People power wins over 

Harewood liquor store bid 

But decision 

can be 

appealed 

• By Julia Evans 

“WHEN A neighbourhood rallies, we 

can do anything.” 

That was reaction of Harewood resident 

Colin Fussell after a long-running bid to 

set up a liquor store in Trafford St failed. 

Nearby residents had opposed the 

Harewood Bottle Store fighting it tooth 

and nail for more than eight months. 

Businessman Samarth Rajeshkumar 

Limbachiya’s application for a liquor 

licence to operate the Harewood Bottle 

Store was declined by the city council’s 

district licensing committee last 

week. 

Said Mr Fussell when contacted by 

Nor’West News: “I’m swinging from the 

rafters.” 

But the battle may not be over as the 

decision could be subject to an appeal by 

Mr Limbachiya’s if he applies within 10 

working days. 

The end of that appeal period is August 9. 

Nor’West News has not been able to 

make contact with Mr Limbachiya to see 

if he will appeal. 

And Mr Fussell said although that 

comes with the territory, the residents 

would be ready for another fight so it 

would be a waste of the applicant’s money.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

WHEN COMMUNITY awards 

are handed out this year, top of 

the list in the Harewood area 

and beyond should be Colin 

Fussell and Bruce Tulloch. 

The pair have fought tooth and 

nail to keep a new liquor store 

out of their neighbourhood. 

And they’ve won. 

That’s no mean feat given most 

new booze outlets in suburbia 

get through the liquor licensing 

process. 

But Colin and Bruce’s 

doggedness over the past several 

months has paid off. They 

haven’t taken a backward step in 

the fight against the Trafford St 

bid and the huge petition they 

put together was the backbone 

of a very good community 

campaign. 

So well done Bruce and Colin 

– I hope your community recognises 

the sterling and tiresome 

effort you have put in. 

– Barry Clarke

Crusade to make pupils safer 


THE CRUSADERS have touched 

down in South Africa and are in 

training mode for the weekend’s 

Super Rugby final against the 

Lions. 

But when they get home, players 

are set to take on a new challenge 

– helping St Albans School 

pupils cross the road. 

Mother Rachel 

Donaldson 

is at the helm 

of a crusade to 

stop red light 

runners at the 

intersection of 

Cranford and 

Rachel 

Donaldson 

Berwick Sts. 

The signs she 

put up at the 

intersection, which read “slow 

down,” “St Albans children 

matter” and “don’t be that driver 

who kills a child” have all been 

stolen. 

But Mrs Donaldson has far 

from given up on her mission. 

She said now she’s on the 

case of the Crusaders, who have 

agreed to run a patrol at the 

intersection after school. 

“I’ve been in touch and they’ve 

agreed, hopefully, it’ll happen 

sometime this term,” Mrs Donaldson 

said. 

Although with their trip to 

SAFETY: Red light runners at this Cranford St intersection put St Albans School children in danger 

daily. 

South Africa and final to prepare 

for, she said it’s been a tough ask 

locking in an exact date. 

But something needs to happen 

because red light runners 

have plagued the intersection for 

too long, she said. 

That being the case, momentum 

behind changing the 

attitude of drivers through that 

intersection cannot slow down. 

“The hope is that people seeing 

the Crusaders guiding children 

across the road will help spread 

the message,” Mrs Donaldson 

said. 

Her campaign was sparked 

when she saw a St Albans Primary 

School pupil clipped by 

the wing mirror of a car driving 

through a red light at the intersection. 

“The car brushed right past 

him,” Mrs Donaldson said. 

And the intersection has since 

been the target for a police sting 

that saw 17 tickets issued to dangerous 

drivers within an hour. 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board is also behind Mrs 

Donaldson and St Albans School 

parents. 

It has asked city council staff 

to do a safety audit of the streets 

around the school, including the 

Cranford St intersection. 

It is also setting up a meeting 

involving city council staff, 

board members, police, school 

staff and parents to come up 

with permanent solutions to the 

problem. 

In Brief 

NEW LONE STAR 

The city’s fourth Lone Star 

restaurant will become the 

latest tenant at Harewood’s 

Spitfire Square. The new 

restaurant is on track to open 

at the airport development in 

September. The flooring has 

been completed and the kitchen 

area has just been finished. The 

restaurant is currently seeking 

to obtain its liquor licence 

through the city council. 

TRAFFIC DELAYS 

Delays of up to 20min are 

possible at the Russley Rd and 

Memorial Ave intersection from 

August 4-6. Motorists travelling 

to and from the airport are 

advised to plan ahead and allow 

plenty of extra travel time. 

Alternatively, motorists should 

consider taking other routes 

such as Harewood Rd or the 

southern airport access road. 

CLUB LEASE RENEWED 

Burnside Rugby Football Club 

has some certainty over its 

future at Burnside Park. The 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board approved 

the club’s renewed lease of the 

rooms at the park for the next 

33 years. The lease is broken 

into three terms of 11 years 

so the club will have to seek 

renewal at the end of each term.

Application lodged to use 

community centre site 


THE SITE of the Shirley 

Community Centre is set to 

become the new home of Downer 

Group. 

