Lions 

club 

admits 

women 

for first 

time 

• By Sarla Donovan 

WOMEN HAVE joined the 

Ferrymead Lions for the first 

time since the group was formed 

41 years ago. 

Rosemary Lory, Ann Newsom, 

Jenny Godden and Ann 

Finnemore recently became the 

first female members of the club 

at the recent annual induction 

of new members and officers, 

known as ‘the change over meeting.’ 

Vice-president Bernie Godden 

said it added an extra special 

note to the annual event, held at 

the ‘Lions Den’ (aka the club’s 

meeting rooms in Ferrymead.) 

He said the change had been 

driven by current president Bill 

Newsom (Ann’s husband) “who 

decided it was about time we did 

it.” 

Mrs Godden, who is Bernie’s 

wife, said the club had made her 

feel extremely welcome.

THERE’S A top rugby league story on page 

15 today, involving names from the past 

and ones to watch for the future. 

Halswell club teenagers Tanner Smith 

and Cooper Te Hau are carrying on a family 

friendship which spans generations. 

Their grandfathers Norm Geddes and Peter Smith played with 

and against each other in the 1970s, and their fathers, Arthur 

Geddes and Pat Smith shared a similar friendship and rivarly on 

the field. 

Pat’s name is of course synonymous with Canterbury rugby 

league. It’s his name on the trophy presented each year to the 

winning grand-final side. 

I remember following the Papanui Tigers as a kid in the 1970s, 

who Norm Geddes played for. 

A very handy sort of player.

Opening cycleway in style 

PARKING 

A PARTY at Linwood Park 

celebrated the opening of the 

second stage of a cycle route that 

will connect the central city with 

Sumner. 

A community barbecue, 

children riding bikes and scooters, 

and bicycle-powered fruit 

smoothie makers were part of 

the upbeat occasion marking the 

second section of the Rapanui to 

Shag Rock cycleway being ready 

for action. 

City councillor and chairwoman 

of the infrastructure, 

transport and environment committee 

Pauline Cotter formally 

opened the new route on Friday. 

She said the new section, 

which passes through a treelined 

median on Linwood Ave, 

would provide a safer and a more 

direct route for cyclists, helping 

children and teenagers bike to 

school. 

“We know that making cycling 

safer encourages more people 

to choose to cycle, whether it’s a 

commute to work, school, shops 

or as a recreation choice. I think 

this section of the Rapanui Shag 

Rock cycleway is arguably the 

most scenic in the city to date, 

and all credit to the design team 

who have taken advantage of and 

preserved the beautiful natural 

features of Linwood Ave,” Cr 

Cotter said. 

SCOOT: Linwood Scout Group children celebrating the cycleway opening on Friday. 

The project involved constructing 

2km of shared pathway, along 

with storm water, lighting and 

landscaping improvements. 

The signals at Chelsea St, 

Hargood St and Dyers Rd have 

also been upgraded. 

The route passes through the 

median strip of Linwood Ave 

under 65-year-old elm trees 

with thousands of daffodil bulbs 

planted on either side of the cycle 

path. 

Great care was taken during 

the construction of the new 

cycleway to protect native fish in 

the Linwood Canal. 

About 3665 sq m of porous 

pavers have been used to preserve 

the trees’ root systems. 

Another 150 new trees are 

currently being planted along the 

length of Linwood Ave. 

NZ Transport Agency Regional 

Director Jim Harland said 

cycleways were a proven way 

to improve the health of a city, 

reduce congestion and lower the 

cost of infrastructure. 

“When the cycleway is fully 

completed, it will also provide 

access to recreational areas,” Mr 

Harland said.

Southshore couple 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

Another heAP Vet in the 

fAmily…. 

Our son Connor has 

just been accepted 

into the Veterinary 

Programme 

at Massey in 

Palmerston North. 

Steve and I are 

super proud as we 

know how hard he’s 

worked these past 

5 months to make 

the cut. A big part of the selection process 

now is a weekend of interviews involving real 

life situations and personality testing which 

accounts for a large percentage of your final 

grade. This is new but I think essential in 

choosing the kids with the right set of skills 

and personality traits to move into a very 

select, challenging and not easy profession. 

In our experience the best vets we have 

encountered were not the cleverest kids 

by any means. The unforgettable students 

were relatable and practical, enjoyed solving 

problems quickly and talking to people, 

cared about animals in general, loved the 

team environment and were hard workers. 

