Chlorination 

decision 

looms 

this week 

• By Andrew King 

CHLORINATING drinking 

water is being considered by the 

city council because some northwest 

bores are at risk of being 

contaminated. 

The city council will consider 

on Thursday whether it should 

temporarily chlorinate bores 

at Farrington, Grampian and 

Avonhead. 

Chlorination is being considered 

because the north-west 

catchment bores have a low D 

grading, while the rest of the city 

has a higher B grade. 

The city council report has 

recommended that temporary 

chlorination goes ahead until 

deeper wells are commissioned 

in 2017. 

Due to the shallowness of the 

bores, they are considered the 

most susceptible to microbiological 

contaminants. 

The areas “specifically affected” 

will be notified, particularly 

“vulnerable parties” such as 

dialysis patients. 

The report said that the recent 

water contamination incident 

in Havelock North has raised 

concerns about water and public 

health risks. 

There are 22 bores in the 

north-west catchment supplying 

about 80,000 people, with the 

shallowest of these at 16m. 

A programme is already in 

place to replace the shallow wells 

with deeper ones, but currently it 

is not scheduled to be completed 

until the end of June 2018. 

Other options for city councillors 

to consider are: Upgrade the 

other wells quicker without chlorination; 

continue the project’s 

original timeline and include 

chlorination; or do nothing. 

Bores at Burnside and Harewood 

could have standby units 

for chlorination. 

Bryan Jenkins, professor for 

strategic waterway management 

at the Waterway Centre, said 

the water will be safe to drink if 

chlorinated, but with a change in 

taste and smell. 

“A vote for me is a 

vote for a candidate 

who lives in the ward. 

Local solutions to 

local problems.”

ELECTION PAPERS should be in 

the mail and we are ramping up 

our election coverage on pages 6,7 

and 8. 

The Harewood Ward is the one 

to watch, with candidates really 

starting to fight for their place. 

The frontrunners are likely to be 

current community board member 

Faimeh Burke and former city 

councillor Aaron Keown. The 

two Rod Camerons, both from 

Cashmere, could end up splitting 

the vote meaning good news for 

Ms Burke and Mr Keown and 

businessman Brian Gargiulo, who 

is also running. 

In the Waimairi Ward, Anthony 

Rimmell is trying to oust current 

city councillor Raf Manji. Neither 

live in the area. Mr Manji has opted 

for a city-wide outlook at the red 

zone and the central city rebuild 

instead of at issues in the area, 

while Mr Rimmell looks at empowering 

communities, waterways and 

housing. –Shelley Robinson

Swimmer ready for transplant games 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

BEN STANBURY, 11, was 

once told he had a one-in-three 

chance of dying. 

Now, after receiving a liver 

transplant last year, the young 

swimmer will be the only child 

organ recipient from New 

Zealand to be compete at the 

Australian Transplant Games 

held in Sydney. 

Ben, of St Albans, will travel 

to Sydney this week to compete 

in swimming, shot-put, a 50m 

sprint and 10-pin bowling. 

At four months old, Ben 

was diagnosed with polycystic 

kidney disease after he was 

rushed to hospital with heart 

failure. 

The disease is a genetic disorder 

where abnormal cysts grow 

in the kidneys. He also 

had severe problems with his 

liver. 

The night of his diagnosis was 

a moment his mother Traci Stanbury 

would never forget after she 

was told he had a one-in-three 

chance in dying. 

“In the end they paralysed 

him, put him on an ambulance 

and he spent the next month 

living up in Starship Hospital,” 

she said. 

Mrs Stanbury said since the 

“traumatic” night, Ben’s heart 

DETERMINED: Eleven-year-old Ben Stanbury will be the only child organ recipient from New 

Zealand to compete at the Australian Transplant Games.

condition. 

with just like a giant band-aid 

Last year Ben had a transplant thing over my stomach,” Ben 

operation after he was donated said. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

It was an experience he 

described as “confusing” but 

because he recovered so quickly 

from the operation he was out 

of hospital in about five weeks 

and back into swimming a few 

months later. 

Over the next few years Ben 

will be looking to have a kidney 

transplant with his kidney function 

currently at 40 per cent. 

Mrs Stanbury said he will be 

put on a waiting list of about 

600 people when it gets to 30 per 

cent. 

But for now, Ben is looking 

forward to going over to competing 

in the games as well as visiting 

Featherdale Wildlife Park. 

“For him to be the exact same 

as everyone else in the room and 

to be completely normal, that is 

quite a cool thing for him to do,” 

Mrs Stanbury said. 

Inspired by paralympian Sophie 

Pascoe, who won five medals 

at the Rio Paralympics, Ben 

will be competing in numerous 

events including his favourite 

sport of swimming. 

Ben first became interested 

in swimming at age four and 

leading up to the games he has 

been practising once a week in 

preparation. 

“Never give up because it can 

always be done,” he said. 

“Ben is very proud of the fact 

he is going. He is a very laid-back 

kid by nature just because of 

everything he has been through,” 

Mrs Stanbury said. 

We need City Councillors who put 

you, the community’s interest 

and our city’s future at the heart 

of their decision making. 

Having served as an elected 

Community Board member 

for twelve years, I will bring a 

strong mix of local government 

experience, leadership skills and 

integrity to the Council. 

With your support, I will work 

hard for a safer, sustainable and 

community focused city. 

