Difficult words no problem for Lucy<br />

IT MEANS lacking in courage<br />

and resolution, but Lucy Jessep<br />

certainly wasn’t as she correctly<br />

spelled pusillanimous.<br />

The St Margaret’s College year<br />

10 student is New Zealand’s <strong>2017</strong><br />

Spelling Bee champion.<br />

She triumphed over hundreds<br />

of students from more than 100<br />

schools to win the title.<br />

Runner-up was year 9 student<br />

George Turner, of Marlborough<br />

Boys’ College.<br />

In a tightly-fought competition,<br />

the pair battled it out for<br />

first place over four rounds after<br />

earlier defeating 19 other spellers<br />

at Te Papa in Wellington. Lucy<br />

took the title with pusillanimous.<br />

The Burnside teen was awarded<br />

a trophy and $5000 towards<br />

her studies.<br />

An enthusiastic debater who<br />

loves learning languages, Lucy<br />

said she was just focused on “not<br />

getting out in the first round,”<br />

and because of that didn’t consider<br />

winning.<br />

Her win was still sinking in,<br />

she said.<br />

Residents<br />

fired up<br />

over plan<br />

to restrict<br />

access<br />

to Papanui<br />

street<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

PAPANUI residents are angry<br />

access to their street could be<br />

restricted by a plan to prioritise<br />

buses on Main North Rd.<br />

They say the city council’s<br />

proposal to put restraints on<br />

right turns into Grassmere St as<br />

part of the upgrade will restrict<br />

access.<br />

However, city council manager<br />

transport, planning and delivery<br />

Lynette Ellis said residents had<br />

only expressed concern about left<br />

turns into and out of Grassmere<br />

St. Left hand turns would not be<br />

restricted, she said.<br />

Ms Ellis has the backing of<br />

Papanui city councillor Mike<br />

Davidson, who said the proposal<br />

was “pretty close” to what the<br />

residents want.<br />

The plan includes new full-time<br />

bus lanes on Main North Rd –<br />

with two options for an upgrade<br />

at the Grassmere St intersection.<br />

The first is a pedestrian island,<br />

the other a new set of traffic lights.<br />

IF I had my time again, I’d get into<br />

Probably not as an actor – well<br />

100 per cent not as an actor – but<br />

there are a lot of opportunities<br />

Nina Hogg and Simon Brown<br />

from St Margaret’s and Christ’s<br />

film. That’s a great start to potential<br />

careers in the film industry.<br />

Hopefully their names have been<br />

St Albans centre moves to Shirley<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

