Further<br />
fears<br />
after<br />
wheelie<br />
bin fire<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
ANOTHER WHEELIE bin has<br />
been set alight in Burnside fuelling<br />
further fears for residents’ safety.<br />
For the past three months bins on<br />
the street and on driveways, near<br />
houses, have been deliberately set on<br />
fire in the Burnside, Bryndwr and<br />
Ilam areas.<br />
The latest arson was on Memorial<br />
Ave, near the intersection of Greers<br />
Rd, at about 3.30am on Saturday.<br />
Police are following up the incident.<br />
Last Saturday, six wheelie bins<br />
were set alight with Detective<br />
Sergeant Mike Freeman urging the<br />
perpetrator to talk to them before<br />
anyone is seriously hurt.<br />
“Police are treating the incidents<br />
as arson and believe they are linked<br />
to previous wheelie bin fires in the<br />
area,” Detective Sergeant Freeman<br />
said.<br />
The previous four attacks were<br />
in May but there had been a period<br />
of at least a month where there had<br />
been no fires.<br />
Residents in the area have also<br />
been told by police to keep their<br />
wheelie bins out of sight.<br />

THERE’S A great appeal<br />
starting at your local<br />
Countdown supermarket next<br />
month.<br />
And if you look at our front<br />
page photo today you will understand<br />
why.<br />
The annual Countdown Kids<br />
Hospital Appeal starts early next<br />
month and every dollar that goes<br />
into it helps children like eightyear-old<br />
Jacob Matua.<br />
The tremendous smile Jacob<br />
had for the camera belies the<br />
perilous situation he – and many<br />
others like him – are in.<br />
Each year, Countdown supermarkets<br />
run an appeal to help<br />
provide equipment for patients<br />
using Christchurch Hospital’s<br />
paediatric and neo-natal services.<br />
And the good news is: Jacob is<br />
doing well.<br />

Dad’s punt wins Crusader visit<br />
In Brief<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
MICHAEL STIRLING is<br />
officially the coolest parent.<br />
At least in the eyes of the<br />
pupils from St Joseph’s School<br />
in Papanui who received a visit<br />
from Crusaders players.<br />
Mr Stirling won a special visit<br />
from players David Havili, Pete<br />
Samu and Seta Tamanivalu as<br />
part of the Placemakers Punt for<br />
Prizes competition.<br />
During round eight of the<br />
Super Rugby competition, he<br />
correctly picked all seven of the<br />
games and was put into a final<br />
draw – which he won.<br />
“It was a bit of sharp shooting,”<br />
he said.<br />
So he nominated his daughter<br />
Taylor’s school to receive the<br />
visit.<br />
“The younger ones appreciate<br />
the players, they look up to them<br />
as heroes,” Mr Stirling said.<br />
The Crusaders hosted a mini<br />
coaching Elmwood session as well as dishing<br />
out a few autographs and a<br />
selfie or two.<br />
Which more than paid off.<br />
“I’ve been told she’s pretty<br />
good at tackling now,” Mr Stirling<br />
said.<br />
Placemakers Canterbury marketing<br />
manager James Munro<br />
said the company is thrilled to<br />
be able to offer such unique and<br />
memorable prizes to rugby fans.<br />
IDOL: Pete Samu signing a<br />

father won the Placemakers<br />

“To see the excitement on the<br />
kids’ faces at St Joseph’s was really<br />
special and I know they will<br />
be talking about the visit to their<br />
mates for a very long time,” Mr<br />
Munro said.<br />

GRAFFITI IN ST ALBANS<br />
St Albans has gone from having<br />
the highest number of graffiti<br />
incidents in the city to the fourth<br />
highest, according to the latest<br />
city council data. Earlier in the<br />
year, it featured alongside the<br />
central city as the worst-hit<br />
suburb. However, during May<br />
in St Albans, there were 56<br />
incidents, down from more<br />
than 100 in March and 70 in<br />
April. The highest number of<br />
graffiti incidents during May<br />
were recorded in the central city,<br />
Linwood and Sydenham.<br />
LIBRARY OPENING<br />
The new Bishopdale Library and<br />
Community Service Centre will<br />
be officially opened at 9.30am<br />
on Saturday, <strong>July</strong> 22. There will<br />
be a welcoming and kapa haka<br />
from Breens Intermediate and<br />
Isleworth Primary.<br />
QE II UPGRADE UNDER WAY<br />
Work has begun on upgrading<br />
QE II Dr from Grimseys to<br />
Innes Rds. The site clearance<br />
work involves tree felling and<br />
vegetation removal to allow for<br />
two new lanes to be built. Traffic<br />
will be stopped for a maximum<br />
of three minutes at a time when<br />
the big trees come down. The<br />
construction of the two new lanes<br />
will begin in September.<br />

