Heart beats again in City Mall Welcome back: Shoppers in City Mall enjoying being back in the central city.

Samantha Early

CENTRAL city property owner Antony Gough is suggesting a parking refund scheme to keep the momentum rolling for retailers after a successful opening for the City Mall Restart shopping precinct. Mr Gough, a member of Restart the Heart, said he was keen to see a parking validation scheme like the one which operated at the bars on The Terrace (formerly The Strip). He wanted to get shops to refund parking charges if shoppers spent a

certain amount. “I’m hoping to try and introduce that as a way of encouraging people to both come in and also shop” An estimated 20,000 people turned out over the weekend to see the 27 temporary shops set up in shipping containers which marked the first reopening for business of a large part of the red zone. Two Wilson Parking areas, charging $1 an hour were available, along with a Christchurch City Council car

park which offered two hours free parking, charging after that. Street parking in the vicinity was controlled by council parking meters, with many making the most of the sunny weather by parking a long way away and walking in. It is also close to the new temporary Central Station bus exchange. Mr Gough said parking charges were necessary to stop shopkeepers and the approximately 500 red zone workers using parks which were

needed by shoppers. “We just wanted them to open their doors at the moment then we will go talking about fine tuning from there.” Central City Business Association manager Paul Lonsdale said Mr Gough’s idea was something to look at down the track. “I don’t think it’s going to be an issue; I think the atmosphere we’re getting so far, they’re really enjoying the experience and I don’t think a dollar

an hour is going to put them off.” Mr Lonsdale said having consistent shopping hours for the precinct was key to its success and many of the shops were opening beyond the minimum hours required of them by Restart the Heart. Ballantynes managing director Mary Devine said the lead-up to the opening was frantic. “Once we opened the doors it was so worthwhile, it was a fabulous weekend.”

CBD red zone bus trips starting this weekend BUS tours through the CBD red zone begin this weekend and due to expected high demand, people wanting to take a tour will need to register for a seat. Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) will need to record exactly who is on each bus. Everyone aged 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult at a one adult-one child ratio. Buses to cater for people with mobility challenges will be available

and people needing that should advise Cera when registering. Callers will be asked several safety questions so the potential danger of being in the CBD is made clear to them. “The CBD is an active work site, but apart from that it is still a dangerous place should another large earthquake occur,” Cera general manager of demolitions, Warwick Isaacs said. No-one will be allowed to get off

the buses inside the CBD. However, in the event of a major earthquake visitors could need to walk out of the area, so sensible shoes – no slip-ons, jandals or high heels – and weather-appropriate clothing must be worn. This initial CBD visit programme runs from this Saturday to December 11. Buses will run from 2pm to 6pm on Saturdays and 10am to 6pm Sundays. The bus trips start and finish at

Cranmer Square. The route may vary as the trips work in with ongoing demolition work in the CBD. A gold coin contribution will help cover the cost of the bus company and staff hire. The net cost to the taxpayer is around $200,000. The number to call for booking seats is 0800 RING CERA (0800 7464 2372). Bookings can be made Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm.

Step forward for cycle and walkway RESIDENTS from Sumner, Redcliffs, Mt Pleasant and surrounding bays are joining forces to make sure long held community aspirations for a cycle and walkway from Sumner to Ferry Rd are realised sooner rather than later. Mt Pleasant Memorial Community Centre and Residents’ Association member Linda Rutland, Redcliffs Information Centre chairperson Fletcher Stanton and Sumner Residents Association member Marnie Kent met with Mainland Press on Friday to announce the formation of the Coastal Pathways Project incorporated society. Around 20 local residents including cyclists, lawyers, architects and engineers, were involved with forming the society which was seen as an important step in advocating for the vision and attracting funding.

Ms Rutland said a proper cycle and walkway in the area had been talked about for decades. Most recently it had come up through the Sumner Urban Design Group’s consultation with the community. “It’s one of the Pedal power: Marnie Kent, Linda Rutland and Fletcher Stanton say now is the ideal things that right time for a local cycle and walkway project. throughout our communities it’s visitors, once the city got back on expressed support for the vision, really, really wanted and sought its feet. as had Christchurch City Council after so we decided to get some “It’s not just the city centre, it’s staff. action going.� The society will be officially what else is here – You’ve got The group considered now to Akaroa, Lyttelton, Sumner, New launched at the Back on Bikes be an opportune time for such a Brighton – the coastal areas. event at McCormacks Bay project as work already needed Let’s showcase them and you Reserve on Saturday and its to be done to repair earthquake can’t do that unless you put the members have asked for residents damaged roads and sea walls. from across Christchurch to come right infrastructure in.� Ms Kent said the project would Ms Rutland said Bike NZ along and express their thoughts help showcase Christchurch to and SPOKES Canterbury had on the idea.

Letters to the editor

Chris Tobin editor@mainlandpress.co.nz

Anderton’s experience will be of value WITH the Rugby World Cup now fading into the background although the golden afterglow remains, politicians now dominate the landscape whether it’s their billboards on street corners or their faces on television. We have a general election next month and things kicked off on Monday evening with quite a feisty debate between PM John Key and Labour’s Phil Goff. In Mainland Press we’ve been busy profiling electorates in recent weeks and in this issue we consider Ilam which is held by Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee. Also in this issue we profile a political figure who is exiting the stage after having served in parliament for 27 years – Jim Anderton. Whether you agree or disagree with Mr Anderton it can be said of him that in general he stuck to his political principles. As everyone knows he ran in the mayoralty race

last year and looked a certainty until the September 4 earthquake tipped him out of the driver’s seat and Bob Parker romped in for another three years. At the age of 73 it might be tempting for Mr Anderton to step back and even leave the city since he comes from Auckland and some of his family have had enough of earthquakes and want a future elsewhere. However, Mr Anderton says he will stay in Christchurch and be of use in the rebuild as best he can. He is to be commended for this. As a former deputy prime minister for three years and cabinet minister for nine years his experience will be of value. He says mess-ups have occurred in the earthquake recovery which are to be expected in a disaster of the scale we have been through. However he feels that “very soon” a sharper line of authority and decision making process will be needed to enable things to be done more quickly. More pro-activity is needed, he believes.

