Five by-election candidates
based outside the area
• By Bea Gooding
FIVE OF the seven candidates
seeking election onto the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board don’t live in
the area they wish to serve.
Postal votes close on October
16 for the by-election to fill the
Central Ward position after the
death of long-serving community
board member and former city
councillor Sally Buck.
Of the seven candidates, Clive
Antony, Faimeh Burke, Celeste
Donovan, Sunita Gautam,
Wayne Hawker, Paul Lonsdale
and John Stringer, only Hawker
and Antony live in Central
Ward.
Central Ward city councillor
Jake McLellan said it was more
beneficial to live in the ward you
intend to represent.
“It’s always better to live
in the ward that you represent,
and it’s an advantage, but not
a necessity. The key thing
living outside of the ward is
to have an understanding of
the local community and
making those connections,” he
said.
However, Antony did not see
living in the area as being vitally
important.
“It’s in the first line of the ballot
Clive Antony Wayne Hawker Faimeh Burke
John Stringer
paper whether candidates live in
the area, so residents will take
that into account if
that’s important to them,” he
said.
“But it’s something I don’t
really pay too much attention to,
and I’m not going to sit
here and have problems with
people wanting to run because
they live outside of the area – at
the end of the day it’s a contest of
ideas.”
Voting for the community
board’s by-election started last
week by post and have until mid-
October to do so.

New ‘recipe’ to curb
smelly Bromley site
THIS
A NEW ‘recipe’ for making
compost at the organics
processing plant in Bromley
could hold the key to reducing
the suburb’s odour issues.
The new recipe has been
formulated over the past three
months at the Living Earth plant
(right).
“As it takes about 12 weeks
for material to go through the
composting process, we won’t
know exactly what impact
the new recipe has had on the
odour situation until the end
of October,’’ said
city council city
services general
manager David
Adamson (left).
“However,
tests that we have
done show the
new compost
recipe gives off considerably less
potentially odorous gases than
the old compost recipe so there
are promising indicators it will
make a positive difference.
“We appreciate there has not
been a significant change to
odour in the wider area so far
but are hopeful that Bromley
residents will gradually start
to notice the odour issues
dissipating as the new compost
recipe works through the
facility.’’ Adamson says new
‘housekeeping’ processes
at the transfer station have
significantly reduced the
odour coming from that
facility.
The council plans to
survey residents in Bromley
soon about the odour issues
and whether they have noticed
an improvement in the air
quality.”
Guided walks
to resume at
Botanic Gardens
WEEK will see the
resumption of guided walks
by the Friends of the Botanic
Gardens guiding team, but with a
difference.
Pre-lockdown, the guides
offered daily walks from the
museum from September to
April, with the great majority of
customers being overseas tourists.
The landscape has changed and
the guiding programme has had
to change with it. From October
to December this year, the guides
will be offering a selection of daily
45min walks in different parts of
the gardens.
The guides love to share the
stories of the unique Botanic
Garden, stories of its history, of
its place in the history, and stories
of trees and plants, such as the
iconic Kauri tree which belongs
to an ancient group of trees from
the times of the dinosaurs.
A relative of the kauri was
discovered as recently as 1994 in
the Blue Mountain region of New
South Wales – six specimens of
this tree are now planted along
the drive near the visitors’ centre.
Walks will be free until the end
of this year, and a small charge
may be incurred into 2021 to
support the work of the Botanic
Gardens.

