Ratepayers foot cost of lake reserve vandalism THUMBS UP: St Bede’s College student Keane Patrick Harrington got crafty with local children during his trip to the Philippines where he helped underprivileged youth.
Helping out in the Philippines By Julia Evans TOUCHING DOWN in the Philippines capital, Manila, two St Bede’s College students were part of a team that went over to
help poor youth. From St Joesph’s Catholic Church, the 13-strong team included doctors, teachers, an engineer, a tradesman, a hair-
dresser and the church priest, as well as the two St Bede’s teenagers, Keane Patrick Harrington and Daniel Kofoed. •Turn to page 7

Inside
FROM THE REPORTER’S DESK THE VANDALS at Lake Roto Kohatu sound like they need something else to keep themselves busy. They’re certainly going to extreme lengths to cause nothing but damage (see page 1). They might like to seek a quieter hobby which doesn’t cost ratepayers. Maybe they could check out page 7 and head to Bookarama at Burnside High School this week? The Rotary Club of Bishopdale Burnside has certainly put a lot of time and effort sorting through books donated by the community. After the vandals have got a good read to keep them busy, they can head down and watch northwest school rugby teams in the UC Championship this weekend. On page 9, St Bede’s College is hungry to redeem itself after last year and Christchurch Boys’ High School is looking to defend its title. –Julia Evans

Northlands settle crossing dispute
By Julia Evans A SIGNALISED pedestrian crossing had until recently been a source of conflict between the city council and the owners of Northlands Shopping Centre. Investment company Kiwi Property said it was concerned with the lack of communication from the city council over the Mike placement of Davidson the pedestrian crossing, proposed for Main North Rd between Halliwell Ave and Proctor St. Expansions to the mall would have been unachievable if the city council’s plan got the goahead, for which it had been granted two resource consents. But a compromise has now been found after meetings between city council staff and Kiwi Property. The Papanui-Innes Community Board approved the revised scheme at its meeting on Friday. City council staff and Kiwi Property are now working together on a design that moves the traffic signals slightly and allows for future mall

expansions and a new entrance. “The mall is now in full agreement. Additional meetings answered their queries,” city council staff told the board. The signals aim to address pedestrian safety, which has been compromised by the large number of unsafe crosses taken between bus stops on Main North Rd. The plan was initially put to the former Shirley-Papanui
Community Board in 2015 where questions around slowing traffic were also raised. The signals would be timed with the lights on Langdons Rd and Halliwell Ave to keep the impact to less than five seconds. “Pedestrian safety trumps a few seconds delay to motorists,” city councillor Mike Davidson said. But he questioned the jump in costing. In 2015, the crossing

In Brief CYCLEWAY UPDATE The end is in sight for work on the Papanui Parallel cycleway along St Albans and Rutland Sts. Work has entered its final stage on St Albans St which should be reopened to two-way traffic by the end of the month. Once St Albans St is reopened, Rutland St will go back to one-way traffic at the start of May for up to four weeks. SWIM CLUB SUCCESS A successful summer for St Albans Swim Club has come to a close at the Shirley Intermediate School pool. The club had 50 pupils for 10 weeks of lessons with four swim teachers. Some children opted for twice weekly lessons and there were individual lessons for children with learning difficulties. MASTER MUSICIANS Former Burnside High School student Han Sol Jeong has been awarded a scholarship to Juilliard School. Currently studying piano at Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, Jeong will attend a summer masterclass at the school in New York city. Meanwhile, another former Burnside student Hamish Smith has been selected as the only bassist in the World Youth Jazz Orchestra. Smith will embark on tour of 12 European cities in July.

was reported to cost $195,000. However, that has since jumped to more than $450,000. “That initial cost only included civil costs, it didn’t include the traffic signals,” city council staff said. The plan will be taken to the city council for further approval in May but construction won’t begin until after the busiest shopping time of the year – Christmas.

