Chlorination<br />
decision<br />
looms<br />
this week<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
CHLORINATING drinking<br />
water is being considered by the<br />
city council because some northwest<br />
bores are at risk of being<br />
contaminated.<br />
The city council will consider<br />
on Thursday whether it should<br />
temporarily chlorinate bores<br />
at Farrington, Grampian and<br />
Avonhead.<br />
Chlorination is being considered<br />
because the north-west<br />
catchment bores have a low D<br />
grading, while the rest of the city<br />
has a higher B grade.<br />
The city council report has<br />
recommended that temporary<br />
chlorination goes ahead until<br />
deeper wells are commissioned<br />
in <strong>20</strong>17.<br />
Due to the shallowness of the<br />
bores, they are considered the<br />
most susceptible to microbiological<br />
contaminants.<br />
The areas “specifically affected”<br />
will be notified, particularly<br />
“vulnerable parties” such as<br />
dialysis patients.<br />
The report said that the recent<br />
water contamination incident<br />
in Havelock North has raised<br />
concerns about water and public<br />
health risks.<br />
There are 22 bores in the<br />
north-west catchment supplying<br />
about 80,000 people, with the<br />
shallowest of these at 16m.<br />
A programme is already in<br />
place to replace the shallow wells<br />
with deeper ones, but currently it<br />
is not scheduled to be completed<br />
until the end of June <strong>20</strong>18.<br />
Other options for city councillors<br />
to consider are: Upgrade the<br />
other wells quicker without chlorination;<br />
continue the project’s<br />
original timeline and include<br />
chlorination; or do nothing.<br />
Bores at Burnside and Harewood<br />
could have standby units<br />
for chlorination.<br />
Bryan Jenkins, professor for<br />
strategic waterway management<br />
at the Waterway Centre, said<br />
the water will be safe to drink if<br />
chlorinated, but with a change in<br />
taste and smell.<br />

ELECTION PAPERS should be in<br />

The Harewood Ward is the one<br />
to watch, with candidates really<br />
starting to fight for their place.<br />
The frontrunners are likely to be<br />
current community board member<br />
Faimeh Burke and former city<br />
councillor Aaron Keown. The<br />
two Rod Camerons, both from<br />
Cashmere, could end up splitting<br />
the vote meaning good news for<br />
Ms Burke and Mr Keown and<br />
businessman Brian Gargiulo, who<br />
is also running.<br />
In the Waimairi Ward, Anthony<br />
Rimmell is trying to oust current<br />
city councillor Raf Manji. Neither<br />
live in the area. Mr Manji has opted<br />
for a city-wide outlook at the red<br />
zone and the central city rebuild<br />
instead of at issues in the area,<br />
while Mr Rimmell looks at empowering<br />
communities, waterways and<br />
housing. –Shelley Robinson<br />

Swimmer ready for transplant games<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
BEN STANBURY, 11, was<br />
once told he had a one-in-three<br />
chance of dying.<br />
Now, after receiving a liver<br />
transplant last year, the young<br />
swimmer will be the only child<br />
organ recipient from New<br />
Zealand to be compete at the<br />
Australian Transplant Games<br />
held in Sydney.<br />
Ben, of St Albans, will travel<br />
to Sydney this week to compete<br />
in swimming, shot-put, a 50m<br />
sprint and 10-pin bowling.<br />
At four months old, Ben<br />
was diagnosed with polycystic<br />
kidney disease after he was<br />
rushed to hospital with heart<br />
failure.<br />
The disease is a genetic disorder<br />
where abnormal cysts grow<br />
in the kidneys. He also<br />
had severe problems with his<br />
liver.<br />
The night of his diagnosis was<br />
a moment his mother Traci Stanbury<br />
would never forget after she<br />
was told he had a one-in-three<br />
chance in dying.<br />
“In the end they paralysed<br />
him, put him on an ambulance<br />
and he spent the next month<br />
living up in Starship Hospital,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mrs Stanbury said since the<br />
“traumatic” night, Ben’s heart<br />
DETERMINED: Eleven-year-old Ben Stanbury will be the only child organ recipient from New<br />
Zealand to compete at the Australian Transplant Games.<br />
condition has been sorted but a liver.<br />
he still had a liver and kidney “All I remember is lying in bed<br />
condition.<br />
with just like a giant band-aid<br />
Last year Ben had a transplant thing over my stomach,” Ben<br />
operation after he was donated said.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
It was an experience he<br />
described as “confusing” but<br />
because he recovered so quickly<br />
from the operation he was out<br />
of hospital in about five weeks<br />
and back into swimming a few<br />
months later.<br />
Over the next few years Ben<br />
will be looking to have a kidney<br />
transplant with his kidney function<br />
currently at 40 per cent.<br />
Mrs Stanbury said he will be<br />
put on a waiting list of about<br />
600 people when it gets to 30 per<br />
cent.<br />
But for now, Ben is looking<br />
forward to going over to competing<br />
in the games as well as visiting<br />
Featherdale Wildlife Park.<br />
“For him to be the exact same<br />
as everyone else in the room and<br />
to be completely normal, that is<br />
quite a cool thing for him to do,”<br />
Mrs Stanbury said.<br />
Inspired by paralympian Sophie<br />
Pascoe, who won five medals<br />
at the Rio Paralympics, Ben<br />
will be competing in numerous<br />
events including his favourite<br />
sport of swimming.<br />
Ben first became interested<br />
in swimming at age four and<br />
leading up to the games he has<br />
been practising once a week in<br />
preparation.<br />
“Never give up because it can<br />
always be done,” he said.<br />
“Ben is very proud of the fact<br />
he is going. He is a very laid-back<br />
kid by nature just because of<br />
everything he has been through,”<br />
Mrs Stanbury said.<br />
We need City Councillors who put<br />