AN ADDITIONAL $125,000<br />

has been fast-tracked to<br />

move a community centre<br />

and maintain the goodwill<br />

of the St Albans and Shirley<br />

communities.<br />

The money will go towards<br />

a shortfall in shifting the<br />

transitional St Albans<br />

Community Centre from<br />

Colombo St to MacFarlane<br />

Park where it will be used by<br />

Shirley residents. The shifting of<br />

the centre, which was donated<br />

by the Lions International<br />

Club, was approved by the<br />

city council at its meeting on<br />

Thursday.<br />

A city council report said it<br />

was initially estimated $100,000<br />

would be needed to move the<br />

building but more detailed<br />

planning has revealed it would<br />

cost $225,000.<br />

The initial $100,000 was<br />

approved through the city<br />

council’s Annual Plan.<br />

City council staff told<br />

councillors there would be time<br />

delays and a financial impact<br />

on the St Albans rebuild if the<br />

funding was not granted. “It’s<br />

a matter of urgency, it really<br />

needs to be moved.”<br />

A staff report said there<br />

would be a “loss of goodwill”<br />

MOVING: The<br />

transitional<br />

St Albans<br />

Community<br />

Centre is set<br />

to be moved<br />

to MacFarlane<br />

Park for further<br />

community use.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF<br />

SLOAN<br />

Pauline Cotter<br />

from the community, which has<br />

been waiting for the rebuild in<br />

St Albans and a new facility in<br />

Shirley.<br />

Innes Ward city councillor<br />

Pauline Cotter said it<br />

was a “great win” for the<br />

communities. “St Albans and<br />

Shirley have been a little bit<br />

under the radar with how<br />

hard they’ve been hit by the<br />

earthquake. This is a very good<br />

deal for council.”<br />

City councillors questioned<br />

the cost but were told moving<br />

a building is more expensive<br />

than it may sound. “It sounds<br />

easy taking a building from one<br />

park and putting it on another<br />

. . . but you’re talking about<br />

car parks, you’re talking about<br />

making the building accessible,<br />

plumbing, signage, power,<br />

foundations. It is expensive,” a<br />

staff member said.<br />

Putting it at MacFarlane Park<br />

means the Lions “committed<br />

and generous” donation of the<br />

building will not go to waste.<br />

It also enables the facility to<br />

continue being used after its<br />

original placement in St Albans.<br />

Cr Cotter confirmed Lions<br />

intended to gift the building to<br />

the city council next year.<br />

For the past four years, the<br />

Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board and the Shirley<br />

Community Trust have been<br />

seeking a solution to the lack<br />

of a facility in the Shirley<br />

area.<br />

COMPETITIVE: Lucy Jessep<br />

Lucy is a<br />

top speller<br />

•From page 1<br />

New Zealand Spelling Bee<br />

founder Janet Lucas said the<br />

nail-biting final was fitting for a<br />

competition in which the talent<br />

was stronger than ever.<br />

“Lucy did incredibly well to<br />

triumph in such a strong field.<br />

This was the toughest and longest<br />

competition we have ever had.<br />

We have seen some truly amazing<br />

spelling today.”<br />

“The New Zealand Spelling<br />

Bee is fiercely competitive in a<br />

fun way. It’s a sport with an intellectual<br />

focus – students train and<br />

prepare to compete, and it’s clear<br />

from the excellent results that<br />

they trained hard.”<br />

The finalists won their places<br />

out of a field of hundreds of year<br />

9 and 10 students. The rigorous<br />

competition began with a written<br />

classroom test, followed by six<br />

regional semi-finals.<br />

Young filmmakers show big potential<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

NINA HOGG and Simon<br />

Brown of St Margaret’s and<br />

Christ’s colleges could soon be<br />

following in the footsteps of Kiwi<br />

filmmaker Taika Waititi.<br />

While Waititi has been<br />

smashing box offices records<br />

with his new movie Thor:<br />

Ragnarok, Nina and Simon have<br />

written and produced the short<br />

film A Perfect Child.<br />

The students’ film won the<br />

award for best senior fiction at<br />

the Australian Teachers of Media<br />

Awards in Melbourne.<br />

It tells the story of Ava, played<br />

by St Margaret’s student Tigerlily<br />

Perry, a girl who has lost her parents<br />

in a car crash and has been<br />

sent to an orphanage.<br />

She meets Madam Murphy<br />

(Eilish Moran, of The Court<br />

Theatre) who runs the establishment<br />

in a disciplined and firm<br />

manner. Ava soon befriends<br />

Lauren (Alice Taylor, of St Margaret’s),<br />

but finds out that things<br />

are not what they seem at the<br />

orphanage.<br />

When Lauren suddenly turns<br />

on her, Ava discovers a laboratory<br />

full of clones which the<br />

orphanage is trying to make into<br />

perfect specimens so they can be<br />

adopted more easily.<br />

UP-AND-COMING: Students Simon Brown and Nina Hogg<br />

collected the award for best senior short film in Melbourne.<br />

Taking home an award didn’t<br />

come easily.<br />

The 18min film took a year to<br />

produce from start to finish and<br />

involved more than 65 students,<br />

mentors and teachers.<br />

Simon said the main challenge<br />

came from the editing process.<br />

A Perfect Child went up against<br />

550 entries in the ATOM awards<br />

from across Australia and New<br />

Zealand.<br />

“The prize-giving was very<br />

nerve-racking, especially when<br />

Nina and I had to go up on stage<br />

to collect the award. We didn’t<br />

realise that we were required to<br />

give a short speech and had to<br />

improvise but it was taken very<br />

well, which was a relief,” Simon<br />

said.<br />

Nina said many students put<br />

their life and soul into the film.<br />

“I hope our two schools (St<br />

Margaret’s and Christ’s) continue<br />

this collaboration as a way<br />

to foster interest in the film industry<br />

and highlight the talent of<br />

our friends and fellow students,”<br />

she said.<br />

The ATOM presentation<br />

was hosted by Australian TV<br />

presenter Walt Collins and was<br />

followed by a screening of the<br />

winning productions at the SAE<br />

Institute, Melbourne. The awards<br />

STARRING ROLE: Tigerlily<br />

Perry played Ava in the award<br />

winning short film, A Perfect<br />

with the release of his new film<br />

Northern Arterial down to the law<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

