ST BEDE’S surfer Caspar 

McCormick (above) put on 

a stylish display in his first 

national event finishing second. 

Competing in the longboard 

section of the national scholastic 

surf championships in Gisborne, 

he narrowly missed out on 

the title, which was won by 

Auckland’s Matt Newdick. 

Caspar glides to 

podium finish 

Coach Aaron Lock said 

he did incredibly well 

considering he has no national 

experience. 

“He is a really talented surfer 

and we want more contests out of 

the young fellow,” he said. 

The Canterbury team placed 

third overall at the event held 

from October 9-13.

CITY COUNCIL chief executive 

Karleen Edwards appears to have 

put the brakes on setting up a 

working party to look at road 

safety in Fendalton. 

Dr Edwards (right) 

sent a memo to residents 

on Glandovy, 

Idris and Straven Rds 

who are concerned 

about poor road 

layout, narrow cycleways and the 

high number of heavy vehicles 

in the area. She also sent it to the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board. 

“Staff have suggested caution 

in establishing a working group 

due to the resource that will be 

required and the low likelihood of 

the working group being able to 

effect the changes requested,” she 

said in the memo.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News.................................... 3-14 

THE CITY council has put the 

brakes on a bid by Fendalton 

residents to set up a working 

party to make their streets safer. 

Residents on Glandovy, Idris 

and Straven Rds say their streets 

are poorly laid out, have narrow 

cycleways and are used by too 

many heavy vehicles. 

Two weeks ago we revealed 

they had called on the city council 

to set up a working party to 

thrash out and solve the issues. 

But city council boss Karleen 

Edwards (see page 1) has just 

sent out a memo saying no to the 

working party. 

Her staff have told her that 

the chances of a working party 

being able to effect change is 

“low”. 

So the city council will talk 

with the community board 

about solutions. No prizes for 

guessing for what the residents 

think.

Young inventor’s looting solution 


MICHAEL HANN likes fixing 

things. 

The 18-year-old always has. 

His earliest memory is helping 

his dad, Jody, put an electric 

motor on a tricycle. “When I 

see a problem, I like to think of 

ways to fix or improve it,” he 

said. 

The Papanui High School 

student saw a problem he could 

solve when medication and 

hearing equipment was stolen 

from a North New Brighton 

home during the tsunami 

evacuation after the Kaikoura 

earthquake last November. 

“Seeing the looting when the 

earthquake happened inspired 

me to create this product,” he 

said. 

So he designed a security 

system to be deployed in a 

natural disaster when the 

power goes out, and now he’s a 

finalist in the ASB Bright Sparks 

competition. It’s called TEMS, 

which Michael said stands 

for “temporary emergency 

monitoring system”. 

The invention acts as a battery 

charger for devices and a place 

to keep belongings locked inside 

during a disaster. It also has 

an alarm to keep houses safe 

when evacuated. It is triggered 

by the rocking caused by an 

earthquake and lights up an exit 

path. Michael’s now working 

on connecting TEMS to an 

app which would send a text if 

someone breaks in. 

“I really want to get it 

connected up to a phone 

network so it sends out a text or 

notification through an app,” he

School, with a prototype of

disasters.

said. Michael will be flying up 

to Auckland on November 7 to 

attend the Bright Sparks awards 

evening. 

“It’s on the same night as my 

last high school prize-giving, 

but I’ve decided to go up to 

Auckland instead,” he said. 

With him will be his proud 

dad, from who Michael may 

have inherited the “fix it” 

gene. Mr Hann’s job involves 

repairing electronics for the 

police. “He doesn’t help me that 

much on my projects anymore 

but . . . we have wires and 

stuff lying around the house,” 

Michael said. 

He spends his free time on 

Trade Me, buying broken items 

to upgrade. “Sometimes it’s not 

even fixing things; I just like to 

make improvements like in my 

bedroom. I made a motorised 

blind to wake me up in the 

morning,” he said. 

Next year the budding 

inventor will study engineering 

at Canterbury University.

