St Barnabas returns<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ST BARNABAS will reopen its<br />
doors on Sunday – almost six<br />
years after it was badly damaged<br />
in the <strong>February</strong> 2011 earthquake.<br />
The iconic Fendalton Rd<br />
church has undergone $2 million<br />
in repairs.<br />
It will be celebrating the opening<br />
at 10am on Sunday, <strong>February</strong><br />
19, just before the six-year anniversary<br />
of the quake.<br />
St Barnabas vicar Mark<br />
Chamberlain said most church<br />
members have not yet been<br />
inside the church.<br />
Bishop of the Anglican<br />
Diocese of Christchurch,<br />
Victoria Matthews, will speak<br />
at the opening service. A special<br />
choir of church members and<br />
others around the city will sing<br />
at the opening.<br />
Items, such as the church’s<br />
bible, baptism jug and music<br />
books, which were removed from<br />
the church at the time of the<br />
earthquake, have been returned.<br />
Rev Chamberlain said the<br />
returning items were “symbolic”<br />
of the church’s opening.<br />
The repairs involved<br />
earthquake strengthening and<br />
repairing stonework and the<br />
stained glass windows.<br />
The strengthening has brought<br />
the church up to at least 67<br />
per cent of the new building<br />
standard.<br />
Extensive fundraising to pay<br />
for the work was done by the<br />
church congregation, which had<br />
been using the adjacent hall since<br />
St Barnabas closed.<br />
St Barnabas was originally<br />
built as a memorial church<br />
honouring those who died in<br />
World War 1.<br />
It has been home to many<br />
influential Christchurch<br />
figures through its long history,<br />
including vicar and broadcaster<br />
Canon Bob Lowe and vicar<br />
Michael Underhill who went on<br />
to become dean of Christchurch.<br />

SUNDAY WILL be a big day in<br />
the Nor’west, and indeed across<br />
Christchurch – St Barnabas<br />
reopens.<br />
The earthquake repairs have<br />
been six years in the making,<br />
and seeing one of the city’s older<br />
buildings restored to its former<br />
glory is simply great.<br />
St Barnabas is obviously a treasure<br />
for those who use it for worship,<br />
weddings and other things.<br />
But is also pleasing on the eye<br />
asthetically for those who don’t<br />
stop but are travelling to and from<br />
the airport.<br />
On page 3 today we have the<br />
latest update on Aaron Keown’s<br />
bid to get lights in at the intersection<br />
of Harewood, Gardiners and<br />
Breens Rd.<br />
Keown has this issue by the tail<br />
and he’s not letting go.<br />
And he still has that $100 he<br />
has pledged to give away in his<br />
pocket. - Barry Clarke<br />