A BID to change the plans<br />

for the Northern Arterial on<br />

Cranford St will come down to<br />

an interpretation of the law.<br />

Last month Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />

revealed Small World Preschool<br />

and Nursery and the Cranford<br />

Ale House fear they will have<br />

to shut their doors if designs for<br />

the stretch between McFaddens<br />

Rd and the rural zone go ahead<br />

as currently planned.<br />

All on-street parking will be<br />

lost when cycleways are put in<br />

on either side of the road.<br />

Ale house owner Andrew<br />

Norton has enlisted the help<br />

of Christchurch Central MP<br />

Duncan Webb.<br />

The former Lane Neave partner<br />

and legal professor said in<br />

terms of changing the plans to<br />

include on-street parking, it will<br />

come down to an interpretation<br />

of the designs approved by the<br />

Environment Court last year.<br />

Dr Webb said “everyone is on<br />

board with having cycleways,”<br />

but the initial design had both<br />

cycleways and on-street parking.<br />

“The design has been be<br />

fundamentally the same as was<br />

approved [by the Environment<br />

Court] . . . it doesn’t have to be<br />

exactly the same,” he said.<br />

The city council sees the new<br />

plan, which has no on-street<br />

parking, to be fundamentally<br />

the same, Dr Webb said.<br />

But businesses see it as a huge<br />

variance from the approved<br />

design, he said there has been a<br />

“raft of objections.”<br />

The MP has been in contact<br />

with the city council which will<br />

meet with the affected parties to<br />

discuss the designs.<br />

“The list of people affected is<br />

growing by the day. It wasn’t<br />

well publicised but has got out<br />

by word of mouth and reporting,”<br />

he said<br />

Main North Rd<br />

corner changes<br />

upset residents<br />

•From page 1<br />

The pedestrian island would see<br />

vehicles unable to turn right off<br />

Main North Rd into Grassmere St.<br />

Lights would mean no right turn<br />

into or out of Grassmere St.<br />

Grassmere St resident Murray<br />

Turley said during the construction<br />

of the Papanui Parallel cycleway in<br />

April, the city council “promised<br />

unrestricted access” to the group of<br />

concerned residents. He said that<br />

meant maintaining both turns in<br />

and out of Grassmere St.<br />

“We were promised unrestricted<br />

access and now they’re completely<br />

restricting it.”<br />

He said Ms Ellis’ claim that<br />

residents were only concerned about<br />

left turns was incorrect.<br />

Ms Ellis said the proposal<br />

includes the restricted turns<br />

for Grassmere St because of the<br />

available width on Main North<br />

Rd for the bus lane. She said it was<br />

necessary to avoid “significant<br />

delays” to traffic. Cr Davidson said<br />

the proposal is not “set in stone” so<br />

changes could be made.<br />

The public can have their say on<br />

the plan via the city council website<br />

until <strong>November</strong> 17.<br />

Mural puts colour back in Mairehau<br />

VIBRANT:<br />

Richard<br />

‘Popx’ Baker<br />

at work on<br />

the Mairehau<br />

mural to add<br />

colour to the<br />

‘grey’ suburb.<br />

OPENING<br />

NIGHT<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

HIS ART was some of the<br />

first on broken walls in the<br />

central city following the<br />

earthquakes.<br />

Now Richard ‘Popx’<br />

Baker is painting a mural<br />

on the alleyway between<br />

Mairehau Primary School<br />

and Innes Rd.<br />

And the idea came entirely<br />

from children in the<br />

community.<br />

The Neighbourhood<br />

Trust and Child and Youth<br />

Friendly Cities have organised<br />

the artwork, which<br />

features Mairehau pupils<br />

planting a garden.<br />

Trust manager Ginny<br />

Larsen said it’s been a great<br />

result from a collaboration<br />

effort.<br />

“The project started<br />

two-and-a-half years ago<br />

when the trust was working<br />

with children from Mairehau<br />

Primary asking them<br />

what they liked about the<br />

area, what they didn’t like<br />

and what they would like to<br />

change,” she said.<br />

One of the main themes<br />

was that the pupils found<br />

VOCAL: Mairehau pupil Jolie Sarginson said a mural would be the perfect way to<br />

