Sisters have<br />
big plans<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding,<br />
Andrew King<br />
SISTERS CATHERINE Chu and<br />
Linda Chen have made their entrance<br />
into local body politics at the same<br />
time but on different community<br />
boards.<br />
At 20-years-old Miss Chu is the<br />
youngest community board member<br />
in the city, representing Riccarton,<br />
while sister Ms Chen, 27, was elected<br />
to represent Harewood.<br />
Ms Chen received 3391 votes to<br />
take her place on the Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood Community<br />
Board.<br />
Aaron Campbell will take the spot<br />
after receiving 2602 votes.<br />
Miss Chu, a Westpac business bank<br />
manager, received 2074 votes getting<br />
the nod alongside long-time local<br />
body politician Helen Broughton<br />
receiving 2457 to take the two spots<br />
on the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board.<br />
Ms Chen moved to New Zealand<br />
with her parents from South Korea<br />
when she was five-years-old while<br />
Miss Chu was born in Christchurch.<br />
Both sisters said they were “very excited”<br />
to be on the community board.<br />
Said Ms Chen: “I am very excited<br />
my sister is on a community board as<br />
well as she is so young.”<br />
She said her priority is to get traffic<br />
lights for the Breens, Gardiners and<br />
Harewood Rds intersection.<br />
“I am hoping, being the youngest<br />
on the Harewood board, to utilise that<br />
youth and energy and be that approachable<br />
person that really makes a<br />
difference,” she said.<br />
At the top of Miss Chu’s list is to<br />
bring ethnic groups together, and deal<br />
with traffic congestion and parking<br />
issues.<br />
Having a strong interest in foreign<br />
language and culture, Miss Chu has<br />
been studying Chinese and Japanese<br />
part time at Canterbury University on<br />
top of her job.<br />
“From a really young age I had<br />
enjoyed listening to other people and<br />
I was really excited when I knew I<br />
could be able to help people make<br />
their lives better,” Miss Chu said.<br />

AARON KEOWN is back. After<br />
losing his seat in the 2013 local<br />
body elections, the outspoken<br />
Mr Keown heads back to the city<br />
council table for the Harewood<br />
ward. Former Shirley-Papanui<br />
Community Board chairman<br />
Mike Davidson has been<br />
promoted to city councillor<br />
for the Papanui ward. Other<br />
than that it is business as usual,<br />
with Crs Pauline Cotter and<br />
Raf Manji retaining their seats<br />
and Cr Jamie Gough elected<br />
unopposed.<br />
There are some new faces on<br />
the community boards, though,<br />
including John Stringer for<br />
Papanui, Sam MacDonald and<br />
Shirish Paranjape for Waimairi.<br />
Mayor-elect Lianne Dalziel has<br />
made it clear that these boards<br />
should be given more power –<br />
let’s hope this happens.<br />

MATT DOOCEY<br />
MP FOR WAIMAKARIRI<br />
CHAT WITH MATT<br />
Waimakariri electorate is a dynamic<br />
place to represent. Looking back over<br />
the past two years on the second<br />
anniversary of being elected as local<br />
MP, I can say that the electorate’s<br />
rapid growth, mix of peri-urban and<br />
rural areas, and vibrant regeneration<br />
post-earthquake presented a unique<br />
set of circumstances which shaped my<br />
response as MP.<br />
Based on my experience during my<br />
first year, I learnt it is important for an<br />
MP to keep connected to a range of<br />
communities across the electorate at<br />
ground level, picking up on issues that<br />
are relevant to constituents.<br />
And I’m not afraid to try new ways<br />
to keep connected. My mid-winter<br />
evening meetings allowed me to<br />
meet people on their patch at a time<br />
that suits them. I also enjoy creating<br />
opportunities to meet with different<br />
demographic groups, including<br />
business, superannuates and youth.<br />
Funded by Parliamentary Service and authorised by<br />
Matt Doocey MP, 130A Percival St, Rangiora.<br />
By the end of this year, I would have<br />
invited over 12,000 superannuates to<br />
meet with me at my over 65s coffee<br />
mornings.<br />
The opening of my Belfast office<br />
on 17 <strong>October</strong> will help me be more<br />
accessible to my constituents in<br />
Northern Christchurch. I will retain<br />
my offices in Kaiapoi and Rangiora,<br />
as well as my constituent community<br />
caravan in Woodend and Rangiora. I<br />
look forward to meeting with you in<br />
my new office.<br />
I enjoyed collecting for Arthritis New<br />
Zealand recently in Northwood and<br />
catching up in passing with familiar<br />
faces from my community constituent<br />
caravan, my coffee mornings in<br />
Belfast, my youth roadshows in<br />
Northern Christchurch and my<br />
business meetings in the area. If<br />
you have a worthy cause you are<br />
fundraising for, remember I am here<br />
to help.<br />

Keown back on the council benches<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
AFTER THREE years on the<br />
council table sideline, Aaron<br />
Keown is back.<br />
Mr Keown was elected onto<br />
the Sir Bob Parker council in<br />
2010 before losing in the 2013<br />
election.<br />
But on Saturday, he was returned<br />
as Harewood Ward councillor<br />
with 2934 votes, ahead<br />
of Faimeh Burke (1651), Brian<br />
Garguilo (1008), Rod S Cameron<br />
(466) and Rod D Cameron (241).<br />
He has also been re-elected to<br />
the Canterbury District Health<br />
Board.<br />
Mr Keown said one of his<br />
priorities would be to try and<br />
reconnect the city council with<br />
the Minister supporting Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration,<br />
Gerry Brownlee.<br />
“I will be more vocal with the<br />
Government and the first thing<br />
I will ask minister Brownlee is if<br />
we can get regular meetings with<br />
the city councillors and community<br />
board members,” he said.<br />
Mr Keown said when he was<br />
a city councillor between 2010-<br />
2013, there were regular meetings<br />
with Mr Brownlee and the<br />
city council.<br />
That had not happened in the<br />
council’s last term, he said.<br />
He also wants Christchurch to<br />
be a focal point for movie making<br />
to help bring more innovative<br />
jobs to the city.<br />
Roads, rates, waterway protection<br />
would also be a priority.<br />
Innes Ward’s Pauline Cotter<br />
was re-elected onto the council<br />
table with 3814 votes, ahead of<br />
her only rival, Mel Rodricks<br />
(755).<br />
Cr Cotter said this term is<br />
about reaping the rewards of the<br />
hard work they did last term.<br />
The Papanui Ward will be represented<br />
by new councillor Mike<br />
Davidson, who received 3305<br />
votes from former Conservative<br />
Party chairman John Stringer<br />
(2356).<br />
He said it was great to make<br />
the step up from his role as<br />
chairman of the now defunct<br />
Shirley-Papanui Community<br />
Board.<br />
He is the son of Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel’s husband Rob Davidson.<br />
Mr Davidson’s priorities will<br />
be centred around improving<br />
traffic conditions in the north of<br />
the city as well as keeping rates<br />
low.<br />
Raf Manji (4073) will have<br />
another three years at the table<br />
winning by 2320 votes over<br />
Anthony Rimell (1753) in the<br />
Waimairi Ward.<br />
“It is a new day for this council,<br />
we don’t have as many problems<br />
as we did three years ago so it<br />
is about moving forward,” Cr<br />
Manji said.<br />

