Young disc golf star hoping to
go the distance in Oklahoma
• By Emily O’Hagan
SARAH Wadsworth already
holds two disc golf distance
throwing world titles – and she’ll
soon be competing for another at
the world junior champs in the
United States.
The nine-year-old from Dallington
will take part in the
under-10s competition in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, where she will be the
youngest competitor.
Sarah is confident her skills
and determination will take her
far in the sport.
“It’s going to be a career one
day, but at the moment it’s
(about) having fun.”
After learning about disc golf
through a friend, Sarah picked
up a frisbee and discovered what
the growing sport was all about.
Not only is Sarah a top disc
golf player, she is excelling in
other sports.
She won the Canterbury
8-years girls discus and shot put
championship in March, after
weeks earlier breaking the Canterbury
shot put record by 1.85m.
Her father Paul has also developed
a passion for the sport.
“We found it was a fantastic
game to play as a family and
that’s why we went out and
bought a starter pack so we could
all go out and play together.”
Her sporting prowess is not
surprising.
Paul was a top javelin thrower
in the 1990s. He represented

the disc golf junior world
championships in July. As
Sarah has progressed in the
sport, her father Paul has also
developed a passion for it.

New Zealand, and was based
in Europe for a while in a bid
to qualify for the 1994 Commonwealth
Games in Victoria,
Canada. But an injury at a training
camp in Germany dashed
any hopes of qualifying for the
games.
“People say she (Sarah) is a
chip off the old block. But she’s
far ahead of the old block,” he
laughed.
Paul said it has taken a lot of
passion and dedication to get
Sarah to where she is today.
“Trying to learn the actual
idiosyncrasy of throwing one of
these and getting the maximum
distance or the best flight out of
it and how the angles work and
how the discs work, it’s been
rapid. We’ve been going just over
two years.”
Sarah competed in the US last
year and met some disc golf pros
there, including current mentor
and sponsor Kona Montgomery,
a top-ranked professional and
disc golf social media star.
The Wadsworths had been
approached by a number of potential
sponsors, but Sarah said
she connected with Kona.
“Kona really hit us because
she wanted to mentor me as a
child, which I thought was just so
unreal that I would have someone
mentoring me and I would
be going to world champs and
maybe there’s a chance I could
actually win.”
However, getting to international
events is expensive
so Sarah’s family have set up a
fundraising page at givealittle.

and are working on other fundraising
ideas to help get her to

ANZAC DAY BOOKS FOR ADULTS & CHILDREN
The Auschwitz Photographer
by Luca Crippa Maurizio Onnis
When Germany invaded Wilhelm Brasse’s native Poland in 1939, he refused to
swear allegiance to The Wehrmacht. He was deported to Auschwitz concentration
camp as political prisoner number 3444. A trained portrait photographer, he was
ordered by the SS to record the inner workings of the camp. He began by taking
identification photographs of prisoners as they entered, went on to capture the
criminal medical experiments of Josef Mengele, and also recorded executions.
Between 1940 and 1945, Brasse took around 50,000 photographs. He took them
because he had no choice. This extraordinary true story of hope and courage lies at
the very centre of Holocaust history.
The Tattooist of Auschwitz
by Heather Morris
The incredible story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist and the woman he loved.
Lale Sokolov is well-dressed, a charmer, a ladies’ man. He is also a Jew. On the first
transport of men from Slovakia to Auschwitz in 1942, Lale immediately stands out to
his fellow prisoners. In the camp, he is looked up to, looked out for, and put to work
in the privileged position of Tatowierer - the tattooist - to mark his fellow prisoners,
forever. One of them is a young woman, Gita, who steals his heart at first glance.
His life given new purpose, Lale does his best through the struggle and suffering to
use his position for good.

Campaign for better playground
• By Geoff Sloan
A PETITION aims to convince
the city council to replace the
popular fort-playground at
Thomson Park in New Brighton
with a facility that better reflects
“the wishes of the community”.
The almost 50-year-old fort
playground failed a council
safety assessment, which
highlighted concerns over its
deterioration and structural
integrity.
The city council opted against
a “like-for-like” replacement
and instead plans to demolish
the playground and replace
it with plastic-style module
equipment.
The online petition,
called ‘Save our Playground’, is
calling on the council to drop
the current option and build a
“custom playground/module
with a larger footprint, reflecting
the needs and wishes of the
community”.
The petition, which had been
signed by more than 800 people
as of Monday, will be presented
to the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-
Linwood Community Board
on May 6. It wants the council
“parks team to consult with the
board” and come up with a better
playground option.
Parent Garry Alan travels
from Linwood so his children
can use the playground. He
believes the planned plasticstyle
replacement won’t be up to
scratch.
“I’m gutted to see the (fortplayground)
is going. The new
replacement looks like a real
downgrade,” Alan said.
The fort playground and
skate park was opened in 1977
after $22,000 was raised by
the residents’ association. The
playground will be funded by
the council’s community parks
play item renewal programme
. The planned plastic-style
module equipment will cost an
estimated $80,000, plus another
$26,000 to demolish the existing
playground. Coastal Ward

