Traffic lights possible for

dangerous intersection

• By Andrew King

A DANGEROUS Harewood

intersection that is avoided by

residents and people who work in

the area could have traffic lights

installed at it sooner rather than

later.

The Breens, Gardiners and

Harewood Rds intersection

has been a serious concern for

residents and parents whose

children need to cross it to get to

school.

At a recent Fendalton-

Waimairi Community Board

meeting a city council traffic

engineer said they are working

behind the scenes to bring

forward a proposal to install

traffic lights.

It all comes

down to finding

the money to do

it, according to

board deputy

chairman

David

Cartwright (left).

“We have been told we can

expect a solution to the problem

in the next two months,” he said.

Mr Cartwright said he

questioned a report given to the

board that said: “There are no

current plans for upgrading the

intersection.”

“We said this is a real concern

to the community so we need to

find a solution,” he said.

Mr Cartwright said he trusted

that staff will work hard to put

the community’s collective

minds at rest.

Shirley-Papanui Community

Board deputy chairman Aaron

Keown said he will start a

petition to show the city council

just how many residents are

affected by the intersection.

“I have received more

correspondence on this issue

than any other in my nine years

of working as a city councillor

and as a community board

It is the second intersection

near Breens Intermediate

to come under fire from

residents.

Bishopdale residents have

asked the city council to build a

pedestrian island in the middle

of busy Farrington Ave, near

where it intersects with Wairakei

Rd to assist students negotiating

the traffic.

The city council has said there

are no plans to make further

safety changes to the intersection

– but has agreed to listen to

community concerns.

Permanent site for camera

• By Andrew King

A TEMPORARY camera

championed by city councillor

Ali Jones has prompted a

permanent one to be installed in

St Albans.

Two new high-definition

security cameras were installed

last week on the corner of Manchester

and Purchas Sts to deter

anti-social behaviour.

It comes after Cr Jones suggested

a temporary one, in an

attempt to solve ongoing issues

between sex workers and residents.

It was installed in May.

The new security camera is

being paid for and maintained

by the city council.

However,

Shirley-Papanui

Community

Board

deputy chairman

Aaron

Keown (left)

said while it

gives sex workers

a safe spot

to stand, it has been put in the

wrong place.

“It is a double-edged sword.

Because of recent events the

girls have been looking for a

safer spot to stand, and right

underneath this camera is

perfect for them, which is not

good for residents,” he said.

Sex worker Renee

Duckmanton, who was last seen

on Manchester St, was allegedly

murdered in May.

Mr Keown believes it is a

good start but more cameras

were needed in the city centre to

provide sex workers the safety

they deserve while moving them

out of residential areas.

“The next step is more

cameras and more toilets

for those who work in this

industry,” he said.

Police had were consulted

by the city council to find the

best place to install the camera,

they will also have access to the

footage.

The camera will go live in the

next two weeks.

camera was installed in May.

In Brief

WORK UNDERWAY

Repairs to the earthquake

damaged wastewater system

on Fendalton Rd, near the

intersection with Deans and

Harper Aves, is under way. Work

will begin between property

numbers 2-4 on Fendalton Rd.

It is installing new wastewater

pipes and a pressure wastewater

tank on private property, as well

as a new wastewater chamber on

the road outside of 4A Fendalton

Rd. To minimise delays, in the

morning there will be two lanes

operating for southbound traffic.

Northbound traffic will share

a single lane. In the afternoon,

there will be two lanes operating

on Fendalton Rd for northbound

traffic, and southbound traffic will

share a single lane when passing

the work site.

FUNDING APPORVED

The Fendalton-Waimairi

Community Board will give

two grants to students pursuing

activities overseas. It approved

$300 for 14-year-old Matthew

O’Connor to attend the Children’s

International Summer Village

Camp in the Philippines. It also

approved $600 for 21-year-old

Anna Woods to put towards

studying at the Hopkins-Nanjing

Centre in China. The funding

was sourced from the board’s

2016/17 discretionary response

fund.

Time for a fairer

distribution of wealth

St Albans

Uniting

Parish

minister

Reverend

Hugh Perry

writes this

week’s opinion piece

about the growing

gap between the rich

and poor and ‘blame

game’ that follows it.

