BEAUTIFYING: Artist Maxine Burney turning a Chorus communication box into a work of art.<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A CHORUS communication box<br />
has become the latest canvas for<br />
a Bishopdale artist.<br />
Armed with a paintbrush,<br />
palette and bright paint Maxine<br />
Burney has turned the boring<br />
green power box into the talking<br />
point of Staines St.<br />
Mrs Burney came up with the<br />
idea after the box, outside her<br />
neighbour’s house, was tagged<br />
and the graffiti wasn’t removed.<br />
“I asked Chorus for approval<br />
to paint the box and sent them a<br />
plan, it took a couple of months<br />
but they finally agreed,” she said.<br />
Although since she was<br />
formally commissioned by the<br />
power company, Burney said<br />

plead with<br />

to change<br />
Cranford St<br />
plans<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
BUSINESSES ON Cranford St<br />
are pleading with the city council<br />
to change the Northern Arterial<br />
designs or they will have to shut<br />
up shop.<br />
“I’ve told them they’ll have to<br />
buy our business . . . we’ll have to<br />
shut our doors, that’s where it’s<br />
heading,” said Keith Wayman,<br />
who owns Small World Preschool<br />
and Nursery with his wife Sue.<br />
The upgrade will see Cranford St<br />
widened to four lanes.<br />
Mr Wayman says businesses on<br />
the street will struggle if the city<br />
council removes car parking and<br />
does not include U-turning bays.<br />
Mr Wayman has worked with<br />
the city council to include U-<br />
turning bays to maintain access<br />
to businesses along the stretch<br />
between McFaddens Rd and the<br />
rural zone. “We just wanted turning<br />
bays down the end,” he said.<br />
City council manager planning<br />
and delivery transport Lynette<br />
Ellis said the city council is still<br />
working on the final design.<br />
“The design team is currently<br />
engaging with affected stakeholders<br />
and the final design is yet to<br />
be confirmed,” she said.<br />

Bid to fix Mairehau’s crash corner<br />
Residents fear<br />
next smash<br />
will be fatal<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
RESIDENTS ON a Mairehau<br />
street believe it’s only a matter of<br />
time before a child is seriously<br />
hurt following a number of<br />
crashes at one of its corners.<br />
Residents between 59 and 65<br />
Glenfield Cres have seen plenty<br />
of people misjudge the corner<br />
outside their homes. The latest<br />
incident put a man in hospital<br />
with serious injuries after he hit<br />
a parked vehicle in a driveway on<br />
<strong>September</strong> 13.<br />
He had to be cut from the<br />
vehicle by firefighters and<br />
resident Dave Parson’s work<br />
vehicle was badly damaged.<br />
Bob Autridge, who has lived<br />
on the street for the past 16<br />
years, said something needs to<br />
be done.<br />
“We need a bloody great big<br />
sign and some speed bumps put<br />
in,” he said. “It is only a matter<br />
of time before some kid on the<br />
footpath gets it.”<br />
City council transport<br />
operations manager Aaron<br />
Haymes said a report on the<br />
FED UP: Glenfield Cres residents Neville Amor (left) and Bob<br />
Autridge have seen numerous crashes on the corner outside<br />
their properties.<br />
PHOTOS: ANDREW KING<br />
latest crash had been received<br />
from a resident. City council<br />
staff are investigating some “lowcost<br />
interventions to make the<br />
bends more conspicuous”.<br />
Installing two speed bumps<br />
would cost about $50,000 but Mr<br />
Haymes said, at the present time,<br />
traffic calming initiatives were<br />
not a high-priority and funding<br />
was not available for these types<br />
of schemes.<br />
Mr Autridge asked the<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board last year to paint yellow<br />
lines around the corner to<br />
improve visibility, which they<br />
did in January.<br />
Residents say the lines were a<br />
good start, but more needs to be<br />
done.<br />
In June, a woman failed to take<br />
the corner and ended up on the<br />
front lawn of the property next<br />
‘It is only a matter of<br />
time before some kid on<br />
the footpath gets it’<br />
– Bob Autridge<br />
BAD CORNER: A vehicle<br />
hit the kerb on <strong>September</strong><br />
13 and smashed into Dave<br />
Parson’s vehicle on his<br />
driveway.<br />
door to resident Neville Amor’s<br />
house.<br />
Before that crash, he said<br />
another person had actually hit<br />
the power pole.<br />
In 2012, two men in a “soupedup<br />
Subaru” came around the<br />
corner and smashed into a<br />
container on Mr Amor’s front<br />
lawn.<br />
“They moved the container<br />
about 20cm, so they must have<br />
hit it quite hard,” he said.<br />
In Brief<br />
TURF UPGRADES<br />
Westminster Park turf is set to be<br />
upgraded by the city council. But<br />
first it is working on the drainage in<br />
the park as part of a city-wide flood<br />
remediation effort. The city council<br />
said the work will need to be<br />
prioritised ahead of any sports field<br />
renewal. •St Albans Park delays,<br />

Testimonials:<br />
Doug Garlick<br />
of Westport has been a<br />
client of Greg's since the<br />
late 1990's. Doug's<br />
hearing loss is mainly<br />
work related and has<br />
been deteriorating over<br />
the years. "I have tried<br />
many hearing aids over<br />
the years but I am totally<br />
sold on my present<br />
hearing aids. They are the<br />
best yet and you hardly<br />
know you are wearing<br />
them. I hear sounds I<br />
have not heard for many<br />
years" says Doug. Doug<br />
found the service<br />
"fantastic" and "the whole<br />
process and follow-ups<br />
were excellent, friendly,<br />
and informative."<br />
Les Singer of Hokitika is<br />
another very satisfied<br />
client since 1995. Les lost<br />
his hearing many years<br />
ago and has worn a<br />
number of hearing aids<br />
over the years with each<br />
model better than the<br />
previous one. Wearing<br />
hearing aids helps Les<br />
communicate and<br />
understand<br />
conversations, particularly<br />
with his wife, family, and<br />
grandchildren. Hearing<br />
aids has improved quality<br />
of life and reduced stress<br />
for all concerned. Les is<br />
very happy with the<br />
excellent service provided<br />
Clinic.