Victim of drink driving shares his 

George Cairney’s life was completely changed 

in 2008 when he sat in the back of a car with a 

driver who had been drinking. The vehicle crashed 

into a brick wall at 135km/h. Mr Cairney, 24, told 

his sobering story to students from Christchurch 

Boys’ High School and the wider community on 

Wednesday. Here’s what he told the students 


THANK YOU very much for 

having me here this evening, I 

think I have a lot of important 

information that can 

either help, if not save, 

your lives. 

And you may ask me 

what I mean? 

I may seem like a 

normal guy, just a 

regular Joe Blogg, but 

I’m sure by the end 

of my speech, by the 

end of my story, you’ll 

think very differently. 

At the time of my 

accident, I was back at 

King’s College. I was in seventh 

form in Auckland. I was loving 

school, absolutely loving it. 

I was in the school’s basketball 

team. School sports was a 

passion for me and I was loving 

school. I got As in English, which 

was fantastic. All of these things, 

all of these passions I loved, all of 

these things can be changed by 

George Cairney 

one decision, one bad decision. 

I would like to tell you about 

that now. 

I was at a party, it 

was about a month 

before my final exams. 

October 1, 2008. I was 

with a bunch of friends, 

I was at an 18 th party, 

and it was just a regular 

night. 

But I was drunk, this 

was my first mistake 

because getting drunk 

hinders your ability to 

make good decisions. It 

makes it really hard to 

say ‘hey, I don’t want to do that’. 

I asked my friend for a ride 

home because I was drunk and I 

couldn’t drive. 

He said he was sober, he said 

he hadn’t had anything to drink 

– how was I supposed to know 

that? Unless you plan it before or 

you keep an eye on it the whole 

night. 

He told me he was sober, this 

was not true. He’d had more 

than twice the legal limit to 

drive. 

We hopped in the car. This was 

my next mistake, one of 

many – I didn’t put on my seat 

belt. 

It’s so simple, it takes three 

seconds and it saves lives. I may 

have been in the back left side of 

the car but people still die. 

Then he started driving very 

fast. Extremely fast and very 

badly.

sobering story with students 

I should’ve said: ‘Stop. Please 

pull over, I’m not comfortable, 

will you please let me out.’ It’s 

simple. 

That was the moment that 

changed my life forever. 

He was rounding a corner too 

fast on Remuera Rd in a 50km/h 

zone, going twice the speed 

limit-plus. 

He hit a power pole exactly 

where I was seated. 

We went through a garage 

door and halfway through a 

brick wall. 

I was in a coma for a month. 

When I woke up, I didn’t 

know I was there, I didn’t know 

what had happened because I 

don’t remember this night. I 

don’t remember a year and a 

half before this night or a year 

and a half after this night. 

Three years of my life is gone 

and I feel like I’m telling stories 

about another person. 

But these were my mistakes. It 

has affected my life hugely. 

I have diabetes, epilepsy, 

splenectomy – it took my spleen. 

These are the scars from 

one, two, three, four, five bad 

mistakes in one evening. 

I even had to have part of my 

skull replaced with titanium 

plating. 

My left leg was partially 

replaced with a titanium rod 

and behind this metal front is 

the part of my brain that was 

most damaged. 

Sure, I damaged the left 

and right lobe but the frontal 

lobe is what makes it hard to 

behave correctly, behave socially 

correctly and manage my own 

life. 

I can’t plan. I work with six 

carers part time, 24/7. 

Every single day of my life is 

planned by someone else. That 

was not my plan when I was 

back at high school, this was not 

my plan when I was 17 years of 

age. 

But I made those mistakes. 

Partial loss of sight, partial 

loss of hearing, partial loss of 

smell. 

My left eye I can only see 

when I look in one direction. 

My right eye, I can’t see my 

hand when it’s right there. 

My left ear is deaf, which is a 

big bummer. I only have eight 

per cent taste left, which is a 

real bummer – I was a big food 

person. 

Not so much anymore. 

All of these things, all of these 

injuries, all of this crap in my 

life could’ve been prevented by 

just thinking before I did those 

things. 

