Urgent
meeting
sought with
Education
Ministry
on future
of schools
• By Sophie Cornish
AN URGENT meeting with the
Ministry of Education has been
requested to discuss the future
of several school sites across east
Christchurch.
The Coastal-Burwood
Community Board want to hold
the meeting before Christmas.
Future use of the Burwood
School site, a delay in the
demolition of Aranui Primary
School, discussions about the sale
of Central New Brighton School,
and the impact six school
closures has had will be on the
agenda.
The community board will also
request meetings be set up with
community groups in response to
the use of the Aranui and Central
New Brighton school sites.
Said Coastal-Burwood Ward
city councillor Glenn Livingstone:
“Given the significance of the loses
– several schools – we’re saying,
hey, we want your attention.”
“Because this is big. Those
decisions were made following the
earthquake.”

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
from the editor’s desk
THERE APPEARS to be a bone of
contention over whether the grass on an
empty section in Avondale (see page 3) is a
fire risk or not.
Neighbour Maree Ross has been trying
without success to get the undergrowth cut
for sometime.
She and a nearby kindergarten say it’s a fire risk.
It is the section owner’s responsibility to cut the undergrowth.
But that person can’t be traced.
So Maree wants the city council to step in.
It appears they won’t. They’ve told her the undergrowth isn’t a
health risk in terms of rats, flies and other inhabitants.
Fire risk doesn’t seem to be on their radar.
And that’s puzzling given there’s a fire ban in place and the
region is tinder dry.

Clean this up – neighbour
• By Sophie Cornish
AN AVONDALE woman fed
up with living next door to an
overgrown property has been
told it isn’t the city council’s
problem.
Maree Ross has tried for more
than 18 months to get some
action on the mess which she
believes is a fire risk, attracts
flies and vermin and is affecting
her physical and mental health.
The property is next
to Woolley St Kidsfirst
kindergarten which is also
concerned about the fire risk.
Ms Ross was visited by a
city council staff member on
Thursday. He said the section
is not a health nuisance. The
section was not assessed
for fire risk, a city council
spokeswoman said yesterday.
The city council was unable
to contact the owner to clean up
the property, Ms Ross said she
was told.
City council spokeswomen
Claire Le Grice said the
maintenance responsibilities
for private property sit with the
property owner, unless it poses a
safety risk.
“The council may issue a
notice requiring an occupier to
trim or remove vegetation where
it is likely to become a source
of danger in the event of a fire;
or it causes an obstruction by
encroaching onto footpaths,
cycleways or roads.
The city council placed fire
restrictions on the city on
Saturday.
“Long, dry grass can cause
fires to spread quickly so it
is important at this time of
year that people keep any
grass around their property
trimmed,’’ said Richard Neale,
compliance and investigations
team leader.
Ms Ross said the empty
section was purchased after the
earthquakes.
Nothing has been done to
maintain the site since.
Ms Ross’ hay-fever has
increased since living next to the
overgrown garden.

RABBITS TO STAY
Rabbits living on roundabouts
in the red zone are able to stay. A
New Zealand Transport Agency
spokeswoman said the issue
has ‘gone on the back-burner’
and nothing more will be
happening this year. The rabbits
occupy roundabouts on Anzac
Drive, New Brighton and Travis
Rds. There have been traffic
safety concerns because of the
distractions they were causing
to motorists. There were also
concerns about people crossing
the road with children to get to
the roundabouts. NZTA has said
the rabbits might have to be culled
or captured and released.

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.

The long and winding Aotearoa
By George Lockyer
Driving a car (when are we there) you’re always on the way to
somewhere. On a bike, you’re already there in the landscape, in the
moment. And sometimes there’s literally nowhere else you’d rather
be. In George Lockyer’s new book, The Long and Winding Aotearoa,
we find him riding his Triumph Bonneville around the country, from
Kaitaia to Invercargill, and seeing his often humorous take on life
from under a crash helmet. On the way round our magnificent country
he stops to interview some fascinating characters, all with a story to
tell. We meet not just motorcyclists, but a wide variety of kiwis, from
craftsmen, artists and firefighters, to rugby coaches, quakers and
architects.

