SHAYLAH SAYERS may have
only been a competitive track
cyclist for six months, but she
is already set to race against
the best in her age group.
The 13-year-old Papanui
High School student will compete
in the U15 category of
Cycling New Zealand’s Track
National Championships in
Cambridge next week.
The championships are open
to U15 and U17 cyclists for the
first time this year, and Shaylah
is among the young riders
from Christchurch heading
north to represent Canterbury.
Christchurch Boys’ High
School student James Aroyo
will also compete in the U15
category, while fellow students
Matt Davidson, Josh Parsons
and Luca Sanders have qualified
for the U17 category.
Papanui High School
student Kirsty Watts will also
compete in the U17 competition,
as will Cashmere High
School’s Meg Baker.
In spite of her short time
in the sport, Shaylah won six
gold medals and one silver in
the Canterbury Open Track
Cycling Championship last
month.
“With how good I did in the
races, and the times I had and
stuff, I expected to qualify for
nationals, but when I heard
that I qualified for nationals, I
got excited,” she said.
She was most looking
forward to representing Canterbury,
she said.
“I’m really excited for that,
and to see what I can do over
there.”
Shaylah was a little surprised
at how quickly she had taken
to track cycling since last
October, but attributed it to a
life-long love of cycling.

Young
person
allegedly
involved
in theft
at school
• By Fiona Ellis
POLICE ARE investigating the
late-night theft of school speakers
in which a child appears to have
been involved.
Waimairi school’s CCTV
cameras captured the incident
that saw six fire alarm and school
bell speakers stolen at about
11.30pm last Tuesday.
School Principal Mike
Anderson said one of the people
caught on camera appeared to be
“quite young.”
Possible identities of those
involved had been passed on to
the police to follow up.
CCTV photos were shared to
the school’s Facebook page with
a message asking people to get
in touch if they thought they
could help identify anyone, a
method that seems to have been
successful.
Anderson said he believed
he had a good idea of who was
responsible, although identities
have not been confirmed.
He felt frustrated by the
incident, he said.
The school would need to
replace the stolen speakers,
including hiring technicians to
install them, and the cost could be
“in the thousands”.

School theft ‘frustrating’
SUSPICIOUS: CCTV footage of people allegedly at Waimairi School where six fire alarm and school bell speakers were
stolen last week. Police are investigating.
• From page 3
“Schools have tight enough
budgets as it is, we really don’t
have the budget to be doing this.”
Anderson noticed the theft
early the next morning when the
bell failed to ring as usual.
However, disruption in the
school schedule was minimal.
They were now using air horns
in place of a bell, as the school
already had this leftover from
post-earthquake construction
work.
Other fire alarms at the school
had not been affected and so the
theft did not pose a fire safety
issue, Anderson said.
He believed it was likely the
speakers were stolen so young
people could attach them to their
bikes and play music from them.
“That’s what they’ve been
doing. It’s fairly common
knowledge in schools across the
country.”
Although he had heard of
it happening in other schools,
it was the first time such an
incident had occurred at
Waimairi School, and he hoped
it would be the last.
Police were continuing to
make inquiries to locate the
offenders, a police spokesperson
told Nor’West News on Monday.
Christchurch North
Community Patrol chairman
Sam Hall said although there
had been a few incidents in the
Jellie Park area, young people
were not generally causing
trouble in the patrol area.
“We’re always looking for that
sort of thing,” Hall said.
“It’s on our taskings to look out
for, but we haven’t come across
anything.”

