Denton Park likely choice for mega facility By Julia Evans DENTON PARK is looking to be the likely home of the new Hornby Library, Service Centre and South West Pool mega facility. During the consultation process, the city council found submitters favoured Kyle Park and Denton Park over Warren Park. Kyle Park had the most support, with 43 per cent of people who submitted to the city council during its consultation Vicki Buck period from April 20 to June 9, favouring it as the preferred site. Denton received five per cent less on 38. But due to the amount of asbestos in the ground at Kyle Park, Denton still seems to be the likely choice. City council staff have recommended the Halswell-HornbyRiccarton Community Board approve the location at its special meeting on Saturday. The board will then take its recommendation to the city council.
POOL AND LIBRARY: Sports clubs using Denton Park and its rooms are concerned the city council is proposing a multimillion dollar recreational complex for the site. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER City councillor Vicki Buck said because the full report isn’t out yet, it is a bit premature to comment. However, she said the heavier you build on a site with asbestos, the more it costs to clear. “It’s a real weakness for that site … the cost of clearing the asbestos would mean a lot less
pools or library space,” Cr Buck said. Building on Kyle Park would mean about a quarter of the budget for the facility would be spent on clearing asbestos, she said. Sports clubs from Denton Park have been against that area being used to build the facility, worry-

ing that they will lose field space. The Hornby Rugby Football Club said in its submission that the club feels strongly about protecting Denton Park. “We value this piece of land and what it means to the sporting people of Hornby … take away Denton Park as it is now
and you will ruin many, many lives in the community,” the submission said. But city council recreation services manager David Bailey said that a combined facility on Denton Park would require 11 per cent of the total park area, and wouldn’t necessarily mean the clubs would need to relocate.

Tuesday August 8 2017 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
WHEN THINGS go wrong in the media game, they can sometimes go very wrong. And, last week we got it very wrong. On page 1 we had a tribute to Trevor Williams, a Hornby rugby league goal-kicking legend during the 60s and 70s. We spoke to Trevor’s family and his former teammate Brian Langton and photos from our archives were sourced. But the wrong head shot was published, and somehow Brian’s went in instead of Trevor’s. I can’t print what I said, but you get my drift. I felt like dishing out a Wayne Wallace coat hanger or two (no offence Waldo, it was a very effective tackle in its day; probably illegal now). So our utmost apologies to Trevor’s family, and Brian Langton. – Barry Clarke

By Andrew King A MAN attempting to rescue a cat from a roof in Woolston ended up needing to be rescued himself – by the Fire Service. Woolston firefighters were called to Randolph St at about 12.45pm last Tuesday after a man used a fence to get on the roof to rescue a stricken feline, but was unable to get down. “We went up on the roof without a ladder,” a fire communications spokesman said. “Lucky he took his phone with him.” Both were rescued unharmed.

Keep hot ash out of your wheelie bins By Mark Thomas - specialist fire investigator IT WAS timely. Evening city crews were called to a house in Sewell St, Linwood, on July 29, where a wheelie bin, close to the house, was found to be on fire. A recent spate of these type of fires in Burnside had resulted in an arrest. Nearly all these incidents are the result of deliberate acts by people who get some form of satisfaction out of arson. So the fire in Linwood appeared to indicate another area of town was in someone’s sights. That was until some questions were asked and it was found that ash from the fireplace had been dumped into the bin on the same day. Don’t ever do this. Ash can stay hot enough for five days to ignite combustibles. It should never be placed in a plastic container.Like a wheelie bin. On July 30, a mother and father in Ilam were disturbed from their lie-in by a fire crew hammering on their door.
DISPOSAL: Ash from your logburner can stay flammable for up to five days.
To their horror, the reason turned out to be one of the kids, up and about before the parents, had placed a prank call on the 111 system. We take these types of incident seriously. We call them malicious false alarms for a start. Our Fire Awareness and Intervention programme were utilised to work with the child so they understand the possible consequences. Because any time a fire truck is responding to such a false alarm they are unavailable for a real emergency that is perhaps happening near them. That has the potential for real tragedy.
Celebrating Rangi’s past Rangi Ruru Girls’ School principal Sandra Hastie writes about tradition and history in the present and future of schooling IN 1889, Charlie Chaplin was born, the Eiffel Tower opened and even though it was still four years before women won the right to vote in New Zealand, Rangi Ruru Girls’ School came into being, in Christchurch. Every year we celebrate Founders’ Day on August 2, the date when the vision of a group of women was realised; a vision to give girls opportunities that, until then, were not readily available to them. Rangi was founded by Miss Helen Gibson, after her father, Captain Frederick Gibson, built a large house with two schoolrooms on the corner of Webb St. It was administered by her and her sisters Mary, Beatrice, Alice, Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred for nearly 60 years. It was made very clear by the sisters that the focus of the school was not to turn the students into young ladies, who would become stay-at-home-mothers, but
rather strong young women with intellect, strength and their own viewpoints. The Gibson sisters were indeed ahead of their time. These years identify the first stirrings of the ‘Independent Woman’. Removed from the traditions of “home,” girls began to demand the privileges of their brothers. They wanted equal opportunities; they wanted university education; they wanted the vote. They achieved all of these things before their sisters in Britain, and frequently against the advice and opinions of their parents. They could see that the liberating force was education. The Gibson sisters all helped
in some way with the running of the school, in fact they all continued with their studies to train to become qualified as teachers and in doing so, demonstrated the importance of knowledge in leadership. Looking through the history of the school, it’s very clear that Rangi wasn’t just about academics, sports, music; the arts and fun also featured which for that time in history and for young women, shows it was indeed ahead of its time. I am sure that if the Gibson sisters were alive today, they would be proud of what has been achieved and we all know that there is still plenty to do. We are stronger for knowing and celebrating our past. Where we have come is an important part of where we are going, and Founder’s Day is a wonderful way to weave the threads of tradition and history into the strong and colourful fabric of our school community. FOUNDERS: Rangi Ruru was run from 1890 by the Gibson sisters (from left) Ethel, Winifred, Lucy and Ruth.