Stressed families needing more support WHEN all the additional stress every family has been through with the earthquakes is combined with power and control issues you’re bound to get an increase in the need for support, Julie McLoy of Christchurch Women’s Refuge says. Ms McCloy, who is the organisation’s brand development manager, said with many families moving out of Christchurch to areas north of the city, “there’s been quite a change in demand in the North Canterbury area”. However, that doesn’t mean the demand in Christchurch has dropped. “It’s just that we’ve really noticed that the demand for support has grown in North Canterbury,” she said. The charity recently received a grant of $148,000

A peaceful assembly We would like to make it known to our community, our national authorities, and our local authorities, that the occupation currently residing in South Hagley Park, Christchurch, is a political statement. We are exercising our continuing right as citizens of this democratic country to peaceably assemble and protest the injustices facing our society. This right is codified in our Bill of Rights, Section 16. We are also exercising our right to employ an occupation of tents as a political statement. This right is codified in our Bill of Rights, Section 14. We would also like to make it clear that we are not a disorderly assembly, based on Section 5A(3) of the Summary Offences Act 1981 No 113. We are conscious that we are potentially in violation of some local by-laws regarding freedom camping in public spaces, but we want

it to be made very clear that our actions are not those of freedom campers, but of citizens exercising our right to peaceful assembly and to freedom of expression. We hope that the current good will that has been shown towards us will continue until we are satisfied that we no longer need to actively exercise these rights. Occupy Christchurch (letter abridged)

Youth pay When parents of our country’s youth line up at the ballot box this election, they should think about John Key’s decision to pay youth rates. What kind of “Bright Future” have our children got when they are classed as cheap labour, only to be exploited. So much for the promise to catch up with Australia’s standard of living. At least Labour are forward thinking with their $15 an hour minimum wage policy. J H Danko Mt Pleasant

Our Poll

from Pub Charity “This is by far the biggest grant we have ever received and is double the amount of any grant we’ve previously had,” Ms McCloy said. Some of the money will be used over the next six months to fund wages for staff who provide education, support services and advice for women and their children. “Support and advocacy are the core aspects of our work,” Ms McCloy said. “Another part of the grant will go towards funding a new model of service we are developing. We are in the research and planning stages of that at the moment and we will be up and racing with it in February next year.”

Mixed reaction to games idea Samantha Early

THE idea to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games in New Zealand, based in a rebuilt Christchurch City is being treated with caution by leading sports administrators. Mayor Bob Parker suggested New Zealand should bid to host the games, with Christchurch hosting the opening and closing events, athletics and swimming with other events spread around the country. He said it would be a wonderful goal and a chance to introduce the rebuilt city to the world. “We have to rebuild our sports facilities anyway and will have the greater part of the budget to do this from insurance payouts,”

Mayor Parker said. Christchurch 1974 Commonwealth Games organising committee chairman Sir Ron Scott said there would need to be significant changes to the way the games were set up, run and funded before New Zealand could commit to the event. Sir Ron said these included who would have financial control and responsibility for covering costs. He said organisers would have to examine whether the games still had the status of former years, given most major sports now had their own world championships and also look at which sports could draw stadium and television

audiences. “Apart from athletics and swimming and more recently with addition of netball and [rugby] sevens most of the other sports don’t have sufficient pulling power.” He said Mr Parker was on the right track to hold the games over several cities to spread the cost, though that would require a change to current rules. Sport Canterbury chief executive Geoff Barry acknowledged the passion and euphoria from the Rugby World Cup but said the Commonwealth Games was a very different event and may not drive the same economic return. He agreed with the mayor about having

something to target as the relaunch of the city, however sporting infrastructure needed to be rebuilt primarily for the people of Christchurch. “An event is a very one-off opportunity so if those two things align, that is the asset is what the people need and want then it’s great but if they don’t align quite right, I think it’s more important for the next 70 years of people in Canterbury being able to use that asset properly rather than the one off 2022. “The Commonwealth Games doesn’t mean a lot for the people of the eastside right now, we’ve got to get the kids learning to swim, rowing in rivers.” samantha@mainlandpress.co.nz

Economy considered key issue in Ilam

ELECTIONS

5 2 0 11

Duncan Martin

EARTHQUAKE recovery and the state of the national economy are emerging as key issues for Ilam in the run-up to the 2011 general election. Incumbent National Party MP and Gerry Brownlee won the candidate vote by a margin of 11,893 at the last election, and has been the electorate MP for Ilam since 1996. Mr Brownlee, who is also Minister for Earthquake Recovery, said the major local issue was the earthquake rebuild, and assisting people to rebuild their lives. National would aim to do so by supporting the re-establishing of local businesses, schools and infrastructure, he said. “As a local resident and MP I care about Canterbury’s future. I bring experience both on a local and national level and believe I strongly represent my electorate, the region and the community in Parliament.”

Labour Party candidate John Parsons would be contesting the seat for the first time, and also pointed out improvements to local businesses and schools as major local issues. “Ilam is a great place to live and work, and I know the people in our electorate are resilient, creative, and energetic. In November, we have a real opportunity to lay the foundations for a vibrant and prosperous future.” Mr Parsons said the constituents of Ilam were frustrated at the spiralling cost of living and the stalled earthquake recovery. “They’re disappointed with what they see as poor engagement with their current MP and the lack of a clear plan for growth from this government.” Mr Brownlee said he hoped the National Party would be returned to govern the country with a strong mandate.

“I have been out putting up hoardings and will be campaigning hard to retain the seat and gain a strong party vote for National. There is no place for complacency.” Mr Parsons would not be standing for a position on the party list, but said he would be aiming to represent his constituents as their electorate MP. “The candidate vote offers Ilam voters a real chance for better attitude and better representation. But the party vote is critical for the direction of our country as a whole,” he said. ACT Party candidate Gareth Veale said the main issues for his campaign were the economy, jobs, and growth. The ACT Party aimed to keep more New Zealanders in the country, after roughly 200,000 people had relocated to Australia in search of employment, he said. The party vote was central to Mr Veale’s campaign. “I’m not seeking the candidate vote. They

can give it to Gerry if they want, or they can give it to that John Parsons fellow, I don’t care. The party vote is essential to the ACT party coming back with enough numbers to give National some backbone after the election.” Green Party list-MP Kennedy Graham, said the party vote would be critical to his campaign, and getting the party over the 5% threshold. “We have got excellent new talent in our candidate list in 2011, and it is important we have greater influence in the 50th Parliament,” he said. Mr Graham’s campaign was focussed around getting New Zealand children out of poverty, cleaning up the nation’s rivers and greening the national economy. “From the public meetings and private conversations I have had already, the people are concerned as much over the global crisis that is swirling around us as with the Christchurch rebuild,” he said.

