Victim tells sobering story<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High<br />
School students are about to get<br />
a sobering lesson.<br />
George Cairney’s life was<br />
completely changed in 2008<br />
when he sat in the passenger’s<br />
seat of a car beside a driver who<br />
had been drinking.<br />
The car crashed<br />
into a brick wall at<br />
135km/h.<br />
He will talk<br />
about the incident<br />
George<br />
Cairney<br />
Graham<br />
Clarke<br />
Nic Hill<br />
to students at the<br />
CBHS hall on<br />
<strong>October</strong> 18 from<br />
7pm.<br />
At the time Mr<br />
Cairney, 24, was<br />
17 and attended<br />
King’s College in<br />
Auckland.<br />
Taking most<br />
of the impact<br />
of the crash, he<br />
has since been<br />
legally blind and<br />
has lost his sense<br />
of taste, hearing<br />
and smell, as well<br />
as developing<br />
diabetes, epilepsy<br />
and premature<br />
ageing.<br />
After spending a month in a<br />
coma, Mr Cairney also lost his<br />
memory from a year before and<br />
after the crash.<br />
His talk will discuss the road<br />
to recovery from his injuries, as<br />
well as the decisions which led<br />
to him to get into the car on that<br />
tragic day.<br />
Mr Cairney, who lives in<br />
HIGH RISK: Crash victim George Cairney will talk about drink<br />
driving to students at CBHS on <strong>October</strong> 18.<br />
Wanaka, will be supported<br />
during the talk by his mentor<br />
and friend Graham Clarke who<br />
has his own story to tell.<br />
His son was killed after<br />
getting behind the wheel after<br />
he’d been drinking.<br />
Headmaster Nic Hill has<br />
invited students from all schools<br />
around the city and the wider<br />
community to hear the story<br />
of “sadness, recovery, love and<br />
strength”.<br />
Mr Hill said the school is<br />
encouraging students to have<br />
emotional conversations about<br />
alcohol and driving.<br />
“These are conversations that<br />
we as adults have to be starting<br />
. . . there is a parental role<br />
in making sure our boys are<br />
equipped to be safe,” he said.<br />
Playcentre<br />
destroyed<br />
by fire<br />
rushes to<br />
find new<br />
home<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
BELFAST Playcentre is racing<br />
against the clock to find a new<br />
home after its building was gutted<br />
by fire.<br />
The playcentre, next to<br />
Sheldon Park on Main North<br />
Rd, caught fire just after 1pm on<br />
Sunday.<br />
With the school term starting<br />
next week, the playcentre is<br />
determined to find a new home<br />
so parents and children aren’t<br />
affected.<br />
A pot had been left on the stove,<br />
which caught fire during a fifth<br />
birthday party.<br />
“Two men put a fire blanket<br />
on the stove but it got out of<br />
control. Then they tried to use a<br />
fire extinguisher, which ran out<br />
of foam,” playcentre co-ordinator<br />
Julie O’Rourke said.<br />
“They did everything correctly<br />
. . . it’s just one of those things that<br />
happens.”<br />
The centre was evacuated and<br />
the two men were treated at the<br />
scene for smoke inhalation but<br />
were not taken to hospital.<br />

YOUNG MEN, cars, speed<br />
and alcohol are unfortunately a<br />
perfect mix for tragedy.<br />
It was like that decades ago,<br />
and it still remains today and<br />
will no doubt into the future.<br />
Next week, two people<br />
affected by drink driving and<br />
crashes will talk to students<br />
at Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School.<br />
One is a young guy who was<br />
the passenger in a car driven by<br />
a drink driver that crashed –<br />
and one a dad who lost his son<br />
to drink driving (see page 1).<br />
How students digest the talk<br />
will inevitably be up to them.<br />
Hopefully, when they are<br />
out at the weekend, they’ll<br />
remember the talk and not<br />
get into a car driven by a mate<br />
who has been drinking, or get<br />
behind the wheel themselves<br />
after having a few.<br />

Fendalton roads worry<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THERE ARE serious concerns<br />
for pedestrian and cyclist safety<br />
on Fendalton roads.<br />
And the creation of a working<br />
party to address the issues affecting<br />
Idris, Straven and Glandovey<br />
Rds has been a long time in the<br />
making, residents say.<br />
Traffic volume through the<br />
area is out of hand, the road<br />
layout is poor and the parts of the<br />
cycleway are too narrow, resident<br />
James Wilding said.<br />
The working party was established<br />
after Mr Wilding and<br />
other Fendalton residents Ross<br />
Seal and Barbara Hann made a<br />
deputation to the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community<br />
Board regarding these issues.<br />
The group also sent photos to<br />
city council staff in February and<br />
a letter signed by 200 residents to<br />
city councillors and the mayor.<br />
Working party members have<br />
not yet been confirmed but it<br />
will be made up of residents,<br />
including Mr Wilding, as well as<br />
community board members and<br />
city council staff.<br />
The residents want to create<br />
a “living street” atmosphere,<br />
which promotes pedestrians and<br />
discourages cars.<br />
“The board is keen to work<br />
FEARS: A working party has been established for the streets<br />
around Idris, Glandovey and Straven Rds to improve pedestrian<br />
and cyclist safety.<br />

