BAKER BRIAN Cate starts 

work at 1am. 

But when his shift is over at 

Sydenham Bakery by 10am, Mr 

Cate doesn’t always head home 

to bed. For the last 16 years, 

every Tuesday and Thursday 

he has delivered food parcels to 

families from Burnside to Belfast 

and every suburb in between. 

Mr Cate has spent nearly 6000 

hours volunteering through 

the Papanui Baptist Church, in 

conjunction with 0800 Hungry, 

delivering food to more than 

11,000 families and individuals 

in the north-west. 

Without Mr Cate at least 

14 local families would be 

struggling to eat. And his 

dedication to the community 

has been acknowledged as he 

received a Kiwibank Local Hero 

Award on Thursday.

REPORTS revealing death or 

serious injury are likely at a 

Fendalton intersection should 

have been made public, a residents’ 

association says. 

The Glandovey, Idris and 

Straven Residents’ Association 

obtained safety audits from the 

city council which say “death or 

serious injury” at the intersection 

of Glandovey and Idris Rds is 

“likely” once every five to 10 years 

due to visibility issues between 

vehicles and pedestrians. 

Association spokesman James 

Wilding said the community 

should have been aware of these 

audits as their lives are at risk. 

Residents have been battling the 

city council to address ongoing 

roading, traffic and safety issues in 

the area for almost a year. 

During the saga, city council 

chief executive Karleen Edwards 

recommended residents not be 

involved in a work shop to find 

solutions.

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi 

from the editor’s desk 

THERE’S SOMETHING very fishy 

about the city council’s approach to the 

traffic safety campaign under way by the 

Glandovey, Idris and Straven Residents’ 

Association. 

There’s been a few U-turns in this saga 

which has been covered by Nor’West News. 

We reveal the latest twist on page 1 today. 

Residents’ association spokesman James Wilding has uncovered 

reports which relate to road safety in the area. He had to 

get them through the Official Information Act. 

James is a prominent lawyer; he knows his stuff. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board was 

also unaware of the reports. 

Ward councillors Raf Manji and Aaron Keown didn’t return 

our calls, so we don’t know at this stage what they know. 

The plot thickens.

Parking loss will hurt businesses 


AN investigation into the 

impact of the loss of car parks 

at Northlands Shopping Centre 

is under way. 

Mall owner Kiwi Property 

is set to start work on an $18.8 

million upgrade in January, 

which will see a new entertainment 

precinct, Langdons 

Quarter, added. 

City council staff are working 

on an impact report for 

residents and businesses, 

which will be taken back to the 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board at a meeting early next 

year, board member John 

Stringer said. 

The quarter will take away 

29 mall parking spaces – which 

has raised concerns with the 

board and local businesses over 

the impact the loss will have on 

the wider area. 

Mr Stringer said the extension 

was an asset for the area. 

But the board’s concern was 

about negating any effects it 

will have on traffic and parking. 

“The area is already congested 

and, if the mall is taking away 

parks, that’s going to be an issue 

for us,” he said. 

Mr Stringer said any major 

shopping centre has to be aware 

of the impact it has on the residents 

and businesses around it. 

John Stringer 

Vicki Bain 

“They have to be responsible 

to the public interest,” he said. 

Papanui Super Liquor owner 

Carolyn Moffat said there were 

“big concerns” for businesses in 

the area if the parks. 

It comes on top of the 

proposed installation of a bus 

lane which would take away onstreet 

parking on Main North 

Rd. 

She said if both go ahead, it 

could see them go out of business. 

PROBLEM: Northlands Shopping Centre is set to build a new 

entertainment precinct, which will see 29 parks lost. 

PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS 

“It could be the nail in our 

coffin.” Ms Moffat said not 

many people parked at the 

mall and walked back to the 

on-street businesses. But people 

would park on the street and 

walk back to the mall. 

Northlands Shopping Centre 

manager Vicki Bain said while 

29 parks could be removed, she 

said there would be alternative 

parks available. 

“We know the Langdons Rd 

multi-level car park, located 

on the corner of Langdons Rd 

and Sisson Drive, is currently 

under-utilised,” she said. 

Ms Bain said in the future the 

multi-storey car park would be 

expanded to meet the growth 

in demand from the entertainment 

precinct.

POOL FUNDRAISER 

The St Albans Pool and Pavilion 

group has stated its campaign to raise 

about $5 million for the Edgeware 

Pool rebuild. Local businesses are 

getting behind the cause. Edgeware 

SuperValue is supporting the 

installation of a money thermometer 

to track the fundraising effort and 

Bailies Bar and Restaurant will donate 

50 cents from every coffee it sells 

straight to the rebuild. 