Half-way there: Gwyn Upritchard on his way to completing a 240-kilometre bike ride to raise money for Arthritis New Zealand. Photo: Gina McKenzie

Gina McKenzie

GWYN Upritchard fulfilled a 20-yearold promise when he smashed his coastto-coast cycling record on October 22 to raise funds for Arthritis New Zealand. “Twenty years ago my uncle and I cycled from Greymouth to Christchurch in one and a half days so I was thrilled to complete the ride in 13 hours this time.� Mr. Upritchard’s health problems inspired him to use his cycle journey from Kumara to New Brighton to raise money for arthritis awareness. “I started suffering from gout seven years ago and my wife had arthritis when she was younger so I wanted to support this cause. “Through my own experience of gout I can understand the pain and side effects of arthritis.� Mr. Upritchard prepared for the 240 kilometre cycle ride by training on the Port Hills to build up his endurance and cycling to work each day. “I usually cycle about 20 kilometres a day to and from work but this ride

was a huge challenge for me.� Mr. Upritchard said the most difficult leg of the cycle was between Arthur’s Pass and Porters Pass. “Things started to get difficult there and I felt like I was foundering at that point.� Luckily one of Mr. Upritchard’s coworkers met him at Springfield and rode the rest of the way to New Brighton with him. “It was great to have him there.

Youth workers transform New Brighton library Gina McKenzie

AN innovative project designed to turn New Brighton Library into a youth destination has become a model for other libraries to follow. Over the past two yearsyouth workers from the Youth Alive Trust (YAT) have been running a fun informal afterschool programme for students. “Before the programme started

there were security guards at the entrance of the library and the atmosphere was quite different. “We’ve noticed a very positive improvement and the library has become a community hub where younger people can feel comfortable,� Youth Alive worker Nicole Reddington said. Ms.Reddington said between 20 and 30 students visit the

library daily for the programme which operates from 3pm – 6pm each day. “It’s not a structured programme but a way of relating to them and enjoying activities together. “Some of them don’t have anywhere else to go and this is a safe place for them. “We get to know them well and if there are any issues we know

Youth Alive Trust team leader James Ridpath said other libraries are considered adopting the programme. “When the new city library is built they will offer a similar model to what we’re doing here. “The idea is to make libraries friendly and welcoming to youth.�

McMASTER HEAP VETERINARY PRACTICE

FRANKIE’S FOREIGN BODY

Frankie, a 4 year old cream, male neutered Persian was referred to our clinic early one morning, after a touch and go night spent at the after hours clinic. 24 hours previously he appeared suddenly unable to breathe or move, he was open mouth breathing and he was bleeding out both nostrils. He wasn’t attempting to eat, move, or drink. He was a chronic cat flu carrier so it was thought by the first opinion veterinarian that he was in acute stages of bronchopneumonia or had developed congestive heart failure. There was no access to rat poison. Initially chest radiographs taken suggested possible pulmonary oedema (fluid in the lungs) so Frankie was placed in an oxygen tent, put on intravenous fluids, given diuretics to remove excess fluid from his chest and monitored closely. His temperature spiked several times through the night and his breathing was forced and fast. But fabulous Frankie survived the night. He was referred to our practice the next morning for ultrasound of his chest and heart performed by Dr Catherine Morganti. Catherine diagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with minimal left atrial enlargement but she wasn’t convinced that this was the cause of Frankie’s acute bout of laboured breathing and distress. Full bloods and urine revealed no marked abnormalities but clinically Frankie was still flat and depressed. He was continuously sneezing out thick blood tinged pus from his nose and he was struggling to breath, spending most of his time open mouth breathing. We had continued the intravenous fluids, started him on antibiotics, bronchodilators, pain medication and multivitamins. Our dedicated intensive care team spent hours cleaning his nose, syringe feeding him, brushing him and just trying to make him feel better. After 24 hours of seeing no improvement whatsoever, we decided the best option was to anaesthetize Frankie to enable us to examine his nostrils and back of his throat and obtain appropriate samples for the laboratory if required. A cancerous mass of his nostrils or throat, a foreign body, nasty bacterial/fungal infection or injury were likely possibilities. We felt the laboured, fast breathing was a result of his completely blocked nose rather than heart or lung disease. We needed to determine the cause of the nasal discharge so we could treat appropriately. What followed next was pure joy for a veterinarian. Catherine satisfyingly pulled out a “garden” from Frankie’s caudal nasal cavity made up of several blades of grass, a large wad of matted fur and some seed heads. This was achieved slowly and carefully using a dental mirror and spey hook. Repeated back flushing of the nostrils with sterile saline produced more grass and lots of pus. The back of his throat looked normal and no cancerous masses were seen. While Frankie was under anaesthetic, he also received a dental scale and polish, removal of a rotten tooth and he woke up with a new look – a smart lion clip. Needless to say, Frankie woke up a whole new cat. Within 12 hours he was ravenously tucking g into wet food, the sneezing had all but ceased, his breathing was normal and the nasal discharge had markedly improved. He was one of the loveliest cats to treat and care for and hopefully now with his new, shaven, summer look, hairballs and grass ingestion will be a thing of the past. Or so his owners hope!

The area of the alcohol ban.

THE temporary alcohol ban in place in the Riccarton/Ilam area will officially become permanent from December. The ban is 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week in all public spaces and all roads controlled by the council in the area enclosed by Blenheim Road, Curletts Road, Peer Street, Waimairi Road, Greers Road, Memorial Avenue, Fendalton Road, Deans Avenue and back up to Blenheim Road, including University Drive but excluding the other private roads on University of

Canterbury property. The Christchurch City Council approved the amendment to its Alcohol Restrictions in Public Places Bylaw 2009 at a meeting last week. The ban makes it illegal to either drink or carry an open container of alcohol in public places and people who breach the ban may be arrested and charged. The temporary ban was set to expire on November 30.

BUSINESSES in the Selwyn district are being acknowledged for their efforts to be more environmentally sustainable. The 2011 Responsible Business Awards, an initiative of the Lincoln Envirotown Trust supported by the Selwyn District Council, were presented in a series of ceremonies in the district over the past month. Lincoln Envirotown Trust chairwoman Dr Sue Jarvis said the awards involved businesses filling out a survey about a broad range of environmental measures they were taking, such as recycling and reducing energy use.

