Victim tells sobering story 

• By Julia Evans 

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High 

School students are about to get 

a sobering lesson. 

George Cairney’s life was 

completely changed in 2008 

when he sat in the passenger’s 

seat of a car beside a driver who 

had been drinking. 

The car crashed 

into a brick wall at 

135km/h. 

He will talk 

about the incident 

George 

Cairney 

Graham 

Clarke 

Nic Hill 

to students at the 

CBHS hall on 

October 18 from 

7pm. 

At the time Mr 

Cairney, 24, was 

17 and attended 

King’s College in 

Auckland. 

Taking most 

of the impact 

of the crash, he 

has since been 

legally blind and 

has lost his sense 

of taste, hearing 

and smell, as well 

as developing 

diabetes, epilepsy 

and premature 

ageing. 

After spending a month in a 

coma, Mr Cairney also lost his 

memory from a year before and 

after the crash. 

His talk will discuss the road 

to recovery from his injuries, as 

well as the decisions which led 

to him to get into the car on that 

tragic day. 

Mr Cairney, who lives in 

HIGH RISK: Crash victim George Cairney will talk about drink 

driving to students at CBHS on October 18. 

Wanaka, will be supported 

during the talk by his mentor 

and friend Graham Clarke who 

has his own story to tell. 

His son was killed after 

getting behind the wheel after 

he’d been drinking. 

Headmaster Nic Hill has 

invited students from all schools 

around the city and the wider 

community to hear the story 

of “sadness, recovery, love and 

strength”. 

Mr Hill said the school is 

encouraging students to have 

emotional conversations about 

alcohol and driving. 

“These are conversations that 

we as adults have to be starting 

. . . there is a parental role 

in making sure our boys are 

equipped to be safe,” he said. 

Playcentre 

destroyed 

by fire 

rushes to 

find new 

home 


BELFAST Playcentre is racing 

against the clock to find a new 

home after its building was gutted 

by fire. 

The playcentre, next to 

Sheldon Park on Main North 

Rd, caught fire just after 1pm on 

Sunday. 

With the school term starting 

next week, the playcentre is 

determined to find a new home 

so parents and children aren’t 

affected. 

A pot had been left on the stove, 

which caught fire during a fifth 

birthday party. 

“Two men put a fire blanket 

on the stove but it got out of 

control. Then they tried to use a 

fire extinguisher, which ran out 

of foam,” playcentre co-ordinator 

Julie O’Rourke said. 

“They did everything correctly 

. . . it’s just one of those things that 

happens.” 

The centre was evacuated and 

the two men were treated at the 

scene for smoke inhalation but 

were not taken to hospital.

NOR’WEST NEWS 

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News................................3, 7-11 

YOUNG MEN, cars, speed 

and alcohol are unfortunately a 

perfect mix for tragedy. 

It was like that decades ago, 

and it still remains today and 

will no doubt into the future. 

Next week, two people 

affected by drink driving and 

crashes will talk to students 

at Christchurch Boys’ High 

School. 

One is a young guy who was 

the passenger in a car driven by 

a drink driver that crashed – 

and one a dad who lost his son 

to drink driving (see page 1). 

How students digest the talk 

will inevitably be up to them. 

Hopefully, when they are 

out at the weekend, they’ll 

remember the talk and not 

get into a car driven by a mate 

who has been drinking, or get 

behind the wheel themselves 

after having a few.

Fendalton roads worry 


THERE ARE serious concerns 

for pedestrian and cyclist safety 

on Fendalton roads. 

And the creation of a working 

party to address the issues affecting 

Idris, Straven and Glandovey 

Rds has been a long time in the 

making, residents say. 

Traffic volume through the 

area is out of hand, the road 

layout is poor and the parts of the 

cycleway are too narrow, resident 

James Wilding said. 

The working party was established 

after Mr Wilding and 

other Fendalton residents Ross 

Seal and Barbara Hann made a 

deputation to the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community 

Board regarding these issues. 

The group also sent photos to 

city council staff in February and 

a letter signed by 200 residents to 

city councillors and the mayor. 

Working party members have 

not yet been confirmed but it 

will be made up of residents, 

including Mr Wilding, as well as 

community board members and 

city council staff. 

The residents want to create 

a “living street” atmosphere, 

which promotes pedestrians and 

discourages cars. 

“The board is keen to work

productively with affected parties 

on the issues that have been 

raised about traffic volumes,” city 

council manager planning and 

delivery transport Lynette Ellis 

said. 

