Code of conduct issue<br />

Jones and<br />

Stringer at<br />

centre of<br />

conflict<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

THE PAPANUI-Innes<br />

Community Board is embroiled<br />

in a code of conduct issue.<br />

But the city council and the<br />

community board are refusing<br />

to release details about what<br />

board member or members are<br />

involved.<br />

Nor’West <strong>News</strong> understands<br />

ongoing tension between board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones and<br />

outspoken board member John<br />

Stringer has led to the code of<br />

conduct matter.<br />

Mr Stringer has been<br />

outspoken in the past about<br />

board decisions, in particular<br />

the Main North Rd bus priority<br />

project.<br />

Nor’West <strong>News</strong> revealed<br />

last month an independent<br />

facilitator was needed to oversee<br />

a confidential meeting between<br />

board members on September 24<br />

because of ongoing conflict.<br />

A request by Nor West <strong>News</strong><br />

under the Local Government<br />

Official Information Meetings<br />

Act for emails between Ms Jones<br />

and Mr Stringer has been refused<br />

by the city council.<br />

CLASH: It is understood that ongoing tension between Papanui-Innes Community Board chairwoman Ali Jones and outspoken<br />

board member John Stringer has led to a code of conduct investigation.<br />

Last month, Ms Jones<br />

told Nor’West <strong>News</strong> Mr Stringer<br />

was a “relative newcomer to the<br />

board” who “needed clarification<br />

regarding the process.”<br />

Her comment prompted an<br />

angry response from Mr Stringer,<br />

who claimed confidentiality had<br />

been breached.<br />

Neither Mr Stringer or Ms<br />

Jones would discuss the code of<br />

conduct investigation.<br />

The city council said it had<br />

refused to release the emails<br />

between Ms Jones and Mr<br />

Stringer because “it would<br />

inhibit the exchange of free and<br />

frank opinions in future.” The<br />

city council also said “public<br />

exposure of those opinions can<br />

sometimes have a chilling effect<br />

on people’s willingness to express<br />

themselves openly, honestly and<br />

completely in future.”<br />

The city council considered<br />

that the correspondence between<br />

Ms Jones and Mr Stringer was an<br />

exchange constituting a “free and<br />

frank expression of opinion”.<br />

The city council said it would<br />

not comment on the code of<br />

conduct investigation until it was<br />

completed.<br />

Meanwhile, code of conduct<br />

But the council and board mouths are zipped over who is<br />

involved and what the code of conduct complaint is specifically<br />

about.<br />

We know there are tensions between board chairwoman<br />

Ali Jones and board member John Stringer, which we have<br />

on board decisions public.<br />

The code of conduct complaint takes it to a new level.<br />

$10k to enhance Bishopdale<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

BISHOPDALE VILLAGE Mall is<br />

set to be rejuvenated for the first<br />

time in more than 50 years.<br />

Last week the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board granted<br />

$10,000 to the<br />

Bishopdale<br />

Regeneration<br />

Project.<br />

The money<br />

will be spent<br />

on beautifying<br />

the area and<br />

Amanda<br />

Nuttall<br />

developing<br />

fun, friendly<br />

spaces for the<br />

community.<br />

Suggestions for the project<br />

included a mural, outdoor<br />

markets, new seating, pathways,<br />

plantings, improvements to toilet<br />

blocks, outdoor chess and ping<br />

pong, and new signage.<br />

Bishopdale Businesses<br />

Association chairwoman<br />

Amanda Nuttall said she was<br />

glad funding for the upgrade had<br />

been approved.<br />

“Bishopdale Village was<br />

started in the 1960s and has had<br />

no significant upgrade in that<br />

time,” she said.<br />

“A start has been made with<br />

REGENERATE: The Bishopdale Village Mall will be rejuvenated<br />

for the first time since it was established in the 1960’s.<br />

the library and community<br />

centre but it would be great to see<br />

more of the village upgraded.”<br />

She said the only challenge left<br />

would be finding projects that<br />

all businesses in the area were on<br />

board with.<br />

“One of the challenges<br />

here is that the buildings<br />

are individually-owned and<br />

ensuring all landlords commit to<br />

the upgrade is not easy.”<br />

She hopes the upgrade<br />

will draw more people to the<br />

Bishopdale area.<br />

“The population in this area<br />

is growing and this is an easilyaccessible<br />

and convenient hub of<br />

the community.”<br />

The association has been<br />

working with the community<br />

board and Development<br />

Christchurch Ltd to pinpoint<br />

what people wanted to see in<br />

the area. DCL chief executive<br />

Rob Hall said working with the<br />

community on the project was<br />

essential.<br />

“The aim has been to canvass<br />

the views of the people and<br />

groups who<br />

live and work<br />

in the village to<br />

identify possible<br />

opportunities to<br />

improve and revitalise<br />

the area,<br />

attract more<br />

people and create<br />

a more lively Rob Hall<br />

space,” he said.<br />

“A recent design workshop<br />

identified some possible actions<br />

for the area, including working<br />

with the business association<br />

to create niche attractions<br />

and branding, some ‘quick<br />

win’ projects to liven-up the<br />

space, potential commercial<br />

redevelopments to create better<br />

connections and a review of land<br />

use.”<br />

Community board chairman<br />

Sam MacDonald said it was<br />

“about time” the Bishopdale area<br />

had an upgrade.<br />

“We need to stop talking about<br />

this stuff and just do it.”<br />

Survey won’t change Richmond<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