You have to have fantastic work ethic in this 

profession and not be a 

complainer – 

the hours are 

long, the days 

throw at you 

many real life 

emergency’s 

constantly but 

the rewards 

personally are 

huge. Its not 

a job – it’s a 

way of life and 

it’s a privilege 

to care for 

pets and their 

owners. 

All our 3 three sons have loved animals 

from day dot. All their lives they have 

grown up with cats and dogs and horses 

(through my parents). All three boys have 

always been kind, caring and respectful 

of all our pets and taken responsibility 

for them. Our pets have come away on 

holiday with us and we are not complete 

as a family without them. Right from small 

children they spent a fair bit of time at the 

vet clinic, whether it be afterhours callouts, 

watching their dad operate on eyes, coming 

in to medicate and feed sick patients in the 

weekends, helping me clean and feed our 

cattery cats on public holidays or being an 

extra pair of hands at a caesarian. They have 

never resented the amount of time we spend 

at the clinic and they have always wanted to 

hear about interesting cases and be involved. 

Up until this year Connor was at UC Berkeley 

in San Francisco on a tennis scholarship, 

playing for the Cal Tennis team and studying

an undergraduate 

degree in 

sciences. He spent 

18 months of a 4 

year scholarship 

there and loved it 

but had decided 

he’d had enough 

of tennis and 

wanted to give 

Veterinary science 

a crack. Connor had given his life to tennis, 

first playing at age of 3 and I think he’d simply 

had enough. Time for a change and to move 

forward with his life. He could have finished 

his Undergraduate degree at Berkeley but 

then he still needed to do the first semester of 

prevet at Massey to gain entry into the course. 

So he decided at Christmas to enroll in prevet 

and put his Berkeley qualification on hold. He 

loved studying at Berkeley – ranked the 6th 

Best College in the world. He can finish his 

undergraduate studies back there whenever 

he wants. 

A lot has changed since Steve and I were at 

Vet school back in 86 and 87. Many of my 

classmates are now lecturers and the Vet 

faculty has had a massive much needed 

revamp. The campus is much the same 

and from what Connor has reported 

the campus food is still average – main 

problem being “not enough food” plus 

no one cooks like his dad. 

Believe it or not, Connor has the same 

room in the same hostel his dad 31 

years ago. 

The campus 

is pretty and 

Connor is 

enjoying 

exploring all 

the old places 

in town his 

dad and I 

did on a 

Saturday 

night. It 

hasn’t 

changed 

much in nearly 30 years. 

Its going to be great having Connor in the 

same country for the next 4 or so years. I’m 

sure he’ll get lots of visitors. Another “ Heap” 

one day at McMaster & Heap, and I know for 

sure he’ll not disappoint. Here’s to a fantastic 

succession plan. It gets to stay in the family 

for the next 60 years or so. We bought the 

practice in 1999 – I wonder what it will look 

like in 2099. Probably a lot different but I hope 

its still called McMaster & Heap, even though 

I’ll be long gone!

get consent after drawn out battle 

The Christchurch Coastal 

Residents’ United group say a 

restricted discretionary activity 

rule, recommended by the 

replacement District Plan independent 

hearings panel, was left 

out when the plan was finalised 

last year. The group is made up 

of coastal residents and experts. 

Without the discretionary 

rule, under the District Plan new 

developments or intensification 

of land use in the High Flood 

Management Plan area is to be 

avoided. 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board deputy chairman Tim 

Sintes said leaving the rule out 

may have been a mistake and he 

is working with interested parties 

to put it right. 

He said for residents to buy a 

section of land and be told they 

can’t build or get their money 

back was an “extremely distressing” 

position to be in. 

A city council independent 

hearings panel decision on the 

rule was scheduled to be made 

on Friday but was delayed and 

will not be out until Monday 

next week. 

It comes as Regenerate 

Christchurch has started public 

consultation with Southshore 

and South New Brighton residents 

on how to solve rising sea 

level issues. MPs met last month 

to help solve residents’ problems 

over getting resource consents. 

Christchurch East MP Poto 

Williams said MPs will decide 

on what their next action will be 

based on the decision made by 

the independent hearings panel. 

Miss Donne and Mr Wood 

were originally told by the city 

council a building consent would 

be granted in February. 

But after agreeing to sign 

a waiver under section 72 of 

the Building Act 2004 in their 

property’s certificate of title, the 

consent was granted last month. 

Mr Sintes said by signing the 

waiver, the city council cannot 

take the blame if anything was to 

go wrong with the property. 

Miss Donne said if she hadn’t 

signed the waiver, the couple 

would have had to go down the 

road of getting a resource consent 

as well. 

