DETERIORATING: The city council wants to spend $4 million raising stopbanks and replacing sandbags along the Avon River to help prevent flooding.

$4m flood mitigation project planned 

Temporary stopbanks need raising and sandbags replaced 

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE 

The height of temporary 

stopbanks along the Avon River 

from South New Brighton to 

Kerrs Reach could be raised and 

sandbags replaced under a $4 

million project. 

A report will go to a city 

council committee on Thursday, 

recommending “urgent” sandbag 

replacements and higher 

stopbank levels, in a bid to 

reduce instances of flooding. 

The temporary stopbanks were 

constructed under emergency 

legislation following the February 

2011 earthquake to mitigate 

tidal flooding. 

Because the stopbanks 

were only designed to have 

a “life of five years” and not 

designed to withstand high 

magnitude earthquakes, the 

report said urgent solution was 

required. 

The Valentine’s Day 

earthquake exacerbated the 

problem with 

five locations 

along the Avon 

River affected 

with increased 

seepage, and 

cracking. 

If approved 

construction begins in July. 

The news comes after Pegasus 

Post reported in February 

that Southshore Residents’ 

Association and the South 

Brighton Residents’ Association 

INSIDE: • Fifty years of plumbing, p6 • Views on fireworks moving elsewhere, p7 

were concerned about the 

deteriorated state of the 

temporary stopbanks. 

City council staff have 

recommended that $4 million 

be spent on the detailed design 

and construction of raising the 

stopbanks between 40cm and 

50cm and replacing sandbags. 

But South Brighton Residents’ 

Association chairman Hugo 

Kristinsson (left) who has 

lobbied for a solution, said the 

city council’s solution does not 

go far enough. 

“That budget ($4 million) 

is concerning. When they are 

fixing the surface, they are 

missing the problems which 

are in the ground. This is just 

cosmetic fixing, it’s like a 

makeover for a person with a 

black eye. The problem is still 

there,” he said. 

“They just want to get the 

extra 20 years to push it away. 

They just want to get us off their 

back,” he said.

Land sale will break ‘agreement’ 

Campaigner 

has proof that 

QEII land 

cannot be sold 


Community campaigner Garry 

House has his sights set on 

proving the partial sale of 

QEII will break a 53-year-old 

agreement. 

Mr House says he has a document 

which will prove that the 

city council cannot 

sell land for Shirley 

Boys’ and Avonside 

Girls’ development. 

It relates to 

what he says is an 

agreement between Garry House 

the city council and 

the former owners of the land – 

the now defunct New Brighton 

Trotting Club. 

Mr House said more than 50 

years ago the land was sold to the 

city council at a cut price on the 

condition that the land was only 

ever used for recreation and sport. 

“It is stated quite clearly that 

the council would use it for sport 

and recreation only. They would 

maintain it under this environment 

in perpetuity,” he said. 

But the city council says there 

is “no evidence” of any such 

agreement. 

“We have done extensive 

research into this and there is no 

evidence or documentation to 

support the claims . . .” said a 

city council spokeswoman. 

However, Mr House said he 

will fight to ensure the city council 

honours the agreeement. 

Mr House is the chairman of 

Standards New Zealand and 

works as an engineering consultant. 

He successfully lobbied to 

stop the city council installing 

pressure wastewater systems 

septic tanks on residents’ properties 

in Parklands and North New 

Brighton. 

Mr House is also the secretary 

of the New Brighton Returned 

Services Association. 

When he tabled the document 

he found last year while in Wellington, 

searching land records 

at the Land Information New 

Zealand at the hearing on the 

QEII land sale last week. 

He said it was met with 

“shock” and silence. 

City councillors Yani Johanson, 

Glenn Livingstone and 

David East are on the panel. 

After listening to Mr House’s 

submission, Cr Johanson requested 

that city council staff 

investigate the matter further. 

Cr Johanson said a decision on 

the sale would be made after the 

hearing panel made a visit to QE 

II Park this week, and after all 

relevant information had been 

passed on by city council staff. 

TINY HUTS COMPETITION 

Five small-scale ‘tiny huts’ are 

headed to New Brighton this 

summer and the city council is 

holding a competition on what 

goes in them. The tiny huts are 

based on English seaside beach 

huts, each are 2 sq m. They are 

to be placed in New Brighton’s 

town centre in summer to liven 

up the community’s public 

places and showcase activities. 

The five winning designs will 

get $2000 in prize money. 

The New Brighton Tiny Huts 

Design Competition is open 

until June 28, with entry forms 

available online at www.ccc. 

govt.nz/tinyhuts. 

SCOOTER, CAR COLLIDE 

A man in his 70s was taken 

to hospital last week after a 

collision between his scooter 

and a car. The incident 

happened at about 4.15pm on 

Thursday in Mairehau. St John 

took the man to hospital with 

moderate injuries. 

STRONGER WASTEWATER 

SYSTEM FOR ARANUI 

Another 200 Aranui homes 

will be connected to a more 

earthquake-resilient wastewater 

system over the next four 

months. This week Stronger 

Christchurch Infrastructure 

Rebuild Team will begin to 

connect the homes to the new 

vacuum system.