Community Board becomes the<br />

Board becomes the Papanui-<br />
Innes Community Board.<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
has four new faces joining two<br />
returning from last term.<br />
Bridget Williams (4838) and<br />
David Cartwright (3935) were<br />
re-elected in the Fendalton<br />
Ward and will be joined by city<br />
councillor Jamie Gough who was<br />
elected unopposed.<br />
Sam MacDonald (3398) and<br />
Shirish Paranjape (2840) will<br />
represent the Waimairi Ward.<br />
The Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board has one<br />
new-comer, Mr Stringer (2553)<br />
getting the nod in the Papanui<br />
Ward.<br />
He will join former city councillor<br />
Ali Jones and Jo Byrne,<br />
who were elected unopposed,<br />
and Emma Norrish (3567), all of<br />
who were on the Shirley-Papanui<br />
Community Board last term.<br />

GARDENING IS about patience<br />
and dedication, something<br />
Northwood resident Peter<br />
Lawrence has in spades.<br />
He won the Andrews Cup<br />
open class award in the Christchurch<br />
Beautifying Association<br />
Spring Garden Competition.<br />
Mr Lawrence has been entering<br />
his gardens in competitions<br />
since 1973 and said he normally<br />
enjoys a “good success rate.”<br />
“It is nice to be recognised<br />
for the hard work that goes into<br />
preparing a garden good enough<br />
to enter,” he said.<br />
His work does not just stay in<br />
the confines of his own yard – he<br />
gets about the neighbourhood<br />
taking care of other residents’<br />
lawns, planting roadside flowers,<br />
and even convincing the city<br />
council last year to plant some<br />
trees on the street.<br />
“It is about giving back to<br />
where you live,” he said.<br />
There is no money exchanged<br />
for his services, but he has scored<br />
the odd cup of tea here and there.<br />
Unfortunately, Mr Lawrence<br />

as he is building a new house on<br />
his property, which means he<br />

Runners-up Janet and Brian<br />
Lovelock said it will be a shame<br />
to not have their old rival, Mr<br />
Lawrence, competing with them.<br />
“He beat us by one point this<br />
year,” she said.<br />

rivalry over the years.<br />

Village wins gold<br />
MERIVALE Retirement Village<br />
has won gold in the Canterbury<br />
Horticultural Society Spring<br />
Garden Awards thanks to one<br />
man’s dedication to making the<br />
grounds his own.<br />
Entries for the awards closed<br />
on September 28 and judging<br />
finished on <strong>October</strong> 2.<br />
Village gardener Joseph<br />
Austin has “pulled out all the<br />
stops” to get the gardens ready<br />
for the competition but, awards<br />
or not, he would have still<br />
had them in “gold condition”<br />
according to the regional<br />
manager for Merivale, Terrace<br />
View and Willowlea retirement<br />
villages Jon Amesbury RN.<br />
“He has done an amazing job<br />
and we are thrilled that he has<br />
been recognised,” he said.<br />
“It is so vital the grounds look<br />
good for the health and wellbeing<br />
of the residents.”<br />
Mr Austin is in his fourth year<br />
at the village and said the award<br />
made him feel like all his hard<br />
work had paid off.<br />
“I have always been interested<br />
in gardening, seeing all the<br />
colours and watching those in<br />
the village enjoy the flowers,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Amesbury said they were<br />
lucky to have such a dedicated<br />

Fighting cancer with fitness<br />
WHEN MAIREHAU resident<br />
Isobel Stout was diagnosed<br />
with breast cancer, fighting the<br />
disease and getting through the<br />
gruelling treatment regime was<br />
her main focus.<br />
Six months of chemotherapy,<br />
a double mastectomy and five<br />
weeks of radiation left her<br />
“absolutely shattered” and<br />
she was not prepared for the<br />
challenging transition back to<br />
everyday life.<br />
It was not until Ms Stout, 50,<br />
discovered a new exercise class<br />
for recovering breast cancer<br />
patients at St George’s Cancer<br />
Care Centre that she began to<br />
get her life back. Recently, she<br />
completed a charity bike ride<br />
up Coronet Peak, raising $4000<br />
for the Pinc & Steel Cancer<br />
Rehabilitation Trust.<br />
She is a senior environmental<br />
health officer at the city council<br />
and was one of the first patients<br />
to sign up to the initiative<br />
in which pilates, yoga and<br />
cardiovascular exercises are<br />
delivered by trained oncology<br />
physiotherapists.<br />
For Ms Stout, the main<br />
benefits of St George’s exercise<br />
classes were restoring confidence<br />
and getting her physical strength<br />
back after treatment.<br />
“I had no trust in myself<br />
ON HER FEET: Isobel Stout (left) discovered a new exercise<br />
class for recovering breast cancer patients and has been<br />
working with St George’s Cancer Care Centre oncology<br />
physiotherapist Julee Binns. <br />
anymore and didn’t know what<br />
I should or could do physically,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I had been pretty active<br />
before my diagnosis but it<br />
somehow didn’t feel right to be<br />
going back into that routine after<br />
what my body had been through<br />
during treatment and surgery.<br />
Forty-five other Christchurch<br />
women have since completed the<br />
10-week programme, which is<br />
offered free of charge to eligible<br />
patients due to funding from<br />
the New Zealand Breast Cancer<br />
Foundation and the Pinc & Steel<br />
Cancer Rehabilitation Trust.<br />
It is the only programme of<br />
its kind in Christchurch, and<br />
plans are in place to introduce<br />
a similar initiative for men<br />
recovering from prostate cancer.<br />
Oncology physiotherapist<br />
Julee Binns said there is a real<br />
need for cancer patients to have<br />
access to specialised exercise<br />
programmes post-treatment.<br />
“The side effects of cancer<br />
treatment, for example scarring<br />
and lymphedema, limit the<br />
ability to exercise and can have<br />
a big impact on quality of life,”<br />
she said.<br />
Practice manager Viv Ali said<br />
the clinic’s long-term vision is<br />
to develop a wider programme<br />
for patients that incorporates<br />
exercise, yoga and mindfulness.<br />
Exercise has been shown to<br />
improve outcomes for cancer<br />
patients both during and after<br />
treatment. Some benefits include<br />
decreased fatigue, an increased<br />
sense of well-being, improved<br />
functional ability and reduced<br />
risk of osteoporosis following<br />
chemotherapy.<br />
International studies of<br />
women diagnosed with breast<br />
cancer indicate a 50 to 53 per<br />
cent increased chance of survival<br />
if regular, moderate intensity<br />
exercise is undertaken.<br />
Zanzibar’s<br />
return to<br />
Merivale<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
ZANZIBAR IS coming back to<br />
Merivale.<br />
Bardello, which sits between<br />
Aikmans Bar and Eatery and JDV<br />
Cafe, Restaurant and Bar is being<br />
turned into a pizza and pasta<br />
restaurant and will be re-named<br />
Zanzibar.<br />
It was the name of Aikmans Bar<br />
and Eatery about 10 years ago,<br />
when it was owned by Bob Kyle<br />
and before it was reverted back to<br />
its original name.<br />
Renovations to the restaurant<br />
are currently being done. It is<br />
hoped it will be opened in about<br />
two weeks.<br />
Peter Edmonds, who owns<br />
the neighbouring JDV Cafe,<br />
Restaurant and Bar, bought both<br />
Aikmans and Bardello this year<br />
with Frank van Schaijik.<br />
Fendalton city councillor Jamie<br />
Gough said the name change was<br />
a blast from the past and brilliant<br />
news.<br />
He said Aikmans was named<br />
Zanzibar for a “long time.”<br />
“I always still incorrectly called<br />
it Zanzibar, long after it had<br />
changed,” he said.<br />
SCIRT programme on<br />
the home straight<br />
SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining<br />
walls is almost complete and we’re aiming to finish construction in December.<br />
The City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue completing ongoing<br />
repairs to the city's earthquake-damaged infrastructure after SCIRT.<br />
Progress in your neighbourhood<br />
• Fixing the Northern Relief, one of Christchurch’s biggest wastewater pipes running<br />
through Fendalton, Merivale and St Albans is more than halfway through and is<br />
scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.<br />
• Essential wastewater repairs in Aikmans Road in Merivale are progressing well and<br />
will be completed at the end of the year.<br />
• Repairs to the waste water networks in Papanui and Bryndwr will be finished<br />
by December.<br />
• St Albans’ work is progressing well, and will be finished by the end of December.<br />
Your support is helping us to get the job done.<br />