My priorities include: 

• Making streets and intersections safer for 

everybody especially school pupils, cyclists, the 

elderly and people with disabilities; 

• Protecting the purity of our water supply; 

• Restoring and protecting our streams and 

waterways; 

• Rebuilding our community facilities; 

• Revamping the Bishopdale Mall in collaboration 

with the community and local business; 

• Efficient and cost-effective public transport; 

• Enhancing parks and green spaces; 

• Protecting our strategic assets; 

• Affordable rates.

We said: 

Both the Waimairi and 

Wai-iti streams have dried 

up. A potential solution has 

been found, but the flow-on 

effects could dry out other 

streams 

You said: 

Janey Thomas – Sadly this 

is only the start. Unchecked rural 

water extraction and successive 

droughts have pretty much guaranteed 

this outcome. 

Matt Cuthill – How about 

actually controlling the farmers’ 

draw down instead of just endlessly 

issuing abatement notices. 

Jahaan Ormandy – ECan 

have been a failure since day one. 

Readers respond to 

last week’s article about 

the cost of possibly 

replenishing streams in the 

north-west area 

L J Dell, Bishopdale 

I do hope that any council 

decision to attempt to restore the 

(Waimairi) or Wai-iti streams is 

based on hydrology and biology 

and not on the political need to 

appease neighbouring voters. 

Christchurch water should be 

treasured and not tinkered with. 

If that means doing nothing for 

the greater long-term good of 

the waterways, then the council 

should close its collective ears to 

the wails, bite the bullet 

and do nothing. Let nature 

take its course. If these streams 

can magically be reinstated 

without robbing other sources, 

then well and good, but to a 

layperson this occurrence seems 

to be something we must sadly 

live with and robbing Peter to 

pay Paul will just degrade other 

areas. Decisions such as this 

should be based on sound science 

and not politics or finances. 

Rod S Cameron, 

Cashmere 

I wish to address some 

concerns I am hearing in the 

north-west community about 

well-water, springs and streams. 

Some of our wells are relatively 

shallow, which means they are 

classified as slightly higher 

risk of pollution and some of 

our springs and streams are 

running dry, but none of these 

things should be cause for panic. 

We should drill some deeper 

wells quickly, as the council 

intends and we should study 

the aquifers and drains together 

with Environment Canterbury 

to understand what is happening 

with ground water. This 

is normal good infrastructure 

management, which will allow 

the best planning, ensure we enjoy 

our pure water and minimise 

our costs. All along, we must 

keep everyone informed so that 

concerns are minimised. These 

are the approaches I will always 

follow if I am elected for Harewood. 

Sound infrastructure 

management, control of finances 

and community engagement. 

City council candidate for 

Waimairi, Anthony Rimell, 

writes in response to city 

councillor Jamie Gough’s 

opinion piece last week 

Anthony Rimell, Central 

I’m deeply disappointed in 

Jamie Gough’s opinion piece in 

the Nor’West News, September 

13. Mr Gough has taken the fact 

that he was elected unopposed 

and used it against a system that 

in fact provides a far better level 

of community accountability 

for our local councillors. Some 

facts will show this. In the 

2013 local body elections, the 

Fendalton-Waimairi Ward, an 

area that included Harewood, 

elected two councillors from a 

field of eight candidates. This 

year, the same area in fact has 

the same number of candidates 

running – eight. And that 

same area will now have three 

councillors representing its 

issues on the city council, not 

just two. I’m also disappointed 

that Mr Gough has dismissed 

the importance of local 

accountability of councillors to a 

specific constituency. Of course 

councillors must consider the 

needs of the entire city. But 

for too long some councillors 

have put the needs of the very 

people who elected them a 

distant second. The new system 

requires councillors now to 

ensure they are representing 

both the city and their local 

community. That’s putting 

the ‘local’ back in local body 

politics. In my view, one of the 

reasons some councillors have 

been re-elected unopposed is 

because their local communities 

are extremely satisfied with their 

representation. Rather than 

undermining the new system, 

that actually endorses one of 

the new system’s core principles 

of greater local accountability. 

Clearly, Mr Gough and 

the others are seen by their 

communities to be doing a good 

job. That’s something to be 

applauded, not dismissed.

Safety risk sparks playground upgrade 


A PLAYGROUND at Abberley 

Park, St Albans, will get a 

makeover after concerns the 

current equipment is not up to 

scratch. 

The deteriorating equipment 

will be transformed into a fullscale 

playground. 

It will consist of new swings, 

a carousal, rocking horse, maypole, 

talk tubes and a see-saw, 

with astroturf as the surface. 

The playground renewal 

landscape plan was approved by 

the Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board last Wednesday. 

Located on Abberley Crescent, 

the current playground on the 

east side of the park includes a 

swing, slide, ramp and see-saw. 

Following investigations, the 

city council found the existing 

play equipment did not meet the 

Playground Standards. 

Safety issues found included 

the swings rusting around the 

leg support, while both slide 

chutes were too shallow, which 

could lead to a child falling off 

the slide. 

But St Albans residents were 

concerned by the amount of 

green space the park would lose 

as a result of the playground 

expansion. 

The existing green space by 

CHANGE: Layout plan for the 

playground to be upgraded at 

Abberley Park. 

the playground is about 1473m2, 

with the new playground expected 

to reduce it to about 1349m2. 

St Albans Residents’ Association 

co-chair Emma Twaddell 

said the city council’s consultation 

process caused confusion 

with the residents. 