The space has been used as 

headquarters for various different 

construction companies 

since the centre was demolished 

in 2012. 

And with its rebuild not 

expected to begin until 2019, the 

city council is processing the 

latest application for its use. 

Downer is set to occupy the 

10 Shirley Rd site as part of the 

Dudley Creek Flood Remediation 

work. 

Downer’s application said that 

the established facilities at the 

site are close to where it needs to 

work and would be ideal. 

However, there will be implications 

for neighbours including

city council

use of this site

Rd. PHOTO:

SLOAN 

construction traffic and heavy 

vehicles, noise, dust and run-off. 

But Downer said it will limit 

unnecessary vehicle movement 

and use the existing environmental 

management plan. 

And it has a dedicated communications 

team to deal with all 

concerns and issues. 

Working hours at the site will 

be from 7am to 6pm Monday to 

Friday and 7.30am to 12.30pm on 

Saturdays. 

The Dudley Creek work is expected 

to finish in May 2018. 

It comes after residents in 

Guild St had issues with dust, 

noise and run-off from neighbouring 

Worthington Contracting. 

However, the company left the 

area to appease residents and 

moved to a new site in North 

Canterbury. 

Warm welcome for principal 


BELFAST SCHOOL has 

welcomed its new principal 

with a special Mihi Whakatau, 

a Maori welcoming. 

Sue Elley, who is taking up 

the role, said it was the most 

wonderful experience. 

She replaces veteran principal, 

Peter Simpson, who sat at 

the helm of the school for 23 

years. 

Belfast pupils welcomed 

Mrs Elley with a kapa haka 

performance and speeches. 

And students and staff from 

Hornby High School, where 

she worked as the assistant 

principal for four years, were 

also there. 

The Hornby students also 

performed as a kapa haka 

group. 

“It brought a really nice 

closure to that part of my life. 

My previous students physically 

took me to the new school,” she 

said. 

Above all, the mihi really introduced 

Mrs Elley to the overwhelming 

sense of community 

that the Belfast School has. 

“It’s such a strong community 

based school . . . Belfast isn’t really 

a suburb, it is its own town 

on the edge of a city,” she said. 

But the new role, will bring

begin. 

It’s her first time as a principal. 

However, she said with 

the support of the school

in contact with, she’s in good 

hands.

Motorway plan fight continues 

Community board 

opposes extra 

lane across 

Waimakariri River 


THE FIGHT against a third 

Northern Motorway lane 

continues for the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board. 

The board fears traffic 

build-up in St 

Albans, and the 

surrounding 

areas, particularly 

Cranford 

St, if a third 

southbound lane 

Ali Jones 

on the Northern 

Motorway gets 

the green light. 

In a submission to Environment 

Canterbury opposing the 

additional lane, the board said 

there had not been enough investigation 

done into mitigating 

the traffic effects. 

“The board still believes the 

downstream effects need looking 

into before anyone can celebrate 

the easing of congestion, 

or the assumption that congestion 

will ease,” chairwoman Ali 

Jones said. 

LAwyERS 

PROPOSAL: The Papanui-Innes Community Board fears 

downstream congestion if the third lane is approved. 

The proposal is an additional 

high occupancy vehicle lane 

that will run into the city across 

the Waimakariri River bridge in 

a bid to ease building commuter 

congestion. 

If done in conjunction with 

work on the Northern Corridor, 

it will set taxpayers back around 

$20 million. 

But if not, it could cost up to 

$34 million. 

And without proper 

investigation into the 

downstream effects, the 

board will remain staunchly 

opposed. 

“The board opposes the 

construction of a third lane on 

the bridge until such a time as 

the downstream effects of the 

proposed lane have been fully 

investigated, consulted on with 

the community and mitigation 

measure put in place,” the submission 

said. 

But that is not all the board is 

concerned about. 

It is also concerned the 

third lane will be underutilised 

and too difficult to enforce that 

only high occupancy vehicles 

use it. 

Although it did acknowledge 

the effort undertaken to address 

the congestion on the motorway. 

The board thinks the money 

would be better spent on running 

a light rail trial from North 

Canterbury. 

“It’s a lost opportunity,” Ms 

Jones said. 

Board member and city councillor 

Mike Davidson abstained 

from the submission due to a 

conflict of interest, as he sits on 

the hearings panel. 

But the rest of the board, 

which included Ms Jones, deputy 

chairwoman Emma Norrish 

and members John Stringer, 

Jo Byrne and city councillor 

Pauline Cotter all supported the 

submission. 

ECan opened the proposal for 

public feedback until July 13. 

It received about 180 

submissions, which are finalised 

and summary report of the 

submissions is being written. 

Public hearings are scheduled 

to be held on August 7 and 14 at 

ECan’s council chamber.

think a third lane is a good 

idea? Or will it just cause 

more traffic chaos? Email

People power 

wins over 

liquor store bid 

•From page 1 

“Our opposition will be ready 

and waiting,” Mr Fussell said. 

He and fellow Trafford St resident 

Bruce Tulloch championed 

a petition against the application 

that was signed by 1144 people. 