RICHMOND residents don’t<br />

believe a survey aiming to gather<br />

information on what is needed<br />

in the suburb will make any<br />

difference to the area.<br />

The city council has<br />

commissioned independent<br />

social researcher Sarah Wylie<br />

to undertake a Richmond<br />

community needs analysis<br />

survey.<br />

But a key<br />

source of<br />

information for<br />

the survey will<br />

not be made<br />

available until<br />

Hayley<br />

Guglietta<br />

Matthew<br />

Horncastle<br />

next year. It<br />

aims to provide<br />

a demographic<br />

profile of<br />

Richmond using<br />

the <strong>2018</strong> Census<br />

data. ​<br />

Statistics New<br />

Zealand could<br />

not confirm a<br />

timeframe on<br />

when the Census<br />

data would be<br />

made public, but<br />

it won’t be until next year.<br />

Richmond Residents<br />

and Business Association<br />

chairwoman Hayley Guglietta<br />

UNENTHUSIASTIC: Richmond residents are uncertain<br />

a survey commissioned by the city council will make a<br />

difference to improving the area.<br />

said the survey would only<br />

confirm what residents already<br />

know.<br />

“Also there is not much they<br />

can do until they get the Census<br />

data,” she said.<br />

City council head of<br />

community support, governance<br />

and partnerships John Filsell<br />

said 18 key informants in the<br />

Richmond community will be<br />

interviewed for the analysis<br />

survey.<br />

A timeline has not been<br />

specified on when the survey<br />

will be released.<br />

Mrs Guglietta said one<br />

issue Richmond is facing has<br />

to do with the high-density<br />

development that is impacting<br />

on communities because there<br />

was no notification on the<br />

consents.<br />

She said by the time the survey<br />

gets the data it will be too late.<br />

The association has expressed<br />

concern over the Williams<br />

Corporation’s 21 housing unit<br />

development at 58 Perth St.<br />

Work on the development is<br />

expected to start next year.<br />

Williams Corporation managing<br />

director Matthew<br />

Horncastle said the residents<br />

shouldn’t be notified because it<br />

complies with all the planning<br />

rules.<br />

“I am very disappointed in<br />

news channels that condone<br />

people complaining about highdensity<br />

affordable housing when<br />

New Zealand has some of the<br />

most unaffordable housing in<br />

the world,” he said.<br />

Richmond resident Don<br />

Gould called the survey<br />

engagement for the sake of<br />

engagement.<br />

He said he has been<br />

interviewed by the researcher<br />

and the information may not<br />

be presented until the middle of<br />

next year.<br />

“There is too much<br />

construction, too much<br />

frustration with everything<br />

closed at once,” he said.<br />

But city councillor Deon<br />

Swiggs said it will give direction<br />

on what Richmond needs as a<br />

collective.<br />

“It is one of the suburbs that<br />

doesn’t have a master plan<br />

. . . after the earthquake, a lot of<br />

other suburbs had master plans,”<br />

he said.<br />

Concerns over<br />

Riccarton Rd<br />

tree plan<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

TREES COULD soon line the<br />

middle of Riccarton Rd – but the<br />

city council proposal has been<br />

slammed by residents.<br />

It is planning to plant 27<br />

columnar hornbeam trees along<br />

the median of Riccarton Rd<br />

between Clarence and Matipo<br />

Sts.<br />

In a strongly worded letter<br />

to Mayor Lianne Dalziel, city<br />

council chief executive Karleen<br />

Edwards and Wigram MP<br />

Megan Woods, the Central<br />

Riccarton Residents’ Association<br />

said the proposal is “extremely<br />

dangerous”.<br />

Association chairman Garth<br />

Wilson said about 80 members<br />

were asked about the trees and<br />

90 per cent opposed it.<br />

“Riccarton Rd is narrow<br />

as it is and ambulances and<br />

fire engines inevitably have to<br />

travel down the middle of the<br />

road because of traffic build<br />

up, especially since there are<br />

four sets of traffic lights from<br />

Clarence St to Matipo St,” the<br />

residents said.<br />

The trees are part of stage two<br />

of the Riccarton Rd upgrade,<br />

scheduled to begin early next<br />

year.

Battle won to make road safer<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

ONE OF the city’s biggest<br />

employers has won the battle to<br />

make a Harewood road safer.<br />

Tait Communications<br />

approached the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board in an effort<br />

