ST BEDE’S surfer Caspar<br />
McCormick (above) put on<br />
a stylish display in his first<br />
national event finishing second.<br />
Competing in the longboard<br />
section of the national scholastic<br />
surf championships in Gisborne,<br />
he narrowly missed out on<br />
the title, which was won by<br />
Auckland’s Matt Newdick.<br />
Caspar glides to<br />
podium finish<br />
Coach Aaron Lock said<br />
he did incredibly well<br />
considering he has no national<br />
experience.<br />
“He is a really talented surfer<br />
and we want more contests out of<br />
the young fellow,” he said.<br />
The Canterbury team placed<br />
third overall at the event held<br />
from <strong>October</strong> 9-13.<br />

put the brakes on setting up a<br />

Dr Edwards (right)<br />

on Glandovy,<br />
Idris and Straven Rds<br />
who are concerned<br />
about poor road<br />
layout, narrow cycleways and the<br />
high number of heavy vehicles<br />
in the area. She also sent it to the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board.<br />
“Staff have suggested caution<br />
in establishing a working group<br />
due to the resource that will be<br />
required and the low likelihood of<br />
the working group being able to<br />
effect the changes requested,” she<br />
said in the memo.<br />

DESK <strong>News</strong>.................................... 3-14<br />
THE CITY council has put the<br />
brakes on a bid by Fendalton<br />
residents to set up a working<br />
party to make their streets safer.<br />
Residents on Glandovy, Idris<br />
and Straven Rds say their streets<br />
are poorly laid out, have narrow<br />
cycleways and are used by too<br />
many heavy vehicles.<br />
Two weeks ago we revealed<br />
they had called on the city council<br />
to set up a working party to<br />
thrash out and solve the issues.<br />
But city council boss Karleen<br />
Edwards (see page 1) has just<br />
sent out a memo saying no to the<br />
working party.<br />
Her staff have told her that<br />
the chances of a working party<br />
being able to effect change is<br />
“low”.<br />
So the city council will talk<br />
with the community board<br />
about solutions. No prizes for<br />
guessing for what the residents<br />
think.<br />

Young inventor’s looting solution<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
MICHAEL HANN likes fixing<br />
things.<br />
The 18-year-old always has.<br />
His earliest memory is helping<br />
his dad, Jody, put an electric<br />
motor on a tricycle. “When I<br />
see a problem, I like to think of<br />
ways to fix or improve it,” he<br />
said.<br />
The Papanui High School<br />
student saw a problem he could<br />
solve when medication and<br />
hearing equipment was stolen<br />
from a North New Brighton<br />
home during the tsunami<br />
evacuation after the Kaikoura<br />
earthquake last November.<br />
“Seeing the looting when the<br />
earthquake happened inspired<br />
me to create this product,” he<br />
said.<br />
So he designed a security<br />
system to be deployed in a<br />
natural disaster when the<br />
power goes out, and now he’s a<br />
finalist in the ASB Bright Sparks<br />
competition. It’s called TEMS,<br />
which Michael said stands<br />
for “temporary emergency<br />
monitoring system”.<br />
The invention acts as a battery<br />
charger for devices and a place<br />
to keep belongings locked inside<br />
during a disaster. It also has<br />
an alarm to keep houses safe<br />
when evacuated. It is triggered<br />
by the rocking caused by an<br />
earthquake and lights up an exit<br />
path. Michael’s now working<br />
on connecting TEMS to an<br />
app which would send a text if<br />
someone breaks in.<br />
“I really want to get it<br />
connected up to a phone<br />
network so it sends out a text or<br />
notification through an app,” he<br />

said. Michael will be flying up<br />
to Auckland on November 7 to<br />
attend the Bright Sparks awards<br />
evening.<br />
“It’s on the same night as my<br />
last high school prize-giving,<br />
but I’ve decided to go up to<br />
Auckland instead,” he said.<br />
With him will be his proud<br />
dad, from who Michael may<br />
have inherited the “fix it”<br />
gene. Mr Hann’s job involves<br />
repairing electronics for the<br />
police. “He doesn’t help me that<br />
much on my projects anymore<br />
but . . . we have wires and<br />
stuff lying around the house,”<br />
Michael said.<br />
He spends his free time on<br />
Trade Me, buying broken items<br />
to upgrade. “Sometimes it’s not<br />
even fixing things; I just like to<br />
make improvements like in my<br />
bedroom. I made a motorised<br />
blind to wake me up in the<br />
morning,” he said.<br />
Next year the budding<br />
inventor will study engineering<br />
at Canterbury University.<br />