A date for its first meeting has 

not yet been set but residents are 

keen to address the mounting 

problems. 

Mr Wilding said there are a 

large number of trucks using 

the roads, which are classified as 

minor arterial or collector. 

“We have freight routes, for 

example Blenheim Rd. Those four 

and six-lane roads are the ones 

freight should us,” he said. 

Part of the cycle lane is 60cm 

wide. Under the city council’s 

guidelines cycle lanes should be 

at least 1.5m wide, not including 

the gutter, Mr Wilding said. 

And he said it’s not uncommon 

for vehicles to cross into the 

cycleways, which he has photographed. 

“Children must be, and feel 

safe, on our roads, especially 

in residential areas and near 

schools. The city council ought 

to help ensure a safe and healthy

regulation, it should be 1.5m.

city for residents,” Mr Wilding 

said. 

The area has the highest density 

of residential heritage buildings 

in the city – which have been also 

been affected by the number of 

heavy vehicles, the residents said. 

“We seem to be creating a quiet 

largely traffic free CBD and busy 

suburbs. It is important the safety 

and character of suburbs right 

across the city is not lost as a result 

of post-earthquake changes,” 

Mr Wilding said.

Build roads and the traffic will come 

Papanui city 

councillor 

and avid 

cyclist Mike 

Davidson 

writes 

about the 

major issue 

afflicting 

his ward and what 

he thinks would be a 

good alternative during 

Biketober 

One key issue facing the Papanui 

Ward, and the city, at the 

moment is traffic congestion. 

By 2041 it is predicted that 

there will be an additional 

70,000 vehicle movements within 

the four avenues every day. 

Work is also currently underway 

on the Northern Corridor, 

which is due to be completed 

within the next three years. 

But I struggle to see what 

benefit the city will see from this 

$240 million roading project, 

which channels non-ratepaying 

residents into the heart of St 

Albans as they head into the 

central city. 

The built environment influences 

behaviour and it will not 

take long before this new fourlane 

highway will be at capacity. 

So what is the answer? 

Modal shift – encouraging 

those who can, to use a different 

form of transport instead of a 

single occupancy vehicle – walking, 

cycling, catching a bus or 

car pooling. 

Perhaps if the money for this 

project had been invested into 

a decent passenger rail service 

from the north we could have 

had a true opportunity to influence 

behaviour for the better 

and created a truly sustainable 

public transport option. 

However, it would appear that 

numerous authorities and agencies 

have never taken seriously 

the possibility of passenger rail. 

The focus seems to be on the 

bus network as our public transport 

option even though the 

bus routes are not continuously 

separated from vehicles and 

are still forced to deal with the 

congestion street fight. 

Plus changes to the bus network 

now make it more difficult 

for a lot of people who have 

multiple changeovers and longer 

waiting times. 

With 50 per cent of car trips in 

the city under 5km we need to 

encourage the uptake of cycling 

and walking as an alternative 

mode of transport. 

Survey after survey show 

that there are a large number 

of people wanting to cycle, but 

choose not to because they feel 

it is unsafe. The major cycleway 

programme is designed to remove 

this safety concern barrier 

and encourage more people to 

take up cycling. 

CONGESTION: 

Work turning 

Cranford St 

into a fourlane 

major 

arterial is 

about to 

begin, but 

city councillor 

Mike Davidson 

isn’t sure the 

money is 

being well 

spent. PHOTO: 

GEOFF SLOAN 

There was never an expectation 

that the day these were 

completed there would be hundreds 

of new cyclists as it takes 

time to change culture. 

However, from cycleways 

completed so far, the numbers 

using these cycleways are 

already exceeding the predicted 

volumes. 

It is important that the cycleway 

programme is completed, 

public transport becomes more 

user-friendly and our transport 

culture is changed. If we don’t the 

congestion we are seeing today 

will pale in comparison to what 

will happen in the near future. 

We need our streets and transport 

network to work for everyone 

no matter what age, ability 

or form of transport used. 

Readers respond to a 

Nor’West News article 

regarding businesses 

on Cranford St worried 

Northern Arterial upgrades 

will force them to close 

Conrad Fitz-Gerald – A bit 

naive to expect the city council to 

do something that actually helps 

local businesses and residents. 

Maree Clayton – Less cars! 

