Opposition to multi-unit<br />
housing development mounts<br />
• By Noah Graham<br />
RESIDENTS OF a Somerfield<br />
street are joining together to stop<br />
a multi-unit development from<br />
going ahead, saying it will ruin<br />
their neighbourhood.<br />
More than 20 residents say<br />
Multay Developments Ltd’s plans<br />
to build four, two-storey townhouse<br />
units on 23 Studholme St<br />
will ruin their street’s familyorientated<br />
appeal.<br />
Residents have collected about<br />
300 signatures for their petition<br />
to oppose the development and<br />
shared their concerns at the<br />
Somerfield Residents’ Association<br />
meeting earlier this month.<br />
Retain Somerfield’s Character<br />
group member Marty Flanagan<br />
said the development of multiunit<br />
housing would ruin the<br />
neighbourhood.<br />
“We want to keep Somerfield<br />
as a family-friendly area and to<br />
have houses with space for kids<br />
to play and have a certain degree<br />
of privacy.<br />
“The proposed development is<br />
so at odds with everything else<br />
in the street and it will dominate<br />
the streetscape.”<br />
Mr Flanagan said the group<br />
will be working through<br />
their options to stop<br />
Multay Development’s<br />
plans.<br />
The company has<br />
applied for resource<br />
consent from city council<br />
and includes three, noncompliance<br />
issues.<br />
Somerfield Residents Association<br />
chairwoman Julie Tobell<br />
said the imminent concern was<br />
Melanie Coker<br />
23 Studholme St, but she was<br />
concerned intensive development<br />
will spread exponentially<br />
in Somerfield.<br />
She said she was<br />
worried people living<br />
in family-focused neighbourhoods<br />
did not fully<br />
understand the Residential<br />
Suburban Density<br />
Transition zoning which<br />
allows for more intensive<br />
development.<br />
An agent for Multay Developments<br />
said at this stage they did<br />
not want to comment.<br />
Spreydon Cashmere Community<br />
Board deputy chairwoman<br />
Melanie Coker said the board is<br />
supporting the residents who are<br />
concerned.<br />
City council will decide next<br />
month whether Multay Developments<br />
will be granted consent.<br />

Running for a good cause<br />
ST MARK’S School house leaders<br />
are organising a fun run to raise<br />
money for three charities.<br />
Six year 8 pupils (Lilly Okey,<br />
Brieanna Cox, Julia Glassey, Bella<br />
Edwards, Sophia Tiso and Millie<br />
Trustum) have all used their own<br />
initiative to help fundraise money<br />
for Cholmondeley Children’s<br />
Centre, Ronald McDonald House<br />
and KidsCan.<br />
St Mark’s School deputy<br />
principal Adrian Rennie said the<br />
pupils had been in contact with the<br />
charities and came up with the idea<br />
themselves.<br />
“It’s their brain child and they<br />
have done a really good job”<br />
He said pupils will dress in<br />
house colours which will represent<br />
one of the three charities and will<br />
compete in an obstacle course held<br />
at the school grounds.<br />
Mr Rennie said the house leaders<br />
asked their friends and family to<br />
donate and hope to raise between<br />
$100-200 per charity.<br />
The event will be held on April 7.<br />

FROM<br />
THE<br />
REPORTER’S<br />
DESK News.......................................3, 4<br />
SOMERFIELD residents are<br />
opposing a multi-unit development<br />
for 23 Studholme St saying it will<br />
negatively impact the community<br />
(page 1).<br />
With infrastructure in place,<br />
multi-unit developments can work.<br />
Although I agree multiple-unit<br />
buildings on one block of land<br />
detracts from the family-focused<br />
appeal they once held, they can<br />
also help those who really need it.<br />
As someone who needed a place<br />
close to work for a reasonable price,<br />
a room in a multi-unit building<br />
block was the perfect place for me.<br />
However, my view would be<br />
completely different if I owned<br />
a car. A quick stroll down my<br />
street and it is obvious there is not<br />
enough space for the number of<br />
vehicles trying to cram themselves<br />
against the curb.<br />
With more multi-unit developments<br />
in the area it is no wonder<br />
residents feel uneasy about new<br />
developments. – Noah Graham<br />