Before I finish this speech, 

I just have a few questions for 

you. 

How would you think, how 

would you feel if you were in my 

position? 

How would you feel having all 

of this happen to you and you 

were in the middle of it? 

What would you do to stop it 

again? And how would you live? 

Because every day I get up, I 

feel like I have less motivation. 

Every day I get up, it’s hard. 

There are three things you 

have to remember. 

Don’t drink and drive. Come 

on, it’s not that hard, is it? 

Second thing, (when you) hop 

into a car, put your seat belt on. 

It’s three seconds of your life. 

Put your seat belt on, even 

if you’re in the back seat. They 

save lives. Millions of lives. 

And next, if your friend is 

driving dangerously, if he’s 

driving fast, if he’s driving 

drunk – tell him to pull over, tell 

him to stop the car. 

You shouldn’t be embarrassed 

to ask because they should 

be the ones embarrassed for 

putting your life in danger. 

Thank you.

Funding gives confidence to plan ahead 

Manager of the 

Neighbourhood 

Trust Ginny 

Larsen writes 

about how 

three years 

of funding 

has secured the trust’s 

future to the benefit of the 

community 

Funding – the very word is 

enough to send chills up the 

spine of most not-for-profit organisations. 

As the manager of Neighbourhood 

Trust, (the community arm 

of St Albans Baptist Church), 

a local not-for-profit working 

mainly in the Mairehau, Shirley 

and St Albans part of town, I 

feel like half my life is taken up 

with funding applications and 

accountabilities. 

So it is a nice surprise to have 

some funders making the process 

a bit easier by putting three-year 

funding as an option. 

This year both NZ Lotteries 

and the city council, through its 

community boards offered this 

alternative. 

And we are exceptionally grateful 

to the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board for its grant. 

It must be hugely difficult 

making decisions, especially as 

the funds available to them have 

been cut by $85,000. 

So what does this mean for an 

organisation to have funds guaranteed 

for three years? 

It gives us confidence to plan 

and look ahead, to know we can 

retain our wonderfully effective 

staff and provide appropriate 

training to keep them up-to-date. 

It means we can continue to 

offer our community consistent, 

community-led work at a high 

level to a variety of sectors – the 

Golden Connections programme 

for over-60s; from exercise classes 

to community days; from free 

English as a second language 

classes to OSCAR programmes 

to the Pay It Forward collective 

of over 50 local designers, selling 

their products through the store 

at 49 Nancy Ave. 

It also means we can dream 

a little about working with our 

community in different ways, 

supporting and mentoring, 

listening to their aspirations for 

their whanau. 

Through the Mairehau Neighbourhood 

Project, a three-year 

COMMUNITY: The Neighbourhood Trust can focus on 

supporting the community now that it has secured three years 

of funding. 

project supported by The Tindall 

Foundation, we have seen transformational, 

long-term change; 

some remarkable stories. 

Working alongside partners 

Te Ora Hou and Kingdom 

Resources, with Mairehau 

Primary School as a base has 

brought a depth to our work with 

families. 

We have seen the value of 

longer-term thinking and are 

delighted that this work can 

now continue to develop. It’s 

energising and empowering for 

our organisation and for our 

community. 

On one hand, we are humbled 

by the trust funders have put in 

us; on the other hand, we’d love 

to see the process made easier for 

all those organisations who have 

a proven track record and give 

great value for money. 

Let’s release them from the 

application grind and free them 

for more time making things 

happen. 


Readers respond to 

the article regarding 

construction of another 

set of lights on Main North 

Rd outside Northlands 

Shopping Centre. 

Glenda McMillan – Maybe 

the people who decide these designs 

should take a look at some 

Australian malls. All their busses 

detour into the malls so all other 

traffic doesn’t have to deal with 

a shambles like Papanui Rd has 

become. It’s a real shame as there 

is a big impact on the local community 

with increased traffic 

that doesn’t flow. 