Having served as an elected<br />
Community Board member<br />
for twelve years, I will bring a<br />
strong mix of local government<br />
experience, leadership skills and<br />

We said:<br />
Both the Waimairi and<br />
Wai-iti streams have dried<br />
up. A potential solution has<br />
been found, but the flow-on<br />
effects could dry out other<br />
streams<br />
You said:<br />
Janey Thomas – Sadly this<br />
is only the start. Unchecked rural<br />
water extraction and successive<br />
droughts have pretty much guaranteed<br />
this outcome.<br />
Matt Cuthill – How about<br />
actually controlling the farmers’<br />
draw down instead of just endlessly<br />
issuing abatement notices.<br />
Jahaan Ormandy – ECan<br />
have been a failure since day one.<br />
Readers respond to<br />
last week’s article about<br />
the cost of possibly<br />
replenishing streams in the<br />
north-west area<br />
L J Dell, Bishopdale<br />
I do hope that any council<br />
decision to attempt to restore the<br />
(Waimairi) or Wai-iti streams is<br />
based on hydrology and biology<br />
and not on the political need to<br />
appease neighbouring voters.<br />
Christchurch water should be<br />
treasured and not tinkered with.<br />
If that means doing nothing for<br />
the greater long-term good of<br />
the waterways, then the council<br />
should close its collective ears to<br />
the wails, bite the bullet<br />
and do nothing. Let nature<br />
take its course. If these streams<br />
can magically be reinstated<br />
without robbing other sources,<br />
then well and good, but to a<br />
layperson this occurrence seems<br />
to be something we must sadly<br />
live with and robbing Peter to<br />
pay Paul will just degrade other<br />
areas. Decisions such as this<br />
should be based on sound science<br />
and not politics or finances.<br />
Rod S Cameron,<br />
Cashmere<br />
I wish to address some<br />
concerns I am hearing in the<br />
north-west community about<br />
well-water, springs and streams.<br />
Some of our wells are relatively<br />
shallow, which means they are<br />
classified as slightly higher<br />
risk of pollution and some of<br />
our springs and streams are<br />
running dry, but none of these<br />
things should be cause for panic.<br />
We should drill some deeper<br />
wells quickly, as the council<br />
intends and we should study<br />
the aquifers and drains together<br />
with Environment Canterbury<br />
to understand what is happening<br />
with ground water. This<br />
is normal good infrastructure<br />
management, which will allow<br />
the best planning, ensure we enjoy<br />
our pure water and minimise<br />
our costs. All along, we must<br />
keep everyone informed so that<br />
concerns are minimised. These<br />
are the approaches I will always<br />
follow if I am elected for Harewood.<br />
Sound infrastructure<br />
management, control of finances<br />
and community engagement.<br />
City council candidate for<br />
Waimairi, Anthony Rimell,<br />
writes in response to city<br />
councillor Jamie Gough’s<br />
opinion piece last week<br />
Anthony Rimell, Central<br />
I’m deeply disappointed in<br />
Jamie Gough’s opinion piece in<br />
the Nor’West <strong>News</strong>, <strong>September</strong><br />
13. Mr Gough has taken the fact<br />
that he was elected unopposed<br />
and used it against a system that<br />
in fact provides a far better level<br />
of community accountability<br />
for our local councillors. Some<br />
facts will show this. In the<br />
<strong>20</strong>13 local body elections, the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi Ward, an<br />
area that included Harewood,<br />
elected two councillors from a<br />
field of eight candidates. This<br />
year, the same area in fact has<br />
the same number of candidates<br />
running – eight. And that<br />
same area will now have three<br />
councillors representing its<br />
issues on the city council, not<br />
just two. I’m also disappointed<br />
that Mr Gough has dismissed<br />
the importance of local<br />
accountability of councillors to a<br />
specific constituency. Of course<br />
councillors must consider the<br />
needs of the entire city. But<br />
for too long some councillors<br />
have put the needs of the very<br />
people who elected them a<br />
distant second. The new system<br />
requires councillors now to<br />
ensure they are representing<br />
both the city and their local<br />
community. That’s putting<br />
the ‘local’ back in local body<br />
politics. In my view, one of the<br />
reasons some councillors have<br />
been re-elected unopposed is<br />
because their local communities<br />
are extremely satisfied with their<br />
representation. Rather than<br />
undermining the new system,<br />
that actually endorses one of<br />
the new system’s core principles<br />
of greater local accountability.<br />
Clearly, Mr Gough and<br />
the others are seen by their<br />
communities to be doing a good<br />
job. That’s something to be<br />
applauded, not dismissed.<br />

