SARLA DONOVAN
Neighbours close to QE II are angry at a proposal to bury as-bestos saying it will affect their property values.
Resident Keith Mackay has lived next door to QE II for 60 years and is frustrated the Burwood-Pegasus Commu-nity Board has opted to sup-port burying asbestos instead of trucking the material to a landfill.
Mr Mackay said residents in his street are fearful the pres-ence of asbestos, though it will be buried, will still affect property values.
He called it “environmental
vandalism” and said many were concerned with potential health issues.
But the Canterbury District Health Board Medical Officer of Health Alistair Humphrey said he had no concerns with the city council’s plans from a health perspective.
City council recreation and sports unit manager John Filsell said the asbestos would be en-cased in concrete pipes and was not a danger.
“It has not and has never been airborne,” he said.
Last week, the community board recommended to the city council that thousands of tonnes of asbestos-containing material be contained on site rather than sent to the Kate Valley Landfill.
Contaminated material would be moved next to a playing field, creating a grassed em-bankment for spectators.
Mr Mackay said he was also upset that the irrigation system, which was supposed to stop dust blowing from the site, wasn’t being used and covers placed over the piles of rubble
had disintegrated.Mr Filsell said the valves that
shut water on and off have been stolen. He said they will be re-placed this week and the rubble was being hand-watered in the meantime.
Containment was the cheaper of two options the board was pre-sented with, at around $4 million versus close to $9 million.
A report prepared by the city council for the board said removal from the site would in-volve nearly 800 truckloads of rubble being sent to Kate Val-
ley, Hurunui, causing disrup-tion for residents and increased congestion on roads.
The report said while resi-dents might prefer the asbestos to be removed, the cost and disruption would make this an unpalatable option.
Mr Mackay, however, said cost “should not be a consider-ation.”
He believed leaving the contaminated material on-site would limit what the land can be used for.
“We have to think beyond today, to the park’s future use.”
The issue will be voted on at the city council’s first meeting in February.

Burwood-Pegasus Commu-nity Board chairwoman Andrea Cummings had the lowest atten-dance rate for meetings.
Data released by the city council showed Ms Cummings attended 87 per cent of meetings since she was elected, missing six out of 49.
Community board members are paid $25,700 a year while Ms Cummings, as chairwoman receives $38,500.
Ms Cummings said her ab-sence was due to her recovery from a major operation and family illness.
She said the missed meetings had not affected her ability to do her job well.
Ms Cummings told the Pegasus Post she enjoyed the job but was undecided whether she would stand in next year’s elections.
Deputy chairman Tim Baker had the highest attendance, miss-ing a meeting.
He said the Burwood-Pegasus ward had been most affected by earthquake issues, increas-ing board members’ workloads tremendously.
Third-term board member Tim Sintes said the amount of work had trebled since the earthquakes, but there had been a minimal increase in pay.
He said meetings now took 3-4 hours, often involving semi-nars as well as public submis-sions on complex issues.
Mr Sintes said residents see the board as more accessible than the city council and treat it as a forum through which they
can approach the council.City councillor Glenn Liv-
ingstone was the second-best attendee, missing just three meetings, while Linda Stewart, Stan Tawa and David East at-tended 44, missing five.
Meanwhile, city councillor Raf Manji had the worst atten-dance city wide at community board meetings attending about half of the scheduled meetings.
But Fendalton-Waimairi Com-munity Board chairwoman Val Carter defended Cr Manji saying he was involved with helping to solve the city council’s financial woes.
The next local body elections are held in October 2016.

Pegasus Post reveals who has shown up to meetings
Two picnic tables have mysteri-ously disappeared from their usual spot in the New Brighton pedestrian mall.
The tables, relocated from red-zoned homes three years ago, were donated to the New Brighton Project.
They went missing over a week ago and have not been seen since.
New Brighton Project co-ordinator Martha Baxendell said it was frustrating as they had just had an offer to do them up.
She said whoever took the tables would have needed to pull them up and put them on a vehicle.
During the week, mall visi-tors used them for eating and on the weekend they provided a place for groups to eat, drink and mingle.
“We just want them back – no questions asked,” said Ms Baxendell.