Traffic danger for children<br />
St Albans<br />
resident<br />
and mother<br />
Rachel<br />
Donaldson<br />
writes about<br />
the danger<br />
traffic in the<br />
suburb is putting children in<br />
FOR THE last five years I have<br />
walked my children to and from<br />
school but I never meant to<br />
continue escorting them.<br />
After a certain age, once they<br />
were clear on stopping, looking and<br />
listening, I felt confident that like<br />
my own childhood, I would just<br />
say goodbye to them at the door<br />
and they would go without me.<br />
The busiest road that they have<br />
to cross is considered the “gold<br />
standard” of intersections.<br />
It is a signal operated intersection<br />
at the junction of Cranford<br />
and Berwick Sts in St Albans. The<br />
green man tells you when to cross<br />
accompanied by a loud buzzer.<br />
We all know them.<br />
However, for the last five years<br />
I have watched cars run the<br />
red lights with a frequency that<br />
increases every week.<br />
Some days cars will drive<br />
through the red light at this<br />
intersection at every single light<br />
change.<br />
In the last six months, I have<br />
seen a child clipped by the wing<br />
mirror of a car that crossed<br />
through the intersection while<br />
the green man was going and this<br />
was the tipping point.<br />
My road safety advice to my<br />
children has changed from “waiting<br />
for the green man” to “even<br />
when the green man flashes up<br />
and the buzzer is going, always<br />
double check that someone isn’t<br />
going to come through anyway<br />
and stand back against the fence<br />
while waiting to cross due the<br />
phenomenal speed that cars are<br />
travelling at.”<br />
I have no confidence that drivers<br />
will obey the road rules when<br />
they see schoolchildren crossing<br />
at an intersection where there is a<br />
very clear stop/go signal.<br />
Instead, I have taught my children<br />
to be the second-guessers, to<br />
be the defensive pedestrians, not<br />
to expect that an adult driving<br />
a car will have more road sense<br />
than them, a seven and a nineyear-old.<br />
This selfish driving behaviour<br />
led to my getting signs made and<br />
put up – not only at the Cranford<br />
and Berwick Sts intersection but<br />
at the other major intersection<br />
that is used by St Albans School<br />
children, the Cranford and Westminster<br />
Sts intersection.<br />
This crossing not only meets<br />
the “gold standard” of intersections<br />
but St Albans School, for<br />
the last eight years, has paid<br />
(from their own, extremely<br />
limited education budget) a lady<br />
to monitor and guide children<br />
through the intersection due to<br />
the sheer number of red lightrunners<br />
that drive this section of<br />
road every single day.<br />
And still St Albans residents<br />
and school parents wait for the<br />
city council that moves at glacial<br />
speed to do something about the<br />
lack of signage along Cranford St<br />
to let drivers know that over 600<br />
children go to St Albans school<br />
and use this road to get home<br />
every day.<br />
That in our suburb there are<br />
almost 1000 children on the<br />
move.<br />
As I watch the Northern Corridor<br />
inching closer and closer to<br />
completion and see the impact<br />
that increased traffic flows are going<br />
to have on pedestrians along<br />
Cranford St, I know that I will be<br />
walking my kids to school and<br />
back for the foreseeable future.<br />
Readers also respond<br />
to the article about city<br />
council ordering that<br />
the signs discouraging<br />
dangerous driving in St<br />
Albans be taken down<br />
Ray Derry – Good on Duncan<br />
Webb for supporting Rachel<br />
Donaldson and her signage. Here<br />
is a member of the public trying<br />
to protect people from speeding<br />
drivers and the city council go<br />
the opposite way and order the<br />
removal of the signs. The city<br />
council and the complainant<br />
need to get some common sense.<br />
Allan Visser – I would like to<br />
voice my view which is this: I believe<br />
the city council was wrong<br />
in taking the “St Albans children<br />
matter slow down” signs. I am<br />
so angry that it has done this<br />
as I think they are great signs,<br />
DANGER:<br />
Rachel<br />
Donaldson<br />
made signs<br />
to address<br />
speeding<br />
and<br />
dangerous<br />
driving in<br />
St Albans.<br />
and I am sure that drivers have<br />
taken notice of them. The biggest<br />
reason these signs were put up is<br />
there is no lights or signs to indicate<br />
to drivers to slow down to<br />
30km/h as there is a school in the<br />
area. Sure there is English Park<br />
there but a lot of schoolchildren<br />
walk through its car park to get<br />
to Cranford St and then to get<br />
home. This is something important<br />
the city council should be<br />
doing something about, therefore<br />
those signs were a great incentive.<br />
Besides Cranford St is very busy<br />
at the time when children come<br />
out of school, just like rush hour.<br />
So if you ask me, I think the city<br />
council wants the children to be<br />
killed. It seems the city council<br />
doesn’t care about life, instead<br />
it only cares about money. I<br />
say: “Let us forget money, and<br />
concentrate on saving lives.” That<br />
should be on the top of its list.<br />

