Stepping down after 25 years 

• By Anan Zaki 

FOR 25 years, Jon Rogers has 

read out the names at Hornby 

High School’s prize-givings. 

It was the deputy principal’s 

job, and one he has taken pride 

in doing. 

But last week’s event was 

different. It was Mr Rogers’ last 

prize-giving. 

The 66-year-old is stepping 

down, and will hand over the 

deputy role that he has made 

his own over the past two 

decades. 

His work was so appreciated, 

that Hornby High School 

students and staff gave him a 

standing ovation at last week’s 

special assembly. 

“All the staff and people in 

the audience standing up and I 

thought goodness. It was a very, 

very special moment and meant 

an enormous amount to me,” 

Mr Rogers said. 

Born in Katikati, Bay of 

Plenty, Mr Rogers grew up in 

Auckland. 

Prior to joining Hornby High 

School in 1994, he taught social 

studies and history at Penrose 

High School in Auckland, where 

he started his career in 1975.

food 

meeting 


HALSWELL-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board will go 

behind-closed-doors to decide if it 

will continue spending ratepayers’ 

money on food for its fortnightly 

meetings. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

said members will discuss the 

catering costs 

at tonight’s 

meeting, which 

will exclude the 

public. 

The community 

board has 

spent more than 

$10,000 since it 

was elected in 

Mike Mora 

October 2016 – the highest of any 

community board. 

The food is available at its 

meetings for board members, city 

council staff and members of the 

public who attend. 

“It’s an internal matter. I don’t 

see the need that it needs to be 

[public]. It’s a discussion we need 

to have to gauge each other’s 

responses as to what they see as 

our needs,” Mr Mora said.

IF YOU ARE going to the Hornby- 

Halswell-Riccarton Community Board 

meeting tonight, there’s one discussion 

you won’t get to hear. 

Board members will go in-committee 

to talk about ratepayer-funded food they 

consume at meetings. Food at the city’s community boards has 

been a source of debate since we revealed the costs a few weeks 

ago. 

In-committee means the public is excluded from that part of 

the meeting. Journalists can stay but they are prohibited from 

reporting what is said. That’s why they will leave the room and 

then get what was discussed/debated another way. 

Board members have come up with lame reasons why the 

meeting is being held in secret. 

It’s less than a year to the next election. That’s the drum 

beating in the background.

Frustration after water cut off 

Construction firm 

faces backlash 

from residents 


AVONHEAD residents are 

unhappy after construction at a 

retirement village shut off their 

water for hours without notice. 

The residents were upset again 

when only some of the affected 

people were given an apology 

by the construction site’s owner, 

Summerset. 

The incident happened on 

October 25, when residents on 

Hawthornden Rd and Henridge 

Pl lost water unexpectedly at 

about 10am. They did not get 

their water supply back until 

about 4.30pm that day. 

Henridge Pl resident Nicola 

McCormick said what had 

frustrated her the most was the 

lack of acknowledgement of the 

incident from Summerset. 

“The thing that really 

annoyed residents of Henridge 

Pl was they [Summerset] 

sent an apology to residents 

of Hawthornden Rd, but 

didn’t send one for us,” Mrs 

McCormick said. 

“They should use some

and find out who was affected.” 

A Summerset spokeswoman 

said a water pipe fractured 

during work at the site. She said 

Summerset was unaware that 

Henridge Pl was affected by the 

water outage and apologised to 

the residents who did not receive 

an apology. 

The incident is under 

investigation, the spokeswoman 

said.

said in this instance the 

council’s focus was to make the 

repair as quickly as possible. 

“However, as the outage is 

unplanned, we may not have the 

chance to notify every affected 

resident. We have listened to 

the feedback following this 

incident and we will review 

our process and see if there are 

better alternatives for notifying 

affected residents in these 

situations,” Mr Mackie said.

Public excluded from 

decision on catering 

•From page 1 

Board member Debbie Mora 

is against the idea of discussing 

the future of the catering behindclosed-doors. 

“I feel as a ratepayer, they have 

a right to hear how we discuss 

how it’s [rates] 

spent,” Ms Mora 

said. 

She said 

catering should 

be minimised to 

items such as tea 

Helen 

Broughton 

and coffee. 