OCCASION: The St Andrew’s Preparatory School kapa haka group perform at the ceremony to bless the school’s new<br />
sculpture.<br />
School sculpture blessed in ceremony<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ST ANDREW’S College<br />
celebrated its centenary in<br />
March.<br />
And now the school has<br />
forever marked the occasion<br />
with the installation of a new<br />
centennial sculpture, The<br />
Cross He Never Knew, created<br />
by internationally-renowned<br />
artist, Angus Muir.<br />
It was gifted to St Andrew’s<br />
by the Muir family – as Angus<br />
and his two brothers, William<br />
and Andrew are old collegians.<br />
Muir is now the creative<br />
director of the collaborative<br />
studio Angus Muir Design,<br />
based in Auckland but has<br />
worked on projects both locally<br />
and internationally.<br />
His work is largely created<br />
using light and mirror.<br />
The sculpture stands in<br />
pride of place outside the college’s<br />
iconic Strowan House.<br />
It was blessed by the school’s<br />
chaplain Paul Morrow, alongside<br />
a performance from the<br />
school’s kapa haka group last<br />
week.<br />
The Cross He Never Knew is<br />
a phrase from the school song<br />
and is intended, like the work<br />
itself, to provoke reflection.<br />
It references the Scottish<br />
Saltire flag – long held as<br />
emblematic of the college and<br />
its heritage.<br />
But it also strikes a contemporary<br />
salute to the past 100<br />
years while signalling the college’s<br />
bright future.<br />

Countdown to supermarket<br />
Countdown‘s upcoming<br />
appeal will help provide<br />
equipment for patients<br />
using Christchurch<br />
Hospital’s paediatric<br />
and neo-natal services.<br />
Sarla Donovan visited<br />
cancer sufferer, eightyear-old<br />
Jacob Matua,<br />
who benefits from the<br />
equipment<br />
JACOB MATUA has visited this<br />
place many times.<br />
He’s in the Children’s Haematology<br />
and Oncology Centre<br />
in the Riverside building at<br />
Christchurch Hospital, where’s<br />
he’s hooked up to an infusion<br />
pump dispensing the medicine<br />
he needs. It’ll be 10pm before<br />
this day’s treatment is over.<br />
After the eight-year-old started<br />
getting “headaches and tummy<br />
pain, neck pain, arm pain,” at the<br />
end of last year, a cancer diagnosis<br />
followed, along with nearly<br />
three months in hospital, getting<br />
treatment.<br />
Now he comes in for shorter<br />
stays – four days this time – and<br />
is crossing his fingers that he<br />

can return to his Clyde Rd home<br />
tomorrow.<br />
Jacob’s not well enough to<br />
attend his school, Burnside<br />
Primary, at the moment. He<br />
couldn’t even eat his birthday<br />
chocolate cake in May: “Because<br />
sometimes I don’t eat,” he said.<br />
Charge nurse manager Chrissy<br />
Bond lightens the mood: “I wish<br />
I could say that!”<br />
The nurses play cards with<br />
him, including memory and<br />
skip bo. Lucy Stephenson, who<br />
is supervising today, says he’s<br />
quite the card shark. “I win every<br />
time,” Jacob says with a grin.<br />
His aunt Ula Faamoe sits with<br />
him, too, giving his mum – who<br />
has four other children including<br />
twin three-year-old’s – a break.<br />
She says he’s well at the moment:<br />
“The best I’ve seen him<br />
since starting the chemotherapy.<br />
He’s making great progress.”<br />
Beside his bed, a tall pump<br />
stand holds all kinds of medicines<br />
and beeping equipment.<br />
The $5000 stand is one of four<br />
in the centre, purchased with<br />
money from the Countdown<br />
Kids Hospital Appeal in 2013.<br />
Mrs Bond said it holds five to<br />
six pumps and keeps the medicines<br />
stable, as well as allowing<br />
nurses to easily read information<br />
on screens attached to the<br />
pumps. “DHBs find equipment<br />
like this hard to fund, because<br />
we can ‘make do’ with inferior<br />
(devices). It isn’t essential, but<br />
it just makes everybody’s life<br />
easier,” she said.<br />

