New ‘recipe’ to curb 

smelly Bromley site 

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 

(above). 

“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.”

MARK ARNEIL 

Candidate, Christchurch Central 

Resident of St.Albans, 58 and married with three children. 

Accomplished hospitality and recreation & events manager, 

with global experience running large complex operations 

in both the private and public sectors. Former owner of a 

successful hospitality & leisure consulting business. 

I am standing for NZ First because: 

•On my return after working overseas five years ago, I was struck by the 

inequality and a new class of working poor finding it hard to make ends meet 

let alone owning a home, the deterioration of public services, and a lack of 

investment in infrastructure to keep pace with unfettered population growth. 

•I was also appalled by National’s obsession with a low wage workforce 

instead of training young people - putting profit before people and the 

environment, their lack of compassion towards the elderly and other vulnerable 

groups, and their relentless sales of land, state houses, and primary businesses 

to foreign interests. 

My Priorities: 

•A more egalitarian, inclusive and just society in which everyone can provide 

for their families with well-paying jobs and affordable housing without being 

burdened with a lifetime of debt. 

•Environmental, economic and sovereign rights vigorously protected. 

•New Zealand as a responsible Pacific leader and protector. 

•Accessible and high quality health care. 

•Future generations able receive education and training well matched to their potential. 

•More government investment in infrastructure needs, research and 

development, and job rich sustainable industries. 

•Implementing the Provincial Growth Fund to boost regional economies. 

•Strong border security with all returnees paying their fair share. 

•An immigration policy strictly targeted to genuine labour and skills shortages. 

•Always looking after the elderly and all vulnerable groups.

Wetland, walking track planned 

A NEW WETLAND area with 

walking tracks will be developed 

as part of flood protection work 

in the Aranui and Bexley area. 

The Three Waters 

Infrastructure and Environment 

Committee voted to accelerate 

work on the project in the 

Ōtākaro Avon 

River Corridor 

regeneration 

area so that 

construction 

can get under 

way next year. 

“This is a 

wonderful 

Pauline 

Cotter 

opportunity 

to take an 

integrated 

approach to how we manage 

land, water and natural hazards,’’ 

said councillor Pauline Cotter, 

chairwoman of the Three Waters 

Infrastructure and Environment 

Committee. 

“The project that we 

approved will do far more 

than simply reduce the risk 

of flooding; it will have 

ecological and environmental 

benefits and it will create another 

recreational area that people can 

enjoy.” 

The project involves 

building a new stopbank and 

stormwater detention basin 

(pond) and wetland in the

triangle of land between Pages 

Rd, Anzac Drive and the 

Ōtākaro Avon River. 

Walking tracks and other 

recreational and landscape 

features will be included in the 

stormwater basin and wetland 

area, in keeping with the vision 

outlined in the Ōtākaro Avon 

River Corridor Regeneration 

Plan. 

“I’m pleased that we’ve been 

able to speed-up the delivery 

of this project because it will 

demonstrate the way forward in 

other parts of the Ōtākaro Avon 

River Corridor Regeneration 

area where we are going to have 

to adapt and learn how to live 

with water,’’ Cotter said. 

The project was originally 

scheduled to begin in the 

2024/25 financial year, but now 

city council staff plan to have the 

detailed design work completed 

by the end of this year so that the 

work can be tendered early next 

year. 

Construction costs for the 

project are estimated at $12 

million. This work will be 

funded through the Land 

Drainage Recovery Programme 

and the Christchurch 

Regeneration Acceleration

administrator 

retires 

YVONNE RITCHIE is retiring 

after 25 years of looking 

after bookings for the Ascot 

Community Centre at Queen 

Elizabeth II Park. 

The city council is now looking 

for a new group to manage the 

facility. 

The community centre is currently 

used by the Ascot Petanque 

Club, a gentle exercise group, 

an older adults’ social group, 

the New Brighton Photographic 

Club and a scrabble group. Other 

groups also hire the community 

centre on a casual basis. 

Ritchie became bookings administrator 

in 1994 when the former 

Ascot Golf Course clubrooms 

became a community centre and a 

committee was formed to manage 

the community centre on behalf 

of the city council. 

She received a certificate of 

appreciation from the Coastal– 

Burwood Community Board 

on September 21 for her years of 

service.

PEGASUS POST 

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.

