Bishop Matthews
reopens St Barnabas
VICTORIA MATTHEWS,
Bishop of the Anglican Diocese
of Christchurch, was keynote
speaker at the reopening of St
Barnabas Anglican Church.
The iconic church has been
repaired after earthquake
damage, with costs totalling $2
million. The funds were largely
raised by the parish.
St Barnabas vicar Mark
Chamberlain said it was a
marvellous first service and they
also held a history lecture, dinner
and variety concert.
The Tongan Anglican Community
Choir performed at the
ceremony.

Compromise
found on
size of
Abberley
playground
• By Julia Evans
RESIDENTS HAVE stopped a
major upgrade of playground
equipment at their local park
because they said it would take
up too much green space.
The upgrades were set to go
ahead in Abberley Park in March
and equipment was going utilise
more than double the space it
previously had taken.
However, after a meeting on
February 16, new plans have been
drafted. The Friends of Abberley
Park group, the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood Community
Board and city council staff met
to significantly reduce the space
the initial upgrade would have
taken.
City councillor and board
member Aaron Keown attended
the meeting and he said he was
confident the new proposal found
a compromise both parties could
be happy with.
The space taken up by play
equipment is less than it was and
the equipment has been moved so
it is no longer taking space away
from the park’s east lawn.
Cr Keown said he had received
emails from several members of
the group who were content with
the new proposed plans.

In Brief
TRAFFIC CONCERN
A Harewood residents’ group
has expressed concern over
the Kilmuir Lane/Harewood
Rd intersection. The Kilmuir
Residents’ Group said motorists
turning right out of the lane
have reduced visibility because
of cars parked on Harewood Rd.
The major issue is when sport is
being played at nearby Nunweek
Park. Residents said they have
all experienced at least one near
miss at the junction. The group
has submitted a letter to the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board asking for
no-stopping restrictions or
some other safety measure to be
installed.
UPGRADE FINISHED
Work on the intersection where
Westminster and Courtenay Sts
meet Roosevelt Ave has almost
finished. The roundabout has
been removed and turned into a
staggered T-intersection with a
speed bump, raised intersection
platform and pedestrian
refuge island. The road has
been narrowed and footpaths
widened to reduce the crossing
distance for pedestrians and
encourage slower driving in the
area, which has been reinforced
by the speed bump. St Albans
School pupils regularly use the
crossing.

Veterinary practice
Miracles do happen….
Misty is a 14 year old Rough Coated
Collie ( lassie dog) lovingly owned by
my parents. She’s never been a hugely
energetic dog but has the gentlest,
sweetest nature. She has had the odd
health issue and is currently taking
ongoing medication for arthritis of
multiple joints. She’s not a complainer
though and will still slowly walk around
my parents farm, her favourite pastime
being flushing out rabbits and doing
cattle work with my dad. Shes always
enjoyed a visit from Lola.
Very sadly late last year, Misty was
accidentally run over. My devastated
parents flew to the clinic where Steve
and our nurses immediately took
charge. Luckily they live very close. She
was remarkably alive and seemed in
minimal shock, not like my poor mum
and dad. Our nurses were fabulous – it
was like triage in a hospital ER room.
Whilst she was checked over for shock,
bleeding and fractures, the nurses were
placing an IV line in her, were pulling
bloods to check her internal organs and
organizing shock and pain medications.
I had to consult as it was a usual busy
Saturday clinic. I can tell you its very
hard to carry on as normal, when a dog
you know and love is at risk of dying
and I couldn’t be there to support my
mum and dad. I’m very thankful to my
husband Steve for arriving when he did
and taking full control of the situation.
Within 30 minutes of arriving Misty
actually looked improved. She wasn’t
wanting to stand, but her vital organs
were all confirmed fine from her
blood tests and her heart and lungs
sounded fine. She was on IV fluids and
we wanted to give her a little time on
fluids before we had to sedate and
xray her abdomen, chest and bones.
She was an incredible little patient,
never whimpering nor complaining
once. Miraculously Misty had broken
no bones – I was worried her pelvis or
worse her lower lumbar spine could
have fractured.
Misty was discharged later that night
into my parents care on a variety of
medications to ensure she was pain