productively with affected parties<br />
on the issues that have been<br />
raised about traffic volumes,” city<br />
council manager planning and<br />
delivery transport Lynette Ellis<br />
said.<br />
A date for its first meeting has<br />
not yet been set but residents are<br />
keen to address the mounting<br />
problems.<br />
Mr Wilding said there are a<br />
large number of trucks using<br />
the roads, which are classified as<br />
minor arterial or collector.<br />
“We have freight routes, for<br />
example Blenheim Rd. Those four<br />
and six-lane roads are the ones<br />
freight should us,” he said.<br />
Part of the cycle lane is 60cm<br />
wide. Under the city council’s<br />
guidelines cycle lanes should be<br />
at least 1.5m wide, not including<br />
the gutter, Mr Wilding said.<br />
And he said it’s not uncommon<br />
for vehicles to cross into the<br />
cycleways, which he has photographed.<br />
“Children must be, and feel<br />
safe, on our roads, especially<br />
in residential areas and near<br />
schools. The city council ought<br />
to help ensure a safe and healthy<br />

cycleway on Idris Rd is 60cm<br />
but according to city council<br />
regulation, it should be 1.5m.<br />

city for residents,” Mr Wilding<br />
said.<br />
The area has the highest density<br />
of residential heritage buildings<br />
in the city – which have been also<br />
been affected by the number of<br />
heavy vehicles, the residents said.<br />
“We seem to be creating a quiet<br />
largely traffic free CBD and busy<br />
suburbs. It is important the safety<br />
and character of suburbs right<br />
across the city is not lost as a result<br />
of post-earthquake changes,”<br />
Mr Wilding said.<br />

Build roads and the traffic will come<br />
Papanui city<br />
councillor<br />
and avid<br />
cyclist Mike<br />
Davidson<br />
writes<br />
about the<br />
major issue<br />
afflicting<br />
his ward and what<br />
he thinks would be a<br />
good alternative during<br />
Biketober<br />
One key issue facing the Papanui<br />
Ward, and the city, at the<br />
moment is traffic congestion.<br />
By 2041 it is predicted that<br />
there will be an additional<br />
70,000 vehicle movements within<br />
the four avenues every day.<br />
Work is also currently underway<br />
on the Northern Corridor,<br />
which is due to be completed<br />
within the next three years.<br />
But I struggle to see what<br />
benefit the city will see from this<br />
$240 million roading project,<br />
which channels non-ratepaying<br />
residents into the heart of St<br />
Albans as they head into the<br />
central city.<br />
The built environment influences<br />
behaviour and it will not<br />
take long before this new fourlane<br />
highway will be at capacity.<br />
So what is the answer?<br />
Modal shift – encouraging<br />
those who can, to use a different<br />
form of transport instead of a<br />
single occupancy vehicle – walking,<br />
cycling, catching a bus or<br />
car pooling.<br />
Perhaps if the money for this<br />
project had been invested into<br />
a decent passenger rail service<br />
from the north we could have<br />
had a true opportunity to influence<br />
behaviour for the better<br />
and created a truly sustainable<br />
public transport option.<br />
However, it would appear that<br />
numerous authorities and agencies<br />
have never taken seriously<br />
the possibility of passenger rail.<br />
The focus seems to be on the<br />
bus network as our public transport<br />
option even though the<br />
bus routes are not continuously<br />
separated from vehicles and<br />
are still forced to deal with the<br />
congestion street fight.<br />
Plus changes to the bus network<br />
now make it more difficult<br />
for a lot of people who have<br />
multiple changeovers and longer<br />
waiting times.<br />
With 50 per cent of car trips in<br />
the city under 5km we need to<br />
encourage the uptake of cycling<br />
and walking as an alternative<br />
mode of transport.<br />
Survey after survey show<br />
that there are a large number<br />
of people wanting to cycle, but<br />
choose not to because they feel<br />
it is unsafe. The major cycleway<br />
programme is designed to remove<br />
this safety concern barrier<br />
and encourage more people to<br />
take up cycling.<br />
CONGESTION:<br />
Work turning<br />
Cranford St<br />
into a fourlane<br />
major<br />
arterial is<br />
about to<br />
begin, but<br />
city councillor<br />
Mike Davidson<br />
isn’t sure the<br />
money is<br />
being well<br />
spent. PHOTO:<br />
GEOFF SLOAN <br />
There was never an expectation<br />
that the day these were<br />
completed there would be hundreds<br />
of new cyclists as it takes<br />
time to change culture.<br />
However, from cycleways<br />
completed so far, the numbers<br />
using these cycleways are<br />
already exceeding the predicted<br />
volumes.<br />
It is important that the cycleway<br />
programme is completed,<br />
public transport becomes more<br />
user-friendly and our transport<br />
culture is changed. If we don’t the<br />
congestion we are seeing today<br />
will pale in comparison to what<br />
will happen in the near future.<br />
We need our streets and transport<br />
network to work for everyone<br />
no matter what age, ability<br />
or form of transport used.<br />
Readers respond to a<br />
Nor’West <strong>News</strong> article<br />
regarding businesses<br />
on Cranford St worried<br />
Northern Arterial upgrades<br />
will force them to close<br />
Conrad Fitz-Gerald – A bit<br />
naive to expect the city council to<br />
do something that actually helps<br />
local businesses and residents.<br />
Maree Clayton – Less cars!<br />
More trains. No-brainier. Should<br />
have been a priority, immediately<br />
post-quake. South and north out<br />
of the city. Quicker, easy. Less cars<br />
on road, saving all round and less<br />
stress. Sadly, too many missed<br />
opportunities from a bunch of<br />
bumbling bureaucrats. Need<br />
an airport rail but alas we got a<br />
bloody archway.<br />
Jan Driscoll – Heavens,<br />
there is a bike in the picture . . . a<br />
rare sight indeed. Cranford St is<br />
already a nightmare, especially<br />
around 3 to 6pm. And with heavy<br />
parking on both sides around<br />
the garage and shopping centre<br />
that will evidently be going and<br />
then a massive expensive housing<br />
development along there, you<br />
have got a disaster in the making.<br />
Feel really sorry for the businesses<br />
around the Innes Rd and Cranford<br />
St corner. Another example<br />
of top quality planning. Adding<br />
another lane to the Northern<br />
Arterial won’t fix it either. Get rail<br />