“Assessors then go round and visit every business and look at what the business is actually doing,” Dr Jarvis said. Leeston Envirotown held its Ellesmere Responsible Business Award presentations on October 10, with 52 businesses from Leeston, Southbridge and Doyleston picking up awards for environmentally sustainable business practices and 24 businesses gaining gold awards. Organisers said it was a big improvement from last year when 29 gained awards and six gained gold status, and next year the businesses hope to go one level up and receive platinum awards. Rolleston celebrated its first ever

Responsible Business Award on October 21, with 25 businesses gaining awards. Selwyn Mayor Kelvin Coe presented nine gold awards and three platinum awards, with the top award going to John and Liz Veix of Solar Energy Specialists. The Lincoln and Prebbleton awards were presented at a combined ceremony on October 27, with 52 Lincoln businesses gaining awards. A total of 25 businesses gained gold awards and seven gained the highest level platinum award and Kidsfirst Kindergartens Lincoln came away with the top prize. Prebbleton businesses gained six gold awards but no platinum awards yet.

Stressed families in need of extra help and support WHEN all the additional stress every family has been through with the earthquakes is combined with power and control issues you’re bound to get an increase in the need for support, Julie McLoy of Christchurch Women’s Refuge says. Ms McCloy, who is the organisation’s brand development manager, said with many families moving out of Christchurch to areas north of the city, “there’s been quite a change in demand in the North Canterbury area”. However, that doesn’t mean the demand in Christchurch has dropped. “It’s just that we’ve really noticed the demand for support has grown in North Canterbury,” she said. The charity recently received a grant of $148,000 from Pub Charity “This is by far the biggest grant we have ever received and is double the amount

UK &

Europe

of any grant we’ve previously had,” Ms McCloy said. Some of the money will be used over the next six months to fund wages for staff who provide education, support services and advice for women and their children. “Support and advocacy are the core aspects of our work,” Ms McCloy said. “Another part of the grant will go towards funding a new model of service we are developing. We are in the research and planning stages of that at the moment and we will be up and racing with it in February next year. “It will supplement what we do by providing additional support in family violence situations. “We’re delighted that Pub Charity has seen the value of our work and understands that things are quite difficult for people.”

Youth voice to be heard in city at election time Tom Doudney

There was also an intention to help youth realise that politicians were accountable to them even if they were currently too young to vote. “This might give them the chance to see that it’s not actually that hard to approach their local electorate and say ‘I want you to do this’ or ‘why haven’t you done this?’� While the youth council had previously discussed the idea of running such a project, it was a conversation between its members and Green MP Gareth Hughes which provided the impetus to put plans into action. Mr Hughes had said the idea would be easy to achieve. “This is the first time we’ve actually got involved with national politics in this respect so it is an interesting new step for us.�

THEY may be too young to vote but those under 18 will still be able to make themselves heard during this year’s general election period. Christchurch youth advocacy group The Otautahi Youth Council has organised a voting website to give people of all ages a chance to decide who they think should be running the country. Visitors to the website can vote for a party, electorate MP and voting system. They will also be asked why they voted the way they did and answers for each age group will be looked at with a view to finding out how politically aware young people are. Youth council chairperson Cameron Ellis said there was great interest in the results of those under 18. “We feel that if in some ways they can make an informed decision about voting there could be a very solid argument for the voting age to be lowered.�

Family business celebrates 75 years Chris Tobin

FROM humble beginningsin a small four-metre by nine-metre shop on the corner of Clyde and Fendalton roads, the Turner family is celebrating 75 years in a business which has grown considerably. The small shop is now the Fendalton New World supermarket in Memorial Avenue and a long way from the time when the late Walter J. Turner started out. “My father came out from Britain when he was 14 on his own and I’ve wondered at his courage ever since,� eldest son and the supermarket’s owner-operator Jim Turner said. “The reasons for his success were that he was always diligent, hardworking and conservative and he valued people and customers.� Since 1936 when Walter opened the business, four generations of the Turner family has been involved and generations of the same families have continued

as customers. Mr Turner said a woman pointed out to him a young child who was the fifth generation of a family that had shopped at the Turners’. “There’s been a lot of old Fendalton and new Fendalton families,� Mr Turner said. In 1965 the family bought land where Fendalton New World now stands and opened Fendalton Mall five years later with Mr Turner operating the supermarket and his brother William an adjacent chemist business. “We meet the requirements of the people,� Mr Turner said explaining why they had managed to keep operating for 75 years. “What’s needed is service and we’re lucky to have a very good staff but we’re very careful in our selection of them.�

Earthquake movie captures spirit of Christchurch Gina McKenzie

POWERFUL post-earthquake tales of survival and hope from Christchurch residents feature in When a City Falls which premieres on November 16. Film-maker Gerard Smyth of Frank Films said the documentary captured the fortitude of the human spirit and he believed people would feel uplifted after watching the film. “There are some very raw moments but by the end I think people will be feeling really positive about the future of Christchurch. Mr Smyth said the film had evolved in tandem with the earthquakes. “When we started filming after the first earthquake in September we had a very different film to what we have now.

“We had actually completed the film in late January and then February happened.” Immediately after February’s earthquake Mr Smyth found himself filming on the streets outside his Oxford Terrace office. “We were just capturing everything as it unrolled with raw reactions from people on the street. “This film is all about people and we capture what happened from an insider’s perspective,” Film producer Alice Shannon believed the documentary reflected the heart of Christchurch. “People will see how beautiful we are and how we really care about each other. “For me Christchurch is grittier now but we all know each other

much better because of what we’ve been through together.” Ms Shannon said everyone who worked on the film from the crew to the soundtrack musicians had a local connection to the city. “It was really important for us to support the local industry in the aftermath of the earthquakes.” For Ms Shannon the most difficult aspect of the production process was deciding which stories made the cut. “It was very hard to decide which stories went in and which didn’t. We hope to release a DVD later which includes all the stories.” When a City Falls premieres at Reading Cinemas at The Palms on November 16 and will open nationwide on November 24.

Christopher Doig Foundation established

Christopher Doig

THE Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and Southern Opera have launched a Christopher Doig Foundation to develop the potential of future Canterbury leaders.

