Greening 

the east, 

youth – 

priorities 

for board 

• By Samantha Mythen 

ENVIRONMENT and youth – 

these are the top priorities for 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board in the coming 

months. 

This includes a focus on 

continued greening of the east 

and contributing to a ball in 

Linwood for youth who missed 

out on major events last year. 

But its number one priority for 

the beginning of 2021 is finding a 

deputy chair. 

“We are looking for someone 

who has the time and drive 

to take this position on,” said 

chairwoman Alexandra Davids. 

The search for a full board 

comes after Davids survived a 

leadership coup late last year 

by five fellow board members 

representing themselves as the 

Labour-aligned People’s Choice. 

Davids was first elected to 

the board in 2013 and since 

April 2019, she had worked as 

chairwoman. This was after the 

resignation of Sally Buck, one of 

Christchurch’s longest-serving 

elected members. • Turn to page 5

Defibrillators gifted to housing complexes 

SAFETY: (From left to right) – Charlotte Shaw and Heather McGowan of ASB, OCHT’s 

James Hadlee and Michelle Ormsby-Brett and Alice Earnshaw-Morris of St John, at the 

handover of the defibrillators. 

TWO COMMUNITY housing 

complexes have been gifted 

automated external defibrillators 

in a bid to reduce the number of 

deaths from cardiac arrest. 

The life-saving devices were 

presented to the Ōtautahi Community 

Housing Trust by ASB 

and St John. 

The St John Christchurch area 

committee has donated outdoor 

cabinets for the AEDs, which 

will be installed at Reg Stillwell 

Place in North Brighton and 

and Bridgewater Courts, South 

Brighton, community housing 

complexes. 

The area committee has previously 

placed four AEDs and 

cabinets in OCHT communities. 

Ōtautahi Community Housing 

Trust said it was thrilled to be 

able to house the lifesaving devices, 

which will be available for 

the surrounding communities. 

“There are fewer AEDS in East 

Christchurch than many other 

parts of the city, and the donations 

are a fantastic addition," 

OCHT tenancy relations manager 

James Hadlee said. 

“There have been occasions 

when tenants have performed 

CPR to save lives. Last year's 

OCHT Housing Heroes Award 

was won by a Pickering Courts 

(St Albans) resident who responded 

to a neighbour's calls 

for help. 

“He heard his neighbour 

upstairs yelling for help and 

when he arrived, he found him 

on the ground looking blue with 

no pulse. He started CPR and 

continued compressions until 

paramedics arrived.’’ 

Findings from St John's out 

of hospital cardiac arrest report, 

released in March last year, 

reveal that five people a day are 

treated by ambulance officers for 

a cardiac arrest. 

People in low income and rural 

areas are not only twice as likely 

to suffer a cardiac arrest but have 

considerably fewer public AEDs 

available. 

Compared to Europeans, 

Pacific Island and Māori 

communities have a 

disproportionally higher 

incidence of out of hospital 

cardiac arrest associated with 

risk factors such as deprivation, a 

St John spokesman said. 

“Studies by St John have 

revealed that every minute that 

goes by without CPR or defibrillation 

reduces the chance of 

survival by 10-15 per cent, with 

only about 13 per cent surviving 

a cardiac arrest. 

“We know that this survival 

rate can be doubled by people 

taking three easy steps; calling 

111 for an ambulance, starting 

CPR immediately and using the 

nearest AED,’’ St John clinical 

adviser – Hauora Māori Michelle 

Brett said. 

“Having an AED accessible in 

a community housing complex 

where many people frequent, 

means lives can be saved.’’ 

ASB head of community and 

sponsorship Mark Graham said 

they have been supporting St 

John with their mission to get 

more AED's into communities. 

“We have AEDs in all of our 

branches and have had to use 

them a number of times, so we 

know how critical they can be 

in an emergency when every 

minute counts. Having this 

AED will hopefully make a big 

difference when it's needed 

most.’’ – NZ Herald

PEGASUS POST 

Former police officer continues to keep 

SAFETY: Canterbury Neighbourhood Support manager and 

former police officer, Murray McGusty, has responded to 

some of the city’s most devastating disasters in the last two 

decades. 


• By Bea Gooding 

SUPPORTING communities 

through Covid-19 isn’t Murray 

McGusty’s first rodeo, and it 

most certainly won’t be his last. 

The former police officer of 

23 years became manager of 

Canterbury Neighbourhood 

Support at the end of 2019, just 

as the world was coming to grips 

with the pandemic. 