More trains. No-brainier. Should 

have been a priority, immediately 

post-quake. South and north out 

of the city. Quicker, easy. Less cars 

on road, saving all round and less 

stress. Sadly, too many missed 

opportunities from a bunch of 

bumbling bureaucrats. Need 

an airport rail but alas we got a 

bloody archway. 

Jan Driscoll – Heavens, 

there is a bike in the picture . . . a 

rare sight indeed. Cranford St is 

already a nightmare, especially 

around 3 to 6pm. And with heavy 

parking on both sides around 

the garage and shopping centre 

that will evidently be going and 

then a massive expensive housing 

development along there, you 

have got a disaster in the making. 

Feel really sorry for the businesses 

around the Innes Rd and Cranford 

St corner. Another example 

of top quality planning. Adding 

another lane to the Northern 

Arterial won’t fix it either. Get rail 

up and running.

Rob White – Well people 

have had at least 30 years to get 

used to this since it was first 

planned, and put off, and then 

off, and then back on again. The 

bigger problem is the city council 

actually agreeing to housing in 

the swamp on the other side of 

Cranford St. 

Sylvia Oliver – It is so hard 

on businesses after seven years 

you would think things would 

improve but, no, they get worse 

all the time. One wonders why 

our city council and so-called 

Government cannot intervene 

to protect the small businesses. 

Makes me so angry. 

Beverly Jackson – I live on 

Cranford St. They’ve given no 

consideration to the residents 

trying to get out of their driveways. 

It’s hard enough now. 

Michelle Green – Traffic 

today was horrendous, I queued 

for ages on Cranford St bumperto-bumper 

all way from Placemakers 

to Main North Rd. 

Readers also respond 

to the article regarding 

Bishopdale New World 

winning its battle to display 

alcohol on the ends of 

aisles 

Glenis Shaw – I don’t think 

it makes any difference. I like 

it being sold in supermarkets, 

easier and cheaper. Wine consumption 

is not a problem to the 

majority of people. 

Geoff Oscar O’Connell – I 

just wish Bishopdale New 

World stocked more Monteith’s 

Pilsner. 

Lynda Byrnes – The majority 

of people who shop in 

supermarkets are sensible, don’t 

let the few idiots ruin for the rest 

of us. We buy our alcohol and 

consume it sensibly with friends 

over meals. They don’t ban the 

caffeine drinks and other things 

that effect our teenagers, why 

make it hard to buy alcohol for 

consenting adults? 

Sharren Wilson – If they 

have a licence to sell alcohol, it 

makes absolutely no difference 

whatsoever where it is placed in 

the aisle. 

Marilyn Tippet – Come on 

people it comes down to personal 

BATTLE: Bishopdale New World won its legal case for the

responsibility. Are you going 

to take away all my freedom of 

choice because some people can’t 

handle their drink or they are 

addicted to cigarettes, chocolate, 

Coca Cola, sugar, McDonald’s? 

Like I said personal responsibility 

Audrey Leslie – Alcoholic 

products should not be sold in 

supermarkets. It’s always the 

ones who can least afford it that 

are tempted to purchase alcohol 

when they go into the supermarket 

for food. I once watched 

two young men looking in the 

meat section, actually picked up 

a meat package, then returned 

it to the freezer and purchased 

a carton of beers instead. Now 

that’s sad. 

Ann Vernon – Alcohol is a 

dangerous drug. I personally 

think a separate discrete area is 

appropriate. In some supermarkets 

you have to walk through 

the alcohol section to access the 

shop. We normalise binge drinking 

in New Zealand and minimise 

the serious harm it causes. 

I try to limit this normalising 

alcohol use with my children. 

Having a different area does 

not penalise adults in any way. 

We no longer have cigarettes on 

display. Why not the same for 

alcohol?

Playcentre’s 

bid to find 

new home 

after fire 

•From page 1 

Ms O’Rourke said the playcentre, 

which has a roll of 25 children, is 

currently working towards finding 

a new place to hold its sessions. 

“We won’t really know what the 

next steps are until we meet with 

the insurance company . . . but the 

hope is to run it out of somewhere 

nearby,” she said. 

Ms O’Rourke said the playcentre 

will continue to support the families 

“devastated” by the fire. 

“We don’t operate in the school 

holidays, so that gives us a week to 

sort somewhere out . . . we won’t let 

it affect the families,” she said. 

But Ms O’Rourke said there 

would be a “shortfall” in terms of 

the insurance payout due to high 

demolition costs in the city. 

“We’ve had huge support from 

the community and playcentres 

around the country,” she said. 

