iSPORT: Wharenui<br />
Primary School pupil<br />

Next generation of legends step up<br />
• By John Spurdle<br />
WHARENUI Primary School<br />
pupils got to train with Richie<br />
McCaw last week.<br />
They were part of a group of<br />
several Christchurch schools<br />
taking part in an Active Kids<br />
initiative at Hagley Oval, held<br />
by McCaw and fellow rugby<br />
legend Dan Carter’s charity the<br />
iSPORT Foundation.<br />
The foundation encourages<br />
children to enjoy the outdoors<br />
and engage in sport and<br />
physical activities.<br />
“I just know the power<br />
of sport . . . on kids, on<br />
health, on everything in their<br />
communities,” McCaw said.<br />
“If we can encourage kids<br />
to give it a go and get involved,<br />
that’s got to be good for<br />
our society. And it gives the<br />
next generation the chance<br />
to do something I’m<br />
passionate about.”<br />
Many clubs, community<br />
groups and schools have limited<br />
sports equipment and financial<br />
resources to get their young<br />
people active.<br />
The foundation visits groups<br />
in need of support, providing<br />
them with sports equipment<br />
and opportunities.<br />
Ambassadors say there are big<br />
positive health benefits to active<br />
play – helping build critical<br />
and creative thinkers, inspiring<br />
curiosity, building resilience<br />
and encouraging more effective<br />
learning.<br />
Wharenui pupils relished the<br />
event.<br />
“It was pretty good because I<br />
got to meet a lot of nice people,”<br />
said pupil Mikaiah Tanielu.<br />
Similarly, Flynn Wise was<br />
proud of his achievements.<br />
“I smashed the ball against<br />
the wickets, and I smashed<br />
some big hits and made my<br />
friends run,” he said.<br />
McCaw believes if we can get<br />
children moving while they are<br />
young, the effects can be lifechanging,<br />
sparking a lifelong<br />
passion for sport and an active<br />
lifestyle.<br />

Rock riffle to help movement of fish<br />
A NATURALISED rock riffle<br />
being installed in the Ōtākaro-<br />
Avon River near Mona Vale<br />
Homestead will help native and<br />
sport fish easily move to and<br />
from the river’s upper catchment.<br />
The rock riffle has been<br />
specifically designed for New<br />
Zealand’s fish species and will be<br />
similar to those seen in nature.<br />
A naturalised rock riffle<br />
is a long ramp with a gentle<br />
gradient. Rocks are strategically<br />
placed to allow for a wide<br />
range of flow conditions to<br />
cater to the variety of weak and<br />
strong swimming fish species.<br />
Larger emergent boulders are<br />
also placed in the waterway in<br />
clusters to create resting places<br />
for fish and spawning habitat for<br />
invertebrates.<br />
It will be installed over the<br />
existing weir. Work began last<br />
month and is expected to take<br />
six months to complete.<br />
Said city council spokesman<br />
Gavin Hutchison: “Barriers to<br />
movement in waterways have<br />
been identified as a significant<br />
threat to both native and sports<br />
fish in New Zealand.”<br />
More than 76 per cent of<br />
New Zealand’s living native<br />
freshwater fish are classified<br />
as threatened with or at risk<br />
of extinction, Department of<br />
Conservation figures show.<br />
“The remediation of this<br />
weir will allow access to<br />
approximately 9km of waterway<br />
upstream of the weir and<br />
increase migration, diversity<br />
and abundance of ika in the<br />
upper river’s catchment,” said<br />
Hutchison.<br />
“Limited passage of brown<br />
trout occurs at this weir but<br />
likely not full passage. In<br />
addition, the weir is a barrier to<br />
many of our native ika (fish) who<br />
are poor swimmers, in particular<br />
inanga (whitebait), bluegill bully<br />
and lamprey, which all have<br />
conservation status.<br />
“The native fish are unable<br />
to swim or jump through the<br />
barrier and that’s why we find<br />
very few native species in the<br />
waterways upstream.”<br />
More than half of New<br />
Zealand’s native fish species<br />
travel back and forth from<br />
freshwater to the sea to complete<br />
their life cycle. The new rock<br />
riffle will enable easy access to<br />
upstream waterways.<br />
It will be similar to a rock riffle<br />
previously installed near the<br />
Antigua Boatsheds.<br />
The history of the Mona Vale<br />
weir dates back to the 1860s<br />
when the Deans family leased<br />
six acres of their land adjoining<br />
the Avon River loop (including<br />
water rights) to William Derisley<br />
Wood for the construction of a<br />
flour mill.<br />
In November 1860 Wood<br />
called for tenders from ditchers<br />
and excavators to cut the<br />
mill race across the river, and<br />
construction began around<br />
FLOW: A naturalised rock<br />
riffle being installed in<br />
the Ōtākaro-Avon River<br />
near Mona Vale will allow<br />
fish such as brown trout<br />
access to 9km of waterways<br />
upstream.<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
February 1861.<br />
In order for the mill race<br />
to obtain a sufficient flow of<br />
water to turn the mill’s wheel,<br />
Wood was required to install a<br />
weir within the channel of the<br />
Avon River loop as a means of<br />
controlling the water flow.<br />
Extensive repairs to the<br />
original timber weir were carried<br />
out in 1939 and the existing<br />
concrete weir was renewed by the<br />
Christchurch Drainage Board in<br />
the mid-1980s.<br />

