June sees red over<br />

black power box<br />

St Albans<br />

resident<br />

wins battle<br />

to have it<br />

moved<br />

• By Chris Barclay<br />

A ST ALBANS resident who<br />

claims the unique character of<br />

the suburb is under threat from<br />

two “cookie cutter” housing<br />

developments has had a victory on<br />

a small scale – the relocation of a<br />

power source she tripped over.<br />

June Peka (above), who has lived<br />

in St Albans for 40 years, could not<br />

prevent a five-townhouse project<br />

being constructed next door to her<br />

property but she has succeeded in<br />

having a potential hazard being<br />

removed.<br />

Peka ventured outside to take<br />

photos of the ‘blood moon’ near<br />

total lunar eclipse last month when<br />

her knee struck the rigid black<br />

plastic-encased boundary box<br />

positioned on asphalt outside a new<br />

development at 138 Westminster St.<br />

“I didn’t fall on my knees but it<br />

was pretty close,” she said.<br />

Board’s meeting schedule slashed,<br />

greater engagement proposed<br />

• By Fiona Ellis<br />

IF THE public won’t come<br />

to its representatives, its<br />

representatives will go to the<br />

public.<br />

This is the hope Papanui<br />

ward councillor Mike Davidson<br />

expressed during a meeting of<br />

the Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board, in which big changes<br />

were made to the board’s 2022<br />

meeting schedule.<br />

The board will cut its meetings<br />

from once a fortnight to once a<br />

month in the new year.<br />

However, the board will also<br />

hold at least five of their usual<br />

briefings at various locations<br />

within the wards, with the<br />

provision to hold a 30-minute<br />

live-streamed public forum.<br />

The amendment to set to a<br />

minimum number of travelling<br />

briefings was led by Davidson.<br />

“Part of the reason we don’t<br />

have huge community engagement<br />

in our board meetings is<br />

sometimes we’re not accessible,”<br />

Davidson said.<br />

“I think we need to put ourselves<br />

into our community more<br />

and give them the ability to actually<br />

come to us.”<br />

A report included in the meeting<br />

agenda stated that holding<br />

either one or two ordinary<br />

meetings per month allowed for<br />

CHANGES: Papanui-Innes Community Board members Ali Jones, Mike Davidson, Pauline<br />

Cotter, Emma Norrish, Emma Twaddell and Simon Britten. The board will be meeting<br />