add vibrancy to the area.<br />

Mairehau a “bit grey” and<br />

wanted “more colour and<br />

vibrancy” in the area.<br />

The pupils took<br />

photos and made up a<br />

board of ideas.<br />

“One of the things they<br />

suggested was a mural,” Ms<br />

Larsen said.<br />

But the trust quickly hit a<br />

road block. Said Ms Larsen:<br />

“We thought this would<br />

be lovely but we’ve got no<br />

money.”<br />

That’s when Child and<br />

Youth Friendly Cities came<br />

on board.<br />

Ms Larsen said the<br />

group really liked the fact<br />

that it was the voices and<br />

ideas of local children being<br />

heard.<br />

“They want more children’s<br />

ideas put into prac-<br />

PHOTO: KASEY WRIGHT<br />

tice and bring some light<br />

into the city.”<br />

Photos were sent through<br />

to Mr Baker, who works<br />

on the mural whenever the<br />

weather is good.<br />

Many large-scale murals<br />

by Mr Baker feature across<br />

the city from a building<br />

at Phillipstown School to<br />

St Margaret’s mega birthday cake<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

IT TOOK more than 1000<br />

eggs to make the 750 slices of<br />

cake dished out during the<br />

recent founder’s day service at<br />

St Margaret’s College.<br />

The school celebrated its<br />

1<strong>07</strong>th birthday with the giant<br />

cake. It was founded in 1910<br />

by Bishop Churchill Julius,<br />

who convinced the Diocese<br />

of Christchurch synod of the<br />

need to establish a school for<br />

girls to match that already set<br />

up for boys.<br />

St Margaret’s was opened at<br />

28 Armagh St with 50 pupils.<br />

In 1913, with a roll of more<br />

than 100, it moved into a new<br />

building on the corner of<br />

Cranmer Square and Chester<br />

St West. The college moved<br />

to its current Merivale site in<br />

1986. •More schools, page 13<br />

Rangi Ruru starts media empire<br />

GIRLS ARE taking control<br />

of how they’re framed in the<br />

media by producing their own<br />

magazine.<br />

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School<br />

students have published a new<br />

magazine – Shelter, the Aroha<br />

Edition.<br />

Head of media studies Jude<br />

Morgan said the production<br />

highlights the ability of teens<br />

to be ethical and responsible<br />

consumers of media.<br />

“Our students, for the second<br />

year running, have learned how<br />

to create a media product that<br />

appeals to a target audience.<br />

From concept to completion, it<br />

is completely driven by students<br />

– the content, design and layout<br />

to print ready stage,” she said.<br />

The editor the magazine is<br />

year 13 student Olivia Mason.<br />

She believes in the magazine’s<br />

brief “to provide content that<br />

inspires, challenges and empowers<br />

readers”.<br />

Any student in the school can<br />

submit work or be involved in<br />

the production of the magazine.<br />

COVER: A Rangi Ruru magazine includes<br />

work submitted by students such as the<br />

above design by Hilary Royds.<br />

This year, the editorial team<br />

has applied for and received an<br />

ISSN number, which means the<br />

magazine can be catalogued.<br />

“This takes us to a business/<br />

professional level and means the<br />

students can now take on the<br />

business and marketing side of<br />

the production, too,” said Ms<br />

Morgan.<br />

Teacher earns<br />

award for<br />

excellence<br />

A ST Margaret’s College teacher<br />

has earned a national excellence<br />

award for her work.<br />

Linda Chong, the college’s<br />

head of the centre for innovation,<br />

won an Australian Scholarships<br />

Group national Excellence in<br />

Teaching award.<br />

She is one of 18 recipients from<br />

the country, selected from almost<br />

200 nominations.<br />

Teaching was never a career<br />

path that Linda consciously<br />

planned to pursue.<br />

But the love of learning and the<br />

joy she gets in helping others has<br />

always been a skill she has loved<br />

to share.<br />

She has co-constructed teaching<br />

programmes and innovative<br />

technology, which has enabled<br />

her to integrate learning activities<br />

that delve deeper into student<br />

understanding and engagement.<br />

Now in its 21st year, ASG<br />