She said it was “daunting” 

signing the document as it made 

them uncertain as to how it 

could affect them in the future in 

terms of insurance. 

RISK: 

Residents in 

Southshore 

face building 

consent 

issues due to 

being in the 

High Flood 

Management 

Plan area. 

Mr Sintes said in the last few 

weeks, residents in the High 

Flood Management Plan area 

have been telling him they have 

had difficulty getting insurance. 

Miss Donne said she feels 

lucky to have a building consent 

in the coastal area. 

“Some people would say we are 

crazy investing in our first home 

here, but we love the beach lifestyle 

and wouldn’t live anywhere 

else.” 

She said the extension could 

have been built before her baby 

was born. It is due on September 

25. The couple now won’t begin 

the project until summer. Their 

home, referred to as a “beach 

shack”, is currently 70 sq m. 

“Not living in such a small 

place that your work clothes 

smell of last night’s roast lamb 

because the wardrobe is near the 

kitchen will be nice,” she said. 

They were aware they were in a 

flood zone and contacted the city 

council before engaging in the 

project in about November. 

Miss Donne said the city council 

initially told them they would 

need higher floor levels to allow 

the consent to go ahead. But 

then they began to get unclear 

answers. 

She attended several community 

board meetings and went 

to Mr Sintes to resolve the issue 

before the city council proposed 

the couple signed the waiver. 

But Miss Donne acknowledged 

the long process was not entirely 

the city council’s fault as the couple’s 

engineer had moved away 

without telling them, leaving 

them “hanging for months”.

Promoting well-being of elderly 

Spreydon- 

Cashmere 

Community 

Board member 

Lee Sampson 

talks about the 

board’s 

age-friendly 

initiative 

I’M VERY pleased to announce 

the community board will be 

among the first local bodies 

in New Zealand to launch a 

recognised age-friendly initiative 

aimed at promoting the wellbeing 

of our older people. 

It also aims to create a greater 

awareness of the opportunities 

and challenges facing our ageing 

populations. 

The initiative was formally 

launched this month at a forum 

for the Older Adults Network 

through the interim working 

party, and will follow a similar 

format to the World Health Organisation’s 

‘age-friendly world’ 

concept. 

Presentations given at the 

launch by Office for Seniors 

director Diane Turner, Age 

Concern Canterbury chief 

executive Simon Templeton and 

board member Helene Mautner 

really energised the room and 

ALL TOGETHER: A new Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board initiative aims to promote the 

well-being of older people. 

set a great tone for the break-out 

discussion and brainstorming 

held later. 

We know a huge amount of 

work is already happening in our 

area, especially through agencies 

such as Age Concern, but the 

pressures and gaps are only going 

to grow with longer life expectancies 

and increasing demands. 

In 20 years, more than 25 per 

cent of the population will be 

over 65 – so it’s critical we collectively 

adjust our mind-sets and 

front-foot the issues and opportunities 

this presents. 

The challenges discussed 

included loneliness and social 

isolation, improving mobility 

and public transport, the lack 

of appropriate housing, tackling 

ageism and individualism, along 

with the strains for many on 

fixed incomes. 

No doubt part of the solution 

will be increasing the level of 

collaboration and promoting 

stronger connections for the 

sector, as well as enabling more 

opportunities for residents to stay 

connected and active – in fact 

research shows those people who 

stay active live longer. 

It’s early days, but we are really 

excited by the potential. The next 

step will be the formation of a 

local steering board comprising 

about six to eight persons. Essentially 

this will be our ‘think 

tank’ responsible for developing 

the initial structure, establishing 

the action plans and our prioritisations. 

•If you are interested in 

being involved, steering 

board nominations are 

being sought until the end 

of July. Email lee.sampson.

Low-Cost Pensioner 

Housing is Trust focus 

For 45 years and counting, the Kenneth 

F. Weaver trust inc. has been providing low 

cost pensioner units for Cantabrians. located 

throughout St. albans and edgeware areas, 

the twenty nine units which the trust represents 

were a dream of founder Kenneth F. Weaver 

which became a reality. 

the humble and very private community 

service benefactor, the Kenneth F. Weaver 

trust, inc. bears his name and shares in 

the legacy of the prominent Christchurch 

businessman. Maintained by a board of 

experienced and supportive trustees, the trust 

values its years of assistance to the dozens of 

pensioners it has been able to serve. 