Keown steps up campaign<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
CITY COUNCILLOR Aaron<br />
Keown’s campaign to get<br />
traffic lights at the Harewood,<br />
Gardiners and Breens Rds<br />
intersection led to a public<br />
turnout of almost 100 people<br />
last week.<br />
Cr Keown held a public<br />
meeting at the site and was<br />
surprised at the turnout.<br />
Most residents were “dumbfounded”<br />
that a set of lights<br />
had not been put at the intersection<br />
and the remedy was<br />
“ridiculously obvious,” he said.<br />
One person was against the<br />
idea of lights, but everyone<br />
else was in support of them, he<br />
said.<br />
Cr Keown said doing it the<br />
“opposite way around” and<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
using the wisdom of the local<br />
community to drive the design<br />
requirements made the evening<br />
a real success.<br />
He said having a meeting on<br />
a roadside to get design ideas<br />
is not the “norm” and plans<br />
would usually be made by city<br />
council staff then presented to<br />
the public. His last chance to<br />
get the intersection in the city<br />
council’s annual budget is next<br />
week’s city council meeting,<br />
but Cr Keown said he needs<br />
public support.<br />
Cr Keown campaigned for<br />
improvements to the intersection<br />
in the run up to last year’s<br />
local body elections.<br />
“I’ve got to get the community<br />
to turn up . . . it’s really,<br />
really important that people<br />
submit,” he said.<br />
AARON KEOWN still has<br />
the $100 he promised to give<br />
the person who could identify<br />
a worse intersection than the<br />
Harewood, Gardiners and<br />
Breens Rds injunction.<br />
Cr Keown issued the challenge<br />
in a bid to strengthen his<br />
belief the Bishopdale intersection<br />
was the worst in the city.<br />
Two people, Ashley Harvey<br />
and Hamish Middleton, both<br />
of Northwood, came forward<br />
to claim the $100. They said<br />
the Neill St, Canterbury St and<br />
Main South Rd intersection in<br />
Hornby met the requirements.<br />
But Cr Keown said that<br />
intersection was no worse than<br />
the Harewood, Gardiners and<br />
UNSAFE: A meeting about the intersection of Harewood,<br />
Breens and Gardiners Rds was attended by almost 100 people.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
$100 intersection challenge still for the taking<br />
Breens Rds junction, so therefore<br />
no payout.<br />
“It’s got to be worse, it can’t<br />
just be the same. More lanes to<br />
cross or more kids in the area,”<br />
he said.<br />
The intersection covers 10<br />
lanes like the Bishopdale intersection<br />
and is near The Hub<br />
Hornby and Sockburn School.<br />
“That intersection isn’t on the<br />
radar for a change, maybe that’s<br />
why it’s been a suggestion . . .<br />
I’m interested to look at it next.”<br />
In Brief<br />
ABBERLEY PARK CONCERN<br />
St Albans residents are unhappy<br />
with Abberley Park’s announced<br />
playground upgrade. The<br />
Friends of Abberley Park group<br />
has made a submission to the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board expressing<br />
its concern over the loss of green<br />
space and “special character” of<br />
the park in favour of playground<br />
extensions.<br />
TOY LIBRARY FUNDING<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board has approved $3000 of<br />
funding for the Shirley Toy<br />
Library. The funding will go<br />
towards librarian wages. The<br />
board stressed the importance<br />
of the library to the community,<br />
which operates out of<br />
Hammersley Park School. It has<br />
been running since the Burwood<br />
and St Albans toy libraries<br />
merged in 2009.<br />
NO STOPPING<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board has decided to install<br />
no-stopping restrictions on the<br />
corner of Main North Rd and<br />
Tuckers Rd. It will prevent cars<br />
parking near the corner on the<br />
northern side of the road in an<br />
effort to reduce the build up of<br />
traffic turning right from Tuckers<br />
Rd onto Main North Rd.<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
Lawrence shows he still has<br />
Three north-west gardens have won awards<br />
at the Christchurch Beautifying Association<br />
summer garden competition. Julia Evans reports<br />
NORTHWOOD’S Peter<br />
Lawrence had a bulldozer<br />
through his property early last<br />
year but downsizing hasn’t<br />
stopped him from adding<br />
another premier garden award to<br />
his 80-strong collection.<br />
Mr Lawrence won four awards<br />
in the Christchurch Beautifying<br />
Association’s summer garden<br />
competition, including the Ruske<br />
and Walsh cups for garden cultivation<br />
and maintenance.<br />
His new garden still looked<br />
“pretty good” but he was surprised<br />
to win the association’s<br />
top award, the Ruske Cup.<br />
Behind his modesty, a lot<br />
of time is spent creating and<br />
maintaining his gardens. Mr<br />
Lawrence said he is out there<br />
each day.<br />
“Starting with a water first<br />
thing each morning . . . every day<br />
is a new challenge.”<br />
Mr Lawrence said it was “good<br />
for the community and good for<br />
the individual” to take pride in<br />
their garden, especially because<br />
Christchurch is the garden city.<br />
In between maintaining his<br />
own property, Mr Lawrence also<br />
runs a gardening club and has<br />
judged the street and garden<br />
awards across the city.<br />
Association president<br />
Ron Andrew said in spite of<br />
downsizing his garden by<br />
half, Mr Lawrence deserved the<br />
win.<br />
“He sets an example for the<br />
other members and the standard<br />
is extremely high,” Mr Andrew<br />
said.<br />
Although Mr Lawrence wins<br />
a lot of awards, new gardeners<br />
were not discouraged from<br />
entering the garden competition.<br />
There were more entries this year<br />
than any other.<br />
Northwood residents Janet<br />
and Brian Lovelock also won<br />
seven awards in the competition.<br />
This included the best display<br />
of flowers and colour impact;<br />
outdoor living; residential<br />
driveway display and the<br />
continuing standard awards.<br />
Mrs Lovelock said they were<br />
thrilled to have won.<br />
Since retiring, the pair have<br />
spent all their time together<br />
in the garden, but that doesn’t<br />
always make for a relaxing day.<br />
“It’s full pressure, but it’s<br />
still enjoyable or we wouldn’t<br />
compete,” said Mrs Lovelock.<br />
For them, the real beauty<br />
comes from encouraging new<br />
gardeners, and Mrs Lovelock<br />
said if their garden inspires other<br />
people “it’s worth it.”<br />
They have been competing in<br />
the garden competition for six<br />
years since moving into their<br />
new house but have already lost<br />
count of the awards they’ve won.<br />
Another north-west resident,<br />
Peter Van der Zee, also won a<br />
pair of awards.<br />
His gold in the best tree/<br />
shrub category and silver in the<br />
Herbert Cup will now sit next<br />
to Mr Van der Zee’s 251 other<br />
gardening awards collected over<br />
the past 30 years.<br />
Although he has a massive<br />
collection of gardening titles, Mr<br />
Van der Zee said winning now is<br />
still as exciting as when he won<br />
GOLD: Peter<br />
Lawrence’s<br />
garden has<br />
taken another<br />
top prize in the<br />
Christchurch<br />
Beautifying<br />
Association<br />
summer<br />
garden<br />
competition.<br />

