New World<br />
Bishopdale<br />
wins battle<br />
to display<br />
booze<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
A SUPERMARKET has won a<br />
three-year battle allowing it to<br />
display alcohol at the end of aisles<br />
and facing other groceries – for<br />
now.<br />
The Alcohol Regulatory and<br />
Licensing Authority has decided<br />
to allow New World Bishopdale to<br />
display its alcohol where it is, until<br />
it renews its off-licence next year.<br />
But medical officer of health<br />
Alistair Humphrey said the<br />
decision will increase shoppers<br />
exposure to alcohol resulting in<br />
more sales.<br />
“More sales of alcohol results<br />
in more harm, both directly and<br />
indirectly,” he said.<br />
Currently, the alcohol is displayed<br />
on an outer aisle. At the<br />
rear of the supermarket, it faces<br />
the dairy chillers, while at the<br />
other end, it is opposite the bakery<br />
products.<br />
Under new rules in the Sale and<br />
Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, supermarkets<br />
and grocery stores must<br />
restrict the display of alcohol to a<br />
single area.<br />
The area should be out of the<br />
way so customers do not have to<br />
walk through it when doing their<br />
general shopping.<br />

Alan Jamieson.<br />
The 69-year-old has dedicated<br />
a lifetime to St Albans cricket but<br />
after five decades of administration<br />
work he’s decided to call it<br />
quits.<br />
On page 13, we talk with Jamie<br />
about his time at the club and<br />
why he’s decided to close his innings.<br />
He joined the club from<br />
Papanui High in January 1965<br />
and played 521 games, took 1260<br />
wickets and scored 7008 runs<br />
until March 2006.<br />
That’s not a bad scoreboard in<br />
anyone’s reckoning.<br />
And Jamie says he won’t be<br />
seen much around te club now<br />
either and he’ll be likely watching<br />
matches from a discreet distance.<br />
“I want to give them a chance<br />
to take the reins without me hovering<br />
around,” he says of the new<br />
administrators.<br />

Supermarket wins booze battle<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
•From page 1<br />
In 2014, New World<br />
Bishopdale’s new owner Bond<br />
Markets, applied to the district<br />
licensing committee for a new<br />
off-licence under the new rules.<br />
During the hearing, concerns<br />
were raised about the alcohol<br />
display being<br />
in the general<br />
shopping area.<br />
But owner Nigel<br />
Bond said due to<br />
space restraints,<br />
there were no<br />
Alistair<br />
Humphrey<br />
other options.<br />
The committee<br />
ruled to restrict<br />
the area, so Bond<br />
Markets appealed the decision<br />
to ARLA, which ruled in its<br />
favour.<br />
Dr Humphrey then appealed<br />
ARLA’s decision to the High<br />
Court. Justice David Gendall<br />
then quashed ARLA’s ruling.<br />
After a Court of Appeal<br />
sitting, ARLA reconsidered<br />
the appeal against the district<br />
licensing committee’s original<br />
2014 decision in July.<br />
In a recent decision, ARLA<br />
said the supermarket’s offlicence<br />
was up for renewal next<br />
year.<br />
SUCCESS: New World Bishopdale has won a battle on how it can display alcohol.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
“The Authority does not<br />
consider it in the interests of<br />
justice that the parties are put<br />
to the trouble and expense of<br />
having to renew the licence only<br />
to have to do so again almost<br />
immediately thereafter.”<br />
But Dr Humphrey said ARLA<br />
declined to take into account<br />
limiting exposure to alcohol,<br />
instead taking a pragmatic<br />
approach.<br />
“By placing alcohol directly<br />
opposite a section of the<br />
supermarket which most<br />
shoppers frequent, exposure<br />
to alcohol, often significantly<br />
discounted, will be increased,”<br />
he said.<br />
He said the High Court<br />
victory meant supermarkets<br />
were now recognising their<br />
obligations when it comes to<br />
alcohol sales and having a<br />
separate alcohol area.<br />
New World Bishopdale’s<br />
alcohol sale area had remained<br />
the same while the issue was in<br />
dispute.<br />
New World South City<br />
was originally fighting a<br />
similar battle, but because it<br />
is redeveloping on a different<br />
location, it withdrew its<br />
appeal.<br />
Foodstuffs South Island<br />
retail general manager Tim<br />
Donaldson said it was “very<br />
pleased” with the decision.<br />
He said Foodstuffs stores<br />
understood the obligations<br />
under the current legislation.<br />