Rangi students forge relationships<br />
with island businesswomen<br />
RANGI RURU students<br />
have been bolstering their<br />
relationships with women in<br />
business in Samoa, spending two<br />
weeks immersed in the culture.<br />
The school has had a long<br />
time relationship with women in<br />
business in Samoa and students<br />
stayed in villages and visited<br />
workplaces in the Samoan Islands.<br />
Students were billeted in pairs<br />
with families in the village of<br />
Patamea, a small, rural village on<br />
the island of Savaii.<br />
Upon arriving in Apia, they<br />
met with Women in Business<br />
Development Organisation<br />
representatives and heard more<br />
about their business initiatives in<br />
the country.<br />
They worked alongside local<br />
people via their relationship with<br />
WIBDO which involved visiting<br />
a factory where coconut oil is<br />
processed for the Body Shop.<br />
They also saw how the mulberry<br />
tree is transformed into<br />
tapa cloth, a traditional form<br />
of Samoan clothing used for<br />
important ceremonial occasions<br />
and spending a day at the local<br />
primary school.<br />
Head of English Erin Fitzpatrick<br />
travelled with the 10-strong<br />
group and said it’s a great opportunity<br />
for the students to see up<br />

FORMING RELATIONSHIPS:<br />
Students were billeted in pairs<br />
with families in the village of<br />
Patamea, a small, rural village<br />
on the island of Savaii.<br />
of new businesses making a real<br />
difference to the quality of life<br />
and the independence of villagers<br />
here,” she said.<br />
“This is affecting the lives of<br />
women and girls for the better,<br />
which is an important thing for<br />
our students to see and be a part<br />
of.”<br />
“The conditions were basic,<br />
the families were very warm and<br />
welcoming, and there have been<br />
many laughs and lots of fun,” Ms<br />
Fitzpatrick said.<br />
GREAT SUCCESS: Lions clubs from around the<br />
city collaborated to raise $50,000 for Age Concern<br />
Canterbury’s new mini-van. <br />
SOS answered<br />
RICCARTON-Waimairi<br />
Lions were one of seven clubs<br />
around the city to respond<br />
to an “SOS” call from Age<br />
Concern Canterbury.<br />
The clubs pulled together<br />
$50,000 over a period of six<br />
months, enough to buy Age<br />
Concern a new 12-seater minivan.<br />
Keys to the mini-van were<br />
handed over to Age Concern<br />
representatives recently.<br />
Riccarton-Waimairi,<br />
Christchurch-Pegasus, Lyttelton,<br />
Ferrymead, Christchurch<br />
South, Christchurch-Seaview,<br />
and New Brighton clubs all<br />
pitched in an average of about<br />
$3000 each for the new van.<br />
New Brighton Lions Club<br />
member Warren Glassey said<br />
Age Concern Canterbury<br />
needed the van to provide<br />
transport for elderly locals<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
who had become “housebound”<br />
following the earthquakes.<br />
“Age Concern said there was<br />
a significant number of elderly<br />
people that were badly affected<br />
post-earthquakes that have<br />
now become housebound . . .<br />
we know it will be used for the<br />
next 15 years, five days a week<br />
at least,” he said.<br />
Within six months, the<br />
clubs raised the $50,000<br />
needed to purchase a new<br />
Ford Transit 12-seater<br />
mini-van. This included a<br />
$20,000 donation from an<br />
international Lions charitable<br />
trust.<br />
The last $10,000 came in the<br />
form of sponsorship from Colliers<br />
International; Chatswood<br />
Retirement Village, Opawa;<br />
and Willowlea Retirement Village,<br />
Shirley.<br />

Your Local Views<br />
Readers respond to<br />
an article on whether<br />
motorists should be<br />
charged for parking at<br />
Jellie Park Recreation and<br />
Sports Centre or be given<br />
free things if they cycle<br />
or take the bus, in a bid to<br />
reduce parking issues at<br />
the facility.<br />
Gary Knight, of Hoon Hay<br />
– While the issue of car parking<br />
fees at Jellie Park evolves as a<br />
platform of debate, reality must<br />
prevail.<br />
The innovation by the<br />
Fendalton-Waimari Community<br />
Board to offer free food, towels<br />
and discount cards for those<br />
choosing to cycle to this venue,<br />
while commendable, is rife with<br />
anomalies.<br />
It would be virtually impossible<br />
to police those who cycled also<br />
any arriving there and producing<br />
a helmet merely to capitalise on<br />
the discount offer.<br />
Cycling or utilising public<br />
transport will always be ongoing<br />
by those motivated to choose<br />
this option of travel, devoid of<br />
the necessity for discounts for<br />
this realistic decision.<br />
If <strong>11</strong>4 car parks is deemed<br />
insufficient to cater for 238,024<br />
personnel between the summer<br />
months of December 2015 and<br />
March <strong>2016</strong>, then the reality is to<br />
add more. However, charging a<br />
fee for them is a retrograde step<br />
and contravenes the very nature<br />
of a public amenity.<br />
The criteria of the 2015-2025<br />
Long Term City Council Plan to<br />
operate grants as a contributory<br />
factor towards community<br />
building is surely the catalyst<br />
for required funding of this<br />
community upgrade of extended<br />
car parking within projected<br />
council budgeting.<br />
Glynis Condon, Burnside<br />
– I am 74 years of age and go to<br />
Jellie Park five days a week for<br />
aqua exercise classes and I don’t<br />
think we should have to pay for<br />
parking at the pool.<br />
There are all ages and abilities<br />
that go to the park be it for the<br />
gym or the pool and I can’t<br />
imagine that most of them<br />
would want to bike to their<br />
classes.<br />
A lot of the people who attend<br />
the classes I go to are retired and<br />
travel many kilometres to attend<br />
the classes, or do not live on a<br />
bus route that would take them<br />
to Jellie Park.<br />
Some of the people who<br />
attend classes at Jellie Park are<br />
recovering from hip or knee<br />
replacements and I don’t think<br />
their surgeons would be pleased<br />
to know that they are riding a<br />
bike after all their expertise in<br />
fixing their limbs.<br />
The income of the cafe there<br />
would suffer also as most of us<br />
have coffee after the classes and<br />
if we had to pay for parking I am<br />
sure we would be going some<br />
where else for coffee.<br />
As it is election time again I<br />
think they should be directing<br />
community awareness in a better<br />
direction.<br />
I am sure they would not like<br />
to see their parents/grandparents<br />
biking to an exercise class to<br />
keep themselves fit and out of<br />
the health system.<br />
FLAME FILES<br />
Cover a burning<br />
pot with its lid<br />
• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk<br />
Management Officer<br />
AN INCIDENT in Spreydon<br />
last Friday had many aspects of<br />
slapstick comedy, sadly without<br />
any of the humour.<br />
A young lady had oil heating<br />
on the stove which ignited while<br />
she wasn’t in the room.<br />
Like nearly anyone else in the<br />
same situation she tried to put<br />
the fire out.<br />
In this instance she used a<br />
towel. Now I’m not sure if she<br />
moistened the cloth first because<br />
the towel also ignited.<br />
So she then threw it out the<br />
door. Burning oil ignited the wall<br />
linings. Which resulted in the<br />
range hood being destroyed.<br />
Addington’s crew extinguished<br />
the fire and the poor occupant<br />
was taken to hospital apparently<br />
in shock. What went wrong?<br />
Like in so many even more<br />
serious incidents not a lot. The<br />
first thing is to stay in the kitchen<br />
while any combustible is being<br />
heated.<br />
The second is to completely<br />
cover the burning pot, preferably<br />
with something that won’t burn,<br />
TRICKY: It’s duckling season<br />
again and firefighters are<br />
expecting to rescue more of<br />
them from drains.<br />
like a lid or oven tray. That’s really<br />
all.<br />
There’s not a huge difference<br />
between a fire that’s a nuisance<br />
and one that’s a tragedy. That’s<br />
why fire is so damned dangerous.<br />
It’s pet and animal time. Three<br />
cats, including a wild one, with<br />
not one caught up a tree, were<br />
rescued by intrepid fire crews<br />
around the city this week.<br />
And of course it’s duckling<br />
season again which meant one<br />
careless ducking pulled from a<br />
hole in Goodman St, Burwood,<br />
last Monday evening. Almost<br />
certainly won’t be the last.

