Swimmers set up 

with skills for life 

LINWOOD AVENUE School 

has been awarded a grant of 

$8000 for swimming 

lessons. 

The grant has been given by 

the New Zealand Community 

Trust. 

Principal Gretchen Smith 

said: “The drowning statistics 

for Aotearoa this summer have 

been dreadful. 

“Learning to swim is crucial 

for water safety and swimming 

is a vital skill for all students to 

develop.”

History 

of the 

city’s east 

celebrated 

AN EXHIBITION at Linwood 

Library focuses on boosting a 

sense of community through a 

celebration of history. 

Reflections of the East photography 

exhibition has been curated 

by local librarians and highlights 

images of the suburb from the 

early 1900s through to the 1990s. 

“After the last two years the 

team really wanted to bring back 

a sense of community and place 

that the library has always worked 

hard to create,” said head of 

libraries and information Carolyn 

Robertson. 

“We hope that 

people will recognise 

places and 

events and maybe 

see themselves, 

their whānau or 

friends in some 

of the images and 

that there will 

Carolyn 

Robertson 

be discussions and reminiscing 

among customers or staff.” 

There will be 30 feature images 

reflecting life and events from 

Linwood, such as the 1982 Davis 

Cup at Wilding Park, the Aranui 

speedway which ran from 1949 to 

1959 and attracted crowds of up to 

14,000, as well as many others. 

“People can see some wonderful 

images of their area, their community, 

their history. They can 

see what the Discovery Wall and 

Canterbury Stories offers and how 

they can contribute and be part of 

an expanding local digital heritage 

collection,” Robertson said.

Sparks performance 

a night to remember 


VIOLINIST ARNA Morton 

has grown up with the Sparks 

concert – only this time 

around things looked a little 

different. 

Morton traded the view of 

the stage for the view of the 

audience as she performed 

with the Christchurch 

Symphony Orchestra at 

Saturday night’s Sparks in 

North Hagley Park. 

Although performing 

at Sparks was a firs time 

experience for Morton, 

she said the concert went 

really well and had a great 

atmosphere. 

“I was just so excited to be 

back performing together 

with the band,” she said. 

“Obviously last year we had 

a lot of disruptions so it was 

nice to have everyone get back 

into it.” 

Even after playing the 

violin since she was five, the 

coastal area resident said 

it was normal to sti l get 

nervous before a performance, 

especia ly for a large crowd. 

“There’s this heightened 

sense of adrenaline before 

you go on stage. I definitely 

sti l get nervous, which is 

important,” she said. “It’s 

about channe ling the energy 

required for a performance.”

about 

Bromley 

‘stench’ 


RESIDENTS LIVING near the 

Bromley wastewater treatment 

plant have been “coping with the 

stench” for weeks now and want 

something done to fix it. 

The wastewater treatment plant 

caught fire in November and has 

been emitting an unpleasant sme l 

ever since, causing frustration 

among residents. 

Katinka Visser has lived in 

Bromley for 35 years, and said 

while the stench hasn’t been as 

bad during the new year for her, 

she sometimes felt as though she 

couldn’t breathe. 

“I’ve had three nights that I 

virtua ly couldn’t breathe, it was 

that bad, there’s like a fog and it’s 

just sitting. ’ 

She said even after putting her 

head under the blankets, she 

could sti l sme l the stench. 

Visser said because the wind 

has been coming from a southerly 

direction lately, she hasn’t been 

experiencing the sme l as strongly, 

but knows that residents close by 

do. 

“I’m so thankful that I’m not 

affected as much as most people,” 

she said. 

“There are people way, way 

worse off than me.”

Money 

puts hand 

up for local 

elections 


FORMER Coastal-Burwood 

chairwoman Kim Money has 

made a bid to return to local body 

politics, with plans to stand for 

council as an independent for the 

Coastal Ward. 

Celeste Donovan 

is the current 

Coastal Ward 

counci lor and 

said it was always 

great for democracy 

when you 

had a choice. 

“It’s 

encouraging to hear another 

woman is standing and there wi l 

be others putting up a hand closer 

to the election date,” Donovan 

said. 

Money was the board’s 

chairwoman in 2016, but didn’t 

stand for re-election in 2019 due 

to personal circumstances. 

Now she says those 

circumstances have changed 

and the timing is right for her to 

throw her hat back in the arena. 

“I’m keen to get back again and 

represen this community that I 

love so much,” she said. “We rea ly 

do need that experience from the 

coast sitting a the council table 

and I would love to do that for my 

community.” 

Money said it had been 

unfortunate she couldn’t stand 

again in 2019 as there were a few 

unfinished things she needed to 

do. • Turn to page 4

New community recreation centre 

‘a wonderful asset to have’ 


AN OLD high school gym that 

has been transformed into a 

community-based sports and 

recreational centre will open its 

doors this weekend. 

