New $15m school 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

HALSWELL WILL be getting a 

new $15 million primary school 

to address the rapidly growing 

population. 

The Ministry of Education 

has confirmed the land on 

Tongariro St will be the new location 

for the school in western 

Halswell and it is expected to 

open in 2020. 

This is scheduled to be 

two years earlier than what 

was planned in the MoE’s 

Christchurch Schools Rebuild 

programme. 

It is not yet known what year 

range it would have but there is 

some support for it to cater for 

years 7 and 8. 

Over the past few weeks the 

MoE has been holding workshops 

to gather opinions from 

the community to determine 

what year group the school will 

cater for and what facilities it 

will need. 

Halswell Community Project 

spokeswoman Chrys Horn, who 

attended one of the meetings 

said the consensus was there 

needs to be a full-scale year 1-8 

school. 

Consultations have been held 

at Halswell School, Aidanfield 

Christian School, Hillmorton 

School and Rowley Avenue 

School and were facilitated by 

Dr Gabrielle Wall. 

Hillmorton High School 

principal Ann Brokenshire said 

if schools are full then 

new primary schools are 

needed. 

She said she had various views 

on the year group structure of 

the school due to Hillmorton 

High School and Hornby High 

School catering for the area’s 

intermediate pupils. 

As for a high school in 

Halswell Ms Brokenshire said 

there is more than enough 

capacity in the existing high 

school network. 

The final public workshop will 

be held at Oaklands School on 

September 6, 7-8pm. 

Dr Wall will collate the 

ideas generated into an online 

survey which will be live from 

September 12-30 on the MoE 

website.

EDITOR’S 

DESK News.....................3, 6, 7 & 11 

ON THE front page today, we 

look at what area is getting a new 

$15 million school, with decisions 

still to be made on whether it will 

have primary only, or include 

intermediate-aged pupils as well. 

Fair to say there has been a 

lot of confusion and concern 

surrounding what is happening at 

The Princess Margaret Hospital. 

On page 3, we cover the meeting 

where Canterbury District Health 

Board boss David Meates fronted 

up to a community meeting to 

discuss which services will be 

staying for up to two years. 

We say farewell to Cashmere 

School matriarch Lady Christina 

McCombs on page 7. She died on 

August 13 just short of her 100th 

birthday and was fondly remembered 

at her funeral for her work 

with Cashmere High School and 

her contributions to the community 

at large.

PMH to keep mental health services 

• Caitlin Miles and Tania Green 

MENTAL HEALTH services will 

remain at The Princess Margaret 

Hospital for the next two years while 

decisions on the future use of the 

hospital and the site are decided. 

But the Canterbury District Health 

Board will shift them out if they find 

a suitable location earlier. 

There has been confusion around 

what was remaining, and what was 

going at the hospital, within the 

community, but last week Canterbury 

District Health Board boss 

David Meates attended a residents 

meeting to “set the record straight”. 

He told the residents at the Tuesday 

meeting last week that mothers 

and babies unit, older persons’ 

community teams, child and youth 

mental health inpatient services, 

the eating disorders service, adult 

long-term mental health will remain 

on site for at least two years or until a 

new location is found. 

Older people services shifted to 

the newly-opened Burwood Hospital 

in April. This led to residents being 

concerned that other services would 

leave the area. 

Meanwhile, a petition which asked 

for a community health hub to be 

installed on site, has reached 1500 

signatures. But Mr Meates said the 

petition had muddied the waters of 

what was possible on site. 

“This has created a number of 

unrealistic expectations and a lot 

of confusion with regard to how we 

plan and fund health services for the 

entire Canterbury population,” Mr 

Meates said. 

Lower Cashmere resident Sue Bye 

said she thinks it cleared up confusion 

for some residents. 

DECISION: The Canterbury District Health Board 

held a meeting last week which was attended by 

200 people. 

In Brief 

DOG NUMBERS 

Spreydon has the second most 

dogs in the city with 1114, 

according to statistics released 

from the city council. Woolston 

had the seventh most in the city 

with 841 and Linwood has 720 

dogs. There are a total of 6310 in 

the Southern View newspaper 

area. This equates to 19.6 per cent 

of the city’s total number of dogs. 

There is a total of 38,159 dogs in 

the city. 