monthly instead of fortnightly in the new year.<br />

all items of business to be progressed<br />

on a regular basis.<br />

During the meeting, board<br />

member Simon Britten commented<br />

that some of the board’s<br />

fortnightly meeting agendas<br />

were ‘a bit light’.<br />

Member Ali Jones said she was<br />

wary of changing location except<br />

in exceptional circumstances<br />

because the board’s usual meeting<br />

room at the Papanui Service<br />

Centre was equipped with<br />

New clinic provides<br />

treatments in private location<br />

A brand-new cosmetic clinic, Satini, has just<br />

opened in Ferrymead.<br />

Owned and operated by medical professional<br />

Dr Nadja Haub, Satini offers an extensive range<br />

of cosmetic treatments for men and women,<br />

as well as lifestyle and nutritional advice to<br />

help clients maintain optimum health and<br />

wellbeing.<br />

Originally trained as a paediatrician, Dr<br />

Haub worked in several countries before<br />

gaining her aesthetic medicine qualifications<br />

in Australia. After moving to New Zealand,<br />

she began practising as a GP at New Brighton,<br />

where she has been for the last 10 years.<br />

Now, with the launch of Satini, Dr Haub<br />

says this new venture has been prompted by<br />

her long held and deep interest in aesthetic<br />

medicine.<br />

“I wanted to help people by enhancing their<br />

appearance, which would also help them to feel<br />

happier and more confident,” she explains.<br />

“Satini offers a holistic approach to aesthetic<br />

medicine with an extensive range of cosmetic<br />

treatments as well as healthy lifestyle advice<br />

that’s tailored to each client’s unique needs and<br />

genetic make-up.”<br />

Dr Haub regularly attends conferences to<br />

keep up to date with new treatments and<br />

methods in what she describes as a “fastdeveloping<br />

field”.<br />

An important point of difference she<br />

believes Satini offers in comparison to similar<br />

businesses is its very private location in<br />

Waterman Place.<br />

“That’s why I chose to establish the clinic<br />

here. We also offer VIP appointments where<br />

an individual client is the only one here during<br />

their session.”<br />

Another aspect of Satini Dr Haub believes<br />

clients will appreciate is the relaxing ambience<br />

the beautifully fitted-out clinic offers, also that<br />

clients are never made to feel rushed.<br />

Dr Nadja Haub looks forward to welcoming clients at<br />

her new Ferrymead clinic.<br />

Clients are invited to spend time in the Relaxation<br />

Room following treatment.<br />

“We have a relaxation room where clients can<br />

spend time after their session, put on make-up,<br />

have a drink or just wait until they feel ready<br />

to leave.”<br />

Pricing for Satini’s services is transparent,<br />

Dr Haub says, and there is no membership<br />

requirement or contracts to sign. The full range<br />

of treatments, which include Botox, chemical<br />

peels, dermal fillers and hair loss treatment for<br />

men, is listed on the Satini website.<br />

Satini also has a selection of medical-grade<br />

skincare and hair-care products available for<br />

purchase.<br />

Satini Cosmetic Clinic is located at Unit<br />

1, 27 Waterman Place, Ferrymead. It is<br />

currently open Thursday to Saturday. For more<br />

information and to book treatments visit<br />

expensive audio equipment, best<br />

suited to the purpose.<br />

“The room is made for communication,”<br />

Jones said.<br />

Board chairwoman Emma<br />

Norrish initially did not support<br />

the changes.<br />

“I am not supportive of moving<br />

to once-a-month meetings,<br />

and it’s, for me, the public access<br />

and transparency issue,” Norrish<br />

said.<br />

However, she supported the<br />

changes once the briefings were<br />

set to included live-streamed<br />

public forums, seconding Davidson’s<br />

amendment.<br />

There would still be the option<br />

to schedule additional meetings<br />

if the board found it needed to in<br />

the new year.<br />

The decision follows in the<br />

footsteps of the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community<br />

Board, which moved to monthly<br />

meetings earlier this year.<br />

In Brief<br />

NO SPEED LIMIT<br />

SIGNAGE<br />

THe Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board is concerned there is<br />