NEiTA gives parents, grandparents,<br />

school boards and councils<br />

and committees of management<br />

the opportunity to thank and<br />

recognise outstanding teachers.<br />

INNOVATION: Teacher Linda<br />

Chong has been recognised<br />

for her hard work and<br />

dedication to St Margaret’s<br />

College students. ​<br />

Chief executive officer, John<br />

Velegrinis said these educators,<br />

including Ms Chong recognise<br />

that it takes a village to raise a<br />

child.<br />

“These teachers have an enormous<br />

responsibility in shaping<br />

and guiding these young people<br />

as well as supporting the educational<br />

aspirations families have<br />

for their children.”<br />

Hip-hop<br />

crew take act<br />

to the Netherlands<br />

Krump, swag, iso, reggaeton, electric boogaloo and turfing – it may sound like gibberish to<br />

the untrained ear but these are all very technical styles of hip-hop performed by Papanui<br />

hip hop group, Aperture, at the world hip-hop unite championships in the Netherlands.<br />

Competing against dance crews from 17 countries, Aperture, made up of Nekholas<br />

Thompson, Logan Rielly, George Jacobs-Lawson, Zak Tait, Manaia Davies, Tessa Holley,<br />

Meg Lancaster and Justice Setefano, came fourth in the junior division.<br />

it would be.<br />

Tussock Rendel – Good on<br />

George Chan – Sadly the<br />

root cause is just alcohol. No<br />

point in remembering all this<br />

doing something that will impair<br />

your judgement. The saddest part<br />

is that he will not be the only<br />

THREE MINI traffic signs, 150<br />

tyres, 35 cu m of bark, 11 timber<br />

off-cuts, 15 cu m of aggregate<br />

and one 6m pipe.<br />

That’s what it takes to build a<br />

motorway-themed playground.<br />

Work on the Christchurch<br />

Northern Corridor has been directly<br />

affecting Papanui Primary<br />

School. Traffic is slow, there are<br />

often detours and drop-off and<br />

pick-up zones are always changing.<br />

So the Northern Corridor<br />

team decided it was “only fair”<br />

to do something positive for the<br />

school, team director Edward<br />

Husband said.<br />

“We know that the school is<br />

directly affected by our work,<br />

the drop-off and pick-up traffic<br />

had to change routes and many<br />

of the pupils live close to the<br />

new motorway alignment,” he<br />

said.<br />

Mr Husband heard the school<br />

wanted a new playground area,<br />

so the team started working on<br />

the idea earlier in the year.<br />

Papanui principal Paul Kingston<br />

said the school couldn’t be<br />

happier with the result.<br />

”Our five-year-olds could<br />

not wait for it to be finished,<br />

they love climbing the pipe and<br />

riding their bikes and scooters<br />

along the paths. Having the<br />

OPEN: A motorway-themed playground was built by<br />

the Northern Corridor team to make up for the impact<br />

construction is having on Papanui Primary School. ​<br />

motorway project in their back<br />

yards, they are really interested<br />

in construction and transport,”<br />

he said.<br />

While the motorway team was<br />

planning the playground, the<br />

asked pupils what they wanted.<br />

The team brought in draft plans<br />

to show the children, measured<br />

up the site and discussed with<br />

pupils how it would be constructed.<br />

“That in itself has been a great<br />

learning experience for our<br />

youngest students,” Mr Kingston<br />

said.<br />

At the end of October<br />

the CNC team rolled up<br />

their sleeves with teachers,<br />

the principal, parents and<br />

pupils to dig the paths, install<br />

mini timber piles, place the<br />

pipe and construct the climb<br />

area and finally to put down<br />

the aggregate and place the<br />

bark.<br />

Most of the material and tools<br />

used for the playground were<br />

found on the Northern Corridor<br />

site and recycled or are currently<br />

being used on the motorway<br />

alignment.<br />

HOW TO COOK BARBECUE<br />

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED<br />

WHOLE CHICKEN<br />

Ingredients<br />

1 whole butterflied chicken<br />

1 to taste salt & freshly ground<br />

pepper<br />

Barbecue sauce<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat grill to medium. Get<br />