Housing subsidy still needed 

A Government heating and 

insulation subsidy programme 

comes to an end in June. Community 

Energy Action Charitable 

Trust chief executive Caroline 

Shone writes this week’s column 

about the importance of the 

programme and why it should 

continue in some form. 

Shelter is one of 

the most basic of 

human needs and 

the Universal 

Declaration 

of Human 

Rights says that 

everyone has the 

right to housing. 

It can be debated that housing 

that makes people sick, isn’t housing 

at all. 

However, houses that are damp, 

houses that are cold, with the 

people living in them unable to 

heat them to an adequate temperature 

to keep them healthy, are 

a reality for many households in 

Christchurch. 

The old, the young and the sick 

suffer most in those houses. 

We all know the result. 

Every winter sees many residents 

ending up in hospital with 

preventable cold-related health issues. 

Even healthy people get sick 

more often in those cold, damp 

houses. 

SOAP 

BOX 

From experience we know that 

installing insulation and heating 

in people’s homes especially those 

with health conditions will reduce 

hospitalisations, delivering cost 

savings to the health system. 

Installing insulation and heating 

is a one-off cost but the benefits 

last a long time, saving money on 

health and saving lives every year. 

The Government through the 

Energy Efficiency and Conservation 

Authority has spent $450 

million nationwide on insulation 

and heating subsidies over the last 

couple of years. 

And we know it has made a 

difference. 

The current subsidy programme 

comes to an end in June this year. 

It would be fantastic if subsidies 

would be available in the future 

for those who need insulation. 

It’s a great way for Christchurch 

people to help those in their community 

who need a bit of help to 

create a warm, dry, healthy home.

pier is fixed? 

You said: 

Elinor Graeme: Back into 

Hagley Park as that is the centre 

of the city. We have never gone 

to New Brighton on November 

5 as it is too difficult to get there 

and back. 

Sasheen Elizbeth-Jane 

Brownlie: Back in Hagley 

Park where there is less wind 

and therefore less smoke. Yeah 

great. Or up where the gondola 

is, to see from both sides. 

Bethany Nehoff- 

Thompson: Back to Hagley 

Park. Should have always been 

in there. 

Jill Reesby: What about Victoria/ 

Bowenvale/ Mount Vernon 

Park areas? Can be viewed 

from all over the city, even 

from your private backyard. No 

traffic issues there. Tune into a 

live radio station for the music 

to go with the show. And there 

are areas around these parks for 

gatherings for those that wish to 

be there. 

Margaret Gamblin: Back in 

Hagley Park where it used to be. 

It’d be easier for traffic. 

Jess Gardner: Combine it 

with the Rolleston fireworks 

instead - make it better and 

longer. 

Todd Cameron: What about 

Sugarloaf car park? Then the 

whole city can see them. Just 

ditch the teeny ones and go for 

the big ones. 

Katrina Prendergast: Nowhere, 

save the money and put 

it into more needed resources. 

Less harm on the animals too. 

Andrew Johnson: Hagley. 

Traffic would be a nightmare in 

Scarborough. 

Anne Marie Smulders: Can’t 

it be done from boats, like in 

many other places like The 

Hague, Hong Kong?

Hunt on to find owner 

of mystery parakeet 


When the Foley family moved into 

their Burwood house last August, 

they weren’t expecting to be woken 

by a screeching parakeet every 

morning. 

But that is exactly what happened. 

Now the search is on to find the 

owner of the parakeet who, inspite of 

the early 6.30am wake up call each 

morning, the neighbourhood has 

grown quite fond of. 

The Foleys moved just a few 

kilometres from their earthquakedamaged 

Lake Terrace Rd home, 

and for the first month of their stay, 

everything was normal. 

But by mid-September, they were 

being awoken consistently at about 

6.30am every day by the screeching 

parakeet. 

Roger Foley said at first he had 

no idea what was making the noise, 

and went outside to investigate. 

“I had no idea what was going on, 

and went outside to see this beautiful 

parakeet in the trees,” he said. 

The next day he talked to his 

neighbours, who told him they were 

surprised that the bird had returned 

to the neighbourhood after a cold 

winter. 

FRIENDLY ALARM: This parakeet has a tendency to wake up its neighbours at 

6.30am every day. But they love it. 

They told him it was a regular 

visitor in the past summer, but presumed 

it had died in the winter. 

“They said last winter it had 

come too, and they just loved it,” 

Mr Foley said. 

He said the parakeet had a regular 

schedule it stuck to. 

“It’ll appear in our trees at 

6.30am and start screeching, mainly 

in our big tree. Then it’ll fly across 

to the neighbours and disappear at 

about 10.30am. It’ll come back at 

night briefly, and then go away until 

morning,” he said. 

Now, instead of seeing the parakeet 

as a loud nuisance, Mr Foley’s 

children enjoy being woken up by 

the bird. 

“Now they love the parakeet too. I 

just worry someone is missing their 

pet,” he said. 

Mr Foley said he had no idea how 

old the bird was, or who it belonged 

to, but thought the owners should 

know it was safe and in good health.

in the square. The guy that was 

interviewing me said ‘I know 

a bloke by the name of Athol 

Jamieson.’ He knew him on a 

fairly friendly basis so I went 

and saw him. He had a fairly 

large company and said ‘there’s a 

job there if you want it.’ I’d seen 

plumbers, we’d not long had the 

sewerage put on in the house and 

a flush toilet put in, which you 

guys would take for granted now. 