Having responded to some 

of the city’s most significant 

disasters – two earthquakes, the 

Port Hills fires, and the mosque 

attacks – he brought a wealth of 

experience to the table. 

The tumultuous events of 

last year were far from what he 

expected but he was looking 

forward to some normality. 

Said McGusty: “Last year was 

a bit of a muddle, I’m hoping 

this year isn’t going be as such 

so I can re-focus on getting back 

to the basics, to get out there, 

meet new people, and get back 

to normality as much as possible.” 

CNS establishes and provides 

support to neighbourhood 

support groups across the city, 

making communities safer 

through crime prevention work, 

emergency preparedness and 

well-being. 

Being a part of the non-profit 

trust ensures residents are looking 

out for their neighbours, 

who work together to report 

suspicious behaviour, and therefore 

reducing crime. 

If residents are familiar with 

their neighbours, resources can 

be spread more quickly during 

times of great need. 

“I do believe communities 

that are connected and work 

together are stronger and more 

able to deal with what comes 

along, whether it’s an earthquake 

or a flood,” said McGusty. 

It was rewarding to witness 

others working hard to improve 

their neighbourhood, he said. 

He recalled a moment when 

residents saved a person’s life, 

thanks to the quick actions of 

fellow neighbours. 

“The people who noticed that 

their neighbour’s blinds were 

not open one morning found 

the occupant collapsed inside 

and called emergency services. 

The occupant had suffered a 

brain aneurysm. 

“The occupant is alive and 

well thanks to the actions of her 

neighbours.” 

Just before Christmas, he 

heard a story of an individual 

who wanted nothing to do with 

the neighbourhood support 

group on his street. 

But after an incident involving 

police, it was now a different 

story. 

“One day when he was out, 

neighbours noticed someone in 

his home. They called the police 

and a burglar was apprehended. 

“He now belongs to the street 

group,” he said. 

Working with neighbourhood 

support as a former police 

officer worked to his advantage, 

having his foot in both 

doors regarding contacts, 

and knowledge from past 

experiences. 

McGusty’s police journey 

began two decades ago when he 

became an officer in Christchurch, 

where he remained 

throughout his tenure, which 

included front line duties and 

enquiries. 

In his last five years with the 

police, he worked extensively 

with Phillipstown Neighbourhood 

Policing team on crime 

prevention before he became the 

CNS manager in 2019. 

It was something he always 

wanted to do, he said, making 

communities safer through the 

police and various groups. 

Although he was not born in 

Christchurch, he has lived here 

for a “long time,” working in the 

city for all of his police career.

communities safe 

Over time some of the 

messaging had mostly 

remained the same – cars 

and houses were still getting 

broken into as they were not 

secure and valuables were in 

clear view through windows. 

But a major difference today 

was the dangers of the internet, 

which proved to be a challenge. 

“Fraud, scams – that’s really 

taken off as it’s all electronic 

now, and they are getting 

clever,” McGusty said. 

The manager’s first year 

at CNS has been rocky, to

prevention in

year. • From page 1 

say the least. Like “all nonprofits,” 

they were facing 

financial challenges caused by 

Covid-19. 

But communities they support, 

especially some elderly 

people, were still isolated and 

struggling. 

“There’s still a reluctance, 

with older people it’s taken 

a while. They’re still very 

cautious about mingling and 

meeting new people.” 

When McGusty was not 

tramping or dabbling in a bit 

of horticulture, he was thinking 

ahead. 

His next steps included 

organising a crime prevention 

study, which examined 

different communities 

and whether they had 

neighbourhood support 

groups or not, and if this 

affected crime rates. 

“There isn’t much crime 

going on in an area with 

really strong neighbourhood 

support, but there will be 

other areas with no support 

groups, so I just wanted to do 

a comparison.” 

GARDEN AWARDS 

Judging for the city council’s 

Community Pride Garden Awards 

2021 in the Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

area has now started. The awards 

acknowledge those who have 

contributed to maintaining the 

Garden City image of Christchurch 

by beautifying their streets and 

gardens. No application is required, 

as judges view gardens from the 

street in participating community 

board areas. Gardens can be 

residential or commercial, with 

judging finishing on February 7, 

followed by the presentation of 

certificates at award ceremonies 

The People’s Choice members Jake 

McLellan, Yani Johanson, Michelle 

Lomax, Jackie Simons and Sunita 

Gautam faced public backlash for 

their calls that Davids step down. 

They eventually revoked their plans. 