“We wanted to recognise Chris and the best way to do that was to ensure that young people have the opportunity to develop their skills,” Christchurch Symphony Orchestra chief executive James Caygill said. “Chris was lucky enough to have the right teachers at the right time and we want young people in our region to have the same access to resources so that they can secure a bright future.” “We need to find more people like Chris who will develop into wellrounded leaders in various fields.” The foundation adminsters the Christopher Doig scholarship which will provide financial assistance to promising young people aged under 30 living in Canterbury. Scholarship contenders will excel inacademic, artistic, community or sporting fields. For further information or to make a donation phone 03 960 4090 or email lynne@christopherdoigfoundation.co.nz

Addington set for Cup Day WITH Cup Day less than two weeks away Addington Raceway is ready for the crowds. Although the public stand was lost in February’s earthquake, organisers provided a range of temporary infrastructure to accommodate the 25,000 people expected to be on course for Cup Day. “While the loss of the public stand created a challenge, it enabled us to develop a fantastic new party area on the site which we are very confident will be a huge hit with revellers” Addington Raceway CEO Shane Gloury said. “The area will contain a 1000 seat temporary grandstand overlooking the track, three large marquees, a big screen, a band playing throughout the day, bars, food outlets, totes, plenty of

tables and chairs and lots of toilets.” “Both our Metropolitan and Twiggers stands were unaffected by the earthquake and with these facilities still intact plus what we have in place, all is ready for a fantastic Cup Day. “While the February earthquake meant that Canterbury lost a number of major events and missed out on much of the Rugby World Cup festivities, Cantabrians are certain to make the most of this opportunity to get out, put their troubles to one side and to enjoy themselves during Cup and Show Week.” Although the raceway is bringing in two temporary grandstands for patrons on Cup Daythere will still be less grandstand seating available for the general public than in previous years.

Film buffs to gather in city

THE resumption of direct air services between Japan and Christchurch signals confidence in the long-term viability of the region as a visitor destination, says the region’s tourism chief executive. On Monday, Air New Zealand recommenced its direct services into Christchurch from Japan three times a week. The airline had cut its direct services between Christchurch and Japan following the earthquakes earlier this year, but it is now resuming its normal summer schedule. Christchurch and Canterbury Tourism chief executive Tim Hunter said the decision to reinstate regular direct flights was a sign that confidence was returning in Canterbury as a destination and that the South Island remained a premier draw-card for Japanese visitors. “It is a really positive development and will provide a big morale boost to our tourism operators. Japan has traditionally been a very important market for us so it is vital to have the direct air link.� Christchurch International Airport general manager of aeronautical business development Matthew Findlay said the flights illustrated the strong demand from Japanese travellers to visit the South Island. “Christchurch is still very much the gateway to the South Island and it is vital we re-establish the air links we had prior to February’s earthquake as soon as possible because we need international visitors to keep our tourism industry afloat.� Singapore Airlines is to increase its flights to daily to Christchurch from November and Air Asia X brought

Christmas appeal to begin The Salvation Army is encouraging New Zealanders to start their Christmas shopping early and drop their gifts into their local Kmart store to help support New Zealand’s largest Christmas gift appeal. The annual appeal starts on November 16 and runs until Christmas Eve aiming to collect more than 35,000 gifts this year. Salvation Army spokesperson Major Robbie Ross said New Zealanders should revisit the spirit of giving. “We want Kiwis to connect with the idea of wishing for something for Christmas – but not for themselves, rather for others in their local community who may not be as fortunate.�

Love Christchurch was produced with funding from the New Zealand 2011 Lotteries Commission and the Real NZ Festival and features local bands that played in the North Hagley Park Fanzone during the Rugby World Cup. CHART (the Christchurch Music Industry Trust) manager Jeff Jeff Fulton Fulton said it was hoped $25,000 could be raised from the sale of “A lot of bands used to rehearse the CDs to fund the desperately in the second floors of those old needed rehearsal space. buildings in the central city and

also storage garages and things – a lot of those have been wiped out. “To be honest it’s something the city has needed for a while, a very cool rehearsal space for bands that is more than just that, it’s a bit of a hub where people can meet, have a cup of tea and a chat.� Four or five possible venues for the rehearsal space had been looked at, with a view to taking an immediate short-term lease. “I’m just very keen to get it going as soon as possible and it’s also a possible employment opportunity for some musicians, as well, to run the space,� Mr Fulton

said. They were looking in the area between Lichfield Street and Moorhouse Avenue, which had been identified in the draft central-city plan as a raised decibel noise restriction zone. There had been some discussions with Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology and the Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand over the possibility of sharing some space in the future. Love Christchurch is currently available for purchase online via www.amplifier.co.nz for a donation of at least $10.

Vigil for peace in Harewood THE Coptic Orthodox Church of St Mary and St Athnasious in Harewood will be holding a vigil for peace on Friday to commemorate 29 young Coptic worshippers killed recently in Egypt. The victims were killed when the military used force to break up a peaceful protest against the persecution and burning of Coptic churches, taking in place in the capital city of Cairo. Parish priest Father Sourial Sourial said they were asking Christchurch residents of all faiths and

ethnicities to support the vigil. “Twenty-nine were killed just because we were asking for our rights as Christians to build our churches. So here in Christchurch, as Egyptians, we are making a memorial service just to make a sort of prayer and a vision for peace, to ask for peace, not only in Egypt but all over the world.� The vigil is at St Mary and St Athnasious Church at 290 Wooldridge Rd, Harewood between 5:30pm and 7:30pm.

One sided games decide bowls titles BOTH Canterbury Bowls Singles titles were won decisively on the Bowls Papanui Green on Sunday. In the women’s final, New Zealand representative Jan Khan from the Beckenham Club lost her form in the final and was beaten 21-5 by clubmate Adele Greenfield. Khan had played well in her quarter and semi final games but lost her way in the final, failing to put anything consistent together apart from one end, while Greenfield played steadily throughout. For Greenfield it was her fourth centre title. The men’s final promised plenty also with Gary Lawson from the Belfast club winning his three post section games easily to make the final while Canterbury’s Andrew Kelly, the other finalist, also won his games convincingly. However the final proved to be somewhat of an anticlimax with Kelly moving steadily away from Lawson with smooth draw play to win 21-10. Lawson tried hard but Kelly had command of his weight and was able to control most of the game. Kelly was only in serious trouble twice in the final and managed to recover well with his last bowl on each occasion. It was Kelly’s second centre title having won the centre fours last year. Womens section results.- Quarter finals: Jan Khan (Beckenham) 21, Ann Simpson (Beckenham) 12; Mary-Anne Johnstone (Elmwood) 21, Rosemary Finch (Beckenham) 7; Dawn Richards (Halswell) won by default. Adele Greenfield (Beckenham) 21, Serena Mathews (Leeston) 15. Semi finals: Khan 21, Johnstone 9; Greenfield 21, Richards 14. Final: Greenfield 21, Khan 5.