“There were different plans 

put out that didn’t have the same 

information put on them,” she 

said. 

She said the main issue was the 

extension of the playground being 

at the expense of other park 

users. 

From the 1300 leaflets delivered, 

the city council received 98 

submissions with 20 opposing 

the proposal and 11 not stating 

their preference. 

To address resident’s concerns,

TRANSFORMATION: One of two playgrounds at Abberley Park 

will undergo a makeover to meet New Zealand Playground 

Standards. 

NO. 13 HARCOURTS NEW ZEALAND 2012-2013 

community manager Darren 

Moses said the layout of the playground 

was changed by moving 

equipment further west in the 

park. 

This created a more linear 

playground along the south 

boundary leaving a larger lawn 

area than what was in the original 

plan. 

Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board chairman Mike Davidson 

said while they could not please 

everyone, a decision needed to be 

made. 

“It has to be renewed...unfortunately 

you can’t just leave them 

and hope nothing 3 happens, because 

if something does happen 

then someone is obviously going 

to be held accountable,” he said. 

Construction for the playground 

is expected to begin in 

March and be completed by May. 

Mr Moses said the cost of the 

playground could not be estimated 

until the tender process was 

finished and it was commercially 

sensitive.

In Brief 

NOT ARSON 

A fire that caused millions of 

dollars in damage to a building 

in Burnside on Friday is not 

suspicious, according to a fire 

investigator. The building, 

owned by Tait Communications, 

suffered major damage after 

a light blew out, causing a 

fire while cleaners were at the 

site. Several appliances and 42 

firefighters fought the blaze 

and managed to save vital 

equipment. 

TWO TAKEN TO HOSPITAL 

Two men were taken to 

Christchurch Hospital with 

moderate injuries after the 

vehicle they were travelling 

in went off the road in Belfast 

on Sunday. St John sent two 

first response units and two 

ambulances to the scene on 

Radcliffe Rd at about 10.30pm. 

Both men were assessed and 

taken to hospital for further 

treatment. 

ROAD WORKS 

A road closure will be in place 

along Francis Ave between 

properties 38 and 54 while a new 

section of wastewater mainline 

is replaced over the next six 

weeks. The work will generate 

some low volume noise during 

the hours of 7am to 6pm. 

Parking will be restricted 

around the work area.

Solutions to gridlock 

What should be done about the traffic 

congestion in the Papanui Ward, 

particularly along roads like Main 

North Rd, Cranford St and Papanui 

Rd? Is rail an option that should be 

pursued? 

John Stringer: 

Papanui Ward 

city council 

and community 

board 

candidate 

Explore HOV 

(high occupancy vehicle) use, or 

T2 as they call it in Auckland, 

of the bus lane on Papanui Rd. 

Use the largely unused lane at 

peak traffic times to help clear 

northbound bumper-to-bumper 

traffic out on to Main North Rd. 

Simon Britten: Papanui Ward 

community board candidate 

Reduction of traffic congestion 

has been a priority for the current 

Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board and, if elected, I will support 

continued work in this area. We can 

expect construction of the Northern Corridor 

to begin soon – this project will have a massive 

impact on traffic flows, and the new Papanui-Innes 

Community Board will need to continue to work 

with affected residents. Rail as a commuter option 

was assessed unfavourably in 2014, but alternative 

public transport options, such as light rail, need 

to be considered, as well as the board supporting 

ongoing work on cycleways and fine-tuning of the 

bus network. 

Elections 16 

Mike Davidson: Papanui Ward city council 

candidate 

The Christchurch Northern Corridor project will 

begin shortly and, when completed, will reduce 

congestion on Main North and Papanui Rds. As 

Chairperson of the Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board, I have been actively involved in addressing 

the impact this will have on Cranford St, surrounding streets 

and communities. Dedicated and continuous bus lanes and safe 

cycleways reduce congestion by encouraging people to use different 

transport options. When elected, I will continue the work I 

have already started around this issue, including the downstream 

effects of the Cranford St four-laning. I will also advocate for rail 

to be investigated as a long-term solution to congestion. 

Emma Norrish: Papanui Ward 

community board candidate 

The completion of the Northern 

Arterial and the Northern Arterial 

Extension will make a big difference 

to traffic patterns in the Papanui 

Ward. However, this is nearly 

four years away. Right now we need to incentivise 

other alternatives such as public transport, 

cycling and carpooling. I will lobby for bus lanes 

to be opened up to vehicles with more than one 

occupant to encourage carpooling. I also want 

to increase the publicity and education around 

the safe and direct cycleways currently being 

planned and constructed, and to be involved in 

ensuring these are designed and utilised to their 

full potential. 

BACKED UP: 

Gridlocked roads 

in the Papanui 

Ward are cause 

for concern 

for hopeful 

candidates. 

Congestion is a 

concern along 

main roads in 

Papanui such as 

Main North Rd, 

Cranford St and 

Papanui Rd.

With the October 8 deadline looming for the local body elections, the 

Nor’West News asked candidates to send in why they should get your vote. 

The area is covered by four wards - Innes, Papanui, Fendalton and Central. 

A city councillor is elected from each, except from Fendalton where city 

councillor Jamie Gough stands unopposed. Two are selected from each 

ward to be on the community board, apart from Innes where Ali Jones and Jo 

Byrne stood unopposed. 

