Funding
cut puts
future
projects
in jeopardy
• By Julia Evans
Accredited installers 10yr workmanship guarantee 6 yr warranty
A SLASH in community board
funding will see grants for local
organisations decreased or cut
altogether.
City council head of community
support governance and
partnerships Lester Wolfreys
confirmed there had been a
reduction in funding for the
Papanui-Innes Community Board.
The city council allocated
$402,860 for the 2017/18, which is
an $85,000 reduction from the previous
year, chairwoman Ali Jones
said.
The board said this will affect vulnerable
members of the community,
with many groups anxious about
their future.
“It’s extremely disappointing
. . . we’re doing it tough already,”
chief executive of the Belfast Community
Network Lynda Goodrick
said.
Mrs Goodrick said the network
could not plan for the future at all
because it wasn’t sure if it could
fund all its programmes or would
have to cut some.
“It’s awful. We’re doing the
council’s work for them, we’re
looking after their people and it’s
tough without proper funding,”
she said. •Turn to page 6

WHAT AN election it’s going to
be on Saturday night.
The best and potentially the
closest in many years, and one
which will shape the country’s
future for sometime.
Star Media, publisher of the
Nor’West News, will be following
the election on our website www.
star.kiwi and we’ll have reporters
out on the street and bringing
you latest updates through the
afternoon and into the night.
The Star on Thursday will also
have an in-depth election preview.
The polls clearly show people
have shifted to voting for either
National and Labour and this
could spell doom for many
smaller party politicians who
have made it into Parliament on
the back of MMP.
Indications are voter turnout
will be high and which ever party
mobilises its supporters best on
Saturday will win.

Council takes down signs
But residents
keep fighting
for children’s
road safety
SOLUTION: Labour candidate Duncan Webb and Rachel
Donaldson with the sign that the city council has taken down.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
• By Julia Evans
SIGNS addressing dangerous
driving in St Albans have
been removed – but frustrated
residents say the battle is not
over.
One sign on the fence of 85
Westminster St, which read “St
Albans children matter, slow
down” was taken down last
week, along with several others
in the area around Cranford St.
The removal of the signs was
ordered by the city council after
a four-week investigation found
they did not comply with the
District Plan, city council head
of regulatory compliance Tracey
Weston said.
St Albans resident and mother
Rachel Donaldson made the
signs to address dangerous driving
around St Albans School
after a pupil was clipped by a
car.
She said the city council ordered
them all to be taken down
unless she paid $1500 per sign
for resource consent.
The city council began investigating
the signs after receiving
a complaint.
“The premise of the complaint
is that the sign was offensive . .
. but who could find children’s
safety offensive?” Mrs Donaldson
said.
She said it didn’t seem fair
that one person complaining
about a traffic safety sign caused
them all to be removed, when
the whole community was crying
out for the problem to be
addressed.
“We’re doing our best, but
when a single complaint can
bring all the signs down, it’s a
real shame,” Mrs Donaldson
said.
But she said the campaign to
tackle dangerous driving in St
Albans is far from finished.
In a bid to keep the sign on
the fence, Christchurch Central
Labour candidate and former
lawyer, Duncan Webb, attached
a photo of himself, which he
said made it a political hoarding.
Dr Webb said it was “ridiculous”
that the city council
ordered the sign to be removed.
“I do know how to read the
rules and it’s clearly an election
sign, which is excluded from the
city council’s District Plan,” he
said.
Ms Weston said even after Dr
Webb’s addition, the sign was
still assessed as “non-compliant”
with the District Plan.
Although she would not say
how.
“The parties involved are now
addressing their traffic safety
concerns with the appropriate
part of the city council,” she
said.
But Dr Webb said he’d be
more than happy to help Mrs
Donaldson with any new signs.

NEW SCHOOL SIGNS
Active school signs will be installed
on Paparoa St outside Paparoa
Street School. The signs are a fully
LED design with flashing lights
at the top. They will be the first of
their kind to be installed in the
city.
PLAYGROUND COMPLETE
The $150,000 playground
upgrade at Abberley Park has
been completed. To celebrate, the
community held a ‘mad winter’
picnic and barbecue. A community
planting exercise, supported by the
city council’s park rangers, was
also held.
NEW BUS STOP
Due to a significant number of
requests from the community, the
city council will install a new bus
stop on Briggs Rd, near Birchgrove
Gardens, Mairehau. City council
staff determined that adjacent to
57 Briggs Rd is the most suitable
location for the new stop. Two onstreet
parking spaces will be lost.