Once a new deputy chair is found, 

focus will turn to the board’s longterm 

plan and setting priorities for 

the rest of the year. 

“There will be a continued focus on 

greening of the east. We have been 

pooling together plans from around 

the area,” she said. 

“We will be providing more seating 

as quick wins while we continue to 

look at the bigger picture of more 

in March and April. Judging for 

Christchurch Street and Gardens 

Awards will take place at the same 

time until February 17. 

INTERSECTION UPGRADE 

Work to improve safety at the 

Marshland, Lower Styx and Hawkins 

Rds intersection will start this 

week. Upgrades include widening 

the bridge over Styx River, the 

extension of Canal Reserve Drain 

culvert, installation of traffic signals 

and street lights, road widening 

and landscaping. Construction is 

expected to be completed by March 

next year and will be carried out in 

stages. 

Looking to make tangible changes 

native planting in the future.” 

The board will be contributing 

to a climate change workshop on 

February 24. 

“This will help us to decide on 

where we can best put our efforts to 

help make some positive tangible 

change,” she said. 

An exciting event for young 

people based in the Linwood and 

Ferrymead area is planned for March. 

The board has partnered with Youth 

and Cultural Development and the 

Eastgate Mall to host the Ball in the 

Mall high school event. 

The board is assisting with some 

of the financing and staffing of the 

event.

The challenges we have all faced in 2020 

have proved to us at the Christchurch School

as we came out of Level 2. “ I didn’t realise

chairs and stands between groups but it was 

all worth it just to have the chance to make 

music again. 

The Christchurch School of Music is 

a family-oriented community aimed at 

providing quality music education in 

and around Christchurch. We believe 

passionately in the power of music to 

promote well-being and joy in people’s 

lives and we constantly strive to ensure our 

kaupapa meets the needs of all the students 

in our care. 

On a Saturday morning the whole family 

can find something to suit. Preschool and 

junior school children can start their musical 

journey by joining in our “Take Off with 

Music” classes while older children and 

adults may opt for lessons on a specific 

instrument (including voice). Those who 

already play are welcome to join in one 

of the great ensembles which all take part 

in regular concerts. Our students enjoy 

ensembles in a wide range of genres from 

classical through to choral, jazz, rock and 

world music. 

Age is no limit - our Late Starters 

programme provides the opportunity for 

adults to learn an instrument and join an 

ensemble with other like-minded adults. 

If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also 

offers a range of weekday opportunities 

for learning and playing music and, if 

affordability is an issue, CSM may be able to 

offer a discount through funding provided 

by the Rata Foundation and CERT. 

Come and join us and start on a musical 

journey that will bring joy for a lifetime.

PEGASUS POST 

Failed promises led to prolonged dispute 

The New Brighton 

Museum has a rich history 

spanning more than 100 

years. Peggy Butterfield 

writes monthly about the 

historical display at the 

heritage museum 

CHARLOTTE Knight and 

her husband, John, arrived at 

Lyttelton on the Accrington in 

1863. 

By the 1880s the family was 

eking out a living as dairy farmers 

at Aranui between Bexley 

and Breezes Rds. 

The land was cheap, infertile 

and apt to be waterlogged in 

winter and a desert in summer. 

Charlotte gave birth to 24 

children, although several died, 

the rest thrived. 

The Knights bought shares 

in and ceded land to the New 

Brighton Tramway Company. 

The company built the first 

bridge at Seaview Rd and in 1887 

started a horse-drawn tram service 

from the city to the seaside. 

However, a dispute arose 

because the tramway company 

failed to build a promised roadway 

alongside the track, and 

keep the drains free. 

Charlotte arose to fight the 

tramway. She got some of her

sons to smash the gates which 

the company had built at either 

end of its property and locked at 

night. 

Her many children walked 

slowly on the tracks to hinder the 

tram’s progress, Charlotte would 

appear at night armed with gorse 

sticks and the outside passengers 

would dive for cover. 

Even a pitchfork was used on 

one occasion. 

Of course, this behaviour 

ended in many appearances 

in the Magistrates Court, with 

newspapers reporting the whole 

dispute in full. 

The public’s sympathy went 

with Charlotte. The newspapers 

described Charlotte as of “imposing 

stature and formidable 

proportions … with a deerstalker 

hat … and Amazonian tread.” 

Charlotte could not afford the 

fines imposed upon her, and the 

court bailiff seized her horse and 

cart, with Charlotte and a good 

number of children in the cart. 

She refused to move. 

Consequently, the horse was 

taken out, and the cart drawn 

around Oxford Tce in the middle 

of the day with her sitting in it. 