Safety risk sparks playground upgrade<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A PLAYGROUND at Abberley<br />
Park, St Albans, will get a<br />
makeover after concerns the<br />
current equipment is not up to<br />
scratch.<br />
The deteriorating equipment<br />
will be transformed into a fullscale<br />
playground.<br />
It will consist of new swings,<br />
a carousal, rocking horse, maypole,<br />
talk tubes and a see-saw,<br />
with astroturf as the surface.<br />
The playground renewal<br />
landscape plan was approved by<br />
the Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board last Wednesday.<br />
Located on Abberley Crescent,<br />
the current playground on the<br />
east side of the park includes a<br />
swing, slide, ramp and see-saw.<br />
Following investigations, the<br />
city council found the existing<br />
play equipment did not meet the<br />
Playground Standards.<br />
Safety issues found included<br />
the swings rusting around the<br />
leg support, while both slide<br />
chutes were too shallow, which<br />
could lead to a child falling off<br />
the slide.<br />
But St Albans residents were<br />
concerned by the amount of<br />
green space the park would lose<br />
as a result of the playground<br />
expansion.<br />
The existing green space by<br />
CHANGE: Layout plan for the<br />
playground to be upgraded at<br />
Abberley Park. <br />
the playground is about 1473m2,<br />
with the new playground expected<br />
to reduce it to about 1349m2.<br />
St Albans Residents’ Association<br />
co-chair Emma Twaddell<br />
said the city council’s consultation<br />
process caused confusion<br />
with the residents.<br />
“There were different plans<br />
put out that didn’t have the same<br />
information put on them,” she<br />
said.<br />
She said the main issue was the<br />
extension of the playground being<br />
at the expense of other park<br />
users.<br />
From the 1300 leaflets delivered,<br />
the city council received 98<br />
submissions with <strong>20</strong> opposing<br />
the proposal and 11 not stating<br />
their preference.<br />

will undergo a makeover to meet New Zealand Playground<br />
Standards.<br />
NO. 13 HARCOURTS NEW ZEALAND <strong>20</strong>12-<strong>20</strong>13<br />
community manager Darren<br />
Moses said the layout of the playground<br />
was changed by moving<br />
equipment further west in the<br />
park.<br />
This created a more linear<br />
playground along the south<br />
boundary leaving a larger lawn<br />
area than what was in the original<br />
plan.<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board chairman Mike Davidson<br />
said while they could not please<br />
everyone, a decision needed to be<br />
made.<br />
“It has to be renewed...unfortunately<br />
you can’t just leave them<br />
and hope nothing 3 happens, because<br />
if something does happen<br />
then someone is obviously going<br />
to be held accountable,” he said.<br />
Construction for the playground<br />
is expected to begin in<br />
March and be completed by May.<br />
Mr Moses said the cost of the<br />
playground could not be estimated<br />
until the tender process was<br />
finished and it was commercially<br />
sensitive.<br />

In Brief<br />
NOT ARSON<br />
A fire that caused millions of<br />
dollars in damage to a building<br />
in Burnside on Friday is not<br />
suspicious, according to a fire<br />
investigator. The building,<br />
owned by Tait Communications,<br />
suffered major damage after<br />
a light blew out, causing a<br />
fire while cleaners were at the<br />
site. Several appliances and 42<br />
firefighters fought the blaze<br />
and managed to save vital<br />
equipment.<br />
TWO TAKEN TO HOSPITAL<br />
Two men were taken to<br />
Christchurch Hospital with<br />
moderate injuries after the<br />
vehicle they were travelling<br />
in went off the road in Belfast<br />
on Sunday. St John sent two<br />
first response units and two<br />
ambulances to the scene on<br />
Radcliffe Rd at about 10.30pm.<br />
Both men were assessed and<br />
taken to hospital for further<br />
treatment.<br />
ROAD WORKS<br />
A road closure will be in place<br />
along Francis Ave between<br />
properties 38 and 54 while a new<br />
section of wastewater mainline<br />
is replaced over the next six<br />
weeks. The work will generate<br />
some low volume noise during<br />
the hours of 7am to 6pm.<br />
Parking will be restricted<br />
around the work area.<br />

Solutions to gridlock<br />
What should be done about the traffic<br />
congestion in the Papanui Ward,<br />
particularly along roads like Main<br />
North Rd, Cranford St and Papanui<br />
Rd? Is rail an option that should be<br />
pursued?<br />
John Stringer:<br />
Papanui Ward<br />
city council<br />
and community<br />
board<br />
candidate<br />
Explore HOV<br />
(high occupancy vehicle) use, or<br />
T2 as they call it in Auckland,<br />
of the bus lane on Papanui Rd.<br />
Use the largely unused lane at<br />
peak traffic times to help clear<br />
northbound bumper-to-bumper<br />
traffic out on to Main North Rd.<br />
Simon Britten: Papanui Ward<br />
community board candidate<br />
Reduction of traffic congestion<br />
has been a priority for the current<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board and, if elected, I will support<br />
continued work in this area. We can<br />
expect construction of the Northern Corridor<br />
to begin soon – this project will have a massive<br />
impact on traffic flows, and the new Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board will need to continue to work<br />
with affected residents. Rail as a commuter option<br />
was assessed unfavourably in <strong>20</strong>14, but alternative<br />
public transport options, such as light rail, need<br />
to be considered, as well as the board supporting<br />
ongoing work on cycleways and fine-tuning of the<br />
bus network.<br />
Elections 16<br />
Mike Davidson: Papanui Ward city council<br />
candidate<br />
The Christchurch Northern Corridor project will<br />
begin shortly and, when completed, will reduce<br />
congestion on Main North and Papanui Rds. As<br />
Chairperson of the Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board, I have been actively involved in addressing<br />
the impact this will have on Cranford St, surrounding streets<br />
and communities. Dedicated and continuous bus lanes and safe<br />
cycleways reduce congestion by encouraging people to use different<br />
transport options. When elected, I will continue the work I<br />
have already started around this issue, including the downstream<br />
effects of the Cranford St four-laning. I will also advocate for rail<br />
to be investigated as a long-term solution to congestion.<br />
Emma Norrish: Papanui Ward<br />
community board candidate<br />
The completion of the Northern<br />
Arterial and the Northern Arterial<br />
Extension will make a big difference<br />
to traffic patterns in the Papanui<br />
Ward. However, this is nearly<br />
four years away. Right now we need to incentivise<br />
other alternatives such as public transport,<br />
cycling and carpooling. I will lobby for bus lanes<br />
to be opened up to vehicles with more than one<br />
occupant to encourage carpooling. I also want<br />
to increase the publicity and education around<br />
the safe and direct cycleways currently being<br />
planned and constructed, and to be involved in<br />
ensuring these are designed and utilised to their<br />
full potential.<br />