And the city council received 86 

further public objections before 

the hearing on July 13 and 14. 

Mr Tulloch said there are more 

than enough options for buying 

liquor in the area so there was no 

logic behind granting yet another 

licence. 

He thanked everyone who had 

contributed to the campaign. 

Mr Fussell said while this battle 

was won, the war is not over. 

“The battle has been won but we 

need to address the greater issue 

in other neighbourhoods who 

are facing the same problem,” Mr 

Fussell said. 

In its report, the licensing committee 

said granting the application 

would be detrimental to the 

neighbourhood. 

“We have formed the opinion 

that amenity and good order 

would be reduced by more than 

a minor amount. The foreseen 

reduction may not be great but it 

is likely to impact on the people 

who live in the vicinity,” the 

report said.

A reader responds to the 

article in Nor’West News 

about the mobile library not 

stopping in Merivale 

Annette Chandler – I read 

your article about the mobile 

library and agree there is no need 

for it in this affluent area. I have 

come back to live here after three 

years away and can’t believe how 

Merivale has deteriorated. I’m 

retired but after living overseas 

and in Auckland find it hard to 

understand why this has happened. 

Merivale Mall is dead, the 

shops too expensive and very few 

young people around. It’s sad as 

there is no culture or atmosphere 

anywhere. The mall should 

introduce young trendy shops 

with cheaper modern clothes 

and change their attitude. The 

new cafe in the mall is awful 

and again too expensive. As for 

the supermarket, what can I say! 

Well, I’ve had my say and really 

think that this suburb is doomed 

BUS: The mobile library won’t 

be stopping in Merivale any 

time soon. 

to never attract trendy young 

people to live here unless they’re 

born here. I can think of better, 

warmer cities to retire in. 

Readers also respond 

to the article about the 

prospect of revamping 

Bishopdale 

L Barnes – I agree the toilets 

are disgusting! Just the smell as 

you walk past puts me off the 

area. Fill the empty shops to create 

a better shopping area. 

Shirley Bastin – My husband 

Dave and I have lived and 

shopped in the Bishopdale area 

now for about 35 years, so we like 

the idea of having the chance to 

have a little say in the rejuvenation 

of the mall. One thing that 

we feel would really benefit locals 

would be if the Orbiter bus route 

changed slightly so that it came 

up to Farrington Ave or similar. 

Years ago the area was very well 

served with buses but now there 

are few buses available. 


IT HAS been a good year for the 

Julie Hawke School of Dance. 

Teacher Julie Hawke was 

awarded a New Zealand Order 

of Merit Award for her services 

to highland dance in June. 

And now her St Andrew’s 

College-based dance school has 

just blown the competition out 

of the water at the New Zealand 

Highland and National Dancing 

Championships. 

Ms Hawke said she was so 

proud of all her students who 

participated but the list of those 

who took home prizes speaks 

for itself. 

Georgia Tomasi was named 

the six and under champion, 

Tamati Graham was the eight 

and under champion and Siara 

ACHIEVERS 

Success for dancers 

Clarke won the under 12 champion 

title. 

In the 18 and over category 

Lewis Gibson won four championship 

titles in sword dance, 

Irish jig double time, Irish 

hornpipe and sailor’s hornpipe, 

which saw him take home the 

overall champion title. 

Sarah Gluyas won three 

championship titles in Highland 

reel, Highland fling and reel 

O’Tulloch, which led her to win 

the 18 and over runner-up New 

Zealand champion title. 

Runner-up under 10 champion 

went to Chloe Graham. 

The competition was held 

at the Burnside High School 

Aurora Centre in July with more 

than 200 competitors from all 

around the country. 

AWARDS: Julie Hawke and the winners from her school of dance. 


WINNERS: Women’s 18 and 

over New Zealand runner-up 

Sarah Gluyas, teacher Julie 

Hawke and men’s 18 and over

primary schools, with each planning 

to use the prize money for a 

different goal. 

Throughout June, families who 

signed up were able to exchange 

their shopping receipts from The 

Palms for points for their school. 

In first place was Banks 

Avenue School, which received 

$3000 for its efforts, Mairehau 

Primary School came in second, 

winning $2000, and third was 

Queenspark School with $1000. 

Marshland School and Shirley 

Primary School each received 

$500. 

“It’s been a great competition 

for getting the whole school 

involved in a common cause, 

and the prize money is an added 

bonus,” said Toni Burnside, principal 

of Banks Avenue School. 

“We have encouraged the 

children to bring their receipts 

to school to get a heart token, 

and when they earn 50 tokens, 

they get a values wrist band for 

togetherness.” 

As for the prize money, Mrs 

Burnside said the fun has already 

been had. 

“As a school, we are always 

short of money so spending it 

would not be difficult. We have 

just set up a school radio station 

and would love to use the money 

for two chairs for our radio 

hosts,” she said. 

But how the rest of the money 

is spent is up to the children and 

their families, who did all the 

hard work. 

Runner-up Mairehau Primary 

School also enjoyed the school 

spirit of the competition. 

