Mall comes out of the 1990s<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

THE EARLY stages of taking<br />

Merivale Mall out of the 1990s<br />

are on track to be finished by<br />

early November.<br />

Modernising “dated” shop<br />

fronts and bathrooms are just<br />

stages one and two of the five<br />

step mall upgrade, mall manager<br />

Nicola Dolan said.<br />

“The final scope is yet to be<br />

decided for the jobs next and they<br />

are the most expensive, so I don’t<br />

really have a definitive number,”<br />

Mrs Dolan said.<br />

She said the overall upgrade<br />

will hopefully be completed by<br />

early November 2018.<br />

She won’t say how much the<br />

upgrade will cost.<br />

“It’s been such a long time in<br />

the making, last time the mall<br />

was updated was 1998 so we’re<br />

pretty excited,” Mrs Dolan said.<br />

Stage one is “pushing up and<br />

out” shop fronts to create a more<br />

open space, she said.<br />

While stage two is a total<br />

renovation of the pre-1998 bathrooms.<br />

Mrs Dolan said AMP Capital,<br />

which owns the mall, expects<br />

tenants’ shop fit-outs to follow<br />

suit and fit in with the new look<br />

of the mall.<br />

“There is an expectation that<br />

shops will follow in step like<br />

Kimberleys, Hartleys and Esquires<br />

have,” she said.<br />

But in the upgrade process,<br />

the mall is losing one of its oldest<br />

tenants. Paper Plus will go and<br />

Whitcoulls will move in.<br />

Paper Plus co-owner Simon<br />

Grant said the mall’s owner<br />

had accepted a higher rent from<br />

Whitcoulls which he couldn’t<br />

match.<br />

It was “gutting” and he didn’t<br />

like to let down the loyal customer<br />

base the store has grown over<br />

the 23 years it has been there.<br />

“There are a lot of things that<br />

we do that Whitcoulls doesn’t,<br />

but I guess the landlords are<br />

thinking about rent,” he said.<br />

Mrs Dolan said she had “gone<br />

into bat” for Paper Plus and was<br />

sad to see the store leave. But at<br />

the end of the day, it wasn’t able<br />

to compete.<br />

Stage three, upgrading the<br />

Fresh Choice storeroom, is also<br />

under way, but stage four and<br />

five, flooring and updating the<br />

“ambience” of the mall, won’t<br />

begin until next year, she said.<br />

THE<br />

EDITOR’S<br />

DESK <strong>News</strong>.......................................3, 5<br />

IF IT’S wet on Saturday Timaru<br />

Boys’ could have the upper hand<br />

in the UC Championship final<br />

against Christchurch Boys’ High.<br />

They’ve got a fairly dominant<br />

forward pack and Timaru<br />

has been the team with the<br />

momentum in the competition<br />

over the past months.<br />

That insight into the final<br />

doesn’t come from me – but from<br />

Star Media’s sports reporters<br />

Gordon Findlater and Andrew<br />

King.<br />

In the round robin match CBHS<br />

won a hard fought battle in Timaru,<br />

and everything points to the same<br />

this weekend, Findlater says.<br />

King says utility Rico Syme,<br />

could be the difference towards<br />

the business end of the match.<br />

He’s a gained a bit of reputation in<br />

being a game breaker.<br />

So the prediction: King: CBHS<br />

33-31. Findlater: TBHS: 17-15. For<br />

He suggested that it was<br />

OPINION IS divided over the<br />

roadworks in the area that<br />

effectiveness of the lights at the<br />

than 60 readers’ comments.<br />

bike to the shops, so why would<br />

Some expressed frustration,<br />

“death trap” and “nightmare”.<br />

He wrote it had to be<br />

revealed anger and frustration at<br />

fine” left as a unsignalised<br />

the intersection.<br />

CONFUSION: The signals at the intersection of Colombo St T-intersection.<br />

The city council said it and Edgeware Rd have divided public opinion. ​<br />

And Jo French agreed, saying<br />

was caused by motorists not<br />

the upgrades were part of<br />

approaching the lights correctly<br />

making the intersection safer.<br />

“The intersection is less<br />

dangerous than it was and so<br />