Last year’s appeal raised<br />
$123,270 for Christchurch<br />
Hospital’s paediatric wards and<br />
neo-natal unit.<br />
Countdown Kids Hospital Appeal<br />
chairwoman Ruth Krippner<br />
says most kiwi kids will visit<br />
hospital at some stage in their<br />
childhood. She said Countdown<br />
is proud to play a part in helping<br />
provide these hospitals with the<br />
equipment needed to treat illness<br />
and injury.<br />
“Whether it’s a one off visit for<br />
a minor injury or a lengthy stay<br />
for a serious illness, most New<br />
Zealand children will have a<br />
brush with a children’s hospital<br />
ward at some point– just like<br />
this family,” Ms Krippner said.<br />
“Thanks to the generosity of<br />

teary-eyed departure<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
RETIRING AFTER 23 years as<br />
principal of Belfast School could<br />
be summed up in one sentence<br />
says Peter Simpson: “It was<br />
hard.”<br />
“Leaving the kids and families<br />
that have been part of my life for<br />
so long, it was difficult from that<br />
perspective,” he said.<br />
But now he’s taking on a new<br />
challenge and passing some of<br />
the knowledge he’s picked up<br />
during his time at Belfast to new<br />
principals as a leadership advisor.<br />
“It’s a chance to give something<br />
back,” he said. Although<br />
it’ll never replace being around<br />
school community.<br />
He said he had to go back to<br />
visit shortly after leaving because<br />
he missed the kids so much.<br />
On his “very emotional” last<br />
day, the school planted a Mr<br />
Simpson tree and sang To Sir,<br />
with Love.<br />
That brought a tear to my eye,<br />
he said. It was a bittersweet moment.<br />
“But I couldn’t have done any<br />
of it without the people around<br />
me. It’s not a job that you can do<br />
on your own,” Mr Simpson said.<br />
It was that sense of community<br />
that grew in Belfast over the 23<br />
years that he said was the highlight.<br />
“Probably one of the best<br />
things is the acceptance by the<br />
wider community that Belfast is<br />
a good school,” he said.<br />
When Mr Simpson started,<br />
the school was 80 per cent New<br />
Zealand European, he said.<br />
LAST SPEECH: Peter Simpson<br />
addressing the Belfast School<br />
assembly for the last time. <br />
But when he left, there were<br />
more than 15 different ethnic<br />
groups.<br />
“I think that just represents<br />
New Zealand as a whole,” he<br />
said.<br />
“The school motto is ‘care,<br />
share, learn, grow’ and seeing<br />
that acted out through the kids<br />
and tolerance of difference was<br />
great. They accept the kids as<br />
they were and wrapped their<br />
arms around them like a family.”<br />
He said the fact that new<br />
classes and school blocks had to<br />
be built, alongside a change in<br />
school culture and growing rolls,<br />
proved his time at the school was<br />
a success.<br />
“I absolutely loved my time at<br />
Belfast,” Mr Simpson said.<br />
On <strong>July</strong> 24, the school will hold<br />
its first mihi whakatau to welcome<br />
new principal Sue Elley.<br />
Mrs Elley joined the school<br />
after being the assistant principal<br />
at Hornby High School.<br />

