Anger over parking proposal<br />
Meeting draws<br />
support from<br />
politicians<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
BUSINESSES IN Fendalton<br />
fear for their future after being<br />
presented with a city council<br />
plan that would reduce parking<br />
outside their shops.<br />
Elizabeth Fry, owner of The<br />
Cook Shop, organised a petition<br />
of 336 signatures, which<br />
prompted an on-site meeting between<br />
Ilam MP Gerry Brownlee,<br />
city councillor Jamie Gough and<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board chairman<br />
David Cartwright.<br />
The concern for Mrs Fry and<br />
the other shops on the corner of<br />
Holmwood Rd and Rossall St,<br />
including Le Panier, Holmwood<br />
Dairy, Flowers on Holmwood<br />
and The Preservatory Café and<br />
Delicatessen, is that they would<br />
lose their walk-in customer base.<br />
“It’ll kill us . . . the reality is<br />
it’s putting all these businesses<br />
in real danger of having to close<br />
their doors,” Mrs Fry said.<br />
She said she regularly hears<br />
from customers that the only<br />
reason they stopped was because<br />
there was a park free.<br />
Gilles Thébault, owner of the<br />
adjacent shop Le Panier, said he<br />
would have to shut up because<br />
it would create another “dead<br />
corner” in the city.<br />
The proposal includes a pedestrian<br />
island and curb expansion<br />
on Rossall St and no stopping<br />
restrictions around the corner on<br />
to Holmwood Rd. The purpose is<br />
to address speeding drivers and<br />
pedestrian safety.<br />
Mr Brownlee said he, Cr<br />
Gough and Mr Cartwright were<br />
“all on the same page.”<br />
After the meeting, Cr Gough<br />
said he was confident that “common<br />
sense” would prevail.<br />
Mr Cartwright said it was<br />
good to get on the ground and<br />
see for themselves how it would<br />
affect the shops and help come<br />
up with a remedy. But he said<br />
they needed to be sensible and<br />
realistic.<br />
“It’s a busy corner, but it’s not<br />
broken so we don’t need to fix it.<br />
There are examples in the city<br />
that are much worse,” he said.<br />
Mr Cartwright and Cr Gough<br />
will take the businesses concerns<br />
back to the community board.<br />

Bid to trespass lake vandals<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE CITY council is looking<br />
into ways of preventing<br />
vandalism at a Harewood<br />
reserve.<br />
City council staff and the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board want to<br />
trespass the<br />
vandals, who have<br />
been using angle<br />
grinders, winches<br />
and bolt cutters<br />
to gain entry<br />
to the area<br />
David<br />
Cartwright<br />
around Lake Roto<br />
Kohatu.<br />
After costing<br />
ratepayers more<br />
than $15,000 over three months,<br />
the community board does<br />
not want to spend more<br />
money cleaning up around the<br />
lake.<br />
Chairman David Cartwright<br />
said after receiving a memo<br />
from city council staff, the<br />
community board is now<br />
working on preventative<br />
measures, considering the<br />
serious nature and cost of the<br />
vandalism.<br />
“Are park rangers trained or<br />
skilled enough to deal with this?<br />
And if not, there must be a skill<br />
RESERVE: Those responsible for vandalising the area around Lake Roto Kohatu may be<br />
trespassed by the city council.<br />
set or training programme they<br />
can use,” he said.<br />
City council operations<br />
manager regional parks Kay<br />
Holder said city council staff<br />
will be working with the board<br />
on improving security at the<br />
access ways.<br />
She said that if it were<br />
appropriate, park rangers could<br />
trespass vandals from the<br />
reserve.<br />
Mr Cartwright said that the<br />
park rangers and members<br />
of the public know who the<br />
offending vandals were so they<br />
should be trespassed at least.<br />
“If these people are<br />
vandalising, we need to trespass<br />
(them) and . . . we do know who<br />
they are,” he said.<br />
Ms Holder confirmed that at<br />
least $15,000 had been spent in<br />
the summer season.<br />
She said that included the<br />
repair and replacement of<br />
damaged facilities as a result<br />
of people driving vehicles on<br />
garden beds and grassed<br />
areas, and removing signs,<br />
fences and bollards.<br />
“The incidents seem to be<br />
prevalent during fine<br />
summer evenings,” Ms Holder<br />
said.<br />
“However, given the high use<br />
of (the) park . . . for walking,<br />
dog exercising, jet skiing, water<br />
polo, fishing, sailing, etc, the<br />
antisocial behaviour is done by<br />
the minority but can have high<br />
impact,” she said.<br />
In Brief<br />
BOOKARAMA SUCCESS<br />
Sales from the Rotary Club<br />
of Bishopdale Burnside’s<br />
Bookarama made 16 per cent<br />
more than the previous year, but<br />
the club would not disclose the<br />
exact figure, member Lindsay<br />
Crossen said. He said the event’s<br />
success was a result of donations<br />
of good quality books from<br />
people in the north-west. Over<br />
the next 12 months, the money<br />
will be used to support the<br />
community.<br />
NEW YOUTH MANAGER<br />
A new manager has been<br />
appointed to 24-7 YouthWork,<br />
based at Burnside High School.<br />
The organisation aims to<br />
connect young people with<br />
mentors and role models.<br />
Josh Olds has taken over from<br />
previous manager Paul Holmes.<br />