Fear of sediment entering river<br />
• By Noah Graham<br />
CITY COUNCIL need to act<br />
quickly to stop sediment runoff<br />
damaging the Heathcote<br />
River and nearby streams, local<br />
groups say.<br />
Last month’s Port Hills<br />
fire left the hillsides bare<br />
and with a lack of vegetation<br />
with the potential<br />
for sediment run-off to<br />
cause irreparable damage,<br />
Cashmere Stream<br />
Care Group chairperson Ken<br />
Rouse said.<br />
Mr Rouse said it is only a<br />
matter of time before there is a<br />
heavy rain storm in Christchurch<br />
which could cause sediment<br />
to wash off the hillside.<br />
He said city council need to<br />
act fast and allocate enough<br />
money to do the job properly<br />
if they are to limit<br />
the amount of damage to<br />
waterways.<br />
Spreydon-Cashmere<br />
community board member<br />
and Opawaho Heathcote<br />
River Network co-chairwoman<br />
Helene Mautner<br />
(left) said she was “very concerned”<br />
by the sediment issue.<br />
She said an increase of ash and<br />

Tags cleaned off Woolston<br />
monument’s protective panels<br />
Graffiti has been cleaned from<br />
the protective panelling on the<br />
Woolston Borough Monument on<br />
Wednesday after the city council<br />
was informed last Monday by<br />
<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>View</strong> it had been tagged.<br />
About $23,000 was spent to install<br />
the panels which were tagged<br />
within three weeks of being put in<br />
place. The panels were cleaned<br />
with a solvent and its anti-graffiti<br />
film did not need to be replaced.<br />
The work cost $60 for the solvent<br />
plus four hours of labour.<br />
have devastating effects on the<br />
aquatic life.<br />
Dr Mautner said the sediment<br />
blocks sunlight to the plants<br />
which will result in a knock-on<br />
effect that will impact the whole<br />
ecosystem.<br />
She said revegetation needs to<br />
start as soon as possible.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
service delivery senior manager<br />
Brett Aldridge said sediment is<br />
detrimental to the health of the<br />
waterways as it smothers the<br />
aquatic life.<br />
He said ECan are working<br />
with city council to provide<br />
landowners with good information<br />
on erosion and sediment<br />
control, as well as biodiversity<br />
expertise.<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said<br />
city council staff are looking at<br />
options immediately to reduce<br />
the risk and include creating silt<br />
traps by felling damaged trees,<br />
using straw bales as barriers to<br />
stop silt finding its way to waterways,<br />
as well as reseeding and<br />
initial replanting of hillsides.<br />

In Brief<br />
SCHOOL BUILDING<br />
Beckenham School is expecting<br />
the construction work on their<br />
building to be finished in time<br />
for the 2018 school year. The<br />
original completion date was May<br />
2018, but was brought forward to<br />
January after the building work<br />
was progressing significantly<br />
faster than expected, principal<br />
Sandy Hastings said.<br />
MOTOR-CYCLE IMPOUNDED<br />
Police impounded a youth’s<br />
motor-cycle in Hillsborough<br />
last Tuesday after he was spotted<br />
riding it without a helmet on<br />
Ansley Tce. Police attempted to<br />
pull him over at about 10pm.<br />
He didn’t stop initially, but<br />
eventually pulled over. A police<br />
spokeswoman said the motorcycle<br />
was impounded, he was<br />
spoken to by police but no charges<br />
were laid.<br />
VIEWS ON SIGN SOUGHT<br />
The Somerfield Residents’<br />
Association is seeking the<br />
community’s views on a ‘Welcome<br />
to Somerfield’ macrocarpa sign<br />
for the area. Chairwoman Julie<br />
Tobbell said the proposed site<br />
on the Somerfield, Strickland<br />
and Colombo Sts intersection<br />
outside of Nando’s would be the<br />
best location. She said it is an<br />
important time to identify the<br />
area.<br />

