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 


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. 

Right: The temporary 

camera was installed in May. 

NEW: 

The city 

council has 

installed a 

permanent 

camera 

on the 

corner of 

Manchester 

and Purchas 

Sts to 

replace a 

temporary 

one used 

to deter 

anti-social 

behaviour. 

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. 


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 


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 


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

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 

1. 

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.

discounts encourage you 

to get you children into

PREMIERE: The New Zealand premiere of Ice Age: 

Collision Course took place at the Northlands Shopping 

Centre recently to celebrate Christchurch’s place as one of five 

gateways to Antarctica. The event was hosted by the What Now 

presenters and supported by the city council and Antarctica New 

Zealand. In keeping with the setting of the film, Hoyts Northlands 

cinema was transformed into an outer space and ice-themed 

world for children. The premiere included six husky dogs from 

the Canterbury Sled Dog Club and costumed characters from 

the Ice Age movies.

Financial boost for oral care 

$10,000 

donated 

to charity 

hospital 

SMILES WILL get a bit 

brighter for those whose dental 

care is unaffordable with the 

contribution of $10,000 by the 

Harcourts Foundation to the 

Canterbury Charity Hospital. 

The funds will be used to 

expand the hospital’s current 

oral care facilities into a larger 

dental surgery on Harewood Rd 

in Bishopdale. 

Canterbury Charity Hospital 

founder and surgeon Phil Bagshaw 

said the new oral surgery 

would increase the number of 

procedures and provide better 

dental training and options for 

the community. 

“Because we receive no 

Government assistance we are 

totally reliant on the support 

of hundreds of volunteers and 

financial assistance is like gold 

to us,” Mr Bagshaw said.

Charity Hospital founder and surgeon Phil Bagshaw a cheque for $10,000 towards future 

costs of the hospital. Also pictured left to right are Lynette McFadden and Cameron Bailey. 

owners Lynette and John 

McFadden said they have 

seen first hand the benefits 

of the Charity Hospital and 

were delighted to be able to 

contribute. 

“I used to work as a staff nurse 

with Mr Bagshaw so it gives 

us great pleasure to help,” Ms 

McFadden said. 

There are more than 285 

Harcourts Real Estate offices 

participating in the Harcourts 

Foundation Programme, 

donating a percentage of every 

property sale. 

The foundation has raised 

more than $4m since 2008, 

assisting hundreds of charitable 

organisations throughout New 

Zealand, Australia, South 

Africa and the United States, 

helping thousands of people in 

need.

Our People 


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

perform on the stage,” she said. 

Ms Dini said all the children 

had a great time and the Aurora 

Centre was packed with parents, 

extended family and friends. 

Seven-year-old Emily Grins 

said she loved the colour and 

music. 

“I loved watching the other 

classes dance and sing,” she said.

SCHOOLS 


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. 

MATT DOOCEY 

MP FOR WAIMAKARIRI 

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 


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.”

Winning ticket on Tui 

40 Tui Street, Fendalton 

Auction: 28 July 2016 unless sold prior 

4 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 1 toilet | 2 living room | 1 car garage | Listing #: PI55813 

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

SPORTS 


Grass roots rugby league in the north-west is looking strong with both under-6 Papanui 

teams winning their games recently. Papanui Orange had a solid 22-16 win over the Woolston 

Rams, while Papanui Black beat Linwood Green 40-26. Both Papanui teams trained together 

but then split off into their respective sides. Papanui Black’s Kingston Donnelly now tops the 

try scoring table with 27 four pointers with seven rounds still to play. He has amassed 118 

points while Orange player Jonah Teokotai nips at his heels with 92 points for the season. 

Orange is sitting second on the table with Black occupying third position. The Hornby 

Panthers are currently sitting top of the under-6 table. •More sport page 18

A 23-12 win over Burnside

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 


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.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Tattoo removal specialists 

offer discreet professional service 

The TaTToo Removal Company is the first in Christchurch to 

specialise in the removal of tattoos, and removing clients’ unwanted 

tattoos is their sole focus. 


This family business has three 

technicians, male and female, who have 

undergone extensive training and are 

committed to ongoing professional 

training to maintain their skills. Coming 

from beauty, hairdressing and hospitality 

backgrounds, they love working with 

people and providing a friendly and totally 

professional service. 

for whatever reason you wish to remove 

your tattoo, the technicians provide a fast, 

effective, confidential and unprejudiced 

service in an exclusive, private environment. 

Whether you are having a full tattoo 

removal or lightening a tattoo for a cover-up 

with new art, during the initial consultation 

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. 

While there may be some slight discomfort, 

it is very brief. however, ice packs and 

numbing cream can be provided if required. 

Before 

After 

Treatment and the number of sessions 

required vary depending on skin type, 

quality of tattoo and desired outcome, 

with six weeks needed between treatment 

sessions. 

for women who have had marks made on 

their skin during breast cancer treatment, 

the Tattoo Removal Company will remove 

these at no cost. 

The tattoo removal service is available seven 

days a week from 6am-10pm at the merivale 

clinic, 33 springfield Road. mention this 

advertisement and you are entitled to a 

17 per cent discount off the first three 

treatments. 

To make an appointment phone 022 046 

7746, and check out their website www. 

gonetattoo.nz and facebook page ‘Tattoo 

Removal Company’ for more information. 

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

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 

4 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 1 toilet | 2 living room | 1 car garage | Listing #: PI55813 

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.
