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 

Alice in Videoland one in

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.

CAR CRASH 

A woman was taken to 

Christchurch Hospital with 

moderate injuries after being 

involved in a car crash on 

Thursday in Burnside. St John 

arrived at the scene on Russley

crash. 

MITRE 10 BUILDING COLOUR 

Mitre 10 Mega in Papanui will 

change the colour on the south

from residents. Concerns 

were raised the orange would 

clash with the surrounding 

environment. Papanui-Shirley

Mike Davidson spoke to the 

owner about changing the 

colour which he agreed to. It is 

currently being repainted.

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 

NEW CHALLENGE: 

Raewyn Saunders said 

she really wants to 

bring the community 

into the school and 

make it a place were

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!

money for Ronald McDonald

More than $30,000 was 

raised from the event held at the

by M Factor Events last Saturday 

featured New Zealand

her two twin nieces stayed at

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. 

Open Homes: Saturday and Sunday, 2pm 

to 2.30pm.

wrote to Nor’West News in 

response to an article in the 

April 24 edition: 

The article headed Funerals 

on hold at church in the 

Nor’West News recently may 

have provided a misleading 

impression of the good work 

that is being done by the New

contracting team working near 

St James Harewood. 

No funerals have in fact been 

cancelled at the church since 

work began.

a poem about 

the closing 

of The Great 

Opportunity Shop on 

McDaniels Rd. 

It’s time to say goodbye to our 

shop. 

The hub of our community, we 

have loved a lot. 

A place to drop off your plastic 

bags or chat about your bum 

that sags. 

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 

work and any more aftershocks

Said the Vicar of St James 

Harewood Matt Watts: “As a 

church community we have 

been really thankful for the 

partnership with the contractors. 

At our recent Anzac Day 

service they made extra effort to 

complete roadworks in time for 

the Dawn Service.” 

The project is not a city 

council cycleway project, it is 

NZTA work part of the Russley

building of a safe underpass for 

cyclists and pedestrians under 

the roundabout.

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. 

Pupils play the role

Elmwood Normal School

present to the class as either 

a scientist, hero, historian, 

joker or weirdo in a 20min

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

St Albans School all had teams 

involved in the fun day. 

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. 

16yo gets a shot at 

prestigious golf champs 

CAITLIN MILES 

Dominic Brettkelly, 

16, will tee off on one 

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, 

plus there is a great selection of 

attractive gifts.

Family dentists provide 

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.”

Trying out the trombone at Try an Instrument Day 

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

held regularly. 

CsM also provides a comprehensive 

music education to participating primary 

schools via its Outreach programmes. 

with programmes offered in band, 

strings, recorder and ukulele in a wide 

range of Christchurch schools this is an 

area of the school, which has grown fast 

over the last few years. 

another area that has grown rapidly 

over the last few years is the Late starters 

programme thanks to the great work of 

well-known Cantabrian and CsM alumni 

Mark walton. adults approaching 

retirement with more time on their 

hands have really enjoyed learning an 

instrument they never had the chance 

to play in their early years and join an 

ensemble with other like-minded adults. 

short courses are offered in subjects 

such as theory and aural perception and 

the school strives to meet the needs of 

our students and families in every way we 

can. 

The Christchurch school of Music was 

established in 1955 by Robert Perks, MBE, 

to provide an education in instrumental 

music for primary schools. since then the 

school has extended it activities to include 

students of all ages and has also added 

vocal lessons and choral opportunities. 

as well as our opening there are some 

important events coming up. 

On 21 May, the UC Christchurch Youth 

Orchestra will present its first concert 

of the year under the baton of new 

conductor, Helen Renaud at the Charles 

Luney auditorium at st Margaret’s 

College starting at 7.30pm. The concert is 

titled “Metamorphosis” and will feature 

works by sparke, Vaughan williams, 

Hindemith, Brahms and Rossini. Tickets 

are available through Eventfinda and 

there will also be door sales. 

The CsM also has two Kidsfest events 

in the July holidays. The Composer is 

Dead by Lemony snicket is a really good 

fun, engaging concert that will teach the 

children all about the instruments of the 

orchestra and is being held on Tuesday 

12 July at 11.30am and 1.00pm in the 

Charles Luney auditorium Tickets will 

be available through Dash ticketing from 

the beginning of June. 

If you have always wanted to play an 

instrument but you’re not sure which 

one or you want to give your children a 

chance to have a go on all the instruments 

to help them decide, come along to our 

popular and free Try an Instrument Day 

on Tuesday 19 July from 11am-1pm in 

the Hall at Catholic Cathedral College.

the instruments and then have a go

HEALTH & BEAUTY 


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

hips and shoulders level and relaxed. 

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: 

RUNFIT – The technical edge 

Muscle People Physiotherapy & 

the YMCA gym have a running 

group in hagley Park – RunFit, led 

by a Physiotherapist and Canterbury 

competitive runner, and a Personal 

Trainer from the YMCA gym. RunFit 

focuses on running technique which 

is vital to improving speed, reducing 

injuries and making running more 

enjoyable for both regular runners 

and the beginner. RunFit is ideal for 

regular runners who are looking to 

challenge themselves, as well as the 

beginning runner who wants to start 

with good technique and the guidance of 

professionals.

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!”