Tuesday July 12 2016

AS THE minister of St

Albans Uniting Parish

my concern is very much

focused on the wellbeing

of people and that is influenced

by the world we live

in as much as our immediate

neighbourhood

Statistics New Zealand’s

recently reported that the

wealth share of individuals

shows the top 10 per cent

of people have almost 60

per cent of wealth and

the bottom 40 per cent of

households hold just 3 per

cent.

In his 1970 book Future

Shock Alvin Toffler said

that new technologies

would free humanity from

dangerous and dehumanising

work but the real

challenge will be to fairly

distribute the wealth technology

produces.

Clearly Toffler’s predictions

about new technology

have been proved correct.

But Statistics New Zealand

percentages show we

have failed to fairly distribute

the wealth produced.

We seem to compensate

for this failure by blaming

the poor, particularly the

unemployed, for their

plight.

But in this world of robots

and rapid worldwide

communication there are a

whole host of jobs that no

longer exist and people are

urged to retrain.

I come across people

who have and spent years

retraining only to find they

can’t get a job because they

have no experience.

I have met others who

because of accident or

other reasons are too slow

in even menial tasks to be

employed.

The ultimate insult in

the blame game, however,

seems to be the practice of

putting a homeless family

in a motel while they

wait for a suitable house

then debiting their benefit

to pay back the cost and

therefore making them less

able to pay rent.

Isn’t it time we took up

Toffler’s 1970 challenge of

a fairer distribution of the

wealth our new technologies

produce.

Certainly that is a huge

challenge but perhaps the

first step is to care and

show compassion.

•Do we as a society

look down on the less

fortunate to a point

where it is too hard for

them to get off the bottom

rung? Share your

Readers respond to a recent

article about the city council

not planning on upgrading the

intersection of Breens, Gardiners

and Harewood Rds in Bishopdale.

They say:

Sara Howes, of Bishopdale – I have

just read the article in the Nor’West News.

I can’t believe it. What time of the day

did city council staff observe this intersection?

As a resident of Gardiners Rd and

therefore a regular user of the intersection

at peak time it is diabolical and that’s being

polite.

Daily at peak time, people just charge

straight through the intersection from the

Breens Rd side failing to give way or either

end up sitting in the middle of the road.

It is out of control. I’ve even witnessed a

GoBus doing this exact thing.

The city council needs to step up and

spend ratepayers money wisely, they put

lights at the Sawyers Arms and Gardiners

NOR’WEST NEWS

Rds intersection and that had a lesser accident

rate.

Donna McLachlan, of Bishopdale –

The results to this intersection problem

are outrageous. Does someone have to die

before things change?

Traffic is the problem, people don’t follow

the road rules at this corner making it

dangerous for everyone.

Cars stop at the stop sign on Breens Rd

and think that it is okay to go straight

through, while traffic is sitting in the middle

of Harewood Rd waiting to turn right

into Breens or Gardiners Rds.

I have seen a lot of near misses and

my husband was a witness to a bad accident

where a man just pulled out into

Harewood Rd hitting a female student’s

car. He said he had been waiting too long

to cross.

I have noticed a decrease in traffic, I

think people are avoiding the corner and

going another way, I know I try to. I was

really hoping something would have been

done.

Burke announces intention

to run in Harewood Ward

• By Andrew King

THE HAREWOOD Ward

now has three people set to vie

for a seat, with Faimeh Burke

throwing her hat into the ring

for the upcoming city council

election.

Lady Burke originally said

she would stand in the Waimairi

Ward.

However, she feels she can do

more for her community in the

Harewood Ward.

She said part of the reason

was because current city councillor

Raf Manji was standing

in the Waimairi Ward.

“It was definitely a factor in

my decision, but not the main

one,” she said.

Lady Burke said she had a

strong bond with the area and

felt it was the best ward for her

to stand in.

In the race for the Harewood

seat, she will join Shirley-

Papanui Community Board

deputy chairman Aaron Keown

and Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure

and Rebuild Team

value manager Rod Cameron.

She has been a member of

the Fendalton-Waimairi Community

Board for the past 12

YOU DECIDE: Faimeh Burke (left) will stand in the Harewood

Ward in October’s city council election. Her competition

so far will come from SCIRT value manager Rod Cameron

years and said her passion and

dedication to the area has not

waived in the slightest.

“I have close ties to community

groups in this area and

have pushed for a lot of change

over my time on the board,” she

said.

Fellow board member and

current city councillor Jamie

Gough is also standing for reelection

to the city council.

Cr Gough will stand in the

Fendalton Ward.