CYCLE UPDATE 

An initiative giving free entry to 

people who cycle to Jellie Park 

Recreation and Sport Centre five times 

has been extended. It will continue 

until the end of April. The extension 

comes after concerns were raised 

over a lack of advertising and staff 

knowledge about the initiative to get 

fewer people driving to the pool. The 

initiative will also run at the Pioneer 

and Graham Condon recreation and 

sport centres as part of national bike 

awareness month in February. 

FUNDING APPROVED 

Heaton Intermediate pupil Georgia 

Louise Eagle has received a grant 

of $450 from the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board to go towards 

attending the World Pipe Band

Veterinary practice 

Christmas tips to keep 

your pets safe over the 

festive season 

‘Tis the season to be jolly! In the spirit of the 

coming festive season the staff at McMaster 

and Heap Veterinary Practice wish to give 

you some helpful tips on how to keep your 

pets safe and happy over this busy time. 

Festive foods: 

Many festive foods can be harmful and 

toxic to cats & dogs – here are some of 

the major ones that pop up every year at 

Christmas time! 

Grapes and Raisins - Some types of 

grapes and raisins have been shown to 

cause kidney failure in dogs when eaten 

in toxic quantities. So think before offering 

your pet some tasty Christmas cake or 

yummy ‘treats’ off the fruit platers. 

Onions - Pieces of raw onion, onion 

powder, or even cooked onion can cause 

damage to red blood cells, which could 

result in hemolytic anemia. 

Garlic - fresh and powdered forms of garlic 

are more potent than onions. These also 

cause damage to red blood cells. Cats are 

much more sensitive as they have more 

fragile red blood cells. 

Xylitol - Xylitol is a sugar alternative that 

is used in many commercial ‘sugar-free’ 

candies, gum, and other food items. 

Xylitol has been shown to cause severe 

hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and liver 

damage in dogs and can be fatal. Xylitol 

keeps popping up in unexpected places – 

the newest one is peanut butter, so be sure 

to read the label carefully. 

Macadamia Nuts - dangerous to dogs 

when eaten can result in weakness, 

depression, vomiting, incoordination, and 

tremors. In most cases, dogs developed 

clinical signs within the first twelve hours 

after eating the macadamia nuts. 

Chocolate - Contains Theobromine and 

caffeine which can cause increased heart 

rate, tremors, and excitation, depending 

on the type and the quantity ingested 

potentially death when ingested at a toxic 

dose. Other effects seen with chocolate 

overdose are vomiting, diarrhea, increased 

thirst, increased urination, and lethargy. 

Dark chocolate is the most serious as it 

contains the most theobromine, then milk 

chocolate, while white chocolate doesn’t 

contain any, but still not healthy for your 

dog to have. 

Cooked bones – These easily splinter 

and the bone shards can cause choking or 

get stuck in your dog’s gums or stomach 

resulting in emergency surgery. Discourage 

your dog from foraging in your bins and try 

to secure all of the lids.

Christmas Decorations 

Christmas decorations are not for pets to 

play with. 

• Keep your pet away from plants, many of 

which are poisonous, especially lilies which 

are extremely toxic for cats and results in 

acute kidney failure. 

• Keep electrical wires and batteries out of 

your pets reach. Chewing electrical cables 

can cause electric shock or burns to the 

mouth. 

• Be careful if you are using tinsel on your 

tree. If eaten, the tinsel can block your pets 

intestines – we saw several of these last 

Christmas! 

Don’t forget about your RABBITS 

Flystrike is a serious condition in rabbits. 

It occurs mostly in the summer months 

and we see a lot of cases over the holiday 

season as people get really busy and forget 

to regularly check on their pets. 

Flystrike is extremely distressing and it is 

also potentially fatal. It is caused by flies that 

are attracted to damp fur, urine, faeces and 

the odour of the rabbit’s scent. The flies 

will land on the rabbit normally around the 

rabbits rear end and lay their eggs. Within 

a very short time of 2 hours the eggs will 

hatch into maggots which start to feed on 

the rabbits skin. This process happens very 

quickly and is not always caught in time. 

Check your rabbit twice a day and if you 

find a maggot on your rabbit take it to us 

immediately.

Reports reveal road deaths risk 


However, the Fendalton- 

Waiamairi-Harewood 

Community Board went against 

that decision. 

