Christchurch Arena<br />
THURSDAY, MARCH <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2022</strong><br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
CYCLIST SHAYLAH Sayers<br />
has returned from her first<br />
national championships with<br />
six gold medals.<br />
The 13-year-old Papanui<br />
High School student made a<br />
clean sweep of the under-15<br />
category of Cycling New<br />
Zealand’s track national championships.<br />
“I’m super-stoked with my<br />
results, it couldn’t have gone<br />
any better,” she said.<br />
“It was so much fun getting<br />
to race all those girls and being<br />
a part of the Canterbury team.”<br />

Huge success at nationals<br />
PEDAL POWER: Shaylah Sayers (left) with coach Terry Gyde and Lizzy Thomson after the duo won the under-15 girls<br />
500m team sprint title.<br />
Shaylah had been a competitive<br />
track cyclist for just<br />
six months before taking part<br />
in the event at the Cambridge<br />
Velodrome.<br />
Canterbury Track Cycling<br />
coach Terry Gyde said when<br />
training with the teenager, she<br />
had reached speeds he would<br />
expect of his elite cyclists.<br />
“It was a surprise for everybody<br />
else but I kind of had an<br />
inkling.”<br />
However, he kept quiet so<br />
as not to pressure her with<br />
expectations as they prepared<br />
for nationals.<br />

School<br />
pathway<br />
plan hits<br />
financial<br />
road block<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
PLANS FOR a new 700m path<br />
connecting three Burnside<br />
schools seem to have stalled<br />
after the Ministry of Education<br />
estimated the project would cost<br />
$1.3 million.<br />
Ilam MP Sarah Pallett, who<br />
lobbied for the Cobham Intermediate,<br />
Burnside Primary and<br />
Allenvale schools pathway last<br />
year, said this was “far in excess”<br />
of predictions.<br />
“I am hopeful that this conversation<br />
can be kept open and<br />
we can work together to find a<br />
solution that works for the community,”<br />
Pallett said.<br />
The redevelopment of the<br />
schools as part of a $1.3 billion<br />
Christchurch Schools Rebuild<br />
Programme raised the question of<br />
path redevelopment, as the original<br />
plan did not include it.<br />
Pallett raised the issue at a<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
meeting last year, as reported by<br />
Nor’West <strong>News</strong> last April.<br />
The path keeps children, pedestrians<br />
and cyclists off the road<br />
when moving between schools.<br />
The ministry’s property delivery<br />
associate deputy secretary Sam<br />
Fowler said the estimate was provided<br />
by a quantity surveyor.<br />
“[It] included provisions for<br />
groundworks, base course and cycleway,<br />
fencing, lighting, signage<br />
and contractor management costs<br />
and design and consenting fees.”<br />

‘It’s a nice feeling to give to people’<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
AN 8-YEAR-OLD’S act<br />
of kindness has not gone<br />
unnoticed.<br />
Emilee Dawson wanted to<br />
make sure others waiting in<br />
line at the petrol station weren’t<br />
getting thirsty after experiencing<br />
a lengthy wait with her mum.<br />
Emilee and her mum Phee<br />
Dawson had been in line for<br />
about half an hour to get fuel<br />
from the Woolston Waitomo,<br />
because prices were set to rise<br />
that evening.<br />
When the pair arrived at<br />
their home just across the street<br />
Emilee asked if she could go and<br />
give out free drinks to people<br />
also waiting in line.<br />
“They were sitting out there all<br />
afternoon and I didn’t want them<br />
to be thirsty like I was,” Emilee<br />
said.<br />
She filled up two trays<br />
with cups of juice, Coke and<br />
lemonade and, with her mum,<br />
walked them across the street to<br />
hand out.<br />
Her proud mum said she<br />
thought it was very sweet her<br />
little girl wanted to do this for<br />
others.<br />
Her kind act was<br />
acknowledged a few days later<br />
when a package from Waitomo<br />
arrived on their doorstep,<br />
addressed to Emilee.<br />
Emilee was delighted by the<br />
Sarah<br />
Pallett<br />
MP for Ilam<br />
My team and I are here to<br />
help. Please get in touch with<br />

surprise and said the kiwi teddy<br />
was her favourite.<br />
When asked why she wanted<br />
to give out drinks Emilee said:<br />
“Well, because people will like<br />
you and you will have friends<br />
and it’s a nice feeling to give to<br />
people.<br />
“I feel it’s better to give than<br />
receive even though I still<br />
got stuff, which was nice, but<br />
it felt better giving out the<br />
drinks.”<br />
KINDNESS: Emilee Dawson<br />

out free drinks to people<br />
waiting in line for fuel.<br />

When we decided to sell, Cameron was the logical choice to help us. From our<br />
first discussion we knew he was the right person, a clear sales strategy and<br />
focus gave us huge confidence.<br />
Whilst our expectations on auction day were high, the result Cameron<br />
achieved for us blew us away..... far beyond what we could have ever hoped.<br />
We unreservedly recommend using Cameron to sell your property.<br />