surface temperature to about 200<br />

deg C. Clean and oil well. Clean<br />

the chicken if you desire and pat<br />

dry.<br />

Cut the backbone out of the<br />

chicken with sharp kitchen<br />

scissors. You could use a knife,<br />

but the scissors are much safer<br />

and work great.<br />

With a large knife, give the<br />

breastbone a large nick in the<br />

front of the chicken to help the<br />

bird lay flat.<br />

Rinse the inside of the bird out,<br />

trim any loose fat and extra skin.<br />

Pat dry again. Give the bird a<br />

good sprinkle of salt and pepper.<br />

You could use any seasoning you<br />

want here.<br />

Place skin down on the grill.<br />

Flip after you get a nice browning<br />

on the skin after about 12-15min.<br />

Give the chicken a good<br />

brushing of barbecue sauce.<br />

Grill another 3-4min until<br />

the sauce is browning well.<br />

Total grilling on the second side<br />

should take 20-25min.<br />

Let set for 5 minutes then cut<br />

and serve.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Huge turnout for bike show<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

THE SMASH Palace Bike Show<br />

took New Brighton by storm on<br />

Saturday.<br />

“It went really well, everyone had<br />

a ball,” said event organiser Jason<br />

Mill.<br />

Originally, 20 heats were planned<br />

for the demonstration but Mr Mill<br />

said on the day there was close to<br />

60.<br />

Tony Hockley, 82, son of former<br />

bike enthusiast and founding member<br />

of the Pioneer Motorcycle Club<br />

Geoff Hockley, raced on the day.<br />

The event was linked to the late<br />

Mr Hockley, who was involved in<br />

the first ever bike races on New<br />

Brighton beach in the early 1900s.<br />

Event organisers had one lap<br />

planned for Tony, who ended up<br />

lining up for the next six races<br />

afterwards.<br />

“We couldn’t get him off the<br />

bike,” said Mr Mill.<br />

Between 3000-4000 spectators<br />

showed up and the seaside market<br />

said they had one of their busiest<br />

markets of the year, said Mr Mill.<br />

Originally the event was planned<br />

to be biennial, however, following<br />

feedback from spectators, Mr Mill<br />

thinks this may change.<br />

“The word I kept hearing was<br />

next year . . . if the community<br />

wants it, we will do it.”<br />

New Dentures ><br />

Creating a Better<br />

Denture Experience<br />

Relines ><br />

Repairs ><br />

Partial Dentures ><br />

At Better Denture, the denture clinic<br />

situated in Brynley Street, Hornby, the aim<br />

is to take the hassle out of getting new teeth,<br />

says experienced dental technician and<br />

owner Chris Castle.<br />

“We focus on making it easier for people<br />

coming here to have dentures made or<br />

maintained with our relaxed environment<br />

and friendly approach.”<br />

Chris understands that people can be a bit<br />

nervous about coming into a dental clinic,<br />

but he makes sure everyone feels welcome<br />

and comfortable at Better Denture by<br />

breaking down those barriers and putting<br />

them at ease.<br />

The process of having new dentures made<br />

and fitted usually takes four appointments,<br />

and Chris explains the process step by step<br />

so patients understand what’s being done,<br />

further complete after care is provided at no<br />

additional cost.<br />

“Every set of dentures is made to onsite<br />