Rob, 84, graduates from Outward Bound
ROB WALDRON has pushed
out the boat like no other before
him.
At the age of 84 he is the oldest
person to be a graduate of one of
New Zealand’s iconic challenges
– an Outward Bound adventure.
Outward Bound has been running
since 1962 and, according
to the collective memory of the
staff and the records examined,
Waldron is the oldest that has
taken part in a formal challenge
in the Marlborough Sounds.
You could say the activities
course was somewhat of a
destiny for Waldron, a resident at
Ryman Healthcare’s Woodcote
Retirement Village in Hornby.
Having lived in a number of
parts of New Zealand after his
initial upbringing on the island
of Guernsey in the Channel
Islands, located between the
United Kingdom and France,
adventure has somehow crept
into Waldron’s life. Certainly
his enjoyment of the course in
Anakiwa showed this.
On completion Waldron said
the course was a mix of physical
challenges, as well as bringing
emotions to the surface – as
attendees sat around and chatted
in the evenings talking about
topics including self-awareness
and future aspirations.
TRUE GRIT: Rob Waldron, 84, is the oldest person to be a
graduate of the Outward Bound course.
Born in 1935, Waldron was
evacuated from Guernsey in the
early stages of World War 2 to
the relative safety of Bolton in
Lancashire.
Back on the island he trained
as an electrician, met his wife
Jean married in 1958 and then
in 1959 the couple decided to
emigrate to New Zealand. They
started life in Christchurch before
moving down to Alexandra.
Central Otago gave Waldron
plenty of chances to pursue his
walking along the tracks and
byways. The couple also brought
up two daughters, Joanne and
Debbie.
Eventually, in the 80s he and
Jean took the chance for an
extended tour of Europe travelling
by a Eurorail pass. They also
caught up with parents and family
in Guernsey where they had a
five-month stay.
On the return to New Zealand
it was back to work, but the purchase
of a pop-top caravan saw
the couple making the most of
weekend getaways in the South
Island.
The pair eventually landed in
Woodcote village, about nine
years ago, where they continued
to love life and getting to know
other residents from their townhouse.
Jean passed away a couple
of years ago. Waldron kept in
close touch with his daughters
and family members, but during
Covid-19 lockdown decided to
expand his horizons.
As restrictions loomed, he took
up walking challenges, venturing
up to 23km a day and reckons he
has covered many hundreds of
kilometres in total. “I don’t think
I’ve ever felt fitter,” he said before
leaving for Anakiwa.
Waldron is independent. He
left Christchurch, getting up
early to travel to Picton by bus
on September 8 then it was on
to the Marlborough Sounds
on September 9. The eight-day
‘Aspire – Low Impact’ course,
for 10 attendees, started straight
away. While Waldron was aware
that some of the Outward Bound
components could include a
tree-tops walk, kayaking, rock
climbing, sailing and a solo challenge,
he didn’t know the course
details or in what order he would
face them.
Before he left one of his bigger
concerns was there would be
morning dips in the ocean, but
Waldron has since conquered
any uncertainties and followed
the dream.
He says the idea to take part
came from a fellow volunteer at
Foodbank Canterbury. Waldron
has been working for the charity
for about 18 months.
He has been appreciative too
that the cost of attending the
course, was provided by Ryman
Healthcare.
“I think if I’d done it on my
own I’d have possibly backed
out. Now I can’t back out. So a
big thank you to Ryman,” he
said.
Note:
• Please note that I have changed the dates for term 1 next year by a week. Note the closing date for T1 next
year is MONDAY 12 October - the start of term 4 and Ballot day is 14 October.
• The enrolment procedure for term 1 of any year is governed by legislation that requires schools to have
the closing date for applications… no later than 15 October.
• We advertise early enough at the beginning of each term to allow six weeks of school before a successful
OOZ applicant starts school. Gives time for transition.

The Spreydon-
Cashmere Community
Board is keen to
consider establishing an
adult playground. Here
is what readers have to
say about the idea
Diane Sowerby – I love the
idea.
As an adult who has continued
to use playgrounds I would love
to see bigger, longer swings.
See-saws might need higher
sponge under them for knee
protection, and maybe include
some brain stimulator stuff.
My 17-year-old says the
playgrounds will be taken
over by teens. I say great. If teens
need playgrounds, we share . . .
or we could look at other types
of outside equipment to suit
them.
Other ideas for a space include
the exercise equipment
that is now in some parks, and
petanque space.
Other considerations
would be building them on a
bus route near a cafe – Remura
Park off Colombo St – or
on the green space behind the
South library.
I would love to be part of a
group to keep looking into this
idea.