Board deputy 

chairwoman 

Helen Broughton 

said she previously attempted to 

hold discussions about 

the catering twice, 

but was 

deferred 

due to 

long 

seminars. She said catering 

became a topic of discussion at 

the board after inquiries from 

Western News last month. 

Ms Broughton felt if the 

discussion is held behind-closeddoors, 

members would be more 

open about how they felt about 

catering. 

“I’ve given an understanding 

to other board members that it 

will be an offline discussion,” she 

said. 

But if the catering discussion 

is deferred again at the next 

meeting, Ms Broughton said she 

will file a notice of motion to 

discuss it publicly. 

Ms Broughton also felt her 

board spent “too much” on 

catering. 

WW1 history saved 


WHEN RETIRED Fendalton 

wool merchant Keith Whitfield 

was at a rubbish burn-off in the 

1940s, he saw a distinct piece of 

paper. 

It was a billboard for The Star, 

announcing the Armistice on 

November 12, 1918 (NZ time), 

which marked the end of World 

War 1. 

Mr Whitfield, 88, asked the 

owner of the billboard if he could 

keep it. 

“He was just going to throw it 

into the fire and I said ‘hey, I’ll 

have that’,” he said. 

“I thought it might be worth 

hanging onto, not knowing I 

would be here a 100 years from 

the date of it.” 

Mr Whitfield, who lives in 

Fendalton, framed it and loaned 

it to the Papanui RSA about 20 

years ago, where it is still on 

display. 

His father Alex and his two 

uncles, Harold and Herb, all 

served in WW1. The three 

Whitfield brothers all survived 

the war. They served in France 

and Egypt. 

“They were very lucky. [My 

father] was gassed, and coughed 

his whole life,” he said. 

Mr Whitfield never got the

Disappointment over liquor licence 


RICCARTON residents are 

disappointed after a pool hall’s 

liquor licence application was 

given the go-ahead. 

The Common Room, previously 

known as More Pool at 119 

Riccarton Rd faced a challenge 

from locals about its proposed 

liquor sale hours of 8am to 2am 

daily. 

But the residents’ challenge 

was largely unsuccessful. 

The city council’s district 

licensing committee decision 

on October 29 stated that the 

Common Room is allowed to 

sell alcohol from 8am to 1am, 

Sunday to Thursday – one hour 

less than the business wanted. 

But on Friday and Saturday, 

the Common Room can sell 

alcohol from 8am to 2am. 

The licensing committee 

said the 1am closing time was 

ordered due to concerns about 

nuisance on weekdays. 

Riccarton Bush and Kilmarnock 

Residents’ Association 

chairman Tony Simons was 

unhappy with the licensing committee 

decision. 

“I don’t think that will make a 

difference. But our main concern 

was about another new tavern 

licence in the area,” Mr Simons 

said. At the district licensing 

committee hearing, Common 

GREEN LIGHT: The Common Room, previously known as 

More Pool, has been granted a liquor licence. 

Room owner Matthew Glanville 

said his business was not a 

tavern but an entertainment 

venue with pool tables and dart 

boards. 

The licensing committee said it 

was satisfied with Mr Glanville’s 

explanation. 

Mr Glanville could not be 

reached for comment. 

Mr Simons believes the pool 

hall and “entertainment venue” 

will increase loitering in an 

area which has previously been 

plagued by anti-social behaviour 

near the Riccarton Rd bus 

lounges. 

But the licensing committee 

said the anti-social behaviour at 

the bus lounges has improved 

through the collective work of 

the community and police. 

Police did not object to the 

application. The licence will be 

valid for 12 months before Mr 

Glanville has to renew it. 

Mr Simons said the residents 

will not appeal the application. 

•From page 1 

Over the years, he has seen 

plenty of change at Hornby 

High School. 

Mr Rogers has worked with 

six principals, hundreds of 

teachers and thousands of 

students in those years. 

“When I first arrived, I think 

the school did lack confidence 

in itself. It had started 20 years 

before and the roll grew and 

then fell,” Mr Rogers said. 

“The school was decreasing 

[in size], and losing teachers. So, 

there was a lack of confidence at 

the school, but it’s not evident 

now,” he said. 

That confidence has grown 

with the school rebuild, 

something he has played a key 

role in overseeing. 