Total clean sweep<br />
of titles in grade<br />
• From page 1<br />
“People like that come probably<br />
once a decade, once a generation.<br />
She’s certainly opened a lot of<br />
eyes.”<br />
Fellow coach Hamish Ferguson<br />
said it was very unusual to see a<br />
total clean sweep of the grade.<br />
“Her performance is extraordinary,<br />
especially for somebody<br />
who only started track cycling<br />
in our junior development programme<br />
a few months ago.”<br />
This was especially impressive<br />
given that most of her experience<br />
was on outdoor tracks, he said.<br />
“She’s been training hard and<br />
racing hard at Denton Park, but<br />
to know how to race tactically on<br />
the indoor velodrome<br />
is amazing.”<br />
Shaylah opened a<br />
stunning campaign in<br />
the under-15 division<br />
on day one with victories<br />
in the elimination<br />
race and 500m time<br />
trial.<br />
She also topped<br />
the podium in the<br />
points race, derby and<br />
scratch race before<br />
combining with Lizzy<br />
Thomson to claim the<br />
500m team sprint title<br />
during last Saturday’s<br />
final day of competition.<br />
Her dad, Laurie,<br />
who accompanied Shaylah to<br />
nationals, said it was amazing to<br />
watch her do so well.<br />
“The first one was a bit of a<br />
shock, and she just followed on<br />
from it,” he said.<br />
Although she had only been<br />
track cycling for a short time,<br />
she had been mountain biking<br />
with her father from a young<br />
age, Shaylah told Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />
earlier this month.<br />
Her father also recalled taking<br />
her on bike rides when she was<br />
small, in which she struggled to<br />
keep up.<br />
“Then she got older and she just<br />
took off, now I can’t keep up with<br />
her.”<br />

REBUILD: Cobham Intermediate, Burnside Primary and Allenvale schools are being<br />
redeveloped as part of a $1.3 billion Christchurch Schools Rebuild Programme, and Ilam<br />
MP Sarah Pallett is pushing for safe access to the schools.<br />

Ministry initially open to some funding<br />
• From page 1<br />
The ministry initially indicated<br />
that it was open to funding some<br />
costs towards the path although<br />
it was not technically in its remit.<br />
As a public path, the provision<br />
of a redeveloped path would fall<br />
to the city council.<br />
The ministry consulted the<br />
schools, the city council and the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board last year,<br />
Fowler said.<br />
“Following these discussions<br />
and having considered the likely<br />
investment needed and management<br />
challenges of an accessway<br />
alongside these operational<br />
schools as well as the potential<br />
benefits, we have decided not to<br />
pursue the proposal further.”<br />
City council head of transport<br />
and waste management Lynette<br />
Ellis said $180,000 had<br />
been allocated for the<br />
lighting of the path next<br />
year in the draft Annual<br />
Plan, currently out for<br />
consultation.<br />
This was what it had<br />
been asked to fund, she<br />
said.<br />
However, this was on the assumption<br />
the path would be paid<br />
for by the ministry.<br />
The pathway was used by area<br />
residents as well as those walking,<br />
cycling, and riding scooters<br />
to school, Ellis said.<br />
“Cobham Intermediate has<br />
Bridget<br />
Williams<br />
had a relatively high level of active<br />
transport . . . in 2020 40 per<br />
cent of its students either cycled<br />
or scootered to school.”<br />
Community Board chairwoman<br />
Bridget Williams<br />
said the board’s position on<br />
the issue was based on community<br />
feedback.<br />
“What we’ve been hearing<br />
is some of the schools<br />
don’t actually want the<br />
path,” she said.<br />
“For a cost of that amount, we<br />
would hate to say this is something<br />
we could deliver when<br />
financially, the council can’t.”<br />
However, the board would look<br />
at other options if there was a<br />
demand for it.<br />
A word from Ilam MP<br />
Sarah<br />
Pallett<br />
Turn everyday<br />
essentials into<br />
SuperGold<br />
Since coming into Government,<br />
Labour has worked hard to support<br />
low and middle income Kiwis and<br />
we’ve just taken another step to make<br />
things a bit easier.<br />
The war in Ukraine has caused a<br />
global energy crisis that is being felt<br />
across New Zealand and I know this<br />
price spike has been tough for many<br />
of us here in Christchurch.<br />
While we can’t control global events,<br />
we can control the support we<br />
provide New Zealanders.<br />
That’s why we’ve cut petrol excise<br />
duty by 25 cents a litre for three<br />
months and we’ll shortly announce<br />
equivalent reductions in road user<br />
charges.<br />
Half-price public transport fares will<br />
also be in place for three months,<br />
making getting to and from work<br />
more affordable for many and giving<br />
a great alternative to filling up the<br />
tank.<br />
These initiatives are part of our<br />
broader programme to reduce<br />
cost pressures, which includes a<br />
suite of changes that will lift the<br />
incomes of many Kiwis from 1<br />
April. Improvements to Working for<br />
Families alone will see around 60% of<br />
all families better off by an average of<br />
$20 per week. Students, seniors, and<br />
minimum wage workers will also see<br />
an income boost. The Winter Energy<br />
Payment will also re-start on 1 May<br />
to help with heating costs over winter.<br />
There’s no silver bullet for the current<br />
cost-of-living pressures, but these<br />
measures will make a difference. They<br />
build on actions we’ve taken since<br />
2017 to ensure Kiwi families have<br />
more in their pocket, like the family<br />
tax credit, free school lunches, and<br />
cheaper doctors’ fees.<br />
We’re committed to securing a<br />
recovery from COVID that leaves no<br />
one behind – and supporting families<br />
with the cost of living is just one way<br />
we’re making that a reality.<br />

