Paddle to the metal<br />

on the lake – and surf<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

DYLAN MONK only took up<br />

flatwater kayaking to keep fit<br />

for surf life saving.<br />

But the 16-year-old is now<br />

one of New Zealand’s most<br />

promising sprint kayakers with<br />

15 national, Oceania and Asia<br />

Pacific titles 11 months after<br />

taking up the sport.<br />

“I only really started<br />

kayaking over the winter to<br />

improve my fitness and my<br />

paddling for surf ski,” the<br />

Shirley Boys’ High student said.<br />

“I got into it through surf<br />

life saving, which I’ve done for<br />

seven years.”<br />

The South Brighton surf life<br />

saver won the under-17 surf ski<br />

event at the Canterbury surf<br />

life saving championships in<br />

February – while training for<br />

sprint kayak events.<br />

Monk, who represents Arawa<br />

Canoe Club, had 20 podium<br />

finishes across under-16 and<br />

under-18 events at the New<br />

Zealand and Oceania canoe<br />

sprint championships and Asia<br />

Pacific Sprint Cup on Lake<br />

Karapiro two weeks ago.<br />

Architectural festival focuses on<br />

opening doors to Greater Brighton<br />

OPEN Christchurch, the<br />

annual festival of architectural<br />

excellence, is on this weekend,<br />

with a celebration of the city’s<br />

architecture and a special focus<br />

on buildings in Greater Brighton.<br />

The festival, presented by Te<br />

Pūtahi Centre for Architecture<br />

and City Making, takes a closer<br />

look at the city’s coastal identity<br />

through its architecture. Among<br />

the 50 buildings to feature in the<br />

programme are New Brighton<br />

Surf Life Saving Club, South<br />

Brighton Surf Life Saving Club,<br />

He Puna Taimoana and St<br />

Faith’s Church.<br />

This selection prompts<br />

attendees to consider the<br />

different approaches –<br />

historical and contemporary<br />

– to the demands of the seaside<br />

environment, in terms of design<br />

and materials.<br />

Each building has a<br />

unique story to tell. St Faith’s<br />

encapsulates the growth of<br />

the area as its congregation<br />

numbers swelled, leading<br />

to the construction of the<br />

current church, while He Puna<br />

Taimoana is a key post-quake<br />

catalyst building set to rejuvenate<br />

the area and connect it to both<br />

the coastal margin and the city<br />

around it.<br />

There are also activities<br />

running at each site that allow<br />

attendees to delve deeper into<br />

the spaces they are visiting. Free<br />

architectural tours are available<br />

at the surf clubs and the hot<br />

pools, in addition to team tours<br />

at the latter.<br />

In an effort to open the city to<br />

more people during the festival,<br />

Te Pūtahi has worked with<br />

partners in the disability sector<br />

and appointed an accessibility<br />

advisor. The <strong>2023</strong> programme<br />

features activities such as a<br />

guided walk through three New<br />

Brighton buildings, as well as<br />

improved accessibility information<br />

for all 50 buildings.<br />

Festival organisers invite one<br />

and all to come out and celebrate<br />

Greater Brighton’s architecture<br />

and the role these buildings play<br />

in the culture and life of the area.<br />

Apart from a handful of<br />

limited entry buildings and<br />

guided walks (which are $5<br />

plus booking fees), Open<br />

Christchurch is free. The<br />

programme includes more than<br />

30 activities – talks, tours and<br />

exhibitions.<br />

• For the full programme,<br />

City walking tracks<br />

added to app<br />

A WEBSITE and app for walkers<br />

to easily plan short and longdistance<br />

trips has added city<br />

council-managed tracks to its<br />

database.<br />

The parks and spatial teams<br />

worked with the New Zealand<br />

Mountain Safety Council to add<br />

the tracks to planmywalk.nz<br />

The MSC website and app<br />

contains essential track information<br />

such as length, terrain,<br />

location and difficulty; suggested<br />

gear lists; relevant track alerts;<br />

weather forecasts and reviews<br />

and advice from previous track<br />

users.<br />

City council head of regional<br />

parks Kay Holder said it was a<br />

valuable project to be part of.<br />

“The more that councils and<br />

other track and land managers<br />

get involved, the more comprehensive<br />

and accurate the walking<br />

database becomes for New Zealanders<br />

and tourists alike.<br />

“We’ll continue to assist by<br />

keeping MSC informed of new<br />

tracks, track maintenance and<br />

closures on the council’s track<br />

network,” she said.<br />

People can use it to plan their<br />

walk, including what gear and<br />

food to take and can share the<br />

trip plan with others for safety<br />

purposes.<br />

The app is believed to be the<br />

first of its kind, said MSC chief<br />

executive Mike Daisley.<br />

“Pulling together weather,<br />

HIKE: Information about<br />

tracks across the city<br />

can now be found at<br />

planmywalk.nz/tracks<br />

PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />

track alerts, gear lists, and then<br />

being able to put all that into a<br />

plan and share it with a trusted<br />

contact – that’s a first. Plan My<br />

Walk enables users to be more<br />

aware and educated, and therefore<br />

more able to proactively<br />

plan and manage their personal<br />

safety,” he says.<br />

The app is funded, owned and<br />

run by MSC, which spent more<br />

than 1000 hours on research and<br />

development and launched it in<br />