Mr Rogers said the physical 

changes to the school did not 

make him feel old. 

“I’m quite invigorated and 

excited by everything I see here 

and with a certain amount 

of regret that I’m helping to 

establish it all . . . but it’s going 

to be for others to carry on the 

good work.” 

He said he was happy with 

being deputy for 25 years 

instead of moving on or

“There have been other [job] 

opportunities, over the time but 

in all honesty I’ve been most 

comfortable in the deputy’s 

role,” Mr Rogers said. 

He said the most memorable 

thing about the school are the 

students and teachers. 

“They’re friendly, work hard 

and they’re just good honest 

straight up kids,” Mr Rogers 

said. 

“I occasionally wish 

that they would have more 

confidence in their own abilities 

but that’s what we’re here for,

Working with an “amazing

another year, before looking at

Kirkwood Opportunities 

‘Schooling for the Whole Child’ 

At Kirkwood we are very proud of our children and their achievements. Our pupils have many opportunities to participate 

in a wide range of education activities including Technology; ICT; Music; Drama; Education Outside The Classroom; 

Leadership roles; Camps; Academic challenges; and Sports. Our pupils develop a wide range of skills which helps them 

develop educationally, socially, emotionally and physically during their time with us. Just a few of the opportunities our 

pupils have experienced this year are as follows: 

Education Outside the 

Classroom 

We visit many different places within our community 

such as Canterbury Museum, Riccarton House 

and the Art Gallery. We also offer class camps for 

our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils. This year our Year 

7’s camped at Purau Bay where they experienced 

canoeing, abseiling and camping skills, along 

with getting to know their class and developing 

friendships. 

Our Year 8 pupils are currently enjoying their 

Wellington camp. These camps provide 

great opportunities for learning and personal 

development. 

China Trip 

Part way through the July school holidays, Ethan, Brooke, Aaliya, Casper, 

Mackenzie, Lauren, Ryan, Alexander, Katie and Grace and two teachers 

had the opportunity to explore China. This was the first Panda camp we 

have attended. 

The following article was written by Katie and Alex: 

‘The Temple of Heaven, the Pearl Markets, the Summer Palace and 

seeing the general lifestyle of the Chinese people. They were able to see 

some beautiful buildings with long, rich histories of emperors and different 

dynasties. Haggling is common at the Pearl Markets and was a very 

different experience for us, which encouraged us to quickly learn about 

converting yuan into New Zealand dollars to get a good price. We also 

really enjoyed the boat ride across the Emperor’s lake; there have been 

many great memories made as a group. 

Our days at the Chinese school were busy - making new friends, teaching 

rakau and the cup song, learning Chinese calligraphy and songs as well as 

experiencing a huge school cafeteria, which was a very different experience! 

It was a great opportunity to see how school works in a different country 

and try new things. We all enjoyed teaching physical education games such 

as elastics and a football/badminton game that we pretty much invented. 

Duck, duck, goose was also a favourite amongst the pupils in China! 

We were fortunate to continue to travel and see incredible sights such as 

The Great Wall of China, where we were all able to walk a section. Another 

highlight was the Beijing Zoo, it was a great chance to see some rare 

animals but the living conditions were very sad. In addition to these places 

we also visited the 2008 Olympic venues, the Water Cube and the Bird’s 

Nest, as well as the Olympic torch and Olympic Village areas which we 

found to be interesting. Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City also 

hold important places in Chinese history and often we were in awe of how 

immense these places are in addition to hearing about the incredible history 

behind the building of these structures. The National Museum of China was 

also very impressive in both the artwork and size of the building! 

We will all recall some amazing chances to explore a different culture, some 

interesting memories for us as Kirkwood United and the opportunity to 

represent Kirkwood with pride as global youth ambassadors. We would like 

to say a huge thank you to Miss Toaolamai and Mr Gaut for their support 

on the trip. Thank you to our parents for encouraging us to take up such an 

awesome opportunity. We all had an amazing time and hope to see more 

Kirkwood students exploring the world in years to come! 

Sports 

We participate in a large variety of sports including: Netball, Football, Cross 

Country, Skiing, Swimming, Rugby, Basketball, Waterpolo, Touch Rugby, Korf 

Ball, Table Tennis, Badminton, Athletics and Gymnastics. We also compete in 

the Canterbury Association of Intermediate and Middle Schooling competitions. 