Victim of drink driving shares his<br />
George Cairney’s life was completely changed<br />
in 2008 when he sat in the back of a car with a<br />
driver who had been drinking. The vehicle crashed<br />
into a brick wall at 135km/h. Mr Cairney, <strong>24</strong>, told<br />
his sobering story to students from Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School and the wider community on<br />
Wednesday. Here’s what he told the students<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
THANK YOU very much for<br />
having me here this evening, I<br />
think I have a lot of important<br />
information that can<br />
either help, if not save,<br />
your lives.<br />
And you may ask me<br />
what I mean?<br />
I may seem like a<br />
normal guy, just a<br />
regular Joe Blogg, but<br />
I’m sure by the end<br />
of my speech, by the<br />
end of my story, you’ll<br />
think very differently.<br />
At the time of my<br />
accident, I was back at<br />
King’s College. I was in seventh<br />
form in Auckland. I was loving<br />
school, absolutely loving it.<br />
I was in the school’s basketball<br />
team. School sports was a<br />
passion for me and I was loving<br />
school. I got As in English, which<br />
was fantastic. All of these things,<br />
all of these passions I loved, all of<br />
these things can be changed by<br />
George Cairney<br />
one decision, one bad decision.<br />
I would like to tell you about<br />
that now.<br />
I was at a party, it<br />
was about a month<br />
before my final exams.<br />
<strong>October</strong> 1, 2008. I was<br />
with a bunch of friends,<br />
I was at an 18 th party,<br />
and it was just a regular<br />
night.<br />
But I was drunk, this<br />
was my first mistake<br />
because getting drunk<br />
hinders your ability to<br />
make good decisions. It<br />
makes it really hard to<br />
say ‘hey, I don’t want to do that’.<br />
I asked my friend for a ride<br />
home because I was drunk and I<br />
couldn’t drive.<br />
He said he was sober, he said<br />
he hadn’t had anything to drink<br />
– how was I supposed to know<br />
that? Unless you plan it before or<br />
you keep an eye on it the whole<br />
night.<br />
He told me he was sober, this<br />
was not true. He’d had more<br />
than twice the legal limit to<br />
drive.<br />
We hopped in the car. This was<br />
my next mistake, one of<br />
many – I didn’t put on my seat<br />
belt.<br />
It’s so simple, it takes three<br />
seconds and it saves lives. I may<br />
have been in the back left side of<br />
the car but people still die.<br />
Then he started driving very<br />
fast. Extremely fast and very<br />
badly.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
sobering story with students<br />
I should’ve said: ‘Stop. Please<br />
pull over, I’m not comfortable,<br />
will you please let me out.’ It’s<br />
simple.<br />
That was the moment that<br />
changed my life forever.<br />
He was rounding a corner too<br />
fast on Remuera Rd in a 50km/h<br />
zone, going twice the speed<br />
limit-plus.<br />
He hit a power pole exactly<br />
where I was seated.<br />
We went through a garage<br />
door and halfway through a<br />
brick wall.<br />
I was in a coma for a month.<br />
When I woke up, I didn’t<br />
know I was there, I didn’t know<br />
what had happened because I<br />
don’t remember this night. I<br />
don’t remember a year and a<br />
half before this night or a year<br />
and a half after this night.<br />
Three years of my life is gone<br />
and I feel like I’m telling stories<br />
about another person.<br />
But these were my mistakes. It<br />
has affected my life hugely.<br />
I have diabetes, epilepsy,<br />
splenectomy – it took my spleen.<br />
These are the scars from<br />
one, two, three, four, five bad<br />
mistakes in one evening.<br />
I even had to have part of my<br />
skull replaced with titanium<br />
plating.<br />
My left leg was partially<br />
replaced with a titanium rod<br />
and behind this metal front is<br />
the part of my brain that was<br />
most damaged.<br />
Sure, I damaged the left<br />
and right lobe but the frontal<br />
lobe is what makes it hard to<br />
behave correctly, behave socially<br />
correctly and manage my own<br />
life.<br />
I can’t plan. I work with six<br />
carers part time, <strong>24</strong>/7.<br />
Every single day of my life is<br />
planned by someone else. That<br />
was not my plan when I was<br />
back at high school, this was not<br />
my plan when I was 17 years of<br />
age.<br />
But I made those mistakes.<br />
Partial loss of sight, partial<br />
loss of hearing, partial loss of<br />
smell.<br />
My left eye I can only see<br />
when I look in one direction.<br />
My right eye, I can’t see my<br />
hand when it’s right there.<br />
My left ear is deaf, which is a<br />
big bummer. I only have eight<br />
per cent taste left, which is a<br />
real bummer – I was a big food<br />
person.<br />
Not so much anymore.<br />
All of these things, all of these<br />
injuries, all of this crap in my<br />
life could’ve been prevented by<br />
just thinking before I did those<br />
things.<br />
Before I finish this speech,<br />
I just have a few questions for<br />
you.<br />
How would you think, how<br />
would you feel if you were in my<br />
position?<br />
How would you feel having all<br />
of this happen to you and you<br />
were in the middle of it?<br />
What would you do to stop it<br />
again? And how would you live?<br />
Because every day I get up, I<br />
feel like I have less motivation.<br />
Every day I get up, it’s hard.<br />
There are three things you<br />
have to remember.<br />
Don’t drink and drive. Come<br />
on, it’s not that hard, is it?<br />
Second thing, (when you) hop<br />
into a car, put your seat belt on.<br />
It’s three seconds of your life.<br />
Put your seat belt on, even<br />
if you’re in the back seat. They<br />
save lives. Millions of lives.<br />
And next, if your friend is<br />
driving dangerously, if he’s<br />
driving fast, if he’s driving<br />
drunk – tell him to pull over, tell<br />
him to stop the car.<br />
You shouldn’t be embarrassed<br />
to ask because they should<br />
be the ones embarrassed for<br />
putting your life in danger.<br />