Veterinary practice<br />
Gizmo’s Adventure<br />
Gizmo, an 11 year old Ginger tabby<br />
from Sydney, presented to Catherine<br />
one morning with an acute left<br />
hindleg lameness. He wasn’t placing<br />
any weight on the leg and seemed<br />
in a lot of pain. Catherine suspected<br />
a femoral fracture due to his leg<br />
swinging and the obvious angulation<br />
mid femur. No other injuries were<br />
seen. He had normal neurological<br />
function. All his nails were scuffed and<br />
worn. Most often we see these injuries<br />
with road traffic accidents. Blood work<br />
the previous week was great.<br />
Catherine performed a digital xray to<br />
confirm her suspicions and Gizmo was<br />
immediately placed on intravenous<br />
fluids with pain relief ( a fentanyl CRI)<br />
and started on penicillin. A transverse<br />
femoral fracture located proximal third<br />
femur was diagnosed. His diaphragm<br />
was intact, as was his bladder and all<br />
his other abdominal organs looked<br />
fine. Surgery to repair the fracture or<br />
amputation were the only options<br />
available. This fracture couldn’t be<br />
left to just heal on its own. The clients<br />
were informed of the options – a<br />
referral to a specialist orthopaedic<br />
surgeon to plate the femur or IM<br />
pinning and cerclage wire performed<br />
at McMaster & Heap Vet practice.<br />
We repeated blood work to make<br />
sure Gizmo was still in good health to<br />
sustain an anaesthetic. The IM pinning<br />
option was adopted. His ongoing<br />
arthritic issues would have made<br />
losing a hindleg difficult for him to<br />
cope with, especially at 11 years old.<br />
Dr Michele McMaster performed the<br />
surgery within 24 hours of Gizmo<br />
being admitted. It is important<br />
with this type of injury to get those<br />
bone ends realigned as soon as<br />
possible. The anaesthetic and surgery<br />
went without a hitch. Gizmo was<br />
connected to our Cardell monitoring<br />
machine. The nurses can record his<br />
heart rate, blood pressure, breathing<br />
rate, body core temperature and<br />

oxygen saturation every 5 minutes<br />
during his anaesthetic. All his vital<br />
signs were excellent. I placed a<br />
large intramedullary pin through<br />
the medullary cavity of his femur to<br />
reduce the fracture and align the<br />
ends of the femur.<br />
A single cerclage<br />
wire was also placed<br />
to create as much<br />
stability as possible.<br />
Post operative xrays<br />
confirmed perfect<br />
placement. Now the<br />
rest is up to Gizmo.<br />
Gizmo was discharged<br />
3 days later able to stand and get<br />
into his dirt tray, eating up a storm<br />
and with the surgical site looking<br />
great. He was starting to place the<br />
paw when he left here. He will be in a<br />
cage for 4-6 weeks to allow as much<br />
immobility as possible for fracture<br />
healing. I will remove the pin in about<br />
6-8 weeks once the fracture site has<br />
calloused and healed. Gizmo will be<br />
back weekly for us to check on his<br />
progress. A great outcome all around.<br />

development<br />
worker Cherylan<br />
Davies talks<br />
about where<br />
Addington’s housing<br />
development is heading<br />
and the issues that come<br />
with the changes<br />
The changing face of<br />
Addington has raised some<br />
questions among residents and<br />
community groups.<br />
Some of the changes have been<br />
considered progress, while others<br />
have created angst among a great<br />
many residents who have lived in<br />
Addington for years.<br />
The concern is driven by the<br />
loss of Addington’s historic<br />
character and the picturesque<br />
peacefulness that it fashioned.<br />
As an older suburb, Addington’s<br />
identity has a rich tapestry<br />
CHANGE: Addington’s Poulson St is one of several streets in the area to experience a change in<br />
the type of housing developments.<br />

