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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