McMaster & Heap<br />
Veterinary practice<br />
OUR VISIT TO UC<br />
DAVIS, CALIFORNIA<br />
Steve, Isaac and myself recently spent time<br />
at UC Davis, the #1 Veterinary school in the<br />
world. For 2 years running it has received<br />
this huge accolade and when you are<br />
there you can see why. It operates and is<br />
the size of a mini CHCH Public hospital.<br />
They are a teaching hospital as well as<br />
seeing referral patients and first opinion<br />
clients. Their specialities include 24/7<br />
emergency and critical care, cardiology,<br />
neurology, ophthalmology,<br />
oncology and surgery. They<br />
were originally set up to<br />
see 5500 patients per year,<br />
last year they saw 50,000<br />
patients. Everyone was so<br />
friendly and helpful and<br />
enthusiastic about being<br />
part of this college. It had a<br />
wonderful vibe... Isaac was<br />
hooked.<br />
Approximately 140 students<br />
get accepted yearly in to<br />
Davis, with around 10% being<br />
male. It cost about US$45,000<br />
for tuition( $64000 NZL)<br />
and then there is living costs on top of<br />
that. Vet students on average come out<br />
owing US $135,000. These students have<br />
spent the previous 4 years obtaining an<br />
excellent undergraduate degree just to<br />
get accepted, majoring in science and<br />
maths. There are 30 colleges of Veterinary<br />
Medicine in the US and each year about<br />
3000 students get accepted. About 40%<br />
of students who apply get accepted<br />
somewhere. In your 3rd year you start to<br />
branch off in your area of interest – either<br />
companion animal, equine, mixed practice<br />
or production animals.<br />
After their 4 year degree at Davis, most<br />
will apply for 1-2 year internship at another<br />
Veterinary College to further their skills<br />
in an area they are interested in. Davis<br />
don’t offer internships. Our freshman<br />
(first year) guide loves dentistry so her<br />
plans are to become a specialist in this<br />
field. After her internship, she then needs<br />
to apply for a residency at one of the 30<br />
colleges, which could be anything from<br />
3-5 years more study!! These are hard to<br />
come by, and you have to be the best of<br />
the bunch, although a Vet degree from<br />
UC Davis stands you in good steed. So to<br />
be a specialist in your field in the US takes<br />
between 13-15 years, and the debt these<br />
students accrue is massive, a few get<br />
scholarships, but most have to pay. I met a<br />
vet in her 40’s who still has a student loan.<br />
Steve spent 2 days tagging along with<br />
ophthalmology specialists, residents and<br />
students on rotation. First and second<br />
year students get at least 2 weeks of<br />
ophthalmology per year ( 27 years ago<br />
when I studied at Massey, 1 day was<br />
dedicated to “eyes”). He really enjoyed the<br />
collegial discussions on cases, sussing out<br />
all the latest equipment, chatting to the<br />
students and doing rounds with them.<br />
Steve came away pleased with his skills<br />
and<br />
expertise in<br />
ophthalmology,<br />
although a<br />
few pieces of<br />
equipment caught<br />
his eye.<br />
Isaac and I<br />
thoroughly<br />
enjoyed our 3 hour tour of the<br />
entire faculty. Isaac loved the exotics<br />
hospital where they house and treat the<br />
reptiles, birds, rabbits, turtles etc. We<br />
also visited their raptor centre, home to<br />
rescued birds of prey that can no longer<br />
see or fly. He also enjoyed watching elbow<br />
arthroscopy on a Golden Retriever from a<br />
viewing room. He could see them cutting<br />
and sucking out torn cartilage from the<br />
video screen. What amazed me was the<br />
amount of people in theatre – 9 in all,<br />
including the chief surgeon, 2 residents,<br />
3 anesthetists and 4th year students.<br />
There were so many people milling<br />
around keenly observing. They do MRI<br />
and CT here and even have a massive<br />
MRI machine that can fit a horse into.<br />
The most expensive patient to date was<br />
a spoodle who underwent dialysis for 18<br />
months, visiting the hospital twice weekly<br />
to have all the toxins removed from her<br />
blood. Her final account was US$140,000!<br />
The most expensive piece of equipment<br />
is a linear accelerator used for radiation<br />
treatment for cancer patients costing a<br />
little over 1 million. Apparently one of the<br />
only surgical procedures NOT performed<br />
here at Davis is renal transplants as when<br />
attempted on cats over 10 years ago,<br />
the survival rate was poor. A handful of<br />
colleges perform renal transplants in cats<br />
including the Pennsylvania and Georgia<br />
College of Vet medicine.<br />
We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent<br />
at Davis and I thought how amazing,<br />
fun and expensive it would be to be a<br />
student now studying vet medicine at<br />
UC Davis. The students we met were just<br />
so absorbed, very happy and grateful to<br />
be at this world class faculty. I came out<br />
thinking I am so in the right profession.<br />