Sculpture turns back to dust
• By Sophie Cornish
A SELF-destructing sculpture
represents the “fragility” of the
eastern suburbs, according to its
creator.
New Brighton-based artist
Melissa Macleod’s Salt of the
Earth sculpture is made almost
entirely of sand and has slowly
collapsed.
Located in the red zone on
the corner of Linwood Ave and
Woodham Rd, the temporary
sculpture attempts to link east
Christchurch to the central city.
“I am interested in giving the
east more of a voice. I like to
do that by using materials that
make you think of the east side
of town. Sand is an obvious one,”
said Macleod.
It is a continuation of her other
art works which engage the
city’s coastal communities and
the environmental and social
challenges they face.
In the past, Macleod has used
sea water to create pieces and
could possibly use coastal yellow
daisies in future projects.
The giant sand wedge
mimicked a door stop when it
was first built.
“It’s a strong shape. The
wedge is used a lot in sculptural
practice. It’s quite significant in
that it does prise things open,
ARTISTIC: Melissa Macleod with her crumbling sand sculpture
which she says reflects the “fragility of the east”.
and also as a door jam, it holds
things open. I quite like its
symbolism.”
“The crucial point for me
is that it is strong but it also
dissolves, softens and weakens
and that is essentially cutting to
what the core of life is out this
way (in the east).”
Macleod was aware of
the sculpture’s potential
disintegration but “hoped that it
would speak to the strength and
fragility of a community that is
both determined and trodden
under foot”.
“The ultimate aim was that it
might stand as a strong looking
form for maybe a day, but it
is sand and I asked it to do an
incredible thing by being that
big, but I think the hot days we
had could’ve affected it. The
ground is very solid and there is
a lot of vibration in the ground
from passing trucks.”
She hopes the crumbling
sculpture will challenge public
perception.
“It’s a real test of what public
sculpture can be or what the
public will cope with to some
degree. It’s sort of like placing a
broken thing in a public place
and that might challenge some
people. They might not see it as
part of the work – they might see
it as a problem.”
•From page 1
“They didn’t have to be, we
were already going through
enough,” “It’s time to sit down
and have a conversation. It’s
kind of along the lines of ‘you
owe us’,” Cr Livingstone said.
Recently, a facility needs
assessment was
carried out by an
independent social
researcher for the
community board
to identify gaps
within communities
following the
earthquakes.
It found a lack
of community
meeting points in
the east, especially
in Dallington, Avondale and
Burwood.
The former Burwood School
site has been suggested as a site
for a meeting facility.

As a result of a lack of

residents were feeling an
increase in loneliness.
“Informants talked about
older residents who now do not
go anywhere and are very
socially isolated,” said the
report.
Dallington Residents’
Association chairman
Mark Beanland agreed.
“There’s always been
apathy and there’s always
been the feeling that
we’ve been forgotten,” Mr
Beanland said.
Cr Livingstone hopes
the meeting with MOE
will help this issue.
“We lost the roots, home,
place and belonging . . . they
were taken away not only by the
earthquakes but by decisions
made by Government,” he said.

the Linwood College
community. Kia ora
koutou. Talofa lava.
Kia orana. Malo e
lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa
atu. Namaste.
Kumusta.
Linwood College
enjoys celebrating
student success in all its forms so our
congratulations to the prizewinners
highlighted on this page. I would like to also
congratulate all Junior students who were
awarded prizes at the 2017 Junior Prize Giving
ceremony held on 11th December.
Our community views education as
the wellbeing of the whole person. All
developmentally positive experiences enrich
our students’ understanding of whom they
are and broaden their outlook. They nurture
students’ classroom focus by contextualising
their learning and sowing the seeds of positive
ambition.
Linwood College believes in a “pathwayed
Other Major Award Winners
curriculum”. This means the school, students
and families knowing:
1. Students’ learning and skills as they come
into LC from our partner primary schools
and building on these successes
2. How the learning at LC connects to what
the students want to do when they leave
school. “What are my post-school pathways
and how does my LC help me achieve these
pathways?”
In this way learning is meaningful to the
individual and strengths-based. At Linwood
the individual matters.
Finally, the Education Review Office reviewed
Linwood College in the second half of term 3.
The confirmed report is now public and I am
delighted to say that the school is back on the
three year return cycle. It is a testament to
everyone’s collective vision and positive work
for our school: BOT, staff, students, whanau,
partner schools and community.
Nga mihi nui and best wishes for the festive
season and summer holiday.