Our school is well known for the courtesy, co-operation and sportsmanship 

of our teams and we value this highly. Some of the highlights this year are as 

follows: 

Example from last year: 

Korfball Tournament - We sent two teams to the Canterbury Korfball 

Tournament. Bowls Tournament - we had 12 successfully compete at the 

Canterbury Bowls Tournament. Table Tennis - 4 of our Table Tennis teams 

were placed in the top 3 of their weekly competition. Girls’ Basketball team 

were placed third in their Friday evening competition. 

Many of our pupils have been selected to represent Canterbury and/or have 

been selected for the Nationals in various sports which makes our school proud. 

Technology 

Our on-site technology centre provides our pupils 

with a range of creative learning experiences in 

different areas: Foods, Electronics, Robotics and 

Materials (metal, wood, fabric and plastic). Our 

pupils have created a large variety of work this 

year. We also participate in Robofest, Future in 

Tech programmes, EPro8 and 3D printing. 

Programmes focus on Planning for Practice, Brief 

Development and Outcome Evaluation. 

ICT: We have pods of touch screen laptops,

Stedman picks up top award 

• By Jacob Page 

RIO PARALYMPIC bronze 

medallist William Stedman 

has been named Middleton 

Grange’s sportsman of the year 

for the third consecutive time. 

Stedman, who has cerebral 

palsy won four gold medals at 

the national championships in 

March. 

He won the 200m, 400m, 

800m and long jump. 

The 18-year-old who lives in 

Cashmere said he was hugely 

honoured by the feat. 

“It’s extremely humbling to 

win the award once let alone 

three times,” he said. 

He said winning a mainstream 

award as a disabled 

athlete was a sign of the times. 

“You’re seeing para-sports 

becoming more integrated with 

regular events and that’s really 

exciting to see.” 

Stedman started running 

after seeing the London Paralympics 

in 2012. 

“I started running longer 

distances and cross country 

events for my club, Port Hills, 

but I was encouraged to try 

sprint distances because I was 

still young in 2014.” 

He and coach George Edwards 

have been a team since 

then. 

“George and I get on really 

well and he’s great at coaching 

me to coach myself and 

explaining why we do certain 

things. 

William has the world championships 

in the latter part of 

next year to focus on but said 

winning Paralympic gold in 

2020 was the ultimate focus. 

“Having a big break between 

major events has allowed me to 

focus on my form and actually 

see the progression as it happens,” 

he said. 

“It can be hard to try to peak 

three times a year so with world 

champs still a year away, it’s 

been a big plus for me to just 

concentrate on training. 

“I think the long jump is 

where I have my best chance 

and while I’m not bad at the 

400m it’s not the most pleasant 

event for me,” he said. “It 

hurts.” 

Stedman is looking to study 

engineering part-time at the 

University of Canterbury while 

continuing to focus on his 

athletics. 

TALENTED: Middleton 

Grange sprinter William 

Stedman has been named 

the school’s sportsman of 

the year. 

Bid to drown car fails 

• By Matt Salmons 

CAR THIEVES who took a car 

from Aidanfield on a joyride on 

Tuesday morning found that 

dumping it in Lyttelton Harbour 

was harder than they thought. 

The stolen car was reported 

to police at 5.45am after it was 

found dangling precariously over 

the water’s edge in the Naval 

Point parking area, near the 

Godley Quay, Cyrus Williams 

Quay intersection in Lyttelton. 

Lyttelton Police supervisor 

Sergeant Franco Lovrich said he 

suspected the car would have 

been taken by youths, however, 

police had no suspects as yet. 

“It’s been taken for a bit of joyride 

and it’s done a few wheelies 

Local 


Now 


and stuff down at the boat ramp 

at Naval Point.” 

Sergeant Lovrich said it appeared 

the car had been left in 

gear with the “intention of driving 

it off the edge.” 

However, that plan did not 

work out, Sergeant Lovrich said, 

with the car prevented from entering 

the water by the rocks and 

the angle of the descent. 

The vehicle had since been 

removed. As the owner was 

overseas, family members 

arranged to have it towed.

