Fixer uppers ride 100km 

• By Sasha Watson 

EXHAUSTED and tough going 

– that was the response from 

Aranui teenager CJ Hogan, who 

biked 100km from Beckenham 

to Akaroa at the weekend for the 

first time. 

CJ’s mum, Tania Hogan, 

said he was very happy to have 

completed such a distance. 

“He even said he would like to 

do another long-distance bike 

ride at some point.” 

CJ completed the journey 

in eight and a half hours on 

Saturday, alongside 16-year-old 

Jay Anderson, Dave Whittam 

and Steve Muir. 

Muir is the founder of the 

Aranui Bike Fixup, a group of 

volunteers who repair donated 

bikes and give them to people 

in the eastern suburbs. The 

group often hosts weekend rides 

to Bottle Lake and along the 

Rapaki Track on the Port Hills.

The Showman 

by Simon Shuster 

Acclaimed journalist Simon Shuster gives us the first inside account of the 

Russian invasion of Ukraine from the perspective of President Volodymyr 

Zelensky and his team, who granted him unprecedented access. Based 

on four years of reporting; extensive travels with President Zelensky to the 

front; and dozens of interviews with him, his wife, his friends and enemies, 

his advisers, ministers and military commanders, The Showman tells a story 

of the President’s evolution from a slapstick actor to a symbol of resilience, 

revealing how he managed to rally the world’s democracies behind his cause. 

Anna O 

by Matthew Blake 

Anna O hasn’t opened her eyes for four years. Not since the night she was 

found in a deep sleep by the bodies of her best friends, suspected of a 

chilling double murder. For Doctor Benedict Prince, a forensic psychologist 

on London’s Harley Street, waking Anna O could be career-defining. As an 

expert in sleep, he knows all about the darkest chambers of the mind; the 

secrets that lie buried in the subconscious. As he begins Anna O’s treatment 

– studying his patient’s dreams, combing her memories, visiting the site 

where the horrors played out – he pulls on the thread of a deeper, darker 

mystery. Awakening Anna O isn’t the end of the story, it’s just the beginning.

Street 

safety 

project 

nearly 

finished 


A RAISED pedestrian crossing 

outside St James School on Rowan 

Ave, which was supposed to be 

completed by the beginning of the 

school term, will be constructed 

in a few weeks. 

It marks the final part of the 

city council’s Aranui Streets Project, 

a trial of safety improvements 

in high pedestrian areas. Ninety 

per cent of the project is funded 

by New Zealand Transport 

Agency Waka Kotahi’s Streets for 

People programme. 

Last year, city council staff were 

asked to go back to the school 

and discuss its concerns about its 

drop-off zone being turned into a 

pedestrian area, and the removal 

of a car park. 

City council transport planning 

and delivery manager Jacob 

Bradbury said the only portion 

of the project on hold was outside 

the school. 

“On Friday, the project 

team met with principal Rose 

Firth-Scott to discuss options. 

Scheduling a meeting time was a 

challenge last month due to the 

start of the school term, resulting 

in delays.” 

Firth-Scott would not discuss 

the matter with Pegasus Post.

Toki sculpture comes full circle 


IT’S FULL circle for both 

artist Jon Jeet and his He Toki 

Maitai sculpture, which has 

been permanently placed on the 

former New Brighton School site. 

The 2.2m-tall steel toki (axe), 

originally completed in 2022, is 

displayed next to the Roy Stokes 

Community Hall, on the site 

where Seaview Development will 

be building 65 homes. 

“Wow – what 

a journey it has 

been,” said Jeet, 

who lives close 

to the toki’s final 

resting place. 

“I like that it 

has gone back 

Jon Jeet 

to the site where 

I was creating 

pieces in my 

JOURNEY: Jon Jeet drew inspiration for the sculpture from his Indian, Fijian and Māori ancestors as well as the Seaview 

Development rebuild of the earthquake-damaged site. 

art studio, which was at the old 

school. 

“The piece takes me back to 

building relations with Renew 

New Brighton and the many, 

many artists who were there.” 

The toki was commissioned 

by SCAPE Public Art, after 

Jamie Hanton, then the managing 

curator, approached Jeet in 

response to the theme Sweat 

Equity, where different artists 

explored the effect of capital and 

labour on bodies. 

Jeet drew inspiration from 

his Indian ancestors who were 

brought to Fiji as indentured labourers. 

The work also references 

the former school being in the 

process of redevelopment. 