I was fascinated. So I thought 

‘it’s not a bad idea’, and that’s 

what it was. 

So when did you start your 

apprenticeship? 

In the days when I did my apprenticeship, 

you signed up for 

what they called a 12,000 hour 

apprenticeship which equates to 

six years. In that era, when you 

got to your fifth year you could 

sit your license and if you passed 

your exam you didn’t have to do 

your sixth year, so there was a 

lot of incentive there. In those 

days it was about five pounds a 

week which probably equates to, 

I don’t know, $200 these days. 

A tradesman now could get 

about $30 an hour, about $1200 

a week, and an apprentice, well 

they probably get more than 

$200, so a lot of incentive there 

to pass. I spent most of my apprenticeship 

under a guy named 

Bill Walsh, an Irish plumber, 

and also with his brother John. 

They were ship’s plumbers, they 

were fastidious. If something 

happened it was either right or it 

was wrong. 

And after you finished your 

apprenticeship did you stay 

with the same company? 

No, after I finished I left 

plumbing for a wee while and I 

did quantity surveying. It was a 

very good experience and I was 

fortunate that I had the trades 

experience to do it. It was very 

enjoyable. 

Did you work on any big 

projects? 

I did, it was Wilkins and 

Davies I was working for at the 

time. The buildings at Canterbury 

University were being built 

then, and we worked on them. 

That was straight out of my apprenticeship, 

so when I left that I 

went to learn about drain laying. 

I’ve always enjoyed drain laying. 

When you’re doing it, you feel 

like you’ve achieved more than 

you would working in a bathroom. 

I did that for the best part 

of a year, then I put the sewerage 

into John Walsh’s house. That 

was the practical part of my 

exam. I started working for a 

drain laying firm then, but they 

went out of business, so at about 

23 I started working for myself. 

You knew nothing then, but that 

was beside the point because 

you thought you did and you had 

to get experience the hard way. 

So I was working for myself for 

a while and I was doing some 

tutoring at night. When you’re 

tutoring and still in the trades, 

to the students, you’re still a 

plumber. 

Working full time and tutoring 

at nights, it must’ve taken a 

toll on your social life? 

I was young, I was only about 

27 when I finished that and when 

you’re young you could burn the 

candle at both ends a bit. 

Where did you do your 

tutoring? 

In town, it was called 

Christchurch Technical College 

then - it has had about three 

name changes since then. It was 

only one night a week at that 

stage. That was about 1969, then 

me and another guy started commercial 

drain laying. We had a 

lot of fun, we did all of the drainage 

at QE II which was a monstrous 

job, but we just got stuck 

in and got on with it. We were 

young and wishful, ‘of course we 

can bloody well do it.’ 

Far out, was it only you two 

doing the job? 

No, we had 10 staff on. We 

updated the Kaiapoi sewerage 

plant as well. It was physical, 

hard work but enjoyable. You 

were outside all the time. Sometimes 

you wore yourself out, 

but that’s just life. We formed a 

partnership called Mitchell and 

Rodgers. You used to be filthy 

everyday, but that’s part of your 

life and you hope that you can 

look back on your life and have 

enjoyed it. 

How did it feel to receive that 

award? 

I thought why me? I’d started 

in 2005 with just me, with 

another tutor joining in 2006 and 

another in 2007. We now have 

eight, virtually a new tutor every 

year. We do work for the school’s 

organisation and Ara Institute of 

Canterbury managed apprenticeships 

in plumbing and gas fitting. 

We’ve grown and grown, I have 

to ask myself, is this real? 

It’s been an absolutely fantastic 

journey building this thing, I 

have had some really great support, 

and I didn’t do it alone by 

any stretch of the imagination. 

I’m putting back what I got out 

of the industry. 

And your family has been 

supportive for all this time, 

tutoring and working? 

I could never have done it 

without the support of my wife, 

Beth, she’s always worked in the 

background. 

Where did you meet your 

wife? 

Through one of my cousins, 

she was a friend of hers, they 

bought us together, many years 

ago now but that’s alright. We 

went to the pictures, the usual 

courting thing, it was different 

then than it is today, 6 o’clock 

closing, it was the 6 o’clock 

swill. We went to dances and the 

pictures, things like that, nothing 

out of the ordinary. 

Where did you grow up? 

In Marshland Rd, bottom end, 

so I’m not very far from home. 

There wasn’t many houses. We 

were in one of the houses at the 

bottom end. It was still basically 

farmlands, was still in the country 

then. Shirley Lodge it was 

called then, I don’t know what 

AT WORK: 

Phillip Mitchell 

has been a 

plumbing tutor 

at the Ara 

Institute of 

Canterbury for 

many years. At 

73, he is still 

going strong 

working three 

days a week. 

it’s called now, we were midway 

between that and Shirley Rd, but 

we still lived in the country. 

And where did you go to 

school? 

Shirley Primary of course, 

my great-grandparents on one 

side took up land on the side of 

Marshland Rd, so it was pretty 

family orientated from there. 

Every kid’s good at school, I was 

just an average kid at school. 

I didn’t excel at anything. My 

mother would’ve thought I was 

outstanding. 