Rob White – Well people<br />
have had at least 30 years to get<br />
used to this since it was first<br />
planned, and put off, and then<br />
off, and then back on again. The<br />
bigger problem is the city council<br />
actually agreeing to housing in<br />
the swamp on the other side of<br />
Cranford St.<br />
Sylvia Oliver – It is so hard<br />
on businesses after seven years<br />
you would think things would<br />
improve but, no, they get worse<br />
all the time. One wonders why<br />
our city council and so-called<br />
Government cannot intervene<br />
to protect the small businesses.<br />
Makes me so angry.<br />
Beverly Jackson – I live on<br />
Cranford St. They’ve given no<br />
consideration to the residents<br />
trying to get out of their driveways.<br />
It’s hard enough now.<br />
Michelle Green – Traffic<br />
today was horrendous, I queued<br />
for ages on Cranford St bumperto-bumper<br />
all way from Placemakers<br />
to Main North Rd.<br />
Readers also respond<br />
to the article regarding<br />
Bishopdale New World<br />
winning its battle to display<br />
alcohol on the ends of<br />
aisles<br />
Glenis Shaw – I don’t think<br />
it makes any difference. I like<br />
it being sold in supermarkets,<br />
easier and cheaper. Wine consumption<br />
is not a problem to the<br />
majority of people.<br />
Geoff Oscar O’Connell – I<br />
just wish Bishopdale New<br />
World stocked more Monteith’s<br />
Pilsner.<br />
Lynda Byrnes – The majority<br />
of people who shop in<br />
supermarkets are sensible, don’t<br />
let the few idiots ruin for the rest<br />
of us. We buy our alcohol and<br />
consume it sensibly with friends<br />
over meals. They don’t ban the<br />
caffeine drinks and other things<br />
that effect our teenagers, why<br />
make it hard to buy alcohol for<br />
consenting adults?<br />
Sharren Wilson – If they<br />
have a licence to sell alcohol, it<br />
makes absolutely no difference<br />
whatsoever where it is placed in<br />
the aisle.<br />

responsibility. Are you going<br />
to take away all my freedom of<br />
choice because some people can’t<br />
handle their drink or they are<br />
addicted to cigarettes, chocolate,<br />
Coca Cola, sugar, McDonald’s?<br />
Like I said personal responsibility<br />
Audrey Leslie – Alcoholic<br />
products should not be sold in<br />
supermarkets. It’s always the<br />
ones who can least afford it that<br />
are tempted to purchase alcohol<br />
when they go into the supermarket<br />
for food. I once watched<br />
two young men looking in the<br />
meat section, actually picked up<br />
a meat package, then returned<br />
it to the freezer and purchased<br />
a carton of beers instead. Now<br />
that’s sad.<br />
Ann Vernon – Alcohol is a<br />
dangerous drug. I personally<br />
think a separate discrete area is<br />
appropriate. In some supermarkets<br />
you have to walk through<br />
the alcohol section to access the<br />
shop. We normalise binge drinking<br />
in New Zealand and minimise<br />
the serious harm it causes.<br />
I try to limit this normalising<br />
alcohol use with my children.<br />
Having a different area does<br />
not penalise adults in any way.<br />
We no longer have cigarettes on<br />
display. Why not the same for<br />
alcohol?<br />

sort somewhere out . . . we won’t let<br />
it affect the families,” she said.<br />
But Ms O’Rourke said there<br />
would be a “shortfall” in terms of<br />
the insurance payout due to high<br />
demolition costs in the city.<br />
“We’ve had huge support from<br />
the community and playcentres<br />
around the country,” she said.<br />
Belfast Community Network<br />
chief executive Lynda Goodrick<br />
said the network of more than<br />
15 groups will rally behind the<br />
playcentre. “We’re gutted, it’s devastating<br />
for the families. But we’re<br />
doing everything we can to help<br />
support them,” she said.<br />