For high school students 

choosing a future career 

can be a daunting prospect. To 

give students a chance to try 

before they buy, Ara Institute of 

Canterbury has expanded their 

programme of taster sessions 

to cater for juniors picking their 

NCEA subjects, as well as seniors 

figuring out their next steps. 

Imagine trying out being a web 

developer for a day, a performing 

arts student at NASDA, or an 

engineer. Experience Ara is aiding students to 

close the gap between reading about something 

and actually giving it a go. 

The Experience Ara programme has proven 

hugely successful in providing high school 

students with a taste of tertiary study, and a 

hands-on way to explore their interests. In 

2018, 2344 students have registered to 269 

events offered in a range of tertiary subjects 

including Science, Creative Industries, Trades 

and Business. Out of all the young people who 

registered for Experience Ara 2018, 911 have 

applied to study with Ara in 2019. 

Due to high demand, the new programme 

for 2019 has even more occurrences and a 

broader variety of events. For 2019, Ara has 

proposed 242 events, with exciting new additions 

such as Introduction to Medical Imaging, 

Diving into Data Computing Taster and Builder 

for a Day. 

Emma West, Ara Engagement Manager said, 

“By providing a range of experiential opportunities, 

in subject areas that align with employment 

opportunities, we are playing a part in 

helping young people to make big decisions.” 

A year 13 from Catholic Cathedral College 

who attended the Re: Structure Portfolio 

Workshop for students interested in architecture 

said they appreciated the personal 

guidance that it gave them, and they now 

have “clear knowledge of the course they want 

to take.” 

Ara is not only the largest tertiary institute in 

the South Island, it’s also one of the top-ranking 

institutes in New Zealand, with one of the 

highest course completion rates in the country. 

Students can register online to attend junior 

taster sessions (years 9-10), senior taster 

sessions (years 11-13), holiday workshops, 

and NCEA credited STAR courses.

Broughton concerned 

over e-scooter danger 

SAFETY FIRST: Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board 

deputy chairwoman Helen Broughton does not want Lime scooters 

on the middle of roads. 


WELL-KNOWN local body 

politician Helen Broughton 

says she is concerned about 

Lime scooters being ridden 

dangerously. 

The Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board 

deputy chairwoman spotted 

three Christchurch Boys’ High 

School students and a girl 

speeding down the middle 

of Rata St, Riccarton, on the 

scooters on October 16. 

Lime scooters are only 

allowed to be used by people 

aged over 18. 

She emailed Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel, city councillors and her 

fellow board members to point 

out the teenagers “dangerous” 

actions. 

The teens appeared about 16, 

Ms Broughton said. 

Lime scooters should not 

be driven in the middle of the 

road, she said. 

“They were going at top speed 

down the middle of the road, 

and if cars had been turning 

into Rata St there could have 

been a serious accident, where 

the teenagers could have been 

badly-injured,” Ms Broughton 

said. 

“I am bringing this to your 

attention so you are aware of 

some foolhardy practices by 

teenagers under-18,” she said. 

CBHS principal Nic Hill 

said he was unable to identify 

the four boys involved and 

said the incident happened on 

the senior students’ last day of 

school. He said Lime scooters 

are not the issue. 

“I don’t know if more controls 

are going to stop foolhardy 

practices by teenagers.” 

“But when we see something 

wrong we should do something 

about it and we commend 

Helen for trying to look out 

for other people,” Mr Hill 

said. 

The school has not “really 

talked about” Lime scooters he 

said. 

“We’ve told the kids that they 

can’t come through school,” Mr 

Hill said. 

“But let’s not blame e-scooters 

for teenagers making foolhardy 

decisions because their brains 

don’t quite work properly at the 

moment.” 

In the first two weeks since 

their October 15 launch, the 

city council reported more than 

65,000 Lime trips by more than 

27,000 riders. 

Historic events a time to ponder our past 

Halswell 

Residents’ 

Association 

secretary 

David Hawke 

remembers 

two historic 

events 

This is a story 

about living and listening to the 

past in our present. 

On October 15, Halswell 

Residents’ Association and 

Waipuna-Halswell/Hornby/Riccarton 

Community Board hosted 

the inauguration of a memorial 

on the 65th anniversary of a horrendous 

crash at Wigram air base 

that killed seven RNZAF airmen. 