Readers respond to the<br />
article about a stoush<br />
between Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board<br />
member John Stringer<br />
(right) and city councillor<br />
Aaron Keown over the<br />
importance of upgrades to<br />
the Gardiners, Breens and<br />
Harewood Rds intersection<br />
Glenda Hicks – I am one if<br />
those who has contacted Aaron<br />
Keown some time ago. I wait<br />
daily for some evidence of a city<br />
council response. I live off Gardiners<br />
Rd between Harewood<br />
and Sawyers Arms Rds. I use the<br />
intersection daily. Until earlier<br />
this year, I commuted to Lincoln<br />
via Johns Rd. It is utter nonsense<br />
for John Stringer to opine that<br />
the well-designed new roundabout<br />
arrangement on Johns Rd<br />
is more dangerous than having<br />
to cross the four lanes on Harewood,<br />
Gardiners and Breens Rds<br />
corner with no assistance whatsoever.<br />
Frustration here causes<br />
people to take risks or have to<br />
turn left and take the nearest U-<br />
turn to get onto the other side.<br />
Mr Keown is undoubtedly representing<br />
the interests of his area.<br />
Mr Stringer is not, and should<br />
not interfere. Anything that the<br />
local media can do to hasten action<br />
on this traffic hazard would<br />
be appreciated.<br />
Graeme Wood – We live<br />
not far from the Harewood,<br />
Breens, Gardiners Rds intersection<br />
and try to avoid most turns<br />
from this dangerous intersection.<br />
I would suggest the powers<br />
to be place temporary cameras<br />
to see what happens at this site.<br />
The police would have a field day<br />
at the amount of motorists that<br />
fail to stop at the compulsory<br />
stop signs, and the drivers who<br />
play Russian roulette to get from<br />
Breens to Gardiners and vice<br />
versa (four lanes, two each way).<br />
Clare reilly - DanCe of life<br />
If the city council can put traffic<br />
lights on Sawyers Arms Rd outside<br />
Northlands Shopping Centre,<br />
then they should get their<br />
priorities right an install them at<br />
Harewood, Breens and Gardiners<br />
Rds. The Harewood/Russley<br />
roundabout flows very well and<br />
controls major traffic. Maybe Mr<br />
Stringer (above) has a night job<br />
and sleeps during the day and<br />
doesn’t see what goes on?<br />
Phil Millar – So where does<br />
this John Stringer live? I bet<br />
it’s not near the intersection. I<br />
challenge him to come down to<br />
this intersection any working<br />
day of the week and spend two<br />
hours in the morning from<br />
7-9am and from 3-6pm. It is<br />
obvious that he has an eyesight<br />
problem or is in denial about<br />
the safety of this intersection.<br />
Where was he when Aaron<br />
Keown had the meeting on the<br />
corner earlier in the year?<br />
In Clare Reilly’s new exhibition, ‘Dance of Life’ she expresses the resilience and tenacity to keep finding<br />
joy and beauty in the natural surroundings. Especially in the hard times, when confronted by the big<br />
challenges in life, that we must all pass through at some stage.<br />
There are events, such as the death of a loved one, that can turn our lives upside down. Finding strength<br />
in nature can help us to stay connected and grounded and bring a sense of being part of the dance of life.<br />
These paintings are meditations on the quiet moments, where we can<br />
step away from everyday stress and become fully present and find a<br />
sense of peace.<br />
They are an invitation to breathe in the moment and dance with life.<br />

But in August a notice turned<br />
up in letter boxes, which showed<br />
on-street parking being lost, as<br />
well as a shared footpath and<br />
cycleway going past.<br />
The notice stated<br />
work was going to<br />
start the next month<br />
and Mr Wayman said<br />
he was not aware any<br />
of this was happening.<br />
“I mentioned it to<br />
[other businesses]<br />
and they didn’t know<br />
anything either,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Wayman has<br />
since been battling<br />
the city council over lack of<br />
consultation, with the support of<br />
other businesses, including the<br />
Cranford Ale House.<br />
Ms Ellis said consultation was<br />
under taken through the “notice<br />
of requirement” process.<br />
The business owners concerns<br />
do not stop there.<br />
Mr Wayman said they’re very<br />
worried congestion in the area is<br />
going to increase exponentially.<br />