of stories, historic buildings,<br />
working class cottages, and<br />
quirky, narrow, tree-lined streets,<br />
with chirping native birds that<br />
enhance the park-like peaceful<br />
setting residents have enjoyed<br />
since the suburb’s establishment.<br />
A community that works<br />
well is one where residents<br />
are invested in their local<br />
neighbourhood.<br />
This occurs by being involved<br />
in local issues, joining local<br />
residents’ associations, meeting<br />
the people in your street, having<br />
spaces for locals to enjoy events,<br />
walking the dog, picnics and<br />
enjoying the company of others,<br />
mixed with a tolerance of each<br />
other.<br />
It’s a community where people<br />
talk to one another freely.<br />
Infill housing encourages a<br />
high transient rental population<br />
that often causes its own social<br />
problems.<br />
Short-term tenants are less<br />
likely to be involved in the area<br />
and neighbours are less likely<br />
to invest in getting to know the<br />
people next door.<br />
The development of housing is<br />
important.<br />
While L3 zoning may answer<br />
the infrastructure pressures, if a<br />
good plan for the suburb is not<br />
put in place by the community<br />
and the city planners, then it<br />
comes at the cost of the loss of a<br />
sense of belonging, identity and<br />
community well-being.<br />
A community that has a good<br />
balance of standalone houses,<br />
mixed with aesthetically pleasing<br />
apartment complexes, access<br />
to purposeful green spaces<br />
and community facilities is a<br />
fortunate suburb indeed.<br />
We said<br />
Six years after the<br />
Sydenham Heritage<br />
Church was demolished<br />
following the February<br />
2011 earthquake, rubble<br />
still remains on the former<br />

Jake Ranginui – Graffiti is<br />
art, this is tagging and ugly.<br />
Anne Beard – Install a<br />

So we can all see who these<br />
talented artists are.<br />
You said<br />
Alice Geary – Same with<br />
the Cathedral so what’s the<br />
difference? Both need to be gone<br />
. . . use some of the rubble and<br />
combine it into the new building.<br />
Marie Manson – This<br />
building I believe should never<br />
have been demolished in the first<br />
place.<br />
Wendy Anne Cornish –<br />
About time. A disgrace and I<br />
don’t know why the clearing of<br />
this eyesore pile of rubble hasn’t<br />
been enforced.<br />

Suzi de Gouveia – If we all<br />
acknowledge that those who find<br />
the need to scribble on surfaces<br />
that don’t belong to them are<br />
challenged in the manhood<br />
department, they might be less<br />
GRAFFITI: Although it has now been cleaned off, the protective<br />
panels surrounding the Woolston Borough Monument were<br />
tagged within three weeks of being put in place.<br />
inclined to advertise it.<br />
Debra Sinclair – That was<br />
inevitable really. They were<br />
probably on their way to the<br />
Night ‘n Day dairy. Cameras<br />
inside the box would do the<br />
trick.<br />
Cathryn Lucy – Chuck a<br />
camera inside too. Don’t know<br />
why anyone would even do this.<br />
Degenerates.<br />
Jill Allott – The graffiti is so<br />
ugly, just scribble. If only the<br />
perpetrators could at least be<br />
David Parr – Graffiti vandals<br />
remind me of dogs marking their<br />
territory.<br />
Phillip Rasmussen – They<br />
should go and get a job instead of<br />
being drop kicks.<br />
Elan Spale – We need<br />
more barriers around the<br />
barrier to stop the vandals. The<br />
offenders should have their face<br />
vandalised.<br />
Harry Hansen – Bring back<br />
national service I say.<br />
Viv Riddell – Now you have<br />
given them the publicity they<br />
wanted.