Springbok tour supporters sought for project
• By Chris Barclay
ANTI-apartheid protesters
and rugby fans who supported
the Springboks Tour in 1981
are being sought to recount
memories of that divisive winter
for school children through an
oral history initiative for the city.
And once the audio interviews
are catalogued, ideally they will
be advertised and accessed at
sites such as Lancaster Park, an
epicentre of protest action as the
venue of the series-opening All
Blacks test against South Africa
– almost 41
years ago.
“What we
hope we’ll be
able to do is have
a mini audio
documentary so
Kris Herbert
you’ll be able to
walk around the
park and hear the story from a
viewpoint of being in the stands,
a protester and a police officer
so we can paint a rich picture of
this event,” Our Stories Project
director Kris Herbert said.
The not-for-profit project is
seeking interviewees from across
the divide to be quizzed by year
7 and 8 students at Unlimited
Discovery (Ao Tawhiti).
Already police officers who
were on test duty that Saturday,
August 15, have agreed to go
down memory lane to Wilsons
Rd and Lismore St, where they
faced off with protesters pre and
post-match.
News media who covered the
protests – and the game (won by
the All Blacks 14-9) – are also
sought for their views, likewise
‘neutral’ Cantabrians who
watched the drama unfold while
sitting on the fence.
Christchurch-based former
national organiser of Halt
all Racist Tours John Minto
provided ample local contacts
for the protest movement, but
pro-tour supporters have been
harder to locate, prompting
a request by Herbert to make
contact.
“We’d love to hear from people
who were rugby supporters, that
was another viewpoint on it, that
sport and politics shouldn’t mix.
They’re proving a wee bit trickier
to find.”
Students aged 11 and 12-yearsold
have been schooled up
on interview techniques, and
should put those skills to the test
intermittently over the coming
months when their schedule
allows.
Herbert, who secured $25,000
of funding through the city
council’s Intangible Heritage
Grant Fund, envisaged the
collection comprising about 15
interviews.
Our Stories Project started
in 2016 and focused on
Lyttelton, where schoolchildren
interviewed long-standing
residents about growing up in
the port.
Herbert said the project was
headed in a new direction, by
focusing on one of the most
contentious issues to split the
city.
“Although there were some
heartfelt moments with the
Lyttelton stuff, a lot of it was
quite light like: ‘My favourite fish
and shop was …’”
Now the project could
potentially go from the frying
pan into the fire.
PITCH BATTLE: Police armed with
batons confront anti-apartheid
protesters who made it on the ground
at Lancaster Park, delaying the start of
the first test between New Zealand and
South Africa in 1981.
PHOTOS: CHRISTCHURCH STAR ​
“We wanted to collect stories
from the central city and
we thought we’d attach it to
the 40th-anniversary of the
Springbok tour,” Herbert
said.
“We thought it had multiple
aspects to understand, it’s not
just black and white, there’s a lot
of grey, and it’s connected
to physical places around the
city.”

Bridge over Avon opened
THE FIRST of three new
pedestrian bridges in the
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor
opened to the public last week.
The Avondale bridge crosses
the river from the end of
Briarmont St to the regeneration
area adjacent to New Brighton
Rd.
City council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said the new
bridge provides an important
connection between Avondale
and the ecologically-restored
wetlands planned for the future
Eastern Reach.
“It’s an exciting time for the
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor,
with a lot of work under way to
fulfil the vision and objectives
of the Regeneration Plan for the
area,” he said.
“This is the first of three new
footbridges currently being built
in the 602ha regeneration area,
to provide valuable cross-river
connections for neighbouring
communities and users of the
Regeneration Area.
“These bridges will also plan
an integral role in the future
City to Sea Pathway that will
follow the river from Barbadoes
St to New Brighton.”
The three bridges at Avondale,
Medway St and Snell Pl and
a new riverside landing at
Dallington were funded by a
$13.7 million grant from the
Christchurch Earthquakes
Appeal Trust.
“We’re grateful to the
Christchurch Earthquake
Appeal Trust for the funding
they provided to bring these
bridges and the landing to life,”
Rutledge said.
The Dallington Landing will
open to the public on Saturday
followed by the Medway St and
Snell Pl footbridges in April.

“I’ve mountain biked since I
was little, with my dad, and then
I started mountain bike racing at
the start of last year.”
While she was unable to choose
a favourite between track cycling
and mountain biking, track
cycling came with a lower risk of
injury.
She once tore a hole in her leg
mountain biking, which was
unlikely to happen on the smooth
velodrome surface.
“I’ve been mountain biking for
a long time, but track cycling is
pretty awesome.”
In preparation for the nationals,
Shaylah had stepped up her
training regime.
“I’m doing a lot of mountain
biking and road cycling, and track
training too. I do maybe 30-40
kilometres a day. I try to get my
training done early in the morning,
so then I have the rest of the
day and I can do other stuff too.”
She was used to the early starts
and loved to be on her bike whenever
she could.
“Sometimes I ride on the cycle
path out to Kaiapoi, and I ride
up in the hills, and I spend lots
of my time in Bottle Lake forest
mountain biking.”
However, people would be
surprised to know how serious it
could get, she said. She and many

others trained hard.
She would like to win an U15
national title, and to represent
New Zealand one day.
Shaylah watched other riders
whose sporting careers she admired,
such as Ellesse Andrews.
“I know she got a silver medal
at the Olympics and she wasn’t
expecting it so I thought that was
pretty cool.”
It would be awesome to be at
that level one day, she said.
Coach Terry Gyde said the
commitment from Shaylah and
her parents was huge.
Her progress was “quite extraordinary,”
he said.
“I think the thing that stands
out is her determination, if anyone
tries coming past her on the
last lap she fights incredibly hard
to the finish.”