Funding gives confidence to plan ahead<br />
Manager of the<br />
Neighbourhood<br />
Trust Ginny<br />
Larsen writes<br />
about how<br />
three years<br />
of funding<br />
has secured the trust’s<br />
future to the benefit of the<br />
community<br />
Funding – the very word is<br />
enough to send chills up the<br />
spine of most not-for-profit organisations.<br />
As the manager of Neighbourhood<br />
Trust, (the community arm<br />
of St Albans Baptist Church),<br />
a local not-for-profit working<br />
mainly in the Mairehau, Shirley<br />
and St Albans part of town, I<br />
feel like half my life is taken up<br />
with funding applications and<br />
accountabilities.<br />
So it is a nice surprise to have<br />
some funders making the process<br />
a bit easier by putting three-year<br />
funding as an option.<br />
This year both NZ Lotteries<br />
and the city council, through its<br />
community boards offered this<br />
alternative.<br />
And we are exceptionally grateful<br />
to the Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board for its grant.<br />
It must be hugely difficult<br />
making decisions, especially as<br />
the funds available to them have<br />
been cut by $85,000.<br />
So what does this mean for an<br />
organisation to have funds guaranteed<br />
for three years?<br />
It gives us confidence to plan<br />
and look ahead, to know we can<br />
retain our wonderfully effective<br />
staff and provide appropriate<br />
training to keep them up-to-date.<br />
It means we can continue to<br />
offer our community consistent,<br />
community-led work at a high<br />
level to a variety of sectors – the<br />
Golden Connections programme<br />
for over-60s; from exercise classes<br />
to community days; from free<br />
English as a second language<br />
classes to OSCAR programmes<br />
to the Pay It Forward collective<br />
of over 50 local designers, selling<br />
their products through the store<br />
at 49 Nancy Ave.<br />
It also means we can dream<br />
a little about working with our<br />
community in different ways,<br />
supporting and mentoring,<br />
listening to their aspirations for<br />
their whanau.<br />
Through the Mairehau Neighbourhood<br />
Project, a three-year<br />
COMMUNITY: The Neighbourhood Trust can focus on<br />
supporting the community now that it has secured three years<br />
of funding. <br />
project supported by The Tindall<br />
Foundation, we have seen transformational,<br />
long-term change;<br />
some remarkable stories.<br />
Working alongside partners<br />
Te Ora Hou and Kingdom<br />
Resources, with Mairehau<br />
Primary School as a base has<br />
brought a depth to our work with<br />
families.<br />
We have seen the value of<br />
longer-term thinking and are<br />
delighted that this work can<br />
now continue to develop. It’s<br />
energising and empowering for<br />
our organisation and for our<br />
community.<br />
On one hand, we are humbled<br />
by the trust funders have put in<br />
us; on the other hand, we’d love<br />
to see the process made easier for<br />
all those organisations who have<br />
a proven track record and give<br />
great value for money.<br />
Let’s release them from the<br />
application grind and free them<br />
for more time making things<br />
happen.<br />

