Camera trial deters
sex worker clients
NEW TECHNOLOGY: The temporary
camera which has been installed to deter
undesirable behaviour in St Albans.

ANDREW KING
A security camera has been
installed in St Albans to deter
clients visiting sex workers.
The city council initiative
comes after years of residents
complaining about prostitutes
working in the area.
The city council installed the
temporary camera on the corner
of Manchester and Purchas
Sts last week to deter clients
seeking prostitute services. It is
hoped that the prostitutes will
head back into the city centre.
The camera has been loaned
to the city council from security
camera company ATF for a
two-week free trial. Normally
they are $40 per day to rent.
At the end of the trial the city
council will liaise with police
and the residents to see if it
will keep the camera operational.
It has some of the most sophisticated
technology in the
world with facial recognition,
number plate reading capabilities
and advanced night vision.
St Albans resident Matt Bonis
has been living in the area
KEEPING AN EYE: The camera has some of the best night vision currently available in the world.
since 2009 and said 48 hours
after the camera was installed,
he slept with his windows open
for the first time in years.
“There have been a lot less
clients around since it went
up so the girls are just moving
on . . . it is great not having a
price list screamed across the
street,” he said.
In the past he said they had
found needles, neighbours had
items stolen and sometimes
they would find people having
sex in their properties.
“I have been threatened by
pimps, prostitutes and their clients
. . . we just want our kids
to sleep in a safe, quiet neighbourhood,”
Mr Bonis said.
City councillor Ali Jones
(above) said the issue is not
with prostitution itself, it is the
noise, damage and rubbish that
is left behind in a residential
area.
“If we can get them to move
back into the city centre it will
make both parties happier,”
she said.
Cr Jones said she had been
working closely with the New
Zealand Prostitutes Collective
to relocate the girls.
Acting Sergeant Nic Adcock
said while the camera is mainly
a city council initiative, police
will be looking carefully at
any footage they are provided
and act if any criminal activity
takes place.

Theatre for St Albans?
ANDREW KING
The St Albans Community
Centre will not have a pool
included in its design but could
get a theatre.
The new community centre,
earmarked for Colombo St in
2017, is in the design process
which will be put out for public
consultation on May 27.
Shirley-Papanui Community
Board chairman Mike Davidson
is on the working party and said
there will be no pool at the new
centre.
“The Edgeware pool group
will take up that slack. It would
have been great to have them
co-existing on the same site, but
we don’t have the room to do
both,” he said.
St Albans Pavilion and
Pool Incorporated were sold
the Edgeware Pool site, at
43 Edgeware Rd, for $1 in
February.
It plans to build a 25m
outdoor pool and a smaller
covered learners pool.
The site is less than 250m
from the St Albans centre and
will cater for the community’s
aquatic needs.
Mr Davidson said even if
fellow board member Pauline
Cotter’s request for the city
council to buy land at 130
Caledonian Rd went ahead there
still wouldn’t be enough room.
“We need to consider parking
and the other amenities the
community wants. Also the
zoning would be very hard
to get around to put a pool in
there,” he said.
While the pool is off the
table there has been talk about
a theatre being included in the
design.
“A movie theatre, like the
one that used to be on the new
SuperValue site in Edgeware,
has been discussed,” Mr
Emma Twaddell Mike Davidson
Davidson said.
St Albans Residents
Association co-chairwoman
Emma Twaddell said the idea of
a theatre is exciting.
“It would be more of an
art house theatre, like the

town. I am all for spaces that
can be used for several different
things so if it could be used for
productions as well that would
be great,” she said.
She said while the new
centre is built they will have to
relocate off-site.
“We are having a meeting on
Wednesday with the city council
to decide were to go while the
new centre is built,” she said.