Conrad Fitz-Gerald – 

Pretty convenient really. I mean, 

you don’t even have to find a 

park anymore. Just jump out at 

the start of the lights and you’ll 

be back before you need to go 

anywhere. Great way to keep customers 

happy. 

Unearthed 

Excavating our stock room we have brought some 

hidden gems to light. 

Historic through to recent works will be displayed in 

an exhibition unlike any we have held before. Any 

artwork can be taken on the purchase day for the 

ticket price, no need to wait until the end of the 

show. You can also take the silent auction option, 

make a respectful written offer to the artist. At the 

end of the show the highest bid will be considered, 

perhaps it will be yours, a chance to get an artwork 

‘for a song’. 

Delve into the wonderful paintings, sculptures and 

prints by emerging and established artists. Some 

of the participants are Robin Slow, Brent Forbes, 

Anna Dalzell, Chris Pole, Jane Downes, Hamish 

Southcott, Carol Stensrud, Chris Moore, Rae West, 

Jill Perrott, Barb Warren and many more. 

That esoteric artwork that has haunted you for 

years may be back to tempt you, others may 

seem like old friends, whatever, it will certainly be 

a diverse and intriguing show. Presales welcome.

Darryn Bennett – I’d love 

to meet the brainless imbecile 

who thought this was a good 

idea. Can’t they just stick to 

ruining the CBD and leave the 

suburbs alone? 

Jill Lang – In my opinion 

the money would be better spent 

putting in much needed right 

turning lights. Since the turning 

rule was changed some places are 

hideous such as Cranford St onto 

Innes Rd. 

Mike Allfrey – Chuck in a 

couple of roundabouts and a

it. Way to go council, lets stuff up 

the whole traffic flow. And they 

wonder why people don’t go to 

the CBD. It’s the same but worse 

there. 

Andrew Miller – The Papanui 

High School students that 

walk straight out onto the road 

will keep doing it. 

Aaron Campbell – Don’t 

forget the useless traffic islands 

with trees and a cycle path that 

takes up most of the road and 

you are on to a winner. 

Vanessa MacKenzie – 

Where? There are lights at the 

corner by Westpac, there are 

lights at the closest entrance 

to Countdown and lights by 

Couplands. If people are crossing

unsafely, shouldn’t they be penalised 

for it? Most crossing are 

grown-ups who know better. 

Jacque Skinner – This is 

getting ridiculous! They’ve also 

put completely unnecessary 

crossing lights in on Sawyers 

Arms Rd at the Papanui Club. 

There are lights down just a bit 

at the Gardiners Rd intersection 

so this is going to cause even 

more congestion especially 

after school. There was already 

a crossing bay there that cars 

would often stop for so lights are 

a waste of money which could 

have been used to put lights 

where really need such as the 

hideous Breens/Harewood/Gardiners

road safety 

working party 

•From page 1 

Concerned resident James 

Wilding said it was difficult to 

comprehend there would be a 

“low” chance of change with a 

working group. 

“Fundamental city council policy 

includes listening to and working 

with communities, creating 

healthy and safe communities and 

elected members making decisions. 

We want to work with the city 

council,” he said. 

Dr Edwards sent the memo after 

city council staff recommended 

the issues could be “sufficiently 

addressed” by having a work shop 

with the community board next 

month. That workshop would not 

include the public, which Mr Wilding 

said was “difficult to reconcile”. 

One issue Mr Wilding was 

expressly concerned about is the 

width of the cycleway on Idris Rd. 

Dr Edwards said the section of 

the cycle lane would be remarked 

by November. But Mr Wilding said 

the city council has only acknowledged 

one section of the cycle lane 

does not comply, when there are 

more than 10. 

The memo will be discussed 

by the community board at its 

meeting tonight.

Bypass almost finished 

Open Day 

planned for 

October 29 

THE WESTERN Belfast Bypass 

project is almost finished. 

Construction of the 5km, 

four-lane stretch of road which 

will aim to cut down traffic from 

Main North Rd to the airport is 

95 per cent complete. 

Work is to set to ramp up over 

the next few weeks as the project 

draws to a close. 