Readers respond to<br />
the article regarding<br />
construction of another<br />
set of lights on Main North<br />
Rd outside Northlands<br />
Shopping Centre.<br />
Glenda McMillan – Maybe<br />
the people who decide these designs<br />
should take a look at some<br />
Australian malls. All their busses<br />
detour into the malls so all other<br />
traffic doesn’t have to deal with<br />
a shambles like Papanui Rd has<br />
become. It’s a real shame as there<br />
is a big impact on the local community<br />
with increased traffic<br />
that doesn’t flow.<br />
Conrad Fitz-Gerald –<br />
Pretty convenient really. I mean,<br />
you don’t even have to find a<br />
park anymore. Just jump out at<br />
the start of the lights and you’ll<br />
be back before you need to go<br />
anywhere. Great way to keep customers<br />
happy.<br />
Unearthed<br />
Excavating our stock room we have brought some<br />
hidden gems to light.<br />
Historic through to recent works will be displayed in<br />
an exhibition unlike any we have held before. Any<br />
artwork can be taken on the purchase day for the<br />
ticket price, no need to wait until the end of the<br />
show. You can also take the silent auction option,<br />
make a respectful written offer to the artist. At the<br />
end of the show the highest bid will be considered,<br />
perhaps it will be yours, a chance to get an artwork<br />
‘for a song’.<br />
Delve into the wonderful paintings, sculptures and<br />
prints by emerging and established artists. Some<br />
of the participants are Robin Slow, Brent Forbes,<br />
Anna Dalzell, Chris Pole, Jane Downes, Hamish<br />
Southcott, Carol Stensrud, Chris Moore, Rae West,<br />
Jill Perrott, Barb Warren and many more.<br />
That esoteric artwork that has haunted you for<br />
years may be back to tempt you, others may<br />
seem like old friends, whatever, it will certainly be<br />
a diverse and intriguing show. Presales welcome.<br />

Darryn Bennett – I’d love<br />
to meet the brainless imbecile<br />
who thought this was a good<br />
idea. Can’t they just stick to<br />
ruining the CBD and leave the<br />
suburbs alone?<br />
Jill Lang – In my opinion<br />
the money would be better spent<br />
putting in much needed right<br />
turning lights. Since the turning<br />
rule was changed some places are<br />
hideous such as Cranford St onto<br />
Innes Rd.<br />
Mike Allfrey – Chuck in a<br />
couple of roundabouts and a<br />
railway crossing while you’re at<br />
it. Way to go council, lets stuff up<br />
the whole traffic flow. And they<br />
wonder why people don’t go to<br />
the CBD. It’s the same but worse<br />
there.<br />
Andrew Miller – The Papanui<br />
High School students that<br />
walk straight out onto the road<br />
will keep doing it.<br />
Aaron Campbell – Don’t<br />
forget the useless traffic islands<br />
with trees and a cycle path that<br />
takes up most of the road and<br />
you are on to a winner.<br />
Vanessa MacKenzie –<br />
Where? There are lights at the<br />
corner by Westpac, there are<br />
lights at the closest entrance<br />
to Countdown and lights by<br />
Couplands. If people are crossing<br />
CROSSING: A new signalised pedestrian crossing is being installed outside Northlands<br />
Shopping Centre between Halliwell Ave and Langdons Rd.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN <br />
unsafely, shouldn’t they be penalised<br />
for it? Most crossing are<br />
grown-ups who know better.<br />
Jacque Skinner – This is<br />
getting ridiculous! They’ve also<br />
put completely unnecessary<br />
crossing lights in on Sawyers<br />
Arms Rd at the Papanui Club.<br />
There are lights down just a bit<br />
at the Gardiners Rd intersection<br />
so this is going to cause even<br />
more congestion especially<br />
after school. There was already<br />
a crossing bay there that cars<br />
would often stop for so lights are<br />
a waste of money which could<br />
have been used to put lights<br />
where really need such as the<br />
hideous Breens/Harewood/Gardiners<br />
Rds intersection.<br />
Rachel Powell – It’s already<br />
so slow going that way it’s quicker<br />
to go around back streets to<br />
avoid Papanui Rd do they really<br />
need more lights in that area.<br />