Raewyn Saunders
Sense of community goal for
Fendalton Open-air School’s new principal
Raewyn Saunders has a passion for good,
strong community roots and believes it is the
secret to creating a thriving school culture. She
speaks to Andrew King
Hi Raewyn. Tell us how
you view the school you’re
stepping into?
Well I think it is a well
functioning school. It is facing
the same challenges that many
other schools in the city face. I
am really excited and looking
forward to getting into the job
and tackling some of those challenges
head on.
What are your goals for the
school?
I would love it to have the
real sense of community. I am
not saying that it doesn’t have
that now, just I will be looking
to continue that when I come
in. I want it to be a welcoming
and friendly environment that
makes it easy for kids to come in
and learn. The school is exploding
with diversity and we need
to cater to that. I think it is a
school with a wonderful history,
and valuing its past will help us
influence the future.
You must have taught in
a few different places over
your career?
I have moved around a bit. I
have taught in a real variety of
different schools from rural,
large city and private schools. I
have taught in Fairlie, Geraldine
and Palmerston North, I have
even done a small stint in Jakarta.
Wow, tell me about Jakarta?
We went over as a family. I
applied for a teaching job at
the Jakarta British International
School, which taught under
the British curriculum. I had
a class of 24 students and
within that 24 there were 14
different nationalities. It was an
incredible experience working
with so many different and
unique students. Having a
diverse career like this has really
influenced who I am as a person
and I think made me more well
rounded.
What did you teach before
becoming a principal?
Well being in primary school
you teach a bit of everything.
One of my main passions is
special education. That has
given me another side as a
teacher. It has been wonderful
learning more about how people
with disabilities learn and it has
enriched the way I can support
incoming students with learning
disabilities into the school.
Was it your aspiration to be
a principal?
I didn’t initially aspire to be
a principal but I have aspired to
be involved with schools that
build a positive and inclusive
environment for its students.
I like being around kids that

are eager to learn and part of
that is about school culture.
You sometimes hear adults say
“I hated school” and that is
something I want to try to avoid
with kids coming through school
now.

new principal
I feel that school should be the
foundation that starts you wanting
to be a learner for life.
How do you build that
school culture, I would imagine
working with the parents is
crucial?
Relationships with
families, students and the
wider community network is
paramount. We are a people
industry and how we develop
things with parents is key to
getting kids to want to learn.
With their help we can influence
young people to question and
inquire about the world around
them.
When did you decide you
wanted to be in education?
If you ask my mother she will
tell you I used to play schools
when I was a little girl so I think
I have always wanted to teach. I
didn’t get into it because I didn’t
know what I wanted to do, I
knew I wanted to be a teacher.
The beauty about teaching in
different environments means
there has always been a different
challenge to take on or different
direction I can take where no
two days are the same. I love my
job and I like making a difference
in kids’ lives which is the
most rewarding aspect of it.
Where did you go to school?
FIRST DAY: Getting to know the school and pupils.
I went to Riccarton High
School.
What does a teacher do to
unwind?
I am a runner. I am into
cycling and I think it is
important to have some degree
of physical fitness. My family
and friends play a big part of
who I am. Wherever I have been
in my life I have made friends
and retained most of them.
What is your favourite subject
to teach?
Well in primary schools we
call it literacy – reading and the
written language. I have probably
included a bit of that in
everything I have taught over the
years which makes sense, you
teach to your strengths. When I
was
at school I loved learning about
geography and social sciences.
I have been really passionate
supporting the dyslexic learners
and how they can be reached
through different teaching
methods. It is all about playing
to your strengths, once you find
what a kid is good at use it to
encourage further learning.
Main North Rd
traffic volume
expected to ease
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Motorists driving into the
city along Main North Rd
are likely to have an easier
run with roadworks nearly
completed.
The city council’s Transport
Unit Quarterly Report
for March showed
there had been 1500
more vehicles travelling
along Main North
Rd daily.
Christchurch
Transport Operations
Centre manager
Ryan Cooney said the
roadworks on Prestons
Rd were the likely cause of
the increase in vehicles using
Main North Rd.
“That was changing the
roads that people were using
in the area.”
He said commuters coming
into the city from Kaiapoi
were likely using Main North
Rd instead of Marshland
and Prestons Rds while the
repairs were taking place.
Ryan Cooney
With the roadworks nearly
completed, he expected
traffic volumes to return to
normal.
A city council
spokeswoman said Orion had
been laying electrical cables
along Prestons Rd, from
Main North Rd, to Landfill
Ave, since October.
Both are expected to
be finished at the end
of this month, she said.
Works were also
being carried out,
between Marshland
Rd and Landfill Ave,
to upgrade services
and road for Prestons
Subdivision.
They are expected to be
completed in the third quarter
of this year, between July and
September, she said.
Mr Cooney said the extra
1500 vehicles travelling
along Main North Rd daily
would have been noticeable
to motorists, however, the
route is busy at peak times
anyway.