The Avon Hub, formerly the 

Shirley Boys’ High School gym, 

has had a new lease of life. It’s 

been renovated, with new basketball 

backboards and hoops 

and new gym flooring. 

The gym will host an opening 

day on Sunday from 11am-1pm 

with activities and inflatables 

for the kids to play on, as well 

as sports games and a sausage 

sizzle. 

Eastern Community Sports 

and Recreation community sport 

manager Kate Latimer said the 

Ministry of Education funded 

the repairs to get the gym to a 

fully functioning communitybased 

centre. 

“For the community, it is a 

wonderful asset to have available 

for the local schools for their 

sport and PE development,” 

Latimer said. “Local principals 

are very excited to have tamariki 

have access to the gym and turf 

spaces.”

She said they’ve already had

Swimming lessons 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

A REGULAR DAY AT 

McMaster & Heap VETS 

Every day is an adventure as a veterinarian. But it is also hard work, and that’s without 

throwing COVID and an increasing pet population into the mix. There are always surprises 

and events we can’t predict, like the Labrador that swallowed a sock or a patient struggling 

to breathe with heart failure. As professionally trained vets and nurse we have to be ready 

to cope with any situation that presents itself any time of the day, respond quickly and have 

the right team around us to save a life. 

Below are a collection of photos telling a short story of what we see and treat in a single 

day at McMaster & Heap. We all support and help each other manage cases, workload and 

those emergency walkins. It takes a very special kind of person to do what we do day in day 

out, 7 days a week. Steve and I are immensely proud of the team that have chosen to be 

part of the McMaster & Heap Family, and I feel proud every single day of the work done by 

our entire team.

Blue was referred to McMaster & Heap for an MRI because 

he’d started seizuring and was not well controlled on epileptic 

medication. Suffice to say we couldn’t identify a cause causing 

the seizures so can safely say he probably has idiopathic 

epilepsy, which will require lifelong daily drug treatment. 

teach life-long skills 

• From page 1 

Smith said Christchurch was 

surrounded by beautiful beaches and 

rivers – and it was essential young 

children were taught basic skills to ensure 

their safety in outdoor or indoor water 

environments. 

“By teaching children how to swim at 

primary school, we hope that this will help 

develop a life-long love of water sports, 

and the necessary knowledge they will 

need for water safety.” 

She said each year the school committed 

to providing swimming lessons for its 

students, as formal lessons were beyond 

the reach of many of families within the 

school community. 

“Swimming lessons help tamariki to 

develop important swimming and water 

safety skills in a controlled and safe 

aquatic environment.” 

The skills and knowledge gained could 

then be used outside of school hours. 

“We sought funding from NZCT for 

swimming lessons for the entire school, 

from year 1 through to year 6, with a 

specific focus on our middle school 

students in years 3 and 4,” Smith said. 

“The quote for the middle school was 

larger than for the junior and senior 

schools because it includes a swim week 

in every term. Year 3 and 4 children are 

the group who typically make the most 

progress.” 

She said swimming lessons should be 

provided by those with the appropriate 

qualifications. Although teachers received

has ensured students at Linwood 

Avenue School are able to receive 

swimming lessons. 

tuition in the teaching of swimming, the 

progress that children make in a proper 

facility with a trained coach did not compare 

with “what we as a school are able to 

offer”. 

“As a decile 2 school, it is difficult for 

our whānau to contribute to or pay for 

professional swimming lessons. Funding 

from NZCT makes a huge difference 

by taking the pressure off the already 

strained budgets of our students’ families 

and whānau.”

We have a veterinarian with a special interest in treating

can be hugely rewarding when we can extend a pets life

Keep New Brighton Rd open – residents 

I LIVE in Avondale and walk 

both sides of the river threeto-five 

times a week including 

weekends. I am usually out 

walking any time between 

7.30-10 am depending on 

weather and time of year, my 

route is anywhere from the New 

Brighton Bridge up as far as the 

boat sheds. 

I have to say I was very 

surprised to hear of the possible 

closure of said road as it is 

always very busy on the times 

that I observe it. I, myself, would 

drive different sections of New 

Brighton Rd at least three times 

a week to go to the Palms, visit 

friends in Palmers Rd, play tennis 

in Palmers Rd and go to 

Brighton for shopping, library 

and art classes. 

I do not understand the city 

councils thoughts on this issue 

and I oppose it most strongly. 

For one thing, the closure would 

impact on my life as it would 

take me longer to get to any of 

the above locations and it would 

cost me more in petrol to travel 

• From page 1 

The exhibition will be on display 

until June 30. 

There will also be a ‘cup of tea’ 

morning on July 1 from 10am to 

noon with a talk from Canterbury 

Stories staff to finish the exhibition. 

“We’re really looking forward 

an alternative route. 