Belfast Community Network 

chief executive Lynda Goodrick 

said the network of more than 

15 groups will rally behind the 

playcentre. “We’re gutted, it’s devastating 

for the families. But we’re 

doing everything we can to help 

support them,” she said.

Breastfeeding programme recognised 

ST GEORGE’S Hospital staff 

have been honoured for their 

commitment to breastfeeding. 

“Breastfeeding is important 

and helps to lay the foundation 

for good health in infancy 

for mothers and babies,” 

New Zealand Breastfeeding 

Alliance executive officer Jane 

Cartwright said. 

She said for nine years staff at 

the hospital’s maternity centre 

have “served as a beacon in the 

region” for their standards of 

breastfeeding support and care 

for new parents. 

“Since the beginning of 

this year, about 800 women 

have discharged from St 

George’s facilities exclusively 

breastfeeding their babies - 

this is a great start towards 

breastfeeding babies when they 

return home,” Ms Cartwright 

said. 

St George’s charge midwife 

Andrea Robinson emphasised 

the importance breastfeeding 

plays in the reduction in rates 

of childhood infections and 

protection against later health 

risks. 

Ms Robinson said that 

breastfeeding is one of the 

smallest investments a country 

can make to build its future 

prosperity. 

“We should all be proud 

of being an integral part of 

providing such a precious 

investment to our women and 

to the wider health of 

our community,” Ms Robinson 

said. 

SERVICE: (From left) – Jane Cartwright, Sandra Wilson, 

Julia Daly, Andrea Robinson, and Maree Lewington have 

been recognised for their commitment to breastfeeding.

Expansion likely for community centre 


THE FOOTPRINT of the new 

St Albans Community Centre 

is set to expand. 

As a means of providing 

green space for the new 

facility, the city council has 

approved the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board’s recommendation 

to purchase a 

neighbouring property. 

Last year city councillor 

Mike Davidson spoke to the 

owners of the property, which 

is at 130 Caledonian Rd to 

see whether the sale could go 

ahead. 

However, he would not 

release details of that conversation 

as they were “commercially 

sensitive.” 

The property is next door to 

the Caledonian Rd side of the 

community centre site. 

Cr Davidson said the current 

community centre plans 

took up most of the current 

site, and once car parking was 

included, there would be little 

room for green space. 

City council general 

manager corporate services 

Bruce Rendall said as the city 

council is “still in negotiations 

around acquiring an option 

on the land” further comment 

is not appropriate. 

The matter has been referred 

to the 2018-28 Long Term 

Plan preparation process. 

It has been delegated Mr 

Rendall to negotiate the purchase.

endorsement. I was honoured 

by an electorate majority 

increase from 2,500 in 2014 to 

over 10,000 in 2017 that tells

events I arranged to connect to 

you over the past three years. 

I look forward to continuing to

It was great to catch up with 

young achievers in North 

Christchurch recently. I met 

up with April McLennan in 

Northwood to hear more about 

Limitless, which she founded as a 

young school leaver to empower 

young New Zealanders to connect 

to opportunities and excel in the 

fields of work that inspire them. 

April is one of four recipients for 

the 2017 Minister for Youth’s 

International Leadership Award 

and it’s exciting to have this 

innovative social enterprise 

initiative in our area. 

I enjoyed presenting the Belfast- 

Kaiapoi rotary Club’s Young Totara 

Award at their presentation 

in Belfast recently to a very 

outstanding young recipient. Well 

done to Alexandra McCracken for 

her academic, social and ethical 

achievements. 


CONSTRUCTION is 

under way on a fifth set 

of traffic lights outside 

Northlands Shopping 

Centre. 

The aim of the signals 

is to improve pedestrian 

safety, which has been 

compromised by people 

taking a large number of 

unsafe crosses between the 

bus stops on Main North 

Rd. 

Work on the pedestrian 

crossing on Main North 

Rd is beginning several 

months earlier than 

planned. 

City council manager

opportunity arising. 

“An opportunity has 

arose to construct the 

crossing as a variation to 

an existing contract, which 

has mean that the project 

time frames can be brought 

forward,” Ms Ellis said. 

The crossing got the 

green light from the city 

council in May and will 

cost $450,000. 

“The crossing will provide 

a key link between the 

bus stops and Northlands 

Shopping Centre,” Ms Ellis 

said. 