AN AUSTRALASIAN record has been<br />
set by more than 3000 retirees who took<br />
part in a synchronised fitness class hosted<br />
by a retirement village in Papanui.<br />
Across Australia and New Zealand, 31<br />
Ryman Healthcare retirement villages<br />
were linked via YouTube to set a record<br />
for Australasia’s biggest synchronised fitness<br />
class involving elderly people.<br />
Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village hosted<br />
the record attempt, with fitness guru<br />
Nicki Brown leading the session.<br />
Black Fern Kendra Cocksedge and Ryman<br />
managing director Simon Challies<br />
were at the Papanui event.<br />
Mr Challies said the aim was to preserve<br />
residents’ independence, reduce<br />
the risks of falls and get them to try new<br />
things.<br />
However, he had no idea the classes<br />
would be so popular.<br />
“It was a bit off the wall, introducing<br />
circuit classes with swiss balls, weights<br />
and bands, to a group of people it was a<br />
bit foreign to. It was like Les Mills meets<br />
Ryman,” he said<br />

A SERIES of photos show views<br />
of the Russley Rd and Memorial<br />
Ave intersection.<br />
The New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency took the photos from<br />
the top of a 27m gateway arch on<br />
State Highway 1.<br />
The structure will be made up<br />
of 30 different sections and weigh<br />
400 tonne.<br />
The arches are set to be<br />
completed halfway through this<br />
year as part of the $112 million<br />
SH1 upgrade project.<br />
The arches will cost about $4<br />
million. They have attracted<br />
criticism due to the cost,<br />
which is being funded through<br />
the National Land Transport<br />
Fund.<br />
The money comes from petrol<br />
tax, road-user charges and vehicle<br />
registration fees.<br />
The arches, designed by<br />
Warren and Mahoney, are said<br />
to symbolise the crossing of<br />
paths, namely the Southern<br />