free and comfortable. She certainly
wasn’t out of the woods but was better
than any of us could have believed.
She could walk, just, and was eating
and had urinated. Misty continued to
improve slowly over the coming days
becoming stronger and more mobile
but my dad had noticed what looked
like crusty scabs under her dense coat.
We discovered many of these blackened
areas and after shaving her back end it
became obvious that a large area of her
skin was “dying”, due to vascular ( blood
vessel) damage suffered at the time of
the accident.
Over the next 4 months a massive effort
was undertaken by my mum and dad
and Misty herself, to help heal these
very extensive skin wounds, comparable
to what you would see in burns victims.
The area of skin that sloughed off
initially was about 30cm by 20cm. The
wound has had to be cleaned, kept
moist and protected by bandaging for
the past 4 months. She was monitored
24/7 and kept inside a lot to protect
the bandages from slipping. Keeping
flies away was also a difficult task. She
has been so brave allowing us all to
clean and dress it for her but finally the
healing is nearly complete.
There were times when my mum wasn’t
sure we were getting anywhere and
whether we were doing the right thing
by her. She is an elderly dog and her
ongoing care required by my parents
was huge. But that aside, I could see
Misty wanted to push through and keep
going – she wasn’t ready to depart this
world. Plus she was so dearly loved by
my parents. It also helped that my mum
was a registered nurse so could easily
cope with large wounds and their care.
Give an animal time, have patience and
faith and show lots of love and miracles
can happen. Every day I thank the
higher powers that I am the one chosen
to care for all the animals.

Petrol tax for road repairs
and the benefits of diversity
City
councillor
Phil
Clearwater
has his say
on the use
of petrol tax to help
fix the city’s roads
and the importance
of diversity in the
community
Many streets and roads
in Christchurch still
require a lot more work to
bring them up to standard.
I have always had the
view that central Government
should be returning
some of the tax-take on
petrol to help fix Christchurch’s
streets.
I have never said or
supported any proposal
to have any additional tax
on petrol to help pay for
Christchurch’s earthquake
recovery. Christchurch
people have enough burdens
already and I would
not support this.
I have said that the city
has a special case for further
Government funding from
some of the petrol tax Government
already collects.

Fixing our streets and

a significant number live

Christchurch.
The world is divided
as to how we treat new
migrants, but I believe
we must find practical
ways to make them feel
welcome, as Christchurch
needs their skills and they
are an important part of
our communities.
Also, we have to
remember that, at some
stage in our history, all of
our forebears immigrated

Young musician already a master
• By Bridget Rutherford
ALEXANDRA Watson doesn’t
have a favourite instrument to
play.
She plays five – and she also
sings. But the violin will be
her instrument of choice at the
National Schools’ Symphony Orchestra
of Great Britain in July.
The 15-year-old St Margaret’s
College student will be the only
young musician to perform from
outside the United Kingdom.
“It’s definitely a talking point,”
she said.
It will be the sixth year
she has taken part in the
week-long camp of rehearsals
and performances for young
musicians aged between nine
and 19.
She auditioned to join at
the age of 10 while living in
Eastbourne, West Sussex, and
has been invited back every year
since.
She has moved her way up to
the senior orchestra, which is for
musicians grade eight or above.
The orchestra will be conducted
by Richard Dickins, director
of music at London’s Imperial
College – where Alexandra
hopes to study one day.
“When I leave school I want to
study physics and music.”
Alexandra started singing and
playing the violin when she was
two.
Since then, she has also taken
up the piano, flute, chello and
harp – all of which she has
reached or is about to reach
grade eight in.
“I just kept picking them up.”
She is also part of a number of
choirs and, in her school breaks,
studies song writing and theory
at Canterbury University.
Alexandra has also been
selected for a place in the New
Zealand Symphony Orchestra
Mentoring Programme with
associate concertmaster Donald
Armstrong.
Music is not her only passion.
She also wants to work at NASA.
She has attended two space
camps in Huntsville, Alabama,
and loved them.