Breastfeeding programme recognised<br />
ST GEORGE’S Hospital staff<br />
have been honoured for their<br />
commitment to breastfeeding.<br />
“Breastfeeding is important<br />
and helps to lay the foundation<br />
for good health in infancy<br />
for mothers and babies,”<br />
New Zealand Breastfeeding<br />
Alliance executive officer Jane<br />
Cartwright said.<br />
She said for nine years staff at<br />
the hospital’s maternity centre<br />
have “served as a beacon in the<br />
region” for their standards of<br />
breastfeeding support and care<br />
for new parents.<br />
“Since the beginning of<br />
this year, about 800 women<br />
have discharged from St<br />
George’s facilities exclusively<br />
breastfeeding their babies -<br />
this is a great start towards<br />
breastfeeding babies when they<br />
return home,” Ms Cartwright<br />
said.<br />
St George’s charge midwife<br />
Andrea Robinson emphasised<br />
the importance breastfeeding<br />
plays in the reduction in rates<br />
of childhood infections and<br />
protection against later health<br />
risks.<br />
Ms Robinson said that<br />
breastfeeding is one of the<br />
smallest investments a country<br />
can make to build its future<br />
prosperity.<br />
“We should all be proud<br />
of being an integral part of<br />
providing such a precious<br />
investment to our women and<br />
to the wider health of<br />
our community,” Ms Robinson<br />
said.<br />
SERVICE: (From left) – Jane Cartwright, Sandra Wilson,<br />
Julia Daly, Andrea Robinson, and Maree Lewington have<br />
been recognised for their commitment to breastfeeding. <br />

Expansion likely for community centre<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE FOOTPRINT of the new<br />
St Albans Community Centre<br />
is set to expand.<br />
As a means of providing<br />
green space for the new<br />
facility, the city council has<br />
approved the Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board’s recommendation<br />
to purchase a<br />
neighbouring property.<br />
Last year city councillor<br />
Mike Davidson spoke to the<br />
owners of the property, which<br />
is at 130 Caledonian Rd to<br />
see whether the sale could go<br />
ahead.<br />
However, he would not<br />
release details of that conversation<br />
as they were “commercially<br />
sensitive.”<br />
The property is next door to<br />
the Caledonian Rd side of the<br />
community centre site.<br />
Cr Davidson said the current<br />
community centre plans<br />
took up most of the current<br />
site, and once car parking was<br />
included, there would be little<br />
room for green space.<br />
City council general<br />
manager corporate services<br />
Bruce Rendall said as the city<br />
council is “still in negotiations<br />
around acquiring an option<br />
on the land” further comment<br />
is not appropriate.<br />
The matter has been referred<br />
to the 2018-28 Long Term<br />
Plan preparation process.<br />
It has been delegated Mr<br />
Rendall to negotiate the purchase.<br />

Thank you Northern Christchurch<br />
for your huge support and<br />
endorsement. I was honoured<br />
by an electorate majority<br />
increase from 2,500 in 2014 to<br />
over <strong>10</strong>,000 in <strong>2017</strong> that tells<br />
me you value accessibility and<br />
commitment to your area.<br />
over the past three years, I have<br />
enjoyed being a hands-on MP<br />
who has strived to be accessible.<br />
During the elections, I received<br />
great feedback that residents<br />
value being able to access me<br />
through my Belfast office, my<br />
evening meetings and other<br />
events I arranged to connect to<br />
you over the past three years.<br />
I look forward to continuing to<br />
work hard to advocate on your<br />
behalf in Parliament and to ensure<br />
our communities are resourced<br />
to meet the demands of a rapidly<br />
growing area.<br />

It was great to catch up with<br />
young achievers in North<br />
Christchurch recently. I met<br />
up with April McLennan in<br />
Northwood to hear more about<br />
Limitless, which she founded as a<br />
young school leaver to empower<br />
young New Zealanders to connect<br />
to opportunities and excel in the<br />
fields of work that inspire them.<br />
April is one of four recipients for<br />
the <strong>2017</strong> Minister for Youth’s<br />
International Leadership Award<br />
and it’s exciting to have this<br />
innovative social enterprise<br />
initiative in our area.<br />
I enjoyed presenting the Belfast-<br />
Kaiapoi rotary Club’s Young Totara<br />
Award at their presentation<br />
in Belfast recently to a very<br />
outstanding young recipient. Well<br />
done to Alexandra McCracken for<br />
her academic, social and ethical<br />
achievements.<br />

CONSTRUCTION is<br />
under way on a fifth set<br />
of traffic lights outside<br />
Northlands Shopping<br />
Centre.<br />
The aim of the signals<br />
is to improve pedestrian<br />
safety, which has been<br />
compromised by people<br />
taking a large number of<br />
unsafe crosses between the<br />
bus stops on Main North<br />
Rd.<br />
Work on the pedestrian<br />
crossing on Main North<br />
Rd is beginning several<br />
months earlier than<br />
planned.<br />

opportunity arising.<br />
“An opportunity has<br />
arose to construct the<br />
crossing as a variation to<br />
an existing contract, which<br />
has mean that the project<br />
time frames can be brought<br />
forward,” Ms Ellis said.<br />
The crossing got the<br />
green light from the city<br />
council in May and will<br />
cost $450,000.<br />
“The crossing will provide<br />
a key link between the<br />
bus stops and Northlands<br />
Shopping Centre,” Ms Ellis<br />
said.<br />
However, concerns were<br />
raised by the Shirley-Papanui<br />

