Army Reserve Force Private Shannon Harrison from Shirley was 

one of 60 soldiers who took part in a training exercise on the 

West Coast. The section signaler was involved in Exercise Kalami 

in dense forest near Maruia. Their task was to follow a defined 

path through the bush while under attack, But the decaying 

undergrowth and limited visibility challenged them all as they 

patrolled the area with their weapons and packs while the enemy 

confronted them at every turn. PHOTOS: JOHN COSGROVE

New signs

• By Emily Moorhouse 

CONCERNS FOR safety and 

complaints about noise from 

unauthorised motorbikes have 

prompted 20 “no motorbikes” 

signs to be put up around the 

red zone. 

Linwood resident Ashley 

Campbell regularly walks her two 

little dogs around the Avonside 

area and said some people were 

using the area as an off-road dirt 

track for their motorbikes. 

Campbell said the issue with 

motorbikes has been ongoing, but 

recently worsened with teenagers 

and adults seen riding around 

parks, tearing up the grass and 

making excessive noise. 

“It’s an accident waiting to 

happen,” she said. “It’s becoming 

more of a problem.” 

Campbell reached out to the 

city council’s red zone team to 

see what could be done and was 

pleased to hear signs will be 

installed. 

Red zone manager Dave Little 

said riding motorbikes within 

parks is prohibited under a bylaw. 

“We have recently experienced 

an uptick in this behaviour and so 

are increasing signage to remind 

people that this activity is not 

permitted,” he said.

Medway St bridge opens 

for first time since quakes 

A TWISTED and distorted

opening had a

well as the riverside landing 

at Dallington, were funded 

by a $13.7 million grant from

Panel formed 

to counter 

burglaries 


Tracey 

McLellan 

A COMMUNITY panel will be set 

up to put the brakes on burglaries 

in the Woolston area. 

The panel was one of the initiatives 

raised at a community meeting 

set up by Banks Peninsula MP 

Tracey McLellan and Woolston residents 

with growing concerns about 

burglaries. 

McLellan hosted the meeting 

at her office and said it was handy 

to sit down with 

residents and compare 

notes on what 

was happening in 

Woolston. 

She said people volunteered 

to sign up for 

the community patrol 

to increase its presence 

in the area. The meeting 

ran for roughly 90 minutes and 

eight residents attended, reporting 

back on their experiences in different 

streets. 

McLellan said it would have 

been nice to see more people 

there. However, some were unable 

to make the allocated time but 

dropped into her office during the 

day instead. 

“The most important thing is we 

get people together,” she said. 

McLellan said the community 

panel will aim to get business 

owners on board, as well as senior 

students from Te Aratia, formerly 

Linwood College.

‘You can change things for the better’ 


HELPING stranded whales and 

preserving endangered plants 

might seem pretty out there for 

some, but for park ranger Dave 

Rate-Smith this is just another 

day in the office. 

The 43-year-old is trained in 

horticulture, construction and 

fine arts, and said being a park 

ranger lets him use all these skills. 

“You could be answering 

emails, then fixing a broken 

waterline or making park furniture,” 

he said. “I’m prone to 

getting bored easily and being a 

ranger I don’t get bored.” 

Before Rate-Smith became a 

ranger four years ago, he owned 

a construction business, after 

seeing the need for it following 

the earthquakes. 

After seven years he closed the 

business and joined ecological 

firm Wai-ora, working his way 

up to team leader in two years 

before jumping at the opportunity 

to become a ranger for 

Bottle Lake Forest Park. 

Now Rate-Smith looks after 

multiple parks including Styx 

Mill, The Groynes, McLeans 

Island and Roto Kohatu. 

He said the job changes everyday 

and you have to be prepared 

to “throw your plans out the 

window at any given second.” 

Rate-Smith especially likes 

Sundays because that’s when he 

can talk to the public the most. 

“It’s when you actually do that 

DREAM JOB: Dave Rate-Smith has been a park ranger for four years and said he gets 

excited about going to work. 

PHOTOS: EMILY MOORHOUSE 

you become aware of problems 

you might have missed,” he 

said. “I really like seeing their 

reactions when we change and 

improve an area.” 

The responsibilities of a ranger 

seem endless. The job requires 

problem-solving skills, having 

to be a trained firefighter, and 

handling animals such as whales 

and sea lions. 

“We end up with a good range 

of skills but not being specialists 

in any of them, which suits me to 

a tee,” Rate-Smith said. 

Describing himself as an outdoors 

person, Rate-Smith said 

being out in nature is definitely 

one of the highlights of the job. 