Charlotte was subjected to 

being made the laughing stock 

of hundreds of people who witnessed 

the scene. 

Charlotte died in 1907, a 

fighter to the end. 

This story appears in full in 

Richard Greenaway’s delightful 

book Unsung Heroines. The book 

is available to read in the New 

Brighton Museum Library.

Papanui High School - Preparing 

students for their future 

“Our aim is simple... to provide the best 

education possible for every student. 

Giving students the opportunity to study 

from an innovative and broad curriculum 

is critical to providing each student a 

pathway that meets their individual 

needs. We allow for a greater range and 

flexibility in subject choice including 

the utilization of the secondary/ 

tertiary interface. This reinforces 

the philosophy underpinning 

personalised learning and 

is strongly supported 

by understanding our 

students’ interests, 

passions, talents, 

and ultimately their 

career aspirations. 

We understand 

that for effective 

learning to take 

place, it has to 

be implemented 

in such a way that 

students will be highly 

engaged. The school 

does this in a ‘forward 

thinking’ way by creating learning 

environments that allow our students 

to see value in what they do and 

achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what we 

represent and we demonstrate this by 

having young adults leave our school 

as confident learners who have gained 

the appropriate qualifications and social 

skills to become valued contributing 

members of society. 

All that we do here is reinforced by 

positive relationships, an ethos of caring, 

cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and 

high expectations – what we call “Our 

Full service Model”. The school highly 

values the connectedness of curricular 

and co-curricular learning. 

We have a philosophical 

understanding that the 

holistic development 

of the student is 

critical to their 

individual success. 

The school has 

worked hard 

to consolidate 

recent initiatives to 

ensure sustained and 

continuous improvement. 

You are invited to view our 

website, school charter, ERO

Hornby High School community, and a 

special welcome to those of you who 

are new to our community. 

Welcome to Hornby High School where 

our vision is to be a ‘centre of creative 

excellence he puna auaha’. That means 

we endeavour to foster creativity in 

everything we do: sports and science, 

governance and teaching. To do that we 

seek to equip students with the tools 

they need to be creative, critical thinkers. 

Our school whakatauki says: 

Mā te huruhuru, ka rere te manu 

‘Feathers enable the bird to fly’ 

Optimism is one of those qualities 

that some have more than others. As 

educators we always begin each year 

with that sense of optimism about 

what the year, the students, and the 

community, will bring. For us that 

optimism is grounded in what we have 

experienced the year before, and our 

plans for the year to come which reflect 

those things that we can control. 

For Hornby High School that sense of 

optimism is well founded. Despite the 

global events of 2020 we have pushed 

for and experienced student success 

as we have evolved our curriculum and 

teacher practice to match the beautiful 

buildings and facilities that we now use. 

The new year will see us with 

significantly improved sporting facilities 

which are bound to be well used on 

the back of the wonderful sporting 

successes our students and their teams 

achieved in 2020. Our main playing 

fields will benefit from the newly 

installed underground irrigation and the 

resurfacing, and our all weather sports 

turf will support quality practice and 

performance for all ages. 

And then there is the ongoing focus on 

cultural and academic achievement 

which continues to see students take 

their place amongst the best. Join us in 

our extraordinary journey.

Opening of Fourvière Block 

at Catholic Cathedral 

College 

In October 2020 the community 

of Catholic Cathedral College 

gathered in the morning for 

the blessing of our new admin 

and classroom block, named 

“Fourvière” because of the historic 

connection of the Chapel in Lyon, 

France, with both our founding 

orders, the Sisters of Our Lady 

of the Missions, and the Marist 

Brothers. 

The opening began with an 

address from Matua Russ Caldwell, 

representing Tuahiwi and Ngāi 

Tahu, before Bishop Paul delivered 

the Rite of Blessing. The cultural 

diversity of Catholic Cathedral 

was reflected in the groups

our visitors, and our Pasifika and

as the Bishop moved throughout 

the eight new classrooms, blessing 

them and a unique cross that was 

designed for each teaching space. 

As a community we are very 

grateful for our blessings, and for 

this excellent new facility provided 

by Bishop Paul. The ground floor 

is reception and administration,

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 

will be finalised before July 1. 

The 2018-2028 Long Term 

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent 

rates increase over 10 years. 

Said Cr MacDonald: “In 

the current environment it’s 

clear business as usual is not 

appropriate and the council 

needs to look at how we enable 

this 12-month rates increase

the economic confidence of our 

city.”
