport use on the rise
PEOPLE ARE using their cars less
and walking, biking or scooting
more, a survey has found.
The life in Christchurch
transport survey findings show
while travel by car is still the
most popular mode of transport
in the city, there has been an
increase in the use of alternative
ways to get around.
The survey questioned about
3500 Christchurch residents
about their travel habits and the
city’s transport network.
Said city council monitoring
and research team leader Kath
Jamieson: “The proportion of
people who say they are using
their car less now compared to
12 months ago is 27 per cent –
up from 19 per cent in 2018.”
More than 40 per cent of
respondents said they cycle more
often now than they did a year
ago while 21 per cent say they
walk more often.
Ms Jamieson said the arrival
of electric scooters in Christchurch
has also impacted the way
people move around the city.
“Nineteen per cent of
survey participants reported
that they have used a rental e-
scooter more than once a month
in the past 12 months, while
two per cent of those surveyed
said they own their own e-scooter
so it has become a popular
alternative form of transport,’’

ECO-FRIENDLY: The life in Christchurch transport survey has found more people are opting to
cycle, walk and scooter around the city.
Ms Jamieson said.
The number of people using
public transport has risen from
29 per cent in 2018, to 32 per
cent this year.
Ms Jamieson said the survey
showed the condition of roads
and footpaths are continuing to
trouble people.
“Fifty-one per cent of the people
surveyed said they were dissatisfied
or very dissatisfied with
the condition of Christchurch’s
roads. Ongoing patch repairs to
road, potholes and uneven road
surfaces are the main reasons
people gave for their dissatisfaction,’’
Ms Jamieson said.
The city council recently
revealed an investment case that
PEGASUS POST
seeks $25-30 million funding to
improve the safety and condition
on more than 100 roads in
suburban areas of the city.
The areas proposed for
roading upgrades are New
Brighton, Richmond, Linwood,
Woolston, Spreydon, Somerfield,
Waltham, Beckenham and
Riccarton.

Dux awards run in the family
• By Louis Day
FEW PARENTS are lucky
enough to see one of their
children named dux – but
Lianne and Steven Everingham
have seen all four receive the
honour.
Recently their youngest child
Rebecca was crowned Marian
College dux, making her the
fourth in the family to receive
the accolade.
After watching her three
siblings earn their titles, Rebecca
said being named dux was a
“relief.”
“I did not want to be the only
child that did not get it,” she
said.
“I just wanted to be like them
[her siblings]. Ever since I was little
I looked up to them and they
were my inspiration.”
Rebecca credits part of the
family’s academic success to the
“lots of Coke Zero in the house.”
“I think we should stop buying
it because we are all a bit addicted
but it just gets us through
those long nights of study.”
She said having two teachers as
parents also helped.
“Ever since we were little, we
saw mum and dad working hard
and with both parents being
teachers, that love for learning
ACHIEVERS: (From left to right) – Elizabeth, Rebecca, Hannah and Matthew Everingham were all
named dux during their time at school.
really rubbed off on us.”
Her mother works at Avonside
Girls’ High and her father at
Christ’s College.
Mrs Everingham said “it was
pretty cool” to see their fourth
child receive the honour.
“That was a lovely feeling as a
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
parent and to see all the support
from her friends and teachers
was really great,” she said.
Rebecca plans to go to Victoria
University in Wellington next
year to study ecology and biodiversity,
as well as literary and
creative communications.
Her brother Matthew, who was
the St Bede’s College dux in 2012,
graduated from Canterbury
University with law and music
degrees and is now working in
the United States as a musical
director.
Their sister Elizabeth was
crowned Marian College dux in
2014 and has since completed
degrees in law and history.
And Hannah was Marian
College dux in 2016 and is
currently studying physics
and spanish at Canterbury
University.