With the October 8 deadline looming for the local body elections, the<br />
Nor’West <strong>News</strong> asked candidates to send in why they should get your vote.<br />
The area is covered by four wards - Innes, Papanui, Fendalton and Central.<br />
A city councillor is elected from each, except from Fendalton where city<br />
councillor Jamie Gough stands unopposed. Two are selected from each<br />
ward to be on the community board, apart from Innes where Ali Jones and Jo<br />
Byrne stood unopposed.<br />
Pauline Cotter:<br />
Innes Ward - city<br />
councillor<br />
Our council succeeded<br />
in restoring<br />
relationships with the<br />
Crown, Ngai Tahu, Environment<br />
Canterbury ,Canterbury District<br />
Health Board, and is working<br />
collaboratively with our communities,<br />
adopting an enabling<br />
attitude. The long awaited decision<br />
allowing the Edgeware Pool<br />
Group to rebuild their community<br />
pool is but one example. The<br />
People’s Choice have successfully<br />
retained our assets, while still<br />
progressing the rebuild, keeping<br />
rates increases low. I look<br />
for opportunities to enhance our<br />
water quality within our land<br />
drainage recovery programme,<br />
am passionate about safe guarding<br />
of our pure water. Allocations<br />
must be monitored, enforcements<br />
applied, consents more<br />
realistic. I offer representation<br />
with compassion, logic, financial<br />
prudence.<br />

Mike Davidson:<br />
Papanui Ward -<br />
city councillor<br />
As the current<br />
Chairperson of the<br />
Shirley/Papanui<br />
Community Board I have worked<br />
hard to advocate for local residents<br />
and communities. Having<br />
lived locally for over <strong>20</strong> years, I<br />
know our ward. Recent boundaries<br />
changes have pushed me just<br />
outside of our ward, but my affiliation<br />
is with this area and I want<br />
to continue to represent you, our<br />
many communities and our city.<br />
I am an independent candidate. I<br />
bring experience, local knowledge,<br />
business acumen, leadership and<br />
energy. Your support will ensure<br />
that I can continue the work I<br />
have already started and allow our<br />
city to keep moving forward.<br />
Elections 16<br />
Raf Manji:<br />
Waimairi Ward -<br />
city councillor<br />
As Chair of Strategy<br />
and Finance, I have<br />
helped guide the<br />
council through a difficult time.<br />
Our complex financial situation<br />
has been clarified and stabilized.<br />
There are still many challenges<br />
ahead: trying to keep a lid on and<br />
reduce rates increases, finishing<br />
the repairs to our roads and footpaths,<br />
restoring our community<br />
infrastructure and facilities, and<br />
devolving more decision making<br />
to the local level. I will be supporting<br />
more residential development<br />
in the central city and that<br />
the red zone must be restored in<br />
an ecologically sustainable manner<br />
in order to make it a longterm<br />
asset for the city.”<br />
Anthony Rimmell:<br />
Waimairi Ward -<br />
city councillor<br />
I am passionate<br />
about empowering<br />
local communities to<br />
make decisions for their future.<br />
As a Baptist pastor, I want to see<br />
our city council work together for<br />
the interests of all the people of<br />
Christchurch. I believe our city’s<br />
future financial and social security<br />
is best protected by keeping<br />
our key income-generating assets<br />
in council ownership, and by<br />
ensuring quality, affordable housing<br />
is available for all.<br />
Together, we can protect and<br />
enhance our waterways and<br />
parks. If elected I’ll advocate<br />
passionately for the needs of residents<br />
in Waimairi.<br />

‘Army’ to the rescue<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
Tuesday <strong>September</strong> <strong>20</strong> <strong>20</strong>16<br />
THE PLIGHT of children<br />
rescued from their homes<br />
by Child, Youth and Family,<br />
sometimes with nothing but<br />
the clothes on their back, has<br />
mobilised an army.<br />
“Paddy’s Army”, that is – a<br />
group of about 25 St Patrick’s<br />
School pupils in Bryndwr who<br />
have collected almost 150 pairs of<br />
pyjamas to give to foster children.<br />
The pyjamas will be included in<br />
backpacks made up by volunteer<br />
group Foster Hope Christchurch,<br />
which also include things like<br />
toiletries, books and soft toys.<br />
Co-ordinator Ngarie Worsley<br />
said the packs were personalised<br />
for each foster child, to try to make<br />
them feel loved and valued at a<br />
rough point in their lives, when<br />
they had to leave their own homes<br />
to move in with a foster family.<br />
“We used to see children come<br />
with garbage bags full of stuff,<br />
and if your stuff is in a garbage<br />
bag you don’t exactly feel so<br />
great,” she said.<br />
The St Patrick’s pupils were<br />
inspired to help by the stories<br />
of one of their classmates, who<br />
was a foster child, Paddy’s Army<br />
member Izzy Gibson said.<br />
“We thought that we’re so<br />