LITTER FINES 

Dropping rubbish will come 

with a bigger penalty from now 

on. The city council has set up a 

new range of fines for different 

amounts of rubbish. People 

caught dropping less than onelitre 

of rubbish, which includes 

cigarette butts and cans, could 

face a $100 fine. Litter of more 

than 120-litres and hazardous 

waste will face the highest fine of 

$400. 

LINWOOD COLLEGE FIRE 

Firefighters were called to put out 

a fire in a coal bunker at Linwood 

College on Saturday at about 

7.15pm. A Fire Service spokesman 

said the fire was “nothing too 

major.” Firefighters wearing 

breathing apparatus put it out 

before leaving things in the hands 

of the caretaker.

written by John Verd 

about fluoridated 

water. They write 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

MY LOVELY LOLA 

I write about my patients 

monthly and now I find myself 

writing about my precious girl 

“LOLA”. My eldest son Connor 

left for the USA a few weeks ago 

to study and play tennis for UC 

Berkeley in San Francisco. Steve 

travelled with Connor to help him 

organize his first week at college 

and while he was away, our 

beautiful black lab presented one 

morning weak and wobbley in her 

hindlegs, unable to walk properly 

and support herself. She was 

acutely painful which was hard for 

me see and knuckling over on her 

paws. She was still ravenous though 

and was not incontinent. The day 

before she had gone running with 

Dylan and appeared normal. She has never 

obviously shown any sign of neurological 

disease before. 

I panicked. Lola is my dog and we are so closely 

intertwined. We read each others minds and 

we are together 24/7. We are best friends. 

When she gets sick ( especially when she had 

kidney cancer last year), Steve takes over as 

her vet, I’m just her mum. I feel useless making 

veterinary decisions for her but with Steve 

away, I had to step up, for her sake. 

I’m very 

fortunate with 

the incredible 

nurses and vets 

we have working 

with us. Lola is 

very loved and 

the team swung 

into action. As 

soon as I entered 

the practice, 

everyone 

could see the 

predicament 

Lola was in. 

She was placed on a fentanyl CRI for pain, 

her entire spine was radiographed and she 

had many tubes of blood taken to test for 

toxoplasmosis, infectious disease and check her 

organ function. A special bed was organized 

for her in the treatment area as strict rest was 

crucial. Catherine made a special trip in on her 

day off to assess Lola neurologically. Suzanne 

performed acupuncture and laser treatment. 

She accepts everything we do to her. She fully 

understands our job and that we are only 

trying to help. She is the perfect patient. 

Once all the test results were in, taking 

into account the neurological exam and 

radiographs taken, we came to the conclusion 

that she had either prolapsed a disc between 

T3-L3 or had a FCE ( fibrocartilaginous 

embolism). FCE causes 

ischaemic myelopathy which 

is poor blood supply to the 

spinal cord. Like any part 

of the body, the spinal cord 

relies on a permanent supply 

of blood to bring nutrients 

and remove waste products. 

Arteries supply segments of 

the cord on each side. FCE 

occurs acutely, often with 

no pain. Often one limb is 

more affected. Usually these 

patients make a full recovery 

with the help of strict rest and 

anti-inflammatory medication. 

Other possible causes included 

a fracture or dislocation of 

human radiologists. 

the spinal vertebrae, 

discospondylitis or 

inflammatory diseases 

like toxoplasmosis. 

Due to her recent bout 

of cancer, resulting in the 

loss of a kidney, I was a 

little worried the cancer 

may have spread to 

her spinal cord. I have 

organized an MRI at St 

George’s hospital, so 

we know what we are 

dealing with. I go with 

her to sedate her and 

monitor her. The MRI 

takes about 30 minutes 

and is interpreted by 

I also have friends in “high places”, and I 

consulted with a specialist surgeon in Auckland 

who I’ve trusted with all my pets in the past. 

Depending on the results from her MRI she 

may need spinal surgery if she doesn’t make a 

full recovery. Im really hoping this isn’t the case 

but if so then she will fly to Auckland ands be 

surgically assessed. 

The biggest problem I have has been trying 

to confine her and stop her tail continually 

wagging and her whole back end 

wiggling. She’s on a concoction of 

medications I give her 3 times daily 

covering all my bases and then she’s 

assisted when going to the toilet. Bed rest 

is the number 1 priority. She is sleeping 

with me, coming to work to rest and I am 

slowly walking her on a lead to toilet. She 

can’t understand why I am being so clingy 

and why I’m popping so many pills into 

her. She is on double antibiotic therapy, 

tramadol for pain and two different antiinflammatories. 