“The earthquakes happened 

and I wanted to make a work that 

talked about ‘we’re ploughing into 

the soil again’. A part of the inspiration 

for the design was asking 

myself, why am I making this?” 

Jeet is also of Ngāti Maniapoto 

descent. Traditionally, Māori 

shaped and used toki for several 

purposes, from gardening to 

wood carving. They could also 

be carried ceremonially as a 

symbol of power and authority. 

“We wear these forms now, but 

they had functionality too. They 

were used as tools,” he said. 

Jeet said there were “so many 

people involved” to get the art to 

where it is. 

“Thanks to Leigh Mason, the 

Coombes sheet metal and fabrication 

director, for assistance in the 

initial construction and donating 

the $20,000 it cost to make, and to 

all, for their support.” 

The last $7000 was funded 

by SCAPE. Executive director 

Richard Aindow said it was exciting 

to bring Jeet’s work to New 

Brighton. 

“SCAPE’s vision is to bring 

permanent artworks to life in 

communities across the whole 

city. It’s immensely satisfying to 

install a piece where the artist 

lives and works.” 

Jeet has a master’s degree in 

painting from Canterbury University’s 

Ilam School of Fine Arts

Project aiming to 

make streets safer 

• From page 1 

But Burwood Ward city 

councillor Kelly Barber, who 

was at the meeting, said Firth- 

Scott endorsed installing a 

raised pedestrian crossing 

outside and again opposed 

changes to the drop-off zone. 

“After consultation, there will 

be no changes to the drop-off 

area and Rose is happy with 

that outcome,” Barber said. 

The Aranui Streets Project 

was developed following community 

engagement, with safety 

improvements to high pedestrian 

areas around Chisnallwood 

Intermediate School, Haeata 

Community Campus, St James 

School, Wainoni Park and the 

Hampshire St shops. 

Improvements include installation 

of safe speed bumps, upgrades 

to pedestrian crossings 

and intersections, and widening 

footpaths. 

Barber said because the 

project is temporary, anything 

installed which is of concern 

may be reversed, depending on 

community feedback. 

“The overall sentiment of 

what the council is trying to 

achieve is positive but it is 

important to find solutions that 

make sense. I hope the speed 

bumps stay.’’ 

The removal of car parking 

has prompted some concerns. 

Eastern Eagles Rugby League 

Club volunteer Fina F’amoe was 

LIMITED PARKING: 

Median-flex posts have 

been installed outside 

Wainoni Park taking away 

about 15-20 parks. 

worried about the lack of parking 

along Hampshire St in front 

of Wainoni Park, now medianflex 

posts have been installed. 

“We already have limited 

parking and now we’ve lost 

about 15-20 car parks. What 

happens when league season 

begins or events are held? We 

need to park somewhere,” said 

F’amoe. 

Bradbury said 70 per cent 

of construction of the project 

was under way. The project was 

looking to meet its proposed 

completion date of March 18, 

depending on weather. 

Work outside the former Avondale 

Primary School has started 

and includes adding raised 

pedestrian crossings and new 

road markings. After that, work 

will start outside Chisnallwood 

before moving on to Rowan Ave 

outside St James School. 

The intention is for no work 

to happen outside schools between 

8.20-9am and 2.30-3pm. 

Frustration after thieves 

leave residents powerless 

• By Emily O’Hagan 

PRESCHOOL teachers from 

Educational Child Care Centre 

in Dallington are at their wits’ 

end. 

They have arrived at work to 

find there is no power on four 

separate occasions over the last 

two weeks. 

The outages were caused by 

thieves who have been stealing 

copper from the powerlines 

along Gayhurst Rd at night. 

This means some Dallington 

residents, and businesses like the 

child care centre, are waking up 

to find they have no electricity. 

Educational Child Care Centre 

manager Sarah Webb-Matenga 

said it is proving difficult to keep 

the preschool running. 

“We just haven’t been able to 

open. The first time we couldn’t 

open until after 10. And this last 

two times, it was sort of nine”. 

The centre is concerned the 

ongoing issue of outages could 

result in them losing some families 

to other preschools. 

The difficult situation is 

starting to become stressful 

for parents trying to drop off 

their children first thing in the 

morning. 

Sara Farmer, a parent of 

one of the preschoolers, said 

FRUSTRATION: Thieves have stolen copper wire from 

the Educational Child Care Centre in Dallington on four 

separate occasions leaving the business without power. 

PHOTO: EMILY O’HAGAN 

the situation is incredibly 

challenging for parents. 