Readers respond to city councillor David East’s designs for a proposed New Brighton Pier fishing deck.
Anne Marchant: I prefer my version. Putting 2.1m glazed screens around the end of the pier would shelter that area and make it more of a destination.
A small coffee and ice cream kiosk would be nice too. On wheels, removable at night and in winter; no wrappers or card-board cups allowed and a porta-loo could be considered too.
The screen would make fishing from that part of the pier impos-sible, so the fishers would have to move shoreward.
The fact that the increased number of people walking to the end of the pier would have to walk past the fishers, could im-prove fishing behaviour – where-as having the fishers at a lower level, where they could make as much mess and stink as they like, could make things worse.
Also, are you sure the differ-ence of levels on the published design is enough – looks like a metre or less?
Walter J Roy, of Parklands: Love the idea with the fishing deck, as shown in the Pegasus Post.
Ron and Ruth Roberts: Yes it will work . However, I am very disappointed that it has taken so long for someone to offer “a so-lution”, which my wife and I had already suggested back in 1994.
We went to the United King-dom for a holiday and while there took various photos of several piers showing a fishing platform below the pedestrian walkway.
We also purchased a large box of “New Brighton rock” to help with the fundraising. The photos and rock were supplied to a member of the committee. Unfortunately I do not
remember who.Once again fundraising will be
essential. Good Luck.
Murray Howell: I like the idea of a fishing lower deck if it is cost effective. The immediate problem I see is that fishers will continue to cast their rods out. To do this, the line with the weight on will be taken onto the top deck for leverage, endangering anyone standing up there. To solve this problem some sort of cantilevered roof off the top deck would need to be fitted as well. This would also solve an-other problem of people continu-ing to fish off the top deck over those on the lower fishing deck.
A side benefit with a roof is protection for the fishers and eliminates most of the eyesore of mess some of these people are leaving.
The wooden handrail damage problem can be easily fixed by putting a complete stainless steel capping over it in the fishing area. This suggestion would be a frac-tion of the cost of a lower deck.
Martin Harris: Regarding the New Brighton Pier fishing deck concept design. I think this a logical, sensible and rather clever solution to an ongoing problem.
With the fishers physically separated from the viewers, everyone gets to enjoy the pier without inconveniences, and my youngsters can still see what the anglers are catching.
I hope this idea is brought to fruition.
Melanie Dennis: I read in disbelief at again the stupidity of the city council, with another lame idea, to waste ratepayers’ money. The concept to add a fishing deck is utterly ludicrous, the expense and pandering to the fishermen who have ruined the pier is just a dumb waste of money.
How about the city council fix the roads and the bridges first in Brighton and surrounding environs.
The cheapest , quickest solu-tion, to which the majority would agree, is to ban fishing off the pier all together.
Local hero award winner and Mairehau resident Reverend Mike Coleman
Here’s my thoughts from 15min of inves-tigative journalism Googling articles from local papers over the last years.
Government press release 2012, “the recovery of Canter-bury is on track and is starting to hit its stride”.
Last week, “Christchurch’s once-bold central city recovery plan is hanging in the balance with Treasury saying it now ap-pears unachievable.”
Same article stated the Government is still looking for private investment into major anchor projects.
This after five years.June 2015 the Canterbury
Development Corporation says the Government will have an $11 billion tax take from our unfortunate recovery.
One councillor stated: “I think in the long run the Crown will come out on top fiscally and we’ll be the ones left with the debt.”
The Government accounts at the end of 2014 showed only $2 billion has actually been spent on Canterbury’s recovery.
In February 2013, one paper states: “New Zealand’s build-ing industry will boom in the next five years with work worth about $46 billion driven by the Christchurch recovery.”
The Canterbury earthquake recovery has poured enormous dollars into our economy.
Contrary to what we were told we have not put a strain on taxpayers in this country, it’s the absolute opposite.
We have enabled our country to become stable and in relative terms we have used very little money from the tax coffers.
All we could ask for then, is a Government to fully back us.
It was never unfair of us to ask for significant contributions to our recovery.
The blueprint was forced upon Cantabrians by the Government including anchor projects that will financially set this city back for decades.