“all those years ago, i felt a strong desire to 

support pensioners throughout the city where 

i’ve grown up. Having been born in rakaia 

and although i have travelled the world, leaving 

home at 15 to join the merchant navy, i came 

back to start my family several years later.” He 

shares. “then upon returning to Christchurch, i 

saw a need and felt prompted to do something 

about it.” 

“i have worked in many industries and 

became a businessman who was fortunate in 

their investments and business ventures. i have 

learned a lot about people and identified a way 

to support them. all those years ago, i saw a 

need for affordable housing in the pensioner 

segment and decided to do something about it. 

“i looked at the available central government 

schemes and applied for some funding. there 

was a lot of paperwork and many questions, 

but the ministry saw the value in my goal and 

helped me launch the trust. i had set up a 

private trust and to this day, my understanding 

is that the Kenneth F. Weaver trust inc. is the 

only private trust that has been supported 

through ministry channels.” 

the Kenneth F. Weaver trust inc. well-earned 

reputation lives by the motto – For the Benefit 

of others and their goal is to offer rental security 

for life. 

How the unit process works is that a unit 

only becomes available when a vacancy 

occurs. Most of the residents have been there 

for decades. Back in the late 1970’s when the 

doors opened, the rent per week was $11.25. 

Now forty five years later it has only risen to 

$155 a week, for a single person, 1 bedroom 

unit and we feel very good about the ability we 

have had to maintain and keep our rental costs 

as low as possible. We’re not in this to make 

a big profit, but to help serve our community 

while maintaining our costs. 

all the trust units are well maintained, and our 

residents and management team take pride in 

keeping them in top condition. the gardens are 

maintained by residents and a gardener. 

each of the units provide one or two 

bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, laundry and 

bathroom facilities. 

the residents develop a close knit 

community and support for each other which 

provides comfort and peace of mine for each 

resident. there is no medical care on site, but 

the trust units have doctor rooms close by.

applicants must: 

- Be over sixty

Banks Peninsula walkways 

could get bi-lingual signage 


SIGNAGE FOR place names on 

all Banks Peninsula walks and 

reserves should be in both Maori 

and English, a group developing 

the Head-to-Head Walkway 

says. 

The group has asked the Banks 

Peninsula Community 

Board 

to recommend 

the city council 

institute the 

change and also 

consider extending 

bi-lingual 

Jed O’Donoghue 

signage to all parks and reserves 

in Christchurch. 

Head-to-Head Walkway 

working group chairman 

Jed O’Donoghue said Banks 

Peninsula was of particular importance 

because of the specific 

cultural values that existed in 

particular areas. 

“Each place has its own level 

of cultural significance and a 

lot of that is built into the place 

names. It means a lot to the local 

runanga and iwi and I think it 

(is positive) for our whole society 

to get used to place names in 

both languages.” 

Community boards were 

BI-LINGUAL: The head-to-head walkway working group 

wants all place names on the walkway signs to be written in 

both English and Maori. 

recently given Maori names 

by the city council to reflect 

an increased awareness of the 

language and culture. 

A city council spokeswoman 

said the Ngāi Tahu relationship 

team created the names “that reflects 

the wants of the rūnanga, 

and the desire to keep a Māori 

worldview towards naming each 

community board.” 

Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū/ 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board means the storehouse of 

Rākaihāutu. Rākaihāutu was 

one of the founding ancestors of 

Waitaha, an older South Island 

tribe, and explored the South 

Island’s mountains. 

The rest of the boards’ new 

names begin with Wai, which 

means waters. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board’s is Waikura 

– wai for waters and kura for 

leader. 

Once complete, the head to 

head walkway is planned to run 

from Lyttelton to beyond Purau. 

If bi-lingual signs were to become 

policy across the city, Mr 

O’Donoghue said: “We wouldn’t 

expect every sign to be ripped 

out overnight. It would just be as 

replacement was needed.”

Access all areas for 

Barrington Park play 

AN INCLUSIVE play 

space that features a 

wheelchair-accessible 

climbing structure and 

carousel – along with 

visual aids – has opened in 

Barrington Park. 

City council head of 

parks Andrew Rutledge 

said the major upgrade has 

resulted in a wonderful 

play space that can be enjoyed 

by youngsters with a 

mix of abilities and skills. 

“Barrington Park now 

hosts an inclusive area that 

caters for children with 

disabilities,” Mr Rutledge 

said. 

“From a wheelchairaccessible 

sand play feature 

to a carousel suitable for 

two wheelchairs or pushchairs, 

the new space offers 

multiple opportunities for 

interactive play. 

“The climbing structure

is 90 per cent wheelchair 

accessible, with ramps 

with a suitable gradient, 

plenty of room for turning 

around, play panels and 

talk tubes. 