“Residents do not understand 

why, when issues have been 

raised for so long, the city 

council did 

not tell us that 

its own postconstruction 

audit from 

BECA stated 

that there was 

an occasional, 

so once every 

David 

Cartwright 

five to 10 years, 

risk of death 

or serious 

injury because 

of the footpath design,” Mr 

Wilding said. 

The association received 

three safety audits from the city 

council after submitting a Local 

Government Official Information 

and Meetings Act request. 

Mr Wilding sent the reports 

to the community board, which 

had not been aware of the audits, 

chairman David Cartwright 

said. He said it was frustrating 

that a “number of interested 

parties”, including residents and 

the board, hadn’t seen this key 

information. 

But Mr Cartwright said he 

and city councillors Raf Manji 

and Aaron Keown would be 

taking the issue to the city 

council, as well as chief executive 

Karleen Edwards and Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel, on behalf of the 

residents and the board. 

“It sounds like something 

we want to get fixed as soon as 

possible,” he said. 

The city council was unable 

to respond to questions from 

Nor’West News before deadline 

on why the board and residents 

were not told of the audits. City 

councillors Keown and Manji 

did not return calls. 

Mr Cartwright said the board 

would move onto finding out 

where the “communication 

breakdown” came from after the 

safety issues were addressed. 

“We’ll look to find out how did 

this happen and what learnings 

can we take because it might be 

happening across the city in a 

much bigger picture,” he said. 

The three reports were 

completed by engineering 

consultant firm BECA over the 

scheme and detailed design 

stages of upgrading Glandovey 

and Idris Rds in 2012-13, as well 

as a post construction audit in

Residents’ 

Association wants

at the Glandovey

intersection

pedestrian is killed. 

2014. “Due to the set back of the 

stop control lines on the eastern 

arm of Glandovey Rd and the 

location of the crossing point on 

the south-eastern side of Idris 

Rd, vehicles approaching the 

intersection will not be able to 

see pedestrians waiting to cross 

the road . . . This may lead to 

vehicle/pedestrian conflicts,” the 

audit said. 

Mr Wilding said residents 

have told him they do not feel 

safe walking or cycling there. 

“Now, from reports obtained 

from the council . . . we are 

beginning to understand why.”

Data sought

of motorway 

AIR QUALITY and traffic noise 

data along Cranford St will be 

collected to compare with data 

following the opening of the 

Northern Corridor. 

A request has been sent to Environment 

Canterbury to monitor 

the air quality along the stretch 

of Cranford St between Innes Rd 

and Bealey Ave by the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board. 

The board has also asked the 

city council to investigate the 

possibility of collating data on 

traffic noise on the same part of 

Cranford St in order to establish 

“baseline data”. 

That data would then be compared 

to any data collected following 

the predicted increase in 

traffic after the motorway opens. 

Construction of the Cranford St 

section of the $235 million roading 

project is expected to start in 

the new year. 

The 12km Northern Corridor, 

which runs from the Waimakariri 

River to Innes Rd and QE II 

Drive, is set to be fully open in 

2020.

New St Margaret’s principal 

CANADIAN-born Diana 

Patchett will step into the role of 

St Margaret’s College executive 

principal in term three next year. 

Mrs Patchett will leave her 

role as principal of Auckland’s 

Kristin Junior School. St 

Margaret’s 

current 

principal 

Gillian 

Simpson will 

step down 

after a decade 

in the role 

at the end of 

term two. 

Diana Patchett 

TRIBUTE: Departing principal Gillian Simpson and her 

husband David in front of the boat which was named in her 

honour. 

Trust 

board chairman 

Albert Brantley said Mrs 

Patchett, who is originally from 

the far north of Canada but has 

Australian parents, impressed 

the board during the selection 

process. 

“She has demonstrated to 

the trust board and senior 

leadership team that she has the 

professional and personal skills 

required to both maintain St 

Margaret’s highly regarded culture 

and values and to lead the 

college’s future development,” 

he said. 

Mrs Patchett has been principal 

at the Albany school since 

2013. From 2007 to 2012, she 

was assistant and acting principal 

at Brisbane’s Moreton Bay 

Boys’ College. 

“The trust board is very grateful 

to Mrs Simpson for agreeing 

to stay on until the end of term 

two to assist with Mrs Patchett’s 

transition into the role,” Mr 

Brantley said. 

He said the board and the 

school community would like to 

express gratitude to Mrs Simpson 

for her “outstanding decade 

of service”. 

“We have every confidence 

Mrs Patchett will build on this 

success and commitment to 

girls’ education, presenting 

many more generations of empowered 

young women ‘to live 

and lead’.” 