to have no-stopping restrictions<br />

and a flush median outside the<br />

entrance to its Wooldridge Rd<br />

business.<br />

The company, which employs<br />

more than 400 people at the<br />

site on Woolrdridge Rd, raised<br />

concerns last month over the low<br />

visibility at the entrance to its car<br />

park.<br />

The recent upgrade to Russley<br />

Rd banned right turns from<br />

Wairakei Rd onto Russley Rd,<br />

which has resulted in more traffic<br />

using Wooldridge Rd.<br />

There have been two reported<br />

crashes along the section of<br />

Wooldridge Rd in the last five<br />

years and four within the last<br />

eight years.<br />

All the recorded crashes were<br />

located at driveways and three of<br />

those were directly outside the<br />

Tait Communications site.<br />

A Tait Communications<br />

spokesperson said the company<br />

was “extremely pleased” with<br />

SUCCESS: Tait Communications has won the battle to have<br />

no-stopping restrictions and a flush median put along<br />

Wooldridge Rd near its headquarters (inset).<br />

the community board’s decision<br />

to allow no-stopping lines and a<br />

flush median to be installed on<br />

the road.<br />

“As the road has become more<br />

heavily used, the number of<br />

recorded near-miss events had<br />

made this a major safety risk for<br />

our staff members and visitors,”<br />

the spokesperson said.<br />

“The council and community<br />

board members have been very<br />

responsive to this and the<br />

proposed changes will resolve all<br />

of the concerns we have had.”<br />

The decision to approve the<br />

proposal was delayed after the<br />

community board requested city<br />

council staff look into other<br />

options that would save on-street<br />

parking.<br />

However, community<br />

board chairman Sam<br />

MacDonald said parking<br />

could not be saved.<br />

But he was happy with the<br />

outcome.<br />

“All we asked for was that<br />

council staff went back to<br />

Wooldridge Rd for two weeks to<br />

look at whether we can keep any<br />

car parking,” he said.<br />

“They’ve gone and done<br />

that, and they couldn’t keep<br />

any because of the safety<br />

requirements.<br />

“There has been no additional<br />

cost. There’s been a slight<br />

delay of a couple of weeks, but<br />

we communicated that with<br />

Tait, who were obviously quite<br />

concerned, and they’re quite<br />

comfortable with where we are at<br />

with the decision.”<br />

No new bus<br />

stops for<br />

Gardiners Rd<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

A BID to install four bus stops<br />

along Gardiners Rd has failed.<br />

The bus stops were proposed<br />

to accommodate changes to<br />

the No 28 bus, which has had<br />

its route extended to include<br />

Bishopdale, Casebrook and<br />

Northwood.<br />

The Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community Board<br />

agreed to monitor the road over<br />

the next six months to see if<br />

demand for more stops grows.<br />

Board chairman Sam<br />

MacDonald said the two<br />

adjacent bus stops located<br />

between Harewood and<br />

Sawyers Arms Rds would<br />

service the area in the<br />

meantime.<br />

“Council staff are going to<br />

come back to us in six months<br />

and see if there’s more demand<br />

for another one,” he said.<br />

“On that road at the<br />

moment there are 16 people a<br />

day using the bus, so the need<br />

for it is just not there at the<br />

moment.”<br />

He said he understood<br />

some bus-users would be<br />

disappointed with the decision.<br />

The community group<br />

represents affected Russley<br />

residents.<br />

People of Russley have been<br />

fighting against car parking near<br />

the business park since it opened<br />

in 2010, he said.<br />

Residents only parking cannot<br />

come soon enough for residents,<br />

Prof Bagchi said.<br />

“In July 2017, we got 60min<br />

parking [from 120min].”<br />

But residents knew the 60min<br />

parking limit would not work, he<br />

said. “60min parking means you<br />

need to have enforcement officers<br />

continuously,” Prof Bagchi said.<br />

“It is not very practical to<br />

put an enforcement officer<br />

completely dedicated for one<br />

road.”<br />

The high number of offences<br />

proved residents fears that the<br />

60min parking restrictions<br />

would not work, Prof Bagchi<br />

said. “So you can imagine how<br />

miserably it has failed.”<br />

Community board chairman<br />

Sam MacDonald said the city<br />

council currently does not have<br />

ability to impose residents only<br />

parking.<br />

The city council is<br />

currently reviewing consultation<br />

for its draft suburban parking<br />

policy, which would give it the<br />

ability to impose residents only<br />

parking.<br />

Mr MacDonald said parking<br />

enforcement officers need to<br />

monitor streets near the business<br />

park on a regular basis.<br />

“The feedback I get [from<br />

residents is] in some streets you<br />

can’t move down them because<br />

of the narrow nature when they<br />

are blocked up.”<br />

The board submitted in favour<br />

of residents only parking in the<br />

draft suburban parking policy,<br />

Mr MacDonald said.<br />

“What we need staff to be<br />

really clear on when they<br />

develop this [residents only<br />

parking] is . . . we need to have<br />

a really clear and structured<br />

criteria where residents parking<br />

applies.<br />

“When there are significant<br />

[parking] issues, we want to be<br />

able to deal with them quickly,”<br />

Rules set to change at reserve<br />

Aim to improve<br />

safety at<br />

Roto Kohatu<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

THE RULES at Roto Kohatu<br />

Recreation Reserve are set to be<br />

tightened.<br />

Last week the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board approved a<br />

proposal to improve safety at the<br />

reserve.<br />

Over the last<br />

two months,<br />

council staff<br />

and board<br />

members have<br />

taken a closer<br />

look at how the<br />

reserve operates<br />

Sam<br />

MacDonald<br />

and outlined<br />

a number of<br />

safety concerns.<br />

The concerns<br />

included damage to bollards and<br />

gates, internal road safety, how<br />

rangers spent their time and a<br />

lack of clarity over who can use<br />

the lake and at what time.<br />

Several conflicts have been<br />

started over the use of the lake,<br />

and signage to indicate who is<br />

using it has been raised to solve<br />

SAFETY FIRST: The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board has approved safety improvements at Lake<br />

Roto Kohatu Reserve.<br />

the issues.<br />

Community board chairman<br />

Sam MacDonald said the safety<br />

improvements will get under way<br />

“as soon as possible.”<br />

“It’s more about making the<br />

reserve more accessible for<br />

people to use, particularly over<br />

summer, and managing the<br />

growing demand,” he said.<br />

“Most of it is under way or will<br />

be under way as soon as possible.<br />

We’ve got summer coming up, so<br />

it’s important that we get those<br />

things sorted.”<br />

He said council staff will<br />

monitor the lake over the<br />

summer period to ensure users<br />

follow the safety guidelines.<br />

“Staff will come back to us<br />

after summer to tell us how it<br />

went, and what we need to do to<br />

change it so we can make it the<br />

best facility we can,” he said.<br />

Board member Aaron Campbell<br />

said the biggest issue is<br />

managing access when demand<br />

is high.“I haven’t heard of physical<br />

fighting. However, I have<br />

heard of verbal disagreements<br />

and arguments,” he said.<br />

“I understand why residents<br />

and users can have differing<br />

expectations and due to the<br />

uniqueness of Roto Kohatu,<br />

managing the space is not easy,<br />

but as a organisation, we are trying<br />

our very best as the reserve is<br />

still being developed.”<br />

“On days when 1000-2000 additional<br />

people turn up, parking<br />

too close to the water has been<br />

identified as an issue and does<br />

stretch the limits of the portaloos<br />

on-site. This could become a<br />

health issue.”<br />

He said he was happy the<br />

safety improvements are going<br />

ahead. “I believe there are a<br />

lot less incidents now than<br />

there were earlier, so some<br />

improvements have been<br />

effective. But other issues do<br />

arise and they need to be sorted<br />

as well,” he said.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

CBD parking<br />

fix could cost<br />

ratepayers<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

SECRET discussions have been<br />

held over how to fix parking<br />

problems in the central city which<br />

could come at a cost to ratepayers.<br />

City councillors met last week<br />

behind-closed-doors to consider a<br />

report on “central city reduced fee<br />

parking.”<br />

The city council has refused<br />

to release the report, or answer<br />

questions about it. It was deemed<br />

“commercially sensitive” for the<br />

public and city councillors remain<br />

tight-lipped.<br />

But private car park owners and<br />

developers have been approached<br />

to see what role they can play.<br />

Central city retailers have<br />

been struggling to compete with<br />

suburban malls which offer free<br />

parking.<br />

But property developer<br />

Antony Gough, who is building<br />

a 400-space parking building<br />

on Hereford St, said there has<br />

been discussion with the council<br />

around rates rebates or subsides<br />

for private providers.<br />

The report was left on the table<br />

without a recommendation being<br />

approved and will be debated<br />

again by city councillors.<br />

more than 200 entries from<br />

New life for Ballantynes’ Xmas window<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />

Harding<br />

A PROP maker who has worked<br />

on some of the biggest movies<br />

to be filmed in New Zealand has<br />

helped bring Ballantynes’ iconic<br />

Christmas windows to life this<br />

year.<br />

Simon Hames has led a high<br />

flying career working on the sets<br />

of King Kong and The Lord of the<br />

Rings.<br />

In 1999 he won the Supreme<br />

WOW Award for making wearable<br />

chairs for the World of<br />

Wearable Art festival.<br />

After starting work as a visual<br />

merchandise team member this<br />

year, Mr Hames was tasked with<br />

building the Christmas window.<br />

With the talent of Mr Hames<br />

on board, it was the reason Ballantynes<br />

decided to create the<br />

windows in-house this year as<br />

opposed to outsourcing.<br />

Visual merchandise manager<br />

Danielle Casey, who led the charge<br />

for this year’s theme, also has a<br />

distinguished background in design,<br />

having created windows for<br />

department stores Harrods and<br />

Selfridges in the United Kingdom. ​<br />

Pearl Schwalger-Smith, who<br />

has worked in a range of roles at<br />

Ballantynes in the past 10 years<br />

has also been heavily involved in<br />

designing the project.<br />

It is the first time in about 20<br />

years the windows have been<br />

designed in-house.<br />

Miss Casey said the project has<br />

been a “labour of love” with her<br />

team working on it since April.<br />

She said the theme of mice was<br />

inspired by popular children’s<br />

films featuring mice including<br />

The Borrowers, Mouse Hunt and<br />

Stuart Little.<br />

Ballantynes has made<br />

Christmas extra special for kids<br />

in more ways than one this<br />

year, creating a limited edition<br />

children’s book to match the<br />

window’s theme.<br />

The book called The Merry<br />

Mice of Dunstable House was<br />

donated to every primary school<br />

in the city and Timaru.<br />

The setting for the Christmas<br />

window and book is at Dunstable<br />

House, the original building<br />

where Ballantynes was established<br />

in 1854.<br />

It tells the tale of a little family<br />

of mischievous mice living with<br />

humans at Christmas time.<br />

Ballantynes has also spread<br />

With every teddy bear sold<br />

throughout <strong>December</strong>, one is<br />

donated to the children’s ward at<br />

Christchurch Hospital.<br />

Marketing manager Anna<br />

Powell said Ballantynes wanted<br />

to do a couple of little things for<br />

the community as a way of giving<br />

back at Christmas time.<br />

MP grows<br />

a mo for a<br />

good cause<br />

WAIMAKARIRI MP Matt<br />

Doocey has raised $800 for men’s<br />

health during Movember.<br />

He hoped to raise awareness<br />

and support for the Movember<br />

Foundation and men’s health<br />

issues such as prostate and<br />

testicular cancer, and mental<br />

health and suicide prevention.<br />

“Movember is something we<br />

by participating, promoting and<br />

donating to this worthy cause.<br />

While I’ve had a few laughs<br />

along the way, men’s health is<br />

something we should be creating<br />

awareness around to reduce the<br />

number of men suffering from<br />

serious health issues like these,”<br />

he said. Mr Doocey abandoned<br />

his attempt to grow a goatee to go<br />

Stroke victim a step closer<br />

to getting his tricycle<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

STROKE VICTIM Grant<br />

Cowan is edging closer to<br />

getting back cycling.<br />

Friends of the former police<br />

officer and triathlete rallied<br />

around the him after he suffered<br />

two strokes 18 months<br />

ago.<br />

They set up a Go Fund Me<br />

page to buy a recumbent tricycle<br />

for the 52-year-old former<br />

Papanui resident.<br />

Donations from 149 people<br />

reached $12,300 last Friday.<br />

They need $16,500 to buy the<br />

trike, which is able to be ridden<br />

while sitting down.<br />

Mr Cowan lost the ability to<br />

speak, and lost feeling in his<br />

right arm and right leg after<br />

the stroke. He now lives at St<br />

John of God care facility in<br />

Halswell.<br />

Mr Cowan’s friend of 30<br />

years Rodger Wyatt told<br />

Western <strong>News</strong> in October<br />

that when he tried the trike<br />

at the Bike Expo, they saw<br />

an expression unseen for 18<br />

months.<br />

“The look on his face, he was<br />

just absolutely humming.”<br />

Mr Cowan’s friends also<br />

McKay exhibition in Akaroa<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

RETIRED REDWOOD<br />

photographer Donald McKay’s<br />

work is will be exhibited in the<br />

Akaroa Museum.<br />

At the start of the year, Mr<br />

McKay donated more than<br />

40,000 individual frames to the<br />

museum which date from the<br />

late 1940s to the early 1980s.<br />

The collection of photos<br />

document social and community<br />

events, weddings, farming<br />

activities and other aspects of<br />

life across the Banks Peninsula.<br />

Mr McKay, 84, grew up on a<br />

farm in Le Bons Bay and began<br />

taking photos at Christchurch<br />

Boy’s High School when he<br />

joined the camera club.<br />

Mr McKay sold his bike and<br />

his best pair of shoes to buy a<br />

second-hand camera.<br />

“We had some really, really<br />

good instructors, including<br />

Len Casbolt and Frank<br />