‘DOWNGRADE’: Garry Alan
and other parents want

the planned module kitset

at Thomson
Park.
community board member Jo
Zervos said the board’s hands
were tied over the design.
“Ideally it would have been
good to actually put it out to the
public for consultation and see
if anyone’s interested in doing
a ‘design and build’, instead of
just buying a kitset playground.
“So that would have been
something a bit more unique
and a bit more fun for the kids.”
Zervos was also concerned the
materials used in the new structure
won’t stand up to the harsh
sea-spray environment.
“We get bus loads of kids
coming down to actually use
that, after school programmes
and classes full of kids. And this
new one wouldn’t cater for the
amount of children that would
use it.”
Demolition of the fort
playground is expected to
start soon and the new play
equipment was set to be
installed in July.

Fundraiser
aiming to fill
centre’s beds
CHOLMONDELEY Children’s
Centre has turned to the
community to help to fill the beds
at its respite care facility.
It has launched ‘Give a Good
Nights Sleep’, a fundraising campaign
with three of the centre’s
beds installed around the city to
help drive awareness and donations.
“We wanted to install something
in the city that reminded the public
about Cholmondeley’s role in the
community and that every night
for 50 weeks of the year there are
tamariki in need being cared for by
us,” said Cholmondeley Children’s
Centre general manager, Toni
Tinirau.
Cholmondeley has 23 beds for
children to stay in during times
of family stress or crisis, but on
average just 17 are filled due to
financial limitations.
The ‘Give a Good Nights Sleep’
campaign has the three beds
installed at Riverside Market, The
Palms shopping centre and Ballantynes
department store.
Cholmondeley is an independent
charity and costs just under $3
million to run per year with 20 per
cent of that met by Government
funding and the remainder coming
from the generous support of
the community.
• Donations can be made
in person at the beds or at

ANZAC DAY
THURSDAY APRIL 25, 2024
Remembering our Anzacs
“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; the sound of
the single tap of the drum of the parade; the emotionless faces
of the catafalque guard, and the mournful notes of Last Post
sounded by a lone bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep
solemnity. It is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes
to its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what underlies its
popularity. In a country with few public rituals, the Dawn Service
continues to provide a sense of occasion as a meaningful ritual of
remembrance.”
rsa.org.nz
Every year Anzac Day is observed on April 25 by communities
throughout New Zealand and Australia to remember those who have
served and those who lost their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the
acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first
used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then were known
as ‘the Anzacs’.
Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more ceremonies –
one at dawn (timed to coincide with the initial landings at Gallipoli
by Australian troops who were the first ashore) and/or one later
in the morning. The ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally
begin with a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel
followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries. War veterans,
proudly sporting their medals lead the parade, which leads to a local
cenotaph or memorial gate where the ceremony includes a service
with hymns, laying of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last Post
played on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share
memories and catch up with friends and neighbours.
Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to mark the
anniversary of New Zealand and Australian soldiers landing on the
Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon became a day where all New
Zealanders and Australians took time to remember the men and
women who perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac Day became
an official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public holiday
where shops, banks and hotels remained closed for the day.
Symbol of remembrance
The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope
all over the world and, in some countries, is worn on Armistice
Day, however in New Zealand the red poppy is commonly worn
on Anzac Day. The first Poppy Day appeal was on April 24 in 1922,
where funds from the sales of small and large silk poppies helped
relieve suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version
of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand Returned
Services Association on Poppy Day to raise awareness for Anzac
Day and funds for returned soldiers and their families and local
communities.
‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.’