Traffic will be switched onto 

the new bypass in stages from 

early November after an open 

day on October 29 for people to 

walk or cycle along the new road. 

A north-bound lane will open 

to traffic first, followed by a 

south-bound lane about a week 

later. 

The stagnated opening will 

allow the project team to 

complete the final parts of the 

project, such as connecting 

the bypass to the existing road 

network and carrying out 

surfacing work on the ramps. 

A temporary speed limit and 

traffic management will be in 

place while the team finishes the 

remaining sections of the 

FINISHED: The Western Belfast Bypass is 95 per cent complete 

and set to open in November. 

project. Depending on the 

weather, all lanes of the bypass 

should be open to traffic in 

December. 

The construction team will 

return to lay the final low noise 

asphalt surfacing in spring 2018. 

About 118,000 plants, shrubs 

and trees have been planted 

along the bypass. 

Most have been grown from 

seeds and cuttings sourced from 

native plants in the area. 

During the project, more than 

3500 native fish, including long 

fin and short fin eels, giant bully 

and inanga, have been rescued 

and relocated to other parts of 

the waterway. 

Where the bypass travels over 

waterways, culverts have been 

designed to allow fish passages 

and riparian planting has been 

restored with native species. 


BELFAST PLAYCENTRE coordinator 

Julie O’Rourke vowed 

the fire which gutted its building 

would not affect the children’s 

families. 

And that promise has been 

kept as the centre started 

operating out of the Belfast 

Community Network building 

last week. 

The former playcentre on 

Main North Rd was devastated 

by a fire that started when a pot 

was left on the stove during a 

fifth birthday party. 

Now the playcentre with a roll 


Local 


Now 


Playcentre forges ahead 

at new base after blaze 

of 25 will run its sessions out of 

the community network building 

every Tuesday. 

It is also focused on raising 

enough money to cover the 

“shortfall” in insurance. 

Ms O’Rourke said there would 

be a shortfall in terms of the insurance 

payout due to the high 

demolition costs. 

“We’ve had huge support from 

the community and playcentres 

around the country,” she said. 

Belfast Primary School will 

run a mufti-day on Friday to 

raise money and support the 

integral part of the Belfast community.

testimony to the architecture of Jonty Rout. Designed with flair, this home is a cut above 

the average with stunning rimu cathedral ceilings and timber detailing bringing warmth

welcoming space with room to entertain and to flow out onto the generous decking. 

The separate formal dining offers ample space for your dinner parties. The kitchen is

busy evenings after work to relax in. 

There are three double bedrooms, all opening onto a deck, two with mezzanine floors 

and the master having an ensuite and walk in robe, plus a good-sized family bathroom. 

Both bathrooms are presented to a high standard - nothing to do here, the hard work has 

been done. There is also a fourth bedroom upstairs, a great teenage hideaway. 

On the practical side, this home has the bonus of heaps of storage, beautiful built-in 

cabinetry, an internal vacuum system, central heating and a large laundry. 

Step from your kitchen onto a sunny deck surrounded by your own little bit of paradise.

Canty girls score national hockey titles 

SPORTS 


CANTERBURY’S under-15 

B girls hockey team have been 

crowned national champions for 

the sixth year in a row. 

The squad, made up mostly 

of students from north-west 

schools, travelled to Timaru to 

compete earlier this month. 

Their only loss came in pool 

play at the hands of Wanganui 

(2-3). They beat Manawatu 

(12-0), Thames Valley (7-0) and 

Hawkes Bay (4-0) before beating 

Waikato 4-0 in the quarter-final. 

After a tough 2-1 win over 

hosts South Canterbury in 

the semi-final, they faced 

Wellington. Christchurch Girls’ 

High’s Sophie Bowden slotted 

home the winner from a penalty 

corner with 4min to go. 

She then added another after 

Wellington subbed their goalie, 

to close out the game 4-2. 

Villa Maria’s Kate Davies 

was the top scorer for the side 

netting eight goals during the 

tournament. 