I’m praying this sorts itself 

out with time, patience, rest and love!! She 

certainly got it right choosing a vet as her 

mum……she’s slightly high maintenance 

medically!! But I wouldn’t have her any other 

way. 

As of writing this she is definitely on the 

improve trying to leap into my car. She is 

walking way better, but still a little ataxic and 

weak in her hindlegs. She has no pain and 

seems happy. Thanks to everyone on Facebook 

who has sent special wishes Lola’s way. We 

so appreciate this and they have helped! 

She is such a special, loved team member of 

McMaster & Heap Vets. 

Dr Michele

As with climate change, 

we have had a plethora of 

attacks on the scientific 

consensus from people 

without personal expertise 

regurgitating second-hand 

assertions and unverified 

theories. In such cases, 

it is essential to consider 

that when peer-reviewed 

scientific information 

is accepted by the vast 

majority of those qualified 

to judge it, it is exceedingly 

likely that this will be correct. 

Sensible decisions on 

health, political or other 

issues require informed 

debate. Emotive arguments 

and misinformation, from 

whatever motivation, 

make it much harder to 

reach sensible agreement 

and effective action in the 

common good. The news 

media have a great responsibility 

in their presentation 

of information. It is 

probably impractical to 

print a suitable response 

from the relevant authorities 

each time the papers’ 

publish an opinion against 

fluoridation, but if you 

want to promote real public 

understanding rather 

than just stir controversy, 

I would suggest adding a 

clear note after such items 

pointing out that information 

is available on the 

website www.fluoridefacts.govt.nz/ 

and that this 

is supported by the Ministry 

of Health, NZ Dental 

Association, NZ Medical 

Association, the Public 

Health Association and the 

NZ Nurses among others. 

This would enable readers 

to check detailed information 

and then judge 

the credibility of those 

involved. I am sorry your 

correspondent, having 

come to New Zealand, is 

kept up at night worrying 

about being fluoridated, 

but I would suggest to him 

that, in this country, our 

medical authorities are not 

only highly responsible 

Start your day

but also highly competent. 

They are unlikely to be 

colluding to poison him 

or reduce his IQ. I hope he 

may now be able to relax.

Sodium fluoride has H4

the cost is for this waste

cheaper, safer and more 

effective to supply calcium 

fluoride tablets to all families 

with young children 

to help with the problem 

of tooth decay. If they are 

concerned about calcium 

fluoride, it can be found in 

most aquifers in New Zealand 

and, with good oral

Firefighters on the move 

• By Andrew King 

ADDINGTON firefighters have 

moved into two temporary bases 

while their new station is being 

rebuilt. 

They will be based out of The 

Princess Margaret Hospital during 

the day. At night, they will 

share the Sockburn Fire Station. 

But assistant area commander 

Mike John said even though they 

will be operating out of two different 

locations, it will not affect 

their ability to do their job. 

“There will be no drop in service. 

In fact, some areas will get 

an extra appliance,” he said. 

The damaged fire station, on 

Simeon St, was built in 1974 and 

is the youngest in the city. Now it 

will be demolished to make way 

for a state-of-the-art facility to 

service the needs of those in and 

around Addington. 

It is the first of six stations 

around the city to be rebuilt as 

part of the New Zealand Fire 

Service’s rebuild programme. 

Firefighter Tony Price is a long 

serving veteran of the station. 

Over time, he has seen his entire 

crew, the fire truck and now 

the station either changed or 

replaced. 

“(The station) is a second 

home. All the firemen seem to 

think that we are here for nights 

and days; it’s a second family,” 

he said. 

Senior station officer Gerald 

Wilson said a number of pranks 

had been pulled over the years. 

He remembers firefighters 

wiring up a chair to a “crank-up 

machine”, which would generate 

an electrical current, shocking 

the victim while he ate dinner or 

tried to relax. 

The new station is expected to 

take between 12 to 18 months 

to complete, and will double 

the current size. There will be a 

two bay garages to house other 

equipment, such as four-wheel 

drives and other appliances.

New tunnel 

rules for 

truckers 

• By Annabelle Dick 

TRUCK DRIVERS travelling 

through Lyttelton Tunnel will 

need to cover loose loads from 

tomorrow when a new bylaw 

comes into place. 

