community 

facility 

rebuilt in 

Shirley 

• By Bea Gooding 

RESIDENTS ARE calling for the 

revival of Shirley Community 

Centre after the area has been 

left without a facility for nearly a 

decade. 

This comes after the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board sought 

ideas for the future use of the 

former community centre site at 

10 Shirley Rd. 

Due to the city council’s financial 

restraints, it was unlikely that 

funding would be available in the 

short-term for permanent options. 

However, the community board 

was still keen to see the space utilised 

in the meantime, while they 

advocated for funding through 

the 2021-2031 Long Term Plan 

process. 

In September, a questionnaire 

was delivered to about 800 properties 

within the site’s vicinity, 

which asked residents whether 

they currently used the site, how 

they would like to use it, and how 

the city council can make the 

most of what was already there.

Leash dogs on beach 

DOG OWNERS are being 

reminded that beaches are 

off-limits to unleashed dogs on 

summer days. 

“We know many people enjoy 

playing with their dogs at the 

beach and they can still do that, 

but they need to steer clear of the 

main swimming areas or go early 

in the morning or in the evening,’’ 

city council animal services 

manager Mark Vincent said. 

“Between 9am and 7pm unleashed 

dogs are banned from 

specified areas of our swimming 

beaches because people who 

have come to the beach to have 

a splash in the sea or to make 

sandcastles with their kids don’t 

want lots of dog running around. 

“Although dogs are prohibited 

at these beaches between 9am 

and 7pm, dog owners can walk 

their dogs through these beaches 

as long as they are only passing 

through and they keep their dog 

on a short leash.” 

At Spencer Park, Waimairi, 

as well as North and South New 

Brighton beaches, dogs are 

prohibited for 100m either side 

of the surf lifesaving clubs’ 

pavilions. 

At New Brighton beach dogs 

are prohibited for a distance of a 

100m in a northerly direction of 

the surf lifesaving club’s pavilion 

RESPONSIBLE: Dogs are off-limits on parts of some 

beaches this summer unless they are on a lead. 

to a point 100m south of the pier. 

“We have a big coastline so 

there is still many kilometres 

of beach where dog owners can 

have fun with their pets over 

the summer. Just remember you 

need to keep your dog under effective 

control and clean up after 

them if needed,” Vincent said. 

The beaches where the daytime 

ban applies include the 

beach at Cass Bay, Corsair Bay, 

Sandy Bay, Paradise Bay, Hays 

Bay, Diamond Harbour, 

Purau, Akaroa, French Farm, 

Le Bons Bay, Little Akaloa, 

Okains Bay, Port Levy and Tikao 

Bay. At Sumner beach dogs 

are prohibited for a distance 

of 100m north of the Sumner 

Surf Lifesaving Club’s pavilion 

through to Cave Rock. 

At Taylor’s Mistake beach dogs 

are prohibited for a distance 

of 50m either side of the surf 

lifesaving club pavilion. 

Funding options sought 

• From page 1 

The city council received 58 

submissions regarding the matter. 

Shirley Recreational Walkers 

leader Sue Lang wants to see the 

centre reinstated and feared it 

might not happen after the rebuild 

was deferred for a number 

of years. 

“I would like to see the Shirley 

Community Centre reinstated 

back at this site as we were led 

to believe it would be happening 

back in 2017,” Lang said in her 

submission. 

“It is on a great bus route and 

was used by many groups both 

day and night. Other areas have 

had their community centres rebuilt, 

but not Shirley. Why?” 

Prior to the September 4, 2010, 

and February 22, 2011, earthquakes, 

the well-established centre 

was used by many community 

groups to host workshops, 

classes and fun activities. 

Due to the building’s damage 

caused by the earthquakes, the 

facility was demolished in 2012 

and has not been replaced since, 

in spite of the area’s growing 

population. 

While re-development options 

were being explored, a temporary 

pump track and a table tennis facility 

were recently installed after 

a young member of the community 

had an idea to temporarily 

utilise the space. 

Mairehau resident Joanne 

Byrne used to use the former 

community centre and lives less 

than 1km away from the site. 

“We don’t need nor want 

temporary activities, we want a 

community centre,” she said. 

“I would like to see a community 

hub – a combined library 

and community centre with 

additional community facilities, 

like a permanent pump track and 

bathrooms for all to use.” 

But Richmond Residents and 

Business Association president 

Vicki Brown disagreed with a 

need to rebuild the centre. 

“We don’t need a community 

centre built back here, Shirley are 

having great success with their 

facility in MacFarlane Park,” she 

said. 