The under-15 A girls team 

also won a national title after 

travelling to North Harbour. 

The team, made up entirely of 

north-west school students, 

went through the tournament 

undefeated. 

They finished top of their pool 

with wins against Otago (6-0), 

Taranaki (4-0) and Northland 

(1-0) before following this up 

with a tough quarter-final 2-1 

victory against Waikato. 

They then had a 2-1 win 

against Auckland in their semifinal 

before finishing 

off a fantastic week with a 

hard-fought 1-0 win against 

hosts North Harbour in the 

final.

Morel bowls start of season SPORTS 


CANTERBURY’S most 

decorated bowler has got her 

season off to another great start. 

Bev Morel won the South 

Island chartered clubs women’s 

championship fours title this 

month. 

Playing with her longtime 

partner and sister Theresa 

Woodham, as well as Sherrie 

Cottle and Margaret Pilkington, 

the team overcame stiff competition 

from 54 teams throughout 

the South Island. 

“In the final, the three girls 

played outstanding and I played 

average,” she said. 

“Luckily, my opponent struggled 

as well. It was just one of 

those games.” 

It was another win for the 

Redwood resident, who turns 76 

in November. 

She was recently awarded her 

35th Canterbury centre title by 

Bowls Canterbury president 

Brian Barker at the Elmwood 

Park Club, the most by any 

woman bowler in the region. 

Morel still trains four days 

a week at the gym as well as 

mentoring and coaching new 

bowlers at her local club. 

With the national open championships 

approaching, she will 

be looking to add to her three 

titles. “I am looking forward to 

nationals. I have been to a few,” 

she said. 

One of her standout memories 

HONOURED: Bev Morel was presented with her 35th Canterbury centre title by Bowls 

Canterbury president Brian Barker at the Elmwood Park Club. 

as a bowler was from a national 

event in Dunedin in 1998. 

“My brother died while I was 

down there playing and my sister 

was in my team,” she said. 

“We played for our brother 

and won it. We knew he was 

going to pass away and we both 

missed his funeral. He told us 

to go there and win the title and 

we did.” 

Morel started playing in 1981 

after making the change from 

indoor bowls to outdoor as her 

friend and husband were already 

playing outdoor bowls. 

In spite of Morel’s success, she 

has never been in the national 

team, known as the Blackjacks. 

“Problem is it is an age thing. 

(I was) told in my 50s I was too 

old,” she said. 

She said there is a definite age 

culture bias with the selectors. 

“They might deny it but 

they have an age culture,” she 

said.

Finally It Is 

Here 

Concrete homes may be 

the way of the future 

Compass Homes Canterbury have completed 

construction of their concrete 

show home in Prestons Park, Burwood – 

the first of its kind in the South Island. 

With this type of construction, specially 

formulated concrete is poured into aluminium 

building forms, then left to set. 

This allows all the walls to be poured at 

the property in one solid piece. 

Christchurch General Manager for Compass 

Homes, Yolande Mintrom, says she 

and her team are very excited to see the 

launch of ‘The Concrete Home’. 

“Its benefits are speed, eco-friendliness, 

versatility and warmth,” Yolande says. 

Metal mesh made in New Zealand is used 

for reinforcing, she says, providing a 

structure that has a very high earthquake, 

flood and fire resistance, as well as an extremely 

high thermal efficiency. 

“The thermal mass of concrete homes 

is more efficient than conventional 

wooden homes. It reduces the energy 

required, and therefore the expense of 

heating or cooling your home.” 

Yolande also points out that concrete 

homes are beneficial for those suffering 

from allergies, as concrete doesn’t 

support the growth of mould or mildew. 

It tends to also have lower ongoing 

maintenance costs, which she 

puts down to the fact that it is less 

absorbent than other materials. 

This weekend, Compass Homes will 

be opening the doors to the very first 

Concrete Show Home in Canterbury, 

and it will be the first of many, 

Yolande says. 

“The finish, the features, the duty of 

care is evident in every corner of this 

well-positioned home, situated at 33 

Preston Park Road, Burwood. Come 

and have a look for yourself.” 