Year 10s get Enterprising
Last week ninety Year 10 students worked
hard for three days in the school gym to create
business ideas. Two presenters from the Young
Enterprise Trust came to the school to lead the
students through the process of creating and
developing businesses. On Wednesday, the
students were put into groups of between five and
ten students and given the challenge of creating
a new business based on modern technology. By
Friday, the students were ready to present their
ideas and associated business plans to judges
from the local business community.
Here Sina Sila and her team mates are presenting
their idea ‘Zoinks’ - an app that stops you from making
unnecessary purchases to Gyaney from BP.
2017 Senior Prizegiving Awards
Early in Term 3, the school’s senior
students, teachers and families
gathered in the school hall to celebrate
the year’s successes. Prize winners
were entertained by the highly talented

Weight of gym phobia lifted
ADVERSITY: Libby Searle
started her own home gym
and fitness business and was
named small group trainer of
the year at the New Zealand
Exercise Industry Awards.
• By Sophie Cornish
LIBBY SEARLE used to fear
exercise and the gym as she
struggled to overcome obesity,
anorexia and binge eating.
But now the fit and trim
business owner runs her own
home gym to help women build
confidence and get over the fears
she once had.
The competitive bench-presser
has just won a national exercise
award for small group trainer of
the year.
The 26-year-old Avondale
resident runs Libby Searle
Fitness on Breezes Rd and
is “changing women’s lives
through weight training”.
“I always thought that the
gym was for fit people, so
when that changed in my life,
I wanted to help other women
realise they could do that too. I
wanted them to make that first
step into the gym and that’s
where my group classes, ladies
lifting, was born.”
The personal trainer opened
her home gym in 2016 and now
runs 13 ‘ladies’ lifting’ classes
and four high-intensity circuit
classes every week.
“I love working from home
and having my own studio. I
think the girls like having that
privacy as well. We’ve got our
own wee community going on,”
said Miss Searle.
Her journey to health
started in 2011 when a flatmate
suggested they run a half
marathon.
“At the age of 19, I was
heading towards obesity, had
lost all confidence, was getting
sick all the time, and couldn’t
even walk to the end of the
street without getting puffed.”
“We ran a lamp post, walked

a lamp post and we actually did
it . . . and that was the turning
point for me,” she said.
Miss Searle started going to
a gym following a hip injury
which prevented her from running.
She was thrilled to receive the
award. “I was so surprised that
I had won. I was really stoked
actually, it was quite cool.”
She hopes to own her own
commercial, boutique-style gym
in the future.

A SUPPORTIVE play group
focused on children’s social
development will be trialled in
Aranui early next year.
Te Whare Whanua, The Family
House will aim to give children
aged eight and under social opportunities
to support their health
and well-being.
City East Charitable Trust
received about $1700 from the
Coastal-Burwood Community

The Family House will have a
lounge-like feel and provide play
options for children such as board
games, Lego, woodwork, music

Users to take over community
centre bookings from council
• By Sophie Cornish
A NEW community facilities booking
service may help maximise the use of free
spaces for groups in the city’s east.
Local community groups have expressed
an interest in managing the bookings
done through the city council’s call
centre.
A community facility report for the
Coastal-Burwood Community Board
completed by an independent researcher
found the booking system was not as effective
as it could be.
“Concerns were raised that bookings
for the community centres are taken and
managed by the city council call centre,
and anyone can book the facility for
any duration providing it is available.
In practice, this means that for large
chunks of time on a recurring basis, the
facility is booked out by the same groups,

preventing access by other groups or local
residents,” said researcher Sarah Wylie.
She interviewed about 27 key stakeholders
from suburbs in both wards.
The co-ordinated approach will make
it easier to match the multiple facilities to
users’ needs.
Residents from Aranui, North New
Brighton, South Brighton, Queenspark
and Parklands identified the change
would be positive.
The city council plans to conduct a trial
with the Aranui Community Trust for the
Aranui/Wainoni Community Centre.
If successful, the Aranui Community
Trust will also manage the bookings for St
Ambrose church.
The Bridge South Brighton Trust has
also identified an interest in taking over
bookings for the South Brighton Community
Centre and South Brighton Surf Life