“We would like to see more 

recreational items added with 

more updated play equipment, 

and an opportunity to grow the 

community garden.” 

Other suggestions being floated 

around included adding communal 

barbecues, a food forest 

for foraging, and keeping it as 

an open space for planting and 

walking. 

The community board was 

currently looking at alternative 

funding options and possible 

partnerships with organisations.

Community fair with charitable twist 

A COMMUNITY fair with a 

charitable twist is set to give 

residents the chance to give back 

this weekend. 

Windsorcare is hosting a 

fair extravaganza at its Shirley 

premises on Saturday, at 1pm, 

with funds raised going toward’s 

the charitable trust’s activities. 

General manager Dr Warren 

Smith said the money raised will 

help pay for outings for their 

residents who are not able to 

afford it. 

“The money raised will go 

towards activities and outings for 

our residents,” Dr Smith said. 

“Every month the men get 

to go on an outing and the 

women like to do something 

different, the men love to go 

to a workingmen’s club for 

lunch and a pint, the ladies also 

love lunching but probably to 

somewhere like Orana Park or 

lovely gardens.” 

Social connectedness is vital to 

residents well-being and mental 

health and is something Windsorcare 

is very focused on, he said. 

Other benefits of these social 

outings include lowering the 

risk of dementia and promoting 

a sense of safety, belonging and 

security. 

Windsorcare is a charitable 

trust dedicated to providing a 

safe, caring environment, while 

respecting the uniqueness and 

supporting the abilities of each 

individual. 

The trust has been caring for 

the community since 1959. This 

time last year it held its 60th anniversary 

celebrations. 

Accommodation and care is 

provided for those aged 65 and 

over. There are 49 independent 

living cottages, and a further 

eight brand new architecturallydesigned 

villas ready to move 

into for Christmas 2020. 

Windsorcare provides care for 

life, meaning, should the need 

arise to move into rest home, 

hospital or dementia care, with 

the peace of mind knowing 

that the very best level of care

GREAT NEW READS INSTORE 

A Promised Land 

by Barack Obama 

In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, 

Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man 

searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly 

personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of 

the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation 

and turmoil. Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest 

political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated 

the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 

2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming 

the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. Reflecting on the 

presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome 

reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the 

dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. 

Mark Skaife 

The complete illustrated autobiography of one of Australia’s most 

successful touring car drivers ever 

This is a portrait of a racing legend featuring photos from Mark’s 

private collection, plus toasts and roasts from the racing people who 

know him the best. 

For more than three decades across the Holden Racing Team’s 

golden era, Skaife was the chosen one. Imposing, sometimes 

polarising and always revered, his legend is immeasurable and he 

remains a pillar of Australian motorsport as a media ambassador 

and presenter. 

I’m in a United State 

by Paul Henry 

Paul Henry reflects on his life and times in this homage to the 

land of the slightly shabby stars and stripes. Despite his best 

intentions, Paul Henry has written his third book. It’s a charming 

and eccentric ramble through the United States and back to New 

Zealand during the Covid-19 pandemic. There are two weddings, 

an election, a new TV show and his love affair with Palm Springs, 

sad desert motels, road trips and other passions. A fascinating 

window into the intriguing world of Paul Henry. ‘I love the USA. 

And in this book, in real time, over the first six months of 2020, 

I chronicle my thoughts and actions and draw from my past to 

try and work out why. I’m brutally honest and clearly disturbed, 

magnificently so! I literally don’t care what people think. You will 

be surprised. This is me, now . . . You’re welcome.’ Paul Henry 

60 Years Of Coronation Street 

by ITV Ventures Limited & Abigail Kemp 

Celebrating 60 years since the show’s creation, this book is an 

exhaustive, compelling and entertaining history packed full of features 

and long-forgotten imagery. Everything you need to know about 

Britain’s longest running and most popular soap is found here in this 

impressive book. 

Bella My Life in Food by Annabel Langbein 

For the first time, Annabel Langbein, New Zealand’s most popular cookbook 

author, writes about her remarkable life and how food has shaped it, 

highlighting some of the recipes that have resonated most strongly with her 

over the years. From her childhood fascination with cooking to a teenage 

flirtation as a Maoist hippie, to possum trapping and living off the land as 

a hunter and forager, to travelling and starting her own croissant business 

in Brazil, Annabel’s life has always been centred on food and nature. Out of 

this came an obsession with creating cookbooks, introducing a generation 

of cooks to her simple recipes for delicious, stylish meals. Annabel 

has lived a huge and varied life, and she writes vividly about her many 

adventures. From throughout this rich life in food she has chosen 60 key 

recipes, created with her signature style and flair that make cooking easy 

for everyone, sharing them in this beautifully photographed book.

tRUStS ACt 2019 – 

timE tO ACt 

The Trusts Act 2019 comes 

into effect on 30th January 

2021. The 18 month delay 

from when the Act was passed 

to allow time for settlors, 

trustees and advisors to 

familiarise themselves with the 

changes and requirements and 

review their trust is nearly up. 