Rangi international club raises<br />
money for cyclone hit Tonga<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’<br />
School head of<br />
the international<br />
club, Amy<br />
Chen, writes<br />
about raising<br />
funds for a<br />
school in Tonga<br />
devastated by a cyclone<br />
and the importance of<br />
being a global citizen<br />
There are about 60 members in<br />
the international club, including<br />
both international and domestic<br />
students from all over the world.<br />
Some now live here permanently,<br />
while some are international<br />
students with families<br />
overseas.<br />
Something we learn from our<br />
early years here is that we are<br />
global citizens; that we are part<br />
of a much bigger picture.<br />
I like to live my life by treating<br />
others how I want to be treated<br />
myself. And I think a good way<br />
to check yourself now and then is<br />
to make sure you are contributing<br />
to the lives of others and not<br />
making it all about you.<br />
We have fun in the international<br />
club, too, with occasional<br />
movie nights and club outings.<br />
Some girls help others settle in<br />
GLOBAL: International week<br />
at Rangi Ruru Girls’ School<br />
saw students embracing<br />
cultures from all over the<br />
world.<br />
if they are new to New Zealand,<br />
while others have great energy<br />
and drive to keep the club going.<br />
Diversity is so important in life<br />
and at Rangi Ruru we are proud<br />
to celebrate it every day, while<br />
having a bit of fun too.<br />
International week at Rangi<br />
Ruru aimed to enable the girls<br />
at our school to become more<br />
engaged with different cultures<br />
and raise funds for a school<br />
in Tonga affected by Cyclone<br />
Winston.<br />
One of the highlights for me<br />
was the international food day,<br />
where girls brought in food from<br />
their culture to share with the<br />
school and raise funds.<br />
St Andrew’s High School in<br />
Tonga is still struggling after<br />
Cyclone Winston more than a<br />
year ago. It was already under<br />
pressure as it was short of basic<br />
education necessities, such as<br />
stationery and school books.<br />
Being able to keep the<br />
maintenance up at St Andrew’s is<br />
almost considered a luxury. The<br />
school struggles to find enough<br />
money to do what it needs to do.<br />
Many of the families are<br />
struggling and unemployment<br />
is an issue. Because the school is<br />
funded from fees, it means there<br />
isn’t enough money for even the<br />
basics like books and other dayto-day<br />
needs<br />
We are very fortunate here<br />
in New Zealand, and especially<br />
being students at Rangi Ruru.<br />

St Andrew’s oldest alum dies<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ST ANDREW’S oldest collegian<br />
has passed away.<br />
Naylor Hillary, 102, was part of<br />
the centenary celebrations at the<br />
college in March where he cut<br />
the cake.<br />
But it was way back at the beginning<br />
of 1929 that Mr Hillary<br />
first attended St Andrew’s. He<br />
moved into the boarding school<br />
from his family home in Opawa.<br />
“I have very pleasant memories<br />
of my time there,” he told<br />
Nor’West <strong>News</strong> in March.<br />
His son, grandsons and now<br />
great-grandson have all received<br />
their education at St Andrew’s.<br />
Rector Christine Leighton<br />
said Mr Hillary was a “special<br />
person”.<br />
“We are privileged to have had<br />
some special moments with him<br />
over these last few years,” Mrs<br />
Leighton said.<br />
The Papanui resident was also<br />
one of the oldest veterans of the<br />
Royal Air Force’s Tempsford 138<br />

he was a navigator for during<br />
World War 2. Until 1989, the<br />
existence of the squadron was<br />
so classified it had never been<br />
acknowledged.<br />
At the end of last year, Mr<br />
Hillary was awarded the French<br />
Legion d’Honneur medal by the<br />
French ambassador for his services<br />
during WW2. His daughter<br />
Pam Bissland said her father<br />
didn’t talk much about his life<br />