However, concerns were 

raised by the Shirley-Papanui 

Community Board 

in 2015 about the new

Main North Rd already 

has four sets of lights 

encompassing the mall on 

Langdons Rd, Halliwell 

Ave, Grassmere St and 

Sawyers Arms Rd. 

City council staff investigated 

and found the new 

signals would only add 

three to six seconds to the 

journey. 

And city councillor Mike 

Davidson said there was no 

compromise for people’s 

safety. 

“Pedestrian safety 

trumps a few seconds delay 

to motorists,” Cr Davidson 

said. 

The signals will be timed 

with the other sets of lights 

to keep delays to a minimum.

‘Explosion of colour’ rewards gardeners 



THE LOVELOCKS have done 

it again. 

Northwood residents Brian 

and Janet Lovelock came away 

with the premier gold at this 

season’s spring gardening awards 

from the Canterbury Horticultural 

Society. 

The couple also added two 

gold awards from the Christchurch 

Beautifying Association’s 

spring garden awards to their 

collection in the open and secret 

garden categories. 

“We’re pretty proud, we’ve 

always been big gardeners,” Mrs 

Lovelock said, they spend almost 

every day outdoors. 

She said the trophies will be 

put in a display case at their 

house until they have to be 

returned for the next round of 

summer judging. 

Which she said the pair are 

already working towards. 

“Some of my seedlings are already 

coming up. It never stops,” 

Mrs Lovelock said. 

Although the Lovelocks spend 

every day in the garden together, 

they wouldn’t often be caught 

sitting out there having a cup of 

tea. 

“If we sit out there, we always 

spot something that could be 

better or needs to be fixed and 

keep working,” she said. 

But Mrs Lovelock said there 

is nothing more rewarding than 

their garden. 

“You get the tiniest handful of 

seed and watch it turn into an 

explosion of colour in the garden 

displays,” she said. 

The Lovelock’s spring award 

winning garden included tulips, 

polyanthas and shrubs like rhododendrons 

and azaleas. 

But come November they’ll 

be pulling out the annuals and 

planting their summer garden.

Food for fundraiser 

PRETZELS, THAI jelly, tapas, 

Japanese curry, rice balls, sushi, 

waffles and lolly cake. 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

students tried dishes from 

different countries. 

Dean of international 

students Louise Stanton said the 

International Club, headed by 

Amy Chen, organised the event 

as a fundraiser for St Andrew’s 

High School in Tonga. 

One of the sisters from St 

Andrew’s spoke to the school 

last year and the Rangi students 

were all struck by the struggle 

the school still faced following 

Cyclone Winston early last year. 

Amy said being able to give 

back is a very important part of 

being a global citizen. 

“St Andrew’s in Tonga 

struggles to find enough money 

to do what it needs to do. Many 

of the families are unemployed 

and because the school is funded 

from fees, this means there isn’t 

enough money for even the 

basics like books and other dayto-day 

needs,” she said. 

Popular food at the lunch 

included chocolate and fruit 

waffles, Japanese rice balls and 

the Thai jelly. 

Ploy Kriangkriwakin and 

classmate Ploy Laolerchai were 

keeping the secret recipe for 

their fun-shaped Thai jellies

“There’s coconut and, well 

that’s all I can say really,” said 

Ploy. 

“It’s sweet and delicious that’s 

for sure.” 

India Borelli, originally from 

New York, made pretzel sticks, 

clearly a nod to her birthplace. 

During International Week, 

$1700 was raised for St Andrew’s 

High School and another 

fundraiser is planned before the 

end of the year.

Expertise Built On Family Heritage 

For Christchurch real estate agent 

Pip Sutton, real estate is a family 

heritage spanning four generations 

over approximately 93 years. 

It all started with her great-grandfather 

Frederick in 1924, out of Lyttelton. Her 

grandfather, Fred, continued working in 

Lyttelton, setting up an office in London 

Street, which still stands today. 

Pip’s father Dave became a partner in Simes 

real estate in Christchurch in the early 1970s 

until 2005 when it was sold for retirement 

purposes. From the age of just 18 months Pip 

became part of it, with many early memories 

of attending property auctions, visiting 

building sites and regular office visits where 

the auction gavel and lectern were often 

used as play toys. 

“I grew up in the business,” she says. “During 

school holidays I worked in Dad’s office. I 

spent a lot of time relieving as receptionist, 

in accounts and assisting putting marketing 

packages and the likes together, oh and lots 

of Sunday drives around new developments 

within the city and Lyttelton Harbour with 

the family.” 