Celebrating French heritage DECKED out in red, white and blue, Akaroa was a picture of French pride for the 2011 French Fest held in the town over the weekend. About 6500 visitors enjoyed the French-themed event, which was held to commemorate the arrival of French settlers in 1838. It included a street parade, street stalls, a party on Friday night, a bouncy castle and other activities for children, a ball on Saturday night and a French cricket tournament on Sunday. The tournament was made even more authentic with the presence of a group of French sailors from the frigate Vendćmiaire, which was visiting Lyttelton. The French Fest is a biennial event, and this year, for the second time, businesses were invited to take part in the best-dressed business competition. The winner was ATA Gallery. The next French Fest, in 2013, will be the 175th anniversary of the landing of the French landing in Akaroa.

Looking back on a long parliamentary career his month former deputy prime minister Jim Anderton, the longest continuously serving member in the House, will retire after 27 years as MP for Wigram, or as the electorate was formerly known, Sydenham. Mainland Press editor Chris Tobin spoke with Mr Anderton to discuss Mr Anderton’s career and how he feels now he is retiring.

He knows what has gone before then and it is interesting then to learn how he feels about the way New Zealand is going. “Most condemn the latest generation as selfish,” he says in reply to a question about whether he thinks the country is better now than when he was growing up. “But the facts are New Zealand is a more unequal society now that it ever has been in its modern history. “The gap between rich and poor is something like 500 times.” He remembers growing up when health care and education were free and there was full employment.

If you have those experiences, an often turbulent parliamentary career he says the the value of life and sacrifice and public commitment satisfaction for him came helping people at a local can never be lost on you. There’s a sort of conscience level, in his electorate. “We have 1500 people a year through this office. of paying back to people.” Being an electorate MP and having the ability to help Now he says there is less giving back. “There was a set of values in New Zealand, and people, that’s really been the highlight for me.The they’re still held by many people, but they’re not held ability to affect people’s lives positively, sometimes by enough of those who’ve got the power and the in a lifesaving way is an incredible privilege. “It’s the one thing that would make me do it all wealth to make a difference. “When I look back those who had a lot when I grew again.” up did not object to a fair share of their wealth going in a distributive sense to those in need.

LIKE rugby players from a faded era, the photographs of Norman Kirk, Michael Joseph Savage and Bill Rowling look down from the wall of Jim Anderton’s office. You could imagine a schoolboy visiting with his dad and exclaiming: “Who are those guys, dad?” An MP since 1984 Jim Anderton is the longest continuously serving member of the House. He gave his valedictory speech last month and has only days left before he leaves parliament for good. With him will go strong links to two of the men in the photos –former Labour Prime Ministers Kirk and Rowling. He worked with and knew both of them well. With his departure a link to old New Zealand will also go - when he was in cabinet he was the only person born before the Second World War.

Getting to understand liquefaction THE bane of Canterbury is clearly shown in this soil profile excavated by Lincoln University scientist Dr Peter Almond in the Tai Tapu-Greenpark area. The grey layer is the fine, damp sandy material which is pushed to the surface under seismic pressure, expressing itself in ‘sand blisters’, such as the one Dr Almond has dug into here, and ‘sand boils’ illustrated by the grey area in the background. The strength of the surface layer, reinforced by a dense network of grass roots, has kept the grey, liquefied sand largely in check, although some upward movement is shown on the left side of the excavation. Only metres away the deforming effect of the earthquake activity has cracked the paddock’s surface layer and allowed liquefied sand to leak, causing a conspicuous ‘sand boil’. Dr Almond has been leading research of the effects of liquefaction on farmland in Canterbury and methods of remediating paddocks. He and Dr Tom Wilson of Canterbury University will be leading more research working with GNS Science and Environment Canterbury over summer. Photo: Lincoln University Left: Lincoln University scientist Dr Peter Almond gets to the bottom of liquefaction.

FENDALTON DENTAL SURGERY

“WISDOM OR PROBLEM” @ FENDALTON DENTAL SURGERY Dr Keith Chiang constantly tells his patients, “There is absolutely no wisdom in them, mostly problems, and having them removed doesn’t make you any less wise”. Third molars are often called “wisdom” teeth because they generally erupt between the ages of 17 and 21 years when we reach adulthood. If they erupt into your mouth well-aligned, then you have a full complement of teeth for functional chewing. Evolution and dietary habits have caused our jaw to become smaller and modern dentistry is mainly focussed on saving your

teeth. These factors have left us with less space in our mouth for the third molars to come through, causing them to become buried, partially erupted or impacted. This most commonly occurs in the lower jaw. Leaving them untreated can cause food trap, bad breath, constant pain, recurrent swelling, infections and even cysts. Dr Keith’s primary focus is Oral Surgery which he is very passionate about. This includes complicated surgical procedures, troublesome “wisdom” teeth, implants and routine minor oral surgical cases, which are referred to him daily by many of the dentists in the Canterbury region. He relocated to his new premises in Fendalton in July 2011, after his practice in the CBD was damaged due to the February earthquake. Cambridge Dental Surgery had been established over 35 years ago and he bought the business in October 2010. He has moved on since

New home for eastside ‘angels’ Gina McKenzie

THE 100 young people from Wainoni and Aranui who flood into Mel Hillier’s home three times per week for her faith-based youth programmes will enjoy the extra space at the group’s new office. Miss Hillier set up the Golden Harvest Trust four years ago to address the poverty-related issues she encountered while working as a teacher at Wainoni School. The new office space was secured at an opportune time as Miss Hillier’s storage contract had just ended. “I was faced with having nowhere to store everything and this office just turned up at the right moment. “We’ll transform it inside and out with a mural of hope covering the walls and it will be a really welcoming place.” Miss Hillier’s programmes, which cater for young people aged from four to 14, focus on developing self-esteem and setting positive goals. “I want to encourage people to have big dreams and to believe in themselves. “Even if you start with nothing there is always something to aim for if you keep on believing.” Miss Hillier also provides around 160 hot meals per week to those attending the programmes using donated food items. “People often just drop off food and support materials on the doorstep. “When our supplies are running low something wonderful always happens to solve the problem.” Miss Hillier said she was excited about the future of her trust and encouraged others to not be afraid of following their dreams. “All great things start from small beginnings and people just need to take that first step to start fulfilling their goals.” The Golden Harvest Trust has set up a Facebook page called Eastside Earthquake Support Angels.