BILINGUAL: Amiria and Matakaea Tikao helped supermarket

customers celebrate Maori Language Week.

Pupils teach Te Reo

TWO PUPILS – one from Shirley

Intermediate and the other from

St Albans School – were the

voices behind a supermarket

initiative to celebrate Maori

Language Week.

Amiria Tikao, 12, and her

younger sister Matakaea, 9,

had their voices professionally

recorded in a sound studio to

help SuperValue and FreshChoice

customers better understand the

Maori language.

The sisters were recorded pronouncing

items such as apples,

mushrooms, fish, milk, meat,

kiwifruit and cheese, along with

many others.

Amiria said it was a fun project

to be involved with.

“It was really cool. It took about

45mins, so not very long . . . we

got most of the words first time,

which was good,” she said.

Local SuperValue and Fresh-

Choice supermarkets then put

posters up around their stores,

with a QR code that customers

could scan with their cell phone.

The code led to a website where

they could hear the two pupils

correctly pronounce the word.

Amiria said she had not yet

tested out the posters, but she

would think about going in later.

SuperValue and FreshChoice

brands manager Liz de Lange

said that when the campaign was

run last year, the QR codes were

used thousands of times.

Cheaper swimming

MOVIE

ABOUT 1300 more children

will be able to join Swim Safe

classes thanks to a $40,000

funding increase.

The boost was approved by

city council as part of its annual

plan for 2016/17.

The funding will go towards

the transport subsidy for children

travelling by bus to city

council swimming pools to take

part in the programme.

The city council also agreed

to introduce a 25 per cent discount

on entry fees to centres,

such as Jellie Park Recreation

and Sports Centre, for children

of Community Services Card

holders.

The move aims to improve

access to pools.

The discount on entry fees

will be introduced from October

However, the child entry fee

for swimming at council pools

is due to increase from $3.10 to

$3.50 in October. City council

staff are investigating how the

cost can be kept as low as possible.

City council acting head of

recreation and sports David

Bailey said the extra funding

would help make Swim Safe

more accessible, particularly for

students at low decile schools.

CHEAPER ACCESS: The children of parents with a

Community Services Card will be entitled to a 25 per cent

discount on entry fees to facilities including Jellie Park

Recreation and Sports Centre.

“Swimsafe is our foundation

programme that every single

child in the city should have access

to,” Mr Bailey said.

Fendalton-Waimairi Community

Board chairwoman Val

Carter said water safety is a vital

skill that all children should

have.

“As New Zealanders, we have

a responsibility to teach our

children how to swim,” she said.

“I think it is a fantastic idea

but children need to continue

to build their swimming skills

after these classes.”

Ms Carter said the programme

could tie in well with

an incentive plan which the

board had come up with to get

people to use public transport,

bike or walk to Jellie Park to

reduce car parking issues.

The board has suggested those

who get to the facility without

using a car should be eligible for

discounts.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Will these

discounts encourage you

to get you children into

Swimsafe classes. Share

SMILES WILL get a bit

The funds will be used to

NOR’WEST NEWS

Diving deep into new role as

The Little Mermaid will be visiting The Court Theatre

as part of her big above-sea experience. Played by

Rebekah Head, she spoke to Georgia O’Connor-

Harding about playing mythical Maori character

Pania of the Reef’s mermaid grand-daughter, living

out of a suitcase and what she hopes to do next.

Hey Rebekah, how have the

rehearsals been going?

It has been a fast rehearsal

process but it is a lot of fun and

laughs. There are three actors.

Unlike me, the other two actors

get to do a lot of costume

changes and swapping between

other roles so I have the easy job

in that sense.

How come the little mermaid

in this show is called PJ rather

than the Princess Ariel we all

know from Disney?

The show, adapted by Alison

Horsley, has incorporated the

story of Pania of the Reef. There

is a statue in Napier and she is

part of Maori mythology. It is a

New Zealand story. So PJ the

mermaid is the grand-daughter

of Pania of the Reef. It is definitely

a more localised story.

Have you grown up watching

the Disney version of The Little

Mermaid?

EMERGING PERFORMER: Former NASDA student Rebekah

Head is making her way in the performing arts industry in New

Zealand.

Definitely. Religiously.

So how does it feel to be the

mermaid of the show?

It is very exciting and a bit

nerve-racking because I think

lots of people have The Little

Mermaid in their head already. I

am looking forward to creating

my own version. Hopefully that

is something people enjoy.