Tane Apanui<br />
Campaigner for commuter<br />
Tane Apanui talks to Noah Graham about his<br />
campaign to gain support for a railway system that<br />
would run from North Canterbury through Papanui<br />
and into the city<br />
How has It been trying to<br />
organise the Dash Rail project?<br />
I’m a one-man band, so it’s<br />
been very difficult trying to<br />
organise it. It’s been more than<br />
two years of work getting it<br />
done. The last city council were<br />
a bit more difficult to work with,<br />
whereas the new city council is a<br />
lot better to work with so that’s<br />
been good. I think we’ve elected<br />
the right people.<br />
Why is having a community<br />
railway system in Christchurch<br />
important?<br />
We Kiwis, we’re addicted to<br />
cars. When I was in Australia,<br />
I bought myself a nice Holden<br />
Commodore but then I took<br />
the train and I thought, wow,<br />
this is stress-free. You just jump<br />
on the train. One of the telling<br />
numbers for me that showed<br />
we need it was the suicide rate<br />
in Christchurch has doubled<br />
since the quakes. So I thought<br />
about the amount of stress it<br />
takes to break someone and if<br />
we are adding an extra 10 hours<br />
a week of stress because of the<br />
morning commute, when we<br />
could be sitting on a train using<br />
wi-fi just relaxing before work, I<br />
think it would go a long way to<br />
helping the mindset of the city.<br />
We’re fairly tense at the moment<br />
and we have been for a couple<br />
of years. So putting in a railway<br />
that needs to be done anyway,<br />
is going to help alleviate those<br />
daily stresses.<br />
What are some of the challenges<br />
you have faced while<br />
trying to get this system under<br />
way?<br />
One of the biggest obstructions<br />
I’ve faced when it comes<br />
to putting in rail is people don’t<br />
think it will succeed. But when<br />
you look at modelling for transport,<br />
the No 1 concern is travel<br />
time. The train is twice as fast as<br />
a bus and 50 per cent faster than<br />
a car. So when people wonder<br />
why the buses are failing, it’s because<br />
they are too slow. Whereas<br />
if they were to link up with a<br />
main system – this is where<br />
the rail should be a centrepiece<br />
– your whole public transport<br />
system would function better.<br />
At the moment, the buses are<br />
floundering all over the city.<br />
What was it like being a<br />
Hornby Ward candidate last<br />
year and why did you do it?<br />
It was difficult as well. Constituents<br />
base a lot of their trust<br />
on whether they have met you or<br />
not, regardless of what you are<br />
actually like. I would go doorknocking<br />
and people would say<br />
they have already made up their<br />
mind. That was hard. I’m a lucky<br />
person. No-one can achieve anything<br />
without the community<br />
around them. You can’t be successful<br />
without people lifting you<br />
up or putting you in a position to<br />
be successful. I suppose growing<br />
CITY GOALS:<br />
Tane Apanui<br />
has aspirations<br />
to implement<br />
a Christchurch<br />
community<br />
railway network<br />
to turn the city’s<br />
transport system<br />
into something<br />
suitable for the<br />
21st century.<br />

up in a poverty-stricken, broken<br />

Even though I’m a high school<br />
drop-out from a poor family, I<br />
got these really cool opportunities.<br />
As a community, we need to<br />

train system a one-man band<br />
You’ve had a variety of jobs,<br />
including flying a plane, what<br />
was that like?<br />
It’s been a lot of work. I did<br />
eventually find a job when I was<br />
in Australia flying a 1942 de<br />
Havilland tiger moth and it was<br />
cold and miserable because of<br />
the open cockpit. The first five<br />
minutes you are like, wow, and<br />
then it hits you and you’re like,<br />
“you know, this open cockpit<br />
thing is not awesome.” I’ve done<br />
a wee bit of flying, but I didn’t do<br />
a lot in that job, it just didn’t pay<br />
enough. I’ve done more excavator<br />
and operator work I suppose<br />
in scrap steel yards.<br />
Could you tell me a bit about<br />
your family?<br />
We’re all over the place. We’re<br />
not what you’d call a tight family.<br />
I’ve got a sister who is awesome.<br />
She is the coolest sister in<br />
the world. She lived in Christchurch<br />
recently and is the chief<br />
finance officer of CerebralFix.<br />
She bought a house in Westport<br />
and is working in the epic centre<br />
over there and still working for<br />
CerebralFix.<br />
You also represented Canterbury<br />
in under-18 hockey, what<br />
was that like?<br />
I was born and raised in<br />
Greymouth so getting into a<br />
TRAIN: Tane Apanui is trying to gain support for a community railway system that would run from<br />
North Canterbury through Papanui and into the city.<br />
Canterbury side, especially for<br />
hockey, was a big deal. I think<br />
I was one of the first kids ever<br />
from the West Coast to make<br />
the Canterbury side. Then I went<br />
on to play for the Canterbury<br />
under-21s in 2000. We won<br />
both of those tournaments, the<br />
under-18 and the under-21s.<br />
Then, a few years later, I went on<br />
to coach the under-21s and we<br />
won both of those tournaments<br />
in 2004 and 2005 – back-to-back<br />
national tournaments. Playing<br />
for Canterbury was awesome,<br />
and was definitely one of the<br />
highlights of my career.<br />
What was coaching like compared<br />
to playing?<br />
Stressful. Coaching is stressful.<br />
When you’re playing, it’s a<br />
lot more fun. Coaching takes<br />
years off of your life expectancy.<br />
You do meet some cool people<br />