Alexandra and her parents
will head to the UK in July for
the orchestra camp at Malvern
College and will visit her
grandmother during their stay.
She said every time she had
attended, she had learnt a lot.
“It’s the experience of being in
such a high-quality orchestra,
even though it’s secondary
students, everyone is of a high
level of playing.”

compromise
found
•From page 1
Friends of Abberley Park group
members Maggie Andrews and
Patricia Wallace both said the
loss of green space didn’t take the
versatility of the whole park into
consideration.
Mrs Wallace said the new
proposal is not ideal but she
thinks it is as good as they’re
going to get.
There are some things
the group would like more
clarification on such as whether
the playground will extend past
the central park bench.
She said it has become hard to
get explanations around the finer
points of the proposal.
Project manager Steven Gray
said the new proposal will be put
towards the community board
before it is finalised.
At this stage construction is still
set to begin in March.
Leaflets were delivered to 1300
residents before city council
staff planned the first proposal
but Miss Andrews said it was
not made clear that this was not
a simple upgrade of existing
playground equipment but a
$150,000 upgrade and extension.

A ST Albans business made $40
a day while cycleway upgrades
removed parking from outside
the shop.
Rutland St Dairy owner Jackson
Zhuang said he made only
20 per cent of his usual takings
over several days in February.
Mr Zhuang said the $40 daily
take would not cover wages,
rent, insurance, rates, orders for
the shop or the power bill, let
alone the mortgage on his home
and supporting his family.
A post on Facebook from Mr
Zhuang’s regular customers was
shared more than 100 times and
generated a boost in customers
over the weekend.
He said his takings were up
for a few days and he was happy
with the way the community rallied
to support local businesses.
The roadworks had moved
from directly outside the shop,
but Mr Zhuang said the afternoons
were still very quiet.
“Before 3pm is fine, but after
three we are very quiet and after
three is usually our main selling
time,” he said.
The Papanui Parallel cycleway
upgrades began outside the shop
three weeks ago as part of the
city council’s wider cycleway

In Brief
$40 a DAY: The Rutland St Dairy has only made 20 per cent of
its usual takings over several days due to work on upgrading
the Papanui Parallel cycleway.
programme and will continue
until May.
The cycleway will cut parking
to one side of Rutland St, but after
local businesses complained
to the city council, its has tried
to limit their losses.
Mr Zhuang said the city
council should be spending the
money on harder hit areas of
Christchurch like New Brighton
or the central city.
“I hope the cycleway improves
business when it’s finished, but
it’s not helping the whole community
now.”
Mr Zhuang said he wants
things to return to normal so he
can carry on doing the best by
his customers and community.
He said before the roadworks
began, Christchurch Central
MP Nicky Wagner came into
the shop and assured him work
would be completed as quickly
as possible.
Neighbouring store, Cocoa
Gifts, has also seen a drop in
walk-in customers since the
work began.
Cocoa Gifts owner Liz van
Montfort said, while it has been
very disruptive to business, she
has been supported by a very
loyal community.
Papanui-Innes Community
Board chairwoman Ali Jones
said she would look into how
many people are working on the
cycleway upgrade so they can get
it finished as soon as possible.
“It seems underdone in terms
of workers, but I’m no expert,”
she said.
The board has been in contact
with Fulton Hogan which is undertaking
the work. It has been
liaising with business owners
regularly about the effects of the
cycleway upgrade work.
HEAD OF SCHOOLS
Isleworth School principal
Jeanette Shearer has been
named leader of the new
Waimairi-iri Community of

process was conducted by a

Siblings dominate surf champs
• By Julia Evans
A YOUNG brother and sister are
taking the surf life saving scene
by storm.
At the Southern Region Junior
Championships, Samantha
Lascelles, 10, and brother
Alexander, 7, were both crowned
overall champions in their age
groups.
Between them, they won 11
medals at the recent competition
on Warrington Beach, near
Dunedin.
Selwyn House student
Samantha received six of the
medals, and Alexander, who
is a pupil at Elmwood Normal
School, won five.
Samantha has been named the
junior champion every year since
she began competing three years
ago.
The siblings compete and train
with the Sumner Surf Life Saving
Club, which came second in the
overall club rankings, losing the
top spot to Dunedin’s St Clair.
Surf Life Saving Christchurch
manager Henry Lawson said it’s
great to see juniors excelling and
the next generation of life guards
coming through.
Father Richard Lascelles said
THE CITY’S top surf life saving
clubs were pipped by St Clair
at the weekend’s Southern
Regional Championships in New
Brighton.
The venue for next month’s
New Zealand Surf Life Saving
Championships hosted more
than 260 athletes in 20 events
over four different age groups.
Extra hype surrounded the
event with the champs acting as
a prelude to the nationals, which
will be held at New Brighton on
March 16 to 19.
“It was great to see the number
of clubs that were involved this
year. The weather on Saturday