The New Zealand Transport 

Agency bylaw was created in an 

effort to reduce the amount of 

material polluting the tunnel. 

It comes as the amount of 

dirt has increased significantly 

following the earthquakes. 

Up to 8000kg of dirt and 

dust is cleaned out of the tunnel 

every month, compared to 

235kg a month before 2011. 

“Cleaning the tunnel has 

gone from once a month to 

three times a week,” said NZTA 

maintenance contract manager 

Barry Stratton. 

While commercial vehicles 

are covered by the new bylaw, it 

does not apply to residents. 

Trucks carrying fertiliser; 

construction or demolition material; 

waste; soil; sand; stock 

feed; and other products which 

can be blown around, are covered 

by the new bylaw. 

Scrap metal and logs, which 

are harder to effectively cover, 

are excluded.

Owning a husky requires dedication

• By Scott Bamford 

THIS WINTER, at least one 

husky a week is arriving at the 

West Melton branch of Husky 

Rescue NZ, the company 

re-homing abandoned or 

unwanted huskies. 

This season is shaping up to 

be the worst in the company’s 

seven-year history. 

Although many of the 

unwanted dogs come from 

Auckland, Husky Rescue NZ has 

experienced an influx of huskies 

from Christchurch. 

“We do always have dogs from 

Christchurch … it’s pretty much 

one dog a week from Canterbury. 

It’s the worst winter we’ve ever 

had,” Husky Rescue NZ founder 

Michelle Attwood said. 

The siberian husky is known to 

be a hands-on breed. 

Ms Attwood said a minimum 

exercise routine of 5km a day is

scooter journey. 

needed to keep them healthy. 

“In summer, that means [running 

or walking] very late at 

night, or early in the morning, 

to avoid those 20 deg C temperatures.” 

Huskies also require seasonally 

intense fur maintenance, a 

lot of entertainment and a firm 

understanding of who sets the 

rules, she said. 

“If the owner fails to establish 

their position as leader, the 

husky, with its strong pack 

mentality, will become the pack 

leader instead and be almost 

impossible to control,” Ms Attwood 

said. 

Many people will purchase a 

husky before understanding the 

dog’s needs and then give up 

when the job becomes too hard, 

she said. 

“[Owners] say: ‘Oh well, it 

jumped a six-foot fence, it ate 

the neighbour’s cat and it won’t 

come back when it’s called’ … 

Those are all just standard husky 

traits.” 

Ms Attwood reported reoccurring 

problems from irresponsible 

breeders. 

“We’ve had over 12 dogs from 

just one backyard breeder … 

time and time again we are seeing 

the same problem dogs from 

the same problem breeders,” she 

said. 

The rescue centre caters to 

huskies through a combination 

of pack-like living arrangements 

and dry-land scootering and 

sledding. 

“They do really well at the

sport and they love it, getting 

them to stop running is the 

hardest part,” Ms Attwood said. 

Husky owner Christos Merentitis 

adopted his pet Max about 

three years ago. Strict training 

and constant exercise is what 

helped Max become a beloved 

member of the family. 

“I got Max when he was 

10-months-old. A lot of trainers 

said that was too late to correct 

bad habits, but you’ve just got 

to keep on top of it and actually 

want to see a change in your dog 

. . . take them for a huge run, and 

then do 10 minutes of training 

– when they are too tired to be 

cheeky or disagree with you,” he 

said.

Woman’s community passion remembered 

• By Annabelle Dick 

LADY CHRISTINA McCombs 

has passed away just short of her 

100th birthday. 

With strong ties to Cashmere 

High School, Lady McCombs 

was a well-known figure for her 

contributions to education and 

the community. 

Lady McCombs died on 

August 13, more than a 100 

people turned out to her farewell 

on August 20. 

She was married to former Lyttelton 

MP Sir Terence McCombs 

who was the first principal of 

Cashmere High School. 

When her husband took up 

a position at the then brandnew 

school in 1956, she helped 

establish it, said her son Peter 

McCombs. 

“Together they shaped Cashmere 

and in turn Cashmere 

shaped them both. There was 

considerable pride and satisfaction 

in doing what he loved and 

with Christina alongside him 

in every step of the way – from 

helping with the original colours 

and the uniform, through to 

helping dig the original swimming 

pool,” said Mr McCombs. 