OPEN COCKPIT: Tane<br />
Apanui used to fly a 1942 de<br />

worked in Australia.<br />
though.<br />
You’ve also worked with deaf<br />
and blind communities in Australia<br />
and New Zealand, how<br />
did you get into that?<br />
I was dating a sign language<br />
interpreter over in Australia, so<br />
I took up sign language. I did a<br />
couple of courses over there and,<br />
whenever I could help out with<br />
the deaf community, I did. I did<br />
a camp where you deal with people<br />
who are both deaf and blind.<br />
If you’ve not seen how deaf and<br />
blind people interact, it’s incredible.<br />
They’re quick and articulate<br />
and if they don’t like you, they let<br />
you know really quick. They’re<br />
incredible people.<br />
If you had spare time, what<br />
would you do?<br />
If I had time to play hockey, I’d<br />
play hockey. I’d go to the gym or<br />
I would play World Of Warcraft.<br />
Actually, the last time I logged<br />
on was probably a month and<br />
a half ago because I’ve been<br />
so flat out organising the train<br />

Cashmere teen<br />
takes triathlon title<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
SOLA KUWASAKI’S hard work<br />
on his swimming during the<br />
winter paid off as he won his age<br />
group at the Canterbury secondary<br />
schools triathlon championships<br />
on Tuesday at Scarborough.<br />
The Cashmere High School student’s<br />
time of 33min 23.6sec saw<br />
him finish fourth overall and top<br />
of the under-16 men’s individual<br />
group.<br />
The 16-year-old from Hillsborough<br />
achieved the win in spite of<br />
having a cold in the lead up to the<br />
race.<br />
“I was feeling pretty good before<br />
the race. I was relaxed even though<br />
I had the cold in the lead up,”<br />
Kuwasaki said.<br />
He finished up behind Saxon<br />
Morgan, 31min 57.6sec, Zachary<br />
Taylor, 32min 47.6sec and William<br />
Taylor, 33min 11.4sec.<br />
“I was slightly disappointed I<br />
finished behind (William Taylor)<br />
as he is a bit younger, but he is very<br />
good,” he said.<br />
His swimming, he said, was<br />
a weak spot in his arsenal, and<br />
he had worked hard to make it a<br />
strength of his.<br />
“I have been doing more swimming<br />
than running or biking<br />
lately,” he said.<br />
When asked if it would be something<br />
he would like to pursue as a<br />
career, he said he would rather just<br />
enjoy it for as long as possible.<br />
“I haven’t really thought about<br />
GOOD EFFORT: Sola<br />
Kuwasaki’s time of 33min<br />
23.6sec saw him finish fourth<br />
overall and top of the under-16<br />
men’s individual group.<br />
it, but I really love the sense of<br />
achievement,” he said.<br />
He trains with a lot of the guys<br />
he competes against and said that<br />
was “quite nice.”<br />
Looking ahead to the New<br />
Zealand schools triathlon national<br />
championships on Thursday in<br />
Wanganui, he said he will have to<br />
train like mad to compete with<br />
some of the top school-aged athletes<br />
in the country.<br />
“Some of their times are pretty<br />
intimidating. But I’m keen to give<br />
it a good whack,” he said.<br />

Te Waka Unua wins tournament<br />
CHAMPIONS: Woolston’s Te Waka Unua School were the<br />
overall winners with skills across the three sports.<br />
FAIR PLAY: Cashmere Primary School won the fair<br />
play award which is given to the team best displaying<br />
Youthtown’s values of belonging, mastery, generosity and<br />
independence.<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
YOUTHTOWN’S inaugural<br />
super 10 competition brought<br />
schools together on Friday for<br />
futsal, basketball and ripper<br />
rugby and the opportunity for<br />
students to give a different sport<br />
a go.<br />
Woolston’s Te Waka Unua<br />
School were the overall winners<br />
on the day with their skills<br />
across the three sports, while<br />
Cashmere Primary School won<br />
the fair play award.<br />
The fair play award was<br />
for the team best displaying<br />
Youthtown’s values of belonging,<br />