SOLID AUCTION RESULTS
Auctions continue to be the preferred way to sell and our gold
auction rooms have been standing room only this past week.
One of my auctions had over 60 potential purchasers through
their three week campaign with around 20 bidders there on the
day to achieve a price that exceeded our owners’ expectations.
Any agent can do an auction, but not every agent can create a
successful auction platform to reach a market premium through
open and transparent competition in the rooms – this is the key
to a great auction result.
We still have several qualified buyers looking for properties,
so give me a call if you are thinking of selling as we might
already have the perfect buyer on our books!

Children and families took to
the catwalk last week to raise
money for Ronald McDonald
House.
More than $30,000 was

$30,000 raised at fashion show
from around the north-west area
as well as from Greymouth,
Fairlie and Auckland who have
stayed at Ronald McDonald
House modelled in the show.
M Factor Events owner Maree
Harris said it was a fantastic
night with a positive vibe.
“Great energy especially with
all the children involved,” she
said.
It was Ms Harris’ seventh
fashion show she had organised
for Ronald McDonald House after
her two twin nieces stayed at
the house for two months when
they were born prematurely.
Well-known rugby players
Wyatt Crockett, Robbie Fruen,
Mitchell Drummond and Andy
Ellis made an appearance at the
event to support the not-forprofit
organisation.
Along with the rugby celebrities,
dancers from Xtreme Rhythm
Dance School of Rangiora and Elmwood
Normal School performed
for the large audience.
CAR, BICYCLE COLLIDE
A woman was taken to
Christchurch Hospital with
moderate injuries after colliding
with a car on her bicycle in
Bishopdale. St John sent an
ambulance to the scene on
Highsted Rd around 3pm last
Tuesday.
CAR UPSIDE DOWN
A man was taken to
Christchurch Hospital on
Wednesday with moderate
injuries after he flipped his
car onto its roof on Harewood
Rd. The car flipped after he
hit a traffic island and blocked
northbound traffic for about
30min. The crash was at the
intersection of Harewood and
Waimakariri Rds in Harewood.
REPAIR WORK STARTING
Delays are expected along
Edward Ave and Allard St
for the next two weeks while
SCIRT repairs sections of
wastewater pipes. The first
stage of wastewater pipe repairs
will be in Edward Ave with
the second and third stages on
Allard St. Two-way traffic will
be maintained, by way of a giveway
system.
BREAST CANCER CAMPAIGN
Customers visiting their local
Robert Harris café throughout
May can order off the menu
and 10 per cent of their meal
purchase will be donated to the
New Zealand Breast Cancer
Foundation’s Pink Ribbon
Appeal. The
company is aiming to raise
$100,000 by the end of the
campaign.
PANTHERS, WARRIORS VISIT
BEFORE GAME
The Penrith Panthers and
Warriors will visit schools in
the north-west area this week
ahead of their match on May
14, at AMI Stadium. The
Panthers will be at Redwood
School, Paparoa Street School at
11.45am and Elmwood Normal
School, Breens Intermediate and
Bishopdale School on Thursday.
The Warriors will be at St
Patrick’s School at 11.30am on
Thursday.
YOUTH FUNDING
The Fendalton-Waimairi

Christchurch Girls’ High
School will get a new arts
faculty building as part of a
$27 million development.
Construction is set to begin
with the arts faculty expecting
to be competed by April-May
next year.
The new facility will
include a 275 seated theatre,
drama studios, a music room,
individual and small ensemble
practice rooms, arts, design
and photography studios and a
school administration.
As well as
the new arts
building the
school will see
a significant
redevelopment
of the main
four-storey block, gymnasium
and other classroom blocks.
Principal Pauline Duthie
(above) said the centre will
provide staff and students
with state-of-the-art facilities
they deserve to explore and
develop their skills.
“The arts are a significant
part of school life. Lack of access
to suitable on-site venues
have limited students’ ability
PLANS: The design for Christchurch Girls’ High School art faculty building.
to offer public performance,”
she said.
The school has been without
a purpose-built facility for the
arts after the September 2010
earthquake destroyed the its old
auditorium and music rooms.
The new arts building will
be built on the old auditorium’s
site at the corner of
Matai St East and Deans Ave.
Ms Duthie said the new
building will help provide a
boost for the arts in the community
with a more intimate
venue for the community than
what may be available.
“We are very much looking
forward to producing a show
and holding recitals in the new
theatre,” she said.
Last week the Riccarton-
Wigram Community Board
was updated by the Ministry
of Education on the school’s
rebuild progress.