GEOFF SLOAN<br />
his first award, which was for<br />
best novice garden.<br />
He spends a few hours every<br />
day in his garden and said the<br />
awards are “just the icing on the<br />
cake” to his favourite past time.<br />
Gardening was a passion of his<br />
which was passed down from his<br />
grandfather and parents.<br />
Mr Van der Zee said he will<br />
buy a drink for anyone who can<br />
spot his grandfather’s old push<br />
mower still hidden in his garden.<br />

Britney said<br />
she is proud to<br />
be head girl at<br />
Papanui High<br />
School for <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
Her main goal<br />
as head girl is to<br />
encourage and<br />
foster school spirit.<br />
Britney has been a representative<br />
of the New Zealand karate<br />
team since 2009, when she first<br />
competed in the World Karate<br />
Cup. She will complete at the<br />
junior world under 21 karate<br />
competitions in Spain in October<br />
this year.<br />
Her academic aim is to achieve<br />
NCEA level 3 and to study for a<br />
Bachelor of Applied Sports Science<br />
at Ara in 2018.<br />
Head boy:<br />
Mikael Ewans<br />
Mikael said it<br />
is a privilege to<br />
be head boy at<br />
Papanui High<br />
School this year.<br />
His main goal as head boy is<br />
to support and reinforce the inclusive<br />
nature of the school and<br />
wider community.<br />
He is currently training towards<br />
his black belt in karate.<br />
His academic aim is to achieve<br />
NCEA level 3 with excellence<br />
and study for a Bachelor of Engineering<br />
at Canterbury University<br />
in 2018.<br />
St Andrew’s College<br />
Head girl: Elizabeth Stevenson<br />
Elizabeth is<br />
a former New<br />
Zealand<br />
trampoline<br />
champion, and<br />
has received<br />
awards from<br />
AMP and the<br />
North Canterbury Sportsperson<br />
of the Year.<br />
She plays the piano, is a member<br />
of the college’s Maadi Cup<br />
rowing squad, and has provided<br />
voluntary help for a number of<br />

Heads of school: Shilah Norman<br />
and Kodie North<br />
Shilah (right)<br />
chaired the<br />
Mairehau High<br />
School Student<br />
Council in 2016.<br />
Under her leadership,<br />
many new<br />
school initiatives and projects<br />
were successfully introduced,<br />
including a new school jacket.<br />
Both girls volunteered their<br />
time in the community as part<br />
of the Student Volunteer Army,<br />
and were involved in leadership<br />
opportunities outside of school,<br />
such as Canterbury University’s<br />
leadership day and the Deloittes<br />

privileged to<br />
have the opportunity<br />
to be involved<br />
with and<br />
work alongside a<br />
diverse range of girls within the<br />
school.<br />
Our theme for this year is ‘be<br />
bold and break barriers.’ Being<br />
bold includes encouraging girls<br />
to step outside of their comfort<br />
zone and back themselves by saying<br />
“yes” to new opportunities.<br />
I can’t wait to see what barriers<br />
we break together and the<br />
impact that we can have on our<br />
community in the future.<br />
Burnside High School<br />
Head girl: Izzy Prasad<br />
Head boy: Sam Burt<br />
Deputy head girl: Jess Cliffe<br />

St Bede’s College<br />
Head boy - Harry Staples<br />
It is incredibly humbling being<br />
chosen to lead St Bede’s College<br />
in <strong>2017</strong>. Often you’ll find me involved<br />
in initiatives that support<br />
the community and embracing<br />
the unique values of St Bede’s, or<br />
out on the sidelines of sports fields<br />
coaching, captaining, playing or<br />
training for the sports I love.<br />
Deputy head boy: Adam<br />
Lyons<br />
Music and sport is important<br />
to who I am as a person. I take<br />
pride in my college playing both<br />
the saxophone and guitar as<br />
well as playing football in the St<br />
Bede’s College first XI.<br />
Deputy head boy: Jake McKay<br />
I’m all about the whole school<br />
pride and passion side of the<br />
college. I can’t get enough of<br />
the drama, I find that being on<br />
stage is the best thing since sliced<br />
bread. Most of all chanting my<br />
heart out on the side line to get<br />
the boys hyped for the Rugby!

