Research
shows
high tide
increase
NEW RESEARCH has found
the biggest increase in high tide
levels across Christchurch is at
the Ferrymead Bridge.
The maximum increase was
84mm.
This, alongside other new
high tide statistics, has provided
the city council with a greater
understanding of the flood risk
in Christchurch’s tidal areas.
Engineering consultancy GHD
Christchurch, in collaboration
with Netherlands-based flood
risk experts HKV, put the
statistics together using advanced
analysis that looks at sea level
influences.
These include weather patterns,
such as significant rainfall events,
sea-level rise, and the effects of
wind and waves on the sea. The
companies were commissioned
by the city council, which hopes
to understand the frequency
of high water levels at various
locations around the city.
The research shows a slightly
higher water level for most
high tide levels than was
calculated when the statistics for
Christchurch were last reviewed
in 2018.

Former chaplain honoured for sport
SERVICE:
Janice
Stead was a
Canterbury
and New
Zealand senior
women’s
cricket
representative
and a
volunteer
chaplain
FROM CHURCH chaplaincy
to representing New Zealand
cricket on a global scale,
Reverend Janice Stead has
worn many hats throughout
her life.
But it is sport, particularly
cricket, that the Parklands
resident has had a keen eye on
from a young age.
It was only natural that
the passion grew onto other
family members – younger
brother David Stead was a
former Canterbury cricketer
and her nephew, Gary Stead,
coaches the Black Caps.
A lifetime of being involved
in cricket at all levels and
promoting the women’s game
was why she was named a
member of the New Zealand
Order of Merit, for services to
sport and the community.
Not only has she been a
player herself representing
New Zealand in nine tests
between 1966 and 1972, touring
Australia, South Africa
and England, but she has also
been a commentator, selector
and administrator.
Following her playing days,
she provided television and
radio commentary, helping to
promote women’s cricket to a
wider community.
Stead was on the Canterbury
women’s cricket
executive and is a life member
of the Canterbury Cricket
Association.
She was also involved in
table tennis as a player, umpire,
and administrator. She
was on the Canterbury table
tennis committee for more
than 25 years and made a life
member of the association in
2000.
Stead represented New
Zealand in table tennis during
the Australian veteran’s
championships from 1989 to
2000, and managed the team
from 2001 to 2009.
In 1989 she umpired for
the World Deaf Table Tennis
Games when it was held in
Christchurch.
Stead was also a volunteer
chaplain for the Windsor
Care Retirement Village
and Alpine View Life Care,
retiring in 2019.

Making sure rivers are ‘flowing free’
• By Bea Gooding
HUGH CANARD has been on a
four-decade mission to save New
Zealand’s rivers.
A passion for water conservation
evolved during his childhood
when all his favourite
rivers that he loved to swim and
kayak in were turned into lakes
to make way for dams. Questioning
everything ever since,
he dedicated his life to ensuring
people and authorities are honest
about the consequences of their
actions on the environment. And
it was why he was made an Officer
of the New Zealand Order
of Merit for services to conservation
and paddle sports in the
Queen’s Birthday Honours.
“I’m really thrilled and thankful
for all the people I met along
the way and supported me,” he
said.
Canard was president of
Whitewater New Zealand Inc
from 1980 to 1990 and has been
its patron since 1992.
He is a member of the
Canterbury Regional Water
Committee and contributed to
policy forums, providing guidance
to members responsible for
representing the interests of paddle
sports, river recreation and
conservation throughout New
Zealand.
Canard has also led hundreds
of amateur kayaking and rafting
trips for the Canterbury Whitewater
Club.
Over the past 40 years, he has
been instrumental in securing
Water Conservation Orders on
the Kawarau, Buller, Grey, Rangitata
and Mohaka rivers.
But it did not stop there – he
has either been a member or
chairman of numerous organisations
nationwide, including the
Nelson-Marlborough Conservation
Board, National Water
ADVENTURE: Hugh Canard on the Waiatoto River on the West Coast.
Strategy Working Group, and
the Packrafting Association of
New Zealand.
Canard developed certificates
and codes of practice for the Sea
Kayak Operators Association,
which he helped establish, and
helped purchase land by the
Buller River in order to retain
public access.
But most of all, his proudest
achievement was “the fact that
some really big rivers are still
there and flowing free” and
having a hand in making sure it
stays that way.
He said it has become much
easier than it was 20 years ago to
have conversations with people
like irrigators around taking care
of waterways. He said society is
starting to care more about the
natural world.
“There’s no money in leaving a
river alone,” said Canard.
“We all drink water and flush
the toilet, so we need to think
about where it comes from, the
consequences of our actions and
be honest about them.”