Merivale book shop owner
marks the end of an era
Merivale
Paper Plus
has closed
this month,
so owner
Simon Grant
has penned
a goodbye
to the loyal
customers who have
supported the business
over the years
It was with great sadness that
we closed our doors for the final
time on September 10 after being
part of the Merivale Mall family
as a Paper Plus for more than 23
years.
Unfortunately, the mall has
decided not to renew our lease,
and has instead signed up
Whitcoulls in our place.
We are all gutted and really
wanted to stay on and keep the
store locally-owned, but the mall
has decided to go in a different
direction.
We have loved being part of the
community here and I have spent
more than half my life working in
this store.
My mother and father
purchased the Merivale
Bookshop in 1994, making
the big leap to own their own
business and re-brand it into a
Paper Plus.
From there, they worked
hard to build a great store, one
that was unique and we were
enormously proud of.
We have gone through the
highs (a cue the length of the mall
to meet Richie McCaw during his
book launch) and the lows (the
sudden loss of my father in 2014),
the rise and fall of e-books, and
the thousands of earthquakes
and the associated repairs and
clean-ups.
We have enjoyed being part of
the community, donating many
prizes to school fundraisers
and local charities, and the staff
have loved chatting with all our
regular customers. We have also
supported many local authors,
stocking their books and hosting
book launches and signings.
Thank you to everyone who has
shopped with us over the past 23
years.
We will continue to look
for alternative locations in the
area, and will make a big song
and dance should we re-open
elsewhere.
In the meantime, I will relocate
to our other Paper Plus store
in The Hub Hornby along with
a couple of the Merivale staff,
where we will continue to offer
the same great range and service.
Feel free to come in and say ‘hi’
if you are over that way.
Readers respond to an
article about a proposal
by Fendalton residents
to make Rochdale St
‘residents only’. The
attempt to stop drivers
using it as a shortcut was
declined by the city council
Megan Bowie – I think I’ll
make a point of driving down
there now, every chance I get.
The arrogance is strong with this
street.
Janine Hale – How is it a
‘shortcut’ when it is a legal public
road . . . surely it’s just one of
many routes to get to a destination?
Jennie Moreton – Every
nasty comment reflects the bias
of the posters who have made
judgements about the people
living in Rochdale St – probably
without meeting any of them.
For the record, I don’t live there,
I have taken the shortcut down
that street in the past and I don’t
think any public road should be
closed to non-residents.
Daniel Thompson – How
would they police that? They’d
have needed to ask for checkpoints
at both ends of the street.
Then are the enforcers there on
rotating shifts 24/7 or would it be
accessed via some kind of swipe
card?
Stephanie Hagerty – It’s
a street not a private road. You
knew that when you bought
there.
John Bartlett – Head out to
east Christchurch and look at the
state of the roads there. Shocking
and they moan about a bit of
traffic.
Clarissa Douglas – This
street and its residents have a
lot of issues . . . If you don’t like
it move, I’m sure there’s people
out there who would love to live
there and not moan.
Jennie Moreton – What a
lot of nasty comments. If you
don’t ask, you don’t get, so why
shouldn’t they try? Didn’t work
but what’s the harm?
Chelcie Tamaira – I just
find this hilarious. Sorry. Do
they want to be like a Hollywood
gated community? It’s so funny.

insanity gone awry . . . it’s
a public road maintained by the
city council like all the rest with
people’s taxes. And, as has been
already pointed out, how would
they police it and who would be
responsible for enforcing it?
Chrissi Tukaki – If you don’t
like we commoners go and build
a commune out in the country.
Don’t want a funeral home, don’t
want cars. Spare me.
Carolyn Fraser – Don’t want
a funeral home built down their
street and now want the road
solely to themselves. At least that’s
not going to happen.
Pamela Neil – These people
just keep trying to change the
world. I lived in Glandovey Rd
when the neighbours were normal
people.
Hans Steinz – So why not
close the street at both ends? Okay,
“residents” would have to park
around the corner, but it would be
very quiet.
Jonathan Scott – It’s a public
road. Everyone has the legal right
to drive on it.
Helen Young – Who the hell
do they think they are? We are
ratepayers too and should be able
to use all streets in Christchurch
any time we want to.
Maraea Cracknell – I’d love
that to happen to my street too.
But it will never happen.

TWO SISTERS almost broke
down in tears when they met
their WWE wrestling idol,
Dean Ambrose.
Zeinat Alebel, 18 and her
sister Sofiya, 14, would describe
themselves as wrestling
superfans.
They proved that after the
Burnside High School students
lined up from 7am at The
Hub Hornby for the chance to
meet Raw tag-team champion,
Ambrose. “My heart is racing,”
she said.
Zeinat had Ambrose sign her
cellphone, which was now one
of her favourite possessions.
After the 3pm meet and
greet, the teens went to WWE
Live at Horncastle Arena – the
only live wrestling event in the
country.
Zeinat said seeing WWE Live
was seven years in the making.
“Last time we saw them I was
11 and Sofiya was 7.”
But she said they’d both been
watching it on television for as
long as they can remember, if
not longer.

“I’ve been watching since
1999 and I was born in 1999,”
Zeinat said.
She, along with almost 300
other fans, lined up from 7am to
get the wrist bands that would
see them meet Ambrose later in
the day and get his signature.
Zeinat said she and Sofiya
went to The Hub early for the
meet and greet.
“It was so worth it,” she said.