Gym club on the hunt for new<br />
premises with high ceiling<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
LOW CEILINGS may be the<br />
biggest challenge for young<br />
gymnasts aiming to compete at<br />
a national level.<br />
THe Bishopdale-based Delta<br />
Rhythmic Gymnastics club is<br />
struggling to find a training<br />
venue with a ceiling height of at<br />
least 10ms.<br />
THe sport involves throwing<br />
hoops, ribbons and clubs high in<br />
the air, carrying out movements<br />
while the objects are airborne<br />
and then catching them again as<br />
part of a choreographed routine.<br />
President Jo Walker said the<br />
club had been hopping from<br />
venue to venue since the<br />
earthquake over a decade ago.<br />
“It’s really hard, we’re just so<br />
desperate now. We don’t really<br />
know quite what to do,” Walker<br />
said.<br />
THe former New Zealand<br />
Institute of Sport building on<br />
Riccarton Rd had been a good<br />
fit but was no longer an option.<br />
“THat was bowled down at<br />
the end of last year. That was<br />
the only place we had that had a<br />
really high ceiling.<br />
“It was old but it was the<br />
perfect height. That was bowled<br />
over for housing, which is<br />
completely devastating.”<br />
THe club trained about 135<br />
young gymnasts, about 52 of<br />
whom were eligible to try out<br />
ROUTINE: Delta Rhythmic Gymnastics Cub’s Jennifer<br />
Trieu. of Redwood.<br />

for nationals, she said.<br />
“THat means that they’re<br />
senior kids, which means that<br />
they need to throw high.”<br />
THe club now operated<br />
from Breens Intermediate<br />
School, Fendalton Community<br />
Centre, Middleton Grange<br />
School, and Rolleston<br />
Community Centre.<br />
“None of these places have got<br />
a ceiling that’s high enough for<br />
our senior girls.<br />
“We’ve asked the council and<br />
it can’t give us anything.”<br />
A warehouse, hanger or barn<br />
would serve the purpose, she<br />
said.<br />
THe club members had been<br />
gearing up to work from a<br />
warehouse, but the arrangement<br />
fell through, leaving them once<br />
again searching for a venue.<br />
This caused the training regime<br />
to be pared back.<br />
In spite of the club’s size and<br />
success in its field, she believed<br />
it was not prioritised in the way<br />
sports such as basketball were.<br />
“It’s like the whole sport has<br />
been forgotten, it’s like nobody<br />
cares.”<br />
However, she thought a good<br />
location must exist somewhere<br />
nearby and she remained<br />
hopeful it would be found.<br />
MORE THAN 250 people have<br />
tied purple ribbons to a worry<br />
wall as part of a public art<br />
installation on Papanui Rd.<br />
Priest Megan Herles-Mooar<br />
said the All Souls Anglican<br />
Church short-term installation<br />
could help people deal with current<br />
worries.<br />
“We wanted to offer something<br />
tactile that helps people<br />
acknowledge and perhaps lessen<br />
their worries about Omicron, the<br />
war in Ukraine, and anything<br />
else that is troubling them at<br />
present,” Herles-Mooar said.<br />
The wall is a series of<br />
temporary wire fences on<br />
which people can tie a length<br />
of purple ribbon, which are<br />
provided free.<br />
Pedestrians were stopping to<br />
find out what the bright purple<br />
installation was all about, she<br />
said.<br />