Compass Homes Showhomes are 

open 12 pm—4 pm, Wednesday to 

Sunday at 54 Footbridge Terrace, 

Sillverstream, Kaiapoi, as well as 33 

Prestons Park Road, Burwood.

Part of the magic of being a girl-led 

organisation is that GirlGuiding New

that girls really love. A recent example is 

a Harry Potter camp held in Christchurch 

by Westburn Guides and Brownies which 

saw girls enjoying lessons on herbology, 

potions, duels, Quiddich and care of 

magical creatures.

FASHION: Model Cirrus Tan shows off designer Cindy Weiss’ land of the long 

white cloud design at the Art Couture NZ wearable arts competition. 

Harewood 

designer’s 

wearable 

creation 

HAREWOOD‘S Cindy Weiss was among 

the designers who unleashed their weird 

and wonderful art in Selwyn’s first 

wearable arts competition. 

Art Couture NZ brought its first fashion 

show to life in Tai Tapu, attracting about 

150 people through the door. 

The show, judged by designer Loretta 

Sloan and artists Steve Henderson 

and Blanche Fryer, featured about 29 

designers. 

Ms Weiss created a New Zealandinspired 

outfit titled ‘land of the long 

white cloud’. 

The dress was made of merino wool and 

seaweed. 

Organiser Kim Strange said the dress 

was a “beautiful garment that was well 

constructed”. 

Mrs Strange said people were stunned 

at the quality of the garments and the 

creativity of the designers. 


BEAUTY: Designers from around 

the country descended on Tai Tapu 

for the wearable arts competition, 

including Auckland’s Leanne Day and 

model Laura Murton with this 

award-winning madame bride design. 

“It was just nice watching everyone’s 

faces. You just saw everyone getting a lot 

of pleasure from it . . . we have got very 

clever people,” she said. 

The competition, hosted by city 

councillor Anne Galloway, included 

designs ranging from a phoenix-style 

dress to futuristic themed items. 

The audience also had the chance to mix 

with the designers and models. 

“People were able to see the outfits up 

close and go and talk to the designers to 

see how they made them . . . they seemed 

to enjoy that,” Mrs Strange said. 

She’ll see 

opportunities 

not obstacles 

Build up you daughters’ 

confidence levels so 

she can conquer her 

mountains. We have 

spaces in our local 

Pippin, Brownie and 

Guide groups for her to 

start her adventure.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Clinic offers easy 

solution to varicose veins 

If varicose veins are a problem for you, the 

dedicated, professional team at Transform 

Clinic in Mandeville Street Riccarton can 

provide the perfect solution. 

Firstly, they will give you a free 

assessment of your veins, and then suggest 

the appropriate method of treatment, 

depending on the condition of the veins. 

There are two methods available – 

endo-venous laser treatment, which is 

used for both smaller and larger veins, 

and ultrasound guided sclerotherapy. 

Both are easy and straightforward, and 

you can be fully active immediately 

afterwards, without needing to take any 

time off work, or curtail your normal 

activities. The only requirement is for you 

to wear special stockings for two weeks 

following treatment, and daily walking is 

recommended. 

Both these treatments give long-term 

relief from the pain and discomfort of 

varicose veins, and as Transform Clinic’s 

Jenny Little points out, they have become 

the treatment method of today, with 

surgical removal of varicose veins now 

considered obsolete. 

Jenny advises having treatment as early 

as possible when varicose veins start to 

appear, as left untreated they may lead to 

venous ulcers and venous eczema, although 

if these have developed, Transform Clinic 

can treat them as well. 

Transform Clinic has an affiliation 

with health provider Southern Cross and 

relationships with several other health 

insurance companies, which means you are 

usually covered for treatment, providing it 

is included in your policy. 

Transform Clinic also offers a full range 

of appearance medicine options, including 

skin rejuvenation and skin-tightening 

treatments designed to improve skin quality 

and enhance self-esteem. They remove 

superficial veins on the legs and face, and 

also provide mole mapping, mole removal 

and primary skin cancer removal. Their 

website, www.transformclinic.co.nz, has 

information on all the various treatments 

available. 