no speed limit signage on the<br />

off-ramp from the Christchurch<br />

Northern Corridor along<br />

Cranford St. The board has<br />

requested staff check whether<br />

a 50km/h speed limit sign has<br />

gone missing or, if not, whether<br />

one should be installed.<br />

jack.milligan@harcourtsgold.co.nz<br />

At its best or most vital, I think of<br />

culture as a heartbeat – a pulse –<br />

providing purpose and substance for<br />

the people comprising the group. I<br />

imagine a massive tapestry in which<br />

every person has contributed to the<br />

pattern, leaving a distinct impression,<br />

and that all of this creates something<br />

tangible and recognizable for others<br />

wanting to be part of that culture.<br />

We are all influenced by culture. In the sporting<br />

arena, culture is easily evident in the polarized<br />

extremes of winning and losing. A great<br />

team will often demonstrate a strong culture<br />

enhanced by equally strong leadership – our<br />

national rugby team often comes to mind –<br />

whilst a team that is struggling to win or even<br />

connect will have nothing binding the players<br />

together. Perhaps it’s due to a preference for<br />

individual game plans and personal glory<br />

rather than teamwork based on shared<br />

success.<br />

Business is no different. Cultures within<br />

workplaces are critical in establishing<br />

values and beliefs, shared traditions and an<br />

identity based on songs, symbols and stories.<br />

When this goes well, it looks like a picture<br />

of personal responsibility combined with<br />

collective success, feelings of being valued<br />

and the absence of a sense of entitlement. In<br />

an industry like real estate, collective group<br />

success can sometimes get replaced by<br />

more individualized pursuits, and leadership<br />

becomes an essential element in ensuring the<br />

culture isn’t altered because of this.<br />

Obvious success can be a sign that a culture is<br />

robust, but it’s what sits under the success that<br />

really needs identifying:<br />

Preparing and training – this means knowing<br />

what the goal is, having the right tools and<br />

being supported in your journey. This also<br />

requires agility. Sometimes the gameplan<br />

needs to change and you must be astute<br />

enough to do that.<br />

Caring about the person next to you – it seems<br />

obvious, but for some individuals this is really<br />

hard and it’s not on their radar … though it<br />

needs to be if the culture you are striving for is<br />

about lifting everyone and not just the chosen<br />

few.<br />

Having standards and values – ‘this is how we<br />

do it’, then doing it proudly and in the absolute<br />

best possible way. Remember, these levels<br />

won’t stand still. They must be continually<br />

reviewed and improved on. Culture benefits<br />

from being dynamic; the opposite would<br />

mean stagnation.<br />

I’ve learnt even more about this lately, having<br />

spent time with some of New Zealand’s most<br />

renowned sporting leaders and legends.<br />

To a man, of which there were two (and<br />

one incredible woman), they confirmed the<br />

importance of culture, vision, leadership and<br />

mateship. And, finally, ‘what you do off field<br />

reflects how you play on field’. After all, life itself<br />

is a field, so to speak.<br />

So, there you have it. A tiny snapshot of what<br />

culture can mean. But the story needs one<br />

more question: what are you as an individual<br />

doing for the culture of the group or groups<br />

you belong to? Are you adding to its pulse or<br />

tapestry, or taking from it?<br />

Life is made better when you add.<br />

‘Disaster waiting to happen’<br />

• From page 1<br />

Apart from the location,<br />

Peka said the issue was the box,<br />

which connects properties to<br />

the power network, is the same<br />

colour as the footpath.<br />

“It’s a disaster waiting to<br />

happen. They (the boxes) are<br />

everywhere but they’re not in<br />

that sort of a place. That’s a<br />

stupid place.<br />

“We’ve got old folks around<br />

the corner that use it (footpath)<br />

every day and a couple of<br />

blind people around there that<br />

navigate with their white sticks<br />

around here, there’s school kids<br />

with scooters.”<br />

A neighbour placed a couple<br />

of orange road zones in the<br />

vicinity of the box but they<br />

had been removed and taken<br />

further down the road.<br />

“It just gets weirder every<br />

day,” Peka said.<br />

The box was originally<br />

behind a fence bordering the<br />

construction site and was only<br />

visible once that was removed.<br />

“It’s sitting out there on its<br />

own just begging to be fallen<br />

over.”<br />

An Orion New Zealand<br />

spokesperson had good news<br />

for Peka on Monday after being<br />

alerted to the issue.<br />

“We have made the decision<br />

to move that boundary box.<br />

The work will be undertaken<br />

in January, and we will put<br />

cones on either side of it in the<br />

meantime to make sure people<br />

OBSTACLE: The boundary box’s original site.<br />

see where it currently is,” the<br />

spokesperson said.<br />

“They are generally positioned<br />

on the property boundary<br />

and it appears since placing<br />

it here, there has been some<br />

change to the boundary.”<br />

Peka was pleased to learn the<br />

power company would act.<br />

“That’s excellent, let’s hope<br />

nobody kills themselves before<br />

then,” she said.<br />

Peka stlll lamented the style<br />

of double-storey apartment being<br />

built in the area.<br />

“They’re pretty awful in bulk.<br />

They’re hugely visible, and in<br />

my opinion, ugly. There’s no<br />

trees around them, they’re<br />

plain and they’re white and<br />

grey and black. They’re cookie<br />

cutter things,” she said.<br />

Peka forwarded her concerns<br />

about the developments to the<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board but the city council<br />