There is not much better
than a cup of tea or
coffee and a slice of cake,
especially when it almost
looks too good to eat. Here’s
one you can easily decorate
yourself
Morning Magpie’s carrot
cake
For the cake
2 free-range eggs and 2 freerange
egg yolks
4 free range egg whites
320g flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground cloves
400g neutral-tasting oil such as
sunflower or canola
540g white sugar
100g chopped walnuts
100g desiccated coconut
270g peeled and grated carrot
(about two carrots)
For the icing
525g cream cheese
210g softened (to room
temperature) butter
105g icing sugar
75g honey
fresh thyme
Directions
Tuesday November 19 2019
Tasty Bites
Cake
Separate the eggs (six in total).
Put the whole eggs and yolks
in one bowl, and the whites in
another large, clean and dry
metal bowl.
You will be left with two
spare egg yolks (with a little
imagination you can find a way
to put them to good use in some
other noble kitchen endeavour).
Add a pinch of salt to the egg
whites and, with an electric
beater, whisk until they form
stiff white peaks (the salt helps to
stabilise them). Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the
sugar and oil on high for 2min.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
How to make a cake taste as good as it looks
Add the whole eggs and egg
yolks, continuing to mix until
incorporated.
Use a rubber spatula to mix the
walnuts, coconut, and carrot into
the creamed oil and eggs.
Sift the flour, baking powder
and soda, and spices into the wet
mix, and delicately fold through.
Fold one-third of the whipped
egg whites into the rest of the
batter, followed by the rest of
them. Don’t worry if there are a
few streaks of white left – this is
far preferable to over-mixing the
cake batter.
Divide the
batter between
two greased
round silicon cake
moulds. Make sure
to weigh as you
are filling them,
so that the two
rounds end up
evenly sized.
Bake in the
centre of the oven
for 40min at 160
deg C.
After baking,
let the cake cool
completely in the
moulds (at least
four hours).
If you are
leaving it
overnight before
icing – this is a
good idea – wrap
the rounds in cling
film once cooled and removed
from moulds.
Assembly and decoration
Make sure all ingredients are at
room temperature, and also clear
a shelf in your fridge that a large
chopping board will fit on.
In a large bowl, beat the
cream cheese on high for about
4min, until it takes on a silky
consistency. Beat in the butter.
Add the icing sugar and honey,
and reduce the beater to a lower
PEGASUS POST
speed until they are fully mixed
through. Then your icing is
ready.
If the cake rose into a dome
shape while baking, remove the
rounded top with a bread knife
to make sure both rounds are
level.
Place one cake round on a
large chopping board, and spread
a 1cm thick layer of icing on top
of it. Stack the other round on
it, making sure the two are well
aligned. Don’t worry if some of
the filling comes out the sides.
Use an offset spatula to spread
a thin layer of icing over the top
and sides of the assembled cake.
It doesn’t matter if you can see
the cake through this layer. Once
it is covered, place the cake in the
fridge for one hour. When this
first layer of icing sets, it prevents
any dark cake crumbs getting
mixed up in the final layer of
white icing.
Once the first layer is set,
remove the cake from the fridge
and apply the rest of the icing as
you see fit. You can put a thick
layer on the top and a scant layer
around the sides, but this is just
a matter of taste – you should
experiment and find a style you
like. Chill the cake for another
hour before cutting. Garnish
with fresh thyme leaves and flaky
sea salt. Use a hot bread knife to
cut the cake, cleaning it between
each slice.