Project to transform mall into
‘bustling hub’ gains momentum
THERE’S A REAL sense of
change brewing in New Brighton
– and it’s not just the onset of
autumn.
The focus is on our mall. You’ve
probably seen the renovations
under way, with a series of old
buildings getting much-needed
makeovers.
Passersby will have noticed
building work, with plans to
recreate the successful Riverside
Market, and a vibrant network of
restaurants, cafes and bars.
Behind this action are Martini
Investments which has purchased
and consolidated properties at the
ocean end of New Brighton mall.
The development marks the first
major co-ordinated re-imagining
of Ōtautahi’s beachfront and a
catalyst for further investment in
the area.
Linking into the development,
ChristchurchNZ is spearheading
an initiative to establish a new
laneway, stretching from north to
south within the New Brighton
village, in line with the vision
outlined in the New Brighton
Master Plan.
This entails the development
of a sheltered lane on the former
Westpac site, linking Marine Pde
to the mall.
The project involves enhancing
the laneway with landscaping,
lighting, and incorporating
imaginative touches contributed
by local artists. The enhancements
aim to transform the area into a
bustling hub for food trucks and
al fresco dining, drawing visitors
and locals alike.
Progress continues on the $2.5
WE’VE BEEN making
significant progress with
the Pages Rd bridge project,
overcoming funding risks and
timeline challenges earlier this
year.
As a local councillor, I’ve been
a strong advocate for replacing
the bridge, recognising its
importance as a vital link to the
million village green initiative
at New Brighton mall. This
community-driven project,
generously funded by a grant
from the Canterbury Earthquake
Appeal Trust, aims to enhance
the social, economic, and overall
well-being of the broader New
Brighton area.
The project will revamp a
significant vacant area – roughly
the size of a football field – behind
the Pierside building on Marine
Pde, near the beach end of the
mall.
The transformation will turn
this space into a central gathering
point for the entire community.
Feedback from the public late
last year revealed overwhelming
eastern suburbs and a top priority
for our region.
Earlier this year, ECan’s
regional transport committee
released its draft plan outlining
priorities for Canterbury’s
transport system over the next
decade. Initially, the bridge was
ranked 12th on the list of regional
priorities, a downgrade from
Coastal Side
Celeste Donovan
support, with more than 90 per
cent endorsing the concept of a
village green.
The team is diligently finalising
the plans to initiate construction
and start building it.
Amid these positive changes,
we’re also seeing some great new
additions to the area.
One standout is Kusamono
Cafe, located at 121 Brighton Mall.
This isn’t your average coffee spot
– it’s also a paradise for bonsai
lovers.
Owner Aaron seamlessly
blended his passion for coffee
with his bonsai skills, crafting a
one-of-a-kind space for indoor
and outdoor dining. The cafe
offers a glimpse into the future of
its previous top spot. In March,
the regional land transport
committee held hearings on the
Regional Land Transport Plan,
where I represented the city
council.
Through our submission, we
successfully advocated for the
bridge to be elevated to fourth
position on the priorities list.

the retail area, showcasing a blend
of cosy spots where people can
unwind and enjoy themselves.
Like many areas after the 2011
earthquake, we’ve had issues with
vacant sites holding back our
community’s growth.
That’s why I pushed for action
last year and requested the council
investigate charging owners of
vacant retail land more rates, as
currently happens in the central
area.
This had the effect of improving
vacant sites in the area and, while
it is more complex, further work
is under way to see what can be
done to address the poor state of
the Hawke St car park and derelict
buildings.
This change highlights its critical
role in the area and positions it
as a top priority for our city and
Government funding through
the National Land Transport
Plan.
I also ensured that important
project timelines remained on
track, which included moving
forward with the hearings panel
Collaboration is key to our
mall’s regeneration. I spearheaded
the ‘Better for Brighton’ working
group at the start of this year.
This group brings together
the council, developers, and our
community to ensure our vision
for New Brighton becomes a
reality.
We’re committed to creating
a dynamic coastal destination,
drawing inspiration from successful
ventures, like Riverside Market,
while preserving our unique
identity. ChristchurchNZ, the lead
agency on urban regeneration, is
responsible for the co-ordination
of the B4B group, which meet
monthly to ensure we’re on track.
I’ve also been working hard to
secure funding. About $19 million
has been provisionally allocated
for mall upgrades and infrastructure
projects. To make this
happen requires the engagement
of residents, and I have attended
a variety of community events to
ensure we have strong community
support and to make sure funding
in confirmed in the final Long
Term Plan to be adopted in June.
The numbers speak for
themselves – New Brighton has
been leading the way when it
comes to spending increases,
with $33 million injected into our
local economy in 2022/23. Visitor
numbers are up, businesses are
growing, and we have more
than $100 million in planned
investment. The future is bright
for our coastal paradise.
•Celeste Donovan is
the Coastal Ward
city councillor
‘Strong advocate’ for Pages Rd bridge replacement
to prevent potential delays of
up to six months. The hearings
submissions, which I chaired,
provided essential information
and feedback from stakeholders.
This valuable input will
shape the design considerations
before the panel makes a
recommendation to the council
in the coming months.

We need your help to fill our beds.
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has
23 beds for tamariki to stay during
times of whānau stress or crisis. On
average just 17 of these beds are filled
due to resourcing constraints.
Every empty bed is a missed
opportunity to support a child in need.
Donate today to give Canterbury
tamariki a safe place to sleep.
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides
short term emergency or planned respite care
for tamariki when they need extra support due
to complications at home.
Cholmondeley is an independent charity
and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to
run. 20% of this figure is met by Government
funding, and the remaining 80% comes from
the generous support of the Canterbury
community.
