Loss of
parking
will hit
business
• By Julia Evans
PAPANUI SMALL businesses
fear they will struggle if on-street
parking in Main North Rd is taken
away for a bus lane.
The city council has proposed
22 parks be removed between
Harewood Rd and Grassmere St
including all parking outside The
China Kitchen and Super Liquor.
China Kitchen owner Stella Li
said she expects profits would drop
by 50 per cent.
“It will destroy our small business…it’s
very shocking, the city
council should be helping small
businesses,” she said.
On the north side of the road 16
spaces would be lost and heading
towards the city, six.
“Some car parks will need to be
removed in order to accommodate
the bus lanes and bus stops but
there is available parking behind
the businesses on Main North Rd
for customers to use,’’ city council
manager planning, transport and
delivery Lynette Ellis said.
She said the city council would
improve signage directing customers
to off-street parking.
There are three car parks behind
the China Kitchen, which are not
for public use.

FROM

EDITOR’S
DESK News.................................3, 6-7
YOU HAVE to sympathise with
Papanui businesses as they face
the prospect of losing car parks
outside their stores (see page 1).
The city council is proposing
to get rid of 22 car parks between
Harewood Rd and Grassmere St.
Proposing generally means that’s
what will happen.
And no surprises the affected
businesses aren’t happy.
The car parks will be taken away
to make way for bus lanes, and
that is the dilemma.
Christchurch is an ever expanding
city and with that comes more
traffic. We do need to be encouraging
public transport, cycling and
other ways getting from A to B.
There is no simple answer.

Pothole police pound pavement
• By Julia Evans
THE NORTH-WEST has its
own pothole patroller.
Papanui-Innes Community
Board member John Stringer has
been conducting a personal hunt
for any potholes as he traverses
the ward.
“Following
a historically
high September
rainfall and
aggravated by a
lot of heavy transport
in north-west
John
Stringer
Christchurch,
there has been a
proliferation of
deep potholes
emerging in Papanui, some
several inches deep at busy intersections,”
he said.
Mr Stringer said they are
dangerous for cyclists and he’s
spotted several near the new
Papanui Parallel cycleway.
“Many of the worst potholes
are occurring next to the newly
completed cycleways where
traffic has been narrowed
and the extra tyre stress has
aggravated the road surfaces,”
he said.
Mr Stringer also said he
noticed surface flooding caused
by shingle coming out of several
of the potholes.

He also found potholes outside
the entrance to Northlands

Mr Stringer said the best way
to report potholes was to use the
city council’s Snap Send Solve
app or phone 941 8999.
“The city council can’t be
everywhere so the role of local
community board members and
residents is to be the eyes and

such as potholes,” he said.

In Brief
Fire rages, homes at risk
HEAD-ON COLLISION RISK
To reduce the risk of a head-on
crash, no-stopping restrictions
will be put in place on Waimairi
Rd, Burnside. When vehicles park
on the south side of the road, it
forces passing vehicles to cross
the centre line, which could cause
a head-on crash. The Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood Community
Board approved the no-stopping
restrictions outside 303 and 305
Waimairi Rd at its meeting last
week.
DANGEROUS TREE GONE
A dangerous tree in St Albans has
now become firewood. The semimature
ash tree was outside 90
Bishop St. It was removed by the
city council due to “concerns for
public safety”. A city council staff
report said investigations into the
health and structural integrity of
the tree concluded it needed to
be removed. It was bent over and
protruded onto the street.
CYCLEWAY HOLD UP
Work on the Northern Line
cycleway between Harewood
Rd and Restell St has been
temporarily stopped. The work
on Restell St has been completed
but the city council has to wait for
traffic signals and a pedestrian
crossing to be approved by
KiwiRail before it can continue
work on Harewood Rd.

Principal’s uplifting spring message
St Margaret’s
College
executive
principal Gillian
Simpson writes
about the
importance of
young people
looking after their mental
health in the modern world
SPRING BRINGS light and
hope with each day as we watch
bulbs emerge from winter sleep.
Blossom and leaf buds promise
new life. Children and lambs
frolic in the warming sunshine
and we look to spring clean
our homes. Perhaps we need
to spring clean our minds and
bodies too.
Everywhere we are bombarded
with messages about well-being
and mental health as major
issues for the western world.
Post-earthquake Christchurch
has its own issues around posttraumatic
stress and we are still
seeing evidence of this in our St
Margaret’s College community.
We appear to be in search of
a hedonistic “happiness”, which
is often material, superficial and
fleeting. There is much current
research that indicates that true
“happiness”, which is deep and
sustained and leads to lifelong
EMPOWER: Young people are encouraged to look after
their mental health and well-being.
well-being, can be attained only
through living a life with gratitude
and compassion for others.
We worry for the well-being
of our young women in a world
where they look for instant
gratification, constant reassurance
and affirmation in their
search for perfection.
Social media has contributed
to the rising anxiety and feelings
of inadequacy for many vulnerable
teenagers. Social media has
provided another vehicle for
unkind and negative behaviours
to damage our young women’s
self-esteem.
Pastoral care and well-being
programmes are challenged
in all sectors and St Margaret’s
College is constantly reviewing
and adapting practices and
programmes to best support our
students, parents and staff to live
well and thrive. We are currently
undergoing a full review
of our well-being systems and
programmes. We keep teachers
abreast of the latest trends,