McGregor. Also, I used to<br />

spend a lot of time at my<br />

uncle Stan McKay’s as he was<br />

the Christchurch Star Sun<br />

photographer and his son<br />

Ross was a skilled horse racing<br />

photographer. I used to admire<br />

their beautiful cameras and<br />

enlargers . . . I’m not sure what<br />

I liked more, the photography<br />

or the equipment.”<br />

Mr McKay started his first<br />

photography job in 1961 at<br />

Burwood Hospital as a medical<br />

photographer, but would still<br />

travel back to the peninsula<br />

during the weekend to photograph<br />

various community<br />

events. Museum collections<br />

manager Daniel Smith said the<br />

exhibition would focus on Mc-<br />

Kay’s work during the 1950s.<br />

“During the 50s he was<br />

Holiday Collection<br />

Dates <strong>2018</strong><br />

doing a lot of odd jobs as well<br />

as photography. He did a lot a<br />

lot of farm work and he would<br />

also take his camera with him<br />

when he was working on his<br />

farm jobs.”<br />

Mr Smith said the exhibition<br />

would include some of Mc-<br />

Kay’s most explicit work.<br />

“I’ve included a photograph<br />

from a series that follows the<br />

tailing, tagging and emasculating<br />

of lambs at Lavericks Bay<br />

in 1951. It was a grisly affair.<br />

The tails were cut off with<br />

knives, and you can see all the<br />

men’s clothes are blood spattered<br />

– like something out of a<br />

Tarantino movie.”<br />

The exhibition will open<br />

on <strong>December</strong> 7 at the Akaroa<br />

City chorus puts<br />

on festive show<br />

• <br />

By Ashleigh Monk<br />

THE Christchurch City Chorus<br />

is putting on a festive show to<br />

get everyone into the Christmas<br />

spirit.<br />

On <strong>December</strong> 15 the choir will<br />

take the stage to perform The<br />

Magic of Christmas.<br />

Musical director Virginia<br />

Humphrey-Taylor said the show<br />

would include Christmas carols,<br />

skits, poems and dancing.<br />

“We want to share the joy and<br />

music of Christmas with people,”<br />

she said.<br />

“We want everyone to come<br />

and sing carols with us. It’s<br />

something for the whole family<br />

to get everyone excited for<br />

Christmas.”<br />

She said about 80 members of<br />

the choir would be performing.<br />

“We’ve got quartets singing,<br />

we’ve got small groups singing,<br />

we’ve got about 20 children who<br />

will be performing,” she said.<br />

“We’ll sing a lot of the classic<br />

Christmas carols, but there will<br />

also be a few songs that people<br />

won’t know; songs from around<br />

the world about Christmas.”<br />

The show would give members<br />

a chance to get some practice<br />

in before the Christchurch City<br />

Chorus heads to New Orleans<br />

for a performance in September.<br />

“We’re doing as many shows<br />

as we can so we are prepared,”<br />

she said.<br />

She said she hoped to showcase<br />

the group and encourage<br />

new members to join.<br />

“We’re looking for new<br />

members all the time. There’s<br />

always a turn over of membership<br />

because people move away<br />

or their lives change, so this is a<br />

chance for people who might be<br />

interested in joining to see what<br />

we do.”<br />

The Magic of Christmas will<br />

be performed on <strong>December</strong> 15,<br />

with a matinee at 2pm and an<br />

evening show at 7pm.<br />

Tickets are $25 for adults, $20<br />

for seniors and $10 for children,<br />

and can be purchased at www.<br />

ccchorus.co.nz or by contacting<br />

Jeannette McGrath on 021 976<br />

BABIES AND theatre are not<br />

usually two things that are put<br />

together.<br />

In fact, any parent who has<br />

taken a baby to a performance<br />

knows it can be challenging at<br />

best and a disaster at worst.<br />

Turning that whole idea on its<br />

head is Strowan’s Amy Straker,<br />

Burwood’s Melanie Luckman<br />

and Sumner’s Hannah Wheeler<br />

and.<br />

The trio will perform their<br />

show Up And Away, designed<br />

especially for pre-walking<br />

babies, in New Brighton and<br />

Phillipstown.<br />

The show will be staged<br />

through the newly-launched<br />

Cubbin Theatre Company.<br />

The company aims to develop<br />

genuine theatre for children<br />

under the age of five.<br />

Each performance will last<br />

about 30-40min with an opportunity<br />

for families to stay and<br />

play at the end.<br />

The show will also take place<br />

in a carefully crafted tent.<br />

“Our vision is of a world where<br />

high-quality art is as integral to<br />

early childhood as the<br />

playground, and as accessible,”<br />

Luckman said.<br />

She said it has been great<br />

working with the city council’s<br />

enliven places project fund for<br />

this tour.<br />

Luckman said with the funding’s<br />

help it can offer the show<br />

for $5 for a baby and adult<br />

together.<br />

The show is informed by<br />

neuroscientific research and has<br />

been developed in consultation<br />

with a speech and a language<br />

therapist through a series of<br />

rehearsal workshops with babies.<br />

Wheeler was working at LATT<br />

Children’s Theatre and living in<br />

South Korea when she saw her<br />

first baby theatre performance.<br />

MAKING A SPLASH: Rangi Ruru student Tamsin Mills (left) with St Margaret’s College student<br />