by hand, using higher grade materials as<br />

standard, allowing us the ability to customise<br />

every aspect of the process. We also aim to<br />

cater toward the upkeep of existing dentures,<br />

with same day repairs and relines on offer,<br />

as well as being available on Saturdays,<br />

allowing us to work around even the busiest<br />

schedules,” he says.<br />

“Our aim at Better Denture is to create<br />

the best possible denture experience for<br />

you, the customer, whether it be through<br />

the products we custom create, the service<br />

we provide or the manner in which strive to<br />

achieve both of those goals.”<br />

Anyone needing new dentures is invited<br />

to contact Better Denture, phone 349 5050,<br />

for a free consultation. The clinic is spacious<br />

and welcoming, and patients are invited to<br />

bring someone with them for support at any<br />

appointment if they wish.<br />

Located at 6 Brynley Street Hornby,<br />

Better Denture is open Monday to Friday,<br />

9am-5pm and Saturday, 10am-12pm.<br />

Off-street parking and wheelchair access<br />

available.<br />

A FOLK art exhibition<br />

is returning to St Albans<br />

after a 10-year hiatus.<br />

On Saturday, the sale<br />

and exhibition of the New<br />

Zealand Folk and Decorative<br />

Artists’ Guild is being<br />

held at the Forfar Courts<br />

Community Hall.<br />

The guild used to hold<br />

an exhibition in the area<br />

but stopped to have a stall<br />

at the Great New Zealand<br />

Craft Show in Lyttelton<br />

about 10 years ago.<br />

“We decided it would be<br />

a great opportunity to have<br />

a sale and exhibition on<br />

our own again as we have<br />

many very beautiful pieces<br />

of decorative painting that<br />

have been donated to our<br />

guild since it was started<br />

in 1990,” guild immediate<br />

past president Chris<br />

Threadwell said.<br />

ART: Folk<br />

paintings<br />

will be back<br />

on display in<br />

St Albans on<br />

Saturday.<br />

Folk art returns to St Albans<br />

She said the pieces do<br />

not often get a chance to be<br />

on display to the public so<br />

this would offer a chance<br />

to show off the art’s beauty.<br />

“The public can see the<br />

beautiful work that can<br />

be achieved, with practice,<br />

and become heirlooms of<br />

the future. Most of these<br />

pieces have been donated<br />

by tutors who have come<br />

from overseas on teaching<br />

appointment,” she said.<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />

Plenty to do at McKenzie<br />

Lifestyle Village<br />

The last stage is under construction at<br />

McKenzie Lifestyle Village but there are still<br />

good sites available. We also have a number<br />

of affordable villas ready for immediate<br />

occupation. Prices range from $330,000<br />

and our monthly outgoing fees are fixed for<br />

life.<br />

Our beautiful Leisure Centre is very<br />

popular with the residents who make<br />

full use of the swimming and spa pools,<br />

gymnasium, craft room, library and lounge<br />

area. Outside, the Bowling Green is also<br />

popular along with Petanque, Mini-golf and<br />

Table Bowls. This coming summer will see<br />

Croquet being played on our Village Green.<br />

The residents’ monthly activities calendar<br />

boasts the following; bowls events, concert<br />

going (Operatunity), shopping trips, lunch<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