long as everyone follows the new<br />

rules, it will continue to be so,”<br />

she wrote.<br />

otoring“It was a stupid idea putting<br />

parking outside the shops near<br />

the traffic lights,” she wrote.<br />

And Colombo St business<br />

owner Carolyn Moffat wrote<br />

that profit is down considerably.<br />

“Business owners were hoping<br />

that things would improve once<br />

the cycle lane had finished but<br />

the congestion means people are<br />

and not triggering the phasing.<br />

But Bailies Bar and Restaurant<br />

co-owner Richard Norton said<br />

the city council needed to do<br />

something as drivers had taken<br />

to rat running through the car<br />

park<br />

asty<br />

to avoid congestion, which<br />

Bites<br />

would end in an accident.<br />

Julie Nicholson wrote on<br />

Facebook that she had waited<br />

behind a parked car on<br />

Colombo St thinking it was<br />

traffic turning left.<br />

avoiding the area altogether,”<br />

she wrote.<br />

She said most businesses in<br />

the area have been suffering<br />

since the roadworks began and<br />

even though they are complete,<br />

it’s too late.<br />

But many readers agree<br />

that congestion is the fault of<br />

motorists and the intersection is<br />

much better now.<br />

“This is a driver problem,<br />

nothing more, stop in the right<br />

spot and you’ll trigger the lights.<br />

The cycleways have improved<br />

this area for cyclists and<br />

pedestrians,” James David Foote<br />

wrote.<br />

WELL DONE: Papanui High School’s jazz band.<br />

SPORTS<br />

Papanui ends<br />

on high note<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

PAPANUI HIGH School can<br />

blow its own trumpet after<br />

winning a pair of gold and silver<br />

medals at jazz band competitions.<br />

Under the directorship of<br />

music teacher, Georgina Rees-<br />

Stevenson, the band won a gold<br />

medal at the Southern Jam in<br />

Blenheim.<br />

They were up against a field of<br />

15 other schools and more than<br />

25 bands.<br />

Students Claire Daddiza and<br />

Arama Ruka-Thompson were<br />

also selected for inclusion in the<br />

All Stars band off the back of<br />

their performance at the jam.<br />

Judges selected those they<br />

considered to be the best on each<br />

instrument.<br />

Then, after only a two hour<br />

rehearsal, they performed in a<br />

gala concert on <strong>August</strong> 12.<br />

The jazz band also won a gold<br />

medal at the Ara JazzQuest<br />

earlier this month.<br />

And the school’s Jazz Combo<br />

band won silver medals at both<br />

ARA JazzQuest and Southern<br />

Jam as well.<br />

See Shrek and friends<br />

at Selwyn House<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

CURTAIN CALL is almost<br />

ready for Selwyn House’s Shrek<br />

the Musical Jnr.<br />

After weeks of rehearsals,<br />

pupils are ready to perform<br />

their biannual production to<br />

audiences for three shows on<br />

Friday and Saturday.<br />

Shrek is a one-of-a-kind,<br />

hilarious fairy tale in which<br />

curses are reversed, monsters get<br />

the girls, donkeys and dragons<br />

find love, and princesses are<br />

beautiful in all shapes and sizes.<br />

Director Therese Bierwirth,<br />

said Shrek was chosen because of<br />

how funny it is and it has all the<br />

well-known fairy-tale characters,<br />

such as Pinocchio and the Big<br />

Bad Wolf.<br />

“It also has a serious<br />

understory so that the girls<br />

in the production can make<br />

connections to real world issues,”<br />

Ms Bierwirth said.<br />

She said the 73 strong cast<br />

have put their heart and soul into<br />

bringing the production to life.<br />

“They are having a great deal<br />

of fun while learning that a<br />

full blown production of this<br />

nature needs to be polished, slick<br />

and well oiled. They have also<br />

learnt about the importance of<br />

theatre business including stagecraft,<br />

and how everything works<br />

Young artist’s big chance<br />

ashion<br />

IMAGINE SEEING your sculpture<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