website has a link to a parent

The St Margaret’s College
graduate profile attributes have
been developed by the staff and
the trust board and identified as
important to well-being and success,
empowering young women
to “live and lead”.
A message for young people –
just try these simple things:
Take time to breathe and feel
your life giving breath.
Take time to grieve and feel the
pain – that’s OK.
Take time to heal and regain
your strength.
Take time to listen to your
heart and to others.
Take time to think and reflect
and learn.
Take time to be brave and
stand for what you believe.
Take time to give and to serve
others as it is in giving that we
receive.
Take time to love as it is in
loving that we are loved.
Take time to be thankful for
true gratitude brings peace and
happiness.
Take time to find the positive
and the beauty in this
world.
Take time to just “be” the
beautiful girl you are.
You make this world a better
place for your being in it.
Love yourself unconditionally.

Michael Oliver – Going to

Readers also respond to
the article regarding plans
for a third lane across the
Waimakariri River
Mike Allfrey – If the third lane
will take pressure off the old Main
North Rd, wouldn’t it be safer for
cyclists to use it, rather than put
them nearer to the motorway?
Last time I looked, it’s illegal to
cycle on the motorway so why put
cyclists near it?
Trevor Taylor – Considering
95 per cent of vehicles only have
the driver in them, this lane will
make bugger all difference then.
Hayden Allan – Is the traffic
really backed up from the end of
the motorway to the Waimakariri
Bridge? I think we need to look at
that first. I just don’t feel putting
an extra lane in will do much but
move the bottle neck down to
where it will have to merge.
Yvonne Pender – Listen to
the radio reports every morning
and you know how bad it is. The
widening of the lanes is long
overdue.

David Butler – The clip-on

Amanda White – Great idea.
Cheaper than a whole new bridge
and the high occupancy lanes
work well in Auckland.
Kevin Geard – The only
winners of high occupancy lanes
are trucks, busses, electric vehicles
and flying nuns. The camera
wielding city council tax men are
punishing couriers that throw
a mannequin in the seat beside
them just to get the job done.
Blair Woodhouse – Five
to seven years late, but great
nonetheless.
Steven Branca – I hope they
design the beams so pigeons can’t
roost on them.
Helen Young – Why three
lanes? Wouldn’t it be better to put
a new double lane bridge over
the river long-term than a third
lane. It seems silly to make it three
lanes.

The competition required
handlers to guide their dogs
through varied obstacle courses
in the fastest time possible,
without making mistakes.
The obstacles included tunnels,
ramps and jumpers.
Jess said it was the best
results she and her dogs had
achieved.
The 17-year-old has been
working with dogs for as long
she could remember, first starting
out running her parent’s
dogs around courses before she
properly learnt to train dogs
when she was about eight.
She has been based Selwyn
Dog Training Club for two
years and has trained eight
dogs so far.
She said the training takes a
lot of patience and it all comes
down to working out what
motivates a dog.
Jess said her two dogs’
personalities are the complete
opposites.
Swag is sweet, cuddly and
more trustworthy on the obstacle
course where as Rapid is
fast, crazy and more unpredictable.