Rangi’s sporting success<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

RANGI RURU Girls’ School<br />

has had a stellar week in sports,<br />

with successes in water polo and<br />

tennis.<br />

Rangi Ruru’s junior water polo<br />

team won the South Island Junior<br />

Secondary School Water Polo<br />

Championships.<br />

Rangi Ruru assistant director<br />

of sport Mandy Anderson said<br />

the team had an “incredible”<br />

game.<br />

“An outstanding effort by the<br />

team culminated in winning<br />

the final against St Margaret’s,<br />

11-9. A huge shout-out to our<br />

wonderful coach, Jackson Olds,<br />

for his dedication to and belief in<br />

the girls,” she said.<br />

“The team has trained exceptionally<br />

hard all term; training in<br />

the rain and in the early morning.<br />

They deserve the success<br />

their efforts have produced.”<br />

Ms Anderson added a special<br />

mention to year 9 student Agatha<br />

Weston for selection in the south<br />

island tournament team.<br />

She also congratulated year 10<br />

student Eve Weston for her selection<br />

as the most valuable player of<br />

the tournament.<br />

Out of the pool and onto the<br />

court, Rangi Ruru student Tessa<br />

McCann has retained her title as<br />

the Canterbury Open Women’s<br />

Champion.<br />

The year 12 student competed<br />

for the title last week.<br />

The final was a tight three set<br />

match which saw the 16-year-old<br />

win 7-5 in the third set, and hold<br />

on to her title as the Canterbury<br />

Open Women’s Champion for the<br />

second year in a row.<br />

Rangi Ruru tennis convenor<br />

Anne Bissland said both Tessa<br />

and Year 10 Jade Feneon, who<br />

also competed, did exceptionally<br />

well against strong competition.<br />

“We have to remember that<br />

these students are playing an<br />

open section, against much older<br />

competitors,” she said.<br />

“Both girls are playing very<br />

well, at a high level. We are proud<br />

of both girls who put absolutely<br />

everything into their tennis,” said<br />

Ms Bissland.<br />

CREATIVE: Citycare property supervisor Doug Peek is<br />

always on the look-out for items that can be recycled for the<br />

sensory garden at Rawhiti Domain.<br />

Playground gets<br />

new equipment<br />

OBSOLETE equipment from<br />

throughout the city is getting a<br />

new lease of life in the children’s<br />

playground at Rawhiti Doman.<br />

The sensory playground is<br />

designed to give all children,<br />

especially those with special<br />

needs, the opportunity to<br />

explore senses.<br />

The playground was the<br />

brainchild of SmileDial New<br />

Zealand founder Kelly Dugan.<br />

Mr Dugan, who has a sevenyear-old<br />

daughter with cerebral<br />

palsy, came up with the idea.<br />

Some of the large plastic<br />

traffic sheep that used to feature<br />

on inner city pavements have<br />

been put out to pasture in the<br />

sensory garden along with one<br />

of the New Brighton tiny huts.<br />

An avid supporter of the<br />

playground is Citycare property<br />

supervisor Doug Peek, who<br />

is always on the lookout for<br />

items that can be recycled at the<br />

playground rather than sent to<br />

landfill.<br />

When it was time to decide<br />

if the hut should stay or be<br />

dismantled, Mr Peek suggested<br />

it be added to the garden.<br />

“I always keep SmileDial and<br />

the kids in the back of my mind<br />

when out on the job . . . we are<br />

essentially turning trash into<br />

treasure,” Mr Peek said.<br />

SmileDial receives no<br />

Government funding, only<br />

community support.<br />

“Without the backing of<br />

organisations like Citycare<br />

we simply wouldn’t exist,” Mr<br />

Dugan said.<br />

Shops bursting with<br />

festive gift ideas<br />

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the<br />

Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so.<br />

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as<br />

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at<br />

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops<br />

are bursting with festive merchandise.<br />

Every woman likes to receive body pampering<br />

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced<br />

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift<br />

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite<br />

and again there is a wide selection to choose from,<br />

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known<br />

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie,<br />

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor<br />

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on<br />

the list.<br />

The men are equally well catered for, from the<br />

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy<br />

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener<br />

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books,<br />

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a<br />

smile on their face on Christmas morning.<br />

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy<br />

than seeing the excitement of the children opening<br />

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa<br />

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly<br />

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy<br />

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling<br />

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from<br />

the smallest family members.<br />

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas<br />

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards<br />

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way<br />

to please.<br />

Deck the halls<br />

Christmas isn’t Christmas without a decoration or two around the home.<br />

Whether its outdoor lights with a waving Santa or<br />

just draping tinsel across your mantelpiece, there are<br />

many ways to celebrate the festive season in your home.<br />

Go natural<br />

Driftwood painted white with LED lights wrapped<br />

around, or pine cones with a touch of silver spray<br />

paint, make beautiful natural additions to the home<br />

at this time of year. If you have a tree branch around<br />

the home, why not cut it up into discs and spray paint<br />

white stars and reindeer on the disc. Drill a hole in the<br />

top and thread some gardeners string through the hole<br />

and you have an instant decoration to hang on the tree<br />

or somewhere around the home. Cover polystyrene<br />

balls in ripped linen, hessian and cotton strips. These<br />

can either be hung up or a number placed in a bowl on<br />

the table.<br />

Tinsel town<br />

Many love the glitter and sparkle that tinsel brings<br />

but how about using it in different ways. A threetiered<br />

cake plate with tinsel laid on each plate with<br />

baubles then placed on top, can look really impressive<br />

as a centrepiece for the table. Make your own wreath<br />

by wrapping tinsel around and around a polystyrene<br />

circle. Hang just as it is, or hot glue gun baubles on to<br />

create extra wow.<br />

Table setting<br />

Sometimes the simplest decorations on the table<br />

can look the most stunning. A beautiful napkin rolled<br />

up with a piece of red and white ribbon, or rosemary<br />

wreath looks amazing. Why not place a hessian runner<br />

down the middle of the table and add greenery and<br />

candles in jars on top to create a wonderful centrepiece.<br />

If you have a children’s eating table, why not put a<br />

long piece of brown paper as a table cloth. Draw large<br />

circles where the plates can go and write Christmas<br />

questions beside each plate outline. A little bottle with<br />

a red and white paper straw is great too. Put a jar of<br />

red and green crayons on the table. When the kids are<br />

finished their dinner, they can play noughts and crosses<br />

or hangman or just draw pictures.<br />

If you’re looking for ideas why not check out<br />

Pintrest. Here you will find every style and every<br />

technique to make sure your home looks like a<br />

Christmas wonderland this festive season.<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />

could it be mainly my muscles?<br />

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham<br />

sees clients with a range of symptoms but<br />

many of their middle-aged and senior<br />

clients visit complaining of pain in one or<br />

both hips.<br />

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />

that a major part of the pain could be due<br />

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />

for the pain may be the muscles around<br />

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a<br />

back muscle could also be the cause, as<br />

shown in the image.<br />

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year<br />

old client with severe arthritis who walked<br />

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in<br />

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight<br />

through my right leg due to pain in my hip<br />

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she<br />

was walking with her stick but without the<br />

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was<br />

one of the factors that made her muscles<br />

spasm but the other was that older people<br />

move less and the flexed position the hip<br />

is in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that<br />

although the client was 89 and could have<br />

been “given up on” or told to live with the<br />

pain, she made a difference to her health<br />

Hip muscle that causes hip pain<br />

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />

and wellbeing.<br />

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />

techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />

The client also gets a home exercise<br />

program designed to mobilize and stretch<br />

the hip, strengthen the important core<br />

muscles and increase general strength and<br />

balance. They teach a movement sequence<br />

that stretches the hip in all directions<br />

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their<br />

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.<br />

In many cases having the muscles<br />

released and being taught how to maintain<br />

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.<br />

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<br />

some maintenance therapy may be<br />

necessary, but that is often more affordable<br />

and, for older patients, better tolerated than<br />

surgery. In very few treatments the client<br />

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain<br />

will know if it is going to work for them or<br />

not, without financial commitment.<br />

KIDSTUFF<br />

Play, laugh, learn. These are the essential<br />

ingredients for a successful Pre-School<br />

education. These crucial early years are to be<br />

nurtured, shaped and cherished as your child<br />

takes their first steps in education.<br />

Research states that play may be the single<br />

most important things that humans do. “Our<br />

play based learning approach supports your<br />

child as they begin their exciting journey as a<br />

lifelong learner” says Principal Scott Thelning.<br />

At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your<br />

the heart of the city<br />

Prep School.<br />

In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built<br />

Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers, your<br />

child will discover by curiosity, investigation<br />

and exploration. Our low child/teacher ratios,<br />

ensure your child’s quality individual and<br />

group learning.<br />

Every advantage is taken of our central<br />

city location to extend our ‘campus’ from the<br />

Botanic Gardens to the Canterbury Museum,<br />

The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o<br />

Waiwhetu to the Christchurch Transitional<br />

Cathedral, from Tūranga (Christchurch<br />

central library) to the emergency services.<br />

Being an inner city Pre-School also gives<br />

you a wonderfully easy opportunity to engage<br />

in your child’s learning if you are working in<br />

the CBD.<br />

Your child will develop essential<br />

foundations in literacy and numeracy. He<br />

or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised<br />

facilities, subjects and staff including Art,<br />

Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel.<br />

When children feel good about themselves<br />

and their abilities, they are able to take flight<br />

and explore, discover, take risks and play,<br />

laugh and learn effectively and successfully.<br />

“Self-esteem is at the core of this development<br />

process” Thelning says.<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community<br />

Board member Aaron<br />

Campbell talks about<br />

the need to improve<br />

accessibility for<br />

disabled people in the<br />

city<br />

LAST WEEK I asked the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi-Harewood Community Board<br />