On leaving school Pip gained a Bachelor 

of Commerce & Management degree with 

a marketing major. She gained valuable 

experience and skills working as a top sales 

and marketer for multi-national market 

leaders within New Zealand and the UK. 

In 2005, Pip returned to Christchurch to 

commence her real estate career under the 

guidance and wisdom of her father. 

“This involved long hours of intensive 

learning. He passed on an in-depth 

understanding of Christchurch’s land and 

development right through from the early 

Lyttelton days. This included understanding 

district plans, zoning, the development 

process. How to research properties deeply 

to uncover potentials for new owners. How 

to listen to people and respond to their needs. 

“He passed on that little bit of magic, 

which had been handed down from three 

previous generations of learnings from great 

depressions, World Wars and within my 

career, the Global Financial Crisis and pre 

and post earthquake environments.” 

In 2014, Pip joined Ray White Real Estate, 

because she liked their in-depth attention to 

real estate law and management style at the 

Cashmere office, plus being a family brand 

itself spanning back to the early 1900s, she 

recognised the more caring nature of the 

brand, perhaps due to over 100 years of 

learnings being passed down too. 

“You are working with people during a 

milestone time in their life, they are often 

already under stress. A real estate agent’s job 

is to assist in relieving the stress, not adding 

to it.” 

Pip has become a successful and highly 

regarded real estate salesperson across 

the city. For her, the most enjoyable and 

important part of the process is to spend 

time with both buyers and sellers, using 

her in-depth knowledge of the Canterbury 

property environment to assist in achieving 

the best possible outcome for her clients. 

As she puts it: “My measure of success is the 

quality of the results I achieve for my clients, 

not the number of houses I sell. I would 

rather take more time getting my client into 

a better position than collecting listings and 

making quick sales.”

HEALTH & BEAUTY 


Love your dentures 

Is it time to swap your generic denture appearance 

for a beautiful, natural looking smile? 

Internationally renowned dental 

technician Richard Greenlees, 

PGDipCDTech (University of Otago) of 

Lovebite is the person to call. 

His special point of difference is 

rebuilding what he calls the Oral 

Architecture, the structure and shape of 

a patient’s face that is often lost following 

years of wearing dentures. 

Lovebite dentures address problems 

that can arise due to years of the patient 

wearing incorrectly fitting or poorly 

functioning dentures, such as poor 

occlusion (the way the teeth come 

together), aesthetics, function and 

hygiene. 

An intricate knowledge and 

understanding of facial features allows 

Richard to return facial tissues back to the 

correct position, reform lips, and restore 

beauty and confidence. 

Richard provides a friendly, discreet 

service and personally guides his patients 

through the transformation process to 

create teeth with small nuances in the 

fabrication, colour and shape. 

Carmen, a recent patient said in a 

thank you letter to Richard, “I highly 

recommend your craftsmanship to anyone 

wanting a natural looking smile. Because 

you do your work in front of your client, 

one is able to see how meticulous and 

dedicated you are to ending up with a top 

class result. My dentures are amazing. 

They look like one’s own natural teeth. So 

much time, effort and energy went into 

the end result. Simply the best.” 

Richard’s patients have varying needs, 

from full denture replacement, to first 

time immediate dentures, implant 

supported dentures and metal partial 

dentures. 

Since he started making teeth in 

1980 Richard has travelled extensively, 

accumulating vast knowledge through 

training and working in Japan, and 

running his own practice in the 

prestigious Harley Street, London for 15 

years. He continues to teach his world 

leading techniques globally. 

Richard also creates porcelain crowns 

and veneers, working with like-minded 

dental professionals. 

A beautiful new Lovebite smile 

resembles nature and reflects the patient’s 

character. It boosts confidence and helps 

patients to look and feel years younger.

These before and after photographs 

perfectly highlight the facial 

rejuvenation that can be achieved

These stunning lovebite full upper and

internationally-recognised dental technician 

Richard Greenlees at his Christchurch studio. 

The combination of Richard’s skill, experience 

(including 15 years in London’s prestigious 

Harley Street) knowledge and revolutionary 

techniques allow him to create beautiful 

bespoke false teeth that truly resemble those 

in nature and reflect each patient’s individuality 

and unique character.