In February 2015 our coun-cil’s long-term plan states our rates will increase 33 per cent over the next four years.
Our Earthquake Minister
berated our city council for rate increases.
In the end our city council had no choice but to put it back onto ratepayers.
We ratepayers can’t afford the Government’s wish list of $500 million of convention centres and stadiums.
We were then told to sell financially viable assets.
I have for many years ques-tioned the full commitment of our Government to our recov-ery.
Yes, they have put money in, yes, our infrastructure is being fixed, yes, there is some move-ment in the inner city but there is not the full flow of energy and commitment we needed to get our city sorted.
There is no question for me that budget surplus was more important than ensuring real recovery was happening.
I don’t believe we have had sufficient financial backing but even worse for the last five years, our papers have been inundated with Cantabrians bat-tling EQC.
The Government has sat back and allowed EQC to crucify our people.
Add this to the reviews that have shown thousands of repairs are substandard. In the meantime, more than $300 million of EQC money was handed back to the Government to bring their books into surplus.
It was sad to see therefore, on October 23, our recovery will continue to be led from the Beehive, a minister-led future for Christchurch through to 2021.
Views on the rebuild so far
SOAP BOX
The city council responds to Emma Jamieson’s soapbox on the QEII replacement December 7.
On the question why did the 35m pool disappear, the city council said:
“No pool disappeared from the scope. The additional 35m or 50m pool was not included in the scope by the city council
in March 2015. The Burwood-Pegasus Community Board asked the city council to recon-firm this and it did so in June 2015.”
On the question regarding the lack of transparency regarding the scoping report done by con-sultants the city council said:
“The city council has em-ployed consultants to advise on
many aspects of the project, as this is standard practice. The scoping study was made public at the February 16 community board meeting and published on the city council’s website.
The only information withheld has been information on the cost of facility components that is commercially sensitive.”

The other side of street art
Hello! Before we even start the first thing I’d like to know is what is your real name?
Nick Tam, basically Ikarus is just the name I write. I do a lot of traditional font-based graffiti and that’s just what I write.
Great name. The Spectrum festival is in full swing at the moment. How have you pre-pared for it?
Myself and two other artists Wongi Wilson and Jacob Yikes worked on one of the rooms at the YMCA and transformed a empty squash court into an abandoned factory warehouse type area. We had a bunch of walls built and artificially aged everything, and built different rooms then paint-ed a graffiti style in it. The room it leads into has been set up as a nature-forest type scene.
You are quite prolific with your work. Are you excited about the Spectrum festival.
Yes, definitely. There is a good attitude towards graffiti especially since the earthquakes. A lot of people are more accepting of it because they see what a positive impact it has on a space now.
Yes, because I was going to ask you what effect the earth-quakes have had on street art. I believe it is quite positive.
Yes, definitely. Obviously as an artist myself we’ve always seen it from that view. A lot of the places we paint do tend to be run down – not that fancy space in the first place so I’ve always seen it as a place that makes ar-eas better. But I guess with how much destruction, demolition and rebuilding that has been go-ing on, there is a lot of areas that everyone was getting sick of see-ing. They can now see the differ-ence a bunch of bright colours and pictures make.
What do you think about the negative connotations associ-ated to street art?
It’s a fine line between being understandable and ignorance. It depends on what level of interac-tion people have had with street art. If someone’s only experience with graffiti is that they have had property of their’s tagged then you can understand the negativ-ity. But people just seem to be afraid of any work that comes out of a spray can. There is just a negative connotation to a spray can. So if it is that sort of thing then I find it kind of ridiculous. It doesn’t seem to happen much anymore but in the past someone might have said: “I’d rather just see a blank wall – I don’t under-stand why this is better than the
other side of it’’. Do you think Christchurch
could be becoming almost like the street art hub of New Zea-land?
Absolutely. There are plans to definitely make that the case if not of the Southern Hemisphere or the world. People are trying to do ground-breaking things. Even all the shows that have happened in the past three years have been up there.
On a more personal level, what has your most proudest achievement been?