Has your passion for plumbing 

been passed on to your 

kids? 

No, I’ve got two daughters and 

one grandson who is 32. I used 

to take him on work experience, 

he enjoyed it, and he could’ve 

done it blind, but he said there 

was too much to learn. But for 

the students, I’ve chosen my 

path, I have to sell them the 

industry. You go to work for fun, 

if you don’t enjoy your work, get 

another job! I’ve got to be passionate 

about the industry. 

Not looking at retirement? 

Well, I’m only working three 

days a week, I treat it as a hobby 

now, not a job. I’m going to be 74 

in a fortnight, so I guess I’ll have 

to sooner or later, but I’m still 

enjoying it.

The annual fireworks display will not be held at 

the New Brighton Pier for at least the next two 

years while it undergoes repairs. The Pegasus 

Post asked what people thought of the decision 

and if it was worth fighting to keep them in the 

eastern suburbs.

Southshore Residents’ 

Association chairman Bill 

Simpson: “It would be a 

bit disappointing to see 

it moved, but I suppose 

the repairs are necessary. 

I imagine it’d be good 

to have it temporarily in 

Scarborough but for the 

long term it should come 

back to New Brighton. If 

New Brighton residents 

are keen to keep it there, 

we’d definitely be in full 

support of them, but I 

don’t think we would 

initiate that ourselves. I 

would think a promise 

that it would come 

back would be better 

than a replacement 

event – there may be 

neighbourhood events 

on the beach but they 

wouldn’t be of the same 

scale.” 

New Brighton Union 

Parish co-ordinating 

minister Mark Gibson: 

“People have repair 

fatigue in the east. I 

just don’t think people 

will be able to handle 

anymore disruption to 

places they enjoy visiting 

in the area. It’s sort of 

taking yet another thing 

away from New Brighton. 

There have been a lot of 

losses, the community is 

desperate to see things 

built and installed and 

all the rest of it. They 

want to see new things 

that aren’t going to be 

taken away. I think there 

needs to be something 

else happening, if not 

in New Brighton then in 

the east in the interim 

during those repairs. But 

the city council should 

be committing itself 

long term to return the 

fireworks in New Brighton 

once the repairs are 

finished.”

COLDS 

IMMUNISE YOURSELF 

Have you immunised yourself & family against the 

bacterial complications of colds this winter. 

Strategic Urban 

Rejuvenation Force 

chairwoman Lesley 

Fulton: “I think probably 

the fear is that if it leaves 

it may never come back. 

Most of the work will be 

done from underneath 

and from the sea-level, 

so it’d just be about 

getting a few people onto 

the pier to set up the 

fireworks. Keeping them 

on the pier if possible 

should be the priority. If 

there is an opportunity 

for the community to 

fight for them then they 

should, it’s something 

special for us. If it is taken 

away then I’d rather 

have a promise than a 

replacement event. If 

they were prepared to 

have something in its 

place for those two years 

that would be good but 

I would want to see it 

come back after the 

repairs.” 

WARM STEAM 

VAPORIZER 

City councillor Glenn 

Livingstone: “What the 

closure means is two 

things for me: The first is 

amenity – we still want the 

community and the city to 

use and enjoy the pier. The 

other is safety. As elected 

members we have to make 

good sensible decisions. 

I’m not saying we can’t do 

it, but we are up against it. 

We need to keep pushing. 

I will be fighting to keep 

the fireworks. It’s a drawcard 

for New Brighton and 

I think we need to keep 

it. If they have to move, if 

they really have to . . . it 

is hard to get these things 

back. I would say we need 

a promise to keep it there 

after the repairs are done. 

As soon as you open that 

door for another venue, it 

is hard to get them back.” 

Natural Steam 

Relieves Cold & 

Flu Symptoms 

New Brighton Pier and 

Foreshore Society deputy 

chairman Tim Sintes: 

“When it was first being 

built, they held fireworks 

while it was still under 

construction. There must 

be a solution. If the tide 

is right, we could have it 

on a barge in the estuary, 

so everyone could see it. 

We want it on the pier, 

but we could have it 

there. It’s more than just 

a fireworks display for 

us – it’s one of the last 

things we have. You’ve 

got to be careful there 

(bringing in a replacement 

event) too, because if you 

bring a replacement to 

New Brighton you have 

to think about it affecting 

the community it was 

in before. I can’t think 

of any other community 

event that could replace 

the fireworks. I wouldn’t 

have a replacement event 

and promises have a habit 

of being broken around 

here.” 

Burwood-Pegasus 

Community Board 

member Linda Stewart: 

“It’s worth fighting for 

100 per cent. If we lose 

it we’ll find it very hard 

to get it back. There is 

always a solution, it’s just 

if the staff will work on 

it. No one has come back 

and said it can’t be held 

on the pier yet, so there 

is every possibility it can 

be done. I don’t know if a 

replacement event would 

be that successful. What 

else brings the whole city 

to New Brighton? The 

library is closing too, and 

I keep waiting for council 

staff to say ‘here’s the 

solution’, but they don’t. 

Probably I think the Santa 

Parade would be a good 

replacement, maybe 

running it from the pier 

to Rawhiti Domain. I’d 

take both. I’d like to see 

replacement events, and 

then when the repairs are 

done, the fireworks return 

to the pier.”