Stop the sale of state houses<br />
Nae Nae<br />
Higgs writes<br />
about state<br />
house sales<br />
I am a state<br />
house tenant,<br />
weighing in on<br />
the debate about<br />
state house sales.<br />
Yes, I hear the groans – here<br />
we go, another state-awarded<br />
wanna-have-it-all about to give us<br />
all a lecture on what we are doing<br />
wrong as a society – but hear me<br />
out.<br />
Looking at this idea of sellingoff<br />
state houses, I have been<br />
working on this for a while now:<br />
going to every meeting, trying<br />
to stand up scream out – “I am<br />
a state tenant, I am your most<br />
vulnerable.”<br />
I have done this over and over,<br />
but while I do this, the Government<br />
has dangled more carrots to<br />
make it look better for us.<br />
Is it really better for us?<br />
With our houses falling down<br />
around us, we would try all<br />
we could to engage with those<br />
responsible.<br />
Our cries fell on deaf ears, with<br />
replies of: ‘‘We cannot afford to<br />
fix your home.” “If we streamline<br />
and put HNZ with the Ministry<br />
of Social Development we may be<br />
able to work more efficiently,” and<br />
now: “We shall sell some of these<br />
houses on to another provider<br />
and see if that works.”<br />
All we have now is a broken<br />
system, a greedy Government<br />
and huge profits to be made and<br />
lost, with us as the product.<br />
To quieten our voices there<br />
is a new carrot, in the form of<br />
the provider who will build 150<br />
houses for the state.<br />
So let’s just say<br />
this new provider<br />
buys the 2500<br />
houses.<br />
Seems like they<br />
can do whatever<br />
they would like with<br />
them, so long as<br />
they build one for one state<br />
house. They can demolish one<br />
house, put up six and make profit<br />
off five, with only one of them<br />
being state-owned.<br />
We were not told anything<br />
more, except what a good job<br />
they have done.<br />
A good job at scaring their<br />
people, giving misinformation,<br />
leaving us to rot while they decide<br />
what will give them the best<br />
profit, and worse, becoming more<br />
of a nanny state deciding what is<br />
best for us.<br />
A lot of us waited months for<br />
the most basic of human needs<br />
and also living with what one<br />
could only describe as a harassment<br />
that is wrapped up in an<br />
idea we can’t look after ourselves.<br />
If we look hard at the idea of<br />
selling these houses we will realise<br />
it is a no-brainer, they must be<br />
kept in our hands, we need more<br />
not less.<br />
We need the Government to fix<br />
their systems not sell half of their<br />
assets.<br />
We as HNZ tenants are not trying<br />
to be greedy, we are not stating<br />
we want to keep our houses<br />
because they are ours. They<br />
are not, they are the country’s<br />
houses, they are the safe places<br />
for all New Zealanders.<br />
I want this sale stopped.<br />
TRAFFIC: Red light runners at this Cranford and Berwick St<br />
intersection were targeted in a police sting. <br />
Readers respond to the<br />
article about red light<br />
runners at the intersection<br />
of Cranford and Berwick St<br />
Diane Dick – I travel around<br />
Christchurch daily and witness<br />
this all the time. In some cases<br />
they need to put up more right<br />
turning green arrows to make<br />
a lot more intersections safer.<br />
However, the rude people who<br />
keep coming when the lights<br />
have changed make it even more<br />
unsafe for those turning. Compulsory<br />
stops are another hairraising<br />
area. Only two or three<br />
cars actually stop properly, the<br />
rest slow down and treat them<br />
like a give way. Good on you<br />
for making a stand on this. It’s<br />
so obvious why our road toll is<br />
going up.<br />
Shane Fisher – Montreal<br />
St and Bealey Ave. People forever<br />
running red lights on both<br />
roads. I’ve seen a lot of close<br />
calls. Bring back the red light<br />
cameras. It’ll cost thousands to<br />
put in place but those costs will<br />
be retained after only about six<br />
months use.<br />
Christopher Ford –<br />
Hmmm, tickets really work. I<br />
remember they were giving out<br />
tickets 49 years back and they<br />
still need to do it so it doesn’t<br />
work just take the bloody driving<br />
rights away. That will get a<br />
better result.<br />
William Hutson – It is<br />
because the light signals are not<br />
geared towards left turn priority.<br />
The timings need to be changed<br />
and adjusted. People only really<br />
run reds because they literally<br />
won’t be able to turn right legally.