A solid choice for smart buyers
2/57 Withells Rd, Avonhead
Auction: May 19, 2016
3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 1 dining room | 1 living room | 2 car-garage | Listing #: PI42934
Invest your hard-earned money with
confidence: this townhouse ticks all the
boxes for great real estate. Start with the
security of permanent materials – clad in
timeless brick with aluminium joinery, this is a
home that will retain its classic good looks with
the minimum of maintenance.
Add in good proportions that will suit many
– three light, bright bedrooms (master with en
suite bathroom) and a separate lounge adjacent
to the open-plan kitchen and dining area will
appeal to families, couples or investors. An
aspect that ensures the home soaks up sunlight
throughout the day and an easy flow from
indoor living spaces to the sunny and secure
garden will keep entertainers, children and pets
equally happy. The convenience of a double
internal-access garage plus additional off-street
parking adds further practical appeal.
A very sought-after location underpins the
value of this investment: handy to schools and
shops, family-friendly and standing on solid
TC1 land. Presented in immaculate condition,
this is a home you can move straight into or
rent out from day one, but astute buyers will
realise there is plenty of potential here for those
wanting to enhance the property and further
capitalise on their investment.
The vendors have already purchased their
next property so 2/57 Withells Road is very
definitely for sale on or before auction day.

The article headed Funerals

impression of the good work
that is being done by the New

No funerals have in fact been
cancelled at the church since

a poem about

It’s time to say goodbye to our

A place to drop off your plastic

The shop where friendships
have grown.
The contracting team has
done its best to communicate
with church members and has
stopped all noisy work when a
funeral is in progress or for the
burial of ashes.
Crews have also helped
stabilise some gravestones
which had tipped over after the
earthquakes so that construction

Said the Vicar of St James

complete roadworks in time for
the Dawn Service.”

MARK THOMAS – FIRE
RISK MANAGEMENT
OFFICER
Only about 30 per cent of the
calls we attend now actually
involve fires. The other 70 per
cent includes false alarms, car
crashes, hazardous substance
incidents and medical
emergencies where we provide
manpower with first aid skill
to back up the experts from St
John.
Some of our work does not
neatly fit into any of the normal
categories. An elderly caller last
Thursday had knocked a cushion
that had fallen down the side
of her hot water cylinder. She
wondered if it was a fire risk. It
probably wasn’t. But St Albans
Red Watch crew went to her
house and retrieved the cushion
which almost certainly saved her
days and nights of worry.
We also saw the Wainoni crew
travelling to Collingwood St in
New Brighton the same day to a
child who had managed to trap
their leg in a gate. All the efforts
of the locals were to no avail. A
tool known as a hooligan bar,
a kind of short crowbar, was
utilised by the crew to bend the
railings enough to release the

trapped leg.
There were a couple of
potentially serious fires in the
week. Both were of a suspicious
nature. A camper van at the back
of a vehicle dealer in St Asaph
St was set alight and destroyed
recently and on Wednesday
night, fireworks were apparently
utilised to ignite a fire on the
Port Hills that was visible across
the city.
I’m sure police would
appreciate any information
that might identify either set of
culprits.