Pauline Cotter: 

Innes Ward - city 

councillor 

Our council succeeded 

in restoring 

relationships with the 

Crown, Ngai Tahu, Environment 

Canterbury ,Canterbury District 

Health Board, and is working 

collaboratively with our communities, 

adopting an enabling 

attitude. The long awaited decision 

allowing the Edgeware Pool 

Group to rebuild their community 

pool is but one example. The 

People’s Choice have successfully 

retained our assets, while still 

progressing the rebuild, keeping 

rates increases low. I look 

for opportunities to enhance our 

water quality within our land 

drainage recovery programme, 

am passionate about safe guarding 

of our pure water. Allocations 

must be monitored, enforcements 

applied, consents more 

realistic. I offer representation 

with compassion, logic, financial 

prudence. 

John Stringer: 

Papanui Ward - 

city councillor and 

Papanui-Innes 

Community Board 

Christchurch City 

Ambassador John Stringer is the 

only candidate who lives in the 

ward. He grew up (and raised 

his family) in Papanui; is married 

to Laurie; attends St Pauls 

Anglican and Northcity churches; 

attended Elmwood, Heaton and 

Chch Boys High schools and sent 

his kids to Paparoa St, Heaton, 

St Bedes and Burnside High 

schools. He has an MA from 

Victoria University and worked 

in Parliament for many years. He 

operates a local security company 

and a local food business; 

is involved in the High Court; 

has coached local Christchurch 

kids’ rugby; and is active in the 

Canterbury arts scene. 

Mike Davidson: 

Papanui Ward - 

city councillor 

As the current 

Chairperson of the 

Shirley/Papanui 

Community Board I have worked 

hard to advocate for local residents 

and communities. Having 

lived locally for over 20 years, I 

know our ward. Recent boundaries 

changes have pushed me just 

outside of our ward, but my affiliation 

is with this area and I want 

to continue to represent you, our 

many communities and our city. 

I am an independent candidate. I 

bring experience, local knowledge, 

business acumen, leadership and 

energy. Your support will ensure 

that I can continue the work I 

have already started and allow our 

city to keep moving forward. 

Elections 16 

Raf Manji: 

Waimairi Ward - 


As Chair of Strategy 

and Finance, I have 

helped guide the 

council through a difficult time. 

Our complex financial situation 

has been clarified and stabilized. 

There are still many challenges 

ahead: trying to keep a lid on and 

reduce rates increases, finishing 

the repairs to our roads and footpaths, 

restoring our community 

infrastructure and facilities, and 

devolving more decision making 

to the local level. I will be supporting 

more residential development 

in the central city and that 

the red zone must be restored in 

an ecologically sustainable manner 

in order to make it a longterm 

asset for the city.” 

Anthony Rimmell: 

Waimairi Ward - 


I am passionate 

about empowering 

local communities to 

make decisions for their future. 

As a Baptist pastor, I want to see 

our city council work together for 

the interests of all the people of 

Christchurch. I believe our city’s 

future financial and social security 

is best protected by keeping 

our key income-generating assets 

in council ownership, and by 

ensuring quality, affordable housing 

is available for all. 

Together, we can protect and 

enhance our waterways and 

parks. If elected I’ll advocate 

passionately for the needs of residents 

in Waimairi. 

Brian Gargiulo: Harewood Ward - city councillor 

I have lived in the Harewood area for 60 years, owning and operating a commercial property 

growing tomatoes and raspberries. This operation employed up to 50 people of many different 

ethnicities. I am currently a company director of produce companies in NZ and overseas. 

People are important to me. I want to create an environment in Harewood and greater 

Christchurch that is conducive to a desirable quality of life in all aspects of work, travel and 

recreation. I take a common sense approach to all my decision making and consider how the decisions I 

make affect others. I can listen, learn and make decisions on your behalf.

SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining 

walls is almost complete and we’re aiming to finish construction in December. 

The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing 

repairs to the city's earthquake-damaged infrastructure after SCIRT. 

Progress in your neighbourhood 

• Fixing the Northern Relief, one of Christchurch’s biggest wastewater pipes running 

through Fendalton, Merivale and St Albans is more than halfway through and will be 

completed at the end of the year. 

• Essential wastewater repairs in Aikmans Road in Merivale are progressing well and will 

be completed at the end of the year. 

• Ongoing repairs to the wastewater networks in Fendalton, Strowan, Papanui and 

Bryndwr are due to finish at the end of September. 

• The historic Helmore’s Lane Bridge was reopened to pedestrians and cyclists on 5

‘Army’ to the rescue 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 


THE PLIGHT of children 

rescued from their homes 

by Child, Youth and Family, 

sometimes with nothing but 

the clothes on their back, has 

mobilised an army. 

“Paddy’s Army”, that is – a 

group of about 25 St Patrick’s 

School pupils in Bryndwr who 

have collected almost 150 pairs of 

pyjamas to give to foster children. 

The pyjamas will be included in 

backpacks made up by volunteer 

group Foster Hope Christchurch, 

which also include things like 

toiletries, books and soft toys. 

Co-ordinator Ngarie Worsley 

said the packs were personalised 

for each foster child, to try to make 

them feel loved and valued at a 

rough point in their lives, when 

they had to leave their own homes 

to move in with a foster family. 

“We used to see children come 

with garbage bags full of stuff, 

and if your stuff is in a garbage 

bag you don’t exactly feel so 

great,” she said. 

