Pressure kept on young crims
• By Andrew King
A POLICE crackdown on the
top 10 youth offenders in northwest
suburbs recovered stolen
property in a raid on Friday.
A search warrant was issued to
look for stolen property at a
Bryndwr address from two
burglaries in Papanui and the
theft of a mountain bike from a
school.
A 13-year-old suspect has been
identified, and $3550 worth of
property recovered.
Inquiries into his involvement
are on-going, no charges have
been laid so far.
It is part of an operation,
code named Piper, that targets
the top 10 youth believed to
be responsible for burglaries,
thefts, vandalism and graffiti,
intimidation and other
offending.
All 10 have been spoken to
since the operation started in
September.
Acting Sergeant Nick Adcock
said the raid on Friday shows
the initiative is working and it is
making a few young criminals
think twice before they act.
“This is an excellent result as
we are continuing to identify
and deal with offences caused by
our local youth. With focus on
our most prolific youth offenders
we are preventing further
offending,” he said.
He said seven of the 10 top
offenders have been dealt with
for offending with various
degrees of seriousness.
He said he couldn’t comment
on the specifics but the offences
ranged from burglary, aggravated
robbery and trespasses.
“We currently have two in
youth custody, one has moved
to be with family in Wellington,
one has been removed from
the list as there has been no
offending for some time,” he
said.
Operation Piper is based from
the Papanui police station and is
aimed at giving opportunities to
break a cycle of crime.
It’s part of a wider focus
throughout northern and
eastern suburbs to reduce youth
crime and as part of the national
goal to reduce it 25 per cent by
June.
Basketballer
heads for
new heights
Former Burnside High School student Toby
Gillooly has secured a four-year basketball
scholarship at New Mexico Highlands University
in Las Vegas. The 18-year-old, who recently
finished his final year of secondary school,
has been a standout player for Burnside and
Canterbury age group teams in recent years.
Gillooly was also part of the Canterbury Rams
team that finished at the top of the round-robin in
last year’s National Basketball League. He leaves
for the United States next week and will compete
for New Mexico in the NCAA Rocky Mountain
Athletic Conference. He hopes to secure a
professional contract in the Australian Basketball
League following his four years at college.

Garden in danger of closing
• By Andrew King
A GARDEN that feeds and
entertains families in Bryndwr
could be a thing of the past if
they do not find a fresh crop of
volunteers.
The garden was the brainchild
of Bryndwr residents in 2010
and created in spring 2012 as a
way to get to know who is in the
community and grow healthy,
organic food.
But now they need “as many
volunteers” as they can get to
keep the garden, and all the
events that have been associated
with it.
Currently there is about
nine volunteers but some are
moving away and if they don’t
find more, it will not be able to
continue.
“Heaps of families from
around the community use this
garden and come to the events,
but without more help, we will
have to stop running them,” said
Bryndwr Community Garden
events co-ordinator Martin Rule.
For the past few years the
garden has hosted a Christmas
party where kids can go along
and get a present, have some
food and learn a bit about their
neighbourhood as well as a Halloween
party and family day –
all alcohol and smoke-free.
COMMUNITY HUB: (Left to right) – Dean Leigh, Denise Duncan, Jackie Todd holding baby Te-
Uru Tawhero, Martin Rule, Gabby Parker, Nae Nae Higgs and Dvontae (front) all pitch in at the
garden but more volunteers are needed to keep the project going.
Mr Rule said they do not want
to start charging for the events
as it would defeat the purpose of
a community garden.
“It is bigger than a garden,” he
said.
He said people know each
other better, the kids are safer
because everybody knows
each other and it provides a
valuable service to the community.
“Vegetables are so expensive
these days so if we can help out
families that don’t have a lot
then that is a good thing,” he
said.
If others want to start up
gardens in their own communities,
Mr Rule said they would be
happy to help out.
If you would like to help out
with the garden email bryndwr.

In Brief
REPAIRS NEEDED
The Papanui-Innes Community
Board has requested city council
staff arrange for the Redwood
Plunket rooms, located in Redwood
Park, to be repaired for community
use. It recently funded a community
worker through the Belfast
Community Network who needs to
be based in the area in a building.
COMMUNITY SPACE
A building used as the St Albans
transitional community centre will
be relocated to MacFarlane Park
after the new St Albans facility is
built. It has been gifted from the
Lions International Foundation
to the Papanui-Innes Community
Board.
FUNDING GRANTED
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
has approved funding for five
north-west students to attend
competitions and camps overseas.
Daniel Chiplin was granted $400
towards participating in the Peewee
International Ice Hockey Friendship
Tournament in Minnesota
in March. Amy Weaver, Grace
Northern and Paige Bowman were
granted $350 each towards their
gymnastics development tour to
Texas, in February. Laura Duncan
was granted $500 towards a
gymnastic training camp in South
Essex, England, in April.