Author set to turn pages in
Australia with second book
• By Julia Evans
A BOOK written in Burnside is
about to cross the Tasman to be
bought and read by Australians.
After a run in book stores
across New Zealand, Jane Hole’s
second work, Talk of Treasure,
will be printed by Melbournebased
Transit Lounge Publishing
next year.
“It’s very exciting,” Mrs Hole
said.
The Wairakei Rd resident, who
writes under the pseudonym
Jane Carswell, took 10 years to
complete her first novel Under the
Huang Jiao Tree.
“It was finally picked up by the
18th publisher,” Mrs Hole said.
But it went on to win the Whitcoulls
Travcom Travel Book of
the Year in 2010.
Now Talk of Treasure is about
that writing experience, which
happened largely at her Burnside
home.
“A lot of it takes place from my
home, it really is a north-west
book,” she said.
It’s a memoir set to encourage
young writers and give readers a
peek at the hard yards which go
into getting a book published,
Mrs Hole said.
“I point out the reality of writing
that no-one told me about.”
It was also a chance to say
thank you to everyone, she said.
“One thing that was very
important was when I wrote the
first book I was so ill-experienced
so many people had to help – my
daughter, publishers, anyone.”
Mrs Hole said she thinks it will
still resonate with an Australian
audience, who will be fascinated
by the different way of life in New
Zealand.
“But the local content won’t

Hole with her second book

put audiences off . . . they’ll see
similarities, too,” she said.
Being published in Melbourne
“the so-called book capital of
Australia” was particularly thrilling.
“My son lives in Australia, so
I have family connections over
there too,” she said.
She is looking forward to hearing
how audiences react.
Mrs Hole worked at Pegasus
Press, shortly after Janet Frame’s
novel Owls Do Cry was published
in 1957.
Since then she has taught piano
and hosted Chinese exchange
students in Burnside.
While she said she still gives
the occasional music lesson, now
Mrs Hole’s time is largely filled by
working with other writers.
“It’s a hub of words on
Wairakei Rd,” she said.
Funding cut concern
•From page 1
Te Ora Hou Otautahi is also
worried about funding its
programmes, manager Jono
Campbell said.
“We’re really, really concerned.
We’ve already had funding
reduced,” he said.
Mr Campbell said the North-
West Collective, which
is a body of community
groups from the area,
already tries to keep
costs down by collaborating
as much as
possible.
But he said even then
they cannot sustain
any funding cuts.
“It really puts the
pressure on,” Mr
Campbell said.
It comes after a change in the
formula the city council uses to
work out how to allocate funding
and a shift in board boundaries,
Mr Wolfreys said.
“This has come about as a
result of a reallocation of community
grants funding between
boards based on a new mechanism
that takes into account
population and relative need.”
The funding allocated to each
board is now based 60 per cent
on population and 40 per cent
equity using census data, he
said.
Ali Jones
But Ms Jones said this method
is flawed.
“In parts of our ward where
the deprivation measure is low,
it is wrong to suggest that the
need there is less where there
could be (other factors) to suggest
there is still a significant
need, not indicated by the deprivation
score,” Ms Jones
said.
Although other
boards saw a reduction
in the amount of
organisations in their
areas when the wards
changed, Papanui-
Innes did not.
Ms Jones said that
did not translate in
reduction to funding.
The city council will
review the funding levels next
year.
Ms Jones said the board
would be “proactively involved”
in that review and would support
funding returning to previous
levels.
“Or even increasing them if
need be,” she said.

Teen’s Hagley Park showpiece
• By Julia Evans
ARTIST RUBY Williams
stood on the workshop floor of
ENI Engineering in Halswell’s
industrial outskirts.
It might not seem like a place
for creating art but the 15-yearold
St Albans resident couldn’t
wipe the smile off her face.
Ruby saw the sculpture she
designed as part of the SCAPE
Public Art season for the first
time.
“It’s perfect. It’s exactly what I
had in mind. Absolutely perfect,”
she said.
The mammoth steel branch,
which will be fixed to a tree in
Hagley Park, was shaped by ENI
engineer Paul Bacon.
It’s not something he gets to do
very often.
Ruby, who attends Villa Maria
College, picked out the “pinkypurple”
shade it will be painted,
saying it represented her personality.
Ruby’s mum Breda said her
“budding artist” had been waiting
eagerly to see the sculpture all
day. She was “so, so proud” of her
daughter.
Ruby won the chance to see
her sketches come to life after
winning the senior section of the
Re:ACTIVATE project.
“I don’t know how to explain
how it feels. It’s just really, really
CREATIVE: Ruby Williams, 15, is all smiles with her steel
sculpture of a tree branch.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
cool to finally see it,” Ruby said.
The branch will be on display
for six weeks during the public art
season from October 7.
It will even feature as a stop on
the public walk, which takes people
on a tour of all the public art
in the city, including pieces from
big names like Antony Gormley.
Ruby said she would be taking
a few more trips through the park
than she usually would just to see
it.
Her design relates to the
concept of memory and involves
recreating a tree’s lost limb out
of metal. “Replacing that branch
with a wire copy resembling the
memory of the limb that used
to be there. The city is similar in
some regards – it fell during the
earthquake and was completely
changed, parts of it were gone but
not forgotten.”
But this is only the beginning
in Ruby’s art career.
The teen said seeing the
branch had given her the drive
to keep chasing her creative
dreams.