Risk Management Officer<br />

Heed near misses to<br />
avoid another tragedy<br />
MOST PEOPLE will have read<br />
of the horrendous death of the<br />
young man in Woodham Rd<br />
from catching his clothing on<br />
fire. The final cause is still being<br />
investigated but this is a good<br />
example of something I have<br />
come to realise over years of<br />
being a fire investigator.<br />
That is the number of ‘near<br />
misses’ is many, many times the<br />
number of incidents we attend.<br />
Most of these ‘near misses’ occur<br />
without anyone being aware they<br />
have happened. But every now<br />
and then a perfect series of circumstances<br />
line up in a row and<br />
the result is fire. Sometimes, like<br />
in Woodham Rd, with a tragic<br />
outcome.<br />
A less serious outcome in<br />
Oram Ave, New Brighton, is<br />
a good example. It’s summer<br />
time. So the placing of a picture<br />
frame on the top of a freestanding<br />
fireplace is not unusual or<br />
even dangerous. Until we get<br />
an unseasonal cold snap and<br />
someone lights the fire to warm<br />
the house. Then goes out. In<br />
this case the result was only a<br />
smokelogged house. But one or<br />
two more circumstances, like it<br />
being bedtime, and perhaps a few<br />
drinks and we could have had<br />
another tragedy.<br />
A slightly closer near miss on<br />
the same day in Bishopdale saw<br />
some sleeping occupants remaining<br />
fast asleep as their smoke<br />
alarm shrieked. In this case it<br />
was food left cooking on the<br />
stove. The alarm was overheard<br />
by a neighbour and 111 called.<br />
Without the call? Who knows?<br />

Victory for residents as<br />
contractor moves out<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A CONTRACTING company<br />
which had Richmond residents<br />
up in arms has now vacated<br />
their site.<br />
Worthington Contracting had<br />
occupied the address in Guild<br />
St since the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011<br />
earthquake, after the Government<br />
put emergency legislation<br />
in place allowing contractors<br />
access to residential areas.<br />
After nearly six years residents<br />
were ready to see the back of<br />
the company and laid several<br />
complaints about dust plumes<br />
and sediment to Environment<br />
Canterbury.<br />
However, after a “collaborative<br />
conversation” between<br />
neighbours and the company,<br />
Worthington Contracting has<br />
now made a new premises home<br />
in North Canterbury.<br />
Founder Russell Worthington<br />
said they weren’t there to annoy<br />
the residents, it was a matter of<br />
proximity to their jobs, which<br />
have largely been in the east.<br />
“We’re listening to what<br />
they’re saying,” he said.<br />
They have now moved away.<br />
Although the company had<br />
GONE: Worthington Contractors have vacated this lot in<br />
suburban Richmond for a new North Canterbury site.<br />

Rangi Ruru students join<br />
global technology project<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
SIX RANGI Ruru Girls’ School<br />
students have become New<br />
Zealand’s only representatives<br />
selected for an international<br />
science, technology, engineering<br />
and mathematics project.<br />
From more than 4000<br />
applications worldwide, and 13<br />
across New Zealand, the Rangi<br />
Ruru students were selected to<br />
take part in the project, which is<br />
being run by the Junior Academy<br />
Programme.<br />
Jocelyn Bradley and Penny<br />
Dray, year 13, and Sam<br />
Summerfield, Amber Spurway,<br />
Sarah Lawrence and Lucy<br />
Anderson, year 11, were all<br />
selected for the project.<br />
The academy is a group of<br />
problem solvers made up of<br />
students; science, technology,<br />
engineering and mathematics<br />
experts; and companies from<br />
around the world, which<br />
are dedicated to designing<br />
innovative solutions to global<br />
challenges.<br />
Each student has been put<br />
in a different team with other<br />
teenagers from around the<br />
world.<br />
Amber’s group will be working<br />
with multi-national corporation<br />
PepsiCo to look into nutritional<br />
problems in developing<br />