Missing war
medals still
a mystery
• By Andrew King
Tuesday January 10 2017
WELL-KNOWN rugby league
identity Bill Whitehead’s war
medals are still missing in action.
Mr Whitehead, of Bishopdale,
approached Nor’West News about
12 months ago to try and locate his
Queen’s Service Medal and Defence
Service Medal.
But he is yet to hear anything
about them. He gave them to a
friend, but cannot remember who.
They had planned to combine the
medals together.
The friend noticed the medals
sitting on the top of Mr Whitehead’s
cabinet, and said they knew “a place
that could connect those together.”
“I can’t for the life of me remember
who it was,” Mr Whitehead said.
He said he wanted to hand them
on to his “heirs” and is asking
anyone who may know something
about the medals to get in contact.
War historian Alan Polaschek
said he does most of the work
on medals in Canterbury, but had
not seen Mr Whitehead’s medals.
His QSM was presented in 1987
and he was awarded his DSM for his
army service from 1950-1952.
If you can help Mr Whitehead
recover his medals, email andrew.

“LEAVE US alone, we have
been through enough.”
That is the message Bryndwr
residents want to send the Government
about selling off state
houses.
In November, minister
responsible for Housing New
Zealand Bill English said the
Government would look to
sell up to 2500 state houses in
Christchurch as part of its selloff
programme.
A petition has been started by
Housing New Zealand tenant
Gail Scott and other Bryndwr
residents Marney Ainsworth,
Paul Pink and Nae Nae Higgs to
try and block the sale.
A meeting discussing the
up-coming sale will be held at
St Aidan’s Anglican Church on
Wednesday at 7.30pm.
“We don’t want another landlord,”
Ms Scott said.
The houses are in Bryndwr,
Shirley and Riccarton.
She hoped people living in the
affected houses would speak up
and try to stop the sell-off.
“There is a fear of being
evicted if they speak up, but it
Coupland’s Bakeries managing director
Lance Coupland presented the keys to a
new Volkswagen Polo to Louisa Sinclair,
the winner of a Coupland’s competition.
While Mrs Sinclair, 34, described the win
as an “amazing Christmas present,” she will
be trading in the car valued at $25,000 to
support a trip to her homeland, Northern
Ireland, next April. Living in Dunedin for the
past seven years, Mrs Sinclair, her husband
and two daughters will travel to Bangor
for the first time since she moved to New
Zealand. Mrs Sinclair won the competition
through Coupland’s Bakeries at Andersons
Bay, South Dunedin. She said the bakery is
a regular stop for milk and thick sliced white
bread, while her favourite bakery item are
the citrus truffles.

Plea to stop state housing sell-off
is freedom of speech, they can’t
be kicked out for that,” Ms Scott
said.
Former Social Housing
Minister Paula Bennett said the
Government’s expectation in an
ownership transfer is that any
community housing provider
must show it can improve the
quality of services to tenants.
“As we have said of other
transfers, our bottom line is that
tenant rights will remain the
same and tenants will continue
to be housed for the duration of
their need,” she said.
She said any successful bidder

will enter a 25-year contract
with the Ministry of Social Development
to provide housing
places.
Housing New Zealand
owns 358 properties in the
Bryndwr area, including the
house that was once home to
former prime minister John Key.
The petition will run “as long
as necessary,” according to Ms
Scott.

been released to potential providers
and those interested will
be invited to a market sounding
session with Treasury.