raised money to buy for foster children. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
lucky to have all the things that<br />
we have, when some people are<br />
being taken out of their homes<br />
in the middle of the night to go<br />
to a family that they don’t even<br />
know,” she said.<br />
They created posters, spoke in assembly<br />
to inspire their fellow pupils<br />
to help, and did “a lot of nagging”<br />
to collect the pyjamas, fellow army<br />
member Kate Wield said.<br />
In the past, the pupils have<br />
organised a blanket collection for<br />
St Vincent de Paul, and they plan<br />
to do more to help local charities<br />
in the future.<br />
Mrs Worsley said the pupils’<br />
effort would make a huge difference<br />
to Foster Hope, which works<br />
to put together about 5000 packs<br />
each year.<br />
“It just blows my mind and I<br />
think it’s incredible, because 150<br />
pairs of pyjamas means that we<br />
can more than do what we need<br />
to do this year,” she said.<br />
She said the charity still needed<br />
donations of things like toiletries,<br />
small toys or craft activities.<br />

Collins (right) following a ball<br />
held recently for her.<br />
Maddie Collins is in need<br />
of a kidney transplant and her<br />
best hopes of finding a suitable<br />
match require her to travel to<br />
the United States. The trip is<br />
expected to cost $350,000.<br />
The ball was held on <strong>September</strong><br />
3 and the money was raised<br />
from ticket sales, donations<br />
and an auction.<br />
Fundraising efforts continue<br />
with a national mufti day<br />
planned for tomorrow.<br />
West Melton School is joining<br />
the fundraising efforts to<br />
help ex-pupil Maddie, who lives<br />
in the area.<br />
The event has been put<br />
together for schools and businesses<br />
across the country to get<br />
involved in.<br />
West Melton School principal<br />
Sue Jackson said the school<br />
had no hesitation in getting<br />
involved in ‘Mufti Day for<br />
Maddie.’<br />
“We were touched by Maddie<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
and her family when she was<br />
a student here. Maddie is such<br />
a wonderful girl who has so<br />
much to offer. Taking part in<br />
this event is the least we can do.<br />
“We often have mufti days<br />
for good causes. I can’t think<br />
of a better one than this,” Mrs<br />
Jackson said.<br />
The mufti day is a fundraising<br />
event held across the country<br />
for schools and businesses<br />
to help raise the money needed<br />
for Maddie to get to the US.<br />

Spectacular night under<br />
the stars raises $10,000<br />
OPENING: Pupils from Harewood School were excited to<br />
be involved in the opening of the Russley Rd underpass last<br />
week. Aidan Brannan (below left), of McConnell Dowell and<br />
Downer, and school leaders Jacob Frost and Brianna Gauci,<br />
both aged 10, buried a time capsule with New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency southern region director Jim Harland.<br />
The time capsule included stories the pupils had written.<br />
The new underpass allows cyclists and walkers to safely<br />
get across the road. The New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
is undertaking $112 million worth of upgrades to the road<br />
which is expected to be completed in <strong>20</strong>18.<br />

AN EXCITING night out with<br />

Open Air School with about<br />
1<strong>20</strong>0 people showing up to the<br />
event.<br />
The Spectacular Space and<br />
Science Night was held last<br />
Friday to raise money so the<br />
school can further advance its<br />
outdoor spaces.<br />
Robots, the Martin Jetpack,<br />
a planetarium and hand-made<br />
rockets were just some of the fun<br />
activities featured at the event.<br />
Fendalton School parent<br />
teachers association member<br />
Sarah Bourke said about $10,000<br />
was raised from the evening.<br />
“It was brilliant. There was the<br />
most amazing community buzz<br />
around the place,” she said.<br />
Mrs Bourke said the event<br />
brought a diverse range of<br />
people together with the Chinese<br />
community making dumplings<br />
and Japanese making sushi.<br />
While it has not been decided<br />
what type of spaces the money<br />
will go towards, the school is<br />
looking at options including<br />
gardens, outdoor furniture,<br />
landscaping and painting<br />
murals.<br />

Airport Business Park<br />

Christchurch 8042<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A MUSICAL director from<br />
Merivale has played a key<br />
role in preparing one of New<br />
Zealand’s longest running<br />
choirs for a production of<br />
Evita.<br />
Music director Angus<br />
Simmons, <strong>20</strong>, has not only<br />
taught the Christchurch<br />
Boys’ Choir the music, but<br />
also plays an aristocrat in the<br />
production.<br />
The choir, which has been<br />
singing for about 30 years, has<br />
been performing in Evita at<br />
the Isaac Theatre Royal since<br />
last Thursday.<br />
Made up of boys aged nine<br />
to 13, the choir represents a<br />
traditional 1950s Argentine<br />
church choir in a staged<br />
requiem mass.<br />
Simmons said the company<br />
was going to audition the<br />
group, but realised it was<br />
historically correct to have a<br />
choir made up of unbroken,<br />
treble male voices.<br />
“The boys’ singing is very<br />
angelic so the audience will<br />
appreciate it a lot,” he said.<br />
Simmons said, for some of<br />
the boys, it is their first time<br />
ever performing on stage in<br />
full costume.<br />
ON STAGE: The Christchurch Boys’ Choir rehearse for Evita, which is currently playing at<br />
the Isaac Theatre Royal.<br />
“They have risen to the<br />
occasion and know exactly<br />
where they stand and I think<br />
they will add to that cute<br />
factor people look for in<br />
shows,” he said.<br />
From the choir of 24 boys,<br />
12 will perform on alternative<br />
nights throughout the season.<br />
The choir’s aim is to give<br />
young singers an opportunity<br />
to be exposed to the music<br />
community. In the past,<br />
they have performed<br />
with the Christchurch<br />
Symphony Orchestra and the<br />
Christchurch City Choir.<br />
Simmons has run the choir<br />
since the beginning of last<br />
year along with his partner<br />
Kimberley Wood.<br />
The rock opera follows the<br />
life of Eva Peron, the second<br />
wife of Argentine president<br />
Juan Peron.<br />
Eva served as the first lady of<br />
Argentina from 1946 until her<br />
untimely death at the age of 33<br />
in 1952.<br />
“The show portrays her in a<br />
light that isn’t positive. Some<br />
people loved her and some<br />
people despised her so you<br />
have to make up your mind,”<br />
Simmons said.<br />
Simmons wants to become a<br />
professional opera singer. He is<br />
studying a bachelor of music,<br />
majoring in performance<br />
voice, at Canterbury<br />
University,<br />
“I am hoping to live a<br />
life of music. Performing<br />
would be ideal but I am not<br />
shutting down any other<br />
opportunities whether it<br />
is directing in choirs or<br />
whatever,” he said.<br />