Council
initiates uni
parking review
• By Julia Evans
PARKING restrictions around
Canterbury University are set to
tighten.
On-street parking through Fendalton
and Ilam is being audited
by the city council.
The 1996 city council introduced
a comprehensive parking
plan named The University
Parking Plan, but staff said the
demand for parks has increased
beyond that.
In response the city council has
initiated a review and is seeking
community feedback.
The first leg of the audit would
see tighter restrictions on the Fendalton
and Ilam streets, Hamilton
Ave, Lothian St, Ilam Rd, Tuirau
Pl, Swanleigh Pl, Ryeland Ave and
Braithwaite St.
These areas are are currently
P120 between 9am and 5pm
from March to November – the
city council is proposing this be
changed to P120 between 9am
and 5pm year round.
Residents have expressed
concerns about the number of
vehicles parking on their streets.
The public can give feedback
on the proposal through the city
council’s website.
Police patrols increase near school
• By Julia Evans
AN INCREASED police
presence is putting the brakes
on speeding motorists near St
Albans School.
Acting Sergeant James
McClurg said police had added
the area to their patrol round.
He said recent changes to
lengthen the
red light phase
at Cranford
and Berwick
Sts, as well as
Westminster and
Cranford Sts,
Ali Jones
had also “made a
difference” to the
safety of children.
The patrols are part of
solutions to ongoing problems of
pupils safety on the roads.
They were set out during
a meeting between St Albans
School, the city council and
police in a bid to stop the
dangerous driving, speed and
traffic issues putting the safety
of pupils in jeopardy, Papanui-
Innes Community Board
chairwoman Ali Jones said.
The “quick wins” included the
increased police presence, which
deputy principal Claire Howison
said is making a difference.
Other plans included more
monitoring of the 3min dropoff
spot on Westminster St,
installation of more 3min dropoff
zones and yellow lines on
Sheppard Pl.
Ms Howison said the
school didn’t quite have the
“man-power” to increase the
monitoring yet, although
the police presence had been
“wonderful”.
However, Ms Jones said it was
not only about “band-aid” fixes
– the meeting was also about
looking at long-term solutions.
“We don’t want to be fire
fighting on a daily basis, we
want to take a more holistic
approach and deal with the
future as well,” she said.
City council traffic engineer
Penny Grey is planning an audit
for the area’s roads.
It will start shortly to help
deal with the predicted increase
in traffic from the Northern
Arterial.
City council staff are also
investigating the possibility

Loss of parking will hit business
•From page 1
“Our staff don’t finish until
10.30 or 11pm. We don’t want
them to have to walk, it’s quite
dangerous,” she said.
Super Liquor owner Carolyn
Moffat said while her business
has some spaces out back, there
are not enough.
“It’s a glib statement saying
they’ll put in more signage,” Ms
Moffat said. She said the city
council hasn’t understood “strip
shopping.”
“People pull in if they can get a
park, if not they keep going,” Ms
Moffat said.
Mrs Li said people driving
home would phone in for takeaway
and quickly pull into a park
on the street, grab their food and
a bottle of wine before carrying
on.
“They won’t stop if there are
no parks because it’s easy to keep
going for another block and go
to a different restaurant,” she
said.
But Ms Moffat isn’t entirely
unhappy with the proposal, she
is glad to see something being
done about the traffic.
“I just think they need to
look at it again. The bus lane
shouldn’t be full time. There’s

no congestion on a Saturday or
Sunday afternoon.”
And she said some parks
should remain. Though it doesn’t
have to be all of them.
The city council has proposed
other measures to prioritise
buses and ease congestion on
Main North Rd.
It plans to extend the operating
hours of the part-time bus
lane between Mary and Homer
Sts, install a left turn lane from
Langdons Rd onto Main North
Rd and replace a give-way sign
at Northlands Shopping Centre
with traffic lights.
The public can have their

be an information event at the

Fire rages, homes at risk
Bid to ease
congestion
outside school
gets approval
• By Julia Evans
A BID to ease congestion on a
narrow street outside Selwyn
House School has been approved.
The city council is set to put
3min parking restrictions in place
on Merivale Lane after receiving
approval from the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood Community
Board.
The move comes after the
school approached city council
staff with a request for an
on-site visit to look at solutions
for the pick-up and drop-off
congestion.
“The reason this request has
been initiated is that the school
requires a safe area for parents
and caregivers to park and pickup
and drop-off children,” a city
council staff report said.
The 3min parking area outside
the school is currently P120
between 8am and 4pm on school
days. It will change to P120
between 9am and 3pm on school
days and P3 from 8am to 9am and
3pm to 4pm.
The project will cost $1200 and
be completed four weeks after the
city council selects a contractor.

St Andrew’s dominate Zonta awards
• By Andrew King
ST ANDREW’S College
athletes cleaned up at the
Zonta Sports Awards last
week.
Previous winner and former
world under-23 cross-country
mountain bike champion
Anton Cooper spoke at the
awards which were initially
created to recognise the high
achievements of young sportswomen
in Canterbury, but
later became a combined
women’s and men’s event.
St Andrew’s had winners in
five of the six award categories.
Lawrence Arundell took
out the boys award for his involvement
in the school’s trap
shooting team.
Christina Shepherd won the
award for outstanding achievement
by a female athlete with

Success with gadgets and gizmos
THREE BURNSIDE High School
students have made the finals of a