LOCAL
Schools
SCHOOL PRIDE: Three Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students have
taking inspiration from New Zealand artist Flox and decided they
will brighten up the school with paintings of native birds, ferns and
flowers. Eve Weston, Imogen Park and Georgia Moynihan spent
Friday painting dull objects around the school to give them some life.
“I live and paint in a beautiful
rural Bay on Banks Peninsula,
surrounded by the ruggedness of
the landscape and the constant
and ever changing rhythm of the
sea.
Change is constant, something you
can either embrace or ignore. Either
way, change challenges us all.
This exhibition is entitled ‘Tipping
Point’, inspired by that point of
change that drives us all, to try
new things and to let others go, to
change the way we think and act.
My paintings express this
excitement, the doubt and
apprehension that change forces
on us all, urging me to try new
things and to let others go.
In ‘Mad as a March Hare’, we have
a lady suspended, her thoughts in
the cloud, searching to find where
her next step in life in will take her,
while below normality exists.
For the Hare, March means
madness, no fear, a month of
change and a new era begins and
the excitement of the unknown.
Hitting the right note
Wairakei School’s Indiana Williamson has
been selected in the Christchurch Boys’
Choir. Principal Shane Buckner said he was
thrilled that Indiana had been selected for
the “prestigious choir”. “We are told that
the judge said you have a very beautiful
voice. Those of us who have heard you
sing, can certainly vouch for that,” he
said. The Christchurch Boys’ Choir
was established in 1985 by Clifton
Cook. The choir sings a range of
pieces from traditional songs,
spirituals, sacred song, opera, jazz
and movie soundtracks.
Like the Hare, when I am in ‘My
Zone’ as an artist in my studio in
Port Levy, my imagination takes me
to places unknown, experiences
and thoughts unheard of, and it
is through my paintings that I can
truly express these feelings.
Where they will lead me is unknown,
but just like the Hare, that is what
inspires me.”
Jacqui is an artist of figurative
subjects with life and energy. Jacqui
lives and paints on an isolated farm
in Port Levy, Banks Peninsula with
her husband and daughter Phoebe.
While Jacqui’s subject matter is
invariably the human form, it is
secondary to her exploring form,
structure, movement, colour and
texture. In her recent body of work,
there is a translucent feel which
gives the paintings a whole new
interest.
She has been painting and
exhibiting for a long time. Jacqui
is also a past winner of the annual
CoCa award.

The power
of community
Orion is privileged to
have been associated
with Community Energy
Action (CEA) for more
than twenty years.
CEA is a charitable
trust that provides
insulation and energy
advice services to
the most vulnerable
in our community
with the overriding
objective of creating
warmer, healthier
and more energy
efficient homes.
Results of the Healthy
Homes Project, a recent
study undertaken by the
Canterbury District Health
Board and CEA, shows a
direct correlation between
insulated homes and a
reduction in hospital bed
days by up to 30%.
Working in a collaborative
partnership with CEA has
enabled a great deal to
be achieved where it is
most needed.