Lady McCombs hailed from 

the Shetland Islands, in Scotland, 

and was the only child of Gilbert 

and Margaret Tulloch. 

She attended Christchurch 

Girls’ High School before she 

trained in home science and 

taught at the then Christchurch 

Technical College. 

Another moment Mr Mc- 

Combs recalls is when his mother 

went to the United Kingdom 

in 1974 to support her husband 

LONG LEGACY: 

From the early days 

of spending time 

with her favourite 

house cow Peggy 

to standing on the 

New Zealand High 

Commission balcony 

in London, Lady 

McCombs led a long 

and interesting life. 

as the appointed New Zealand 

High Commissioner in London. 

The Queen, the Duke of 

Edinburgh and other dignitaries 

came to New Zealand House in 

London to attend an official dinner 

which featured whitebait. 

“She found herself in the 

position of having to roll up her 

sleeves and help with cooking 

and serving of the fresh whitebait. 

The hired professional chefs 

found themselves completely 

mystified when 5kg of fresh 

whitebait arrived having just 

been flown in from New Zealand,” 

he said. 

“She also gave cooking lessons 

on the radio. She was a competent 

seamstress and a very good 

knitter. Her jerseys and scarves 

were very impressive, perhaps 

again reflecting the heritage that 

her parents had brought from the 

Shetland Islands,” Mr McCombs 

said. 

Lady McCombs grew up on 

Panorama Rd on the top of 

Clifton Hill which is where she 

spent most of her life. 

In 1955, she married Sir 

Terence McCombs and took 

in his four children Elizabeth, 

David, Peter and Patrick and 

gave birth to their youngest child 

John. 

“She was very caring and 

interested on all sorts of levels 

about the community and the 

organisations in it. It was a 

strong passion of hers,” said Mr 

McCombs. 

Lady McCombs was involved 

with Cashmere High School, 

Sumner School, joined in and 

supported many local groups 

and served on committees. 

She was also a patron with 

Plunket and worked with 

mothers through branches in 

Redcliffs, Heathcote, Ferrymead 

and Woolston. 

In the final years of her life she 

moved into an apartment within 

the Ilam Life Care facility in Riccarton.

LEADERS: Senior pupils Molly Perkins and Simran Bath escort 

the younger children to their classroom. 

Safer road patrols 

CHILDREN AT Halswell 

School are becoming road safety 

ambassadors. 

The school is taking part in 

a pilot programme designed to 

make children safer getting to 

and from school. 

The city council is behind the 

school road safety leaders programme, 

which was launched 

this year. 

Pupils Simran Bath and Molly 

Perkins, both 13, are road safety 

leaders and, as part of their role, 

they have come up with a new 

system where they and other 

senior pupils act as buddies and 

escort younger children to their 

classrooms from a drop-off zone. 

This means parents can safely 

drop their children in the zone 

in front of the school office and 

keep driving to clear the area. 

Molly said being a leader has 

made her think more about ways 

to improve road safety around 

the school. 

Community travel advisor Joy 

Kingsbury said the idea is modelled 

off a similar programme in 

the United Kingdom. 

She wants the children to get 

creative while they promote the 

new scheme. 

“They might make a road 

safety video and put it on the 

school website, or hold a special 

assembly, she said. 

“It’s to give them a bit more 

mana and make them realise 

how important their school 

patrol role is. Without them, the 

kids couldn’t get across the road 

safely.” 

Rolleston School is taking a 

different approach. Their Kiss 

and Go campaign was set up 

so parents can give their kids 

a quick kiss goodbye in the 

morning. 

BIG BREAKFAST: Opawa School 

also hosted the annual home 

and school big breakfast last 

week. Melane, Shevaun and 

Simone prepared a bacon 

sandwich for Lincoln, while Ella 

Lapslie (below) and her mum, 

Sarah, enjoyed eating their 

bacon sandwich. 

RACES: Opawa 

School’s student 

council organised 

some Olympic-themed 

activities for the pupils. 

Flinn Platt, Cesar Moga 

and Noah Smith all 

competed in a hurdles 

event. Other activities 

included balloon 

badminton, target 

practice and sock 

wrestling. 

FAMILY TIME: Nate and Seb Lane sat with their mum, Jos, to 

enjoy breakfast. 

MORNING WAKE UP: 

Ella and James McLeod 

had breakfast at school 

with their mum, Leana.