ultimately allowed the<br />

Wolfbrook Property Group<br />

projects at Westminster St and<br />

nearby Mersey St to proceed.<br />

Peka believed the developments<br />

contradicted the<br />

Severn Design Guide which<br />

encompasses a portion of the<br />

St Albans area.<br />

While the Westminster<br />

St site is technically located<br />

outside the design guide, it sits<br />

only a street-width away from<br />

its boundary.<br />

The Severn Design Guide,<br />

which was published last year<br />

in May, is identified within the<br />

District Plan and officially recognises<br />

the space as a character<br />

area.<br />

The purpose of a character<br />

area is to ensure distinct characteristics<br />

are either identified,<br />

retained or enhanced when<br />

properties are built on or redeveloped.<br />

The guide promotes a<br />

high level of street amenity<br />

including established front<br />

gardens, generous street<br />

widths, mature street trees<br />

and grassed berms as well as<br />

a high proportion of original<br />

houses from early to mid 20thcentury,<br />

primarily consisting<br />

of single-storey wooden<br />

bungalows.<br />

The character guide also calls<br />

for new housing in the area to<br />

be complementary to the old,<br />

with a consistent size, form,<br />

scale and roof profile among<br />

houses.<br />

The two developments will<br />

have trees and gardens towards<br />

the front of the property but<br />

they are two-storey which goes<br />

against the guide.<br />

Leaking water a common problem<br />

LEAKING water supplies are<br />

once again the most common<br />

reason why residents of the<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board area are contacting the<br />

city council.<br />

A ticket report has<br />

revealed a breakdown of<br />

issues that residents contacted<br />

the city council about<br />

between October 20 and<br />

November 19.<br />

The report shows leaking<br />

water supplies to be the most<br />

common cause of complaint,<br />

with 178 tickets, or jobs, undertaken<br />

for this.<br />

Water leaks were also the<br />

top issue between July 21 and<br />

August 19, although a comparatively<br />

fewer 136 tickets<br />

related to the issue.<br />

The second and third most<br />

widespread issues in the most<br />

recent report were damaged<br />

bins and uncollected bins,<br />

with 150 and 107 tickets<br />

respectively.<br />

A total 1120 tickets, or jobs,<br />

were completed within an<br />

average of days.<br />

However, at the conclusion<br />

of the report last month, 525<br />

tickets were still open, or not<br />

completed.<br />

Incidents fell in a range of<br />

categories, including transport,<br />

wheelie bins, property<br />

information and three waters<br />

council assets.<br />

Phone, email and walk-in<br />

were the most common<br />

way to contact the council,<br />

with 862 people using these<br />

methods.<br />

The city council website<br />

was used by 483 people to<br />

report their issue, while<br />

298 did so using Snap Send<br />

Solve.<br />

Number of tickets (issues)<br />

reported in the Papanui-<br />

Innes Community Board<br />

area between September 20<br />

and October 19.<br />

1 Leak (water supply) – 178<br />

2 Damaged bin – 150<br />

3 Bin not collected – 107<br />

4 Residential LIM – 99<br />

5 Graffiti – 74, litter (road)<br />

– 74<br />

6 Residential property files<br />

– 72<br />

7 Road asset (e.g footpath,<br />

road, furniture) – 58<br />

8 Enhanced service – 55<br />

9 Missing bin – 45, residential<br />

LIM fast track 45<br />

Let’s use water like we oughta<br />

Morning time? Watering the garden is fine<br />

Avoid watering between 3 and 9pm<br />

Hold off on the hose and you’ll help take the pressure off our<br />

pumps and pipes during evening peak demand this summer.<br />

That way, everyone gets a fair share.<br />

• Target water to plants that need it by using a hand-held hose or watering can<br />

• Water every second day in the early morning or late evening, when it’s cool<br />

• Consider water timers and planting drought-resistant gardens<br />

• Avoid watering lawns and grass berms<br />

• Seek the leak – find out how to check your property for leaks<br />

• Leak in the road? Use our Snap Send Solve app, or contact us<br />

From broken pieces to beautiful artworks<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