“Our team has decided<br />
to build a rudimentary<br />
spectrophotometer to be used<br />
with our mobile phones, which<br />
will be able to measure iron<br />
levels in foods and soil levels,”<br />
Amber said.<br />
“This can be used in countries<br />
with acute malnutrition, so they<br />
can be informed on whether they<br />
are lacking iron.”<br />
She said her group was doing<br />
well at the moment, but there<br />
was quite a lot of time pressure.<br />
Once finished, the students<br />
will receive certificates of<br />
completion and gain access to a<br />
global network of students<br />
and professionals, including<br />
the New York Academy of<br />
Science.<br />
HELPING OUT: Mairehau High students Niko Smith and Erin<br />

Mairehau High tech upgrade<br />
MAIREHAU HIGH School<br />
received new desktop computers<br />
during the summer break as<br />
part of a planned upgrade.<br />
A lot of work was involved in<br />
setting up the new computers<br />
and disposing of the old ones.<br />
Students rallied to help with<br />
the upgrade rather than spend<br />
the remaining days of their<br />
school holidays relaxing.<br />
“It was wonderful to see the<br />
energy, enthusiasm and commitment<br />
to the task shown by<br />
these students over the course<br />
of two hot summer days,” said<br />
assistant principal Rebecca<br />
Swanson.<br />
“Mairehau High School is also<br />
grateful to Youthtown for its<br />
generous donation of $10,000<br />
towards the purchase of new<br />
chromebooks. The extra resourcing<br />
has been key in introducing<br />
BYOD (bring your own<br />
device) at year 9 this year, whilst<br />
ensuring that every student has<br />
access to the technology.”<br />

Burnside pair<br />
in NZ bowls<br />
development<br />
squad<br />
BURNSIDE’S CAIT Bassett<br />
and Richard Hocking are both<br />
in the New Zealand bowls<br />
development squad for <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
The pair are the only Cantabrians<br />
selected for the <strong>14</strong>-strong<br />
squad, which was named following<br />
last month’s national open<br />
championships.<br />
From this squad, a 10-person<br />
team will be selected for June’s<br />
series against Australia on the<br />
Gold Coast.<br />
Bassett was runner-up to fellow<br />
squad member Ashleigh Jeffcoat,<br />
of Waikato, in the national<br />
under-21 championships.<br />
Hocking is joined in the men’s<br />
team by the likes of 16-year-old<br />
Seamus Curtin, of Wellington,<br />
who was a singles silver medallist<br />
at the 2015 Youth Commonwealth<br />
Games and is the current<br />
under-18 national champion.<br />
The upcoming under-18 and<br />
under-21 championships now<br />
take on added importance as<br />
they will certainly influence the<br />
selectors thoughts when naming<br />
the 10-strong squad for the Gold<br />

Windsurfer ‘stoked’ with success<br />
• By Noah Graham<br />
MERIVALE HOUSE of<br />
Travel owner Annie Crombie<br />
is revelling in success after<br />
winning the windsurfing slalom<br />
national championships for the<br />
ninth time.<br />
Crombie faced five other<br />
competitors and battled through<br />
10 rounds of slalom races to<br />
finish with seven wins and was<br />
ahead by three seconds on the<br />
clock, which secured her title<br />
win.<br />
Crombie said the competition<br />
was tough and made her “puff a<br />
lot” but it was the first time since<br />
she started windsurfing competitively<br />
that she did not have<br />
nerves before the races<br />
in spite of the strong competition.<br />
The 49-year-old has<br />
windsurfed for more than 25<br />
years and started competing in<br />
2007.<br />
The races were harder this<br />
year than they ever had been,<br />
Crombie said.<br />
She said 19-year-old Lyttelton<br />
resident Fenella Bowater raced<br />
alongside and pushed her to the<br />
limit.<br />
The competitors this year were<br />
exceptional both on and off the<br />
water as they got along well inbetween<br />
races, often talking and<br />
having some fun, Crombie said.<br />
In the under-20 youth<br />
women’s event, Bowater took<br />
first spot and another Lyttelton<br />
competitor, 15-year-old Meg<br />
Rennie, came second.<br />
In the under-20 youth men’s<br />
event, a former Christ’s College<br />
student Thomas O’Neill and<br />
current student Ben Davie took<br />
the second and third spots.<br />
Terry Crombie, Annie’s<br />
husband, also competed in<br />
the men’s open and was<br />
winning for two days before<br />
Maui’s Peter John passed from<br />
behind.<br />
Crombie said windsurfing<br />
runs through her family’s genes.<br />
Her 15-year-old daughter,<br />
Kate, is also a keen windsurfer.<br />