“Youngsters can also sit 

or lie on a net see-saw and 

the jumping jacks. 

“The visual aids on the 

climbing structure and 

equipment colour choices 

all contribute to the creation 

of a play space that 

meets multiple needs.” 

Among the other allaccess 

features are a highback 

infant swing seat, a 

basket swing, a stainless 

steel slide, a babel drum 

and talk tubes throughout 

the play space. 

A central path connects 

all the spaces and allows 

users to move between the 

areas with ease. 

Most areas have accessible 

safety surfaces. 

“We have also included 

accessible picnic tables and 

seating and a periphery 

path,” Mr Rutledge said. 

“The design has been 

peer reviewed by the 

Barrier Free NZ Trust to 

ensure it is as inclusive as 

possible while still providing 

a challenge to users.” 

For the more adventurous, 

the play space features 

several slides, a fireman’s 

pole and a custom-made 

rock-climbing boulder 

with a tunnel, monkey bars 

and a balance beam. 

Work began on the park 

in April, with landscaping 

to be completed as the area 

dried out. 

Communication boards 

will be added to the play 

space in the coming 

months, as well as abike 

stand and a scooter stand.

Court appearance after damage to park 


• By Anan Zaki 

A 39-YEAR-OLD man accused 

of vandalising Hornby’s Leslie 

Park will appear in the district 

court next month. 

He was originally set to appear 

last Thursday, but the court 

hearing was delayed to August 2. 

No explanation was given for the 

delay. 

Police apprehended the man on 

July 5 after allegedly being caught 

doing donuts at the home ground 

of the Hornby Panthers. 

He was charged with 

operating a motor vehicle 

causing sustained loss of 

traction, failing to stop, wilful 

damage and driving with excess 

breath alcohol. 

This was the second time in 

two months that the park was 

vandalised. Damage to the field 

in the earlier incident forced the 

Panthers to play away from their 

home ground for five weeks. 

The latest incident came just 

one week after the team returned 

to the field. 

Hornby Panthers club president 

Brent Tomlinson said it was 

“heartbreaking” to see the fields 

damaged again. 

Mr Tomlinson said the 

club was using the field under 

restricted conditions imposed by 

the city council to prevent turf 

damage and the vandalism made 

an already difficult situation 

worse. 

The park was given a 

$144,000 turf upgrade for the 

Rugby League World Cup last 

year. 

The city council has 

cleared the team to return to 

the field following the latest 

incident.

Tomlinson 

says he is

Slower speed for Richmond Hill 


RICHMOND HILL will have a 

restricted speed zone of 40km/h 

imposed from October as the 

city council attempts to address 

safety issues in the area. 

The 100 section-plus Greenwood 

Farm subdivision has generated 

additional traffic on the 

hill suburb’s narrow roads and 

increased community concern 

over driver 

and pedestrian 

safety. 

The restricted 

area starts at 

the bottom of 

Richmond Hill 

Rd where it 

Sara 

Templeton 

meets Nayland 

St and stretches 

up to the summit. 

Nayland St is not included. 

However, a trial 30km/h speed 

limit there and on Wakefield 

Ave is expected later this year. 

Public consultation showed 

majority support for the 

measure, although a number 

of the 68 submission criticised 

the lack of footpaths in the 

area. 

“It is very irresponsible for 

the city council to allow a new 

subdivision with hundreds of 

more vehicle movements per 

SLOWER: The speed limit on Richmond Hill will be lowered to 40km/h. 

day and not upgrade the road 

and footpath,” said one 

submitter. 

“I would think this would 

actually be illegal. When we 

drive up and down the road, we 

daily see young school children 

in dark uniforms having to 

walk on the unlit road. It is just 

a matter of time before one of 

these children will be killed by 

a car.” 

City council manager planning 

delivery and transport 

Lynette Ellis said due to the 

physical constraints, particularly 

land stability, it was unlikely 

any physical widening will be 

initiated. 

“Any upgrade will be in the 

form of repair and resurfacing 

to the current road surface and 

footpath.” 

She said at the time the consent 

was granted in 2006, the 

developer was not required to 

pay development contributions 

towards associated transport 

activity. 

Heathcote Ward city councillor 

Sara Templeton has asked 

city council staff to “investigate 

the pedestrian safety concerns 

on Richmond Hill Rd outlined 

in the submissions and report to 

the (Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community) Board with 

potential solutions by the end of 

2018.” 