New Brighton inspires 

surfer turned author 


NEW POOL: City councillor Yani Johanson, Jack Cleminson, Regan and 

Liam Glass, and Beau Cole check out the demolished site. 

New pool work starts 

Work has begun on rebuilding the 

Avebury Park paddling pool in 

Richmond. 

The pool, on Evelyn Cousins 

Ave, has been closed since it was 

damaged beyond repair after the 

February 2011 earthquake. 

The demolition of the old pool 

began last Tuesday and was completed 

last Friday. 

The new facility will be rebuilt 

with new concrete surrounds, 

new seating areas, a new access 

ramp and a large shade sail. The 

original plant room and existing 

fencing will be reused. 

It is expected the new paddling 

pool will reopen towards the end 

of the year, in time for the summer 

months. 

Hagley-Ferrymead Community 

Board chairwoman Sara Templeton 

said the pool had been missed 

by the community and it would

be great to have it back up and 

running. 

“I know that many parents 

have taken their children to the 

pool over the years and that it has 

been sorely missed, especially 

with all of the hot days we’ve had 

recently,” she said.

If you were a surfer hanging 

around New Brighton beach in 

the 1970s you may recognise 

some of the characters in a new 

novel based on the area. 

Leon Paulin, 62, has released 

his new book Shooting 

Albatrosses, which he says 

does have characters that are 

“loosely” based on real life 

people that influenced his own 

childhood. 

The novel is about a young 

surfer taking on the waves at 

New Brighton, Scarborough 

and Taylors Mistake, while 

battling his own problems. 

“It is kind of loosely based on 

my experiences from the time. 

The characters have kind of 

little essences of real people in 

them. It’s a fictitious story with 

my background knowledge of 

the areas,” he said. 

Mr Paulin said it can be 

strange when a reader asks if 

the characters are based on real 

people they know. 

“People have since come up 

to me and said is this character 

based on such and such, or that 

reminds me of this person – it’s 

quite strange. It’s not intentional,” 

he said. 

He used his “extensive” 

knowledge of the coastal 

suburbs of Taylors Mistake, 

Scarborough and New Brighton 

while writing the post-earthquake 

story. 

“I was a bit of a surfer back in 

the day – my mates and I would 

mainly hang out around New 

Brighton Beach. 

“We used to live in North 

New Brighton on Bowhill Rd, 

and then Keyes Rd near New 

Brighton, before moving to 

Oamaru,” he said. 

Mr Paulin said the story was 

unique, but still “in a way, typically 

Kiwi”. 

“It’s basically about a teenage 

boy that’s been deserted by 

his father and has to look after

his mother. While he tries to do 

that, he also tries to prove himself 

to his father. It’s very kiwi 

in a way,” he said. 

Shooting Albatrosses is Mr

which he is “quite excited” 

about, although he has written 

others which haven’t been 

published.

Amputee’s story told 


When Trixie Wuts was born her parents 

had a very difficult decision to make 

whether or not to amputate both of her 

legs to the knee. 

On the advice of medical professionals, 

Trixie’s parents Anton and Margot 

Wuts decided amputation was the best 

solution. 

Their experience has been documented 

in a children’s book that they wrote, 

called Little Jellybean. 

It is being distributed by the Amputee 

Society of Canterbury and Westland to 

help families facing a similar choice. 

The society helped get a $5000 grant 

for the publishing and distribution of the 

book from the Artificial Limb Service. 

Trixie was diagnosed with distal arthrogryposis 

before she was born, meaning 

she had crooked or hooked joints in 

her feet. 

She had many procedures done when 

she was born, which attempted to correct 

the deformities in both of her feet, but 

they were largely unsuccessful. 

The surgery however, was and Trixie 

now “leads a full and active life” with 

her new feet. 

Amputee Society of Canterbury and 

Westland president Mark Bruce said the 

more families that can be reached with 

the book, the better. 

“It’s about raising awareness for 

parents in a situation where their child 

is very unwell. The story is mainly 

about the parents having to make an 

incredibly tough decision to help their 

children,” he said. 

Mr Bruce said the book will become 

an invaluable source for those looking 

for support. 

“If you have a young one with an 

amputation or have a young one about 

to undergo an amputation then this is a 

great resource. 

“The future of the federation is in its 

youth . . . If we can affect just one family 

with the help of this book, then it’s been 

a worthwhile venture,” he said. 

The society are making copies of the 

book available from their national and 

regional co-ordinators, who can be contacted 

on www.af.org.nz. 

NEW HELP: Amputee Society of Canterbury 

and Westland president Mark Bruce 

is helping promote a new source of 

information for parents. 

Haeata

Haircuts for Haircuts 

Celebrating 30 years of great service 

Haircuts for Haircuts are 

celebrating – this year, they 

turn 30. That’s 30 years of 

reasonably-priced great 

haircutting and 30 years of awesome, 

friendly customer service. 

It is rare for a small business to be so 

successful for so long - Michelle has been 

the driving force behind the two cutting 

bars for the three decades. She believes 

they have done so well because they go 

above and beyond for their customers. 

“We are already affordable, but we 

offer discounts for pensioners, university 

students and children on top of that,” 

she explains. “We are here for the whole 

family and we offer a welcoming, friendly 

atmosphere to make the experience 

enjoyable.” 