the inclusion of U15 and U17 age
groups was a natural pathway for
young riders.
“It’s all about having fun and
learning,” she said.
“After missing out on the
nationals last year due to Covid,
we are grateful that CNZ
has found a way to make the
competition happen this year, so
they get to compete on a national
stage.”

Cricket academy a chance to fulfil dream
CRICKETER Darcy Rose
Prasad, 15, has scored the
opportunity of a lifetime being
named one of the ANZ Next XI.
ANZ searched the country
to find eleven passionate young
cricketers who were ready to take
their skills to the next level.
The academy will show New
Zealand’s young female cricket
talent a pathway into elite level
and future World Cups.
Darcy Rose will get to meet
her heroes, while attending an
exclusive White Ferns junior
training academy later this year,
where she and her fellow squad
members will meet the players,
train with the team, attend
expert-led master classes, and
learn valuable skills to inspire
them to become the very best
cricketer they can be.
Darcy Rose was shocked to be
named in the squad saying: “My
dad actually applied for me. I
had absolutely no clue that any
of this was going on. I’m very
glad that he did it. I’m pumped
that I get to go to a camp with
the White Ferns.’’
Darcy Rose, who plays for
Sydenham Cricket Club’s
premier women’s team, was
presented with an training kit
that includes a uniform, bat,
helmet and pads to ensure that
she has everything she needs to
be White Ferns-ready.
Darcy Rose’s love for cricket
started with her playing games
with her family and she signed
up to play for Sydenham at five.
“My dad got me into it when I
was very young. I’ve always loved
it and played it all my life.”
At school, Darcy Rose joined
in with the boys’ games, which
spilled over into weekends.
“I remember it being quite
daunting because I was one of
the only girls, but it was quite
fun. They were pretty encouraging
and cool about me playing,”
she said.
In year 6 Darcy Rose joined
the all girls team at her club,
she found a lot of differences
between playing with the girls
rather than the boys.
“It’s a lot less competitive, but I
really enjoy the social aspect.
“I’ve got some great friends
in my team now. Nobody in my
cricket team is from my school
so it’s a cool way to meet new
people and make new friends,’’
she said.
Darcy Rose made the tough
decision to pursue cricket over
football this season after she
realised cricket had taken her
heart. She was spread too thin
with three club trainings a week
plus the extra hours she likes to
put in at home.
OPPORTUNITY:
Darcy Rose
Prasad is excited
to be part of a
cricket squad
that will train
and develop
with the White
Ferns.
“I work on wicket-keeping or
I get my brothers to bowl at me.
They’re both fast bowlers. We do
cricket first and then try to fit
homework in after.
“I want to be the best cricketer
I can. It’s my dream to play for
the White Ferns. I’d like to think
that I’m better than my brothers
but they’re quite a bit older
than me so I try to keep up with
them.”
The academy won’t be
Darcy Rose’s first run in with
the White Ferns. After climbing
the ranks at Sydenham to make
the premier women’s team, she
was inducted into a new level of
competition, facing the bowling
of White Ferns Lea Tahuhu
and Amy Satterthwaite fielding
behind her in the slips.
“I was about to bat, I had padded
up and turned around to see
Lea and Amy walking out. I was
like: ‘Oh no’.”
“I blocked the first one she
bowled at me. The next bowl,
I hit back at Lea’s head, she
reached for it but couldn’t get it. I
got a couple runs off her,’’ Darcy
Rose said.
However, she was dismissed
with the next ball.
“It was pretty cool to face a
White Fern,’’ she said.
ANZ New Zealand chief executive
Antonia Watson says it’s
important to support women in
pursuit of their goals.
“We’re proud to be able to offer
these passionate young sportswomen
this opportunity to meet
and train with their heroes. I’m
a firm believer that if you can see
it, you can be it.”
She said ANZ has been a
strong supporter of women in
sport for over 10 years from
grass roots to elite level athletes.
“That’s why we’re proud to
be putting our full support
behind the ICC Women’s Cricket
World Cup. It’s a fantastic
opportunity to showcase our
athletes to the world and provide
important opportunities to
grow the next generation of
cricketers.”