2021.<br />

MSC recently gained funding<br />

from Herenga ā Nuku, the<br />

Outdoor Access Commission, to<br />

complete further development<br />

work over the next two years.<br />

Young kayaker sets<br />

sights on Olympics<br />

•From page 1<br />

“It was such a good experience.<br />

Hopefully I can just continue<br />

with it,” the Shirley Boys’ High<br />

student said.<br />

The four-day event saw Monk<br />

represent Arawa and New<br />

Zealand against competitors<br />

from New Zealand, Singapore,<br />

Japan and Australia. Alongside<br />

eight national titles, Monk<br />

also won the 16-and-under K1<br />

(single) 500m, K1 200m and K4<br />

(four-person) 200m races at the<br />

Oceania championships, and<br />

the K1 500m and K4 200m for<br />

New Zealand in the Asia Pacific<br />

Sprint Cup.<br />

Although Monk always<br />

believed some of his team boats<br />

would do well, he was surprised<br />

by some of his personal results.<br />

“In some of the individual<br />

ones, like the 500m, and especially<br />

the (individual) 200m race,<br />

I didn’t expect to win,” he said.<br />

Monk also won a national title<br />

with his younger brother Lewis,<br />

14, in the 16-and-under K2<br />

(double) 500m race. “It was really<br />

good – and obviously winning<br />

was a bonus as well,” he said.<br />

With the kayaking race season<br />

over until December, Monk will<br />

continue to train six days a week<br />

in a bid to represent New Zealand<br />

again in the summer.<br />

“I’d like to qualify for the next<br />

Asia Pacific championships, and<br />

maybe the junior world champs<br />

the year after,” he said.<br />

Monk has taken a similar<br />

path to five-time Olympic gold<br />

medallist Lisa Carrington,<br />

who also took<br />

up to kayaking<br />

as a surf life<br />

saver. The idea<br />

of representing<br />

New Zealand at<br />

the Olympics is<br />

in Monk’s sights<br />

Lisa<br />

Carrington<br />

– but not in his<br />

immediate future<br />

just yet.<br />

“I’ll just have to take it year-byyear<br />

and see where it takes me.”<br />

BOWLED: Breanna Sampson will be the first tenpin bowler from<br />

Canterbury to represent New Zealand since Dan Ellis (inset) went to the<br />

world champs.<br />

Tenpin bowler<br />

to strike on<br />

the world stage<br />

• By Glenn Matthews<br />

BREANNA Sampson has become<br />

the first bowler from Canterbury to<br />

be selected for a New Zealand tenpin<br />

bowling squad since Dan Ellis went to<br />

the world champs in 2018.<br />

Sampson, 19, (right) has been on the<br />

radar of Tenpin Bowling NZ since last<br />

year when she was selected to travel to a<br />

training squad camp in Manakau. Since<br />

then the Linwood resident has continued<br />

to fine-tune her game.<br />

She will join her New Zealand team<br />

on <strong>May</strong> 18 for the Sydney Youth Champs<br />

before heading to Bangkok for the Asian<br />

Youth Championships from July 4-12.<br />

“When (TBNZ chief executive)<br />

Stephen Penney phoned I was nervous<br />

but that turned to shock when I found<br />

out I had been selected,’ Sampson said.<br />

“I was super happy and felt like I<br />

wanted to cry, happy tears of course.<br />

“To follow in the footsteps of<br />

some former team-mates of mine in<br />

Christchurch and, of course, my coach<br />

here is a huge honour.”<br />

Sampson is aware of what lies ahead<br />

for her.<br />

“I know that I must work hard<br />

and bowl the best I can now as I am<br />

representing New Zealand. I see this as a<br />

potential stepping-stone towards making<br />

a full adult New Zealand team once I age<br />

out of the youth ranks (at 21).”<br />

Having coach Claire Gow with her in<br />

Sydney certainly eases Sampson’s nerves.<br />

“I have the confidence to turn to her if<br />

something isn’t quite right because she<br />

has been my coach for several years.”<br />

It helps that some of her team-mates<br />

are what she calls “lifelong friends” from<br />

bowling tournaments she has competed<br />

at around the country.<br />

New Brighton Masterplan Update<br />

City Councillor Celeste Donovan has<br />

received a lot of feedback for council<br />

to support the redevelopment of the<br />

shopping mall as part of the New<br />

Brighton Masterplan.<br />

“I’ve asked council to bring forward<br />

$300k of funding as part of this year’s<br />

Annual Plan to get started on designs<br />

to upgrade the pedestrian and public<br />

spaces, linking with the $2.3 million<br />

‘Village Green’ Greater New Brighton<br />

proposal. The ‘Village Green’ concept<br />

will turn 1000m₂ of vacant land behind<br />

Marine Parade’s Pier side building into<br />

a place where people can gather, with<br />

a stage for music, a stall for events and<br />

other activities including the market.<br />

It aims to draw beach and hot pools<br />

visitors into the commercial hub area.<br />

Working with private landlords<br />

and retailers is a key step towards<br />

establishing this redeveloped space<br />

as an activity centre for the eastern<br />

suburbs.” Councillor Donovan says.<br />

Donovan states that the current<br />

vacant and derelict land contributing to<br />

negative perceptions and holding back<br />

development in the New Brighton Mall<br />

has prompted her to ask Council to<br />

consider extending a new rating scheme<br />

to the New Brighton pedestrian mall.<br />

This rating scheme currently trialled<br />

in the central city, charges higher rates<br />

on landowners within the retail space<br />

making no attempt to develop, improve<br />

or maintain vacant and derelict sites.<br />