PRESENTED BY:<br />
Where have the signs gone?<br />
Chairman of the Papanui<br />
Heritage Group Murray<br />
Williams writes about<br />
disappearing signs in the<br />
domain<br />
The genesis of Papanui was the<br />
native bush that once straggled<br />
across a block of land that covered<br />
parts of Rural Sections 3,<br />
5 and 25, an aggregated area of<br />
200 acres bounded by Langdons<br />
and Vagues Rds although the<br />
bush probably accounted for less<br />
than half of this.<br />
The native forest was cut out<br />
by 1857 and in the early 1880s<br />
six and a half acres of this land,<br />
with a frontage on Sawyers Arms<br />
Rd, was developed as a domain,<br />
Papanui’s first public park.<br />
In 1960, historian Jim Gardner<br />
was keen to spark some interest<br />
in the early days of Papanui.<br />
At this time he was chairman<br />
of the Canterbury Regional<br />
committee of the National Historic<br />
Places Trust (now Heritage<br />
New Zealand).<br />
In association with the city<br />
council he organised a sign on<br />
the Sawyers Arms Rd frontage of<br />
the Papanui Domain.<br />
The noticeboard featured a<br />
map of the area and a brief narrative<br />
of the milling of the bush<br />
in the 1850s.<br />
Analysis of a contemporary<br />
REVEAL: The unveiling of the interpretation panel at Papanui<br />
Domain in 1997. (From left) – Mollie Chalklen, Dave Hinman,<br />
then district chairman of the Historic Places Trust, and Jim<br />
Gardner.<br />
photograph suggests that the<br />
sign was of a significant size,<br />
probably at least 2m in height.<br />
This sign has been removed.<br />
It is not known when or by<br />
whom, but it had possibly been<br />
vandalised.<br />
In 1997, Jim Gardner assisted<br />
by local historian Mollie Chalklen,<br />
convinced the city council<br />
and the Historic Places Trust to<br />
organise a replacement.<br />
The result was the Papanui<br />
Bush interpretation panel.<br />
The new structure was smaller<br />
but sturdier.<br />
In a letter to Mollie Chalklen<br />
from the parks development<br />
officer, dated <strong>July</strong> 1, 1997, it was<br />
noted that the National Historic<br />
Places Trust brass plaque had<br />
been salvaged from the original<br />
sign and that it was proposed to<br />
incorporate it into the timber<br />
frame of the new interpretation<br />
panel. The photo shows the<br />
unveiling of the new sign.<br />
However, the structure has<br />
since disappeared and inquiries<br />
to the city council have proved<br />
fruitless in establishing any<br />
information as to its fate.<br />

The new Swimsmart<br />
Membership is here!<br />
The new Swimsmart membership<br />
offers a new approach to learning to<br />
swim. Swimsmart members will get free,<br />
unlimited access to all Christchurch City<br />
Council pools outside of regular lesson<br />
times. This provides kids with extra<br />
opportunities to practise their swimming<br />
skills!<br />
Customers will now be able to enrol for<br />
a membership that offers up to 48 weeks of<br />
lessons per year. The new membership also<br />
allows customers to pay on a more regular<br />
basis via direct debit instead of paying for<br />
a full term up front.<br />
Grading of children’s swimming skills<br />
occurs on a regular basis, so they can move<br />
up a level as soon as they’re ready. If there’s<br />
no space available at that level at a suitable<br />
time, your child will go on a waitlist and<br />
get some advanced instruction at their<br />
current level.<br />

THE SMALL time capsule<br />
found under the St Albans<br />

water damaged.<br />
It is about 30cm long,<br />
15cm high and <strong>11</strong>.5cm<br />
deep.<br />
The screws holding it<br />
together have rusted<br />

Water the only way to read poem<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
SAMANTHA Jory-Smart’s<br />
literary work is now part of the<br />
city’s history.<br />
But her poem, A Promise, can<br />
only be seen when it’s wet.<br />
The Burnside High School student<br />
was asked to write the poem<br />
to feature on one of the central<br />

South Frame was recently<br />

printed onto the pavement in invisible<br />
chemical spray that only<br />
reveals itself when wet.<br />
She said the poem came from<br />
a mix of wanting to include<br />
Maori culture, a tale about the<br />
mataī tree, and create a sense of<br />
Christchurch’s regrowth.<br />
“It’s amazing to contribute to<br />
Christchurch and be a part of the<br />
rebuild,” Samantha said.<br />
Mrs Wagner helped Samantha<br />
unveil the poem by pouring water<br />
from a watering can over it.<br />
She said it was exciting Mollett<br />

Further $45k signed off for Plunket rooms<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A FURTHER $45,000 has been<br />
allocated for repairs to the<br />
Redwood Plunket rooms.<br />
Originally budgeted at<br />
$30,000, the quote was then<br />
upped to $75,000<br />
for the rooms to be<br />
repaired for community<br />
use.<br />
Papanui city<br />
councillor Mike<br />
Davidson said it<br />
Mike<br />
Davidson<br />
was a “big win” for<br />
the Northcote and<br />
Redwood area.<br />
“This is not much money in<br />
the grand scheme of what we’re<br />
going to achieve in the community,”<br />
Cr Davidson said.<br />