Apology to residents over park repair<br />
$900k revamp<br />
set to start in<br />
November<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ST ALBANS residents who<br />
have been unable to use their<br />
neighbourhood park for almost<br />
seven years have received an<br />
apology.<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board has said sorry for<br />
the significant delays to the turf<br />
renewal and pavilion rebuild,<br />
which has seen the condition<br />
of St Albans Park deteriorate<br />
since the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
Although the park’s $900,000<br />
revamp is set to start in November,<br />
board chairwoman Ali<br />
Jones said the delay has been far<br />
too long and the community<br />
deserved an apology.<br />
Nearby residents said the<br />
renewal couldn’t come soon<br />
enough.<br />
Information about the work<br />
schedule and an apology has<br />
been sent to the St Albans Residents’<br />
Association for the entire<br />
community.<br />
Association co-chairwoman<br />
Emma Twaddell said it will be<br />
good to see the work finally<br />
begin.<br />
“It’s great to hear that it’s<br />
finally happening, but it is a<br />
shame it’s taken so long because<br />
it’s such a well-used community<br />
space,” she said. Sports groups<br />
which use the park have not<br />
been able to play a home game<br />
this season because the fields are<br />
in such poor condition. And the<br />
playground fills with water after<br />
rain.<br />
Ms Jones said there were no<br />
excuses for the delay.<br />
But it had been caused by a<br />
lack of funding and city council<br />
earthquake insurance settlement<br />
issues.<br />
“As soon we saw the concerns<br />
being voiced, saying there were<br />
no timelines for the St Albans<br />
Park renewal pavilion rebuild,<br />
we immediately sought information<br />
and confirmation from<br />
city council staff,” Ms Jones said.<br />
The timeline for the park<br />
renewal was brought forward<br />
in the city council’s Long Term<br />
Plan after a the community<br />
board voiced its concerns.<br />
City council staff are currently<br />
working alongside groups from<br />
the area to come up with design<br />

concepts which will go back out<br />
to the community for consultation<br />
before being approved.<br />
“When the park is fenced off<br />
for the work, storyboards will be<br />
put up so that the community<br />
can see what and when work<br />
is happening, and how the<br />
finished pavilion will look,” Ms<br />
Jones said.<br />

Chorus box<br />
•From page 1<br />
While the neighbourhood<br />
is tight-knit, Mrs Burney has<br />
lived there for nine years and<br />
she said this has brought them<br />
closer together.<br />
An artist by trade, Mrs<br />
Burney has been working from<br />
her Bishopdale home since the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake<br />
forced her out of her last place<br />
of work – the Christchurch<br />
Arts Centre.<br />
“I’ve done a few portraits<br />
from my place but nothing like<br />
this box,” she said.<br />
But Mrs Burney said it’s<br />
been a “very liberating” process.<br />
“Usually I paint quite small<br />
and detailed. This is detailed<br />
but it’s got me painting big,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mrs Burney has never had<br />
such a social job as she said art<br />
is often quite isolating.<br />
People in the neighbourhood<br />
have been stopping to chat,<br />
tooting their horns as they<br />
drive by and even inviting her<br />
in for cups of tea.<br />
“I’d love to do more, it’s been<br />
really cool, really fun,” Mrs<br />
Burney said.<br />

WORDSMITH: Kate Ellis<br />
speaks to the National Council<br />
of Women.<br />
Student’s poem marks<br />
women’s right to vote<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
KATE ELLIS’ poem is about<br />
empowering women.<br />
It was particularly significant<br />
then that the Papanui resident<br />
and year 12 St Margaret’s<br />
College student took out the<br />
Lois Middlemiss Secondary<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
School Poetry Award on<br />
the 124th anniversary of<br />
women receiving the right to<br />
vote.<br />
Kate recited her poem in<br />
front of the National Council of<br />
Women at the Kate Sheppard<br />
Memorial in the central city to<br />
mark the anniversary.<br />
We Can – by Kate Ellis<br />
You can stand –<br />
But you must be silent.<br />
You can watch –<br />
But you must not complain.<br />
You can experience –<br />
But you must not learn.<br />
You can be affected –<br />
But you cannot vote.<br />
You can sit and be pretty –<br />
But you cannot age.<br />
You can watch it all be taken<br />
away –<br />
But you cannot cry for it back.<br />
You can wait for a change –<br />
Unless you make it.<br />
You can stand up and be counted –<br />
Unless you learn to let them stop<br />
you.<br />
You can be strong –<br />
Unless you let their voices exceed<br />
yours.<br />
You can be as loud as you wish –<br />
So long as your voice can carry<br />
and teach.<br />
You can have a say in your<br />
world –<br />
So long as you prepare to<br />
overcome silence.<br />
You can be who you wish to be –<br />
So long as you ignore those<br />
who would take back your<br />
freedom.<br />
You can be free –<br />
If you don’t expect it to be handed<br />
to you.<br />
You can be independent –<br />
If you don’t hold onto the<br />
expectation of the past.<br />
You can be a new woman –<br />
If you vote.<br />
You can –<br />
Wait,<br />
That change,<br />
What become of it?<br />
What of difference?<br />
What of strength?<br />
The battle did not end it merely<br />
began with that paper –<br />
I thought you knew, I thought you<br />
knew.<br />
Bodies, piled high, degraded –<br />
Disrespected on the grounds of<br />
biology,<br />
Will she have children? Soon?<br />
How can she be right either way?<br />
He is right,<br />
He lacks the parts,<br />
He lacks the limitations.<br />
She is a risk –<br />
Rise, should you?<br />
Shout, can you?<br />
Fight, will you?<br />
A pretty face, does not dismiss,<br />
A quick wit,<br />
A sly grin,<br />
A love of life and knowledge,<br />
A purpose<br />
Feminine strength,<br />
Not flesh,<br />
But a mind and a resilience,<br />
From here to the red hot end.<br />

a shark attack but lost her arm in<br />
the process.<br />
The story depicted the shark<br />
attack but went on to celebrate<br />
her resilience and return to<br />
surfing.<br />
Teachers Liz Fairhall and<br />
Simon Christie helped the pupils<br />
with their robotics during a class<br />
unit of inquiry.<br />
The pupils used Lego EV3 kits<br />
and Arduino microprocessors to<br />
create their robots.<br />
If they found the Lego kits<br />
did not have a piece they were<br />
looking for, they designed and<br />
ROBOTICS: Sonya Li-McHenry, Sophie Schneideman, Aria<br />
Wakelin and Evelyn King with their winning robots.<br />
3D-printed their own pieces to<br />
fit the purpose, allowing them<br />
to move beyond the kit<br />
limitations.<br />
“There is a big need for<br />
women in science, technology,<br />
engineering and maths careers<br />
and Robocup provides a great<br />
pathway to engage and captivate<br />
young girls within a tech future,”<br />
Mrs Fairhall said.<br />
INQUIRY: The pupils spent<br />
class time programming their<br />
robots to tell the tale of surfer<br />