on display in the city alongside<br />

the likes of Antony Gormley and<br />

Ronnie van Hout.<br />

That’s about to become a reality<br />

for 16-year-old Villa Maria student<br />

Ruby Williams.<br />

Ruby won the senior section of<br />

the Re:ACTIVATE project organised<br />

by SCAPE Public Art and will<br />

Gardening<br />

soon see her sketches come to life as<br />

a sculpture in Hagley Park.<br />

Although the honour doesn’t<br />

come with the same $800,000 pay<br />

check that Gormley received.<br />

Ruby’s design relates to the concept<br />

of memory and will involve<br />

recreating a tree’s lost limb out of<br />

metal mesh.<br />

The sculpture will be on display<br />

Motoring<br />

September for six weeks.<br />

The design was of a live tree with<br />

its branch previously sawn off due<br />

to damage or disease, Ruby said.<br />

“Replacing that branch with a<br />

wire mesh copy resembling the<br />

memory of the limb that used to be<br />

there. The city is similar in some regards<br />

– it fell during the earthquake<br />

Tasty Bites<br />

and was completely changed, parts<br />

of it were gone but not forgotten.”<br />

Engineers from Lewis and Bradford<br />

have been tasked with taking<br />

Ruby’s idea and making it a reality.<br />

OPPORTUNITY: Ruby Williams<br />

with her original sketches.<br />

She met with the engineers,<br />

SCAPE art staff and Botanic<br />

Gardens staff to choose the perfect<br />

tree.<br />

“I have always loved art and creating<br />

things,” Ruby said.<br />

“This experience is incredibly surreal<br />

to me. As for my future, I am<br />

unsure what path I will go down<br />

but there is a 100 per cent chance it<br />

will be a creative one.”<br />

MAORI LEADERS are likened<br />

to the “mighty” totara tree.<br />

So the Rotary Club of<br />

Belfast Kaiapoi think it’s only<br />

appropriate to identify its future<br />

leaders “young totaras” as well.<br />

This year<br />

that honour<br />

was given<br />

to Kaiapoi<br />

Alexandra<br />

McCracken,<br />

At a special<br />

Waimakariri<br />

MP Matt<br />

Doocey, presented Alexandra her<br />

award before she planted a totara<br />

tree in the Styx Mill Reserve on<br />

Husseys Rd.<br />

The young totara award<br />

publicly recognises the positive<br />

achievements of young people,<br />

promoting sound role models<br />

for our youth and fostering<br />

responsible attitudes toward the<br />

community.<br />

Alexandra embodies this<br />

CBHS set to<br />

defend UC<br />

champs title<br />

against Timaru<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High<br />

will look to defend their UC<br />

Championship title against<br />

Timaru Boys’ High on Saturday.<br />

They are in the final after a<br />

tough, come-from-behind battle<br />

against Nelson College, which<br />

required the depth off the bench<br />

to get them home 40-34 after<br />

trailing 29-12 at halftime.<br />

The last time CBHS met Timaru<br />

was in round three, with CBHS<br />

winning <strong>22</strong>-17.<br />

Starting fullback Rico Syme,<br />

who is a recent addition to the<br />

first XV due to injuries, slotted<br />

into first-five in the second half<br />

against Nelson and provided a<br />

few moments of magic to help the<br />

team get home.<br />

The final will be played at<br />

CBHS’s Straven Rd ground. They<br />

have made a bit of a habit of<br />

going behind and then making a<br />

comeback, but they will look to<br />

correct that on Saturday.<br />

Timaru made the final after a<br />

solid 24-10 over Christ’s College<br />

in Timaru. Meanwhile, St Bede’s<br />

will play Marlborough Boys’<br />

College in the bowl final after<br />

beating Shirley Boys’ High 36-33,<br />

while St Andrew’s missed out on a<br />

spot in the plate final after a 57-14<br />

defeat to Waimea Combined.<br />

St Andrew’s makes bid<br />