Young band flying high<br />
after ‘bloody brilliant’ festival<br />
• By Darryl Baser<br />
YOUNG BAND Zephyr are<br />
on cloud nine after playing to<br />
thousands of people at Selwyn<br />
Sounds.<br />
The members are all in year<br />
13, with drummer Mya Cawood,<br />
17, at Avonside Girls’ High,<br />
guitarist Reuben Anderson, 17,<br />
at Christchurch Boys’ High, and<br />
bassist Scarlett Robson, 17, and<br />
singer Cleo Cavell, 16, both at<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High.<br />
Cawood said playing to<br />
between 4000 and 5000 people<br />
was “bloody brilliant.”<br />
“We played well as a band<br />
and met a lot of amazing<br />
people – Dave Dobbyn, Mi-Sex,<br />
Greg Johnson, he was a bit of a<br />
favourite, he was a really nice<br />
man. Sometimes I pinched<br />
myself and thought: ‘What are<br />
we doing here?’<br />
“It was such an amazing<br />
opportunity, really.”<br />
Cawood had a great time in<br />
the band’s engine room, keeping<br />
her mates in time from her<br />
throne on the drums.<br />
“We played perfectly,<br />
everything went as planned, it<br />
was a really good experience<br />
being here. All thanks to David<br />
Parlane.”<br />
The band was chosen to open<br />
the day-long Selwyn Sounds<br />
music festival at Lincoln Domain<br />
on Saturday by promoter and<br />
festival director David Parlane.<br />
Cawood said it was an exciting<br />
experience.<br />
“It really does amp you up<br />
playing to a bigger crowd, gets<br />
you really excited, it is so good.”<br />
Said Anderson: “It went about<br />
as well as it could have, we all<br />
played really well, I’m proud of<br />
the rest of the band.<br />
“We’re really thankful to him,<br />
we really appreciate it.”<br />
Robson said playing in front<br />
of a big crowd was a big step<br />
forward for the band.<br />
“The energy is completely<br />
different, it was full on – so<br />
much fun.”<br />
They estimated 4000 to 5000<br />
people when they went on stage<br />
at 10.50am.<br />
“It was about 10 times bigger<br />
than the biggest crowd we<br />
played to when we played at<br />
the Rockquest finals last year,”<br />
Anderson said.<br />
When 80s band Blam Blam<br />
Blam took the stage after<br />
Zephyr’s set, they mingled with<br />
BEAT: Drummer Mya<br />
Cawood said playing in<br />
front of the big crowd at<br />
Selwyn Sounds was an<br />
“amazing opportunity.”<br />
the crowd and received many<br />
positive comments.<br />
Said Robson: “When we were<br />
playing, we got some good claps<br />
and ‘whoops’ and what not. Then<br />
afterwards, when we went out<br />
into the crowds, people stopped<br />
us and gave us really nice<br />
compliments. That was really<br />
nice to hear.”<br />
They agreed playing on the<br />
same stage at Sir Dave Dobbyn,<br />
Gin Wigmore, Stellar*, Greg<br />
Johnson, and Hoodoo Gurus<br />
was the definite highlight of their<br />
career to date.<br />
The band plays at The Bower<br />
in North New Brighton each<br />
Sunday as part of a three-month<br />
residency.<br />
Playing at Selwyn Sounds and<br />
at The Bower every weekend will<br />
help their career.<br />
Said Anderson: “I think it’ll<br />
really help us get out into the<br />
local music scene.<br />
“A lot of people who watched<br />
us were from Christchurch and<br />
the surrounding area. I think<br />
it’ll really help our publicity. As<br />
Scarlett said, so many people<br />
came up to us afterwards and<br />
said how much they enjoyed our<br />
set.<br />
“We had a lot of people say<br />
they’re going to come to our next<br />
gig and they’re going to look out<br />
for us. It is really encouraging to<br />
hear that people are digging the<br />
sort of music we’re playing.”<br />
Zephyr played some Led<br />
Zeppelin and Blondie covers,<br />
as well as their own originals<br />
during the 40-minute set at<br />
Lincoln.<br />
•Zephyr will be playing<br />
at The Bower beer garden<br />
from 1pm on Sunday.<br />