“We have to get to work or we 

have our day set out and planned 

already and this is just a setback 

for your morning”. 

The repeated bold attacks are 

puzzling residents, who have 

various theories as to who might 

be responsible and why they are 

doing it. 

Farmer said it must be someone 

who is trained in dealing with 

power lines. 

“It’s not like every Tom, Dick 

and Harry knows how to take 

down power lines. It’s just insane.” 

• Watch the video on 

Starnews.co.nz 

It is not just the adults who are 

baffled by the run of incidents 

– the centre’s children are also 

confused about what is going on. 

Webb-Matenga said the kids 

are frightened of the thieves. 

“We had a wee boy arrive this 

morning with a torch in case it’s 

dark again”. 

The childcare centre is asking 

nearby residents to keep their 

eyes open and to report any 

suspicious activity, and they hope 

police can make this electric 

crime wave in Dallington a 

priority.

Gardeners plan pantry 

after health scare 


A FOOD pantry will be set 

up for the Travis Country 

community in Burwood by keen 

gardeners, Nick and Megan 

Hamilton. 

It comes 

after they moved 

from their sheep 

and beef farm in 

North Canterbury 

to Travis 

Country in April 

2022, following a 

Nick 

Hamilton 

Megan 

Hamilton 

health scare. 

“My father had 

a brain bleed and 

died suddenly 

in 2020. Shortly 

after, I began 

to get intense 

headaches. I 

thought it was 

depression,” said 

Hamilton. 

“But, the 

headaches kept 

getting worse so 

I went in for a scan. The doctors 

found a brain tumour and operated 

on it. 

“They are happy with its 

progress and I’ve begun working 

again, for a farming bank. With 

a health scare like this, it makes 

you think about what is important 

in life.” 

HELPING HAND: A food 

pantry, similar to the 

Somerfield Community 

Pantry, is being set up for 

Travis Country by keen 

gardeners, Nick and Megan 

Hamilton. 

PHOTO: FACEBOOK 

Hamilton said spending time 

with his family and “making sure 

to live every day” was his focus 

now, as well as spending time in 

his vegetable garden. 

“The share pantry idea started 

with Megan, as we had an overabundance 

of all sorts of things. 

In Amberley, there was a similar 

pantry which was quite successful,” 

said Hamilton. 

Hamilton went to the Waitai- 

Coastal-Burwood-Linwood 

Community Board last year with 

his proposal. He has been working 

on a design, with help from 

builders in the area. 

Said Hamilton: “I can swing 

a hammer, but I’m no builder. I 

would like the pantry to be built 

well and serve the community 

for many years to come as excess 

produce would be put into a 

green bin otherwise.” 

He said there was a need for it 

with the cost of living. 

Community board member 

Greg Mitchell was supportive 

of the idea. He said St Paul’s 

Lutheran Church has offered to 

host the pantry in the church car 

park. 

The local primary school and 

kindergarten have also expressed 

interest in helping with the project, 

Mitchell said. 

“There are so many bad 

things going on – it is nice to see 

good things, like this initiative, 

happening.” 

Hamilton hopes the pantry 

will be up and running by spring.

LONG DISTANCE: Four teenagers and four adults made 

up the Saturday ride group with half opting to finish the 

ride at 50km, and the rest continuing on to Akaroa. 

Riders improve lives 

• From page 1 

“I feel like the east gets the raw 

deal in terms of infrastructure 

and places to ride along,” said 

Muir. 

“The area holds many families 

with low incomes and they can’t 

afford to buy a bike from a 

shop. 

“A lot of the kids from the 

area have never been to the Port 

Hills, so we take them out to 

see different places and get into 

nature. We also help reduce the 

chance of antisocial behaviours 

later in life.” 

CJ is one of just over 920 people 

who have received a donated 

bike since the group began 

three years ago. He volunteers 

on Thursdays to help other kids 

repair their bikes. 

In about eight weeks the 

group will donate their 1000th 

bike to someone in need. 

As someone who has always 

“loved and appreciated” bike 

riding, Muir found a big need 

for both getting people on bikes 

and taking people out for rides, 

especially after the February 22, 

2011 earthquake. 

He started the initiative as 

it sits well with his “values of 

creating a clean environment” 

and reducing carbon emissions. 

The group is funded by the 

city council and organisations 

from around the area and operates 

from the Breezes Rd Baptist 

Church every Thursday from 

3-6pm. 

“The feedback we get is that 

we’re making a big difference. 