Main North Rd already<br />
has four sets of lights<br />
encompassing the mall on<br />
Langdons Rd, Halliwell<br />
Ave, Grassmere St and<br />
Sawyers Arms Rd.<br />
City council staff investigated<br />
and found the new<br />
signals would only add<br />
three to six seconds to the<br />
journey.<br />
And city councillor Mike<br />
Davidson said there was no<br />
compromise for people’s<br />
safety.<br />
“Pedestrian safety<br />
trumps a few seconds delay<br />
to motorists,” Cr Davidson<br />
said.<br />
The signals will be timed<br />
with the other sets of lights<br />
to keep delays to a minimum.<br />

‘Explosion of colour’ rewards gardeners<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE LOVELOCKS have done<br />
it again.<br />
Northwood residents Brian<br />
and Janet Lovelock came away<br />
with the premier gold at this<br />
season’s spring gardening awards<br />
from the Canterbury Horticultural<br />
Society.<br />
The couple also added two<br />
gold awards from the Christchurch<br />
Beautifying Association’s<br />
spring garden awards to their<br />
collection in the open and secret<br />
garden categories.<br />
“We’re pretty proud, we’ve<br />
always been big gardeners,” Mrs<br />
Lovelock said, they spend almost<br />
every day outdoors.<br />
She said the trophies will be<br />
put in a display case at their<br />
house until they have to be<br />
returned for the next round of<br />
summer judging.<br />
Which she said the pair are<br />
already working towards.<br />
“Some of my seedlings are already<br />
coming up. It never stops,”<br />
Mrs Lovelock said.<br />
Although the Lovelocks spend<br />
every day in the garden together,<br />
they wouldn’t often be caught<br />
sitting out there having a cup of<br />
tea.<br />
“If we sit out there, we always<br />
spot something that could be<br />
better or needs to be fixed and<br />
keep working,” she said.<br />
But Mrs Lovelock said there<br />
is nothing more rewarding than<br />
their garden.<br />
“You get the tiniest handful of<br />
seed and watch it turn into an<br />
explosion of colour in the garden<br />
displays,” she said.<br />
The Lovelock’s spring award<br />
winning garden included tulips,<br />
polyanthas and shrubs like rhododendrons<br />
and azaleas.<br />
But come November they’ll<br />
be pulling out the annuals and<br />
planting their summer garden.<br />

Food for fundraiser<br />
PRETZELS, THAI jelly, tapas,<br />
Japanese curry, rice balls, sushi,<br />
waffles and lolly cake.<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School<br />
students tried dishes from<br />
different countries.<br />
Dean of international<br />
students Louise Stanton said the<br />
International Club, headed by<br />
Amy Chen, organised the event<br />
as a fundraiser for St Andrew’s<br />
High School in Tonga.<br />
One of the sisters from St<br />
Andrew’s spoke to the school<br />
last year and the Rangi students<br />
were all struck by the struggle<br />
the school still faced following<br />
Cyclone Winston early last year.<br />
Amy said being able to give<br />
back is a very important part of<br />
being a global citizen.<br />
“St Andrew’s in Tonga<br />
struggles to find enough money<br />
to do what it needs to do. Many<br />
of the families are unemployed<br />
and because the school is funded<br />
from fees, this means there isn’t<br />
enough money for even the<br />
basics like books and other dayto-day<br />
needs,” she said.<br />
Popular food at the lunch<br />
included chocolate and fruit<br />
waffles, Japanese rice balls and<br />
the Thai jelly.<br />
Ploy Kriangkriwakin and<br />
classmate Ploy Laolerchai were<br />
keeping the secret recipe for<br />
their fun-shaped Thai jellies<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
BIG APPLE: India Borelli,<br />
originally from New York,<br />
made pretzel sticks for the<br />
international food day. <br />
under wraps.<br />
“There’s coconut and, well<br />
that’s all I can say really,” said<br />
Ploy.<br />
“It’s sweet and delicious that’s<br />
for sure.”<br />
India Borelli, originally from<br />
New York, made pretzel sticks,<br />
clearly a nod to her birthplace.<br />
During International Week,<br />
$1700 was raised for St Andrew’s<br />
High School and another<br />
fundraiser is planned before the<br />
end of the year.<br />
RESTING: The group went to the high ropes course in<br />
Southshore to face their fears.<br />