early childhood teacher who
has previously established and
PLAY TIME: Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board chairwoman Karolin Potter believes a
playground dedicated to adults would be well used.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
co-ordinated a seniors church
ministry in Christchurch, I
read the article about adult
playgrounds and thought it was a
great idea.
Loneliness is a serious
health hazard to elders.
Rest homes have supported
outings.
I imagine they could use it.
Perhaps Volunteering Canterbury
could supply some buddies
to support individuals not in rest
homes to go.
Many, like myself, who love
being outdoors, may find
this adult playground a great
boost to morale, community
connectedness, mental health
and well-being. I’m all for it.
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do
you think installing an
adult playground in the
Spreydon Cashmere
area would be a good
idea? Email your views to
southern@starmedia.kiwi
Lyn Hayes – I think having
an adult playground is a “potty”
idea.
Not too many adults would
be swinging and sliding. They
would bring their grandchildren
as that is the main reason adults
go to playgrounds and so that
would defeat the purpose.
If [Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board chairwoman]
Karolin [Potter] really wants to
do something in our area for
the “adults” maybe she could get
us a nice walkway that is only
for walkers or runners and not
scooters or cyclists.
The lovely new walk on
Cashmere/Sparks Rd is spoilt
by cyclists racing around and
yelling at walkers to get out
of the way. I would not advise
anyone on a walker to go
there.
Apart from the millions that
have been spent on cycleways the
cyclist have plenty of options eg:
Adventure Park etc, but there
does not seem to be any area
just for walking unless it is up in
the hills and even then there are
cyclist screaming out – “get out
of the way.”
They are also all over the
footpaths which can also be very
dangerous.
She could also sort out
more public toilets as they are
few and far between. There is
no toilet around the Cashmere/
Spark Rds area at all which is a
shame.