Quake impact noted in report THE impact of the September, February and June earthquakes on the Christchurch City Council’s activities is shown in its latest annual report, though the financial details are not yet finalised. The council adopted its 2011 annual report on Thursday. General manager corporate services Paul Anderson said projects and services were significantly affected by the earthquakes, with resources turned from business-as-usual projects to emergency response and recovery efforts. “There is still a lot of work to be done before we fully understand the extent of damage to city infrastructure and other assets. As a result, much of the financial information set out in this year’s annual report is based on estimated costs. “This means it is not possible to accurately account for the damage in our financial reports and Audit New Zealand has had to issue a disclaimer of opinion on this aspect of our annual report. “While this is not a common

occurrence, it has been widely accepted as a realistic result of the disruption caused by the earthquake. It will not have any impact on general council business.” Mr Anderson said the situation would become clearer as repair work progressed and the council would have a lot more information on which to base next year’s reports. Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said the past year has been truly challenging for the council as it was for residents. “Like everyone else, we are still working through the details of what the earthquakes will cost us as a city and how we will repair the damage. “At this stage, repairs to earthquakedamaged infrastructure, buildings and other assets are estimated to be around $2.4 billion. We are making good progress in responding to the issues, but we still have a lot of work ahead of us. The report will be published on November 28; it will be available online at www.ccc.govt.nz and from council service centres and libraries.

STUDENTS at St James School are better prepared for an emergency after receiving torch radios from the New Zealand Red Cross. The torch radio does not require batteries and is instead solar and wind up powered, weatherproof and can charge cellphones through its USB port. New Zealand Red Cross international operations and emergencies manager Andrew McKie said the torch radios were for students to put in their family’s household emergency survival kit. “Torches and radios are a crucial component of any household emergency survival kit, as ensure people have access to light and important messages at all times. “New Zealand Red Cross is committed

to supporting communities in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, as well as helping them to be prepared for the future. Emergency survival items can help families stay safe and be prepared.” St James principal Jo Barlow said the torch radios were a fantastic tool for keeping families in touch. “The kids are so excited to be given these torch radios, it’s a fun way to drive a really important message home and ensure our kids stay safe.” New Zealand Red Cross ran a pilot programme in September, which saw over 1,000 torch radios delivered to four Waimakariri primary schools. The programme will now be rolled out to Christchurch primary schools affected by the earthquakes.

Two Lincoln students share prize ALICE Churcher of Christchurch and Muhammad Nda, originally from Nigeria, have taken out the 2011 Jade Prize for topping their software engineering class at Lincoln University. They share a $2000 prize in the 13th year that the award has been offered by Jade Software Corporation. Miss Churcher is studying for a graduate Diploma in Software and Information Technology and Mr Nda has just completed a Bachelor of Software and Information Technology degree. “Alice and Muhammad are great examples of what students can achieve,” Software Engineering course examiner Dr Stuart Charters said. “The students put a fantastic amount of effort into their studies and it was impossible to distinguish between their performances. Both are worthy winners of the Jade Prize.” Jade Corporation’s Hiren Patel, who presented the prize, said his company valued its partnership with Lincoln University. “We believe that a close relationship between industry

and academia helps to produce graduates who have relevant and practical skills. The company congratulates Alice and Muhammad. They have continued the strong tradition of excellence established by winners of the Jade Prize.” Miss Churcher, a past pupil of Burnside High School with an honours degree in music from Otago University, is setting her sights on a career as a software developer and software architect after gaining more work experience. MrNda, who attended UlulAlbad Science Secondary School in the northern Nigerian state of Katsina, started at Lincoln University in 2009 and has now completed his degree. “Exposure to the software industry through the course was also a great benefit,” he said. “It provided good experience for moving on into the workplace.” He now has a position with Christchurch based software development company Contec Group International Ltd.

Beat Till Stiff – A Woman’s Recipe for Living by Peta Mathias

Beating egg whites till they’re stiff is a metaphor for life – just when you thought your existence would never be more than flaccid transparent snot, something happens to turn it into tight white light. Once a counsellor, nurse and cook and now a writer, television presenter and all round fabulous woman, Peta Mathias is the queen of transformation. In Beat Till Stiff, Peta shares lessons learnt in her pilgrimage through life, such as how she stopped strangling her mother and why redheads have more fun. Some of the essays in Beat Till Stiff are scurrilous, many are funny and others autobiographical, but all are thoroughly entertaining.

Fruit and veges are key to health W

hile our kids have understood the 5+ A Day message loud and clear, New Zealand adults are lagging behind. Research shows that while 78 per cent of Kiwis are familiar with 5+ A Day, only around 40 per cent of adults meet the recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables. Results from the latest national nutrition survey indicate that half of men and 44 per cent of women (aged 19-30) are not even getting three servings a day of vegetables. The situation is worse for older adults, with 28 per cent of women and 41 per cent of men not meeting this vegetable target. For November, 5+ A Day is raising New Zealanders’ awareness with 5+ A Day Fruit and Vegetable Month. With one third of the typical adult diet consumed during the working day, 5+ A Day is challenging New Zealanders to “Get Real with 5+ A Day@ Work”. The challenge is to encourage Kiwis to increase their intake of fruit and vegetables during their workday for better health. Whether it’s including extra fruit and vegetables with lunch, or reaching for a juicy apple rather than biscuits at morning tea, working Kiwis will be one-step closer to a healthier and more productive day. It is well-known that healthy eating results in healthier employees, fewer sick days and increased productivity. However, eating on the run, workplace morning teas, catered lunches and vending machine food makes meeting the daily

requirement of fruit and vegetables difficult. “In my experience of talking to workers throughout New Zealand, from building sites to banks, law firms and IT companies, it still amazes me that there are so many people who will eat so little fruit and vegetables,” says nutritionist Claire Turnbull, who runs Mission Nutrition and is the nutritionist for Healthy Food Guide Magazine and Newstalk ZB. “People often think they are eating fruit and vegetables every day, but when they actually write down what they eat for a week, they realise they aren’t having nearly as much as they think,” she says. “It is well known that a healthy balanced diet can help you feel better and live longer,” Claire says. “I encourage people to get into a regular routine when it comes to including their fruit Healthy lunch: Sandwich wraps are a great option for the office. and vegetables, an example would be to have a serving of fruit with breakfast every day and a serving at afternoon tea, and then a handful of vegetables with your lunch and at least two handfuls at dinner.” Research indicates that a diet high in fruit and vegetables may help to reduce just about every disease known to humans, including rates of Mon & Tues 11am - 9pm, Wed - Sun 11am - late cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, stroke, Brunch available Fri - Sun 9-2 high blood pressure, osteoporosis and many other conditions.