Global children’s music<br />
star to perform<br />
INTERNATIONAL best-selling<br />
children’s musician and author<br />
Dean O’Brien (above) will<br />
perform at Merivale Paper Plus on<br />
<strong>October</strong> 29 at 3pm.<br />
Mr “Deano Yipadee” will be<br />
promoting the release of Jingle<br />
Bells, Rudolf Smells, his new book.<br />
It is taken from a song off his<br />
Christmas album that went to<br />
No 1 on the iTunes best sellers<br />
chart last December in the United<br />
Kingdom.<br />
The story follows Santa and<br />
his smelly-bottomed reindeer,<br />
Rudolph, on an adventure that<br />
finds Christmas being saved by<br />
Rudolph’s bionic trump.<br />
“I’m thrilled to be coming<br />
home. It’s the perfect time as my<br />
daughters both are Kiwis that<br />
have never been to New<br />
Zealand or had a hot Christmas,”<br />
he said.<br />
Mr O’Brien was born in<br />
Mosgiel, Otago, but has been<br />
living in the UK for 15 years.<br />
He has another two books being<br />
released in 2017 – Neenaw the Fire<br />
Engine and Stink-O-Saurus.<br />
In 2013, his debut album, Yes, I<br />
Can! Club, hit the top spot in the<br />
UK Children’s Charts and was<br />
followed by an invite to perform<br />
at the world-famous Glastonbury<br />
music festival alongside The<br />
Rolling Stones, magician Dynamo<br />
and others.<br />
In addition to several<br />
subsequent chart-topping albums,<br />
he also created an album full of<br />
UK TV stars for charity.<br />
CONCERNS OVER pollution<br />
and other contaminants getting<br />
into rivers is why grass will be<br />
left to grow longer around river<br />
banks.<br />
The city council, with the<br />
West Melton Zone Committee,<br />
Environment Canterbury,<br />
and Fish and Game assessed<br />
the need to mow the banks in<br />
light of the concerns about the<br />
impact that may be having on<br />
the ecology of the rivers.<br />
The agencies are concerned<br />
that closely shaving the grass<br />
on the riverbanks could be<br />
increasing the risk of erosion,<br />
damaging the riparian habitat,<br />
and reducing an opportunity to<br />
filter contaminants from runoff<br />
into the rivers.<br />
Normally the grassed banks<br />
of the city’s waterways are kept<br />
closely mown.<br />
City council land drainage<br />
manager Keith Davison said<br />
the city council had assessed<br />
the need to mow the banks<br />
due to concerns raised and had<br />
decided to stop grass cutting<br />
between the waterway and the<br />
top of the banks in the middle<br />
TRIAL: Some of<br />
Christchurch’s<br />
grassy riverbanks<br />
will be left uncut<br />
on a trial basis for<br />
environmental<br />
reasons. <br />
Long grass will<br />
help river health<br />
and lower reaches of the Avon<br />
and Styx Rivers.<br />
It had also decided to stop grass<br />
cutting between the waterway<br />
and the top of the banks within<br />
trial areas of the Heathcote River<br />
and Steamwharf Stream.<br />
“Our plan is to monitor the<br />
impact and use what we learn to<br />
make a decision about whether<br />
we permanently cease mowing<br />
the banks. This is not about<br />
saving money; it is about doing<br />
what is best for the ecology of<br />
our waterways,’’ Mr Davison<br />
said.<br />

Bowie tribute picked up<br />
Fashion<br />
<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A NUMBER of Burnside<br />
High School and St Margaret’s<br />
College students will<br />
feature in an international<br />
documentary after their David<br />
Bowie tribute song got picked<br />
up by an Italian filmmaker.<br />
The song, Starman in<br />
the Stars, was written and<br />
performed by Mandi Miller,<br />
Gardening<br />
Mark Wilson, their band All<br />
the Queen’s Horses and a<br />
choir of school pupils.<br />
An Italian film project, Ritratti,<br />
will use the music video<br />
in a collective multi-media<br />
film called BowieNext.<br />
Ms Miller, of Woolston, is<br />
overjoyed with the news, saying<br />
she had hoped the track<br />
Motoring<br />
would get snapped up and<br />
used.<br />
“I have been promoting it<br />
and been trying to find people<br />
that are making David Bowie<br />
documentaries, so this is really<br />
exciting,” she said.<br />
Cashmere High School students<br />
Kirsty Tobbell, Emily<br />
Tasty Bites<br />
Tobbell and Elizabeth Whittington,<br />
and Somerfield<br />
School pupil Connor Tobbell<br />
were a part of the chorus<br />
choir.<br />
Pupils from Sumner,<br />
Redcliffs and Heathcote Valley<br />
schools and Villa Maria<br />
College also helped record<br />
the track at Orange Studios in<br />
Ferrymead.<br />
It was made as a tribute to<br />
the late David Bowie who died<br />
in January this year.<br />
“They all learnt the chorus<br />
and held down the main<br />
melody and I improvised over<br />
top of them. Their voices really<br />
stand out,” Ms Miller said.<br />
“The added element of the<br />
children in the video was really<br />
significant to me because<br />
Bowie was still making music<br />
up until he passed and I think<br />
they’re a new generation of<br />
Bowie fans.”<br />
Ms Miller has been a singing<br />
teacher at Sumner School<br />
for nearly ten years and she<br />
also teaches at Redcliffs<br />
School.<br />
The 26 students that feature<br />
are current and former singing<br />
students of hers.<br />
“There are some really<br />
good voices out there and the<br />
children are such good kids.<br />
They’re kind and considerate<br />
people but vocally I’ve had<br />
some amazing singers come<br />
through,” she said.<br />

For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements<br />
The Blind Care Company has been<br />
cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds<br />
for over 60 years. Those six decades<br />
have seen changes in both fashion and<br />
technology. Styles have ranged from<br />
festooned fabric swags to straightforward<br />
and still popular holland roller blinds,<br />
from vertical to horizontal slat systems,<br />
and in every colour or pattern popular<br />
since the 1960s.<br />
Whatever your style, the Blind Care<br />
Company has the expertise to keep your<br />
window treatments looking fresh and<br />
working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly<br />
chemicals, the build-up of dirt,<br />
dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue<br />
can be removed so that your blinds<br />
smell fresh and are restored to their<br />
original glory. The company can repair<br />
blinds also, having a huge range of parts<br />
in stock. And if you want something<br />
completely new, a great range of blinds is<br />
available for purchase.<br />
The company prides itself on efficient<br />
service, providing a fast turn-around,<br />
with most work taking one or two<br />
days, and a same day cleaning option is<br />
available. It makes it as easy as possible<br />
for clients. The Cashel Street location<br />
couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup<br />
and drop-off service is available. 150<br />
blinds per day can be cleaned at this site,<br />
or one of their mobile vans can do up to<br />
50 per day. That means they will come to<br />