Helping the kids buy their first home
THE AVERAGE asking price in
all regions across the country has
reached record heights, making it a
tough and competitive landscape for
first home buyers, who will now need
a deposit of $187,000 for the national
average asking price and a whopping
$250,00 for the Auckland average
asking price.
So, what can you do to
help your kids finance their future?
How it usually works
The most common case of parents
stepping in is where the kids have 10
per cent or 15 per cent of a deposit
saved and Mum and Dad are topping
that up to get them to 20 per cent.
There are several ways you can go
about leveraging the equity in your
own assets to provide the shortfall the
kids need.
A good number of young
savers have been adding more
to their KiwiSaver fund this
year, so it’s accrued very well and is a
great starting point for a deposit.
Know what you’re letting
yourself in for
If you are well resourced, you as
parents can provide a guarantee on
the whole loan, but this is a big step,
and unusual, as most of you will want
your children to be responsible for the
mortgage.
Be clear about the responsibility you
are prepared to shoulder, and bear in
mind the children still have to prove
they can service the loan, and with
increasingly stringent lending criteria,
without a good deposit, securing
finance could be tricky.
Remember, it can just be a temporary
solution to help them get a head
start with a foot on the property ladder,
which is becoming increasingly
difficult without parental help.
This can be a temporary
arrangement, with them repaying
the money when they sell the house,
ensuring they leave you with a decent
retirement nest
egg.
Put everything in writing
Document everything you agree on
to avoid getting in a tangle, including
what happens to the money if your
child and their partner break up.
If it is going to be a gift
of money with no strings
attached, viewed as an early inheritance,
then make this clear to the child
and the rest of the family.
Do you expect the money to be
repaid? If so, consider having the legal
document state it does not have to be
repaid until the property is sold – it
doesn’t bear interest, it comes behind
the mortgage.

RAY WHITE PAPANUI NEWS
The Humble Letterbox
The humble letterbox can be a quite forgettable everyday
item and one that doesn’t evoke much feelings of excitement
when it comes to home design. However, it is typically one of
the first things people see when they arrive at your house so
it’s worth selecting one that not only boasts function but form
as well.
Letterbox Rules
Did you know that here in NZ we have specific mailbox
specifications from NZ Post? Every day each of our Posties
delivers to around 1,000 mailboxes, some positioned in
difficult places with hard to reach slots.
• Ensure the main mail slot is big enough to take several A4
size magazines without needing to fold them. If you receive
parcels, you should consider having a separate parcel area
in your mailbox.
• Your mailbox should be deep enough (from front to back)
now take the length of an A4 size item so that mail can be
pushed in far enough to drop out of sight securely.
• Your mailbox should be large enough to hold all of the mail
you receive. If you frequently receive parcels, ensure your
mailbox is large enough to accommodate them, out of sight
from the street.
• Ideally, your mailbox will have a separate area to take
newspapers.
• You can still have fun with your mailbox design - just allow
for the minimum internal dimensions shown in the diagram
below to make mail delivery easy and safe.
• Spring loaded flaps must not be fitted on mailboxes as they
may cause injury to your Postie.
Setting up your mailbox
• Make sure your street number is clearly visible.
• Position your mailbox on the property boundary, close to
the footpath on the nearest flat area, in a position that is
easy and safe for your Postie to access. Where your Postie
delivers by cycle the terrain before and after your mailbox
needs to be flat and free of obstructions.
• Avoid locating your mailbox on a hill, slope, bank or up steps.
• Maintain safe and clear access to your mailbox, with no
shrubbery or obstacles in the way.
• The height of your mailbox must be between 900mm –
1200mm from the ground to the mail slot.
Mailboxes for flats or apartments
Outside mailboxes Groups of outside mailboxes for flats or
apartments should be at right angles to the footpath or road
way. The height from the ground to the mail slot must be
900mm-1200mm.
Inside mailboxes If you have mailboxes located inside a block
of five or more apartments, they should be lockable, on the
ground floor and with a common entrance.
Now I just need to figure out how to hide all my online
postal shopping deliveries from my husband!