WALL: An art<br />

at Papanui’s<br />
All Souls<br />

Church is<br />
a way for<br />
people to<br />
offload some<br />
of their<br />
concerns. <br />
Church’s worry wall<br />
proving popular<br />
“Not only can people take a<br />
moment or two to offload their<br />
cares but every day I and others<br />
from the church pray for our<br />
community and the world and<br />
for peace – both global and<br />
personal.<br />
“The installation is showing<br />
that all people, regardless of<br />
faith, have a desperate desire for<br />
peace and as such the wall is a<br />
place to hopefully find that.”<br />
“It’s amazing how the concept<br />
attracts people’s attention and<br />
appears to have struck a chord,”<br />
she says.<br />
The colour purple was chosen<br />
for the ribbons because of<br />
the association with Lent, the<br />
reflective period in the church<br />
calendar in the lead up to Easter,<br />
the most important celebration<br />
in the Christian calendar.<br />
The wall installation is open to<br />
the public until April 18.<br />

Battle of the bridge: What’s in a name?<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
BURWOOD residents continue<br />
to be frustrated over the lack<br />
of action in naming a new<br />
footbridge bridge over the Avon<br />
River.<br />
The bridge in the red zone area<br />
near Briarmont St was opened<br />
earlier this month.<br />
But the city council continues<br />
to call it the Avondale Bridge – in<br />
spite of the long-time Avondale<br />
Bridge connecting Avondale and<br />
New Brighton Rds being only a few<br />
hundred metres along the river.<br />
The Pegasus Post reported on<br />
residents’ concerns in November,<br />
but still there has been no action<br />
from the city council.<br />
In a recent article on the city<br />
council’s <strong>News</strong>line website, the<br />
new footbridge was again called<br />
the Avondale Bridge<br />
future, once a co-governance “We thought it would be great<br />

ridiculous having a brand new this, and we’ll engage with both that the community board run<br />

as one that already exists 200m community,” Rutledge said. “We wanted it to come from<br />
down the road.”<br />
Johns said BERA had passed the community board because<br />

because there might be<br />

opened to the public, and then fairly small, they wanted to see people from Avondale that have<br />

One suggestion was naming both sides of the river.”<br />

thinks most of the members<br />
FRUSTRATION: The new pedestrian bridge being called the “Avondale Bridge” has caused confusion among residents<br />
because it’s also the name of the road bridge that links Avondale Rd to the New Brighton Rd/Bassett St roundabout.<br />
agree that referring to it as the<br />
Avondale bridge is “not ideal.”<br />
“They seem open to the idea<br />
of investigating a new name for<br />
it anyway which is really good,”<br />
Johns said.<br />
Burwood Ward city councillor<br />
Phil Mauger said he was disappointed<br />
the bridge wasn’t named<br />
before it’s official opening.<br />
“It seems a bit silly that we<br />
know the bridge has been coming<br />
for five years...we weren’t<br />
on top of it,” Mauger said. “It is<br />
disappointing.”<br />
“The Avondale Bridge just<br />
causes confusion, it is a bridge in<br />
Avondale,” he said. “It’s not the<br />

bridge should be named.<br />

Avondale Bridge in my view.”<br />
Mauger said the BERA was<br />
keen to name the bridge after a<br />
local identity, which he thought<br />
was a fantastic idea.<br />
He said the Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board will also<br />
probably suggest some names<br />
and have a discussion about it.<br />
“I’m totally open it’s up to the<br />
residents of the area to be happy,”<br />
he said. “I’ll agree to any name<br />
they’re happy with no problem.”<br />
Mauger also noted that there<br />
will be two other bridges opening<br />
soon, being the Snell and<br />
Medway and wondered if these<br />
were also yet to be named.<br />