Wartime rationing and requisition
Papanui during World
War 2. Part 2, by Murray
Williams chairman of the
Papanui Heritage Group.
SHONA ELLIOTT, née Turton,
was a schoolgirl living in Sails
St during the war, and later she
remembered the tension as the
casualty lists were published in
the newspaper.
The impact of the war became
more personal when the local
grocer’s assistant and a school
friend’s brother were both killed
in action.
Mrs Elliott recalled that she
and her classmates learned to
knit and they produced scarves,
balaclavas and socks of varying
quality for the soldiers of the
New Zealand Division.
New Zealand citizens had to
accept that much of the freedom
they had traditionally expected
had to be severely modified during
the war.
Blackout conditions in the
hours of darkness were enforced
by members of the home guard
and other designated officials.
Private motor vehicles could
be commandeered for army use
for the duration of the war.

firm’s operation – and local, Des
Tomkies, had his motor-cycle
requisitioned.
A comprehensive rationing
system was enforced – sugar,
tea and butter, meat, clothing
and linen were all subject to this
regime.
The system relied on the use
of coupons and this imposed an
extra burden on retailers.
Merle Gregor’s father owned
a grocery shop on the corner
of Blighs and Papanui Rds and
she recalls that as a teenager she
was responsible for counting the
coupons received to reconcile
these with the rationed goods
sold during the week.
Mrs Elliott felt that her mother
managed very well and that in
some respects the depression
years of the early 1930s had
prepared the family to cope with
wartime shortages.
Few families of Mrs Elliott’s
circle of friends owned motor vehicles
and therefore the stringent
rationing of petrol did not affect
them much.
By 1942, the possibility of air
raids created some anxiety but
there is no evidence of a public
shelter being constructed in
Papanui.
There was some public
criticism that Papanui Primary
School had no effective shelter.
The Canterbury Education
Board tried to defuse this
concern by adopting a policy of
‘dispersal’ and arguing that as
the vast majority of pupils lived
within seven minutes of the
school that they could safely be
sent home.
This theory was based on the
assumption that at least seven
minutes warning of impending
raids would be provided.
There is anecdotal evidence
that many Papanui families attempted
to dig trenches in their
back gardens although these
good intentions were often frustrated
by the area’s high water
table.

Don’t fight fire unless
you are sure to succeed
• By Mark Thomas – specialist fire
investigator
I WENT to the fire on Clifton
Hill, in Sumner, which recently
destroyed most of a home.
There were a few things there
that are worth mentioning.
Firstly the occupants were in
an unfamiliar house and once
smoke began to restrict visibility
it was fortunate that one of the
group had familiarised himself
with the route to the back door
and was able to herd most of his
family in the right direction.
Secondly and knowing human
nature, understandably, the
group leader tried to put the fire
out.
It was too advanced at this
stage and all he managed was to
receive very painful burns.
He only evacuated the house
when smoke was too thick to
breathe.
He very nearly didn’t make it.
I was asked later by media how
the fire grew so large so quickly.
There was nothing unusual
about the fire growth here.
Modern furniture, made
of plastics, foams and nylon,
provides a huge reserve of fuel

Using the word fuel is very
appropriate because all of those
materials originate in oil. And
burn accordingly.
Anywhere you stay, home, motel,

there is smoke detection.

Lucy’s goal earns award
• By Julia Evans
ACHIEVING the highest
level of the Duke of
Edinburgh’s Hillary Award
is no easy task.
But at 17-years-old, St
Margaret’s College student
Lucy Adams has already
managed to get the gold
award under her belt
and was the youngest at
this year’s ceremony in
Government House, Wellington.
Lucy said you can start
the programme after
turning 14 – but have to
put in a certain amount
of time before you achieve
the bronze, silver and
finally gold levels of the
award.
So at 14, that’s what she
did. She wanted to start
soon as she could.

award in 2015 and silver in
2016.
But to complete gold, she
said you have to tick off all
five sections of the award
– service, skills, adventurous
journey, physical
recreation and a residential
project.
Lucy volunteered around
the boarding house of
the school, played netball
and tennis, went on a
leadership course at Boyle
River and did a tramp
through the Cass-Lagoon
Saddle track.
“It was really cool to
have met my goal and get
the award before I turned
18,” Lucy said.
Although she said the
effort she put in was exhausting.
“It was a really cool
experience, I did a lot of
things I wouldn’t have otherwise
done,” she said.