PAPANUI’S PAST
Flooding could have Land instrumental to social change been a lot worse By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk Management Officer THE MOTHER of all storms was predicted to hit the country during Easter. What actually occurred was a bit of a fizzer. Here in Christchurch there were a few people who would argue that what they experienced was hardly a fizzer but thankfully these incidents were relatively rare. Mainly on Good Friday our troops responded to six flooding events, one power line down and a couple of instances where rain water and electrical systems were found to be incompatible. What the bad weather and the crisp mornings since did result in was the first use of the year of heating devices. This in turn caused a couple of callouts, a log fire smoking the house out in Quinns Rd, an oil fired home heating system refusing to close down and a bathroom heater on fire in Sumner. Those with fireplaces should have had the flu or chimney swept by now. If not please do it, might save

red faces or worse in the near future. Those who are using heat pumps perhaps for the first time need to know 21 deg C is accepted as the highest comfortable setting. Anything above that you’ll probably get an expensive shock when the power bill arrives. Hornby Hub got evacuated a couple of times this week, the first from a reported car fire in the rooftop car park that turned out to be steam and then an oven overheating in the supermarket on Easter Monday. A real nuisance to management, retailers and the public.
Papanui Heritage Group chairman Murray Williams looks back at the history of a significant piece of land THE HISTORY of a block of land bounded by Harewood Rd, Sails St, Hoani St (formerly Union St) and Chapel St (formerly Myrniong St) has much to tell us about the social change in Papanui over a period of 150 years. This area, originally part of Rural Section 203, had been purchased by John T Matson who came to Papanui in 1866. He named the property Myrniong as a reference to land previously owned in Victoria by the Matson family. After Mr Matson’s death in 1895, his executor tried but failed to sell the property, which was described as a “small but comfortable” home of eight rooms on a site which featured “beautiful gardens, an orchard and paddocks.” A year later the agent highlighted the value of the land as a potential building site, nearly five acres of “high ground with four frontages to choose from.” By 1914 this block of land, now featuring “an almost new house of 14 rooms,” was sold to the Methodist Church for £2750 – the new owner intended to

develop the house and grounds as an orphanage. Over the next two decades more accommodation was added but by the early 1930s it became obvious that the orphanage complex was no longer fit for the purpose. The church purchased a larger site on the other side of Harewood Rd where a modern building was completed in 1934. A major part of the vacated block was acquired by the government and developed as a state housing settlement, some of which was available for occupation in the late 1930s. A later Ministry of Works diagram indicates the generous section sizes, the footprint of each house and the area allocated for a reserve as well as private land. By the mid-1980s much of the

original area had been acquired by the Golden Health Group and developed as a retirement village, a process which was completed only recently when the last of the houses was purchased, thus enabling the company to own the whole block. Land that had once been part of the extensive property portfolio of a local grandee in the 19th century has played an important part in fulfilling the changing social needs of Papanui as its use changed successively from a church owned and administered orphanage to a site for Government housing to its current corporate ownership providing integrated rest home facilities.

through them all. The Rotary Club of Bishopdale Burnside event will be held next week from Thursday to Sunday at Burnside High School with all profits going straight back to the community.
•From page 1 Keane, 17, and Daniel, 15, said the trip opened their eyes to how privileged life in New Zealand can be. But the real highlight were the children they spent time with, including boys as young as eightyears-old in prison. “There was a group in a tiny, hot cell that all had chickenpox. That was particularly heart breaking,” Daniel said. After a week in Manila, they ventured to the tiny fishing village of Santa Cruz, Tacloban, which was devastated by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. The team helped build a water treatment plant and shelter, and visited schools where they helped run a sports tournament.

North-west schools start championship bid This weekend will see the start of the UC Championship with a number of north-west schools getting their campaigns under way. Andrew King takes a look at the opening round St Bede’s College After finishing outside the top eight in the 2016 season, St Bede’s first XV are looking to redeem themselves. Coach Gerry Davidson said while the team is young, there is plenty of enthusiasm for the upcoming season, which they will open with a game against Lincoln High. “We struggled a bit last year, but we have more depth this year so that will give us a better shot,” he said. He said the team is pretty much picked for the opener with only a couple more spots left. He said the majority of the team are aged under 17. “Last year there were six or seven teams that could beat each other on the day – it was very even, which is good for the competition,” Davidson said. Christchurch Boys’ High School CBHS first XV look towards defending their UC Championship title with an opening game against Waimea

St Andrew’s College St Andrew’s will start their campaign with a bye before
heading to Timaru to play Roncalli College. Last season was a mixture for St Andrew’s, with seven wins and seven losses, putting them 10th on the table. Head coach Rod MacIntosh said while the final team is yet to be selected, there is a good mix of returning players with some youth. “We have the philosophy of including as many players as possible to future proof and create a solid second XV,” he said. “We want to play hard attacking rugby and enjoy every minute of it.” Midfielder-turned-hooker Shilo Klien has been named as captain, with MacIntosh saying he is one to watch. Fullback Llew Johnson was unlucky last season due to a broken jaw, MacIntosh said. However, he is ready to go this season.