Bridey Hentschel, chairwoman 

of the Mairehau home 

and school committee, said the 

school encouraged students to 

bring in their receipts and the 

school donated them collectively. 

“We are so grateful for the 

prize money and hope to use it 

for more sports equipment and 

for school trips,” Ms Hentschel 

said. 

Queenspark Primary School 

hopes to use the money for 

learning resources. 

Janet Vincent, The Palms 

Shopping Centre marketing 

manager, said the mall really 

wanted to reward these schools 

for supporting their local shopping 

centre and community. 

“Our relationship with Banks 

Ave is a very special one and they 

are close to our hearts,” she said.

Selwyn House pupils excel 

in age of science and tech 


PUPILS FROM Selwyn House 

are excelling in science and 

technology. 

Ten girls have been selected to 

attend the Canterbury Westland 

Schools Science and Technology 

Fair in September. 

Natalya Flood, Kate Brown, 

Alice Hunter, Cara Birch, 

Cassidy Causer, Lucy Maynar, 

Chloe Graham, Estella Velenski, 

Emma Mason and Miya 

Hartstonge had their projects 

selected by judge, Marie Squire, 

from Canterbury University’s 

chemistry department. 

The project is part of the 

school’s CREST programme. 

Year 7 teachers are further 

engaging pupils by including 

elements of “gamification” into 

learning. 

The CREST programme was 

designed around students earning 

experience points to go up a 

level in their stages of learning. 

“We take science and technology 

very seriously at Selwyn 

House,” teacher Simon Christie 

said. 

Mr Christie stresses the importance 

of the subjects in his 

class because he said the girls 

are living in a time of unbelievable 

technological upheaval. 

“We want our students to not 

just be a part of that, but to lead 

it, and lead it ethically,” he said.

- Changing STorieS - 

Both Tim Wraight and Ché Vincent live in the Motueka region in the top of the 

South Island, an area of diverse landscapes and environments from which to 

draw inspiration for their work. 

Tim’s carved wooden work for ‘Changing Stories’ exhibition explores the 

traditions associated with the reverence given to relics and remains, using 

the cultural practices of making intricate containers that different cultures 

fashion to hold these precious objects, Maori wakahuia (treasure boxes) 

and wakatupapaku (bone boxes) and European reliquaries which held the 

bones of saints, are the starting point for these pieces. Found remains of 

creatures and objects from the natural environment in his home area. Tim 

has constructed stories around fictional and whimsical; taking an object and 

giving it a new narrative and honouring its previous existence. 

Ché’s work for this exhibition is formed by his 

passion for botany and natural processes; 

exploring the patterns created by plant forms 

by the way water changes and repeats a flow 

pattern by decay and renewal. He uses recycled 

copper panels through a process of serendipitous 

experimentation. Ché has developed a fluid and 

intuitive approach and has developed methods of 

‘Edges’ by Ché Vincent from the 

exhibition ‘Changing Stories’ at 

Little River Gallery from August 5th 

melting, beating, bending, and fusing copper into organic forms. Copper is a lovely 

metal to work with; malleable and enduring with a beautiful cast of warm colours.

Papanui teens karate success 

• By Andrew King 

PAPANUI HIGH students 

Britney Aldridge, Jade Taylor 

and Aidan Batt all had 

success at the national karate 

championships in Wellington. 

Aldridge, 18, won gold in the 

female 18 and over, under-55kg 

kumite, and the female under-21, 

under-65kg kumite categories, 

as well as bronze in the under-21 

kata. 

She said the victories were an 

incentive, especially now that she 

is ranked No 1 in her grades, to 

keep working and getting better 

at her craft. 

“For me to be labelled and 

QUICK: Britney Aldridge ducks a kick during one of her bouts. 

ranked as a national champ is 

awesome . . . and it just makes 

me train even harder to make 

sure I stay on top,” she said. 

“Ever since I was a kid, the 

Olympics had always been a 

dream of mine. And now that 

our sport is in the games, I hope 

that 2024 will give me a chance 

to make my dream a reality.” 

Taylor, 16, won gold in the female 

14-17 team kata and female 

14-17 team kumite categories, as 

well as silver in the female 16-17, 

58kg-plus kumite category. 

“Being a tomboy and having 

two left feet meant ballet wasn’t 

an option,” Taylor said. “It feels 

good to achieve when you have 

put a lot of time and training 

into it.” 

Batt, 14, received a silver medal 

for his efforts in the male 14-17 

team kata category. He said it 

was all about the team getting a 

result. 

“Knowing my team and 

I trained hours upon hours 

perfecting our routine to end up 

second in New Zealand is a great 

success,” he said. 

The event was held from July 

15-16 and involved more than 

700 competitors across 150 

categories.

to gold in the under-23 world 

championships in Plovdiv, 

Bulgaria. 

He was a

was sitting in fifth position, 

but then powered over the next 

1000m to push into second 

place at the 1500m mark. 

The late burst of strength saw

Roberts grabs gold at schools champs 


ST ANDREW’S College student 

Oisin Roberts fought his way 

to a gold medal at the New 

Zealand secondary schools judo 

tournament in Lincoln. 