Rage 

by Bob Woodward 

After ignoring interview requests for Woodward’s 2018 book Fear, which 

described efforts by members of the early Trump administration to contain the 

president’s behavior, Trump allowed Woodward to interview him on more than 

a dozen occasions for Rage. CNN reports that the book reveals “explosive 

accounts” of Trump’s attitude toward the pandemic, Black Lives Matter, and 

other events of 2020. 

The book also contains reporting from 25 letters between Trump and North 

Korea’s Kim Jong Un that will be public for the first time—including one in 

which Kim “describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a ‘fantasy 

film,’” according to the publishers Simon & Schuster.

The Rodchenkov Affair 

How I Brought Down Putin’s Secret Doping Empire 

by Grigory rodchenkov 

As a leading chemical scientist and Director of the Moscow Anti-Doping 

Laboratory, Dr Grigory Rodchenkov was at the forefront of global efforts to 

detect drugs cheats in sport. Yet he was simultaneously running the most 

elaborate doping scheme in history, helping thousands of athletes and elite 

players evade detection. Then the cracks started to show, and Vladimir Putin 

sent him a chilling message . . . 

Icarus, the Oscar-winning Netflix film, followed Grigory Rodchenkov as he 

turned whistleblower, fled Russia and entered the US Witness Protection 

Programme. In this explosive memoir he reveals how everything he has 

exposed so far — leading to Russia’s double Olympic bans – is merely the 

tip of the iceberg.

Inside the forbidding stone walls of New Zealand’s most infamous gaol 

Grim, Victorian, notorious, for 150 years Mount Eden Prison held both New Zealand’s 

political prisoners and its most infamous criminals. Te Kooti, Rua Kenana, John A. 

Lee, George Wilder, Tim Shadbolt and Sandra Coney all spent time in its dank cells. 

Its interior has been the scene of mass riots, daring escapes and hangings. 

Highly regarded historian Mark Derby tells the prison’s inside story with verve and 

compassion.

The Girl From Revolution Road 

by Ghazaleh Golbakhsh 

A revelatory book of essays by from the New Zealand-Iranian author 

The Girl from Revolution Road features a series of evocative essays by 

Ghazaleh Golbakhsh, a first-generation Iranian immigrant in New Zealand. 

The stories explore homeland, ethnicity and identity — and range from her 

childhood in war-torn Iran to making friends in the suburbs of Auckland. 

Ghazaleh, who is also a filmmaker and Fullbright scholar, brings her stories to 

life through humour and a fresh honesty. 

Dark Side of the Brain 

by lance Burdett 

Lance Burdett started writing this book while he was studying for a diploma in 

positive psychology, then something tragic happened - his seventeen-year-old 

niece took her own life. From that point on, his world was irreparably changed. 

This loss proved to him that adversity can hit anyone at any time, often 

unexpectedly. The loss of his niece, combined with Lance’s own experience of 

depression spurred him on to share the lessons he’s learned about how the 

brain works, knowledge which he’s gathered throughout his years both as a 

police negotiator and later as a resilience and wellness specialist. In this book, 

he explains how to control your thoughts, how to reduce the impact of negative 

emotions, and how to manage your personal wellbeing so that you won’t ‘fall 

over’ as he once did. He will also show readers how to identify when somebody 

else may be struggling with negative thoughts and how to reach out to them in a 

way that’s safe for both of you.

Labour’s recovery plan – ‘it’s 

already happening’ 

People can have confidence in 

Labour’s recovery plan because 

it is already being implemented, 

says Hon Poto Williams, MP for 

Christchurch East. 

“It’s different from the promises that 

political parties sometimes make at 

election time because the public can 

see that it’s actually happening,” says 

Poto Williams. 

The Labour-led Government did 

not waste time when COVID-19 

struck, Poto Williams explained. 

The Government immediately 

announced a wage subsidy. That 

kept bread on the table for workers, 

and won the praise of employers 

because it kept their businesses 

alive. 

That was the first part of the 

plan. The next part came in the 

Budget in May – an allocation of 

$3b (that’s 3000 million dollars) 

on infrastructure projects that 

could be implemented quickly, the 

Poto Williams: “Jobs, jobs, jobs.” 

‘shovel-ready’ projects. Economists 

estimate that these projects will 

deliver 20,000 jobs. 

Canterbury’s share is $300m. 

Many of the projects are standard 

infrastructure projects such as 

upgrades to the water supply 

systems that local councils manage. 

Other projects are ‘social’ 

infrastructure. These include three 

Christchurch projects: patient 

accommodation and facilities 

for the Cancer Society, patient 

accommodation for the Bone 

Marrow Cancer Trust, and a new 

complex for the Youth Health Trust. 

