Former 

soldier’s 

tribute 

brightens 

cabinet 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

A COLOURFUL tribute to 

New Zealand and Australian 

soldiers is catching the eye 

of people on Pages Rd, 

Wainoni. 

Former solider Chris Solly 

(right) has been busy painting 

his Anzac tribute on the Chorus 

cabinet near the Christchurch 

Memorial RSA social housing. 

Solly’s design, which features 

a scene from the Battle of The 

Somme, was chosen by the 

city council’s graffiti team 

through the Chorus cabinet art 

initiative. 

The project sees local 

artists commissioned to paint 

their designs on Chorus 

telecommunications cabinets. 

Graffiti Projects co-ordinator 

Mel Hillier said the city council 

had 54 submissions for the 

cabinet project this year, the 

highest number ever received. 

Ten winning designs were 

selected. 

“Each one has its own unique 

story, and placement of painting 

has been thought about to 

showcase the design. We have 

placed each design on a cabinet 

location that will best show off 

the design’s uniqueness,” she 

said. 

Hillier said nine of the 

cabinets are in areas identified 

as highly targeted for tagging 

and graffiti. 

Solly said he was thrilled to 

have his submission accepted. 

“My design commemorates 

New Zealanders and 

Australians who served and 

died in all wars, conflict, and 

peace-keeping operations and 

the contributions and suffering 

of all those who have served. 

“As an ex-serviceman, this 

work has deep meaning for 

me.”

‘Girly girl’ butcher slices 

her way to success 

SAM CHAPMAN, a trainee 

butcher from New World 

Prestons, sliced and diced her 

way to win the Upper South 

Island heat of the ANZCO 

Butchery Apprentice of the Year 

competition. 

The 31-year-old from Aranui 

has worked in the butchery 

industry for 16 years and is in 

her final year of the Foodstuffs 

butcher apprentice programme. 

Chapman said she proudly 

identifies as a “girly girl 

butcher” in an industry often 

perceived as masculine. 

“I think there’s this 

preconceived notion that female 

butchers can be ‘tomboyish’ 

but I’m the complete opposite. 

I would never act like anyone 

other than myself,” she said. 

This year marked the second 

time Chapman has entered the 

competition. 

“I took on all the judges 

feedback from last time and 

came in as prepared as possible. 

My hands did start shaking at 

one point, but only because I 

wanted to keep my standards up 

from last year,” she said. 

The ANZCO foods butchery 

apprentice of the year event is 

an annual competition that puts 

the technical and creative skills 

of young butchers to the test. 

Within a tight two-hour 

time frame, competitors are 

tasked with breaking down an 

entire lamb leg, pork loin, beef 

rump and size 20 chicken into a 

display of value-added products 

all 

while under the watchful eye of 

judges. 

Creativity is encouraged, and 

Chapman’s perfectly executed 

compulsory cuts and unique use 

of pastries impressed the judges. 

Chapman competed in the 

national final in Auckland at 

the weekend, which was won 

by Motueka apprentice Morgan 

Moore. 

“It’s so cool to see the industry 

beginning to shift towards 

having more female butchers.” 

Chapman said.

Sam Chapman has won the 

Upper South Island heat of 

the ANZCO apprentice of 

the year competition.

THEN AND NOW: St Albans Primary School in 1890, its old entrance, and the school today. 

School prepares for 150th jubilee 

• By Briar Allen 

CELEBRATING the past, the 

present and the future, people 

a part of the St Albans Primary 

School community are invited to 

its 150th jubilee. 

The school was founded in 

1873, and teacher Sam Pelham 

said they are looking forward to 

the weekend of celebrations on 

September 15-17. 

“We are really excited, it is 

really awesome to be able to 

connect with the community 

through the past, present and 

the future of the school, we value 

those connections,” she said. 

Celebrations include school 

tours, performances, and the 

tree and time capsule planting 

on Friday. On Saturday, tickets 

are available for $25 to attend a 

morning tea, or $75 to attend the 

evening celebrations. On Sunday, 

there will be a gala with food 

trucks and a community picnic 

with musical performances. 

“It is a wonderful way to celebrate 

the community and how 

strong they have been. 

“It is also nice to be able to celebrate 

with so many people post 

Covid-19,” said Pelham. 

In the lead-up to the official 

celebration, the school has been 

holding activities, such as a 

Back in Time Day where pupils 

and staff dressed up as it was 

150 years ago. 

Pelham said it was a fabulous 

day and the children loved the 

authenticity, as the teachers 

made an effort to act like how it 

was back then. 

“We used chalk instead of a 

whiteboard, had them sitting in 

rows, I don’t think we have had 

such quiet classrooms. It was 

really cool to see them playing 

old games like knucklebones and 

marbles under the oak tree.” 

She said current tamariki 

interviewed past students – with 

the eldest being 96 – and many 

remembered playing marbles 

under the same oak tree. 