Roberts, 17, won the under- 

73kg category of the tournament 

held from July 15-16, which adds 

to his already impressive tally of 

medals. 

“The first thing that went 

through my head was probably 

relief that all my fights were over 

and I had managed to win them 

all,” Roberts said. 

In total, he has won two gold 

and three silver medals during 

his time competing in national 

tournaments, as well as a bronze 

medal in 2015 at the Oceania 

judo championships. 

The win allows him to look 

ahead to bigger and better 

events, such as the Olympics and 

Commonwealth Games, which 

he is keen to compete in. 

“It would be awesome if I 

could compete at the Olympics 

or Commonwealth Games, but 

I still need to consider whether 

this is where I want to take my 


ST ANDREW’S rowers Ben 

Taylor and Thomas Russel 

have touched down in Trakai, 

Lithuania, and tomorrow will 

begin their quest with the junior 

men’s coxless quad for world 

championship glory. 

The pair departed on July 23 

with the 21-strong New Zealand 

team who will compete in eight 

events at the Junior World Rowing 

Championships. 

Taylor and Russel had both 

been training at the New Zealand 

Rowing Gallagher High-Performance 

Centre at Lake Karapiro in 

preparation for the regatta. 

They were a part of the winning 

St Andrew’s Maadi Cup team 

which not only brought back the 

top prize for the first time in the 

college’s history, but the Springbok 

Shield as well. 

Both said they are incredibly 

proud to be able to represent their 

country in a sport they love.

judo and how I would balance 

this with the rest of my life,” he 

said. 

Roberts father, who lives in 

Somerfield, got him into the 

sport at an early age and he 

loved the competitive side of it. 

“When you get to stand at the 

top of the podium, that is when 

you realise that all your hard 

work was worth it in the end,” 

he said. 

“Both my parents and my 

coach said that I had fought very 

well and thoroughly deserved 

the medal. My parents also said 

that they were very proud of 

me.”

HOPEFUL: Ben Taylor (left)

There will be more than 745 

competitors from 58 countries 

competing in the championships 

which ends on Sunday. 

The crew of four also includes 

Matt MacDonald and Daniel 

Williamson, of Auckland, and is 

coached by Tony O’Connor. 

The Beasts move 

up points ladder 


BURNSIDE HIGH will watch 

from the sideline tomorrow 

night with the bye, after 

moving into second position in 

the Connetics first XI football 

competition with a 5-1 win over 

Christ’s. 

Burnside, also known as The 

Beasts, Cashmere High and St 

Thomas’ all moved up a notch 

on the table after league leaders 

St Andrew’s were beaten 1-0 by 

St Thomas’ last week. 

St Andrew’s dropped from 

first to fourth and will be looking 

to get back to their winning 

ways when they take on 11thplaced 

Middleton Grange at 

4pm tomorrow at the Christchurch 

Football Centre, where all 

games are played this year. 

Papanui High secured their 

third win of the season beating 

Riccarton High 3-2. They now 

turn their attention to Christ’s 

at 7.30pm tomorrow. 

Christchurch Boys’ High, 

who are coming off a 2-0 loss to 

Lincoln High, will look to grab 

three points from Shirley when 

they face each other tomorrow 

night at 5.45pm. 

Sixth-placed St Bede’s will 

look to continue to nip at the 

heels of the league leaders when 

they take on struggling Rangiora 

at 4pm after beating Shirley 

last week 2-0.

Burnside 

claims 

first win 


BURNSIDE HIGH recorded its 

first win of the season in the UC 

Championship with a tight 33-31 

victory over Mid-Canterbury 

Combined on Saturday. 

With two rounds to go, it 

would have been a nervous time 

for the boys’ from Memorial Ave 

thinking a winless season was in 

store for them. 

Down 18-0 at halftime, the 

thought of another defeat must 

have stirred something inside 

Burnside as they came out and 

scored 33 points in the second 

stand giving them a bonus point 

win moving them off the bottom 

of the table. 

In the other games, 

Christchurch Boys’ High beat 

Marlborough Boys’ 20-14 in 

Blenheim which was enough to 

retain second position on the 

table, two points behind Timaru 

Boys’ High. 

CBHS has a game in hand 

and could go top of the table in 

the final round with a win, as 

Timaru has the bye. 

St Andrew’s is nipping at 

the heels of the top four with a 

17-12 win over St Thomas’ on 

Saturday, although it does not 

get much easier for the boys 

from Papanui Rd with thirdplaced 

Christ’s this Saturday and 

Nelson College the week after 

that. 

St Bede’s sat out round 14 with 

the bye and will look to make a 

strong finish to the season when 

they play Waimea Combined 

on Saturday before heading 

to Timaru to take on Aoraki 

Combined.

HERBED CHICKEN THIGHS 

Directions 

Ingredients 

6 Chicken thigh cutlets, skinned 

and boned (about 500g) 

1 clove Garlic, crushed 

1 Anchovy fillet, finely chopped 

2 Tbsp Breadcrumbs 

1 Tbsp Grated parmesan cheese 

1 small Lemon, zested and juiced 

2 Tbsp Chopped parsley 

1½ tsp Cumin seeds, toasted and

thighs. Cover, place in the fridge 

and leave to marinate for about 

one hour. 