Being in the two Spectrum show in the past couple of years have been pretty good. The origi-nal show George Shaw and his team put on called the RISE fes-tival at the Canterbury Museum was right up there because I never thought I’d get to paint and exhibit art in a museum. I didn’t even think Canterbury Museum would necessarily want to be in-volved with graffiti.
They were a bit hesitant about it but it turned out positive for everyone. All of their attendance records they previously had lifted.
What’s the most interesting place you have ever spray-painted?
Sometimes we’ve done large walls where you are painting on a scissor lift 8m in the air. But in my younger days, before I was doing legal work, I painted a bunch of roof tops, abandoned buildings and train yards – quite interesting.
And no one worried at all?Oh I mean, yeah. It just was
what it was. You do these sort of things when you are young.
When you were in school were you always getting in trouble for drawing or have you always been interested in art?
No, not at all actually. I got in-volved in art strictly through the vandalism side of graffiti. I was a tagger kid when I was young. Tagging was the only thing I was ever better at than other people so you know small amounts of positive reinforcements eventu-ally did wonders.
When was the turning point?I got too old to be doing what
I consider tagging and started developing towards what I am today. A few of my friends were painting so we just kept pushing each other and it just sort of or-ganically happened. Something negative turned into something positive. I run a bunch of work-shops with different youth organ-isations or alternative education schools. A lot of that is where I get to work with kids that are not necessarily doing the best.
Where did you grow up?I’ve moved around a lot as a
kid but I have lived in Linwood the most from the time I was 14 up until two or three years ago. Definitely in Linwood that was where I got into graffiti and the art side of it.
When did you get into art?When I was about 20. Any in-
terest I have in art , any mentor-ing tutor lessons I have – all of it comes 100 per cent from van-dalism. I just wanted to vandalise stuff until I got to the point where I thought I was screwing up my
life. If you are going to screw it up, do it better. I remember think-ing I may need to stop because I might end up going to jail.
Have there been any risks where you might have ended up going to jail?
Yes, because I have been caught a few times and been through the courts a few times. My first and second ones were about four months apart. So they are not going to keep letting you commit the same crime even if it’s petty. They’ll just say “you are clearly not learning your les-son – if we catch you again you are going to jail’’.
Any projects planned after Spectrum?
There are a couple of things coming up but not decided yet. I have a couple of groups inter-ested in workshops. I would like to do a group show or exhibition just between Jacob, Wongi and myself sometime soon. Some-where central and not too big.
Well I think that sums up everything. All the best for the future.
The attitude towards street art has changed immensely for the better since the earthquakes. Georgia O’Connor-Harding speaks to one of the city’s most upcoming street artist – Ikarus about his involvement in the Spectrum Art Festival on how his work evolved from vandalism into professionalism

SOIL AND
HARDFILLDUMPING
EMMA-JANE MCLENNAN
Almost eighty years ago, a young Edna Noble was told by her mother that she couldn’t marry her sweetheart.
She refused to obey her mother, and now 73 years later, she and that sweetheart - Gilbert Kessel- are still married.
On Tuesday the couple, who live in a Halswell retirement home, celebrated their anniver-sary.
Edna said not even curfew during the war years could sepa-rate the couple.
“Isn’t it wonderful? We were really in love. We wouldn’t be without each other you know – even when the war was on and
they said you’re not supposed to be out on the streets at a certain time of night, he’d still come down on his bike [to see me],” Edna Kessel said.
The two met in the early 1940s, at a dance school close to Cathedral Square.
The future Mrs Kessel had been going to classes with a girl-friend there, when she met Mr Kessel on the dance floor.
In a Cinderella-type move – she had to leave him at 11pm to catch the tram home.
“I looked ‘round and my girlfriend was going . . . so I had to leave him in the middle of the room. I was worried after that, that I might never see him again.”
But at the very next dance, Mr Kessel
was there. It was love at first
sight for the two of them – but it was going to be two
years before
they could get married.
First Mr Kes-sel was sent off to
war, and sent back shortly after because of hearing damage he sustained while working with fighter planes.
He was one of the only ones from his squadron to survive, Mrs Kessel said: “I was lucky to get him back.”
Next came her mother – adamant she should give up Mr Kessel for the “nice boy down the road.”