We were touched that over 70 

people chose to come along to 

mark the occasion. Now, following 

another Halswell Residents’ 

Association initiative, we are 

hoping that some streets in a 

new subdivision will be named 

after soldiers from Halswell who 

died in the 1914-18 war. And 

city-wide, we have just finished 

celebrating Heritage Week. 

All of these events point to an 

interest in pondering our past 

and the people who came before 

us. 

But there is more. 

The 137th anniversary of the 

ghastly invasion by the New Zealand 

Government of the peaceful 

settlement of Parihaka has just 

passed, and Rachel Buchanan has 

written a book Ko Taranaki te 

maunga (or, loosely, “Taranaki is 

my mountain”). 

The outstanding element of 

the book, in my view, is how she 

shows that the consequences 

of an event such as Parihaka 

travel down the generations. 

She chooses not to promote an 

attitude of revenge or retribution, 

but instead emphasises shame 

and how to address it.

A BURNSIDE High School 

student is set to star in the first 

opera put on by Christchurch 

residents since the earthquakes. 

Grant Weihs will play the title 

role in the nativity story Amahl 

and the Night Visitors 

on Saturday. 

The production 

marks the first time 

in almost 10 years 

– when The Magic 

Flute was on stage in 

2009 – that a locallyproduced 

opera 

has been offered 

to Christchurch 

audiences. 

United States 

composer Gian Carlo Menotti 

wrote Amahl and the Night 

Visitors in the early 1950s. It is 

centred around a young disabled 

boy called Amahl, who is played 

by Grant. 

The show is a one-act opera 

about Amahl, who has a 

fondness for tall tales. 

His mother has to live with his 

active imagination, but is also at 

her wit’s end trying to put food 

on the table and secure a future 

SCHOOLS 

Burnside student in 

lead role as opera 

returns to the city 

for her son. After Amahl tells 

his mother about a star “bigger 

than a window” over their roof, 

she retires to bed, but then three 

kings turn up on the doorstep 

looking for somewhere to stay 

for the night. They are 

fed and entertained, and 

offer Amahl a chance for a 

better life. 

The play will have a 

family-oriented matinee 

performance at 2pm on 

Saturday. 

It will then be on stage 

again during an evening 

programme of handpicked 

seasonal choral 

Grant Weihs 

music starting at 7.30pm at 

the The Piano: Centre for Music 

and the Arts. 

Produced and directed by 

Broadway veteran Ravil Atlas, 

and featuring the Atlas Voices 

Ensemble, the evening will end 

with the New Zealand premier of 

Hodie by US composer Z Randall 

Stroope, complete with brass 

octet, organ and percussion. 

•Tickets for both 

performances are available

Walk your dog to the moon and back 

EVERY MAN and his dog is 

being encouraged to walk the 

distance from the earth to the 

moon to raise funds for animal 

welfare. 

The SPCA’s newly-created 

nationwide event Walk Your 

Dog to the Moon will see owners 

and their dogs walk the distance 

of 385,500km to help raise funds 

for animals in need. 

Registered moonwalkers in the 

city attended an official launch 

event at the beginning of the 

month at Bottle Lake Forrest 

and were attended by about 150 

people. 

As of last week, participants 

have fundraised about $98,000 

for the organisation through 

individual fundraising pages. 

The launch event was set up by 

Fusion Events and had moonwalkers 

head into the forest and 

over the sand dunes. 

There was a race village with 

a “doggie rest station,” a Bean 

Supreme barbecue, live music 

and water stations. 

The fundraiser comes as new 

research conducted by SPCA 

revealed many Kiwi dog owners 

aren’t doing as much as they can 

to look after a family pet. 

Findings showed 60 per cent 

of New Zealanders think a dog 

should be walked at least seven 

times a week. 

But in reality, fewer than 30 

EXERCISE: Ace and Charlie walking at Bottle Lake Forrest. Ace 

is a furrbassador for the SPCA’s Walk Your Dog to the Moon 

event. He was rescued by SPCA and readopted. 

per cent of Kiwi dog owners are 

actually doing this. 

SPCA CEO Andrea Midgen 

said the goal of the fundraiser is 

to raise money to help animals 

in trouble. 