Remove from fridge and bring 

to room temperature. 

Pour enough oil into a large 

frying pan to just cover the base 

and place over a medium heat. 

Rub marinade into chicken as 

much as you can then roll each 

chicken thigh in dry breadcrumbs. 

Place in hot oil and fry on each 

side until brown and cooked 

through. Serve with plenty of

HOME & HEATING 

Choosing the right heat 

pump for your home 

Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, 

most homes include at least one heat pump, 

if not a whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are much more 

convenient than a log burner as you just need 

to press a button. But how do you decide 

what is best? Choosing the right sized heat 

pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort 

levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore 

important to get professional advice from heat 

pump experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it 

is important to select the correct size for your 

requirements that will handle the job but not 

be unnecessarily overpowered. 

Secondly, the location of your heat pump 

is also extremely important. The cheapest 

installation is a back to back where the outdoor 

unit is positioned directly behind the indoor 

unit however this is not necessarily always 

the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands 

vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of 

systems and price, so it depends on your 

application as to which will be most suitable. 

Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, 

Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are 

all reliable brands backed up by good technical 

after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but 

also validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the 

remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi 

capabilities. 

Heating is a major investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the right advice. 

Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply, 

installation and servicing of all major brands 

of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers 

ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as 

to which system will suit your application 

the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no 

obligation quote and will come to your home 

to see what is required. Visit our website at

The facts about 

home ventilation 

Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure 

Under the New Zealand Building Code, 

all buildings, including residential, need to 

be suitably ventilated, either with opening 

windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1 

states: “The objective of this provision is 

to safeguard people from illness or loss of 

amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are 

many benefits to forced, or mechanical, 

ventilation over opening windows, including 

warmth, security, reduction of outside noises 

and reduction of condensation. 

Traditional domestic ventilation systems 

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from 

outside via the roof space and force the stale air 

out through gaps around windows and doors. 

The incoming air from these 

systems has to be heated or 

cooled to keep the house warm 

in winter or cool in summer. 

The Smooth-Air HEX390 is 

a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It 

extracts air from the house and 

at the same time brings in fresh 

air. These two streams of air 

pass through a heat exchanger, 

which warms incoming air in 

winter and cools in summer if 

air conditioning is being used. 

This means that up to 80% of 

the energy which would be 

Remove 

cooking smells 

and steam! 

Remote 

extraction fans 

wasted using a traditional positive pressure 

system is recovered, resulting in significant 

energy savings and therefore lower heating or 

cooling costs. 

Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation 

systems have been considerably more 

expensive than traditional positive pressure 

systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique 

manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390 

balanced pressure system can be installed for 

a similar price as a traditional positive pressure 

system.

GO-Advanced 

Omega-PC Fish Oil 

It is well known how important 

omega-3 fatty acids are to good 

health. It is estimated most people 

don’t even get a third of the 

recommended omega-3 fatty acids 

on a weekly basis. Countries with 

a higher amounts of omega-3 in 

their diet are known to have lower 

cardiovascular disease and, in 

many cases, better overall health. 

Recent research has shown 

inflammation to be a big part of 

disease and the ageing process. 

Fish oil can help reduce 

inflammation by providing 

essential fatty acids required 

by the body to heal itself and 

maintain good health. Until now 

most fish oil only contained omega-3 fatty 

acids in triglyceride form. Fish, however, 

naturally contain omega-3 in triglyceride 

and phospholipid form but until recently 

the phospholipid form was lost due to the 

manufacturing process. 

GO-Advanced Omega-PC sets new 

standards in fish oil as it contains 

omega-3 attached to both triglycerides 

and phospholipids. Studies have shown 

GO-Advanced Omega-PC to be far better 

absorbed, leading to increased levels of 

vital omega-3 fatty acids in the organs 

thru giving the potential for more health 

benefits. 

121 Skyhawk Road 

GO-Advanced Omega-PC is produced 

from fresh wild deep sea cold water fish 

using a new advanced and more natural 

cold extraction process that better 

preserves the natural nutrient profile found 

in fish. It is manufactured to high GMP 

standards and is molecularly distilled to 

remove any containments, toxins and 

heavy metals. 

Further info on this revolutionary new 

fish oil and its benefits is available from 

the Natural Health Advisers, Naturopath 

and Medical Herbalist at Marshall’s 

Health & Natural Therapy in New 

Brighton, phone 388 5757. We are always

Osteoporosis is a serious condition 

...but research shows it can be reversed! 

Osteoporosis is not taken as a serious 

condition by most people! Most people 

don’t realise they have osteoporosis until 

a fracture happens, as there are usually 

no signs or symptoms. Fractures can 

commonly be debilitating with chronic 

pain and can lead to early mortality. 

Fractures kill more women than all 

gynaecological cancers put together and 

one in six women taken to hospital with 

a hip fracture, will not come out alive and 

men fare even worse. Around one in three 

women and one in twelve men are affected 

with osteoporosis. 