“It’s what calms me as a person, 

that’s my happy place in life, 

hearing the fantails twittering 

away,” he said. “That really sort 

of puts a smile on my face. 

NATURE: Rate-Smith said 

being outdoors is one of 

the highlights of being a 

park ranger. 

“There’s times I think I’d love 

to go off and work for DOC in 

the middle of nowhere but aside 

from my wife not appreciating it, 

I would actually miss the social 

side of it.” 

When asked what the strangest 

“It’s not a day in parks 

until you pick up a pair of 

undies” 

– Dave Rate-Smith 

thing he’s come across at one of 

the parks he laughed and said 

“those would not be appropriate 

for paper”. 

“We see some shocking things 

aye, we see the best and the worst 

of human nature,” he said. 

“People go to parks to do weird 

things, they really do. It’s not a 

day in parks until you pick up a 

pair of undies.”

Ranger creates legacy 

Motorbike damage 

‘disappointing’ 

CREATIVE: Rate-Smith built this seat in collaboration with a local carver and weaver for 

one of the parks, and made a fairy house in his spare time for the children’s fairy forest in 

Bottle Lake Forest Park. 

• From page 5 

When he was tasked with 

replacing picnic tables at The 

Groynes, Rate-Smith said he 

“wasn’t impressed” with the 

cost so took it upon himself to 

design his own tables and get 

an engineer to build and install 

them. This roughly halved the 

cost of ordering tables in. 

It’s things like this that 

make Rate-Smith get up in the 

morning feeling excited to go 

to work, something he feels 

fortunate to experience. 

While Rate-Smith loves his 

job, he said there are some 

aspects that he really struggles 

with, particularly seeing people 

damage the parks. 

“We do all of this work and 

there’s always an element to 

society that seem to congregate 

in parks that want to destroy 

stuff,” he said. 

“You put everything you can 

into it and you do believe in what 

you’re doing, and it might only 

last a week before somebody’s 

destroyed it.” 

He said the rangers had seen 

an increase in people doing 

burn-outs at The Groynes, 

ripping the paddocks to pieces, 

and wondered if this was due to 

frustrations with Covid. 

This time of year tends to 

be the quietest for the rangers 

and they spend it planning and 

planting as well as taking in new 

volunteers to help out around 

the parks. 

Outside of work, Rate-Smith 

enjoys pottering in his garage, 

gardening and painting, and 

is even learning how to tattoo, 

using his legs as a drawing board 

for his “doodles”. 

One of his favourite parts of 

the job is seeing changes such 

as rare birds coming back to 

an area or catching glimpses of 

waterways improving through 

the work the rangers do. 

“We could well be leaving 

something for people hundreds 

of years from now,” he said. 

“You can change things for 

the better so easily; you get to do 

something good everyday.” 

• From page 1 

Motorbike riders face a maximum 

penalty of $1600 for riding 

in an unauthorised area. 

Burwood resident Angela Todd 

the damage caused by motorbike 

users is disappointing and not 

what you’d expect in the area. 

“The times I have seen them, 

they were speeding around without 

any regard for anyone else,” 

Todd said. 

“On one occasion they sped 

down Locksley Ave at what 

would have been over 50km/hr.” 

The new signs have been 

installed around the red zone’s 

green spine, from Richmond 

through to Bexley Park, with one 

in South New Brighton. 

Campbell said while it was 

“positive” the new signs were 

installed, she doubts it will stop 

all motorbike users from riding 

around the parks.

Update on the Christchurch 

Wastewater Treatment Plant 

We’re sorry for the distress you’re experiencing because of the stench 

from the fire-damaged Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant. 

Since the fire we’ve been 

dealing with two sources 

of odour – the ponds and 

fire-damaged structures. 

We’ve worked hard to reduce 

the smell from the ponds, 

and this work is ongoing. 

However, the other source 

of odour is worse. 

After the recent wet weather, 

the material inside the 

damaged structures started 

to rot and smell. This is now 

our main priority. 

Here’s what we are doing: 

• We have tested the air around the plant. The gases 

present are at levels below those considered toxic. 

However, we know the ongoing stench is affecting 

people’s wellbeing. 

• We are continuing to test the air and are working with 

Environment Canterbury and the Medical Officer of 

Health to monitor and report on the odours. 

• Our contractor is about to set up onsite, so they can 

remove the material from within the structures. 

• The structures are huge. They hold about the same 

volume as 10 Olympic swimming pools. They estimate 

it could take between four to seven months to remove 

everything. If they can do it faster, they will. 

• There will be fortnightly progress updates to the 

live-streamed Council meetings so that up-to date 

information will be available to everyone. 