THE START of a Papanui 

wetland development marks 

the first step in the Cranford 

Regeneration Plan. 

A memo sent to the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board said 

work is beginning on the wetland, 

between QE II and Ellington 

Drives that will help reduce 

flood risk and enhance water 

quality throughout the area. 

“The landscape design provides 

not only the main visual aspect of 

the Buller’s Stream storm water 

facility, but also represents a balance 

between functional stormwater 

requirements, enhancing 

the biodiversity of the site and 

providing opportunities for the 

public to positively engage in the 

space,” it said. 

The work marks the beginning 

of the Cranford Regeneration 

Plan, a city council bid for a 

housing development on the rim

The plan will see up to 420 

homes build when about 38ha 

of former farmland between 

Winters and McFaddens Rds is 

regenerated. 

The rest of the basin will be 

used for the wetland, which will 

establish a natural waterway 

ecosystem through the area,

AGE CONCERN is pleading for 

the reinstatement of a Papanui 

bus service decommissioned 

following the earthquake. 

Ngaio Marsh Retirement 

Village residents are fed up 

with having to walk 650m from 

the village on Grants Rd to the 

closest bus stop after a route was 

deemed redundant following the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

Age Concern project manager 

Yvonne Palmer said because 

Papanui now has the highest 

concentration of elderly people of 

any suburb in the city, the route 

is once again necessary. 

“After the earthquakes, when 

the central city was munted, people 

didn’t need the bus. But ECan 

should be encouraging older 

people back in,” Mrs Palmer 

said. 

She said, as it stands, ECan is 

not making it easy for people to 

use public transport. 

Mrs Palmer spoke to the 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board, which is writing a letter 

of support to ECan and will 

make a deputation to the greater 

Christchurch public transport 

joint committee. 

ECan public transport planning 

manager Edward Wright 

said there were no immediate 

plans to reintroduce a service on 

Grants Rd. 

“Coverage in this area will be

Papanui resident to purchase a 

specialised wheelchair. 

A devastating stroke when she 

was 36 left Ms Williams unable 

to move the right side of her 

body. 

To help her adjust to her 

new life, she started playing 

wheelchair football. 

She was selected to play for the 

Canterbury Boltz Power Chair 

team, before representing New 

Zealand internationally. 

Ms Williams said playing 

football brought so much 

enjoyment back into her life and,

investigated during 2018 at a 

high level through the Regional 

Public Transport Plan Network 

Review, and then at a more localised 

level through the subsequent 

service reviews.” 

He said there would be an 

opportunity for the public to 

provide feedback during both 

reviews. 

In the meantime, the board is 

looking into providing a shuttle 

service for residents of the retirement 

village to the nearest stop. 

But Mrs Palmer said reinstating 

the bus route was more 

important. 

“You’ve got to think about 

drivers and paying for the van,” 

she said.

without the Mazda Foundation 

grant, she could not afford to

“Football really helped me

wheelchair, and being asked to 

represent New Zealand was a 

dream come true. It inspired me 

to set new goals and now I’ve got 

many more things I’m aiming to 

achieve,” she said. 

Ms Williams said the Mazda 

Foundation grant was the boost 

she needed after fundraising for 

two years.

Breaking news,

your pocket.

anytime, anywhere! 


The opening of the 52nd 

Parliament last month underlined 

the privilege I feel in representing 

you as your MP for a second term. 

I will be representing your views 

in Parliament over the next three 

years so please get in touch if there 

is something you would like to share 

with me on how we could do things 

better. 

Last week I spoke in Parliament 

as part of cross-party support 

for the Christchurch Cathedral 

Reinstatement Bill – an important 

next step in Canterbury’s 

regeneration. Government 

intervention will streamline 

processes and deliver a financial 

contribution with a $10m grant, a 

$15m loan and an initiative around 

fundraising. We need to ensure 

the legislation will deliver what we 

need on the ground, with many 

Cantabrians saying that what should 

be driving works on these anchor 

and priority projects is quality. 

Redwood, Belfast and Northwood 

residents contacted me with 

concerns this month after viewing 

stickers placed by NZ Post on 

receiving boxes in their area. 

The notices suggested that the 

post boxes were being removed. 

I immediately contacted NZ Post 

to find out what was happening 

and am glad to report the boxes 

are not being removed and that 

the notices advise people that the 

clearance times are being reduced. 

I have asked NZ Post to please 

look at rewording these notices as 

they have caused confusion and 

concern for many of our elderly 

residents. 