independence.<br />
Other schools involved included<br />
Rowley Ave, Casebrook<br />
Intermediate, Heaton Normal<br />
Intermediate, Chisnallwood<br />
Intermediate, Cathedral College<br />
and Parkview.<br />
Programme co-ordinator Iosua<br />
Tauti said the tournament is<br />
not your “normal” competition.<br />
“These are the kids that don’t<br />
get the opportunity to play for<br />
their school and love sport but<br />
might not be good enough to be<br />
picked in these sorts of teams,”<br />
he said.<br />
He said this gives them the<br />
opportunity to have a go.<br />
“It went really well, all the<br />
students that participated are<br />
all looking forward to the next<br />
tournament, and it was a beautiful<br />
day to be outside and have<br />
fun with the students,” he said.<br />

Hello<br />
Full range of services at<br />
popular local salon<br />
Since opening in September<br />
last year, the Cashmere Road<br />
hair salon 50 Shades of Fabulous<br />
has been proving popular with a<br />
growing clientele and the business<br />
is going very well, says owner<br />
Rebecca Wilson.<br />
The salon’s stylists offer a full<br />
range of services including cutting,<br />
colouring, blow waves, foils and<br />
hair-ups, catering for all ages and<br />
style preferences.<br />
They keep up to date with all<br />
the latest hair care and styling<br />
products from L’Oreal, and have<br />
just introduced a brand-new<br />
product, Smartbond, to the salon.<br />
“We offer this for clients who are<br />
having their hair coloured,” says<br />
Rebecca.<br />
“It works within the hair shaft<br />
to strengthen the hair and prevent<br />
damage while the hair is being<br />
coloured.”<br />
The treatment is optional, and<br />
costs $25 per treatment. Clients<br />
can also purchase Smartbond<br />
conditioner to take home for<br />
ongoing treatment.<br />
50 Shades of Fabulous also has<br />
the special L’Oreal offer – $83 for<br />
a 750ml Vitamino shampoo and<br />
750ml conditioner – a saving of<br />
over 50 per cent.<br />
“They have great deals like this<br />
every six months,” Rebecca says,<br />
“and they are only available while<br />
stocks last.”<br />
With its warm, friendly<br />
environment, 50 Shades of<br />
Fabulous has become a popular<br />
spot with locals, and during<br />
the recent Port Hills fires many<br />
gathered around the salon while<br />
they were out of their homes.<br />
During the ordeal the salon was<br />
visited by TVNZ journalist Toni<br />
Street, who not only reported<br />
live for the programme Seven<br />
Sharp, but also spent time<br />
speaking to the staff and<br />
clients, three of whom had been<br />
evacuated from their homes.<br />
“She was just lovely,” Rebecca<br />
says.<br />
Located at 152 Cashmere<br />

Hello<br />
Classic fashion the focus at<br />
this Halswell store<br />
For Rosalie Maxwell, owner/<br />
operator of Maxwells Fashion in<br />
Halswell, offering her customers<br />
quality fashion garments in classic<br />
styles is the key feature to her<br />
business.<br />
While she does stock some highend<br />
fashion, the main focus is on<br />
quality fabrics and construction in<br />
a mid-price range.<br />
“I’m not limited to following the<br />
latest fashion trends and colours. I<br />
cater for a more mature client base,<br />
who want more long-lasting styles,”<br />
Rosalie says.<br />
The friendly, relaxed atmosphere<br />
of Maxwells Fashion means there<br />
is no sales pressure, but at the<br />
same time Rosalie is happy to offer<br />
guidance to her customers when<br />
they are trying on garments.<br />
“I can also put together a whole<br />
outfit for a customer if they want to<br />
just relax in the fitting room.”<br />
Knitwear is one of the key<br />
features of the store, including a<br />
wide selection of merino in lovely<br />
shades and a range of prices, so<br />
with the cooler weather arriving<br />
these are well worth checking out.<br />
Customers can take items home<br />
on appro, or put them on layby to<br />
avoid missing out, Rosalie says.<br />
She stocks New Zealand-made<br />
garments where possible, though<br />
there are also imported labels on<br />
the racks. Brands include the very<br />
popular Black Pepper, as well as<br />
Optimum, Royal Merino, Slade,<br />
Equus, Yvonne Black and Piccadilly.<br />
“Being an independent retailer<br />
I can source my own styles so the<br />
stock in my shop is more individual,<br />
and I only carry a few of each style.<br />
I can also track down specific items<br />
for a customer.”<br />
As well, Maxwells Fashion<br />
caters for a wide range of sizes,<br />
starting from eight and ranging<br />
up to 22 and 24 in selected<br />
styles.<br />
To complement the garments,<br />
there is a small range of<br />
accessories.<br />