How are you planning to portray

yourself differently to The

Little Mermaid we all know?

Ariel was a large inspiration

for the character but that is quite

an American story so I have

tried to make myself into more

of a Kiwi mermaid. The wonderful

work from the costume ladies

has helped. The magnificent tails,

with loads of sequins fellow actor

Jane and I both wear, make it

easy to take on the character.

Following on from studying

at Christchurch’s National

Academy of Singing and Dramatic

Art, are you performing

full-time?

I am trying to perform fulltime

but it is a bit tricky because

performing jobs only last

a month or two. You rehearse

them for two weeks and then

perform them for two weeks. I

have been moving around Auckland,

Christchurch and Hawke’s

Bay in the last few months with

various kids shows. Last year, I

toured around New Zealand and

Australia for a few months with

the New Zealand Playhouse.

Would touring Australia be

the main highlight since leaving

NASDA?

Definitely touring Australia for

10 months was a highlight. It was

a crazy experience – I saw a lot

of cool places. We started in

Brisbane and went all the way

across to Perth. We drove all

the way, too. We performed

high school and primary school

shows.

Our show for high schools was

an adaptation of the Importance

of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.

Our primary school show was

called Jack Flash and the Jumping

Beanstalk. They were 50-minute

shows and they were performed

three times a day.

Do you ever get tired of the

performing lifestyle?

No, but the performing lifestyle

is a specific one. I feel like

I have spent the last two years

living out of a suitcase, which

perhaps isn’t everybody’s lifestyle

choice, but I love it and won’t be

stopping any time soon.

What was NASDA like because

I hear it is tough?

I think any performing school

is tough. You learn a lot about

yourself because it is a very vulnerable

craft to be doing.

little mermaid

ABOVE THE SEA:

Rebekah will play

the role of The Little

Mermaid in the

upcoming production at

The Court Theatre.

What did you learn

about yourself?

I suppose you learn how

you behave as a person

with other people when

you are under a lot of

pressure. There are quite

a lot of time pressures at

NASDA. A lot of creative

art can’t be forced. You

learn a lot when you are

pushed to your limits.

What do you enjoy

about children’s shows

compared to the other

shows you have done?

One of the most exciting

things about children’s

theatre is that children are

the most honest audience

members you are ever going

to get. If they are not

enjoying a show, they will

let you know because they

will start moving around.

It is exciting hearing all the

things yelled out as well.

What do you think

about the relaxed performance

for children,

including those with an

Autism Spectrum Condition

or learning disability?

I think it is wonderful

they are making this show

accessible for people who

wouldn’t feel comfortable

bringing their children to

the theatre. Children are

always yelling out different

things so I don’t think

it would be too different

for us.

Tell me about the other

performers in the show.

In the Disney performance,

Eric is known as

the Prince. But in our

show, Isaac Pawson is

playing a character called

Dylan. But I wouldn’t really

call him a prince. It is

a modern tale of The Little

Mermaid. He is just a cool

guy who lives in Christchurch.

Jane Leonard will

be playing Pania of the

Reef and Pania’s evil sister

Kelpie. Pania of the Reef is

a New Zealand character

but Kelpie the evil twin has

more of a Cruella De Vil

type of vibe.

So what’s next?

After this I am going to

go travelling to Europe for

a month. I am starting off

in London and then going

to Barcelona. I will be

watching a lot of shows. I

already have a lot booked at

West End in London. I am

going to Matilda The Musical,

The Curious Incident of

the Dog in the Night-Time,

which The Court Theatre is

doing next year.

The Little Mermaid will

run at The Court Theatre

from July 13-23.

TOP TEAM: The

Submarines show

beat Sumner School

3-1 to take the year

7 and 8 water polo

competition.

Submarines rise to

top of competition

BREENS Intermediate’s A

grade water polo team, the

Submarines, have won the year 7

and 8 competition at Jellie Park

Recreation and Sports Centre

recently.

The final was played between

Breens and Sumner was the

culmination of a term of tough

competition in the pool.

The teams were unable to be

separated during round robin

play as they battled to a 2-2 draw.

However, Breens coach Jono

Collins said the final was a different

story.

“Sumner scored first but this

just seemed to energise the

Submarines, showing heart and

coming out on top in the end

3-1,” he said.

“Some outstanding work in

goal by Blake Richards saw a

number of shots repelled, while

dominating the pool Piper

Spencer and Aiden Carson kept

the opposition at bay, with Aiden

scoring all three goals.”