•From page 1<br />
Concerned resident James<br />
Wilding said it was difficult to<br />
comprehend there would be a<br />
“low” chance of change with a<br />
working group.<br />
“Fundamental city council policy<br />
includes listening to and working<br />
with communities, creating<br />
healthy and safe communities and<br />
elected members making decisions.<br />
We want to work with the city<br />
council,” he said.<br />
Dr Edwards sent the memo after<br />
city council staff recommended<br />
the issues could be “sufficiently<br />
addressed” by having a work shop<br />
with the community board next<br />
month. That workshop would not<br />
include the public, which Mr Wilding<br />
said was “difficult to reconcile”.<br />
One issue Mr Wilding was<br />
expressly concerned about is the<br />
width of the cycleway on Idris Rd.<br />
Dr Edwards said the section of<br />
the cycle lane would be remarked<br />
by November. But Mr Wilding said<br />
the city council has only acknowledged<br />
one section of the cycle lane<br />
does not comply, when there are<br />
more than 10.<br />
The memo will be discussed<br />
by the community board at its<br />
meeting tonight.<br />

Bypass almost finished<br />
Open Day<br />
planned for<br />
<strong>October</strong> 29<br />
THE WESTERN Belfast Bypass<br />
project is almost finished.<br />
Construction of the 5km,<br />
four-lane stretch of road which<br />
will aim to cut down traffic from<br />
Main North Rd to the airport is<br />
95 per cent complete.<br />
Work is to set to ramp up over<br />
the next few weeks as the project<br />
draws to a close.<br />
Traffic will be switched onto<br />
the new bypass in stages from<br />
early November after an open<br />
day on <strong>October</strong> 29 for people to<br />
walk or cycle along the new road.<br />
A north-bound lane will open<br />
to traffic first, followed by a<br />
south-bound lane about a week<br />
later.<br />
The stagnated opening will<br />
allow the project team to<br />
complete the final parts of the<br />
project, such as connecting<br />
the bypass to the existing road<br />
network and carrying out<br />
surfacing work on the ramps.<br />
A temporary speed limit and<br />
traffic management will be in<br />
place while the team finishes the<br />
remaining sections of the<br />

and set to open in November. <br />
project. Depending on the<br />
weather, all lanes of the bypass<br />
should be open to traffic in<br />
December.<br />
The construction team will<br />
return to lay the final low noise<br />
asphalt surfacing in spring 2018.<br />
About 118,000 plants, shrubs<br />
and trees have been planted<br />
along the bypass.<br />
Most have been grown from<br />
seeds and cuttings sourced from<br />
native plants in the area.<br />
During the project, more than<br />
3500 native fish, including long<br />
fin and short fin eels, giant bully<br />
and inanga, have been rescued<br />
and relocated to other parts of<br />
the waterway.<br />
Where the bypass travels over<br />
waterways, culverts have been<br />
designed to allow fish passages<br />
and riparian planting has been<br />
restored with native species.<br />

the community network building<br />
every Tuesday.<br />
It is also focused on raising<br />
enough money to cover the<br />
“shortfall” in insurance.<br />
Ms O’Rourke said there would<br />
be a shortfall in terms of the insurance<br />
payout due to the high<br />
demolition costs.<br />
“We’ve had huge support from<br />
the community and playcentres<br />

Canty girls score national hockey titles<br />
SPORTS<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
CANTERBURY’S under-15<br />
B girls hockey team have been<br />
crowned national champions for<br />
the sixth year in a row.<br />
The squad, made up mostly<br />
of students from north-west<br />
schools, travelled to Timaru to<br />
compete earlier this month.<br />
Their only loss came in pool<br />
play at the hands of Wanganui<br />
(2-3). They beat Manawatu<br />
(12-0), Thames Valley (7-0) and<br />
Hawkes Bay (4-0) before beating<br />
Waikato 4-0 in the quarter-final.<br />
After a tough 2-1 win over<br />
hosts South Canterbury in<br />
the semi-final, they faced<br />
Wellington. Christchurch Girls’<br />
High’s Sophie Bowden slotted<br />
home the winner from a penalty<br />
corner with 4min to go.<br />
She then added another after<br />
Wellington subbed their goalie,<br />
to close out the game 4-2.<br />
Villa Maria’s Kate Davies<br />
was the top scorer for the side<br />
netting eight goals during the<br />
tournament.<br />
The under-15 A girls team<br />
also won a national title after<br />
travelling to North Harbour.<br />
The team, made up entirely of<br />
north-west school students,<br />
went through the tournament<br />
undefeated.<br />
They finished top of their pool<br />
with wins against Otago (6-0),<br />
Taranaki (4-0) and Northland<br />
(1-0) before following this up<br />
with a tough quarter-final 2-1<br />
victory against Waikato.<br />
They then had a 2-1 win<br />
against Auckland in their semifinal<br />
before finishing<br />
off a fantastic week with a<br />
hard-fought 1-0 win against<br />
hosts North Harbour in the<br />
final.<br />
Rangi’s Tessa Reid smashed<br />
MULTIPLE CHAMPIONS: The Canterbury under-15 B girls team<br />