Catwalk to fight breast cancer<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
SEVEN NEW Zealand women,<br />
on average, will hear the news<br />
today that they have breast<br />
cancer.<br />
Breast Cancer Cure is trying<br />
to help reduce that statistic<br />
by holding a fashion show in<br />
Christchurch, and around the<br />
country, with New Zealand’s<br />
biggest designers.<br />
The nationwide Fashion for a<br />
Cure charity show on Thursday<br />
will display collections from<br />
Kiwi designers to raise funds for<br />
breast cancer research.<br />
Breast Cancer Cure general<br />
manager Phillipa Green said the<br />
event is important as it provides<br />
financial support for ongoing<br />
study.<br />
“This show is absolutely vital<br />
for us. It’s our biggest earner and<br />
it’s important because we don’t<br />
do a bucket collection day or<br />
fundraising week so this is one<br />
of the ways that we raise a lot of<br />
money from the public. They’re<br />
actually donating it and getting a<br />
lot back in return,” she said.<br />
A pool of high-end designers<br />
from around the country will<br />
light up the Christchurch Art<br />
Gallery on <strong>September</strong> 22.<br />

Trelise Cooper, Working Style<br />
and Zambesi will all show their<br />
Spring/Summer collections on<br />
the catwalk.<br />
It’s the first time Elisabeth<br />
Findlay’s Zambesi will appear at<br />
the Christchurch show and she’ll<br />
be bringing a range men’s and<br />
women’s clothes to the table.<br />
Designers will also donate<br />
items from the show to put up<br />
for auction to add to the money<br />
pot.<br />
New Zealand Familial Breast<br />
Cancer Study co-ordinator Dr<br />
Logan Walker will also speak to<br />
the audience about the organisations<br />
ongoing research.<br />
“One of the main pillars for<br />
our fundraising throughout<br />
the year is to connect with<br />
more New Zealanders around<br />
the country and not just be an<br />
Auckland-based charity. This is<br />
a way to reach out to people,” Ms<br />
Green said.<br />
More than $250,000 was raised<br />
from all five shows in <strong>20</strong>15 and<br />
the charity want to crack the<br />
$300,000 mark this year.<br />
“Just from Christchurch,<br />
we would like to get over the<br />
$50,000 mark,” she said.<br />
Fashion for a Cure has been<br />
running since <strong>20</strong>12.<br />
Breast cancer is the most<br />
common cancer for women, and<br />
the third most common cancer<br />
overall.<br />
The disease affects one in<br />
nine New Zealand women over<br />
their lifetime and more than<br />
600 women die from it every<br />
year.<br />
Christchurch’s Fashion for<br />
a Cure show will be hosted by<br />

Looking<br />
good at<br />
the races<br />
IT’S FUN to strut your stuff<br />
and have a good time at the<br />
races, but as Vania Bailey says,<br />
don’t forget etiquette.<br />
“You don’t want to be a show<br />
pony. You need to look polished<br />
but most importantly you need<br />
to feel comfortable in your own<br />
skin.<br />
“Don’t reveal too much.<br />
Remember the rules – if you<br />
are showing off a bit of cleavage<br />
then wear a longer skirt. If you<br />
have a long split in your dress<br />
don’t show off your chest. Don’t<br />
have everything on show – be<br />
discreet.<br />
“Accessories are important to<br />
pull your outfit together – shoes,<br />
short gloves and a matching<br />
fascinator or hat.<br />
“If you are going to wear<br />
something fitted make sure you<br />
wear the right garments underneath<br />
so there are no outlines or<br />
bumps.<br />
“If you decide on a spray tan,<br />
have a trial a few weeks before.<br />
You don’t want to turn orange<br />
on the day. Book your hair, nails<br />
and makeup in advance.”<br />
Airline uniforms land in city<br />
AN AWARD-WINNING<br />
exhibition that looks at the<br />
uniforms, aircraft and stories<br />
of the country’s flagship airline<br />
opened in Christchurch last<br />
weekend.<br />
Air New Zealand 75 Years. Our<br />

is an exhibition at Canterbury<br />
Museum celebrating the airline’s<br />
75th anniversary.<br />
It has already been on display<br />
at Te Papa in Wellington, and<br />
Auckland War Memorial<br />
Museum, attracting 677,000<br />
visitors.<br />
The exhibition begins with a<br />
look at Air New Zealand’s uniform<br />
designs over the years, as<br />
well as traveller and crew stories.<br />