Many benefits from insulating homes
HEALTHY: A workman installing insulation under the floor of a
Canterbury home.
A successful partnership
between community, health
and commercial organisations
has helped save Canterbury
DHB nearly $1m, by providing
insulation and/or heating to high
health needs patients.
As well as reducing hospital
costs, it has also assisted in ensuring
people can remain in their
own homes.
In 2011, a Healthy Homes programme
was created between the
Canterbury DHB and the three
Canterbury primary health care
organisations, Community Energy
Action, Environment Canterbury
and the Energy Efficiency
Conservation Authority. Orion
and MainPower also contributed
funding into this programme.
The programme was developed
to keep people in their own
homes and communities rather
than using hospital services. This
recognised Canterbury’s compromised
housing stock following
the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.
The Canterbury DHB and partnering
organisations understood
the potential benefits for frequent
users of the health system of living
in warm and dry homes, including
improved physical and
mental health.
The programme initially focused
on people who had been in
the Christchurch Hospital at least
twice within a year prior to the
programme starting (defined as
being the highest-needs patients).
In July 2013, the programme was
extended to include general practice
patients, for example families
with children under 17 years
of age identified as being at risk
and parents with newborn babies.
The programme ran from 2011
to late 2014 and the whole programme
provided over 1500 insulation
installations and 450
heating appliances. Partnerships
amongst the organisations meant
many Healthy Homes’ clients
were referred to other organisations
and services, as additional
needs were identified.
A qualitative report was completed
by Pegasus Health in June
2015 on the whole programme.
Canterbury DHB invested
$1.7m over 2.5 years between
2011 and 2014, covering 22 per
cent of the total programme costs.
Around half of the $1.7m invested
went towards intervention
costs for the 900 highest-needs
patients, as defined above. The
remaining partnering organisations
covered the balance of the
total costs. Of those 900 highest-need
patients, a significant
number of them were aged over
65. There was an approximately
60 per cent/40 per cent split between
home owners and tenants.
After reviewing the health
data, comparing the year prior
to the interventions with the year
following, the findings showed a
29.2 per cent reduction in hospital
bed days of those 900 patients.
This equates to a reduction of
five bed days per annum, a cost
saving to the Canterbury DHB of
nearly $1m.
“This means the programme
was extremely successful for the
community and all involved including
the Canterbury DHB,”
says Caroline Shone, chief executive
of CEA.
“Whilst the cost for insulation
and heating is a one-off, the
benefits last for years. I’m sure
for the Canterbury DHB the return
on investment can be spent
on other health needs. This programme
was a first for CEA and
the other organisations involved,
I am really happy that we have
helped so many people working
in partnership with Government,
private and public sector organisations.”
Greg Hamilton from the Canterbury
DHB said he was “delighted
with the results.”
David Meates, CEO of Canterbury
DHB said: “This is just
brilliant to see the hard evidence
being brought to life.”
The above analysis only takes
into account one of a number of
benefits (hospitalisation) which
result from improving a home’s
insulation. There are other considerable
benefits to this programme
including:
Hospital benefits after the first
12 months – a single intervention
has a 40-year life span taking into
account the life of the insulation;
benefits to partners, children and
others living in the same dwelling;
benefits to future occupants;
reduction in other primary and
community services required for
intensive post-discharge rehabilitation;
reduction in absenteeism
from work/school for all home
occupants due to improved overall
health; people living in their
own homes with better wellbeing
and feeling safer; and empowerment
through improved physical
health, mental health and/
or an improved general state of
mind/well-being; establishment
of other successful working relationships
with a range of organisations,
with a focus to assist
vulnerable families.
To date, EECA has provided
approximately $450m worth of
subsidies for insulation nationwide
through their programmes,
including Warm Up New Zealand.
The Healthy Home Programme
analysis shows the need to continue
with programmes such as
these, particularly when EECA
and CEA through their own surveys,
have identified that there
are still over 30,000 low income
family homes in Canterbury
alone, with inadequate or no insulation.
There have been other relevant
New Zealand studies and discussions
over the years around the
need to improve housing quality
and the associated health benefits.

St Albans School all had teams

Organiser Barry Turner said
it aims to be a day of rugby fun
that celebrates participation in
sport in a non-competitive way.
“We don’t keep track of
points and we don’t have a
winner, the focus is purely on
having fun with teammates
and having the opportunity
to play against other schools,
including some country schools
which are not involved in the
weekly schools programme,”
he said.

of United States’ most
prestigious golf courses
in July.
The Christchurch
Boys’ High School
student has been
accepted to play in the
IMG Junior World Golf
Championships in San
Diego.
He will play in the
15-17 boys’ section of
the competition which
involves 1200 participants
from 56 countries
competing on Torrey
Pines South Course,
which hosted the US
Open in 2008.
Brettkelly’s grandfather
gave him his first
golf club when he was
18-months-old and he
joined the Hororata Golf
Club when he was six
and started training at 12.
This is the first time
Brettkelly will compete in
the championships and he
is excited to stand on the same
course some of the greats have.
“Mum told me as soon as I
woke up and it just made my
day. It’s going to be a surreal
BIG STEP: Dominic Brettkelly teeing off at Hororata
Golf Club.
experience, I’ve never played in
America so it’ll be a really great
opportunity,” he said.
This has been a goal for
Brettkelly for several years and
his coach, Rodney Yee, has been
helping him train every
day to get ready for the
tournament.
“Talent will only get
you so far. It’s really
down to hard work and
being focused on the end
goal,” Yee said.
For Brettkelly that
involves getting into
a US college on a golf
scholarship, and with college
scouts attending the
championships he hopes
to impress them.
“I want to get a
scholarship to play golf at
college in 2018, so there’s
a bit of pressure to stand
out at the tournament,”
he said.
The competition
doesn’t come cheap, the
Hororata Golf Club is
helping to get Brettkelly
to the US by hosting a
golf tournament in June.
“It’s very generous
of the golf club and the
community, especially
my granddad and my
parents, I wouldn’t be here
if it wasn’t for all the hard
work they put in,” he said.
Brettkelly will head to the
US on July 1 to get his bearings
before the competition starts on
July 10.