the siblings first began training
up on Onemana Beach in the
Coromandel when they were five
and three respectively.
Onemana is a dangerous
swimming beach and the surf
club there ran an excellent fitness
and training programme, which
the kids loved, he said.
While it began as something
they only did on holiday, when
Samantha began winning, they
decided she was good enough to
enter at home.
Mr Lascelles said the secret
to their success was not living
and breathing life saving – the
pair are always active and always
doing something different.
“They’re usually doing
something every day, but they
train in a variety of sports, they
don’t do 10 sessions on the same
thing,” he said.
They swim, run, play cricket,
do athletics and cross country,
as well as surf life saving in the
summer, he said.
“They love it. It’s good fun.”
Samantha and Alexander
hope to add more medals to
their collection at the surf
life saving Canterbury Junior
Championships.
was great, and Sunday definitely
added another challenge, but the
on-water conditions were still really
good for racing,” said Henry
Lawson, southern region life saving
and education manager.
South Brighton were the best
of the local clubs. However, they
were unable to retain their title,
finishing second to St Clair who
dominated the team points.

Another Boyle on the horizon
• By Gordon Findlater
THE BOYLE name is
synonymous with cricket in
Canterbury – now Matt Boyle
looks set to be the latest cab
off the rank after a blistering
summer to date.
Boyle, 14, was key with the
bat, helping St
Bede’s College
qualify for the
national finals of
the junior secondary
school boys’
competition.
Jack Boyle
Justin
Boyle
He comes from
a talented cricketing
family. His
father Justin was
a prominent firstclass
cricketer for
Canterbury in the
1980s. His uncle
David also played
for Canterbury
in the 1980s and
1990s, while his
older brother Jack made his
first-class debut for Canterbury
last year and has represented the
province at least half a dozen
times.
Now the year 10 student top
scored with 65 as St Bede’s
defeated Christchurch Boys’
High School by three wickets in
the regional final last week. They
will now head to the national
tournament in Palmerston
North next month.
Boyle recently picked up the
year 9 batting award at the
Christchurch Metro Cricket
youth awards after scoring 613
runs at an average of 153 in his
first year at high school.
He has since earned a spot
in the St Bede’s first XI and
recently scored his first century
for the team.
His maiden first XI century
came in the school’s traditional
game against Sacred Heart College
in Auckland. He went in to
bat with the score at 30/5 and
went on to score 110 not out.
He has a way to go to catch
a school record held by older
brother, Jack, who scored a record
10 first XI centuries during
his time at St Bede’s. However,
Jack’s confident his younger
brother can go on to eclipse him.
“He’s still got four years ahead
of him; I definitely didn’t score
any as a year 10. I’d imagine he
will go on to pass that before he
finishes,” said Jack.
Their father Justin, who is
rector at St Bede’s, is the first XI
batting coach and believes Matt
Boyle can carry on the family
tradition of playing first-class
cricket.
“Jack’s first century was at
the beginning of year 12, so as
long as Matt keeps his feet on
the ground he could do it,” said
Justin.
While he may have plenty of
time to chase down his brother’s
record, Boyle and the St Bede’s
junior team will have their eyes
set on a national title when the
junior secondary school boys’
competition tournament begins
on March 27.
PROMISING: Matt Boyle
received a batting award at
this month’s Christchurch
Metro Cricket youth awards.
CGHS row to
under-19 title
NATIONALS: The top Christchurch Girls’ High School
coxed four team won the under-19 title at the New
Zealand Rowing Championships in Twizel. Laura
Pinnell, Grace Loveridge, Emily Nicholson-Sell,
Georgia Sevier and Georgia Scott (coxswain) won
their heat and earned the top qualifying time going
into the final. In the big race, CGHS pushed off the
starting blocks in first position with Columba College
from Dunedin close behind the whole race. They
held out Columba, ultimately winning the final by just
one second. The crew went on to finish third at the
weekend’s Canterbury junior regatta at Ashburton’s
Lake Hood. They finished behind St Margaret’s
College and Rangi Ruru Girls’ School. The crew will
now turn their attention to the South Island secondary
school champs on March 11 to 12.