Burnside High School Burnside will look to emulate their form from last season which saw them finish eighth, ahead of northern rivals St Bede’s. They will open their account against St Thomas, which finished 11th last year. The team will have a new coach after Murray Henderson departed at the end of last season. A new coach will be appointed during the season, a Burnside rugby spokesman said. Winning eight from 15 will be a tough ask without barnstorming centre Mikaele Ravalawa, who was snapped up by the Canberra Raiders last year. Ravalawa scored 14 tries and kicked three conversions in the 2016 season.

Richard Rendle Our People Retired – but no time for idle hands Bishopdale MeNZ Shed co-ordinator Richard Rendle retired from teaching when he was 50 but by no means has he been idle since then. He speaks to Julia Evans about what keeps him busy Richard, I hear you’ve got a background in teaching? Yes, I was a teacher for almost 30 years. I taught at Christchurch Boys’ High School for seven of those and at Kaiapoi High School for 21 years. I’m a chemistry teacher. I began in 1969 after finishing my degree – I love chemistry and loved teaching it to the kids. I quit teaching when I was 50, when all the NCEA stuff come in. I’ve been in early retirement since I was 50 but you don’t get as much money, you know. I’ve been involved in writing school textbooks and I asked the editor if there was any chance on some freelance editing and he said yes, I guess so, so that’s why I quit teaching. But I ended up doing computerdrawn artwork for textbooks. What is it about the sciences that you love so much? I think it probably is just how my brain works. I’m fascinated by stuff – but on a very simple level. The sort of stuff you teach

to secondary school kids. I’ve written articles about salt and some of the elements recently. Sounds to me that you haven’t really retired at all. One of the things that I did after the artwork, we started producing exams for schools to use as internal practice ones. In about 1998 when the new prescription came out for year 13 students, they were screaming out for a practice exam and someone said to me could we do it. I got together a team of exschool teachers and there were a few women on maternity leave. That’s been going since 1998 and we now do a year 12, 13 and the chemistry scholarship exam. Tell me about your family? I’ve got a son who’s a lead scientist with the Ferrier Research Institute at Victoria University. A daughter who is in market-
ing at the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology and the youngest who is a stay-at-home mum but she’s worked in environmental science. My wife has an accounting degree but they didn’t go that way. There must be a love for science in your blood. I don’t know. I didn’t push them. In fact I’ve probably done more with kids since they’ve grown up and left. I got really interested in the science of toys and went in with toys to teach kids the science behind them. What other hobbies do you have to keep you busy? I’m a gardener, I read and I’m a guitarist, I had a rock band for a while – we did about six gigs a year. We did it for the enjoyment and played covers of the great rock songs from the 60s and 70s. So when did you get into the
MeNZ Shed – how did it come about? I’ve always had a workshop and I really enjoy working there. I’ve been doing a lot of maintenance stuff at church. It’s been a dream of mine to have some sort of workshop for the community. I was thinking about young people with flats and houses without space for a workshop. I was down at Mitre 10 in Bishopdale and there was a pamphlet for the MeNZ Shed and I said yip, this is exactly what I want. Have you always had a strong connection with the community or was it just the shed that about? I was on the school committee at Kendal School in the early 80s and I’ve been involved with Canterbury Science teachers – But the MeNZ Shed is different because it’s completely voluntary.
Guys come and go and it’s a fantastic thing for guys who have retired. It’s a win-win situation, because we do a lot of community work. What kind of community work? We’ve built a lot of planter boxes for the council social housing. The council provides the timber and we build them. We do repairs and making stuff for pre-schools, kindergartens and Plunkets. Individuals come in and say can you make this for us and we’ll have a look at it. Or just repairing bits of furniture that are broken and they give us a donation. One of the things we don’t want to do is we don’t want to take work away from tradesmen. Do you find it’s a win for the community but also win for you guys coming together and having a bit of fun? Oh definitely, we’ve got a few, who have worked 40 hours a week for 40-plus years and someone just gives them a box of chocolates and shows them the door. For the first two weeks it’s fantastic but now what do I do? We’ve had people who have come and said they’ve retired and basically they’re depressed and say this is the best thing that could have happened. What are you working on at the moment? We make coffins, which started through a lady who belongs to the coffin club. Her original vision was to make coffins for stillborn babies. So to pay for that, she makes the full-size ones, which are sort of pre-ordered. Recently, we were approached by the Antarctic Centre asking us to make kit-sets for penguin boxes. The idea is that kids at the centre will assemble them and they’ll eventually go out on the peninsula with DOC rangers. We’re also making iPad stands for people with low vision. You’ve got plenty to keep you busy then. Well yes, but if I didn’t, I’d get bored. I’m a practical guy, I don’t sit and philosophise about much.