Skilled Professionals
offer a range of foot care
treatments
For many people, the skills of
a podiatrist may be something
they think they will never need
to access. In fact, these health
professionals provide a range of
valuable services for that very
hard-working part of our body
– our feet, which can be subject
to a number of health conditions
and discomfort issues.
As Ian Graham of the Papanui
Foot Clinic explains: “Podiatrists
treat foot and ankle problems in
several different ways. This includes
general maintenance such as cutting
toe nails and removing corns and hard
callouses.”
Having a pedicure done in the clean,
sterile environment of the podiatry
clinic is safer than in a mall-based nail
clinic, Ian advises, as the sharing of
nail polishes, for example, can lead to
cross infections in the nails.
As the weather warms up and we
swap our closed-in winter footwear for
strappy sandals and open-toed shoes,
Ian suggests it is an ideal time to have
any hard skin that has developed on
the toes and back of the heels removed,
giving feet a smooth, attractive
appearance.
Ingrowing toenails, which can cause
pain and discomfort, are easily treated
at the Papanui Foot Clinic by Ian and
his fellow podiatrist Anna Brown.
“We offer several treatments for
this, including removing the spike of
nail that’s growing into the toe and
procedures to correct the problem so it
won’t happen again,” Ian says.
The ageing process also affects our
feet, as it does other parts of the body,
and they can start to deteriorate.
Ill-fitting shoes that press on the
wrong areas can make this worse. The
Papanui Foot Clinic podiatrists can
help by explaining to patients how the
foot functions and moves, and treating
problems such as fallen and collapsing
arches.
They also offer treatment for
diabetics, who have particular
problems with their feet such as loss of
circulation and loss of feeling.
“It’s important for diabetics to keep
their feet in good order with regular
care,” Ian says.
Children often experience foot
problems, particularly when they
change from one sport to another.
Painful heels, for example, are quite
common and these can be treated with
orthotic support.
“We also advise on the right footwear
for children, and help them with
stretching programmes to relieve tight
muscles,” Ian says.
The Papanui Foot Clinic carries the
Dr Comfort footwear range for men
and women. These are wider and
deeper than standard footwear and are
designed for people that have trouble
finding shoes to fit.
“These have been very successful for
patients,” Ian says.
The Papanui Foot Clinic is located
at 448 Papanui Road, phone 352
6400. It is open Monday to Friday,
9am-5.30pm with evening clinics on
Tuesdays and Thursday till 7.30pm.

Circles
Circles Yelling and singing in the

One of the best nights of my life,
spent with boys I know and love.
Feeling we could take on the

Making the glorious pilgrimage

night.
I’m riding Andre’s brother’s
bike. He rode it when he was eight
years old.
The wind caresses my grown-out
shaggy hair, making my black
funeral scarf fly behind.
The scarf gets caught on my
eyes, leaving me for a few seconds
blind.
The three of us make a grand
trio. We never plan what we get
up to on these nights.
No girls, no drama, no fights.
Only unconsciously finding trouble.
On this particular night, the
cheap, greasy meal tasted better
than ever.
The way back, we’re stopped by
a pair of cops, to fine us for not
wearing helmets.
Andre utilizes his clever tongue,
pulling the funeral card, telling
them of the loss of our fourth
companion.
The wolves decide to leave us
troublesome sheep for today, in
search of an easier meal.
We arrive home and return the
bikes to their assigned spots in
Andre’s garage.
The floor felt nice that night,
sleep coming easy that we’d had a
grand night.
Creating iconic stories to tell our
grandchildren.
It’s unintentional I swear, it

SUMS: Benjamin Frazer, Jaymee Chen, Xavier Dickason and
Tobet Glithero correctly answered all questions at Cantamath.
THE NEW rockstars of St
Andrew’s College don’t wear
leather jackets or ripped jeans.
But they know their way
around a calculator.
The college’s year 10 Cantamath
team - Jaymee Chen,
Benjamin Frazer, Xavier Dickason
and Tobet Glithero - won
themselves a “golden ticket” at
the 46th Cantamath competition.
The team won the ticket after
they received a perfect score,
100 points, and answered all the
maths questions correctly.
Their teacher, Ben Hilliam, said
the students worked very hard
towards their goal, and to win
Cantamath has been a long held
aspiration.
“At lunchtime the week before
Cantamath, all teams from year
7 to 10 competed against each
other in to simulate the intense
atmosphere at Cantamath to
ensure our teams were not overwhelmed
at the competition,” Mr
Hilliam said.
It comes off the back of more
mathematic success.
A group of year 12 students,
Russell Boey, Velia Men, Zachary
Scheiwe and Bryson Chen beat
out 11 other schools to win the
Same Day Reline &

all questions correctly
and beat Christ’s College and
Burnside High School, whose
teams have dominated the senior
competition.
The college last won the competition
in 2001.