How To Arrange Throw Pillows Like A Pro<br />
There’s some science behind decorating with throw pillows like a pro. For this purpose,<br />
it’s essential that you review some general rules first:<br />
• Start with the largest pillow and go from largest to smallest one as you work your<br />
way towards the centre of the couch<br />
• Odd numbers are visually more interesting.<br />
• Place a lumbar size or round pillow at the centre to create additional depth and<br />
dimension.<br />
Colours and textures<br />
The key for your throw pillows to look like they were styled by an interior designer is<br />
knowing how to play with colours and textures. When picking colours for your throw<br />
pillows, first you want to identify the colour or colours that stand out in the room. This<br />
could be the colour of an accent wall, the colour of a piece of art, or an accent piece like<br />
a couch or chair. You want to incorporate this colour (s) in your throw pillows to some<br />
degree as you don’t want to outshine the item you have identified. Rather, you want<br />
to highlight it and/or complement it with the addition of throw pillows. This will bring<br />
cohesiveness and harmony into the room with very little effort. You want to mix and<br />
match colours and patterns. So once you identify what your main colour is, you want to<br />
find other colours that will complement your colour scheme. This can be either a colour<br />
of the same family or colours that contrast each other but still look good when paired<br />
together. You want to mix and match colours and patterns. So once you identify what<br />
your main colour is, you want to find other colours that will complement your colour<br />
scheme. This can be either a colour of the same family or colours that contrast each other<br />
but still look good when paired together. The same concept applies when mixing different<br />
textures. In this case, you want to pair colours of the same hue. For example, different<br />
shades of blue in different textures such as faux fur, leather, chunky wool, and linen are<br />
not just visually appealing, but they also create dimension and add interest. When using<br />
the same textures, we recommend playing with different prints and styles. Throw pillows<br />
are probably one of the most versatile home decor pieces you can work with. They add<br />
dimension, texture, and can really tie the room together. You don’t just choose them to<br />
create more comfortable spaces, but to highlight or complement colours and to bring<br />
about visual interest. The throw pillows that you choose can really make or break a room<br />
so it’s important that you learn tips and tricks on how to decorate with throw pillows like<br />
a designer!<br />

So what do you have to supply in a rental<br />
property vs what should you supply?<br />
I deal with a lot of kiwis who are first time<br />
investors, and I often get asked what they<br />
are expected to supply as a landlord, and<br />
although there is certainly legislation<br />
around this, I like to respond with not<br />
only what they must supply, but what will<br />
make the property a better home for their<br />
tenants. You may be surprised to know<br />
that a landlord does not have to supply<br />
window coverings. However it seems<br />
obvious that a tenant will require curtains/<br />
drapes or blinds for both privacy and<br />
warmth.This leaves two options, either<br />
the landlord supplies them at their cost<br />
and then they ‘belong’ to the property, or<br />
if the tenant is required to provide them<br />
then clearly they will own them and have<br />
the right to remove them at the conclusion<br />
of their tenancy. It is quite common for<br />
a tenant to replace an existing curtain<br />
in their home should they wish to, they<br />
simply store the landlord’s ones and rehang<br />
them before they leave, but should<br />
they really be expected to pay for the<br />
whole house? I guess it comes down to<br />
this. What would you expect if you were<br />
a tenant? I think we are likely to agree<br />
that window coverings are a no-brainer!<br />
Another thing to consider is a washing line.<br />
Again, not necessarily a requirement for<br />
a landlord to supply, but that leaves the<br />
door wide open for only internal drying<br />
using clothes driers or drying racks, both<br />
of which can cause extra dampness inside<br />
a property. Once again – the benefit of<br />
installing a clothesline will far outweigh<br />
the cost. Then there is the debate around<br />
TV aerials, what if your tenants don’t have<br />
digital TV? Another difficult one. Landlords<br />
are not required to supply one, but will<br />
that result in the tenant having to install,<br />
and ultimately removing at the end of their<br />
tenancy causing potential damages? The<br />
rules surrounding all of these chattels is<br />
however, that if they are supplied as part<br />
of the tenancy then they are required<br />
to be maintained during the tenancy by<br />
the landlord if necessary, but if a tenant<br />
accepts the property without them then<br />
the landlord is not required to supply.<br />
Overall in my opinio, a tenant should be<br />
able to expect these basic things in their<br />
home supplied by their landlords, it is not,<br />
I believe too much to ask, and will go a<br />
long way to having happy and respectful<br />
tenants.<br />