to request the city council supports in<br />

principle new Government disability<br />

legislation that makes access equitable for<br />

all persons.<br />

Your community board voted two in<br />

favour. Seven, shamefully, were against the<br />

motion.<br />

Disability comes in many forms. It’s not<br />

just physical; it’s sensory, cognitive, communicative<br />

and mental health-related.<br />

Community advocates, including the<br />

Access Alliance, a group of 12 organisations<br />

in the disability sector, overwhelmingly<br />

support the principle to create a truly<br />

accessible society that benefits everyone.<br />

Members include the Blind Foundation,<br />

CCS Disability Action, Cerebral Palsy<br />

Society and Deaf Aotearoa.<br />

New Zealand needs accessibility legislation<br />

to implement, in various sectors,<br />

minimum standards for access to everyday<br />

things others take for granted, like transport,<br />

public services, websites, buildings,<br />

workplaces and events.<br />

This is about universal human rights and<br />

the core principles of the United Nations<br />

Convention on the Rights of People with<br />

Disabilities.<br />

Led by MPs Poto Williams (Christchurch<br />

East, Labour) and Shane Reti<br />

(Whangarei, National), this initiative is<br />

achieving cross party support in central<br />

government.<br />

It’s argued that businesses can’t afford to<br />

comply. Advocates would argue how can<br />

you afford not to?<br />

One billion people in the world have<br />

some form of disability, don’t you want to<br />

increase your potential market?<br />

When I’m older and less able, I’ll still<br />

want to get around, eat out and do things.<br />

We should all have that opportunity for<br />

long term independence.<br />

The NZ Institute of Economic Research<br />

calculates accessibility legislation will save<br />

$3 billion over 10 years in disability benefit<br />

costs through better education and employment<br />

outcomes, increasing productivity<br />

by $862m and increasing tax revenues<br />

by $387m per year.<br />

This would annually increase GDP by<br />

$1.45 billion.<br />

New tourist markets will become available<br />

and revenue will increase with higher<br />

spending per visitor.<br />

As our city is rebuilding, do we want to<br />

grow our economy, improve the quality of<br />

people’s lives and provide equal access for<br />

all?<br />

Last week, sadly, a selfish short-sighted<br />

two to seven vote said no.<br />

Start<br />

it!<br />

Pre-School<br />

Here, it all begins<br />

Located in the CBD and offering 20<br />

play with stimulating young minds,<br />

At Kimihia we are very lucky to have<br />

space for vege gardens. Our tamariki are<br />

involved in all aspects of the growing<br />

of vegetables and fruit. Whilst our<br />

strawberries are usually picked and<br />

eaten fresh, most of the vegetables we<br />

grow are used in the meals our Centre<br />

provides. Over the growing season our<br />

garden produced pumpkins, zucchini,<br />

beetroot, tomatoes, beans, basil,<br />

coriander, silverbeet, peas, broccoli,<br />

cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce. Giant<br />

sunflowers, nasturtiums and calendulas<br />

provided plenty of colour in the garden.<br />

Our children delighted in being able to<br />

harvest the vegetables thay had grown<br />

and take them to our food preparers. We<br />

have also saved seeds from some of last<br />

year’s veges to plant in the new season’s<br />

garden.<br />

The garden offers so many<br />

opportunities for learning; not only the<br />

connection between garden and plate,<br />

but also how to care for living things,<br />

how to work together and how to live<br />

sustainably and care for the earth.<br />

New research on Gingko<br />

Biloba excites researchers!<br />

For decades scientists believed brain<br />

damage with age, after a stroke or injury<br />

was irreversible and brain neurons could<br />

not be repaired. In more recent times,<br />

new research has shown that neurons<br />

can grow back with the right conditions<br />

and that a special extract of Gingko<br />

Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has<br />

been clinically found to assist in this.<br />

The implications for stroke recovery are<br />

obvious, but researchers also know many<br />

of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”<br />

that over a period of time slowly<br />

reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN<br />

is prescribed worldwide as a natural<br />

supportive agent for a healthy brain and<br />

cognitive function. It supports healthy<br />

mental performance, concentration, focus,<br />

alertness, motor function and to help<br />

with many conditions including tinnitus<br />

(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo<br />

and normal balance. TEBONIN improves<br />

micro-circulation and helps the blood<br />

flow reach those critical places it needs to<br />

get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes<br />

the red blood cells more pliable and<br />

capillary walls more flexible.<br />

TEBONIN is one of the most widely<br />

studied and researched herbal products in<br />

the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba<br />

extract manufactured via a patented<br />

multi-step extraction process. Each small<br />

tablet contains a highly concentrated<br />

BOOST BRAIN<br />

PERFORMANCE UP TO 30%<br />

TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets<br />

being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60<br />

controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent<br />

efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30<br />

years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance.<br />

Studies on TEBONIN Show:<br />

- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement<br />

in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall.<br />

- Reduces errors made & mental stress.<br />

- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore<br />

brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke.<br />

- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal<br />

balance.<br />

- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body.<br />

- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels.<br />

- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light.<br />

50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic<br />

clinical dose without having to take a large<br />

amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba<br />

products on the market, and tested by a<br />

major medical journal, only TEBONIN<br />

passed all five of the test requirements.<br />

Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements<br />

and the rest didn’t pass more than three<br />

out of five requirements. TEBONIN is<br />

the only Gingko biloba extract shown<br />

to activated all areas of the brain and is<br />

considered the gold standard in Gingko.<br />

TEBONIN has been trusted by millions<br />

of consumers worldwide for over 30<br />

years with more than 8,000,000 tablets<br />

consumed each day.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

A pleasant surprise - “As Is, Where Is”<br />

214B Mt Pleasant Rd, Mt Pleasant<br />

Auction: From 12pm, Thursday 13 <strong>December</strong>, Harcourts Grenadier, 98 Moorhouse Ave – unless sold prior<br />