The council can not be listening 

to the residents of this area 

and they should be, as we are the 

voters that elect them onto the 

council. 

Thank you for the opportunity 

to have my say. 

-June Barns 

I’m having trouble understanding 

the article. To me it’s 

ambiguous. It states the plan has 

been signed off and a decision is 

yet to be made on the changes. 

Then it goes on to say nothing is 

confirmed. Perhaps I’m thick 

but it doesn’t make total sense to 

me. I’m against the closure of the 

road. What is the alternative? 

-Lorraine Kerry 

to the cup of tea morning, which 

should be a great and interactive 

session, showing customers how 

they can become part of the story,” 

Robertson said. 

“So if you have any tales of 

Linwood we should know about, 

please come along.” 

Thank you for your recent 

article in the Pegasus Post on Jo 

Zervos’s comments regarding the 

possible closure of New Brighton 

Rd. 

My family has also used New 

Brighton Rd for over 30 years. 

It is a direct route and very useful 

for many activities at New 

Brighton. 

Since the earthquakes it is also 

an aesthetically enjoyable route 

through the greenbelt area, and 

I believe that residents in the 

Eastern suburbs deserve some 

environmentally pleasant experiences 

in the neighbourhood. 

Closing New Brighton Road is 

not necessary and we need to be 

kept informed.

SING: The South Brighton Voices choir has been going since 1947 and has recently had an upsurge in new members. 

Upcoming concert a highlight 

for choir after last year’s lull 


COMMUNITY CHOIR group 

South Brighton Voices is teaming 

up with the New Zealand Male 

Choir for an afternoon of music. 

The two choirs will be joined 

by ladies tap dance group Molls 

Dolls at Rawhiti School on May 

28 at 3pm. 

South Brighton Voices president 

Beth Brixton said this is 

an exciting opportunity for the 

choir to perform with a larger 

group. 

“South Brighton Voices are 

enormously privileged and proud 

to be asked to join in performing 

with the New Zealand Male 

choir,” she said. 

South Brighton Voices has 

performed with two similar sized 

choirs of 35-40 members, one being 

the Chillingham Voices from 

New South Wales at the Piano. 

The choir has been around 

since 1947, when it was founded 

by South New Brighton School 

headmaster George Couch. 

“The first sessions were held in 

a classroom at the school, then 

later the community hall was 

built and became the base for 

the choir until the earthquakes 

deemed the building to be uninhabitable,” 

Brixton said. 

Following the earthquakes, the 

choir hired out different church 

halls and are now based at the 

New Brighton Union Church. 

Brixton said the choir is looking 

forward to performing once 

again, after having to cancel 

practices and three fundraising 

concerts last year. 

“We’ve missed singing at Sing- 

Fest in the city for two years now, 

which had enabled us to reach 

a wider audience and to experience 

other choirs around town,” 

Brixton said. 

“We fortunately can now look 

forward to performing three 

concerts in 2022.” 

During the lockdowns the 

choir had meetings over Zoom 

and continued to practise by 

singing along with YouTube or 

other musical instruments. 

The choir ranges from members 

in their early 40s to 90 and 

has recently had an upsurge in 

new members. 

“We are always open to encouraging 

new members to come 

along and join our friendly and 

happy group,” Brixton said. 

The concert will be held in the 

Rawhiti School Hall with ticket 

sales at the door. It is $20 for an 

adult ticket and primary and 

secondary pupils are free. Masks 

must be worn. 

Pavilion will 

recognise 

war veterans 

A TRADITIONAL Korean roofed 

pavilion to be installed in the 

Songpa-gu Garden at Halswell 

Quarry Park will commemorate 

Canterbury veterans of the Korean 

War. 

The pavilion (jeongja) is being 

shipped from Busan in Korea and 

on arrival at Lyttelton Port will be 

assembled at the quarry park and 

placed on the western side of the 

garden. The installation is planned 

to be completed by June. 

It will join existing monuments 

including a memorial bridge commemorating 

the Korean War and 

traditional Korean totem poles 

– a symbol of friendship between 

Christchurch and its sister city 

Songpa-gu. 

The Canterbury Korean War 

Veterans’ Pavilion will have plaques 

naming each veteran located under 

the overhang of the roof. 

More than 6000 New Zealanders 

served in Korea between 1950- 

57. Forty five men lost their lives 

during this engagement. 

“The jeongja honours the Korean 

War Veterans in Canterbury 

and their sacrifices made during 

the Korean War,” says Korean 

Society of Christchurch president 

and member of the Christchurch- 

Songpa-gu Sister City Committee, 

Mary Yoon. 

Songpa-gu Garden is 

maintained by members of the 

committee and the wider Korean 

community.

HOME & HEATING 

Keep cosy with 

RD Petroleum 

this winter 

Sticky date 

anything always 

seems to be a 

winner and this 

simple, luscious 

cake by Joan 

Bishop is no 

exception. It is 

light but at the same time 

quite densely moist. The 

dates enrich the cake’s deep, 

delectable texture and the 

grape juice provides the tang. 