It moves into the aircraft and<br />
flight aspect of the airline’s history,<br />
including the TEAL flying<br />
boat era, and the early days of<br />
flight in Canterbury.<br />
The story of former Christchurch<br />
Mayor Henry Wigram’s flying<br />

Stewart’s involvement with<br />
the Canterbury Aero Club are<br />
explored.<br />
It also looks at tourism pioneer<br />

The exhibition also features a<br />

Ensuring a safe work place<br />
Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />
work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />
wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />
in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />
but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />
on to the sports field?<br />
not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />
can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />
does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />
service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />
course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />
take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />
risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />
to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />
of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />
risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />
spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />
hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />
26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />
hypothermia and poisonings.<br />
The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />
fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />
common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />
are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />
australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />
or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />
behind those in the workplace.<br />
The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />
6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />
environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />
deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result<br />
in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />
such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />
if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask<br />
your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />
course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />
Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your<br />
location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is<br />
up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where<br />
it is located.<br />

IN A first for tennis in<br />
Canterbury, Waimairi<br />
Tennis Club will offer<br />
two novel coaching<br />
programmes this summer<br />
– one conducted in<br />
Mandarin, and the other<br />
for pre-schoolers.<br />
Club senior coach Adam<br />
Gard’ner, who has some<br />
Chinese Mandarin skills,<br />
saw an opportunity for<br />
Christchurch’s expanding<br />
Mandarin-speaking community<br />
to get involved in<br />
tennis.<br />
“Many new people to the<br />
city are looking for ways<br />
to meet up with others, to<br />
have fun and to exercise,<br />
and this programme will<br />
provide exactly those opportunities.<br />
It’s a ‘learn to<br />
play programme’ and it is<br />
based on Tennis New Zealand’s<br />
‘Tennis Xpress’ programme<br />
for learners and<br />
intermediate level players.<br />
The big difference though,<br />
is that it will be delivered<br />
predominantly in the<br />
Mandarin language,” said<br />
Gard’ner<br />
Shanghai, China was<br />
home to Gard’ner and his<br />
family for 12 years while<br />
he was involved in tennis<br />
management at the Shanghai<br />
Racquet Club, and<br />
coach development with<br />
the Professional Tennis<br />
Registry.<br />
“There’s a real passion<br />
for tennis in China and<br />
players like Li Na are like<br />
superstars. We’re sure that<br />
local Mandarin speakers<br />
will be just as enthusiastic<br />
about our programme,”<br />
says Gard’ner.<br />

Breaking the language<br />
barrier for tennis players<br />
PROGRAMME: Waimairi Tennis Club senior coach<br />
Adam Gard’ner will bring a new flavour to tennis<br />
coaching this season, coaching in Mandarin <br />
president, Lloyd Russell<br />
says the idea to introduce<br />
the Mandarin speaking<br />
coaching is a fantastic opportunity<br />
for the club.<br />
“Having Adam with his<br />
Mandarin language skills<br />
seemed a great chance<br />
to further our efforts to<br />
attract a new sector of<br />
players. We’re sure this<br />
programme will be a hit<br />
with the Christchurch<br />
community,” said Russell.<br />
Waimairi Tennis Club<br />
will also offer a new Tennis<br />
Hotshots ‘Blue Stage’<br />
programme this summer.<br />
Russell says it will provide<br />
three to five-year-olds with<br />
an eight-session introductory<br />
programme that<br />
focuses on fundamental<br />
perceptual motor skills,<br />
building movement, ball<br />
and racquet skills.<br />
With a total of 500<br />
members – juniors and<br />
seniors – the club is the<br />
largest in Canterbury.<br />
Each season it enters<br />
upward of 11 senior and<br />
35 junior teams in Canterbury<br />
Tennis competitions.<br />