The St Patrick’s pupils were 

inspired to help by the stories 

of one of their classmates, who 

was a foster child, Paddy’s Army 

member Izzy Gibson said. 

“We thought that we’re so 

PJS: St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School pupils Kate Wield and 

Izzie Gibson with some of the 148 pairs of pyjamas their class 

raised money to buy for foster children. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

lucky to have all the things that 

we have, when some people are 

being taken out of their homes 

in the middle of the night to go 

to a family that they don’t even 

know,” she said. 

They created posters, spoke in assembly 

to inspire their fellow pupils 

to help, and did “a lot of nagging” 

to collect the pyjamas, fellow army 

member Kate Wield said. 

In the past, the pupils have 

organised a blanket collection for 

St Vincent de Paul, and they plan 

to do more to help local charities 

in the future. 

Mrs Worsley said the pupils’ 

effort would make a huge difference 

to Foster Hope, which works 

to put together about 5000 packs 

each year. 

“It just blows my mind and I 

think it’s incredible, because 150 

pairs of pyjamas means that we 

can more than do what we need 

to do this year,” she said. 

She said the charity still needed 

donations of things like toiletries, 

small toys or craft activities.

$26,000 raised 

for Maddie 

MORE THAN $26,000 was 

raised for a St Margaret’s 

College pupil in need of a 

kidney transplant. 

A total of $26,218.10 has been 

donated to 12-year-old Maddie 

Collins (right) following a ball 

held recently for her. 

Maddie Collins is in need 

of a kidney transplant and her 

best hopes of finding a suitable 

match require her to travel to 

the United States. The trip is 

expected to cost $350,000. 

The ball was held on September 

3 and the money was raised 

from ticket sales, donations 

and an auction. 

Fundraising efforts continue 

with a national mufti day 

planned for tomorrow. 

West Melton School is joining 

the fundraising efforts to 

help ex-pupil Maddie, who lives 

in the area. 

The event has been put 

together for schools and businesses 

across the country to get 

involved in. 

West Melton School principal 

Sue Jackson said the school 

had no hesitation in getting 

involved in ‘Mufti Day for 

Maddie.’ 

“We were touched by Maddie 


and her family when she was 

a student here. Maddie is such 

a wonderful girl who has so 

much to offer. Taking part in 

this event is the least we can do. 

“We often have mufti days 

for good causes. I can’t think 

of a better one than this,” Mrs 

Jackson said. 

The mufti day is a fundraising 

event held across the country 

for schools and businesses 

to help raise the money needed 

for Maddie to get to the US.

Spectacular night under 

the stars raises $10,000 

OPENING: Pupils from Harewood School were excited to 

be involved in the opening of the Russley Rd underpass last 

week. Aidan Brannan (below left), of McConnell Dowell and 

Downer, and school leaders Jacob Frost and Brianna Gauci, 

both aged 10, buried a time capsule with New Zealand 

Transport Agency southern region director Jim Harland. 

The time capsule included stories the pupils had written. 

The new underpass allows cyclists and walkers to safely 

get across the road. The New Zealand Transport Agency 

is undertaking $112 million worth of upgrades to the road 

which is expected to be completed in 2018. 


AN EXCITING night out with 

the stars was held at Fendalton 

Open Air School with about 

1200 people showing up to the 

event. 

The Spectacular Space and 

Science Night was held last 

Friday to raise money so the 

school can further advance its 

outdoor spaces. 

Robots, the Martin Jetpack, 

a planetarium and hand-made 

rockets were just some of the fun 

activities featured at the event. 

Fendalton School parent 

teachers association member 

Sarah Bourke said about $10,000 

was raised from the evening. 

“It was brilliant. There was the 

most amazing community buzz 

around the place,” she said. 

Mrs Bourke said the event 

brought a diverse range of 

people together with the Chinese 

community making dumplings 

and Japanese making sushi. 

While it has not been decided 

what type of spaces the money 

will go towards, the school is 

looking at options including 

gardens, outdoor furniture, 

landscaping and painting 

murals.

A MUSICAL director from 

Merivale has played a key 

role in preparing one of New 

Zealand’s longest running 

choirs for a production of 

Evita. 

Music director Angus 

Simmons, 20, has not only 

taught the Christchurch 

Boys’ Choir the music, but 

also plays an aristocrat in the 

production. 

The choir, which has been 

singing for about 30 years, has 

been performing in Evita at 

the Isaac Theatre Royal since 

last Thursday. 

Made up of boys aged nine 

to 13, the choir represents a 

traditional 1950s Argentine 

church choir in a staged 

requiem mass. 

Simmons said the company 

was going to audition the 

group, but realised it was 

historically correct to have a 

choir made up of unbroken, 

treble male voices. 

“The boys’ singing is very 

angelic so the audience will 

appreciate it a lot,” he said. 

Simmons said, for some of 

the boys, it is their first time 

ever performing on stage in 

full costume. 

ON STAGE: The Christchurch Boys’ Choir rehearse for Evita, which is currently playing at 

the Isaac Theatre Royal. 

“They have risen to the 

occasion and know exactly 

where they stand and I think 

they will add to that cute 

factor people look for in 

shows,” he said. 

From the choir of 24 boys, 

12 will perform on alternative 

nights throughout the season. 