Clinton to meet NBA stars<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
QUINN CLINTON will<br />
test his skills against some<br />
of the world’s top young<br />
basketballers in New Orleans<br />
at the weekend.<br />
Clinton, 18, won a spot<br />
at the Basketball Without<br />
Borders global event after he<br />
was named the all-star game<br />
MVP at the BWB Asia camp<br />
in Melbourne last year.<br />
“It will be a step up from<br />
Melbourne because it’s now<br />
the best guys in the world. It<br />
will be really cool to see how I<br />
match up against guys my age<br />
from different countries,” said<br />
Clinton.<br />
The former Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School student<br />
will also get to experience the<br />
NBA All-Star game, which<br />
the BWB camp coincides<br />
with.<br />
“It’s going to be pretty special<br />
seeing all of those guys,<br />
who are the best in the world<br />
essentially. I’ll be like a kid in<br />
a candy shop,” said Clinton.<br />
The guard will get to see<br />
the likes of LeBron James,<br />
Steph Curry and Kevin<br />
Durant in action in Sunday’s<br />
all star game as well as the<br />
three-point contest and dunk<br />
contest on Saturday.<br />
He will be one of two Kiwis<br />
at the camp, joined by Wellington’s<br />
Taane Samuel.<br />
“I’m really looking forward<br />
to this experience. It’s going<br />
to be great for Taane and<br />
I to represent our country<br />
together and help promote<br />
New Zealand basketball on<br />
the world stage. I’m keen to<br />
learn as much as I can from<br />
the NBA coaches and players,<br />
and get an insight into what<br />
it means to play at this higher<br />
level,” said Clinton.<br />
In December, Clinton<br />
played a crucial role in New<br />
Zealand’s 57-51 win over<br />
Australia in the final of the<br />
under-18 FIBA Oceania<br />
Championship, which saw<br />
them qualify for the inder-19<br />
World Championship in<br />
Egypt in July.<br />
Clinton, the Junior Tall<br />
Blacks captain, top scored for<br />
New Zealand in the final with<br />
<strong>14</strong> points.<br />
After a much-deserved<br />
break over the Christmas<br />
period, Clinton is now fully<br />
focused on preparing himself<br />
for the upcoming NBL season<br />
with the Canterbury Rams.<br />
He is currently training every<br />
day of the week ahead of the<br />
season opener on March 19.<br />
Following the NBL season,<br />
Clinton will move to Albuquerque,<br />
New Mexico, in August<br />
to begin his basketball<br />
scholarship at the University<br />
of New Mexico.<br />
SPORTS<br />
SHOT: Quinn Clinton will play against the world’s best<br />
juniors and watch the top NBA players in New Orleans at<br />
the weekend.<br />