for boys and girls titles<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

ST ANDREW’S College has the<br />

opportunity to do the double<br />

with both its boys and girls<br />

football teams making the finals<br />

in their competitions.<br />

The boys team known as ‘the<br />

thistles’ ground-out a 1-0 win<br />

over Cashmere High last week<br />

to book themselves in the<br />

final.<br />

The girls team cruised past<br />

Burnside High 3-0 to make the<br />

final against Cashmere High who<br />

beat Rangiora High 3-1.<br />

Both finals will be played on<br />

<strong>August</strong> 30 at English Park.<br />

St Andrew’s boys coach Matt<br />

Jansen said it was an awesome<br />

feeling to make the final and the<br />

boys are really keen to take it<br />

home.<br />

“They [St Thomas] have been a<br />

really competitive team this year.<br />

They beat us in the regional finals<br />

in futsal, then beat us 1-0 to win<br />

the league, so now, it’s spoiling<br />

time,” he said.<br />

“We are looking to take the<br />

momentum from this final into<br />

the nationals.”<br />

Cashmere coach Craig Squire<br />

BUSINESSES<br />

FINALS TIME: St Andrew’s beat Cashmere High 1-0 to make<br />

the final against St Thomas on <strong>August</strong> 30 at English Park.<br />

said it was disappointing to not<br />

make the final.<br />

“We played well in a very tight<br />

game with not many chances for<br />

both teams,” he said.<br />

“The coaching team are very<br />

proud of the effort the team has<br />

put in and continue to put in to<br />

developing their football and<br />

improving each week.”<br />

In the other boys semi-final,<br />

Burnside High and St Thomas<br />

saw the back of the net bulge<br />

with eight goals with the team<br />

known as ‘the saints’ getting past<br />

‘the beasts’, 5-3.<br />

Burnside coach David<br />

Williams said they played hard<br />

and gave it their all but let<br />

themselves down in defence.<br />

“We are now turning our<br />

minds to the tournament in<br />

Palmerston North. We won this<br />

tournament two years ago when<br />

it was in Papamoa so it would<br />

be great to have our names on it<br />

again,” he said.<br />

In the plate final, St Bede’s will<br />

take on last year’s champions<br />

Lincoln High at English Park on<br />

<strong>August</strong> 30.<br />

St Bede’s cruised into the final<br />

with a comfortable 4-0 win over<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High, while<br />

Lincoln beat Shirley Boys’ High<br />

1-0.<br />

Aldridge continues golden<br />

run at karate tournament<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

PAPANUI HIGH School’s<br />

Britney Aldridge has continued<br />

her stunning form winning<br />

gold at the world karate<br />

championships on the Gold<br />

Coast.<br />

The 18-year-old won gold<br />

with her team in the senior<br />

women’s kata and bronze in the<br />

individual female senior open<br />

event at the tournament<br />

earlier this month.<br />

It backs up her<br />

gold in the female 18<br />

and over, under-55kg<br />

kumite, and the female<br />

under-21, under-65kg<br />

kumite categories, as well<br />

as bronze in the under-21<br />

kata at the national<br />

karate championships in<br />

Wellington.<br />

Aldridge said it was an<br />

incredible feeling.<br />

“We won 2013 gold in<br />

the junior team, too, so<br />

taking out the senior<br />

open this year was just<br />

the cherry on top,” she<br />

said.<br />

She now turns<br />

her attention to the<br />

Goju world karate<br />

championship in Romania<br />

in September, where she will<br />

defend her 2015 title before<br />

the junior world under-21<br />

karate competition in Spain in<br />

October.<br />

“Defending my title [in<br />

Romania] is going to be a big<br />

experience but, as always, I’m<br />

ready for the challenge,” she said.<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />

These conditions may be caused<br />

by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions,<br />

vibrations, mechanical compression, or<br />

sustained or awkward positions.<br />

The shorter and tenser the muscle, the<br />

harder it pulls on the places it attaches to<br />

(e.g. the bone). When this happens in the<br />

forearm the pull at those attachments and<br />

tendons causes irritation and inflammation<br />

of those areas. This will be noticed as pain in<br />

the elbow and wrist. When this happens in<br />

the neck and shoulder area, it will be noticed<br />

as local pain, stiffness and sometimes<br />

headaches. The nerves run right through<br />

the muscles. Tension on the muscles causes<br />

pressure on the nerves. As the muscles<br />

shorten, the nerves running through them<br />

have a tendency to both shorten and slide<br />

less well. This causes the nerves to radiate<br />

pain throughout the arm.<br />

Triggerpoints are areas in your muscles,<br />

where a few muscle fibres have contracted<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

in a knot. These knots (the hard and painful originate in your<br />

areas in your muscles felt during massage) neck. Pain in your<br />

the painful areas in<br />

this condition for the last 25 years.<br />

Their experience is:<br />

<br />

• Most of the patients who have had their<br />

pain for less than a year leave this clinic free<br />

This is your muscle’s reaction to of pain (but they have to be very careful to<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Time Honoured Remedy<br />