The under-15 A boys were<br />
unsuccessful in defending their<br />
2016 title, coming up short<br />
in Nelson and finishing their<br />
tournament in fourth.<br />

Morel bowls start of season SPORTS<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
CANTERBURY’S most<br />
decorated bowler has got her<br />
season off to another great start.<br />
Bev Morel won the South<br />
Island chartered clubs women’s<br />
championship fours title this<br />
month.<br />
Playing with her longtime<br />
partner and sister Theresa<br />
Woodham, as well as Sherrie<br />
Cottle and Margaret Pilkington,<br />
the team overcame stiff competition<br />
from 54 teams throughout<br />
the South Island.<br />
“In the final, the three girls<br />
played outstanding and I played<br />
average,” she said.<br />
“Luckily, my opponent struggled<br />
as well. It was just one of<br />
those games.”<br />
It was another win for the<br />
Redwood resident, who turns 76<br />
in November.<br />
She was recently awarded her<br />
35th Canterbury centre title by<br />
Bowls Canterbury president<br />
Brian Barker at the Elmwood<br />
Park Club, the most by any<br />
woman bowler in the region.<br />
Morel still trains four days<br />
a week at the gym as well as<br />
mentoring and coaching new<br />
bowlers at her local club.<br />
With the national open championships<br />
approaching, she will<br />
be looking to add to her three<br />
titles. “I am looking forward to<br />
nationals. I have been to a few,”<br />
she said.<br />
One of her standout memories<br />
HONOURED: Bev Morel was presented with her 35th Canterbury centre title by Bowls<br />
Canterbury president Brian Barker at the Elmwood Park Club.<br />
as a bowler was from a national<br />
event in Dunedin in 1998.<br />
“My brother died while I was<br />
down there playing and my sister<br />
was in my team,” she said.<br />
“We played for our brother<br />
and won it. We knew he was<br />
going to pass away and we both<br />
missed his funeral. He told us<br />
to go there and win the title and<br />
we did.”<br />
Morel started playing in 1981<br />
after making the change from<br />
indoor bowls to outdoor as her<br />
friend and husband were already<br />
playing outdoor bowls.<br />
In spite of Morel’s success, she<br />
has never been in the national<br />
team, known as the Blackjacks.<br />
“Problem is it is an age thing.<br />
(I was) told in my 50s I was too<br />
old,” she said.<br />
She said there is a definite age<br />
culture bias with the selectors.<br />
“They might deny it but<br />
they have an age culture,” she<br />
said.<br />

Finally It Is<br />
Here<br />
Concrete homes may be<br />
the way of the future<br />
Compass Homes Canterbury have completed<br />
construction of their concrete<br />
show home in Prestons Park, Burwood –<br />
the first of its kind in the South Island.<br />
With this type of construction, specially<br />
formulated concrete is poured into aluminium<br />
building forms, then left to set.<br />
This allows all the walls to be poured at<br />
the property in one solid piece.<br />
Christchurch General Manager for Compass<br />
Homes, Yolande Mintrom, says she<br />
and her team are very excited to see the<br />
launch of ‘The Concrete Home’.<br />
“Its benefits are speed, eco-friendliness,<br />
versatility and warmth,” Yolande says.<br />
Metal mesh made in New Zealand is used<br />
for reinforcing, she says, providing a<br />
structure that has a very high earthquake,<br />
flood and fire resistance, as well as an extremely<br />
high thermal efficiency.<br />
“The thermal mass of concrete homes<br />
is more efficient than conventional<br />
wooden homes. It reduces the energy<br />
required, and therefore the expense of<br />
heating or cooling your home.”<br />
Yolande also points out that concrete<br />
homes are beneficial for those suffering<br />
from allergies, as concrete doesn’t<br />
support the growth of mould or mildew.<br />
It tends to also have lower ongoing<br />
maintenance costs, which she<br />
puts down to the fact that it is less<br />
absorbent than other materials.<br />
This weekend, Compass Homes will<br />
be opening the doors to the very first<br />
Concrete Show Home in Canterbury,<br />
and it will be the first of many,<br />
Yolande says.<br />
“The finish, the features, the duty of<br />
care is evident in every corner of this<br />
well-positioned home, situated at 33<br />
Preston Park Road, Burwood. Come<br />
and have a look for yourself.”<br />