5 Eggs 

1 tsp Vanilla 

1¼ tsp Gluten-free baking 

powder 

MARINATED RUMP STEAK 

AND MUSHROOM KEBABS 

Ingredients 

Kebabs 

600g Beef rump steak 

12 small mushrooms 

1 Large onion, cut into 3cm 

squares 

6 Vine-sweet mini peppers, 

halved diagonally 

Syrup 

1 Tangelo, juiced 

¼ cup Sugar 

1 bowl Greek yoghurt, creme 

fraiche, vanilla ice cream or 

coconut yoghurt for a dairy-free 

alternative 

Directions 

Place whole tangelos in a large 

pot and cover with plenty of cold 

water. Boil for two hours, drain 

and allow to cool. 

Heat the oven to 180 deg C. 

Grease and line a 21cm round 

spring form cake tin. 

Cut tangelos in half and 

remove any pips. Place fruit 

(skin, pith, flesh and all) in a 

food processor and blitz until 

smooth. 

Add all other ingredients 

and blitz until smooth and well 

combined. 

Pour into prepared cake tin 

and bake for one hour or until a 

skewer inserted into the middle 

of the cake comes out clean. 

Cover cake with tin foil half way 

through cooking time to avoid 

the top burning. 

Remove cake from the oven, 

mix tangelo juice and sugar

Marinade 

2 Tbsp Lemon juice

from the mushrooms. Add to 

the marinade and move them 

around. 

Seal the bag. Refrigerate for 

at least eight hours. This is the 

secret of the well-flavoured 

kebabs. 

Thread the steak, onion, 

mini peppers and mushrooms

CONTINUING EDUCATION 


Papanui 

High School 

As the weather gets warmer and the 

evenings get longer it is the ideal time to get 

out of the house and learn something new 

and meet some new people by taking part 

in one of the wide range of nightclasses on 

offer at Papanui High School for Term 4 

beginning from Tuesday 24 October. 

From Art to Yoga and everything in 

between we are sure regardless of your 

age or interest you will find something 

to tempt you. Classes at Papanui High 

School are held in a warm, friendly relaxed 

environment and our tutors are supportive 

and well qualified in their chosen fields. 

A new course on offer is Creative Candle 

Making which will teach you to create 

your own soy container candles and 

melts, either for yourself or ideal as a gift. 

Discover more about soy wax, fragrance, 

wick selection and trouble shooting 

commom candle making issues. This is a 

hands on course where you will make 3 full 

sized scented candles, 6 melts, 5 tea lights 

and 1 votive. The cost of all materials is 

included in the course fee. This course is 

being taught by Jane Alexander and will be 

held at Papanui High School on Saturday 4 

November between 10 am – 4 pm at a cost 

of $148. 

For further information and enrolment 

in this or any of our Term 4 courses 

please visit our website on www.papanui. 

school.nz or email rpb@papanui.school. 

nz or telephone our office on 3520701. 

Ensuring a safe 

work place 

Learning first aid is not only a part of 

ensuring a safe work place, but also an 

integral part of our engagement with 

the wider community. We all learn the 

necessary skills to ensure that in times of 

emergency we are able to assist our work 

colleagues, but are we able to take these 

skills home, into the community or on to 

the sports field? 

Not all work places are the same and 

the injury risk for each place can be 

wide and variable. The office attended by 

administrators does not carry the same 

risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance 

from a regular ambulance service. It is 

therefore essential that you pick the right 

first aid course to suit all of your activities 

– both professional and social. 

Take, for example, an office worker who 

does not have a high risk work environment 

and whose concern might be to ensure 

that they can deal with minor cuts and 

superficial injuries, or the ability to perform 

effective CPR. These skills can be achieved 

on a course of eight hours duration and 

would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to 

a sports field either as a spectator or player 

when a higher level injury occurs. The 

eight hour course covering unit standards 

6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does 

not cover head neck and spinal injuries, 

eye injuries, hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of 

the work place, in fact one in three injuries 

occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. 

New Zealand children are twice as likely 

to die through injury as children who live 

in Australia. They mostly die as a result 

of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the 

home. Fatalities from leisure and sport are 

not far behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the 

additional unit standard 6400 and provides 

a wide knowledge base for medium to high 

risk environments. This course covers 

many of the skills required to deal with 

the most common injuries, such as falls 

(which can result in head, neck and spinal 

injuries) and dealing with complex scenes 

such as motor vehicle accidents. 

If you are not sure on the course best 

suited to your needs, ask your accredited 

first aid training provider. They can explain 

the course content and give you options 

that will best suit your needs. Look beyond 

the workplace and consider your family 

and your location. Check that you have a 

good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date 

with replenished items, and that everyone 

knows where it is located.