Entertainment Blues legends to perform BLUES fans are in for a treat when Harry Harrison and Midge Marsden perform an hour of nothing but the blues during the Taste Blues festival on Sunday. The one-day event has been organised by the team behind the New Zealand International Jazz and Blues Festival. “Midge is a legend in the blues scene in New Zealand and his performances are always really popular. It will be fantastic to see him and Harry performing together on stage,’’ festival director Jodi Wright said. Christchurch trio One Foot in the Blues will open Taste Blues. They

will be followed on stage by Billy Valance and Jon Hooker, who will be performing original songs from their album Lovehound. Lyttelton’s Run Around Sue will then perform before handing over the stage to Bobby Lee, a well-known Christchurch blues musician, who has been performing since he was 15. Rounding out the day’s line-up will be Marsden and Harrison. The free Taste Blues event follows Taste Jazz on November 5, and will be held in the Hagley Park Events Village from 11.30am.For more information go to jazzfestivalnz.com

Fireworks extravaganza returns to New Brighton THE skies above New Brighton will provide a canvas for the annual Guy Fawkes fireworks display on Saturday night. The soundtrack will be simulcast on The Breeze on 94.5 FM, so spectators who bring their radios can tune in to enjoy the complete experience. Mayor Bob Parker urged people to have plenty of fun, but to leave their own fireworks at home, and to be aware of New Brighton’s alcohol ban. “After an exciting few weeks of rugby celebrations, people can continue to enjoy the party atmosphere at a fun, relaxing event, and with your help, we’ll make this another great Guy Fawkes night that everyone can enjoy,” he said. Residents who plan to view the action from the Port Hills are advised to find ground-level vantage points instead this year,with many Port Hills roads closed due to earthquake damage and the risk of rockfalls. People are advised to use public transport or arrive early and park on nearby streets. Extra buses will be running to and from the event. Phone 366 8855 or visit www.metroinfo.co.nz for more information. The event will start at 9pm on Firework fun: New Brighton is again the place to be for fireworks fun. Sunday.

Treat in store for ballet lovers CHRISTCHURCH ballet lovers will welcome a special programme of three ballets performed by the Royal New Zealand Ballet from November 16-18. The programme features Aurora’s Wedding, the spectacular final act of The Sleeping Beauty; Christchurch choreographer Andrew Simmons’ critically acclaimed A Song in the Dark, and the Balcony Pas de Deux from Romeo and Juliet. Aurora’s Wedding culminates in the wedding of Princess Aurora and Prince Desire. The king gives the couple a pair of magical bluebells as a wedding present. A Song in the Dark is a lyrical piece which focuses on the themes of love and missed opportunities. The Balcony Pas de Deux from Romeo and Juliet captures the high passions and secret liaisons of this much loved Shakespeare play. The performance begins at 7:30pm at the CBS Canterbury Arena. Adult tickets: premium $50, A reserve $40, B reserve $30 and all children’s tickets $25. Book at TICKETEK.

Quirky club raises funds for damaged cricket facilities ARANUI High School, the Heathcote Cricket Club and Lancaster Park Woolston Club are to benefit from the proceeds of a special Christchurch earthquake fund established by the Queen Street Cricket Club. All three organisations had earthquake damage to their grounds and practice nets. According to its website, the Queen Street Cricket Club claims to be “a gathering of cricketing eccentrics, ladies, gentlemen and players who provide a mentor and guide in all matters relating to cricket, with notes on proper sporting behaviour, the whole being an authorised digest of legislation expressed in simple lessons and strict regulations, and gather to do good works in the esteemed name of cricket”. The club fundraises in the

following manner: “Principally, whenever a New Zealand test player fails to record a run, each member is fined the princely sum of five taxdeductible dollars.” The patron is Sir Ron Brierley. The first 11 is made up of founding members Sir Michael Fay, Sir Richard Hadlee, Jeffrey Crowe, Ian Smith, John Wright, Martin Crowe, John Graham, Judge Mick Brown (typically eccentric, this doesn’t add up to 11). The 12th man is Roger Brittenden. Club member Sir John Hansen KNZM, presented the cheques at the Heathcote Cricket Club on Monday to representatives of the three recipient organisations. A retired high court judge, Sir John is a member of the International Donations: Representatives receiving the cheques were from left Peter Yates, business manager, Aranui High School, Ken Cricket Council Code of Conduct Lomax, president, Heathcote Cricket Club, and Ric Horsfall, deputy chairman Lancaster Park Woolston Cricket Club, with Commission. Sir John Hansen of the Queen Street Cricket Club.

The event has attracted an all-star line-up from throughout the South Island contesting titles at advanced, open intermediate and open novice, along with Eventing Canterbury’s

traditional classes at pre-novice levels training, and pre-training. Former international Annabel Wigley is the sole entry in the advanced level on NRM Enzo looking for one more strong hit-out before heading to a North Island campaign. The open intermediate has amassed seven starters, the highlight being the much anticipated return of the

PART-TIME artist Robert Keeling was so inspired by the Rugby World Cup he painted this picture. Mr Keeling, 39, works for an engineering firm, although he did attend an art college in the UK. He intends making prints of the painting and will donate 10 percent from each sale to Orana Wildlife Park. “It’s because they’ve been struggling since the quake with people not going there as much,” he said.

current national one day eventing champion Brent Jury, from Cust, on SE Big. He will face some stiff competition though from youngster James Avery on Amarillo, who currently holds a commanding lead in the national Massey University Young Rider series. The class also includes last season’s winning New Zealand Young Rider team member Larissa Srhoy on Starburst. Eventing Canterbury last ran the championships as part of its final spring trial in 2004 and they have been held infrequently elsewhere since then with the last occasion being as part of the Wakitipu One Day Horse Trial in 2009. Eventing Canterbury chairman Kevin Bowden said the committee’s goal was to give the event the pride of place on the spring calendar it fully deserved. “We see it as a great opportunity for Eventing Canterbury to get behind the sport. We want this to become a key event on the calendar, and are committed to seeing it grow in stature.”