Retired coroner gets new year honour
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
TWENTY-ONE YEARS of
investigating deaths has led to
retired coroner Richard McElrea
being recognised on the New
Year Honours List.
Mr McElrea, 72, of Fendalton,
who was instrumental in
establishing the Coroners’
Council in 1998, was awarded
the Companion of the Queen’s
Service Order.
He said it was a privilege to
work as a coroner, and he was
lucky enough to have worked in
both the old and the new coroner
system which was established in
2007.
Born in Dunedin, Mr McElrea
attended Otago Boys’ High
School before going on to gain
a Bachelor of Arts at Otago
University and a law degree at
Canterbury University.
He became a partner at law
firm Duncan Cotterill in 1970
before being appointed a coroner
for the Canterbury region in
1994.
“It wasn’t something I always
thought I would go into but it is
just an opportunity that arose
and I have had the privilege of
having two careers in the law,”
he said.
In 1998, Mr McElrea helped

found and chaired the Coroners’
Council which, he said, was an
important part of the coroner
support system.
“We started having meetings .
. . we worked together to try and
bring about change which would
mean more resources for corners
and that all occurred,” he said.
After the establishment, the
council began liaising with the
Ministry of Justice and other
coroners from overseas, setting
up a best practice.
As well as his services as a
coroner, Mr McElrea was recognised
for his former role as chair
of the Antarctic Heritage Trust,
which is responsible for the care
of the original explorer bases in
the Ross Dependency region of
the Antarctica.
Before he became a lawyer, he
worked as a New Zealand Antarctic
volunteer in the 1970s.
He continued his interest by
interviewing survivors from
Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton’s
Trans-Antarctica expedition of
1914-1917 and co-authored a
book Polar Castaways.
In the mid-1980s as president
of the New Zealand Antarctic
Society, he became involved in
the formation of the Antarctic
Heritage Trust which ensures
expedition bases and thousands
of artefacts are preserved.
“It is as if I have been there

yesterday, such are the sharpness
of the images one experiences
down there,” he said.
He was one of four residents
from the north-west of the city to
be named on the honours list.
John Harrington, of Burnside,
was recognised for services to
youth, while Charles Shadbolt, of
Mairehau, was honoured for his
work in the New Zealand Fishing
Industry and philanthropy.
Alison Wilkie, of Merivale,
was honoured for services to
health and education. Mrs
Wilkie set up the Canterbury
Asthma Society in 1972.

Former Burnside basketball
guard makes jump to US
• By Gordon Findlater
TOBY GILLOOLY is the latest
Canterbury basketballer to
secure a United States college
scholarship after a standout
secondary school spell with
Burnside High School.
In 2016, Gillooly averaged 14
points, nine rebounds and three
assists per game, while shooting
57 per cent from the field for
his school. The 18-year-old will
head to New Mexico Highlands
University next week to begin a
four-year scholarship.
Gillooly made the decision to
join the university after visiting
New Mexico late last year.
“The coach was it for me, he
seemed like a really enthusiastic
and smart coach. I really like
where the basketball programme
is heading and I feel like I’ll be
able to fit in well straight away,”
said Gillooly.
The 193cm guard is the second
Christchurch basketballer in a
week to announce he has a college
scholarship.
Last week, Christchurch Boys’
High School’s Quinn Clinton
revealed he will play for the University
of New Mexico.
Clinton was the standout
player in last year’s local secondary
school competition, with
many viewing Gillooly as the
competition’s second most valuable
player.
RISING HIGH: Toby Gillooly (left) played for Canterbury in the
under-19 national basketball championships last year.
Only 90 minutes on the road
will separate the two, with
Gillooly based in Las Vegas,
New Mexico, and Clinton in
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
“We’re really good mates off
the court. We will actually play
each other in pre-season and
it will be really cool having
(Clinton) just down the road,”
Gillooly said.
He has been part of the Mainland
Eagles Academy for the
past two years and played for the
Canterbury Rams under coach
Mark Dickel in 2016.
“(Gillooly) has earned this opportunity.
His new coach Craig
Snow is getting a player who can
play right away. Toby is a winner,”
said Dickel.
New Mexico Highlands University
competes in the NCAA
Rocky Mountain Athletic
Conference. Last season, they
finished with a 12-8 record in the
conference and a 14-14 record
overall.
A number of current Australian
National Basketball League
players have competed in the
Rocky Mountain Athletic
Conference, including Mark
Worthington, David Barlow,
Jesse Wagstaff, Mitch McCarron
and Nicholas Kay.
Gillooly leaves for New Mexico
on Sunday.