The choir’s aim is to give 

young singers an opportunity 

to be exposed to the music 

community. In the past, 

they have performed 

with the Christchurch 

Symphony Orchestra and the 

Christchurch City Choir. 

Simmons has run the choir 

since the beginning of last 

year along with his partner 

Kimberley Wood. 

The rock opera follows the 

life of Eva Peron, the second 

wife of Argentine president 

Juan Peron. 

Eva served as the first lady of 

Argentina from 1946 until her 

untimely death at the age of 33 

in 1952. 

“The show portrays her in a 

light that isn’t positive. Some 

people loved her and some 

people despised her so you 

have to make up your mind,” 

Simmons said. 

Simmons wants to become a 

professional opera singer. He is 

studying a bachelor of music, 

majoring in performance 

voice, at Canterbury 

University, 

“I am hoping to live a 

life of music. Performing 

would be ideal but I am not 

shutting down any other 

opportunities whether it 

is directing in choirs or 

whatever,” he said. 

•Evita will run until October

Catwalk to fight breast cancer 

• By Annabelle Dick 

SEVEN NEW Zealand women, 

on average, will hear the news 

today that they have breast 

cancer. 

Breast Cancer Cure is trying 

to help reduce that statistic 

by holding a fashion show in 

Christchurch, and around the 

country, with New Zealand’s 

biggest designers. 

The nationwide Fashion for a 

Cure charity show on Thursday 

will display collections from 

Kiwi designers to raise funds for 

breast cancer research. 

Breast Cancer Cure general 

manager Phillipa Green said the 

event is important as it provides 

financial support for ongoing 

study. 

“This show is absolutely vital 

for us. It’s our biggest earner and 

it’s important because we don’t 

do a bucket collection day or 

fundraising week so this is one 

of the ways that we raise a lot of 

money from the public. They’re 

actually donating it and getting a 

lot back in return,” she said. 

A pool of high-end designers 

from around the country will 

light up the Christchurch Art 

Gallery on September 22.

research. 

PHOTO: FASHION FOR A CURE AUCKLAND 2016 

Trelise Cooper, Working Style 

and Zambesi will all show their 

Spring/Summer collections on 

the catwalk. 

It’s the first time Elisabeth 

Findlay’s Zambesi will appear at 

the Christchurch show and she’ll 

be bringing a range men’s and 

women’s clothes to the table. 

Designers will also donate 

items from the show to put up 

for auction to add to the money 

pot. 

New Zealand Familial Breast 

Cancer Study co-ordinator Dr 

Logan Walker will also speak to 

the audience about the organisations 

ongoing research. 

“One of the main pillars for 

our fundraising throughout 

the year is to connect with 

more New Zealanders around 

the country and not just be an 

Auckland-based charity. This is 

a way to reach out to people,” Ms 

Green said. 

More than $250,000 was raised 

from all five shows in 2015 and 

the charity want to crack the 

$300,000 mark this year. 

“Just from Christchurch, 

we would like to get over the 

$50,000 mark,” she said. 

Fashion for a Cure has been 

running since 2012. 

Breast cancer is the most 

common cancer for women, and 

the third most common cancer 

overall. 

The disease affects one in 

nine New Zealand women over 

their lifetime and more than 

600 women die from it every 

year. 

Christchurch’s Fashion for 

a Cure show will be hosted by 

Michelle Pickles on Thursday, 

September 22.

Looking 

good at 

the races 

IT’S FUN to strut your stuff 

and have a good time at the 

races, but as Vania Bailey says, 

don’t forget etiquette. 

“You don’t want to be a show 

pony. You need to look polished 

but most importantly you need 

to feel comfortable in your own 

skin. 

“Don’t reveal too much. 

Remember the rules – if you 

are showing off a bit of cleavage 

then wear a longer skirt. If you 

have a long split in your dress 

don’t show off your chest. Don’t 

have everything on show – be 

discreet. 

“Accessories are important to 

pull your outfit together – shoes, 

short gloves and a matching 

fascinator or hat. 

“If you are going to wear 

something fitted make sure you 

wear the right garments underneath 

so there are no outlines or 

bumps. 

“If you decide on a spray tan, 

have a trial a few weeks before. 

You don’t want to turn orange 

on the day. Book your hair, nails 

and makeup in advance.” 

Airline uniforms land in city 

AN AWARD-WINNING 

exhibition that looks at the 

uniforms, aircraft and stories 

of the country’s flagship airline 

opened in Christchurch last 

weekend. 

Air New Zealand 75 Years. Our 

nation. The world. Connected 

is an exhibition at Canterbury 

Museum celebrating the airline’s 

75th anniversary. 

It has already been on display 

at Te Papa in Wellington, and 

Auckland War Memorial 

Museum, attracting 677,000 

visitors. 

The exhibition begins with a 

look at Air New Zealand’s uniform 

designs over the years, as 

well as traveller and crew stories. 

OLD 

SCHOOL: 

The ‘Air New 

Zealand 

75 Years. 

Our nation. 

The world. 

Connected’ 

exhibition 

is on at 

Canterbury 

Museum. 

It moves into the aircraft and 

flight aspect of the airline’s history, 

including the TEAL flying 

boat era, and the early days of 

flight in Canterbury. 

The story of former Christchurch 

Mayor Henry Wigram’s flying 

school and Lady Constance 

Stewart’s involvement with 

the Canterbury Aero Club are 

explored. 