Expertise Built On Family Heritage<br />
For Christchurch real estate agent<br />
Pip Sutton, real estate is a family<br />
heritage spanning four generations<br />
over approximately 93 years.<br />
It all started with her great-grandfather<br />
Frederick in 1924, out of Lyttelton. Her<br />
grandfather, Fred, continued working in<br />
Lyttelton, setting up an office in London<br />
Street, which still stands today.<br />
Pip’s father Dave became a partner in Simes<br />
real estate in Christchurch in the early 1970s<br />
until 2005 when it was sold for retirement<br />
purposes. From the age of just 18 months Pip<br />
became part of it, with many early memories<br />
of attending property auctions, visiting<br />
building sites and regular office visits where<br />
the auction gavel and lectern were often<br />
used as play toys.<br />
“I grew up in the business,” she says. “During<br />
school holidays I worked in Dad’s office. I<br />
spent a lot of time relieving as receptionist,<br />
in accounts and assisting putting marketing<br />
packages and the likes together, oh and lots<br />
of Sunday drives around new developments<br />
within the city and Lyttelton Harbour with<br />
the family.”<br />
On leaving school Pip gained a Bachelor<br />
of Commerce & Management degree with<br />
a marketing major. She gained valuable<br />
experience and skills working as a top sales<br />
and marketer for multi-national market<br />
leaders within New Zealand and the UK.<br />
In 2005, Pip returned to Christchurch to<br />
commence her real estate career under the<br />
guidance and wisdom of her father.<br />
“This involved long hours of intensive<br />
learning. He passed on an in-depth<br />
understanding of Christchurch’s land and<br />
development right through from the early<br />
Lyttelton days. This included understanding<br />
district plans, zoning, the development<br />
process. How to research properties deeply<br />
to uncover potentials for new owners. How<br />
to listen to people and respond to their needs.<br />
“He passed on that little bit of magic,<br />
which had been handed down from three<br />
previous generations of learnings from great<br />
depressions, World Wars and within my<br />
career, the Global Financial Crisis and pre<br />
and post earthquake environments.”<br />
In 2014, Pip joined Ray White Real Estate,<br />
because she liked their in-depth attention to<br />
real estate law and management style at the<br />
Cashmere office, plus being a family brand<br />
itself spanning back to the early 1900s, she<br />
recognised the more caring nature of the<br />
brand, perhaps due to over <strong>10</strong>0 years of<br />
learnings being passed down too.<br />
“You are working with people during a<br />
milestone time in their life, they are often<br />
already under stress. A real estate agent’s job<br />
is to assist in relieving the stress, not adding<br />
to it.”<br />
Pip has become a successful and highly<br />
regarded real estate salesperson across<br />
the city. For her, the most enjoyable and<br />
important part of the process is to spend<br />
time with both buyers and sellers, using<br />
her in-depth knowledge of the Canterbury<br />
property environment to assist in achieving<br />
the best possible outcome for her clients.<br />
As she puts it: “My measure of success is the<br />
quality of the results I achieve for my clients,<br />
not the number of houses I sell. I would<br />
rather take more time getting my client into<br />
a better position than collecting listings and<br />
making quick sales.”<br />

Love your dentures<br />
Is it time to swap your generic denture appearance<br />
for a beautiful, natural looking smile?<br />
Internationally renowned dental<br />
technician Richard Greenlees,<br />
PGDipCDTech (University of Otago) of<br />
Lovebite is the person to call.<br />
His special point of difference is<br />
rebuilding what he calls the Oral<br />
Architecture, the structure and shape of<br />
a patient’s face that is often lost following<br />
years of wearing dentures.<br />
Lovebite dentures address problems<br />
that can arise due to years of the patient<br />
wearing incorrectly fitting or poorly<br />
functioning dentures, such as poor<br />
occlusion (the way the teeth come<br />
together), aesthetics, function and<br />
hygiene.<br />
An intricate knowledge and<br />
understanding of facial features allows<br />
Richard to return facial tissues back to the<br />
correct position, reform lips, and restore<br />
beauty and confidence.<br />
Richard provides a friendly, discreet<br />
service and personally guides his patients<br />
through the transformation process to<br />
create teeth with small nuances in the<br />
fabrication, colour and shape.<br />
Carmen, a recent patient said in a<br />
thank you letter to Richard, “I highly<br />
recommend your craftsmanship to anyone<br />
wanting a natural looking smile. Because<br />
you do your work in front of your client,<br />
one is able to see how meticulous and<br />
dedicated you are to ending up with a top<br />
class result. My dentures are amazing.<br />
They look like one’s own natural teeth. So<br />
much time, effort and energy went into<br />
the end result. Simply the best.”<br />
Richard’s patients have varying needs,<br />
from full denture replacement, to first<br />
time immediate dentures, implant<br />
supported dentures and metal partial<br />
dentures.<br />
Since he started making teeth in<br />
1980 Richard has travelled extensively,<br />
accumulating vast knowledge through<br />
training and working in Japan, and<br />
running his own practice in the<br />
prestigious Harley Street, London for 15<br />
years. He continues to teach his world<br />
leading techniques globally.<br />
Richard also creates porcelain crowns<br />
and veneers, working with like-minded<br />
dental professionals.<br />
A beautiful new Lovebite smile<br />
resembles nature and reflects the patient’s<br />
character. It boosts confidence and helps<br />
patients to look and feel years younger.<br />