the Canterbury Plains, and the<br />
excitement of travel.<br />

Dealing with loss and grief<br />
.kiwi<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
Canterbury<br />
University<br />
student<br />
Heather<br />
McMillan talks<br />
about her<br />
experiences<br />
dealing with grief at a<br />
young age<br />
When I was 16 my Mum<br />
passed away from cancer – this<br />
is a sentence that I still get anxious<br />
saying or typing even four<br />
years later.<br />
It’s the point in a conversation<br />
that will cut all upbeat to the<br />
ground.<br />
I generally just tell people and<br />
then reassure them that not<br />
knowing what to say is normal.<br />
From the age of 16 I’ve had to<br />
teach myself how to cope with<br />
MEMORY<br />
LANE:<br />
Heather<br />
McMillan<br />
is raising<br />
money for<br />
CanTeen<br />
after losing<br />
her mother<br />
to cancer.<br />
She is<br />
pictured<br />
here as a<br />
child with<br />
her mother.<br />
dealing with grief.<br />
With the sadness of it, the<br />
spontaneity of it and the knowing<br />
it’s something I have to face<br />
every day.<br />
Dealing with grief at any age<br />
is horrible, but as a teenager and<br />
young person it has been especially<br />
hard.<br />
Thankfully, though, along the<br />
way I’ve gained the help from<br />
CanTeen through their offspring<br />
group and youth workers.<br />
MATT DOOCEY<br />
MP FOR WAIMAKARIRI<br />
I have been given so many opportunities<br />
to meet other youth<br />
who are affected by cancer.<br />
To most people CanTeen is<br />
seen as a resource to patients but<br />
it is so much more then that and<br />
I am so lucky to have them.<br />
They have been the introducer<br />
of so many other young people<br />
who are going through the<br />
same or similar situations with<br />
cancer.<br />
Having the release of having<br />
people who can relate to<br />
what you are going through as<br />
a young person is more then<br />
incredible.<br />
It can make the most overwhelming<br />
of days feel better<br />
by having people who actually<br />
understand what you are going<br />
through.<br />
CanTeen has become such<br />
a big part of my life that I am<br />
shaving my head to raise funds<br />
and give back to the Canterbury<br />
branch.<br />
My main purpose for this<br />
head shave is to raise awareness<br />
about what CanTeen do and to<br />
be able to open up about my own<br />
experiences dealing with grief.<br />

FLAME FILES<br />
Keep cooking under<br />
control in the kitchen<br />
• Mark Thomas, fire risk<br />
management officer<br />
I KNOW I’ve repeated the advice<br />
about looking when cooking<br />
dozens of times over the years<br />
and it looks very much like it’s<br />
never going to cease completely.<br />
But every now and then I<br />
despair a bit.<br />
Like on Wednesday when<br />
within three-and-a-half-hours<br />
fire trucks responded to three<br />
different cooking incidents.<br />
A house completely filled with<br />
smoke from a forgotten pie in<br />
the microwave in Sockburn was<br />
followed by a pot on the stove,<br />
again filling the house in Kotare<br />
St and a further incident in<br />
Bryndwr where smoke inhalation<br />
was the result for the elderly<br />
occupants.<br />
Any of these could have been<br />
much worse.<br />
A life or a house gone.<br />
But all of them were preventable.<br />
Stay in the kitchen.<br />
The smell of burning in your<br />
home can be frightening for<br />
anyone.<br />
More so if you’re blind.<br />
Proudly NZ owned and<br />
operated by cost caring women<br />
The occupant of a house in<br />
Addington thankfully did the<br />
exact right thing, again on<br />
Wednesday, by phoning 111<br />
and having the local crew there<br />
within minutes.<br />
Turned out to be a tea towel<br />
smouldering on an element.<br />
The potential here was a bit<br />
frightening.<br />
I’ve not mentioned arson here<br />
for a long time.<br />
It’s still occurring but the<br />
removal of most of the empty<br />
houses in the red zone has made<br />
it less visible or newsworthy.<br />
A drum of diesel spread along<br />
the road in the early hours last<br />
Sunday in Wigram was lit and<br />
left by whatever morons thought<br />
it was clever.<br />
They’re still out there. As stupid<br />
and dangerous as ever.<br />

CHAT WITH MATT<br />
This Thursday, 18 <strong>May</strong>, I hope<br />
to meet you at my Keeping<br />
Connected Evening Meeting at the<br />
Belfast Rugby Club from 7.30pm<br />
to 8.30pm. I am holding these<br />
meetings all over the electorate<br />
to be accessible outside business<br />
hours. Nothing beats connecting<br />
face to face and I’m enjoying these<br />
lively discussions.<br />
Papanui High School students<br />
impressed me with their<br />
innovative product ideas during<br />
their school’s recent BP Business<br />
Challenge. I enjoyed being part<br />
of the judging panel. Students<br />
are mentored by business leaders<br />
and then present their ideas. Well<br />
done to Papanui High for fostering<br />
our young business leaders of the<br />
future.<br />

A $2 billion package to deliver pay<br />
increases to those working in aged<br />
and disability residential care, and<br />
home and community support<br />
services is good news for local<br />
families. I visit all our rest homes<br />
around the electorate and I know<br />
the value of what these workers<br />
do in helping the most vulnerable<br />
in our communities.<br />
Increased investment in policing<br />
will deliver 70 more police staff<br />
for Canterbury. We’ve seen our<br />
regional population grow and<br />
can expect further growth. I<br />
meet regularly with our local<br />
hardworking police men and<br />
women and this investment<br />
will also equip them with new<br />
resources and tools.<br />