Supporting Your<br />

Bowel & Digestive<br />

Function Helps<br />

Prevent Disease<br />

Keeping your digestive system<br />

and bowels functioning efficiently<br />

is definitely an important step in<br />

obtaining and maintaining good<br />

long term health.<br />

It is most important to keep the whole<br />

digestive and elimination systems of the<br />

body working efficiently. Many diseases<br />

have been linked with micro-organisms<br />

(virus) or a bacterial component. We know<br />

that when the digestive system and bowel<br />

function are poor we have many more health<br />

problems. These include arthritis, digestive<br />

problems like reflux and stomach pain,<br />

bladder infections, chronic skin conditions<br />

such as eczema, psoriasis and rashes, poor<br />

eyesight, pain and inflammation, tumors<br />

and a weakened immune system just to<br />

name a few.<br />

Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a<br />

highly effective blend of natural herbs to<br />

support the whole digestive system and it<br />

is especially effective at cleansing the lower<br />

bowel and intestinal tract. It is commonly<br />

used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,<br />

digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds<br />

and influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout,<br />

skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis,<br />

urinary infections, liver dysfunction,<br />

Candida, weakened immune function and<br />

for people who want to keep their health as<br />

good as possible.<br />

The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the<br />

production of digestive fluids and bile for<br />

efficient digestion. This alone may help<br />

prevent many diseases as a properly working<br />

digestive system will itself neutralise many<br />

disease causing organisms. LBS II also<br />

stimulates peristaltic action of the colon<br />

effectively cleansing the colon of any<br />

accumulated build-ups of waste material.<br />

It also relaxes abdominal cramping and<br />

spasms, enhances liver function, purifies<br />

the blood, neutralizes acidic conditions,<br />

helps destroy intestinal parasites and<br />

worms, and fights infection.<br />

Keeping your digestive system and<br />

bowels functioning efficiently is definitely<br />

an important step in obtaining and<br />

maintaining good long term health.<br />

According to a country Doctor “D.C.<br />

Jarvis” from Vermont in the USA cider<br />

vinegar and honey (CV & H) can be an<br />

important part of a long healthy life. Dr.<br />

Jarvis noted Vermonters who regularly<br />

consumed cider vinegar and honey had<br />

excellent health with many putting in a<br />

vigorous day’s work on the farm even when<br />

well into their eighties.<br />

Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider<br />

vinegar and honey on arthritis can be<br />

remarkable with many patients reporting<br />

almost total relief after taking a course.<br />

As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found<br />

regular administration of cider vinegar and<br />

honey at the onset of complaints such as the<br />

common cold, sinusitis, asthmatic attacks,<br />

hay fever, and childhood diseases such as<br />

McKenzie Lifestyle Village is in the final<br />

stages of completion. There are still great<br />

sites available and we also have a number<br />

of affordable villas ready for immediate<br />

occupation.<br />

Our beautiful Leisure Centre is available<br />

and the pools, gymnasium and library and<br />

lounge area are in use daily. Outside, the<br />

bowling green is very popular along with<br />

Petanque, Mini-golf and Table Bowls.<br />

The residents enjoy an enviable resort style<br />

lifestyle. It is also surprisingly affordable. A<br />

former Christchurch resident, Judith, says<br />

“We couldn’t have all this for what we are<br />

paying if we were still in Christchurch.”<br />

Another resident, David, says “my wife and<br />

chicken pox and measles, was accompanied<br />

by an improvement in the condition with<br />

symptoms either disappearing, or the<br />

conditions were extremely mild and soon<br />

over.<br />

Apple cider vinegar contains all the<br />

goodness of the apple in a form that is<br />

readily accepted by the body. Scientists<br />

have found over 90 different substances<br />

in ACV, among them 20 important trace<br />

elements, minerals, essential enzymes, a<br />

number of different acids including malic<br />

acid, amino acids and roughage in the form<br />

of potash and pectin. A scientific study at<br />

the Shizuka University in Japan has proven<br />

ACV to have potent antioxidant benefits (It<br />

can destroy free radicals, which are a major<br />

factor in ageing.) and also the ACV can<br />

Geraldine is a great little town with a<br />

very pleasant microclimate. There is plenty<br />

to do in and around the town with art<br />

galleries, theatre and cinema, interesting<br />

shops and boutiques, two museums and a<br />

wide range of good places to eat. For the<br />

more adventurous there are river and forest<br />

walks nearby, opportunities for biking and<br />

a choice of two local golf clubs.<br />

ACV and H is a powerful tonic that<br />

also promotes digestion, assimilation of<br />

nutrients and elimination of waste, and<br />

helps neutralize any toxic substances that<br />

enter the body.<br />

It is important to note not all cider<br />

vinegar is made in the traditional way and<br />

results are likely to prove disappointing<br />

with some other vinegars.<br />

Emma’s back!<br />

THAT’S right folks, Emma Palaamo has returned to<br />

the Richmond Club Bistro, and this time she is<br />

running it!<br />

Emma last worked at the Club when her parents<br />

Bev and Steve Palaamo were running the Bistro and<br />

Restaurant pre-EQ.<br />

Unsure of what she wanted to do when she left<br />

school Emma decided to attend university where she<br />

earned a degree in English and Psychology.<br />

“I’ve wondered if I’d ever use my degree, but I love<br />

being in the kitchen. Cooking’s in my blood. It’s what<br />

I’m used to,” said Emma.<br />

Largely trained by her father, Emma said she was<br />

nervous when she was initially offered running the<br />

Bistro.<br />

“My parents have such a good reputation and I don’t<br />

want to let Dad down. The reaction to my menu and<br />

cooking has been great, and regular members are very<br />

happy to see me back.”<br />

With her first few weeks spent gauging what diners<br />

wanted, Emma is confident she has streamlined the<br />

menu to provide a selection to satisfy everyone.<br />

“I’ve listened to what they want and have taken<br />

heed. by bringing back the old with new. I’m also<br />

doing blackboard specials and two course specials, as<br />

well as introducing a Kids’ menu.”<br />

The Club Bistro is open for LUNCH Tuesday to<br />

Sunday (Brunch), for DINNER Wednesday to Sunday<br />

and is also available for private functions.<br />