The most common osteoporotic fractures 

are of the wrist, spine, shoulder and hip. 

Vertebral collapse is a compression fracture 

and causes back pain often with shooting 

pains due to compression of the nerves. 

Multiple vertebral fractures lead to a 

stooped posture, loss of height and chronic 

pain with reduced mobility. Hip fractures, 

in particular, usually require prompt 

surgery, as there is a serious risk associated 

with it of deep vein thrombosis and 

pulmonary embolism leading to increased 

mortality. 

Osteoporosis literally means “bones with 

holes”. It occurs when bones lose minerals 

such as calcium more quickly than the 

body can replace them. Although calcium 

is essential for bone health other minerals 

like magnesium, zinc and trace minerals 

like silica, boron, manganese, copper are 

essential also. Vitamin’s D3 and K2 have 

been shown to be essential in a bone 

support program. 

A less well known mineral strontium, 

Osteoporosis, the weakening of the bone is a serious health threat 

that often leads to severe pain, fractures & early mortality. Research 

has found the bones can be re-mineralised & strengthened when 

the required nutrients are present. Minerals calcium, magnesium & 

vitamins D3 & K2 are essential but are not enough in many cases. 

A missing link appears to be the mineral strontium. 

Research shows strontium to positively affect bone density. 

Bringing You the Best in Natural Health! 


that is naturally found in your bones 

has been researched and found in 

four landmark studies to actually 

reverse bone loss when sufficient other 

nutrients are present. One study of 1,649 

postmenopausal women with osteoporosis 

who had had at least one fracture were 

divided into two groups. Both groups 

took vitamin D and calcium supplements. 

One group were also given 680mg/day 

of strontium. After the three year study 

the strontium group showed an unheard 

of average bone growth of 8.1%. This 

study shows that osteoporosis can not 

only be halted but may even be reversed 

and without the side effects of common 

osteoporosis drugs. 

Further information on how to 

support your bone density and overall 

health is available from the natural 

health specialists at Marshall’s Health 

& Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, 

New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are

ONLY GO OMEGA-PC retains the natural Phospholipids that have been shown to be so beneficial for Good 

Health BUT are lost in other brands of fish oil due to the less natural manufacturing processes used! 

GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC SETS NEW STANDARDS IN FISH OIL! 

Omega-3 fish oil normally contains the vital Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form. Fish however naturally

manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better

increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.

Take a trip with 

Third Aged Tours 

Taking people aged over 50 on trips 

around New Zealand and the world for 

nearly 20 years has earned Third Age Tours 

a brag book that Director Brenda Corby- 

Yarrall says “businesses would give their 

eye teeth for.’’ 

“Taking small groups of 10 – 24 people 

means I can operate the tour in a relaxed, 

companionable manner. We have an 

absolute blast when we’re away. It’s all about 

having fun”. 

“Most of my trips are run annually 

because they’re so 

popular, but I’m always 

adding new destinations 

- like “Sicily, South Italy 

& Vatican” + “Cuba”, as 

people ask for them.’’ 

Brenda checks out 

all accommodation 

before booking it, and 

ensures the party spends 

at least a few nights at 

each place. “That way 

you don’t feel like you’re 

living out of a suitcase.’’ 

Many clients now have 

made over 20 tours with 

us, one has completed a 

whopping 27 tours. 

“My clients tell me 

they keep coming back 

because of the size of the groups and our 

relaxed manner. My motto is ‘There are no 

strangers, only friends waiting to meet.’ 

We gather together for breakfast at 

8.30am which sets us up for the day and 

everybody thinks is a very civilised hour.’’ 

“I organise incredible trips at incredible 

prices. Look around, you can’t find better 

for all we include”.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 


Experience expert 

dental care 

Six fabulous years and still going strong! 

The team of Fendalton Dental Surgery 

takes this opportunity to thank their 

loyal patients, the supportive Canterbury 

dental fraternity and the wonderful local 

community. They celebrate yet another 

glorious anniversary after being forced 

to relocate to this premises after the 

earthquakes in 2011. It used to be called 

Cambridge Dental Surgery while they 

were in the CBD but since moving to this 

lovely Fendalton suburb in July 2011. 

Fendalton Dental Surgery, on the 

high profile corner of Idris & Glandovey 

Roads has been looking after the dental 

needs of the local community as well 

as the wider Christchurch area since 

2011. Dentists Keith Chiang and Zohnia 

McNeill and Oral Health Therapist, Amy 

Lee offer a complete range of dental 

and oral care services, all in a very calm 

and relaxed environment. Supporting 

them are dental nurses Simone and Jola 

and the ever-efficient highly organised 

practice manager, Aysha who bring with 

them their very own style and range of 

competencies in each and every aspect. 

“We listen carefully to what our patients 

tell us so we can address each of their 

dental problems and help them achieve 

good oral health,” says Keith. 