Triathlete in NZ squad<br />
SPORTS<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FORMER ST Andrew’s College<br />
triathlete Ari Graham will test<br />
herself against the world’s best<br />
after being named in the New<br />
Zealand team to compete at the<br />
ITU world championships in the<br />
Netherlands.<br />
Graham, 18, is the only Canterbury<br />
athlete in the team of<br />
six juniors (under-19) who will<br />
compete in September.<br />
The Southshore resident will<br />
be joined by Hannah Knighton,<br />
Waikato/Tauranga, Ainsley<br />
Thorpe, Trent Dodds, Dan Hoy,<br />
Auckland, and Janus Staufenberg,<br />
Wanaka.<br />
Mark Elliott, Triathlon New<br />
Zealand’s high performance<br />
director, is excited by the talent<br />
being demonstrated in this team.<br />
“The selected athletes span<br />
across the country from the top<br />
of Auckland to the deep south in<br />
Wanaka,” said Elliott.<br />
“It’s exciting to see the depth<br />
of the athletes coming from<br />
different parts of the country,<br />
as well as the coaches who are<br />
guiding our current and future<br />
champions.”<br />
Over the summer, Graham<br />
competed in the national junior<br />
series, which is contested between<br />
the top under-19-year-olds<br />
in the country over five events.<br />
Graham not only won the<br />
series, she took out all five<br />
events.<br />
She is also a former age group<br />
middle distance and cross country<br />
champion.<br />
After competing in a couple of<br />
school triathlons, she made the<br />
decision late last year to dedicate<br />
her time to triathlon.<br />
She is currently training fulltime<br />
after finishing school.<br />
SQUAD: Ari Graham (middle) will be joined by Ainsley Thorpe<br />
and Hannah Knighton in the New Zealand junior triathlon team. <br />
The junior squad is the first of<br />
three New Zealand teams to be<br />
announced with the under-23s<br />
and elite squad selections to be<br />
made in early August.<br />
The world championships will<br />
take place in Rotterdam from<br />
September 14-17.<br />

DEFENDING champions<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High School<br />
have gone to the top of the UC<br />
Championship following their<br />
44-8 bonus point win over<br />
Burnside High School.<br />
After two rounds of competition,<br />
CBHS is one of only three<br />
teams with two wins since<br />
Timaru Boys’ High School and<br />
Nelson College also recorded<br />
victories.<br />
CBHS and Timaru will meet<br />
next Tuesday in what could give<br />
an early gauge of who the competition<br />
favourites will be.<br />
“They had a good young side<br />
last year and they’ve had a great<br />
start to this season, so I think it’s<br />
going to be a really competitive<br />
match,” said CBHS assistant<br />
coach Rob Smith.<br />
Meanwhile, St Bede’s College<br />
bounced back after their opening<br />
round shock loss to Lincoln<br />
Combined, accounting for Marlborough<br />
Boys’ College 38-14.<br />
After an opening round bye,<br />
St Andrew’s College got their<br />
campaign off to the perfect start<br />
with a 52-19 bonus point win<br />
over Roncalli Combined.<br />
St Andrew’s face a tough task<br />
next weekend when they make<br />
the journey north to take on<br />
Marlborough BC.<br />
“Especially at home they’re<br />
always going to be tough. They<br />
have it tough most weeks having<br />
to travel south,” said St Andrew’s<br />
assistant coach Mike Johnston.<br />

MEDBURY School pupil<br />
Jacob Douglas will take on<br />
the world’s best in October<br />
when he takes the next<br />
step towards his dream of<br />
driving in formula one.<br />
Jacob, 11, started racing<br />
three years ago and has<br />
now secured his spot at<br />
the International Rok Cup<br />
finals in Italy by dominating<br />
at the KartSport NZ<br />
national sprint championships<br />
in Invercargill.<br />
He won the vortex mini<br />
rok class, taking out his<br />
heat races before going on<br />
to win the final by more<br />
than four seconds.<br />
“The competition was<br />
pretty stiff down there<br />
with a lot of good drivers,”<br />
said Jacob.<br />
He previously raced motorbikes<br />
but after spending<br />
a day at the track with his<br />
father in 2014, decided it<br />
was time to sell the bike<br />
after finding his passion<br />
for driving on four wheels.<br />
Trained by Matthew<br />
Hamilton of WKS Kartstore<br />
and Tiffany Chittenden,<br />
Jacob is a boy who<br />
wants to go places. He lives<br />
and breathes motor racing<br />
and is passionate about<br />
making his mark on the<br />
world stage.<br />