It’s easy and convenient, too. Because 

they are located in the Bush Inn Centre 

and South City Mall, getting a haircut can 

be combined with shopping and running 

errands. They are open mall hours, 7 days 

a week and there’s no need to be tied to an 

appointment. Just head on in, take your 

place and sit and relax while you wait. 

There are usually 4 to 5 stylists working at 

any time, so you’re never waiting for long. 

But it’s much more than that – all their staff 

are fully-qualified, professional stylists and 

they focus on nothing but hair cutting. 

That means they have expertise and will 

take the time to find out what you want and 

give you the best advice. They can deliver 

trend-of-the-moment cuts or whatever a 

client requests. They pride themselves on 

the positive experience they offer so that 

clients leave them looking good and feeling 

great. The salons are up to the minute, but 

Michelle has given them a taste of the past, 

too, installing traditional barber’s chairs 

in recognition of her 30 years’ anniversary 

so the customers get to combine the 

traditional with the ultra-modern. 

Michelle knows that it’s customer loyalty 

that has kept her in business for so long, 

and repays customers with a loyalty scheme 

where every 8th cut is free. She also offers 

styling products so you can recreate your 

salon look at home but her real aim is to 

cater for the community by providing 

fabulous haircuts for the whole family in 

a friendly atmosphere and all at affordable 

prices.

WORLD CHAMP: Ethan De Rose (second from right) recently won two junior world 

development speed skating gold medals. 

Ice skater celebrates 

birthday with gold 


Shirley Boys’ High School year 10 

student Ethan De Rose celebrated his 

14th birthday by becoming a youth 

world champion. 

Speed ice skater De Rose became the 

500m and 1000m sprint world youth 

champion, when he competed 

in two competitions 

in Melbourne. 

He also won a bronze 

medal when he competed 

in the age grade above. 

De Rose took to the 

ice for the International 

Skating Union’s World 

Development Short Track 

Speed Skating Trophy, 

and then the tri series 

competition the following 

weekend. 

In the first competition, he blitzed the 

preliminary heats for the 1000m, winning 

by more than 10sec. He followed 

that up by a 3sec win in the A final, earning 

him his first gold medal. 

The 500m sprint competition was a 

lot closer though, and as there were no 

preliminary heats, only a straight final, 

De Rose said he was happy to come 

away with a win by just a third of a 

second. 

“Yeah, really happy. I actually got my 

personal best in the 500m sprint. I did 

it in 47.8sec, which is only 0.8sec away 

from a junior Olympic qualification 

time,” he said. 

De Rose competed against international 

skaters in both the short track speed 

skating trophy and the tri series. 

He celebrated his 14th birthday while 

in Australia in the 

lead-up to the tri series 

competition.

“I’ve been to Australia 

a lot of times, this 

time I turned 14 . . . my 

parents didn’t really 

mind, they were pretty 

happy I was doing 

well,” he said. 

De Rose trains “well 

over” 10 hours a week 

at the Alpine Ice Sports 

Centre in Opawa. 

During the tri series, De Rose skated 

against 15 and 16-year-olds, and finished 

a respectable third place, and ranked 

seventh overall. 

From here, he plans to become a world 

champion. 

“I’m trying to get my time down so I 

can go to the junior world champs . . . 

The next step after the junior worlds is 

the senior worlds, with the top skaters in 

the world – I aim to be there one day,” 

he said. 

Dallington Oscar on site at Banks Avenue School entertained children during school 

holidays with a wearable arts competition. The children loved working together with 

lots of different materials and textures to dress up their friends.

HELP YOUR CHILD GROW 

- IN CONFIDENCE 

Life skills programme for children. 

Widely recognised trades training 

The Southern Institute of 

Technology Christchurch campus 

in Hornby offers a great range of 

education possibilities for those 

looking for a trade’s qualification. 

If you are keen on getting involved 

in Construction, we offer the National 

Certificate in Building, Construction and 

Allied Trades Skills, a 12 week, Level 2 

programme. This programme provides a 

pathway for students to enter into a range 

of trade-related professions and its main 

focus is teaching them the practical skills 

they require for further study. 

We also offer the Level 3 Certificate 

in Construction, where students spend 

three days on campus and two days out in 

the community on work experience. All 

students are involved in building a house 

from scratch, ensuring sound practical 

skills in conjunction with classroom 

learning. 

Our programmes are widely recognized 

within related industries and SIT has a 

proven record of students moving into 

employment or apprenticeships. 

Courses are NZQA approved and 

students are eligible for student loans and 

allowances. 

Spaces for midyear 2016 are filling fast

the facilities, call 0800 TO STUDY (0800 

867 883), go to www.sit.ac.nz or visit the 

campus at 60 Waterloo Road Hornby. 

Do your children lack selfconfidence, 

or perhaps have 

so much energy that they need 

an outlet for it? Development 

through drama is the ideal approach to 

teach confidence and channel youthful 

energy while building self-esteem. 

The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has 

been in New Zealand for 32 years. This 

highly regarded worldwide programme 

helps students aged 5 to 17 fulfil their 

potential by acting confidently and speaking 

clearly. This unique, self-development 

programme helps achieve invaluable life 

skills. The confident, articulate child makes 

friends easily, accepts challenges and new 

directions. Confident children become 

well-rounded adults. 