Haunting of Sisson Drive<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THIS TIME cars are not to<br />
blame for congestion around<br />
Northlands Shopping Centre –<br />
it’s the ghosts.<br />
After receiving complaints<br />
of congestion from users of<br />
the Sisson Drive and Sawyers<br />
Arms Rd intersection, the city<br />
council investigated and found<br />
“ghost calling” is causing traffic<br />
build up, city council manager<br />
planning and delivery transport<br />
Lynette Ellis said.<br />
She said feedback from people<br />
using the intersection indicated<br />
the light phasing was not correct<br />
when detecting cyclists.<br />
“When the signal operation<br />
was analysed ghost calling<br />
was evident in the detection<br />
logs.”<br />
Ms Ellis said finding a cause is<br />
difficult as ghost calls can occur<br />
for a variety of reasons.<br />
“They happen when the<br />
induction loops or the thermal<br />
cameras incorrectly detect a<br />
vehicle, cyclist or pedestrian,”<br />
she said.<br />
At the Sisson Drive<br />
intersection, Ms Ellis said the<br />
lights were incorrectly detecting<br />
cyclists, which may be caused by<br />
electrical interference, software<br />
coding or thermal spikes. It<br />
unnecessarily changes the phase.<br />
COMMUTERS: The lights at the intersection of Sisson Drive and<br />
Sawyers Arms Rd were found to be ghost calling.<br />
PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS<br />
She said ghost calling tends<br />
to effect new intersections and<br />
the lights only went in recently<br />
during the Papanui Parallel<br />
cycleway upgrades.<br />
City council staff and<br />
contractors have been working<br />
on the issue and said the<br />
occurrences of ghost calling have<br />
been reduced.<br />
Ms Ellis said she believed the<br />
underlying issues causing the<br />
ghost calling have been found.<br />
“Changes have been made to<br />
the software and some changes<br />
to the detection loop settings<br />
inside the traffic signal controller<br />
and this is currently being<br />
monitored to ensure issues have<br />
been resolved,” Ms Ellis said.<br />
EXERCISE: Commodore Airport Hotel general manager<br />
Michael Patterson and David Cartwright try out the new<br />
Burnside fitness trail.<br />
Fitness trail open in Burnside<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
BURNSIDE PARK’S $69,000<br />
fitness trail was opened on<br />
Saturday.<br />
Said Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
chairman David Cartwright:<br />
“It’s a fantastic asset for the city<br />
and particularly this part of the<br />
neighbourhood.”<br />
The project was a joint effort<br />
by the community board, which<br />
was approached by the Commodore<br />
Airport Hotel with the<br />
idea.<br />
The hotel then donated<br />
$10,000 and the board gave<br />
$11,500, plus a similar contribution<br />
came from three rotary<br />
clubs – Bishopdale-Burnside,<br />
Avonhead and Riccarton.<br />
Mr Cartwright said it was a<br />
great example of someone coming<br />
to the community board<br />
with an idea, and the board taking<br />
it on and getting involved.<br />
The four stations include a situp<br />
bench, push-up bars, stairs, a<br />
vertical ladder, chin-up bar, gym<br />
rings, a shoulder wheel, cross<br />
trainer, pull down exerciser,<br />
recumbent cycle, skier, leg press,<br />
parallel bars, monkey bars and a<br />
balance beam.<br />
“The exercise equipment is<br />
quite general. Kids, adults and<br />
those with disabilities can use<br />
the gear,” he said.<br />
It was all installed in phases,<br />
starting two years ago but completed<br />
this month.<br />

Pump house designs out<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
FENDALTON residents<br />
will have their water back to<br />
pre-quake volumes with the<br />
installation of a new $2.5 million<br />
pump house.<br />
A new pump house, with a 500<br />
cu m tank, is now in the planning<br />
stage for Jeffreys Reserve<br />
on Jeffreys Rd. An architect<br />
has drawn up the design which<br />
will go out for consultation this<br />
month.<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board chairman<br />
David Cartwright said he<br />
asked city council staff about<br />
the costs around further design<br />
options.<br />
“Staff came back and said it<br />
could be as much as $20,000.<br />
That’s $20,000 of ratepayers’<br />
money that could be spent on<br />
fixing potholes.”<br />
He said the board did not want<br />
to “over consult” on something<br />
that was an essential service.<br />
“It is a big beast and its necessary,”<br />
Mr Cartwright said.<br />
Fendalton city councillor<br />
Jamie Gough said from his<br />
perspective, it was a great pump<br />
house.<br />
“Not many pump houses are<br />
designed by architects,” he said.<br />
Residents will get a chance to<br />
give feedback on the design during<br />
a community engagement<br />
PLANS: The pump house will<br />
get Fendalton residents water<br />
service back to pre-quake<br />
levels. <br />
meeting this month, city council<br />
manager planning and delivery<br />
John Moore said.<br />
“At the end of the day, it’ll<br />
blend in. After a while you walk<br />
past telephone or power boxes<br />
and generally don’t notice,” Mr<br />
Cartwright said.<br />
Four bores have already been<br />
dug by the city council 100m<br />
into the ground to get to the<br />
water reservoir below.<br />
“The earthquake-damaged<br />
water tank, which is not in use<br />
now, needs to be replaced . . .<br />
Jeffreys Rd pump station will<br />
then be able to provide the<br />
pre-earthquake flow rates to the<br />
network,” Mr Moore said.<br />
The land is set to be secured by<br />
November, a detailed design will<br />
be complete by February and<br />
the structure will be finished in<br />
2019.<br />