The Submarines have been

together for two terms now

and things look bright as they

work towards the South Island

tournament in Dunedin later this

year.

THREE LITTLE PIGS: Room 2 pupils sung and danced their interpretation of for three little

pigs and dressed up as pigs or wolves.

Fairy tales come to life

HAREWOOD SCHOOL pupils

performed at the Aurora Centre

in Burnside to showcase what

they had learnt in their literary

study of fairy tales.

One hundred and seventy

two pupils were involved in the

production called The Fairy Tale

Fantasy and was written and

directed by teachers Julie Argyle

and Joanna Woods.

School spokeswoman Angela

Dini said the pupils focus during

the term was dance and music

and the classes worked hard

towards integrating the two.

“The synopsis of the story is

children writing fairy tales as

part of their literacy studies.

They then had to gather information

about what characteristics

make a good fairy tale.

“Then each class at the school

chose a fairy tale and danced to

the appropriate music,” she said.

There were whole school songs

in between each class dance.

Seven year-old Lilly Carline

was a huge fan of the night.

“It was exciting that we got to

Trophies for musicians

UNIFORM CHANGE: Rangi Ruru students were able to find out

what it was like to be a St Kent’s girl for a day.

Successful exchange

for Rangi students

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students

spent three days in Auckland as part

of an exchange with St Kentigern

Girls’ School.

The year 7 and 8 students have

recently returned after an actionpacked

sport and cultural exchange.

They participated in netball,

basketball and indoor soccer against

the St Kent girls foraging new

friendships while battling on the

court.

They also shared a combined

music performance, which was a

unique opportunity to share their

learning of the Sasa, a Samoan

dance, which they taught to their

new friends.

The girls also experienced being

a St Kent’s girl for the morning

attending classes in mathematics,

cooking and art.

A school spokeswoman said the

students learnt a lot during their

time away.

“It was a truly varied learning

experience, full of personal growth

and development,” she said.

GRAZNYA’S GIRLZ: Sarah Lawrence, Victoria Park, Rachel

McSweeney and Grace McKenzie.

IT HAS been a hugely successful

couple of weeks for Rangi Ruru

Girls’ School music students.

The school’s senior choir

Resolutions won selection for

the New Zealand Choral Federation

Big Sing Finale.

It is one of 24 schools that will

attend the event in Dunedin in

late August, and one of only four

choirs from Christchurch.

This follows two significant

wins for Resolutions at the Big

Sing regional competition in

Christchurch, where they won

best performance of a contemporary

work and the award for

the most outstanding recital

from a girls’ choir.

The school’s junior chorale

was named joint winner of the

most outstanding junior choir

award at the same regional

competition.

Demonstrating incredible

depth in music, Rangi Ruru

also has two of only 12 groups

selected for the national semifinals

and finals of the NZCT

Chamber Music Contest, to be

held in Auckland early next

month.

Graznya’s Girlz and From

Russia with Love secured their

places after their selection for

the South Island regional finals.

Graznya’s Girlz, made up of

Grace McKenzie, Sarah Lawrence,

Victoria Park and Rachel

McSweeney, won the district

contest, along with the University

of Canterbury Trophy for

the Best Performance, and then

went on to win the South Island

regional finals.

From Russia with Love, made

up of Grace McKenzie on

violin, Karen Hu on the cello

and Isabella Gregory on piano,

were highly commended in the

district contest and also a South

Island regional finalist.

In addition Vietz, made up of

Lucy Costelloe on violin, Anna

Bruce on the cello and Jessie

Anderson on piano won the

adjudicators’ choice award at the

district contest and were bronze

award winners at the South

Island regional finals.

As well as these national

selections, six girls in year 7 and

8 have been selected to perform

in the Christchurch Schools’

Music Festival special groups –

four in the orchestra, one in the

concert band, and one in the

senior choir.

All year 7 and 8 girls will sing

in the massed choir on the final

night of the Festival, which runs

October 26-28 at the Horncastle

Arena.

CHAT WITH MATT

I look forward to meeting you on

Thursday, 14 July, from 7pm to 8pm,

at the Belfast Rugby Club at my

Keeping Connected Evening meeting.

It’s about keeping connected through

these night meetings, my caravan

clinics or just living and working in

the electorate with my family. Please

drop in and take part.