Another Coastal priority is getting<br />

progress on the replacement of Pages<br />

Road Bridge, Southshore and South<br />

New Brighton Estuary Edge, as well as<br />

long overdue repairs to roads, footpaths,<br />

and basic infrastructure.<br />

Councillor Donovan says the<br />

completion of other stormwater and<br />

flood protection works, including<br />

the Waitaki stormwater basin and<br />

flood management area beside Anzac<br />

Drive and Pages Road, will also be an<br />

important step forward.<br />

She says: “Although the submission<br />

period has now closed for the Annual<br />

Plan, it’s really important that people<br />

continue to make contact with<br />

me or Coastal Community Board<br />

representatives to have their say on the<br />

issues that matter to them”.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Get the balance<br />

right this winter<br />

Enviro Master has been helping Cantabrians<br />

get the balance right when it comes to<br />

choosing the perfect heat pump or air<br />

conditioning system for their home or office<br />

since 2002.<br />

Their team of expert sales people, qualified<br />

electricians, heating and refrigeration<br />

engineers, help to supply and install<br />

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,<br />

and because they have no affiliation with any<br />

one brand, you can be assured their advice<br />

on the benefits and differences between each<br />

product is unbiased.<br />

They will recommend the most energyefficient<br />

and cost-effective system for your<br />

individual situation, and will have you<br />

regulating the heat in your home or office in<br />

no time.<br />

Nowadays, customers are often wanting<br />

whole home solutions to be able to maintain<br />

even temperatures throughout the home both<br />

in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved<br />

by using ducted systems or multi systems<br />

and Enviro Master are experts in designing,<br />

installing and commissioning these systems.<br />

Help is currently available with a<br />

government subsidy covering 80 per cent of<br />

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.<br />

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi<br />

Homes initiative and is available to Home<br />

owner/occupiers with a Community Services<br />

Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in<br />

a low-income area as determined by deciles<br />

8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />

The applicant’s home must also have been<br />

built before 2008, have insulation up to code<br />

(insulation subsidies also available) and have<br />

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an<br />

existing operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />

With new regulations now in place for<br />

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, it’s<br />

time to ensure you are meeting the new<br />

standards.<br />

Inadequate heating and ventilation can<br />

lead to mould growth and dampness in your<br />

property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />

and an unhealthy living environment.<br />

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />

output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />

area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />

experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />

software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />

requirements.<br />

To ensure you choose the right system<br />

for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />

Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />

individual situation, offer advice and<br />

answer any questions you may have. This<br />

consultation is at no cost to the customer<br />

and is always provided before a heat pump is<br />

installed.<br />

Anyone wondering about their eligibility<br />

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to<br />

get in touch for details and help with the<br />

application process. To find out more, call<br />

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit<br />

their website www.enviromaster.co.nz<br />

Keep cosy with<br />

RD Petroleum<br />

this winter<br />

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />

for farm and rural residents around the<br />

Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />

residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />

customer service for which RDP is known for<br />

in rural communities, through their home<br />

heating diesel.<br />

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />

service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />

and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />

Customer demand has continued to increase<br />

year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />

with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />

equipment.<br />

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />

means they have the latest communication<br />

and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />

the operations team always know where they<br />

are and how far away they are from their next<br />

delivery stop.<br />

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />

equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />

through which the diesel is pumped from<br />

the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />

without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />

you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />

become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />

For all enquiries please phone<br />

0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at<br />