Driven Sharp price for Subaru Impreza By Ross Kiddie THIRTEEN YEARS ago I guided an acquaintance into a new car, it was a Subaru Impreza and it was a car which was priced at $25,000 with four-wheel-drive and 2-litre engine. My friend still has that car and it has now travelled faultfree over 200,000km, scheduled maintenance has been the only service cost. I remember writing at the time how much of a bargain that car was, and if finances at the time had allowed, I may well have purchased an Impreza as well. Well, nothing has changed, I still can’t afford a new car and now Subaru has another new Impreza available at a budget price. For just $5000 more than the new price in 2004, the newgeneration model represents amazing value, and it is stacked with value features, items which you wouldn’t ordinarily expect in a budget car. The new generation model gets Eye-sight driver assist technology, a camera-based system which is linked to adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, pre-collision assist and pedestrian avoidance. Other features for comfort and convenience include automatic stop-start as a fuel saving measure, keyless entry and ignition, Apple Car Play and Android Auto capability, along with the usual features modern cars include as a matter of course. The new Impreza still has the traditional 2-litre, flat-four (boxer) engine. It has been developed to a point where it is state-of-the-art in terms of power outputs, emission control and fuel efficiency. In terms of figures, the quad-camshaft unit is rated at 115kW and 196Nm, while a 6.6-litre per 100km/h (42mpg) combined cycle fuel usage average is claimed by Subaru. Drive is channelled to all four wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission. Not only does the four-wheel-drive system alleviate the fear of grip loss on loose surfaces, there is a lot of natural grip supplied on the seal, the Impreza has handling ability which is unrealistic for this class of car.
• Price – Subaru Impreza, $29,990 • Dimensions – Length, 4460mm; width, 1775mm; height, 1480mm • Configuration – Four-cylinder, four-wheel-drive, 1995cc, 115kW, 196Nm, continuously variable automatic. • Performance – 0-100km/h, 9.3sec • Fuel usage – 6.6l/100km

A brand new Summerset Retirement Village is coming soon to Casebrook, joining other villages around the country including Summerset in the Orchard (Hastings), Summerset at the Course (Wellington) and Summerset by the Ranges (Levin).
In the first instance, grip is supplied by 205/50 x 17in Turanza tyres, and even though they aren’t Bridgestone’s sport specification rubber, the tyres have prodigious grip. If you add in a flat and controlled body balance and drive channelled constantly through to all wheels, the handling balance is biased towards sporty. That comes without the springs and dampers being overly firmed, ride quality is still paramount to the Subaru way of manufacture. Power is directed freely through the transmission. In this form the Impreza doesn’t get the turbocharging system of its WRX stablemates, but it is an honest, punchy engine. In my introduction I mentioned the high level of specification. Another useful feature are the steering wheel-mounted paddles which the driver can use to initiate ratio changes within the CVT system. There’s also a sequential system at the main gearshift lever itself, but as a driver you can be lured into a sporty sensation if you utilise the paddles. However, first and foremost, the Impreza caters for the family unit. While sedans are fast losing popularity, I’m still a bit of a fan and I’m quite smitten with Subaru product; together I’d be sold on the Impreza in this form. On-board comfort is high and space for three rear occupants isn’t compromised by compact exterior dimensions. Subaru’s line-up isn’t extensive, but the company is far more than a global niche market player. All of the models offered here are functional and practical, each designed for a different role. The Impreza is there to tempt as an entry level car into the brand. Just like my friend, those who do choose to buy Subaru will be rewarded with reliability, functionality and a high level of safety, much of the latter attributed to the stability and grip four-wheel-drive offers. You’d had better be quick, though, from what I’ve heard through industry sources the Impreza in this form is only available in limited numbers and is selling fast.