even involves occasionally<br />
taking time out of school.<br />
“I don’t think they<br />
particularly like that, but<br />

primary basketball tournament held during the school holidays.<br />
Wairakei’s basketball team<br />
gains valuable experience<br />
game, the Wairakei team<br />
never gave up.<br />
They played five<br />
games over the twoday<br />

showed wonderful<br />
skill development and<br />

spokesman said<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
they’re quite supportive of<br />

In Italy, he will drive<br />
for the OTK Kart Group.<br />
The group’s former drivers<br />
include seven-time formula<br />

Michael Schumacher.<br />
The International Rok<br />
Cup finals take place from<br />

fought hard until the<br />
last whistle blew,” he said.<br />
“They showed great<br />
improvement over the<br />

Cotswold’s squash sensation<br />
WINNER: Matthew Growcott, of Cotswold School, won<br />
gold in the under-11 boys section at the Oceania Squash<br />
Championships in Auckland. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
COTSWOLD PRIMARY School<br />
pupil Matthew Growcott has<br />
continued his winning ways,<br />
taking gold in the under-11<br />
section of the Oceania Squash<br />
Championships recently.<br />
The tournament was held<br />
at the Henderson Squash<br />
Club, Auckland, and attracted<br />
more than 200 entries across<br />
the age groups, with players<br />
from Australia, China, French<br />
Polynesia, Hong Kong, New<br />
Caledonia and Singapore making<br />
it a truly international event.<br />
Matthew, who was seeded fifth<br />
in the tournament, had to play<br />
his first match in the main draw<br />
against top seed, Oliver Dunbar,<br />
of Wellington, who he beat 3-0.<br />
His next match was against<br />
fourth seed Australian, Aryan<br />
Madan, where his fitness showed<br />
over the Australian, winning 3-1.<br />
In the final, he played sixth<br />
seed Reece Holmes, of Hawera,<br />
where he was more focused and<br />
consistent than his opponent,<br />
winning the title 3-0.<br />
An exciting prospect for the<br />
young Cantabrian is that he<br />
is still eligible for next year’s<br />
under-11 Oceania Squash<br />
Championships in Australia.<br />
It is the second squash<br />
tournament he has won this year,<br />
after winning the Squashways<br />
junior grade in March.<br />
He is coached by John Brown<br />
weekly on a one-on-one basis<br />
and is also part of Brown’s highperformance<br />
development squad.<br />
His main goals for the rest<br />
of the season include winning<br />
the Canterbury age groups title<br />
in Blenheim, South Island age<br />
groups in Oamaru, and the<br />
New Zealand age groups at his<br />
home squash club, Burnside, in<br />
October.<br />
Matthew is the youngest player<br />
to secure sponsorship from Head<br />
NZ this year, which supply his<br />
rackets, bags, shoes, strings, grips<br />
and apparel.<br />

New Zealand under-16 basketball<br />
team.<br />
Jenkins will travel to Perth with<br />
the national age group squad in<br />
July to compete in the Australian<br />
state championships.<br />
Jenkins, who just turned 15,<br />
said when he found out he had<br />
made the top squad he couldn’t<br />
quite believe it.<br />
“Feels really humbling, I feel<br />
really blessed,” he said.<br />
His week is filled playing<br />
the game he loves, including<br />
two trainings for the senior St<br />
Andrew’s squad, one for the<br />
school’s under-17 team, and two<br />
trainings with Mark Dickel for<br />
the Mainland Eagles, a mixture<br />
of the best basketballers in the<br />
South Island.<br />
The 1.85m power forward also<br />
has a strong perimeter game.<br />
Jenkins said he wants to take<br />
every opportunity that comes<br />
along in the hope of getting into<br />
an American college and having a<br />
crack at the big time.<br />
“If I had to choose an NBA<br />
squad, I would like to play for<br />
the Milwaukee Bucks. It’s a good<br />
young team with a mixture of old<br />
heads,” he said.<br />