“I said no to that, but I had to wait until I was 21 to get mar-
ried,” Mrs Kessel said.The two bought a nice home
on Cashmere hill a few years later, and brought up three chil-dren there.
They later moved into a retire-ment village.
While Mr Kessel’s health is deteriorating, his wife is con-stantly by his side: “He can’t always hear what I’m saying, but I pat his hand and say to him ‘alright poppa.’ He seems to get the message.”
80 years on and still in love
STILL IN LOVE: Gilbert and Edna Kessel celebrated 73 years of marriage this week. Left: The couple’s wedding photo in 1942.
After a year, Pages Rd has been restored to two-way traffic.
Earthquake repairs to the dam-aged wastewater system saw the road reduced to one-way traffic.
It’s been a long year for New Brighton residents who have had to take lengthy detours to get home.
Christchurch East MP Poto Williams said it would be great for businesses and residents to have the main road into New Brighton fully operational in time for the holiday season.
“Locals and commuters will be really happy to have this main route open again and I want to express a special word of thanks for your patience throughout the road diversions,” she said.
Aranui Community Trust general manager Rachael Fonotia welcomed the news.
“They are going to be jumping over the moon that it is open,” she said.
A large part of Pages Road was restricted to one-way traffic in January this year so the Stron-ger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team could complete laying seven new wastewater pipes under Pages Road.

EQC AND THE SIX-YEARCLAIM LIMITATION PERIOD.
EQC’s position is that it does not consider the six-year limitation period runs from the date of each Canterbury earthquake. So for example, there is no 4 September 2016 deadline to bring Court proceedings challenging an EQC claim settlement for damage caused by the 4 September 2010 earthquake.
However, time limits can apply to bringing Court proceedings challenging EQC claims settlements at some point after 4 September 2016. Under the Limitation Act 1950 and the Limitation Act 2010, EQC expects that, generally speaking:
• where an EQC claim has already been settled, the six-year time limit for bringing Court proceedings will run from the date EQC settled that claim;
• where an EQC claim has not already been settled, the six-year time limit for bringing Court proceedings will start running when EQC settles that claim; or
• where a claim is declined, the six-year limitation periodwill run from the date that EQC declines the claim.
Seek the view of your private insurer if appropriate
• EQC’s position refers only to claims brought under the EQC Act.
• how limitation legislation applies to policies provided by private insurers (which are not covered by the EQC Act) may differ and people should talk with their private insurer and potentially their lawyer about their individual claims.
EQC customers may still seek a review
• the limitation legislation applies to Court proceedings and not to EQC’s review of their settlement.
• if customers become aware of new information relevant to their claim, they can provide this to EQC for review.
The limitation legislation is technical and EQC’s general view does not constitute legal advice so customers should seek their own advice about how it applies specifically to their own claim(s).
There has been a lot of commentary recently aboutthe length of time EQC customers have to challengea settlement for a claim made under the EQC Act.

Parklands resident Craig Sav-age has won his age group at the Ironman Taupo 70.3.
The race required athletes to complete a 1.9km swim, 90km bicycle ride and a 21.1km run to the finish line.
Savage competed in the 18-24 age group, and came out of the water leg in front, in a time of 25min 50sec.
Savage finished in an overall time of 4hr 10min, a full 5min ahead of Jason Hall, in second place.
With limited preparation heading into the race, Savage said going in he had no expec-tations.
“I didn’t have a game plan since I went into the race not very fit, but I was a good sur-prise it all came together well on the day,” he said.
Savage said he really enjoyed the Taupo course, in particular the bicycle leg.
“There was a few good hills to break things up. I find
cycling is my strength and in a distance like a half ironman I can
play to that as opposed to a short course where it is draft legal and you don’t really get the benefit of being a strong cyclist,” he said.
Savage also beat Shirley resident Sam Elstob who was racing in the same age group but finished in sixth place.
Elstob was disappointed with his performance but it was a realistic finish with the training hours he had put in prior to the race.
Next up for both Savage and Elstob will likely be the Wa-naka Half Ironman as part of the Challenge Wanaka festival in February.