as a musically-talented

Pre-schoolers’ imagination takes flight
PRE-SCHOOLERS’ imaginations
took flight while making rockets
with older students.
Rangi Ruru Preschool children
joined a year 10 technology class
from the girls’ school to design and
build a 3D rocket.
Pre-school centre manager Linda
Scanlan said the engagement and
excitement was palpable among the
children while they worked alongside
the girls.
“The negotiation, discussion, collaboration
and laughter really was a
joy to observe and a true reflection
of our ‘share the joy of childhood’
belief,” Mrs Scanlan said.
It all started with the pre-schoolers
working on rocket drawings,
exploring their thoughts on what a
rocket might look like.
The next day they went over to
the school and began working
with the “big girls”, transcribing
their ideas down on a larger piece
of paper and then into a computer
programme in which the older
girls could construct replicas of the
pictures.
“It’s about the natural curiosity
being enabled and encouraged,”
Mrs Scanlan said.
The year 10 girls will now begin
the process of transferring this information
onto their programming
software in order to create a 3D
printed rocket model for each of the
children involved.
TAKE FLIGHT: Pre-schoolers’ rockets will be brought to life
by Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students.
INTERACTING: Children from Fairleigh Kindergarten learning

BUGSY THE greyhound

Richard and Claire, from the

to teach children about how to

The children were taught a
song to remember the five most
important rule – food and water,
shelter, love, health care and
exercise.
The children collected pet food
and gold coin donations, which
they gave to the SPCA.

House School turned an empty
lot in the central city into a popup
roller-skating rink.
The Wonder Wheels event was
supported by urban regeneration
initiative Gap Filler.
Selwyn House pupils tried out
roller-skating at the site before
members of the public and business
mentors were invited to join
in. The school has been working
with Gap Filler as part of its
education programme.
Selwyn House business development
and marketing manager
Jennifer Shepherd said the girls
involved in the project are only
10 and 11-years-old.
“It is amazing to see a group
of young girls take an interest in
adding life back into a city which
was badly damaged when they
were only two and three years of
age,” she said
FUN: Pupils are helping to make the central city a more
vibrant place to visit.
Central city lot turned into skate rink
Gap Filler learning facilitator
Sally Airey said this kind of
learning experience gave pupils
the chance to make a real contribution
to the city and helped
make it a more vibrant place to
live. “We hope that this event
encourages others to use this and
other vacant sites in creative and
fun ways.”
ASSIST: Some pupils had not
had the chance to roller-skate
before.
New reverend
moves into
rebuilt Merivale
church vicarage
• By Julia Evans
THE FIRST step in a historic
Merivale church rebuild is complete.
The vicarage of the All Souls’
Anglican Parish of Merivale St
Albans, a combination of the former
St Mary’s Anglican Church in
Merivale and St Matthew’s Anglican
Church from St Albans, has been
opened and blessed.
Interim priest-in-charge, Reverend
Megan Herles-Mooar, has
moved into the new vicarage with
her family.
Construction began on the new
church in April at the site of the
former St Mary’s Anglican Church
on the corner of Papanui Rd and
Church Lane.
The church building is set to
open in mid-2018. The Warren and
Mahoney designed building will include
a specially-commissioned circular
chapel which, unlike St Mary’s
previous gothic structure, will flood
the new church with natural light.
It will include a memorial window
from St Matthew’s and stained glass
windows saved from St Mary’s.
For the last six years, the two
congregations have worshipped
together at St Margaret’s College
auditorium.

Papanui boxer takes out
super heavyweight title
• By Andrew King
Discover this
unique Emporium
NORTH-west fighters
had a great showing at
the New Zealand Boxing
Championships last week,
bringing home four titles
from five categories.
Papanui Boxing Club’s
Sam Watt (right), 25,
won the A.B.A Trophy
after winning the 91-plus
kilogram elite super heavy
title, and Ryan Entese, 26,
won The Arty Beban Memorial
Trophy after winning
the under-52kg elite
title at the tournament in
Rotorua from Monday to
Friday last week.
Watt added to his other
three New Zealand titles,
but said he can definitely
improve and is looking
forward to more ring time.
“It is always great to
travel with Canterbury
and we set the standard
for other teams by setting
a high standard,” he said.
Redwood Boxing Club’s
Rendz Remaneses, 25, won
the under-56kg elite title,
and Kaelan Boyce, 18, won
the under-56kg youth title.
Riverside Boxing Club’s
Sophie Mullally, 16, lost
the semi-final of the under-57kg
junior category
and said, regardless of the
result, it was fun.
Canterbury Boxing Association
team manager
Holly Sullivan said it was
one of the “greenest”
teams they have taken to
the national championships
in quite a while, but
in spite of that the team
was awarded the Malcolm
Treston Shield for the
most wins at the competition.
“They have all had a
really good run in spite of
how fresh they are. Some
have come up against really
good fighters, so it is
pretty awesome they have
done as well as they have,”
she said.
Papanui Boxing Club
coaching stalwart Phil
Shatford was also honoured
at the tournament
with a life membership of
the New Zealand Boxing
Coaches Association for
his 20 years of service to
the sport.
Other Canterbury
fighters who won titles:
Leon Gibson, 13,
Waikuku Boxing Club,
under-36kg cadet; Izyah
Hesp, 12, Smiling Tigers
Boxing Club, under-50kg
cadet; Daniel Meehan,
14, Smiling Tigers Boxing
Club, under 57kg cadet;
Tyler Rodgers, 22, Burnham
Boxing Club, 80-plus
kilogram elite female
champion; Sunny Teki-
Clark, 28, Bells Boxing
Gym, under-81kg elite.