Brydon new Black Stick<br />
SPORTS<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
HIGH SCHOOL Old<br />
Boys-Burnside player David<br />
Brydon has been named in<br />
the Black Sticks team to play<br />
Australia in November.<br />
The 20-year-old was named<br />
in the national team for the first<br />
time on the back of a standout<br />
year which has saw him win the<br />
most valuable player award at<br />
last month’s National Hockey<br />
League.<br />
The former St Bede’s College<br />
student received a phone call<br />
from Black Sticks coach Colin<br />
Batch early last week to deliver<br />
the good news.<br />
“It was definitely in the back of<br />
my mind. It’s nice to now know<br />
that I’m going to get that opportunity,”<br />
said Brydon.<br />
The side to take on Australia<br />
is a relatively young one. Fellow<br />
Canterbury Cavaliers player<br />
and former St Andrew’s College<br />
student Sam Lane and Dominic<br />
Newman will also make there<br />
international debuts against<br />
Australia. The three were part of<br />
the Canterbury team that won<br />
this year’s under-21 national<br />
tournament.<br />
Nick Haig has also made the<br />
Black Sticks squad and was part<br />
of the Canterbury Cavaliers<br />
men’s team which finished<br />
second at the NHL with Brydon,<br />
Lane and Newman.<br />

first time in November against Australia in Auckland. <br />

Hastie, the inclusion of the players<br />
comes as no suprise.<br />
“I’m very proud of these guys. I<br />
have no doubt they will have a lot<br />
of influence during the Australia<br />
series and I can see them going<br />
onto have bright futures in the<br />
black uniform,” said Hastie.<br />
It will be a busy end to the year<br />
for the midfielder. He will be part<br />
of the three-game trans-Tasman<br />
series in November and will then<br />
represent New Zealand at under-21<br />
level in the Junior World<br />
Cup this December in India.<br />
“It’s going to be hectic but it’s<br />
very exciting. We’re going to<br />
be going up against the world’s<br />
best teams so I’m really looking<br />
forward to it,” said Brydon.<br />
Brydon and the rest of the<br />
Black Sticks squad will assemble<br />
in Auckland later this month to<br />
begin their training camp ahead<br />
of the trans-Tasman series.<br />
The Black Sticks play Australia<br />
in Auckland on November 17, 19<br />
and 20.<br />

The team that has won six<br />
consecutive Canterbury titles<br />
finished second at nationals<br />

Looking after top tennis players<br />
Bishopdale sports store owner Tony Ralfe has<br />
attended about 20 Davis Cup ties. In his 50 years<br />
of restringing tennis rackets he has met some<br />
of the world’s top players and enjoys his job<br />
every minute of every day. He chats with Andrew<br />
King about memorable Davis Cup matches, his<br />
favourite player and what he is looking forward<br />
to this year<br />
I hear you are a bit of a tennis<br />
legend around these parts, how<br />
did you get started in the sport?<br />
My mum and dad were keen<br />
tennis players. Dad was one of the<br />
top in North Otago and my mum<br />
played in representative grades.<br />
So myself and two sisters were<br />
carted around tennis courts and<br />
lived, ate and slept tennis from a<br />
very early age.<br />
So you were brought up on the<br />
court hitting a ball around?<br />
When we moved to Lowcliffe,<br />
near Ashburton, when I was<br />
around eight we had the tennis<br />
courts about 10m from the<br />
back door of the house. So we<br />
could just walk outside and start<br />
smacking a ball.<br />
Was a professional career ever<br />
on the cards for you?<br />
Oh, it could have been, but I<br />
decided to get into retail and then<br />
more into the administration<br />
side of things. I have been with<br />
Canterbury Tennis since 1968<br />
on the competition’s committee<br />
and then into management from<br />
1969 and been there ever since. I<br />
have been the Canterbury Tennis<br />
president for the last <strong>11</strong> years, so<br />
I have spent a few hours sitting<br />
around meeting tables.<br />
Was tennis your main sport<br />
when your were growing up?<br />
I played a bit of everything,<br />
being from a country school, but<br />
tennis was my main sport in the<br />
summer. I played some rugby<br />
when I was in Southland and<br />
then hockey when we moved<br />
to Lowcliffe. Then we moved to<br />
Christchurch and I have been<br />
here ever since.<br />
When did you get into<br />
stringing rackets?<br />
It was 50 years ago this year. It<br />
was my first job and back in those<br />
days it was all hand stringing,<br />

EXPERIENCED: Tony Ralfe has strung the rackets of many<br />
famous tennis players.<br />
then the machines came in and<br />
once there were metal rackets,<br />
you couldn’t hand string those<br />
so we did less and less. I worked<br />
for Anderson & Hill, under a guy<br />
called Harry Hill. He was one<br />
of the best hand stringers in the<br />
world at the time, well I thought<br />
he was, if not the best.<br />
So Harry would have been a<br />
bit of inspiration for you when<br />
you were starting out?<br />
He was unbelievably quick, he<br />
could hand string 10 rackets in a<br />
little over two hours. It was a real<br />
art. In those days it was real gut<br />
that you used. One night we had<br />
a guy walk in at 10 to nine asking<br />

then. It was on Manchester St,<br />
then moved to Cashel St, before a<br />
lot of the other franchises started<br />
up. Unfortunately, Harry passed<br />
on a few years ago but he was a<br />
true inspiration.<br />
I’ve been told you have<br />

matches in your time, how many<br />

It is around the 19-20 mark,<br />
I need to go back through the<br />
records but it has been close to 20.<br />
What is your most memorable<br />
match?<br />
New Zealand-England at<br />
Pioneer Stadium. Unsure of the<br />
year but it was a match Chris<br />
Lewis didn’t play particularly well<br />
and his mother nearly nailed him<br />
to the door. “Don’t you ever play<br />
like that again,” I believe were the<br />
words out of her mouth. I’ll never<br />
forget that. But that is sport, every<br />
athlete has their off day. The 1979<br />
match between New Zealand,<br />
Australia at the King Edward<br />
Barracks in Christchurch, we had<br />
a lot of rain and it started to leak<br />
in through the roof and flood the<br />
court.<br />