WELLBEING<br />
FEAST DAY<br />
Message from the Catholic Diocese<br />
of Christchurch<br />
Our Diocese is proud of Marian College. The school is<br />
thriving at its inner-city campus location alongside the<br />
Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament on Barbadoes Street.<br />
Marian College shows us clearly that the heart of a<br />
Catholic school lies not in its buildings, but in a strong,<br />
supportive community built around faith.<br />
Marian College belongs to the Catholic Kāhui Ako<br />
Community of Learning, one of our 13 schools in<br />
Christchurch. Each school has an affiliated parish and<br />
networks contributing to the Diocese.<br />
Alongside our Diocese earthquake rebuild and repair<br />
programme, our parishes have been offered the chance to<br />
focus on spiritual renewal as we wait for a new Bishop<br />
to be appointed.<br />
The process for the rebuild of Marian College’s campus<br />
will be a priority for our new Bishop, who will ultimately<br />
make the decision on Marian College’s permanent site.<br />
This decision will not be made in isolation however,<br />
there are many factors to consider and groups to consult<br />
with, given the changes in our communities since<br />
the earthquakes.<br />
The Diocese looks forward to keeping the community<br />
updated on progress. In the meantime, Marian College<br />
continues to achieve excellent results and to thrive.<br />
A special thank you goes to the Marian College<br />
community – students, parents, staff and leadership, for<br />
your ongoing patience, support and cooperation.<br />
Fr Rick Loughnan<br />
Catholic Diocese of Christchurch Administrator<br />
The Marian College Principal<br />
Marian College is very fortunate to have a small, friendly,<br />
family atmosphere which comes from teachers and<br />
students knowing each other well.<br />
I am delighted to share that our students and teachers are<br />
making the very best of our current site – opportunities<br />
for collaboration are plenty and the benefits that come of<br />
an inner-city location are taken up with enthusiasm.<br />
At Marian College our special Catholic character is<br />
built into everything we do. Our earthquake recovery<br />
journey has taught us, that while brand new buildings and<br />
facilities are an exciting proposition, it is our faith, our<br />
community and our people that matter. I am excited about<br />
the future of Marian College – we can all look forward to a<br />
bright, sparkling new start. I hope you enjoy reading about<br />
some of our recent happenings.<br />
Mary-Lou Davidson,<br />
Marian College Principal<br />
Feast Day Festivities<br />
One of the most anticipated events on the Marian<br />
College calendar is Feast Day – recognised every year to<br />
celebrate the Assumption of Mary. This year, Feast Day<br />
began with a whole school Mass, which included the<br />
blessing of the new music department, featuring practice<br />
spaces and a multipurpose room.<br />
Traditional Feast Day activities involve Marian College’s<br />
house groups coming together in Xavier Hall to compete<br />
in a talent quest and house group chant competition.<br />
Rivalry between the four Marian College houses –<br />
Brodie, Deans, Seymour and Takahe – is strong and<br />
overwhelmingly positive. Students have been known to<br />
rehearse their chants and performances for up to six weeks<br />
in advance, polishing their acts ready for competition.<br />
Each performance is judged and awarded house points<br />
which are tallied throughout the year. The house with<br />
the most points earned – for academic, sporting, cultural,<br />
service and cultural achievements – is awarded the annual<br />
Inter-House Shield at the end of year school prize giving.<br />
Aiming for France<br />
Football talent Rebecca Lake (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Irakehu)<br />
could be heading to France next year to represent New<br />
Zealand and play in the 2018 U20 Women’s World Cup.<br />
The Year 13 Marian college student helped captain<br />
the New Zealand U19 Football team to victory in the<br />
Oceania Football Confederation championships in<br />
Auckland recently, securing the team’s spot in France,<br />
2018. Rebecca captained the team twice over the five<br />
game campaign which saw the team win all their games<br />
convincingly. Rebecca is a member of the Football Ferns<br />
development squad and has played with Mainland Pride<br />
(the National Women’s regional team) for three years.<br />
RIA KNEY<br />
Judo medallist<br />
Congratulations to Ria Kney (Ngāti Kahungunu) who<br />
won a gold medal in the U52kg girls category at the New<br />
Zealand Secondary Schools Judo Tournament last term.<br />
She won all five of her fights in the one day tournament<br />
held at Lincoln High School. Ria also won gold in two<br />
categories at the Auckland International Judo Open<br />
tournament held three weeks later at ASB Stadium in<br />
Auckland. One of her fights lasted just ten seconds!<br />
Wellbeing and service<br />
A priority for Marian College this year has been student<br />
and staff wellbeing. This year, Marian has introduced two<br />
new courses: Kia Maia and Mana Wahine. Kia Maia is a<br />
course for Year 9 students which focuses on wellbeing,<br />
character strengths, use of money, cyber safety and<br />
developing study and life skills.<br />
The Mana Wahine course aims to promote strong Marian<br />
women. Especially for year 12 students, the course<br />
teaches wellbeing, study techniques, life skills, careers,<br />
financial literacy and service.<br />
Marian College has a strong commitment to providing<br />
service to the community. Not only students, but staff<br />
members are also actively involved.<br />
Marian College staff members rolled up their sleeves<br />
recently, to spend an afternoon participating in a range of<br />
service activities including assisting at Christchurch City<br />
Mission and St Vincent de Paul, cleaning up a beach,<br />
gardening for the Beatitude sisters, making goods for<br />
Christchurch Hospital’s neo-natal unit and other<br />
children in need.<br />
Southern Jam<br />
Marian College’s Jazz Band travelled to the Southern<br />
Jam Jazz Festival in Blenheim recently – taking part<br />
in the showcase and celebration of the South Island’s<br />
secondary school jazz bands. Marian College’s Jazz Band<br />
performed at eight public venues and took home a bronze<br />
award. Band director Frances Daly is a Marian old girl<br />
currently studying at Ara Jazz School. Frances inspired<br />
the Jazz Band to compose an original song ‘Dirty<br />
Window’, which won Best Original Song at this year’s<br />
Christchurch Jazz Festival.<br />