REDWOOD
Local pharmacy has long history
of friendly service
The ReDWooD Pharmacy in main
North Road has been in business for 60
years and over that time has become an
integral part of the local community.
Well-known and highly regarded by
everyone was owner Peter morgan, who
has now retired after 42 years at the
pharmacy.
“Peter will be sorely missed by all who
knew him, and it won’t be the same,” says
Keith elliott, who has had a half share
in the business since 2002 and has now
taken full ownership.
Two new faces have joined the team –
pharmacists eve Kitto and Paul Lau.
“Both are very experienced and
capable,” says Keith. “eve is here fulltime
and Paul is part-time. he had a
pharmacy in Cathedral Square before
the earthquake.”
The three hope to continue providing
the same community-focused care the
pharmacy prides itself upon, Keith says.
For people who need help managing
their medication, the pharmacists make
up 100+ medico packs, which they say is
a “great system” and invite customers to
call and talk about it if they wish.
The pharmacists are trained
specifically to dispense the morning after
pill, trimethoprim and viagra without
a doctor’s prescription (if you meet the
criteria), plus stop smoking patches,
gum and lozenges.
Blood pressure checks, ear piercing
and passport photos are also available,

friendly, gentle treatment
The Team at Redwood Family
Dentists has been providing a full range
of family dental services to the local
community since the early 1990s, treating
patients of all ages, from young children
to the elderly, with gentleness and
professionalism.
The practice has three surgeries,
with five dentists – two male and three
female – offering treatments ranging
from fillings, extractions, root canals
and cleaning through to the more
sophisticated dental services. These
include cosmetic work such as bridges,
veneers, teeth whitening, Invisalign® (clear
braces) and Fastbraces®.
For teeth whitening they offer the Zoom
method, which is carried out at the clinic,
as well as providing trays of whitening
solution that patients can apply at home.
Implants are also available through
Redwood Family Dentists, says dentist
Shane Summerfield.
“an oral surgeon does the implants and
we then do the required cosmetic work on
top,” mr Summerfield says.
all the dentists understand that there
are people who are very nervous about
having dental treatment, he says, and
they cater for them accordingly with pain
mitigation.
“We provide IV sedation if required,
or otherwise oral sedation or nitrous, so
patients can feel much more relaxed about
having their dental work done.”

UC Christchurch Youth Orchestra in rehearsal
CHRISTCHURCH SCHOOL OF MUSIC
2015 was a really busy year for the
Christchurch school of Music with lots of
exciting things happening. In september
the school celebrated its Diamond Jubilee
– 60 years of providing excellent music
tuition and ensemble opportunities to
thousands of Cantabrians.
Other highlights of 2015 were working
with G&a Creative to develop a new
website, logo and brand for the school and
the signing of a sponsorship arrangement
with the University of Canterbury for our
flagship orchestra, now known as the UC
Christchurch Youth Orchestra.
Most exciting of all, in December, the
school moved back home onto the site of
the old Music Centre. with the support
of the Catholic Diocese, the school is
housed in four portable buildings on
the site adjacent to Catholic Cathedral
College where all the instrumental and
voice teaching takes place on a saturday
morning and after school. The buildings
will officially open on Friday 13 May
with a celebration to say thank-you to
all the organisations that have supported
us to get to this stage. Many hours of
work have gone into fitting out the new
buildings with furniture, shelving, storage
and teaching materials to ensure it is a
friendly, welcoming and efficient place
for the school to operate from. Particular
thanks to Creative New Zealand and Rata
Foundation who have provided financial
support for the fit out
so along with its new branding, a new
user-friendly website and a great new
place to call home the CsM is in good
heart and enjoying a fantastic year of
music making in 2016.
From pre-schoolers to septuagenarians,
the CsM caters for a wide range of ages
and musical styles offering opportunities

instruments and an ensemble to suit
everyone. with orchestras, choirs, jazz
and rock bands, world music ensembles,