“It’s also about encouraging 

dog owners to get out walking 

more. This research has shown 

us that Kiwis’ expectations 

around dog walking are very different 

from the reality,” she said. 

The SPCA is aiming to raise 

at least $150,000 nationwide 

through the event. All funds 

donated will be used to directly 

help rescue, rehabilitate and 

rehome animals. 

A $12 registration fee applies 

and each participant will receive 

a doggy pedometer, doggy bandana 

and a welcome pack.

Timely advice from 

McGirr Motors 

As the warmer weather and Christmas 

holidays approach, McGirr Motors owner 

Gary Lake suggests now is a great time 

to get your air-conditioning and cooling 

system checked. 

Gary also recommends a Vehicle Holiday 

Check for those planning a long road trip 

over the Christmas break. This will lessen 

the risk of a breakdown and the team will 

discuss any work, if required, prior to it 

being carried out. They also offer a full 

service.

Sami caps top year on the bike 

SPORTS 

POWER: St Thomas’ Caius Faatili was a big reason his team 

qualified for the national Condor Sevens competition in 

Auckland. 

St Thomas’ aim to show 

flair at Condor Sevens 


ST THOMAS of Canterbury 

College sevens coach Jonny 

Leo’o believes his team has the 

flair and raw talent to compete 

with the best at the national 

tournament. 

The Condor Sevens national 

secondary school tournament 

will features more than 100 

teams across open boys and 

girls grade as well as under-15s. 

It runs from November 29 

to December 2 at Auckland’s 

Sacred Heart College. 

St Thomas’ qualified for the 

open grade along with Timaru 

Boys’ High School. The two 

teams played in the Canterbury 

regional final last month, with 

TBHS winning 10-0. 

“I believe it’s the first time 

in a long time that we have 

qualified, so now that we have, I 

think the boys will take a lot of 

confidence from it.” 

Leo’o said his team has a 

mix of talented rugby and 

rugby league players and, while 

meshing the styles was initially 

challenging, it has created an 

exciting brand of play. 


BURNSIDE HIGH School track 

cyclist Sami Donnelly is still 

pinching herself over the stellar 

12 months she’s had. 

The 16-year-old was the 

supreme winner at the school’s 

sports awards 

and also won a 

Zonta award. 

Sami was 

the youngest 

member of the 

New Zealand 

team at the 

junior world 

Sami 

Donnelly 

championships 

in Switzerland. 

Having won 

gold at the Oceania under-19 

women’s team pursuit last year, 

Sami said she is eager to push her 

claim to ride in endurance races 

next season. 

“I’m definitely more interested 

in doing endurance races and 

pushing myself that way.’ 

Sami is the daughter of former 

Olympic team pursuit cyclist, 

Nigel Donnelly, who competed 

in 1988 and 1992 at Seoul and 

Barcelona respectively. He won 

a Commonwealth Games gold 

medal at the same event in 

Auckland in 1990. 

Sami said she was motivated by 

ACTION: Sami Donnelly preparing to ride for New Zealand. 

PHOTO: LYNDAL DONNELLY 

her dad’s achievements but also 

wanted to follow her own path. 

“I’ve always wanted to follow in 

dad’s steps,” she said. “In year 6, I 

remember having to do a project 

on someone I admired and I 

picked him.” 

Sami said she played multiple 

sports when she was younger 

until she was in year 8 when she 

decided she needed to prioritise. 

“I played every sport 

imaginable – basketball, netball, 

water polo, hockey – until a 

physio said my body was not 

handling it so I decided to cut 

back to hockey and cycling.” 

Later that year, she watched her 

brother Felix training and she 

decided to give it a go, 

“I’m aware of what dad 

achieved and it does drive me to 

be my best,” Sami said. “Having 

said that, I want to do my own 

thing and I have my own coach. 

“Dad’s great at letting me do 

my own thing but also knowing 

when he can drop in some 

knowledge.” 

Sami said she wanted another 

shot at the under-19 world 

championships next year and 

was keen to do more endurance 

rides. 

“Even when that pain hits, 

you have to find the reasons 

why you ride and certainly 

enjoy it.”

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

issue. 

Only eight submi sions were

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council will be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking t operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

Pupils learn about role of war horses

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

Board chairman Mike Mora

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community