mitre 10 mega ferrymead
lend a helping hand
BeFore
during
in may we lent a helping hand to the Bridge
hub and helped build a 100-metre-long fence.
The Bridge Hub used to be a church but after the
earthquakes became un-used. The vision of The Bridge Hub
is to be a soon to be event venue offering all kinds of things
like yoga, tai chi, a cappella singing, a space for an art gallery,
a wellness center, a hall for hire for private and public events,
a communal space and so much more! One problem they
found after the earthquakes was that a lot of South New
Brighton local facilities got removed and so locals needed
a new spot to meet and do activities, and this is how The
Bridge Hub all started.
Avon Dickie Construction were the lead builders on the day, guiding
our team while we assisted with framing up the fence. It was a day
full of very hard work and it’s so rewarding to see that it’s paid off.
The day started by meeting outside of our store and then driving
down to the site. We then had a team meeting with our team, the
builders and Steve the project manager of the bridge hub. We went
over health and safety and a plan for the day. We started out by using
the post hole borer to dig the holes for the fence post. We then lined
up and braced the fence posts, then once they were straight, we set
them with concrete. Then in the weekend a group of volunteers went
along and put all the palings on.
As you can see the finished result is amazing! We are very happy with
how it turned out. We can’t wait to see what The Bridge Hub turns
out like when it’s all complete!

acknowledges that future leaders in the 21st Century require more

Museum memories: The netball team
that produced future Silver Ferns
The New Brighton
Museum has a rich
history spanning for
than 100 years. Peggy
Butterfield writes
monthly about the
historical display at the
heritage museum.
OUR DISPLAY this month
features the Kakatai Basketball
Club.
The club began in 1946
by Mildred Tregurtha (née
Marks), known as Mick. Mick
was a Canterbury basketball
representative, and she formed
the club.
The name “kakatai” was
suggested by musician Tommy
Kahi and means “seabirds.” The
name was changed in the 1960s
to New Brighton Netball Club.
The club had a proud history,
producing several Silver Ferns,
the most notable being Judy
Dunlop (née Blair) who started
her basketball career in the
1950s,
260
and went on to represent
x 180
Canterbury and captain the
Silver Ferns.
Judy Blair was made a Mem-
and Pauline.
ber of the New Zealand Order of
Merit (MNZM) in 2006. Judy’s
daughter Belinda also played for
the Silver Ferns.
Uniforms consisted of
sensible-length gym frocks, the
length being censored by having
the girls kneel down and see that
nothing intimate was on display
when they jumped.
Good sensible black stockings
were held up by a suspender belt,
with cover-all black bloomers.
But this attracted numerous
male sideline spectators
at Hagley Park on a Saturday,
who would just go for a glimpse
of the upper leg when the girls
jumped for goals.
Mick Tregurtha was so dedicated
to her club, and it was said
that because she was such a good
coach, players from other clubs
transferred to Kakatai to gain
from her leadership.
Sadly Mick got very ill with
cancer. While in hospital for
treatment, she made her husband,
Tom, wheel her over to the
netball courts to watch her team.
Mick was only 36 when
she died, leaving three young
children, Brian, Wayne