Pool full of medals for St Andrew’s<br />
SPORTS<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
ST ANDREW’S College made a<br />
huge splash at the New Zealand<br />
secondary school swimming<br />
championships.<br />
The college crowned best co-ed<br />
school and the boys’ team came<br />
second.<br />
The 16-strong team won a total<br />
of 31 medals – 12 gold, 13 silver<br />
and six bronze – at the event in<br />
Hamilton from <strong>September</strong> 15-17.<br />
Each podium finish gave<br />
the school points, which were<br />
added up to give them their<br />
final position at the end of the<br />
competition.<br />
School spokeswoman Anj<br />
Hawkins said there were personal<br />
bests and medals at the meet,<br />
an achievement the school is<br />
proud of.<br />
“These results are promising.<br />
It’s very pleasing to see a lot of<br />
young talent coming through the<br />
year groups. This no doubt makes<br />
for some exciting years to come<br />
for the St Andrew’s College swim<br />
team,” she said.<br />

Shave for a cure<br />
Jesse Northcoat with Hairdresser from Hames Hairdressing<br />
Congratulations to all those who<br />
participated in Burnside High School’s <strong>2017</strong><br />
‘Shave For a Cure’. On Friday the 25th of<br />
August, a brave group of 20 students shaved<br />
their hair to raise funds as well as awareness<br />
for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand.<br />
This organisation ensures all individuals and<br />
families who are sadly faced with Leukaemia<br />
& Blood Cancer are well supported. The<br />
Left to right: Akshat Goyal, Josiah Edwin, Ryan Worsley<br />
shave took place at lunchtime creating a<br />
supportive atmosphere with many students<br />
helping out. Large support from Burnside<br />
High School’s community saw the team raise<br />
over $5,900! A huge thanks goes to Hames<br />
Hairdressing, Gray Ryburn, Jess Cliffe and<br />
all the helpers for allowing this event to be<br />
a success! Burnside High School is looking<br />
forward to ‘Shave For a Cure’ 2018!<br />
Table Tennis<br />
Both our Boys and Girls Table Tennis teams<br />

beating Auckland Grammar in the final. The<br />
Girls won the Girls grade, beating Macleans<br />

NZ call-up for college captains<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
ST ANDREW’S hooker Shilo<br />
Klein and Christ’s College centre<br />
Isaiah Punivai have been named<br />
in the New Zealand Schools<br />
team.<br />
Klein and Punivai both<br />
captained their sides in the UC<br />
Championship campaign and<br />
caught the eye of national selectors.<br />
Only five South Islanders<br />
have been included in the New<br />
Zealand Schools side set to play<br />
three matches next month. <br />
St Andrew’s sports co-ordinator<br />
Rod McIntosh said it was a<br />
well-deserved call up.<br />
“He is a pretty special kid who<br />
set goals at the start of the year<br />
and has achieved them,” he said.<br />
The New Zealand Schools Barbarian<br />
side has also been named<br />