business, Rosalie understands<br />
what her customers look for,<br />
and stocks Maxwells Fashion<br />
accordingly. She looks forward<br />

classic, quality garments for the<br />
autumn and winter season.<br />

Fendalton Dental Surgery,<br />
looking after your dental needs<br />
Fendalton Dental Surgery, on the Idris<br />
& Glandovey Roads corner has been<br />
looking after the dental needs of their local<br />
community as well as the wider Christchurch<br />
area since 2011. It is operated by Dr Keith<br />
Chiang and his highly experienced team who<br />
can perform a variety of complex procedures<br />
ranging from General & Cosmetic Family<br />
Dentistry including Dentures upto more<br />
complex work like Wisdom teeth surgery,<br />
Implants and Crowns.<br />
Dentists Keith Chiang and Zohnia<br />
McNeill and Dental Hygienist Amy Lee<br />
offer a complete range of dental and oral<br />
care services, all in a very calm and relaxed<br />
environment. “We listen carefully to what<br />
our patients tell us so we can address each of<br />
their dental problems and help them achieve<br />
good oral health,” says Keith.<br />
A major component of Keith’s work is<br />
under IV sedation, which is available for<br />
people that are very nervous about visiting<br />
the dentist. He has performed more than<br />
2000 Intravenous sedation procedures and<br />
the clinic is equipped with the latest advanced<br />
equipment for sedation monitoring. He has<br />
a special interest in Oral Surgery, Implants<br />
and Intra venous sedation.<br />
For people with damaged or missing teeth,<br />
Zohnia will discuss with them the options<br />
of having crowns, permanent implants or<br />
dentures fitted, all of which have the added<br />
advantage of helping clients regain their<br />
functional bite as well as improve their<br />
smile and overall confidence. She<br />
has a special interest in Cosmetic<br />
dentistry, Root Canals and Geriatric<br />
dentistry. Her calm approach and<br />
special individual attention to detail<br />
has helped deal with most common<br />
dental issues in her patients.<br />
Hygienist Amy specialises in<br />
the overall maintenance of healthy<br />
teeth and gums. She educates her<br />
clients on how to look after their<br />
oral health, which if not taken care<br />
of can have detrimental effects<br />
on their overall health. The gum<br />
Dr Keith Chiang,<br />
Dentist<br />
disease, Gingivitis is one of the main reasons<br />
why people lose their teeth, the dentists<br />
point out, while research also indicates that<br />
gum disease in pregnant women can mean<br />
a higher chance of premature birth and low<br />
birth weight.<br />
Dry mouth or reduced salivary flow,<br />
which is caused by certain medications that<br />
people take can also lead to gum problems<br />
and tooth decay. By visiting the hygienist<br />
regularly, gum problems can be prevented,<br />
and consequently tooth decay as well as<br />
more serious health issues can be avoided.<br />
Fendalton Dental Surgery will soon add to<br />
its suite of advanced dental equipment with<br />
Dr Zohnia McNeil,<br />
Dentist<br />
Amy Lee,<br />
Dental Hygienist<br />
a state-ofthe-art<br />
3D CT scanner, which will be used<br />
to scan jaws, enabling the dentists to give a<br />
better diagnosis of clients’ dental problems.<br />
Keith, Zohnia and Amy invite new<br />
patients to visit their clinic and experience<br />
Expert Care and of being one of their valued<br />
patients, and without having to pay high<br />
fees.<br />
Easily accessible, highly visible and<br />
with plenty of on-site parking, Fendalton<br />
Dental Surgery, on the corner of<br />
Glandovey and Idris road, is open Monday<br />
to Friday 8.30am-5pm. Phone 351 1188<br />