The big fella is gearing up for a big Christmas Eve present delivery but he had time for a quick visit to New Brighton. The streets around New Brighton were packed for the annual Santa Parade with more than 40 floats on display. Santa arrived by his traditional method, on the surf life savings boat at 10.15am. New Brighton is the only suburb in Christchurch with its own Santa Parade. New Brighton Project co-ordinator Martha Baxendell said it reflected the way the suburb saw itself as “its own city.” PHOTOS: RAEWYN MURRAY

Christmas is a time for celebration, spending time with friends and family and enjoying festive foods and drinks. Nutrition-wise, this
festive fare can be a challenge.Here are some simple tips to help you
survive the festivities:• Don’t try to lose weight over the festive
season. With parties, families and all the special foods that go with Christmas, it’s going to be just about impossible! Your main aim should be to maintain your weight (using some of the tips below!)
• Eat regular meals. If you skip meals you are more likely to fill up on high fat snacks. It only takes a few of these snacks to add up to more calories than your usual meal.
• Avoid going to a function hungry, you can easily eat a lot of party food in a short time.
Have a small snack beforehand like a bowl of cereal, yoghurt or a sandwich are quick and will help fill you up. It will also help if you are well hydrated, so try drinking a few glasses of water before you arrive.
• Deep fried foods, crumbed and battered foods, cheese platter and nuts are all high in fat. Choose fruit, vegetable or bread based snacks.
• If you are hosting the party, offer your guests a range of healthy snacks. Always popular are hummus or salsa dips with vegetable sticks.
• If you are taking a plate, make yours a healthy option. How about a platter of fruit currently in season?
• Listen to your body and stop eating when you feel full.
• Just say ‘No” to food – mentally practice
Festive Season Survival Tips
strategies to decline food offers. For example: “It looks amazing but I am full” or “I tried it and it was great”.
• Chat and mingle. If you are bored at a party you’re more likely to hover around the food table or seek out the serving platter. A good conversation can distract you from the food. Avoid standing right beside the food table or bar while you’re talking.
• Consider your drinks, they can add to the calorie count very quickly. Try diluting your alcoholic drinks, such as a spritzer (½ wine, ½ soda). If you prefer spirits, try a diet mixer. Lite beers are lower in calories and alcohol. Remember soft drinks, juices, punches, tonic water and flavoured mineral water can all have similar calories to alcoholic drinks.•Be aware of how much you are actually
drinking. Alternate alcoholic drinks with glasses of water and non-alcoholic choices. • Keep Active. Join in the Christmas backyard cricket game or go for a walk with friends or relatives. Remember you’re aiming for 30 minutes of physical activity each day. • If your regular exercise class stops over the Christmas break, plan other types of exercise - organise your friends and put a date in your diary.
If you do really overdo the festive foods or drinks, take a deep breath and start the next day afresh with healthy foods and some exercise. No fasting - just sensible eating. Remember, a few parties don’t make you overweight, it’s what you do all the other days of the year which count.
Be aware of how much you are actually drinking
Healthy snacks are always popular

Quality architecture...beautifully appointed 8 Birchgrove Gardens, MairehauAuction: Thursday, Jan 28, at 10am (471 Papanui Rd, unless sold prior)3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | Listing #: PI39884
In my opinion, this is one of the best-kept secrets of Shirley – located down a private drive where you can be assured of privacy and quietness.
The home was the winner of a gold award in the 2012 Master Builders House of the Year Awards for excellence in workmanship, creativity and innovation by Mike Greer Homes. It is constructed of lightweight concrete, and features a very cool and funky mono-pitch roof design.
Quality exudes from this house with tiled bathrooms, granite bench in the kitchen with a great butler’s pantry and large open plan living flowing into a private courtyard, and landscaped garden area.
This is definitely no drive-by as viewing is sure to impress. My owners have purchased their next home and make no mistake this will be sold!
Sited on a TC2 freehold section of 589m2, and designed with the desire and love for entertaining, both indoor and outdoor, this will be a house not to just enjoy but one to truly love!
For a private viewing, contact Cameron Bailey of Harcourts Gold Papanui (Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on 352 6166 or mobile 027 555 7079.