GREAT food
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA
WITH CRUMBED
EGGPLANT
Ingredients
1 Eggplant, sliced into 1cm
rounds
2 Eggs, lightly whisked and
seasoned
1 cup Breadcrumbs
¼ cup Chopped fresh herbs, e.g.
parsley or chives
1 bottle Oil, enough for cooking
eggplant
2 cups Tomatoes, sliced or
chopped
2 whole Mozzarella cheese
1 cup Basil leaves
1 drizzle Lemon-infused olive
oil, to serve
Directions
Firstly crumb the eggplant. Dip
into seasoned egg, then roll into
the breadcrumbs and parsley
combined in another bowl. Set
aside in the fridge until ready to
cook.
Into a frying pan pour a little
oil. Fry the eggplant on a medium
heat to ensure they cook
right through, turning once to
brown both sides.
Onto a platter, place the eggplant,
tomatoes, torn mozzarella,
basil and salt and pepper. Drizzle
over the lemon infused olive oil
then serve.
MOZZARELLA AND PESTO
SCHNITZEL PARCELS
Ingredients
1 Salt & freshly ground pepper,
to season
8 slices Beef schnitzel
250g Mozzarella cheese, sliced
¼ cup Basil pesto
1 Tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Season schnitzel with salt
and pepper and lay on a work
surface. Arrange two slices of
mozzarella on one half of each
schnitzel and top each with a
heaped teaspoon of pesto.
Fold the empty side of each
schnitzel over to cover the filling
and secure by threading
two toothpicks through each
schnitzel parcel. Heat a non-stick
frying pan, add a film of oil and
place schnitzel parcels in the
pan. Cook over a medium heat
for 2 to 3min on each side, or
until browned on both sides and
cheese has melted.
SWEET ORANGE, DATE AND
MINT SALAD
Ingredients
½ cup Freshly squeezed orange
juice
1 Lemon
3 Tbsp Honey, mild
4 Navel oranges
3 Mint leaves
8 Dates, moist
2 tsp Orange blossom water,
optional
Directions
Put the juices (orange and
juice of one lemon) and honey
into a small pot and gently bring
to the boil. Simmer until reduced
by a third. Cool.
Place an orange on a board
and use a sharp serrated knife
to cut a slice off each end. Stand
the orange on one end and cut
off all the rind and pith. Lay the
orange on its side and cut into
thin slices. Place the slices in a
shallow bowl. Repeat with the
remaining oranges, laying the
mint leaves among the orange
slices.
Stone the dates and cut into
chunks. Pile on top of the orange
slices. Add the optional orange
blossom water to the syrup and
pour over the salad. If possible,
set aside for an hour before
serving.

Ensuring a safe work place
Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe
work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the
wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that
in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,
but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or
on to the sports field?
not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place
can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators
does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance
service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid
course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.
take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high
risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability
to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course
of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium
risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a
spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight
hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and
26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,
NOR’WEST NEWS
hypothermia and poisonings.
The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in
fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most
common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children
are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in
australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents
or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far
behind those in the workplace.
The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard
6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk
environments. This course covers many of the skills required to
deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result
in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes
such as motor vehicle accidents.
if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask
your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the
course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.
Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your
location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is
up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where
it is located.

HEALTH & BEAUTY
New branding,
new products
for family-run
health food co
The family-owned and locally operated
New Zealand Health Food Company
(NZHF) has seen steady growth since its
launch in 1988.
The company was founded by Rob
Haines as a way to introduce indigenous
products and nutritious ingredients
to New Zealand and the rest of the
world. He began creating product
lines that took advantage of New
Zealand’s diverse landscape and
pristine ocean waters, including two
collections of natural supplements,
Kiwi Natural Health and New Zealand
Health Food. These were followed by
KNH, another natural supplement line,
along with Manuka South, which includes
products that focus on the healing powers
of honey.
Now NZHF is introducing some new
products – including a long-awaited
new line of Manuka honey – and also
rebranding itself to reaffirm its place
as one of the country’s most popular
providers of supplements, super foods and
skincare.
The rebranding is designed to reflect
the growth NZHF has experienced since
its inception, with the company’s mission
being to continue providing a one-stop
shop for health-focused, high-quality
products including supplements, super
foods, skincare products, sports nutrition
and weight management, as well as
essential oils.
Many are produced using locally
sourced ingredients, with the company’s
exports helping to introduce the rest of
the world to the health benefits offered by
the nutrient-dense offerings that are part
of New Zealand’s diverse landscape.
The centrepiece of NZHF’s
rebranding efforts is a new
logo, which is an updated, more
contemporary version of the
company’s original lotus flower.
The rebranding also includes
an updated, easier to navigate
website that will not only include
current tools such as a chat box and links
to social media, but also new features
and a design that will make it easier for
customers to find the right products to
reach their optimum health goals.
Over the three decades that NZHF
has been in operation, it has remained
privately owned and locally operated. Rob
Haines, along with his son, two daughters
and son-in-law, are all an integral part
of the business and strive to provide
quality products at an affordable price, so
that health and wellness are available to
everyone.
Both online and at the retail store,
they and their knowledgeable staff are
committed to helping customers be the
best they can be, in mind, body and
spirit. And from Friday September 15 to
Monday, September 25, NZHF is having a
sale, offering some great specials for their
customers.
For more information about New
Zealand Health Food Company, visit
www.nzhealthfood.com or call at the
retail store, 215 Woolridge Road,
Christchurch, which offers an excellent
customer loyalty programme. Opening
hours are Monday to Friday 9am-
5.30pm and Saturday 10am-4pm.