Shelley is the principal scientist at EOS 

Ecology and project lead for Whaka Inaka. In 

the largest initiative of its kind, Whaka Inaka 

installed 204 bales as spawning habitat for 

inaka/inanga along 3 km of riverbank in the 

Heathcote/Opawho, Steamwharf Stream, 

and Lake Kate Sheppard in January 2016. 

With the involvement of local community, iwi 

and schools they monitored the bales during 

the spawning season to count the eggs and 

check on pest activity. The programme was 

a success with the bales supporting eggs 

in areas where spawning was otherwise 

not occurring, and the community learning 

about their natural environment in their 

back yard. 

Whaka Inaka is a collaboration between 

EOS Ecology, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, and

Singing nuns perform 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A DRAMA group which has 

been running for about 52 years 

will perform the internationally 

renowned show, Nunsense The 

Mega Musical. 

The production will feature 

performers from Halswell, 

Rolleston, Cashmere, Tai Tapu 

and Lincoln. 

It will be staged from this 

Friday by the Halswell Drama 

Group. The show will be their 

first ever off-Broadway musical. 

“Part-time nun” Tim Gunther 

said the show will be bigger and 

better than any other show the 

drama group has performed. 

“We went to some businesses 

in Halswell and asked for some 

financial assistance to help afford 

the script because it was about 10 

times more expensive than the 

script we usually try,” he said. 

Nunsense The Mega Musical 

tells the story of ‘the little sisters 

of Hoboken’ who have recently 

suffered the tragic loss of most of 

their convent after an accidental 

food poisoning by their cook 

Sister Julia. 

Gunther will play the role of 

Sister Julia who is based on the 

American chef Julia Child. 

“It is a bit unusual . . . it is my 

first time playing a woman on 

stage so I am pretty excited about 

that,” he said. 

This year the group has partnered 

with restaurant and bar 

The Old Vicarage as part of a 

pre-show dinner. 

Gunther said the show has 

been done many times around 

the world and is the next step 

down from shows like Cats and 

Chess. 

Nunsense The Mega Musical 

will run from Friday, September 

2 to Saturday, September 10, at 

the Halswell Community Centre.

Opportunity shop opened by St John 

THE CITY’S first St John 

opportunity shop opened in 

Addington on Saturday. 

Money raised in the shop, 

at 272 Lincoln Rd, will 

support ambulance and 

other St John services in 

Christchurch. 

St John Christchurch chairman 

Graham Gillespie said 

the shop would be a key part of 

St John’s presence in the city, 

alongside other community 

activities such as ambulance 

services, the St John Youth 

programme, and community 

care programmes. 

Volunteers had been recruited 

to run the shop under 

the guidance of manager Pete 

Black. 

“We received an amazing 

response to our request for volunteers 

and have a dedicated 

team of local people on board,” 

Mr Gillespie said. 

“St John opportunity shops 

are another way for local people 

to support St John and for 

our organisation to continue 

our work in local communities.” 

St John has operated other 

opportunity shops around 

the country for a number of 

years. 

BIG DAY: The opening of 

a new St John opportunity 

shop in Addington was 

attended by (from left) 

shop manager Pete 

Black, city councillor Tim 

Scandrett and St John

Graham Gillespie, among 

others.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Experts restore that 

“winning smile” 

Meeting people for the first 

time, interacting with others on social 

occasions, going for a job interview – in 

all these situations your smile is the most 

important part of you. 

or perhaps, on a lighter note, you 

might be scaring yourself with your ‘selfie’ 

because your smile is not as attractive as it 

should be, due to missing or broken teeth. 

perhaps it’s time for a visit to Denture 

South in Barrington, where the experts 

can give you that winning smile back. 

Clinical technician Andrew Johnson 

and his team of clinical and lab 

technicians are fully focused on providing 

customised service at their Barrington 

clinic, and will take all the time needed 

to fulfill your partial or full denture 

requirements whether you want an even, 

bright smile or a more natural-looking 

one. 

For people who have had dentures for a 

while and are finding they frequently need 

to buy denture adhesive to keep them in 

place, Andrew advises having the dentures 

relined so they will fit better. As he points 

out, the money spent on denture adhesive 

over 12 months would easily cover the 

cost of having your dentures refitted. 

Denture South has been providing a full 

range of denture services for the residents 

of Christchurch for over 13 years. These 

services include first-time immediate 

dentures, full replacement dentures, 

partial plates and sports mouth-guards. 