AN ART group that turns<br />

broken china from the 2011<br />

earthquakes into mosaics has<br />

unveiled their latest masterpiece.<br />

The group, originally called<br />

Crack’d for Christchurch, was<br />

formed after they advertised<br />

asking for people to donate their<br />

broken china.<br />

The idea was to make a<br />

memorial for the earthquakes,<br />

but the group kept receiving<br />

donations and have since<br />

made three mosaics in the city,<br />

the latest being a seascape in<br />

Carnaby Lane in New Brighton.<br />

It took them 10 months to<br />

finish.<br />

The group is now called the<br />

Christchurch Mosaic Art Group.<br />

Member Sharon Wilson said it<br />

was all about turning something<br />

broken into something beautiful<br />

again.<br />

“We’re trying to give things<br />

that would go to the tip new life,”<br />

she said. “It’s giving something<br />

that’s donated by the people back<br />

to people to enjoy.”<br />

The group has created a<br />

chair and ottoman that sit in<br />

the botanical gardens and a<br />

surfboard, which they gifted to<br />

the New Brighton Library.<br />

They meet every six months to<br />

clean and put sealer on the chair,<br />

which they spent 18 months<br />

making, to protect it from<br />

the elements.<br />

SEASCAPE: The mosaic took the artists 10 months to complete and was transferred into place in sections.<br />

From left, Kathy Kitchener, Gillian Henare, Sharon Wilson, Helen Campbell, Kathryn Inns, Diane Champion, Jayna Gerrard<br />

and Jennie Cooper.<br />

PHOTOS: HENARE FAMILY ​<br />

Wilson said when they first<br />

began receiving the china it<br />

had notes written on the pieces,<br />

revealing family members who<br />

had passed down the china to<br />

the current owner.<br />

Wilson said they were donated<br />

so much china the seascape<br />

piece was made from the<br />

leftovers they had stored<br />

in different members’<br />

houses.<br />

“Sometimes someone will<br />

move house so it will go to<br />

someone else’s,” she said. “It<br />

moves around a bit.”<br />

Wilson said making the<br />

mosaics was “for the sake of<br />

beautifying places that aren’t<br />

necessarily very beautiful”.<br />

New longboard competition open to all<br />

• By Kristie Boland<br />

THREE SUMNER teens<br />

have created a new surfing<br />

competition for young<br />

longboarders.<br />

Point Surf Team junior<br />

club members Charlie Wise,<br />

Will Jamieson and Jack Tyro<br />

saw a gap in the market for<br />

longboarding events in Sumner<br />

so they made their own.<br />

“It’s all about bringing the<br />

cultural aspects of traditional<br />

longboarding back to Sumner,”<br />

said 17-year-old Charlie.<br />

“There are some competitions<br />

for longboarders here, but they<br />

are generally invite only. We<br />

wanted to make this available to<br />

everyone.”<br />

The trio also wanted to use<br />

the event as a way to help raise<br />

funds for Thanks Foundation,<br />

a non-profit organisation that<br />

creates opportunities for young<br />

people of all abilities through<br />

surfing, skating and skiing while<br />

focusing on their health and<br />

wellbeing.<br />

Thanks Foundation, which<br />

will be filming the event, will be<br />

gifted with the proceeds from<br />

the competition in the form of<br />

equipment to help towards their<br />

film-making programme.<br />

Charlie, Will and Jack got<br />

together with contest director<br />

Steve Tyro in early November<br />

to discuss running a<br />

competition in the Sumner<br />

area that was affordable and<br />

accessible to anyone who wanted<br />

to compete.<br />

The Exit Surf Tuawera<br />

Longboard Classic will be held<br />

on <strong>December</strong> 18 at the Esplanade<br />

in Sumner, with open and U20<br />

divisions. The one-day event<br />

will feature longboarding and<br />

original short boards pre-1985.<br />

They hope to attract 72 surfers,<br />

the maximum number for a oneday<br />

event.<br />

Head judge Grant<br />

Cochrane said “the judges<br />

will be encouraged to reward<br />

traditional longboarding moves<br />

performed with style and flow in<br />

critical parts of the wave.”<br />

Steve Tyro said: “Even though<br />

community and fun is a priority,<br />

the competition will be hot.”<br />

Leaders in Learning<br />

The Peter Bryant Memorial Scholarship Award <strong>2021</strong> Dux of the School<br />