DYLAN HEAP will go into
next week’s Christchurch
International Tennis Federation
tournament on a high.
The 16-year-old has done the
double, capturing his second
straight age group national
tennis title in a marathon final at
Wilding Park last week.
Heap, who plays his club
tennis for Waimairi, was made
to go the distance in the 16 and
under New Zealand Junior
Championships final, which
lasted two and a half hours on
Friday.
Heap took the first set against
Hutt Valley’s George Stoupe in
comfortable fashion 6-2. The
second set was a different story
with Stoupe fighting back to take
it 6-4.
The third and final set went
the distance with a tie-breaker
required after the scores were
locked at six a piece. Not even
the tie-breaker could be decided
easily as Heap won it narrowly
9-7 to complete a 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (7)
victory.
Later in the tournament, Heap
teamed up with his Junior Davis
Cup teammate Macsen Sisam to
also win the doubles title with
a 6-3, 6-4 win over William
Brownlie and Stoupe.

Heap has perfect build up
to Chch ITF tournament
BACK TO BACK: Dylan Heap
has won the under-16 national
tennis championships ahead
of next week’s Christchurch
ITF tournament. ​
Heap will now turn his
attention to gaining valuable
junior world ranking points at
three ITF tournaments in New
Zealand over the next month.
The Christchurch tournament

Crummer looking
Annie Crummer found fame
with hits such as Language and
See What Love Can Do. She
spoke to Tom Doudney about
working on new material and
seeing dyslexia as a blessing,
ahead of her performance with
Debbie Harwood, Margaret
Urlich and Sharon O’Neill
at Lincoln’s Selwyn Sounds
concert in March
IT HAS been a long time
since we’ve heard anything
new from Annie Crummer
but the singer is hopeful
her fans won’t have to wait
too much longer.
Crummer hasn’t released
a full album of original material
since 1996’s Seventh
Wave. Since then fans have
had to make do with a best
of collection in 2002 and
three songs released in 2010
as singles only.
While she is reluctant to
talk about release dates, she
has been working on songs
for an album which has
a working title of Project
Annie C.
“I have got a bunch of
songs that I am dying to get
out of the demo situation
and get into the studio and
smash that stuff out, I’m
the only one stopping me,”
she said.
“I’ve got a lot more to say
musically, I will just have to
get over myself and get on
with it.”
Crummer said that while
she was known more as a
singer than a songwriter,
she had become more
confident dabbling in song
writing.
“Melodies come really
good to me but the way I
write lyrics is quite odd because
I am fully dyslexic so
the way I explain things, I
don’t think it’s the same as
a non-dyslexic song writer.”
Crummer only discovered
she was dyslexic well
into her adult years but the
revelation came as a big
relief.
“When I look back I
think: ‘Oh, I have been
blessed with dyslexia, that’s
all.’ I just learn things differently,”
she said.
“I forgave myself for
feeling so dumb all these
years because I left school
really early and now when I
look back at all the subjects
I took it had nothing to do
with anything technical, it
all had to do with creative
stuff.”

forward to reunion at Lincoln event
Those subjects included classes
on art, Maori culture and,
perhaps surprisingly, typing –
because she could just copy the
patterns without thinking about
the words.
That ability to recognise
patterns helped her land a leading
role in the Australian version of
Ben Elton’s hit musical-theatre
production We Will Rock You,
based on the songs of British rock
band Queen, in 2003. To get the
part of Killer Queen, Crummer
had to audition in front of
Queen guitarist Brian May and
drummer Roger Taylor.
“I had to learn the English
phonetically and that is actually
how I learn music too, I listen
to where heart is needed and
where anger is needed and all the
emotions, I just emulate those
inflections without really knowing
what I am talking about, but I
have just fooled everyone,” she
said.
“I can’t believe I got that role, if
only they knew how I did it. But
it did catch up on me a couple of
times on stage where I’d fumble
over a word because I didn’t fully
understand it and I had to dig my
way out of it, live.”
She said that while the way
dyslexic people figured things out

might be different, the outcome
could be incredible.
Crummer, who lives in
Auckland, said she loved that
performing enabled her to travel.
She always looked forward to
playing with Harwood, Urlich
and O’Neill, sometimes joined
by Shona Laing, with the singers
typically doing about three or
four shows together a year.
She was looking forward to
reuniting with them for Selwyn
Sounds.
“I’m a huge fan of theirs and we
have the utmost respect for each
other so it’s a joy all round, a real
buzz.”
The concert will also feature
Kiwi rock heavyweights Mi-Sex,
Dragon, The Jordan Luck Band
and Jason Kerrison.
When she was not performing
with Harwood and co or going
solo, she often joined her father’s
band, Will Crummer and the
Rarotongans, playing songs
which mostly sung in Cook
Island Maori. Crummer took a
more low key role in the band,
playing the pahu and putting in
some occasional backing vocals.
She didn’t mind stepping back
from the spotlight and credited
her father with setting her on the
path to stardom.
“He gave me the gift of music,”
she said.
“I do count my blessings, that’s
a daily ritual for me, the fact that
I can do music and have never
had a job.”
•Selwyn Sounds will be held
on March 4, from 11.30am-
8.30pm. Tickets can be
purchased via Ticketek and
buyers will be able to prepurchase
a return bus ride
between pick-up points in
Christchurch or Rolleston
and Lincoln Domain.