• Wheel Alignment • Brakes<br />
• Clutches • Tyres etc<br />
All makes & models<br />
However, Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />
is sceptical whether repairing<br />
the old building is in the city<br />
council’s best interests.<br />
She said it was a challenge to<br />
make the decision as the city<br />
council was not provided with a<br />
detailed report.<br />
Ms Dalziel said the repairs<br />
would only get the building to<br />
67 per cent of the new building<br />
standard.<br />
“It will still be old, still be<br />
unimproved and still be poorly<br />
insulated. It has old services and<br />
contains significant inherent<br />
maintenance issues,” she said.<br />
The building will be home to<br />
a social worker, who is being<br />
funded by the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board. Cr Davidson<br />
said the Plunket rooms are in an<br />
ideal location next to the Redwood<br />
Library.<br />
They will also be used as a<br />
community gathering space. A<br />
research report from city council<br />
staff has shown that a lot of<br />
young people feel unsafe in local<br />
parks around Northcote and<br />
Redwood.<br />
“(The area) lacks neighbourhood<br />
space for people to come<br />
together and the younger generations<br />
feel unsafe in the parks<br />
due to drugs and gang involvement<br />
in the area,” he said.<br />
The city council approved the<br />
additional funding in the <strong>2017</strong>-<br />

Fire Service’s new look<br />
• By Mark Thomas - specialist fire<br />
investigator<br />
THE NEW Zealand Fire Service<br />
disappeared last Saturday.<br />
It ceased to exist.<br />
Fire and Emergency New Zealand<br />
began life in its place.<br />
It’s what we’ll be called into<br />
the future.<br />
What’s the reason?<br />
Until now, there have effectively<br />
been two fire services in<br />
the country.<br />
Those that covered urban<br />
settlements, towns and cities,<br />
and those that tackled mainly<br />
wildfire in more rural settings.<br />
To a certain extent, the<br />
boundaries were blurred and we<br />
generally co-operated as much<br />
as we could.<br />
The new Fire and Emergency<br />
New Zealand Act combines us<br />
into a single organisation, still<br />
with distinct urban and rural<br />
sides but working side by side.<br />
It’s got to be better.<br />
As far as most New Zealanders<br />
go, there won’t be any change<br />
whatsoever except the fire trucks<br />
that respond to your emergency<br />
might have different stickers on<br />
the side.<br />
For those of us in the new organisation,<br />
there’s some learning<br />
of new legislation but essentially<br />
it’s business as usual.<br />
Christchurch had a quiet week<br />
as the change occurred. Ten people<br />
got themselves trapped in a<br />
lift at a city bar in the early hours<br />
last Saturday morning. It took<br />
about half an hour to free them.<br />
And a fire truck was used to<br />
hold up a severed power pole in<br />
Barrington St after a car crash<br />
on Sunday evening which kept<br />
live wires off the street and power<br />
going for Spreydon homes.<br />
Finally, fire crews assisted ambulances<br />
at about 10 incidents<br />
where people suffered seizures<br />
and died suddenly.<br />
That’s about double a normal<br />
week.<br />

Connetics Shield-holders<br />
miss national competition<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
BURNSIDE HIGH is ruing poor<br />
early season form which has cost<br />
them a spot in the nationals.<br />
But coach David Williams is<br />
not looking to blame outside<br />
forces, saying it was gutting but<br />
entirely their own fault.<br />
Four teams were selected from<br />
the Connetics first XI football<br />
competition to compete at the<br />
Boys Lotto Premier Football<br />
Tournament in Napier from<br />
September 4-8.<br />
“A draw against Shirley and<br />
letting Cashmere back into<br />
the game, which also ended<br />
up being a draw, didn’t help.<br />
If either of those games had of<br />
been a win instead of a draw,<br />
then we would be in Napier,” he<br />
said.<br />
St Andrew’s College, St<br />
Thomas, Lincoln High and<br />
Cashmere High have all made<br />
the cut for the 32-team national<br />
tournament.<br />
The teams were picked during<br />
round eight when the top four<br />
included the selected teams.<br />
Burnside were fifth in round<br />
eight, but have since moved<br />
to third after wins against<br />
Middleton Grange and Lincoln<br />
High. In their match against<br />
Lincoln, Burnside also won<br />
the Connetics Shield for the<br />
MISSING: Burnside High will look to hold on to the Connetics<br />
Shield after missing out on the national competition.<br />
first time. However, they were<br />
denied a wildcard entry into<br />
nationals, with Nelson’s Waimea<br />
College and Wellington College<br />
snapping up the last two<br />
spots.<br />
“We will now focus on<br />
trying to win the Rex Dawkins<br />
tournament in Palmerston<br />
North,” Williams said.<br />
That tournament runs at the<br />
same time as nationals.<br />
Williams said with two games<br />
and a bye left in the Connetics<br />
competition, the goal is to<br />
finish strong and hold on to the<br />
Connetics Shield.<br />
The competition now takes<br />
a three-week break and will<br />
resume on <strong>July</strong> 26 for three<br />
rounds before the finals.<br />
Burnside will not want to let<br />
go of the shield when they<br />