Evie’s historical connection to school By Julia Evans EVIE LAIDLAW is 12 and she doesn’t know a world without mobile phones, Facebook and the internet. But Evie is part of a legacy that dates back to when her school, Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, opened in 1890. Through her father Robert Laidlaw and grandfather John Laidlaw, Evie is a direct descendant of the Gibson family who opened Rangi Ruru in 1890. The school celebrated Founder’s Day on Wednesday. Three generations of the Laidlaw family were at the school to mark the occasion and Evie was asked to light a candle during the service. “It was a really special service for Evie,” said Robert Laidlaw. Captain Frederick Gibson built the school and his daughters Helen, Mary, Beatrice, Alice, Lucy, Ethel, Ruth and Winifred ran the school for nearly 60 years. The Gibson sisters were Evie’s grandfather’s great aunts. But just about every woman on both sides of Evie’s family have worn the Rangi Ruru uniform as students at the school, including her mother Lucy, both grand-

At 12, this is Evie’s first year at the school.

The family pulled out all the stops to get her there. “We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to send her to the school and she knows it’s a privilege,” he said. The entire family is very proud, especially grandfather John who is thrilled his granddaughter will be carrying on the traditions of the past.

Volleyballer off to US St Bede’s final SPORTS shot at playoffs
By Andrew King THREE YEARS ago Tasmyn Fahey hadn’t stepped foot on a volleyball court, but on Thursday she left for Casper, Wyoming, in the United States to start a two-year scholarship playing the sport she now loves. The 19-year-old former Burnside High student will play for Casper College after being accepted earlier this year. But she didn’t always have the same love for the sport that she now has. It took a persistent coach who eventually tricked her into attending a training session to get her interested. “I have always been tall and coach Sam Ryburn really wanted me to give it a go. I wasn’t interested, but he got some of my friends to trick me into coming to training and, from there, I haven’t looked back,” Fahey said. The scholarship pays for everything, including food, accommodation and education. “I am just so excited to play volleyball over there. I didn’t think I would reach this level. I want to travel, play volleyball and get educated, and this allows me to do all three. It is amazing,” she said. Ryburn said it was a huge opportunity for Fahey to get into the top level of one of the biggest sports in the world.
By Andrew King ST BEDE’S College have a chance of making a late bid for a playoff spot if they can beat Middleton Grange tomorrow night and other results go their way. St Bede’s sit in fifth position on the Connetics first XI football competition table but could jump into fourth. However, they would have to rely on bottom of the table Rangiora High getting past fourth placed Cashmere High, or third placed Burnside High losing to ninth placed Riccarton High. If St Andrew’s College losses to Christ’s College at 5.45pm, it could allow St Bede’s to move into the top four. However, a draw would keep St Andrew’s safe from dropping out. Rangiora have only won one game this year and have had 73 goals scored against them, while Burnside have retained the Connetics Shield since round nine. St Andrew’s are currently sitting second after beating Middleton 2-0 last week. St Bede’s beat Rangiora last week 5-2 and are now focused on putting in a good performance