I enjoyed speaking at the Belfast

Residents’ Association’s monthly

meeting. The group are working hard

to create a strong community and

it was good to hear from them and

explore ways we can work together.

Forty students and a lot of

questions were the order of the day

when 40 students from Casebrook

Intermediate recently took over my

Parliamentary office during a visit to

Parliament. The students attended

Question Time before descending on

my office for juice, fruit and biscuits.

I arranged for Hon Nicky Wagner,

Minister of Customs, to visit and

there were lots of questions about

Customs and the work to stop crime

at our borders.

A productive meeting I facilitated

for Casebrook residents with

representatives from a range of

agencies at the Papanui Club proved

the value of working together. I am

happy to assist in your area with any

issue.

Budget 16 and what’s in it to help

local businesses is the focus of a visit

by the Deputy Prime Minister when I

host him in the electorate this month.

I have arranged this visit to inform

our local businesses on these new

changes.

Chatting to our over 65s in Belfast

on Monday at my Super Seniors

coffee morning once again resulted in

some interesting issues being raised.

I value these opportunities to hear

from our seniors.

ACHIEVERS

HIGH ACHIEVER: Casebrook Intermediate’s Ella Mitchell (left) has been described as an

exceptional leader, while Scott Janet, of St Andrew’s College, received an award for his fine

qualities.

Natural young leaders

• By Andrew King

SIX PILLARS of the north-west

youth community have been

honoured with Sir Peter Blake

Young Leader Awards.

This year’s nominations

included stories of exceptional

young leaders, talented Kapa

Haka performers and students

who volunteered their time to

community groups.

Scott Janet, of St Andrew’s

College; Krissy Epton, of Rangi

Ruru Girls’ School; Pippa Gutry,

of Paparoa Street School; Ella

Mitchell, of Casebrook Intermediate;

Jared Talenoa, of Breens

Intermediate; and Hugh Fergusson,

of Belfast School, all received

awards.

All six were noted for their

natural ability to inspire those

around them and bring out the

best in their fellow students and

themselves.

Sir Peter Blake Trust chief

executive Shelley Campbell said

the awards aimed to nurture and

celebrate leadership in young

people.

“The qualities these children

display – humility, humour, inclusiveness,

positivity and a team

approach – were all shown by Sir

Peter himself,” she said.

The awards span 460 schools

from Northland to Bluff and

celebrate year 5 to 8 leaders.

GOOD SORT: Papanui Primary School has given a shout-out

to one of its fantastic volunteers, Carol Watson. Ms Watson

has deep roots with the school, which was attended by

her grandchildren and now her great grandchildren. Office

administrator Lisa Brunel said she was a fantastic volunteer,

who is always happy to give up her time. “From a regular slot on

road patrol duty to taking reading groups, one on one reading,

helping out in the classroom, testing spelling words, and

assisting on class trips, she is a lovely person,” she said. “She is

very positive, caring and always willing to help out with anything

and everything. We are so grateful for everything she does for

the pupils and school and we feel very lucky to have her.”

FLAME FILES

Look while you cook

• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk

Management Officer

I’VE SPENT much of the last

week in the North Island.

Firstly in Rotorua, where I visited

the New Zealand Fire Service

training facility for the first time.

It is one extremely impressive

complex, with full a number of

buildings providing scenarios for

training from cars to houses to

commercial buildings, aircraft

and ships.

It’s a quantum leap from the

bare concrete yard and tower that

sufficed 35 years ago.

While I was away, fire crews attended

the normal range of incidents

including, un-surprisingly,

four kitchen fires.

These ranged from an

overcooked chicken breast in

Dallington to a full house fire in

Barbadoes St last Friday.

I almost despair that the message,

‘keep looking while you’re

NOR’WEST NEWS

cooking’ continues to be ignored

by many in our community.

The result can be life shattering.

One of the features of fine days

at this time of year is that the sun

travels low in the sky.

This provided a shock for the

owner of a house in Hillmorton

returning home just before 5pm

on Tuesday.

She found two cushions quietly

smouldering away in her lounge.

The setting sun was reflecting

perfectly from a small concave

mirror on to the couch.

In this case she was lucky.

She came home just in time.

Electric fans today have an

oscillating feature that widens the

dispersal of air.

A fan against a wall that

prevented this movement in St

Martins last week was found to be

overheating. Again just in time.

But another thing that can ruin

your life.

your technician will take the time to fully

understand your needs, relevant medical

history and the history of the tattoo in

question so that you get the best service

possible.