Above the Ground and Now Over the Fence
Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste
and Kumusta. Greetings to everyone at LCŌ and our wider LCŌ community.
It is very heartening to see the visible signs of progress with our rebuild for
our return to Aldwins Rd to what will be Te Aratai College. Those of us who
have peered through the gate over the past weeks have seen the foundation
work progress to be above ground, and now we see structures over the fence.
It is worth remembering too just how good this rebuild is. As we have said
in the past, the next time that you are in Tūranga, the central library, look up
and look around. The same architect, Carsten Auers of Architectus, who
designed Tūranga, is the architect for our school. Stunning.
Likewise, Southbase Construction is a highly
experienced and expert construction company with
major success in many school redevelopment,
whether totally new or a rebuild.
Shifting a school comes with its own set
of challenges. For a start, there are the
logistics of moving everything from
basketballs to hydrochloric acid, but more
importantly, there is ensuring consistency
of belonging and connection to our school,
and ensuring consistency of learning.
However, these challenges are much
more positive ones to work through than
the challenges of being at school in the
middle of a building site: safety, noise, dust,
temporary buildings, reduced playing areas
and so on. And, as I have said before, our leaving
Aldwins Road means a year comes off the building
programme and there is a saving of a $1m that has been
retained in the programme.
Mr Ken Bye, a former (and legendary) LHS-LC history teacher and Head of
Social Sciences, spoke at the Farewell Celebration Weekend in April 2019 to
the hundreds of past pupils who attended this wonderful weekend to celebrate
and farewell LHS-LC’s first 65 years. During his talk, he used the phrase,
“If only these walls could talk” and this firmly resonated with me. Ken was
absolutely right. A lot of life occurs in a school and as a community resource
and focal point, schools experience all the joys and tragedies that occur in a
community. Our leaving those original school buildings was a significant event
in our school’s history, and fortunately, is one which helps springboard us into a
new era for LC. We leave in order to return, but we leave aware of, and thankful
to, all the people who have gone before and all that they have done for us.
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi engari he toa takitini - My strength is not mine
alone; my strength is from many.
Linwood
College
Te Aratai - Pathway to the Sea
With the rebuild underway, it is now an appropriate time to consider the school’s
name. Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga has gifted a new name to the school and it is
one that our Board of Trustees have whole-heartedly supported. The name is
Te Aratai. In English: pathway to the sea.
The guiding reasons underpinning the name has been outlined by Dianne
Robinson on behalf of Ngāi Tūāhuriri. Dianne is a Mana Whenua Education
Facilitator for Mātauraka Mahaanui:
“Linwood College on Aldwins Road is adjacent to the direct pathway (now
Linwood Ave) to Te Ihutai, “The Avon-Heathcote Estuary” which was part
of a larger fishery used by Ngāi Tūāhuriri. Te Ihutai, was renowned
for its abundance and variety of fish and shellfish, including tuna
(eels), kanakana (lamprey), inaka (whitebait), pātiki (flounder),
and pipi. Several nearby kāinga nohoanga (settlements) took
advantage of the estuary’s rich food resources, with caves
along the base of the nearby foothills providing necessary
shelter. The estuary itself was the gateway to the vast
comprehensive network of wetlands that once extended
throughout the Canterbury region, with the Ōtākaro (Avon)
and Ōpāwaho (Heathcote River) being the primary access
routes. This name links the school to this significant route
and this significant mahinga kai area (Te Ihutai) which was
traditionally owned and used by Kaiapoi Ngāi Tahu (Ngāi
Tūāhuriri) and this relationship is acknowledged as part of the
Claims Settlement Act 1998. The major waterways Ōtākaro and
Ōpāwaho flow into Te Ihutai and the school’s catchment zone
includes schools located along these waterways.”
The Board’s intention is that the school changes its name to Te Aratai
for our return to Aldwins Road, 2022. We acknowledge the proud history of
the name Linwood since 1954, the school’s opening. 2022, and our complete
school rebuild, is the opportunity to create a school name and identity that is
open and inclusive to our wider community we serve and is not just based on
the actual location of the school. And, in a deep irony, Linwood High School-
Linwood College has never actually been in Linwood. Our Aldwins Road site is
actually in Phillipstown.
More information about the name and the legal process for changing a school
name will be forthcoming. We are very grateful to Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga
for their gift to our whānau, to our community of this beautiful and appropriate
name -Te Aratai.
Ngā mihi nui -
Richard Edmundson Tumuaki-Principal
The Turning of the Sod
On Wednesday the 5th of August Linwood College at Ōtākaro
commemorated a milestone in the rebuild process.
It was a particularly brisk but clear Canterbury morning for this important
ceremony. Representing the school were LCŌ’s Head Students Mario
Cvetkoski and Paigan-Lilly Hall as weall as the Watson-Hall whānau,
a family whose tamariki span right through the school’s year levels,
from Year 7 to Year 13.
LCŌ were honoured to have Ngāi Tūāhuriri and Ngāti Wheke
present. Also in attendance were the Ministry of Education, the
Board of Trustees, the rebuild architects from Architectus, the project
management firm RDT Pacific, Southbase Construction and various
school staff.
The event began on Aldwins Road where everyone was greeted by
Corban Te Aika, Ngāi Tūāhuriri, who led everyone onto the site and
blessed the land with karakia. The official sod was dug by our head
students and has been retained for reinstating in the official opening.
The ceremonies ended with the sharing of kai and kōrero.

I’m proud to call the Wigram electorate my home.
South West Christchurch is where I grew up and over the last nine years it’s been my privilege to represent
my local area. I have shown that I will always stand up for our people and communities. My experience and
commitment is proven in making sure our neighbourhoods achieve all their potential.
I am asking you to support me to continue as the MP for Wigram. I am also asking for you to party vote
Labour. Jacinda and the Labour team have led a decisive health response to COVID that put people first.
By protecting our health, we set New Zealand up for a strong economy recovery. We have a five point
rebuild plan that is about people, jobs, the future and supporting our businesses. This is already in motion.
Now is not the time to risk slowing down.

I am experienced in advocating behalf of locals and working closely with schools, community groups,
individuals and businesses. I have represented Wigram since 2011 as the local MP, and since 2017 I have
had the privilege of serving as the Minister of Greater Christchurch Regeneration, Energy and Resources,
Research, Science and Innovation, and Housing.
As a Minister in Government I make sure Wigram’s voice is heard.

Spending time with people in Wigram is so important to me.
From visiting local businesses and schools, to chatting with people at markets (or down at the
supermarket), or meeting people at the office. I am always available to listen to you. From these
conversations I work with people to find solutions to local problems from community safety to traffic
and parking, to local funding initiatives.