The school has also been 

preparing a time capsule to bury 

and each pupil is contributing 

something to it. 

“About 550 items will be added 

to the capsule, some things 

include drawings, fingerprint 

paintings and pictures of children 

with their favourite toy. 

It allows the children to leave 

behind a legacy and represents 

them looking to the future.” 

Another time capsule was 

buried about the time of the 

125th anniversary, but Pelham 

said they have dug up the whole 

field and not managed to find 

it, so the latest one will be well 

documented. 

She said the jubilee and learning 

about their cultural narrative 

is important for staff and pupils, 

as it ties them to the past and 

shows them where they have 

come from. 

“It is a beautiful story to learn, 

it allows us to reflect on how 

things weren’t always like this 

and how life was back then. 

“All these people have one 

thing that connects them and 

that is the school, they have all 

gone on to live very different 

lives but are connected by their 

time here.” 

• Tickets can be 

purchased from 

events.humanitix.

can be found on the 

school’s website 

Chorus cabinet one of 10 winning designs 

• From page 1 

Solly is a former member of the 

2nd/1st Battalion. He has served 

on active deployments overseas, 

including working with the 

United Nations in Bosnia in the 

1990s. 

He has included The Ode of 

Remembrance on the cabinet, in 

both english and te reo māori. 

The cabinet’s location near the 

Christchurch Memorial RSA 

social housing was the perfect 

location for his design, he said. 

Chorus’ cabinet art initiative 

began in 2010 with a test pilot 

in Auckland to try to reduce 

the amount of vandalism to 

telecommunications cabinets. 

It was extended throughout the 

country and an average of 170 

murals are now completed each 

year. 

The programme helps promote 

a sense of community belonging, 

identity and pride while also 

helping to discourage anti-social 

behaviour.

KIND DONATION: Bishopdale-Burnside Rotary president 

Rod Finch hands over the keys to Dementia Canterbury 

chief executive officer Darral Campbell. 

Donation for 

dementia 

DEMENTIA Canterbury 

has a new car courtesy of the 

Bishopdale-Burnside Rotary Club. 

Club president Rod Finch said 

due to the amazing support the 

club receives from the public 

they were able to donate a Suzuki 

Baleno. 

“The support from the public 

when we run our annual 

Bookarama has meant we have 

been able to undertake a number 

of meaningful community 

projects, such as providing this 

much needed vehicle for Dementia 

Canterbury,” he said. 

Dementia Canterbury provides 

services that include home visits 

for assessment and support, cognitive 

stimulation, activity and 

support groups, community cafes 

and education to a diverse range 

of groups. 

Dementia Canterbury chief 

executive officer Darral Campbell 

said the new car will be used by 

staff to help them reach out to the 

community. 

“We are very grateful for this 

generous donation from the 

Bishopdale-Burnside Rotary. 

Club. The new vehicle will be 

used by our staff when they 

deliver a range of services in 

Christchurch and the wider 

Canterbury region.” 

A ROLE in his primary school production 

led to a passion for dance for Ilam teenager 

Josh Bautista – and he has now qualified for 

the Hip Hop Unite World Championships. 

Josh, 16, was signed up for hip hop lessons 

by his brother after the school production. 

It has led to him winning gold medals with 

the A1 dance crew and his duo TakTik at the 

Hip Hop Unite New Zealand Championships 

in Wellington. 

Josh said it was unreal to qualify for the 

world championships, which are being held 

in Portugal in October. 

“The studio I am dancing at currently, Ace 

Dance Studios, is only in its second year. It is 

also crazy how I and 20 other dancers were 

chosen to represent New Zealand.” 

Josh said it has been a great challenge 

managing his time as he practises, works 

part time at Taco Bell and attends St Thomas 

of Canterbury College. 

He said he joined dance as a hobby and 

now it is taking him to places he never 

thought he would go, especially at a young 

age. 

He also said sometimes guys like him in 

hip-hop still get criticised. 

“That is due to old-school ideas about 

gender roles. Even though they have added 

a ton to the scene, male dancers sometimes 

get side-eyed. I personally think dance can 

be for anyone as there are even styles that 

compliment masculinity.” 

Josh is fundraising to get to the world 

championships. TakTik will be performing 

at the Riccarton Sunday market and will 

have a table selling ice-cream and brownies.

Marina to get the axe 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

WORK TO remove Lyttelton’s Magazine 

Bay marina starts in September. 

“The structure has been deteriorating 

for some time and is beginning to present 

safety and environmental risks,” said city 

council head of parks Andrew Rutledge. 

The removal of Magazine Bay marina 

was approved by the city council in 

January 2021, as part of the wider Naval 

Point Te Nukutai o Tapoa Development 

Plan. 

“We’ve been working with berth 

holders over the last few years as they 

have found alternative arrangements for 

their boats,” said Rutledge. 