She said the lack of footpaths 

in the hill suburbs had been a 

concern for some time, “especially 

for children getting to and 

from school.” 

It will cost about $5000 

to install the new 40km/h 

speed signage on Richmond 

Hill. 

Car hoons 

cause safety 

concerns 

• By Julia Evans 

STREET RACING, burnouts, 

dumped bottles and rubbish are 

causing safety concerns for Lester 

Lane businesses. 

And that’s on a street only 

200m long. 

THe city council is investigating 

putting no-stopping restrictions 

along the lane, which runs off 

Deans Ave, as businesses are 

plagued by night-time antisocial 

behaviour. 

THis has created a safety issue 

for staff working at night in 

adjacent buildings, including the 

New Zealand Blood Service and 

CropLogic, a city council report 

said. 

Feedback is open on the plan, 

which would see no-stopping 

restrictions along the lane from 

11pm to 5am. 

“THe no stopping restrictions 

will enable NZ Police to move 

vehicles on and stop vehicles and 

their passengers from gathering 

here,” the report said.

Pupils inspired by Canterbury pools 

PUPILS TESTED out four 

different aquatic facilities around 

Canterbury to get ideas for the 

new Linwood-Woolston Pool. 

Pupils from St Anne’s Catholic 

School, Bamford School, Catholic 

Cathedral College and Te Waka 

Unua School were among those 

that went on the trip. 

“The purpose of the tours were 

for the students to experience a 

range of pools so that they can 

have informed discussion that 

draws on their knowledge and 

experiences. This will be most 

helpful when the time comes for 

formal engagement on the design 

of the new Linwood pool,” said 

St Anne’s principal Dallas Wichman. 

The pools visited were the 

Selwyn Aquatic Facility in Rolleston, 

Caroline Bay Trust Aoraki 

Centre in Timaru, Dudley Park 

Aquatic Centre in Rangiora and 

Taiora: QE II Recreation and 

Sports Centre. 

The pupils’ favourite was the 

Timaru pool because it was deep, 

had a dive tower, diving board 

and two hydroslides. 

They also enjoyed QE II 

because of the lazy river and 

hydroslide.

Love of league brings family together 

• By Jacob Page 

HALSWELL RUGBY league 

teenagers Tanner Smith and 

Cooper Te Hau are carrying on 

a family friendship which spans 

four generations. 

They are both Halswell Hornets 

and Canterbury under-14 

teammates – two decades after 

their grandfathers Norm Geddes 

and Peter Smith played with 

and against each other in the 

1970s. 

Ironically their fathers, Cooper 

and Tanner’s great-grandfathers, 

Arthur Geddes and Pat Smith 

shared a similar friendship 

through rugby league, playing 

with and against each other in 

various teams. 

Pat’s name is on the trophy the 

winners of the Canterbury premier 

rugby league final receive 

each year. 

Pat was 31-years-old when he 

first played for the Kiwis in 1946. 

The front-row forward captained 

the national team in 38 

appearances – including 10 

consecutive tests – between 1947 

and 1949. 

Peter was a Canterbury and 

South Island representative in the 

1960s. 

Norm, a Papanui stalwart 

and Peter, a Marist regular, 

played against each other 

throughout the 1960s and early 

1970s. 

FAMILY AFFAIR: Peter Smith (left), his grandson Tanner Stowers-Smith, Cooper Te Hau and his grandfather Norm Geddes enjoy a 

family friendship built by their love of rugby league which spans four generations. (Right) – Former Kiwis captain Pat Smith. 

PHOTO: RACHAEL TE HAU 

“My dad used to pick up Peter 

in the morning when they used 

to live out at Prebbleton but 

we’d see each other on the field,” 

Norm said. 

“It’s quite a thrill to think 

our families have crossed paths 

through sport for all these years.” 

Norm was a second-rower who 

transitioned into the centres late 

in his career and picked up a 

Canterbury top try-scorers title 

near the end of his career in the 

1970s. 

Cooper and Tanner are now 

coached at Halswell by Cooper’s 

father, Kevin Te Hau. 

Winter Saturdays are busy for 

SPORTS 

the boys, as Tanner plays rugby 

for St Bede’s College and Cooper 

plays rugby for St Thomas’ in the 

morning before they play rugby 

league for the Hornets.

Vehicles 

tagged 

with rude 

messages 


SEVERAL BROOMFIELD 

and Islington residents were 

left with some rude signs on 

their vehicles. 