fly The Wizard to the New<br />
Brighton Pier to protect it from<br />
a bug invasion.<br />
These and another five games<br />
are at Gap Filler’s Super Street<br />
Arcade on Tuam St. They will<br />
feature one at a time for three<br />
days each.<br />
“It’s amazing when they see<br />
their games being played and<br />
enjoyed by complete strangers,”<br />
Gap Filler learning facilitator<br />
Sally Airey said.<br />
Ms Airy said the games will<br />
be running through the school<br />
holidays. She said the best few<br />
will also get to feature for a<br />
week after the holidays finish.<br />
Seven teams of students have<br />
been designing the games as<br />
part of their digital technologies<br />
classes.<br />
Supported by the Ministry<br />
of Education, the programme<br />
GAMERS: Bug invasion, designed by Aaron Briggs and<br />
Thomas Were from Papanui High School, takes The Wizard<br />
to New Brighton Pier to protect it from a bug invasion.<br />
has seen students experience<br />
the Super Street Arcade for<br />
themselves, respond to a brief,<br />
create and work on concepts<br />
then present those to a panel of<br />
experts.<br />
Game developers Cerebral-<br />
Fix, which designed the app<br />
Attack of the Cones based on<br />
Christchurch and create content<br />
for Disney, worked with the<br />
students.<br />
Ms Airy said CerebralFix has<br />
loved working with the younger<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
generation.<br />
“We’re blown away by what<br />
the students have achieved,<br />
they’re tackling quite complex<br />
technical and design challenges<br />
and smashing it,” Nadia<br />
Thorne, head of studio at CerebralFix<br />
said.<br />
Ms Thorne said she hopes to<br />
run the programme again next<br />
year.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Pokemon on the cycleways<br />
POKEMON GO took the world<br />
by storm and has now provided<br />
the inspiration for a campaign<br />
to get people using the city’s<br />
cycleways.<br />
A group of Selwyn House<br />
pupils looked at the app which<br />
involved collecting imaginary<br />
monsters from locations around<br />
the world as a way to increase<br />
usage of the paths.<br />
As part of a class project on<br />
community problem-solving,<br />
Alice Hunter, Reed McHugh,<br />
Cleo McLeod and Sophie<br />
Hogson, used their school’s laser<br />
cutter and 3-D printer to create<br />
bicycle shaped cut-outs that<br />
would be hidden in places along<br />
the cycleways.<br />
People would have to find and<br />
collect photos of the cut-outs,<br />
like Pokemon Go characters,<br />
then post them on social media<br />
or a website.<br />
The pupils said they hope<br />
to decorate the cut-outs to<br />
encourage people to get out<br />
on the cycleways to hunt them<br />
down.<br />
“This could get families and<br />
kids off their couches and onto<br />
the cycleways,’’ Alice, 11, told<br />
the city council’s infrastructure,<br />
transport and environment<br />
committee.<br />
Reed, 11, said they hoped to<br />
involve other schools in the<br />
project by inviting them to<br />
decorate the cut-outs.<br />
“Safety will be a major factor<br />
in choosing where these bikes are<br />
placed because we don’t want to<br />
cause crashes or traffic jams,’’ she<br />
said.<br />
Cleo, 12, said social media<br />
INVENTIVE: Sophie<br />
Hogson, Reed<br />
McHugh Cleo McLeod<br />
and Alice Hunter<br />
spoke to a city council<br />
committee about<br />
their idea to get more<br />
people using the<br />
cycleways.<br />
could be used to promote the<br />
cycle hunt and the cycleways.<br />
“The project could tie in with<br />
social media to get more people<br />
involved. Once people find a bike<br />
they can take a picture next to it<br />
and post it on social media using<br />
the hashtag,’’ she said.<br />
“A website could be created<br />
that pulls all the hashtag posts<br />
from Instagram, Twitter and<br />
Facebook. It could also have a<br />
downloadable and printable map<br />
of the bikes’ locations.”<br />
The girls’ ideas were well<br />
received by the committee.<br />
“The committee is very<br />
impressed and excited by<br />
this idea and we will use the<br />
appropriate channels to pick this<br />
up,’’ committee chairwoman and<br />
city councillor Pauline Cotter<br />
said.<br />
Bid to make corner safe<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
AFTER 19 crashes over a sixyear<br />
period, Chaneys Corner is<br />
about to be upgraded.<br />
City council staff said safety<br />
improvements at the corner of<br />
Main North, Marshland and<br />
Spencerville Rds are critical.<br />
“As part of this work, we will<br />
create a left hand turning slip<br />
lane for motorists travelling<br />
north on Marshland Rd who<br />
want to turn left to access the<br />
Northern Motorway,” staff said.<br />
There has been uncertainty<br />
from vehicles coming off Main<br />
North Rd, staff said.<br />
So the left hand slip will allow<br />
“clear separation” from motorists<br />
travelling straight ahead<br />
- avoiding oncoming traffic<br />
altogether.<br />
“The Main North Rd give<br />
way will be changed to a stop<br />
sign to make it consistent with<br />
the Spencerville Rd approach<br />
and reduce confusion regarding<br />
priorities.”<br />
There will also be updated<br />
warning signs that say “slow<br />
down” installed on Marshland<br />
CRASH: After 19<br />
accidents over a<br />
six year period,<br />
Chaneys Corner<br />
is now being<br />
upgraded. <br />
Rd as an early advisory to motorists.<br />
The city council investigated<br />
the possibility of putting traffic<br />
lights or a roundabout at the<br />
intersection.<br />
However, staff said traffic is<br />
“anticipated to reduce drastically”<br />
with the completion of<br />
the Northern Arterial.<br />
These options would also<br />
cause significant delays to<br />
vehicles on Marshland Rd,<br />
and staff said the pattern of accidents<br />
would change and could<br />
increase in severity.<br />
“A roundabout is not suitable<br />
for this location due to the<br />
unbalanced number of vehicles<br />
at the four approaches to this<br />
intersection.”<br />
The city council has opened<br />
the proposal up for feedback<br />
from the public until <strong>October</strong><br />
27, which can be given on its<br />
website.<br />
All feedback will be considered<br />
before a staff recommendation<br />
goes to the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board in February.<br />
If approved, the project will<br />
begin in the middle of next year.<br />