open 12 pm—4 pm, Wednesday to<br />

Lindisfarne Nursery School<br />
Lindisfarne Nursery School was<br />
established by Tricia Cuthbert in 1987 and<br />
remains part of the Cuthbert family today.<br />
We are committed to Christchurch, to our<br />
community, our Lindisfarne families, and<br />
most importantly the futures and happiness<br />
of our children.<br />
We believe in developing children’s<br />
Keeping up with what girls<br />
want includes Herbology<br />
with Professor Sprout<br />
Part of the magic of being a girl-led<br />
organisation is that GirlGuiding New<br />
Zealand can offer camps and activities<br />
that girls really love. A recent example is<br />
a Harry Potter camp held in Christchurch<br />
by Westburn Guides and Brownies which<br />
saw girls enjoying lessons on herbology,<br />
potions, duels, Quiddich and care of<br />
magical creatures.<br />

Our teachers all hold a Diploma of<br />
Teaching in Early Childhood, and one<br />
holds a Diploma of Teaching in Primary<br />
as well as early childhood. She prepares<br />
the four year olds for school through an<br />
informal and brief daily ‘lesson’ time which<br />
the children love to take part in.<br />
We have a separate nursery with an<br />
outdoor area where the children discover<br />

We are a strong multi-cultural centre<br />

The two-day camp was a fantastic<br />
example of how GirlGuiding New Zealand<br />
brings girls together to challenge them,<br />
excite them to learn new things, make<br />
friends and above all, have fun.<br />

people who can share their skills with the<br />
girls and young women in their community.<br />

your unique talents to good use, develop<br />

FASHION: Model Cirrus Tan shows off designer Cindy Weiss’ land of the long<br />
white cloud design at the Art Couture NZ wearable arts competition.<br />
Harewood<br />
designer’s<br />
wearable<br />
creation<br />
HAREWOOD‘S Cindy Weiss was among<br />
the designers who unleashed their weird<br />
and wonderful art in Selwyn’s first<br />
wearable arts competition.<br />
Art Couture NZ brought its first fashion<br />
show to life in Tai Tapu, attracting about<br />
150 people through the door.<br />
The show, judged by designer Loretta<br />
Sloan and artists Steve Henderson<br />
and Blanche Fryer, featured about 29<br />
designers.<br />
Ms Weiss created a New Zealandinspired<br />
outfit titled ‘land of the long<br />
white cloud’.<br />
The dress was made of merino wool and<br />
seaweed.<br />
Organiser Kim Strange said the dress<br />
was a “beautiful garment that was well<br />
constructed”.<br />
Mrs Strange said people were stunned<br />
at the quality of the garments and the<br />
creativity of the designers.<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
BEAUTY: Designers from around<br />
the country descended on Tai Tapu<br />
for the wearable arts competition,<br />
including Auckland’s Leanne Day and<br />
model Laura Murton with this<br />
award-winning madame bride design.<br />
“It was just nice watching everyone’s<br />
faces. You just saw everyone getting a lot<br />
of pleasure from it . . . we have got very<br />
clever people,” she said.<br />
The competition, hosted by city<br />
councillor Anne Galloway, included<br />
designs ranging from a phoenix-style<br />
dress to futuristic themed items.<br />
The audience also had the chance to mix<br />
with the designers and models.<br />
“People were able to see the outfits up<br />
close and go and talk to the designers to<br />
see how they made them . . . they seemed<br />
to enjoy that,” Mrs Strange said.<br />
She’ll see<br />
opportunities<br />
not obstacles<br />
Build up you daughters’<br />
confidence levels so<br />
she can conquer her<br />
mountains. We have<br />
spaces in our local<br />
Pippin, Brownie and<br />
Guide groups for her to<br />
start her adventure.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
Clinic offers easy<br />
solution to varicose veins<br />
If varicose veins are a problem for you, the<br />
dedicated, professional team at Transform<br />
Clinic in Mandeville Street Riccarton can<br />
provide the perfect solution.<br />
Firstly, they will give you a free<br />
assessment of your veins, and then suggest<br />
the appropriate method of treatment,<br />
depending on the condition of the veins.<br />
There are two methods available –<br />
endo-venous laser treatment, which is<br />
used for both smaller and larger veins,<br />
and ultrasound guided sclerotherapy.<br />
Both are easy and straightforward, and<br />
you can be fully active immediately<br />
afterwards, without needing to take any<br />
time off work, or curtail your normal<br />
activities. The only requirement is for you<br />
to wear special stockings for two weeks<br />
following treatment, and daily walking is<br />
recommended.<br />
Both these treatments give long-term<br />
relief from the pain and discomfort of<br />
varicose veins, and as Transform Clinic’s<br />
Jenny Little points out, they have become<br />
the treatment method of today, with<br />
surgical removal of varicose veins now<br />
considered obsolete.<br />
Jenny advises having treatment as early<br />
as possible when varicose veins start to<br />
appear, as left untreated they may lead to<br />
venous ulcers and venous eczema, although<br />
if these have developed, Transform Clinic<br />
can treat them as well.<br />
Transform Clinic has an affiliation<br />
with health provider Southern Cross and<br />
relationships with several other health<br />
insurance companies, which means you are<br />
usually covered for treatment, providing it<br />
is included in your policy.<br />
Transform Clinic also offers a full range<br />
of appearance medicine options, including<br />
skin rejuvenation and skin-tightening<br />
treatments designed to improve skin quality<br />
and enhance self-esteem. They remove<br />
superficial veins on the legs and face, and<br />
also provide mole mapping, mole removal<br />
and primary skin cancer removal. Their<br />
website, www.transformclinic.co.nz, has<br />
information on all the various treatments<br />
available.<br />
“We are a ‘one-stop shop’ for all cosmetic<br />
medicine treatments,” says Jenny.<br />
Transform Clinic is discreetly located<br />
at 52a Mandeville Street. Opening hours<br />
are Monday to Friday from 8.30am, with<br />
late nights on Tuesday and Thursday,<br />
and Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Phone<br />