From my family to yours, I wish 

you a healthy and happy Christmas 

and a peaceful new year. My 

offices re-open on 8 January so if 

you need any assistance, please do 

get in contact.

Shops bursting with 

festive gift ideas 

Finding those special gifts and stocking 

fillers as well as the Christmas treats for 

the table is so easy at our city’s malls and 

shopping centres, where the shops are 

bursting with festive merchandise. 

Every woman likes to receive bodypampering 

gifts, and there is a huge 

selection of these priced to suit all budgets 

at the many pharmacies and gift shops 

around the city. Perfume is another 

favourite and again there is a wide 

selection to choose from, ranging from 

exciting new releases to the well-known 

fragrances that have stood the test of time. 

Lingerie, jewellery, fashion accessories, 

homewares and decor items – there’s no 

end to the ideas for the women on the list. 

The men are equally well catered for, from 

the sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, 

to the car-crazy brothers and the DIY 

in Nor’West News 

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making 

up the Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you 

haven’t already done so. 

enthusiast and keen gardener husbands 

and dads. Choose from clothing, books, 

tools, personal grooming items and 

gadgets to put a smile on their face on 

Christmas morning. 

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families 

more joy than seeing the excitement 

of the children opening their presents. 

Whether they are delivered by Santa or 

snuck under the tree by mum and dad, 

the cuddly toys, games, dolls and building 

blocks, the candy canes, toy trucks and 

pretty dresses currently filling the shops 

will bring squeals of sheer happiness from 

the smallest family members. 

The tweens and teens usually have their 

own ideas about what they want for 

Christmas, so the gift cards offered by a 

wide range of retailers are the perfect way 

to please.

DONATION: Christchurch Hospital and Countdown Northlands staff with the cheque for more 

than $75,000. 

Countdown Northlands gives 

$76,935 to children’s hospitals 

MORE THAN $75,000 has been 

donated to children’s hospitals 

by Countdown Northlands – 

$76,935 to be exact. 

The supermarket presented 

Christchurch Hospital with the 

cheque for following the Countdown

fundraising efforts. 

The hospital is set to spend the 

money on ultrasonic height and 

weight measuring equipment 

for children’s acute assessments, 

outpatients, oncology wards and 

ward 22 and 21. 

It will also help pay for equipment 

for the children’s outreach, 

neonatal and neonatal outreach 

wards to get children home from 

hospital faster. 

The Countdown appeal has 

raised more than $1.26 million 

for 13 children’s wards around 

the country. 

FLAME FILES 

• By Mark Thomas – fire risk 

management officer 

AS THE summer heats up, so 

does the number of calls our 

troops are attending. 

It’s normal to have about 100 

calls in a week. 

Weather events, of course, add 

to the number. 

So the 169 incidents attended 

last week can at least in part be 

attributed to the weather, or the 

heat, to be more precise. 

A large number of false 

alarms, presumably from fire 

detection systems drooping and 

a large number of ambulance 

assists including, unfortunately, 

several sudden deaths, added to 

the list. 

Also we attended far too many 

grass and skip or bin fires. 

While a few of these are the 

result of accidents most of them 

were lit deliberately. 

Whether it be kids playing or 


Local 


Now 


Fire warning as 

summer starts 

heating up early 

malicious fire-starters, the dry 

conditions make all of these 

potentially serious. 

The Governors Bay crew were 

called to the local hotel on December 

2 to what turned out to 

be a patron puffing on a vaping 

cigarette. 

It’s a first for me to see this but 

hardly surprising. 

I followed a car the other day 

with two people both vaping 

and both front windows open. 

The clouds of vapour they 

were seemingly choreographing 

erupted from both sides of the 

car like whistles from a steam 

train. I guess it’s better for them 

than the alternative! 

Sprinklers in buildings are 

expensive. But one operating in 

Pak’nSave in the Hornby Hub 

on December 3 stopped a fire 

from a bakers oven in its tracks. 

The mall re-opened quickly. 

That’s why we love sprinkler 

systems.

From the Board 

As we go to print we are excited to hear 

our new Bishop, Fr Paul Martin SM, 

has been appointed to Christchurch. In 

celebrating the news, a special thank 

you must go to Fr Rick Loughnan for 

his leadership in the interim, to the 

Diocese for its ongoing support and 

we remember Bishop Barry Jones 

with fondness. Bishop-Elect Paul’s 

appointment represents an exciting 

new phase of growth for our 

Catholic community. 