If you have not already started 

your review then put it on your 

reading list for this summer. 

EXERCiSE thE minD 

While there are many new 

living provisions in the new Act, 

life the main ones that will be all. It is time to now locate and 

gather these deeds and records. 

SUDOKU - EASY SUDOKU - mEDiUm 

of interest to trustees are the 

setting out of the mandatory 

and default duties of trustees, 

the core documents to be 

held by trustees and the 

information that is required to 

be provided to beneficiaries. 

Trustees are required to know 

the terms of the trust and act 

honestly and in good faith in 

accordance with the terms 

and to be actively involved 

with the management of the 

trust. While this was always 

expected, it was not set out in 

the legislation before and so 

possibly not well understood 

by people when they agreed to 

become a trustee on a trust. 

All trustees must hold 

copies of the core trust 

documents, the trust deed 

and any variations made to 

the trust deed, and at least 

one trustee must hold all the 

trust documents, including 

records of assets, minutes 

and financial records. For 

some existing trusts those 

documents might be missing, 

spread across several lawyers 

and accountants, or not exist at 

The new Act includes a 

presumption that basic trust 

information (the fact that they 

are a beneficiary and who the 

trustees are) must be made 

available to every beneficiary. 

Beneficiaries are also to be 

made aware that they are 

able to request additional 

trust information. This may 

possibly pose the biggest 

challenge for many settlors 

and trustees. However this 

presumption as to the supply 

of information is qualified by 

certain considerations that 

trustees may take account of 

in deciding what, if any, information to 

provide. 

Many family trusts were set up with a 

wide class of beneficiaries including 

the nieces and nephews and partners of 

beneficiaries in addition to the settlors 

and their children and grandchildren. It 

may never have been intended that most 

of these beneficiaries would ever receive 

a benefit under the trust but they were 

tURn pAgE fOR SOlUtiOnS 

included as possible recipients. If your 

trust deed allows a change to beneficiaries 

this should be included in your review 

now. 

At Harmans we have a team with 

specialist knowledge available to provide 

you with legal advice about your trust. 

You can contact Phillipa Shaw at 

Harmans on 03 352 2293 to arrange an 

appointment to discuss this.

LeMons and a 

touCh of ItaLIan 

InfLuenCe 

C ommunity inf luencer 

Ali McGregor has rolled her passions for Italy 

and lemons into her business, Ali’s Lemons. Her 

love for creating delectable recipes of lemon based 

desserts, liquor, and curds have patrons around the 

country enjoying her products. 

A Cantabrian local, Ali has a diversified 

background, which enhances her love for being in 

the kitchen and creating lemon masterpieces. 

we asked ali about her 

background and where her love 

for lemons came from? 

Growing up on a Wairarapa farm, the kitchen of 

Ali’s family home was the hub of the farm and the 

home, the place where family, friends, visitors, and 

workers all gathered and shared food together. 

Meals were prepared from produce grown on the 

farm. 

Morning and afternoon teas have always been 

symbols of country hospitality. On the farm, 

an array of freshly made treats along with iced 

cakes and biscuits from the twenty-plus regularly 

replenished cake tins, welcomed all visitors. 

Ali learned how to cook by osmosis: by 

watching and helping, and as she became more 

accomplished and confident, making the timetested 

recipes handed down from generation to 

generation. For Ali, food and friendship continue 

to be intertwined: preparing delicious food to 

share gives great satisfaction. Consequently, she 

made a career shift to include teaching food and 

nutrition as well as English. 

A life-long fascination with Italy has grown from 

singing Italian opera and enjoying Italian art and 

architecture. She learned the language and many 

Italian cities including Italy to Venice, Rome, 

Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, Le Marche, the Cinque 

Terre. 

Against this background, the devastating 

Christchurch earthquakes of 2011 that forced 

many to re-evaluate their lives, were also the 

catalyst for Ali to establish Ali’s Lemons. Her range 

of products draws on her experiences, and belief 

that food sustains not only the body and soul but is 

also a celebration of life and love. 