St Andrew’s skipper selected<br />
at hooker in NZ Schools team<br />
SPORTS<br />
BACK TO FORWARD: Former St Andrew’s College player<br />
Shilo Klein moved from second-five to hooker and has<br />
been selected in the New Zealand Schools side.<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
SPEED AND power are<br />
two attributes needed in the<br />
modern-day hooker.<br />
But 18-year-old Shilo Klein<br />
has something else too: He’s a<br />
natural midfielder.<br />
The St Andrew’s College<br />
student, who moved from<br />
second-five to hooker last year,<br />
was one of 25 named in the<br />
New Zealand Schools side to<br />
play three games against two<br />
Australian and a Fijian team<br />
in Sydney.<br />
He didn’t play in the 54-7<br />
demolition of the Fijian<br />
Schools side on Thursday.<br />
Christ’s College first XV<br />
captain and centre Isaiah<br />
Punivai was also named in the<br />
New Zealand Schools side.<br />
Klein was also included<br />
in the Crusaders Academy<br />
for next year and is looking<br />
forward to making a career<br />
out of rugby.<br />
He weighs in at 105kg and<br />
is 180cm. He’s well-suited to<br />
the forward pack, first XV cocoach<br />
Mike Johnston said.<br />
“The skills he learnt at<br />
second-five has helped out as<br />
a hooker. He has developed<br />
some really good passing skills<br />
and lines to run out in those<br />
wider channels,” he said.<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
“We thought he would be a<br />
good fit in that position and<br />
that has been proved correct<br />
with his selection in the New<br />
Zealand Schools side.”<br />
Klein, who was born in<br />
Sacramento, California, said it<br />
was a no-brainer to move into<br />
the forward pack.<br />
“I had a lot of feedback that<br />
this position would suit my<br />
style of play. I played like a<br />
forward in the backline, I ran<br />
straight and looked for good<br />
physical go-forward,” he said.<br />
It took him a few attempts to<br />
feel comfortable in the middle<br />
of a scrum, but now he loves it.<br />
“In my first scrum, I felt<br />
claustrophobic, but I got used<br />
to it,” he said.<br />
Klein captained St Andrew’s<br />
this year, leading them to fifth<br />
in the UC Championship and<br />
third in the co-ed cup in the<br />
New Zealand Barbarians first<br />
XV championship.<br />
He moved to Christchurch<br />
when he was three with his<br />
parents, Howard and Wendy.<br />
“I play the sport in one way<br />
or another all year round,<br />
as I play touch and sevens<br />
also. I really want to play<br />
professionally some day,” he<br />
said.<br />

Jamieson pulls up stumps at St Albans<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
ST ALBANS Cricket Club’s<br />
season will begin this weekend.<br />
After 52 years as a club member<br />
– 44 of those as president and<br />
chairman – Alan Jamieson, 69,<br />
has pulled has pulled stumps on<br />
his administration career to allow<br />
a new crop of management to<br />
take it into the future.<br />
He may not be at the ground<br />
for the opening game – but you<br />
might see him watching the action<br />
from afar.<br />
After 52 years, 44 as president<br />
and chairman, the Avonhead<br />
man has pulled stumps on his<br />
administration career to allow a<br />
new crop of management to take<br />
it into the future.<br />
“I want to give them a chance<br />
SPORTS<br />
to take the reins without me<br />
hovering around,” he said.<br />
On August 1, Graham Curgenven<br />
took over as president and<br />
Pierre Flavell as chairman.<br />
Jamieson oversaw the merger<br />
between the St Albans Women’s<br />
Cricket Club and men’s club in<br />
1977, one of the first clubs to do<br />
so in the city, saw the coming and<br />
going of a number of professional<br />
players at the club and watched<br />
Chris Harris, Chris Martin and<br />
Mark Priest go on to play for New<br />
Zealand. He said he can’t take<br />
credit for Martin’s batting style,<br />
which is famous around cricket<br />
grounds both here and abroad.<br />
“He was a number 11 the day<br />
he joined the club from Christchurch<br />
Boys’,” he laughed.<br />
Jamieson joined the club from<br />
Papanui High in January 1965<br />
and played 521 games, took 1260<br />
wickets and scored 7008 runs<br />
until March 2006.<br />
Jamieson played “on the front<br />
foot” both on and off the pitch<br />
resulting in a few run-ins with<br />
cricket bosses.<br />
“Lee Germon and I have<br />
had some fierce conversations<br />
over the years, I didn’t win too<br />
many of those,” he said with a<br />
chuckle. •Turn to page 14<br />