A major component of Keith’s work 

is under IV sedation, which is available 

for people that are very nervous about 

visiting the dentist. He has performed 

more than 2000 Intravenous sedation 

procedures and the clinic is equipped 

with the latest advanced equipment for 

sedation monitoring. He has a special 

interest in Oral Surgery, Impacted 

wisdom teeth, surgical extractions, 

Placement of Implants and Intra venous 

sedation. 

For people with damaged or missing 

teeth, Zohnia will discuss with them the 

options of having crowns, permanent 

implants or dentures fitted, all of which 

have the added advantage of helping 

clients regain their functional bite as 

well as improve their smile and overall 

confidence. She has a special interest in 

Cosmetic dentistry, Root Canals and 

Geriatric dentistry. Her calm approach 

and special individual attention to detail 

has helped deal with most common dental 

issues in her patients. 

Amy Lee, our Oral Therapist and 

Hygienist specialises in the overall 

maintenance of healthy teeth and gums. 

She educates her patients on how to look 

The team at Fendalton Dental Surgery 

after their oral health, which if not taken 

care of can have detrimental effects on 

their overall health. The gum disease, 

Gingivitis is one of the main reasons 

why people lose their teeth and can be 

a social stigma with bad breath, while 

research also indicates that gum disease 

or otherwise called Gingivitis in pregnant 

women can mean a higher chance of 

premature birth and low birth weight. 

Dry mouth or reduced salivary flow, 

which is caused by certain medications 

that people take can also lead to gum 

problems and tooth decay. By visiting the 

hygienist regularly, gum problems can be 

prevented, and consequently tooth decay 

as well as more serious health issues can 

be avoided. 

Fendalton Dental Surgery will soon add 

to its suite of advanced dental equipment 

with a state-of-the-art 3D CT scanner, 

which will be used to scan jaws, enabling 

the dentists to give a better diagnosis of 

clients’ dental problems. 

The Fendalton Dental Team invites 

you and new patients to visit their 

practice and experience Expert Care as 

being one of their valued patients. Easily 

accessible, highly visible and with plenty 

of on-site parking, Fendalton Dental 

Surgery, on the corner of Glandovey and 

Idris road, is open Monday to Friday 

8.30am-5pm. Phone 351 1188 for an 

appointment, or simply call in.

THE RYMAN HEALTHCARE SEASON OF 

Juliet 

A NEW BALLET 

by Francesco Ventriglia 

Isaac Theatre Royal 

25 – 26 August 

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: PATRICIA BARKER

FALL IN LOVE 

THIS WINTER 

WITH THE ROYAL 

NEW ZEALAND 

BALLET’S 

W O R L D 

PREMIERE OF 

R O M E O A N D 

JULIET 

A sunlit piazza, the candlelit corner of 

a noble ballroom, a moonlit balcony… 

when young lovers meet, the world is 

stilled… then changed forever. 

Italian choreographer Francesco Ventriglia creates 

a new production of Shakespeare’s great love story, 

especially for the Royal New Zealand Ballet. This 

brand new ballet, with exquisite sets and costumes 

by Oscar-winning designer James Acheson (The Last 

Emperor, Dangerous Liaisons) brings to life all of 

the splendour and seduction of Renaissance Verona, 

swept up in Prokofiev’s exhilarating, passionate 

score. Join us as we follow the Montagues and 

Capulets in Shakespeare’s original tale of two starcrossed 

lovers though desire, struggle and tragedy. 

Sure to be the highlight of the 2017 arts calendar 

this is a production not to be missed.

ACCOMPANIED BY THE CSO 

The RNZB is absolutely thrilled to have the musicians 

of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra joining 

us once again for our Christchurch performances. 

Christchurch born Hamish McKeich will conduct as 

the CSO brings Prokofiev’s beautiful ballet score 

to life, filling the Isaac Theatre Royal with the 

unbeatable sound of live orchestral music. 

Choreographer Francesco Ventriglia, dancer Madeleine 

Graham and Leading Guest Artist Sir Jon Trimmer at 

Ryman Healthcare’s Anthony Wilding village. 

Ryman Healthcare is thrilled to once again 

be associated with the creation of a major 

production for the Royal New Zealand Ballet. 

Ryman Chief Executive Gordon MacLeod said 

residents and staff were planning a whole 

lot of Romeo and Juliet-themed events to 

celebrate the season. 

“We’re delighted to be able to support the 

RNZB’s production of Romeo and Juliet. We 

think our residents – and the rest of New 

Zealand – are in for a real treat. Our ballet 

company is a national treasure and it is a 

pleasure to be able to support the company 

as they take their performance nationwide.’’ 

Mr MacLeod said staff at Ryman’s 30 villages 

had a whole lot of events lined up to make 

sure everyone gets into the swing of things. 

Activities planned include balcony decorating 

competitions, a grand masquerade ball in 

the style of the Capulet house, Shakespeare 

quizzes and residents would be encouraged 

to recount their own memories of young 

romance. 

As part of the partnership with RNZB 

members of the company visit Ryman’s 

villages to meet residents unable to get out 

to the performances. 

“Romeo and Juliet is doubly exciting because 

Madeleine Graham – who we have sponsored 

for a number of years – is dancing the role of 

Juliet! We feel like she’s part of the family.’’