CHAMPIONS: The Linwood Keas defeated the Hornby Panthers to take out the<br />
Crosbie Nines.<br />
Keas win Crosbie Nines<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
LINWOOD Keas took<br />
the spoils at the annual<br />
Crosbie Nines on<br />
Saturday.<br />
The tournament, hosted<br />
by the Riccarton Knights<br />
at Crosbie Park, is now<br />
in its third year and was<br />
played in perfect conditions.<br />
The 16-team tournament<br />
featured some of the<br />
South Island’s top clubs,<br />
as well as teams put together<br />
specifically for the<br />
tournament.<br />
“It was a great day, the<br />
first game was at nine in<br />
the morning and the final<br />
finished up just before six.<br />
The tournament’s great<br />
for bringing everyone<br />
together. We had nearly<br />
all the premiership teams<br />
there and some out-oftown<br />
teams from Nelson<br />
and Timaru,” said former<br />
Kinghts president, Tony<br />
Grenfell.<br />
The Keas went unbeaten<br />
through pool play before<br />
going on to defeat the<br />
Hornby Panthers 17-12 in<br />
the grand-final.<br />
“It was really pleasing<br />
after a long day. It’s tough<br />
to get through six games<br />
but the boys dug deep and<br />
got the result we wanted,”<br />
said Keas coach Andrew<br />
Auimatagi.<br />
The plate competition<br />
was won by the Bro XIII<br />
club which defeated Hamo<br />
Boyz in their final.<br />
Crosbie Park saw a<br />
large turnout from club<br />
supporters and Grenfell<br />
felt the tournament was<br />
becoming more popular<br />
each year.<br />
“It was quite a big punt<br />
to begin with; we kind of<br />
went in blind but we were<br />
overwhelmed with<br />
how well it went,” said<br />
Grenfell.<br />
“The second year went<br />
even better and now we’re<br />
able to fine tune things a<br />
little bit to help improve<br />
the tournament each<br />
year.”<br />
The top clubs will now<br />
turn their attention to the<br />
club premiership, which<br />
starts on April 1.<br />
If you’re a parent of school-aged children, chances are<br />
that there is a subject they just don’t like. And for many<br />
kids, that subject is maths.<br />
Like many parents, Dale and Kirsty found that their<br />
daughter Sayler, 8, just didn’t understand maths and it<br />
was proving difficult to keep up at school. So, Dale and<br />
Kirsty decided it was time to give Sayler that extra help she<br />
needed and enrolled her in the Kumon Maths Programme<br />
at their local centre in Fendalton. It was during the August<br />
Free Trial, and so they decided to see if their older son Zach<br />
might enjoy Kumon Maths also.<br />
Six months later and both children are still doing daily<br />
worksheets with Kumon. Maths is now one of Zach’s<br />
favourite subjects and Sayler has demonstrated a real<br />
motivation for improving in her studies. That Kumon<br />
worksheets are timed makes this easy for Sayler to see, ‘She<br />
is really keen to beat her time. I think having those little<br />
goals certainly help’ said Dale.<br />
A sense of achievement can go a long way when it comes<br />
to engaging with maths. ‘Everyone likes it when they have<br />
success, don’t they? Being able to see that progress is great’<br />
said Kirsty.<br />
‘Kumon focuses on maths skills - exclusively and<br />
expertly’ said Marette Wells who runs the Kumon<br />
Fendalton Education Centre. ‘The ability of the student<br />
does not matter; Kumon brings confidence as they grow<br />
into their potential’.<br />
Kumon follows a method that develops self-learning in<br />
children which is important to parents like Kirsty. ‘I think<br />
it’s really important that our children know that if they<br />
need to find out how to do something then they have the<br />
skills to work it out.’<br />
For more information contact your local Kumon<br />
Education Centre or visit our website nz.kumonglobal.com<br />
Back to school with confidence<br />
At Kumon, students begin study at a level that allows them to build<br />
confidence from day one. Students progress through the programmes<br />
based on their ability rather than their age. Over time, students can study<br />
advanced material confidently and independently for success in school<br />
and everyday life.<br />
Contact your local Kumon Centre to hear how we can support your<br />
child’s learning.<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School’s premier tennis team have won the Christchurch<br />
qualifying tournament for next month’s South Island secondary school<br />
championships. Ava Willimann, Kyla Otway, Jade Feneon, Tessa McCann and<br />
Luka Simmers beat Christchurch Girls’ High School 6-0 and St Margaret’s<br />
College 4-2 in the tournament. Anne Bissland, Rangi Ruru’s premier tennis<br />
convener, said the girls’ played very well but have a busy competition<br />
schedule ahead of them this term. Last week’s result at Wilding Park means<br />
they will compete in the South Island tournament in Timaru on March 3-5,<br />
where they will also have the chance to qualify for a shot at a national title.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
Varicose veins treated<br />
quickly and effectively<br />
Transform Clinic in Mandeville Street<br />
Riccarton boasts a team of dedicated<br />
professionals, who include the clinic’s doctor,<br />
Ian Little, registered nurses and qualified<br />
beauty therapists, providing a wide range<br />
of appearance medicine and beauty therapy<br />
treatments for their clients.<br />
One of their main specialties is nonsurgical<br />
varicose vein removal. This is a<br />
simple, quick and effective walk-in walk-out<br />
treatment with no time off work required.<br />
Clients seeking advice about their varicose<br />
veins first undergo a free assessment, which<br />

if they need treatment, and if so, what the<br />

Two methods are offered – endo-venous<br />
laser treatment, which is used for both<br />
smaller and larger veins, and ultrasound<br />

is not recommended for four weeks after<br />
treatment.<br />
Transform Clinic has an affiliation<br />
with health provider Southern Cross and<br />
relationships with several other health<br />
insurance companies, which means clients<br />
may be covered for varicose vein treatment,<br />
providing it is included in their policy.<br />
Appearance medicine is another key<br />
aspect of Transform Clinic’s therapy options,<br />
with skin rejuvenation and skin-tightening<br />
treatments designed to improve skin quality<br />
as well as enhance self-esteem.<br />
Treatments include the Vampire Face Lift,<br />
which uses Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP, and<br />
Fraxel laser treatment. These treatments can<br />
be combined to achieve the desired results.<br />
Sclerotherapy is also used to remove<br />
superficial veins on the legs and face. In<br />
addition, the clinic offers mole mapping,<br />
mole removal and primary skin cancer<br />
removal.<br />
The Transform Clinic website,<br />
www.transformclinic.co.nz, has a wealth of<br />
information on the various treatments and<br />
regularly has special offers and promotions.<br />
They also suggest you ‘like’ their Facebook<br />