Ingredients are everything 

Locally sourced ingredients including organic, 

Yen Ben lemons are the foundation product which 

offers the sharp, tart flavour. Yen Ben are a true 

lemon, unlike the much sweeter Meyer lemon 

which is the most prolific lemon grown in the 

Canterbury region. 

Free range eggs are used in the curds and saffron 

from Wynyard Estate which uses the international 

standard of quality and is premium grade 1. 

Green Bee Honeydew is used in both the Lemon 

Honeydew Reviver and the Lemon Caramelised 

Onion. 

how do you spend your down 

time? 

I love music, particularly classical and opera, has 

been a passion all my life. I studied singing at 

Victoria University and then moved to Auckland 

to study with Dame Sister Mary Leo and then was 

a singer and I still love to sing. 

I love reading and belong to a book group, 

working in my working and travelling. 

what is your earliest memory of 

lemons ? 

Growing up on the farm in the Wairarapa, there 

was an enormous lemon tree which grew right 

up against my bedroom window and on warm 

evenings the delicious perfume of the waxy 

blossoms filled my room, perhaps this was the 

beginning of my love affair with lemons !

Biotech is improving everyday life without 

most Kiwis realising, a new BioTechNZ 

research report says. 

The landmark BioTechNZ study analysed 

the state of biotechnology and its impact and 

benefits for the New Zealand economy and 

society. 

BioTechNZ is a member of the NZTech 

Alliance, which brings together 20 technology 

associations with more than 1500 member 

organisations who employ more than 10 

percent of the workforce, who are working to 

help create a more prosperous New Zealand 

underpinned by technology. 

NZTech chief executive Graeme Muller says 

the report, due for public release this month, 

captures the major impact that biotechnology 

is quietly having on all Kiwis. 

“Biotechnology is being applied in New 

Zealand to reduce waste, create vaccines, 

develop healthier food and more efficient 

crops,” Muller says. 

“One of New Zealand’s largest companies used 

biotechnology to develop milk with the A2 

protein only, to help people who have trouble 

drinking regular cow’s milk. 

“Another growing New Zealand success story 

is a company that uses biotechnology processes 

to extract gold and other precious metals from 

electronic waste. 

“While Kiwi families are concerned about 

the enormous use of petroleum products 

for energy, new plastics are coming into the 

home, made with corn and other plants, not 

petroleum, via a biotechnology processes. 

“Biotechnology is also being applied in 

more direct ways to environmental cleanup. 

A process called bioremediation uses 

microorganisms to reduce, eliminate, or 

contain contaminants in the soil or other 

environments. 

“As obesity rates climb to epidemic levels, 

biotechnology is helping to create a new 

generation of healthier plant-based oils. These 

oils are free of the trans fats that can raise 

cholesterol and contribute to heart disease. 

Soybeans, corn, cotton and canola have 

been enhanced to resist insects, herbicides 

and drought conditions, allowing farmers to 

increase productivity. 

“New Zealand scientists have developed grasses 

that reduce methane emissions from livestock, 

which will help reduce greenhouse gases. 

“Tomorrow, biotechnology will bring better 

health and treatments for disease that will 

produce all kinds of medical products for New 

Zealanders. 

“There are a growing number of global 

opportunities for biotech and New Zealand’s 

strengths allow scientists and companies to 

identify global niche opportunities, particularly 

in the animal sciences, horticulture, marine 

and biomedical industries.”

Start a new 

Christmas tradition 

What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories 

in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community. 

10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year 

1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of 

your favourite carols and songs – play it 

loud and every day, if that’s your thing. 

Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along 

evening – don’t forget to supply the song 

sheet so everyone can join in too. 

2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting 

together with family or friends to help 

decorate each other’s houses – turn up 

the music, drink the wine and go all out 

to deck the halls. 

3. Make and send homemade Christmas 

cards – there’s nothing more exciting 

than getting mail, right? Or how about 

writing some generic ones and dropping 

them into your nearest retirement 

home to brighten up an elderly person’s 

Christmas. 

4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or 

Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t 

forget to take a family selfie. 

5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap 

it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest 

community gift tree – check with your 

local library and label with age and 

gender. 

6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour 

outdoor games night with drinks and 

nibbles leading up to the big day – think 

Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess, 

or croquet. 

7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional 

‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood, 

and give a book as a gift on Christmas 

Eve each year – don’t forget to write 

inside the cover who it’s from and the 

date. 