Many Denture South clients come 

through word-of-mouth referral, an 

indication of the level of satisfaction that’s 

provided there. Friendly, approachable 

and highly skilled, the Denture South 

team enjoys helping people with all their 

denture fitting, ongoing care and denture 

maintenance requirements. 

The friendly Denture South team 

Conveniently located at 

230 Barrington Street, 

Denture South has 

off-street parking.

ADULT LEARNERS’ WEEK 

HE TANGATA MĀTAURANGA 

Ara community study - 

where adult learners are welcome 

At Ara Institute of Canterbury’s six community 

hubs, people can learn at their own pace in a 

friendly, welcoming environment that supports 

people who are returning to study after a long 

break or those who are undertaking study for the 

first time. 

At hubs in New Brighton, Bishopdale, Hornby, 

Rangiora, Christchurch’s Madras Street and now 

also in Timaru, Ara staff support community 

learning needs through a range of programmes. 

Computing for Free is a popular choice for adult 

learners looking for accessible training for basic 

computer skills or to upskill to improve their career 

opportunities. 

Computing for Free offers a range of self-paced, 

short courses of between 20 to 40 hours to introduce 

people to a wide range of specific programmes as 

Web Design and Powerpoint. 

The facilitators who are on-hand to provide 

support are passionate about the courses they teach 

and the communities they teach in, providing 

an excellent experience for students. Timetables 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

are flexible to fit around family and professional 

commitments. 

Having completed Computing for Free herself, 

tutor Jo Harkerss understands the challenges of 

returning to study. 

“For many people it is a huge stepping stone. 

They may have been made redundant or been out 

of the workforce after having children and here 

they can connect with other people and learn new 

skills that will make them more employable and 

give them confidence to try other things too. 

“They might have used computers in the past, 

but programmes change and skills need to be 

updated,” Jo says. 

“The hardest thing is for people to walk in 

the door. Then they realise that we are really 

nice! And that they can do it. You see people 

come in who feel afraid of computers, but we 

are here to help them to achieve. Study is not 

easy for everyone, but our programmes have 

a good balance of theory and practice, plus 

the programmes are self-paced to fit around 

other life commitments such as work and 

family.” 

Computing for Free also caters for adult 

learners who want to upskill for career 

progression, with programmes such as the 

National Certificate in Computing, which is a 

formal qualification that employers recognise 

and value. For students who find a passion for 

computing there are further programmes on offer 

at Ara from certificates to degrees. 

Enrolling is easy – just pop into your local 

branch to discuss your needs with one of our 

friendly facilitators or visit http://www.ara.

nina COOk 

Nina Cook was born in Whakatane 

in 1967. She was educated 

in Wanganui and then at 

Christchurch Polytechnic School 

of Art and Design where she 

received a Bachelor of Design. 

In 2007 Nina established the 

studio from which she currently 

works. Nina’s work is held in 

private collections in New Zealand 

and overseas. 

Frame OF mind 

For this exhibition, I am exploring 

issues of societal bias through a 

personal lens. 

The effect of proselytized overly 

fixed viewpoints on political, 

religious, racial, gender and 

environmental issues is alarming. 

When this alarm is combined with 

the information bias that occurs in 

this curated information age, our 

dual desires to belong and control 

are kicked into overdrive. 

I am not immune to this, but 

am also shocked at the lack of 

empathy or comprehension of 

‘other’ that some people exhibit. 

This body of work is my way of 

trying to understand. 

Though many (including 

myself) try to be independent, 

compassionate, open-minded 

and critical in our thinking, we 

cannot avoid being influenced. 

Not only by our own experience 

and state of mind, but also by 

broader cultural, societal, and 

scientific relevancies. And this is 

always changing. 

Art a fantastic way of exploring 

issues because it combines both 

intellectual and intuitive practices. 

The frame is overt, pedantic. As 

in a museum display, it provides 

a curated context, which is only 

ever part of the story.The content 

captures personal situations and 

impressions – things I have felt, 

seen and imagined. 

Whilst painting, I have been 

deliberately mindful of my thought 

process. I asked myself; What is 

the true impetus for this work? 

What narrative is cycling/growing 

in my mind? 

How is this effecting my choices? 

At what point/s does my ‘frame 

of mind’ become ‘confirmation 

bias’? To what degree is bias 

necessary? When does it become 

a liability? 