GREAT food<br />
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />
Your fresh food people<br />
SPRING ONION PANCAKES<br />
Ingredients<br />
250g Plain flour, plus extra for<br />
dusting<br />
80 ml Boiling water<br />
70 ml Cold water<br />
2 Tbsp Vegetable oil<br />
1 bunch Spring onion, finely<br />
chopped<br />
1 tsp Sesame seeds<br />
Directions<br />
Put the flour in a bowl and<br />
add the boiling water, stirring<br />
with chopsticks. This is called<br />
‘burning’ the flour. Give it a mix<br />
and once it has cooled enough,<br />
continue mixing with your hands.<br />
Add the cold water, a quarter at<br />
a time, and continue mixing.<br />
When mixed thoroughly, take<br />
the dough out of the bowl and<br />
knead on a flour-covered bench.<br />
You may need to add more flour<br />
as you knead. Continue kneading<br />
until the dough is shiny and your<br />
hands and the bench are clear of<br />
dough.<br />
Roll the dough into a ball and<br />
place in a bowl covered with cling<br />
film. Seat aside for about half an<br />
hour. Take a piece of dough about<br />
the size of your fist and roll it out<br />
on the bench into a circle about<br />
15cm in diameter. Spread some<br />
vegetable oil over the dough, then<br />
sprinkle over the chopped spring<br />
onion. Sprinkle over the sesame<br />
seeds.<br />
Roll the pancake into a tight<br />
cylinder, then coil it around into<br />
a circle (like a caterpillar rolling<br />
itself into a circle). With a rolling<br />
pin, flatten this circle into a<br />
pancake again.<br />
Add oil to your frying pan and<br />
heat to a medium-high heat. Add<br />
the pancake to the frying pan and<br />
fry until golden, then flip and<br />
cook the other side until golden<br />
and crisp. Serve as a side dish<br />
with chilli oil or chilli sauce or<br />
your favourite Asian-inspired dip.<br />
Also great at breakfast time.<br />
APPLE AND PORK MINCE<br />
PINWHEELS<br />
Ingredients<br />
500g Pork mince<br />
2 tsp Sesame oil<br />
1 tsp Chicken stock, powder<br />
1 tsp Celery salt<br />
2 tsp Fennel seeds<br />
2 Tbsp Fresh parsley<br />
1 tsp Fresh dill<br />
2 cloves Garlic<br />
1 Onion<br />
½ Ambrosia Apple, finely diced<br />
with skin on<br />
2 Eggs, one for egg wash<br />
750g Flaky puff pastry, ready<br />
rolled<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C<br />
fan bake.<br />
Combine the first 10<br />
ingredients in a bowl.<br />
Mix in one egg.<br />
Divide mixture evenly onto<br />
four sheets of pastry, taking care<br />
to ensure you leave some space<br />
on each edge (about 2.5cm) for<br />
easy rolling.<br />
Lightly beat remaining egg for<br />
egg wash and brush the edges to<br />
help seal the pinwheel.<br />
Roll each sheet from the long<br />
end and cut each into four<br />
pinwheels with a sharp knife.<br />
Place on baking paper on<br />
oven tray and egg wash the<br />
pinwheels.<br />
Sprinkle on sesame seeds.<br />
Bake for 30min until golden.<br />

Melanoma Deadlier<br />
Than Road Fatalities<br />
Summer is around the corner, and it brings with it the<br />
temptation for some to “pre-tan” using artificial UV<br />
tanning equipment; but is it really worth the risk?<br />
More people die from melanoma<br />
each year than are killed<br />
annually in road crashes.<br />
This statistic was part of<br />
a comprehensive submission made to<br />
parliament’s Health Select Committee which<br />
is considering outlawing sunbeds for people<br />
under the age of 18 years.<br />
The submission was made by Accuro<br />
Health Insurance, established in the 1970s as<br />
a private insurer for the public health sector.<br />
Today it trades as a private health insurer<br />
with a widespread, general membership.<br />
Accuro, in supporting the submission<br />
made by the New Zealand Dermatological<br />
Society, pointed to a New Zealand Cancer<br />
Society figure of 324 deaths from melanoma<br />
in 2010. According to the NZ Road Transport<br />
Agency there were 253 road deaths for the 12<br />
months to February 2014 and 303 for the 12<br />
months to February 2015.<br />
In highlighting the figure, CEO Geoff<br />
Annals emphasised the serious nature of<br />
the disease and his submission drew the<br />
committee’s attention to the financial, social<br />
and personal costs of skin cancer.<br />
He quoted Cancer Society figures which<br />
report that New Zealand, along with<br />
Australia, has amongst the highest melanoma<br />
rates in the world. In 2010 melanoma was<br />
the fourth most common cancer with 2,341<br />
registered cases and the sixth most common<br />
cause of death from cancer.<br />
The Cancer Society further reports that<br />
skin cancer currently costs this country<br />
about $123 million annually.<br />
Geoff Annals says research by the Centre<br />
for Disease Control showed the introduction<br />
of seat belts reduced serious crash related<br />
injuries and deaths by about half and banning<br />
artificial UV tanning services is warranted<br />
on the same public health grounds as the<br />
compulsory seat belt legislation.<br />
While Accuro’s submission related to a ban<br />
for people under 18 years, it supports the<br />
introduction of a total ban on commercial<br />
artificial UV tanning.<br />
“As a health insurer grounded in the public<br />
health sector, we are strongly committed<br />
to supporting the effectiveness of publicly<br />
funded health services and better health<br />
outcomes for all New Zealanders,” Geoff<br />
Annals says.<br />
A leading New Zealand dermatologist, Dr<br />
Louise Reiche, who also made submissions<br />
to the Health Select Committee, says she’s<br />
treating many young people, especially<br />
women in their 20s and 30s, with melanomas<br />
resulting from commercial sunbed exposure.<br />
She says clients typically lie naked on<br />
their sunbeds and expose skin to radiation<br />
emitted from UV lamps which can be up to<br />
13 times greater than the peak summer sun.<br />
She’s now treating people with cancer of the<br />
genital skin which is more vulnerable to skin<br />
cancer development.<br />
“The medical profession is run off their<br />
feet with people presenting themselves with<br />
skin cancers causing the public health system<br />
to be overwhelmed,” Dr Reiche says.<br />
“The waiting list is three to four months<br />
for urgent cases and, during the delay, the<br />
cancers are growing. This results in poorer<br />
health outcomes and more complex and<br />
expensive procedures.”<br />
Geoff Annals quoted Cancer<br />
Society figures which report<br />
that New Zealand, along<br />
with Australia, has amongst<br />
the highest melanoma<br />
rates in the world. In 2010<br />
melanoma was the fourth<br />
most common cancer with<br />
2,341 registered cases and<br />
the sixth most common<br />
cause of death from cancer.<br />