Pine bark may support
brain function
Recent news from Auckland University
of Technology has people excited about a
pine bark extract called Enzogenol. AUT
reported that patients suffering memory
loss and other brain problems after a
traumatic brain injury recovered better
when taking Enzogenol compared to a
control group.
Enzogenol is not a new product, though.
In fact, it was developed at Canterbury
University and has been in our health
food shops for over 10 years. According to
ENZO Nutraceuticals, the company that
produces the product, a number of research
studies have shown how Enzogenol can
help improve brain function and support
healthy blood circulation.
The amazing thing is, it is made from
the bark of New Zealand Pinus Radiata
with an extraction method that uses only
purified water. Apparently, the pine bark
is full of healthy plant compounds that
are naturally part of our diet when we eat
fruits and vegetables. Yet, the pine bark is
loaded with these natural antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory compounds and makes
a great starting material for this health
product. Keen on a chewing a bit of pine
bark?

All the benefits of
double glazing
Amazing Glazing has been going from
strength to strength since it’s inception in
2004. Max Dorfliger who established the
business that offers specially run mouldings
of Peninsula macrocarpa to secure a second
pane of 4mm glass onto existing wooden
frames, has recently brought Gunter Dehne
into the business. Gunter, a Cabinetmaker
by trade and a technology teacher for many
years, was keen to be back on the tools and
excited to be adding such value to people’s
lives. Existing timber joinery is preserved
while a home is effectively double ‐glazed.
All the benefits of double ‐glazing like
insulation, reduced heating cost and
noise reduction are obtained, without the
prohibitive cost of complete replacement.
The insulation of Amazing Glazing is
better than many standard double glazing
solutions due to the increased air space
between the panes.
The dryer conditions during the summer
months make this the best time to install
Amazing Glazing.
Frames can be oiled for a natural wood
finish, or painted in the colour of your
choice, to blend in with the existing look.

The importance of
good blood
pressure!
Aspire
Canterbury
Blood Pressure is an indicator of
cardiovascular as well as overall health.
Healthy blood flow is vital for a healthy
body as the blood plasma transports
nutrients, hormones, metabolic waste,
oxygen and CO2 throughout the body. An
area in the brain keeps check on blood flow
to ensure health of all cells and the organs
they make up. If blood flow is reduced the
brain will try to normalise blood flow by
adjusting the heart strength, frequency
(Pulse Rate) as well as the width of blood
vessels all via the nervous system. Over
a period of time the blood pressure may
keep increasing due to the deterioration
of blood flow. A higher B/P is not ideal
and is considered a major risk factor for
strokes, aneurysm, organ failure and heart
failure. Even moderate elevation of B/P is
considered a major reason for shorter life
expectancy. If we can maintain our B/P in
the normal range our overall health will be
improved. Systolic B/P (The upper figure)
is when the heart contracts and pushes
blood around the body. Ideally at rest this
should be between 100 to 120. The diastolic
B/P (The lower figure) is the pressure in the
arteries between beats and ideally at rest
this should be between 60 to 70.
It has been found in around 90% of
cases high blood pressure is caused by
an increase in the resistance to blood
flow in the blood vessels. It is believed
inflammation and stiffness of the blood
vessels are major reasons for this increased
resistance. Checking our blood pressure on
a regular basis allows us to adjust our diet
and lifestyle and see the benefits in our B/P
readings.
Blood Pressure monitors and further
information on how to improve your
overall health and B/P naturally is
available from the natural health advisers
at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy,
110 Seaview Road, New Brighton, Phone:

IS THERE a lady in the
city who would like to
be spoiled. A lady that
is single, maybe lonely,
maybe on your own, and
would like a partner to
do things with. A lady
who is spontaneous, well
presented, available, and
enjoys the nice things
of life. Perhaps shy and
has never replied to a
newspaper ad before..
Take a chance..write to
Andy P.O. Box 1919,

replies will be answered.
MAN is on a mission
to find a hungry lady

of love. 0276594425