Gary’s commitment to breathwork<br />
sees him acknowledged by peers<br />
IF YOU had asked a young Gary<br />
Syme what he had imagined<br />
for his retirement, he would<br />
not have pictured receiving<br />
a national award honouring<br />
his services to the respiratory<br />
community.<br />
Gary received an award in<br />
the Asthma and Respiratory<br />
Foundation’s respiratory achievers’<br />
awards for his community<br />
service to those with chronic<br />
obstructive pulmonary disorder.<br />
As well as working on his own<br />
fitness, he began to share the<br />
benefits of exercise by volunteering<br />
to run a community exercise<br />
group for people with COPD in<br />
Bishopdale.<br />
Gary was diagnosed with<br />
COPD himself five years ago,<br />
which marked a new chapter in<br />
his life.<br />
“It was a surprise diagnosis,<br />
although my father had experienced<br />
similar issues later in<br />
his life. My GP sent me along to<br />
the eight-week breathing programme<br />
run by the Canterbury<br />
Clinical Network and that was<br />
what got me started on my journey,”<br />
he said.<br />
Having not been particularly<br />
physically active previously, the<br />
course opened his eyes to the<br />
benefits of exercise in managing<br />
his condition and getting more<br />
out of life.<br />
Said Gary: “COPD can make<br />
you very tired and exercise<br />
combats that tiredness. If you<br />
do nothing, it makes it so much<br />
worse physically and you can fall<br />
into a deep, dark hole mentally.<br />
But if you push through that<br />
malaise barrier, you feel so much<br />
better.”<br />
The group he is involved<br />
with in Bishopdale started with<br />
five people, before Covid and<br />
lockdowns arrived and it was<br />
disbanded.<br />
Said Gary: “We got funding<br />
to restart it in 2020 and it began<br />
to grow. The group now has 20<br />
to 25 regular participants and is<br />
now self-sufficient after losing<br />
funding last year.”<br />
The group participants<br />
collectively nominated Gary<br />
for the COPD category of<br />
the respiratory awards. They<br />
credit its ongoing success to his<br />
welcoming, friendly attitude and<br />
dedication to running varied,<br />
fun sessions.<br />
In return, the group gives him<br />
a lot of enjoyment, as well as a<br />
something to keep him busy in<br />
his retirement.<br />
“It has become my passion.<br />
I’ve enjoyed researching how to<br />
make the group as beneficial as<br />
possible. It’s become a well-being<br />
group; we do brain games, hand<br />
exercises, yoga, anything that<br />
improves overall health.”<br />
The group also attracts people<br />
who don’t have COPD but want<br />
to exercise in a non-judgemental<br />
space.<br />
“I want it to be open to everyone,”<br />
said Gary.<br />
HONOURED: Group exercise<br />
facilitator Gary Syme has<br />
received a national award<br />
for his services to those<br />
with chronic obstructive<br />
pulmonary disorder.<br />

“I understand it can be hard to<br />
get moving, but it’s so rewarding<br />
when you see those people who<br />
are struggling, keep coming<br />
back.”<br />