We have also had comments 

about this initiative being 

life-changing for some,” Muir 

said.

Cupra Born the wild child of the EV world 

VIBRANCY, FLAIR, and 

passion are deeply embedded into 

the DNA of the Spanish, and its 

only automotive manufacturer, 

Volkswagen owned Seat, have 

created an electric car, that is an 

automotive expression of those 

qualities. 

It’s the small to mid-size Cupra 

Born, the performance division 

of Seat and sits on Volkswagen’s 

impressive MEB platform 

designed exclusively for EVs. 

This compact Spanish dynamo 

shares this platform with the 

Skoda Enyaq and Volkswagen 

ID.4 and soon to be launched 

here smaller ID.3, that’s similar 

in size to the Cupra Born. 

The Cupra Born is the wild 

child of the Seat family and 

putting brand on the map here, 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

after years of living in the shadow 

of its higher profile Volkswagen 

and Skoda siblings. 

A fun, affordable, quality 

European performance hatch 

brimming with personality, 

the $74,990 Cupra Born EV is a 

genuine x-factor vehicle, without 

the usual mega price tag. 

It looks the part with LED 

Daytime Running Lights 

with unique signature Full 

LED headlights, and 19-inch 

Copper Typhoon alloy wheels. 

Completing the picture are 

aerodynamic side sills, floating 

C-pillar and Copper CUPRA 

badging. All this made the 

test vehicle a bit of a people 

magnet when it was parked up, 

most knowingly nodding their 

approval. 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 9 Handling 8; Build Quality 

8; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 7; Value for money 

7; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 8.5 

The test car had heaps of heft 

from a beefy 77kWh battery 

and an electric motor producing 

150 kW of power and 310 Nm 

of torque. However, the Cupra 

has a performance trick up its 

sleeve with E-Boost that its ID.4 

and Enyaq siblings miss out on. 

This maximises acceleration and 

enhances all round performance. 

The vehicles standard battery 

is good for a healthy 150kW, but 

with e-Boost standard on Born 

models sold here, that figure 

surges to 170kW, enough to 

propel the car from 0-100 km/h 

in a snappy 6.6 seconds. This 

is activated via a Drive Profile 

button. E-Boost works its magic 

for a maximum of 30 seconds to 

protect the battery, but accessible 

at any time, depending on the 

charge state of the battery and its 

temperature. 

There’s a genuine performance 

edge to the Born with its rapid 

acceleration both off the mark, 

and once on the move, and boy 

does it move! 

With an undeniable energy and 

urgency about this electric power 

train it’s one that performance 

car enthusiast driver are Born to 

love. 

The cabin is smaller than both 

the ID.4 and Enyaq, with this 

pair a better choice if load and 

people carrying capacity are 

important. However, it is well 

appointed with a floating 12- 

inch touchscreen, multi-colour 

ambient lighting, dual-zone 

climate control air conditioning 

and split folding rear seats 

with ski hatch. Keeping you 

connected is a 12-inch colour 

touchscreen including Bluetooth, 

2 USB-C ports and integrated 

voice control wireless phone 

charger. 

Having the high-voltage 

battery located in the floor 

between the axles provides the 

almost perfect low centre of 

gravity, for optimum agility and 

balance that under pins this cars 

next level road holding. Grip 

and stability through even the 

tightest corners is masterfully 

tenacious and among the best I 

have experienced in an EV. 

The trade-off is low speed 

ride comfort that isn’t that well 

cushioned, and suspension 

noise, while not over bearing 

it still makes it presence heard. 

Annoying at times in town 

driving, but a concession I 

would happily make for this car’s 

sublime handling.

Minor amendment to the enrolment scheme of Te Oraka 

The Ministry of Education is proposing a minor amendment to the enrolment scheme of Te Oraka (formerly 

Shirley Intermediate). This is to add their te reo Māori special programme – Te Tāhu Rua Reo, to their enrolment 

scheme. 

Students who meet the criteria for enrolment and live within the home zone must be enrolled ahead of out-of-zone 

students. Out-of-zone students who meet the criteria for enrolment in the special programme have priority in 

enrolment above all other out-of-zone students while special programme places are available. The enrolment of 

out-of-zone students is governed by the provisions of the Education and Training Act 2020. 

A copy of the proposed enrolment scheme is available at 

https://consultation.education.govt.nz/education/te-oraka-shirley-intermediate-special-programme/ 

Comments can be made to Canterbury.EnrolmentSchemes@education.govt.nz by 26 March 2024.