A vehicle was tagged with 

the phrase, “drugs?” while 

another had “pedo van free 

candy?” Others had male genitalia 

spray painted on the sides 

and bonnets. A police spokeswoman 

said two incidents of 

tagging on cars were reported 

but victims informed them of 

other incidents in the area that 

went unreported by vehicle 

owners. 

Between 8pm on Friday and 

10am on Saturday a Toyota 

Corolla on Brixton St was 

reported to have been tagged 

and between 2am and 8am on 

Sunday a Nissan diesel MK240 

truck on Malabar Cres was 

tagged, she said. “We do encourage 

people to report these 

incidents to give us an accurate 

picture of what’s happening in 

our communities.” 

No arrests have been made 

in relation to the tagging and 

investigations are ongoing. 


A BULLDOZER may soon be 

put through the earthquake 

damaged and graffiti-riddled 

former Sockburn Service Centre. 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board last 

week asked city council staff to 

start work on demolishing the 

old Sockburn Service Centre. 

Chairman Mike Mora said 

the board made it “clear” to city 

council staff about its intentions. 

“We want it removed as soon 

as possible because it’s a bit of an 

eyesore and it’s a bit of a mess.” 

City council head of facilities, 

property and planning Bruce 

Rendall said staff are currently 

working on a report where demolition 

plans are being drawn up. 

“This report will be presented 

to the community board in August,” 

Mr Rendall said. 

At last week’s meeting, the 

board also voted to retain the 

land on Main South Rd, which 

the centre is on. 

“There is possibility for us to 

continue to use the site [after 

demolition] and keep it in public 

hands so that’s where we’re at 

this point in time,” Mr Mora 

said. 

The centre was closed after the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

One option that the city 

council looked at for the site 

was an access road through the 

land from Main South Rd to 

Blenheim Rd after the building is 

demolished. 

But Mr Mora said that option 

has not been taken any further. 

Greater Hornby Residents Association 

chairman Marc Duff 

said the site could potentially be 

looked at for a new $35.7 million 

community mega centre. 

“It’s really in the city council’s 

hands. As a community we’ve 

got to be prepared to look at all 

sites [for a centre].” 

Mr Duff said many residents 

felt it needed to be demolished.

“There’s a feeling in the community

“Especially as it’s on a

from the south [because] you 

see it from both sides [on Main 

South Rd and Blenheim Rd],” he 

said.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

Specialists advise a vehicle 

check before winter sets in 

Winter weather can present a range of tricky driving conditions 

for motorists – from wet, slippery roads and heavy frosts to fog 

and driving rain. That’s why it is important to make sure your 

vehicle is in tip-top shape and ready to deal with these hazards 

before winter really sets in. 

The team at Roses Auto Electrical in Cranford Street recommends 

checking that your lights and windscreen wipers are in working 

order, and to ensure your vehicle will start on cold mornings they 

offer free battery and alternator and starter tests, and free battery 

fitting. 

Their well-equipped workshop includes specialised diagnostic 

equipment designed to find any faults with vehicles’ electronics, air 

bags or ABS braking system, which the qualified and experienced 

auto electrical specialists will repair quickly and efficiently. 

Roses Auto Electrical provides full electrical services for all 

makes and models of European, Japanese and light commercial 

vehicles. Any time a warning light flashes up on the dashboard, 

they advise calling into their workshop to have it checked out. 

Roses Auto Electrical has been in business for more than 20 years, 

and the workshop team are constantly updating their knowledge 

with industry training, as well as having the latest state-of-the-art 

equipment in the workshop. 

The customer comes first for the friendly, professional team at 

Roses Auto Electrical, and motorists having their vehicle serviced 

there can have confidence in its performance and safety, especially 

with the cold weather approaching when driving is often more 

hazardous. 

Roses Auto Electrical is located at 518 Cranford Street, 

Papanui. Phone 352 5090 to book in for service or repairs,

HOME & HEATING 

Get rid of 

dampness 

in your house 

Now with the colder and wetter weather on 

its way, home owners are focusing on ways 

to make their homes comfortable, warm and 

healthy for their families throughout winter. 