request to the correct replacements makes<br />
them the place to visit for all your vehicle<br />
lighting requirements.<br />
Conveniently located in Sydenham, they<br />
have an extensive range of replacement<br />
light fittings for most makes and models of<br />
Japanese, European and New Zealand new<br />
vehicles, both new and secondhand. They are<br />
fully checked and in perfect working order,<br />
and Braxton guarantee that all their fittings<br />
are warrantable.<br />
They import and export both new and used<br />
car parts so that whatever make or model<br />
your vehicle is, they may be able to help.<br />
Containers arrive monthly from abroad, full<br />
of new and used lamps, and within the BE<br />
Group, over 100,000 lamps are available.<br />
The team at Braxton Car Lights also<br />
specialises in repairs for light adjuster and<br />
light conversion of American car lights, and<br />
their repair service includes plastic welding,<br />
drying out and resealing, re-silvering and<br />
lens refurbishment. They work closely with<br />
garage workshops, and their services can be<br />
arranged through your own local garage on<br />
your behalf.<br />
Sales manager Richard Vernimmen says<br />
that their team is dedicated to saving their<br />
customers’ money, whether on late model<br />
cars with expensive parts or early models<br />
where replacements are hard to find. The team<br />
of three expert professionals at Braxton have<br />
over 60 years of experience between them<br />
in the automotive industry to help you with<br />
your needs.<br />
Their aim at Braxton is to supply their<br />
customers the parts that they require<br />
at a pocket-friendly price. And with<br />
heaps of available stock, they will do<br />
everything to provide a solution to their car<br />
light-searching exercise.<br />

AN ECLECTIC ESTABLISHMENT<br />
As featured in <strong>February</strong> STYLE Taste: Vanessa Ortynsky discovers<br />
Urban Corner Cafe has much more to offer than initially meets the eye.<br />
ON the former site of the Bower Hotel<br />
in New Brighton stands the Urban<br />
Corner Cafe (alongside with e<br />
Bower), which is one of the most<br />
eclectic establishments in the city.<br />
Urban Corner is uniquely<br />
Christchurch in that it’s constructed of<br />
18 shipping containers. It’s a standout<br />
on the landscape, situated near the<br />
residential red zone and overlooking<br />
the Avon River. Upon setting foot<br />
inside this spacious establishment, you<br />
immediately forget about its modular<br />
construction methods.<br />
With its warm and family-friendly<br />
vibe, Urban Corner has become a<br />
community hub for New Brighton<br />
locals. e restaurant serves up brunch, lunch and<br />
dinner on a daily basis. Menu items are seasonal and<br />
the Pork Belly Burger served with coleslaw and<br />
cranberry sauce is a must-try for summer.<br />
ere’s also a kids menu and a playground outside,<br />
catering to mums looking for a place to bring the little<br />
ones for a play date. ere’s Farmyard Animal Day with<br />
pony rides on the last Sunday of every month in<br />
summer, weather permitting, which includes a Llama<br />
with a bad haircut and ponies of all sizes. As well as a<br />
separate shipping container that can be hired for kids<br />
parties.<br />
With plenty of entertainment for the older crowd as<br />
well, ‘Stitch n Bitch’ is hosted by a local<br />
artists and is every second Monday.<br />
It’s an excellent spot to discover new<br />
Kiwi artists and local talent.<br />
e dining room is adorned with<br />
brightly-coloured kitschy decor. You<br />
can purchase any of the art that lines<br />
the walls of this establishment. You’re<br />
sure to get a laugh out of some of the<br />
quirky tongue-in-cheek posters and<br />
signage.<br />
Sharing the premises with e<br />
Bower proves advantageous as Urban<br />
Corner features an extensive beer and<br />
wine list without the central-city price<br />
tag. e Friday menu comes with a<br />
$20 price tag, there is always events<br />
and special deals - including Wednesday and ursday<br />
feed the family of four for $50. Keep an eye on their<br />
Facebook page for even more stellar specials. If you are<br />
looking for a takeaway, there is a full range of cabinet<br />
available too.<br />
A little bit different from your traditional cafe and<br />
bar, this friendly place is sure to delight. If you’re<br />
looking for a local eatery, or keen to experience the<br />
warmth and hospitality of the eastern suburbs. Urban<br />
Corner is a sure bet.<br />

Katie Thompson has been<br />
carving her pathway within<br />
the country music scene<br />
in New Zealand, although<br />
her sound transcends the<br />
singer-songwriter “format”,<br />
bleeding into genres as<br />
diverse as rock, pop, folk<br />
and more.<br />