8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies 

to watch a week before Christmas day 

and tick off the ones you’ve watched. 

Don’t forget the popcorn and hot 

chocolate or nibbles and wine. 

9. Make and give a handmade ornament 

as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s 

Christmas tree will be covered with 

beautiful, handmade memories. 

10. Make homemade hot chocolate on 

Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning 

to drink while the presents are being 

opened – decorate with whipped cream, 

grated chocolate, marshmallows, or 

crushed candy canes. 

Give a Christmas 

gift to remember! 

With summer on the way there’s 

never been a better excuse to take 

a break and head to Hanmer Springs.

Rāwhiti School celebrated the opening of its new playground recently. The project was jointly funded by the 

school’s PTA and board of trustees with community fundraising events held over the past few years. The name 

given to the new revamped play space is Hikihiki, which encapsulates the concept of excitement and being 

lifted up or elevated. The area provides children with opportunities to play with others and challenge themselves. 

Rāwhiti School will now choose another area of their grounds to re-develop next year.

PEGASUS POST 

Discover Wirihana’s school for boys 

The New Brighton 

Museum has a rich 

history spanning more 

than 100 years. Peggy 

Butterfield writes 

monthly about a 

historical display at the 

heritage museum 

IN 1890, William Wilson bought 

14 acres and six perches of land 

and built a large house on the 

corner of what is now Rowan 

Ave and Rowses Rd. 

The Maori name for Wilson 

is Wirihana, and Wilson was 

referred to as Wirihana Wilson. 

The house and property were 

also known to the community as 

Wirihana and the tram stop and 

loop on Pages Rd near to Rowan 

Ave was known as the Wirihana 

loop. 

Wilson then turned the large 

house into a school for boys. 

The area had “hundreds 

of acres of scrubland, pine 

plantations, sandhills and a fine 

sea beach”, an ideal area for boys 

to grow. 

There were paddocks with 

lupins and gorse. The school kept 

a cow. 

The late Stuart Rutherford, 

when a pupil there, milked the 

cow for a shilling a week. 

And there was a large 

greenhouse. The tomatoes in 

his greenhouse loomed large in 

several ex-pupils’ memories. A 

punishment for poor work or 

being late might be to prune the 

tomatoes with Wilson. 

The diet seemed to be almost 

entirely composed of tomatoes. 

To do Mrs Wilson justice, others 

record that the food was actually 

very good, although those of her 

grandchildren who remember 

her in her old age in England 

cannot recall signs of the gentler 

domestic virtues. 

She seemed severe, 

authoritarian, and demanding of 

perfection. 

But grandson David Wilson’s 

earliest recollection of her was a 

woman dressed severely in black, 

taking a fancy to him at the age 

of about two, which would be 

in 1930, and pronouncing that 

the boy should have the NZ 

HISTORY: Check out the historical display at the New 

Brighton Museum on Hardy St. 

chair which she had carved – 

beautifully. 

The school was known as 

Wirihana, but everyone still 

called it Wilson’s school. 

However, one effect of the 

change in name was to get the 

pupils to call William Wilson, 

behind his back “Wearie Willie.” 

But he was also affectionately 

called “Professor” Wilson by his 

neighbours. 

He was described variously as 

genial, understanding, calling 

the boys by their nicknames, a 

great story-teller, with yarns that 

he would serialise to keep up 

interest. But he was also a great 

disciplinarian. 

Several times each week he 

would walk 20 or 30 of the pupils 

into New Brighton after school, 

where they would spend an hour 

or two in the shops or on the 

beach. 

The boys were described as 

exceptionally well-mannered, 

walking along in double file. 

Mrs Wilson was in charge of 

the house and the dormitories. 

Punishment from her could be 

six of the best with the cane. But 

the boys still had fun. 

But in 1927, when William 

was 75, they retired, closing the 

school and giving a pension to 

the one remaining long-service 

teacher. 

The large 14-room house and 

5.5 acres of land were purchased 

by the late James Finnerty. 

Later it was divided into flats, 

sold, subdivided again, and the 

land developed.

CALLS HAVE been made to 

stop rates increases in response 

to the Covid-19 crisis. 

City councillors James Gough, 

Sam MacDonald, Catherine 

Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown 

and James Daniels have sent a 

letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

asking her to lead a conversation 

as to how a zero per cent rates 

increase could be achieved this 

year. 

The city council is proposing 

an average rates increase of 4.65 

per cent across all ratepayers in 

this year’s Draft Annual Plan 

which is currently under public 

consultation until April 5 and