SHIFT gears into a new career in tech
Tech is big and getting bigger. The technology sector boomed
in FY2019, cementing its position as one of our largest
export earners according to the latest annual TIN (Technology
Investment Network) Report. The number of people employed
by the technology sector increased by 7.9 per cent last year
to 51,569, and Canterbury’s tech revenue alone grew by 10.3
per cent. It has never been a better time to add tech to your
skill set and start your journey into NZ’s fastest growing sector.
The future is tech. Be part of it.
When it comes to the world of tech, the employment
opportunities are virtually limitless. SIGNAL’s SHIFT
programme was created to help you explore, experience
and embrace those opportunities, adding to your
qualifications and expanding your earning potential in this
vibrant, fast-paced sector.
SHIFT fast-tracks your tech learning with an industryfocused
one-year programme, that not only boosts your
skills, but gives you practical industry experience and an
industry network to help you move into tech.
Quick. Smart. Relevant.
SHIFT is an innovative industry-driven programme for
those who are seeking a new career path, who may or may
not have a tech background. Open to degree holders in
any discipline, SHIFT learners have come from diverse
backgrounds such as medicine, philosophy, sociology,
commerce, geography, marketing, engineering and
humanities.
And if you already have a tech related degree, you can
expand your expertise by focusing on a new area and
gaining valuable industry skills and connections.
A unique learning experience.
Using immersive studio-based learning and real-world
industry experience, SHIFT produces graduates with a
solid base of core tech skills, as well as the communication
and collaborative skills required in the tech industry.
SHIFT enables you to meet and work with local tech
employers. You will complete group projects with tech
mentors, and also gain experience via a 200-hour
placement within industry. This allows you to add value to
your host and to showcase your capabilities.
Opportunities.
Tech roles exist in nearly every area, from aviation to zoology,
and career possibilities are extensive. During SHIFT you
can focus on software design and development, business
analysis, data science, web design, project management,
user experience design, technical writing, service delivery,
and the list goes on.
Diversity is important in the tech sector. The best designed
products incorporate many viewpoints to meet customer
requirements. Tech firms are actively recruiting to increase
gender and ethnic diversity across their employees, and
can sometimes offer flexible hours and remote working
opportunities.
SHIFT starts early 2020 and limited partial
scholarships are also available.
To find out more about what tech career
opportunities exist and how you can start your
journey into tech in 2020, contact us on 0800

84 Glenstrae Road, Redcliffs
Auction: 5 Dec. unless sold prior
3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 4 toilets
3 living rooms | study | gym
4 car-garage | Listing SM0277
Brimming with personality and enjoying
extensive views out over the ocean,
this exceptionally spacious residence
was designed by Wayne Seebeck and
is uniquely appealing. This property is
currently insured, deemed repairable but
is being sold on an ‘as-is, where-is’ basis,
with highly motivated sellers.
Lashings of colour give the home
an endearing edge, and the selection
of sizeable windows maximise the
magnificent ocean views which are offered
in this hillside setting.
The vast 447m2 floor plan is ideally
proportioned for families and includes
3 bedrooms, a study, 2 bathrooms, 4
toilets, 3 separate living zones, a gym/
wine cellar/storeroom on the ground floor
and oversized 4 car garaging. There’s easy
drive-on access with plenty of off-street
parking and turning space.
A modern kitchen has granite benchtops
and is centrally positioned within the open
plan area which accommodates dining and
unwinding, while adjoining a media room.
Both rooms feature bi-fold doors that flow
outdoors for ease of entertaining.
An expansive formal dining room
provides further living options as it
incorporates a sitting area that boasts
commanding views over the water.
Of the bedrooms, the upstairs master
is generous in size and has the luxury of
a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and balcony
access while the main bathroom services
the other 2 bedrooms and a total of four
toilets caters brilliantly to busy households.
Electric ceiling heating, underfloor
heating and a gas fire assist with delivering
a comfortable climate while technological
convenience is provided by an intercom,
extensive speaker system and a vacuum
system.
Superbly equipped for summertime,
the property comes complete with an
in-ground pool which is complemented
by a spa and surrounding patio to ensure
it’s an area where the whole family will
congregate for BBQ’s, relaxing and
lapping up the last of the sun. Bask in
the professionally landscaped grounds
with an auto irrigation system for added
convenience.
Situated a short drive from the
Ferrymead and Redcliffs shops, while
a little over five-minutes from Sumner
Beach, this property ensures you can
embrace a coastal lifestyle while remaining
within a 20-minute drive of the central
city.
This distinctive and generously
proportioned property will inspire
those looking for an “as-is” to repair for
themselves. Totally liveable or rentable
now with excellent resale value in the
street. A full information pack and concept
drawings for re-development are available
on request.