Felix Backhouse developed a
system that uses drones and hyper

bird populations.
He said the idea came when
he realised the Department of
Conservation and Forest and Bird
currently use groups of people
to do bird counts and monitor
populations.
“Given the quick-moving
nature of birds, the fact many are
camouflaged and the likelihood
of human error, this system can
be quite imprecise. My project is
aimed at improving the process
and making it more reliable,”
Felix said.
Vincent Lee’s gadget is an
“all-in-one” device that tells you
information on the weather,
buses, prices for holidays, the
status of different appliances and

“There is a lot of stuff on the
internet that enables you to access
this information, but it takes time
to access. So I decided to design
a device that makes these tasks
more convenient to access, and
means things can get done faster.”
Jack Breurkes invented a
physics game for mobile devices

HEALTH & BEAUTY
Health food business
built on family ties
Established in 1988, the Christchurchbased
New Zealand Health Food
Company is a real family affair.
For founder Rob Haines, the aim was to
supply indigenous New Zealand natural
products to national and international
manufacturers. The success of these
products soon led to the development of
the company’s own retail brands, and right
from the start Rob’s mother Joan played
an active role in the business, as a mentor
and assisting with operations, right up till
when she retired at the age of 82.
Rob’s daughter Ellie is part of the team
as the web and social media administrator
for the company, while his son Sam is
the sales manager. Selina, Rob’s other
daughter, has also joined the team out in
production, alongside her husband Doug,
who is the operations manager. All are
learning all the aspects of the company
and continuing what they hope is a long
family tradition.
The strong family bonds and shared
values are reflected in the workplace, with
their skilled staff enjoying a happy, safe
working environment that is flexible and
practical, with opportunities provided for
training and development.
Sustainability and environmental
responsibility are also key factors for the
company, and this is reflected in how they
source sustainable materials and seek out
ethical suppliers, working with the local
community where possible.
Their products are manufactured
energy-efficiently with waste
minimisation, and they source recyclable
packaging for their own brands and
encourage their suppliers to do the same.
With the increasing interest and
awareness by consumers in living
environmentally conscious and healthy
lives, The New Zealand Health Food
Company is growing and adapting
the range of products to meet these
demands. By providing quality products
at affordable price, their aim is to make
health and wellness available to everyone.
You can see the full range of products
on their website, www.nzhealthfood.
com, and order online, or you can
call into the spacious retail store,
at 215 Woolridge Road, where the
knowledgeable staff will advise on
the right products for your needs.
They also offer an excellent customer

Modern diet leads to illness!

Two Australian Naturopaths Stephen

century more and more of their patients
were experiencing gut, bowel and digestive
issues that were often leading to more
serious chronic health conditions. Being
Naturopaths they wanted to find what was
going wrong and began extensive research.
What they found was although their clients
were generally eating good food they were
not obtaining all the nutrients required for
good health from this food. Further research
showed one of the main problems was the
digestive system, “it’s not what you eat but
what you absorb.” Another well-known
problem is the soils the crops are grown in
have been depleted of many trace elements
and other nutrients that are known to be
essential for good health and therefore the
crops and food are also depleted. If we do
not obtain all the nutrients we require the
body will compensate to some degree but
a lack of too many nutrients will eventually
lead to health issues.
Based on this they
developed VITAL
GREENS, a nutrient
dense powdered
formula that
provides superior
absorption as well
as comprehensive
nutrition. They
decided on a
powdered formula
that could be made
as a great tasting drink because liquid
nutrition is the easiest way for the body
to absorb nutrients especially if digestive
issues are present. The formula provides
76 vital ingredients that work together in
synergy optimising each other’s absorption
and benefits. Vital Greens contains a
carefully balanced blend of nutritionally
rich greens, vegetables, fruits, minerals,
vitamins, essential fatty acids, plant and
herbal extracts, superfoods, powerful
antioxidants, probiotics, essential amino
acids, digestive enzymes, fibre plus a
uniquely alkalising pea protein. It provides
superior nutrition to a multivitamin and
anyone will benefit from it. It is designed to
provide all the nutrients the body requires
for good health. It is also ideal for those
in poor health, those recovering from
injury or sickness, children, athletes, poor
eaters and the elderly. It is also suitable
for people with dietary restrictions and is
gluten, wheat and dairy free. Vital Greens
will help remove toxic waste from the body
while supporting all organs. You’ll often
notice more energy and endurance, better
sleep, a more positive mood, skin problems
improving, less sickness, improved eyesight
and overall better more optimum health.
Further information and how to obtain
the maximum benefits from Vital Greens
as well as tastings is available from the
Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s
Health & Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview
Road, New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757.