outings, yoga, housie, Qigong (Tai Chi),<br />

happy hour, knitting, quiz nights, cards<br />

craft sessions, and there are regular visits by<br />

the hairdresser, massage therapist and the<br />

podiatrist.<br />

Geraldine is a great little town with a<br />

very pleasant microclimate. There is plenty<br />

to do in and around the town with art<br />

galleries, theatre and cinema, interesting<br />

shops and boutiques, two museums and a<br />

wide range of good places to eat. For the<br />

more adventurous there are river and forest<br />

walks nearby, opportunities for biking and a<br />

choice of two local golf clubs.<br />

School blaze and Guy Fawkes<br />

keep firefighters occupied<br />

• By Mark Thomas –<br />

specialist fire investigator<br />

I’VE BEEN away from<br />

Christchurch for a couple<br />

of weeks.<br />

I missed the arson attack<br />

on Linwood North School<br />

on October 21.<br />

I’m mentioning it here<br />

because school fires are<br />

one of the most unsettling<br />

for communities to deal<br />

with.<br />

Students, teachers<br />

and parents often feel<br />

personally violated when<br />

their school is attacked in<br />

this way.<br />

In my experience and<br />

knowledge, it is very rare<br />

that school arsonists are<br />

old enough to vote.<br />

In fact, often they are<br />

recent pupils themselves of<br />

the school concerned.<br />

It’s disturbing and<br />

sad that there are young<br />

people who can hate<br />

their teachers, peers and<br />

community enough to<br />

destroy the buildings that<br />

are the bricks and mortar<br />

of that school community.<br />

I hope the Linwood<br />

North arsonists are caught.<br />

If only to prevent a similar<br />

reoccurrence.<br />

Guy Fawkes will be over<br />

by the time this column is<br />

published.<br />

While things have<br />

improved from the wild<br />

west days of multiple fires<br />

and horrendous injuries, it<br />

mystifies firefighters why<br />

DISTURBING:<br />

Linwood<br />

North School<br />

after an arson<br />

attack.<br />

full fire bans are the norm<br />

for very good reasons for<br />

51 weeks of the year but<br />

are totally suspended for<br />

one week.<br />

All to somehow celebrate<br />

the murderous intent of a<br />

terrorist who was caught<br />

red-handed 500 years<br />

ago on the far side of the<br />

world.<br />

We are often called to<br />

rescue cats up trees.<br />

Last Wednesday at Jellie<br />

Park, there was a tree<br />

involved but this time a<br />

child was stuck.<br />

They’d been rescued<br />

by the time our troops<br />

arrived.<br />

Might have just saved<br />

them some embarrassment<br />

at school.<br />

Co-Q10 reduces all<br />

causes of mortality<br />

by 50%<br />

Researchers were amazed with the<br />

results of how beneficial a natural nutrient<br />

Coenzyme- Q10 (CoQ10) is to the human<br />

body. Co-Q10 is a natural enzyme in<br />

the body’s cells that is essential for cell<br />

function, energy and survival. The Heart,<br />

Liver, Kidneys and Pancreas require large<br />

amounts of Co-Q10 to function well.<br />

In a recent multi country double blind<br />

trial on the possible benefits of CoQ10 to<br />

protect against heart failure, 420 patients<br />

with severe heart failure were given CoQ10<br />

or a placebo and then followed for two<br />

years. It was found to the amazement of<br />

the researchers the patients who received<br />

the Co-Q10 had a 50% reduction in an<br />

adverse cardiovascular event or death<br />

compared to the placebo patients. Not only<br />

this but the patients on the CoQ10 had a<br />

50% reduction in death not only from<br />

cardiovascular events but from all causes.<br />

According to lead study author Professor<br />

Mortensen this study is the first in over a<br />

decade to show a natural nutrient can<br />

reduce heart failure mortality and CoQ10<br />

should be added as a standard treatment<br />

for anyone with cardiovascular complaints.<br />

It is known that CoQ10 levels decrease in<br />

the heart muscle of patients with heart<br />

failure as severity worsens. Statin drugs<br />

are used to treat many patients with<br />

cardiovascular problems but these drugs<br />

also reduce CoQ10 levels further in the<br />

body. Symptoms of low CoQ10 in the body<br />

can be low energy and endurance, muscle<br />

pain, poor memory and concentration and<br />

poor heart function or heart failure.<br />

CoQ10 levels are known to decrease<br />

as we age and many researchers believe<br />

keeping our levels up of this vital nutrient<br />

may help prevent many chronic diseases<br />

including cancer.<br />

Co-Q10 is available as a natural<br />

supplement to support good health.<br />

Are you<br />

Magnesium<br />

deficient?<br />

Minerals are the building blocks of good<br />

health. Some minerals are only needed in<br />

trace amounts where others like magnesium<br />

are need in much larger amounts and on<br />

a regular basis to prevent deficiency and<br />

maintain optimum health. A large number<br />

of us do not obtain sufficient magnesium<br />

from our diet and may notice some of the<br />

common signs of deficiency. Some of the<br />

more common symptoms that may be<br />

caused by insufficient magnesium are: leg<br />

and muscle cramps, twitches, muscle pain,<br />

muscle fatigue and weakness, tremors<br />

of hands, blurred vision, restlessness,<br />

poor sleep, raised and/or unstable blood<br />

pressure, poor circulation, irregular<br />

heartbeat, shortness of breath, swallowing<br />

problems, dizziness, headaches, anxiety,<br />

agitation, irritability, seizures, poor<br />

concentration and many more.<br />

Although many young people now show<br />

signs of magnesium deficiency symptoms<br />

generally worsen as we age due to our<br />

digestive system being less efficient. Taking<br />

a magnesium supplement of sufficient<br />

strength may be a sensible option to top<br />

up our vital magnesium levels. Not all<br />

magnesium supplements however are<br />

well absorbed by everyone. Luckily a new<br />

marine sourced magnesium has been<br />

found that offers good levels of absorbable<br />

magnesium as well as many trace nutrients<br />

that are low in the diet but essential for<br />

good health. Further information is<br />

available in store from our natural health<br />

advisers, and medical herbalists..<br />
