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 />

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 />

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 />

The New Zealand Transport<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 />

to symbolise the crossing of<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 />

Matt Doocey MP, 130A Percival St, Rangiora.<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 />

UNBEATEN: CBHS halfback Louie Chapman surveys his<br />

options during Saturday’s 46-8 win over Burnside.<br />

CBHS at top of table<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<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 />

Wigram Rds up to four<br />

times a week.<br />

His dedication to chasing<br />

even involves occasionally<br />

taking time out of school.<br />

“I don’t think they<br />

particularly like that, but<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 />

“Even though they did<br />

not win any games, they<br />

definitely played to the<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 />

Jenkins will travel to Perth with<br />

the national age group squad in<br />

July to compete in the Australian<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 />

Prepare yourself for an electrifying night out as the RNZB presents not one,<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 />

precision of contemporary ballet dancers at<br />

the top of their game. Created for Cedar Lake<br />

Contemporary Ballet, it premiered in New York in<br />

2012.<br />

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 />