Thank you to our Board of Trustees, 

college and community and members 

of the Marian Foundation for your work 

throughout 2017. 

To our Marian girls – relax and enjoy the 

well-earned break. There are some fantastic 

programmes, and collaborative project 

opportunities planned for 2018. 

And finally, congratulations to our 2017 

Marian College leavers. The gospel values 

– which underpin the special character of 

Marian College – will guide you well into 

the future. We wish you all the very best 

and please keep in touch. 

Wishing you good health and blessings 

this Christmas.

has received the St John Grand Prior 

Award in a ceremony hosted by the 

Governor-General in Dunedin. 

The Grand Prior Award is the ultimate 

award, other than for bravery, for St John 

Cadets. Georgiana was one of 90 cadets 

- including former Marian student Steph 

Wessing (left) - from around New Zealand 

to receive the prestigious award. 

‘I love learning new leadership skills and 

I’m really thankful I joined St John, as 

otherwise I wouldn’t have considered the 

Navy as a career path,’ she says. 

Georgiana’s plans include a gap year, 

travel, and a career in the Navy 

as a medic. 

The opportunities and benefits of an innercity 

campus are many for Marian College 

students. 

From Year 11, students can choose to 

earn credits at Ara Institute of Canterbury, 

making the most of excellent facilities and 

teaching expertise – just across the road.

Whatever we want to be... 

Young Māori Marian 

College students 

participating in the 

Manukura programme 

are realising if they put 

their minds to it – they 

can do and be whatever 

they want. 

The programme is a 

partnership between 

Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Te 

Tapuae o Rehua 

and seven eastern 

Christchurch secondary 

schools and aims to 

ensure young Māori see 

themselves as leaders 

of the future. 

Participating student Rawinia Tahi (Ngāti

Year 11 Marian College student Keely 

Stuart (Te Aitanga-A-Mahaki) has received 

a Ngā Mahi-a-Ringa Pūtaiao Scholarship 

from Otago University. Keely will be 

participating in a week-long Hands-on 

at Otago programme during the summer 

holidays to experience being a science 

student on campus. 

Keely says she is very excited to be 

accepted onto the fully-funded programme. 

‘I’m interested in a career in health, 

science and physiology so it will be a great 

opportunity to see what Otago University is 

like,’ she says. 

‘Recognising my gifts and 

understanding how I can use them to 

help others, was the biggest realisation 

for me,’ Rawinia says. 

Zonta Awards 

The Zonta Awards are a celebration of the 

highest sports achievers - leaders in their 

sport locally and often competitors on the 

world stage. 

This year, three Marian College students 

were finalists at the Zonta Sports Awards. 

Renee Rae won the top award for her 

contribution to netball umpiring. A judge 

said Renee follows a long tradition of 

Marian students who have won the award, 

and there was something very special about 

Marian College and its tradition of service. 

Rebecca Lake (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Irakehu) 

and Millicent Smith (Ngāpuhi) were both 

nominated for outstanding achievement 

for their New Zealand representation 

in football and ice hockey respectively. 

This is the second year Rebecca has been 

acknowledged in the highly competed 

category.

CHRISTMAS HAM ON THE BONE GLAZED WITH PINEAPPLE 

Ingredients 

4kg ham on the bone 

1 cup canned crushed pineapple, 

drained 

1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed 

1 tsp ground ginger 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 180 deg 

C. Run a knife around the shank 

end of the ham. Carefully slice 

under the edge of the rind at the 

base of the ham. Use your fingers 

to ease between the rind and the 

fat. Pull to gently remove the 

rind. With a sharp knife, score 

the fat with 3mm-deep cuts in a 

diamond pattern. Place ham in a 

foil-lined oven pan large enough 

to catch any glaze that drips as it 

cooks. Surround ham with one 

cup cold water. 

Drain pineapple and combine 

with glaze ingredients in a bowl. 

Smear glaze over scored fat of 

ham. 

Bake ham for 40-45min, 

basting at regular intervals until 

the glaze has caramelised to a 

golden brown. 

Rest the baked ham for at least 

15min before carving. Sliced ham 

can either be served hot or at 

room temperature. 

ROSE PETAL MERINGUE WITH SUMMER BERRIES AND STRAWBERRY SAUCE 

Ingredients 

5 eggs 

300g caster sugar 

1 Tbsp cornflour 

1 Tbsp dried rose petals 

300 ml cream 

250g blueberries 

250g raspberries 

1 lime 

250g strawberries 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 200 deg C 

and line a flat baking sheet with 

non-stick baking paper. Using 

an electric beater, whip the egg 

whites until firm, then whisk in 

the sugar. Fold in the cornflour 

and rose petals and place large 

spoonfuls of the mixture onto 

the baking sheet. Bake for 40- 

45min. 

