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 />

PHOTOS: NATE TURNER<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 />

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 />

with a time of 1hr 12m 46sec.<br />

STAC’s Connor Walsh was<br />

second in the intermediate<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 />