Bray and Britneylee Nicholson,<br />
and St Margaret’s Emma<br />
Clarke have been named in<br />
the New Zealand secondary<br />
school girls’ football team to<br />

They will play two games<br />
against Singapore women’s<br />
national A and two games<br />
against the women’s club<br />
champions at Jalan Besar<br />

“It’s a good opportunity to<br />
form a really good team and<br />
culture,” Nicholson, 17, said.<br />
Clarke, 17, and Bray, 16, were<br />
at school when they received the<br />
email letting them know they<br />
had made the team.<br />
“I let out a small scream and<br />

I couldn’t stop smiling. I have<br />
really been wanting to get into<br />
this team for a while now,” Bray<br />
said.<br />
Said Nicholson: “When I first<br />
got the email late at night I went<br />
around the house yelling and<br />
waking everyone up, I was so<br />
excited. I just felt all the hard<br />
work I had put in had paid off.”<br />
All three girls agree that the<br />
best part of being selected for the<br />
team is the great opportunity to<br />
play with other talented girls in a<br />
different country.<br />
The girls will be in Singapore<br />
from the September 27 to<br />
October 6.<br />
Both Bray and Clarke have<br />
also been picked to play for New<br />

New management<br />
A change of scenery is how Allan<br />
Cleghorn describes his new position as<br />
Manager of Bridgestone Hornby.<br />
“I want to grow our business through<br />
consistently top rate service to all<br />
customers,” says Allan.<br />
While known for supplying and<br />
fitting tyres and mag wheels, the team<br />

repair all makes and models of cars, vans,<br />
4WDs, and fleet vehicles.<br />
Their fully functional workshop with<br />

servicing from changing oil and filters,<br />
to replacing antifreeze, topping-up brake<br />
fluid, aligning wheels and serious vehicle<br />
repairs. They also do Warrant of Fitness<br />
inspections for just $40, a little cheaper<br />
than elsewhere.<br />
Bridgestone Hornby is close to the Hub<br />

or chill out over a fresh hot coffee in their<br />

The fast, efficient and friendly service,<br />
not to mention competitive rates and<br />
available finance, explains why so many<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
New treatment for fungal nails<br />
Feet First, the long-established podiatry<br />
clinic in Upper Riccarton, now has a<br />
much more efficient and effective means<br />
of dealing with the problem of fungal<br />
nails, thanks to a new machine they<br />
recently obtained from Britain, where it<br />
was designed and trialled.<br />
Clearanail is a procedure where the<br />
Podiatrists use a machine to make tiny<br />
holes in the nail without affecting the nail<br />
bed – a completely pain-free procedure<br />
that then allows the topical application of<br />
antifungal solution to directly reach the<br />
problem area.<br />
Fungal nails may cause the toenail to<br />
thicken, which consequently can make<br />
shoes feel uncomfortable. Anyone who<br />
believes they have a fungal infection<br />
of the nails is invited to make an<br />
appointment for a consultation with Feet<br />
First so one of the qualified Podiatrists<br />
can assess if that is the case, and if so, will<br />
recommend the Clearanail procedure.<br />
This involves the initial treatment, and<br />
three follow-up appointments at monthly<br />
intervals to check progress.<br />
“Fungal nail infections won’t disappear<br />
immediately,” clinic director Charlotte<br />
Russell says, “so people need to commit<br />
to the process, which can take up to four<br />
months as the nail grows.”<br />
She says now is an ideal time to start<br />
fungal nail treatment with Clearanail, so<br />
nails will be looking healthy again when<br />
the warm, sandal-wearing weather arrives.<br />
Feet First has an introductory offer on<br />
Clearanail until the end of <strong>July</strong>.<br />