Rising damp is an issue that affects many of 

our older properties which suffer from poor, or 

no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake, 

many people have relocated to homes 

that suffer from rising damp which can be 

associated with health problems. Independent 

tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can 

rise from the ground and enter a house every 

day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation 

and musty smells. Moulds can produce 

various allergic reactions and the 

frail, elderly and very young are 

especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete 

Ltd is a locally owned and 

operated firm. The team 

understands the problems 

caused by rising damp and are 

there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump 

a lightweight, flowable foam 

concrete under your timber 

floored home. Specially adapted 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

for our New Zealand conditions and 

applications it provides a layer of protection 

against rising moisture. An unexpected 

benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam 

Concrete have noticed recently, is that many 

owners of properties which had underfloor 

foam concrete installed, reported that it also 

provided protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd 

now for your free, no obligation quote and 

complimentary appraisal of your underfloor 

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the 

right heat pump 

for your home 

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, 

most homes include at least one heat pump, 

if not a whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more 

convenient than a log burner as you just need 

to press a button. But how do you decide what 

is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is 

key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every 

situation varies and it is therefore important 

to get professional advice from heat pump 

experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it 

is important to select the correct size for your 

requirements that will handle the job but not 

be unnecessarily overpowered. 

Secondly, the location of your heat pump 

is also extremely important. The cheapest 

installation is a back to back where the outdoor 

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor 

unit however this is not necessarily always 

the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands vary 

in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems 

and price, so it depends on your application as 

to which will be most suitable. Major brands 

such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin, 

Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands 

backed up by good technical after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but also 

validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the 

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi 

capabilities. 

Heating is a major investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the right advice. 

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply, 

installation and servicing of all major brands 

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers 

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as 

to which system will suit your application 

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no 

obligation quote and will come to your home 

to see what is required.

What makes a great 

Heat Transfer System? 

There are a number of Heat Transfer 

systems on the market. Smooth-Air 

ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU 

Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected 

components to optimise the system: 

They use insulated duct to transfer the 

heated air with as little heat loss as possible. 

The fan moves sufficient air for the distance 

and number of rooms, without being noisy. 

The diffusers send the heat to the floor, 

not to skim the across the ceilings. All 

components are good quality - designed to 

operate for years without problems. 

Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of 

options: One to four rooms, with or without 

thermostat and with a choice of grilles and 

diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency 

in your house, as you are using excess 

heat. They have low power consumption 

- only 80watts for the three room system. 

Circulating air through the house also 

reduces the risk of damp. 

You can also choose the HTU version 

with downjet diffusers, which throw the 

warm air downwards to the floor. These 

downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to 

regulate which room receives the most 

warm air. 

An average size living room requires 2-4 

kw of heating, yet appliances such as log 

burners generate heat in the region of 10 

-20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of 

heat which sits at high level in the heated 

room, usually above door level. 

Heat transfer units work best where very 

hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the 

ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate 

warm air around the room with no 

layering, are not suitable as a heat source 

by themselves. However, if you have both 

log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer 

systems with thermostat can work very 

well: The heat pump stops operating once 

the heat from the fire has heated the room, 

and the heat transfer kicks in above this 

point, once there is a layer of hot air at the 

ceiling.

(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help 

you with your Heat Transfer, as well as 

any other ventilation requirements.

The Atarmies 

LEGENDARY local rockers The Atarmies play a 

Sunday arvo session at the Brighton Club this 

weekend. 

The four piece, made up of Mark Jayet 

(drums, vocals); Mark Wootton (lead guitar, 

vocals); Dennis Abbott (bass, vocals); and 

Darren Alexander (lead vocals guitar), has been 

engaging audiences with their special blend of 

classic rock and blues for well over a decade. 

Catch them at the club from 3pm. Or even 

better still, make a day of it and start with 

brunch! The Pierview Restaurant is open from 

10.30am to 2pm offering all the expected 

scrumptious breakfast/brunch delights. 

Located upstairs in the New Brighton Club, 

the Pierview Restaurant has always been a 

popular destination for dining and private 

functions. Offering uninterrupted views of 

beach, pier and coastline, the view is a stunning 

accompaniment to any occasion. 

Apart from Sunday Brunch the Pierview is 

open from 5.30pm Friday to Sunday serving 

quality, yet very affordable, a la carte dining that 

includes GF and vegetarian options. The 

restaurant also caters to children. 

The last Sunday of the month has turned into 

a tradition with the Pierview’s ‘all you can eat’ 

Buffet. Priced at just $25 per person, tables fill 

fast on buffet nights, so bookings are essential. 

And on all the other Sundays, there’s a choice of 

the regular dinner menu, blackboard specials, or 

take advantage of the great value $25 set three 

course Sunday special. 

Downstairs the club's Tramshed Bistro is open 

for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Saturday with a 

great selection of meals, light meals, and snacks. 

As well as live music and great dining, the 

New Brighton Club provides big screen sport 

and rugby, gaming room, plus social and 

sporting sections. New Member enquiries are 

most welcome. The New Brighton Club, 202