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number: SM0133<br />

Serving as an immaculate example of an as<br />

is, where is property, this partially repaired<br />

four-bedroom home enjoys exceptional<br />

north-facing views over the sea and coastline<br />

offering the ultimate hillside lifestyle.<br />

With remediation three-quarters complete,<br />

the vendors have now exceeded their cap and<br />

don’t wish to proceed any further with the<br />

remaining repairs, and therefore, they offer<br />

this superbly presented home to a new buyer<br />

who can live incredibly comfortably while<br />

they finish the last of the work required in<br />

their own time.<br />

The property’s cladding has been repaired<br />

and a new kitchen installed. The kitchen<br />

exudes modern style with its granite<br />

benchtops and breakfast bar, all benefiting<br />

from an elevated outlook over the sea that<br />

stretches across to Ferrymead.<br />

The multi-level living layout includes a<br />

breath-taking lounge on the central portion of<br />

the first floor which features a double height<br />

ceiling that contributes a sense of grandeur to<br />

the space. From there, a small set of steps lead<br />

you up to the kitchen and open plan dining<br />

and living area where you can admire the<br />

unobstructed views beyond. Lots of balconies<br />

and decks provide outdoor flow and there is<br />

some good flat lawn for children to play.<br />

Four good sized bedrooms are serviced by<br />

three bathrooms and a powder room, with the<br />

master bedroom having a walk-in wardrobe<br />

and an ensuite with a spa bath. One bedroom<br />

has a kitchenette and could be used to hosts<br />

guest or run Airbnb. There’s great level drive<br />

on access with turning and internal access<br />

triple car garaging which are further enticing<br />

features of the property.<br />

Located within easy reach of the various<br />

coastal suburbs that lead you around to<br />

Sumner Beach, this property also enjoys a<br />

relatively straight-forward commute into the<br />

city centre which will take you less than 20<br />

minutes by car. Zoned and within walking<br />

distance to Mt Pleasant School (decile 10).<br />

Being sold on an as is, where is basis, this<br />

property offers comfort and presents buyers<br />

with the opportunity to complete the home<br />

to their taste. Possibly the best we have<br />

marketed!<br />

Open Homes: Wednesday, Saturday &<br />

Sunday 3:15pm - 4:00pm.<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />

has b en a proached in a bid to<br />

fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />

Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />

Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />

counci lor David East wants<br />

WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />

park’s private owners into<br />

repairing the potholes which are<br />

a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />

WorkSafe chief inspector<br />

a se sment southern Da ren<br />

Handforth said it may be able to<br />

take action under the Health and<br />

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />

person conducting a busine s or<br />

undertaking.”<br />

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />

is aware of the concerns raised by<br />

Cr East abou the car park.<br />

“WorkSafe has completed<br />

an a se sment visi to the site<br />

and is engaging with the owner<br />

to advise them that it is their<br />

responsibility to manage their<br />

risks a propriately.”<br />

Different parts of the car park<br />

are owned by various people<br />

and the Coastal-Burw od<br />

Community Board recently<br />

wrote to them about its concerns<br />

around health and safety.<br />

Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />

in the past has b en ge ting in<br />

touch with the landlords and<br />

owners and ge ting them to<br />

agr e to anything. “The board<br />

a preciates that multi-ownership<br />

of the parking space may present<br />

a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />

to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />

said the le ter.<br />

One reply has b en received so<br />

far from an owner who is wi ling<br />

to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />

the owners would have to agr e<br />

to undertake work.<br />

Cr East said there had b en<br />

a “number of incidences” in<br />

the car park of people injuring<br />

themselves which had gone<br />

unreported.<br />

“I’ve always though that it<br />

has b en quite amazing that we<br />

haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />

or senior citizens perhaps<br />

tri ping in those potholes and<br />

doing themselve some damage.”<br />

He is confiden the new<br />

a proach wi l bring results.<br />

“I think the WorkSafe<br />

involvement may prove to be the<br />

lever that we are l oking for.”<br />

New bid to fix potholes<br />

Action looms<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />

Community Board has taken the<br />

rare step of starting a petition<br />

to figh the city council over<br />

funding.<br />

Signatures are being co lected<br />

in a bid to get funding for a community<br />

facility in Shirley.<br />

It comes after the city council<br />

removed funding for the centre<br />

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />

was the site of the former community<br />

centre, which was badly<br />

damaged in the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake.<br />

The removal o funding<br />

prompted community board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />

to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />

in the ditch” project.<br />

Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />

is to represen the community,<br />

and by gathering signatures from<br />

residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />

role.<br />

“One of the roles of a community<br />

board is to represent and act<br />

as advocate for the interests of its<br />

community and this is what we<br />

are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />

plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

Cave Rock<br />

Apartments’<br />

owners<br />

expect EQC<br />

sign-off<br />

this week<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />

Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />

Body corporate chairman Mike<br />

White said the group had gone<br />

into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />

on February 20, and signed off<br />

on a deal with IAG on February<br />

2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />

to the day after the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />

are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />

agr ement.<br />

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />

the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />

problem with them doing that.”<br />

The apartment suffere damage<br />

in the February and June, 20 1,<br />

earthquakes and were demolished in<br />

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />

difference betw en indemnity value,<br />

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />

corporate.<br />

The mediation agr ement<br />

prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />

the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />

involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />

more money than they’d wanted to<br />

earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />

to be a cut above the rest in an<br />

international competition.<br />

New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />

came second a the World<br />

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />

Ireland.<br />

It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />

had competed in the cha lenge<br />

and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />

how the team performed.<br />

“We produced some top quality<br />

products and came away<br />

with a g od result so we’re very<br />

ha py,” he said.<br />

The preparation for this year’s<br />

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />

intense as the team members<br />

met in Auckland every two<br />

months for lengthy w ekend<br />

practices.<br />

Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />

butcher for 14 years, said the<br />

competition brought back his<br />

pa sion for the job.<br />

“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />

m eting new people, s eing new<br />

ideas, it just brings that flair<br />

back for you,” he said.<br />

Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />

butcher shop of his own someday<br />

but says for now he wi l focus<br />

on ge ting mor experience<br />

and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />

“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />

going back to try and win the<br />

title,” he said.<br />

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />

However, the public has li tle<br />

interest in having input into the<br />

Only eight submi sions were<br />

received for a potential bylaw<br />

aimed at regulating commercial<br />

activities in public places.<br />

The district council wi l be<br />

holding a hearing for the Public<br />

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />

Activities and Events in<br />

Public Places.<br />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

held on Thursday.<br />

The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />

number of mobile traders<br />

are s eking t operate in Selwyn,<br />

especia ly during the summer<br />

months.<br />

In the past year, the district<br />

council has received five inquiries<br />

about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />

on private or public land.<br />

A report said there are two<br />

The New Zealand Mounted<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />

to the trust.<br />

The presentation is a prelude<br />

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />

As a tribute to those who<br />

served, members of the trust wi l<br />

Mr A pleton said it was<br />

important children were<br />

educated on what soldiers<br />

wen through during World<br />

War 1 and World War 2.<br />

But he said the presentation<br />

didn’t go into t o much detail<br />

and was more of a “show and<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />

Children were shown the type<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />

has proven himself to be a cut<br />

above his Au sie rivals at an<br />

international competition.<br />

Elite Meats owner Corey<br />

Winder was named in the a l<br />

star team a the World Butchers’<br />

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />

Mr Winder and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />

includes W olston butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />

in the competition.<br />

He said the cha lenge started<br />

as a “transtasman test match”<br />

seven years ago.<br />

The preparation for this<br />

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />

was intense as the team<br />

members met in Auckland<br />

every two months for lengthy<br />

w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />

said coming second against 1<br />

other countries was a “fantastic”<br />

result.<br />

“To get second behind Ireland<br />

was a huge achievement and to<br />

be ahead of Australia is an<br />

even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />

said.<br />

But Mr Winder admires the<br />

Australian team.<br />

“Those guys over there<br />

[Australia] are on top of their<br />

game, they do a g od job,” he<br />

said.<br />

“And it just showcases that<br />

New Zealand has got some<br />

of the best butchers in the<br />

world,” he said.<br />

Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />

from the city council to make a<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

told Western <strong>News</strong> the submi sion<br />

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />

plan.<br />

“You can just about guarant e<br />

it . because we [the community<br />

board] don’t believe qua ries<br />

should be so close to residential<br />

areas,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />

the city council would endorse the<br />

board’ submi sion.<br />

“I’d like to think so because the<br />

city council has had their eyes<br />

open as we l ove recent years over<br />