New literacy initiative for 5-year-olds
now at Christchurch schools
A NEW approach to how fiveyear-olds
are taught to read is
helping raise the literacy skills
of Canterbury children, and it
has already made its way into
Northcote and Burnside primary
schools.
More than 450 teachers and
literacy specialists nationwide
are taking part in the better start
literacy approach, developed by
the Child Well-Being Research
Institute at Canterbury University.
Pene Balk-Jarvis, a teacher
with more than 30 years’ experience,
is training as a BSLA
facilitator and is supporting four
teachers at Northcote.
The programme is now being
rolled out in classes across the
country, reaching more than
4500 children in their first year
of school.
Northcote principal Justin Perriam
said the school got involved
after noticing a steady decrease
in 6-year net scores - a measure
of a student’s grasp of basic reading
and writing concepts and
skills after a year at school.
“We knew that our current
practice was not working so we
RESOURCE: A new approach to how five-year-olds are taught to read has been

started to look around for different
options,” he said.
“BSLA is giving us the
opportunity to try a different
approach to support our ākonga
with their literacy learning. It’s
not a case of throwing out our
current practice, but of enhancing
the good practice we do with a
different lens.”
Perriam is now seeing high
levels of engagement from the
pupils who are keen to share
their knowledge and clearly see
themselves as learners.
“They have found both the
whole class and smaller group
activities to be achievable and
of high interest. The lessons are
fast-paced, meaning the students
are not getting bored.”
The BSLA is based on research
evidence of the most effective
methods to teach children lettersound
knowledge, phonological
awareness, vocabulary, oral
narrative, word reading and
spelling.
The approach uses quality
children’s storybooks and fun,
game-based phoneme awareness
activities to build these critical
foundational skills.
The research trials, which have
been published internationally,
demonstrated that the approach
significantly improves children’s
early reading spelling and
vocabulary development to
a greater extent than typical
classroom practice.
It is particularly helpful for
children who enter school with
lower levels of oral language
skills and helps them catch up to
their peers.
Across the city, facilitator
Trudi Browne is supporting four
teachers at Burnside Primary
School.
She said the school got
involved as they were keen to
give tamariki the best possible
start in their learning.
“Our tamariki have embraced
the approach as much as we, as
kaiako, have. They are bringing
along their reading folders, keen
to find out what their next learning
is.”
Browne said the children are
engaged and are reading at a
higher level than before.

When your brand includes the top Harcourts
office out of 900 around the world in addition
to the top franchise in the South Island for
income per sales consultant, it’s clear that
you’ve got an extraordinary team.
So for these consultants to earn the position of one
of the top fifteen real estate sales consultants at
Harcourts gold is truly a remarkable achievement.
They are phenomenally good at what they do;
skilled, highly trained and dedicated to delivering
exceptional results for property owners. I am
extremely proud to work with these real estate
professionals.

Customers pleased with honest,
reliable vehicle servicing
Having your vehicle regularly serviced is
key to getting the best out of it in terms of
fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear
on expensive parts.
Kevin, who owns and operates Parker
Automotive in Birmingham Drive,
provides full vehicle servicing to keep your
vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs,
batteries and tyres.
He also carries out all mechanical repairs,
including cam belt replacement, suspension
work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only
repairing what’s necessary, and without
charging the earth.
He has owned the business since 2007,
and over that time has established a loyal
customer base – people that rely on him
to give them sound advice and provide
professional care and servicing for their
vehicles.
Customers come from across the city,
Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell
and Middleton areas, and the business has
received many positive Google reviews
from customers. Below are some examples:
I have been going to Parker Automotive
for the last eight years and I cannot fault the
service. The mechanical work has been top
notch! If you want top service and value for
money I recommend Parker Automotive. –

basic servicing and warrants through to
major work like clutches, replacement
coilovers and bushings. Kevin is a very
honest guy who gets the job done in a very
timely manor and he has outstanding
communication. The overall service I’ve
received is excellent. – Lachlan Poole
I know it’s not always about price but
sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs,
you just want a perceived good deal and work
carried out by someone who seems to care.
Kevin came recommended by a friend, and
what a great recommendation. His work was
clean, efficient, fast and came in under what
I thought it was going to cost. So we took my
partner’s car there two days later and that
too was completed faster than we expected
and at an almost unbelievable cost.
Give Parker Automotive a shot next
time you need something done. Kevin
is a nice fella too, win win. – Mark
Lewis
Earlier this year, Parker Automotive
moved from premises on the Lincoln
and Torrens roads corner to a new site
at 23B Birmingham Drive, Middleton.
Opening hours are Monday to
Friday 7.30am-4pm, Saturday 8am-

to help with all your vehicle servicing
needs.