is no racket<br />
What was your role at that<br />
tournament?<br />
I was the main stringer for the<br />
players for about the last 20 ties<br />
in Christchurch. I have never<br />
missed one.<br />
You would have met a few<br />
big names of the game over the<br />
years?<br />
Yes, well for the last 12 years I<br />
have been going to Auckland and<br />
working at what is now known<br />
as the ASB Open as the senior<br />
stringer. Done some big names<br />
up there, and we have Serena<br />
Williams coming this year so<br />
there is a good chance I’ll get to<br />
string hers. I have done Venus’<br />
the last few years and David<br />
Ferrer a couple of times as well as<br />
Caroline Wozniacki.<br />
Do you get to have a chat to<br />
them, maybe give them some<br />
advice?<br />
(Laughing) Sometimes, but<br />
a lot of the time the coaches<br />
do the donkey work, dropping<br />
the rackets off. But generally<br />
somewhere along the line we run<br />
into them and have a chat.<br />
What do you talk about?<br />
Oh, anything. From tennis to<br />
things they have seen in New<br />
Zealand, what they like about the<br />
country. All sorts really.<br />
Who is your favourite player?<br />
It has to be Roger Federer you<br />
can’t go past him. He is a model<br />
tennis player and it is a real shame<br />
the kids don’t try to emulate him<br />
rather than some of these other<br />
ones that are not quite in the same<br />
league behaviour-wise.<br />
Like Nick Kyrgios?<br />
Yes, well kids copy those kind<br />
of idiots on the court rather<br />
than the good ones. Have you<br />
ever seen Feds even hit a ball in<br />
anger ever, it doesn’t happen. Or<br />
query a line call in an aggressive<br />
manner? Some of these other<br />
guys are doing it all the time.<br />
What about New Zealand<br />
players?<br />
Chris Lewis would be one<br />
of our best players. Also Brett<br />
Steven. Those guys used to get off<br />
the plane and ask if Tony was the<br />
stringer. Once they knew I was<br />
they didn’t have many worries<br />
past that (laughing).<br />
Have you been to many major<br />
tournaments in a professional<br />
capacity?<br />
I went to Wimbledon in 2001. I<br />
went into the stringing room there<br />
after a couple of days. The guy in<br />
there said he could of given me<br />
a job. I told him that’s why I had<br />
left it a few days before coming in<br />
here because I wanted to watch,<br />
not work. It was nice watching<br />
for a change. I would tell the guys<br />
sitting next to me when ever a<br />
player broke their string. They<br />
would tell me I had good hearing<br />
and would reply breaking strings<br />
were music to my ears.<br />
How many rackets do you<br />
think you have restrung in your<br />
50 years?<br />
I have no idea. It would be<br />
certainly a few. We do about<br />
300 in the two weeks I am in<br />
Auckland for the open. I think I<br />
do about 1500 a year.<br />
Have you ever tightened them<br />
too much and had a player<br />
complain?<br />
There was a young Spanish<br />
player back when Rob Muldoon<br />
was prime minster, I can’t<br />
TALENT: Tony Ralfe remembers<br />
a Davis Cup match<br />
against England where Chris<br />
Lewis didn’t play well but said<br />
all athletes have an occasional<br />
off day.<br />
remember his name. He started<br />
on about 66 pounds and when the<br />
tournament was winding up he<br />
was on 42 pound. He kept coming<br />
back telling me it is too tight. But<br />
that doesn’t happen to often.<br />
I would imagine your kids<br />
would have been into the game?<br />
Yes, I have two boys, who have<br />
grown up and flown the coup<br />
now. They enjoyed the game<br />
when they were kids.<br />
So 50 years in the business,<br />
you must be closing to putting<br />
your feet up?<br />
I am looking at moving<br />
into retirement. Selling my<br />
store up and chase a few more<br />
tournaments. I can cart my<br />
machine around and string a few<br />
rackets for people.<br />
At any point during those<br />
50 years, did you about getting<br />
another job?<br />
(Laughing) Well, that would<br />
have been an idea, probably<br />
would have got paid better. But I<br />
have had a real interest in sport<br />
so this was the place for me. I’m<br />
not very good on horse racing,<br />
but most others I can tell you a<br />
thing or two about it. My wife<br />
is always groaning we have the<br />
sports channel on at home but<br />
never mind. We watch other<br />
things sometimes.<br />

Classic TV comedy on stage<br />
Dad’s Army<br />
Produced by Cas ‘n’ Ova<br />
Productions<br />
Directed by Craig<br />
Hutchison and Rebecca<br />
Wakelin<br />
Reviewed by Georgia<br />
O’Connor-Harding<br />
Cas ‘n’ Ova has put on a<br />
humorous production about an<br />
endearing army of men too old<br />
or “unfit” for military service<br />
during World War 2.<br />
If you didn’t laugh throughout<br />
the show, you were certainly in<br />
the minority. Chuckles could be<br />
heard for most of the production,<br />
which I am sure would have<br />
been an interesting experience<br />
for some of the fairly new actors<br />
to the showbiz scene.<br />
Based on the BBC comedy,<br />
Dad’s Army recounts the<br />
misadventures of a voluntary<br />
defence force known as the<br />
Home Guard.<br />
Considering some of the<br />
actors had barely any acting<br />
experience at all, the cast put in<br />
a solid effort. And it was great<br />
a seasoned director such as<br />
Craig Hutchison took on board<br />
fresh-faced actors willing to give<br />
theatre a go.<br />
COMICAL SHOW: Ray Williamson as Lance Corporal Jones and Mike MacLeod as Captain<br />
Mainwaring.<br />
Mike MacLeod pulled off the<br />
role of Captain Mainwaring well.<br />
I loved the expressive pout he<br />
would make when he was angry.<br />
I saw many of those pouts<br />
particularly during a comical<br />
but disastrous date with Mrs<br />
Gray where Mainwaring was<br />
continuously interrupted by his<br />
soldiers.<br />
Like many of the cast,<br />
MacLeod had an uncanny<br />
resemblance to the original<br />
Captain Mainwaring, played by<br />
Arthur Lowe, which I think any<br />
Dad’s Army fan would adore.<br />
It was unfortunate MacLeod<br />
was dealing with a distracting<br />
cough, which is understandably<br />
difficult to deal with. He did his<br />
best, but it tainted what was a<br />
strong performance.<br />
Peter Watt, playing the role<br />
of Private Frazer, was a hit<br />
with the audience. Being a Scot<br />
himself, his accent was spot-on<br />
– but it was that classic blokey<br />
demeanour that gave him a great<br />
stage presence.<br />
Occasionally it looked as<br />
though the actors missed their<br />
cues and there seemed to be a bit<br />
of over-acting but, at the same<br />
time, these small imperfections<br />
added to the show’s comical<br />
value.<br />
I was surprised at how<br />
much I enjoyed this show. It<br />
wasn’t a full-scale professional<br />
production but the cast deserves<br />
to be acknowledged, particularly<br />
for their charisma.<br />
It was clear they enjoyed<br />
being up on stage and I think<br />
they would have had a lot of fun<br />
putting this show together.<br />

doors of The Contemporary<br />

polite doormen welcomed me<br />
and ushered me upstairs towards<br />
the launch party of Ballantynes<br />
Fashion Week.<br />
I was poured a glass of Daniel<br />
Le Brun bubbles and escorted<br />
to my seat in the atrium,<br />
where beautiful white flowers<br />
adorned the main stage and a<br />
long catwalk came out from in<br />
between the flora.<br />
There I saw hundreds of<br />
eager fashionistas lined up like<br />
dominoes along the catwalk<br />
in wait of the latest spring and<br />
summer trends.<br />
As luxurious as it was, the<br />
event wasn’t restricted to the<br />
elite in search of the most avantgarde<br />
pieces for their designer<br />
wardrobe.<br />
Ballantynes Fashion Week was<br />
more of a come one, come alltype<br />

the denim range refreshing. The<br />

evening was the resort look,<br />
featuring the Isaac Lulu Vinnie<br />
pant.<br />
The model was dressed impeccably<br />
head to toe and I was an<br />
absolute sucker for those wide<br />
leg pants – those are my biggest<br />
must-have at the moment.<br />
While I’m a big advocate of<br />
black and white, I felt the monochrome<br />
wear was a bit off.<br />