Pulling up<br />
stumps<br />
after 52 years<br />
•From page 13<br />
He said the club had become a bit<br />
“nomadic” after the 2014 redevelopment<br />
of Hagley Oval, but the overall end result<br />
was a fantastic international cricket<br />
ground.<br />
Jamieson said the lure of the game will<br />
be hard to stay away from, but as he did<br />
after finishing his playing days, he will<br />
watch from a distance.<br />
“I used to watch from afar after I finished<br />
playing, behind trees and in cars,<br />
because, you know how it is. If you are<br />
hanging around, soon you are called up to<br />
fill in then your back playing,” he said.<br />
The main thing he will miss is the communication<br />
with all the players, officials,<br />
coaches and management of the club, he<br />
said.<br />
“I have noticed since I have been away<br />
the communication has stopped. It remains<br />
to be seen if the winter month quietness<br />
will reflect the summer months,”<br />
he said. One of the hardest and best moments<br />
in his long tenure share a common<br />
date: January 30, 2009.<br />
The clubrooms, in Hagley Oval, suffered<br />
an arson attack at about 7am, burning it<br />
to the ground.<br />
Jamieson said it was the worst moment<br />
of his time at the club standing on the<br />
field watching his beloved clubrooms billow<br />
smoke and collapse in the inferno.<br />
“But rebuilding it brought the club<br />
together. The club rallied and it made it<br />
stronger,” he said.<br />
Now retired, Jamieson said he has time<br />
to do something else rather than cricket.<br />
Top UC Championship season<br />
Aranui’s Tahu<br />
Kaa-Goodwillie has<br />
been selected in the<br />
under-18 Maori side<br />
after a solid season<br />
with UC Championship<br />
winning Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School. He<br />
talks to Andrew King<br />
about almost heading<br />
to Auckland after<br />
being spotted at an<br />
intermediate sevens<br />
tournament<br />
Tahu Kaa-Goodwillie has<br />
been playing the sport he<br />
loves since age four and the<br />
hard work has paid off with<br />
his inclusion in the under-18<br />
Maori side.<br />
The 17-year-old, whose<br />
iwi is both Ngati Porou and<br />
Ngai Tahu, was a standout<br />
performer in this year’s UC<br />
Championship at second-five<br />
with a number of line breaks<br />
and a huge defensive workload<br />
cementing his spot in the<br />
starting Christchurch Boys’<br />
High School side and earning<br />
him a call-up for higher<br />
honours.<br />
But he could have been<br />
busting tackles in Auckland.<br />
His talent was identified<br />
when he was 12 by talent<br />
scouts from a couple of<br />
Auckland schools at the 2012<br />
AIMS Games in Tauranga,<br />
LEADER: Tahu Kaa-Goodwillie leads the haka for Christchurch Boys’ High School.<br />
where he was playing<br />
sevens for Chisnallwood<br />
Intermediate.<br />
He was offered a full<br />
scholarship to St Kentigern<br />
College, Auckland, which<br />
prompted him to talk with<br />
then coach and PE teacher<br />
Jared Mitchell about what he<br />
should do.<br />
“I had no idea what to tell<br />
him so I got High School Old<br />
Boys coach Aaron Mauger to<br />
have a chat with him about the<br />
pros and cons of going north<br />
or staying here,” Mitchell said.<br />
Kaa-Goodwillie was planning<br />
on heading to CBHS,<br />
but the offer from Auckland<br />
gave him another option to<br />
consider.<br />
A meeting with CBHS<br />
headmaster Nic Hill, school<br />
sports co-ordinator Steven<br />
Dodds and Mauger outlined<br />
that he could have the best of<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
both worlds, great education<br />
and a chance to play in a wellrespected<br />
rugby team.<br />
“Aaron told him you don’t<br />
need to be in Auckland to<br />
be an All Black. But we said<br />
it would not just be rugby,<br />
school work came first,” Mr<br />
Hill said. Kaa-Goodwillie said<br />
the decision to stay in Canterbury<br />
was so he could be close<br />
to family, but the Auckland<br />
offer was hard to turn down.<br />

earns Maori selection<br />
“But it has worked out pretty<br />
good for me,” he said.<br />
He stayed with his uncle<br />
Stewart Kaa for two years on<br />
Rata St, Fendalton, less than 1km<br />
from CBHS, so he was in the<br />
zone to attend the high school<br />
before moving back home with<br />
his mother Tania Kaa and father<br />
Carlin Goodwillie in Parklands.<br />
His form this year earned him<br />
selection in the Crusaders Junior<br />
Knights development camp<br />
held at St Andrew’s College in<br />
July before being selected in the<br />
Junior Knights who lost 25-10 in<br />
a curtainraiser match against the<br />
under-18 Hurricanes side.<br />
He has been involved in Metro<br />
representative rugby since age 13.<br />
He trialled and missed out<br />
on the New Zealand Schools<br />
team this year but said making<br />
the Maori team is a fantastic<br />
stepping stone for him as it has<br />
always been his dream to play<br />
rugby professionally.<br />
“With the Maori team, we get<br />
to play more games compared to<br />
the New Zealand Schools side.<br />
So that has been a bit of blessing<br />
in disguise,” he said.<br />
Kaa-Goodwillie played for<br />
the Linwood Rugby Club until<br />
age 11, before playing for the<br />
Christchurch Football Club until<br />
high school. He now plays for<br />
CBHS’s first XV.<br />
“The move to Christchurch<br />
Football Club was to develop me<br />
as a player. I will always have a<br />
START: Tahu Kaa-Goodwillie’s passion for rugby started at the<br />
Linwood Rugby Club in 2004. He said he would like to play for<br />
the club again one day.<br />