New research on Gingko
Biloba excites researchers!
GO-Advanced
Omega-PC
For decades scientists believed brain
damage with age, after a stroke or injury
was irreversible and brain neurons could
not be repaired. In more recent times, new
research has shown that neurons can grow
back with the right conditions and that a
special extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761
or TEBONIN) has been clinically found to
assist in this. The implications for stroke
recovery are obvious, but researchers also
know many of us suffer from undetected
“micro-strokes” that over a period of time
slowly reduce our cognitive function.
TEBONIN is prescribed worldwide as a
natural supportive agent for a healthy brain
and cognitive function. It supports healthy
mental performance, concentration, focus,
alertness, motor function and to help
with many conditions including tinnitus
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves
BOOST BRAIN
PERFORMANCE UP TO 30%
TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets
being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60
controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent
efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30
years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance.
Studies on TEBONIN Show:
- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement
in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall.
- Reduces errors made & mental stress.
- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore
brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke.
- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal
balance.
- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body.
- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels.
- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light.
micro-circulation and helps the blood flow
reach those critical places it needs to get to.
It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes the
red blood cells more pliable and capillary
walls more flexible.
TEBONIN is one of the most widely
studied and researched herbal products in
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba
extract manufactured via a patented multistep
extraction process. Each small tablet
contains a highly concentrated 50:1 extract
to give you a therapeutic clinical dose
without having to take a large amount of
the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba products on
the market, and tested by a major medical
journal, only TEBONIN passed all five of the
test requirements. Ten brands didn’t meet
any requirements and the rest didn’t pass
more than three out of five requirements.
TEBONIN is the only Gingko biloba
extract shown to activate all areas of the
brain and is considered the gold standard
in Gingko. TEBONIN has been trusted by
millions of consumers worldwide for over
30 years with more than 8,000,000 tablets
consumed each day.
TEBONIN and further information

Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural

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
contain Omega-3 in a triglyceride & phospholipid form but until recently the phospholipid form was lost due to the
manufacturing process. GO OMEGA-PC is produced using a new more natural cold extraction process that better
preserves the natural nutrient profile found in fish. Studies show GO OMEGA-PC offers superior absorption with
increased omega-3 fatty acids in organs giving the potential for more health benefits.
GO-ADVANCED OMEGA-PC OFFERS:
• Superior absorption of vital Omega-3, as
shown in research
• Advanced new cold extraction better

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
through giving the potential for more
health benefits.
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

Brighton, phone 388 5757. We are always

Kids love CASPA!
A child who’s ‘a
little different’
Children who are just ‘a little different’ – perhaps they’re
clumsy, have difficulty writing or tying shoelaces, or
prone to ‘meltdowns’, and struggle to fit in.
To interpret and function in the world
we need to accurately process information
from our environment.
Some children’s nervous systems
may receive, sort and use information
inaccurately (sensory processing) causing
them to either under or over reaction to
a sensation, or actively seek or avoid a
sensation.
This may cause distress for the
child, family and teachers,
as coping with everyday
experiences like
noisy classrooms,
the feel of fabric,
or moving in a
coordinated way
may present huge
challenges. It can
influence behaviour
and interfere with
learning, doing
everyday activities or
simply fitting in.
No child is the
same, each have
their own individual
difficulties.
Therapy Professionals Therapists
may be able to help improve the life
of these children and those around
them. Contact us at 3775280 or
www.therapyprofessionals.co.nz.
CASPA (Creative After School
Programmed Activities) incorporating
PAPA JACKS offers children the
opportunity to be creative, make new
friends and try new experiences all within a
safe, nurturing environment. CASPA offers
working parents an affordable after school
and school holiday programme that their
kids just love!
CASPA attributes its success to the
variety of activities on offer as well as the
convenience and affordability for parents.
CASPA kids enjoy an exciting range of
activities including sports, music, games,
drama, arts and craft as well as fun trips.
Previous themes and activities have included
a Karaoke Dance Party, CASPA Fear Factor,
Healthy Art, Out of Africa and hundreds of
other amazing themes/activities!
CASPA parents enjoy peace of mind,
knowing their kids are safe and enjoying
the benefits of a quality after school
programme. Some parents and caregivers
also enjoy government subsidies for
CASPA. CASPA is Child Youth and Family
approved for the OSCAR Subsidy and in
some circumstances, the full CASPA fee
will be covered by the subsidy.