Lana Doublet says she is ‘over the moon’ aer<br />
claiming the NZ Country Music Awards<br />
Songwriter of the Year for the 3rd consecutive<br />
year.<br />
“e song that won my recent title is called<br />
'Together Apart' - inspired aer watching an<br />
Attitude Live documentary of the same name<br />
that told a beautifully sad story about how a<br />
family lived with the struggle of dementia.”<br />
Taking place in Rotorua on Saturday 14th<br />
<strong>October</strong>, the prestigious NZCMA event is<br />
considered the pinnacle for winners of<br />
regional Country Music competitions.<br />
“I've always had a love of music and<br />
storytelling but it wasn't until I was<br />
introduced to the country music scene aer<br />
meeting my husband Phil Doublet, that I was<br />
able to combine the two,” said Lana. “I have<br />
always been very stage-shy, and still get<br />
extremely nervous, so thankful for the<br />
constant support and encouragement from<br />
family and friends telling me 'I can'.”<br />
And ‘she has’. Over the past few years Lana<br />
has claimed numerous awards, including<br />

As the <strong>2017</strong> year comes to an end many people are<br />
making choices for 2018 with many people choosing<br />
to move home, change schools, buy a car and<br />
organise another holiday.<br />
We make important choices throughout our life; what schools our<br />
children will go to, what food we eat, what friends we have, where<br />
to go on holiday, and the values we instil in our children. Two of<br />
the biggest choices we have to make are; where we live and when<br />
to sell and buy. A crucial component of the process is selecting<br />
the right licensed real estate salesperson to guide you through the<br />
mountain of information and industry jargon. A salesperson can<br />
assist in the important task of identifying the right buyer for your<br />
house, as well as understanding your unique requirements and<br />
make your next dream home a reality. It takes great negotiation and<br />
sales skills teamed with effective target marketing to deliver the<br />
very best results. Kathryn and Peter can offer you an exceptional<br />
real estate experience. Working as a team we collectively together<br />
want to achieve the very best results and the best outcome. Give us<br />
a call today, we would really like to hear from you.<br />

Client Comments<br />
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<br />
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<br />
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<br />
communication and buyer feedback was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Their professional attitude and honesty gave us confidence to trust his decisions.<br />
We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter and Kathryn Hampton to anybody looking at selling their house.<br />
Brian and Maryanne<br />
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<br />
calm demeanours and your straight forward and clear communication (without any annoying jargon!) The selling price was above our expectations and that<br />
was down to your hard work and experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.<br />
Cherry<br />
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<br />
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<br />
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<br />
relationship, as well as the ever important sale, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.<br />
Brent<br />
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<br />
really loved Kathryn assistance to get the house looking fantastic for the open homes.<br />