PHOTO: CHRISTINE O’CONNOR/ODT 

Delicious sticky date 

cake a yummy treat 

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can 

become eligible for value-added benefits. 

For all enquiries please phone 

0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at 

https://www.rdp.co.nz/home-heating or 

signup at apply.rdp.co.nz/home-heating 

AS A child, I remember very vividly the 

warm, comforting and homely smell of 

baking wafting through the house. As 

a result of all this activity, the cake tins 

were always full, in spite of the fact that a 

number of ingredients were in short supply. 

Afternoon tea was always quite an 

occasion. Sometimes we accompanied our 

mother to what was essentially a ladies 

afternoon tea. 

We, the children, had our eyes glued to 

the tea trolly. What would we choose? 

I’ve recently talked to a number of 

friends about this and they too remember 

the rule. We were allowed to choose two 

pieces from the tea trolly and only two. 

This was the time when children were 

encouraged to be seen and not heard, so of 

course, there was no discussion on whether 

we liked what we had chosen. 

Sticky date and grape juice cake 

Makes 16 slices 

Ingredients 

270g pitted dates, halved 

250ml dark grape juice 

50g butter, roughly chopped 

2 Tbsp treacle 

120g dark cane or brown sugar 

¾ tsp baking soda 

2 large eggs, size 7, lightly beaten 

190g plain flour 

2 tsp ground allspice 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 170degC. 

Lightly oil the sides of a 20cm ring tin 

and line the base with non-stick baking 

paper. 

Combine the chopped dates and the 

grape juice in a microwave proof bowl. 

Cover and microwave on full power for 3 

minutes. 

Stir in the butter, treacle, dark cane sugar 

and baking soda. The baking soda will 

cause the mixture to froth up. 

Set the bowl aside to cool. 

Pour the lightly beaten eggs into the date 

mixture and stir to combine. In a mediumsized 

bowl sift together the flour and the 

allspice. Make a well in the centre and pour 

in the liquid ingredients. Stir gently until 

well combined. 

Pour into the prepared cake tin, smooth 

the top and bake in the preheated oven for 

35-40 minutes, or until the top feels firm 

to the touch and a skewer inserted into 

the centre of the cake comes out clean. To 

loosen, run a knife between the edge of the 

cake and the tin. 

Invert on to a plate. Peel off the baking 

paper then turn right side up on to a 

serving plate. Decorate with edible flowers 

if you wish. 

Serve just as it is or with whipped cream 

or yoghurt. Cuts into 16 slices. 

The cake will keep in a cool place in an 

airtight tin for about a week.


HOME & HEATING 

Get the balance 

right this winter 

Enviro Master has been helping 

Cantabrians get the balance right when it 

comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or 

air conditioning system for their home or 

office since 2002. 

Their team of expert sales people, qualified 

electricians, heating and refrigeration 

engineers, help to supply and install 

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps, 

and because they have no affiliation with any 

one brand, you can be assured their advice 

on the benefits and differences between each 

product is unbiased. 

They will recommend the most energyefficient 

and cost-effective system for your 

individual situation, and will have you 

regulating the heat in your home or office in 

no time. 

Nowadays, customers are often wanting 

whole home solutions to be able to maintain 

even temperatures throughout the home 

both in Winter and Summer. This can be 

achieved by using ducted systems or multi 

systems and Enviro Master are experts in 

designing, installing and commissioning 

these systems. 

Help is currently available with a 

government subsidy covering 80 per cent of 

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000. 

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi 

Homes initiative and is available to Home 

owner/occupiers with a Community 

Services Card, a SuperGold combo card or 

who live in a low-income area as determined 

by deciles 8-10 on the New Zealand 

Deprivation Index. 

The applicant’s home must also have been 

built before 2008, have insulation up to code 

(insulation subsidies also available) and have 

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an 

existing operational heat pump or fireplace. 

With new regulations now in place for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, 

it’s time to ensure you are meeting the new 

standards. 

Inadequate heating and ventilation can 

lead to mould growth and dampness in your 

property, leading to costlier maintenance 

and an unhealthy living environment. 

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat 

output and lower running costs, like a heat 

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the 

area effectively. Enviro Master are well 

experienced with the Tenancy Services 

software to ensure that you are meeting your 

requirements. 

To ensure you choose the right system 

for your home or business, one of Enviro 

Master’s experts will visit to assess your 

individual situation, offer advice and 

answer any questions you may have. This 

consultation is at no cost to the customer 

and is always provided before a heat pump is 

installed. 

Anyone wondering about their eligibility 

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to 

get in touch for details and help with the 

application process. To find out more, call 

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit 

their website www.enviromaster.co.nz