It also looks at tourism pioneer 

Rodolph Wigley, who founded 

the Mt Cook Group that 

later included Mount Cook 

Airlines. 

The exhibition also features a 

virtual reality in-flight experience 

and takes a look at its 

promotion posters, videos and 

examples of how the airline has 

adapted over 75 years. 

It won best exhibition at the 

New Zealand events awards last 

month, beating the Gallipoli 

World War 1 exhibition at Te 

Papa. 

It will run until March 26 2017.

Ensuring a safe work place 

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe 

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the 

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that 

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, 

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or 

on to the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place 

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators 

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance 

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid 

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. 

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high 

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that 

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability 

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course 

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a 

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight 

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, 

hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in 

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children 

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in 

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents 

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far 

behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk 

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to 

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result 

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes 

such as motor vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask 

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the 

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. 

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your 

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is 

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where 

it is located.

to meet up with others, to 

have fun and to exercise, 

and this programme will 

provide exactly those opportunities. 

It’s a ‘learn to 

play programme’ and it is 

based on Tennis New Zealand’s 

‘Tennis Xpress’ programme 

for learners and 

intermediate level players. 

The big difference though, 

is that it will be delivered 

predominantly in the 

Mandarin language,” said 

Gard’ner 

Shanghai, China was 

home to Gard’ner and his 

family for 12 years while 

he was involved in tennis 

management at the Shanghai 

Racquet Club, and 

coach development with 

the Professional Tennis 

Registry. 

“There’s a real passion 

for tennis in China and 

players like Li Na are like 

superstars. We’re sure that 

local Mandarin speakers 

will be just as enthusiastic 

about our programme,” 

says Gard’ner.

PROGRAMME: Waimairi Tennis Club senior coach 

Adam Gard’ner will bring a new flavour to tennis 

coaching this season, coaching in Mandarin 

president, Lloyd Russell 

says the idea to introduce 

the Mandarin speaking 

coaching is a fantastic opportunity 

for the club. 

“Having Adam with his 

Mandarin language skills 

seemed a great chance 

to further our efforts to 

attract a new sector of 

players. We’re sure this 

programme will be a hit 

with the Christchurch 

community,” said Russell. 

Waimairi Tennis Club 

will also offer a new Tennis 

Hotshots ‘Blue Stage’ 

programme this summer. 

Russell says it will provide 

three to five-year-olds with 

an eight-session introductory 

programme that 

focuses on fundamental 

perceptual motor skills, 

building movement, ball 

and racquet skills. 

With a total of 500 

members – juniors and 

seniors – the club is the 

largest in Canterbury. 

Each season it enters 

upward of 11 senior and 

35 junior teams in Canterbury 

Tennis competitions.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 


Effective treatment for many 

types of pain 

Complementary medicine is becoming 

increasingly sought after in New Zealand 

as people become aware of the many 

different methods of treating pain and ill 

health that are available here. 

Christchurch-based Chinese health 

practitioner Lan Xiao has developed a 

method of treatment, which she says has 

as an immediate affect on a wide variety of 

pains and health conditions. It is known 

as ‘acupuncture without needles’. 

Lan describes it as being similar to 

reflexology in that the problem area on 

the body is determined through pressure, 

but is much more accurate. 

Trained as a medical practitioner in 

China, Lan came to New Zealand in 1992 

and began practising acupuncture in 

1995. From that discipline she created her 

acupuncture without needles, and uses 

it to treat people of all ages with many 

different types of pain in all parts of the 

body. This can include arthritic pain, MS, 

and pain from injury. 

“For example, the treatment has been 

very successful for people who have 

painful joints caused by arthritis,” Lan 

says. 

Acupuncture without needles is also 

effective in restoring energy levels, 

she says. 

“As people age their energy is reduced, 

and this can lead to other health 

problems. The acupuncture without 

needles treatment is like the body’s 

battery being charged up again, so their 

energy levels are restored, which in turn 

helps overcome their health problems.” 

Lan also uses it to treat depression 

and anxiety, and says it can help with 

addiction problems as well. 

“After the treatment the person has no 

cravings – because it treats the cause of 

the addiction.” 

She says the results are immediate, 

though people may need several 

treatments, depending on the extent 

of their health problem, and while it 

is slightly painful for few moments, 

everyone can tolerate it. 

Lan Xiao’s website, www. 

drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes 

videos of people whose health problems 

have been overcome after receiving the 

treatment. 

Her clinic is located at 108 Sawyers 

Arms Road, and her hours are Monday, 

Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to 

5pm. To discuss your health issues or 

make an appointment, phone 323 4168 

or 027 231 8388. 

Lan describes it as 

being similar to 

reflexology in that the 

problem area on the 

body is determined 

through pressure, but 

is much more accurate.

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Research 

Supports 

Eye Health 

Nutritional researchers have discovered a range 

of nutrients that are essential for eye health. Some 

of the most essential nutrients that have been 

shown to protect and even improve eye function 

are: 

Selenium, is a trace mineral that is low in 

N.Z. soils and therefore in many of our foods. 

Researchers believe selenium may help prevent 

cataracts, macular degeneration (the leading cause 

of impaired vision in older people) and may also 

improve dry eyes and general eye health. 

Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage of the 

population are low in. Zinc has been shown to 

help protect the eyes from the damaging effects 

of light as well as slow vision loss due to macular 

degeneration. 

Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Beta-carotene 

(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have potent 

antioxidant ability and help protect the eyes from 

damage 

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing nutrients 

that have been shown in landmark research to 

not only provide potent eye protection but may 

even help reverse some of the signs of age-related 

macular degeneration (AMD). 

Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent 

antioxidants may help protect the lens and retina 

from damage and reduce the risk of cataracts. They 

also may help improve blood supply to the eye, 

strengthen the small capillaries of the eye and may 

help improve night vision, may alleviate many eye 

ailments including eye fatigue that may be caused 

by reading, driving and computers. 

Eyebright may help normalise eye pressure and 

reduce eye allergies. 

Taurine is an amino acid that is essential for 

correct eye function. It may also have a detoxifying 

affect on the eye. 

Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue, 

bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision. 

Yumberry is the latest in eye protection. It 

provides many nutrients, is rich in oligomeric 

proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) that are potent 

antioxidants that may protect eyesight. 

These nutrients taken in a therapeutic amount 

should provide comprehensive eye protection, may 

slow and possibly even help reverse eye damage 

that could lead to loss of vision. All these nutrients 

are available in an economical one a day easy to 

swallow capsule.

SUPER CitriMax 

CLINICAL STRENGTH GARCINIA CAMBOGIA 

According to Dr. Oz an extract of Garcinia Cambogia, (a small 

pumpkin-like fruit) called Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) or CitriMax, 

is the most effective & fastest working natural supplement to 

support weight loss. 

Researchers found it: 

• Helps stop fat being made & stored in the body 

• Suppresses appetite & cravings. Feel fuller for longer 

• Increases energy levels & lean muscle mass 

• Increases Serotonin levels in the brain, especially good for 

emotional eaters. Serotonin may also improve mood & sleep. 

• Improves cholesterol & blood lipid levels

is highly bio-available & clinically proven for reliable results. 

Care For Your Joints 

They’re critical to remain 

healthy and mobile 

Refuse to accept joint pain and stiffness as part of life. Do 

the work to maintain and support your joints to get the 

best out of them for as long as possible. 

Research from Johns Hopkins 

University confirms that in the 

treatment of arthritis, exercise and 

physical activity has many benefits. 

• Regular exercise helps keep 

muscles around the joints strong, 

decrease bone loss and control joint 

swelling and pain. 

• Strengthening the muscles 

surrounding affected joints helps 

to relieve pressure on the joint and 

cartilage. 

• Regular exercise helps replenish 

lubrication of the joint cartilage and 

reduces stiffness and pain. 

• Lack of physical activity is 

associated with increased muscle 

weakness, joint stiffness, reduced 

range of motion and fatigue 

• Exercise needs to be directed at 

the entire body and not just the joints 

that are affected with arthritis. 

The golden rule for joint health - 

Keep moving! 

The more you move 

the less pain and 

stiffness you will have.

Enjoy unique shopping to be found at Women’s Expo 

With over 200 sites to browse, unique businesses to discover, 

shopping, bargains and laughter, the Expo is the ultimate day 

out for every woman. 

One of the appeals the Expo has to 

visitors is the variety of companies 

involved with everything from 

jewellery and shoes to activewear 

and fitness to skincare and health 

products to gourmet food and wine 

and even a company offering plantbased 

cooking classes for Kids & 

Adults. There really is something for 

everyone and all ages. 

Renee Murray from NZME Events, 

organiser of the Expo says “Our 

aim is to have as wide of a range 

of companies involved with the 

Expo as possible. Women are all 

different and their individual interests 

are so diverse. One woman 

may love the latest in makeup or 

skincare but the woman beside 

her may be more interested in 

cycling the Otago Central Rail Trail 

or sampling handmade cheese. 

It’s great on the weekend to see 

all the various women visit the 

show, from teenagers to business 

women, mothers to grandmothers 

and friends simply enjoying each 

other’s company. It’s becoming 

more common for us to see three 

generations visit the Expo together 

as well, with the daughter, mother 

and grandmother all enjoying the 

show and spending the day with 

each other.” 

Brandhouse will exhibit at the Expo 

for the first time with their range of 

champagne, vodka, port and wines. 

Popular at other Expo’s this year 

has been the Royal Dragon’s elite 

flavour vodka collection with some 

flavours selling out. Introducing 

the most tantalizing and unique 

flavoured vodka collection of its time 

flavours include Watermelon, Green 

Apple, Passion Fruit, Chocolate and 

Lychee… A great vodka collection 

to enjoy neat, on the rocks or in 

your favourite cocktail! Visit the 

large Brandhouse site at the show 

to sample from their fabulous range 

and take home what you love. 

Christinz Clothing will visit the show 

for the first time, travelling from 

Balclutha to showcase her selection 

of Designer Clothing including; 

pants, stunning tops, skirts, base 

layers and jackets. A popular 

item are her batwing sleeve tops with a 

flattering shape through front to suit all 

sizes and with pink, gold, navy, black 

and silver in the colour range these tops 

look great with jeans, skirts or leggings. 

Christinz Clothing are located in the Expo 

Fashion Zone. 

The High Protein Breakfast Company 

will travel all the way from Auckland with 

their exclusive High Protein Muesli. Not 

available in store yet this range of muesli 

not only tastes great but helps with weight 

management, health and fitness. Without 

many of the sugars or fillers that so many 

processed breakfast foods contain these 

mueslis will keep you fuller for longer and 

with flavours including