The gut has a lot to do with how we feel & how our brain
functions. If it is out of balance we can feel moody, depressed,
anxious, nervous & more. The right probiotic supplements
help restore gut balance. Quality essential fatty acids are one
of our biggest deficiencies. They have a dramatic effect on
brain function. Parents often notice children are less moody,

Anxious Kids -
What can you do?
We are all aware that anxiety in our
children has risen considerably over the
last 7 years, the forces that rattled our city
have continued to rattle its citizens and this
has impacted on how our children exist
and respond in their day to day lives.
Of course this is not the only contributor
and it must be remembered that any
mental health problem is not a clear cut
issue. However parents, teachers, doctors
and other people closely working with our
children and young adults have noticed a
change in behaviour.
They are seeing things such as increased
irritability, aggression, separation anxiety,
sleep disturbances and moodiness. The
normal response of anxiety to a future
challenging event has become an out of
proportion reaction to normal daily events
and this is where the problem lies.
So what natural options are there to help
support children’s mental health?
Probiotics - Promote healthy balance of
chemicals in our brain
The connection between the brain and
the gut is key to understanding and
maintaining good mental health. You
need a well balanced microbiome (gut
flora), with an abundance of good bacteria
to ensure the creation and regulation of
neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters
are chemicals that send messages to and
around our brain. Serotonin is one of
these neurotransmitters - low levels are
associated with anxiety and other problems
such as depression. It is important to note
ARE YOU READY
TO DOWNSIZE?
Paying rates for a house that’s
too big? Paying maintenance and
heating costs for space you don’t use?
A move to one of our
architecturally designed villas
at McKenzie Lifestyle Village in
Geraldine will cut those costs.
Three villas are available for
occupation now, priced from
$355,000.

on 0800 84 55 24.
that the majority of serotonin is actually
made in our gut!
Fish oils - Reduce cellular inflammation
Fish oils are a source of Omega 3 fatty acids,
unless we eat at least 3 - 4 meals of oily fish
per week we generally aren't getting enough
of this essential fatty acid (EFA). The
result is an imbalance between this antiinflammatory
EFA and the inflammatory
EFA omega 6 (found in most animal
products, cereals, vegetable oils). Low
levels of omega 3 (particularly DHA) in the
brain can result in increased inflammation
and the disruption of signaling between
nerves, this contributes to conditions such
as anxiety. Taking a supplement that also
includes vitamin D will help increase the
absorption of the EFA’s.
B Vitamins & Magnesium - correct
nutritional deficiency
Low levels of nutrients such as B vitamins
and magnesium have been linked
to anxiety and other mental health
conditions. When we are under stress our
bodies use more of these nutrients and
our requirement is higher. B vitamins are
necessary for the production and release of
neurotransmitters, while magnesium helps
to regulate the nervous system. Magnesium
helps to relax, calm and protect the
cardiovascular system which can be put
under extra stress when suffering from
anxiety.
Theanine - promote a calm but alert
state of mind
Another really helpful nutrient is
L-theanine, this is an amino acid found in
green tea. The action of theanine is to relax
without sedation - basically it encourages
an alert but relaxed state of mind and
in doing so is very effective at reducing
anxiety. There are also other remedies
such as Bach flower remedies, essential oils
and herbs that can make a big difference
in your child’s mental health. Herbal
teas such as Passionflower, Chamomile,
Lemon Balm and Licorice are all helpful to
encourage a feeling of calm. Bach flowers
can be individually prescribed to suit the
individual child’s emotional personality,
they are very effective in helping to
reduce feelings of fear, loneliness, fatigue,
hopelessness, restlessness and sadness.
Our Herbalist Nadine, is available to
prescribe Bach flower remedies as well
as herbal formulas and give advice on
which nutrients are the most suitable.
She is available for private consultations
on Tuesday and Thursday 10-2pm and
within the store at other times.

‘Famous for their roasts!’
NZTrio, New Zealand's leading piano trio
concludes its 2017 Christchurch concerts with Soar
this November with guest violinist and fellow
Mainlander, Manu Berkeljon. Cellist Ashley Brown
and pianist Sarah Watkins are delighted to be
working with Manu, who is originally from the
West Coast and currently based in Sweden with a
position in the Dalasinfoniettan orchestra, to bring
this powerfully moving programme to
Christchurch audiences, including the world
premiere of Anthony Ritchie's Childhood and the
NZ premiere of Onaia by Dorothy Ker.
Described as a 'national treasure' and 'New
Zealand's most indispensable ensemble' (William
Dart, NZ Herald), NZTrio is renowned for their
eclectic repertoire, outstanding talent, and warm
kiwi stage presence. ey smash outmoded