I didn’t discover any big answers, 

just personal ones – but every bit 

helps. 

Some clues are reflected in the 

work titles, much more in the 

works themselves as physical 

Nostalgia 

Release 

manifestations of my frame of 

mind. 

Most importantly, I am inviting 

the viewer to reflect upon their 

own frame of mind or state of bias 

whilst investigating mine.

ADULT LEARNERS’ WEEK 2016 HE TANGATA MĀTAURANGA 

Learning Nation focus for 

Adult Learners’ Week 2016 

Adult educators will be on the streets during Adult 

Learners’ Week/He Tangata Mātauranga, September 5-11, 

asking people what they would like to learn and recording 

their responses. The campaign called ‘Learning Nation’ will 

be a focus for this year’s celebration. It acknowledges that 

lifelong learning is vital for a rich, rewarding life and 

worthy of a conversation. 

Adult Learners’ Week/He Tangata Mātauranga, 

celebrates all adult learning whether it’s upskilling for a 

better job, preparing for further study, improving life skills 

or having fun. It is supported by the New Zealand National 

Commission for UNESCO and incorporates International 

Literacy Day on September 8. 

Every year thousands of ACE providers, educators, 

learners and supporters organise a huge range of events to 

highlight the value of adult learning. 

The Government priorities for Adult and Community 

Education (ACE) include literacy, numeracy, English 

language (ESOL), te Reo Māori and sign language. 

Providers all over New Zealand offer learning in these core 

areas and many others. Courses not eligible for funding 

are often run by volunteers. 

In Christchurch many of the organisations providing 

ACE opportunities will be celebrating with their learners 

Connecting Adult and Community Education 

and Learning across Otautahi 

and in their own communities, more information can be 

found on the ACE forum website https://aceforumchch. 

wordpress.com/ 

On Wednesday 7th September in collaboration with Ako 

Aotearoa, PEETO – The Muliti-Cultural learning Centre 

and Risngholme there will be the Annual Adult learners 

awards 2016. This will take place at Riccarton Community 

Church, 80 Rattray St from 7pm. 

On Friday 9th September there will be the Annual Adult 

Learners’ week breakfast where we will be discussing 

further the role of Christchurch as a learning city. 

It will be a week of celebration and consideration of the 

importance of learning to our communities and our city 

and our nation. 

In Christchurch Adult Learners’ Week/He Tangata Mātauranga 

2016 celebrations are organized by the ACE forum Christchurch.

Celebrating 54 years 

on the local music scene 

NEVILLE Wilkins & the Viscounts celebrate 

54 years on the music scene this weekend 

making them one of New Zealand’s longest 

established dance bands. 

Christchurch trumpeter, Neville Wilkins 

formed the band in 1962 and during its career 

The Viscounts has had around 60 members, 

with some staying as long as 20 years. 

Their first residencies included 

Christchurch’s 500 Club in Chancery Lane and 

The Town & About in Peterborough St, 

followed later by the Bush Inn Courts and 

Twiggers. 

With a career spanning well over five 

decades, the group has adapted its repertoire 

with time and today play a wide selection of 

material. 

“I always aimed for the band to play the 

most popular artists, such as Ricky Nelson, 

Billy Vaughan, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Gene 

The 

Woolston Club... 

A classic, contemporary 

club experience 

Cafe open from 11am 

TAB & Gaming, Function Facilities, 

HOUSIE Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday 

SHUTTLE Tuesday - Saturday 

Pitney, Eddie Calvert, Neil Diamond, Dire 

Straits, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard, Englebert 

Humperdink, and Elvis Presley,” said Neville. 

“So we play a good mixture of 50's, 60's, 70's 

ballads, rock and roll, country and even Irish.” 

Today the Viscounts still perform at private 

functions and the occasional public show, 

however in the past they have shared the stage 

with some wonderful performers including 

Eddie Low, Yolande Gibson, Maria Dallas, 

Frank Rowles, Bunny Walters, Toni Williams, 

Tommy Adderley, Dean Waretini, and 

Jonanthan J, to name a few. 

Neville Wilkins & the Viscounts appear at 

the Woolston Club, Hargood St, this Saturday 

(3rd September). Don’t miss your opportunity 

to ‘cut a rug’ with this highly respected and 

experienced show band. Entry $5. Band starts 

at 7.30pm.