soft spot for Linwood, though,<br />
and I am considering a return<br />
to play there one day,” Kaa-<br />
Goodwillie said.<br />
The Christchurch club was<br />
formed in 1863 and is the oldest<br />
club in the country, producing<br />
32 All Blacks including Richie<br />
McCaw.<br />
CBHS first XV coach Danny<br />
Porte said Kaa-Goodwillie is an<br />
impressive ball-runner.<br />
“He is a very physical when<br />
carrying the ball into contact<br />
and is a direct physical threat to<br />
the defensive line,” he said.<br />
“He has great footwork and<br />
great leg drive and is very<br />
professional about the way he<br />
goes about things on and off the<br />
field.”<br />
He was in the gym last week<br />
when the call came through<br />
that he had been included in the<br />
Maori side.<br />
“It hasn’t really soaked in yet,<br />
but for me, it was a satisfying end<br />
to the season and a great reward<br />
for all hard work that I had put<br />
in over the year,” he said.<br />
Kaa-Goodwillie, who<br />
measuring 185cm and weighing<br />
in at 91kg is one of the quickest<br />
players in the current CBHS<br />
CHARGE: Kaa-Goodwillie had a great season with CBHS<br />
and was a big part of the side’s second consecutive UC<br />

team, said he looks up to players<br />
like Sonny Bill Williams and<br />
Ryan Crotty. The under-18 Maori<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,<br />
most homes include at least one heat pump,<br />
if not a whole heating solution. They can<br />
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more<br />
convenient than a log burner as you just need<br />
to press a button. But how do you decide<br />
what is best? Choosing the right sized heat<br />
pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort<br />
levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore<br />
important to get professional advice from heat<br />
pump experts.<br />
The range varies from wall mounted high<br />
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,<br />
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted<br />
central heating systems allowing you to have a<br />
very discreet way of heating your whole home<br />
to a constant temperature throughout.<br />
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that<br />
is suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />
taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />
building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />
available with different heating outputs so it<br />
is important to select the correct size for your<br />
requirements that will handle the job but not<br />
be unnecessarily overpowered.<br />
Secondly, the location of your heat pump<br />
is also extremely important. The cheapest<br />
installation is a back to back where the outdoor<br />
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor<br />
unit however this is not necessarily always<br />
the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />
unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />

Choosing the right heat<br />
pump for your home<br />
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />
in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />
outside their bedroom window.<br />
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />
have come and gone over the years but there<br />
are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />
reputable and reliable products. All brands<br />
vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of<br />
systems and price, so it depends on your<br />
application as to which will be most suitable.<br />
Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />
Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are<br />
all reliable brands backed up by good technical<br />
after sales service.<br />
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />
accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />
correct installation of your heat pump, but<br />
also validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />
Other things to consider when choosing a<br />
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the<br />
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi<br />
capabilities.<br />
Heating is a major investment in your home<br />
and it is vital to get the right advice.<br />
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />
installation and servicing of all major brands<br />
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as<br />
to which system will suit your application<br />
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no<br />

Miracle weight loss fruit<br />
An extract of a small pumpkin-like fruit<br />
called Garcinia Cambogia from India &<br />
Asia has shown itself to greatly assist weight<br />
management & overall health. In fact many<br />
have found it to increase fat loss by 2 to 3<br />
times greater than normal. T.V. Dr. Oz has<br />
said it is the most effective & fastest working<br />
natural supplement to support weight loss.<br />
Even without exercise & diet changes<br />
many have found it beneficial, although even<br />
better & quicker results are often obtained<br />
with extra exercise & an improved diet.<br />
The extract of this amazing fruit is called<br />
Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) or CitriMax.<br />
Research has shown HCA to help suppress<br />
the appetite, reduce cravings, feel fuller for<br />
longer, increase energy levels, help prevent<br />
fat from being made & stored in the body,<br />
increase lean muscle mass, increase<br />
serotonin levels in the brain that<br />
help control mood & sleep<br />
(great for emotional eaters),<br />
improve cholesterol levels<br />
that may help reduce<br />
the chances of strokes<br />
& cardiovascular<br />
disease, help prevent<br />
sugar spikes as well<br />
as other health<br />
benefits.<br />
It is considered<br />
a very safe<br />
supplement<br />
(although check first<br />
if you are on medication)<br />
as it has been used for centuries<br />
as a flavouring agent & digestive aid.<br />