Available support 

We know the stench has been awful for those 

of you living nearby. We’ve arranged for an 

independent health provider to run two workshops 

at the Aranui Wainoni Community Centre. 

The workshops will be held on: 

• Wednesday 25 May 7–8.30pm 

• Wednesday 1 June 7–8.30pm 

Visit ccc.govt.nz/wastewaterfire for more 

information and to register for these 

workshops, or call 03 941 8999 

If you’re concerned about your health, we 

recommend you see your GP or health provider. 

If the situation is impacting on your mental health, 

you can call or text 1737 at any time and talk to a 

trained counsellor for free. 

To keep up-to-date with the progress we’re making 

at the wastewater treatment plan, sign up to our 

regular e-newsletter at 

ccc.govt.nz/wastewaterfire 

If you have concerns about the smells, phone 

Environment Canterbury on 0800 765-588 or to 

report the odour on the Smelt It app, which you 

can download at 

smelt-it.web.app 

The fire at the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment plant was a 

catastrophic event and we’re very sorry that you have had to bear the 

brunt of the stench it has created. Please be assured we’re committed 

to removing the source of the odour as safely and quickly as possible.

As I sat in my office on the last day 

of Term I could hear the busy hum 

of ākonga outside preparing for our 

annual ANZAC commemoration. 

There was a buzz, an excitement as 

the kura prepared for the final official 

commitment for the term. There was, 

as well, a collective sense of relief that 

the term had finally ended and we 

could take some time out to rest, relax 

and rejuvenate. 

Our key focus in Term 1 was on 

raising ākonga achievement and 

ensuring they met their true potential. 

The wero for us all, as we look 

ahead to the next three terms, is to 

continue to find new and exciting ways 

to engage our ākonga and provide 

further tangible benefits to them. 

As a kura, Haeata is committed to 

providing for the educational needs 

and aspirations of all ākonga and to 

deliver programmes of ako/teaching 

& learning, alongside co curricular 

activities that will challenge them and 

provide coherent pathways into the 

future. 

Ākonga and kaimahi worked hard in 

term 1. I would like to publicly thank 

them all for their contribution to our 

success during the term! There were

Ngatu and kowhaiwhai patterns. 

so many highlights in Term 1 and many 

of these were reported in these Panui 

each week. We will continue sharing 

these highlights with you in term 2. I 

know you will enjoy reading this panui 

as well and will be amazed at just what 

our ākonga have accomplished in their 

daily kura life.

Government has moved the country 

to Amber Alert Level and as a 

community we have a little bit more 

freedom. As we look forward to the 

remainder of Term 2 there are still 

some challenges for us and our main 

one will be to keep our ākonga healthy 

and safe. While the wearing of face 

masks will no longer be mandatory 

we would encourage ākonga to wear 

them when inside and when working 

closely with their peers.s.

Science Update by Adam Hird 

In 2022, our Science Department has grown with the 

addition of Melanie Fairweather to our team. Melanie 

brings with her knowledge of our kura having worked 

previously as a reliever in Ihutai/ Kōrepo and working in 

Hikuawa in 2021. 

Science continues to grow at Haeata with more ākonga 

picking it as a class in the Senior School. In 2022 we are 

able to offer ākonga Senior Chemistry and Biology with 

good uptake in both. Our Year 11’s have started the 

year off extremely well and have demonstrated great 

understanding of the Nature of Science in being able to 

complete an investigation. They are about to start their 

first Chemistry Investigation for NCEA which has been 

delayed due to COVID. 

We are currently in the process of 

rewriting our Junior program and in 

2022 we are lucky to be working with 

Stephen Williams from Otago University. 

The focus of this program redesign is 

for our units to reflect our Cultural 

Narrative and to ensure our Year 9/10 

are ready for the new NCEA standards 

in 2024. Year 10 Science ākonga have 

been using the model of a waka to 

learn about forces such as drag and 

thrust. Pictured here are Starlet Odgers, 

Nathan Thomas, and Queen Faagase 

who have created mini waka. In term 2 

we will be welcoming Stephen Williams 

from Otago University to test out our 

waka and teach us more about forces. 

Kōmanawa Update by Aroha McQueen 

In term 1 in Takirau we looked 

into measurement. We explored 

measurement through creating 

height and length then comparing 

our creations to our peers. 

We centred our measurement 

activities around our value here 

at Haeata of Kaikōtuitui, being a 

Collaborator. 

We used the photocopier to create 

copies of the patterns we created 

to form new designs through 

rotations and reflections. 

In these photos, we can see one 

of our ākonga, Zayden exploring 

height and being a Kaikōtuitui as 

he worked in a group to create