Our fully qualified teachers are trained 

in the Helen O’Grady Drama system, 

they ensure each child is encouraged 

and valued in a warm, positive learning 

environment. Lessons stimulate and 

motivate students without the exam or 

peer group pressure. Weekly class activities 

include speech training, creative movement 

and improvisation. Our Youth Theatre 

programme encourages the development 

of leadership and organisational skills. 

Three terms of the year cover the selfdevelopment 

programme and in the fourth 

term all students prepare a performance 

for parents and friends. We also offer 

Trinity College London examinations as 

an option for those who wish to pursue an 

international qualification. 

Our safe structured learning environment 

values student individuality and 

encourages team 

building. Most 

importantly its 

great fun too!

Be More 

Effective 

with Debbie 

Mayo-Smith 

Manage 

your time 

How can you effectively manage 

your busy day? Time 

management is not necessarily 

working “harder,” but rather, 

“smarter.” Here are five time 

management mistakes we 

should all avoid to increase our 

daily success both on and off the 

job. 

1. Starting your day without a 

plan of action. Time 

management is doing the right 

things initially. 

2. Losing balance in your life. 

Our lives comprise seven vital 

areas that need balance. These 

areas include health, family, 

financial, intellectual, social, 

professional, and spiritual. 

3. Working with a messy desk or 

work area. Studies have shown 

that the person who works with 

a messy desk spends, on 

average, one-and-a-half hours 

per day looking for things or 

being distracted by things. 

4. Getting insufficient sleep. 

Studies show that nearly 75 per 

cent of us complain on a regular 

basis that we are tired. 

5. Giving up a lunch break. Many 

Endurance cycling 

pushes lots of the

adulthood. 

do not take a lunch break. 

Studies have shown that after 

doing what we do for several 

hours, we start to “dull out.” 

A lunch break, even a short 

15-minute break, gives us a 

chance to get our batteries 

charged up again to more 

effectively handle. 

Bottom line: Prioritise! End 

your day with a list of things to 

do tomorrow. Ensure they are in 

order of importance and 

timeliness.

Device to Prevent Snoring 

Why put up with broken sleep, 

when help is at hand with 

Snorex, an appliance that 

prevents snoring, sleep 

apnoea, and dry and raw throats. 

Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth for 

comfort, and a follow up service is provided. 

Denise Lim has been involved with Snores 

for 19 years and has had a 98% success rate 

with people using the appliance. Snoring can 

be a health hazard, causing sleep apnoea, 

where the person actually stops breathing for 

short periods. 

It can cause short-term memory loss, 

tiredness and contribute to high blood 

pressure. 

The Snorex device does not feel restrictive, 

is non-invasive and carries a money-back 

guarantee. 

Many people are referred by ear, nose 

and throat specialists, however, anyone can 

phone for an appointment. 

For an information pack or to discuss 

the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim 

on 383 0994 or check out the website

A clever Lower Hutt woman has given me

Jenny Watson’s Aircycle is a perfect self-help 

answer. It’s totally transportable, folding to

and acclaimed by a growing number of users 

in its efficacy, and it can be easily posted in an

therapeutic device is used when sitting, most

says, “Many delighted people report that it 

helps relieve arthritic pain and other problems 

such as cramp and ankle swelling. We know 

that regular use while sitting watching TV 

can begin the progress of stronger legs, better 

balance, comfortable walking and freedom 

from discomfort. It’s an easy way to manage 

a range of health conditions – it offers 

relief. Any of us can use the Aircycle almost 

anywhere. 

Jenny showed me some of the many 

grateful letters she’d received. Often Aircycle 

users have spent heavily on medications 

and therapy before discovering this simple 

effective, drug-free device. Jenny says, “News 

is fast spreading by word of mouth, but we 

still have a way to go.” 

Well, I say, time others knew about it. Well 

done Jenny! Mum – you’re going to like this!

PEGASUS POST 

Care, compassion and skill 

define Nurse Maude 

Nurse Maude has been caring for the people of Canterbury since 1896. 

Much of this nursing care 

and support has been in the 

community so people can stay 

in their own homes and retain 

as much independence as possible. 

Every year millions of kilometres are 

clocked up as nurses and home support 

workers cross the Canterbury region 

providing personal, domestic, nursing and 

specialist palliative care. 

“All the nursing and homecare services 

we provide, whether it be in the community 

or in the Nurse Maude Hospital or Nurse 

Maude Hospice are founded on the core 

principles of partnership, respect and 

nursing excellence,” says Jim Magee, chief 

executive of Nurse Maude. 

“Our unique strength lies in the ability 

of our people to blend that with the values 

which motivated Sybilla Maude in 1896; 

that the needs of the patients and clients are 

met with quality nursing care and support 

provided by skilled and compassionate staff.” 

“The broad spectrum of care provided by 

Nurse Maude encompasses the two most 

vulnerable groups in our society, the very 

young and the elderly.” 

Nurse Maude has always been a 

collaborative organisation, providing care 

in partnership with general practitioners, 

practice nurses, district health boards, ACC 

and the Ministry of Health among others. 

“It is through improved communication 

and the sharing of information that these 

relationships continue to strengthen for 

the benefit of our patients and clients,” says 

Magee. 