Riccarton, CGHS claim titles<br />
at volleyball championships<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
RICCARTON and Christchurch<br />
Girls’ High Schools both<br />
took out division 1 titles<br />
at the mainland volleyball<br />
championships over the<br />
weekend.<br />
In the boys’ division 1, Riccarton<br />
beat Waimea College 3-0<br />
(25-22, 25-19, 25-23) to win their<br />
first mainland title since 2016,<br />
dropping just two sets throughout<br />
the tournament.<br />
Riccarton won all their<br />
matches on Friday and were<br />
particularly dominant on Saturday,<br />
winning all four matches in<br />
three sets.<br />
Burnside’s senior A boys came<br />
back from losing their first two<br />
sets in the third-place playoff<br />
to win 3-2 (12-25, 22-25, 25-12,<br />
25-18, 16-14) against Dunedin’s<br />
King’s High School.<br />
Last year’s winners, Cashmere<br />
High, struggled to gain momentum<br />
after they lost their first two<br />
matches. They only managed<br />
to finish eighth after they were<br />
defeated in the seventh-place<br />
play-offs by Christ’s College.<br />
CGHS won the girls’ division<br />
1 for the first time in a four-set<br />
final against rivals St Margaret’s<br />
CHAMPIONS: Riccarton High School’s senior A volleyball team won the boys’ division 1 at<br />
the mainland volleyball championships for the first time since 2016. <br />
(25-18, 25-23, 23-25, 27-25) on<br />
Sunday, while 2022 champions,<br />
Burnside High, finished third.<br />
CGHS coach Mark Norton<br />
said his team have had a unsettled<br />
build-up to this month’s<br />
tournaments after losing three<br />
key players, who graduated from<br />
school last year.<br />
“However this has demanded<br />
that we focus hard and train<br />
with intensity when we are in the<br />
volleyball gym.”<br />
“(Sunday’s) final was extremely<br />
close, but everyone in the team<br />
played well in their own role and<br />
we were very well led by captain<br />
Angela Reupena,” he said.<br />
Norton added the team is<br />
beginning to understand what’s<br />
required to play at the highest<br />
level, and as a result, have made<br />
considerable progress since the<br />
start of the year.<br />
Seventy-seven teams from<br />
across the South Island played<br />
at Pioneer Stadium, Wharenui<br />
Stadium, Cowles Stadium, the<br />
Selwyn Sports Centre and at<br />
CGHS on Friday and Saturday.<br />
Teams will now switch<br />
their focus to the Canterbury<br />
secondary school championships<br />
next weekend, which along<br />
with Monday night games will<br />
determine seedings for the<br />
New Zealand secondary school<br />
championships on <strong>March</strong> 27-31.<br />

Strong triathlon for Rangi, St Andrew’s<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
RANGI RURU Girls’ School<br />
and St Andrew’s College<br />
triathletes are eyeing up the<br />
national champs after a strong<br />
performance at the South Island<br />
secondary schools competition.<br />
The Oamaru Multisport<br />
Club hosted the South Island<br />
secondary schools triathlon<br />
on Sunday alongside the 39th<br />
annual Oamaru Triathlon.<br />
STAC and Rangi Ruru were<br />
successful in the junior and<br />
intermediate grades, which<br />
consisted of a 300m harbour<br />
swim, 12km cycle and 2.5km<br />
run to the finish line. Rangi<br />
Ruru’s Kate Sharpe finished<br />
second in the junior girls’ event<br />
with a time of 41m 40sec, while<br />
Charlotte Chiles was second<br />
in the intermediate girls’ race<br />
and fourth overall with a time<br />
of 35m 46sec. Charlotte’s good<br />
form continued after she won<br />
the under-16 girls’ secondary<br />
schools Challenge Wānaka last<br />
month.<br />
Rangi Ruru’s Finella<br />
Guttmann finished second in<br />
the senior girls’ category, which<br />
consisted of a 750m harbour<br />
swim, 20km cycle and 5km run,<br />
with a time of 1hr 12m 46sec.<br />
STAC’s Connor Walsh was<br />
second in the intermediate<br />
boys’ race with a time of 34m<br />
27sec and second overall out<br />
of the junior and intermediate<br />
athletes. Sophie Lampe (STAC)<br />
won the junior girls event in a<br />
time of 38m 39sec and was 11th<br />
overall.<br />
The athletes are now preparing<br />
for the New Zealand schools<br />
triathlon championships at<br />
Glendhu Bay, Wānaka, from<br />
<strong>March</strong> 30-31. Students can<br />
take part in the triathlon as an<br />
individual or team, or in the super<br />
sprint mixed team relay, open<br />
water swim or team aquathon.<br />
REPRESENT: Rangi Ruru’s Kate Sharpe, Charlotte Chiles<br />
and Finella Guttmann all finished second in their events at<br />
the South Island secondary schools triathlon.<br />
Right – Chiles (front) on the cycle leg of the South Island<br />