“The junior colleges give you really great exposure and I know she will take every opportunity thrown at her,” he said. She follows other former Burnside High volleyballers, Nicky Pio and Petra Manderson, who are both at junior colleges in Florida. While Fahey has never been to the US, she does have an American connection. Her father was born in Pennsylvania before being adopted by a Kiwi family. Her
mum is from Greymouth. “I am really interested to learn more about the AfricanAmerican culture, which I will be able to do at college,” she said. On top of the study and sport, Fahey said she is really keen to experience all her new home state has to offer. “I am really keen to see Yellowstone Park and, even though I haven’t done much skiing there, I will give it a go,” she laughed.

against Middleton at 5.45pm at the Christchurch Football Centre, where all league games are played this year. Burnside will not want to let the shield go or drop out of the top four in the final round. They take on Riccarton at 4pm. At 7.30pm, Christchurch Boys’ High will be looking to finish with a win against top of the table St Thomas, as will Papanui High when they take on Shirley Boys’ High.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY... BAKED PEARS WITH VANILLA AND BAY LEAF SYRUP Ingredients 4 Pears, packham 4 sheets Puff pastry 2 Tbsp Milk 1 Egg Syrup 1 Vanilla bean 2 Bay leaves ¾ cup Caster sugar ½ cup White wine ½ cup Water 1 Tbsp to serve Cream Directions Preheat the oven to 180 deg C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Peel the pears, leaving on the stalks, then slice a sliver off the bottom of each so they sit flat. Lay one sheet of pastry on a lightly floured bench. Sit a pear in the centre and bring the pastry up around the pear. Trim the excess, then seal to ensure the pear is completely enclosed. Use the excess to make leaf shapes and press onto the
pastry. Whisk the egg and milk together then brush all over the pears. Bake for approximately 25min or until golden. Meanwhile, make the syrup by putting all the ingredients into a saucepan and then bring to a boil. Stir then let it reduce – this should take approximately 20min. Serve the pears hot with the syrup poured over and softly whipped cream on the side. VENISON STEAKS WITH KUMARA AND PARSNIP BAKE

Hydrate to elevate We all know drinking water is important, but the majority of us simply don’t drink enough even though we know it makes us feel great when we do. We look at the benefits and motivate you to drink more with a few tips on how to make it just a little more palatable. With over a quarter of Kiwis consuming less than two glasses of water a day and only 5% drinking more than the recommended eight, the message obviously hasn’t hit home on the importance of hydrating our body. A recent survey conducted by SodaStream found that Cantabrians are particularly guilty when it comes to their water intake. With 82% drinking less than six glasses of water a day, but with over 85% admitting they feel healthier when they drink more water, something needs to be done to bridge the gap in terms of what we know to be true and what we’re actually doing about it. This same survey revealed that although 41% of us limit how many soft drinks we consume due to our concerns over sugar content, the same number of people said tea or coffee is their number one drink of choice.
Some people even believe that the water consumed in their cup of Joe constitutes part of their water intake. This is a fallacy. As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as does alcohol too, it means we need to drink even more water to compensate. Not so surprisingly the reason we don’t drink nearly enough water is that we simply forget. Now with apps you can download direct to your smart phone, there are no more excuses. Further studies proved that people who had a SodaStream machine in their homes were more likely to drink more water. In fact, the study showed that people drank 30% more water. For those of us who aren’t used to drinking water like it’s going out of fashion, there are plenty of ways to increase the fun factor while still being healthy.
After Before
By simply turning tap water into sparkling water with a SodaStream machine and adding a splash of fresh lemon juice or naturally squeezed fruit juice, is bound to have a positive impact on our health and wellbeing.

BOOK TALK: The Friends of Christchurch City Libraries guest speaker at this month’s book talk is Frankie McMillan.

Some characteristics of the flash fiction genre will also be discussed. The talk will be held on Tuesday at 12.30pm.

By the end of the day the total number of casualties, the wounded, the dead and the missing was 2740. This exhibition has been created by the Memorial Museum Passchendaele, with funding and support from the Federal Government of Belgium, and is touring Australian and New Zealand venues in 2017, as part of the centenary activities to commemorate the July to November 1917 Battle of Passchendaele.

It is a school with a strong, Anglican ethos and spiritual heart that uniquely maximises the benefits of coeducational and separate gender education in the one school environment.

Our Board has set a future focussed strategy and we are currently in the exciting phase of developing plans to ensure we anchor a forwardlooking education within the illustrious history of the oldest established independent primary school in New Zealand.