Ballantynes Fashion Week<br />
also featured a mums and bubs<br />

New Location - Ray White Real Estate Bishopdale<br />
“We love helping our clients<br />
realise their dreams when buying<br />
or selling property and to see<br />
their elation after the purchase<br />
or sale has been completed,” says<br />
realtor Barry Ellis of the newly<br />
opened Ray White Real Estate<br />
Bishopdale office.<br />
“Over seven years ago when<br />
my wife, Karen and I entered<br />
the real estate industry we had a<br />
vision. Our desire was to deliver<br />
optimum results based upon<br />
collaborative communication,<br />
clear outcomes, and prioritised<br />
strategies which left our clients<br />
happy and fulfilled.”<br />
This vision has become the<br />
core of Karen and Barry’s<br />
business ethos which can be<br />
proven time and time again, by<br />
their track record and database<br />
filled with satisfied customers,<br />
many of whom they now call<br />
life-long friends.<br />
“Building a relationship with<br />
our clients based upon trust<br />
and moral fibre is at the heart of<br />
who we are and how we work.<br />
We are about people, not sales<br />
numbers. We treat our clients<br />
like we would like to be treated<br />
and work in their best interests<br />
at all times. For each property<br />
that we bring to the market we<br />
introduce customised<br />
marketing campaigns<br />
and develop individual<br />
strategies for the widest<br />
possible audience appeal.<br />
For us, that includes<br />
all potential local and<br />
national buyers as well<br />
as international lookers.<br />
This is made possible by<br />
our professional network, which<br />
help us spread the word far and<br />
near, because the market is larger<br />
than just our local communities.<br />
We also believe in providing<br />
accurate information from the<br />
outset including appraisals where<br />
we provide a realistic assessment<br />
of a property’s value in the<br />
market today. We pride ourselves<br />
on building a relationship with<br />
each client based upon the old<br />
fashioned values of honesty,<br />
trust, and good communication.<br />
Clients are not numbers. They<br />
are people and we want them<br />
to feel they can trust us and<br />
count on us any time they have a<br />
need for service or advice.” adds<br />
Karen.<br />
Barry and Karen’s goal of<br />
opening a real estate office has<br />
recently come to fruition. They<br />
have recently opened their own<br />
Ray White Real Estate location<br />
in Bishopdale. Stop by and see<br />
what’s happening in the property<br />
market and if you are looking<br />
to sell make sure you give them<br />

“Joining the Ray White group<br />
was an obvious choice for us.”<br />
says Barry. “Ray White is a<br />
family owned business which<br />
matches our personal value<br />
system. They believe in pride<br />
and integrity with every real<br />
estate transaction and so do we.<br />
These same values are shared<br />

Hansen who is Ray White<br />

Testimonials<br />
Barry & Karen helped me for over a year<br />
looking for a property, sometimes even<br />
driving me to and from viewings when I<br />
did not have a car. They were very helpful<br />
and were not pushy, they listened to what<br />
I wanted. I would recommend them to<br />
anyone looking at buying or selling a<br />
property”<br />
Tracey P, Grimseys Road Redwood<br />
Coming highly recommended by<br />
a colleague I contacted Barry to aid<br />
with the selling of our “As Is Where<br />
Is” property in Burwood. Being a very<br />
difficult market and not knowing how<br />
best to sell the property, Barry and his<br />
team provided the market details and<br />
confidence in previous sales to allow<br />
us to make the right decision. Excellent<br />
marketing stimulated the right activity<br />
to get our price expectation, a figure that<br />
Barry predicted from the first day we met.<br />
Always available and providing regular<br />
and detailed feedback, the sale was a<br />
success. Thanks to Barry & Karen and the<br />
team<br />
Steve H, Reginald Street Burwood<br />
We can recommend Karen & Barry Ellis<br />
unreservedly as Real Estate agents who<br />
truly care about and value their clients.<br />
Positivity, Enthusiasm and Knowledge<br />
were key elements in the selling of our<br />
home and both Karen & Barry readily<br />
made time available to discuss our<br />
needs. Their professional integrity and<br />
Karen and Barry Ellis, Ray White<br />
Real Estate Bishopdale.<br />
honesty were always evident throughout<br />
the process particularly when an offer<br />
was presented to us. From the initial<br />
photographs to the actual sale of our<br />
home we felt valued and consulted. Selling<br />
your home can be stressful but we always<br />
felt informed and confident that we were<br />
in “safe hands” in all respects.”<br />
Helen and Rae, Regents Park Drive<br />
Barry & Karen have been fantastic. They<br />
do what they say they are going to do and<br />
then they do extra. Totally professional<br />
but friendly with it. Barry & Karen made<br />
this process as easy and stress free as<br />
possible and it was really appreciated”.<br />
Stroudy, Shirley<br />
“Karen & Barry were recommended to<br />
us by our ASB banker, we found that they<br />
were very pro-active in their approach to<br />
selling our house. This was very evident<br />
by the number of viewers that came to the<br />
first open home they held. We would have<br />
no hesitation in recommending Karen &<br />
Barry Ellis”<br />

Motoring<br />
Sporty flavour to<br />
chic Citroen DS3<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
IN A perfect world,<br />
Citroen’s desire to have<br />
two marketing platforms<br />
globally would seem easy.<br />
Citroen effectively have<br />
two ranges – Citroen and<br />
DS. DS is an offshoot<br />
which produces cars just a<br />
little right of centre, trendy,<br />
fashionable and sporty.<br />
The PSA Group, which<br />
is the parent of company of<br />
Citroen and DS, has made<br />
it quite clear they would<br />
like to have separate showrooms<br />
for each brand, but<br />
here in New Zealand that’s<br />
an expensive investment,<br />
and one which would be<br />
hard to justify given the<br />
historically low volumes of<br />
Citroen sold here.<br />
And if you take into<br />
account there are also some<br />
joint dealerships for both<br />
Citroen and Peugeot, the<br />
latter also part of the PSA<br />
Group, the infrastructure<br />
involved in keeping<br />
all three brands separate<br />
would be rather costly and<br />
complicated.<br />
That being the case, to<br />
purchase a DS at present,<br />
buyers need to go to the<br />
Citroen dealership, and to<br />
my way of thinking, that’s<br />
the best scenario, while DS<br />
does stand out as being<br />
individual, the cars are still<br />
in many ways fundamentally<br />
Citroen.<br />
I’m due to drive the DS4<br />
Crossback and DS5 soon,<br />
this evaluation focuses on<br />
the baby of the series, the<br />
DS3, a small, funky, threedoor<br />
hatchback which<br />
utilises the Citroen C3 and<br />
Peugeot 208 platform.<br />
The DS3 also gets the<br />
1.2-litre, three-cylinder<br />
engine of Citroen’s Cactus,<br />
C4 and the Peugeot 208. It<br />
is an engine which punches<br />
well above its weight. It is<br />
rated at an amazing 81kW<br />
and has a fabulous 205Nm<br />
of torque available at just<br />
2000rpm. The latter is<br />
thanks to a fairly hefty turbocharged<br />
boost and if you<br />
take into account the light<br />
weight of the car at just<br />
975kg, it has remarkable<br />
performance and economy.<br />
It will accelerate from<br />
a standstill to 100km/h<br />
in 9.9sec, and scamper<br />
through a highway overtake<br />
in 6sec (80km/h to<br />
120km/h). Response to<br />
throttle request is pretty<br />
much instant, drive is<br />
through a six-speed automatic<br />
gearbox, and it is a<br />
transmission which doesn’t<br />
soak up too much out of<br />
the engine, the entire acceleration<br />
process is fluid.<br />
CITROEN DS3: Trendy three-door hatchback.<br />
Citroen also claim a 4.7-<br />
litre per 100km (60mpg)<br />
combined cycle fuel usage<br />
average. During my time<br />
with the test car the consumption<br />
readout was<br />
constantly listing around<br />
6l/100km (47mpg) with<br />
4.4l/100km (64mpg) available<br />
at a steady 100km/h,<br />
the engine quite relaxed at<br />
that speed turning over at<br />
just 2100rpm.<br />
• Price – Citroen DS3,<br />
$42,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
3948mm; width,<br />
1710mm; height,<br />
1483mm<br />
• Configuration –<br />
Three-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,<br />
<strong>11</strong>99cc,<br />
81kW, 205Nm, sixspeed<br />
automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 9.9sec<br />
• Fuel usage –<br />
4.7l/100km<br />
There’s no mistaking<br />
that something just a little<br />
bit different sits under the<br />
bonnet, the wee threepotter<br />
carries the traditional<br />
harmonics which sit<br />
with that configuration.<br />
I’m not saying it is noisy<br />
or unnatural, but it gets<br />
about its task with a feeling<br />
that is uncharacteristic for<br />
an internal combustion<br />
engine.<br />
That aside, it is a sensation<br />
I quite like; I’ve driven<br />
many three-potters over<br />
the years, one of my daily<br />
commute work vehicles was<br />
a Suzuki Alto, and I came<br />
to really enjoy the honesty<br />
of its three-cylinder engine,<br />
they have a lot of torque<br />
low down and that is where<br />
you need power. The DS3’s<br />
unit operates effectively<br />
at low revs, and that flexibility<br />
also contributes to<br />
those respectable fuel usage<br />
figures.<br />
And while it prefers to<br />
work at the lower part of<br />
the rev band, it will sing to<br />
the top end readily boosting<br />
all of the way without<br />
complaint.<br />
High performance versions<br />
of the DS3 in overseas<br />
markets have included<br />
a Racing version. Given<br />
it’s pedigree, I took the test<br />
car on the Summit Rd to<br />
Gebbies Pass and out to the<br />
plains via Coes Ford. The<br />
DS3 cruises quietly and<br />
feels nimble and agile when<br />
confronted with some<br />
tricky corners. In my introduction<br />
I suggested that<br />
DS range cars are just that<br />
little bit feisty. The DS3 has<br />
firmish suspension, quite<br />
removed from mainstream<br />
Citroen, and that contributes<br />
to the stiff sensation<br />
underneath.<br />
Riding on sport specification<br />
Michelin tyres (205/45<br />
x 17in), there is a lot of grip<br />
on offer, and if you add in<br />
direct and precise steerage<br />
the DS3 could well be considered<br />
a genuinely capable<br />
handling vehicle.<br />
However, when that<br />
type of motoring isn’t on<br />
the agenda the DS3 will<br />
appeal in many other ways.<br />
Its French origins come<br />
to the fore, its design cues<br />
are standouts and while it<br />
is just a baby hatchback it<br />
has two-tone colouring,<br />
and chic features which<br />
certainly take it out of the<br />
mainstream category.<br />
Inside, too, it has avantgarde<br />
styling elements. Not<br />
that they make driving the<br />
car a challenge, they don’t,<br />
but just the way the cockpit<br />
is laid out is visually different.<br />
Space-wise the DS3<br />
could really be considered<br />
a four-seater only, there are<br />
three seat belts across the<br />
rear, but that area is best<br />
reserved for those slight of<br />
stature. However, on the<br />
plus side, there is a respectable<br />
under-hatch load<br />
space (285-litres), surprisingly<br />
it easily accounted for<br />
the sizeable Kiddie-family<br />
weekly grocery shop.<br />
French manufacturers are<br />
well renowned for building<br />
passion into their cars.<br />
At $42,990 it isn’t the most<br />
affordable hatchback in<br />
today’s market, but if you<br />
want style and panache<br />
then the DS3 is the car for<br />
you.