New after-hours service
provides flexibility for patients
A new after-hours medical service has
been launched in Christchurch with the
aim of providing a better and more readily
accessible service for patients outside
normal medical centre hours.
Dr Martin Seers, a GP at the Selwyn
Medical Centre in Selwyn Street, says a
group of GPs are testing this new model for
out-of-hours medical service that enables
people to book a specific time to see a
doctor, rather than having to sit in an afterhours
waiting room.
He says anyone seeking medical assistance
after hours should first call their own GP’s
phone number, from where they will be
connected to the Home Care Medical line.
As with the Health Line phone service, a
nurse will ask a set of questions to ascertain
whether the person needs to see a doctor,
and if not the nurse will advise on how the
person can take care of themself at home.
Should they need to see a doctor they
then go online to the website AfterhoursGP.
co.nz, answer a few simple questions, then
book an appointment at a time that suits.
“This a totally new model and it’s not
available anywhere else in Canterbury,” Dr
Seers says.
“It saves people money by providing selfcare
advice for those who don’t need to see
a GP, and for those who do, it doesn’t waste
their time.”
The service is currently run out of
Selwyn Street Medical Centre, which is
conveniently located just off Brougham
St, but the service is set up to be venue
agnostic, so patients in future could be
seen in any of the medical centres involved
in the service, Dr Seers says. A key point of
difference from the traditional after-hours
surgery system is that it gives people the
flexibility of choosing their appointment
time.
“It’s much more comfortable for people
to wait at home until their appointment
time, rather than sitting in a waiting room
with other unwell people, and not knowing
when they will be seen.
“Another point of difference is that
the service is designed as an ultralow
bureaucracy system with minimal
overheads. Using the facilities of existing,
fully equipped medical centres means it’s
free or less expensive,” Dr Seers says.
The service is available Monday to
Friday from 6pm-11pm and on weekends
and public holidays as required. It is free
for under-13 year-olds and $73 for most
adults, which is cheaper than other afterhours
services in Christchurch. For non-
New Zealand residents the cost is $95.

Add to this a sheltered extremely private

getting your friends to leave!

A New Year brings new decisions and choices.
2017 has started with many people choosing to
move homes, buy a car or organise another holiday.

Licensed Sales Consultant
We make important choices throughout our life; what schools our
children will go to, what food we eat, what friends we have, where
to go on holiday, and the values we instil in our children. Two of the
biggest choices we have to make are; where we live and when to
sell and buy. A crucial component of the process is selecting the
right licensed real estate agent to guide you through the mountain
of information and industry jargon. An agent can assist in the
important task of identifying the right buyer for your house, as well
as understanding your unique requirements and make your next
dream home a reality. It takes great negotiation and sales skills
teamed with effective target marketing to deliver the very best
results. Kathryn and Peter can offer you an exceptional real estate
experience. Working as a team we collectively together want to
achieve the very best results and the best outcome. Give us a call
today, we would really like to hear from you.

Client Comments
We sold our house in Strowan Road. We were fortunate that we listed with experienced local agents Peter and Kathryn Hampton to perform this task on
our behalf. We were very impressed by Peter and Kathryn’s knowledge of the local area. The Marketing campaign which fitted in with our budget suggested
by Peter and Kathryn attrached a large number of people to the Open Home viewings. Throughout the three weeks sales period, Peter and Kathryn’s
communication and buyer feedback was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Their professional attitude and honesty gave us confidence to trust his decisions.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter and Kathryn Hampton to anybody looking at selling their house.
Brian and Maryanne
Many thanks Peter and Kathryn for doing such a great job in selling our house. We appreciated your knowledge of the local market, your ability to listen, your
calm demeanours and your straight forward and clear communication (without any annoying jargon!) The selling price was above our expectations and that
was down to your hard work and experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.
Cherry
I listed my three bedroomed villa with Peter and Kathryn Hampton, and have been extremely happy with the process and outcome. Their local knowledge and
past experience with other properties in the area proved to be invaluable to help convince buyers that ‘this was one of them.’ From the outset, I was determined
to find an agent that was realistic with market value, knew their stuff and would not tell me what they thought I wanted to hear. Coupled with a close working
relationship, as well as the ever important sale, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.