million subscribers, performed on “Good<br />
Morning America,” topped iTunes and Billboard<br />
charts and played hundreds of shows to packedhouse<br />
crowds around the world. As NPR put it,<br />
they've done this by “taking current Top 40 hits<br />
and re-imagining them as coming from older<br />
eras of popular music.”<br />
The mastermind behind the group, Scott<br />
Bradlee has turned Postmodern Jukebox into a<br />
juggernaut by building an incredible grassroots<br />
movement around the act. He continues to pick<br />
the songs, create the arrangements and shows,<br />
and puts together the performers - which<br />
includes some notable names alongside<br />
phenomenal "undiscovered" talent. e group<br />
releases a new video every week, each one shot<br />

Postmodern Jukebox is certainly a rebuke to<br />
the contention that 'they don't make 'em like<br />
they used to' - and there's something truly<br />
special about witnessing their musical magic<br />
live.<br />
To echo Bradlee's own invitation: “Dust off<br />
the turntable, fix yourself a stiff drink, and get<br />
comfy. Welcome to the world of Postmodern<br />
Jukebox.”<br />
Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox performs<br />
at the Isaac eatre Royal this Sunday night.<br />

Join us at one of Christchurch’s largest events<br />
If you’ve been searching for the perfect occasion for you<br />

Women’s Lifestyle Expo is back in Christchurch once more<br />

has to visitors is the variety<br />
of companies involved with<br />

brushes to gourmet vodka.<br />
Renee Murray from NZME<br />
Events, organiser of the Expo<br />
says “Our aim is to have as wide<br />
of a range of companies involved<br />
with the Expo as possible.<br />
Women are all different and their<br />
individual interests are so diverse.<br />
One woman may love the latest in<br />
makeup or is looking for childcare<br />
options but the woman beside her<br />
may be more interested in sampling<br />
handmade cheese or discovering<br />
travel and cultural experiences.<br />
It’s great on the weekend to see<br />
all the various women visit the<br />
show, from teenagers to business<br />
women, mothers to grandmothers<br />
and friends simply enjoying each<br />
other’s company. It’s becoming<br />
more common for us to see three<br />
generations visit the Expo together as<br />
well, with the daughter, mother and<br />
grandmother all enjoying the show and<br />
spending the day with each other.”<br />
Featuring lots of new companies and<br />
everything from fashion and accessories<br />
to travel, giftware, fantastic food and<br />
wine, crafts, unique businesses,<br />
beauty, eco-friendly products,<br />
education, community groups and<br />
so much more – what interests the<br />
modern woman will be at the Expo.<br />
Take time for yourself; Have a Mother–Daughter day out or grab<br />
the girlfriends and head to the Women’s Lifestyle Expo on this 30th<br />
<strong>September</strong> & 1st October at Horncastle Arena. Door Sales only $10.

With over 200 companies involved, it will be one of the<br />
largest events held in the region and organisers expect many<br />
thousand women to visit the Expo over the two days.<br />
Renee Murray from Expo<br />
Organisers, NZME Events says<br />
“We will be bringing a fabulous<br />
experience to the women of<br />
Canterbury for one weekend.<br />
Don’t miss this opportunity to see<br />
so many wonderful companies and<br />
do lots of shopping under the one<br />
roof. Aside from having the best of<br />
local companies exhibiting at the<br />
Expo we have a large number of<br />
national companies who will travel<br />
to Christchurch from all around<br />
New Zealand especially to show<br />
local women their products. This<br />
is a great chance for women to<br />
stop, relax and spoil themselves<br />
for one weekend”.<br />
Brandhouse will return to the<br />
Expo again with their range of<br />
champagne, vodka, port and<br />
wines. Popular last year was<br />
the Royal Dragon’s elite flavour<br />
vodka collection with some<br />
flavours selling out. Introducing<br />
the most tantalizing and unique<br />
flavoured vodka collection of its<br />
time, flavours include Watermelon,<br />
Green Apple, Passion Fruit,<br />
Chocolate and Lychee… a<br />
great vodka collection to enjoy<br />
neat, on the rocks or in your<br />
favourite cocktail! Visit the large<br />
Brandhouse site at the show to<br />
sample from their fabulous range and<br />
take home what you love.<br />
A new exhibitor to the show is The Lip<br />
Lounge, a new Christchurch based<br />
business that can help you customize<br />
your own lipstick in your favourite<br />
shade. You can even bring in your<br />
favourite lipstick that may have been<br />
deleted or you want to replicate and<br />
you can watch the girls at The Lip<br />
Lounge mix and create your perfect<br />
shade right in front of you.<br />
A popular section of the show is<br />
the large Artisan Craft Zone. With<br />
some favourite companies appearing<br />
every year and new companies<br />
featuring, it’s the perfect spot to<br />
find original crafts and creations.<br />
Crafter Alexander will travel to<br />
the show all the way from Marton<br />
in the North Island to showcase<br />
his range of handcrafted wooden<br />
kitchen planters. These have<br />
sold out at the past two Expos so<br />
Alex is looking forward to seeing<br />
the feedback from Christchurch<br />
visitors.<br />
Make sure you stop by the Artisan<br />
Craft Zone at the show and meet<br />
some talented small businesses.<br />