When the meringue tops are 

crisp, remove them from the 

oven and leave to cool. For the 

sauce, puree the strawberries 

and lime juice in a blender. If the 

flavour is too sharp, add a little 

icing sugar. 

Whip the cream until it looks 

soft. Mix the berries in a bowl.

FRESH: Tomato plants ready to leave Rolleston. 

Rolleston Prison donates 

tomato plants to 

social housing tenants 

MORE than 5000 tomato 

plants have been handed 

over to the Ōtautahi 

Community Housing 

Trust to be donated to city 

housing tenants. 

The plants are an annual 

project at Rolleston Prison 

and are grown from seed 

to plant ready for home 

gardens. 

The plants take eight to 

ten weeks from planting 

and germination until 

they are ready to be collected. 

“This project gives 

prisoners an opportunity 

to give something back 

and provides people in 

the community with the 

means to grow healthy 

food for themselves and 

their family,” said Rolleston 

Prison director Mike 

Howson. 

“Many of the prisoners 

know what it is like to 

struggle financially and 

they enjoy the opportunity 

to do something for the 

community, especially 

near to Christmas. Seeing 

the plants leave the prison 

for a person’s garden 

means a great deal to the 

men involved,” he said. 

More than 40,000 

tomato plants have been 

cultivated and donated 

since the Tomatoes for 

Tenants Project began 

in 2008 and the annual 

delivery of the tomatoes is 

highly anticipated by the 

city housing tenants. 

Rick Fraser of Ōtautahi 

said the trust values the 

partnership with Rolleston 

Prison and many tenants 

appreciate the plants and 

save a space in their gardens 

for them. 

Leftover plants are gifted 

to schools and community 

groups.

Miracle weight loss fruit 

An extract of a small pumpkin-like fruit 

called Garcinia Cambogia from India & 

Asia has shown itself to greatly assist weight 

management & overall health. In fact many 

have found it to increase fat loss by 2 to 3 

times greater than normal. T.V. Dr. Oz has 

said it is the most effective & fastest working 

natural supplement to support weight loss. 

Even without exercise & diet changes

Dilo Oil – The Remarkable 

Skin Rejuvenator 

Until Rachel 

Hunter’s popular 

TV series “TOUR 

OF BEAUTY” Dilo 

Oil was relatively 

unknown, being one 

of the best-kept secrets 

of the Pacific Islands. It 

may however be the number 

one natural beauty oil available 

as it possesses powerful natural skin 

regeneration and healing properties. 

According to ethnobotanist Chris 

Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-lo) 

Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as 

it is one of the most effective agents 

in promoting the regeneration and 

formation of new tissue, thereby 

accelerating wound healing and 

the growth of healthy skin. Dilo 

Oil is super-absorbing and can 

penetrate all three layers of the 

skin, offering exceptional cell 

hydration and regeneration. 

As well as this, Dilo Oil has 

potent anti-inflammatory, 

antimicrobial, antifungal and 

antioxidant properties. 

Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the 

skin young and youthful and for just about 

any skin complaint. Some of the conditions 

for which it is considered helpful include 

abrasions, cuts and cracks, acne and 

acne scars, pimples, blemishes, stretch 

marks, wrinkles, blisters, burns (including 

chemical and radiation), diabetic sores, 

rashes, shaving irritation, dry or scaly skin,

Opening Wednesday, 3 January 2018 

Kerbside public 

holiday collection 

is changing 

Starting this Christmas, you will notice a change with 

your kerbside collection on certain public holidays. 

Wheelie bins will now be collected a day after their 

usual collection day. 

60 Langdons Road, Papanui 

Hours: Monday-Friday 7am to 4:45pm 

Saturday 8am to 12:45pm 

Canterbury SCL advises clients and patients that its Milford Chambers site at 

St George’s Hospital will be re-locating to Northfield Business Park in Papanui. 

The new collection centre offers convenient opening hours and ample free 

on-site parking. 

For a fast, high-quality service utilising the latest in medical test technology, residents of 

the northwestern suburbs can rely on this new facility for medical tests such as blood 

tests, urine and faecal samples. In most cases an appointment will not be necessary. 

Medical tests can be requested by your GP (in most cases these will be free) or you 

can choose to have a test done yourself, without a medical referral. Your GP will 

advise you on any preparation you need to do before having 

your test done. 