“We are a ‘one-stop shop’ for all cosmetic 

medicine treatments,” says Jenny. 

Transform Clinic is discreetly located 

at 52a Mandeville Street. Opening hours 

are Monday to Friday from 8.30am, with 

late nights on Tuesday and Thursday, 

and Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Phone 

343-2880 to enquire about treatments or 

make an appointment.

LUCKY? Perhaps more pure talent than luck! 

Lana Doublet says she is ‘over the moon’ aer 

claiming the NZ Country Music Awards 

Songwriter of the Year for the 3rd consecutive 

year. 

“e song that won my recent title is called 

'Together Apart' - inspired aer watching an 

Attitude Live documentary of the same name 

that told a beautifully sad story about how a 

family lived with the struggle of dementia.” 

Taking place in Rotorua on Saturday 14th 

October, the prestigious NZCMA event is 

considered the pinnacle for winners of 

regional Country Music competitions. 

“I've always had a love of music and 

storytelling but it wasn't until I was 

introduced to the country music scene aer 

meeting my husband Phil Doublet, that I was 

able to combine the two,” said Lana. “I have 

always been very stage-shy, and still get 

extremely nervous, so thankful for the 

constant support and encouragement from 

family and friends telling me 'I can'.” 

And ‘she has’. Over the past few years Lana 

has claimed numerous awards, including

Licensed Sales Consultant 

Kathryn Hampton 

Licensed Sales Consultant 

As the 2017 year comes to an end many people are 

making choices for 2018 with many people choosing 

to move home, change schools, buy a car and 

organise another holiday. 

We make important choices throughout our life; what schools our 

children will go to, what food we eat, what friends we have, where 

to go on holiday, and the values we instil in our children. Two of 

the biggest choices we have to make are; where we live and when 

to sell and buy. A crucial component of the process is selecting 

the right licensed real estate salesperson to guide you through the 

mountain of information and industry jargon. A salesperson can 

assist in the important task of identifying the right buyer for your 

house, as well as understanding your unique requirements and 

make your next dream home a reality. It takes great negotiation and 

sales skills teamed with effective target marketing to deliver the 

very best results. Kathryn and Peter can offer you an exceptional 

real estate experience. Working as a team we collectively together 

want to achieve the very best results and the best outcome. Give us 

a call today, we would really like to hear from you.

Client Comments 

We sold our house in Strowan Road. We were fortunate that we listed with experienced local agents Peter and Kathryn Hampton to perform this task on 

our behalf. We were very impressed by Peter and Kathryn’s knowledge of the local area. The Marketing campaign which fitted in with our budget suggested 

by Peter and Kathryn attrached a large number of people to the Open Home viewings. Throughout the three weeks sales period, Peter and Kathryn’s 

communication and buyer feedback was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Their professional attitude and honesty gave us confidence to trust his decisions. 

We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter and Kathryn Hampton to anybody looking at selling their house. 

Brian and Maryanne 

Many thanks Peter and Kathryn for doing such a great job in selling our house. We appreciated your knowledge of the local market, your ability to listen, your 

calm demeanours and your straight forward and clear communication (without any annoying jargon!) The selling price was above our expectations and that 

was down to your hard work and experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you. 

Cherry 

I listed my three bedroomed villa with Peter and Kathryn Hampton, and have been extremely happy with the process and outcome. Their local knowledge and 

past experience with other properties in the area proved to be invaluable to help convince buyers that ‘this was one of them.’ From the outset, I was determined 

to find an agent that was realistic with market value, knew their stuff and would not tell me what they thought I wanted to hear. Coupled with a close working 

relationship, as well as the ever important sale, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. 

Brent 

I thought both Kathryn and Peter worked really hard to promote and sell my house. They were easy to contact and explained what was happening clearly. I 

really loved Kathryn assistance to get the house looking fantastic for the open homes.