of stunning Lovebite dentures, visit<br />

AFTER<br />
These before and after photographs<br />
perfectly highlight the facial<br />
rejuvenation that can be achieved<br />
with a Lovebite denture (right).<br />
The patient’s facial structure and<br />
shape have been restored, with her<br />
beautiful new smile transforming<br />
the way she looks and feels.<br />
True<br />
Who thought<br />
DENTURES<br />
and false!<br />
could look this<br />
natural?<br />
• Full dentures • Metal partial dentures<br />
• First-time immediate dentures • Implant supported dentures<br />
STUNNING: A beautiful new denture for<br />
a young female patient<br />
These stunning lovebite full upper and<br />
lower dentures have been expertly crafted by<br />
internationally-recognised dental technician<br />
Richard Greenlees at his Christchurch studio.<br />
The combination of Richard’s skill, experience<br />
(including 15 years in London’s prestigious<br />
Harley Street) knowledge and revolutionary<br />
techniques allow him to create beautiful<br />
bespoke false teeth that truly resemble those<br />
in nature and reflect each patient’s individuality<br />
and unique character.<br />

squares<br />
6 Vine-sweet mini peppers,<br />

Syrup<br />

¼ cup Sugar<br />
1 bowl Greek yoghurt, creme<br />
fraiche, vanilla ice cream or<br />
coconut yoghurt for a dairy-free<br />

Directions<br />
Place whole tangelos in a large<br />
pot and cover with plenty of cold<br />
water. Boil for two hours, drain<br />
and allow to cool.<br />
Heat the oven to 180 deg C.<br />
Grease and line a 21cm round<br />
spring form cake tin.<br />
Cut tangelos in half and<br />
remove any pips. Place fruit<br />
(skin, pith, flesh and all) in a<br />
food processor and blitz until<br />
smooth.<br />
Add all other ingredients<br />
and blitz until smooth and well<br />
combined.<br />
Pour into prepared cake tin<br />
and bake for one hour or until a<br />
skewer inserted into the middle<br />
of the cake comes out clean.<br />
Cover cake with tin foil half way<br />
through cooking time to avoid<br />
the top burning.<br />
Remove cake from the oven,<br />

for the marinade and place in a<br />
resealable plastic bag.<br />
Cut the steak into 3cm cubes,<br />
add to the marinade and move<br />
it around so it is evenly<br />
covered.<br />
Discard any long stems<br />
from the mushrooms. Add to<br />
the marinade and move them<br />
around.<br />
Seal the bag. Refrigerate for<br />
at least eight hours. This is the<br />
secret of the well-flavoured<br />
kebabs.<br />
Thread the steak, onion,<br />
mini peppers and mushrooms<br />
alternately onto four long metal<br />
skewers.<br />

High School<br />
As the weather gets warmer and the<br />
evenings get longer it is the ideal time to get<br />
out of the house and learn something new<br />
and meet some new people by taking part<br />

offer at Papanui High School for Term 4<br />
beginning from Tuesday 24 <strong>October</strong>.<br />
From Art to Yoga and everything in<br />
between we are sure regardless of your<br />
age or interest you will find something<br />
to tempt you. Classes at Papanui High<br />
School are held in a warm, friendly relaxed<br />
environment and our tutors are supportive<br />
and well qualified in their chosen fields.<br />
A new course on offer is Creative Candle<br />
Making which will teach you to create<br />

melts, either for yourself or ideal as a gift.<br />
Discover more about soy wax, fragrance,<br />
wick selection and trouble shooting<br />
commom candle making issues. This is a<br />
hands on course where you will make 3 full<br />

Ensuring a safe<br />
work place<br />
Learning first aid is not only a part of<br />
ensuring a safe work place, but also an<br />
integral part of our engagement with<br />
the wider community. We all learn the<br />
necessary skills to ensure that in times of<br />
emergency we are able to assist our work<br />
colleagues, but are we able to take these<br />
skills home, into the community or on to<br />
the sports field?<br />
Not all work places are the same and<br />
the injury risk for each place can be<br />
wide and variable. The office attended by<br />
administrators does not carry the same<br />
risk as those people working with heavy<br />
machinery, or perhaps at some distance<br />
from a regular ambulance service. It is<br />
therefore essential that you pick the right<br />
first aid course to suit all of your activities<br />
– both professional and social.<br />
Take, for example, an office worker who<br />
does not have a high risk work environment<br />
and whose concern might be to ensure<br />
that they can deal with minor cuts and<br />
superficial injuries, or the ability to perform<br />
effective CPR. These skills can be achieved<br />
on a course of eight hours duration and<br />
would generally fit into low to medium<br />
risk area. But take this same person on to<br />
a sports field either as a spectator or player<br />
when a higher level injury occurs. The<br />
eight hour course covering unit standards<br />
6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does<br />
not cover head neck and spinal injuries,<br />
eye injuries, hypothermia and poisonings.<br />
The majority of injuries occur outside of<br />
the work place, in fact one in three injuries<br />
occurs in the home, making it the most<br />
common place for injuries to happen.<br />
New Zealand children are twice as likely<br />
to die through injury as children who live<br />
in Australia. They mostly die as a result<br />
of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the<br />
home. Fatalities from leisure and sport are<br />
not far behind those in the workplace.<br />
The wider 12 hour course teaches the<br />
additional unit standard 6400 and provides<br />
a wide knowledge base for medium to high<br />
risk environments. This course covers<br />
many of the skills required to deal with<br />
the most common injuries, such as falls<br />
(which can result in head, neck and spinal<br />
injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />
such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />
If you are not sure on the course best<br />
suited to your needs, ask your accredited<br />
first aid training provider. They can explain<br />
the course content and give you options<br />
that will best suit your needs. Look beyond<br />
the workplace and consider your family<br />
and your location. Check that you have a<br />
good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date<br />
with replenished items, and that everyone<br />
knows where it is located.<br />