CONTINUING EDUCATION 

Risingholme Community 

Centre Term 3 

Term 4 sees us continuing to offer 

a range of classes across the city at 

Risingholme Community Centre, 

Riccarton High School, Shirley Boys High 

School, Christchurch Girls High School 

and Hornby High School, many of which 

have become a tradition of Risingholme 

Community Centre programme. So what 

better way to prepare for summer than 

to get out and learn something new by 

enrolling in a course of interest – maybe 

something that you have tried before and 

want to explore further or perhaps you 

would like to try something new, or to 

meet new people with similar interests. 

It has been proven that Lifelong Learning 

has many benefits with the obvious ones 

being the continuation of a learning 

journey, learning a new skill, increased 

confidence, meeting new people and much 

more. Our full range of classes can be 

viewed on our website www.risingholme. 

org.nz 

Are you Digitally challenged in our 

ever changing digital world? Or if you 

are not familiar with using a computer, 

we offer classes on Computer Basics or 

maybe something more advanced such as 

Word, Excel or Photoshop. If you would 

like to know more about these or other 

classes that we are running, we would 

love to hear from, you can enrol via 

our website www.risingholme.org. 

nz or phone the Risingholme office 

332 7359. 

New and exciting at Risingholme 

Community Centre is Zentangle. 

What is this you might say - well if 

you can’t sit still enough for yoga, or 

your mind wanders in meditation, 

or you would like a creative aspect to 

your mindfulness, this may work for 

you. This method of drawing does not 

require any previous drawing ability, 

it can be a 15 minute practice you can 

build into your everyday, or you can 

explore some of the more creative ways 

you can then use this design practise to 

make your own cards, images, or decorate 

products. This class will teach you a 

variety of ‘tangles’ and get you started on 

your Zentangle path in a supportive and 

creative atmosphere, and you can build it 

at a pace that suits you, within your time 

constraints or desire as you move through 

the term. 

If you would like to know more about 

these classes or others on our website 

www.risingholme.org.nz please call the 

office 03 332 7359

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 


Fast turnaround for 

minor panel repairs 

As we all know, having our car off the road for minor 

panel repairs can be frustrating, but for customers of 

SMART Repairs in Lichfield Street, it isn’t a problem. 

“With our focus on fast turnaround, 

getting customers back on the road 

as quickly as possible is the way we do 

business,” says owner Brian Caffell, who 

runs the long-established panel shop 

with his wife Maxine. 

In addition, customers have the 

benefit of a courtesy car, so they can stay 

on the road while their vehicle is in the 

workshop. There is also a free pick-up 

and delivery service available if required. 

Customers can be assured of topquality 

workmanship at SMART 

Repairs, with the workshop team having 

over 40 years’ industry experience 

between them, with services including 

panelbeating, spraypainting, paintless 

dent removal, (PDR) and mag wheel 

repairs and painting. 

As specialists in small to medium 

panel repair work, no job is too small for 

SMART Repairs, and with their friendly, 

personal approach they make it easy for 

customers who may be unsure what to 

do if their vehicle has been scratched or 

dented. 

The team also provides quotes for all 

insurance companies, and carry out 

those repairs quickly and efficiently. 

“We take pride in our work and ensure 

that our customers are happy with the 

results,” says Maxine. 

SMART Repairs are currently looking 

at expanding and incorporating a mobile 

division, so they can come to you for 

minor paint and interior trim repairs, 

PDR and mag wheel repairs. 

SMART Repairs is located at 272 

Lichfield Street, at the Fitzgerald 

Avenue end. Opening hours are 

Monday to Friday, 8am-4.30pm. 

To enquire about repairs to your 

vehicle, please call in, or phone

LUTHER AND LLOYD: 

TWO OUTRAGEOUS HERETICS? 

SIX-WEEK COURSE 

This year marks the 500th Anniversary of Martin Luther 

nailing his thesis to the church in his German town of 

Wittenberg (October 31). An action that unexpectedly 

sparked the Reformation. This year also celebrates the 

50th Anniversary of the heresy trial of Lloyd Geering 

here in Aotearoa New Zealand. An event that was most 

divisive for many of our churches. 

This course will examine the huge impact of the two 

men in their time, noting their significance for today. 

Attention will be drawn to the different theological 

perspectives involved. 

Six-week course of 2 hour sessions 

held on Thursday afternoons 2pm - 4pm