From the frontline staff who exhibit 

that blend of expertise, efficiency and 

compassion which makes Nurse Maude so 

special through to those who support them 

in administrative roles and Nurse Maude’s 

volunteers who give so generously of their 

time and talent, the organisation that is 

Nurse Maude attracts enormous respect in 

the community. 

While the technology, processes and 

systems used to provide that care today 

would no doubt astonish Sibylla Maude, 

there is little doubt that 120 years on that 

the organisation that bears her name and 

continues her legacy of care would meet 

with her wholehearted approval.

Keep comfortable with 

EnviroMaster 

Are you struggling with the heat 

of Summer or wanting to get 

organised for Winter? With the 

ever changing weather patterns, 

heat pumps have the flexibility of being able 

to heat and cool which is an advantage no 

other appliance can offer. This represents 

great value for your investment as you can 

use it all year round. The team at Enviro 

Master Ltd can help keep you cool this 

Summer either at home or work. Enviro 

Master supplies, installs and services all 

the leading brands including Panasonic, 

Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means 

our team can show you which system and 

brand will best suit your needs. 

We currently have savings up to $600 

off the recommended retail price on 

selected models. 

Would you like to maximise the number 

of days you can use your swimming pool? 

Heating your pool can do this and one of 

the most cost effective ways is with a water 

heat pump. Enviro Master Ltd can supply, 

install and service you swimming pool heat 

pump providing you with a comfortable, 

extended swimming season. 

Servicing your heat pump is extremely 

important to ensure that it is working 

as effectively and efficiently as possible 

resulting in a healthy, hygienic heat pump, 

lower power bills and greater comfort. But 

beware, not all cleaning companies are 

equal. We are constantly hearing of people 

being charged huge amounts for servicing 

and all they are getting is a heat pump 

clean. We at Enviro Master, are qualified 

engineers and therefore are able to fully 

test and diagnose any problems you may 

or may not be aware of with your heat 

pump. Also, as we are associated with all 

major brands, we are able to repair these 

under warranty if they are still within the 

warranty period. 

It is important to remember, when 

selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s 

warranty does not cover the installation 

and consumers could be responsible for 

any repair or damage caused to the system 

due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s 

five-star installation guarantee ensures 

correct installation, and a demonstration 

so customers have an understanding on 

how it will best meet their needs.

An extensive range 

To ensure the quality of your air, contact 

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can 

calculate the required air exchange for 

your building requirement. Smooth- 

Air offers a wide range of ventilation equipment, 

from air vents to ducting for fans, for both 

the commercial and domestic markets. They 

have an extensive range of fans and ventilation 

components in-store but they can also provide 

innovative solutions tailored to differing 

requirements. 

VENTILATIoN 

This includes both the exchange of air to the 

outside as well as circulation of air within the 

building. It is one of the most important factors 

for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality 

in buildings. 

Filtered air supply for summer and filtered 

- warmed air in winter creates a healthy 

environment in which to live and work. In case 

of poor or insufficient air intake from outside, 

the oxygen content decreases, humidity and 

dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation 

is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air, 

smells, humidity and harmful substances are 

not removed. 

Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes 

stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel 

drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high 

content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful 

and can cause various diseases. Even bad smells 

can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous 

system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for 

cross ventilation, however as winter approaches, 

we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat 

and as a result, air quality can decline. 

It is therefore very important to ensure good 

air quality indoors through adequate ventilation.

What a view to wake up to 

18 Glendevere Terrace, Redcliffs 

Auction: May 12, 2016 

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3-car garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing #: FM4869 

Designed to maximise the glorious 

views, you will be captivated as 

you gaze over the estuary and 

Southshore to take in the sweep 

of Pegasus Bay to the Kaikouras beyond. 

This is not for the casual observer as the 

home conceals its appealing and spacious 

interior from the street, and it’s only once 

you have soaked up the stunning views will 

you be able to enjoy the expansive family 

living, including a bright, modern kitchen 

and defined dining area, then explore further 

into the home. 

To suit families who want extra space, 

there is a large formal lounge/media room 

on the first floor, which would also suit those 

who wished to have an office to work from 

home as it features easy separate access from 

the street while on the lower level the home 

offers a master bedroom complete with en 

suite, three further good-sized bedrooms 

and main bathroom. There is also the benefit 

of a shower room on the ground floor, which 

is ideal when you get back from a quick surf 

or trip to Sumner beach that is just a short 

drive away. 

For your outdoor entertaining, the west 

-facing timber deck is perfect for summer 

BBQs, or relaxing with a glass of wine at 

the end of the day. The internal access, 

triple garage for all the boy’s toys completes 

the package. 

Having just completed a major renovation 

to a very high standard, the home will meet 

the demands of the most discerning buyers 

and, while I am surprised the decision has 

been made to sell such a wonderful home, I 

have been given clear instructions to sell the 

property on auction day, unless sold prior. 

Open Home dates: Wednesdays and 

Sundays, 2pm to 2.40pm. See you at 

the Open Days. For more information 

or to arrange a private viewing, contact 

Chris Moores of Harcourts Grenadier 

Ferrymead (Licensed Agent REAA 

2008) on 384 7950 or 027 588 4440.