Note: the collection centre at St George’s Canon Wilford 

wing will be unaffected by this change and will remain open 

with its current operating hours. 

We look forward to seeing you at the new centre.

Time to check your tyres before 

heading away on holiday 

As the holidays approach and plans are 

made for summer road trips, now is the 

time to check that your tyres are in good 

condition, says Julie Hurst of JCM Direct, 

the tyre specialists in Birmingham Drive. 

Julie and her husband Athol own the 

business, with Julie running it on a dayto-day 

basis. 

Now that WOFs on later model vehicles 

are issued every 12 months, drivers may 

be unaware that their tyres are becoming 

worn, Julie says. 

“Come in and see us. We offer free tyre 

checks, so you can head away on holiday 

knowing they are roadworthy and your 

family is safe.” 

If tyres do need replacing, JCM Direct 

offers a wide variety of quality brands at 

very competitive prices. They have new 

tyres for everything from cars, vans and 

4WDs, to caravans, ride-on mowers, 

wheelbarrows and trailers. As well as an 

excellent selection of quality second-hand 

tyres for most vehicles, they hold a vast 

selection of 4WD tyres in stock. 

JCM Direct also offer puncture repairs, 

supply and fitting of new and secondhand 

alloy wheels, wheel alignments, 

replacement factory steel rims and rim 

repairs. 

“We also specialise in old rims from 

the 1930s to 1970s for people with older 

caravans and trailers – the modern rims 

won’t fit those,” Julie says. 

Finance is available with Q Card or 

Farmers Card. 

JCM Direct is located on the corner 

of Birmingham Drive and Hands Road. 

They are open Monday to Friday, 9.30am- 

5pm and Saturday 9.30am-1pm. Phone

Is your property 

safe from fire? 

Here’s a guide to help understand 

the risk in your area 

During the fire season, there are some risks you need to know about to help keep you, 

your family and your property safe. 

Throughout New Zealand, there are different levels of risk, depending on where you 

live and what the area around you is like. As we build more and more homes in 

previously rural areas, the level of risk is different to properties built in a more urban 

setting. Make sure you check your property and are aware of your surroundings so 

you can be best prepared this fire season. 

Steps you need to take to keep your property safe 

1 

2 

3 

Make sure you have a ‘safe zone’ around your property 

- Clear vegetation close to your home. This could fuel a fire if one started. 

- Choose plants with low flammability – native plants are often better. 

- Keep your lawns mowed and green. 

- Don’t store firewood close to the house. 

- Clear your gutters of dry leaves. 

- Be careful when using any mechanical equipment in dry conditions. 

Have an escape plan and an agreed safe meeting place 

- Go to www.escapeplanner.co.nz to make a plan to get out of your 

home safely and agree a safe meeting place. Practise this regularly. 

- Think about where you will meet if you need to evacuate the area. 

- Have an emergency evacuation kit in case you need to leave quickly. 

- If in doubt, leave early. 

Good access for firefighters 

- Fire trucks need a lot of space to manoeuvre. Make sure there are no 

overgrown trees or other obstacles that may prevent access to your 

property. 

- We can pump from water supplies such as a pond, pool or tank. 

- Make sure your address or RAPID number is clearly visible. 

The fire risk applies to everyone, no matter where you live.

ALI HARPER CELEBRATES 

THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS 

AWARD winning entertainer - Ali Harper - is 

once again bringing some Christmas Joy to 

Canterbury. Aer her sold out Christmas Joy 

shows last year, Ali has put together another 

beautifully festive concert incorporating the 

Voices Co Youth Ensemble along with winner 

of TVNZ’s Naked Choir and founder of Voices 

Co, Julian Hay on piano. 

“I adore this time of year. Not only because 

I see it through the eyes of my children but 

because it’s a special time to reflect on the past 

year, the joys and the challenges. I have 

created a concert that will include the angelic 

voices of children singing which is both pure 

and for me what Christmas is all about.” 

In a career spanning 25 years, Ali has 

starred in numerous musicals and plays across 

CHRISTMAS JOY Produced by Ali-Cat Productions 

Starring: Ali Harper, Voices Co Youth Ensemble, 

Lily Barrowcliffe and Julian Hay.

“YOU would be mad not to go and sparkle 

in Ali Harper’s light.” - eatreview 2017. 

“Loud applause for this generously gied 

actress, with an all-enveloping voice that can 

take us with her no matter what she sings, is a 

further extension of the celebration of song that 

Ali offers.” - Lindsay Clark, eatreview