These projects, costing $22m in 

total, are expected to create more 

than 500 jobs. 

A package of smaller projects has 

been planned for the New Brighton 

area. (See page 2 for details.) 

All the projects have been selected 

on the basis that they are planned 

and ready-to-go. 

Poto Williams does not gloss over 

the pain many are experiencing. 

She says she is very much aware of 

the impact of COVID-19 on travel, 

tourism and hospitality. 

“I feel deeply for the workers who 

have lost their jobs and the business 

owners struggling to survive,” she 

says. 

Asked to summarise Labour’s 

recovery plan in three words, she 

says it’s “Jobs, jobs, jobs.” 

“I am thankful” 

At a street corner meeting, Poto 

met a man who came from 

Mexico. He is now a citizen and 

voting for the first time. Poto 

asked how his people were ‘back 

home’. 

“They are suffering terribly,” 

he said. “I am thankful that we 

live in a country that has the 

resources to care for its people.” 

A reminder that we should all 

be thankful for Aotearoa New 

Zealand.

Collective recovery for New Brighton - 

$7,000,000 for local projects 

On 27 July, Hon Poto Williams, in her role as Associate Minister for Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration, announced the New Brighton Collective Infrastructure Project 

Within the collective there are nine separate projects. Several are to upgrade 

existing facilities, some are to replace earthquake-damaged buildings, some 

are to complete projects stalled by funding shortfalls, and others are new 

ventures. 

The nine projects are: 

• New Brighton Rugby Club – redevelopment of clubrooms for wider 

community use (‘Eastern Hub’). 

• Softball diamond and improved drainage of rugby grounds - 

Rawhiti Domain. 

• New Brighton Surf Club – replacement of old, earthquake damaged 

buildings. 

• South Brighton Surf Club – replacement of damaged, out-dated club 

house. 

• Waka Ama – improved facilities at Lower Avon base. 

All of the clubs involved are committed to making their new facilities 

available for other community groups to use. 

• All-weather netball and tennis courts – Rawhiti Domain. 

• Native bird sanctuary and woodland play space – Rawhiti Domain. 

• South Brighton Tennis Club – upgrade of courts and clubrooms. 

• The Bridge Hub, South Brighton – completion of community centre. 

Builder explains project at South Brighton Surf Club 

Where the idea 

came from 

Reconstruction work at The Bridge Hub 

“One morning I was jogging past 

the New Brighton Surf Club, the 

Rugby Club, and through the 

Rawhiti Domain,” Poto says. “I 

realised how each group is working 

to provide social opportunities for 

our children and to revitalise critical 

community facilities. I saw how we 

could combine these groups under 

the New Brighton Collective and 

provide valuable community assets 

for the future, creating jobs in the 

process. The idea took on and other 

groups joined in. 

I had been frustrated by the slow, 

sporadic recovery of the eastern 

suburbs. This funding is a real 

boost.” 

Poto Williams 





Rawhiti – children play near canopy of partly built all-weather courts. 

New Brighton Rugby Clubrooms – the new ‘Eastern Hub’ 

To the people of 

Christchurch East 

Thank you for everything you have 

done to help us through this very 

hard time. I know that for some of 

you it has cost a lot. Jacinda often 

reminded us that we were a team of 

5 million. You all played your part 

and I am grateful to you. 

I hope you felt supported by your 

Government and by me, your MP. 

We supported a lot of people with 

the wage subsidy and help for small 

business. We doubled the winter 

energy payment and we supported 

groups that were providing food 

and other essentials to those who 

were finding it tough. 

It’s easy to forget what we achieved 

before Covid-19 hit us. There’s a lot 

to celebrate. The Families Package 

put an extra $75 a week into the 

pockets of 384,000 families, Best 

Start gave the families of new-borns 

an extra $60 a week. We indexed 

benefits to inflation and increased 

the main benefit by $25 a week. 

We increased the minimum wage 

to $18.90 and recently announced 

the living Wage of $22.10 for all 

government-contracted staff. 

We passed the Carbon Zero Act, cut 

school fees and built 2800 public 

rental homes – an average of 18 a 

week. But there is still a lot to do. 

It’s been a privilege to be your MP 

and to serve in a Government led by 

Jacinda Ardern. I hope I can count 

on your support at this election, 

and I hope you will give your party 

vote to Labour to enable Jacinda to 

continue to lead this country.