Lyttelton Port Company built a new 

marina – Te Ana – in Lyttelton’s inner 

harbour in 2018, which is available 

for public use and offers a sheltered 

position from weather events and coastal 

conditions. 

Fulton Hogan will carry out the marina 

demolition work, which is expected to 

be finished before the end of the year. 

The majority of the $631,000 project will 

be financed through the Government’s 

Better Off funding package. 

“A small section of the marina will 

remain in place, but the majority of the 

structure, including the jumping jetty 

will be removed because of its poor 

condition,” said Rutledge. 

“We are looking at options to replace 

the jumping jetty.” 

Removing the marina will also help 

control Mediterranean fanworm, an 

invasive species that has been increasing 

in numbers in the inner-harbour, said 

Rutledge. 

“This step will help further our 

commitment to the whaka-ora healthy 

harbour partnership with Ngāti 

Wheke, Lyttelton Port Company and 

Environment Canterbury.” 

Magazine Bay marina is adjacent to 

Naval Point Te Nukutai o Tapoa, which 

has been undergoing a redevelopment 

over the last few years. 

Said Rutledge: “Clearing the marina 

is another positive step forward in the 

development of Naval Point. We are 

working on plans to improve access to 

the sea. We’re also upgrading the sports 

grounds and developing new shared 

facilities for sport and recreation groups.” 

The city council took over ownership 

of the marina, which had been badly 

damaged by a storm in October 2000, 

following its amalgamation with Banks 

Peninsula District Council.

ZR-V a premium passenger experience 

HONDA IS looking to take the 

sales fight to its many mid-sized 

urban SUV rivals with its new 

ZR-V, one of the most complete all 

round models we’ve seen from the 

company in ages, in this part of the 

world. 

In essence, it’s an SUV spinoff 

of the thoroughly competent 

Honda Civic. With that quality 

DNA underpinning it, the ZR-V 

is much more capable than your 

typical urban SUV. It replaces 

the popular HRV that ended its 

successful run on our market 18 

months ago. With no suitable 

replacement available out of Japan 

until 2025, Honda here decided to 

whistle up the ZR-V as an interim 

replacement. It is sold in North 

America, as a larger version of the 

HRV and does exceptionally well 

in one of the world’s toughest new 

car markets. 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

Coastal Pacific Tour 

For Honda, the ZR-V delivers 

the company’s next-level hybrid 

electrification technology. The 

ZR-V Sport, uses a new 2.0L 

e:HEV direct injection petrol 

engine with two electric motors 

for a collective power output of 

135kW and 315Nm of torque. 

If that doesn’t take your interest 

there’s the option of a 1.5L direct 

injection turbo that has been a 

staple of the Honda range for 8 

years. 

The hybrid power train is 

exclusive to the flagship $55,000 

ZR-V Sport, but not the with 

$47,000 turbo provided for this 

road test. It’s the same price as the 

Civic sedan but more appealing 

being larger, offering on-trend 

SUV styling, and more versatility 

and practicality. 

Punting the test vehicle 

along with plenty of intent is an 

upgraded version of Honda’s 

stalwart 1.5 turbo engine. It’s good 

for 131kW of power and 240Nm 

of torque, both decent enough 

numbers for an engine of this 

size. Torque comes into play from 

just 1700rpm, although it’s more 

about work than play as it unearths 

plenty of low-speed pulling power. 

In real world driving the motor 

is flexible with good throttle 

response. It’s quieter in the higher 

rev range, to the point where you 

aren’t looking to turn up the sound 

system to counter engine noise. A 

much-improved constant variable 

transmission is shared with the 

Honda Civic and features normal 

and eco driving modes and a 

user-selectable sport mode. It’s a 

transmission that rarely puts a foot 

wrong and feels a good match to 

this feisty compact turbo engine. 

A generously proportioned cabin 

and an equally commodious rear 

cargo hatch is among the best in 

the compact urban SUV class. A 

60-40 split rear seat quickly folds 

down for more load space. Quality 

is one of the lasting impressions 

of the passenger compartment, 

and you can only admire the 

methodical way Honda have gone 

about achieving this. Much of this 

is down to the generous use of 

quality materials throughout the 

cabin, especially on touch points. 

Plenty of effort has also gone into 

providing a premium look and feel 

to the switchgear and controls. 

ZR-V Sport and Turbo are 

the first models to feature new 

Honda Connect emergency 

services. This alerts these services 

if it detects the vehicle’s airbags 

have been activated. An excellent 

new single-camera system offers 

better visibility. Combined with 

software advances and a new, more 

powerful processor, the system 

is capable of more quickly and 

accurately spotting hazards, along 

with road lines and signs. 

Well-sorted suspension and 

steering are the cornerstones 

of an agile and nicely balanced 

urban SUV that’s right at ease 

and taking charge on our roads, 

with often-tricky weather and 

driving conditions. The suspension 

reacts decisively and is a calming 

influence in steadying the car