Risingholme Community<br />
Centre Term 3<br />
Term 4 sees us continuing to offer<br />
a range of classes across the city at<br />
Risingholme Community Centre,<br />
Riccarton High School, Shirley Boys High<br />
School, Christchurch Girls High School<br />
and Hornby High School, many of which<br />
have become a tradition of Risingholme<br />
Community Centre programme. So what<br />
better way to prepare for summer than<br />
to get out and learn something new by<br />
enrolling in a course of interest – maybe<br />
something that you have tried before and<br />
want to explore further or perhaps you<br />
would like to try something new, or to<br />
meet new people with similar interests.<br />
It has been proven that Lifelong Learning<br />
has many benefits with the obvious ones<br />
being the continuation of a learning<br />
journey, learning a new skill, increased<br />
confidence, meeting new people and much<br />
more. Our full range of classes can be<br />
viewed on our website www.risingholme.<br />
org.nz<br />
Are you Digitally challenged in our<br />
ever changing digital world? Or if you<br />
are not familiar with using a computer,<br />
we offer classes on Computer Basics or<br />
maybe something more advanced such as<br />
Word, Excel or Photoshop. If you would<br />
like to know more about these or other<br />
classes that we are running, we would<br />
love to hear from, you can enrol via<br />
our website www.risingholme.org.<br />

New and exciting at Risingholme<br />
Community Centre is Zentangle.<br />
What is this you might say - well if<br />
you can’t sit still enough for yoga, or<br />
your mind wanders in meditation,<br />
or you would like a creative aspect to<br />
your mindfulness, this may work for<br />
you. This method of drawing does not<br />
require any previous drawing ability,<br />
it can be a 15 minute practice you can<br />
build into your everyday, or you can<br />
explore some of the more creative ways<br />
you can then use this design practise to<br />
make your own cards, images, or decorate<br />

Fast turnaround for<br />
minor panel repairs<br />
As we all know, having our car off the road for minor<br />
panel repairs can be frustrating, but for customers of<br />
SMART Repairs in Lichfield Street, it isn’t a problem.<br />
“With our focus on fast turnaround,<br />
getting customers back on the road<br />
as quickly as possible is the way we do<br />
business,” says owner Brian Caffell, who<br />
runs the long-established panel shop<br />
with his wife Maxine.<br />
In addition, customers have the<br />
benefit of a courtesy car, so they can stay<br />
on the road while their vehicle is in the<br />
workshop. There is also a free pick-up<br />
and delivery service available if required.<br />
Customers can be assured of topquality<br />
workmanship at SMART<br />
Repairs, with the workshop team having<br />
over 40 years’ industry experience<br />
between them, with services including<br />
panelbeating, spraypainting, paintless<br />
dent removal, (PDR) and mag wheel<br />
repairs and painting.<br />
As specialists in small to medium<br />
panel repair work, no job is too small for<br />
SMART Repairs, and with their friendly,<br />
personal approach they make it easy for<br />
customers who may be unsure what to<br />
do if their vehicle has been scratched or<br />
dented.<br />
The team also provides quotes for all<br />
insurance companies, and carry out<br />
those repairs quickly and efficiently.<br />
“We take pride in our work and ensure<br />
that our customers are happy with the<br />
results,” says Maxine.<br />
SMART Repairs are currently looking<br />
at expanding and incorporating a mobile<br />
division, so they can come to you for<br />
minor paint and interior trim repairs,<br />
PDR and mag wheel repairs.<br />
SMART Repairs is located at 272<br />
Lichfield Street, at the Fitzgerald<br />
Avenue end. Opening hours are<br />
Monday to Friday, 8am-4.30pm.<br />

LUTHER AND LLOYD:<br />
TWO OUTRAGEOUS HERETICS?<br />
SIX-WEEK COURSE<br />
This year marks the 500th Anniversary of Martin Luther<br />
nailing his thesis to the church in his German town of<br />
Wittenberg (<strong>October</strong> 31). An action that unexpectedly<br />
sparked the Reformation. This year also celebrates the<br />
50th Anniversary of the heresy trial of Lloyd Geering<br />
here in Aotearoa New Zealand. An event that was most<br />
divisive for many of our churches.<br />
This course will examine the huge impact of the two<br />
men in their time, noting their significance for today.<br />
Attention will be drawn to the different theological<br />