Angelina Narayan<br />

This is an annual award, established by the Board<br />

of Trustees, to acknowledge the outstanding<br />

contribution to Burnside High School of the late<br />

Dr Peter Bryant, in his role as the Chairperson of<br />

the Board.<br />

This year’s Dux recipient, Angelina Narayan<br />

attended Burnside Primary School and<br />

Westburn, where she was involved in Lit Quiz,<br />

drums, keyboard and writing for the school<br />

newspaper. Even at this young age, creativity,<br />

focus and determination were all qualities noted<br />

by teachers.<br />

Early on at Burnside High School Angelina was<br />

identified as someone who excelled academically<br />

across the board with teachers describing her as<br />

an independent and highly competent student<br />

and someone who was “kind and cheerful”.<br />

While academic pursuits have been a key focus<br />

for Angelina she<br />

also turned her hand<br />

to a range of extra<br />

curricular offerings<br />

including pistol<br />

shooting, robotics and<br />

dance.<br />

Throughout her time<br />

at this school she has<br />

received numerous<br />

academic awards,<br />

most recently the cups<br />

for First Place in Year<br />

12 in English, Spanish,<br />

Physics and Chemistry.<br />

This year she has<br />

stepped up to a<br />

number of extra curricular activities including<br />

Magna Voce, Environment Group and Student<br />

Support Prefect as well as helping run a number<br />

of school social initiatives. In July this year, this<br />

student received the Spac Pac Supreme Award<br />

for Academic Achievement.<br />

She has also developed her creative side,<br />

writing poetry, and this year was runner up in<br />

the National Schools’ Poetry Award. She has<br />

recently had the pleasure of attending a poetry<br />

writers workshop in Wellington.<br />

Angelina is a truly multi-talented individual<br />

achieving an extremely high level of achievement<br />

across a number of subjects.<br />

Currently Angelina has accepted a place at<br />

Otago University with a substantial scholarship<br />

but is exploring her options, including overseas<br />

universities.<br />

Angelina’s motivation is drawn from, and I quote:<br />

“just wanting to be proud of myself and know<br />

that I’ve done the best that I could”. We are<br />

proud of her and celebrate her successes as the<br />

top academic student in the school.<br />

Proxime Accessit Peter Rowe Cup for Musicianship <strong>2021</strong><br />

Ai Yamada<br />

Our Proxime Accessit for <strong>2021</strong> is<br />

Ai Yamada. Ai is an exceptional<br />

student who excelled in all of<br />

her subjects this year, and has<br />

been described by teachers as<br />

“outstanding and highly diligent”.<br />

She combines a prodigious<br />

intelligence with a focused and<br />

determined work ethic. Ai has<br />

already attained sufficient credits<br />

at Excellence level for an overall<br />

Excellence endorsement this year,<br />

with external examinations still to<br />

complete. She loves an academic<br />

challenge and has taken part in a<br />

number of competitions throughout<br />

secondary school, most recently<br />

the NZ Engineering Science<br />

Competition <strong>2021</strong>, the NZ Physics<br />

and Mathematics Competition<br />

<strong>2021</strong>, and the National Secondary<br />

Schools’ Case Competition <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

In addition to these numerous<br />

Sportswoman of the Year<br />

academic successes, she has been<br />

very involved in sports and extracurricular<br />

activities at school. Ai has<br />

been consistent in her generous<br />

contribution to a wide range of<br />

school pursuits.<br />

She has, in <strong>2021</strong>, navigated a<br />

formidable workload and still come<br />

out the other side as close to the<br />

top as you can get. She is interested<br />

in studying Physics and Nuclear<br />

Science or Engineering, with a view<br />

to future involvement in the energy<br />

sector.<br />

Elisa Bird<br />

Elisa is an outstanding<br />

three years, playing both Baritone<br />