Tips to improve your running
Running should be as easy as
putting one foot in front of the other
right? Anyone can run, but having good
technique can make it feel so much
easier.
good running technique will make
your runs feel less tiring, reduce
your risk of injury, and ultimately
be more enjoyable. Muscle People
Physiotherapists specialise in assessing
and improving running technique
whether you are a competitive runner or
just running for fun.
start getting better now with these basic
tips:
POSTURE
• Keep your head straight
look straight ahead of you, about 30-40
metres out in front and avoid looking
down at your feet. looking down will
create tension in your neck and shoulders.
• shoulders back and down
Your shoulders should be back and down
not up by your ears. Keep them relaxed
and avoid tensing them. don’t hunch
over as this restricts breathing.
• Keep your elbows at 90 degrees
Your elbows should be bent at a 90 degree
angle. Try to swing your arms forward
and back, not across your body. This arm
movement helps to propel you forward.
Your hands should be relaxed, but don’t
let them flop. Tight hands can cause
tension all the way up to the back and
shoulders.
• solid core
Focus on keeping your core (trunk) firm,
though not rigid, and straight and your

Keeping this position in your hips can
help prevent low back and hip pain.
FOOT STRIKE AND LEG POSITION
• don’t strike the ground too heavily
good running is light and quiet. You
should land in the middle of your foot
with a slightly bent knee. Whatever your
weight, your feet should not slap loudly
as they hit the ground. light steps are
more efficient and cause less stress to the
body and landing on the middle of your
foot is the safest way to land for most
recreational runners.
That’s the basics but there’s always more
we can do to help. Try these:

three calf injuries in the last 18 months
and i wanted to make sure my running
technique wasn’t contributing to that.
over the course of the RunFit programme
i improved my technique, got faster and
i’m injury free. My training plan is on
track for my first marathon in June.”
Celia, works in sydenham, “RunFit is
the perfect combination of running drills,
core strength and running and i enjoyed
the variety. The core strength training
has helped with my tennis and posture
and i’ve learnt a lot about running form
to help with training in my solo sessions.
The physiotherapist and personal
trainer are fantastic and work really well
together, their on-hand knowledge is
invaluable. The small group environment
is very encouraging and works for all
abilities. i highly recommend RunFit - in
fact i’ve just signed up for more!”

Deadline sale: 4pm Tuesday, May 24, 2016 – may be sold prior
4 bedrooms | 3 living areas | 2 bathrooms | 2-car garage | Listing ID #: 3428GT
Superior homes in outstanding
locations are always hard to find
and buy. This is no more truer than
this home being featured in Marble
Wood Drive. An example of quality, style
and single level design that demands
immediate inspection. Our Vendor
reluctantly gives up a home that has given
them great pleasure to own and years of
enjoyment and security.
The home is approximately 210 square
metres and features three connecting
living areas that offer outstanding
collective entertaining space but can
still be used individually without
diminishing enjoyment.
Living opens to a courtyard and shade
trees. Outdoor living can be experienced
to the maximum here. Comprises four
bedrooms, guests bathrooms and an en
suite with his/hers walk-in robes/storage.
The established or growing family will
revel in the facilities provided.
The setting of 627m2 with its established
lawns and garden provides for garden
lovers and privacy hunters. This home is
“as new” having all its EQC repairs and
refurbishment completed. You’re buying a
special home in a very special location, and
won’t regret one minute of living here in
Marble Wood Dr. So close to the modern
facilities in Papanui and a short drive to
Northlands. The owner is retiring to his
new unit and welcomes you to inspect this
home before the deadline date.

at the end showed huge
passion from such a
young group of children,”
he said.
Organisers were
overhead saying that
they wished that all the
delegates had arrived to
be part of the opening.
“The children really did
themselves proud,
and I know that the
parents who were there
and who had helped
transport, were just as
proud of them as I was,”
Mr Buckner said.
As a non-government
organisation, Inner Wheel
representatives work
within the United Nations
on committees in Geneva,
Vienna and New York to
better the lives of women
globally.