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />
New and quality used tyres<br />
for most makes & models<br />
If you need new tyres for your vehicle,<br />
JCM Direct is the place to go.<br />
This family-run, independent tyre<br />
business in Birmingham Drive specialises<br />
in new and quality second-hand tyres.<br />
The business is owned by husband and<br />
wife Athol and Julie Hurst, with Julie being<br />
the one who runs the day-to-day operation<br />
and fits the tyres for customers, which is<br />
unusual in the male-dominated industry,<br />
she says.<br />
They stock a large selection of new tyres<br />
from a wide range of suppliers to suit your<br />
wheelbarrow, car, van, 4wd or trailer.<br />
“There are very few brands we can’t do,”<br />
Julie says.<br />
“We also have an excellent selection of<br />
quality second-hand 4WD tyres.<br />
Other services JCM Direct offers include<br />
puncture repairs, supply and fitting of<br />
new and second-hand alloy wheels, wheel<br />
alignments, replacement factory steel<br />
rims, rim repairs and lights.<br />
“We also specialise in old rims, from the<br />
1930s to the 1970s, which people purchase<br />
for caravans and old trailers. The modern<br />
rims won’t fit those,” Julie says.<br />
“JCM Direct also do a lot of matching<br />
rims and tyres, so customers don’t have to<br />
buy a complete new set if only one needs<br />
replacing.”<br />
We can create packages to accommodate<br />
all budgets, with finance available via Q<br />
Card or Farmers Card.<br />
JCM Direct is now in a new location,<br />
on the corner of Birmingham Drive and<br />
Hands Road. Their former premises were<br />
further along Hands Road.<br />
Opening hours are Monday to Friday<br />
9.30am-5pm and Saturday 9.30am-1pm.<br />

the first time. A highlight of the RNZB’s 2016 Speed of Light programme;<br />

rhythms and witty, stylish staging.<br />
Tuplet<br />
Tuplet, for just six dancers, is the most intimate<br />
of the three works, riffing off the split-second<br />

the top of their game. Created for Cedar Lake<br />
Contemporary Ballet, it premiered in New York in<br />
2012.<br />

PARTNER
Katie<br />
Hurst-Saxton<br />
Born and trained in<br />
Christchurch, Katie<br />
Hurst-Saxton was<br />
offered a contract with<br />
RNZB at just 16 years of<br />
age, the youngest-ever<br />
full time member to join<br />
the company. Here she<br />
talks about preparing to<br />
dance Three by Ekman<br />
at the Isaac Theatre<br />
Royal.<br />
“From the very first moment<br />
I started learning the Ekman<br />
repertoire, I fell in love with it! It’s like nothing I’ve ever danced<br />
before in my 15 year career. What I love most about the Ekman style<br />
is the rhythms we get to make, with both our bodies and our voices.<br />
All three works are to such ‘feel good’ music and have a quirky sense<br />
of humour, so you can’t help but enjoy yourself while you’re dancing.<br />
Watch the RNZB take Class on Stage<br />
The RNZB invites teachers and their students to observe their national<br />
ballet company taking class. These close-up encounters act as a<br />
fantastic refresher as well as a learning tool for teachers, and provide<br />
a source of inspiration and motivation for students. Don’t miss this<br />
unique opportunity to watch the full company in action during their<br />
daily class, which will take place on stage in the stunning setting of the<br />
Isaac Theatre Royal.<br />
Saturday 10 June <strong>2017</strong>, 11am2<br />
Duration of class is 1hr 15 mins<br />
Cost $10 per ticket<br />
Suitable for all dance teachers, dance students aged 9 or older and<br />
accompanying adult.<br />
Booking essential at rnzb.org.nz/classsonstage<br />
Performing in my hometown always brings a bag of mixed emotions.<br />
On the one hand I get extremely excited to be performing in the<br />
stunningly beautiful Isaac Theatre Royal, which feels so normal,<br />
so right, and is almost comforting to me. But on the other hand I<br />
know the majority of the dance world in Christchurch, which makes<br />
me nervous, because I want to perform perfectly for them and<br />
make them proud. When you know that certain people are in the<br />
audience, it brings a nervous tension to your dancing – which can<br />
often make for a better show!<br />
I can’t wait to be back in Christchurch with the Royal New Zealand<br />
Ballet’s Three By Ekman. Make sure you book your tickets for a night<br />
of fist pumping, high energy fun!”<br />
A special thank you to our Christchurch-based sponsors and supporters, including:
Three great danceworks. One great show.<br />
A cheeky effervescence, an<br />
irrepressible energy and a<br />
beguiling wit.<br />