The q-switch laser the technicians use

removes tattoos effectively. The laser emits

short, nanosecond energy pulses that

penetrate the tissue and shatter particles of

ink pigment into fragments, which are then

eliminated via the lymphatic system.

it is very brief. however, ice packs and

numbing cream can be provided if required.

Customer testimonial

“Coming from a professional work

environment i was very conscious about

keeping a business image. although at the

time i had it done i thought it was amazing,

my tattoo has now become a part of me that

i hide. i had always wondered about getting

it removed but thought it would be too

expensive and painful.

The Tattoo Removal Company has made

this process very easy for me. Not only is

the removal affordable it is no more painful

than when i put it on. after one treatment

the results were amazing and i highly

recommend The Tattoo Removal Company

– great service, great results.” - Jackie henry,

HealTH & BeauTY

Keeping TracK

Of YOur HealTH

Lets take a look at the new fitness sensation Fitbit. What is it and

how does it work? Most importantly,

how do we incorporate it into our fitness regime?

Fitbit consists of a family of products

designed to track every part of your day

– including activity, exercise, food, weight

and sleep – to help you stay motivated,

and see how small steps make a big

impact. There’s something for every taste,

budget and technical requirement from

the everyday category of wrist bands to

performance-specific watches.

All Fitbit products track steps, distance,

calories burned and active minutes. All

but the most basic Fitbit also track sleep

patterns. At the performance end of the

range you’ll also have access to things

like heart rate and GPS tracking. All of

the products feature wireless syncing and

online and mobile tools, such as the Fitbit

app to help track your exercise, sleep,

hydration and food, and connect with

friends.

Seeing your progress can really help

you realise what’s possible, and investing

in a Fitbit may help to take you on the

next step of your health and fitness

journey.

Fitbit was built on the premise that

fitness is not just about gym time; it’s

about all the time. So, it can be a great

addition to your fitness regime.

There are many things to consider when choosing a

health and fitness regime to follow through with.

for example:

• What type of exercise to choose: indoor, outdoor or a mixture of both? Running, walking,

cycling, swimming, yoga, pilates, dancing, group fitness, a team sport, or something else?

• Who to exercise with: just yourself, with a buddy, in a group, or to enlist the help of a

personal trainer?

• What nutrition guidelines to follow: enlist the help of a nutritionist, or just cut back on

processed food, for example?

• Balance: how will you ensure you get a good balance of enough rest and recovery as well as

the right frequency, duration and intensity of exercise?

• Motivation: how will you motivate yourself to get out the door in the first place?!

Professional advice from a registered exercise professional should always be your first port

of call. They can help get you set up with an appropriate personalised programme, help you

with exercise techniques, and help you stay accountable to your goals.

Once you’re in the swing of things you may find you want some extra assistance to ramp

up your progress towards your goals. investing in a Fitbit could help you to achieve this,

especially if you’re a ‘details’ person who likes to be well organised and able to measure

progress from

each and every workout. Similarly, if you find you’re in a bit of a rut and could do with a

mini accountability ‘buddy’, then a Fitbit could be

just the ticket.

Winning ticket on Tui

40 Tui Street, Fendalton

Auction: 28 July 2016 unless sold prior

Rent, renovate or redevelop? This

property could be your lucky ticket,

with its mouthwatering array of

opportunities for the savvy investor.

Situated on a superb 1004sqm freehold corner

site with a blue chip Fendalton address, the

upside of this house and land couldn’t be sweeter.

The substantial character home is presented in

very tidy condition. Two generous living areas

boast wood panelling and lead lights to excite the

character lover, while the roomy separate kitchen

is perfectly functional, but ripe for updating.

There are four good bedrooms, and the bathroom

is fresh and neat with a separate shower. A heat

pump and log burner will keep family or tenants

cosy. Outside, the section is fully fenced with a

single garage and established gardens.

Breathing new life into the home would be

an enticing project, but others will be drawn

to the possibilities presented by renting out the

property while developing plans for a new build

on the site. There is possibly even the potential

to subdivide. Whichever way you look at it, the

value is underpinned by a top location, in zone

for Fendalton School, Boys’ High and Girls’ High.

You’ve got to be in to win, so contact us today

to find out more!

Open homes dates: Saturday, July 16, and

Sunday, July 17, 2pm to 2.30pm and Saturday,

July 23, and Sunday, July 24, 2pm to 2.30pm.