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

Migraine relief<br />
Krissy Winter saw an article in the local newspaper a year ago and having suffered<br />
from debilitating migraines wondered if the treatment would help her.<br />
“My migraines were debilitating and<br />
they’d often come without warning.<br />
Sometimes once a week, but generally<br />
about once a month. I’d moved up from<br />
Dunedin where I’d managed them with<br />
my Osteopath, Yoga and Pilates. In<br />
Christchurch I was so reluctant to let<br />
anyone near my neck. I read the article<br />
and I must admit I wasn’t convinced and I<br />
went to the first appointment with a page<br />
of all the concerns I had. The first time I<br />
met Laurie I remember walking out and<br />
feeling more in control. After about four<br />
treatments with Laurie and perfecting the<br />
technique she taught me I truly began to<br />
reap the benefits. Now I’m fantastic. If I<br />
feel a migraine coming on I now have the<br />
control to manage it myself, even stopping<br />
them from taking over, without needing<br />
someone to drive me in to the Osteopath<br />
or the hospital for an injection to relieve<br />
the pain. With the technique Laurie<br />
taught me I’m armed and dangerous!”<br />
Many people suffer continually from<br />
headache and migraine pain not knowing<br />
what help is at hand from three specially<br />
trained Physiotherapists at Muscle People.<br />
In the past ten years, the understanding of<br />
what causes headaches and migraines has<br />
significantly changed. The research now<br />
shows that sensitisation of the brain stem<br />
is what causes this pain.<br />
Laurie, Clare and Naomi have trained<br />
in Australia in the Watson Approach<br />
which is proven to work. This method<br />
examines and treats the movements of<br />
the first three segments of the neck, which<br />
when sensitised cause headaches and<br />
migraines.<br />
“In our clinics we see people from<br />
as far away as Invercargill who come<br />
to us specially to seek treatment” says<br />
Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People<br />
Physiotherapy. She says “The symposium<br />
in Australia we went to just recently<br />
reaffirmed the effectiveness of what we<br />
do, and honed our skills even more.”<br />
Generally patients will come to our<br />
clinic four or five times in the first few<br />
weeks of treatment. We show them some<br />
very simple exercises to do at home.<br />
After the first few weeks, treatments the<br />
sessions are guided by how the patient is<br />
feeling.<br />
“Often patients come to us at the end<br />
of a long journey having tried quite a few<br />
other treatments, and we are able to help<br />
them reduce or remove their pain. If you<br />
think this technique might help you, but<br />
aren’t sure, give us a call.” Laurie says.<br />
Give the friendly team at Muscle<br />
People Physiotherapy a call on 360 3606<br />
to book in to their headache clinic.<br />
With the technique<br />
Laurie taught me I’m<br />
armed and dangerous!<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
Family versatility in private and peaceful setting<br />
20 Dunrobin Place, Avonhead<br />
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 living rooms | 2 car-garage | 3 off-street parks | Listing # 2867<br />
Positioned at the end of a quiet culde-sac<br />
and enjoying a northerly aspect<br />
this 1970’s classic block home offers<br />
flexibility, function and will suit a myriad<br />
of family situations. An expansive, formal<br />
lounge opens out to the 663sqm grounds,<br />
enabling family and friends to enjoy the<br />
sun or dine alfresco. The crucial kitchen<br />
area – such a hub for families is brand<br />
sparkling new. Living areas are light and<br />
open welcoming the sun while retaining<br />
all-important privacy. With three generous<br />
double bedrooms upstairs, a northern<br />
balcony extends from two of the three<br />
bedrooms with vistas of the garden while<br />
also doubling as a sheltered sunroom. The<br />
décor throughout is neutral, allowing you<br />
to easily impact your own touches inside.<br />
Downstairs is a bit or a treat where this<br />
home showcases its options for different<br />
family configurations. A fourth generous<br />
double bedroom, new bathroom and<br />
a separate toilet will allow you to have<br />
family separation when needed and<br />
accommodate guests when you like. The<br />
grounds are a safe environment for young<br />
children and pets with the address falling<br />
inside the Burnside High School and<br />
Merrin Primary School zone. A double<br />
garage with additional space for off-street<br />
parking puts an exclamation mark on the<br />
package here for your consideration – you<br />
simply must inspect our subject property.<br />
Immediate possession is available.<br />
Open homes Thursday and Sunday<br />
12.30am-1.00pm. For a private viewing<br />
contact Peter or Kathryn Hampton<br />
of Harcourts St Albans - Holmwood<br />
(Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on<br />