Need more vitality?<br />
The nutrient balance of the body is critical<br />
for optimum aging. Research has shown<br />
the body performs much better if all the<br />
required nutrients are available in sufficient<br />
quantities. The problem is it is very hard<br />
to obtain enough if any of some of these<br />
nutrients from a normal diet. Boron is one<br />
of the many nutrients with amazing benefits<br />
that is lacking in our diet. A 2014 double<br />
blind placebo controlled human clinical<br />
study of a patented form of the mineral<br />
121 Skyhawk Road<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
boron delivered significant reduction in<br />
pain, stiffness and joint comfort with 80%<br />
stopping or reducing medication and<br />
87.5% saying they had less or no stiffness<br />
in just four weeks. Boron also helps balance<br />
hormones in both men and woman and can<br />
increase fertility. It helps promote healthy<br />
muscle mass, fights diabetes, strengthens<br />
the bones and increases concentration and<br />
brain function.<br />
Pure Vitality are based on the West Coast<br />

Take a trip with<br />
Third Aged Tours<br />
Taking people aged over 50 on trips<br />
around New Zealand and the world for<br />
nearly 20 years has earned Third Age Tours<br />
a brag book that Director Brenda Corby-<br />
Yarrall says “businesses would give their<br />
eye teeth for.’’<br />
“Taking small groups of 10 – 24 people<br />
means I can operate the tour in a relaxed,<br />
companionable manner. We have an<br />
absolute blast when we’re away. It’s all about<br />
having fun”.<br />
“Most of my trips are run annually<br />
because they’re so<br />
popular, but I’m always<br />
adding new destinations<br />
- like “Sicily, South Italy<br />
& Vatican” + “Cuba”, as<br />
people ask for them.’’<br />
Brenda checks out<br />
all accommodation<br />
before booking it, and<br />
ensures the party spends<br />
at least a few nights at<br />
each place. “That way<br />
you don’t feel like you’re<br />
living out of a suitcase.’’<br />
Many clients now have<br />
made over 20 tours with<br />
us, one has completed a<br />
whopping 27 tours.<br />
“My clients tell me<br />
they keep coming back<br />
because of the size of the groups and our<br />
relaxed manner. My motto is ‘There are no<br />
strangers, only friends waiting to meet.’<br />
We gather together for breakfast at<br />
8.30am which sets us up for the day and<br />
everybody thinks is a very civilised hour.’’<br />
“I organise incredible trips at incredible<br />
prices. Look around, you can’t find better<br />
for all we include”.<br />

A family affair<br />
at local gym<br />
The Smith and Mackintosh families<br />
When Ignite Fitness was set up at the<br />
Papanui Club in early 2016, the challenge<br />
was to create an exercise atmosphere that<br />
appealed to a diverse market. One of the<br />
areas identified was the involvement of<br />
family members and groups, manager of<br />
the fitness centre Eddie Kerrigan says.<br />
“We must have done something right<br />
as we now have numbers of families who<br />
have joined up. The environment at Ignite<br />
Fitness is a safe, non-threatening one in<br />
which parents can be confident that all<br />
their family members will be looked after<br />
in a professional and caring manner.”<br />
There are three families of four, four<br />
family groups of three, and around 25<br />
family groups of two currently signed up,<br />
Eddie says.<br />
Two of those families are the Smith<br />
family and the Mackintosh family, and<br />
Eddie spoke to them about why they<br />
joined Ignite Fitness, and what they got<br />
out of it. There were a variety of reasons<br />
for joining. These included improving<br />
fitness, losing weight, keeping joints and<br />
limbs moving, stalling the effects of ageing<br />
and family bonding. The handy location<br />
of the gym was also an important factor,<br />
they said.<br />
Both families said they went to the gym<br />
two to four times a week, depending on<br />
their school and work schedules. Asked<br />
what activities they enjoyed most, in<br />
order of popularity they said these were<br />
resistance training, cardio exercise and<br />
circuit classes, though they liked taking<br />
part in all of the activities and exercises.<br />
Depending on the activity, they<br />
sometimes competed with one another to<br />
see who could achieve the most, and both<br />
sets of parents tried to be an inspiration<br />
for their families.<br />
Both families said they had gained a<br />
number of health benefits since starting<br />
at Ignite Fitness. Strength and fitness<br />
were two key beneflts, but there was also<br />
pain management and all-over physical<br />
stability. In addition to the physical<br />
benefits, they enjoyed socialising with<br />
other gym members, and their self-esteem<br />
improved.<br />
“We are delighted that families like the<br />
Smiths and the Mackintoshes get so much<br />
enjoyment from coming to our gym, and<br />
new families and groups are always more<br />
than welcome to join,” Eddie says.<br />
Ignite Fitness is open 5.30am-9.30pm<br />
Monday to Friday and 5.30am-6.30pm<br />
weekends and public holidays. To find<br />