Pupils tested at police college
SCHOOLS
• By Sophie Cornish
FOUR MARSHLAND School
pupils are on their way to being
as fit as a police officer.
The year 7 and 8 pupils gained
the quickest time for intermediate
students in the physical
competency test at the Royal New
Zealand Police College in Wellington.
The annual event is run by Blue
Light New Zealand with teams
of intermediate-aged pupils participating
in mental and physical
challenges.
The Marshland team finished
third overall out of 20 teams in
the two-day national competition.
Marshland was one of two
Christchurch schools selected
from a city-wide competition run
by Blue Light Canterbury to get
an all-expenses paid trip to Wellington.
St Patrick’s School, Bryndwr,
was the other selected and the
two teams trained and travelled
together.
Marshland teacher Paul Tyson
said the pupils are “really motivated
kids.”
“They came back buzzing . . .
they were really wrapped to get
the fastest time. Even though they
came third overall, they were still
really pleased with that result,”
said Mr Tyson.
One of the four pupils has
already showed interest in joining
the police force.
FITNESS FANATICS: Tia Wynyard, Pai Wynyard, Mia McNaughton-Vincent and Niah Williams

Avonside old girl at emerging
leaders meeting in Thailand
MAKING FRIENDS: Courtney Cray with some Thai children on
a visit outside of Bangkok.
A FORMER Avonside Girls’
High student is making her mark
internationally, taking part in the
University Scholars Leadership
Symposium in Thailand.
Courtney Cray was one of
more than 900 students from
about 60 countries at the eighth
symposium aimed at emerging
leaders.
The Parklands resident who is
studying towards a Bachelor of
Social Work degree is passionate
about supporting families
facing challenges and hopes her
experience at the symposium
will help.
“Within New Zealand, and
globally, even beginning to
comprehend the magnitude of
the social injustices taking place
can be overwhelming,” she said.
Mrs Cray said a highlight of
the symposium was visiting a
village outside Bangkok where
people are working to be fully
self-sufficient.
“During our time, we met
with locals, and learnt firsthand
about the Thai farmers’
lifestyle and how they worked
collaboratively to be selfsufficient.
The experience left me
with a greater appreciation of
the hard work that goes into
producing rice and admiration
for the grassroots initiatives the
community have in place.”
The 27-year-old juggles study
with part-time work and looking
after her two-year-old daughter.
Mrs Cray said it was a
remarkable experience .
“I look back to the beginning
of the year and never saw myself
doing this,” she said.
“It was truly an amazing
opportunity getting to meet
with such a diverse group of
people and learn how they
were pursuing change in their
communities. I came away
feeling challenged and inspired.”

PEGASUS POST
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.

Georgiana Vaughan-Walker (right) Y12
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.
Recently, three Marian students received

Marian College Principal Mary-Lou
Davidson says as well as reflecting the
opportunities students have in a wide
range of areas of the school, awards are a
reflection of hard work and dedication.
“Congratulations to all the students
who have been acknowledged,” Mrs
Davidson says.

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
Maniapoto) says she has learnt a lot.

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.

MAINTENANCE: Donnell Park’s playground is in good condition, however the
tennis court, basketball court, paths, drinking fountain and toilet block need
repairs.

Call to address maintenance
issues at Donnell Park
• By Sophie Cornish
“A LOT of maintenance”
is needed in Burwood’s
Donnell Park before
it is considered a fully
functioning community
park again.
Coastal-Burwood
Ward city councillor
David East (right) said
with the east Burwood
community growing,
the park upkeep needs
to be addressed.
“Already when you drive
down Travis Rd now you
can see a number of new
houses being built and
there will be a need for a
community park.”
City council head of
parks Brent Smith said the
playground is in good condition
but the tennis court,
basketball court,
paths, drinking
fountain and toilet
block need repair
or renewal work.
“Staff will be
scoping out the
repairs over the
coming weeks, identifying
budget requirements and
checking on the status of
the infrastructure servicing
the area. This includes
reinstating a linkage path
across to Kingsbridge
Drive from the playground,”
said Mr Smith.
Reinstating the sports
field is not likely due to its
low lying nature following
the earthquakes.
In the meantime, the
mowing around the
playground and the
garden maintenance will
be brought back up to the
required standard.
“It has potential, the
infrastructure is all there,
it just needs bit of TLC to
bring it back to scratch,”
said Cr East.

Fire warning as summer
starts heating up early
• 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 malicious firestarters,
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.

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.

many have found it beneficial, although even
better & quicker results are often obtained
with extra exercise & an improved diet.

fat from being made & stored in the body,
increase lean muscle mass, increase
serotonin levels in the brain that
help control mood & sleep
(great for emotional eaters),

Oil was relatively

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,

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
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.
Place a meringue on each plate
with a pile of cream next to it,

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

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