pains and health conditions. It is known<br />
as ‘acupuncture without needles’.<br />
Lan describes it as being similar to<br />
reflexology in that the problem area on<br />
the body is determined through pressure,<br />
but is much more accurate.<br />
Trained as a medical practitioner in<br />
China, Lan came to New Zealand in 1992<br />
and began practising acupuncture in<br />
1995. From that discipline she created her<br />
acupuncture without needles, and uses<br />
it to treat people of all ages with many<br />
different types of pain in all parts of the<br />
body. This can include arthritic pain, MS,<br />
and pain from injury.<br />
“For example, the treatment has been<br />
very successful for people who have<br />
painful joints caused by arthritis,” Lan<br />
says.<br />
Acupuncture without needles is also<br />
effective in restoring energy levels,<br />
she says.<br />
“As people age their energy is reduced,<br />
and this can lead to other health<br />
problems. The acupuncture without<br />
needles treatment is like the body’s<br />
battery being charged up again, so their<br />
energy levels are restored, which in turn<br />
helps overcome their health problems.”<br />
Lan also uses it to treat depression<br />
and anxiety, and says it can help with<br />
addiction problems as well.<br />
“After the treatment the person has no<br />
cravings – because it treats the cause of<br />
the addiction.”<br />
She says the results are immediate,<br />
though people may need several<br />
treatments, depending on the extent<br />
of their health problem, and while it<br />
is slightly painful for few moments,<br />
everyone can tolerate it.<br />
Lan Xiao’s website, www.<br />
drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes<br />
videos of people whose health problems<br />
have been overcome after receiving the<br />
treatment.<br />
Her clinic is located at 108 Sawyers<br />
Arms Road, and her hours are Monday,<br />
Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to<br />
5pm. To discuss your health issues or<br />
make an appointment, phone 323 4168<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Research<br />
Supports<br />
Eye Health<br />
Nutritional researchers have discovered a range<br />
of nutrients that are essential for eye health. Some<br />
of the most essential nutrients that have been<br />
shown to protect and even improve eye function<br />
are:<br />
Selenium, is a trace mineral that is low in<br />
N.Z. soils and therefore in many of our foods.<br />
Researchers believe selenium may help prevent<br />
cataracts, macular degeneration (the leading cause<br />
of impaired vision in older people) and may also<br />
improve dry eyes and general eye health.<br />
Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage of the<br />
population are low in. Zinc has been shown to<br />
help protect the eyes from the damaging effects<br />
of light as well as slow vision loss due to macular<br />
degeneration.<br />
Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Beta-carotene<br />
(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have potent<br />
antioxidant ability and help protect the eyes from<br />
damage<br />
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing nutrients<br />
that have been shown in landmark research to<br />
not only provide potent eye protection but may<br />
even help reverse some of the signs of age-related<br />
macular degeneration (AMD).<br />
Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent<br />
antioxidants may help protect the lens and retina<br />
from damage and reduce the risk of cataracts. They<br />
also may help improve blood supply to the eye,<br />
strengthen the small capillaries of the eye and may<br />
help improve night vision, may alleviate many eye<br />
ailments including eye fatigue that may be caused<br />
by reading, driving and computers.<br />
Eyebright may help normalise eye pressure and<br />
reduce eye allergies.<br />
Taurine is an amino acid that is essential for<br />
correct eye function. It may also have a detoxifying<br />
affect on the eye.<br />
Vitamin B2 may help alleviate eye fatigue,<br />
bloodshot eyes and maintain good vision.<br />
Yumberry is the latest in eye protection. It<br />
provides many nutrients, is rich in oligomeric<br />
proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) that are potent<br />
antioxidants that may protect eyesight.<br />
These nutrients taken in a therapeutic amount<br />
should provide comprehensive eye protection, may<br />
slow and possibly even help reverse eye damage<br />
that could lead to loss of vision. All these nutrients<br />
are available in an economical one a day easy to<br />
swallow capsule.<br />

SUPER CitriMax<br />
CLINICAL STRENGTH GARCINIA CAMBOGIA<br />
According to Dr. Oz an extract of Garcinia Cambogia, (a small<br />
pumpkin-like fruit) called Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) or CitriMax,<br />
is the most effective & fastest working natural supplement to<br />
support weight loss.<br />
Researchers found it:<br />
• Helps stop fat being made & stored in the body<br />
• Suppresses appetite & cravings. Feel fuller for longer<br />
• Increases energy levels & lean muscle mass<br />
• Increases Serotonin levels in the brain, especially good for<br />
emotional eaters. Serotonin may also improve mood & sleep.<br />
• Improves cholesterol & blood lipid levels<br />
Swanson Super CitriMax is a unique patented extract that<br />
is highly bio-available & clinically proven for reliable results.<br />
Care For Your Joints<br />
They’re critical to remain<br />
healthy and mobile<br />
Refuse to accept joint pain and stiffness as part of life. Do<br />
the work to maintain and support your joints to get the<br />
best out of them for as long as possible.<br />
Research from Johns Hopkins<br />
University confirms that in the<br />
treatment of arthritis, exercise and<br />
physical activity has many benefits.<br />
• Regular exercise helps keep<br />
muscles around the joints strong,<br />
decrease bone loss and control joint<br />
swelling and pain.<br />
• Strengthening the muscles<br />
surrounding affected joints helps<br />
to relieve pressure on the joint and<br />
cartilage.<br />
• Regular exercise helps replenish<br />
lubrication of the joint cartilage and<br />
reduces stiffness and pain.<br />
• Lack of physical activity is<br />
associated with increased muscle<br />
weakness, joint stiffness, reduced<br />
range of motion and fatigue<br />
• Exercise needs to be directed at<br />
the entire body and not just the joints<br />
that are affected with arthritis.<br />
The golden rule for joint health -<br />
Keep moving!<br />
The more you move<br />
the less pain and<br />
stiffness you will have.<br />

Enjoy unique shopping to be found at Women’s Expo<br />
With over <strong>20</strong>0 sites to browse, unique businesses to discover,<br />
shopping, bargains and laughter, the Expo is the ultimate day<br />
out for every woman.<br />
One of the appeals the Expo has to<br />
visitors is the variety of companies<br />
involved with everything from<br />
jewellery and shoes to activewear<br />
and fitness to skincare and health<br />
products to gourmet food and wine<br />
and even a company offering plantbased<br />
cooking classes for Kids &<br />
Adults. There really is something for<br />
everyone and all ages.<br />
Renee Murray from NZME Events,<br />
organiser of the Expo says “Our<br />
aim is to have as wide of a range<br />
of companies involved with the<br />
Expo as possible. Women are all<br />
different and their individual interests<br />
are so diverse. One woman<br />
may love the latest in makeup or<br />
skincare but the woman beside<br />
her may be more interested in<br />
cycling the Otago Central Rail Trail<br />
or sampling handmade cheese.<br />
It’s great on the weekend to see<br />
all the various women visit the<br />
show, from teenagers to business<br />
women, mothers to grandmothers<br />
and friends simply enjoying each<br />
other’s company. It’s becoming<br />
more common for us to see three<br />
generations visit the Expo together<br />
as well, with the daughter, mother<br />
and grandmother all enjoying the<br />
show and spending the day with<br />
each other.”<br />
